Qinghe Immortal Clan.

"Floating Cloud Mountain Range", in the Chiyun Mountain Market.

On the street, two Qi Condensation cultivators wearing Song family uniforms were carefully carrying a huge wooden barrel more than three feet high. They walked around the crowd and came to the back door of a store on the street.

Just as he put down the wooden barrel in his hand, a shopkeeper who was in the late stage of Qi training nearby hurriedly directed several waiters who had been waiting here for a long time to go forward and open the lid of the wooden barrel.

I saw that the wooden barrel was filled with clear water, and there were dozens of green spirit fish more than half a foot long swimming slowly in the water.

Seeing that except for five or six fish that had their bellies turned upside down, most of the green spirit fish were still alive and kicking, the shopkeeper, who had been nervous, suddenly relaxed.

"Quickly pick out those that are in poor condition, and send the rest to the pool at the back.

Let me tell you, these Cuiyun carp were transported from Qinghe River with great difficulty and time to be presented to the ancestors on the mountain.

Life is precious!
If you fail to take good care of them, the ancestors and elders will blame you, and you won’t have a good life. You might even be exiled to guard Yuping Mountain.”

When the men who were working heard the name "Yuping Mountain", their hearts trembled, and they recalled the news they had just heard half a month ago.

The "Yuping Mountain" mentioned by the shopkeeper is a second-level top-grade sacred mountain located in the northeast of "Chiyun Mountain" where they are.

Ever since the human cultivators conquered the fourth-level spiritual vein "Chiyun Mountain" six years ago, the low-level spiritual veins around Chiyun Mountain have gradually begun to be occupied by human cultivators in recent years.

This "Yuping Mountain" is not far from here. Because a large red gold mine was discovered on the mountain, "Chiyun Mountain" sent monks and mortals to mine the spiritual mine.

Just because it is located at the frontier position bordering the demon clan, there are often attacks by demon beasts around "Yuping Mountain".

Half a month ago, a Jindan Demon King suddenly appeared in the east of "Yuping Mountain" and attacked, catching the garrisoned monks off guard. Even the mountain protection formation was broken by the monster.

After receiving the message, "Chiyun Mountain" immediately sent monks to provide support and drove away the invading army of monsters.

However, the monks stationed at "Yuping Mountain" suffered heavy losses and most of them were killed or injured.

It can be seen that this place is extremely dangerous for these low-level monks, which is why these guys couldn't help but reveal a bit of fear on their faces, fearing that they would be exiled to "Yuping Mountain" by their families.

While these guys were processing the spirit fish, a woman in yellow clothes in the shop kitchen picked up a plate of "Cuiyun Carp" she had just made, put it to her mouth and took a sip, then a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

"I haven't done it myself for a while, but luckily I'm not too rusty!"

The woman in yellow smiled and muttered to herself, then put the "Cuiyun Carp" in her hand into the red food box beside her, and then walked out with the box.

Not long after, Huang Siyuan came to a teahouse not far from Fangshi Street with a lunch box and walked in with a smile.

The waiter who was greeting customers in the store saw Huang Siyuan walking in and immediately turned around and asked with a smile:
"Master has just finished his work and is resting in the backyard. How about I make you a pot first?"

"No need. I made an appointment with Master Li last time. Today I came here to learn how to make tea from him. Just go and do your thing!"

"Well! Well, sir, I won't greet you then."

Seeing Huang Siyuan walking towards the booth where she usually sat with great familiarity, the waiter nodded thoughtfully, then quickly turned around to greet other customers.

About a quarter of an hour later, an old man in a white robe with a kind face came in from the backyard with a can of tea in his hand.

"Master, that guest is here again, and he wants to learn how to make tea from you!"

Seeing the waiter pointing at Huang Siyuan in the private room, the old man in white robe nodded with some surprise on his face, then put down the tea in his hand and walked quickly into the compartment.

"Master Li, I'm so sorry to bother you again!"

"Haha! Sir, you are joking. I can't stand this."

Seeing Huang Siyuan standing up and bowing to him, the old man in white robe waved his hand and continued to ask:
"Last time I said I would teach you how to make tea, and I thought you didn't care about it. I didn't expect you to come to my house in person for this matter today.

The shop is simple, but there are only two of us, my master and I, and we don't have any high-quality spiritual tea to show off. I'm afraid our tea-making skills may not be as good as those of some other places.

Sir, you have already made up your mind to stay and learn from me. You didn't come here just because I was so shameless last time and you were afraid that I would lose face, did you? "

Hearing what the other party said, Huang Siyuan smiled slightly and waved her hand quickly:
"Master Li, as for the art of making spiritual tea, I have also studied it in addition to my cultivation, and I know a thing or two.

Although I dare not say how good my tea-making skills are, I still find it hard to look up to ordinary people in the market.

However, after visiting your shop and tasting tea several times, I found that your method and technique of brewing tea are indeed different from what I have seen before, and the taste is also different from what I brew myself.

Siyuan came here today with sincerity, just to ask you for advice, not on a whim. "

After saying that, Huang Siyuan stood up with a serious look on her face, and then bowed solemnly to the old man in yellow robe.

"Haha! I said last time that I have some affinity with you in the tea ceremony.

Since you are here sincerely, I will naturally not refuse you.

But I have to tell you first, if you want to learn this skill from me, you can't give up halfway. You must brew a cup of spiritual tea that satisfies me before you can leave me.

You can do these, right? "

When the old man in white robe finished speaking, he suddenly put away the charitable smile on his face and became very serious. Huang Siyuan did not hesitate and bowed to him again.

"Master, I will remember what you said!"

After standing up, Huang Siyuan took out the red food box she had prepared from the chair beside her and placed it on the table.

“I heard that you like to taste spiritual food. This is the Cuiyun carp and a few side dishes I brought from Xianfeng Tower today. It is my gift to you as a disciple for learning how to make tea.

I hope Master won’t despise me!”

"Haha! You are really thoughtful. I dare not reject such a delicious food."

The old man in yellow robe, who had a serious expression just now, immediately regained his previous smile when he saw the spiritual meals brought out by Huang Siyuan, and walked forward and sat down generously.

At this moment, the young man outside saw the scene in the cubicle and a look of envy appeared on his face.
-
"Northern Frontier" Tianyao Valley.

In a gray valley, Song Qingming, hiding under a huge rock, was staring at two rays of light that were getting closer and closer in the sky not far away, and his face showed a little nervousness.

Fortunately, the other party did not notice the valley below. The light of escape flashed directly across the sky and soon disappeared from Song Qingming's sight.

It was not until this moment that Song Qingming let out a breath and stood up from under the boulder.

Looking at the many moving stars in the sky, Song Qingming cast a spell with one hand and released a colorful feather, looked at it, and then put it away with some disappointment.

After entering the space of corpses, Song Qingming landed directly in this valley.

Because of Huo Feng's special instructions beforehand, he did not act on his own and hid here after entering.

The space left by the true spirit skeleton is completely different from the forbidden space that Song Qingming has entered before.

There was only night and no day inside, but the countless stars moving in the sky were particularly bright, adding countless dim lights to the entire space.

The place where Song Qingming was located was relatively safe, as no one else was there except him.

Apart from the need to avoid other demon monks who occasionally fly from high in the sky, there are no powerful mechanisms or restrictions in the valley.

Therefore, from the time Song Qingming came in until now, he has been hiding very smoothly by relying on the magic circle on his body and has not encountered any danger.

The only thing that worried him was the situation on Fire Phoenix's side.

For some reason, several days have passed since Song Qingming sent her the message, but Huo Feng still has not come to join her.

At this moment, Song Qingming, who was standing there doing nothing and could only look at the stars in the distance, couldn't help but feel a little worried about her.

Just as Song Qingming was waiting patiently there, he suddenly felt something strange coming from his body and hurriedly took out the colorful feathers he had just hidden.

This time, seeing that there was finally a reaction from above, Song Qingming's face suddenly showed a bit of joy.

"Finally here!"

After confirming that it was the Fire Phoenix's response, Song Qingming hurriedly cast a spell to activate the "five-colored feathers" in his hand, sent the other party a message of his location, and then turned around and came to the highest point above the valley.

Just as Song Qingming was patiently waiting for the Fire Phoenix to come and join him, two beams of light suddenly flew over from the horizon and headed straight for the high altitude in the valley.

Song Qingming, who saw this scene from afar, suddenly became nervous.

With no time to move or hide, he quickly cast a spell and threw out a few flags, setting up a simple concealing magic circle beside himself, his eyes fixed on the two dazzling rays of light in the sky.

This time, Huo Feng only brought Song Qingming in. It was obvious that the two beams of light did not come from her. It should be other demon cultivators passing by here.

Now that Song Qingming's magic power has been sealed, his cultivation level has been reduced to the seventh level of the Golden Core. If he really runs into a Yuanying master from the demon clan, he may not be able to hold on until the Fire Phoenix arrives.

Just when Song Qingming looked a little nervous, the two beams of light had already quickly passed over his head.

The next moment, what he didn't expect was that the other party's speed suddenly slowed down and soon stopped not far in front of the valley.

"Has he been discovered?"

Seeing that the two men suddenly stopped nearby, Song Qingming thought that they had discovered his location.

His hands were already ready to cast the spell, and just as he was about to take action, he didn't expect that a beam of light suddenly flew over from a distance and quickly merged with the two men.

The three of them stood there and greeted each other, then soon flew away together and disappeared from Song Qingming's sight, allowing him to put down his tension again.

The light in this restriction is relatively dim, which is indeed more conducive to the monks hiding. Otherwise, if the other three found him, Song Qingming was really afraid that he would not be able to deal with it. Standing there and waiting patiently for a while, Song Qingming suddenly found a ray of light flying in the sky, and the "five-colored feather" in his hand also moved again.

It shouldn't be wrong this time.

Not long after, a red light flew over and stopped above the valley, and then a woman in red fell from the sky. It was the Fire Phoenix who came to meet Song Qingming.

However, when Song Qingming came up to him with a happy look on his face, when he saw his Fire Phoenix, his face turned pale and he fell to the ground.

"Hide now!"

"What. What's wrong with you?"

Seeing that there was obviously something wrong with Huo Feng's face, Song Qingming hurried forward to help her up, only to find that Huo Feng's breath was very weak. She only said one sentence before fainting.

Song Qingming, who was originally very happy to see the Fire Phoenix coming to join him, was very surprised when he saw this scene. He hurriedly took her to the bottom of the valley, to a magic circle where he had been hiding before.

Just after Song Qingming and the Fire Phoenix had just hidden in the magic circle, another ray of light flew over from a distance and landed not far in front of the valley, transforming into a white-haired man in armor.

This white-haired man, whose cultivation had already reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, glanced around and a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

The next moment, the white-haired man's hand flashed with spiritual light, and he took out a piece of golden animal skin from his body. Then he cast a spell and shot out a ray of spiritual light at the animal skin.

What he didn't expect was that after he had been casting spells for a while, the animal skin in front of him did not show any other reaction except being covered with a layer of spiritual light, which made him frown slightly.

"You still have enough energy to seal my ban. It seems I underestimated you!"

The white-haired man standing there muttered something to himself, then turned into a ray of light and left the place again.

Just as the white-haired man left, Song Qingming, who was in the magic formation at the bottom of the valley, staring at the direction where the other party disappeared, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he sealed the restriction in the Fire Phoenix's body in time, otherwise, the two of them would have been discovered by the other party by now.

Just as he turned his head to look beside him, he didn't expect that the Fire Phoenix lying on the ground had already opened his eyes and was staring at him closely.

There was clearly a strange look in Fire Phoenix's eyes.

Song Qingming then remembered that his right hand was still on her shoulder when he was helping her cast a spell, so he quickly prepared to withdraw his magic power.

"do not move!"

Seeing Song Qingming looking at him with an embarrassed expression, Huo Feng quickly explained to him:

"They haven't gone far yet. If I open the seal in my body now, I think he will find this place soon."

Hearing this, Song Qingming nodded slightly and continued to input the magic power in his hand into the body of the Fire Phoenix.

Through previous investigation, Song Qingming discovered that Fire Phoenix had some injuries on its body.

But the reason why she fainted was not because of the injuries on her body, but because there was an extremely powerful restriction in the Fire Phoenix's body, which directly paralyzed her Nascent Soul and caused her to become so weak.

Fortunately, although most of Song Qingming's magic power was sealed, with the help of the sealing talisman he carried with him, he was still able to cast a spell to help the Fire Phoenix temporarily suppress the restriction.

Although it would take a while for her to recover, they finally managed to temporarily get rid of the other party's pursuit, allowing both of them to be safe.

Fortunately, in the following period of time, although many people passed by this place, none of them noticed the white-haired man who was tracking the Fire Phoenix.

The two of them hid in the valley, looking at each other quietly, and slowly cast a spell to break the restrictions in the Fire Phoenix's body.

It was not until about two days later that, with the help of Song Qingming, Huo Feng finally removed all the restrictions in his body and gradually recovered from his injuries.

"Your Highness, who is that person, and why is he chasing you here?"

Song Qingming had been very anxious because he was anxious to help Huo Feng remove the seal in her body. Now that he saw that she had finally recovered, he remembered to ask about the white-haired man's origins.

"You humans and the like will attack each other, so we demons are naturally not united.

This person is a cultivator from the Ancient Crane clan. Although they and my Tianfeng clan belong to the same feather clan, the relationship between the two clans has never been very good.

He is chasing me here, naturally because he wants to eliminate his potential rival in this restricted space."

"A cultivator from the Ancient Crane clan, so that's what he is."

The "Ancient Crane Clan" mentioned by the Fire Phoenix, like the "Tianfeng Clan", is one of the ten major demon clans in the Northern Frontier, and its strength is not much lower than that of the Tianfeng Clan.

The two demon tribes will also fight each other for territory and interests, and the intensity of the fights will be no less than the infighting among human sects.

When the Fire Phoenix was teleported in, it was originally preparing to meet up with Song Qingming.

However, because he accidentally bumped into the master of the "Ancient Crane Clan" on the way, he was defeated in a fight and was chased all the way, delaying the time to reunite with Song Qingming.

Compared to the relief on Song Qingming's face, she, who had finally escaped danger, did not show too much joy of surviving the disaster. Instead, her face looked very calm.

After trying to cast the spell again and feeling that there were no restrictions left in his body, Huo Feng turned to Song Qingming and said:

"The restrictions in my body have been almost cleared. He shouldn't be able to track me. We can set off now."

After saying that, Fire Phoenix took the initiative to walk out of its hiding place below.

Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately put away the magic circle beside him, followed the fire phoenix, turned into a light and left the valley where he had been hiding for a long time.

Because it was the first time for Song Qingming to come to this restricted space and he didn't have a map, he had been inside for so many days but still didn't know how big it was.

It was not until he followed the Fire Phoenix out of the valley that Song Qingming gradually discovered that the restricted space left by the remains of the demon spirit was much larger than he had imagined.

Among the secret realms that Song Qingming has visited, except for the "Tower of Babel" left behind by the powerful monk who has ascended to the upper realm, there is no other secret space that can compare with it.

The two of them flew in there for two or three hours, and they didn't even encounter a demon cultivator.

It was not until they passed a high mountain that Song Qingming saw the sound of fierce fighting not far ahead.

When they got closer, they found that they were two groups of demon monks fighting for an unknown treasure that looked like a bone.

The strength of the two groups of cultivators seems to be not much different. On one side, there are two black pythons among the cultivators, which seem to be the "Teng Snake Clan" among the ten major demon clans in the "Northern Frontier".

On the other side were a few green-backed demon wolves, which were also from the “Cang Wolf Clan” among the ten great demon clans.

Seeing Huo Feng and Song Qingming passing by the battlefield from a distance, both sides immediately stopped fighting and turned their attention to them.

However, Fire Phoenix, upon seeing the magical bone weapon they were fighting for, didn't seem to care. She was only concerned with hurrying on her way and escaping away from the vicinity of the battlefield.

Only after the two men had gone far away did a new round of fierce fighting begin on the battlefield behind them.

After following the Fire Phoenix for several days, the two finally came to a high mountain shrouded in black fog and stopped.

Just standing in the distance, before approaching the high mountain in front, Song Qingming already felt a powerful pressure, which made him frown slightly.

"Is what you are looking for right here?"

Hearing Song Qingming's question, Huo Feng nodded and said:

"This is where the remains of that senior are buried. What I'm looking for is inside.

I came here once a hundred years ago, and found a place of inheritance left by the predecessor.

But my cultivation was not strong enough at that time, so I couldn’t break the restriction and get the treasure inside.

With your help this time, we should have a good chance of getting the treasure.

But I want to remind you that I am not the only one who knows this place, so you should be careful when you go in and try to avoid those people before you act. "

"Well! Don't worry, I know what to do!"

Hearing Huo Feng's reminder, Song Qingming's face also showed a serious look.

Although this forbidden space suppressed the cultivation of the demon cultivators, the strength of the Nascent Soul masters who came here should not be underestimated.

It was not easy for the two of them to get here smoothly this time.

Next, if he could help Huo Feng get the treasure and escape smoothly, Song Qingming naturally would not want to provoke other people.

After Huo Feng finished speaking, he cast a spell to activate a protective shield. Then, with Song Qingming beside him, he flashed and turned into a ray of spiritual light and disappeared directly into the black fog in front of him.

As soon as the two entered the black fog, they saw a ball of white light suddenly appear in front of them. It turned into a white monster head with wings, and swallowed the two people in one gulp.

Facing the attacking white head, Fire Phoenix shot out two red rays of light from its eyes, which instantly pierced through the huge head in front of it and shattered it.

Seeing that the white light monster in front of him seemed to be vulnerable, Song Qingming just breathed a sigh of relief, but he saw that the white light that had just dissipated in the black fog quickly gathered again.

Moreover, in the darkness all around them, several similar white light monsters suddenly appeared and attacked the two of them.

"here we go again!"

Just when Song Qingming was about to help, Huo Feng on the side reached out to stop him.

"These are the spirits of monsters. You can't kill them." (End of this chapter)
