Qinghe Immortal Clan.

A few months later, at the top of Funiu Mountain.

Looking at Song Qingming and Li Xuanyi standing in front of him, Song Qingyu smiled and bowed to them, saying:
"Seventh Brother, Senior Sister Xuanyi, don't worry, I will strive to break through my cultivation during this retreat, and I won't let you down."

"Qing Yu, breaking through the late Jindan stage is not easy. Don't feel too much pressure. Just do your best!"

Although Song Qingyu has broken through to the sixth level of the Golden Core for more than ten years, it is not so easy to break through from the sixth level of the Golden Core to the seventh level of the Golden Core. After all, it is not so easy to cross the threshold of the late Golden Core.

Although Song Qingming also hoped that Song Qingyu could make a breakthrough during this retreat, he knew it was not easy to break through to the late Jindan stage, so he was still worried that Song Qingyu would be able to make a breakthrough during this retreat.

However, Song Qingyu is only over 200 years old now, which is relatively sufficient. Even if she cannot break through this time, she will be able to reach this step sooner or later.

As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, Li Xuanyi stepped forward and told Song Qingyu:

"Qingyu, don't worry about your retreat. No matter what the result is, I will come back to pick you up in two years. Then we can go to the East China Sea together."

"Yes! Don't worry, Senior Sister. I will come out to greet you when the time comes."

After talking to the two of them, Song Qingyu didn't say anything more. He turned around and walked into his cave.

After a while, as the restriction formation at the entrance of the cave was activated, the surroundings gradually became quiet.

Seeing this, Song Qingming and the other man smiled at each other, then slowly turned around and left.

Walking on the mountaintop trail, looking at his senior sister Li Xuanyi who had remained silent beside him, Song Qingming couldn't help but ask first:
"Senior Sister Li, from what you just said, are you planning to leave Funiushan soon?"

"Well! I've been living here with you for a few months. Now Qingyu and Siyuan are practicing in seclusion again, so I might as well go out for a walk nearby.

Junior Brother Song, rest assured, Qingyu and I have an agreement that I will come back to pick her up in two years and will not leave Weiguo too far."

After hearing Senior Sister Li Xuanyi's reply, Song Qingming nodded slightly, and couldn't help but ask:
"Senior Sister Li, before I left the sect, Master once told me that if you want to come back, you can do so at any time.

Now that senior sister has been away for such a long time, I believe that Senior Li and the others should have calmed down. Why don't you consider going back to the sect to talk to Master directly about this matter?

I think as long as Master is willing to stand up for you, Senior Li and the others shouldn't fall out with the sect because of this!"

Recently, after learning about the specific circumstances of senior sister Li Xuanyi's departure from the family, Song Qingming also stood in Li Xuanyi's perspective and thought about this matter seriously for her.

Although the Li family of "Yunlong Mountain" is a powerful Nascent Soul family, the master "Lingxu Taoist" is, after all, a Divine Transformation cultivator.

If Senior Sister Li Xuanyi is willing to join the sect directly and become an inner disciple of the "Taixu Sect", then logically speaking, even if the Li family is unhappy, they would hardly dare to go to the "Yuxuan Island" to ask for her.

However, Li Xuanyi did not do so. Instead, in order to avoid causing trouble to the sect, he chose to withdraw from the sect directly.

For this reason, Song Qingming was also a little puzzled in his heart, because his senior sister Li Xuanyi had just left home, and it was not easy for him to make direct suggestions for the time being. It was not until now that Song Qingming spoke out his thoughts.

After hearing Song Qingming's suggestion, Li Xuanyi shook his head and said:

"Junior Brother Song, although you have been in the sect for many years, you have only been an outer disciple for these years and are not familiar with some of the sect's affairs.

The reason why our Taixu Sect has been able to live in seclusion in Nanzhou for many years is not only because our master has a high level of cultivation that can intimidate the surrounding demon cultivators and monster cultivators, but also because of the support of many surrounding immortal cultivation forces.

For my Li family alone, the amount of spirit stones that are transported to the island every year to maintain the formation that seals the demon god is not a small number, and the same is true for other sects and forces.

When our Taixu Sect landed on Yuxuan Island to guard the True Demon Seal, in order to avoid being known by outsiders, we made an agreement with all the major sects in Nanzhou that the sects would never interfere in the affairs of the Nanzhou immortal cultivation world.

This agreement was made by our sect's ancestors and it has lasted for tens of thousands of years. Even our master cannot break it at will.

If I want to join the inner sect directly, I must first leave the Li family. Even the sect cannot force me to do this."

"Oh! I see. I hadn't thought of that before."

After hearing the explanation from senior sister Li Xuanyi, Song Qingming gradually understood some things he had never known before, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Li Xuanyi showed a trace of helplessness on his face when he heard this, and then he said softly:

“If I return to the sect now, if the two old ancestors at home find out, I’m afraid they might really make trouble in the sect.

Although, even if they went to the island, they would not be able to enter the sect, but if this matter got out, it would eventually have some negative impact on the sect.

Master loves me so much, how can Xuanyi affect the reputation of the sect because of such a small matter of his own? "

Song Qingming nodded slightly and said, "Senior Sister, since Master said that you can return to the sect, I think he still hopes that you can go back.

How about I wait until the next time I go to the sect and ask for your help to see if the master can help you get through this difficult time."

After hearing Song Qingming's suggestion, Li Xuanyi stood there in silence for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Junior Brother Song, but I still don't want to go back so early.

Whether it's cultivation or experience over the years, I have always relied on the care of my family and the sect. I feel that I am much worse than you in this respect.

In addition to family matters, I also wanted to take this opportunity to try to practice on my own outside and see if I can find a path of practice that belongs to me.

Junior Brother Song, don't worry about me. I had already thought about it before leaving home.

If I can't achieve the Nascent Soul Dao, Xuan Yi will never return to Nanzhou in this life!"

"Well! Since Senior Sister Li has made a decision, I will definitely support her. If Senior Sister encounters any problems, just let her know."

After hearing what Senior Sister Li Xuanyi said, Song Qingming instantly understood what the other party was thinking, and responded with a serious look on his face.

After the two finished talking, Li Xuanyi looked at the path ahead, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth to invite Song Qingming:

"Junior Brother Song, I finally have some free time today, why don't you accompany me for a walk in the mountains?
"It's been so long since I came to the mountain, and every time I have been bothering Qingyu and the others, I have been able to have some free time. Now that they are gone, you can't refuse me anymore, right?"

"I am honored to be invited by you, Senior Sister. However, the scenery of Funiu Mountain is just so-so. I am afraid it will not be in your eyes. How about I take you to Jinshanfang to have a look?"

Hearing this, Li Xuanyi said calmly: "It doesn't matter! Although the scenery outside is beautiful, it's just like that after seeing it for a long time.

Although the mountain scenery may be a little ordinary, it is still good as long as it is pleasant to look at. "

After Li Xuanyi finished speaking, he smiled slightly and took the initiative to step forward.

Seeing this, Song Qingming shook his head in surprise, then quickly followed.

The two walked along the mountain path, stopping from time to time to chat, as if they had returned to the time when they were on "Yuxuan Island".

After the sun set in the west, as the sunset appeared in the sky, Li Xuanyi stood on a mountain top, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and couldn't help but immerse himself in it and stopped to watch.

Song Qingming stayed by her side very quietly until it got dark. Then they smiled at each other and left.

A few days later, Song Qingming stood at the foot of "Funiu Mountain" again and bid farewell to his senior sister Li Xuanyi who was preparing to go out for a trip.

Watching the familiar black figure gradually disappear in the air, Song Qingming turned around and stepped onto the flying boat, heading south to the sect's spiritual place, "Guyang Mountain".

Time passed slowly, and several months had passed since Song Qingming returned to his family from the immortal cultivation world of "Donghuang Country".

During this period, in addition to seeing off senior sister Li Xuanyi, Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu also began their own retreats after obtaining the elixir, preparing to break through their current levels of cultivation.

It is common for Jindan cultivators to go into seclusion for as short as half a year, or as long as one or two years.

While the two girls were in seclusion, Song Qingming had nothing to do and naturally did not want to delay his own practice, so he planned to go to the sect's "Shan Gong Pavilion" to get some necessary elixirs and spiritual objects to continue his seclusion.

Now Song Qingming has almost prepared the spiritual objects and experience needed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Next, I have to work hard to hone my magic power and strive to reach the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible.

After practicing Taoism for so many years, even though Song Qingming has always been cautious and low-key, he inevitably offended many powerful enemies intentionally or unintentionally.

These people are always potential dangers around him, and often make Song Qingming feel worried.

Whether for his personal path or for the safety of the entire family, Song Qingming must break through the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible to feel a little more at ease.

Just arrived at "Guyang Mountain",
Not far in front of the "Mountain Protection Array", Song Qingming met Xu Ziyan, who was about to go out to do something. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to her.

"Junior Sister Xu, are you going on a long journey?"

"Haha! It's Senior Brother Song, what a coincidence today.

I'm not going far away, I just have some chores to do and need to go down the mountain. I'll be back soon."

Song Qingming nodded slightly and said, "I'll go to the Good Deeds Pavilion to exchange some spiritual objects. When my junior sister comes back, I'll go visit her!"

Seeing this, Xu Ziyan quickly waved her hand and said, "Brother Song, Uncle Bai seems to want to find you for something. Some time ago, he kept asking me to inquire about you.

It's just that I saw that Senior Brother Song hasn't returned for many years, and I couldn't bear to disturb Senior Brother and Junior Sister Huang's reunion, so I didn't send a message to inform him. If Senior Brother has time, he might as well go to see Uncle Master first. "Oh! Thank you Junior Sister Xu for reminding me, then I won't disturb you, and I will visit you another day."

Hearing that Bai Yuxian had something to discuss with him, Song Qingming immediately nodded in understanding and bowed to her as he said goodbye.

After bidding farewell to Fairy Baiyu, Song Qingming did not choose to go to the sect's "Good Deeds Pavilion", but went straight to a high mountain to the north of "Guyang Mountain".

As soon as we arrived at the top of the mountain, two young-looking foundation-building monks came to greet us from afar.

"Greetings, Uncle Song!"

Seeing the two men, Song Qingming quickly took out a voice transmission talisman from his body and handed it to the two men, saying, "I'm here to visit Uncle Bai, please let me know!"

"Uncle Master, wait a moment!"

Upon hearing this, the two foundation-building disciples standing there hurriedly took the sound transmission talisman from Song Qingming's hand and quickly went to the cave not far away.

Not long after, the two of them came out again and led Song Qingming directly in.

"Greetings to Uncle Bai, congratulations on your improvement in cultivation. I think you will be able to break through in the near future!"

Several decades have passed since Bai Yuxian successfully formed a Nascent Soul. Although her cultivation is still at the Nascent Soul level, there have been obvious changes compared to when she just broke through the Nascent Soul level. Her cultivation seems to have reached the peak level of the Nascent Soul level.

Bai Yuxian, who was sitting at the head of the group, dismissed the people around him and heard Song Qingming's congratulations. He waved his hand and said,

“Your words are nice to hear, but in a small place like our Floating Cloud Mountains, it is not so easy to break through to the realm of the Nascent Soul cultivator!
If everything was as you said, Senior Brother Li wouldn't have been stuck in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul for so many years after forming the Nascent Soul."

There are only a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Floating Cloud Mountains, and the highest level of cultivation is only at the late Nascent Soul stage. This is closely related to the scarcity of cultivation resources here.

Therefore, Bai Yuxian, who knew that practicing was not easy, could only smile helplessly and sigh when he heard Song Qingming's compliments.

Seeing this, Song Qingming nodded gently, expressing his approval, "Uncle Bai is right. We cultivators are trapped here. If we can't get out, it will be very difficult to make further progress in our cultivation.

This time I went to the Donghuang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world again, and what I saw and heard taught me a lot. These are some of the little things I bought there, I hope Senior Sister Bai won't dislike them."

Having finally made the trip to the immortal cultivation world of "Donghuang Country", Song Qingming naturally couldn't come back empty-handed.

On his way back, when he came across some large and small markets, he would still take a few days to stop and stroll around.

Although I didn’t buy any high-level spiritual items that were useful to me like last time, I still managed to buy some spiritual items unique to the local area.

As the spiritual light in Song Qingming's hand moved, some packaged spiritual tea, spiritual wine, spiritual fruit, and several decorative spiritual objects that the female cultivator liked appeared in front of Bai Yuxian along with the spiritual light.

In addition to daily practice, Bai Yuxian is also a person who likes to wander around.

Although the gift Song Qingming brought was not something valuable, Bai Yuxian still loved it very much and soon put a smile on her face.

After the two of them were polite for a while, seeing that Bai Yuxian was in a good mood, Song Qingming started to get to the point and asked:
"Senior Sister Bai, when I came here earlier, I heard Junior Sister Xu say that you seemed to have something to talk to me about. I don't know what it is, so please tell me frankly."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuxian smiled slightly and slowly put down the teacup in her hand. Then she waved her hand and set up a soundproof barrier not far in front of the two of them. Then she turned around and said calmly:

"Junior Brother Song, I came to you today mainly because of two things. I want to ask you directly on behalf of the sect."

Seeing Bai Yuxian's expression suddenly become so serious, Song Qingming hurriedly bowed and said sincerely: "Senior Sister Bai, if you have anything to say, just speak frankly."

Bai Yuxian nodded slightly, and then asked directly: "Junior Brother Song, the first thing is actually about Qingyu's last encounter with danger.

You've been back for so long, I'm sure you know something about Qingyu.

I want to ask you, do you know the identities of the group that attacked Qing Yu?"

Since returning to the family, in addition to asking Huang Siyuan, Song Qingming also found an opportunity to ask Song Qingyu in person about her attack.

However, apart from knowing that the other party was a fellow disciple of the senior from the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion, Song Qingyu was also unclear about the specific identities of the few people.

When Song Qingming heard Bai Yuxian mention the attack on Song Qingyu, he frowned slightly and told her all the information he knew.

"Senior Sister Bai, I asked Qingyu in detail, but she couldn't explain the identities of those people. She only knew that they came from a powerful sword-cultivating sect.

When Qingyu went to explore the cave, besides me, there were two fellow Taoists from the East China Sea. In fact, they were the first to discover the cave, and we just went there to help.

To be honest, I never expected that Qingyu would encounter this incident because of this cave. If it had happened earlier, I would never have taken her there no matter what. "

After hearing Song Qingming's detailed explanation, Bai Yuxian nodded calmly and said, "Qingyu can get an opportunity there after all, which is not a bad thing, and you don't have to think too much.

However, these people's origins are unknown, and the leader's cultivation is higher than mine. It is not a good thing to be targeted by them.

You need to be more careful about this matter in the future!"

"Thank you, Senior Sister Bai, for reminding me. I am also aware of this matter and will remind Qingyu when I return."

After Bai Yuxian finished talking about the first thing, he then changed the subject and asked Song Qingming, "Junior Brother Song, you are going to the East Phoenix Country to cultivate immortals this time, probably for the purpose of forming an infant in the future!
I wonder if you have found a suitable place to form a baby this time, could you tell me a little bit about it? "

Previously, when Song Qingming went to the "Donghuang Kingdom" to cultivate the immortal world, he was not sure when he would return after leaving, so he sent a letter to inform the sect in advance.

However, at that time, Song Qingming did not mention that the reason for his trip was to find a suitable spiritual place to form a baby. Instead, he directly said that he was invited by a good friend to travel around the cultivation world of "Donghuang Country".

Hearing Bai Yuxian's words directly, Song Qingming's face suddenly showed some surprise. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and bowed and replied:
"Senior Sister Bai, to be honest, I have now reached the ninth level of the Golden Core realm, and I have naturally thought about how to impact the Nascent Soul realm in the future. I dare not deceive the sect about this.

Senior sister guessed correctly. This time when I went to the Donghuang Kingdom to cultivate immortals, in addition to traveling around at the invitation of my good friends, I also went to inquire about matters in this regard.

However, I am still not too sure about the matter of forming a baby, and I have only asked people about it, but there is not much result."

"Junior Brother Song, what we cultivators seek in our lifetime is nothing more than the path to immortality. It is natural for you to want to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Even if you don't tell us, we can guess some of it.

Junior brother has been in the sect for over a hundred years. He has fought side by side with us, repelled the demon army several times, and thwarted the conspiracy of the Jiuyuan Sect. Over the years, the Song family has made great contributions to our Xiaoyao Sect and the world of immortal cultivation in Weiguo.

Logically speaking, the sect should not turn a blind eye to the matter of our junior brother forming a baby. It would be a bit awkward to let our junior brother go to the faraway Donghuang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world to find a place to form a baby.

The reason why there are these barriers in this matter is that the junior brother or the guest elder has not been directly integrated into the sect, which leads to these misunderstandings with the sect.

The reason I came to ask you this time is actually because I want to ask your opinion on behalf of the sect.

Junior brother, have you ever thought about becoming a disciple like Junior Brother Shen? In this way, you will be one of our family members. In the future, Senior Brother Li and I will naturally do our best to help you with your infant formation.

Of course, I am only asking for your opinion on this matter on behalf of the sect. I am not asking you to integrate into the sect right away.

As for the specific matters, we may need to discuss with Senior Brother Li and other sect elders before we can finalize them."

Over the years, Song Qingming had thought about joining the sect directly, but he was unsure of what the "Xiaoyao Sect" thought of him, so he never dared to say it out loud.

After hearing Bai Yuxian's suggestion, Song Qingming gradually fell silent. After a while, he replied:

"Senior Sister Bai, to be honest, I have had the same thought in my mind.

However, it is really hard to give up the family. Can you let me discuss it with Qingyu and Siyuan before making a decision? "

"Of course, since Junior Brother Song has this idea, there is no need to rush to reply. You can talk about it after you have discussed it!"

After hearing Song Qingming's reply, Bai Yuxian immediately smiled and responded happily.

The two then chatted for a while in the cave, and only when the pot of tea was finished did Song Qingming stand up and say goodbye.

After sending Song Qingming away, Bai Yuxian did not return to his cave, but turned around and came to a high mountain not far away, and saw Li Mufeng who was meditating in the wind on the top of the mountain.

"Brother Li, I just met Qingming and asked him directly what he thought!"

"Oh! Did he agree to it?"

Seeing Li Mufeng's expectant look, Bai Yuxian nodded and said, "He didn't agree directly, but I can see that he does have this idea.

If Senior Brother doesn't object to this, I think this should be successful without any accidents!"

Li Mufeng heard this and nodded slightly:
“Qian Shu and I did doubt the Song family back then, but I have also seen Qing Ming’s dedication to the sect over the years. If he really wants to integrate into the sect, I will not object.

Junior sister, although I have been shouldering the responsibilities of the sect for many years, I am almost a thousand years old after all. The sect will still have to rely on you in the future.

You can make the decision on this matter!"

"Thank you so much, senior brother!"

After slightly bowing to Li Mufeng in front of him, Bai Yuxian immediately turned into a beam of light and disappeared on the spot. (End of this chapter)
