Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 861: Snow Viewing, Finally Here

Spring goes and winter comes, time flies, and almost a year has passed since Song Qingming went into seclusion.

As winter approached, a layer of white snowflakes slowly fell from the sky above "Luoxiayuan" and quickly disappeared into the sea.

Some of the snow fell on a deserted island near the abyss, turning the original bluestone and green grass into a blanket of white.

Several white seabirds stood on a huge rock at the edge of the island. With the help of the heavy snow, their bodies almost blended into the surrounding snowflakes.

They stared cautiously at the sea surface below, waiting for prey that might appear in the sea at any time.

At this time, on the seabed beneath the abyss, a golden light suddenly shot up into the sky, flew out from the magma under the "undersea volcano", and stopped above the mountain pass.

As the spiritual light faded, a figure in a green robe suddenly appeared in mid-air. Looking at the boiling sea water around him, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

After a moment, Song Qingming retracted his gaze and suddenly spoke to the person behind him:
"Senior! We will have someone to accompany us when we go up, so please bear with it for a while. When we reach the Floating Cloud Mountains, I will find a suitable place for you to practice."

As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, a voice from behind immediately came directly into his ears.

"Yeah! No problem.

You don't have to worry too much. Their cultivation is only at the Golden Core stage. Even if their spiritual sense is strong, they won't be able to notice anything unusual.

From now on, unless you encounter a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, you may not be able to find any clues, so just rest assured."

Hearing Qu Bai's confident answer, Song Qingming nodded slightly and quickly left the spot.

The next moment, it turned into a beam of light and flew towards the top of the sea.

Not long after, a group of birds hunting above the island suddenly saw a noise in the sea below, followed by a group of flying fish leaping high from the sea.

Just as these birds were filled with joy and stood up to hunt these flying fish, they did not expect that the surface of the nearby sea suddenly bulged with water, and then a golden light flew up from below.

Seeing the sudden appearance of golden light, the nearby fish and seabirds that were hunting were startled. They immediately lost their focus on hunting and quickly left the vicinity of the island.

The golden light didn't care about all this and jumped out of the sea and landed on the white deserted island.

As soon as he arrived on the island, a ray of light came flying from a distance and landed in front of Song Qingming. It was Huang Siyuan who stayed here to protect him.

"Husband, I thought you would be able to come out in half a year, but I didn't expect it to take you so long to come out. If it were any later, I'm afraid Qingyu would worry and chase you here again."

Seeing Huang Siyuan coming towards him, Song Qingming quickly explained:

"A few months ago, my cultivation had almost stabilized, but because there was a problem with the internal technique, I spent a lot of time to comprehend it.

I forgot the time for a moment down there, and I'm sorry to have made you worried!"

Song Qingming originally estimated that it would take half a year of seclusion to stabilize his cultivation.

However, he did not expect that refining the remaining "Flame Heart Jade" in his body was not as easy as he imagined.

Even though his cultivation had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, Song Qingming still had to spend several more months to completely refine the "Flame Heart Jade" in his body.

However, although it took a lot of time, after completely refining the "Flame Heart Jade", Song Qingming also gained a lot of benefits.

The huge amount of spiritual power remaining in this "Flame Heart Jade" not only helped Song Qingming to quickly consolidate his own cultivation, but also helped him to increase the magic power gained from nearly twenty years of hard practice out of thin air.

Although Song Qingming has just broken through the Nascent Soul stage not long ago, his internal cultivation has already reached the halfway level of the peak of the first Nascent Soul stage.

The time required for him to break through the second level of Nascent Soul would save him at least twenty years compared to others, and he would be able to advance to the second level of Nascent Soul one step faster.

The two have supported each other for many years, and Huang Siyuan has great trust in Song Qingming.

After hearing his explanation, Huang Siyuan not only did not have the slightest doubt, but instead asked about it with a worried look on her face, fearing that there might be problems with Song Qingming's practice.

Seeing this, Song Qingming hurriedly explained to her again, and Huang Siyuan slowly felt relieved.

"Oh, right! Siyuan, why can't I see Senior Sister Li? Has she left?"

Song Qingming had been out of seclusion for such a long time, but still hadn't seen his senior sister Li Xuanyi. He couldn't help feeling confused and asked.

Hearing what Song Qingming said, Huang Siyuan's attention was immediately diverted to Li Xuanyi. She smiled and pointed to a cave above the island and replied:

“Some time ago, Senior Sister Li suddenly felt a bottleneck loosening during her cultivation, so she went into seclusion to see if she could break through.

It has been a few months now, and I think there will be results soon.”

"Oh! That's a really good thing, but there are no high-level spiritual veins nearby, and the spiritual energy is not very sufficient.

Senior Sister Li is in seclusion here to break through. Have you prepared the spirit stones in advance?"

Prior to this, Senior Sister Li Xuanyi’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the eighth level of the Golden Core, and she was only one step away from breaking through to the ninth level of the Golden Core.

Hearing that Li Xuanyi was already in seclusion to break through, Song Qingming was not surprised. He was just a little worried that she chose to break through here and might not have enough spiritual energy.

Huang Siyuan knew that Song Qingming was worried, so she nodded and said:
"Don't worry, my husband. Senior Sister Li still has enough spirit stones. Before she went into seclusion, I specially gave her a hundred middle-grade spirit stones. It must be enough for her to break through the realm."

"In that case, everything has been taken care of. We will just have to wait patiently for Senior Sister Li to come out of seclusion."

Seeing that Huang Siyuan had already made careful arrangements, Song Qingming immediately smiled and nodded, putting aside the worry in his heart.

Because they still had to wait for Senior Sister Li Xuanyi to come out of seclusion, although Song Qingming and the others were eager to return home, they still needed to stay to protect her and did not choose to leave the deserted island in a hurry.

The two looked at the heavy snow falling from the sky, and once again walked side by side, facing the snowflakes, towards the top of the mountain in the middle of the deserted island.

The white snow soon covered both of them.

By the time Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan reached the top of the mountain, not only were their bodies covered with snowflakes, but even the ends of their hair were already filled with a lot of snow.

Looking at Song Qingming, whose hair was already full of white snow, Huang Siyuan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but smile at him:
“My dear, look at the two of us, we look like a young man with white hair and a few hundred years old.

I wonder if our faces will be like this when we grow old? "

"Yeah! I think even if there are some changes, it should be about the same!

The path of cultivation is extremely dangerous, and no one knows whether they will encounter an unexpected accident tomorrow.

For us, if we can really live out our lives like ordinary people, it might not be such a bad ending.”

After saying that, Song Qingming smiled and put his hand between Huang Siyuan's eyebrows, gently wiping away the remaining white snowflakes on her face.

After practicing all the way to the Nascent Soul stage, Song Qingming is now at the top of the immortal cultivation world and has become a cultivator capable of controlling his own destiny.

However, even if his cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage, it cannot be said that Song Qingming is absolutely safe in this world.

There are still many masters in the late Nascent Soul stage and the legendary God Transformation cultivators in this world of immortal cultivation.

Although these people are relatively rare and hard to see, most of them are in seclusion all year round for their own cultivation. They rarely come out and take care of trivial matters in the world of immortal cultivation.

But if he accidentally offended these people, it would also be a very dangerous thing for Song Qingming now.

Even if I am really lucky, I won't encounter these dangers.

Considering the lifespan of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, Song Qingming can only live for another thousand years at most, as he will eventually grow old.

If they could grow old with Huang Siyuan and live another thousand years together in this world, it would certainly not be a bad thing for them.

As for whether he would have the opportunity to make further progress in the future and advance to the realm of transformation like his master "Lingxu Taoist".

This will probably happen at least hundreds or thousands of years later.

Having just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, Song Qingming couldn't think that far ahead and could only do his current job well.

Looking at Song Qingming who was carefully helping her tidy up her hair in front of her, Huang Siyuan showed a look of happiness on her face, and just kept looking at him quietly.

It was not until Song Qingming put down his hands with a satisfied look that Huang Siyuan smiled at him and slowly spoke:

"My husband is already a Nascent Soul cultivator, and he can enjoy at least a thousand years of life, but I don't know how far I can accompany you.

No matter what the future holds, I hope you and I will have the opportunity to see each other grow old together."

"Don't worry, I will!"

".."
-
Three months later, in Floating Cloud Mountains, the Song family's "White Lion Square".

Since the Song family founded "White Lion Square", they have been patiently operating this market. Now "White Lion Square" has long been the largest market in the northeast of Wei State.

However, the "White Lion Square", which had always been bustling and prosperous, has seen fewer pedestrians and monks on the streets in recent times.

Even many shops in the market town have closed down early, and the place looks a bit run-down.

Next to a square platform in the middle of the "White Lion Square", Song Linrui, with an anxious look on his face, was guarding below the platform with a dozen monks from the Square Law Enforcement Team.

Not long after, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared above the platform. After the white light faded away, more than a dozen figures appeared above the platform.

Seeing Song Qingyu and Fang Baixuan walking in front of them from the "teleportation array", everyone, led by Song Linrui, bowed respectfully to everyone.

"Greetings to the ancestor!"

Song Qingyu glanced at everyone, then looked up at the sky, nodded slightly and said, "Where are Yuan Hao and the others now?" "Reporting to the ancestor, the market has been opened in advance, and Elder Yuan Hao and the others are now in the market law enforcement hall."

"Then take us there quickly!"

Under the leadership of Song Linrui, everyone quickly arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall in the market town and met Song Yuanhao and others who were anxiously discussing things.

Seeing Song Qingyu and others walking in from outside the hall, Song Yuanhao and others were immediately delighted and hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.

Seeing this, Song Qingyu quickly waved his hand and said:
"No need to be polite, just tell me the situation first!"

Hearing this, Song Yuanhao quickly responded, "Grandma, we received the news more than ten days ago, near Caotou Mountain, 500 miles northeast of Fangshi..."

The reason why Song Qingyu and Fang Baixuan, two Jindan cultivators, suddenly came to "White Lion Square".

This was because more than ten days ago, a demon beast in the middle stage of foundation building suddenly came and occupied the second-level spiritual vein "Caotou Mountain" located hundreds of miles northeast of "White Lion Square".

After this monster occupied this place, it constantly attacked the monks who passed by the "Floating Cloud Mountains" to hunt monsters and collect herbs. In just seven or eight days, more than a dozen low-level monks died at its mouth.

Among them was a foundation-building cultivator who wanted to subdue demons, but he was also defeated by the demons and died on "Caotou Mountain".

This incident caused panic among the people living near the "White Lion Square". Many monks did not dare to pass by this place casually, and it gradually affected the reputation of the square.

Seeing that the monster was so ferocious, Song Yuanhao and others stationed in the "White Lion Square" immediately sent out a law enforcement team headed by Song Xuanting and three other foundation-building cultivators, hoping to eradicate the monster in one fell swoop.

It was just to deal with a mid-stage foundation building monster. Logically, Song Xuanting and three other foundation building cultivators should have taken action.

Unexpectedly, after Song Xuanting and more than 100 members of the Fangshi law enforcement team went to "Caotou Mountain", they never returned to Fangshi and suddenly lost all contact.

Song Yuanhao sent several waves of law enforcement monks to the vicinity of "Caotou Mountain" to inquire about the news, but none of them returned.

At this moment, Song Yuanhao and others had already noticed something was wrong and quickly reported the matter to the family, which led to the arrival of Song Qingyu and Fang Baixuan.

After hearing Song Yuanhao's story, Song Qingyu frowned slightly and said with an unpleasant look:

“Hundreds of people didn’t even come back. This is a bit too weird. I’m afraid those evil cultivators are causing trouble again.

This guy has been committing crimes one after another in recent years, but I didn't expect that he would be so bold this time and dare to attack the law enforcement team of the market.

It seems they can no longer hold back!"

Before Song Qingyu returned from the East China Sea, demonic cultivators often appeared near the "White Lion Market". They not only caused trouble around the market, but also massacred several small Qi-cultivating families in the area.

It was only because Song Qingyu and others were in the East China Sea to protect Song Qingming at that time, the Song family and other cultivators of the "Xiaoyao Sect" went to investigate, but they could never find any trace of the demon cultivators, and they were unable to wipe out this group of demon cultivators.

It was not until Song Qingyu returned that he tracked down the demon cultivators during an operation and killed two demon cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage.

She thought she had eradicated the evil cultivators completely, but unexpectedly, these evil cultivators were not as simple as she thought. After just a few months, they started to cause trouble again.

After understanding the specific situation, Song Qingyu and Fang Baixuan did not delay too much and got up together and rushed to the nearby "Caotou Mountain".

Both of them were Jindan cultivators, so it didn't take them too much time to travel the distance of hundreds of miles. It took them less than half an hour to reach the outside of a foggy mountain.

Looking at the "Caotou Mountain" shrouded in clouds and mist, Fang Baixuan couldn't help but look a little solemn and said:

"Senior Sister Song, this place looks a little weird. It's definitely not caused by monsters. Your guess is right. It's most likely caused by a demon cultivator."

After Fang Baixuan finished speaking, he shook the sleeves of his hands lightly and summoned out a "golden-eyed black tiger" with a completely black body.

The aura emanating from this "Golden-eyed Black Tiger" has reached the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage. It is obviously a second-level demon beast that is not far from forming a pill.

"go with!"

Following Fang Baixuan's order, the "Golden-Eyed Black Tiger" opened its mouth and blew out a gust of wind, directly dispersing the fog in front of the two people, and then quickly ran straight forward.

Seeing this, Fang Baixuan immediately took out a magic flying sword and followed.

At this time, Song Qingyu had also summoned out his own natal flying sword, the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword", and it was guarding around him.

After learning that Song Xuanting and others were all missing, Song Qingyu guessed in his heart that this demon cultivator might be a little bit complicated.

For safety reasons, she chose to send a message to the sect's law enforcement hall and called Fang Baixuan, the sect's fourth-level Jindan elder, over, and the two of them rushed over to investigate together.

After following the "Golden-Eyed Black Tiger" for a while, Song Qingyu and Fang Baixuan suddenly found a masked figure in black appearing at the mountain pass ahead, and they hurriedly stopped.

Seeing that the black-clothed masked man in front of him had a high level of cultivation and seemed to be a Jindan cultivator, Song Qingyu quickly spoke:

"My fellow Taoist, may I ask who you are?"

Hearing Song Qingyu's cautious question, the "masked man in black" did not answer proactively, but suddenly turned into a black light and fled away into the distance.

"Humph! Where are you escaping to?"

Seeing that the "masked man in black" in front of him wanted to escape directly, Fang Baixuan immediately flashed behind him and released the flying sword to intercept him.

But what Fang Baixuan didn't expect was that the "masked man in black" in front of him was not at all panicked when facing the attack of the flying sword and directly threw a black jade bottle magic weapon to the back.

A thick black mist quickly came out of the "black jade bottle", wrapping Fang Baixuan in it in an instant.

However, before the "masked man in black" could be happy for a moment, seven sword lights in the air from the other side had already arrived in front of him and turned directly into a sword net that trapped him in mid-air.

However, facing the sword net magic displayed by Song Qingyu, the "masked man in black" remained calm, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

The next moment, the "masked man in black" who was in Song Qingyu's sword net quickly cast a spell with both hands, and turned into a black smoke and drilled out from the gap between the sword light.

Seeing the other party's magical power was so strange, Song Qingyu immediately confirmed the identity of the "masked man in black". After taking a look at Fang Baixuan who was still trapped in the black fog, he asked again with a serious face:
"Sure enough, I guessed right. The one who is so sneaky is most likely a shameful demon cultivator like you.

But I still don't understand, since you saw us coming, why did you dare to stay so boldly, could it be that you came for the two of us?"

Hearing what Song Qingyu said, a burst of chuckles immediately came out from the black mist that the "masked man in black" turned into.

"Haha! I thought you were the only one here, but I didn't expect there would be someone else here to join in the fun.

But since you are here, just stay here and be quiet!"

"You are so arrogant, you think you can take us down by yourself? Aren't you too arrogant?"

"It's certainly not easy for me to take you down by myself, but I'm not the only one here today!"

After the "masked man in black" uttered a word, two black figures suddenly appeared in the black fog in the air. The cultivation level emanating from their bodies was the same as Song Qingyu's, and they had reached the late Jindan stage.

"Blood corpse puppet, could it be!"

Seeing the two black shadows of the late Jindan stage suddenly appearing in front of him, Song Qingyu immediately remembered Ma Wuchen, whom he and Song Qingming had killed together. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

Could it be that the person in front of him is also a disciple of the "Blood Demon Ancestor" like Ma Wuchen?

"Haha! It looks like you recognize my blood corpse. If you are willing to surrender, it will save me a lot of trouble.

Maybe, I will give you a quick death and won’t let you die in too much pain.”

In the eyes of the "masked man in black", Song Qingyu's surprise was seen as fear of his own strength, and he immediately threatened him.

However, the next moment, the expression on Song Qingyu's face quickly returned to normal.

At this time, Fang Baixuan, who was not far away, had also escaped from the black fog. He was surprised when he saw the two "blood corpse puppets" in the late Jindan stage not far away.

"Junior Brother Fang, this guy is not easy to deal with, notify the sect immediately!"

After Song Qingyu finished speaking, a flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, and he immediately controlled the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" and rushed straight towards the "masked man in black", trying to buy time for Fang Baixuan to escape.

"hehe!"

Seeing this, the "masked man in black" had anticipated this and immediately cast a spell to control one of the "blood corpse puppets" to entangle it.

He took another "blood corpse puppet" and went straight to Song Qingyu, and the two sides immediately fought on the battlefield.

After fighting with the opponent, Fang Baixuan took advantage of the gap in his opponent's attack and directly threw out a red talisman.

However, this talisman used for communication had just been thrown out not long ago when a black shadow immediately chased after the location of the red talisman from another direction not far from "Caotou Mountain".

Not long after, the black shadow caught up with the communication talisman dozens of miles away and took it in his hand.

"Humph, if you still want to pass on the message at this time, I'm afraid it's too late!"

Just as the black shadow was sneering, he suddenly felt something strange. His face changed immediately and he took out a white wooden sign from his body.

Seeing a red light slowly moving southeast of the white wooden sign, the black shadow couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Haha. I didn't expect to be so lucky today. I've waited for so long, and I finally caught you this time!"

The black shadow smiled and muttered to himself, then immediately cast a spell, took out a sound transmission talisman, and sent a sound transmission to a place not far away.

A moment later, the "masked man in black" who was fighting with Song Qingyu and Fang Baixuan on the battlefield also showed a look of joy on his face after receiving the message.

"Haha! You're here at last."
