Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 925 Returning to the Sect, Forming a Baby (asking for monthly tickets)
(There is a lucky draw this month, and I hope all book friends can actively participate. Xiao Meng would like to thank you in advance!)
It took Song Qingming and others more than a month to return from Lu State on the sect's large flying boat, but the news of the "Bai Meng Mountain" battle had already spread to neighboring countries through various sound transmission notes.

Li Mufeng and others who were in Wei State had naturally already received the letters sent back by Song Qingming and others on the road.

After the people in front of him stood up, Li Mufeng, who came to greet them, turned sad and continued to speak to the distance:

“The Lingyin Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, but no one would have thought that it would be wiped out in one day. Most sects in the cultivation world that have experienced ups and downs cannot escape this day.

I have known Situ Laogui for nearly a thousand years, and it is a pity that I have lost another chess friend in my life."

Li Mufeng and Situ Yan of the "Lingyin Sect" had been good friends for many years. When they talked about the other's death, they naturally felt a little more sad.

Many monks present fell silent upon hearing this.

After a while, Li Mufeng adjusted his emotions, turned around and said to Song Qingming with a smile:

“This time, I also heard that Junior Brother fought against many opponents on Baimeng Mountain alone. He not only shocked the Yuxiao Sect and others, but also saved some disciples of the Lingyin Sect.

This time Junior Brother Song was able to take action to stop Chen Yunxiao and others from killing them all, which brought a lot of prestige to our Xiaoyao Sect. As his senior brother, I naturally have to go out to welcome him.

It's a pity that Junior Sister Bai hasn't come out of retreat yet, otherwise if she knew about this, she would definitely come in person to welcome Junior Brother Song and everyone else."

In the previous battle of "Bai Meng Mountain", Song Qingming alone stopped many sects including "Yuxiao Sect" and killed Situ Jing and others.

In fact, he did not talk much about this matter with anyone else, nor did he mention it much in the letter to Li Mufeng.

Just after returning this time, he heard Li Mufeng directly talk about this matter. Not only was Song Qingming a little surprised, but even Huang Siyuan and others beside him showed some surprise on their faces.

However, as Li Mufeng is a Nascent Soul cultivator and has been in charge of the "Xiaoyao Sect" for so many years, it is not surprising that he can obtain some special information.

Song Qingming didn't think much about it, and immediately bowed and responded with a humble look:

"That day, I just couldn't stand what they did, so I tried my best to help them. How dare I accept such praise from you, Senior Brother!"

"Alas! I have heard about this matter. Junior brother, you are too modest.

I have been supporting the sect for so many years, and I am almost there. But with you and Junior Sister Bai, the sect will be able to flourish sooner or later."

"Uncle Li, Uncle Song and the other brothers have worked hard to travel to Lu State. I have arranged for Junior Brother Zheng and the others to prepare a banquet to welcome them in Xiaoyao Palace.

How about asking Uncle Master and all the fellow disciples to take their seats first, and then we can talk slowly?"

“Yeah! Zi Yan is right, it seems that I have lived too long, and some people have too many old words.

Junior Brother Song, let's go to Xiaoyao Palace first and talk slowly!"

"Just follow my brother's instructions..."

Hearing Xu Ziyan's reminder beside him, Li Mufeng suddenly realized and nodded, then took Song Qingming and others to the "Xiaoyao Palace".

After being busy for several months, everyone was naturally very happy to finally have a chance to sit down and have a drink and chat.

Even Li Mufeng, the Nascent Soul ancestor, was not too affected by the death of his good friend. He frequently took the initiative to toast his junior brother Song Qingming during the banquet.

Both of them have been supporting the sect alone for many years. Compared with Situ Yan who died when the sect was destroyed, Li Mufeng successively trained two Nascent Soul cultivators, Bai Yuxian and Song Qingming, for Xiaoyao Sect.

Not only did it allow the "Xiaoyao Sect" to safely pass through the most critical moment, but it also gradually restored the sect's former glory.

At this moment, looking at Song Qingming in front of him and the many monks from various sects in the hall, he felt very pleased.

On the contrary, Song Qingming, who had experienced the tragic situation in the "Lingyin Sect", couldn't help but feel a little more emotional when facing the welcoming banquet specially arranged by the sect after returning.

In the world of cultivating immortals, no sect or family power can last forever.

Even a large Nascent Soul sect like the Lingyin Sect, which had been passed down for thousands of years, was destroyed in just one night.

I don’t know what the Song family’s “Xiaoyao Sect” will be like after it declines in the future.

When the sect is destroyed, will the descendants be lucky enough to meet someone who can stand up for them and preserve the last trace of bloodline?

Except for the high-level monks in the sect such as them in the "Xiaoyao Palace", the entire "Guyang Mountain" was unusually lively all day long today.

It was not until the early morning of the next day that Song Qingming bid farewell to Li Mufeng and others, and prepared to return to "Chiyun Mountain" with Huang Siyuan.

Before leaving, Song Qingming took Huang Siyuan to "Muyun Peak" to pay tribute to his many former friends in the sect, as well as his third brother Song Qingze and Song Xinyu.

In addition to Huang Siyuan, there were also several descendants of the Song family, including Song Linxi, who were part of the sect.

More than ten years ago, during the "Monster Rebellion", Song Linxi's cultivation had already reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

There was a turmoil at that time, and in order to prevent her from following in the footsteps of her master Song Xinyu, Song Qingyu decided to transfer her to "White Lion Ridge" to help garrison.

Fortunately, Song Linxi was luckier than Song Xinyu this time. Although he experienced several battles, he did not encounter too much danger.

Not long after the war, with the support of several people from the Song family, Song Linxi quickly gathered enough merits to exchange for a Jindan spiritual object and went into seclusion.

Unfortunately, as expected, Song Linxi was unable to pass this stage easily during his first retreat to form the elixir.

Fortunately, Song Linxi was not seriously injured after failing to form a golden core. After several years of seclusion and recuperation, she has now fully recovered and is following Song Qingming.

As for the Song family branch of "Guyang Mountain", with the care of two generations of cultivators, Song Xinyu and Song Linxi, the number of cultivators in the sect has now increased to more than 30 people.

A few years ago, a cultivator of the "Xuan" generation successfully established his foundation. Song Yuanfang and others came to "Guyang Mountain" on behalf of the family to congratulate him.

After walking down from "Muyun Peak", looking at Song Linxi with a calm expression, Song Qingming took out another bag of spirit stones from his pocket and handed it to her.

"You seem to have almost recovered from your injuries. Take these spirit stones for now. They are a token of my appreciation to you and your family."

Faced with the bag of spirit stones that Song Qingming took out, Song Linxi looked a little excited, but he did not take the bag in front of him. Instead, he waved his hand directly at Song Qingming.

“Grandfather, Linxi has already suffered a lot of grievances from the family when he formed the Dan last time, how can he still have the nerve to ask you and the family for help!

I still have a lot of life left in me, so I still have great hope of accumulating spiritual objects to form a pill. Please take back these spiritual stones, ancestor!"

Compared to Song Xinyu, who was unfortunately injured on the battlefield and spent many years recuperating from his injuries.

After embarking on the path of cultivation, Song Linxi's journey will undoubtedly be much smoother with the support of his master and his ancestors.

Even if she fails to form a pill now, Song Linxi still has enough lifespan. If nothing unexpected happens, it will not be difficult for her to accumulate enough spiritual objects for forming a second pill.

Seeing Song Linxi, who had a similar personality to Song Qingyu, Song Qingming smiled and shook his head slightly, saying:
"After Xinyu left, you were basically the one taking care of Guyang Mountain. I know all these things very well.

No matter what, you are all family blood. Now that the family is better than before, you naturally cannot be stingy in taking care of it.

The reason why I give you these spirit stones is to reward you for your contributions in Guyang Mountain over the years.

They will still need your care in the future.

If even you suffer in life, others will laugh at them in the future, and it will be embarrassing for the family."

"Well! What my husband said is right.

Although there are not many of you now, you are the face of the family in the sect, so don't refuse this little bit of spirit stones.

The sooner you can enter into seclusion, the sooner you can achieve success in forming the elixir. These will have an impact on your personal path in the future, so you can’t be careless about this.”

After hearing the persuasion from Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, Song Linxi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and took the spirit stone.

Even though he has a somewhat stubborn personality, Song Linxi clearly knows what is important when it comes to making critical choices for his long-term career.

After bidding farewell to the tribesmen on Guyang Mountain, Song Qingming and his companions returned directly to Chiyun Mountain.

Just like Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan did at the beginning, in order to save some mana on the road, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan also chose to go to "Chiyanfang" to take the teleportation array.

However, when the two of them just arrived at the "White Lion Square", they didn't expect that they had just walked out of the "teleportation array" and accidentally bumped into Song Yuanfang and Song Linyu, who were walking towards them with somewhat ugly expressions.

"Ancestors, Yuan Fang greets the two ancestors!"

Seeing Song Qingming and the other man suddenly appear in front of him, Song Yuanfang was also shocked. He hurriedly took Lin Yu beside him and stepped forward to salute the two of them.

"Why are you here all of a sudden when you're not recuperating in your tribe? But has something happened in White Lion Ridge?"

As the eldest elder of the family, Song Yuanfang has basically been staying in the family's "Funiu Mountain" since he took charge of the family affairs and rarely goes out in person.

A few years ago, Song Yuanfang, who had already cultivated to the ninth level of foundation building, finally exchanged his family's spiritual objects for the golden elixir realm to reach the golden elixir realm.

The result was the same as that of Song Linxi who was far away in the sect. Song Yuanfang's first retreat to reach the Golden Core realm also ended in failure.

Moreover, compared with others, Song Yuan had only been in seclusion for less than two years, but he failed at the stage of condensing the pill, and his failure was more complete.

Hearing Song Qingming's question in the market at this moment, Song Yuanfang was slightly stunned, and immediately smiled and responded to the two people in front of him:
"Don't worry, Uncle Seventh, nothing happened at White Lion Ridge, and my injuries are basically healed.

There is nothing to do in Baishifang this time. It’s mainly because Yueqing missed Linyu and asked me to take her back to live with him for a while. "

"It was you who insisted on dragging me back home and not letting me go out, and you even insisted that grandma missed me."

As soon as Song Yuanfang finished speaking, Song Linyu, who was standing next to him, immediately started muttering something, which immediately attracted the attention of Song Qingming and the others.

"The ancestor is here, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Hearing some complaints from Song Linyu, Song Yuanfang hurriedly spoke sternly to the other party, then turned his gaze to Song Qingming in front of him with some embarrassment.

Hearing this, Song Qingming also understood some of the reasons and couldn't help but sighed slightly:
"The elders planted the trees and the younger generations enjoyed the shade. We should worry about the affairs of the younger generation, but we should not worry too much. Yuan Fang, people of our generation who practice cultivation should still focus more on our own practice. You should not let this ruin your own path."

"Seventh Uncle is right. Yuan Fang understands!"

Seeing Song Yuanfang in front of him nodding slightly with a serious face, Song Qingming didn't say anything more. He left "White Lion Square" with Huang Siyuan who was smiling beside him.

"Come back with me quickly!
I asked you to come here to guard the market, but you haven't been seen for three days or two. Don't think I don't know where you've been."

"Humph! It's not like I wasn't in the market, why am I nowhere to be seen?

Just now, the ancestor told you not to meddle in other people’s business, and he said it was clear, but I don’t know what you understood, Grandpa?”

"Do I need you to explain to me what the ancestor said..."

After the two ancestors left, seeing his grandfather glaring at him again, Song Linyu glared back immediately without showing any weakness.

After the grandfather and grandson argued for a few words in this bustling market, they quickly left the place at Song Yuanfang's urging.
-
After leaving "White Lion Square", head north.

Soon, Song Qingming and the other person standing on the "Phantom Boat" saw the "Chiyun Mountain" gradually becoming clear in front of them, but they couldn't help but reveal a look of confusion.

"Strange, who suddenly activated the formation on the top of the mountain?"

As the flying boat got closer and closer to the sky above the "Chiyun Mountain" mountain protection formation, Song Qingming also saw that there was suddenly a thick white fog above the top of the mountain.

This magic array was a high-level concealing magic array that Song Qingming had specially arranged at the top of the mountain when he had just moved to "Chiyun Mountain".

Its main purpose is to cover up the strange phenomena in the surrounding heaven and earth when he or Huang Siyuan and others are in seclusion to break through their cultivation.

To prevent anyone from discovering anything unusual on the top of the mountain and attracting the attention of those interested or high-level demon cultivators.

This is also a kind of restriction that many high-level cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation will set up in their own caves.

However, usually, only he and Huang Siyuan lived on the top of "Chiyun Mountain", and the other people living at the foot of the mountain had no idea about the magic circle on top.

Now seeing the magic circle on the top of the mountain suddenly activated, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan both looked a little puzzled as to who was on the top of the mountain.

Just as the two of them approached the top of the mountain with strange looks on their faces, a green light suddenly flashed out from the formation and blocked Song Qingming and the other two.

"Qing Yu!"

Seeing Song Qingyu suddenly appear in front of them, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan's originally nervous expressions immediately relaxed, and they walked forward to greet him with joy.

"Seventh brother, sister-in-law!

I just thought someone was coming, but it turned out to be you guys who came back. You almost scared me."

"Why did I scare you for no reason?
But you, you didn't even say hello in advance when you came back, and we were really scared by you.

By the way, where is Senior Sister Li? Why did you suddenly activate the mountaintop formation?"

Facing the questions thrown by Song Qingming, Song Qingyu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, quickly answered with a calm expression:

"Senior Sister Li and I just came back a few days ago and found out that you went to Lu State. We haven't had time to send you a message yet.

I've encountered several troubles in the past few days, and I was almost busy. If Brother Seven doesn't come back, I will really send a letter to ask you for help.

As for what happened on the mountain, I couldn’t explain it clearly at the moment.

Forget it, let's stop guessing here, follow me in, and you should know what happened. "

After saying that, Song Qingyu took Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan into the "Mountain Protection Array" together, and the three of them soon arrived at the top of the mountain together.

Just as they approached Song Qingming's cave, another figure immediately appeared in the air. It was Li Xuanyi, the senior sister who had been traveling with Song Qingyu for a long time.

"Junior Brother Song, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you doing well?"

"Senior sister, how are you!"

Seeing Li Xuanyi, whose cultivation had become much more solid, Song Qingming, who had been worried about him for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects to him.

After the few people met and greeted each other, Song Qingming noticed that a lot of rolling white clouds had gathered in the sky above the top of "Chiyun Mountain".

“This is a vision of heaven and earth!”

"Who is breaking through?"

Seeing this scene, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were both slightly stunned, and couldn't help but reveal a bit of shock.

However, it only took a moment for Song Qingming to immediately realize that the core location that caused the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth came from the cave where he was. A look of surprise flashed across his face again.

"Could it be this!"

Almost three years have passed since Song Qingming returned to the Floating Cloud Mountains from the "Northern Frontier".

During this period, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" fell into a deep sleep after devouring and refining the "True Spirit Essence Blood", and its aura gradually calmed down.

But what is strange is that even though several years have passed, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" has not woken up as Huo Feng said, and is still sleeping.

This also made Song Qingming, who didn't know much about the art of taming beasts, helpless and he could only lock it up in his own cave.

Seeing the "strange phenomenon of heaven and earth" on the top of the mountain at this moment, Song Qingming, who had the experience of breaking through the Nascent Soul once, felt it instantly.

This level of movement should be a "phenomenon of heaven and earth" that can only be caused by a cultivator breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

At this time, on the "Chiyun Mountain", apart from the few people in front of them, the only one who had the ability to directly impact the Nascent Soul realm was the "Ice and Fire Dragon" that was still sleeping.

“Husband, could it be that the Ice and Fire Dragon is breaking through the realm?

How is it possible that the Ice and Fire Dragon is about to reach the Nascent Soul stage so soon? "

When Huang Siyuan, who was standing beside him, heard what Song Qingming said, an expression of disbelief also appeared on her face.

When Song Qingming came back from the "Northern Frontier" before, he also mentioned to Huang Siyuan about the fact that after the "Ice and Fire Dragon" devoured the spiritual creature, its cultivation level suddenly increased and it fell into a deep sleep.

However, Song Qingming did not say much at that time, and Huang Siyuan always thought that "Ice and Fire Dragon" had obtained a great opportunity.

I never expected that it could reach the Nascent Soul stage so quickly.

Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi, who were standing by, had just returned two days ago when they happened to encounter the "Ice and Fire Dragon" causing strange phenomena in the sky and earth on the top of the mountain.

However, the two of them had just returned, and they didn’t know who had achieved a breakthrough in seclusion in Song Qingming’s cave. They could only hurriedly activate the magic circle he had set up on the top of the mountain to cover up the strange phenomena in the sky and earth above.

After hearing Song Qingming's explanation of the matter, Song Qingyu and the other person, who learned that it was the "Ice and Fire Dragon" that was reaching the Nascent Soul stage, were also filled with shock.

"This, Seventh Brother! If it is really the Ice and Fire Dragon that is forming a fetus, should we quickly notify Master Li and the others to come and help?
The area around Chiyun Mountain is so dangerous. If the Ice and Fire Dragon were to undergo a tribulation and the other nearby demon kings noticed it, we alone would not be able to protect it."

“The bodies of demon beasts are strong, and they can often directly devour and refine high-level spiritual objects that contain powerful spiritual energy.

When I was in Donghuang Country, I had heard of some cases like the Ice and Fire Dragon, where someone's cultivation level rapidly improved after accidentally eating some high-level spiritual creatures. It wasn't something too strange.

However, it is not easy for a demon cultivator to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Right now, it has only just caused a strange phenomenon in the heaven and earth, and it is hard to say whether it can cause a thunder tribulation!"

Among the people present, Li Xuanyi is not the one with the highest cultivation.

But he was born in a Nascent Soul family of the "Donghuang Kingdom", and later became a disciple of the "Taixu Sect", a Divine Transformation Sect. His knowledge and experience were far higher than those of Song Qingming and the other two present.

After confirming that it was the spirit beast on Song Qingming's body, Li Xuanyi's somewhat surprised expression quickly calmed down, and he began to explain to everyone.

Hearing this, Song Qingming also smiled and nodded, saying: "Looking at the situation, it is indeed striving for the Nascent Soul Realm!

But what Senior Sister Li said is right. It is not so easy to break through the Nascent Soul Realm. It is still too early for it to trigger a thunder tribulation.

It is better not to alarm Senior Brother Li and the others for now, and wait and see what happens next!"

This time, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" suddenly began to impact the Nascent Soul realm, which was indeed beyond Song Qingming's expectations.

However, as Li Xuanyi said, it is no easier for demon cultivators to form a Nascent Soul than for human cultivators. Even if there are demon kings who are trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, it is very rare for someone like Song Qingming to succeed in one go.

What's more, the formation of the infant by the "Ice and Fire Dragon" was very sudden, and there was not much preparation before.

In this situation, even if Song Qingming was unwilling to say it clearly, he knew in his heart that the probability of a successful breakthrough would not be very high.

But no matter what the final result is, since the "Ice and Fire Dragon" can reach this step, it means that it is not far from the Nascent Soul realm.

After thinking for a moment, Song Qingming took the initiative to step forward and check the magic circle set up nearby, then turned around and looked at Li Xuanyi and the others beside him again.

"With this magic array as a cover, it shouldn't be visible from the bottom of the mountain for the time being!
It's been many years since we last met, and I'm afraid you have a lot to say to me. It's not convenient to go into my cave now, so why don't we go sit with Siyuan first!"

"Right on my mind!"

Hearing Song Qingming's initiative request, Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu immediately nodded in response.

Then the four of them left the place together and walked towards Huang Siyuan's cave not far away.
