Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Seeing that Song Qingyu was ready to be dealt with, the woman in white frowned slightly and a somewhat ugly look gradually emerged on her face.

"It seems that you are sure that I dare not attack you. If so, then you can only leave it to fate!"

After the woman in white finished speaking, she cast a spell and released a ray of spiritual light. A moment later, a small bronze tripod appeared in front of Song Qingyu.

After appearing in the air, this small bronze tripod began to spin rapidly and continuously, and soon turned into a giant tripod that was two or three feet high and emitted a cold wind.

"This is the Illusion Cauldron. Anyone who falls into it will enter an illusion and endure all kinds of punishment and pain in the world. Everything they hear and see is exactly the same as reality.

Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator fell into it, it would be difficult to resist the pain brought by this illusion.

Do you want to go in by yourself, or do you want us to invite you in? "

Seeing the three-legged tripod spinning in the air in front of him, Song Qingyu sighed helplessly, and without waiting for the other party to urge him, he stepped into it with a decisive look.
-
Five days later, deep in the "Yunwu Mountain".

Huang Siyuan, Li Wutong and Fang Baixuan suddenly stopped when they were flying over a high mountain.

"Junior Sister Huang, what happened? Is she still around here?"

Hearing Li Wutong's question, Huang Siyuan opened a bamboo slip in her hand and took a closer look, then replied with a puzzled look, "Strange, the sword intent left by Qingyu is pointing to this area.

But we have been searching for several days in a row and still have found nothing. Could it be that there is something wrong with what this item shows?"

"Then let's split up and look for it again! Maybe we have missed something."

After Li Wutong finished speaking, the three of them dispersed and flew in different directions, and began to search the surrounding area carefully.

On a hilltop a few hundred feet in front of where the three people left, a girl in white stood there, watching everything quietly with a smile on her face.

The girl in white was clearly only a few hundred feet away from Huang Siyuan and the other two, but they seemed unable to see her, which made people wonder.

After seeing Huang Siyuan and the other two leave, the girl in white turned around and came to a bluestone not far away.

"Junior sister, is everything alright?"

Hearing the question from Senior Sister Yang Zixin, Bai Yuling smiled and nodded and replied:

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. Even Yuanying cultivators may not be able to see the formation set up by Master. They are just a few small Jindan cultivators. They won't be able to find anything."

"These people have been wandering around. They must be carrying something to find someone. I don't know how long it will take Master to come here. We should be careful so as not to delay her important event."

After Yang Zixin finished speaking, she turned her gaze to the bluestone beside her.

There, a woman in white was sitting with her eyes closed, and not far away from her, in the air, there was a bronze tripod about two or three meters high that was constantly rotating in the air.

Bai Yuling looked at the bronze cauldron and immediately thought of the young girl in green who had walked into it a few days ago. She couldn't help but sigh and said:
"Other people might not be able to stay in there for one or two days, but she has been in there for five days and she still hasn't confessed. This girl's willpower is really unexpected.

Could it be that Master guessed wrong, and what she said before was true?"

"Junior sister, please don't speak nonsense. Master knows the situation well. We just need to do our own thing and don't speculate about other things."

Hearing Bai Yuling's frank words, Yang Zixin quickly interrupted her.

Hearing this, Bai Yuling smiled slightly, said nothing more, turned around and walked aside.

In the "Fantasy Heart Cauldron", Song Qingyu, dressed in green, sat inside.

But at this moment, not only was her brows furrowed and her face extremely pale, but her forehead was also covered with sweat. It was obvious that she was experiencing some great pain.

At this moment, a cool sound suddenly sounded in Song Qingyu's ears, making her originally very painful expression look a little better.

"Give the things to me, and you can go out without going through this pain again. I can also promise that I will never embarrass you or your people again."

Hearing this somewhat tempting voice, Song Qingyu did not pay much attention to it. He still sat there without any reaction.

"I don't know what to do!"

With an angry voice, Song Qingyu, who was originally sitting in the same place, suddenly fell from mid-air into a furnace. The raging flames around him instantly enveloped him.

Although the shield released by his own magic power blocked most of the flames, a lot of flames still passed through the shield and fell directly on Song Qingyu.

Not long after, Song Qingyu felt a wave of pain in her body, which made her body tremble.

Although he knew that this was just an illusion, Song Qingyu still clearly felt that his skin was being burned by the flames, and could even smell the smell of burning flesh.

Even so, Song Qingyu still gritted his teeth and sat there, not even uttering a word for mercy because of the tremendous pain he was enduring.

"Humph! You don't know what's good for you. Even if you are determined, everyone has a limit to the pain they can endure. You are just wasting more of my time!"

As the voice slowly faded away, the flames beside Song Qingyu grew a little bigger, making her frown again.

Two days later, a yellow light flew quickly from a distance and landed in mid-air, revealing a figure in yellow.

"Junior Sister Huang, how is it, did you find anything?"

Seeing Huang Siyuan who had just arrived, Li Wutong and Fang Baixuan who were standing nearby hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Hearing this, Huang Siyuan shook her head and said to the two of them, "We have basically searched the surrounding area, but still found nothing.

Now it seems that either there is a problem with the innate sword intent left by Qingyu, or she is not here at all.

Or maybe she is trapped by some serious restriction, and I am afraid that our cultivation is not enough to find out."

Seeing the anxious look on Huang Siyuan's face, Li Wutong nodded and said directly, "Don't worry, Junior Sister Huang, I have already sent a letter to inform the sect of the news.

It probably won’t be long before Uncle Bai will come to help!

We will wait here first. As long as Junior Sister Song is still here, we will definitely find her."

As soon as Li Wutong finished speaking, a beam of light suddenly appeared not far away and headed straight for the three people.

Seeing this somewhat familiar escaping light, Huang Siyuan and the other two suddenly looked delighted, and then they immediately took the initiative to step forward to greet it.

"Greetings, Uncle Bai!"

Bai Yuxian, who had just arrived, glanced at the three people in front of him and asked softly:
"I know everything. Where is the natal sword intent left by Qingyu now?"

Hearing Bai Yuxian's question, Huang Siyuan hurriedly handed the bamboo slips in her hand to Bai Yuxian and replied softly:
"Uncle Bai, the location that the sword is pointing to is not far ahead.

However, the three of us have been searching for a long time and have not found anything unusual. I am afraid that Qingyu may have fallen into some powerful restriction. I would like to ask Uncle Bai to help check it out."

The reason why Huang Siyuan and the others were able to find the depths of "Yunwu Mountain" was mainly because before Song Qingyu left home, in addition to leaving behind his own martial arts inheritance, he also left a "natal sword intent" in a bamboo slip.

This "natal sword intent" was differentiated from Song Qingyu's natal magic weapon. As long as the distance was not too far, the main body could be quickly sensed within tens of thousands of miles.

After taking the bamboo slips from Huang Siyuan, Bai Yuxian just opened it and felt a spiritual light guiding him. He looked up at a position not far in front of the few people.

Then, under the guidance of Bai Yuxian, the four of them came to the vicinity where they were just now.

After arriving here, Bai Yuxian's eyes kept scanning the surrounding mountains. After a while, she finally arrived in front of a mountain not far away.

Looking at a very inconspicuous mountain not far in front of him, and then looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, Bai Yuxian's hand suddenly flashed with inspiration, and suddenly a sword light shot out and went straight to the top of the mountain.

The sword light was so powerful that in an instant a corner of the mountain was cut off by the sword light, and countless rocks fell from the top of the mountain.

Some of these stones rolled directly from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, while others were blocked by trees on the mountainside in mid-air. It took a while for the smoke and dust raised from the mountains to slowly dissipate.

"Uncle Bai, look, there's something wrong!"

Fang Baixuan shouted loudly at the side, and everyone's eyes immediately followed the direction he pointed, and soon found an area that was not affected not far below the top of the mountain.

Just now, Bai Yuxian destroyed the mountain with one strike, and almost all the surrounding areas were covered with rocks and dust, except for this area which remained normal.

This also allowed everyone to see at a glance that there must be some restriction nearby that blocked the smoke and rocks.

"This restriction is quite powerful. I'm afraid the person who set up the formation is not inferior to me in cultivation. You three should hold this tightly and be careful!"

Bai Yuxian was originally a fourth-level lower-grade formation master. If it weren't for the "natal sword intent" left by Song Qingyu, he would not have been able to discover the abnormality on the mountain for a while.

This also made her realize that the person who set up the formation was probably not less skilled than her, and was most likely also a Nascent Soul cultivator.

After Bai Yuxian finished speaking, she threw a set of "Three Talents Sword Formation" that she had prepared into the hands of Li Wutong and the other two, and then flew with them to the location of the restriction.

After everyone arrived at the bottom of the mountain, they didn't hold back and launched several attacks directly, which soon sparked a burst of spiritual light in the air.

Inside the formation, Bai Yuling, who was holding a golden formation plate in one hand, couldn't help but frowned slightly when he saw the people from the "Xiaoyao Sect" besieging the formation in the sky.

"Senior sister, we have been discovered. Should we inform Master immediately?" After hearing Bai Yuling's question, Yang Zixin, who was standing beside her, hesitated for a moment with a serious expression, and then nodded directly:

"They discovered us so quickly. It seems that they also have a master of formation. I'm afraid the formation won't last long. Let's notify Master first."

After Yang Zixin finished speaking, she immediately sent a message to the woman in white who was sitting cross-legged beside her.

After a while, the woman in white, who had kept her eyes closed, opened her eyes and looked at the people from the "Xiaoyao Sect" outside the formation with some unfriendly eyes.

"Master, they are from Xiaoyao Sect. Should we go out and get rid of them?"

Hearing Yang Zixin's suggestion, the woman in white shook her head slightly and said, "My injuries have not fully recovered yet, so it is not appropriate to fight with the people from Xiaoyao Sect now.

I didn't expect that after preparing for so long, I was tricked by this girl today. I underestimated her.

Senior Brother, it seems that you have a good vision, and she has not buried your inheritance."

"Forget it. Since we have already alarmed the people of Xiaoyao Sect, we can no longer stay here. Let's go first!"

The woman in white sighed softly, and after quickly casting a spell with her hands, she took back the huge bronze tripod in front of her. Song Qingyu, who was still unconscious at the side, fell from mid-air onto the bluestone.

"Master, should we take her with us?"

“No need, I’ve already got the skills she had, and the rest of the stuff probably won’t be that useful to me, so there’s no need to take the risk.

The most urgent thing is to find a safe place to recuperate, so as to avoid being found again.

We can talk about other things when we have the chance later!"

After saying that, the woman in white glanced at Song Qingyu on the ground again, then cast a spell and took down a formation plate from mid-air.

As the formation suddenly disappeared, E Baiyuxian and others outside immediately flashed into the restriction and just met three women in white who were escaping.

Seeing that someone might have set up a restriction here, Bai Yuxian's face suddenly became slightly angry, and a sword light slashed towards the woman in white in mid-air.

When the woman in white saw the sword coming from behind her, she simply waved her hand and released a protective shield, easily blocking Bai Yuxian's attack. Then she fled away without looking back.

Seeing that the other party's cultivation was not weak and he was also a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, Bai Yuxian cast a spell again and released his own natal magic weapon.

A green lotus appeared in front of her. The lotus grew rapidly and caught up with the three women in white, quickly trapping them inside.

However, before Bai Yuxian could be happy for a moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in the lotus, and then a sword light rushed out from it, causing Bai Yuxian, who was halfway in the chase, to stop involuntarily.

At the same time, Huang Siyuan, who had entered the formation, had already discovered Song Qingyu who was unconscious not far away, and hurriedly came to her side.

After seeing that Song Qingyu was just unconscious and not in any danger of life, the tense expression on Huang Siyuan's face slowly relaxed.

"Uncle Bai, we have found Junior Sister Song. Should we continue to chase her?"

Bai Yuxian, who was standing in place, shook his head and said, "Forget it! This person's cultivation is probably higher than mine. Even if we catch up with him, we won't be able to stop him.

Now that we have found Qingyu, let’s go back first!
I have no impression of such a master. He doesn't look like a cultivator from our Floating Cloud Mountain Range. I should wait until Qingyu wakes up and ask him to see if I can find out his background."

After Bai Yuxian finished speaking, she looked at the direction where the three women in white had left not far away with a serious look, and then she took everyone and the still unconscious Song Qingyu away from the place.
-
"Donghuang Kingdom" the world of immortal cultivation, Yuanzhou, Demon-Slaying Palace!
On this day, Liu Yang was sitting alone in the stone pavilion outside the "Lianxin Tower" and took a pot of freshly boiled water off the stove.

On the stone table not far from him, there was a chess game with the winner already decided.

"Master is such a jerk. He asked me to help make tea, but he disappeared without a trace. I worked in vain."

After glancing around, he saw no sign of his master "Taoist Lingxu". Just as he was about to put away the tea bowl on the table, he suddenly felt a movement coming from the "Mind Refining Tower" not far behind him.

"Eh! Could it be?"

Before Liu Yang could say what he was thinking, a wave of spiritual energy came from the "Mind Refining Tower" again, and then a figure flew out from it and landed in front of him.

"Junior Brother Song, hehe."

Seeing the very familiar figure not far in front of him, Liu Yang's face lit up with joy. He quickly put down the tea bowl in his hand and walked quickly towards where Song Qingming was.

"Junior Brother Song, you finally came out. I was so worried about you these days!"

"I forgot the time in there for a moment, so I came out a little late. I didn't want to make my brothers and master worry. I'm really ashamed!"

Hearing this, Liu Yang shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Song, this is a bit too modest.

That day, I heard from Master and Senior Brother that most people who enter the Mind Refining Tower can only stay there for about a year. We were surprised that Junior Brother had actually stayed there for two years.

I just happened to make tea for Master. Now that you have come out of retreat, please tell me what is going on inside."

At Liu Yang's urging, Song Qingming bowed and smiled slightly, then followed him to the stone pavilion next to him.

In the following time, under Liu Yang's expectant gaze, Song Qingming slowly told him about his experiences in the "Mind Refining Tower" over the past two years while sipping tea.

During the past two years, Song Qingming used the incomplete map in his hand and the spiritual object "Millennium Spirit Milk" to restore his own magic power, and tried to reach the Nascent Soul realm four times.

The first two times, as expected, he failed at the "fetus transformation into Nascent Soul" stage.

It was not until the third time that Song Qingming succeeded in his infant transformation and passed this level.

In the following time, Song Qingming tried again. After seeing that he had performed very proficiently in this level, he walked out of the "Mind Refining Tower" with peace of mind.

Song Qingming did not hide any details about his time in the "Mind Refining Tower" from Liu Yang, except for the incomplete map on his body that helped him recover his magic power, which he chose not to tell the other party.

Instead, he attributed his ability to stay in the "Mind Refining Tower" for such a long time to his own relatively strong magic power and other spiritual creatures.

"Thousand-year-old spiritual milk! I didn't expect that Senior Brother Song actually had such a rare treasure. This was something that Master and I hadn't guessed.

It's a pity that the thousand-year spiritual milk in my body has been almost consumed, otherwise I would like to exchange some with you so that I can use it for future training in the tower."

"Even if it's a spiritual thing like the Millennium Spiritual Milk that grows naturally, once a cultivator consumes too much, it will leave many hidden dangers. If one wants to take such a shortcut when one's own mana is insufficient, it may not be a good thing."

Just as Song Qingming and Liu Yang were talking, a figure suddenly appeared beside them out of thin air. It was the "Taoist Lingxu" who had just sensed Song Qingming coming out of the "Heart Refining Tower".

Hearing the reminder from his master, Taoist Lingxu, Song Qingming nodded quickly and said, "Master is right. I took too many spiritual objects to restore my mana, and I feel that a lot of toxins have accumulated in my body.

Senior brother is more talented than me, and it shouldn't take that long just to practice, so I don't think it's necessary to take the risk."

"Haha! I don't have any spiritual items like the Millennium Spiritual Milk. I just said that. Master and Junior Brother, don't worry!"

After Liu Yang finished speaking, he quickly poured a cup of spiritual tea for his master "Taoist Lingxu".

After taking a sip of the spiritual tea on his table, "Taoist Lingxu" turned around and looked at Song Qingming, nodded slightly and said:
“Before I came here, I really didn’t expect you to stay in there for so long. It seems that it was a good decision to bring you here this time.

With your experience in the Heart Refining Tower, I think your chances of successfully reaching the Nascent Soul stage in the future should be greatly improved."

"It is only with Master's help that I have this opportunity. Please accept my respect again, Master!"

"Okay! I promised you all this, no need to be polite."

Seeing that Song Qingming was about to bow again, "Taoist Lingxu" quickly waved his hand at him and said softly:
“You are still an outer disciple now. Even if you have a good hope of forming a Nascent Soul, according to the sect’s rules, we still cannot directly support you in forming a Nascent Soul.

However, Master can promise you today that if you are willing to join the sect directly, the sect can also support you in forming a baby.

This depends on what you think in your heart. I won’t force you to do so!”

"Thank you for your grace, Master! But I don't have any intention of joining the sect right now. If I change my mind in the future, I will come and tell you."

Faced with the kind reminder from his master "Taoist Lingxu", Song Qingming hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and did not directly agree to the other party.

Although, by directly joining the "Taixu Sect" and having the support of his master "Lingxu Taoist", Song Qingming's confidence in condensing his Nascent Soul would be greatly improved.

But at the moment, Song Qingming still couldn't let go of his family far away in the Floating Cloud Mountains, and didn't want to abandon them and join the sect directly.

Moreover, after going through the training in the "Mind Refining Tower", Song Qingming's confidence in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage has improved a lot.

Even without relying on the sect, he has great confidence that he will witness the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

"Well! Just think about this yourself." Seeing that Song Qingming didn't want to join the sect for the time being, there was no surprise on "Taoist Lingxu"'s face.

After finishing their training in the "Heart Refining Tower", Song Qingming and the other two did not stay for long and soon chose to leave the "Demon Exorcism Palace".

However, after returning to Nanzhou, Song Qingming did not return to Taixu Sect with his master "Taoist Lingxu", but bid farewell to them and went east alone.

(I caught a cold last night, and I have not been in good spirits all day. Please bear with me if my writing is not good!) (End of this chapter)
