Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Several months later, "Lei Yuanhai" was in the northwest.

"Golden Moon Island" is located on the northwestern edge of the Lei Yuan Sea cultivation world. It is a relatively rare large island where independent cultivators gather.

This island is home to tens of thousands of independent cultivators from all over the world, as well as many fleets that like to go to the depths of the open sea to hunt demons and choose to stop here for supplies.

In the cultivation world of "Lei Yuan Hai", any island with a spiritual vein of level four or above is basically occupied by major sects or cultivation families.

Although there is a mid-grade level 4 spiritual vein on "Golden Moon Island", this place does not belong to any sect or family power.

What's somewhat strange is that this is a large island that gathers tens of thousands of independent cultivators, and where cultivators come and go every day.

Golden Moon Island doesn't have many cultivators responsible for guarding it, nor is it as heavily guarded as other similar islands nearby. Even the island's defensive array is rarely activated.

But this is an island that is not particularly strictly managed and has weak defenses.

For hundreds of years, there has been almost no unrest or attack from other forces, which makes people feel inexplicably safe.

The island is managed by a large restaurant called "Phantom Moon Pavilion".

Those who wish to remain on the island or open a shop in the market must first register at the "Illusion Moon Pavilion".

Only after obtaining their approval documents can one receive the restriction tokens for their respective cave dwellings and shops.

In addition to managing the island, "Illusory Moon Pavilion" also provides services such as banquets and lodging for visiting cultivators.

Moreover, inside the restaurant, there were storytelling and opera performances unique to Lei Yuanhai's area, and even some beautiful female cultivators performing songs and dances.

At this moment, in a private room on the third floor of the "Illusion Moon Pavilion", Song Qingming, Li Xuanyi and the other two were sitting in front of a table of wine and enjoying the performance of the musicians below.

On the stage to the side, there were seven or eight female cultivators in the Qi Refining stage wearing veils, swaying their slender bodies to the rhythm of musical instruments.

Her movements were graceful and delicate, like flowing clouds and running water.

Every now and then, it would draw cheers from the many independent cultivators below the stage.

"Senior Sister Li, I didn't expect Lei Yuanhai's restaurant to be so versatile. No wonder it attracts so many cultivators to dine here."

Our markets and towns in the Floating Cloud Mountains are far more monotonous compared to this.

"Fine wine and beautiful women are what these male cultivators like the most; it's the same everywhere in the cultivation world."

Qingyu, if you think it's good, you can let Yurong and the others learn from it when you get back to the market.

It will definitely attract many cultivators who like it, earning more spirit stones for the market.

"My husband, don't you think so?"

"what!"

"If you're interested, then give it a try. There's no need to ask me about this kind of thing."

Song Qingming, who was still savoring the food on the table, suddenly heard Li Xuanyi ask him a question, so he quickly put down his chopsticks and replied.

"Are we the only ones interested? Wouldn't you, my husband, like to have more songs and dances to entertain us when we enjoy wine and meals in the future?"

"We cultivators should prioritize cultivation; why should we be overly concerned with the fleeting pleasures of wine, women, wealth, and power?"

After Song Qingming finished speaking, under the curious gazes of the two women, he sat up straight and looked confidently at the audience.

".."

"Seventh Brother, I already asked when I came in. The manager of Illusion Moon Pavilion is just a female cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage. It seems there are no cultivators above the Golden Core stage in this restaurant."

"Do you think we should just go find them directly?"

Upon hearing Song Qingyu's suggestion, Song Qingming remained silent for a moment before gently shaking his head.

"The fact that the Illusion Moon Pavilion can manage the vast Golden Moon Island so well means that the people behind them are definitely not simple."

We've only just arrived, let's not rush things. Let's find out what's going on first.

"My husband."

Just as Li Xuanyi was about to say something, her expression suddenly changed and she stopped speaking.

At the same time, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, who were standing nearby, also sensed the people coming from outside and turned their gazes toward the door of the private room.

A short while later, a crisp knock came from the door.

"May I ask, fellow Daoists, if it would be convenient for me to come in?"

"come in!"

As soon as the door opened, a rich aroma filled the private room.

Immediately afterwards, a figure in purple robes pushed open the door and entered, taking the initiative to stand in front of Song Qingming and the other two.

The woman in purple wore a very tight-fitting palace robe, which accentuated her alluring and mature figure. Between her brows was a passionate and beautiful face.

The woman in purple entered, glanced at the three of them, and quickly greeted Song Qingming with a smile and a bow.

"I am Yan Yue, the manager of the Illusion Moon Pavilion. I greet you three fellow Daoists!"

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yan Yue. May I ask what brings you here?"

Hearing Song Qingming's somewhat curious question, Yan Yue smiled slightly before replying, "I heard from the waiters downstairs that some new guests have arrived on the third floor."

The shopkeeper instructed me to come and take a look.

"I wonder if you gentlemen have just arrived on Golden Moon Island? Is there anything I can help you with, or if you would like to stay here permanently?"

"Fellow Daoist Yan, you are too kind. My sister and I are also rogue cultivators. We have long heard of the fame of Golden Moon Island and came here specifically to see it. We do not currently plan to stay here for long."

"Oh I got it."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yue nodded slightly, then smiled and continued speaking to Song Qingming:

"Golden Moon Island warmly welcomes independent cultivators from outside the island. If you fellow cultivators change your minds, you are welcome to come to our pavilion at any time to change your registration procedures."

"There's nothing else, so I won't bother you any longer!"

After saying this, Yan Yue bowed and took her leave. Before leaving, she glanced at Song Qingming in front of her with a slightly puzzled look in her eyes.

Only after the other party left did Song Qingyu speak with a hint of disdain:

"Seventh Brother, what did that little vixen mean just now? Did she figure out who we are?"

"She's only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, how could she possibly discern our cultivation levels? She's probably just here to test us."

If even an ordinary manager of the Illusion Moon Pavilion possesses such cultivation, the person behind him must be at a level no lower than ours.

It seems we came to the right place this time.

When the woman in purple entered the private room, she intentionally used magic to display her cultivation level as the early Foundation Establishment stage.

However, this little trick could not fool Song Qingming and his companions. They immediately saw through the other party's true cultivation level, which had reached the Golden Core realm.

The woman in purple not only deliberately concealed her cultivation level, but also secretly used a seductive technique on Song Qingming while speaking, seemingly trying to extract information from them.

Unfortunately, her skill in cultivating seductive arts was still far from perfect, and it had no effect on Song Qingming and the other two at all.

Seeing that Song Qingming responded fluently without revealing any information, the woman in purple did not linger and quickly withdrew on her own.

However, her actions gave Song Qingming a little more confidence in his trip.

It seems that the person behind the "Illusion Moon Pavilion" is no ordinary person; at the very least, they should be a Nascent Soul cultivator with profound cultivation.

After saying that, Song Qingming got up and led Song Qingyu and the other person out of the private room.

".."

In a cave atop Golden Moon Island, Yan Yue stood respectfully before a veiled woman in yellow, and replied:

"Reporting to Martial Uncle, three new guests have just arrived at the Illusion Moon Pavilion. Senior Sister Yuan found them unfamiliar and suspicious, so she asked me to investigate them."

As a result, the disciples did not glean any information from them.

One of the men, surnamed Song, seemed to have cultivated some powerful spiritual techniques, as he was not affected by my techniques.

Senior Sister Yuan felt that these people were not ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators; they must have some kind of background.

He specifically sent his disciple to report to his master.

"I understand, you can go back now!"

As soon as Yan Yue finished speaking, the woman in yellow waved to her and immediately bowed and left the room.

".."

After the person in front of her left, two more figures appeared not far behind the woman in yellow.

"Although Yan Yue's seductive arts have not yet been fully mastered, it would be difficult for cultivators below the Golden Core stage to remain unaffected. Judging from this person's appearance, her cultivation level is not simple."

They probably already saw through her actions, but just didn't expose her on purpose!

"If that's what you're saying, Senior Sister, does that mean this person is also a Nascent Soul cultivator hiding their true strength? Should we take action and drive them out?"

"I'm just guessing; there's no need to speculate right now."

Even if he really is a Nascent Soul cultivator, we still don't know his origins and purpose. Making a rash move might cause some misunderstandings.

"Alright then, I'll go down the mountain in a few days and find an opportunity to probe first."

".."

For several days in a row, Song Qingming, Li Xuanyi, and the other two wandered around the market.

Besides the "Illusory Moon Pavilion" restaurant, they also visited several teahouses and shops selling various spiritual dishes in the market, basically exploring them all.

On this day, Song Qingming and his two companions sat in a teahouse enjoying tea.

In the middle of the teahouse, there was a long wooden table, where an old storyteller, holding a wooden ruler, was eloquently recounting the wonderful stories he had compiled.

As the old man spoke, he made various exaggerated hand-waving and leg-lifting gestures, as if he were actually there.

Just as Song Qingming and his two companions were listening intently, several men with fierce appearances suddenly walked into the teahouse and began to search their surroundings.

Whether these people had some kind of background or not, many of the independent cultivators in the teahouse looked uneasy when they saw them enter.

Even the old man telling stories on stage paused abruptly, his tone faltering.

Before long, the group arrived at the wooden table where Song Qingming and his companions were sitting. The leader was a thin, middle-aged man with several scars on his face, whose cultivation had reached the late Foundation Establishment stage. He was staring at Song Qingming, who was sitting in the middle, with an unfriendly expression.

"It's Zhang Tiepao. Wasn't this guy fighting someone in the market a few days ago and just dealt with by the Illusion Moon Pavilion? Why is he here again?"

"I've heard people say that Zhang Tiepao has an aunt who works in the Illusion Moon Pavilion. I guess this rumor is probably true."

Otherwise, how could he have been released so quickly and dare to be so arrogant in the market?

"Brother is right. These guys look unfamiliar and seem to have just arrived at the market. They're really unlucky to have been targeted by Zhang Tiepao!"

"Sigh, it's bad enough that we rogue cultivators are bullied outside, but I didn't expect that we would still be like this when we arrived at Golden Moon Island."

".."

Just as the surrounding cultivators were discussing amongst themselves, Zhang Tiepao's eyes turned cold, and he directly asked Song Qingming:
"This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar; it must be your first time here. May we become friends?"

"I, Song, have cultivated for many years and have always enjoyed making friends, so it is certainly possible!"

Seeing Song Qingming looking at him with a smile, Zhang Tiepao seemed to think that the other party was intimidated by his aura, and a look of satisfaction immediately appeared on his face.

"Since we are already friends, then I, Zhang, will not stand on ceremony with you, fellow Daoist."

My brother and I are planning to go hunting demons in the outer sea, but we happen to be short of some high-level magical artifacts.

"Fellow Daoist Song, as a friend, could you possibly lend me some spirit stones? We brothers will repay you in full once we return from our demon-hunting expedition to the outer seas!"

"If you need how many spirit stones, please tell me!"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Song is truly a generous person. No wonder he has two beauties by his side."

Seeing that Song Qingming agreed without hesitation, Zhang Tiepao was overjoyed, but his greedy gaze couldn't help but sweep over Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi.

"My brother has his eye on a few good high-level magic artifacts and talismans, and he only needs 20,000 to 30,000 spirit stones, so it won't cost much more."

"Fellow Daoist Song, please give me as much as you can right now. It's okay if you're a little short."

Despite the somewhat mocking gazes of Zhang Tiepao and his group, Song Qingming remained remarkably calm.

"Twenty or thirty thousand spirit stones is indeed not much for me!"

However, I have always been the kind of person who likes to help my friends to the very end.

Since you fellow Daoists are lacking magical artifacts, I, Song, do have a few that should be enough for you.

If I can carry it, I might as well just give it to you.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of spiritual light appeared in front of Song Qingming, and soon four or five more orbs of light appeared, each containing several weapons of unusual design.

Flying swords, steel forks, and rings—all radiated dazzling spiritual light.

When Zhang Tiepao and the others first saw the various spiritual lights emanating from these magical artifacts, they were quite excited and wanted to go forward to take a look.

But in just a short while, they discovered that the aura emanating from these things was clearly abnormal, far exceeding that of the magical artifacts they held.

"This is, this is a magic weapon."

"How can he have so many magical treasures on him!"

"It's actually a magic weapon! Could this person be a Golden Core cultivator?!"

".."

Upon seeing the numerous orbs of light in front of Song Qingming, the surrounding cultivators instantly realized that the person before them was not the Foundation Establishment cultivator they had thought of, and they were all shocked.

Zhang Tiepao and the others standing in front of Song Qingming were already dumbfounded.

The kind-looking Song Qingming with a smile on his face now seemed to them like a grim reaper who could take their lives at any moment.

"Why don't you want to try anymore? Is it because you're not satisfied with what I gave you, and you don't deserve to be my friend?"

At Song Qingming's somewhat threatening tone, Zhang Tiepao and the others were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and kept kowtowing to the group.

"I dare not. I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. I offended you seniors."

"I was blind and ignorant, please forgive me, sir."

Looking at these arrogant people who were now obsequious, Song Qingming didn't care at all. With a wave of his hand, he knocked the kneeling people unconscious to the side.

After dealing with a few ignorant cultivators, Song Qingming did not leave. Instead, he walked to a wooden table in the corner of the teahouse.

A middle-aged woman dressed in yellow sat alone at a wooden table in a corner of the teahouse.

Seeing Song Qingming walk over, the woman in yellow did not show any panic.

He simply took out a teacup and placed it in front of Song Qingming, then got up and poured him a bowl of spiritual tea.

"Those ignorant juniors just now offended you, fellow Daoist. I hope you won't be angry. Our sect will have someone deal with them later."

"I, Xueyue, on behalf of Golden Moon Island, apologize to Fellow Daoist Song."

When the middle-aged woman named Xueyue took the initiative to bow, Song Qingming returned the bow with his own hands clasped, showing her the same respect.

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to mind what had just happened, the middle-aged woman's expression softened slightly before she continued:

"Fellow Daoist Song seems to have never been to Golden Moon Island before. May I ask what brings you here today? Could you please tell us?"

When Xueyue asked him a question, Song Qingming did not answer directly. Instead, he took out a white porcelain bowl from his person and placed it on the wooden table.

Upon seeing the white porcelain bowl that Song Qingming had taken out, Fairy Xueyue was slightly taken aback, and then asked, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist Song, where did you get this from?"

Seeing that the other party truly recognized the porcelain bowl, Song Qingming couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement, and a long-lost relaxed smile appeared on his face.

After bowing to the person in front of him again, Song Qingming took out a scroll from his person and unfolded it in front of Xue Yue.

"My name is Song Qingming. I come from Donghuang Immortal Continent, and I have come here only to find one person!"

Looking at the young woman depicted in the painting, Xueyue was also somewhat surprised, and a hint of understanding appeared in her gaze as she looked at Song Qingming.

"So it turns out you came here for her. No wonder there were so many unfamiliar Nascent Soul cultivators on the island all of a sudden; it almost caused a misunderstanding!"

"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Song, the person you are looking for has indeed been here."

"You really saw Siyuan? Where is she now?"

Since Huang Siyuan left, Song Qingming had not heard from her for many years. Unexpectedly, he found her successfully during his trip to Lei Yuanhai.

The thought of finally seeing the person he had been longing for filled Song Qingming with undisguised joy.

Seeing Song Qingming's excited expression, Fairy Xueyue nodded and then looked around.

"Fellow Daoist Song, rest assured. Since you are my junior sister's Daoist partner, I will naturally not intentionally hide anything from you."

"It's a bit inconvenient to talk here. How about we move up the mountain for a chat, fellow Daoists?"

".."

A quarter of an hour later, Song Qingming and Fairy Xueyue arrived at a palace located on the mountaintop, where they also met two other women who were also at the Nascent Soul stage.

After the other party introduced themselves, Song Qingming learned that the three Snow Moon Fairies were Nascent Soul cultivators who had been stationed on the island for many years, and were also the true owners of the "Illusory Moon Pavilion" at the foot of the mountain.

The one who created this "Illusory Moon Pavilion" was their master, who was also the senior who took Huang Siyuan away from "Dangmo Mountain" back then, "Granny Jinyue".

"Granny Jin Yue" is a Nascent Soul cultivator who has attained enlightenment for many years in Lei Yuanhai's cultivation world.

However, because she disliked being tied down by a sect, "Granny Golden Moon" did not have many disciples or businesses; her only possession was "Granny Golden Moon Island."

Moreover, "Granny Jin Yue" doesn't come here often; she spends most of her time traveling around the outside world, and her whereabouts are very mysterious.

Therefore, very few people in the cultivation world of "Lei Yuanhai" know of the existence of this Nascent Soul Ancestor.

The many independent cultivators on "Golden Moon Island" knew that "Illusion Moon Pavilion" had a complex background.

But no one could have imagined that this seemingly inconspicuous restaurant would be related to the legendary Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Before Song Qingming came here, he wouldn't have thought of these things if Xiao Laogui hadn't reminded him.

"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Song, Junior Sister Qingyue did indeed return to Golden Moon Island with Master back then, and several of us met her."

. "

After the group greeted each other, the Snow Moon Fairy, who was at the head of the group, began to speak slowly to Song Qingming.

Only now did Song Qingming finally understand what had happened after Huang Siyuan parted ways with him.

Back then, Huang Siyuan met "Granny Jin Yue" at "Dangmo Mountain" and became her disciple, following "Granny Jin Yue" to Leiyuan Sea for cultivation.

With the help and support of "Grandma Jin Yue", Huang Siyuan had actually successfully achieved conception decades ago.

Upon hearing the news that Huang Siyuan had successfully formed her Nascent Soul, Song Qingming finally felt relieved.

The only regret is that after Huang Siyuan was born, she went on a journey with "Granny Jin Yue".

They are no longer on "Golden Moon Island".

"Fellow Daoist Xueyue, may I ask where Siyuan and Senior Jinyue have gone and when they will return? Could you please tell me?"

Faced with Song Qingming's earnest question, the three Snow Moon Fairies simply shook their heads.

“We naturally understand that Fellow Daoist Song wants to go and find Junior Sister Qingyue.”

However, our master always traveled quite freely and never specifically told us where she was or when she would return.

Even if something happens on the island, it's very difficult for us to contact them.

It has been more than 30 years since our master last went out, and we have not heard from her since. We all really want to see her again.

"But Fellow Daoist Song, don't worry. As long as they return, we will definitely inform Junior Sister Qingyue about this."

"Very well! In that case, I can only trouble you fellow Daoists."

Upon hearing that this "Granny Jin Yue" was also someone who was difficult to find and loved to travel, Song Qingming felt a pang of regret, but could only nod in agreement.

Although he couldn't see her for the time being, he did know that Huang Siyuan had already achieved infancy.

For Song Qingming right now, this is the best news he could receive.

(PS: I'm really sorry, I was so busy with a family banquet today, and I almost got drunk.)

I originally planned to add more chapters today, but I was in such a rush that I didn't write much. I'll have to add more tomorrow. (End of Chapter)
