Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Thinking of this, Song Qingming couldn't help but smile.

This time he eliminated Ma Wuchen, the great Jindan demon, and made a great contribution to the immortal cultivation world in the Floating Cloud Mountains. The opportunities and spiritual objects he obtained in front of him can be regarded as a reward from the heaven of this world.

After going forward to check the magic array and seeing that there was no major problem, Song Qingming immediately took action to dismantle the magic array in front of him and put it into his storage bag.

Located in the center of the formation is a round jade plate magic weapon, which is also the formation plate used by Ma Wuchen to set up this formation. The pressure emanating from it has reached the lower fourth level.

Through searching Ma Wuchen's soul, Song Qingming has also learned the name of this magic weapon, "Spirit Heart Jade Plate".

Although this "Spirit Heart Jade Plate" does not have any powerful magical powers, if taken out alone, it is also a fourth-level low-grade magic weapon that can assist cultivators in their practice.

It can add some calming and focused effects during practice, helping practitioners to concentrate better and not be disturbed by external objects or inner demons.

After carefully putting away the "Spiritual Heart Jade Plate" in his hand, Song Qingming took a quick glance and found a white jade pendant made of the same material not far away from it.

Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately smiled. He walked forward and picked it up. Soon he saw the formation book he wanted most on the back of the jade pendant.

This magic formation that can assist cultivators in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage was created by Ma Wuchen through the guidance of a jade tablet, with the "Spirit Heart Jade Plate" as the center of the formation, and by slowly collecting materials.

If there was no help from the jade token, even if Song Qingming took back all the materials for setting up the formation, it would not be so easy to set up the formation next time. It would probably take a lot of time to figure it out.

Song Qingming had basically gotten everything he wanted, and he was very satisfied at the moment. After taking another look at the empty stone chamber, he slowly walked out.

After leaving the cave where Ma Wuchen was, Song Qingming immediately took out his hat and put it on his head. Then he took out the "Phantom Boat" and instantly turned into a white light and disappeared over the "Reef Island".

Looking at the "reef island" getting farther and farther behind him, Song Qingming was still a little excited, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

This time, he obtained the "Spirit Heart Jade Plate" and a magic array that assists in breaking through the Nascent Soul realm, plus the "Thunder Infant Fruit" that he had snatched from the "Wind and Thunder Palace" before.

These spiritual objects that were extremely hard to find in the outside world to assist in forming a baby, but in just less than three years, he had actually found two of them in succession. When Song Qingming thought back on it now, it really seemed like a dream.

Even though he knew that it was not easy for a cultivator to break through the Nascent Soul realm, Song Qingming already had these two spiritual objects for forming the Nascent Soul at the moment, which gave him more confidence in his future breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm.

Just when Song Qingming was having infinite visions of his future path in his heart, he had just left the "Reef Island" for only a few dozen miles when he suddenly saw a purple light in the distance approaching him rapidly.

The speed of the person coming was no slower than the "Phantom Boat" under Song Qingming's feet. It seemed that he was obviously coming towards him who was on the way. This made Song Qingming frown.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be getting closer and closer to him, Song Qingming was about to speed up his escape to get rid of the other party, but a voice transmission entered his ears first.

"My fellow Taoist, I am Liu Qingyin from the Hunyuan Sect and have something to ask you. Could you please stay for a while?"

The two were still three or four miles apart, but Song Qingming had already felt a powerful pressure coming from the other person's location. It was obvious that this person's cultivation was not inferior to his own.

Not sure if there were any other "Hunyuan Sect" cultivators around besides this person, Song Qingming thought for a moment, then took the initiative to slowly stop the flying boat and turned to look in the direction of the purple light.

The next moment, a graceful woman in purple palace dress flashed in front of Song Qingming.

Liu Qingyin, dressed in purple, first glanced at Song Qingming. Seeing that the other party was wearing a hat to cover his face, a look of doubt immediately emerged on her face, and she carefully bowed to Song Qingming.

"My name is Liu Qingyin, and I am an elder of the Hunyuan Sect of Song State. I wonder what this fellow Taoist's name is?"

Although Song Qingming had rarely been to Song State during all these years of Jindan formation, he had heard a little about several of the more famous late Jindan cultivators in the Hunyuan Sect.

The Liu Qingyin in front of him was not only the elder of Hunyuan Sect, but also the second highest Jindan cultivator in the entire Hunyuan Sect. His cultivation was slightly higher than Song Qingming's, and he had already broken through to the ninth level of Jindan before him.

After bowing to Liu Qingyin in return, Song Qingming smiled and said to him, "I have heard of Daoist Fellow Liu for a long time. I am Luo Yulong, a casual cultivator from the East China Sea. I am here to pay my respects to you while passing by your precious place.

I don't know what Daoist Liu wants to stop me for, please tell me frankly so I can continue on my way!"

Because of the discord between the two sects, Song Qingming naturally could not reveal his true identity in front of the cultivators of the "Hunyuan Sect". After he deliberately disguised himself, his voice also sounded much rougher.

Luo Yulong was a casual cultivator who had gone out to sea with Song Qingming to hunt monsters in the East China Sea. He had reached the peak of the sixth level of the Golden Core several decades ago, and if nothing unexpected happened, his cultivation level would not be much different from Song Qingming's now.

When Liu Qingyin heard that Song Qingming claimed to be a casual cultivator from the "East Sea Immortal Cultivation World", her expression did not change much, and she continued to ask:
"Fellow Daoist Luo, it's like this. A few days ago, our sect discovered a late Jindan demon cultivator nearby, and we are doing our best to search for this demon. Have you encountered any person of unknown origin?"

While speaking, Liu Qingyin stared straight ahead, and her spiritual sense also began to radiate towards where Song Qingming was.

Seeing that the other party wanted to use his spiritual sense to check his background, Song Qingming immediately activated the "Soul Devouring Art" in his body to block Liu Qingyin's spiritual sense in front of him, and replied in a somewhat unhappy tone:

"I was just passing by here on my way, and I didn't see anything unusual nearby. Are you suspecting that I'm the evil cultivator you mentioned?"

As soon as her spiritual sense touched Song Qingming, Liu Qingyin instantly felt a barrier formed by an even more powerful spiritual sense, which directly blocked her spiritual sense back, which instantly made her face reveal a bit of surprise.

Because Liu Qingyin chose to practice alchemy, he had already practiced a technique to enhance his spiritual awareness.

Ever since Liu Qingyin's cultivation broke through to the ninth level of the Golden Core, her spiritual awareness has been considered extremely powerful among the Golden Core cultivators of the same level, and it is rare to encounter anyone who can be compared with her.

The "Luo Yulong" in front of him was only at the eighth level of the Golden Core Realm, and he claimed to be a casual cultivator. No one expected that he could be stronger than himself in spiritual awareness. This also made Liu Qingyin show some fear towards the person in front of him.

"Haha! Brother Luo has misunderstood, that is not what I meant!
The evil cultivator is hiding here and causing harm to the people. As a righteous sect, our Hunyuan Sect cannot let him get away with it, so we have dispatched our disciples to search for and eliminate this evil cultivator.

However, the evil villains have many tricks up their sleeves, so we have to be careful. I hope that Fellow Daoist Luo can understand this and not be surprised.

If I have offended you just now, I would like to apologize to you first!"

After Liu Qingyin finished speaking, she bowed towards where Song Qingming was standing. Her tone and attitude when she spoke were obviously much more polite than before.

Seeing that the other party took back his consciousness, Song Qingming's expression eased a little, and he nodded and said:
"Exterminating demons and defending the Way is the unshirkable duty of righteous cultivators like me. There is no need to explain this to fellow Taoists. Luo can naturally understand your sect.

If Luo hadn't had something important to do today, perhaps he could have helped fellow Taoist.

That's all! Since you've said this, I can't tell you anything unless I prove my identity. I wonder if this item can dissuade you from thinking about it."

After taking the initiative to explain, Song Qingming gently raised his right hand, and then he moved the magic power in his hand, and immediately a large ball of white flame appeared.

Seeing the "Xuan Yang Flame" released by Song Qingming's spell, Liu Qingyin quickly felt a very refined pure Yang spiritual energy from it, and the worry on her face just now instantly became relieved.

The magical power of "Xuan Yang Flame" practiced by Song Qingming, the pure yang spiritual energy gathered in it is the nemesis of the magic cultivators and the ghost cultivators. It is impossible for the magic cultivators to fake this thing.

"Since it is a misunderstanding, I will not bother you anymore. If you are free someday, you can come to visit my Hunyuan Sect. I will then apologize to you."

Seeing that the other party had dispelled his doubts, Song Qingming put away the "Xuan Yang Fiery Flame" in his hand, waved his hand and smiled:

"No problem! I have lived in the East China Sea for a long time, and this is my first time to travel to the Floating Cloud Mountains. When I finish what I have on hand, I will definitely find time to visit your clan.

I hope you can teach me something when the time comes, and don’t forget me.”

"I don't dare!"

After bowing and saying goodbye to Liu Qingyin, Song Qingming immediately urged the flying boat under his feet, and turned into a beam of white light and disappeared into the sky!
Liu Qingyin, who was standing in the same place, looked at the direction where Song Qingming left, and couldn't help but recall what he had just said.

For some reason, although Liu Qingyin was sure that the person in front of her was not a demon cultivator, she always felt that Song Qingming's cultivation and supernatural powers were somewhat unusual, and he did not seem like a casual cultivator.

It was just that the purpose of his going out this time was to search for the nearby lair of the evil cultivators for the sect.

No matter who Song Qingming is, or whether he just happened to pass by here, as long as the other party can prove that he has nothing to do with the evil cultivators, she has no reason to force him to stay.

After thinking for a while, Liu Qingyin shook his head slightly, then turned into a beam of light and fled away.

After running forward for more than a hundred miles, Song Qingming, who was standing on the flying boat, relaxed a little when he saw that no one was chasing him.

Song Qingming was really surprised to encounter a cultivator from the Hunyuan Sect on the road shortly after leaving Ma Wuchen's cave.

Liu Qingyin and his team moved so quickly that they found the vicinity of the "Reef Island".

Fortunately, Song Qingming took the risk to come here this time and took away the spiritual objects in Ma Wuchen’s cave in advance.

Otherwise, if the people from the Hunyuan Sect found the "Reef Island" first, Song Qingming would come back to find it in vain. The spiritual stones, magic weapons and the "Spirit Heart Jade Plate" on his body would all fall into the hands of others.

Just now, Liu Qingyin was fully focused on tracking down the demon cultivator and was not overly curious about Song Qingming's identity. This could be considered as indirectly helping Song Qingming a lot.

Without absolute certainty of being able to escape quickly, Song Qingming didn't want to fight with the other party.

If other "Hunyuan Sect" monks are attracted nearby, it will not be so easy to escape, and it is very likely that Song Qingming will eventually expose his identity.

Now that they were some distance away from the "Reef Island", Song Qingming gradually calmed down and slightly slowed down the speed of the "Phantom Boat".

An hour later, a beam of light came rapidly from the north of "Xufeng Island". Looking at the island getting closer and closer, Song Qingming's face gradually regained its calm.

This trip to get the treasure only took most of the day. Song Qingming set out facing the rising sun, and until he successfully returned to "Xufeng Island", the sun in the sky was still in no hurry to set.

Just after returning to the vicinity of the cave, Song Qingming saw Song Qingyu and Li Xiuning coming towards him from afar, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Qingyu, why did you come out so soon?"

Seeing the worry on Song Qingming's face, Song Qingyu quickly smiled and nodded:
"Don't worry, Brother Qi. The blood poison in my body has been almost cleared. I can slowly recover from the other injuries when I return home. It won't be a problem.

The battle on the deserted island that day might have alerted the people of Hunyuan Sect. It is not safe for us to stay here any longer, so we should go back as soon as possible!"

While recuperating from his injuries these days, Song Qingyu has also been somewhat worried, fearing that people from the Hunyuan Sect would secretly track him down to Xufeng Island.

Therefore, after Song Qingyu had cleared the blood poison from his body during seclusion, he immediately rushed out, as he did not want to waste their precious time to escape because of his injuries.

After hearing what Song Qingyu said, Song Qingming naturally understood her thoughts at once. After smiling and sighing, he didn't say anything more.

After returning to the cave and packing up, they left "Xufeng Island" directly in the afterglow of the setting sun that day, and then headed south.

It was not until a few days later, when he entered the territory of Wu State in the southeast, that he completely put aside his worries and slowly walked back to "Qinghe County" of Wei State.

Outside the "Chiyanfang" in the northeast corner of Qinghe County, a white light flew quickly and soon landed on a low mountain several miles away from the market.

After taking a look at the "Chiyanfang" not far away, Song Qingming turned to Li Xiuning who was standing on the flying boat and said, "It's not convenient to go ahead, so I'll take you here.

You must remember that we must not tell anyone about our treasure hunt this time, including the monks of my Song family.

Otherwise, if the news is leaked, it may cause unnecessary trouble to you and me, so we must consider this matter carefully."

"Don't worry, senior. Xiuning knows the seriousness of this matter. Even if you don't remind me, I will never tell others." Hearing Song Qingming's reminder, Li Xiuning nodded quickly and agreed seriously.

This time when they went to Song State to look for the "Divine Thunder of Heaven and Earth", Song Qingming had already asked her to swear in advance not to tell anyone else about this matter. They also claimed to the outside world that they were going to the "Taiyue Lake" in the south to hunt monsters.

Although there were some twists and turns during the treasure hunt, fortunately they returned to Weiguo smoothly, and Li Xiuning also received a lot of rewards from Song Qingming.

For Li Xiuning, being able to survive the Jindan monster and the evil cultivators was already a great blessing, so he dared not tell anyone about it.

After hearing Li Xiuning's answer, Song Qingming waved his hand again and said:

"Okay! You go first. When the Barrier Breaking Pills are ready at the clan, I'll have someone notify you to come back and get them.

If you encounter any problems in the future that are inconvenient to talk to Yuan Hao and the others, you can also come directly to Funiushan to find me and Qingyu. "

"Thank you, Senior Song, for seeing me off! Xiuning understands."

Seeing that Song Qingming had given him the privilege of directly meeting the two Song family Jindan elders, Li Xiuning quickly smiled and nodded to express his gratitude.

Then he jumped down from the "Phantom Boat", stepped on the flying sword and turned into a sword light, flying towards the direction of "Chiyanfang".

After taking a detour and sending Li Xiuning to "Chiyanfang" first, Song Qingming urged the flying boat under his feet, turned around and returned to the family with Song Qingyu.

Looking at the extremely familiar "Funiu Mountain" in the distance that was getting closer and closer, the two of them slowly relaxed and a smile appeared on their faces.

"Qingyu, don't let Siyuan know about the Red Blood Demon, so she won't worry about us. The fewer people who know about this, the better."

After returning from Ma Wuchen's cave that day, Song Qingming told Song Qingyu everything about how he had previously killed Ma Wuchen's soul, and the threat he encountered from the "Red Blood Demon" later.

Seeing the solemn look on Song Qingming's face, Song Qingyu immediately understood his worries and smiled to comfort him:
"Seventh Brother! Don't worry too much about this matter. As the saying goes, there is always a way out. As long as we work together, there will always be a way to solve the problem.

Moreover, now that Uncle Bai has successfully condensed his Nascent Soul, the sect already has two Nascent Soul ancestors.

That old guy has been hiding here and there for so many years, and he may not have the courage to come to our Wei country to cause trouble in the future.

As long as we strengthen the mountain protection formation in the future and keep in touch with the sect at all times, even if the Red Blood Demon really comes, he may not be able to gain any advantage.

Maybe by then, we can even break a few of this old devil's teeth, and let these demon cultivators see how powerful we are."

Seeing Song Qingyu beside him speaking with full confidence, Song Qingming couldn't help but smiled and shook his head:
"Those Nascent Soul Demons are old monsters that have lived for thousands of years. How can they be so easy to deal with? If you think too easily of them, we will suffer a great loss in the future.

But you are right. Now that it has happened, it is useless for us to worry about it blindly. We still have to slowly think of a solution. "

"Well! Don't worry, Brother Qi. No matter what decision you make in the future, I will support you."

Seeing the worry in Song Qingming's words slowly dissipate, Song Qingyu also nodded and smiled, and with a firm look in his eyes, he said what he wanted to tell Song Qingming most in his heart.

As the flying boat under their feet slowly entered the "Funiu Mountain" mountain protection formation, the expressions on Song Qingming and Song Qingyu's faces gradually returned to normal.

Upon learning that Song Qingming and the others had returned safely, Huang Siyuan, who was in seclusion refining the elixir, immediately came out and went to the "Huixian Pavilion" on the top of the mountain.

Seeing that Song Qingyu was seriously injured, Huang Siyuan suddenly became worried and started asking about the two of them.

Seeing this, Song Qingming had no choice but to briefly tell him about their trip to Song State to find the "Divine Thunder of Heaven and Earth" and their fierce battle with Ma Wuchen.

However, in order to prevent Huang Siyuan from worrying too much, Song Qingming chose to conceal the later events regarding the "Red Blood Demon".

Upon learning that they had encountered a demon at the peak of the Jindan stage, which caused Song Qingyu to be injured, Huang Siyuan felt a little scared.

Huang Siyuan naturally knew about Song Qingyu's cultivation and supernatural powers. Her true strength in practicing the sword technique was no less than that of an ordinary late Jindan cultivator.

Even Song Qingyu was injured so badly. If she had gone with Song Qingming, they might not have been so lucky to come back.

Huang Siyuan felt a lingering fear in her heart when she thought of this. It seemed that she had to seize the time to improve her strength in the future.

Seeing the worry on Huang Siyuan's face, Song Qingming quickly spoke to comfort her and took out some of the gains he had obtained from this trip, which diverted their attention.

If we were to say what the biggest gain of Song Qingming and his companions was during this trip to the State of Song, apart from the "Spiritual Heart Jade Plate" found in Ma Wuchen's cave later, it would naturally be the "Divine Thunder of Heaven and Earth" he found in the cave.

By devouring and refining this "divine thunder of heaven and earth", Song Qingming's practice of "Heaven-Devouring Thunder-Controlling Art" was successfully advanced to the middle stage of foundation building, which also added a lot of help to him in dealing with Ma Wuchen later.

After learning that Song Qingming had successfully found and refined the "Divine Thunder of Heaven and Earth", Huang Siyuan and the others were very happy for him.

In addition, there are magic weapons, talismans and many spirit stones found in Ma Wuchen’s cave, as well as materials from the "Eight-legged Demon King" that Song Qingming had killed before.

If all these spiritual objects were added together, the total value would almost exceed 300,000 spiritual stones.

Seeing the various high-level spiritual objects and mountains of spiritual stones that Song Qingming took out, Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu couldn't help but feel excited.

"My husband, you have made a fortune with so many spirit stones. I think these spirit stones combined are enough for my husband to find a spiritual item to help him form a baby."

Hearing Huang Siyuan's suggestion, Song Qingming shook his head slightly and said, "These magic weapons are not easy to deal with for the time being, so let's wait for a chance in the future before making plans.

As for the spirit stones, I want to first upgrade the spirit veins of Funiushan Mountain to the third-class upper grade, and then replace it with a more powerful mountain protection formation." (End of this chapter)
