Qinghe Immortal Clan

Qinghe County, in Huixian Pavilion on the top of Funiu Mountain.

Huang Siyuan, dressed in white, was holding a volume of The Classic of Tea in her hands, reading it carefully and earnestly.

After carefully reading the secret methods in the Tea Classic, Huang Siyuan put away the book in her hand, raised her jade hand lightly, and the teapot in front of her immediately flew up from the table to her.

The next moment, Huang Siyuan pinched two fingers of her hand, and a ball of red flame instantly appeared on her hand. Then, under her control, it turned into a fire dragon and wrapped around the teapot.

The water boils, the tea falls, and a fragrance instantly overflows from the teapot.

Soon, Huang Siyuan had a cup of fragrant spiritual tea in her hand.

After taking a sip, Huang Siyuan remained silent for a moment, then shook her head slightly, as if she was not very satisfied with the taste of the spiritual tea she had just brewed.

Just as Huang Siyuan raised her hand and wanted to try to brew spiritual tea again, a wave of spiritual light suddenly came from below the "Huixian Pavilion".

The next moment, a voice came to Huang Siyuan.

Looking at the talisman in front of her, Huang Siyuan sighed slightly and quickly took the talisman in her hands.

Half a minute later, Song Yuanhao brought the middle-aged man to Huang Siyuan.

Although the middle-aged man was well-groomed, the obvious white hair on his forehead could not be concealed, revealing his vicissitudes of life.

The middle-aged man who came with Song Yuanhao was Huang Mengde, the current patriarch of the Huang family in Taiyuan Mountain, Qinghe County.

Huang Mengde is a cultivator of about the same generation as Song Yuanli. He is much older than Song Yuanhao and is now nearly two hundred years old.

This is considered a relatively old age among foundation-building cultivators. If Huang Mengde cannot form a golden elixir, he will only have a few decades left.

As soon as he saw Huang Siyuan sitting quietly in front of him, the middle-aged man hurried forward, knelt down on the ground, and bowed to her with a respectful face.

"Meng De, meet your great aunt!"

Seeing this, Huang Siyuan first waved her hand, signaling Huang Mengde to stand up first, then turned to Song Yuanhao and said:

"Yuan Hao, I'm here to talk to Meng De. Nothing else. You go ahead and do your work first!"

After Song Yuanhao left, Huang Siyuan turned to Huang Mengde and asked softly:

"As the head of your clan, why don't you stay at home and practice hard? Why did you think of coming to Funiushan today?"

"Haha! Don't blame me, ancestor.

When my nineteenth uncle was still alive, he often taught me and others that we must not forget the kindness our great aunt had shown to the family!

Before he left, he specifically told me to come to Funiushan more often when I have time. Meng De came this time just to bring you some specialties from Taiyuan Mountain."

After Huang Mengde finished speaking, a flash of inspiration came into his hands and he took out seven or eight spiritual objects that he had prepared long ago, and carefully placed them in front of Huang Siyuan.

"Oh! You have sent many things to Funiushan Mountain over the years. Why did you bother to come in person this time? You are really thoughtful."

Ever since Huang Siyuan returned from successfully building her foundation, the Huang family of "Taiyuan Mountain" has regretted the marriage that year and has been trying to ease the relationship with Huang Siyuan.

Especially after Huang Sibo, the new head of the Huang family, came to power, the Huang family of "Taiyuan Mountain" sent people to "Funiu Mountain" every year to give Huang Siyuan various specialties and spiritual objects that she liked.

However, in the past, it was basically other cultivators from the Huang family who delivered these things, but this time it was the clan leader Huang Mengde who came in person, which made Huang Siyuan's face slightly more surprised.

Seeing the many spiritual objects that Huang Mengde took out, Huang Siyuan nodded slightly and was about to put them all away.

But when her eyes swept over one of the spiritual objects again, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in her eyes. She couldn't help but put down the hand she had just raised and looked at Huang Mengde again.

"Where did you get this thing? Did you send it to the wrong place?"

Seeing the direction of Huang Siyuan's finger, a fiery red third-level spiritual medicine was emitting bursts of spiritual light. Huang Mengde hurriedly stepped forward and explained to Huang Siyuan:

“Grandma has misunderstood. This magical medicine and other things are actually produced in our Taiyuan Mountain. I didn’t get them from outside.

There is no high-level alchemist in the family now. I am afraid that if I leave this spiritual medicine on the mountain after it matures, it will attract bad guys to covet it, so I just take it all and present it to my great-aunt today."

"I don't need this third-level spiritual medicine, why are you giving it to me?

If you have this magical medicine, you can present it directly to Xiaoyao Sect. Maybe you can exchange it for a Jade Dust Pill. There's no need to waste it on me.

Are you here today to ask me for something else?

If you have anything to say, just say it now, don't beat around the bush with me!"

Seeing Huang Siyuan staring at him with a puzzled look, Huang Mengde thought for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and knelt down on the ground.

"Grand aunt, this time, besides visiting you, I also want to ask for something from you. I hope you can grant me something."

"Alright, alright! If you have anything to say, please get up and say it.

Over the years, I have done a lot for you, and you are afraid that I won't listen to me.

Ever since Song Qingming broke through the Golden Core stage and the Song family became a Golden Core family, all the major immortal cultivation families in "Qinghe County" have been following closely behind the Song family and have been living a good life.

Except for a few immortal cultivation families like the "Lu Family" of Tiexian Mountain in the past, which declined and died out normally due to the lack of foundation-building cultivators.

Others like the Huang family of "Taiyuan Mountain", the Gao family of "Lianhua Mountain", the Li family of "Cuilong Mountain", etc. have all achieved a certain degree of development and are much stronger than they were two hundred years ago.

The Huang family of "Taiyuan Mountain" where Huang Mengde is located now has seven foundation-building cultivators, and the number of Qi-refining cultivators has increased by several times compared to before. Their strength has far exceeded that of the era when Huang Shengxin was there.

This naturally includes Huang Siyuan, the ancestor of "Funiu Mountain", who secretly cares for her former mother's family.

However, although Huang Siyuan still cherished some old feelings in her heart, she still kept a distance from the Huang family. Except for Huang Mengde, the head of the Huang family, other Huang family cultivators rarely had the opportunity to meet her.

"How dare Meng De forget the kindness that my great aunt has shown me to my nephew? If you hadn't spoken up to help us, Xiuning and I would never have been together.

If it weren't absolutely necessary, I, as your nephew, wouldn't dare to come and disturb my great aunt today.

Now that the demon beasts are about to cause chaos, I would like to ask my aunt to give me an external elixir to help me make one last attempt at the Golden Elixir Path, so that I can help protect the family in the future."

Seeing that Huang Siyuan was a little unhappy when she heard what he asked for, Huang Mengde didn't dare to say much and immediately stated the purpose of his visit.

Upon hearing this, Huang Siyuan's face showed surprise, and she couldn't help but look at Huang Mengde with a serious look.

"External elixir? You want to go the fake elixir route!"

Although Huang Mengde is also a cultivator with dual spiritual roots, his talent for cultivation is not much worse than Huang Shengxin's back then, and he had already cultivated to the ninth level of foundation building.

However, as a cultivator from a foundation-building family, Huang Mengde could not rely on his elders to easily collect better five-element elixir-forming spiritual objects like Song Yuanhao and others.

He could only use the second-rate spiritual object "Jade Dust Pill" to reach the Golden Core Realm, just like his family's ancestor did.

As a result, Huang Mengde was the same as Huang Shengxin. Although he tried to reach the Golden Core realm twice, he failed without exception and was unable to successfully form a golden core.

Huang Mengde is now nearly two hundred years old. Although theoretically there is still a possibility of forming a pill, Huang Mengde knows in his heart that it is unlikely that he will be able to form a pill normally in this lifetime.

Therefore, he came up with an idea in his mind. He wanted to be like Zhang Rong of "Tuoyun Mountain" back then and use the inner elixir of monsters to reach the golden elixir realm and become a fake elixir cultivator.

After the battle of "White Dragon Valley" a few years ago, Song Qingming obtained several demon kings' inner cores by killing several demon kings. Two of them were given to Huang Siyuan, asking her to use them for alchemy in the future.

No one knew where Huang Mengde got the news, but he brought the spiritual object directly to Huang Siyuan, wanting to exchange it for a demon king's inner elixir from her.

After knowing what Huang Mengde wanted, Huang Siyuan paced for a while before turning around and slowly asking him:

“The fake elixir is not the real golden elixir. You have been practicing for so many years. I think you should know this even if I don’t explain it.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, once you take this path, there will be no other way out in the future.

Although you don't have much time left to live, it doesn't mean that there is no hope for you to form a pill. Are you really determined to take this path?"

Facing Huang Siyuan's serious question, Huang Mengde answered with a firm look:

"Grandma, I've already thought about all these nephews and grandchildren you mentioned!

I know that the way of fake elixir is not so easy to follow.

But for someone like me who has no hope of forming a pill, this may be the last path I can choose.

Before coming here, I had already visited Senior Sun at Tuoyun Mountain, and learned some things about Danjie from him, so I felt somewhat confident about it.

At home, Xiuning and I have already discussed this, and the other elders in the family have no objection to this."

"So you're all ready!"

"This is the spiritual stone that the family uses to exchange for the outer elixir. I hope that my great aunt can help my nephew. We will find a way to slowly make up for the remaining shortage in the future."

After Huang Mengde finished speaking, he took out a storage bag full of spirit stones from his body and handed it to Huang Siyuan.

There are more than 20,000 pieces in total.

Looking at Huang Mengde, whose eyes were very determined, Huang Siyuan sighed slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded slightly.

"After all, this is your own business. Since you have made up your mind, I won't stop you.

As for refining external elixirs, I can help you do it directly. It won’t take much time.

Please take the spirit stones back first. When the elixir is ready, I will send someone to inform you. Then you can bring the spirit stones back here to get them!

If you change your mind, don't worry, just let me know."

"Thank you, great aunt, for your help!"

When Huang Mengde heard that Huang Siyuan agreed to his request, his face suddenly lit up and he quickly knelt down to thank her again.

After seeing Huang Mengde off, Huang Siyuan put away the tea set on the table and walked out of the "Huixian Pavilion", wanting to go to the family's "Alchemy Pavilion" at the foot of the mountain.

But just when they were halfway there, Huang Siyuan suddenly felt a fluctuation of spiritual energy not far from the top of the mountain. When she looked up, a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

When Huang Siyuan flew to the top of the mountain, she saw a figure in green who had already arrived here and was staring at the colorful glow in the sky not far away.

"Qingyu! Why are you here? I thought you had a breakthrough in your cultivation."

Ever since the battle in "White Dragon Valley" a few years ago, Song Qingyu has been practicing in seclusion in his family and has hardly left the cave.

When Huang Siyuan saw the sudden strange phenomenon on the top of the mountain, she thought that Song Qingyu was trying to break through the bottleneck of her cultivation, but she didn't expect to see her outside the cave.

Upon hearing this, Song Qingyu immediately shook his head and said:

"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. My cultivation has not yet reached a bottleneck, so how can I break through so quickly?

The one who is making the breakthrough this time is not me, but Senior Sister Li!"

"It turned out to be Senior Sister Li!"

Turning her gaze to the cave below the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth, Huang Siyuan immediately reacted and nodded with a smile to Song Qingyu beside her.

"I didn't expect Senior Sister Li to advance to the ninth level of the Golden Core so soon. It seems that she, like my husband, will definitely have the hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage in the future."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

“Senior Sister Li’s cultivation method is the same as that of Brother Seven, both of which were passed down from ancient great sects. It is not surprising that she can cultivate so quickly.

However, the path to breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage ultimately depends on one's personal chance.

It was his own chance that Seventh Brother was able to successfully form a baby, but it is hard to say who among us will be able to reach this step in the future.

Even though Senior Sister Li is one step ahead of us in cultivation, maybe when the opportunity comes in the future, Sister-in-law will be able to form a baby even faster than Senior Sister."

"Haha! Qingyu, you are really good at talking now, and your words are becoming sweeter and sweeter.

However, I am not a three-year-old child. After hearing your two sentences, I really believe that I can form a Nascent Soul in the future.

You also know that breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage depends on personal opportunity. In this regard, I am far inferior to you and Senior Sister Li.

Now I'd better think about how to break through the late Jindan stage. As for the Yuanying stage in the future, we'll talk about it when we have the chance!"

Since breaking through the sixth level of Jindan, Huang Siyuan has faced the bottleneck of the late Jindan stage in recent years. She has tried several times and succeeded every time. She also realized the difficulty of her own cultivation realm.

Since she established her foundation, Huang Siyuan has been able to practice all the way to the present. In fact, it is more because of the abundant resources. She also knows that her own talent is not as good as Song Qingming and others.

Hearing Song Qingyu's flattery at this moment, Huang Siyuan smiled, but shook her head helplessly.

Hearing this, Song Qingyu wanted to continue responding.

But at this moment, Song Qingyu suddenly turned his head and saw a beam of light not far away outside the mountain, rushing towards the location of "Funiu Mountain"

"Hey! Who's here?"

Hearing the doubt in Song Qingyu's mouth, Huang Siyuan quickly looked over and saw that the person who came seemed to have a high level of cultivation, and there was also a bit of doubt on his face.

Now is the critical moment for Senior Sister Li Xuanyi to break through. At this time, a master happened to come to "Funiu Mountain", so Huang Siyuan and the others naturally became a little nervous.

"Qingyu, you stay here to protect Senior Sister Li first, I'll go out and check the situation.

If anything goes wrong, immediately notify Yuan Hao and the others to activate the mountain protection formation, and do not let anyone disturb Senior Sister Li's retreat and breakthrough."

After giving Song Qingyu a word of instruction, Huang Siyuan hurriedly flew out of the formation, took out the magic weapon on her body, and took the initiative to block the escaping light in front of her.

Just as Huang Siyuan was staring at the distance with a nervous look on her face, a voice transmission had already flown out from the escaping light.

Soon, the green light arrived not far in front of Huang Siyuan and transformed into a person who was very familiar to her.

"Husband! So it's you who's back."

When Huang Siyuan confirmed that the person coming was Song Qingming who had left not long ago, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on her face. She took the initiative to put away the magic weapon beside her and quickly moved towards him.

Seeing how nervous Huang Siyuan was just now when she saw him, Song Qingming nodded slightly, then asked with some doubt:

"Siyuan, did anything happen at home?"

"My husband, you really came back at a good time. Just now, someone on the mountain had a breakthrough. When we saw you come back, Qingyu and I were afraid that someone would come to cause trouble at this time!"

"Oh! This is really a happy event. I wonder whose cultivation has improved again?"

"Husband, just follow me and you will know!"

Huang Siyuan smiled mysteriously, and quickly led Song Qingming through the "Mountain Protection Array" and returned to the top of "Funiu Mountain" together.

"Seventh Brother! Why is it you?

Last time I heard you say you were going to Qin, I thought it would take a long time for you to come back!"

Seeing that it was his seventh brother Song Qingming who came outside, Song Qingyu's originally nervous expression immediately relaxed, and he hurriedly took the initiative to step forward and greet Song Qingming.

After standing there and talking for a while, Song Qingming and the other two returned to the cave where their senior sister Li Xuanyi was in seclusion.

Upon learning that it was Senior Sister Li Xuanyi who was making a breakthrough, Song Qingming, who had just rushed back, was somewhat happy for her.

After the three of them waited there for half a day, the "strange phenomenon of heaven and earth" in the sky slowly dissipated.

Not long after, Li Xuanyi, dressed in white, appeared at the entrance of the cave.

Looking at Li Xuanyi in front of them, their cultivation had obviously improved compared to before the retreat. Song Qingming and Song Qingyu and others beside him hurriedly smiled and took the initiative to greet him.

"Congratulations to Senior Sister Li for her improvement!"

Hearing the congratulations from Song Qingming and the other two, Li Xuanyi's face was immediately filled with smiles, and he quickly bowed and greeted them in return.

“Thank you, Junior Brother Song, Qingyu, and Siyuan!

It is not easy to find a quiet place to practice when you are away from home. I was able to break through so smoothly this time, thanks to your care.

Everyone, please accept Xuan Yi’s greetings. "

Seeing senior sister Li Xuanyi, she bowed towards him with gratitude.

Song Qingming hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to help him up.

"You're welcome, Senior Sister!"

"Senior Sister Li, you are our Song family's great benefactor. If you are so polite, you are treating us as outsiders.

It is a rare occasion that Seventh Brother came back today, and Senior Sister also made a breakthrough. It is truly a double happiness.

I think we should go to Huixian Pavilion to celebrate first, and then we can chat slowly!"

Hearing Song Qingyu's suggestion, Huang Siyuan also nodded with a smile on her face:

"Yes! Qingyu is right, we should celebrate properly.

Everyone, please move to Huixian Pavilion first. I will ask Yuan Fang and the others to prepare a banquet and send it over in a moment."

After saying that, Huang Siyuan smiled and left first, walking down the mountain. Song Qingyu and Song Qingming stepped forward and took the initiative to invite them, and soon brought their senior sister Li Xuanyi to the third floor of "Huixian Pavilion".

Ever since Song Qingming formed his infant, the few of them had to practice in seclusion for a long time, often staying in their own caves, and it was rare for them to have the opportunity to get together.

This time they all happened to have some free time, so they naturally did not miss this opportunity. They raised their glasses to drink and tasted the delicious spiritual food cooked by Huang Siyuan herself.

During this period, Song Qingming also briefly informed Song Qingyu and the others about his trip to Qin State.

Just because he didn't want them to worry, Song Qingming didn't describe the process as too dangerous.

Upon hearing that Song Qingming and his team had actually killed the "Blood Demon Ancestor" this time, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan were very happy and couldn't help but raise their glasses to celebrate.

Before, because Song Qingming had accidentally provoked the "Blood Demon Ancestor", Song Qingyu and Song Qingming had always felt uneasy.

Including the last time when the demon cultivators attacked, they were extremely worried, fearing that the old demon "Blood Demon Ancestor" would come to their door at any time.

Seeing that Song Qingming and the others had finally solved the problem, the two of them were finally able to put their worries aside a little.

After three rounds of drinks, Li Xuanyi suddenly raised his glass to Song Qingming and the other two.

"Junior Brother Song, after I break through this realm, I plan to go out and travel, and I may leave soon.

I would like to take this opportunity today to say goodbye to you.

Otherwise, you will all be in seclusion later and I won’t be able to say goodbye in person.”

"Oh! If Senior Sister wants to go out for a walk, that's fine.

I wonder where you want to go, Senior Sister Li, and when will you be back?"

When Song Qingming heard that his senior sister Li Xuanyi was going out for a trip, he didn't think much about it and just smiled and nodded to her.

Hearing this, Li Xuanyi shook his head and replied: "I want to go to Leiyuan Sea for a walk, and it will probably take a long time before I come back.

Junior Brother Song, rest assured, I will be careful and try to come back as soon as possible.

I think more than ten years should be enough. By then, if the monsters start to cause chaos, I should be able to rush back and help you."

"Well! Then congratulations to Senior Sister Li for returning soon!"

Now that Song Qingming's cultivation has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, the situation in Wei State is no longer the same as before. Song Qingming and his companions are no longer so worried about the "monster riot" that occurs once every hundred years.

Song Qingming didn't care whether Li Xuanyi could come back to help.

In fact, he was more worried about the safety of his senior sister Li Xuanyi.

The four of them drank wine and chatted all night long until dawn, when Li Xuanyi said goodbye and left, returning to the cave to stabilize his cultivation.

Song Qingming also returned to his cave, closed the door, took out a storage bag, and poured out a bunch of spiritual objects and materials. (End of this chapter)
