Qinghe Immortal Clan.

After Song Xinyu finished speaking, he sighed slightly, as if the next words were difficult to say.

Seeing this, Song Qingming quickly smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Xinyu, I am somewhat relieved that you have been able to look beyond the present in recent years.

No matter what happens, we are all descendants of the same ancestor. Just say whatever you want to say. I hope you won't be too estranged from Uncle Seventh."

"Uncle Qi, you also know that I don't have much time left. Now that I am in the sect, I have no worries except for these disciples. The only thing I am still a little worried about is Linxi.

Linxi's talent for cultivation is much better than mine. She will definitely have some hope of forming a golden elixir in the future, and can go further on the path of cultivation than I can.

Now that she has successfully established her foundation, and I don't have much time left, if she keeps staying by my side, I'm afraid it will hinder her future path.

I want to discuss with Uncle Seventh whether it is possible to allow Linxi to leave the sect and return to the family to practice.

With your and Aunt Qingyu's care and support, Linxi's hope of forming a pill in the future will be increased. I have lived up to her parents' trust in me."

When Song Qingming heard that Song Xinyu wanted to send Song Linxi back to the family for training, he instantly understood his intention and his face couldn't help but fall silent.

Song Linxi is a dual spiritual root cultivator like Song Yuanli. He reached the third level of foundation building before he was fifty years old. His cultivation speed is considered top-notch among the many foundation building cultivators in the Song family.

If Song Linxi were brought back to "Funiu Mountain", with the support of family ancestors such as Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, with her talent, it would be very likely that she would be able to form a pill in the future.

And if he chooses to stay in the "Xiaoyao Sect" which is full of geniuses, although Song Linxi's talents in both spiritual roots are still outstanding, his cultivation speed is not inferior to that of the inner disciples of the same level.

But without the support of a teacher of higher status, she might not be able to compete with the direct disciples of the Jindan elders in terms of resources for forming the golden elixir in the future.

This is also what Song Xinyu, as her master, is most worried about. Therefore, he talked to Song Qingming and wanted to send Song Linxi back to the family for training.

If it were a few years ago, when Song Xinyu proposed this matter, as long as Song Linxi was willing, Song Qingming would definitely not have too many concerns and would bring him back to "Funiu Mountain".

But now, just after the trip to Song State, Song Qingming has been targeted by a big devil like "Red Blood Demon", and the entire Song family is in danger.

Song Qingming didn't know whether bringing Song Linxi back to the family at this time would be a good thing or a bad thing for her in the future.

After thinking for a while, Song Qingming still hadn't made up his mind. He calmly replied to Song Xinyu beside him:

“Xinyu, although you are doing this for Linxi’s sake, as elders, it is best for us not to make decisions for her without authorization. We should listen to Linxi’s own ideas.

As long as she is willing to return to the family with me to practice, I will tell Junior Sister Xu about this and bring her back to Funiu Mountain.

If she still wants to stay in the sect, I think we shouldn't force it."

"Well, Uncle Qi, you know that this girl has been with me all these years. If I let her choose on her own now, I'm afraid that I will hinder her future path."

Seeing Song Xinyu sighing with some embarrassment on his face, Song Qingming immediately shook his head and said:
"Don't worry! I can promise you that no matter what Linxi chooses, I will definitely not ignore her future path.

Although I am not in the sect now, I am still the sect's guest elder, and I have a good relationship with Uncle Bai and the others. I will not let her down in the future.

However, how far she can go on her path depends on her own practice. Even if I let her stay by my side, I, the Seventh Uncle, cannot guarantee that I will be able to support her in achieving success in forming a pill in the future."

Although Song Qingming had not paid too much attention to Song Linxi's path in recent years, he still asked Song Yuanfang to help inquire about the news.

No matter what, it is the bloodline passed down from the family ancestors. As long as Song Linxi can successfully reach the stage of Jindan in the future, Song Qingming will definitely find a way to support him.

After hearing Song Qingming's reply, Song Xinyu's expression became a little better. He stood up and bowed respectfully to Song Qingming and said:
"One's path is destined by heaven and cannot be forced. I understand these principles. Uncle Qi, I feel relieved today after hearing your words."

What Song Xinyu said today was nothing more than for Song Linxi's future path. Now that he had received a promise from Song Qingming, he naturally felt relieved.

The personal path of cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation mostly depends on personal opportunities. All Song Qingming can do is to help Song Linxi at the critical moment of forming the elixir in the future. How far she can go in the future depends on herself.

After comforting Song Xinyu, Song Qingming cast a spell to take out a storage bag from his body and handed it to Song Xinyu.

“Xinyu, it has not been easy for you in the sect these years. These spirit stones are a token of our family’s appreciation. Please distribute them to Yuanrong and the others for me later.

Although you are no longer in the family, you are of the same blood after all. Now that the family is much better off, we naturally should not forget you.

I hope that all of you, regardless of your Taoist talents, can practice well and not slack off on your own cultivation.

Maybe one day in the future, the family may need to rely on people like you."

"Uncle Qi, don't worry! I will definitely distribute these spirit stones to Yuan Rong and the others.

Seeing the bag full of spirit stones in his hand, Song Xinyu couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and looked at Song Qingming in front of him with some excitement.

Just as he was about to step forward and greet him, Song Qingming waved his hand to stop him.

After motioning Song Xinyu to sit down, Song Qingming immediately changed the subject and said:
"Oh, right! Last time I heard Yuan Fang say that you wanted to find a good place near Guyang Mountain to gather the mortal blood left by those tribesmen at the foot of the mountain.

Xinyu, you and I thought the same thing about this matter.

Regardless of whether they are cultivators or mortals, they are all descendants of my Song family. Now that our family is able to do so, we should take care of them.

I have already told Yuan Fang that once you find a suitable place, the family will send people to help you relocate these mortals.

If there is any inconvenience and you need the family's help in coordinating with the sect, just send a message to Yuan Fang and I will try my best to arrange it."

In recent years, with the continuous development of the family, the Song family has rarely sent monks to "Guyang Mountain" to practice.

However, most of the clan members who originally joined the sect have married, had children and settled down in "Guyang Mountain", so there are still many family bloodlines passed down at the foot of the mountain.

Among the descendants of these Song family members, children with spiritual roots like Song Linxi would be sent directly to "Guyang Mountain" to practice, while the rest of the mortals would be left at the foot of "Guyang Mountain" to reproduce and thrive.

These mortals living at the foot of "Guyang Mountain" naturally have frictions and conflicts with the surrounding areas because they live together with the descendants of other "Xiaoyao Sect" monks.

Although the conflicts between mortals are mediated by the monks who manage this place, absolute fairness is often not achieved. The mortals of the Song family who feel they have been wronged will inevitably seek help from the immortals in their own family on the mountain.

As the member of the Song family with the highest cultivation status in "Guyang Mountain", Song Xinyu often heard from other clansmen about the conflicts and contradictions between the mortals of the Song family's bloodline.

At the beginning, Song Xinyu was only focused on reaching the Golden Core realm, so naturally he would not be interested in these trivial matters among the mortals living down the mountain.

It was not until recent years, when his career was already ruined, that he slowly began to pay attention to these trivial matters.

He wanted to find a better place to gather all the mortals of the Song family living under "Guyang Mountain" before he passed away, so that they would not be bullied by other mortals living under the mountain in the future.

After hearing about this, Song Qingming agreed with Song Xinyu's idea in his heart, so he expressed his support in front of him and supported Song Xinyu in doing this.

To the entire family, these mortals are also the bloodline branches of the Song family left behind.

If something really happens in "Funiu Mountain" one day, the family bloodline that remains in Guyang Mountain may become the hope for the family's future revival.

It was for this reason that Song Qingming gradually began to pay attention to Song Xinyu and others over the years, and even specially sent them spirit stones as financial support, hoping to encourage them to practice in the future.

Hearing Song Qingming talking about the mortals down the mountain, Song Xinyu nodded and said quickly: "Don't worry, Uncle Qi, although I am old, I am still able to move my hands and feet.

As long as I have the support of my family, I can definitely handle this matter.

In recent years, several children have been sent up from the mountain. Although their talents are not as good as Linxi's, they are still diligent in their practice, and maybe they will have a chance to build a foundation in the future.

It's a pity that I was in a hurry today and didn't have time to call them all over. When Uncle Qi is free to come over some other day, I will definitely call them all over to meet you."

"Well! There is no need to rush about this matter. I will definitely come to find you when I come to Guyang Mountain in the future. There will always be a chance."

The two chatted outside for a while, and suddenly they smelled the fragrance of tea.

Song Qingming looked up and found that it was Song Linxi who came over with a pot of brewed spiritual tea. He quickly stretched out his hand and invited him to come and sit down.

Because he had met the family ancestor Song Qingming many times since he was a child, Song Linxi did not act too restrained in front of the two of them. The three of them chatted facing the rising sun for more than half an hour before Song Qingming got up and left.

Seeing Song Qingming's receding figure disappear into the sky, Song Linxi looked at the exquisite second-grade top-grade magic weapon he had just obtained in his hand, and put it away with a look of joy.

Then he followed his master Song Xinyu and returned to the cave.

When faced with the choices proposed by Song Qingming and the others, Song Linxi finally chose to stay in "Guyang Mountain" as expected, unable to bear leaving her master Song Xinyu at this time. In this regard, Song Qingming and Song Xinyu also chose to respect her thoughts and did not interfere with her personal decision too much.
-
After leaving "Guyang Mountain", Song Qingming headed north and quickly returned to Qinghe County.

After returning to the family, Song Qingming explained everything to Song Qingyu and others, and then immediately began to retreat and refine the magic circle.

Song Qingming's formation level had already been raised to the third-level mid-grade for many years. After exchanging views on formations with Bai Yuxian, a fourth-level formation master, he benefited a lot from it and gained many different insights.

After the retreat, it took Song Qingming less than half a year to successfully refine the required third-grade top-grade "Spirit Gathering Array", and by the way, he also improved his own array level to the third-grade top-grade.

By the time Song Qingming came out of seclusion, Song Yuanfang and others had accumulated 150,000 spirit stones in the "Gold Pavilion" after some family mobilization.

To upgrade the family spiritual vein, about 200,000 spirit stones were needed. Song Qingming did not hesitate too much and chose to pay the remaining 50,000 spirit stones out of his own pocket.

With the operation of the "Spirit Gathering Array" on the top of the mountain, the spiritual energy of the entire "Funiu Mountain" gradually increased, and finally stabilized to the third-grade upper level after a year.

In the entire Wei State, except for the fourth-level intermediate spiritual vein "Guyang Mountain", among the remaining dozen or so third-level spiritual veins, the ones with the best spiritual energy are "Guiyunfang" and "Baiyun Valley".

The spiritual energy of these two spiritual veins has reached the third-grade upper level and is controlled by the "Xiaoyao Sect".

After the spiritual energy of "Funiu Mountain" was upgraded to the third-grade upper grade, it also became the only third-grade upper grade spiritual vein in Wei State that was not directly controlled by the "Xiaoyao Sect".

For this reason, everyone in the Song family had a glow on their faces, and they all had special expectations for the family's spiritual vein upgrade.

As the leading immortal cultivation family in Wei State, the Song family already has three Jindan ancestors including Song Qingming, and also has Song Qingming, the patriarch who is in the late Jindan stage, in charge.

Today, the overall family strength of the Song family can barely be ranked among the best even in the entire Floating Cloud Mountain Range cultivation world.

Apart from a few Nascent Soul sects like the Xiaoyao Sect that stand at the top of the world of immortal cultivation, among the many remaining Jindan forces, a Jindan family like the Song family can definitely be regarded as a hegemon if placed outside.

After successfully improving the family's spiritual vein, Song Qingming spent a lot of time to install another third-level top-grade magic formation on "Funiu Mountain" to strengthen the family's defense.

In addition, Song Qingming also made a special trip to the East China Sea immortal cultivation world with Huang Siyuan, and purchased a third-level magic weapon specifically for dealing with demonic cultivators from "Tian Dan City", and refined it into the "Funiu Mountain" mountain protection formation.

With the blessing of this magic weapon, the "Funiu Mountain" mountain protection formation was not only strengthened a lot, but also gained an additional ability to identify demonic cultivators.

As long as they are not high-level demon cultivators who are powerful and well disguised, other cultivators who practice demonic techniques or are contaminated by demonic energy will automatically trigger the restrictions above as soon as they approach the formation and be attacked.

After improving and strengthening the power of the "Funiu Mountain" mountain protection formation, Song Qingming, who had been somewhat worried for more than a year, finally slowly put his mind at ease.

With these two level three mountain protection formations that he personally set up, even if a Nascent Soul master like "Red Blood Demon" came, it would be impossible for him alone to break the formation in a short period of time.

The Song family is not too far away from the "Guyang Mountain" where the sect is located. As long as the other party cannot break the "Mountain Protection Formation" in a short period of time, the Song family can immediately ask the sect for help.

The two Nascent Soul ancestors of the "Xiaoyao Sect" will be able to reach "Funiu Mountain" in half an hour at most. By then, the "Red Blood Demon" will probably not be able to gain any advantage.

After strengthening the family's "mountain protection formation", Song Qingming's mind gradually stabilized and he began to practice in seclusion again.

Song Qingming has been practicing to the "Eighth Level of Golden Elixir" for quite some time, and his internal magic power has been almost polished. It is time for him to break through the bottleneck of his practice.

Originally, Song Qingming planned to practice in seclusion for a period of time and push his cultivation to the ninth level of the Golden Core realm in one fell swoop.

However, this time, he had been in seclusion for less than half a year when he received a letter from "Guyang Mountain".

Not long after, Song Qingming took the initiative to stop his retreat and walked out of his cave.

Half a day later, they arrived at Huixian Pavilion on the top of Funiu Mountain.

Song Yuanfang, who rushed over after receiving the news, saw Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan drinking tea and chatting, and hurriedly took the initiative to step forward and bowed to the two.

"Yuan Fang greets Seventh Uncle!"

Seeing that Song Yuanfang's aura had changed significantly, Song Qingming immediately smiled and nodded to him:
"Yes, you have already broken through to the eighth level of foundation building. Yuan Fang, you can also start practicing the art of hiding your essence!
Although your cultivation speed is not as fast as Yuan Hao and Chang Ze, it is not slow either. You still have a chance to reach the Golden Core Realm."

Song Yuanfang, who had just broken through to the eighth level of foundation building not long ago, was very happy to hear the clan leader Song Qingming praising his cultivation.

As the eldest elder of the family, Song Yuanfang, although he has been in charge of the family's mundane affairs for many years, his status in the clan is second only to the several Jindan ancestors on the top of the mountain.

However, Song Yuanfang's talent for cultivation was not particularly outstanding among the many elders in the family who had built their foundation. He had succeeded in building his foundation earlier, but his cultivation had already been surpassed by younger clan members with better talents, such as Song Changze and Song Yuanhao.

Song Yuanfang, who was somewhat confused about his path at the time, gradually saw his own path clearly after Song Qingming promised to support his Dan-forming spiritual creatures.

In addition to managing the family's mundane affairs in recent years, Song Yuanfang has also intensified his own cultivation.

After advancing to the late stage of foundation building, Song Yuanfang's path became smoother. In less than ten years, he broke through to the eighth level of foundation building.

"Seventh Uncle is right. After I have completely stabilized my cultivation, I have already planned to practice the Hidden Yuan Technique. I won't let you worry about this matter."

Although Song Yuanfang still lacks the foundation to reach the Golden Core realm, he is not far away. He can already practice the "Yuan Cang Shu" to prepare for his future Golden Core formation.

Hearing Song Qingming's instructions at this moment, Song Yuanfang quickly responded.

After asking Song Yuanfang to sit down, Song Qingming stood up and said to him, "In a few months, I will go to Leiyuanhai with Uncle Bai to attend a trade fair.

I know that after improving our family's spiritual veins last time, there are not many spiritual stones left in the Treasury of the Treasury Pavilion.

In the next few months, you should take the time to check the family spiritual objects in stock in the Treasury. As long as they are of level two quality or above, you can collect them. I should be able to exchange them for quite a few spiritual stones when I take them to the trade fair.

You can also inform the subordinate families about this matter, but don't tell them the purpose of your family collecting spiritual objects. Just find an excuse to deal with them yourself."

"Oh! This is a good thing. There are still many mature second-level spiritual medicines in the family spiritual medicine garden. We can't use them for the time being, so we can just exchange them for spiritual stones.

Don't worry, Uncle Seventh. I will take care of this matter as soon as I get back.

I just don't know how long it will take you to go to Lei Yuanhai this time. Changze is almost at the stage of forming a pill now. Wouldn't it be safer to arrange for him to go into seclusion after you come back?"

In addition to Song Yuanfang's improvement in cultivation, Song Changze, who had already broken through the ninth level of foundation building many years ago, also cultivated the "Yuan Cang Shu" to perfection not long ago and can try to retreat to the Jindan realm at any time.

Hearing Song Yuanfang mention Song Changze's Dan-forming matter, Song Qingming immediately nodded slightly and said, "I estimate that it will take at least one or two years for me to go to Leiyuan Sea this time, and I won't be back so soon.

The matter of forming the elixir is no joke. I cannot let Changze's time for forming the elixir be delayed just because I go to Lei Yuanhai.

Don't worry, I have already explained everything to Siyuan about Changze's Dan formation. When he is ready, Siyuan will help him arrange his retreat."

Hearing that Song Qingming had already made arrangements for this, Song Yuanfang nodded immediately, and then left the "Huixian Pavilion" at Song Qingming's signal.

After Song Yuanfang left, Huang Siyuan raised her hand and poured a cup of spiritual tea for Song Qingming, who seemed to be thinking about something, and said with a smile:
"Husband, don't worry when you go to Leiyuanhai this time. Qingyu, Yuanfang and I are at home, so nothing will happen.

It is estimated that Qingyu will be able to come out of seclusion in half a year at most.

With her help in protecting the law, Changze's Dan formation won't be a big problem."

Hearing Huang Siyuan's comfort, Song Qingming smiled and picked up the teacup on the table, and said softly: "Originally, I wanted to take you to Lei Yuanhai this time.

But Qingyu is still in seclusion to recuperate, and the family needs help for the time being, so you have to work hard again.

If there is any spiritual object you like, why don't you tell me first? When we get to Lei Yuan Sea, I will try my best to find out about it, so that I can compensate you a little."

Huang Siyuan heard this, but shook her head and said: "We are all family, why talk about hard work? You and I have supported each other for many years, and your words seem strange!
As for any spiritual objects I want, I am now not far from breaking through to become a top-grade third-level alchemist, but the alchemy furnace in my hand is no longer enough.

If you see a good quality alchemy furnace at the trade fair, you can exchange it with me first, and I will find a way to pay you back in spirit stones later."

Huang Siyuan's alchemy skills have improved by leaps and bounds since she joined the "Tian Dan League" in recent years, and she has already reached the bottleneck of a third-level top-grade alchemist.

The reason she wanted to replace the alchemy furnace at this moment was because she was confident that she could improve her alchemy skills.

"Haha! Just now you said that I was distant, why are you going to be so clear with me about this little spiritual stone?

It is said that even infant spirit objects may appear at the Leiyuanhai Trade Fair, so it should not be difficult to encounter high-level alchemy furnaces. Don't worry, I have made a note of this." (End of this chapter)
