Qinghe Immortal Clan.

The immortal world of "Donghuang Kingdom", Pingzhou.

"Pingzhou" is located in the southeast of "Donghuang Kingdom". It is a relatively small provincial capital. The strongest immortal cultivation forces in it are only a few Nascent Soul sects.

The "Thunder Cloud Valley" located to the west of Pingzhou is the area controlled by one of the Nascent Soul Sects, the "Five Thunder Sect".

In the early years, the "Five Thunder Sect" also had cultivators who had reached the state of Divine Transformation, and it was once ranked among the top sects in the entire "Eastern Phoenix Country" in the world of immortal cultivation.

However, because tens of thousands of years have passed, after the death of the old ancestor who achieved the state of transformation, there has never been another cultivator who achieved the state of transformation in the sect, and the foundation he left behind has been almost consumed by the disciples of later generations.

However, as an old Nascent Soul sect that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, the "Five Thunder Sect" has long lost its former glory, but its strength still ranks among the top among all the Nascent Soul sects in the entire "Donghuang Xianzhou".

Up to now, there are still five Nascent Soul cultivators in the "Five Thunder Sect", and occasionally it can be ranked among the top ten sects in the "East Phoenix Country", which is considered to be a relatively strong Nascent Soul sect.

On this day, outside a market town outside the "Thunder Cloud Valley", a young man in a green robe strolled to the entrance of the market town.

After his identity was verified by the monk guarding the entrance to the market town, the man in green robe quickly walked into the market town and then came directly to the tallest attic in the middle of the market town.

The man in green robe raised his eyes to the "Wuli Pavilion" sign hanging high in front of him, and strode in.

After speaking a few words with the monk who came to receive him, the man in green robe was soon led to the second-floor hall. Then a man in white who had reached the sixth level of foundation building came to him.

The man in white glanced at the man in green robe sitting in front of him, and feeling the powerful aura emanating from him, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to him with a smile.

"Senior, I am Wu Qiyun, the manager of the Five Thunders Pavilion. May I ask what you want to see us about?"

After seeing the visitor reveal his identity, Song Qingming put down the teacup in his hand, nodded slightly with a smile on his face, and then a palm-sized silver token appeared in his hand, which he sent directly to Wu Qiyun who was not far away.

"This is the token of our sect elders, why is it in the hands of the senior?"

When Wu Qiyun saw the silver token that Song Qingming took out, he recognized at a glance that this was something that only the sect's Jindan elders would hold. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but ask Song Qingming who was standing beside him.

Seeing the surprise on the other party's face, Song Qingming was not surprised. He slowly opened his mouth and briefly recounted how he got this thing.

This silver token was found on the body of the Jindan cultivator when Song Qingming was collecting the divine thunder of heaven and earth in the "Taiyue Lake" of the Song State.

At that time, in addition to the sect elder's token, the other party also had some spiritual objects such as spirit stones, martial arts manuals, etc.

Song Qingming collected all these things. When he passed by Pingzhou on his way to the immortal cultivation world of "Donghuang Kingdom", he came to the "Wu Lei Sect" where that man was, ready to help him return these relics.

After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, Wu Qiyun's face suddenly became more cautious, and then he bowed to him and said:
"Senior, this matter involves a Jindan elder of the sect. My cultivation is too low to make the decision on this matter. Please wait here for a moment while I return to the sect to report something."

"Well! Please help yourself, young friend." Song Qingming waved his hand after hearing that, and lifted the teacup on the table to take a sip.

Seeing this, Wu Qiyun called another waiter from downstairs to help entertain Song Qingming, and he himself quickly left the "Wuli Pavilion" with the silver token.

After half an incense stick of time had passed, Song Qingming, who had already had several cups of spiritual tea treated by the waiter beside him, was about to get up and walk around.

A handsome man in a black robe suddenly came up from the lobby downstairs with Wu Qiyun and several others.

The man in black robe walking in front glanced at Song Qingming in front of him with a sharp gaze, and without saying much, he took out the silver token in his hand.

"Is this something you sent back?"

Feeling the aura emanating from the person who came, which was obviously not that of a Jindan cultivator, Song Qingming showed a little surprise on his face, and quickly stood up and walked forward to bow to him.

"Greetings, senior!"

“What you said is correct. This item was obtained by me accidentally several years ago. I happened to pass by your clan’s territory today, so I took the initiative to send it back.

Apart from this token, the rest are all here, please have a look!"

After Song Qingming finished speaking, a light flashed in his hand and he took out all the relics in the storage bag obtained from "Taiyue Lake" and quickly delivered them to the black-robed man and others.

Before the death of the elder of the "Five Thunder Sect", he was just an early Jindan cultivator.

Before Song Qingming came, he thought that returning the other party's relics was not a big deal. He never expected that this matter would actually alarm an Yuanying ancestor of the "Five Thunder Sect", which really surprised him.

After searching through these spiritual objects, the man in black robe suddenly set his eyes on a somewhat broken jade pendant magic weapon.

"Longxi Pei is really the relic of Junior Brother Chen. I didn't expect that he had died hundreds of years ago!"

The elder named Chen who died in "Taiyue Lake" was named Chen Mengtang. He and the black-robed man in front of him, Zhao Mengyang, from the "Five Thunder Sect" were direct brothers from the same school.

Not only that, Chen Mengtang is also a descendant of Master Zhao Mengyang. When Zhao Mengyang had not yet broken through the Nascent Soul realm, he and Chen Mengtang also had a very good relationship in the sect.

Hundreds of years ago, after Chen Mengtang went out traveling and disappeared, Zhao Mengyang was ordered by his master to lead the monks in the sect to the Floating Cloud Mountains to look for him.

However, because he didn't know the exact location where Chen Mengtang disappeared, Zhao Mengyang had been searching for him in the Floating Cloud Mountains for several years but still had no results. Recently, he had no choice but to turn back.

Hundreds of years had passed, and there was no news of Chen Mengtang, and this matter had always been a source of worry between the master and the disciple.

Before his death, Master Zhao Mengyang did not forget to instruct Zhao Mengyang, who had already condensed his Nascent Soul, to find the remains of his junior brother Chen Mengtang in the future.

However, although his cultivation had broken through the Nascent Soul stage, he was still willing but powerless to do anything about this matter. He sent his disciples to the Floating Cloud Mountain range to inquire about the news several times, but he got nothing.

It was not until now that Song Qingming sent back Chen Mengtang's relics that Zhao Mengyang finally got news of this fellow apprentice who had been missing for hundreds of years.

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Zhao Mengyang felt a sense of emotion in his heart. He was finally able to fulfill his master's instructions.

Although Song Qingming had already described in detail how he found Chen Mengtang's remains when he returned the relics, Zhao Mengyang still asked Song Qingming in detail in person.

In this regard, Song Qingming, who had a clear conscience, naturally did not hide anything. He patiently told everyone what had happened in detail and also told them the location where Chen Mengtang's remains were buried.

After all, Chen Mengtang’s death happened hundreds of years ago, and Song Qingming was probably not even born at that time. No matter how suspicious the other party was, they would never suspect him.

After finding out the whole story, Zhao Mengyang nodded slightly and put away all of Chen Mengtang's relics.

“Back then, I promised Master that I would retrieve the remains of my junior brother and place them in the sect’s cemetery.

My dear friend Song, you have traveled thousands of miles to return the relics of our sect’s elders to the “Thunder Cloud Valley”, which has indeed fulfilled a wish that I have kept in my heart for many years.

Both I and the sect should remember this kindness.

I wonder if you have any requests on this trip, please tell me. As long as it is convenient for me, I will repay you with my gratitude!"

As Chen Mengtang is the Jindan elder of the Yuanying sect "Five Thunder Sect", his status should not be too low. Before sending back his relics this time, Song Qingming naturally thought that the other party would take out spiritual objects to reward him.

However, at the beginning Song Qingming just thought that he could get some spirit stone rewards from it, but he didn't expect that this matter would alarm a Nascent Soul cultivator to come in person.

Hearing what Zhao Mengyang said, Song Qingming knew that the other party would not be too stingy. After thinking for a moment, he bowed to Zhao Mengyang not far away and said slowly:
“To be honest, although I am practicing in the Floating Cloud Mountains, I am also very interested in the way of thunder and have always wanted to find something that can carry and contain the divine thunder of heaven and earth.

I wonder if your sect has similar magic weapons. I would like to ask for one, or I can buy one with spirit stones."

Ever since he practiced the "Heaven-Devouring Thunder Controlling Art", because the art requires devouring and refining the divine thunders of heaven and earth, Song Qingming has been wanting to find a magic weapon for himself over the years that would allow him to store these "divine thunders of heaven and earth" at any time.

Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to swallow and refine the "Divine Thunder of Heaven and Earth" every time you find it in the wild.

Last time at "Taiyue Lake", when Song Qingming was refining the divine thunder he had just obtained in his body, he was suddenly attacked by Ma Wuchen. If it weren't for Song Qingyu's help in blocking the opponent for a while, I'm afraid all his efforts would have been wasted.

However, there are not many sects in the world of immortal cultivation that practice thunder-attributed techniques. Song Qingming has been asking around for a long time over the years but has not gotten any results.

This time when he arrived at the "Five Thunder Sect" which was good at controlling thunder techniques, he couldn't help but try his luck to see if he could get what he wanted here.

"Oh! It turns out that you have also practiced thunder-attributed techniques. No wonder I sensed a faint aura of thunder and fire on you when you first came in.

Although I don't know what you want from the spiritual object that can hold the divine thunder of heaven and earth, it is indeed difficult to find, and I don't have such a spiritual object in my hands now."

After Zhao Mengyang finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then continued:
“However, since you have taken the initiative to ask me for this, I have heard that a senior brother in the sect has a similar magic weapon, but I cannot guarantee whether I can get this item from him.

If you insist on having this item, I can try my best. If it doesn't work, I can only replace it with another spiritual item I can give you. Do you think this is feasible?"

"Thank you for your help, senior!"

After hearing what Zhao Mengyang said, Song Qingming agreed without any hesitation, and then bowed to Zhao Mengyang in front of him with a happy look on his face.

Three days later, a ray of green light suddenly fell from a high mountain thousands of miles away from the Thunder Cloud Valley. Song Qingming, standing on the top of the mountain, glanced around, and suddenly exerted force on his empty left hand, gathering a ray of white lightning, which kept making a crackling sound in his hand.

A moment later, a flash of light suddenly appeared beside Song Qingming, and a silver copper lamp emerged out of thin air. After the silver lamp appeared, seven rays of light of different colors immediately flashed on it, instantly illuminating the surroundings with a variety of colors.

After a while, the silver bronze lamp, under Song Qingming's spell control, emitted a ray of colorful spiritual light, pulling the white divine thunder in Song Qingming's hand into the bronze lamp.

“Haha! It really works. The Five Thunder Sect is worthy of being a Nascent Soul Sect that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. This trip is really not in vain!”

Seeing that the originally very agitated white lightning immediately became calm and docile after entering the silver copper lamp, Song Qingming's face immediately showed a hint of joy.

This silver copper lamp is called the "Seven-Colored Thunder Lamp". It is a very rare third-grade top-grade magic weapon. It has the function of controlling the divine thunder of heaven and earth. Its power is much stronger than the "Thunder Bead" on Song Qingming's body.

The "Seven-Colored Lightning Lamp" in Song Qingming's hand was the reward he received from Zhao Mengyang after waiting outside the "Thunder Cloud Valley" for a few days.

Song Qingming, who had been trying with a glimmer of hope, did not expect that Zhao Mengyang would actually help him exchange for this spiritual object. In the end, he did not even take a single spiritual stone from Song Qingming, but directly rewarded him with this magic weapon.

You should know that a top-grade third-level magic weapon on the market costs at least 30,000 to 40,000 spirit stones, and this "Seven-Colored Lightning Lamp" is an extremely rare magic weapon.

Song Qingming was somewhat surprised that Zhao Mengyang generously gifted him such a valuable spiritual object, but he also felt the generosity of these Nascent Soul cultivators from major sects.

Even though he had left "Thunder Cloud Valley" for a long time, Song Qingming still felt extremely emotional. He didn't know if he had become accustomed to being poor over the years.

No matter what, Song Qingming did gain a lot from this somewhat unintentional trip to the "Five Thunder Sect".

Not only did he use some of Chen Mengtang's worthless relics to exchange for the "Seven-Colored Lightning Lamp", a magical weapon that was very useful to him, but he was also able to get acquainted with Yuanying cultivators like Zhao Mengyang and establish a good relationship with them.

Maybe if I encounter something in the future and need help, I can still use the relationship between Zhao Mengyang and the "Five Thunder Sect".

Thinking of this, Song Qingming's face showed a little more smile.

Then he put away the "Seven-Colored Lightning Lamp" in his hand, took out the flying boat and jumped on it.

After a while, Song Qingming, who was standing on the "Phantom Boat", turned into a white light and disappeared on the mountains.

Nanzhou, the outer sea.

On the vast and boundless ocean, a small boat, only five or six meters long, is sailing alone on the sea. From a distance, it looks like a fallen leaf floating in the water.

A woman in a black dress was standing alone at the bow, staring blankly at the endless sea in the distance.

Not far behind the woman, there was a middle-aged man who was trying to cast a spell to control the rudder. While carefully controlling the direction of the boat, he looked at the woman standing in front of him with some confusion.

It was not until the boat approached a huge island that the middle-aged man carefully reminded, "Senior Li, we are almost at Yuxuan Island."

After hearing the middle-aged man's voice, the woman in black turned around and threw a bag of spirit stones to him.

"sorry to bother you!"

After the black-clad woman finished speaking, she immediately turned into a streak of light and left the boat. She then headed straight for an island not far away and soon disappeared into the air.

"It's strange that he always talked nonstop when he came here before, but his temperament has changed so much in just a few decades!"

Looking at the direction where the black-clothed woman went away, the middle-aged man shook his head and muttered to himself, then put away the spirit stone he had just received in his hand, turned around and left the vicinity of the island.

Yuxuan Island's "Taixu Gate", in a stone pavilion on the top of the mountain.

Liu Yang, dressed in a white robe, was sitting at the stone table in the pavilion, holding a bamboo scroll and looking at it carefully.

On the other side of the stone table, a young woman in white was looking down at the chessboard filled with chess pieces on the stone table, with an embarrassment on her face.

Suddenly, a black light flew over from a distance and landed outside the stone pavilion, revealing a figure that Liu Yang was somewhat familiar with.

"Senior Sister Li! You're back."

Seeing Li Xuanyi walking over not far away, Liu Yang immediately dropped the bamboo slips in his hand and ran towards her with a happy look on his face.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyi smiled slightly and stepped forward to salute Liu Yang in return.

"Junior Brother Liu, how are you? Is this your new junior sister?"

Seeing Li Xuanyi looking at the woman in white beside her, Liu Yang quickly introduced: "Senior sister, this is Junior Sister Jin Yao. She only came to the mountain 20 years ago. Senior sister has never seen her before."

"Meet Senior Sister Li!"

Seeing Jin Yao with a delicate face, and then looking at Liu Yang beside her, Li Xuanyi smiled and nodded slightly to them.

"I haven't been back for such a long time, and I didn't expect that the sect would have another junior sister. I came here in a hurry, so I hope that junior sister won't despise this small gift!"

After Li Xuanyi finished speaking, he took out a rather exquisite hairpin from his body and gave it directly to Jin Yao, which immediately made the other person's face look more delighted.

"Thank you, senior sister!"

Seeing Jin Yao grinning from ear to ear, Liu Yang immediately stepped forward and said to Li Xuanyi:
"Senior sister hasn't returned to the sect for such a long time, Master must have missed you so much. He was still talking about you in front of me a few days ago. I didn't expect that Senior sister would really come back today."

When Li Xuanyi heard Liu Yang mention his master "Master Lingxu", the smile on his face froze immediately, and he asked, "Where is the master now? Is he doing well these years?"

"Master is not in the cave right now. It seems that he went to the foot of the mountain to fish. Senior sister, wait a moment. I will take you there right away."

After Liu Yang finished speaking, he took out his flying boat and carried Li Xuanyi on it to fly through the "Mountain Protection Array" high in the sky. After a while, they arrived at the coast at a corner of the "Yuxuan Island" below.

As soon as the flying boat landed on a flat ground, Li Xuanyi saw a simple old man wearing a bamboo hat sitting quietly on a white reef not far away, holding a long bamboo pole and looking at the water not far away.

"Junior Brother Liu, thank you for leading the way. There's nothing to do here, so you can go back first!"

"It's only been a few decades since we last met, how come Senior Sister is as polite to me as Senior Brother Song? When we were practicing together at the foot of the mountain, we talked about everything. How could Senior Sister be so polite to me?"

Feeling that Li Xuanyi's attitude towards him seemed to have changed a lot after she came back this time, Liu Yang, who was a little slow to realize it, slowly showed a hint of confusion on his face.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyi quickly forced out a smile and replied, "I have been practicing in seclusion these years and have not had time to come back to see you. I do feel a little unfamiliar.

Junior Brother Liu, please don’t be angry with me. I came here this time to bring you something good.”

After saying that, a spiritual light flashed in Li Xuanyi's hand, and a very exquisite third-level medium-grade talisman appeared, which he handed to Liu Yang.

"I drew this talisman myself a few years ago. It is a rare item, so I will give it to you, Junior Brother!"

"Sister, what are you doing? I dare not accept such a valuable item. I have been following Master for many years and have never lacked spiritual items. Please take it back!"

Seeing that the talisman that Li Xuanyi took out as a gift was quite valuable, Liu Yang quickly waved his hand to refuse, but Li Xuanyi ignored him and still stuffed the talisman into Liu Yang's hand.

"By the way, Junior Brother Liu, you just mentioned Junior Brother Song, but has he come to the sect recently?"

Hearing Li Xuanyi's question, Liu Yang quickly shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Song has never been to the sect. I met him a few years ago when I went to Leiyuanhai with my fourth senior brother to attend the trade fair.

At that time, Junior Brother Song specifically asked me to say hello to Senior Sister on his behalf, and told her to send a message to him if she needed any help.

Junior Brother Song is truly a genius in cultivation. When I met him, he had already reached the peak of the eighth level of the Golden Core. I estimate that if nothing unexpected happens, he should have broken through to the ninth level of the Golden Core by now."

"Oh! He has actually cultivated to the ninth level of the Golden Core so quickly. You are right. With his spiritual root talent, he can actually cultivate faster than us. Master really did not make a mistake in his judgment."

Li Xuanyi smiled and nodded. After bowing and saying goodbye to Liu Yang, he turned and walked towards the location of "Taoist Lingxu".

Seeing Li Xuanyi coming over and sitting quietly beside him, "Taoist Lingxu" who was holding a fishing rod in his hand turned his head to look at her and quickly returned to the surface of the sea.

The old man and the young man just sat quietly on the white reef, letting the sea breeze blow the huge waves to hit the bottom of the reef, but neither of them reacted at all.

It was not until a long time later that the fishing rod in the hand of "Taoist Lingxu" finally responded. With a swing of the bamboo pole, a big fish more than one foot tall jumped out of the water and fell directly into a bamboo basket that had been prepared not far from him.

"Why, if I don't let them pass the message to you this time, you really don't plan to come back to see an old man like me?" (End of this chapter)
