Qinghe Immortal Clan.

The figure in green standing in front of Song Qingming and the other two was none other than senior sister Li Xuanyi, who had traveled alone to the "Lei Yuan Sea" world of immortal cultivation more than ten years ago.

Li Xuanyi actually returned to the "Floating Cloud Mountains" cultivation world a few months ago.

At that time, the situation in Wei State was still very calm and had not been invaded by the "Monster Rebellion".

Therefore, after Li Xuanyi heard that Song Qingming was on the front line of Zheng State resisting the demon army, he went directly to "Tianxing Valley" to meet up with Song Qingming, Huang Siyuan and others.

Later, after learning that the "Jinyu Mountain" demon tribe was moving south in full force, Li Xuanyi followed Song Qingming and others back to Wei State.

It was precisely because of the help of senior sister Li Xuanyi, a ninth-level Jindan master, that Song Qingyu and his companions were able to successfully block the demon army led by the "Giant Elephant Demon King" in the "White Lion Square" and leave to go to the "Guiyun Square" to help.

Seeing Song Qingming bowing with gratitude, Li Xuanyi quickly stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Junior Brother Song is already a Nascent Soul cultivator, but he still keeps bowing to me, a Golden Core cultivator. This really makes me feel a little uneasy.

If Junior Brother really wants to thank me for my help, he might as well take some time to help me look at the exercises.

Now that the northern monster riots have ended, Junior Brother Song should have nothing to worry about. If I speak up now, you won't be able to find an excuse to shirk my responsibility, right? "

"Haha! Senior Sister Li has a request, and as her junior brother, I will do my best to help.

But I just came back today, so please don't worry, Senior Sister. Please follow me to Huixian Pavilion to prepare a banquet so that we can welcome you first."

"Yes! What Brother Seven said is true. Senior Sister Li came all the way back from Lei Yuanhai to help, so we should also celebrate for her first.

We can talk about other things later!"

"Then my husband, you take Senior Sister to Huixian Pavilion first. I will go and inform Yuan Fang and the others to prepare a banquet!"

Seeing that Huang Siyuan had already taken the initiative to walk down the mountain without waiting for his consent, Li Xuanyi smiled slightly and could only nod softly in response:
"Well! Since you have invited me so kindly, I will not be polite with you."

Seeing this, Song Qingming hurriedly extended his hand and took the initiative to take Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu to the "Huixian Pavilion" on the top of the mountain.

At night, the four of them sat around the table drinking tea and wine.

Song Qingyu, who had long been very curious about the outside world of immortal cultivation, began to pester his senior sister Li Xuanyi with questions after drinking a few glasses of spiritual wine.

When Senior Sister Li Xuanyi left, Song Qingyu, who was on good terms with her, originally wanted to follow her to travel to the "Lei Yuan Sea" immortal cultivation world.

However, because the "Monster Rebellion" was approaching, although Song Qingyu was tempted, he was still worried about his family, so he could not travel with Li Xuanyi.

Seeing that Song Qingyu was extremely curious, Li Xuanyi did not hide anything from him. He smiled and briefly told everyone about his travels over the past ten years.

After Li Xuanyi arrived at the "Leiyuanhai" world of immortal cultivation, he traveled to many places and saw many landscapes.

He also explored several secret realms with others in the "Lei Yuan Hai" world of immortal cultivation, and obtained many spiritual objects and opportunities.

Although the process was somewhat dangerous, Li Xuanyi also gained a lot from it.

Hearing him talk about his ten years of experience in "Lei Yuan Hai", Song Qingyu's face was sometimes full of curiosity and sometimes nervousness.

Not until Li Xuanyi finished telling the story did a more relaxed laughter rang out in Huixian Pavilion.

At dawn the next day, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan saw that Li Xuanyi still wanted to discuss the martial arts with Song Qingming, so they each found a reason to leave first.

The two girls were aware of the special relationship between Song Qingming and Li Xuanyi, and knew that due to the sect rules, they could not easily pass on their own cultivation techniques to others.

Whenever encountering similar situations over the years, Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu would choose to avoid them actively.

Seeing that only himself and Song Qingming were left in the hall on the third floor of "Huixian Pavilion", Li Xuanyi immediately used his magic power and took out a very ordinary and simple jade plate.

The jade plaque is green all over and appears to be quite old, with a few worn spots on it.

When Song Qingming saw that what Li Xuanyi took out was not the "Taixu Sword Technique" that she practiced, but a emerald green jade plate that he had never seen before, a trace of doubt suddenly appeared on his face.

"Senior Sister Li, this thing looks like it's quite old, but did you bring it back from Lei Yuan Sea?"

Hearing Song Qingming's question full of doubt, Li Xuanyi nodded slightly and immediately explained:

"Junior Brother Song, I accidentally found this item in a secret place in Lei Yuanhai. I don't know where it came from, but I only found a special technique related to puppet refining in it.

But after studying it for a long time in the past few years, I found that this technique was somewhat incomplete and could not be used normally.

Today, I would like to ask Junior Brother to help me see if there is any way to repair and complete this set of exercises."

"Oh! This is a special technique for refining puppets. This is quite rare. Let me take a look first."

Because of practicing the "Ten Thousand Spirits Puppet Array", Song Qingming has been doing some research on the art of puppets over the years. With the guidance of "Qu Bai", he has also become a "puppet master" himself.

However, due to the lack of materials to refine high-level puppets, Song Qingming's puppetry skills are currently still at the upper level of the second level, and he has not successfully refined a third-level "puppet beast".

Upon hearing that the "Green Jade Plate" brought by Senior Sister Li Xuanyi actually contained a special method for refining puppets, Song Qingming immediately became interested and put the jade plate on his forehead.

As Song Qingming's spiritual sense probed into it, a green light suddenly emanated from the "Green Jade Plate".

At the same time, Song Qingming's spiritual consciousness immediately came to a special space full of white light.

As far as the eye can see, everything around is covered in white, except for a stone tablet in the middle, which is engraved with many very ancient runes.

After just one glance, Song Qingming immediately recognized that these runes were very similar to the ancient runes he had seen in the past, and indeed had some extraordinary origins.

Seeing this, Song Qingming's spiritual sense immediately covered the stone tablet. He saw runes on the stone tablet immediately moving, and then flew quickly in front of Song Qingming's eyes, combining into a huge golden pattern.

About a quarter of an hour later, Song Qingming opened his eyes and put down the "Green Jade Plate" in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuanyi immediately asked with anticipation:

"How about it, Junior Brother Song, do you have a way to repair this technique?"

Hearing this, Song Qingming sighed and said, "This technique is indeed the same as what Senior Sister said, it is a technique for refining special puppets.

However, after a careful look, I found that the refining method inside was not for an ordinary low-level puppet. It might be a puppet beast at the Nascent Soul level.

At present, my own puppetry skills are not very advanced, so I am afraid that I am somewhat powerless to repair this set of skills. If Senior Sister is in a hurry, I guess we need to find another master who practices puppetry skills to help us."

“It is possible to refine a puppet beast at the Nascent Soul level!

Before, I thought it was just a Jindan puppet technique, but I didn’t expect it to be a Yuanying level technique.

So, this item is really valuable, and it is worth my effort to bring it out."

In the world of cultivating immortals, skills and techniques above level four are priceless. Even if they are a little incomplete, they cannot be compared with ordinary level three skills.

Upon hearing that what was hidden inside was actually a technique for refining a "Nascent Soul Puppet Beast", Li Xuanyi was surprised, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

After standing there and thinking for a while, Li Xuanyi turned to Song Qingming and asked:
"Junior Brother Song, apart from you, I don't know any experts in puppetry here, I wonder if you know anyone who can help repair this thing.

As long as the skills inside can be restored, I will definitely not be stingy with the reward. "

“Yes! I do know one or two cultivators who practice high-level puppetry techniques. They are people I am quite familiar with.

If you are at ease, please leave the jade token with me. When I find a suitable opportunity, I will take the time to ask them to help take a look."

"That's great. I'll leave it to Junior Brother Song!"

Seeing that Song Qingming was exactly as he expected and that he knew a master who practiced puppetry, Li Xuanyi's face suddenly lit up and he quickly nodded and agreed.

After Song Qingming put away the "Green Jade Plate" in his hand, Li Xuanyi took out the "Taixu Sword Technique" he had practiced and consulted Song Qingming about the parts of the technique he didn't understand.

After traveling in the immortal cultivation world of "Lei Yuan Hai" for ten years, Li Xuanyi not only returned safely, but her own cultivation also did not fall behind, and it was much more solid than when she left.

Now Li Xuanyi's cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Golden Core. Having reached this stage, the next step is naturally to prepare for the formation of his infant.

In Song Qingming's opinion, as long as she practiced hard for another seven or eight years, she should be ready to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Faced with Li Xuanyi's humble questions, Song Qingming naturally answered every question and took the initiative to pass on his own experience in forming a baby to his senior sister Li Xuanyi.

The two chatted for a whole day in the "Huixian Pavilion" this time. It was not until Li Xuanyi had resolved all her doubts about the martial arts that she smiled and bowed and left.

After bidding farewell to his senior sister Li Xuanyi, Song Qingming left the "Huixian Pavilion" and did not return to his cave. Instead, he turned around and faced the bright moonlight in the sky, turning into a ray of spiritual light and quietly passed through the "Funiu Mountain" mountain protection formation.

Heading eastward, Song Qingming's figure soon appeared at the back mountain of "Yinfeng Ridge".

This time, Song Qingming did not alarm the Song family monks who were guarding the mineral vein on the mountain. He quietly came to the edge of the canyon and jumped down.

At this time, in a "spiritual medicine garden" located below the valley, Song Yushan was sitting on a blue stone with his eyes closed in meditation.

Then he saw a breeze blowing, and Song Yushan heard a slight sound coming from the front, he immediately opened his eyes and looked around him.

Seeing Song Qingming suddenly appear not far in front of him, Song Yushan was surprised and quickly took the initiative to step forward and salute.

"Meet the clan leader!"

"It's been less than two years, and you've already broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining. It seems like you've made a lot of progress in recent days."

When Song Yushan fell into the valley, his cultivation had just broken through the fifth level of Qi Refining.

When he met him this time and saw that he had actually broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, Song Qingming was slightly surprised and couldn't help but praise him.

Hearing the verbal praise from Song Qingming, the ancestor of the family, Song Yushan was excited for a moment, and immediately bowed and responded:
"Patriarch, please be wise. Yu Shan is unworthy of this honor! The reason I was able to cultivate so fast in the past two years is actually because I was fortunate enough to receive guidance from Senior Qu. It is not entirely due to my own cultivation."

"Well! It's an opportunity for you anyway, so it's okay to praise you.

However, spiritual practice is like rowing against the current; if you don’t move forward, you will move backward.

The opportunities given to you by others are not your own foundation after all. Do not slack off in your own cultivation, otherwise you will not be able to achieve great things in the future!"

"Yu Shan will remember the clan leader's teachings!"

After bowing, Song Yushan just raised his head and found that Song Qingming's figure in front of him had disappeared. He couldn't help but smile knowingly and let out a breath.

Although Song Yushan is a cultivator with three spiritual roots, his spiritual root talent is not actually very outstanding in the Song family, which is now full of talented cultivators.

After practicing for more than ten years, Song Yushan's cultivation level had only just advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

With his cultivation speed, if he continues to practice normally, without any accidents, it will not be a problem for him to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining before he is sixty years old.

But it is not so easy for him to go further and build his foundation.

Even in a great immortal cultivation family like the Song family, without sufficiently high talent, there are many ordinary cultivators with three spiritual roots like Song Yushan who will spend their entire lives in the Qi Refining Stage.

Back then, he fell to the bottom and was forced to exchange his 100 years of freedom for Qu Bai saving his life.

Song Yushan once thought that he would have to sit in a dark valley for the rest of his life, and that his fate had doomed him to a hopeless path.

What he didn't expect was that during the two years he stayed in the valley, his cultivation speed improved by leaps and bounds because he received repeated guidance from the mysterious senior "Qu Bai".

Even Song Yushan himself found it hard to believe that he had successfully broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining in just two years.

Even among the cultivation geniuses in the Song family, there are probably not many people who can successfully advance to the late stage of Qi training at his age.

Hearing the praise from the clan leader Song Qingming with his own ears, Song Yushan's heart could not calm down for a long time.

"Could I become something great in the future?"
-
In a cave deep in the canyon, a figure in black was holding a "green jade plate" in his hand and examining it carefully.

Song Qingming, who was not far away, saw this scene. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but stood aside and waited without saying anything.

It was not until half an hour later that "Qu Bai" withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Song Qingming, and said directly:

"You just said that you want to repair the skills inside?"

Hearing the other party's question, Song Qingming nodded quickly.

“Yes, I was entrusted by someone, but because I am not sure about myself, I came here to ask for advice from you.

If you can help me, just let me know the reward, I will do my best to satisfy you."

“This technique is used to refine puppets at the Nascent Soul stage. I’m afraid it won’t be of much use to you now. After all, the materials needed to refine puppets of this level are not something you can easily find.

But if you really need it, I can help you!

As for the reward, you don’t need anything else, just give me this jade token.”

The reason why Song Qingming agreed to his senior sister Li Xuanyi was because he knew "Qu Bai", a master who was proficient in puppetry.

Seeing that "Qu Bai" could really help, a hint of joy instantly appeared on Song Qingming's face.

But when he heard that the reward the other party wanted was the "Jade Green Plate" that he had been eyeing for a long time, Song Qingming, who had originally been happy, suddenly changed his expression and fell silent.

"Why, what's the problem?"

Seeing that Song Qingming's face looked wrong, "Qu Bai" turned his eyes slightly and asked again.

Upon hearing this, Song Qingming immediately bowed and apologized:
“Senior, you may not know that this thing is not mine, and I really cannot agree to this matter directly.

I hope you can forgive me and change my request."

"Haha! I just thought this thing was a bit novel so I wanted to keep it to study it. Do you really think it's something extraordinary?

That's fine, since you can't make the decision, then change your request."

Seeing that Song Qingming looked a little embarrassed, "Qu Bai" did not force it. After he finished speaking, a light flashed in his hand, and he sent out a sound transmission directly into Song Qingming's ears.

“Compared to repairing that puppet technique, I have a better idea for you.

Didn’t you ask me last time how to repair that Nascent Soul puppet? Recently I thought of a way that might work.

However, in order to completely repair it, I am still missing a few things, the most important of which is the soul of a Nascent Soul monster.

Not long ago, I heard that you killed a demon king in the north. I think you should be able to find this thing. As long as you bring it to me, you will have fulfilled my request.

As for the rest of the things, they shouldn't be difficult for you to find. Just bring them over to me when you're ready.

After this Nascent Soul puppet is repaired, it can be given to you for use first.

But if I need it in the future, you must give it to me immediately. I think you should agree to this."

When Song Qingming first met "Qu Bai" in "Luoxiayuan", Song Qingming and others fought a fierce battle with him and destroyed many human-shaped puppets in the hands of the opponent.

Later, after Song Qingming returned to the "Floating Cloud Mountains" world of immortal cultivation, he exchanged the collected damaged puppet materials with "Qu Bai" and asked him if he could repair these puppets.

When faced with Song Qingming's request, "Qu Bai" simply shook his head, indicating that he was powerless.

After asking carefully, Song Qingming realized that these human-shaped puppets were not made by "Qu Bai" himself, and he actually learned his "puppet skills" from a master.

These "human-shaped puppets" refined by this master are not only extremely difficult to refine, but the materials used are also extremely hard to find.

After hearing this, Song Qingming gave up the idea of ​​repairing those "human-shaped puppets". He didn't expect that after so many years, "Qu Bai" actually mentioned this matter again.

When Song Qingming heard "Qu Bai" mention that the main material for repairing the puppet was actually the soul of a Nascent Soul Demon King, a complicated look suddenly appeared on his face.

It seemed that the other party had already calculated it, and even knew clearly that he had joined forces with others to kill the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor". That's why he directly made this request that was difficult for him to refuse.

Helping "Qu Bai" repair the Nascent Soul puppet was not a bad thing for Song Qingming.

Not only can he get temporary help from a "Nascent Soul Puppet", but when "Qu Bai" repairs the puppet, maybe he can also learn on the side and improve his "puppet skills".

Even if it requires some materials to repair this "Nascent Soul Puppet", Song Qingming is willing to do it.

After checking the other spiritual objects that "Qu Bai" needed, seeing that he knew most of them and they were not difficult to get, Song Qingming nodded slightly and agreed immediately.

Just as Song Qingming turned around and prepared to leave, "Qu Bai" spoke to him seriously:

"Boy, if I'm not mistaken, this jade token in your hand should have some origin.

No matter whether this thing belongs to you or someone else, remember that it is best not to show it in front of others.

Otherwise I'm afraid you'll bring yourself some trouble for no reason.

If that happens, I will die in vain and fail to fulfill the promise we made."

"This, Senior, you are saying that this thing can bring me death, isn't that a bit too alarmist!"

After his cultivation broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, Song Qingming had already stood at the top of the immortal cultivation world in the "Floating Cloud Mountains".

Although his cultivation level is not top-notch among Nascent Soul cultivators, the only person who can threaten his life now is a cultivator at least in the late Nascent Soul stage.

There are only a handful of people who can have such a level of cultivation in the entire "Floating Cloud Mountains" and the surrounding areas of the immortal cultivation world, even among the demon clan and the devil cultivators.

Hearing Qu Bai's reminder, Song Qingming couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He always felt that what he said was a bit too much.

Seeing Song Qingming looking at him with doubtful eyes, "Qu Bai" still looked very serious and answered him:

"I've already said it. Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, I'm just reminding you."

"Thank you very much, senior."
-
After leaving "Yinfeng Ridge", Song Qingming returned to the cave and took out the "Green Jade Plate" from his body and looked at it carefully.

But apart from a set of puppetry skills hidden inside the jade token, on the surface, there is really nothing strange about this "emerald jade token".

After studying it for several days, Song Qingming still had no clue. He could only carefully put it back into the storage magic weapon and turned to the stone chamber where he practiced daily.

After experiencing a fierce Nascent Soul battle, Song Qingming also gained a lot of insights into his own cultivation techniques.

After instructing Song Yuanfang and others on the task of searching for spiritual objects for "Qu Bai", Song Qingming began to practice in seclusion.

It was not until several months later, when all the things he wanted were prepared, that he took the initiative to walk out of the cave where he had practiced, and brought the spirit of the "Red Cloud Demon King" that he had received from the last kill, and delivered all these spiritual objects to "Qu Bai".

In the following period of time, Song Qingming took the initiative to stay in "Yinfeng Ridge" to help "Qu Bai" repair the damaged "Nascent Soul Puppet".

In this way, with the joint efforts of the two, it took nearly a year for Song Qingming to walk out of the "Yinfengling" canyon.

At this time, Song Qingming, who was standing in the air, had a figure covered in a black robe beside him.

The aura emanating from his body was clearly at the Nascent Soul level. It was the Nascent Soul Puppet that he and Qu Bai had repaired together. (End of this chapter)
