Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 857: What does the protector want to do?

Normal cultivators who want to retreat to break through the Nascent Soul stage usually have to look for a suitable high-level spiritual vein to retreat, and they also have to prepare spiritual objects for forming the Nascent Soul and people to protect them in advance.

Generally, cultivators need to prepare the various items needed to form a fetus at least several years in advance.

The reason why they need to be so cautious is that it is very unusual for a cultivator to condense his Nascent Soul. Once any accident occurs during the process, it is very likely that he will die.

Especially the "Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation" that comes at the end of the Nascent Soul formation. The strange phenomena in heaven and earth can reach thousands of miles away. Such a big movement cannot be hidden from the surrounding cultivators or monsters.

If someone comes to disturb the person who is undergoing the tribulation, the person will be in great danger.

Therefore, generally speaking, even if human cultivators want to form a baby, they will choose to go into seclusion in their own relatively safe sect. No one would dare to try to form a baby in seclusion in the wilderness where monsters are rampant.

When Li Xuanyi heard Song Qingming say that his current plan was to retreat under the volcano to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, he thought he had misheard and asked in surprise.

But the next moment, Song Qingming, who had already guessed that she would be so surprised, immediately explained to her:

"Senior Sister Li! I know that my decision was a bit impulsive, but at this point, apart from retreating to break through the Nascent Soul stage, I have no other way out.

Regardless of the final result, I will give it a try!"

Seeing Song Qingming's serious expression and something strange happening to him, Li Xuanyi was still very confused, but he quickly calmed down.

"Junior Brother Song! If you are really sure, I can't persuade you anymore.

However, this place is not only extremely dangerous, but also lacks spiritual energy.

Even if we can find a way to find a protector for you, it may be difficult to help you break through.

The matter of forming a Nascent Soul is no small matter. Junior Brother Song, are you ready to break through to the Nascent Soul stage now?"

Hearing this, Song Qingming nodded again with a serious expression and said:

“Don’t worry, Senior Sister Li. I have already prepared the items to end my infant spirit, and all the necessary formations have been set up.

Because I devoured a high-level spiritual object here before, the spiritual power in my body is now sufficient. Even without relying on the spiritual energy provided by the spiritual veins, it is enough to impact the Nascent Soul realm.

Now, for me, I have prepared for other things, the most dangerous thing is the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation after the formation of the infant.

Although there are no high-level monsters near Luoxiayuan, this place is deep in the open sea after all.

The Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation makes such a big noise that it may not be hidden from the Nascent Soul Demon King nearby. If you want to get through this tribulation safely, you need to ask at least one reliable Nascent Soul master to help protect you.

I still have a fourth-level spiritual medicine on me. Please help me send a message to Qingyu and ask her to take it back to the Floating Cloud Mountains and see if she can ask the elders of the sect to come and protect me."

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he used his magic power slightly to take out a golden wooden box and placed it in front of his senior sister Li Xuanyi.

Seeing this! Li Xuanyi said nothing more and immediately put away the wooden box in front of him.

"Junior Brother Song, don't worry, I will definitely help you with this matter!"

After Li Xuanyi responded, he immediately sat cross-legged in front of Song Qingming, took out the spirit stone and began to recover his own magic power.

It was not until more than an hour later, when the magic power in his body had almost recovered, that Li Xuanyi stopped meditating and stood up.

Seeing that senior sister Li Xuanyi was about to say goodbye to him and leave, Song Qingming took out another robe from his body and handed it to her.

"Senior Sister Li, this is a fire-proof robe I found by chance. If you put it on, you can save a lot of mana and travel freely here."

Seeing the "Fire-Proofing Robe" that Song Qingming handed to him, Li Xuanyi, who had suffered enough in the lava before, suddenly looked happy and took it with joy.

After putting on the "Fire-Proofing Robe", Li Xuanyi immediately felt an extremely cool chill enveloping his body. He smiled and said to Song Qingming beside him:

"Junior Brother Song, no wonder you have the courage to come here, it turns out it's because you have such a great treasure on you.

This item is really crucial to getting in and out of here, why don't you lend it to me temporarily, and then return it to you when you succeed in forming a baby in the future?"

"Yeah! That's fine."

Hearing this, Li Xuanyi nodded slightly, then turned into a streak of white light and disappeared on the spot. The next moment, he rushed directly into the magma above.

Not long after his senior sister Li Xuanyi left, a voice immediately came into Song Qingming's ears from behind, causing a hint of embarrassment to appear on his face.

"Boy! I remember that I only lent you this Fire-Proofing Robe. It should still be considered my treasure!

If you take my things and give them away directly, shouldn’t you say hello to me first? "

"Senior! Since you don't even want the Level 4 elixir I gave you, it seems a bit stingy to say this now.

Please rest assured, I am just lending this item to my senior sister so that she can help me find a protector.

After I form my Nascent Soul, I will naturally find a way to get her to return this item to its original owner."

"Haha! I was just talking, how can I be so petty with you little brats.

Forget it, it's just a special magic weapon. If you can successfully form a baby, I'll just treat it as a gift to you."

"In that case, I would like to thank you for your presence here!"

Hearing what Qu Bai said, Song Qingming smiled and nodded, then closed his eyes and began to cast a spell again to seal the spiritual power in his body.
-
One stick of incense later, we arrived at the crater of the underwater volcano.

Seeing that Senior Sister Li Xuanyi had been in there for such a long time and had not yet come out of the magma, Song Qingyu, who was standing at the crater, had an expression of extreme anxiety on his face.

"Seventh Brother, Senior Sister Li, please don't let anything happen to you! Otherwise, I will..."

Just when Song Qingyu was extremely anxious and worried about the safety of Song Qingming and Li Xuanyi, a white light suddenly flew out from the magma and landed in front of Song Qingyu.

Seeing the white light in front of him, Song Qingyu was stunned at first, then a look of joy immediately appeared on his face, and he moved towards the location of the white light.

"Senior Sister Li! You finally came out. How's it going? Did you find Brother Seven?"

"Qingyu, I found Junior Brother Song, but he ran into a big trouble and can't come out for the time being?"

".."

Facing Song Qingyu's anxious face, Li Xuanyi first nodded slightly, and then with a serious face, told Song Qingyu everything that Song Qingming had encountered downstairs.

After learning the news that Song Qingming was going to retreat under the volcano to break through the Nascent Soul stage, Song Qingyu was as shocked as Li Xuanyi was at the beginning, and it was a little unbelievable for a moment.

"Qingyu! I know you may find this hard to believe, to be honest, I felt the same way at the beginning.

But what I just said were all told to me by Junior Brother Song himself, and there is absolutely no concealment.

Moreover, when I met Junior Brother Song downstairs, I indeed felt a very strong special spiritual power from him. I believe what he said should be true.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have entrusted such an important spiritual object directly to me!"

When Song Qingyu saw the fourth-level elixir in the golden wooden box taken out by senior sister Li Xuanyi, he recognized it at a glance, and his eyes gradually changed from shock to complexity.

After a while, Song Qingyu, whose heart had completely calmed down, reached out to take the golden wooden box from Li Xuanyi's hand, and bowed to her with a serious face and said:

"Senior Sister Li, I need to return to the Floating Cloud Mountains immediately. I hope you can help me stay here and protect my seventh brother.

Qingyu, thank you so much! "

Hearing this, Li Xuanyi nodded and said, "Qingyu, don't worry, I'm here and nothing will happen for the time being.

It may not be an easy task to invite reliable monks to come and protect Junior Brother Song.

I am unfamiliar with this place and have no familiar Nascent Soul cultivators to help me. I can only rely on you for this matter.

Qingyu, you should also take this magical medicine with you, so that you can use it if needed."

Seeing that senior sister Li Xuanyi took out another fourth-grade low-grade spiritual medicine from her body, Song Qingyu was about to refuse, but was stopped by Li Xuanyi.

"Qingyu, Junior Brother Song's baby formation is the most important thing right now, don't worry too much about other material things.

After all, you all call me Senior Sister, so I can’t refuse if I can help you!"

Seeing that Senior Sister Li Xuanyi's eyes were full of determination, Song Qingyu thought about it and said nothing more. He responded with an An Xin, then turned into a beam of light and left the spot.

After leaving "Luoxiayuan", Song Qingyu went straight back to Floating Cloud Mountains without stopping.

After returning to the family, Song Qingyu immediately informed Huang Siyuan of the news.

After learning that Song Qingming was in seclusion in the open sea to condense his Nascent Soul, Huang Siyuan became extremely anxious. After the two of them discussed it, they rushed to the sect together and informed the sect's ancestor Li Mufeng, who was in seclusion, about this matter.

Not long after, Bai Yuxian, who was stationed at the front line of Pei State, received a message from the sect and quietly left the front line and returned to the "Xiaoyao Sect".

In a cave filled with spiritual energy on the top of "Guyang Mountain".

At this time, the sect's supreme elder Li Mufeng, and several other Jindan elders, Li Wutong, Chu Fengping, Chen Xuanxin, and Xu Ziyan.

They were sitting upright in the cave, each with a solemn look on their face.

"Uncle Li, I think we need to be more cautious about this matter and we can't send people to the East China Sea easily.

Although Junior Brother Song is not an outsider, he is only a guest elder of the sect after all. If Junior Brother Song were in seclusion in the sect, we would definitely do our best to protect him, but now he is in seclusion in the East China Sea Xiuxian Realm, and it is too dangerous to go there rashly.

Right now, there is the Demon King holding back the sect in the south, and in the north, in several places close to "Golden Feather Mountain", the activities of demon beasts have become more and more frequent.

If the sect withdraws too much manpower to the East China Sea, once the monsters learn of this news, they will surely attack us from the north and south, and the entire Wei State will be in danger.

I hope Master Uncle will be careful about this matter."

Hearing what Li Wutong said, Xu Ziyan on the side immediately objected, "Senior Brother Li, this is wrong!

Senior Brother Song has contributed so much to the sect over the years. Since Qingyu and the others have come to us for help, and are willing to donate a fourth-level spiritual medicine to the sect, it shows their sincerity.

If we really don't care, it will be unacceptable. We can't let them take the spiritual objects to ask outsiders for help.

If Senior Brother Song fails to break through this time and dies in the open sea, I am afraid Qingyu, Junior Sister Huang and the entire Song family will turn against us in the future.

On the other hand, if Senior Brother Song really succeeds in forming a fetus, the sect's actions would also make him feel disheartened, which would be a huge loss for us."

Seeing Xu Ziyan's excitement, Chu Fengping beside her nodded slightly and said:

“Junior Sister Xu is right, this matter is indeed a bit tricky, but you don’t have to be too anxious.

Right now, it will probably take more than ten years to protect Junior Brother Song. If too many people go, it will be dangerous for the sect. We have to take these things into consideration.

This is Junior Brother Song’s first attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage. I don’t think it will cause too much noise. It’s not as dangerous as you think.

It would be better to discuss it with Junior Sister Song and the others to see if we can send other fellow disciples to help protect the law first.

As long as Master Li and Master Bai are still in the sect, I don’t think the monsters will be able to cause much trouble!”

Hearing Chu Fengping's proposal of a "best of both worlds" strategy, Xu Ziyan was about to say something when suddenly a white figure appeared outside the door. It was Bai Yuxian who had just returned from the front line of Pei State.

"Greetings, Uncle Bai!"

After seeing Bai Yuxian appear, Li Wutong and others hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to him.

Seeing this, Bai Yuxian quickly waved to the people in front of her, and then returned a salute to Li Mufeng not far away.

"Junior Sister Bai, you should know everything about Qingming. I asked you to come back this time just to hear your thoughts on how we should deal with this matter."

Facing Li Mufeng's question, Bai Yuxian replied directly with a serious expression:

"Brother Li, I am very clear about the message.

On the way here, I thought about this matter carefully, and I still feel that we cannot ignore it. We must go to the East China Sea to protect Junior Brother Song in his retreat.

Right now, although our territory is relatively peaceful, the sect is already surrounded by crises. We must find a way to resolve this predicament as soon as possible.

This time, Junior Brother Song's birth of a baby may be an opportunity for us to break the impasse, and we must not take this matter lightly.

I want to go to the East China Sea in person, so it would be better for Pei State to spend some money to ask other people to help take charge for a while.

With the fourth-level spiritual medicine offered by Qingyu as a price, I think it should not be difficult to use it to ask a fellow Yuanying Daoist for help. "

"This fourth-level spiritual medicine is a rare spiritual object. It would be a pity to just give it away like this!"

Upon hearing that Bai Yuxian was going to directly use the fourth-level elixir offered by Song Qingyu, Chu Fengping, who knew its value best, felt a pang of pain on his face and said something with some reluctance.

Hearing this, Bai Yuxian shook his head and said, "It is not so easy to ask a Nascent Soul cultivator for help.

If we don't pay a price, they may not really help us even if they come. This is related to the safety of the sect, so we must not lose the big picture for the sake of a small one."

Seeing Bai Yuxian coming up, he directly expressed his thoughts. Li Mufeng, who had not yet made up his mind, finally made up his mind at this moment and nodded gently:
"Junior Sister Bai, this is a very prudent statement. I'll do as you say. I'll leave Qingming to you.

As for Pei State, I will consider the arrangements and see if I can ask Brother Zheng to come and take charge.

A fourth-level spiritual medicine should be enough to attract them!"

Seeing that the two ancestors had already made the decision, Xu Ziyan and others did not say much and quickly nodded in agreement.

Half a day later, Song Qingyu and the other person who were in the sect's "Xiaoyao Hall" finally got a response from the sect after waiting for nearly half a month.

Fortunately, this news did not disappoint Song Qingyu and the others. After some discussion, the sect was willing to send Bai Yuxian to the East China Sea to protect Song Qingming and to form a baby.

However, as a price, Song Qingyu also offered the sect a fourth-level spiritual medicine to help the sect invite a Nascent Soul cultivator to go to Pei State to replace Bai Yuxian.
-
One year later, at the "Luoxiayuan" in the East China Sea, on a deserted island near the abyss.

One day, three beams of light suddenly flew over and landed directly on a high mountain above the deserted island, and then turned into three human figures.

"Uncle Bai! This should be the island closest to the volcano below."

After glancing around, Bai Yuxian nodded slightly, and then spoke to the two people beside him:

"Well! Let's go here. I've just checked around and there aren't any powerful monsters nearby.

With you guys down there and me in charge, there shouldn't be any problems in the short term."

Hearing this, Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu on the side hurriedly nodded and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Bai!"

After spending a fourth-level spiritual medicine to invite the White Jade Fairy Queen, Song Qingyu took her and Huang Siyuan back to the East China Sea. They soon met Song Qingming who was in seclusion under the underwater volcano.

After learning about Song Qingming's specific situation, Bai Yuxian chose to act separately with Song Qingyu and the other two.

First, they spent a lot of time setting up a third-grade superior formation at the location of the underwater volcano, and asked Song Qingyu, Huang Siyuan and Li Xuanyi to guard the formation.

She herself chose to sit on a deserted island far above the abyss, taking precautions against those highly skilled Nascent Soul Demon Kings approaching the underwater volcano where Song Qingming was in seclusion.

This can be regarded as preparing an extra layer of protection outside in advance. Even if a major war breaks out nearby, it will basically not affect Song Qingming's retreat and infant formation below.

After bringing Bai Yuxian here, Song Qingyu and his companions quickly left the deserted island and returned to the underwater volcano again.

At this time, Song Qingming, who was in seclusion in the underwater volcano, finally relaxed a little after learning that Bai Yuxian had arrived outside.

After using Qu Baige's method to successfully block all the spiritual power in his dantian, Song Qingming no longer hesitated and immediately began to try to polish the golden elixir in his body in preparation for a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm.

Because he had already absorbed the "Red Sun Divine Thunder" into his body, Song Qingming followed Qu Bai's suggestion and began to polish the golden elixir directly with the help of the divine thunder in his body.

What he didn't expect was that after trying it, Song Qingming found that he not only successfully polished and strengthened the golden elixir in his body, but also saved him a lot of time in tempering the elixir with his vital energy.

Gathering the spirit in the heart of the elixir and tempering the vital energy in the elixir are the first two steps for a cultivator to break through the Nascent Soul stage.

Although these two parts are much less difficult than the later "Fetus Transformation into Nascent Soul", they are also very complicated matters and require a lot of time from the cultivators.

When Song Qingming tried to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the "Heavenly Fire Illusion", he also spent a lot of energy on these two levels before he successfully passed them.

I don’t know why, but this time when Song Qingming was in seclusion to form his infant, he took these two steps very smoothly, saving at least half the time compared to the original time in the “Heavenly Fire Illusion”.

Song Qingming himself could not determine the reason for this for a moment.

However, according to Qu Bai, who had been following him, it seemed that his speed in this regard had increased so much because of the powerful spiritual power of the "Flame Heart Jade" contained in his body.

However, these did not continue to appear when Song Qingming's "fetus transformed into Nascent Soul" came.

At this stage, Song Qingming could only proceed steadily based on his past experience and move forward step by step.

Because this time he has no way out after forming a Nascent Soul, if he fails to form a Nascent Soul, he will die.

Therefore, after Song Qingming decided to start his attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage, he did not harbor any hope of luck.

Before preparing for the "fetal transformation into Nascent Soul", Song Qingming had already taken two spiritual objects he had prepared to assist in forming the Nascent Soul, the "Thunder Infant Fruit" and the "Infant-cultivating Pill".

These two spiritual objects can both assist cultivators in transforming the fetus into a Nascent Soul, and he spent a lot of energy and spiritual stones to obtain them over the years.

After successively refining the medicinal effects of the "Thunder Infant Fruit" and "Infant-cultivating Pill" in his body, Song Qingming suddenly felt that the golden elixir in his body began to show a slight softening change. He immediately cast a spell to control his magic power and began to "transform the fetus into the Nascent Soul".

"At this point, Song Qingming has no way out. Success or failure depends on whether he can pass this level smoothly."

Just like that, five years passed quickly and time flew by.

One day, Bai Yuxian, who was meditating in seclusion in a cave on a deserted island, suddenly felt a strange fluctuation of spiritual energy nearby. He then opened his eyes, stood up and walked out of his cave.

Bai Yuxian, who had just come outside, saw that there were suddenly some rolling white clouds in the sky around him, and a trace of doubt immediately appeared on his face.

"This is a strange phenomenon in heaven and earth, could it be that he is about to transcend the calamity?

No, it shouldn't be so quick to form a baby. These don't look like thunder tribulation phenomena. What on earth is going on?"

Just as Bai Yuxian was about to get up and go to the sea to check, he suddenly felt a powerful aura rushing towards him quickly, and his face suddenly became solemn.

After a while, a red light flew over the distant sky, landed over the deserted island where Bai Yuxian was, and transformed into a bearded man in a red robe.

The red-robed man glanced at the Fairy Queen White Jade standing on the deserted island below, his face was surprised, and he asked loudly:
"My fellow Daoist, this place is not the territory of human cultivators. What do you intend to do here?"
