Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Ever since the family had the high-level alchemist Huang Siyuan, the entire Song family has benefited greatly from it.

Whether it was Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, or the many low-level cultivators in the family, almost all of them had taken the pills refined by Huang Siyuan.

Song Qingming naturally supported Huang Siyuan's idea of ​​improving her alchemy skills, and he nodded in agreement immediately.

Even if this reason is not taken into consideration, as Taoist companions who have supported each other for many years, Song Qingming will also try his best to find the high-level alchemy furnace that Huang Siyuan wants if he has the ability.

Seeing that Song Qingming agreed to her request without hesitation, Huang Siyuan smiled slightly and didn't say anything else. She turned around and picked up the teapot on the table.

Time passed slowly, and soon several months had passed. One day, Song Yuanhao, Song Linrui, and Song Yuanqian, three of the Song family's foundation-building elders, came together to the family meeting room.

As soon as the three of them walked in, Song Yuanfang immediately reached out and asked the younger generations who were assisting him in managing the affairs to leave.

"Yuan Qian, these things are what our family has recently collected and are going to take to Lei Yuan Sea. You guys must take good care of them.

Remember, no matter what happens, you must discuss it with your seventh uncle first, and don’t let anything go wrong.”

After Song Yuanfang finished speaking, he immediately handed the storage bags in his hand to Song Yuanqian and others, and once again carefully told them about the many spiritual objects contained in them.

The things in these storage bags were collected by the Song family over a period of several months and were almost all high-level spiritual objects above level two.

As a family elder who had managed the "Gold Storage Pavilion" for many years, Song Yuanqian also participated in the process of collecting spiritual objects. She was very familiar with this and quickly nodded in response to Song Yuanfang.

"Sixteenth brother! Don't worry, I know all these things, nothing will happen.

Besides, this time the clan leader is leading the team, and we are just following them to gain some experience and help out, so how dare we make decisions on our own!"

As they were talking, a beam of light descended from the top of "Funiu Mountain". Then Song Qingming, dressed in green, appeared outside the "conference room" and strode in.

"Meet the clan leader!"

Seeing Song Qingming walk in, Song Yuanfang and others hurried forward and bowed to him.

Seeing the outstanding younger generations from the three families in front of him, Song Qingming nodded slightly and waved his hand to signal them to stand up.

In addition to Song Yuanfang, the other foundation-building elders in the Song family have also made some progress in their cultivation in recent years.

As the only cultivator with extraordinary spiritual roots in the family, Song Yuanhao has now reached the peak of the eighth level of foundation building. He is only one step away from breaking through to the ninth level of foundation building. It is possible for him to enter the peak realm of foundation building at any time.

Since Song Yuanqian established his foundation, his cultivation speed is not particularly fast in the clan because of his average spiritual talent.

However, as she has been in charge of the family's "Gold Pavilion" over the years, she has never been short of spiritual stones and elixirs. Her cultivation has also broken through to the sixth level of foundation building in an orderly manner. If nothing unexpected happens, Song Yuanqian will definitely be able to advance to the late stage of foundation building in the future.

Among the new generation of the Song family with the surname "Lin", Song Linrui, who has the most outstanding spiritual talent, has not been building his foundation for a long time, but his cultivation has already surpassed several clansmen who built their foundations at about the same time as him.

Although he was less than fifty years old, his cultivation had already broken through the fourth level of foundation building and he became a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

Song Linrui's cultivation speed after building his foundation even surpassed that of Song Yuanli, another double-spiritual root cultivator in the Song family. He has become a benchmark for all the Qi Refining members of the family today.

However, the reason why Song Linrui can cultivate at such a fast speed is not only because of his outstanding spiritual talent, but also because of the strong support of several ancestors of the family.

In recent years, when Song Qingming and Song Qingyu had free time from practicing, they would often take out some time to guide the younger members of the clan who were in the foundation-building stage. Among them, Song Linrui and Song Xuanfeng were the ones who benefited the most.

Because we received accurate information from the sect, we are going to the "Leiyuanhai" immortal cultivation world to participate in the trade fair and we have to go to the East China Sea to take a treasure ship.

When Song Qingming learned the news, he thought of taking a few younger family members with him.

Firstly, it allows these younger generations to go out and see the world. Secondly, when they arrive at the trade fair, they will have a few people around them who can serve them, so they don't have to do everything themselves, and can save a lot of energy in searching for the spiritual objects they need.

After making up his mind, Song Qingming discussed it with Song Yuanfang and finally decided to take Song Yuanqian and the other two to the "Leiyuanhai" cultivation world.

Seeing that Song Yuanqian and the others were already ready, Song Qingming took the list of spiritual objects that Song Yuanfang handed over to him, glanced at it and put it away, then uttered two words lightly.

"set off!"

Not long after, a beam of white light passed through the "Funiu Mountain" mountain protection formation from mid-air, and then went all the way south to the Guyang Mountain where the "Xiaoyao Sect" was located.

Like the Song family, the Xiaoyao Sect also attached great importance to participating in the Leiyuanhai trade fair.

The entire sect was mobilized for this purpose, and almost all the high-level spiritual objects collected in the "Shangong Pavilion" over the years were moved out.

When Song Qingming and his companions arrived at "Guyang Mountain", the cultivators and disciples from "Shangong Pavilion" were still moving spiritual objects to the sect's large flying boat.

After asking Xu Ziyan, Song Qingming learned that it would take a few days before they could set off, so he took Song Yuanhao and the others to stay on "Guyang Mountain" first.

On the night before departure, Song Xinyu, who learned that Song Qingming was going to the "Leiyuanhai" world of immortal cultivation, took Song Linxi to visit him, wanting Song Qingming to take her out to see the world.

In this regard, Song Qingming did not choose to refuse. He immediately nodded and agreed, and let Song Linxi follow him.

Since they are going there by treasure ship from the East China Sea, bringing one more person with them won't cost Song Qingming and the others many spirit stones, so it won't have much impact.

The reason why Song Xinyu asked Song Linxi to go to "Leiyuan Sea" was not only to let her go out and broaden her horizons, but also to take this opportunity to give Song Linxi the chance to follow Song Qingming.

It would allow her to get more familiar with the Song family's fellow cultivators in "Funiu Mountain", and would also allow Song Linxi to have more contact with Song Qingming, the family's Jindan ancestor.

Even if he only gets some verbal guidance, it will be of great help to Song Linxi's future path.

After staying in Guyang Mountain for a few days, Xiaoyao Sect finally moved all the spiritual objects they needed to bring onto the flying boat.

Under the instruction of Bai Yuxian, the Nascent Soul ancestor, the sect's large flying boat loaded with supplies soon left Guyang Mountain and headed eastwards towards the immortal cultivation world in the East China Sea.

This time, in addition to Bai Yuxian, the Nascent Soul ancestor, the "Xiaoyao Sect" also sent a number of cultivators to participate in the "Leiyuanhai" immortal cultivation world trade fair.

Among them were the five Jindan elders of the sect, Song Qingming, Chu Fengping, Zhang Tieyang, Chen Xuanxin, and Yun Nishang, as well as more than forty foundation-building disciples with varying levels of cultivation.

After passing through the "Yunwu Mountain", the flying boat soon entered the territory of Zheng State in the east and stopped outside a market town in the center of Zheng State.

Seeing the arrival of the flying boat of the "Xiaoyao Sect", the two Jindan sects of the Zheng State, the "Minghe Sect" and the "Tianxing Sect", also sent cultivators with spiritual objects to board the flying boat.

Although the "Minghe Sect" and the "Tianxing Sect" belong to the same Zheng State, they have always been at odds with each other and often fight over sect territories and cultivation resources.

The two sides had been fighting for hundreds of years, causing great damage to the entire Zheng State's immortal cultivation world. They had long been incompatible and had accumulated countless hatreds.

In recent years, in order to jointly counterattack the northern demon tribe, Yuanying sects such as "Xiaoyao Sect" and "Tianji Sect" took the initiative to mediate between the two sects, which made them temporarily put aside the hatred in their hearts.

Although the monks of the two sects stopped fighting and made peace, the hatred in their hearts still remained. Even now after boarding the flying boat of the "Xiaoyao Sect", the monks of the "Minghe Sect" and the "Tianxing Sect" did not greet each other when they met.

Seeing this scene, Song Qingming couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The fragile peace between the two sects would probably not last too long. Sooner or later, the two sides would have to fight a war.

Although there is a "Cloud Mountain" between the Song family and the Zheng State, there are still some small paths between the two territories for low-level cultivators to travel.

I don’t know if the Song family’s territory in the west will be implicated when the two sects of Zheng State fight again.

After the monks from the Minghe Sect and the Tianxing Sect came up, the flying boat set off again and headed east, picking up some monks from other sects, and then crossed the Duanyun Mountains and jumped into the vast ocean.

Except for some high-level cultivators in the Jindan stage, most of the foundation-building cultivators on the flying boat were coming to the "East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World" for the first time. Seeing the endless waves of the sea, excitement appeared on everyone's face.

Song Yuanqian took Song Linrui and Song Linxi with them, and they kept circling around on the flying boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery below. After a few days, the three of them became very familiar with each other.

Song Linxi was born in "Guyang Mountain" and grew up in the sect since she was young. Although she was influenced by her master Song Xinyu, she has always had a vague concept of the "Funiu Mountain" family and does not have many feelings for it.

After getting acquainted with Song Linrui, Song Yuanqian and others, and becoming familiar with these fellow cultivators, Song Linxi gained some new insights into his family which was thousands of miles away.

Song Yuanhao, whose cultivation was stuck at the bottleneck of the ninth level of foundation building, did not have much interest in the scenery outside the window. He followed Song Qingming all the time and asked him for some cultivation experience during his free time.

With the growing development of the family, there are more and more cultivators in the clan in recent years. Even though there are several Jindan ancestors such as Song Qingming in charge, there are bound to be some gossips below.

They all started to speculate openly and secretly about who the next Jindan ancestor of the family would be, and chose to establish good relations with him in advance, which would naturally make other people who were not optimistic about it think more about it. Since his cultivation broke through to the late stage of foundation building, Song Yuanhao's cultivation speed has not been particularly smooth. On the contrary, the younger generations of the family, Song Changze and Liu Yuxin, had cultivated to the ninth level of foundation building before him.

After recently learning that Song Changze was about to go into seclusion to form a pill, Song Yuanhao always felt pressured and couldn't help thinking too much about it every time he heard his clansmen mention this matter, which also led to his failure in his recent attempts to break through the bottleneck of the ninth level of foundation building.

Song Yuanhao grew up in "Tuoyun Mountain", a place where many independent cultivators gathered. He had seen a lot of human nature. Although he had been building his foundation for many years, he was still sensitive in his heart and was easily disturbed by the words of others.

After learning about this, Song Qingming chose to take Song Yuanhao away in order to help him calm down, intending to let him stay away from the family for a while and let go of the grudge in his heart.

Although those who practice cultivation have shed their mortal bodies, the growth of their personal mind is ultimately slower than that of their physical body, and it still requires a certain amount of time and experience to slowly polish it.

Even though Song Qingming has been practicing for so many years and his Taoism is much more firm than Song Yuanhao and others, he still can't help but feel sad when he occasionally sees his clansmen and friends leaving him. He can't completely get rid of these emotional ties.

During the more than ten days on the flying boat, when Song Yuanhao asked him about his troubles in cultivation, Song Qingming also patiently guided him on his personal state of mind.

Song Yuanhao didn't feel much about this at first.

But as the flying boat gradually moved away from the "Floating Cloud Mountains", Song Yuanhao gradually felt a sense of relief in his heart, and soon understood the purpose of Song Qingming's teaching him.

After the flying boat stopped on an island called "Windless Island" in the "East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World", Song Yuanhao slowly forgot the pressure that had been accumulated in his heart for many years, and began to get off the flying boat on his own initiative to stroll around the island's market with Song Yuanqian and the others.

"Windless Island" is one of the largest islands close to the open sea in the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world.

This place is a rare and relatively safe place because natural disasters such as beast tides and winds rarely occur here, and it is also near the dangerous open sea.

Therefore, "Windless Island" has also become the largest port in the "East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World" facing other places in the open sea, gathering thousands of treasure ships of all sizes, leading to various islands in the open sea.

There are even high-level fourth-level treasure ships that can help cultivators cross the vast open sea and reach the "Thunder Yuan Sea" cultivation world at the end of the sea.

"Windless Island" does not belong to any one sect, but is jointly managed by many large immortal cultivation sects nearby. Therefore, the number of cultivators coming and going on the island is very mixed.

Not only are there local cultivators and independent cultivators from the major sects of the "East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World", but there are also many foreign cultivators from other immortal cultivation worlds.

Recently, upon learning that the "Lei Yuan Hai" trade fair was being held, the number of foreign cultivators on "Windless Island" has increased exponentially.

However, because there are high-level Nascent Soul cultivators on the island all year round, the safety of cultivators on "Windless Island" is relatively guaranteed compared to other places in the "East China Sea Cultivation World".

After the flying boat arrived at the "Windless Island", it had to wait here for the "Xingchen Gate" monks to meet up, and then transfer to a high-level treasure ship together to continue to the "Leiyuan Sea" immortal cultivation world.

Song Qingming and others settled down in the market on the island, waiting for the cultivators from the "Xingchen Gate" while searching the island for news about a high-level treasure ship that could lead to the "Leiyuan Sea" world of immortal cultivation.

After living in the market for a few days, Zhang Tieyang, who had nothing to do, took the initiative to come to Song Qingming and invited him to go to the market to taste the local delicious spiritual food.

Song Qingming was a greedy person to begin with, and when Zhang Tieyang invited him, he did not refuse too much and quickly agreed. Soon they arrived at the largest restaurant on "Windless Island" together.

Not long after the two of them sat down, several delicious spiritual dishes with good color, aroma and taste were brought up by several maids.

"Senior Brother Song, I have already tasted these dishes yesterday. They are absolutely delicious. We have finally had the opportunity to come here. It would be a pity if we missed it.

I know that you are also a food lover, so I thought of inviting you over today to taste the food together. I hope you won’t be so polite to me, Brother Song.”

"Oh! In that case, I am grateful to Junior Brother Zhang for helping me today. It's a pity that Senior Brother Chu and the others are not available recently, otherwise it would be more fun to have more people drinking and chatting together."

After hearing what Song Qingming said, Zhang Tieyang looked somewhat embarrassed:
"Brother Song, you must be joking. Last year, the Hu family made such a fuss that I lost all the family business that I had accumulated over several decades.

If life hadn't been getting increasingly difficult recently and I couldn't make ends meet, I wouldn't have thought of going to Leiyuan Sea with you guys to earn these few spirit stones.

If Senior Brother Chu and Junior Sister Yun came today, I wouldn't be able to pay for the wine, and we might even be kicked out later."

The Zhang family represented by Zhang Tieyang has been entrenched in the "Iron Immortal Castle" in the northwest of Wei State in recent years. Through years of meticulous operation, they completely squeezed the declining Hu family out of their territory in the past two years.

Now, the Zhang family has truly taken full control of the third-level intermediate spiritual vein, "Iron Immortal Castle".

After the Hu family was squeezed out of the "Iron Immortal Castle", Hu Qingyun brought a group of cultivators from his family to the "Guyang Mountain" last year to cry out.

Hu Qingyun, who was forced into a desperate situation by the Zhang family, was so desperate that he even dug out the ashes of the Hu family members who had died in the battle with the monsters and placed them directly at the sect's mountain gate.

Hu Qingyun and his clansmen blocked the mountain gate for more than half a month, looking determined to fight to the death and not give up until they achieved their goal.

The sect was also in such a bad shape because of the Hu family that they had no choice but to ask Xu Ziyan, who was in charge of the sect's mundane affairs, to come forward and go to "Iron Immortal Castle" again to mediate the matter between the Zhang and Hu families.

In the end, the Zhang family paid tens of thousands of spirit stones to help the Hu family purchase a third-grade lower-grade spirit vein from the sect, and the matter was finally settled.

With the help of the sect, the Hu family moved from "Iron Immortal Castle" to the vicinity of "Guiyunfang".

Zhang Tieyang gritted his teeth and shed a lot of blood. Although he got the "Iron Immortal Castle" legitimately, he was depressed for a while. This time, he found Song Qingming out for a drink and couldn't help but talk to him about this.

Song Qingming had naturally heard about the farce between the Zhang and Hu families a long time ago.

However, Song Qingming has never liked to get involved in these external affairs. When he heard Zhang Tieyang mention this matter again, Song Qingming smiled helplessly on his face.

Seeing that Song Qingming didn't say anything, Zhang Tieyang continued to chatter with him. Under the influence of alcohol, he talked about the grievances between him and the Hu family, and angrily denounced Hu Qingyun and the entire Hu family.

Song Qingming, who was sitting aside enjoying the food and listening to him patiently, smiled and nodded when he heard the words, but still did not say what he thought about it.

"Brother Song, I have seen through some things over the years. The sect clearly promised me that it would give Iron Immortal Castle to my Zhang family to establish a clan.

As a result, after the Hu family made such a fuss, Senior Sister Xu and the others didn't say a word to help me, and instead asked me to pay them spirit stones to help them establish a clan and settle down. What kind of logic is this? "

"Junior Brother Zhang, there are some things that you can't just say casually outside. You've had a little too much to drink today, so I think we should just stop here and go back."

Hearing that Zhang Tieyang's words were getting more and more excessive, Song Qingming couldn't help but change his expression slightly, and took the initiative to remind him.

Seeing that Song Qingming's tone was a little off, Zhang Tieyang seemed to sober up a little, and hurriedly shook his head and bowed to Song Qingming, saying: "Brother Song is right, I was a little drunk and said something wrong today.

I hope Senior Brother Song won’t take offense!”

"Alas! Junior brother, you can't take his drunken words seriously. It's just that there are so many people coming and going here, and I'm doing this for Junior brother Zhang's good. Junior brother, please don't think too much."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tieyang immediately smiled and nodded, then waved his hand and sent out a voice message, calling in a young woman in purple clothes who was guarding the door.

"Yurong, go downstairs to settle the bill and pack two pots of spirit wine to take back later."

After the purple-clothed woman nodded and left, Zhang Tieyang turned around and asked Song Qingming meaningfully, "Senior Brother Song, what do you think of my junior?"

This purple-clothed woman had red lips and white teeth, and was graceful and elegant. Her cultivation was not high, only the second level of foundation building. It seemed that she had not been building the foundation for a long time, and must have succeeded in building the foundation in recent years.

This time, she followed Zhang Tieyang to the "Leiyuan Sea" world of immortal cultivation. When Song Qingming first saw her on the flying boat, he thought she was another one of Zhang Tieyang's wives or concubines.

It was not until Zhang Tieyang introduced her just now that he realized that this girl was actually his direct descendant, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"He is gentle and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament. He can remain so calm in front of you and me. This child has a very good character.

Judging from her age, she should not be very old. She was able to successfully build her foundation so quickly, so she should have at least three spiritual roots. You are so lucky, brother, there will be someone to take over your legacy in the future."

Hearing Song Qingming's praise, Zhang Tieyang couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, "This is the granddaughter of my third son, and she is one of the more promising ones among my younger generations.

My senior brother and I have known each other for more than a hundred years, and we can be considered close friends. Now that our two families are in the same sect, we should visit each other more often.

Today I want to marry Senior Brother Song and marry Yurong to Funiu Mountain. I wonder if Senior Brother Song is willing to facilitate this?"

"Ah! This...

Our two families are not far from each other, so it is not impossible for us to have an alliance. I just don't know which of my descendants Junior Brother Zhang likes. Can you tell me about it first, so that I can think about it." (End of this chapter)
