Qinghe Immortal Clan.

After returning to Wei State on the sect's flying boat, Song Qingming had just arrived at "Guyang Mountain" when he happened to meet Song Yuanxue and a dozen other Song family cultivators outside the sect's "Shangong Pavilion".

Because the southern Pei Kingdom has been fighting a war with the demon clan for nearly a year, the "Xiaoyao Sect" not only needs to dispatch reinforcements to the front line, but also needs to transport a large amount of supplies to provide support.

In order to raise the supplies and spiritual objects needed for the front lines, the sect's "Shan Gong Pavilion" also issued conscription orders to many vassal families below, and the Song family was also assigned a lot of tasks.

Of course, when the sect collects supplies from the subordinate families, it does not mean that they work in vain. After all the supplies are counted, they will still be awarded corresponding merits of the sect.

Song Yuanxue and others came to escort these supplies and happened to meet Song Qingming at the sect's "Shangong Pavilion".

As soon as he saw Song Qingming walking down from the flying boat, Song Yuanxue quickly dismissed the people around him and went to meet him alone.

"Seventh Uncle! When I came to Guyang Mountain this time, Sixteenth Brother originally wanted me to inquire about the news in the south. I didn't expect to meet you so soon after we arrived."

"The demon tribe in Pei State has been relatively peaceful recently, and the war has basically stabilized. I told Uncle Bai that I would withdraw with everyone else first."

After Song Qingming responded, he smiled and nodded, then walked aside calmly.

Seeing this, Song Yuanxue immediately followed, and it was not until the two of them came to a place with few people that Song Qingming stopped, waved his hand, and placed a soundproof barrier beside him.

"Yuan Fang asked you to inquire about me, but what happened at home?"

This trip to Pei State to resist the demon army lasted nearly a year. Every month or so, Song Qingming would send a letter to the "Funiu Mountain" family via a flying boat that was transporting supplies to the front line to report his safety.

There has been no war in recent months, and he had already stated this in the letters he sent to his family. Logically speaking, Song Yuanfang should not have asked Song Yuanxue to come to "Guyang Mountain" to inquire about the war in the south at this time.

Hearing Song Qingming's question, Song Yuanxue quickly shook her head and said, "Please rest assured, Seventh Uncle, everything is fine at home!
But this time, Brother Sixteen did ask me to find out about the situation in the south. He didn’t tell me in detail, and I don’t know what he wanted to talk to you about.”

Hearing this, Song Qingming nodded slightly as if he was thinking about something, and then said nothing more. After giving a few instructions to Song Yuanxue and others, he did not stay in "Guyang Mountain". He said goodbye to Fang Baixuan and others who had returned with him, and walked quickly back to "Qinghe County".

As soon as he returned to the outside of the family's mountain protection formation, Song Qingming saw a figure in yellow coming towards him. It was Huang Siyuan, who had noticed Song Qingming's return to "Funiu Mountain" in advance.

"Husband! You are finally back safely."

Seeing that Huang Siyuan was not only a little surprised to see him, but also had a lot of relief on her face, Song Qingming quickly smiled and replied slowly:

“This war has had many twists and turns. I’m fine, but I’m sorry to have made you a little worried.

I happened to meet Yuan Xue at Guyang Mountain earlier and asked her about the war in the south, but what urgent matter do you and Yuan Fang need me for?"

Huang Siyuan nodded slightly after hearing this, her expression became a little serious again, and then she stepped forward and took Song Qingming's hand, and said softly:

"Husband! It's not that I have something to ask you, but there is a guest at home. Come with me to see her first, and you will know!"

After saying that, Huang Siyuan led Song Qingming through the "Funiu Mountain" mountain protection formation, and soon they arrived outside a cave on the top of the mountain.

This cave, located on the edge of the mountain top, was where Song Qingyu lived before he reached the stage of Dan formation.

Later, as his cultivation level improved, Song Qingyu felt that the cave was a little too small, so he moved to the other side of the mountain top and opened up a larger cave.

As Huang Siyuan threw a sound transmission talisman into the cave, a moment later, a woman in plain pink clothes walked out of the cave.

"Fellow Daoist He! I didn't expect it would be you who came. It's been many years since we last met. Fellow Daoist, it's been a long time since we last met."

Seeing that the person in front of him was He Mengxin, whom he had not seen for many years, Song Qingming showed a hint of surprise on his face, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and took the initiative to salute her.

Seeing Song Qingming, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, He Mengxin was also very happy. She bowed and said:

"I went out traveling several years ago, and after I came back I heard that fellow Taoist had gone to Baihua Palace to look for me.

Daoist friend, you saved my life in the past. It is a pity that I was unable to meet you this time. It is really a bit rude. I hope Daoist friend Song will not mind. "

"Haha! Daoist Fellow He, what are you talking about? We have known each other for many years, so there is no need to talk about our relationship. How can we care about such a small matter? Daoist Fellow, you are worrying too much.

I haven’t seen you for many years. I didn’t expect that my fellow Taoist has already broken through to the late Golden Core stage. This is truly a cause for celebration.

It’s just that in recent years, Yu Xin went to the East China Sea, and I didn’t know the news, otherwise I would definitely take the time to visit and share in the good news of fellow Taoist!"

Hearing Song Qingming mention his cultivation, He Mengxin, who had just broken through to the late Jindan stage, smiled and politely bowed:

“Fellow Daoist Song, you are too polite. I have only just broken through to the late Jindan stage. My cultivation is just following in your footsteps. How can I deserve such praise from you?

However, fellow Daoist’s cultivation has now reached the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm, and he is only one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm.

If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe that Fellow Daoist Song had reached such a realm in just a few decades.

After a few decades, if nothing unexpected happens, when I and others meet you again, I'm afraid we will have to call you "senior" instead. "

"Alas, those of us who practice cultivation know how difficult the great path is.

Except for the few gifted people like Senior Xia Mo in the world of immortal cultivation, people like us have average talents. It is very difficult for us to have the current level of cultivation. How many people dare to say that they can be sure of witnessing the Nascent Soul Stage?

Speaking of the matter of forming a baby, I really don't dare to speak rashly, Fellow Daoist He is praising me a little."

In the world of cultivating immortals, cultivators who have reached the stage of Dan can still achieve enlightenment with a bit of luck.

As for reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it is definitely not a matter of luck for a cultivator to have any hope of passing this stage.

Song Qingming didn't need to say much about this, as the three people present all knew it well.

Seeing Song Qingming sighing slightly, as if he was not very confident about his next breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm, He Mengxin nodded and responded:
“Daoyou, what you said is very true. Although I have not yet reached the level of Yuanying, I have seen a lot from the side.

Before Master Xia formed his infant, from what I have seen over the past few hundred years, there have been five or six people in our sect who have tried to reach this level, but all of them failed.

Back then, the eldest senior sister’s talent for cultivation was also far beyond ours, but her path was also blocked by this, and she eventually died in the process of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

It can be seen that the path to the Nascent Soul is definitely not as simple as we thought, otherwise there wouldn't be so few Nascent Soul cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation."

The senior sister that He Mengxin mentioned was Chen Yurong, the Jindan elder of the "Baihua Palace" who was killed by Xia Mo and Song Qingming when they were looking for her in "Yunwu Mountain".

However, after Chen Yurong got into trouble, in order to cover up this scandal in the sect, "Bai Hua Palace" described Chen Yurong's death as a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage and her death.

Except for a few people like Song Qingming and Xia Mo, no one else knew about this.

Even He Mengxin, the fellow disciple who was used as bait by Chen Yurong and almost died at her hands, is now aware of the truth and still regards her as the senior sister who takes good care of her.

In response, Song Qingming just smiled slightly and didn't say much.

The two of them greeted each other. After a while of being reserved, Song Qingming suddenly changed the subject and slowly asked He Mengxin, who was standing beside him:

"Now Yuxin and Changze have already gone to the East China Sea, and Qingyu has also gone out to travel with others. I wonder if Fellow Daoist He is here for other things?"

A few years ago, after Song Changze and Liu Yuxin went to the East China Sea, news came that Song Qingming had actually known for a long time that He Mengxin had returned from training.

Apart from his disciple Liu Yuxin, He Mengxin didn't have many concerns in "Qinghe County". Logically speaking, he wouldn't easily travel thousands of miles to come here.

This is also why Song Qingming had such an unexpected reaction when he saw He Mengxin before. He didn't know why the other party suddenly came to "Qinghe County".

After hearing what Song Qingming asked, He Mengxin shook her head and her expression immediately calmed down. Then she replied seriously:

"I was so busy talking to Fellow Daoist Song that I almost forgot about the main business.

Fellow Daoist Song, you may not know that I am here for Qing Yu!"

"Qingyu? Where is she now? What happened to her?"

After hearing what He Mengxin said, Huang Siyuan and Song Qingming both showed a little surprise on their faces. It was obvious that she didn't know the purpose of He Mengxin's visit before.

He Mengxin looked at Huang Siyuan who was also very nervous, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke directly to the two of them:

“Originally, Qingyu only told Fellow Daoist Song and I about this matter, but Fellow Daoist Huang is not an outsider either, so today I will tell you everything.

Qingyu is actually in our Baihua Palace right now, but she is injured and has difficulty moving, so she asked me to go there for her and find Brother Song to help."

"You said Qingyu was injured. How serious is her injury?"

"Yes! How is Qingyu now, Fellow Daoist He, what is going on?"

Since the family was still a small foundation-building clan that had just advanced to the stage of "Qinghe County", Song Qingming, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan have supported each other and have come all the way to where they are today after more than two hundred years.

Many of the elders and relatives around them were buried in the earth as time passed, leaving only the three of them.

After supporting each other for so many years and working together to develop the family to this day, the relationship between the three of them is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary clansmen.

Song Qingming and his wife had been a little worried when Song Qingyu went out to travel. Now that they heard that she was injured, they were extremely anxious. Seeing the two people in front of them looking at them anxiously, He Mengxin, who knew the reason very well, smiled and waved to them:

“Don’t worry, Qingyu was injured while exploring a relic overseas. It was only the Yin Qi that damaged his meridians. The injury is not too serious and his life is not in danger.

After the previous retreat and recuperation, her injuries have stabilized a lot.

It's just that she can recover faster. She can't go out freely right now, so I have to run an errand for her."

"In that case, it's good that she's fine. This girl always likes to go to dangerous places. No matter how much we advise her, she won't listen. This really makes Fellow Daoist He worry!"

Upon hearing that Song Qingyu's injuries were not serious, Song Qingming and the others slowly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to He Mengxin in front of them.

Afterwards, Song Qingming thought of something and bowed again and asked, "By the way, Fellow Daoist He!
When Qingyu went out to travel, there was a person who was also my good friend. I wonder if she is also in Baihua Palace now?"

After learning that Song Qingyu was safe, Song Qingming's mind immediately appeared again with his senior sister Li Xuanyi who was traveling with her. A trace of worry arose in his heart again, and he quickly asked another question.

Hearing Song Qingming asking about Song Qingyu's companions, He Mengxin thought for a moment and immediately replied:
"The person that Brother Daoist Song mentioned who was traveling with Qing Yu should be Brother Daoist Li!
Fellow Daoist is right. Fellow Daoist Li is also on Wanhu Island and is now living with Qingyu!

However, Daoyou Li was also injured in the open sea like Qingyu. Her injury is slightly more serious than Qingyu's. I don't know when she will be able to fully recover."

"Well, Daoist Fellow Li's injuries are so serious. I wonder what kind of elixir or spiritual object she needs to heal her. Please tell me frankly."

Upon hearing that his senior sister Li Xuanyi was also injured and the injury was quite serious, Song Qingming, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, instantly became nervous again.

Compared with Song Qingyu, senior sister Li Xuanyi also holds an equally important position in Song Qingming's heart.

It was not only because Li Xuanyi was his senior sister from the same sect, but also because when the monsters in the Floating Cloud Mountains were in turmoil, Li Xuanyi had risked her life to rescue Huang Siyuan and the others, and had also saved Song Qingming's life.

It was a life-saving grace for him and the entire Song family.

Besides, Senior Sister Li Xuanyi’s identity is also extraordinary.

If something serious really happened to her, not only would he not be able to explain to his master "Taoist Lingxu" in the future, but he was also afraid that the people from the Li family would not let Song Qingming off easily when they found out about this.

Seeing that Song Qingming seemed to be equally worried about Li Xuanyi's injury, He Mengxin, who was not very clear about their relationship, looked at him with some surprise, then quickly smiled and shook her head at Song Qingming and said:
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist, although fellow Daoist Li is more seriously injured, her life is not in danger.

Moreover, she has already taken our sect's secret medicine. Although I don't know exactly how serious her injury is now, it should have improved."

"Oh! Well, thank you for your help.

Please rest assured, fellow Taoist, Fellow Taoist Li is also a good friend of mine!

If Qingyu and the others need any of your sect's elixirs or spiritual objects, Daoist He, just tell me now, and my Song family will compensate you at the original price."

Hearing this, He Mengxin immediately smiled and waved to Song Qingming:
"Fellow Daoist Song has misunderstood. Although Fellow Daoist Li and Qingyu used some elixirs and spiritual objects when they were healing in our sect, they were not very expensive. Moreover, the two of them have already paid the spiritual stones and do not owe our Baihua Palace any spiritual objects."

After saying this, seeing that Song Qingming and the others' expressions had eased a little, He Mengxin continued to speak:
"Fellow Daoist Song, I came to Qinghe County this time. In addition to explaining Qingyu and the others' current situation, I also have something more important to tell you."

"If you are not in such a hurry, please go to the attic and have a cup of spiritual tea. We will talk slowly!"

When Song Qingming first learned that Song Qingyu and the other were injured, he thought that it was because their injuries were serious that He Mengxin came in person to convey the news.

After learning that the injuries of the two did not seem to be very serious, Song Qingming was a little puzzled as to why He Mengxin had to make this trip.

Hearing that the other party had something important to say, Song Qingming immediately understood that this should be the biggest reason for her trip, and hurriedly bowed and invited the other party to the "Huixian Pavilion".

After Huang Siyuan brought the brewed spiritual tea, He Mengxin took over the topic and continued to talk with Song Qingming:
"Fellow Daoist Song, I came here to look for you this time because Qingyu and Fellow Daoist Li asked me to come."

".."

In the following time, He Mengxin, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were in the "Huixian Pavilion" on the top of the mountain, drinking tea and chatting, and slowly told all the reasons why she came to "Funiu Mountain".

After He Mengxin finished explaining her purpose, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan gradually understood why Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi were injured outside, and they couldn't help but worry for them.

When Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu traveled to the "East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World" for the first time, they accidentally discovered a "teleportation array" left by an ancient cultivator in a ruin in the outer sea.

It was just because the two of them had low levels of cultivation at the time that they were unable to break in. They could only agree to wait until their cultivation levels improved in the future before going there together to continue exploring.

No one else knew about this except Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu themselves.

Even Song Qingming, who was close to them, had only some guesses before and was not aware of the secret they were hiding in their hearts.

It was not until a few years ago that Song Qingyu's cultivation broke through to the late Jindan realm, and the two of them once again went to the ruins located off the coast of the "East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World" to explore the "teleportation array."

As a result, although they successfully entered this time, they encountered very powerful restrictions inside.

After a hard fight, the two managed to escape, but they were also injured and have been staying on Wanhu Island where the "Baihua Palace" is located, recovering for almost a year.

After knowing that they couldn't break through the restriction with their own strength, Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu discussed it this time and finally decided to ask a few powerful helpers for help and try to break through the restriction again.

This led to the incident where He Mengxin later helped run errands and came to "Qinghe County" to pass on the message.

The reason why He Mengxin came here specifically to find Song Qingming was not only because of Song Qingyu's relationship, but also because she had been invited to participate in it. The only other reason was Song Qingming, the purpose of her trip.

After hearing what He Mengxin had to say, Song Qingming did not rush to agree, but asked quietly with a calm expression:
"What kind of powerful restriction has caused Qingyu and the other two to be injured like this? Does Daoist He know?"

Hearing this, He Mengxin immediately shook her head helplessly and said:

“Fellow Daoist Song, you may not know that Qingyu is very cautious about this matter.

Apart from what I have said, nothing else was told to me.

Even when I wanted to invite other friends to help, they were worried and insisted that I come all the way here to ask you to go."

After hearing He Mengxin's explanation, Song Qingming was not too surprised.

Those who can cultivate to the Golden Elixir realm in the world of immortal cultivation will naturally not lack a sense of vigilance against others.

When it comes to exploring dangerous ruins and secret places together, no matter who you are, you will naturally try to find someone close to you to go with you.

He Mengxin and Song Qingyu have known each other for many years and have always had a good relationship, so they can naturally be trusted.

However, the other monks from the Hundred Flowers Palace were not familiar with Song Qingyu and the others, so they did not dare to trust them easily.

Song Qingming is Song Qingyu's elder brother and Li Xuanyi's fellow apprentice. He is one of the few people they can trust. Even if it takes more time, they will definitely give him priority when looking for help.

".."

Two days later, on a barren mountain on the east side of "Funiu Mountain".

Looking at Huang Siyuan who came to see him off, Song Qingming looked at her with a guilty look on his face and sighed softly:

"I just came back and I'm about to leave. It's really hard to say it. I'm going to have to work hard on the family side again!"

"My dear husband, please don't be so formal. Even if it's Qingyu's matter, it's our own business and there's no need to say more.

Don't worry, I will take care of the household affairs.

I hope you will be careful and come back soon!"

In response to Huang Siyuan's gentle admonition, Song Qingming nodded slightly, then stepped onto the "Phantom Boat" beside him, turned into a ray of light and disappeared on the spot.

Because he was concerned about the injuries of Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi, Song Qingming hurried along the way and did not delay too much.

It took He Mengxin and him less than a month to successfully cross the mountains and seas along the way and arrive at Wanhu Island, the "East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World" hundreds of thousands of miles away.

As soon as he arrived at the "Baihua Palace", Song Qingming, under the leadership of He Mengxin, came to a cave located in the market town at the foot of the mountain.

As the sound transmission talisman in He Mengxin's hand was sent into the cave, the restrictions at the entrance of the cave gradually disappeared, and then a figure that Song Qingming was very familiar with walked out quickly from the cave.

"Seventh Brother! You really came. I was worried that you couldn't come because of something."

"Qingyu, how is your injury? And where is Fellow Daoist Li Li now?"

Seeing Song Qingyu still with a pale face in front of him, Song Qingming originally wanted to say something to scold her, but the words just came to his lips and fell back immediately. Then he asked with a worried look on his face.

"Seventh Brother! Don't worry, I'm fine."

Hearing this, Song Qingyu immediately smiled and nodded, then turned sideways, revealing another figure not far behind him. (End of this chapter)
