Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 863: Xinyu passed away, Baiyuxian visited (Happy New Year!)

Looking at the two demon cultivators' souls that he had just captured, Song Qingming felt relieved, but also showed a hint of fear.

He had just returned to Qinghe County when these two evil cultivators came to him immediately. It was definitely not a coincidence.

Moreover, from their tone, Song Qingming could easily tell that they must have been waiting for him here for a long time.

If I hadn't just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage this time, I would have run into them when I was at the ninth level of the Golden Core stage.

Facing an opponent who possesses a fourth-level magic treasure and two "blood corpse puppets" in the late Jindan stage, it is really hard to say who will win the battle.

Because he had revealed his face in front of the "Blood Demon Ancestor" back then, Song Qingming was mentally prepared for the people from the "Blood Spirit Sect" to come to him.

However, what he didn't expect was that the people from the "Blood Spirit Sect" could actually guess that he had the "Tian Tong Order" on him. This was indeed a bit of a surprise to Song Qingming.

Fortunately, Song Qingming has now formed a Nascent Soul and is capable of protecting the spiritual object on his body. Otherwise, once the news spreads, it will bring considerable trouble to him and the entire Song family.

"I finally came back this time, but I didn't expect that even after I got home, I still couldn't have a moment of peace!"

After Song Qingming dealt with the opponent's body, two beams of light flew over from a distance. They were Huang Siyuan and Li Xuanyi who had been watching the battle for a long time.

In the battle just now, Huang Siyuan was trapped in the black fog for a long time by the spell cast by the "masked man in black".

However, because Song Qingming appeared later, the other two people's attention was focused on him, and they did not pay much attention to Huang Siyuan standing next to them.

After Huang Siyuan escaped from the trap, she saw that Song Qingming had already chased out, so she followed him along with her senior sister Li Xuanyi who had also rushed over.

However, when the two of them arrived at the battlefield, Song Qingming's battle with the two "Blood Spirit Sect" demon cultivators had just ended.

"Husband, those two demons didn't escape, did they?"

"Don't worry, only two Jindan disciples under the Blood Demon Ancestor have come. They have already been dealt with."

Hearing Huang Siyuan's concerned question, Song Qingming nodded slightly, showed the talisman that sealed the demon cultivator's soul in his hand to the two girls, and directly put it into the storage magic weapon.

"You are talking about the Blood Demon Ancestor of the Blood Spirit Sect! When did you offend this big devil, Junior Brother Song?"

Although Li Xuanyi was not a cultivator from the "Floating Cloud Mountains" immortal cultivation world, she had traveled here for many years and naturally had heard of the "Blood Demon Ancestor", the famous giant arm of the devil.

Upon hearing that the two demon cultivators were actually disciples of the Blood Spirit Sect where the "Blood Demon Ancestor" was, a trace of worry immediately appeared on Li Xuanyi's face.

"Well, this is a long story."

Seeing senior sister Li Xuanyi looking at him with some confusion and worry, Song Qingming immediately showed a helpless bitter smile on his face.

Then he briefly told him how he and Song Qingyu killed Ma Wuchen, and how they were later targeted by the "Blood Demon Ancestor".

However, Song Qingming did not tell anyone about the "Tiantian Order" on him.

This secret concerns his future path and is extremely important to Song Qingming. The less people know about it, the more at ease he will feel.

“Junior Brother Song, although you have now formed a Nascent Soul, I’m afraid that you cannot handle a master of the magic path like the Blood Demon Ancestor alone.

If you encounter this demon in the future, you must be careful and don't show off your strength! "

After learning about the feud between Song Qingming and his sister and the "Blood Spirit Sect", Li Xuanyi didn't think much about it, but he was still a little worried about Song Qingming's safety, so he spoke a few words to comfort him.

Hearing this, Song Qingming nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister Li, I know what's going on with this matter.

Although good and evil cannot coexist, no matter how high or low our cultivation level is, we all have the responsibility to eliminate evil and defend the way of justice.

But if I really encounter danger, I am not the kind of person who would force myself to do anything.

Besides, with me included, there are already three Nascent Soul cultivators in Weiguo. I think that the Blood Demon Ancestor is still alive today because he knows when to advance and when to retreat. He will not easily come to Weiguo to take risks."

"Yes! My husband is right. Since the feud has already been formed, we can't escape it.

As of now, the only solution is to fight back when the enemy comes, and as long as we can join forces with the sect, even if the Blood Demon Ancestor comes in person, he will not be able to gain any advantage from us."

".."

Just as Song Qingming and the other two were standing there talking, a "teleportation array" guarded by cultivators in the middle of the "Chiyanfang" not far away suddenly lit up with a bright light.

After a while, Song Qingyu and Fang Baixuan walked out.

Because the demon cultivators had damaged the "Mountain Protection Formation" before, the cultivators in the market town were still in a chaotic situation.

After some inquiries, Song Qingyu and the other two learned about the great battle of golden elixir outside. They were shocked and immediately flew out of the market.

As soon as the two arrived at the door, they saw three somewhat familiar figures falling from the sky.

After seeing who was coming, Song Qingyu's face suddenly lit up with joy and he quickly ran up to him.

"Seventh brother, sister-in-law, it's you who are back!"

"Senior Brother Song, Senior Sister Huang!"

Seeing that the people coming from the front were Song Qingming and his wife who had not appeared for many years, Fang Baixuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

But the next moment, when Fang Baixuan felt that there was something different about Song Qingming's aura at close range, a look of doubt suddenly appeared on his face.

In the world of immortal cultivation, it is very difficult for normal cultivators of the same level to completely conceal their own cultivation level, unless they have cultivated some special magical powers.

Although Song Qingming’s cultivation was much higher than his before, Fang Baixuan could still vaguely see the other party’s approximate cultivation level.

But at this moment, after not seeing each other for many years, when Fang Baixuan's spiritual sense swept over Song Qingming, he could not feel the other party's cultivation level at all, as if the person in front of him was just an ordinary Qi-refining cultivator.

Previously, the sect’s Nascent Soul Grand Elder Bai Yuxian went to the “East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World” to help Song Qingming form a Nascent Soul and protect him.

Although Fang Baixuan, as an elder of the sect, did not know the specific details, he had heard some rumors.

Now that he had noticed something strange about Song Qingming, Fang Baixuan suddenly remembered this matter, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Could it be that Senior Brother Song has really advanced to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Just when Fang Baixuan showed a bit of surprise on his face, Song Qingming on the side immediately smiled at him and released his own aura without any concealment.

"Junior Brother Fang, I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect to run into you when I just came back today."

Fang Baixuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and it took him a while to react. He bowed to Song Qingming again and said:

"I never thought that after not seeing you for so many years, you have already achieved the Nascent Soul Dao. I was really rude for not checking just now. I hope you won't blame me."

"Brother Fang, please don't be so polite. I just returned to Weiguo. Except for Sister Bai, no one else in the sect knew about this. How can you blame you for being rude?

Senior Sister Bai told me before that my baby formation is still unknown to outsiders, so please don’t tell anyone about it for now.”

Hearing Song Qingming's instructions, Fang Baixuan nodded and responded:

"Uncle Master, rest assured, I won't say anything more!"

Fang Baixuan had just finished speaking when Song Qingyu on the side asked anxiously:

"Seventh Brother! I just heard that a Jindan cultivator came outside to cause trouble. What happened here?"

"Oh! Just now two demon cultivators came to attack the market town. We ran into them by chance and I have already dealt with them all."

"Two Jindan demon cultivators, could they be the two we met before?"

When Song Qingming casually mentioned that there were two Jindan demon cultivators, Song Qingyu and Fang Baixuan were slightly stunned again. After looking at each other, they showed a look of surprise.

Before this, the two of them had just fought a fierce battle with two Jindan demon cultivators on Caotou Mountain outside the "White Lion Square" and almost suffered a great loss.

However, after the demon cultivator fought with the two of them, for some unknown reason, he suddenly withdrew on his own initiative not long after.

Song Qingyu and the other person returned to "Chiyanfang" and were about to go to the sect to ask for help.

Unexpectedly, these two people suddenly arrived at "Chiyanfang" first and died at the hands of Song Qingming.

Upon hearing that Song Qingyu and the other two had also fought with two Jindan demon cultivators, Song Qingming and the other two couldn't help but feel surprised.

After comparing themselves with each other, they realized that they had encountered the same group of people. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They didn't expect that there was such a big hidden danger hidden in the family.

Fortunately, this time Song Qingming happened to break through the Nascent Soul stage and returned, so this trouble was solved so easily.

After a few people exchanged greetings for a while, Fang Baixuan saw that the matters on the Song family's side had been resolved, so he took the initiative to say goodbye to everyone and left.

Since they had found Song Qingyu, Song Qingming and others did not choose to stay in "Chiyanfang" after bidding farewell to Fang Baixuan, but went all the way to the location of "Funiu Mountain" and returned directly to the family.

It has been more than eight years since Song Qingming left home last time, and he is also very concerned about the current situation of his family.

It was not until the flying boat passed through the "mountain protection formation" and arrived above Funiu Mountain that Song Qingming felt a lot more at ease. He couldn't help but take a breath of his family's scent.

After the flying boat passed the top of the mountain and landed, Song Qingming waited until all four people had walked down before he turned around and put away the "Phantom Boat" beside him.

"Senior Sister Li! Your injuries are not healed yet. Why don't you go to a cave in front and recuperate there? We will come to see you later."

"Senior sister is injured. When did this happen?"

Upon hearing that Senior Sister Li Xuanyi was injured, Song Qingyu, who was unaware of the situation, quickly asked with some concern.

Seeing that Song Qingyu seemed to have some misunderstanding, Li Xuanyi hurriedly stepped forward and explained with a smile: "Qingyu, don't worry. I accidentally injured the meridians in my body because I was having trouble breaking through the bottleneck.

They are just minor injuries, nothing serious."

Previously, when Senior Sister Li Xuanyi was in seclusion on the island to break through the realm, although she spent a lot of time, she still had bad luck in the end and failed to successfully advance to the ninth level of the Golden Core.

After learning that Li Xuanyi was injured because of a breakthrough, Song Qingyu gradually put aside his worries and nodded:
“Although it’s only a minor injury, Senior Sister, you should not be careless. Let me accompany you to find a cave to retreat first.

When Brother Qi and I are done with this, we will send you a message to invite you out for tea!"

"Well! I'll wait for your news."

Li Xuanyi nodded slightly, and left the place with Huang Siyuan.

Under the guidance of Song Qingyu, Song Qingming turned and came to the family cemetery not far away.

Since Song Qingming established his foundation, after hundreds of years of rapid development, the Song family now has thousands of cultivators.

This does not include those clansmen who have already joined the sect or who remain outside for other reasons.

The family has been developing for so many years, and new children with spiritual roots are sent to the mountain almost every year.

But there are also many cultivators who are unable to improve their cultivation and slowly grow old until their lifespan is exhausted and they are buried in the family cemetery.

After passing rows of tombstones in front, the two soon came to a brand new stone tablet and stopped together.

Looking at the tombstone in front of him, Song Qingyu stepped forward and gently wiped off a few fallen leaves on it, then turned around and said solemnly to Song Qingming behind him:

"Xinyu left not long after I came back half a year ago!
At the request of his descendants who stayed in the sect, Xinyu's body has been buried in the sect's sacred land. This is a cenotaph that I have set up for him in the family.

I remember you always said that you had wronged him. Now that Xin Yuren has left, I think the family should reserve a place for him on the mountain.

There are several cultivators from his lineage at the foot of the mountain, but no one has established a foundation yet.

Don't worry, I have asked Yuan Fang to tell them to come and sweep his grave every Qingming Festival and the end of the year, and I won't let him suffer any more."

Looking at the brand new tombstone in front of him, with the three big characters "Song Xinyu" engraved on it, Song Qingming nodded slightly, then walked forward and touched his tombstone.

“I personally sent Xinyu to the sect back then. Over the years in the sect, he has always been thinking about the family and has helped us a lot.

This is good too. Whether in the family or in the sect, Xinyu now has descendants.

As long as we are still here, someone will always remember him.”

On the way back to his family, Song Qingming had already learned from Song Qingyu that Song Xinyu, who was in the sect, had died in his own cave half a year ago due to the end of his lifespan.

Song Xinyu is the only cultivator in the Song family's "Xin" generation who has successfully built his foundation, and he is also the last person to pass away in meditation.

After failing to form an elixir several decades ago, Song Xinyu, who was in the sect, completely gave up his own path and devoted himself to teaching the younger generations around him.

However, although he had been building his foundation for two hundred years, he eventually died before his two elders, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, due to the exhaustion of his lifespan.

I remember that the last time I saw Song Xinyu, Song Qingming talked to him a lot about teaching younger generations. I didn't expect that when he came back this time, they would be separated forever.

Thinking back to when he was drinking tea and chatting with Song Xinyu, the scene was still clearly visible in Song Qingming's mind.

It’s just that time goes by and the years leave no trace.

Even though Song Qingming felt extremely regretful, he could not change the fact that people around him passed away one by one.

With the passing of Song Xinyu, all the members of the "Xin" generation in the family have now passed away and remained in the family cemetery.

Compared with the family monks after the "Yuan" generation such as Song Yuanfang and Song Yuanhao, the Song family monks of the "Xin" generation grew up in the most difficult period when the family was just starting out and developing.

Their generation of monks, like the previous generations of monks in the family, paid a huge price for the development of the family. Most of them died in battle outside, and very few of them had a good end.

Therefore, Song Qingming has a deep impression of this generation of cultivators, and naturally has the most feelings in his heart.

After standing in front of Song Xinyu's tombstone for a while, Song Qingming took out a pot of spiritual wine that he had treasured for many years and carefully poured him a glass.

Afterwards, Song Qingming stood up again and went deeper into the family cemetery, where he filled up the glasses of the eldest elder, the old patriarch, the fourth elder, the sixth uncle, the ninth uncle, the thirteenth uncle, the eldest brother, the second sister, the fourth brother, and others whom he was familiar with.

Song Qingming stopped only after he had finished drinking all the wine in his pot. He turned around and looked at the familiar tombstones behind him, his eyes filled with strong memories.

After hundreds of years of development, the family has now become the overlord of the northeast of Wei State.

With Song Qingming's success in forming a baby, the Song family's status may be further improved in the future, and they may even go beyond Wei State and become famous in the entire "Floating Cloud Mountain Range" world of immortal cultivation.

However, in the family cemetery, these ancestors who followed Song Qingming and sacrificed for the family have gradually been forgotten in the memories of the younger generation of the family.

But as long as he and Song Qingyu are still around, someone will always remember them.
-
After Song Qingming returned to "Funiu Mountain", more than half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, facing the rising sun in the sky, a ray of light suddenly came from afar and landed directly outside "Funiu Mountain", turning into a woman in white.

Looking at the Funiu Mountain in front of her which was covered by the "Mountain Protection Formation", the woman in white cast a spell and took out a sound transmission note from her body. Just as she was about to send it into the formation, a voice had already come from in front of her.

"Senior Sister Bai has come a long way, but I haven't been able to greet you. I hope you can atone for your sins!"

After the voice fell, Song Qingming, dressed in green, flew out directly from the "Mountain Protection Array" and landed in front of Bai Yuxian.

"Haha! Junior Brother Song is so polite."

After the two men greeted each other, Song Qingming immediately stretched out his hand and invited Bai Yuxian into the formation. The two of them soon arrived at the family's "Huixian Pavilion" together.

Huang Siyuan, who was making tea, saw Bai Yuxian and Song Qingming coming up together. She hurriedly poured them a cup of spiritual tea and then took the initiative to go downstairs.

When there were only two of them left in the hall, Song Qingming sat down and immediately invited Bai Yuxian to have some tea while asking with a smile:

"Senior Sister Bai hasn't been to my Funiushan Mountain for a long time. I wonder if you came here today to visit me, or if you have something to tell us?"

Seeing Song Qingming come straight to the point, Bai Yuxian smiled slightly and immediately responded:
"Junior Brother Song, you are really very insightful and you guessed the purpose of my visit right away.

Originally, I shouldn’t have come to bother you since you just came back. However, if I didn’t come to remind you of some things, I’m afraid that you might not remember them after a long time and get delayed again.

Junior brother has now formed a Nascent Soul, but has not yet held the Nascent Soul Ceremony. This is not in line with the rules of our Floating Cloud Mountain range of immortal cultivation.

I came here at the request of Senior Brother Li, and I want to ask Junior Brother Song what you think, when do you plan to hold the Nascent Soul Ceremony?"

"Nascent Soul Ceremony!"

Hearing what Bai Yuxian said, Song Qingming smiled slightly and immediately responded softly:

“If Senior Sister Bai hadn’t reminded me, I would have almost forgotten.

I should have gone to discuss this with Master Li, but I am ashamed to have Master Bai come here in person."

"Junior brother, you are wrong. Although you have formed your Nascent Soul, you are still an elder of Xiaoyao Sect. It doesn't matter if I come or you go. We are one family and there is no need to talk about different things."

Song Qingming nodded slightly and said, "Haha! Senior Sister Bai is right.

It’s just that I, your junior brother, have just formed my Nascent Soul, and I don’t have any ideas about the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

Moreover, my Funiu Mountain is too small to accommodate a few people. If I rashly hold the Nascent Soul Ceremony, I am afraid I will lose face.

Otherwise, let's just forget about it and wait for a chance to talk about it later!"

Song Qingming has been practicing for so many years, and his style of doing things has always been relatively low-key. Whether it was when he was building his foundation or forming his elixir, he basically did not hold any grand celebrations.

Moreover, he had just formed his Nascent Soul not long ago, and he had spent a lot of high-level spiritual objects and spiritual stones on him. He really didn't have much financial resources to organize a "Nascent Soul Celebration".

But when Bai Yuxian heard that Song Qingming did not want to hold a celebration, she simply waved her hand and said:
"Alas! Junior Brother Song, you don't know that in our Floating Cloud Mountain Immortal Cultivation World, all the major sects will hold a Nascent Soul Ceremony to announce it to the outside world whenever a cultivator successfully forms a Nascent Soul.

Now that my junior brother has formed his Nascent Soul, if we don’t hold a celebration, it won’t just be your Funiu Mountain that will be laughed at, but our entire sect.

Before I came, Senior Brother Li had already told me that since the celebration would be difficult for Junior Brother Song to handle, we should just go to Guyang Mountain.

Junior brother, rest assured, our sect will arrange all the items needed for the celebration for you, and you will definitely be satisfied.

Junior Brother Song, you just need to set a time, and I will let Zi Yan arrange the rest as soon as possible."

When Song Qingming heard Bai Yuxian say that the sect was going to hold a "Nascent Soul Celebration" for him, he was surprised and waved his hand.
"Senior Sister Bai, I feel really unworthy of having the sect organize the Nascent Soul Celebration for me.

It's better to wait and see if there is any other way."

“Junior Brother Song, don’t worry. Now that you have successfully formed your infant, you are already the sect’s supreme elder. It is only natural for us to hold a celebration for you.

The sect is in turmoil right now, so your Nascent Soul Celebration is also very important to the sect.

We can also take this opportunity to demonstrate the strength of our sect and let the surrounding cultivators and demon forces know that our Xiaoyao Sect now has three Nascent Soul Supreme Elders.

We can discuss other matters slowly, but this matter is indeed urgent, so I hope you will put the sect first and stop making excuses."

"this."

Seeing that Bai Yuxian was speaking from the bottom of her heart, Song Qingming tried to refuse several times, but the other party still refused to accept it. In the end, he could only nod and agree.

Soon, the date for Song Qingming to hold the "Nascent Soul Celebration" was finalized.

(Today is Chinese New Year, Xiao Meng is here, wishing everyone a happy new year, good health, and a happy family reunion!)
