Qinghe Immortal Clan.

However, in order to restrain the opponent, Song Qingming and several puppets around him were also seriously injured, and even several of their limbs were broken.

Fortunately, as long as the core part of a puppet is not damaged, it can recover much faster than a cultivator, and it only needs to consume more high-level spiritual materials.

And these things for repairing puppets just happen to be available in the "Taixu Sect".

Upon learning that Song Qingming needed these high-level materials, Liu Yang quickly helped to deliver them to him, which saved Song Qingming a lot of trouble.

It was not until two months later that a voice transmission flew into the cave, causing Song Qingming, who was healing his injuries, to stop and come to the cave of his master, "Master Lingxu".

Two months passed in a flash, and "Taoist Lingxu" finally found the Nascent Soul opportunity that Song Qingming wanted to obtain, so he sent a letter to invite him over.

Seeing Song Qingming walk into the cave, "Taoist Lingxu" who was sitting nearby sipping tea immediately waved to him with a smile, and then poured him a cup of more fragrant spiritual tea.

"I always tasted the tea you brought me before, and I can't let you suffer too much. This is a rare tea I found when I was traveling in Zhongyuan Continent. You can try it too!"

Song Qingming nodded when he heard this, and without saying anything more, he picked up the spiritual tea on the table, put it to his mouth and smelled it carefully.

After savoring the unique fragrance of the tea, Song Qingming slowly poured it into his mouth, nodded with satisfaction and said:
"This tea tastes bitter at first but then becomes sweet, and the aftertaste is as sweet as if it has gone through a hundred years of vicissitudes. I never thought that there would be such a magical tea with such a unique taste in the world. Today really broadened my horizons.

If I have the chance, I will definitely learn from Master, go out more often, and taste the flavors of the world, so that my practice in this life will not be in vain! "

"It's good that you have such understanding. There is more than one place in this world called Donghuang Xianzhou. When you reach a certain level of cultivation, you should broaden your horizons and experience all kinds of things in the world so that you can practice better!"

After adding another cup of spiritual tea to Song Qingming's cup, "Taoist Lingxu" slowly continued:

"I came here today to tell you a piece of news. I have found a chance for you to become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

But this opportunity may be a little dangerous. I don't know if you dare to accept it now. I want to hear your thoughts before making a decision."

"I don't know what the opportunity is, please tell me frankly, Master!"

During the days of retreat and recuperation, Song Qingming had been wondering in his heart what kind of spiritual object for forming a baby would be his next reward from his master.

Now, after hearing what his master "Taoist Lingxu" said about the opportunity of Nascent Soul, Song Qingming's face suddenly showed a bit more anticipation, and he quickly asked with a smile on his face.

Seeing that Song Qingming was a little anxious, "Lingxu Taoist" nodded slightly after tasting a cup of spiritual tea, and immediately put down the teacup in his hand and continued to speak:
"Gathering the spirit in the heart of the elixir, tempering the elixir with vital energy, transforming the fetus into the Nascent Soul, and achieving enlightenment through thunder tribulation. These are the key steps to breaking through the Nascent Soul, and you should know them all.

Many cultivators in ancient and modern times who have been blocked from the path to the Nascent Soul have failed at the stage of transformation from the fetus to the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul opportunity that I am going to tell you about is somewhat related to this. If it succeeds, it should be easier for you to pass this level when you form your Nascent Soul in the future than for others.

. "

If a Jindan cultivator wants to break through to the Yuanying realm, he must first absorb and accumulate enough magic power in his Dantian, then use it to refine the Jindan, and finally break the Dantai into a Yuanying and survive the thunder tribulation before he can achieve the Yuanying path!

For most Jindan cultivators, the first two points require a lot of time, but they are relatively not that difficult.

As long as you hone your magic power to a certain level, you will be able to become proficient with practice. If that doesn't work, you can also use some spiritual objects to assist in forming a fetus, which will help the cultivator save some energy when breaking through.

As for the stage of transforming the fetus into the Nascent Soul, since there are not many spiritual objects in the world of immortal cultivation to provide assistance, it mainly depends on the cultivator's own experience and perseverance, and the difficulty is relatively much higher.

In the world of immortal cultivation, the reason why most cultivators fail in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is basically because they are blocked at this most critical step.

Moreover, even if the first two steps fail, the impact on the cultivator is relatively small, and he will generally recover slowly after ten to twenty years.

Once a cultivator chooses to break the elixir and transform into an infant, there is no way back. If one cannot successfully transform from a fetus into an infant, the golden elixir in his body will inevitably be damaged.

If one is lucky, it will take at least several decades to recover. If one is unlucky, the golden elixir may be severely damaged, causing one's own cultivation level to fall. Even if one spends a lot of time recovering, it will be difficult for one to have the chance to reach the Nascent Soul level due to the limitation of lifespan.

The opportunity that "Taoist Lingxu" found for Song Qingming was a "Heart Refining Tower" located in Yuanzhou, the immortal cultivation world of "Donghuang Country".

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are many places where the fetal membranes on the outer interface of the world collapsed due to the great battles among ancient powerful cultivators, and they were invaded by the strong wind and sky fire from outside the world.

This "Heart Refining Tower" located in Yuanzhou is a sealing formation used by ancient monks to repair the fetal membrane.

Because the tower absorbs a large amount of extraterrestrial fire all year round, a natural extraterrestrial "sky fire pool" is formed.

Because these extraterrestrial fires contain a poisonous substance that can make cultivators fall into an illusion, ordinary Jindan cultivators will soon enter the "heavenly fire illusion" as long as they step into the fire pool.

In this "Heavenly Fire Fantasy Realm", no matter what the cultivator does, he will feel as if it is very real, even if he is practicing or breaking through a realm.

If Song Qingming could enter the "Heavenly Fire Illusion" and try to condense the Nascent Soul, he would be able to directly experience the real process of impacting the Nascent Soul, which would definitely be of great help to him in breaking through the Nascent Soul realm in the future.

Moreover, because they are in an illusion, even if the formation of the infant fails, the cultivator himself will not suffer any losses.

However, one dangerous point is that the poisonous extraterrestrial fire in the "Sky Fire Pool" can cause great harm to the cultivator's body.

It is not a big problem for a Jindan cultivator to stay there for a short period of time, but once he is trapped in the illusion of the "Heavenly Fire Illusion" for a long time and fails to come out in time, his body will easily be harmed by the extraterrestrial fire.

Some unlucky people who don't have strong wills may even be trapped in the illusion and lose their lives.

This is also the dangerous part that "Taoist Lingxu" mentioned.

After explaining the ins and outs of this opportunity, "Taoist Lingxu" explained to Song Qingming: "If a Jindan cultivator can enter the Refining Heart Tower and come out successfully, it can generally increase the chance of forming a fetus by about 20% in the future.

Your eldest senior brother Jinglong and fourth senior brother Xingyun both entered the Heart Refining Tower for training in the past. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask them.

However, although this opportunity is good, it also has risks.

If you are really trapped in the tower and cannot get out, even if your master is outside, it will be difficult to save your life. You must think about these things first.

There is no rush for this matter, you can think about it first and then reply to me."

As soon as "Taoist Lingxu" finished speaking, Song Qingming immediately stood up and bowed to him, then replied with a firm face:
"Thank you for your reminder, Master. I have made up my mind and will go to the Mind Refining Pagoda with you.

Even if entering there to train would put my life in danger, I don't want to miss this opportunity easily. I believe I can make it through!"

After practicing for so many years, Song Qingming has experienced life and death many times. Naturally, he understands that most opportunities in the world are not so easy to obtain. This extremely rare opportunity to form a baby requires cultivators to take risks in order to gain something.

After the last communication with his master "Taoist Lingxu", Song Qingming has gradually let go of his thoughts and is no longer entangled in the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Since I came here just for a chance to reach Nascent Soul stage, I might as well be more open-minded and give it my all.

Back then, the Song family was just a small Qi-refining family, but they have slowly developed to where they are today. Even if I am really gone, with younger generations like Qingyu and Yuanfang around, the family should be able to continue smoothly.

He has been able to bring his family to where it is today, becoming the number one immortal cultivation family dominating the northeast of Wei State. He has already lived up to the trust placed in him by his family elders.

As for future events, he cannot take care of them for the rest of his life.

Just as Master "Taoist Lingxu" said, all we need to do is "be firm in our determination and do our best".

Seeing that Song Qingming made a decision so quickly, "Taoist Lingxu" smiled slightly, didn't say much, and poured a cup of spiritual tea for Song Qingming beside him.
-
Three days later, at the mountain gate of "Taixu Gate".

Song Qingming arrived here early in the morning. Seeing that it was still quite early, he looked at the bluestone beside him and found a clean place to sit cross-legged.

After agreeing with his master "Master Lingxu" to go to the "Mind Refining Tower" for training, Song Qingming was not too nervous about it.

Sitting on the bluestone, he was not affected by the chirping of birds in the surrounding bamboo forest. He quickly calmed his mind and entered into meditation.

Seeing Song Qingming sitting on the bluestone like a wooden sculpture, motionless, the birds around him flew towards him curiously.

After circling for a while, seeing that the figure below was motionless, one of the birds was so bold as to land on him.

Seeing their companions jumping around above Song Qingming's head and nothing happening, the birds in the sky also became bolder.

After a while, more than a dozen birds landed on Song Qingming's shoulders, head, and the bluestone beside him, and surrounded him, chirping non-stop.

Even though there was an extremely noisy sound in his ears, Song Qingming, who was sitting there, remained unmoved like a piece of bluestone.

It was not until half an hour later that a figure landed beside Song Qingming, scaring all the flying birds away and disappearing.

"Junior Brother Song, you really don't pick places for your cultivation. You can calm your mind even in such a noisy place. No wonder Master always says that I am not as good as you in cultivation and comprehension."

"Haha! The so-called meditation does not necessarily mean closing off one's five senses.

As long as you focus on one thing, you can ignore all the distractions around you. This is actually not difficult. You can do it if you try more."

After hearing Song Qingming's answer, Liu Yang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's not that I haven't tried it, but I still feel that it's easier to enter a state of meditation if I find a quiet place. It seems that I will never be able to catch up with you in terms of cultivation and comprehension in this lifetime, so let's take it slow!"

Hearing this, Song Qingming smiled and nodded, saying: "It's just that everyone has different ways of practicing. Brother, you are flattering me. My spiritual roots and talents are average, so I can only work harder on practicing.

I wonder why you came here today, brother? Are you going to go to the Heart Refining Tower with me to train?"

"Haha! Junior Brother Song guessed wrong this time. I can't enter the Heart Refining Tower to practice just because I want to.

Moreover, my current cultivation level is only at the late Golden Core stage, and there is still some distance before I can reach the Nascent Soul stage. It won’t be of much help to me to enter the Refining Heart Tower to practice now.

I came here just because I heard that my junior brother was going to go in for training, so I asked Master for a favor and went with you to see what was going on. If I have the opportunity to go in in the future, it would be helpful to have some experience."

The "Heart Refining Tower" is located in the territory of Yuanzhou. That place is under the jurisdiction of the "Demon Suppression Palace", one of the three major sects in the "Donghuang Kingdom" immortal cultivation world. It is naturally impossible for ordinary people to enter and practice casually.

Through inquiring with his fourth senior brother Zheng Xingyun in the past few days, Song Qingming also roughly learned some information about the "Mind Refining Tower". He knew that his master "Taoist Lingxu" had actually spent a lot of effort to ensure that Song Qingming had the opportunity to enter the "Mind Refining Tower" for training.

After hearing Liu Yang's explanation, Song Qingming instantly understood and nodded quickly.

"Brother is already an inner sect disciple, so he will have the opportunity to go there in the future!"

As an inner disciple of the "Taixu Sect", Liu Yang's cultivation speed is actually not slower than Song Qingming, and he will definitely be able to reach the Nascent Soul realm in the future.

Going to the "Mind Refining Tower" with Song Qingming and the others at this time is also a way for him to prepare for a rainy day. Maybe he will have the opportunity to use it someday in the future.

Just as Song Qingming and the other were talking, a golden auspicious cloud flew over from afar and stopped beside them.

"Come up quickly!"

Hearing the words of the master "Taoist Lingxu" above the auspicious cloud, Song Qingming and Liu Yang hurriedly strode forward. Soon the three of them turned into a golden light and left the place.

Yuanzhou is located in the southwest corner of the immortal cultivation world of "Donghuang Kingdom", not too far from the border of Nanzhou where "Taixu Sect" is located.

Under the personal guidance of their master, Taoist Lingxu, a divine cultivator, Song Qingming and his companions took less than half a month to cross the entire Nanzhou coast and enter the Yuanzhou territory.

Yuanzhou is a relatively large continent among the thirteen continents in the immortal cultivation world of "Donghuang Kingdom". It is controlled by the "Dangmo Palace", a very powerful top sect of "Donghuang Kingdom".

Although there are no more godsend cultivators in the "Dangmo Palace", its reputation and strength are lower than those of the two godsend sects, the "Xianyuan Sect" and the "Tianyu Sect".

However, the last generation of their ancestor who achieved the state of Divine Transformation passed away less than a thousand years ago, and tens of thousands of years ago, there were senior cultivators who ascended to the upper realm. The sect's foundation is far beyond that of an ordinary Nascent Soul sect.

Although the "Dangmo Palace" is not a Shenhua sect, there are still more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect.

This alone has already made the "Dangmo Palace" surpass the other ten Nascent Soul sects in the "Donghuang Kingdom" in terms of strength, and has firmly established itself as one of the three top sects.

After entering Yuanzhou, they flew north for another three or four days and finally arrived at the foot of a mountain that towered into the clouds.

Arriving here, "Taoist Lingxu" stopped, then used a secret method to send a letter into the "Mountain Protection Array" not far away, and soon three monks came out to greet him.

"Greetings, senior!"

All three of them were Nascent Soul cultivators, and the weakest one had already reached the sixth level of Nascent Soul. After seeing the "Taoist Lingxu" in front of Song Qingming and the others, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted him.

Seeing this, "Taoist Lingxu" nodded slightly and said:

"I am a recluse and shouldn't bother you all. I came to the Demon Palace today just to ask for a favor. I hope you don't mind."

"Juniors don't dare!"

"A few months ago, Senior and Senior Chen fought a battle to slay the demons. We have heard that the two seniors did not hesitate to help the cultivation world to eliminate the disaster, which is also a move that benefits the people.

As a righteous sect, our Demon-Slaying Palace should go forward to eliminate demons and defend the way. It's a pity that our cultivation level is too low to be of any help. We can only do some small things for you, seniors.

Please don't be polite, senior, and follow me!"

After some polite exchanges, one of them waved his hand and took the initiative to open the "mountain protection formation" behind him. Then he led everyone to a stone tower on the top of the mountain that was locked with dozens of iron chains.

The stone tower in front of me stands high on the top of the mountain. It has already passed through the clouds above my head and I can’t see how high it is.

Through the thick clouds, Song Qingming could vaguely see flashes of lightning in the sky from time to time, illuminating the nearby gloomy clouds into daylight.

Seeing this scene, Song Qingming and Liu Yang beside him immediately recognized that this should be the location of the "Heart Refining Tower".

"Please wait for a moment, senior!"

The three Yuanying elders of the "Demon Slaying Palace" bowed and saluted, then immediately flashed into the air. Then the three of them stood in different places and each released a ray of spiritual light towards themselves.

After the spiritual light gathered together in the air, it quickly formed a special symbol, and then was directly imprinted on the "Mind Refining Tower" not far away.

Not long after, a big door slowly opened, revealing a red color inside.

Just by seeing the red flame from afar, Song Qingming felt a burning sensation coming towards him, which made him feel excited.

"Brother Liu, I have something I want to entrust to you.

If anything happens to me in there, please help me send these things back to Funiu Mountain in the Fuyun Mountains and give them to my people!"

After saying that, Song Qingming took out a storage bag from his waist and handed it solemnly to Liu Yang who was standing beside him.

Before coming to the "Mind Refining Tower", Song Qingming had already sent a letter to his family, informing Song Qingyu and others about his upcoming adventure in cultivation.

In order to prevent his belongings from being destroyed by the heavenly fire in the tower if something happened to him, before entering the tower, he took out the clan leader's token he had been carrying with him and some spiritual objects that he had no use for in the tower and gave them to Liu Yang.

Facing Song Qingming's personal entrustment, Liu Yang quickly took the storage bag, smiled and nodded to Song Qingming:
"Junior brother, just go in and relax. I'll wait for you to come out!"

Seeing this, Song Qingming bowed again to his master "Master Lingxu", and then with his nod of agreement, he turned into a ray of green light and entered the "Mind Refining Tower" not far away, whose door had been opened.

After Song Qingming went in, the three Nascent Soul elders of the "Demon Slaying Palace" in the air stopped casting spells, closed the door of the "Mind Refining Tower", and fell from the air.

"Senior, we will be guarding the foot of the mountain for the next six months. If there is anything, please let me know." After the three of them bowed to "Taoist Lingxu", they flashed away.

After entering the "Heart Refining Tower", Song Qingming soon found himself deep in a sea of ​​flames. He quickly cast a spell to release a protective shield to block the high temperature around him, which made him feel a little better.

After taking a quick look around, Song Qingming quickly spotted a stone platform in mid-air that was emitting blazing flames, and then he flew directly to the platform.

"This should be the Skyfire Pond!"

Seeing that the flames in the middle of the stone platform were much more fierce than those around it, and that outer fire from the top of the tower occasionally fell into it, Song Qingming quickly confirmed that that should be the place where he would practice, and without much hesitation, he strode in.

After passing through the flames outside, Song Qingming suddenly found himself in a void, and the raging flames around him suddenly disappeared.

Seeing this, Song Qingming also realized that he should have entered the "Heavenly Fire Illusion" and sat down cross-legged with peace of mind.
-
Floating Cloud Mountains, Wei State's "Funiu Mountains".

Song Qingyu was standing by the window on the third floor of "Huixian Pavilion", staring blankly at the scenery outside the window. Suddenly, she heard hurried footsteps behind her, and then Song Yuanfang, dressed in green, came to her.

"Meet the great-aunt!"

"Yuan Fang, I have to go out to look for some spiritual objects recently. It may take me one or two months to come back. I will leave the housework to you!
Just keep me informed of my departure, don’t tell anyone else so they don’t think too much about it!”

Hearing that Song Qingyu was suddenly leaving, Song Yuanfang was slightly stunned and couldn't help but ask:
"Now that our family is well staffed, if your great-aunt needs something, why not ask us to buy it for you, so you don't have to worry about it."

Song Qingyu heard this, smiled and shook his head gently, saying: "I'm going out for more than just these, I also have to take care of some things by the way, so don't ask too much.

Once things are done, I will come back early."

"Oh! Grandmother, do you want to tell Grandfather Siyuan about this?"

"My sister-in-law is still in seclusion refining the elixir. If there is nothing important, don't disturb her at this time. If I still don't come back within half a year, you can give this letter to her.

Remember, this letter must not be opened in advance, so as not to affect my sister-in-law's retreat to make the elixir."

After Song Qingyu finished speaking, he handed a letter that he had prepared long ago to Song Yuanfang.

"Don't worry, grandma. Yuan Fang understands!"

Seeing Song Qingyu's serious expression, Song Yuanfang stood there in silence for a moment, nodded heavily in response, took the letter from her hand, turned around and left Huixian Pavilion. (End of this chapter)
