Qinghe Immortal Clan.

After the magic power in his dantian was ready, Song Qingming did not hesitate any longer and directly urged the magic power to wrap around his natal golden elixir.

The so-called "transforming the fetus into an infant!" means that the original golden elixir in the cultivator's body can be broken into pieces and reborn, transforming into an original infant.

At this point, the cultivator will be able to break through the bottleneck of the Golden Core realm and step directly into the Nascent Soul stage.

As the changes in the dantian in his body continued to come, Song Qingming also clearly felt the constant changes in his own natal golden elixir.

The golden elixir, which was entangled by his own magic power, suddenly began to grow larger in his dantian.
Then, a dazzling golden light shone from the golden elixir of his life, not only making Song Qingming's dantian in his body extremely bright, the golden light also penetrated his body and turned the flames around him golden.

At this point, Song Qingming had almost completely adapted to the tremendous pain brought about by "Fetus Transformation into Nascent Soul!", and the expression on his face even looked a little better.

However, the most difficult part of the "fetus to Nascent Soul" stage is not just this. Whether you can successfully transform into a Nascent Soul is the key to success or failure.

As the natal golden elixir in his body continued to grow larger, Song Qingming also clearly felt that the appearance of the golden elixir began to change differently, from the original smooth spherical shape to become uneven.

Soon, a very blurry human face gradually appeared above the natal golden elixir. This face was still just a rudimentary outline and the specific features could not be seen clearly, but from the physiognomy it looked somewhat delicate and as delicate as a baby.

This is the initial appearance of Song Qingming's Nascent Soul. Next, as long as he continues to cast spells and fully transforms his Nascent Soul, he will be able to successfully pass the stage of "Nascent Soul transformation from the fetus".

Just when Song Qingming was trying his best to mobilize the magic power in his body and was finally about to complete the formation of the small head of his natal infant, he suddenly felt a strange movement coming from his natal golden elixir.

The primordial inner elixir that was originally surrounded by golden light now had a tiny crack on it, and then the crack grew bigger and bigger.

As Song Qingming was surprised, his natal golden elixir, which already had a hint of the embryonic form of a Nascent Soul, suddenly shrank and returned to its original shape, but with a very obvious crack on it.

At the same time, Song Qingming, who was in the "Sky Fire Pool", suddenly shook and opened his eyes.

He had just woken up from the "Heavenly Fire Illusion" and hurriedly checked his Dantian. After seeing that his natal golden elixir was safe and sound, he slowly and loudly sighed.

"It is indeed not easy to transform this fetus into a Nascent Soul. No wonder it can stop so many talented people in the world of cultivation."

Song Qingming, who had stayed in the "Sky Fire Illusion" for half a year, successfully attempted to break through the Nascent Soul realm. The result was not beyond his expectations. He failed at the critical step of "fetal transformation into Nascent Soul".

The first two stages of forming an infant mainly test the cultivator's patience, which is not as difficult as Song Qingming had imagined.

Although it took a lot of time, it went smoothly overall without too many twists and turns.

However, the situation at the stage of "fetus transformation into Nascent Soul" was far beyond Song Qingming's expectations.

In the illusion, he had only completed less than 30% of the steps of transformation into an infant. Because of improper control of his magic power, his golden elixir was shattered, and the "transformation into an infant from the fetus" ultimately failed.

Although he knew that he was in the "Heavenly Fire Illusion", he would not suffer any loss even if he failed to form a baby.

But the failure of "transforming the fetus into the Nascent Soul" this time still made Song Qingming realize firsthand how difficult it is for a cultivator to form a Nascent Soul, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart how difficult the path to the Nascent Soul is.

If he had not been in the illusion just now, and had rashly chosen to directly impact the Nascent Soul realm, even with the help of auxiliary spiritual objects, the chance of success would definitely not exceed 20%.

Moreover, the shattering of his golden elixir just now was enough to make it difficult for Song Qingming to recover for decades. If he was unlucky, he might even fall back in his cultivation realm.

Although such an injury would not cause Song Qingming's death, it would definitely have a great impact on his path, and might even cause him to miss the opportunity to step into the Nascent Soul stage.

Even after waking up from the "Heavenly Fire Illusion", Song Qingming's face was still filled with fear. He hurriedly checked his body thoroughly before he felt relieved.

Although his first attempt to form a baby in the illusion failed completely, Song Qingming was not too discouraged.

After checking his own condition, Song Qingming took out a white porcelain bottle, poured out a drop of white spiritual liquid and swallowed it into his mouth, then began to meditate and cast a spell to refine the spiritual liquid in his body.

At this time, a ray of spiritual light emanated from his chest, which instantly increased the speed at which Song Qingming absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy several times. After a while, the little magic power left in Song Qingming's body gradually replenished.

Feeling that his magic power had almost recovered, Song Qingming's face gradually showed a look of satisfaction.

"With the help of the Millennium Spiritual Milk and the Remnant Map, I can stay in this Skyfire Pool for quite a while longer. I should be able to try to enter the illusion once or twice to reach the Nascent Soul stage."

The extraterrestrial fire in this "Sky Fire Pool" is extremely powerful. Ordinary Jindan cultivators rely on their own magic power shield to resist the external sky fire. Their magic power will be exhausted after staying there for half a year at most, and they will find it difficult to support themselves.

Even with the help of elixirs and spiritual objects to restore magic power, it can only last about a year normally.

Moreover, trying to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the "Heavenly Fire Illusion" will also consume a lot of the cultivator's own mana.

Once a cultivator is deeply trapped in an illusion and consumes too much magic power without realizing it, he will easily be injured by the extraterrestrial fire and may even lose his life.

Originally, Song Qingming thought that with his own magic power, he could only enter the "Heavenly Fire Illusion" once at most.

But when Song Qingming entered the "Sky Fire Pool", he suddenly discovered that the remaining map on his body was not restricted here. It could help him quickly recover his own magic power and support the shield to resist the extraterritorial sky fire.

If there had been no help from the incomplete map, after Song Qingming came out of the "Sky Fire Illusion", his mana would have been consumed too much, and he would probably not dare to try to enter the illusion again.

But now, with the help of the incomplete map, Song Qingming's mana recovery speed has increased exponentially, and with the help of the thousand-year-old spiritual milk, it can almost offset his own mana consumption here.

In other words, Song Qingming can now stay in the "Skyfire Illusion" several times longer than others, which is far beyond his original expectations.

"If it doesn't work once, let's try it a second time!"

After recovering his magic power and adjusting his own state, Song Qingming closed his eyes and meditated into the "Heavenly Fire Illusion", and began to try to condense his Nascent Soul for the second time.

".."

Time passed quickly, and soon more than a year had passed.

In a stone pavilion outside the "Lianxin Tower", an old man and a young man were staring at a chess game on the table.

After his master "Taoist Lingxu" dropped a white chess piece in his hand, Liu Yang looked at the chessboard and hesitated for a long time, then grabbed the black chess piece next to him and scattered it directly on the chessboard.

Facing his disciple's decisive decision to surrender, Taoist Lingxu smiled and stroked his long beard at the corner of his mouth, then said with a smile:
"Although this game is difficult, it is not unsolvable. You have been learning chess from me for such a long time, why are you becoming more and more impatient?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yang quickly replied, "Master, you are an excellent chess player. How can I be your opponent? Now that I can play against you for such a long time, it is already much better than before.

Don’t you always say that playing chess is a way to cultivate one’s character and not to worry too much about winning or losing?”

"I said so many things, why did you only remember this one sentence? If people playing chess don't fight for victory or defeat, what fun is there?"

"Haha! Master is teaching me that, but my chess skills are really too poor now. It is really boring to play against you.

It is better to wait for Junior Brother Song to come out, and then let him play a good game with you!"

Liu Yang was putting away the chessboard while talking, but suddenly he stopped what he was doing and looked up at his master, "Master Lingxu".

"By the way, Master, didn't you say last time that our brothers and sisters would be able to come out of the Heart Refining Tower in a year at most?
Junior Brother Song has been in there for more than a year, why hasn't he come out yet? "

Hearing Liu Yang's question, "Taoist Lingxu" slowly turned his head and glanced at the "Heart Refining Tower" not far away, then spoke softly with a calm face:

“Normally, cultivators can only stay there for about a year, but the world of immortal cultivation is full of strange things, and it is impossible for everyone to have the same result after entering.

It is said that a senior had stayed in the Demon Palace for several years. This is not uncommon. "

“How can someone stay in there for several years?”

Seeing Liu Yang looking at him curiously, "Taoist Lingxu" shook his head and said:
“It’s been a long time since this happened, and I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, so how can I know how it was done? I’ve only heard some rumors.

But even if this is true, not everyone can do it. Normally, if someone can't come out for several years, then they probably won't come out again."

After hearing the explanation from his master "Taoist Lingxu", Liu Yang's face suddenly fell silent, and he quickly asked:
"Master, you mean that Junior Brother Song may not be able to come out!

Then Master, what should we do? Should we open the seal and go in to see if we can rescue Junior Brother Song from inside?"

"No, no!"

Facing Liu Yang's proposal, "Taoist Lingxu" quickly waved his hand and said: "If this Refining Heart Tower is opened from the outside, it will affect the people in seclusion inside.

If he is not careful, he will fall into an illusion and be injured by the outer fire, which is also very dangerous.

I left a talisman on his body when I came here before, and it hasn't been triggered yet. There shouldn't be any danger to his life. Just be patient and wait.

It's really strange that he could stay in there for such a long time. You can ask him about it when he comes out!"

"Oh! Master is really thoughtful."

After hearing what "Taoist Lingxu" said, Liu Yang's somewhat nervous expression slowly relaxed, and he spoke calmly to the "Heart Refining Tower" not far away:

"Junior Brother Song, please don't get into any trouble!"

Liu Yang and Song Qingming have known each other for many years and have always had a good relationship in the sect. Now that he knows that Song Qingming might be in danger in the "Heart Refining Tower", he can't help but worry about him.

However, the face of "Taoist Lingxu" standing aside was still very calm. After standing there in silence for a moment, he turned around and sat down in the pavilion.

"One more game!"
-
Wei State, the top of "Funiu Mountain".

Huang Siyuan, holding a chess piece in her hand, sat alone on the third floor of "Huixian Pavilion". She looked at the somewhat stalemate chess game in front of her. After thinking for a long time, she decided to put it down gently.

"Playing chess alone is really boring!"

After muttering to herself, Huang Siyuan just stood up, but saw Song Yuanfang, with a nervous look on his face, suddenly running up to her.

"From afar, I am here to meet the ancestor! I have been busy with official business these past few days, and I didn't know that the ancestor had come out of retreat to greet me. I hope the ancestor will forgive me!"

Hearing what Song Yuanfang said, Huang Siyuan immediately waved her hand and said, "I also left the customs ahead of schedule. It has nothing to do with you, so don't think too much.

I came to you today to ask you where Qingyu went. "

"Ah! Grandma, aren't you practicing in seclusion on the top of the mountain?"

Hearing Song Yuanfang's answer, Huang Siyuan was slightly startled, and after a moment of silence, she said seriously: "I have been to her cave a few days ago when I came out of retreat.

Although I didn't go in directly, I could still feel that there was no one inside.

Yuan Fang, you are also a person who knows what is important and what is not. That is why your husband has been confident in leaving the family to you for so many years. There are some things I shouldn't say directly to you!

If Qingyu had to leave temporarily for something, even if it was inconvenient for me to tell you because I was in seclusion, there was no reason for me not to say hello to you.

Could it be that you are showing respect on the surface, but in your heart you treat me as an outsider and don't trust me?"

"This... Old Ancestor, please understand clearly that Yuan Fang has absolutely no such intention."

Hearing what Huang Siyuan said, Song Yuanfang was also shocked. After bowing, he took out a letter in his hand.

"Grandfather, my great aunt left four months ago, saying she was going out to do something. I don't know where she went.

Before she left, she told me to keep this letter. If she still doesn't come back within six months, she told me to give it to you."

"Qingyu has been gone for such a long time, and you didn't even tell me. How stupid!"

Hearing what Song Yuanfang said, Huang Siyuan frowned slightly, scolded him, and then took the white letter from his hand.

"Sister-in-law, I am writing to you.

A few years ago, Qingyu met a master in Yunwu Mountain. He made an agreement with me that this trip was for my own spiritual path, and my family should not worry!

.

I don’t know when I will be back from my trip!

There are still a few scrolls left in Huixian Pavilion, which are what Qingyu has gained from his years of comprehending the techniques. I hope you can help me keep them."

There were only a dozen or so lines written on the white letter. Song Qingyu only said that she had gone out to seek opportunities. She didn't say much, nor did she say where she went specifically.

When seeing the last few lines, Huang Siyuan's face became a little solemn. Then she took Song Yuanfang to the library next door and found the two bamboo slips left by Song Qingyu before he left.

After opening the bamboo slips in his hand and taking a look at them, Huang Siyuan immediately turned around and said:

"Yuan Fang, quickly send a message to the sect's Law Enforcement Hall for me, saying that Qing Yu has disappeared for no reason, and ask the sect to send someone to help."

"Yes! Ancestor."

Watching Song Yuanfang turn and leave, Huang Siyuan silently picked up the bamboo slips in her hand and sighed slightly:
“These two siblings really make me worry.
-
In the eastern part of Wei State, in a very hidden cave in "Yunwu Mountain".

Song Qingyu, dressed in white, was sitting cross-legged, immersed in meditation with his eyes closed.

There was also a small blue flying sword in front of her, which kept circling around her, forming a brilliant blue light surrounding Song Qingyu.

Not long after, as the blue dagger suddenly flew into Song Qingyu's body, her pair of black eyes slowly opened and she stopped meditating.

Afterwards, Song Qingyu cast a spell with one hand and took out a bamboo slip. He wrote down the skills he had just comprehended on it, and then slowly put it away.

Ever since leaving Ling Zhentian's cave in Yue State, Song Qingyu followed the white-clothed woman and several others here and has never left.

After obtaining the talisman in the cave that day, Song Qingyu spent about three months and finally replicated everything he got from it.

Just as the woman in white said, what was left in the talisman was indeed the subsequent practice of the "Xuanming Sword Art".

However, the skills in the talisman did not extend to the late Nascent Soul stage as the woman in white had thought, but only to the middle Nascent Soul stage.

After putting away the skills in his hand, Song Qingyu sat there and thought for a long time before slowly standing up and walking out of the cave.

"Hey! Are you out of quarantine?"

Just after walking out of the cave, Song Qingyu heard a very crisp voice coming from the opposite side. She looked up and found that it was the girl in white who had traveled to Yue State with her before.

Seeing this, Song Qingyu hurriedly bowed slightly and said, "I have lived up to your expectations. I have already copied all the skills. Please ask Brother Bai to take me to meet Senior Liu."

"Master has been waiting for you, come with me!"

After the girl in white finished speaking, she turned around and led Song Qingyu to the top of the mountain, where they saw a figure in white sitting on a rock not far away.

"Master wants to talk to you alone, so I won't go with you."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

Through the recent contacts, although Song Qingyu is not very clear about their background, he already knows the names of the girls in white.

The girl in white who had just led the way was named Bai Yuling. The woman in purple that Song Qingyu had met was Bai Yuling's fellow senior sister, Yang Zixin.

Their master was the woman in white sitting on a stone not far in front of Song Qingyu.

However, the other party did not tell her name directly, and Song Qingyu only knew that her surname was Liu.

After greeting Bai Yuling, Song Qingyu went straight to the woman in white not far away and bowed to her respectfully.

"I've met Senior Liu!"

The woman in white heard this and waved her hand with a smile on her face.
"Although you are not a disciple of our sect, since you have inherited my legacy, you have some status with me. From now on, if no one is around, just call me uncle."

Although Song Qingyu and Ling Zhentian did not have a master-disciple relationship, he had practiced the "Xuanming Sword Technique" left by the other party in the cave, so he could be considered to have inherited his legacy.

The woman surnamed Liu was Ling Zhentian's fellow junior sister, so it was reasonable for Song Qingyu to call her "uncle-master".

Hearing this, Song Qingyu did not refuse and nodded directly, "Thank you, Uncle Liu!"

After saying that, Song Qingyu waved his hand and took out the two bamboo slips he had prepared, and continued:
"Uncle Liu, this is what I copied from the talisman. Please take a look."

Seeing the bamboo scroll that Song Qingyu took out, the woman in white smiled slightly, quickly took it in her hand, opened it and looked at it carefully.

Not long after, the woman in white put away the bamboo slips, and suddenly looked at Song Qingyu with a sharp gaze and said:

“This technique is indeed correct, it must have been left by my senior brother!
However, it only deduces up to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, which may be wrong. Did you miss something?

I have agreed to your request and sworn to you that I will not embarrass you again. Don't tell me that you still don't trust your uncle?"

Seeing that the other party was just trying to establish a relationship, but now turned hostile, Song Qingyu simply sighed, spread his hands and replied: "Senior, I also made a vow with you, how dare I break it so easily.

The skills you want are indeed already included here.

As for why there is no spell after the middle stage of Nascent Soul as you mentioned before, I don't know either.

If you still don’t believe it, I can give you the Xuanming Sword and ask you to study it.

When we first entered Senior Ling's cave, we discovered that no one had been there for nearly a thousand years. I guess that senior hadn't figured it out at the time!"

"Haha! Do you think that even after all these years of practice, I am still a three-year-old kid who can be fooled?

I have practiced Xuanming Sword Technique much earlier than you, and I know the mysteries of this technique better than you do.

In addition to this technique, you also got something from the talisman. Take it out quickly.

Although I made a promise with you that I would not make things difficult for you, you should still be sensible and not force me to do anything.

That oath is only between you and me.

You don't think you can leave here on your own if I don't do anything, do you? "

After the woman in white finished speaking, a ray of light suddenly shot out from her hand.

After a while, two figures flew over quickly and landed beside Song Qingyu. They were Bai Yuling and Yang Zixin who were guarding at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that these two people came with ill intentions and surrounded him on the left and right, Song Qingyu did not show his magic weapon to fight with them.

Instead, he gave up resistance and spread his hands helplessly to the woman in white in front of him:
"Senior, you are really flattering me.

My cultivation is so low that I cannot even defeat Fellow Daoist Zi Xin. How can I have the confidence to escape from here!

But I really cannot give you what you need, so I can only leave it to you.

Whether you want to search my soul or check my life treasure and storage bag, I will do whatever you want!" (End of this chapter)
