Qinghe Immortal Clan

Seeing that Qu Bai hesitated for a while and finally accepted the green jade bottle that he offered, a smile immediately appeared on Song Qingming's face.

Then, in front of Qu Bai, he took out a dozen "puppet beasts" of different shapes, and then cast a spell to control them to form a puppet formation.

Seeing the many "puppet beasts" in front of him, Qu Bai's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he asked again:

"Did you make all these puppets?

I remember that more than a year ago, your puppetry skills had barely advanced to level two.

I didn't expect that after such a short time, you have already been able to refine a late-stage foundation-building puppet beast. It seems that you have some talent in this area."

Hearing Qu Bai's praise, Song Qingming smiled and nodded slightly, without much change on his expression. He bowed and asked:

"Senior, you should know! The reason why I spent so much energy learning to refine puppet beasts is that I wanted to put together a set of puppet formations to drive them.

But now that I have refined so many puppet beasts, I find it difficult to control them all, and the power of the formation has not been enhanced much.

Senior, you are much more familiar with puppetry than me, do you have any good solution?"

Ever since he learned the "puppetry skills" from Qu Bai, Song Qingming's skills in this area have improved by leaps and bounds.

Not long ago, he had successfully refined the first "puppet beast" in the late stage of foundation building, and successfully upgraded his "puppet skills" to the upper level of the second level.

After refining many second-level "puppet beasts", Song Qingming began to try to refine them into his own "Ten Thousand Spirits Puppet Array" in order to test the power of his "Puppet Array".

After trying it out, Song Qingming found that even though his spiritual awareness was strong enough, he still seemed a little overwhelmed when it came to controlling the many "puppets" to form formations.

Originally, Song Qingming was able to exert their full strength by controlling four Jindan puppets to set up the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Array".

When the number of puppets increased to more than ten, even if all of them were replaced with Foundation Establishment stage "puppet beasts", Song Qingming still clearly felt that he had a splitting headache, and the spiritual consciousness released when casting spells became very chaotic.

When setting up the formation, he could only barely form a large formation, and the power it exerted was much worse than he had originally imagined. Sometimes it was even not as powerful as when he controlled four or five "puppet beasts".

After several attempts, Song Qingming found it still difficult to solve the problem, so he humbly brought gifts and came to "Yinfeng Ridge" to consult his senior Qu Bai.

Because he only had his primordial spirit left, after following Song Qingming to "Qinghe County", Qu Bai always complained that the lack of yin energy in "Funiu Mountain" was not conducive to repairing his "original spirit".

It was not until half a year later that Song Qingming brought him to "Yinfeng Ridge". Qu Bai fell in love with this spiritual place at first sight and asked Song Qingming to help him open up a cave in the canyon below the mine.

In order to prevent Qu Bai from being disturbed by others, Song Qingming also asked Song Yuanfang to discuss with the sect's "General Affairs Hall" and spent tens of thousands of spirit stones to take back all control of the "Yinfengling" mine.

There are no more "Xiaoyao Sect" cultivators in "Yinfeng Ridge" today, and all of them have been taken over by the Song family cultivators.

Song Qingming also designated the entire lower part of the canyon as his own place for cultivation and arranged for family monks to guard it.

Except for himself, no one else, whether it was the mining monks or the tribesmen stationed in "Yinfeng Ridge", was allowed to enter.

Qu Bai has been hiding here to practice for a while and has never left "Yinfeng Ridge". It is obvious that he is quite satisfied with his new cave.

After hearing Song Qingming's humble request, Qu Bai thought for a moment before softly replying to Song Qingming:

“With your current Nascent Soul stage consciousness, controlling these low-level puppet beasts, let alone a dozen, even if there are several times more, it won’t be a big problem.

However, if you want to use puppets to form a magic circle and want to control them freely, this requires a lot from the cultivator.

Unless you can practice the Nascent Soul Division Technique, it will be difficult to achieve the effect you want!"

"The Nascent Soul Soul Division Technique, could it be that this is the kind of soul division secret technique that cultivators can use when they are refining an external incarnation?"

"That's right! The Nascent Soul Soul Division Technique can indeed help cultivators refine an external incarnation.

I don't have this kind of secret skill yet.

But I have a secret method here that can help improve the spiritual awareness of cultivators. You can try to practice it. It may be of some help to you. "

After Qu Bai finished speaking, a flash of light appeared in front of him and a set of black scrolls appeared. He quickly sent them to Song Qingming.

Seeing the black scroll in front of him, Song Qingming's originally disappointed face suddenly perked up. He took the scroll and placed it on his forehead.

As soon as his spiritual consciousness entered the black scroll, Song Qingming immediately saw four very ancient golden characters, "Tianxin Divine Art".

This set of "Tianxin Divine Art" spells is much more mysterious than the "Soul-Devouring Art" he had practiced before. It is a set of spiritual skills that can be cultivated directly to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, the "Heavenly Heart Divine Art" also has relatively high requirements on the practitioner's spiritual consciousness. The spiritual consciousness of the Qi Refining cultivators is too weak to practice it directly.

Only those with spiritual consciousness at the foundation building stage or above can barely begin to practice this set of skills.

Previously, after Song Qingming practiced the "Soul-Devouring Art" and reached the Golden Core stage, he was forced to stop practicing because there was no follow-up technique.

During this period, Song Qingming also tried to deduce the subsequent skills of "Soul-Devouring Art" through the jade token that Feng He had given him.

Although Song Qingming spent a lot of time on this, he encountered many difficulties and failed to successfully deduce the subsequent exercises for the Jindan period. In the end, he gave up practicing the "Soul-Devouring Art".

This time, Song Qingming finally had other ways to improve his spiritual awareness after obtaining the "Heavenly Heart Divine Art". He couldn't help but show a bit of joy in his heart.

"Thank you for the reward of the technique, senior!"

Seeing Song Qingming bowing to him happily after obtaining the technique, Qu Bai quickly waved his hand and said:

"It's just a spiritual power technique, there's no need for you to be so polite.

Now that I live with you, I can’t take advantage of you for nothing, so I’ll treat this technique as a reward for you, so that you won’t feel that you’ve been at a disadvantage in the future.”

"Senior, you are joking. These are just a piece of cake. How dare I argue with you about such a small matter?

To be honest, I have just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and I know very little about these high-level techniques and matters related to cultivation.

In the future, there may be many areas where I need the guidance of my seniors."

"Haha! Don't worry, your cultivation has just reached the Nascent Soul stage, so I won't be stingy with you if I can give you some pointers.

However, I have to say this beforehand: I am helping you now, but there will definitely be a time in the future when I will need your help.

Just don’t let me down then.”

"Don't worry, senior! As long as it is within my ability, I will do my best."

"Alright! Even if you don't tell me, I know how capable you are and I will definitely not embarrass you on purpose.

If you have nothing else, just go back. I still need to practice in seclusion for a while, and I don’t have time to chat with you here!

However, if you can find high-level Yin Ling Water in the future, just give it to me.

I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

After saying that, Qu Bai turned into a ray of white light again and flew directly back to the pond not far away.

The next moment, it sank into an extremely dark branch in the middle of the pool.

Seeing this, Song Qingming bowed directly to the branches in front of him, then turned around and left.

Since making an agreement with Qu Bai, Song Qingming quickly felt the other party's strength in terms of knowledge and experience, and also received a lot of guidance from Qu Bai over the years.

Back then in the "Luoxiayuan" in the open sea, Song Qingming accidentally swallowed the "Flame Heart Jade".

If it weren't for Qu Bai's guidance, Song Qingming would never have thought of refining the spiritual jade to directly break through the Nascent Soul stage. I'm afraid he would have died in the open sea by now.

Although until now, Song Qingming still doesn't know Qu Bai's specific identity and origin.

But through the previous fight, Song Qingming could roughly guess that the "blue-eyed white fox" in front of him, who was just a spirit body, had been a master at least in the late Nascent Soul stage when he was alive.

For Song Qingming, having the opportunity to receive personal guidance on his cultivation from such a person of high cultivation at any time is naturally a rare opportunity.

For this reason alone, it was definitely worth it for Song Qingming to please Qu Bai. Even if it required him to spend more spiritual objects, he was willing to do so.

After he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in seclusion, Song Qingming actually asked Qu Bai about the other party's identity indirectly.

However, Qu Bai seemed unwilling to reveal his identity to Song Qingming. No matter how Song Qingming asked, he remained silent.

Fortunately, the two of them had already signed a "life and death contract". Even though he didn't know Qu Bai's specific identity, at least Song Qingming didn't have to worry about the other party doing something bad to him.

After all, Song Qingming could truly feel the help Qu Bai had given him over the years, and he was indeed worthy of Song Qingming's trust so far.

The only thing that made Song Qingming a little worried was the thing that Qu Bai wanted him to do. He hadn't said it yet, and he didn't know if he could satisfy him by then.

After leaving the cave where Qu Bai practiced, Song Qingming did not rush to leave "Yinfeng Ridge", but came to a forest beside the canyon and sat cross-legged.

In just a moment, Song Qingming entered into a state of meditation and cultivation, and the pure wood-attributed energy from the surrounding heaven and earth quickly rushed towards his body.

Because there were no monks nearby, this forest was unusually quiet. Apart from a few birds occasionally passing by, almost no sound could be heard.

More than half a month passed, and Song Qingming was still sitting there motionless.

It was late autumn now. The wind began to blow in the mountains, and fallen leaves were flying everywhere, gradually covering Song Qingming's figure on the ground under the dead leaves.

More than a month passed quickly!

That day, a gray figure in the woods quietly came to a nearby big tree.

As soon as it climbed up the tree trunk, its eyes were immediately attracted by several pine cones above the branches, and it immediately climbed up along the rough bark.

The movement was very light and he soon arrived in front of the target.

Just as it impatiently stretched out its claws to the pine cone above its head, a breeze suddenly blew from the mountain, and the whole trunk began to shake violently.

The little gray guy lost his balance and suddenly fell from the high branch, falling straight to the ground.

At this moment, it was in mid-air, looking at the people below, it was already frightened out of its wits, and could only let out a few helpless screams.

Just as its body was about to approach the ground, a flash of light suddenly appeared in a pile of dead leaves not far away, and then the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The next moment, the gray figure felt that he and the fallen leaves around him were being held up in the air by a very gentle spiritual power and did not fall directly to the ground.

After a while, the gray figure finally reacted and called out a few times in confusion, then jumped down from mid-air and went into the nearby forest without looking back.

After the gray figure disappeared, a figure with golden light stood up from the dead leaves not far away and turned into a man in green.

"I thought I could break through this realm in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect it to be a little short. It seems I have to change places!"

In recent years, in addition to practicing his own martial arts, Song Qingming has also not slacked off in practicing the more special martial arts "Tongtian Wanling Jue".

The reason why he meditated for such a long time in the densely forested "Cloud Mountain" was to absorb and refine the pure wood-attributed heaven and earth energy of this place.

It’s just that the “Tongtian Wanling Jue” technique is quite demanding to practice.

One hundred and thirty years have passed since Song Qingming entered the "Tower of Babel" and obtained this technique.

Now the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" that Song Qingming was practicing in his body was still at the peak of the late foundation building stage, one step away from entering the golden elixir realm!

Nearly half of the time left for the opening of the "Tower of Babel" which takes place once every three hundred years has passed.

According to this progress, Song Qingming still finds it difficult to be sure whether he has the ability to practice this technique to the late Golden Core stage when the "Tower of Babel" is opened next time.

Although he had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, he would be embarrassed to go back and see him if he performed too poorly in practicing the "Tongtian Wanling Jue".

After all, "Tongtian Wanling Jue" is a technique that is related to the future advancement to the God Transformation Stage. Now that Song Qingming has successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, how can he not be excited about it.

Next, he still needs to spend more time on this.

After putting away his own magic power, Song Qingming turned around and left the place without hesitation, then turned into a beam of light and returned directly to "Funiu Mountain".

Song Qingming had just returned not long ago, and Song Linyu had just come out of seclusion after stabilizing his cultivation.

Seeing that several of their ancestors were on the mountain, Song Yuanfang and his wife took this opportunity to hold a "foundation-building ceremony" for their granddaughter Song Linyu on the mountain.

This time, for the Song family, it was just an ordinary "foundation building celebration".

However, due to the special status of Song Yuanfang, the eldest elder of the Song family, many immortal cultivation families and individual cultivators around "Qinghe County" came to "Funiu Mountain" specifically for this purpose to congratulate him.

Although Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan did not attend the banquet in person, Song Qingyu, the family's Jindan ancestor, still showed up and gave enough face to Song Yuanfang and his wife.

In recent years, in addition to Song Linyu, the Song family has several cultivators from the "Lin" and "Xuan" generations who have successfully established their foundations, and the number of cultivators who have established their foundations has increased to twenty-seven.

The number of Qi Refining cultivators has also more than doubled compared to when the monsters and beasts caused chaos a hundred years ago, now totaling more than 1,300 people.

These are all monks with the surname Song from "Funiu Mountain".

If we add those guest officials of the family who are not well known to outsiders, and the independent cultivators who have been secretly employed by the Song family for many years, the number of cultivators that the family can deploy at critical moments is now close to two thousand.

Although in front of a huge Nascent Soul sect like the "Xiaoyao Sect" with tens of thousands of cultivators, the Song family's few cultivators are nothing and not even a fraction of theirs.

However, compared with the many Jindan families and sects in the "Floating Cloud Mountains" cultivation world, the current Song family is still very powerful.

Even if Song Qingming, the Nascent Soul clan leader, is captured, the "Funiu Mountain" Song family can still be regarded as a top-level Jindan force in this world of immortal cultivation.

When the family holds a "Foundation Building Ceremony", it is naturally impossible for the cultivators in the family to be absent without reason.

Except for some who were busy outside and could not get away, most of the thousands of cultivators of the Song family rushed back to "Funiu Mountain" to participate in the celebration and presented many gifts to Song Linyu.

The mountain was bustling for several days, until the second day after the "celebration banquet" ended, when it gradually calmed down.

"Leqing, where is Lin Yuren? I just asked you to take her with you, why is she gone again?"

After seeing off a guest, Song Yuanfang returned to the mountain but did not see Song Linyu. He hurriedly asked his wife Huang Leqing who was talking to someone nearby.

Hearing this, Huang Leqing glanced around and didn't see any familiar figures in the hall. He shook his head and sighed:

"She's already that grown up, how can I keep an eye on her?

I’m afraid he went to talk to Xuanyu and the others again.

Go look at the back hill, I think it should be there!"

Hearing his wife's slightly meaningful answer, Song Yuanfang immediately reacted, nodded slightly, sighed, then turned and walked out of the hall.

Behind the Song Family Mountain is a beautiful mountain.

Song Linyu, who had just established his foundation, was wearing a gorgeous purple ceremonial dress. He exuded an impressive aura from head to toe, and looked at the beautiful scenery under the mountain with a happy face.

Not far from her, a handsome man in white was looking into the distance with the same smile as her.

After a moment, Song Linxi suddenly turned around, took out a golden jade box from his body, and stuffed it directly into the hands of the man in white next to him.

“Brother Bai! This second-grade, top-grade elixir was given to me by Patriarch Siyuan.

I have just established my foundation and cannot use this pill yet.

Brother Bai needs to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of foundation building now, so this medicine is just right for you. You can take it first, and consider it as my repayment for your favor."

Looking at the extremely precious second-grade top-grade elixir in his hand, Bai Jingyun's expression was slightly stunned, and he quickly pushed it back.

"no!

Junior Sister Song, this elixir was given to you by Master’s Wife herself. It is so precious, how can you give it away casually?

If the Great Elder knows about this in the future, he will definitely blame you, so you'd better put it away quickly!

Don't worry, my cultivation has been polished to a point where I can break through the bottleneck even without the help of the elixir."

Due to the special arrangement of his master Song Qingming, Bai Jingyun successfully built his foundation through seclusion in "Funiu Mountain" and stayed in the Song family for quite a while.

It was also during this period that he and Song Linyu practiced together under the guidance of Song Yuanfang.

They were always together, and they accidentally developed feelings for each other.

After Bai Jingyun successfully established his foundation, he quickly bid farewell to Song Linyu and left "Funiu Mountain", returned to his family and began to focus on the development of the Bai family.

I thought that after they separated, they would be thousands of miles apart and would no longer have any intersection.

Unexpectedly, Song Linyu was a man of strong character. He ignored the objections of Song Yuanfang and his wife, and often sneaked to "White Lion Square" to visit Bai Jingyun after practicing.

The two of them have kept in touch and have helped each other to get to where they are today.

Seeing that Bai Jingyun was unwilling to accept his elixir, Song Linyu smiled slightly and quickly explained:

“I know that even without this elixir, Brother Bai can definitely break through the bottleneck on his own, but if you have this elixir, it will definitely save you a lot of time and be more secure.

Don't worry, I have successfully established my foundation, and my grandfather is so happy that he would never blame me!"

Hearing this, Bai Jingyun still shook his head and said, "Junior sister, I understand your intentions.

But, I really can’t do this.”

"Brother Bai! Back then, when I hadn't established my foundation, you went through untold hardships to find purple crystal spirit water for me to cleanse my body.

If not for this, even with the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, I would not have been able to establish my foundation so successfully!

Compared with these favors of enlightenment, why wouldn't you accept a level two elixir?

If you keep being so polite to me, I will get angry. "

"Junior sister! You misunderstood me."

Seeing Song Linyu's face suddenly change and looking at him with some displeasure, Bai Jingyun felt helpless and hurried forward to explain a few words.

However, Song Linyu had a stubborn temper. No matter how Bai Jingyun explained, she still refused to change her mind.

In the end, Bai Jingyun had no choice but to take out a second-level low-grade talisman from his body and gave it to the other party as a return gift. Then he put the pill in his hand into his storage bag.

Not long after the two of them finished their conversation, a figure at the foot of a mountain not far away had quietly seen everything that had just happened.

"This girl is really willing to spend money. She exchanged such a precious second-grade upper-grade elixir for a low-grade talisman. She has just established her foundation and is so wasteful. How can she survive in the future?"

After sighing softly again, Song Yuanfang finally couldn't help but show up and walked quickly towards where Song Linyu and the others were.

"Greetings, Great Elder!"

Seeing Song Yuanfang walking in the distance, Bai Jingyun was startled and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully!

Seeing this, Song Yuanfang first smiled and nodded and returned the greeting.

Then his expression changed slightly and his gaze turned to Song Linyu, who was standing beside him and didn't seem to care.

"There are so many guests at home, but you just run around. Come back with me!" (End of this chapter)
