Chapter 800 Leiyuanhai Trade Fair, Windless Island
Since the family had Huang Siyuan, a high-level alchemist, the entire Song family has benefited a lot from it.
Whether it is Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, or many low-level cultivators under the family, almost all of them have taken and refined the pills made by Huang Siyuan.
Song Qingming naturally supported Huang Siyuan's idea of improving her alchemy skills, and immediately nodded and agreed.
Even if this aspect is not considered, as the two have supported each other for many years, Song Qingming will also try his best to find the high-level alchemy furnace that Huang Siyuan wants if he has the ability.
Seeing that Song Qingming agreed to what she wanted, Huang Siyuan smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more. She turned around and picked up the teapot on the table again.
Time passed slowly, and a few months passed quickly. On this day, Song Yuanhao, Song Linrui and Song Yuanqian, three foundation-building elders of the Song family, came to the family meeting hall together.
As soon as the three of them came in, Song Yuanfang immediately reached out and dismissed the younger generations who were helping him manage things.
"Yuanqian, these things are what the family has recently collected and will take to Leiyuanhai. You must take good care of them.
Remember, no matter what happens, you must discuss it with Uncle Qi first, and don't let anything go wrong."
After Song Yuanfang finished speaking, he immediately handed the storage bags in his hand to Song Yuanqian and the others, and told them again about the many spiritual objects in them.
The things in these storage bags were collected by the Song family over several months, and almost all of them were high-level spiritual objects above level 2.
As a family elder who has managed the "Gold Storage Pavilion" for many years, Song Yuanqian also participated in the process of collecting spiritual objects. She was already very familiar with this, and nodded to Song Yuanfang.
"Sixteenth brother! Don't worry, I know all these things, nothing will happen.
Besides, the clan leader is leading the team this time, and we are just following to learn more about the world and help out. How dare we make decisions on our own!"
As they were talking, a beam of light fell from the top of "Funiu Mountain", and then Song Qingming, dressed in green, appeared outside the "meeting room" and strode in.
"Greetings to the clan leader!"
Seeing Song Qingming coming in, Song Yuanfang and others hurried forward and bowed to him.
Seeing the outstanding juniors in the three families in front of him, Song Qingming nodded slightly and waved his hand to signal them to stand up.
In addition to Song Yuanfang, the other foundation-building elders in the Song family have also made some progress in their cultivation in recent years.
As the only cultivator with different spiritual roots in the family, Song Yuanhao has now reached the peak of the eighth level of foundation-building, and is only one step away from breaking through to the ninth level of foundation-building. It is possible to enter the peak realm of foundation-building at any time.
Since Song Yuanqian established her foundation, her cultivation speed is not particularly fast in the family because of her average spiritual root talent.
However, she has been in charge of the family's "Gold Storage Pavilion" for many years, and she has never lacked spiritual stones and elixirs. Her cultivation has also broken through to the sixth level of foundation building in an orderly manner. If nothing unexpected happens, Song Yuanqian will definitely be able to advance to the late stage of foundation building smoothly in the future.
Among the new generation of the "Lin" generation of the Song family, Song Linrui, who has the most outstanding spiritual root talent, has not been in foundation building for a long time, but his cultivation has already left behind several family members who have established their foundations at about the same time as him.
He is less than fifty years old, but his cultivation has broken through the fourth level of foundation building and become a mid-stage foundation building cultivator.
Song Linrui's cultivation speed after establishing his foundation has even surpassed Song Yuanli, another double spiritual root cultivator of the Song family at that time, and has become the benchmark for all the family members in the Qi Refining period.
However, Song Linrui can have such a speed of cultivation. In addition to his outstanding spiritual root talent, of course, it is also inseparable from the strong support of several ancestors of the family.
In recent years, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu often took some time to instruct their younger clan members in the foundation-building period when they were free from cultivation. Among them, Song Linrui and Song Xuanfeng benefited the most.
Because they received accurate news from the sect, they had to go to the East China Sea to take a treasure ship to participate in the trade fair in the "Leiyuan Sea" cultivation world.
After learning this news, Song Qingming had the idea of taking a few younger family members with him.
First, they could let these younger generations go out and see the world, and second, when they came to the trade fair, they would have a few people around them who could be ordered around, so they would not have to do everything themselves, and they could save a lot of energy to search for the spiritual objects they needed.
After deciding on this idea in his mind, Song Qingming discussed it with Song Yuanfang, and finally chose to take Song Yuanqian and the other two to the "Leiyuan Sea" cultivation world together.
Seeing that Song Yuanqian and the others were ready, Song Qingming took the list of spiritual objects that Song Yuanfang had handed over, took a quick glance at it and put it away, then uttered two words lightly.
"Let's go!"
Soon, a white light passed through the "Funiu Mountain" mountain protection formation from mid-air, and then went all the way south to Guyang Mountain where the "Xiaoyao Sect" was located.
Like the Song family, the "Xiaoyao Sect" also attached great importance to participating in the "Leiyuan Sea" trade fair this time.
The entire sect also went through a mobilization for this, and almost all the high-level spiritual objects collected in the "Shangong Pavilion" over the years were moved out.
When Song Qingming and the others arrived at "Guyang Mountain", the cultivators and disciples of the "Shangong Pavilion" were still moving the spiritual objects one by one to the sect's large flying boat.
After asking Xu Ziyan, Song Qingming learned that it would take a few days before they could set off, so he took Song Yuanhao and the others to live on "Guyang Mountain" first.
The night before the departure, Song Xinyu, who learned that Song Qingming was going to the "Leiyuan Sea" cultivation world, took Song Linxi to the door and wanted Song Qingming to take her out to see the world.
In this regard, Song Qingming did not choose to refuse, and immediately nodded and agreed, letting Song Linxi follow him.
Since they were going to take a treasure ship from the East China Sea, it would not cost much spirit stones for Song Qingming and the others to take one more person, and it would not have much impact.
The reason why Song Xinyu asked Song Linxi to go to "Leiyuan Sea" was not only to let her go out and gain more experience, but also to take this opportunity to let Song Linxi have the opportunity to follow Song Qingming.
It can not only let her get familiar with the Song family cultivators on the "Funiu Mountain" side of the Song family, but also let Song Linxi get in touch with Song Qingming, the family's golden elixir ancestor.
Even if it was just some verbal guidance, it would be of great help to Song Linxi's future path.
After living in "Guyang Mountain" for a few days, the "Xiaoyao Sect" finally moved all the spiritual objects that needed to be brought onto the flying boat.
Under the instructions of Bai Yuxian, the Yuanying ancestor, this large flying boat of the sect, which was full of supplies, soon left "Guyang Mountain" and headed east to the East China Sea Xiuxian Realm.
In addition to Bai Yuxian, the Yuanying ancestor, the "Xiaoyao Sect" also sent a number of cultivators to participate in the trade fair in the "Leiyuan Sea" Xiuxian Realm.
Among them were Song Qingming, Chu Fengping, Zhang Tieyang, Chen Xuanxin, Yun Nishang, five Jindan elders of the sect, and more than 40 foundation-building disciples with different cultivation levels.
After passing through "Yunwu Mountain", the flying boat soon entered the territory of Zheng State in the east and stopped outside a market in the middle of Zheng State.
Seeing the arrival of the flying boat of "Xiaoyao Sect", the two Jindan Sects of "Minghe Sect" and "Tianxing Sect" in Zheng State also sent cultivators with spiritual objects to board the flying boat.
Although "Minghe Sect" and "Tianxing Sect" belong to the same state of Zheng, they have always had some disagreements with each other and often fight for the territory of the sect and cultivation resources.
The two sides have been fighting for hundreds of years, and the entire Zheng State's cultivation world has been seriously injured. They have long been incompatible and have formed countless hatreds.
In recent years, in order to jointly counterattack the northern demon tribe, "Xiaoyao Sect", "Tianji Sect" and other Yuanying Sects took the initiative to come forward to mediate between the two sects, which made them temporarily put down their hatred.
Although the cultivators of the two sects stopped fighting and made peace, the hatred in their hearts still exists. Even now after boarding the flying boat of "Xiaoyao Sect", the cultivators of "Minghe Sect" and "Tianxing Sect" do not greet each other when they meet.
Seeing this scene, Song Qingming couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The fragile peace between the two sects was estimated to not last too long. Sooner or later, both sides would have to fight a war.
Although there was a "Yunwu Mountain" between the Song family and Zheng State, there were still some small paths between the two territories for low-level cultivators to travel.
I don't know if the two sects of Zheng State will fight again, and whether the Song family's territory in the west will be involved.
After the cultivators of "Minghe Sect" and "Tianxing Sect" came up, the flying boat set off again and headed east, and took some cultivators from other sects with them, and then crossed the "Duanyun Mountains" and jumped into the vast ocean.
Except for some high-level cultivators in the Jindan stage, most of the foundation-building cultivators on the flying boat came to the "East Sea Xiuxian Realm" for the first time. Seeing this endless sea, everyone's face showed a bit of excitement.
Song Yuanqian took Song Linrui and Song Linxi to the flying boat to appreciate the beautiful scenery below. After a few days, the three of them were very familiar with each other.
Song Linxi was born in "Guyang Mountain" and grew up in the sect when she was young. Although she was influenced by her master Song Xinyu, she had always had a vague concept of the "Funiu Mountain" family and did not have much affection.
After getting to know Song Linrui and Song Yuanqian, and getting familiar with them, these fellow cultivators, Song Linxi also gained some new understanding of the family thousands of miles away.
Song Yuanhao, whose cultivation was stuck at the bottleneck of the ninth level of foundation building, was not very interested in the scenery outside the window. He always followed Song Qingming and asked him some cultivation experience in his spare time.
With the development of the family, there are more and more cultivators in the family in recent years. Even if there are several Jindan ancestors such as Song Qingming sitting above, there will inevitably be some people below.
All of them began to speculate, openly or secretly, about who the next Jindan ancestor of the family would be, and chose to establish a good relationship with him in advance, which would naturally make other people who were not optimistic about it think more about it.
Since his cultivation broke through to the late stage of foundation building, Song Yuanhao's cultivation speed has not been particularly smooth. Instead, the younger generations of his family, Song Changze and Liu Yuxin, have cultivated to the ninth level of foundation building before him.
Recently, after learning that Song Changze was about to go into seclusion to form a pill, Song Yuanhao always felt pressured and couldn't help thinking about it every time he heard the clan members mention this matter, which also led to his failure in the recent attempts to break through the bottleneck of the ninth level of foundation building.
Song Yuanhao grew up in a place like "Tuoyun Mountain" where casual cultivators mixed together. He had seen a lot of human warmth and coldness. Although he had been building his foundation for many years, he was still sensitive in his heart and was easily disturbed by the words of others.
After learning about this, in order to help him calm down, Song Qingming chose to take Song Yuanhao out, intending to let him stay away from the family for a while and let go of the grudge in his heart.
Although the cultivators have left their mortal bodies, the growth rate of their personal state of mind is not as fast as that of the physical body, and it still takes a certain amount of time and experience to slowly polish.
Even though Song Qingming has practiced for so many years, his own Tao heart is much firmer than Song Yuanhao and others, but occasionally when he encounters his family members and friends leaving, he still can't help but sigh in his heart, unable to completely get rid of these emotional shackles.
During the more than ten days on the flying boat, when Song Yuanhao asked him about the troubles in his practice, Song Qingming also patiently guided him about his personal state of mind.
Although Song Yuanhao didn't feel much about this at first.
But as the flying boat gradually moved away from the "Floating Cloud Mountains", Song Yuanhao gradually felt a sense of relief in his heart, and soon understood the intention of Song Qingming's teaching to him.
After the flying boat stopped on an island called "Windless Island" in the "East Sea Xiuxian Realm", Song Yuanhao slowly forgot the pressure that had accumulated in his heart for many years, and began to take the initiative to get off the flying boat and strolled around the island market with Song Yuanqian and others.
"Windless Island" is one of the largest islands close to the open sea in the East Sea Xiuxian Realm.
Because natural disasters such as beast tides and wind rarely occur here, it is also a rare and relatively safe place around the dangerous open sea.
Therefore, "Windless Island" has also become the largest port facing other places in the "East Sea Xiuxian Realm" facing the open sea, gathering thousands of treasure ships of all sizes, leading to various islands in the open sea.
There are even high-level fourth-level treasure ships that can help cultivators cross the vast open sea and reach the "Thunder Yuan Sea" Xiuxian Realm at the end of the sea.
"Windless Island" does not belong to a sect, but is jointly managed by many large Xiuxian sects nearby, so the cultivators coming and going on the island are also very messy.
There are not only local cultivators and independent cultivators from the major sects of the "East Sea Immortal Cultivation World" but also many foreign cultivators from other immortal cultivation worlds.
Recently, because of the news that the "Thunder Yuan Sea" trade fair was held, the number of foreign cultivators on "Windless Island" has doubled.
However, because there are high-level Yuanying cultivators on the island all year round, the safety of cultivators on "Windless Island" is relatively guaranteed compared to other places in the "East Sea Immortal Cultivation World".
After the flying boat arrived at "Windless Island", because they had to wait for the "Star Gate" cultivators to meet up here, they would transfer to a high-level treasure ship together and continue to the "Thunder Yuan Sea" immortal cultivation world.
Song Qingming and others stayed in the market on the island, waiting for the "Star Gate" cultivators while exploring the news of high-level treasure ships that could go to the "Thunder Yuan Sea" immortal cultivation world on the island.
After living in the market for a few days, Zhang Tieyang, who had nothing to do, took the initiative to come to the door and invited Song Qingming to go to the market to taste the local delicious spiritual food.
Song Qingming was a greedy person. When he met Zhang Tieyang's warm invitation, he did not refuse too much and quickly agreed. Soon, they came to the largest restaurant on "Windless Island" together.
Not long after the two sat down, several delicious spiritual foods with good color, fragrance and taste were brought up by several maids.
"Brother Song, I have tasted these dishes yesterday. They are absolutely delicious. We finally have the opportunity to come here once. It would be a pity if we miss it.
I know that you are also a person who loves food. Today, I thought of inviting you to taste it together. Please don't be polite to me, Brother Song."
"Oh! In this case, I am taking advantage of Brother Zhang today. It's a pity that Brother Chu and others are not free recently, otherwise it would be more fun to taste wine and chat with more people."
Hearing what Song Qingming said, Zhang Tieyang looked a little embarrassed:
"Brother Song, you are joking. The Hu family made such a fuss last year, and I lost all the family business I have accumulated for decades.
If life had not been getting harder and harder recently and I really couldn't make ends meet, I wouldn't have thought of going to Leiyuanhai with you to earn these few spirit stones.
If Brother Chu and Sister Yun had come today, I couldn't afford the wine. Maybe we would be driven out later."
The Zhang family represented by Zhang Tieyang has been entrenched in the "Iron Immortal Castle" in the northwest of Weiguo for many years. After years of careful operation, they completely squeezed the declining Hu family out of their territory in the past two years.
Now, the "Iron Immortal Castle", a third-level middle-grade spirit vein, is completely under the control of the Zhang family.
After the Hu family was squeezed out of the "Iron Immortal Castle", Hu Qingyun brought a group of family cultivators to "Guyang Mountain" last year to cry.
Hu Qingyun, who was forced into a desperate situation by the Zhang family, was completely desperate. He did not hesitate to dig out the ashes of the Hu family members who died in the battle with the monsters and placed them directly at the gate of the sect.
Hu Qingyun and his family blocked the gate for more than half a month, looking like they would never give up until they achieved their goal.
The sect was also made too ugly by the Hu family. There was no choice but to let Xu Ziyan, who was in charge of the sect's mundane affairs, come forward and go to "Iron Immortal Castle" again to mediate the matter between the Zhang and Hu families.
In the end, the Zhang family paid tens of thousands of spirit stones to help the Hu family purchase a third-level inferior spirit vein from the sect, and the matter was completely settled.
With the help of the sect, the Hu family also moved from "Iron Immortal Castle" to the vicinity of "Guiyunfang".
Zhang Tieyang was bleeding from gritted teeth. Although he had obtained the "Iron Fairy Castle" justifiably, he was depressed about it for a while. This time he found Song Qingming out for a drink and couldn't help but talk to him about it.
Naturally, Song Qingming had heard about the farce between the Zhang and Hu families.
It's just that Song Qingming has never liked to get involved in these outside affairs. Now that he heard Zhang Tieyang mention this matter again, Song Qingming also smiled helplessly on his face.
Seeing that Song Qingming didn't speak, Zhang Tieyang chatted with him again, and with a hint of alcohol, he talked about his grievances with the Hu family, and angrily scolded Hu Qingyun and the entire Hu family.
Song Qingming, who was sitting aside savoring the food and listening patiently to what he said about the matter, smiled and nodded when he heard this, but still did not express his views on it.
"Senior Brother Song, I have seen through some things over the years. The sect clearly promised me that the Iron Immortal Castle would be given to me to establish the Zhang family.
As a result, the Hu family was in such trouble. Senior Sister Xu and the others didn't say a word to help me. Instead, they asked me to give them spiritual stones to help them establish a clan and settle down. What do you think this means? "
"Junior Brother Zhang, there are some things you can't say casually outside. You drank too much today. I think we should go back first."
Hearing that Zhang Tieyang's words were getting more and more excessive, Song Qingming couldn't help but change his face slightly, and took the initiative to remind him.
Seeing that Song Qingming's tone was a bit wrong, Zhang Tieyang seemed to have sobered up a little. He quickly shook his head and cupped his hands at Song Qingming and said, "Senior Brother Song is saying that I made a drunken gaffe today.
I hope Senior Brother Song won’t take offense! "
"Alas! How can Junior Brother's drunken words be taken seriously? It's just that there are so many people coming and going here. I am doing this for Junior Brother Zhang's own good. Junior Brother, please don't think too much."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tieyang immediately smiled and nodded, then waved and sent out a message to call in a young woman in purple who was guarding the door.
"Yurong, go down and settle the bill, and pack up two bottles of spiritual wine and take them back later."
After the woman in purple nodded and left, Zhang Tieyang turned to Song Qingming and asked meaningfully: "Senior Brother Song, what do you think of me as a junior?"
This purple-clothed woman has red lips and white teeth, and is slim and graceful. Her cultivation is not high and she only has the second level of foundation building. It seems that the foundation building time is not long, and she should have only succeeded in building the foundation in recent years.
This time he followed Zhang Tieyang to the "Lei Yuanhai" Immortal Cultivation World. When Song Qingming saw her for the first time on the flying boat, he thought she was another one of Zhang Tieyang's wives and concubines.
It wasn't until Zhang Tieyang introduced her just now that he realized that this woman turned out to be one of his direct descendants, and a look of surprise could not help but appear on his face.
"Gentle and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament, and being able to be so calm and composed in front of you and me, this child also has a very good temperament.
Judging from her age, she should be able to successfully build the foundation so quickly. She must have at least three spiritual roots. She is very lucky. She will have a successor in the future. "
Hearing Song Qingming's praise, Zhang Tieyang couldn't help but smile a little, nodded to him and said: "This is the granddaughter of the third eldest son of my family, and she is also one of the more up-to-date among my descendants.
Senior brother and I have known each other for more than a hundred years now, and we can be considered close friends. Now that our two families are under the same sect, we should interact more with each other.
Today I want to form a marriage with Senior Brother Song and marry Yurong into Funiu Mountain. I wonder if Senior Brother Song is willing to facilitate this? "
"Ah! This...
Our families are not far apart, so marriage is not impossible. I just wonder if Junior Brother Zhang has taken a liking to the younger generation of my family. Can you tell me about it first so that I can think about it. "(End of chapter)
