Qinghe Immortal Clan

Only Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, who were practicing on the top of the mountain, clearly felt the change in the spiritual energy around them, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

By the time they realized it, they realized that most of the spiritual energy was flowing towards the cave where Song Qingming was in seclusion.

Song Qingyu, Huang Siyuan and others immediately stopped practicing and gave the pure spiritual energy on the mountain to Song Qingming who was in the process of breakthrough practice, for fear that it would affect his ongoing breakthrough and advancement.

Now, with Song Qingming's cultivation level improving, the spiritual energy on the top of "Funiu Mountain" is obviously not as abundant as before.

Song Qingming's advancement and breakthrough in cultivation alone had absorbed all the spiritual energy on the top of the mountain, which did not recover until more than half a month later.

At this time, Song Qingming, who was in seclusion in the cave, slowly opened his eyes, and a satisfied smile slowly appeared on his face.

"After such a long period of seclusion, this time it finally worked!"

Although Song Qingming spent a lot of time on this retreat, the result was as he expected. He successfully broke through the realm and became a second-level Nascent Soul cultivator.

Thinking that he had just broken through the Nascent Soul stage more than ten years ago and had successfully advanced to the second level of the Nascent Soul stage, such an achievement was considered outstanding among all the Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, the reason why Song Qingming was able to break through his cultivation so quickly was not only due to his own hard work, but more importantly, it was due to the merit of swallowing and refining the "Flame Heart Jade" that year.

If it weren't for this spiritual object that saved him decades of hard training, he would probably need at least twenty years of slow practice before he could successfully break through.

I have to say that although the process of finding the "Flame Heart Jade" with Qu Bai was a bit tortuous and bizarre, the final result benefited me a lot.

For Song Qingming, it can be said that those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future!

After stabilizing his own cultivation, Song Qingming was not in a hurry to leave the cave where he was in seclusion. He closed his eyes again and put his spiritual consciousness into his body.

This time, Song Qingming's spiritual consciousness came into the sea of ​​consciousness again, and soon a huge golden scroll appeared in Song Qingming's sight.

This time, Song Qingming was in seclusion for more than three years, and not only did he successfully advance his cultivation to the second level of Nascent Soul.

Even the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" martial art that had never been improved before finally made a breakthrough this time, and successfully entered the Golden Core realm from the original late foundation-building realm.

Ever since he obtained the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" martial art, Song Qingming has been practicing it diligently for many years.

However, due to the great difficulty in practicing this technique, he was unable to make much progress. It was not until more than a hundred years later that he finally achieved his wish to cultivate it to the Golden Elixir Realm.

Although the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" technique was created by a cultivator who had reached the state of spiritual transformation.

But it is not of much help to cultivators during the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages. It only serves to assist in practice and improve the purity of one's own magic power.

Apart from achieving a breakthrough in cultivation and feeling a little more relaxed than ordinary people, other things have not shown much use to Song Qingming at present.

This time, after finally successfully breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, Song Qingming could not wait to actively explore the subsequent techniques of the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" after the Golden Core Stage.

As his spiritual consciousness slowly penetrated into the golden scroll, the subsequent exercises of "Tongtian Wanling Jue" gradually began to appear in front of Song Qingming, attracting his attention.

Through his own exploration, Song Qingming finally unlocked the subsequent exercises of the Jindan period of "Tongtian Wanling Jue" and studied them in detail.

After reaching the Golden Core Stage, the practice of "Tongtian Wanling Jue" is no longer limited to absorbing the vital energy between heaven and earth to enhance and purify the magic power in one's own body.

Instead, one must absorb the refined vital energy of heaven and earth within the body and directly temper the cultivator's body from within.

This method can not only gradually improve and strengthen the cultivator's physical body, but also transform it into armor in the later stage, greatly improving the cultivator's own defense capabilities.

In the world of immortal cultivation, apart from a few physical cultivators who specialize in practicing this type of technique to strengthen their physical body, very few other cultivators would deliberately practice this type of technique.

Therefore, the physical strength of a normal cultivator is far inferior to that of a monster of the same level. They are usually at a disadvantage in this regard during a fight and can only rely on their magical powers to make up for the gap.

Song Qingming has been practicing for many years, but he has never practiced any physical training techniques, so his physical strength has always been relatively poor.

Over the years, he has actually always wanted to find a suitable martial art to strengthen his body and improve his defensive capabilities.

However, because the physical cultivation techniques among human cultivators have extremely high requirements for cultivators, people who practice this kind of techniques generally have to use external objects to temper their bodies all year round, which greatly delays the practice of other techniques.

Therefore, cultivators who are not specialized in physical cultivation will not easily spend time practicing this kind of skills. Only some cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage will spend extra time to strengthen their bodies.

Although Song Qingming had ideas over the years, he had never been able to find a suitable method, which was why he had not made any progress in this area.

Seeing that the subsequent exercises of "Tongtian Wanling Jue" could actually help improve his physical strength, Song Qingming was very surprised and couldn't help showing a bit of joy.

Anyway, he had to practice this set of skills no matter what. Now he could use it to make up for the shortcomings of his weak physical body, so Song Qingming was naturally very happy.

It must be said that Song Qingming was generally satisfied with the results he obtained this time. It seemed that his years of hard work in practicing the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" were not in vain.

Moreover, according to the techniques, at the end of the practice, the cultivator's body can be strengthened by dozens of times or even scores of times.

Such an extreme increase in strength is enough to make the physical strength of a human Nascent Soul cultivator comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Demon King of the same level, and the fighting ability can also be greatly enhanced.

The only uncomfortable thing is that the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" Jindan stage practice is as difficult to practice as the previous Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages.

When he was checking the exercises just now, Song Qingming had already tried it out, absorbing the vital energy in his body to temper his body from within.

However, he discovered that just as he had drawn out his magic power from his dantian, the meridians in his body could no longer withstand the tempering of so much pure energy, causing Song Qingming to feel tremendous pain.

In the end, before he had time to temper his body, the pain was too unbearable to bear. He had to temporarily give up tempering his body and send his magic power back to his dantian.

Originally, Song Qingming thought that his cultivation had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, so even if this technique was difficult, practicing it should not be as difficult as before.

Unexpectedly, after trying it for a while, he realized that this "Tongtian Wanling Jue" was not as simple as he thought, and he had to proceed step by step.

If Song Qingming wants to practice this technique to perfection and achieve the desired effect, he will probably need to spend a lot of time.

However, as he was able to persevere step by step and successfully cultivate the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" to the Golden Core Realm, Song Qingming had already been mentally prepared for this.

No matter how difficult the future may be, he will not give up easily and will continue to practice this technique until he achieves his goal.

Fortunately, there are still more than a hundred years before the next opening of the "Tower of Babel", so Song Qingming does not need to be too anxious about it.

When the "Tower of Babel" is opened next time, as long as I can successfully practice this technique to the late stage of Golden Elixir, "Xuantian" should not be too disappointed in me.

After putting away his own magic power, Song Qingming stood up and walked to the outer hall of the retreat cave.

At this time, a blue figure on the other side of the hall had sensed that he had come out of seclusion and quickly ran towards Song Qingming.

"Xiao Jin respectfully welcomes the master out of retreat, and congratulates the master on his great accomplishment!"

Looking at the slightly flattering "Ice and Fire Dragon" in front of him, Song Qingming smiled and nodded, praising him:

"Well! You are not bad either. You have reached the second level of the Golden Core so quickly. It seems that your cultivation speed is indeed much faster than I thought."

"Haha! It's not because of the master's cultivation that Xiao Jin can cultivate so fast. It's all thanks to the master's support."

Hearing Song Qingming's words, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" suddenly showed a bit of joy on his face, and he quickly spoke a few humble words.

As a spiritual beast, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" has only followed Song Qingming for more than a hundred years and has successfully advanced to the Golden Core Realm.

This time, during Song Qingming's retreat, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" broke through again and successfully advanced to the second level of Golden Core. The speed of cultivation was indeed beyond Song Qingming's expectations.

However, the reason why the "Ice and Fire Dragon" can cultivate so quickly is not only because of its outstanding bloodline, but also because of the full support of its master Song Qingming.

Over the years, "Ice and Fire Dragon" has been following Song Qingming, and he has almost never lacked elixirs and spiritual objects.

In addition, he swallowed a lot of "All-Spirit Dew", which made his physical physique much stronger and helped him increase his magic power a lot.

"Ice and Fire Dragon" was very aware of this and did not dare to take credit in front of Song Qingming. As soon as he heard the other party's praise, he quickly took back the credit.

Seeing that this guy had become much more modest in recent years, except for being greedy, Song Qingming nodded with great satisfaction, and then took another look at the cave and continued to ask:

"How have Jin Feng and the others been doing in their cultivation over the past few years? Have you helped them replenish their spirit stones and elixirs?"

"Reporting to the master, Jin Feng and Yin Jia are still practicing in their retreat room.

After I achieved a breakthrough in my cultivation, I stopped staying in seclusion there. But don’t worry, master, Xiao Jin still helps them replenish spirit stones and pills on time.

As for those golden fantasy butterflies, I also fed them elixirs and spirit beast pills on time.

It's just that these guys eat too much, and there are more and more of them. Recently, there are not many spirit beast pills in stock in the warehouse. I can only reduce the amount, and as a result, they become unhappy.

Master, if you don't come out, I'm afraid these guys will rebel!"

In addition to its own cultivation becoming much stronger, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" has indeed become much more intelligent than ordinary monsters in recent years since it broke through to the Golden Core Realm.

In addition to daily practice, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" has now become a capable assistant to Song Qingming. While he is not practicing on his own, he will help his master take care of some trivial matters in the cave.

For this reason, Song Qingming also gave him a convenient name, "Xiao Jin".

Although it is a bit rustic, it is just a name he uses occasionally, and Song Qingming feels that it is fine as it is convenient.

Before Song Qingming went into seclusion, he instructed "Xiao Jin" to take good care of "Golden Wind", "Silver Armor" and "Golden Illusion Butterfly" who were practicing in seclusion.

A few years passed, and seeing that the cave was still in order, Song Qingming showed a look of satisfaction on his face.

After listening to the patient report of "Ice and Fire Dragon", Song Qingming nodded slightly, took out a golden pill from his storage bag and threw it directly to him.

"Thank you, Master!"

Seeing the golden pill in Song Qingming's hand, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" immediately showed a look of joy in its eyes. After taking the pill, it quickly swallowed it into its stomach with a happy look on its face.

After rewarding the "Ice and Fire Dragon", Song Qingming turned around and came to the spirit insect room where many "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" were placed.

As soon as he came in, Song Qingming saw thousands of densely packed insects rushing towards him and soon surrounded him tightly.

Seeing this, Song Qingming hurriedly took out a bottle of "Spirit Beast Pills" which was specially used to feed spirit insects. This attracted the attention of many "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" and led them aside.

In recent years, as the breeding technology has become more and more mature, the number of "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" following Song Qingming has also increased exponentially. Now there are already thousands of them, which is more than ten times the number when Song Qingming just formed the Dan.

Moreover, after Song Qingming fed them a large amount of "Wanling Dew", many of these spirit insects have advanced to the Golden Core realm, and their power has also increased a lot compared to before.

Although the highest level of these "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" can only reach the late Jindan realm, their frontal combat capabilities are not very strong and they can only deal with some Jindan cultivators.

However, because his own magical power of illusion was very powerful, he had helped Song Qingming to restrain those powerful opponents many times, and finally saved him from danger.

Moreover, these "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" can also be used for exploration, monitoring opponents, etc., which are very useful to Song Qingming.

However, Song Qingming currently does not have a higher level method to cultivate spiritual insects, and cannot cultivate these "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" to a higher level. Otherwise, the combat effectiveness of these spiritual insects could be greatly improved.

If all these "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" in the stone chamber could be trained and advanced to level four, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would have a headache facing them.

Although these are what Song Qingming wants to do, it will take time to accumulate and change slowly. He can only wait and see if he has the chance in the future.

After checking the condition of the spiritual insects in the cave and seeing that there was no major problem, Song Qingming walked out with peace of mind. He turned around and came to another retreat stone chamber with richer spiritual energy not far away.

This stone chamber was specially reserved by Song Qingming for "Golden Wind", "Silver Armor" and "Ice and Fire Dragon" to use in seclusion. A high-level "Spirit Gathering Array" was also specially arranged in the stone chamber.

After so many years of continuous practice, the cultivation of "Golden Wind" and "Silver Armor" has also improved a lot, reaching the peak of the sixth level of Golden Core and the fourth level of Golden Core respectively.

As "corpse puppets" that can continuously improve their cultivation, Song Qingming also spent a lot of spiritual objects and spiritual stones on the two of them to provide them with cultivation.

Except when they went out on weekdays, Song Qingming would basically let them practice in seclusion here and did not intentionally slow down their practice speed.

Although he has already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, it seems that on the surface the benefits of spending so much effort to cultivate these two Jindan "corpse puppets" will not be that great.

But because Song Qingming possessed the "Ten Thousand Spirits Puppet Array", both the "Golden Wind" and "Silver Armor" of the Jindan period and the "Puppet Beasts" of a lower level on him were very useful to Song Qingming.

After Qu Bai's instruction, Song Qingming, who obtained the "Heavenly Heart Divine Art", significantly strengthened his control over his own spiritual consciousness. He could now perfectly control six puppets on his body at the same time to form the "Ten Thousand Spirits Puppet Array".

Not only that, Song Qingming also created a new set of runes in the process of practicing the fusion of the puppet formation.

This set of runes can help him leverage the power of the formation to temporarily increase his mana by about twice and strengthen his own strength.

However, the time is limited. At present, Song Qingming can only hold on for about an hour. After that, the power of the formation will return to normal, and the magic power that Song Qingming forcibly absorbed into his body will dissipate directly.

The reason why Song Qingming was able to defeat the "Golden Horned Demon King" who had formed an infant earlier than him alone in the previous battle to the south to retake Pei State was because of his

In addition to his numerous high-level magical weapons, his most relied upon is his biggest trump card, the "Ten Thousand Spirits Puppet Array".

It was precisely because of the blessing of this puppet formation that Song Qingming was able to temporarily increase his strength and directly defeat the "Golden Horned Demon King" who had a similar level of cultivation as him on the front battlefield.

Afterwards, Bai Yuxian and Li Mufeng specifically consulted Song Qingming about this.

However, Song Qingming did not reveal too many details about his most important trump card. He only attributed the defeat of the "Golden Horned Demon King" mainly to the opponent's carelessness and underestimation of the enemy.

Li Mufeng and Bai Yuxian didn't say much about this.

After all, Song Qingming had just formed his Nascent Soul at that time, so it was not surprising that the "Golden Horned Demon King" did not take him seriously when he faced him.

Regardless of whether there was anything wrong with what Song Qingming said, for them, the best thing would be to defeat the "Golden Horned Demon King" and rescue them.

Whether other things are true or false seems less important than the results.

However, although Song Qingming's ability to control the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Array" has greatly increased, the number and strength of the puppets on his body are still too small, and the improvement in his strength has not yet reached its limit.

Today, Song Qingming can only defeat opponents of the same level who have just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, such as the "Golden Horned Demon King".

If the opponent was a powerful Nascent Soul Demon King like the "Black Dragon Demon King", Song Qingming would probably be far from being his opponent now, and it would be difficult for him to restrain him.

If he wants to further improve his strength, in addition to practicing hard on his own, Song Qingming must work harder on the number and quality of his puppets in the future.

However, Song Qingming's "puppet skills" are still at the upper level of the second level, and he is temporarily unable to refine a third-level puppet beast of the Jindan period.

Moreover, the materials for refining high-level "puppet beasts" are also in short supply in Weiguo.

Song Qingming has only collected a few copies so far, but they were all damaged in his hands, and he failed to successfully refine the Jindan-stage "puppet beast".

Even though he had the incomplete map in his hand and his own cultivation had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, Song Qingming learned the "immortal cultivation skills" several times faster than others.

It’s just due to the lack of materials and the fact that his own talent is not that strong.

When Song Qingming was learning the low-level "puppet skills" before, it was much easier to improve, but when it came time to advance to the third level, he still clearly felt that the difficulty had suddenly increased a lot.

Now, although Song Qingming is very eager to improve his "puppet skills" and refine more high-level "puppet beasts" to enrich his own strength.

But it is obviously useless to rush about all this, we need to slowly find ways to improve later.

After checking the situation in the cave, Song Qingming put it down and returned to the hall.

He also explained in detail to "Xiao Jin" who had just swallowed the elixir, then opened the large formation restriction in his cave and walked out with confidence.

After Song Qingming came out of seclusion, he did not see Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan coming to greet him. Instead, Song Yuanhao arrived at the top of the mountain one step ahead and waited patiently by the side.

Seeing Song Qingming just appear, Song Yuanhao hurriedly took a step forward with a happy look on his face and bowed to him respectfully.

"Yuan Hao, meet your seventh uncle!

Congratulations to Uncle Seven for achieving great success in his cultivation and making further progress. "

Seeing this, Song Qingming nodded slightly, waved his hand quickly, and asked directly:

"Are Siyuan and Qingyu still in seclusion?"

"Reporting to Seventh Uncle, during the past few years that you have been in seclusion, the two ancestors have also been practicing in the mountains, and they are still in seclusion now.

In recent years, nothing major has happened around the family.

Only half a year ago, the sect sent us a letter and asked us to pass it on to Uncle Seventh."

"What's the letter? Bring it to me!"

Upon hearing that there was a letter from the sect, Song Qingming hurriedly asked Song Yuanhao to take out the letter, but he was told that the letter had already been in Huang Siyuan's hands.

Seeing this, Song Qingming nodded slightly and immediately came to the outside of Huang Siyuan's cave.

Not long after, Huang Siyuan, who was in seclusion, received the warning and immediately came out to Song Qingming and handed the letter directly to Song Qingming.

“Husband, I have read this letter before. It was sent by Senior Sister Bai from the sect. She wanted to ask if you want to go.

You were in seclusion at that time, and I saw that you couldn't come out for a while, so I took the initiative to reply to their message directly.

Later, when I went to the sect to help Senior Brother Chu refine the elixir, I heard them say that it seemed that Senior Sister Bai had gone to Qin State. "

"Oh! Senior Sister Bai went to Qin State. What's the situation now?" (End of this chapter)
