Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Meng Dongyang, who was standing in the crowd, was still obviously frightened after seeing Song Qingming kill Jin Chiliang in an instant.

At this moment, he suddenly saw Song Qingming's eyes turning towards him. His expression suddenly changed and he nodded to him quickly.

"Senior Song is right. Since we have come here specially to congratulate you, we should prepare appropriate gifts to show our sincerity!
This is a gift that Meng prepared in advance. I hope that Fellow Daoist Luo can accept my kindness and please don’t despise it! "

Meng Dongyang thought quickly in his mind, and seeing Song Qingming staring at him, he hurriedly took out an exquisite wooden box from his body.

Before he could offer the wooden box, he suddenly felt a magical power covering the wooden box.

The next moment, the wooden box in Meng Dongyang's hand flew directly in front of Song Qingming and opened to reveal a third-grade intermediate spiritual medicine of high grade.

Meng Dongyang had purchased this spiritual medicine at an auction not long ago, spending tens of thousands of spiritual stones on it.

Originally, he wanted to find a high-level alchemist to help him use this spiritual herb to refine a magic pill to help him break through the bottleneck of his cultivation.

Facing Song Qingming's meaningful eyes, even though he was reluctant, Meng Dongyang still reluctantly gave the elixir to him as a gift.

No matter how good the spiritual object in your hand is, it is still something outside of your body!

Compared with his own life, Meng Dongyang naturally knew how to make a choice, but he couldn't help but feel a little pain on his face.

"Well! Fellow Daoist Meng is indeed sincere this time. If that's the case, don't let his kindness go unappreciated. Just accept this gift first!"

After saying that, Song Qingming lightly tapped his hand, and the wooden box in front of him immediately flew in front of Luo Li not far away.

Luo Li, who had just seen the spiritual medicine inside, waved his hand at Song Qingming and said:

"I have received a lot of spiritual objects today. I dare not accept such a valuable gift. Please take it back first, Senior!"

Seeing this, Song Qingming did not accept it but just shook his head.

"Haha! This is a gift from Fellow Daoist Meng. It's not convenient for me to take it back. If you don't like it, you can return it to Fellow Daoist Meng!"

"I have come to congratulate you today. This gift is a token of my gratitude. Fellow Daoist Luo, please accept it.

If this thing I gave away is returned and the news gets out, it would be a slap in my face.

Fellow Daoist Luo, please don't embarrass me."

Seeing Luo Li turning his gaze towards him, as if he really wanted to return the elixir in his hand, Meng Dongyang's face suddenly became anxious, and he hurriedly spoke to persuade the other party.

At this moment, Meng Dongyang not only showed great magnanimity in his words, but was also extremely anxious in his heart, fearing that Luo Li would not want to accept his gift.

The reason why he said it so righteously was not because Meng Dongyang was really willing to give up the spiritual object in front of him.

However, the look Song Qingming gave him was meaningful and even contained a hint of hostility, which made him really dare not test the other party's thoughts.

Otherwise, if Song Qingming suddenly became unhappy, I'm afraid that the previous Jin Chiliang would be his next fate.

There is absolutely no chance of leaving this place safely today.

Under Meng Dongyang's "sincere" plea, Luo Li finally had no choice but to accept the gift.

Seeing that Song Qingming didn't say much, Meng Dongyang finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he had escaped a disaster.

At Luo Li's call, everyone quickly returned to the main hall of "Tianxuan Sect" again.

Although Jin Chiliang's arrival just now interrupted the celebration, it didn't take long for the incident to pass, and soon the entire "Tianxuan Sect" hall became lively again.

It seemed that no one cared too much about the death of this late Jindan cultivator who served as the deputy leader of the "Iron Sword Alliance" here.

With the presence of Song Qingming, a Nascent Soul cultivator, many cultivators who came to the scene to congratulate him were extremely excited and wanted to come forward to toast him, the Nascent Soul ancestor.

Except for Meng Dongyang and Song Changze and his wife who came on behalf of "Black Cloud Island", many cultivators at the scene were just the foundation-building and Qi-refining forces with better connections in the vicinity and "Tianxuan Sect".

Originally, they came here today just to participate in the celebration and express their allegiance to the "Tianxuan Sect". They never thought that they would see a Nascent Soul ancestor here.

Even though the "Iron Sword Alliance" has dominated the "Tianxing Sea" for many years, they are still just a Jindan force after all.

Compared with Song Qingming, the Nascent Soul cultivator behind the "Tianxuan Sect", that strength can simply be said to be not worth mentioning.

Even a high-ranking official like Deputy Alliance Leader Jin Chiliang, who dared to come to "Baisha Island" to provoke today, could be killed at will in Song Qingming's eyes.

When the many cultivators present thought that the "Tianxuan Sect" had the support of him, a Nascent Soul cultivator, behind him, they became extremely excited and expressed their willingness to formally become their vassals in the future.

From now on, as long as they can hold on to the "Tianxuan Sect", the "Iron Sword Alliance" and other surrounding forces will surely not dare to provoke them easily, and they can rest assured.

Even Meng Dongyang, who was sitting at the banquet, put on a stern face and took the initiative to come to Luo Li and Song Changze and his wife to show his courtesy, wanting to make friends with the three of them.

Meng Dongyang and his "Juling Sect" have been able to survive for many years in a chaotic place like the "Tianxing Sea" entirely by relying on their ability to adapt to the changing circumstances.

At the beginning, when "Qitian Island" was powerful in the nearby waters and formed a coalition of sects to fight against the "Iron Sword Alliance", Meng Dongyang and his team chose to take the initiative to unite with them, and also helped to go to "Black Cloud Island" to invite Song Changze to join the alliance.

Not long ago, seeing that "Qitian Island" was defeated in a battle with "Iron Sword Alliance", Meng Dongyang and his colleagues realized that something was wrong and immediately turned to join the "Iron Sword Alliance".

However, this time, they had just discussed it and had not had time to form an alliance when they suddenly ran into Song Qingming, the Nascent Soul Patriarch, who killed Jin Chiliang who had come to invite them to the alliance.

Meng Dongyang, who already knew that it would be difficult to form an alliance, immediately changed his mind and planned to make friends with "Black Cloud Island" and "Tianxuan Sect" in the future.

After all, behind these two forces, not only is the "Hundred Flowers Palace" involved, but there is also the support of Song Qingming, the Nascent Soul ancestor, who is definitely a good backer.

If the three forces unite in the future, coupled with the reputation of Song Qingming and the "Baihua Palace", no one in the entire "Tianxing Sea" would dare to attack them.

However, facing Meng Dongyang's initiative to show goodwill, Luo Li and Song Changze and his wife were very indifferent to him, which made the other party's warm faces meet with a bit of coldness.

But even so, Meng Dongyang, who has been in the world of immortal cultivation for many years and is much more thick-skinned than ordinary cultivators, still frequently took the initiative to talk to the other party and did not care about their attitude towards him.

In response, Song Qingming, who was sitting next to him, did not say much.

Song Qingming, who also had been in the world of immortal cultivation for many years from the bottom, had seen too many cultivators like Meng Dongyang who fawned on the powerful.

There is essentially no good or bad in the actions of monks like them; they are simply driven by interests.

Luo Li's Dan-forming celebration was not very grand. After only half a day, many cultivators who came to "Baisha Island" quickly returned to their own sects.
Soon the entire "White Sand Island" gradually calmed down.

Above a waterfall on the back mountain of "Tianxuan Sect", Song Qingming was taking Huang Siyuan for a stroll along the mountain path, admiring the beautiful mountain scenery around them.

Several months ago, Song Qingming received the news from Song Changze that Luo Li had achieved Dan.

At that time, Song Qingming was feeling frustrated because he couldn't make any breakthrough in his "puppet skills".

When he heard that Luo Li had achieved Dan, he thought about coming to the East China Sea in person to congratulate her, and also go out for a walk to dispel the boredom in his heart.

Seeing that Song Qingming wanted to visit the East China Sea to cultivate immortals, Huang Siyuan, who learned the news, took the initiative to offer to go with him, and the two of them came to "Baisha Island".

However, compared to other people who came to congratulate, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan had actually arrived on the island a few days in advance.

Luo Li and Song Changze actually had no idea that Song Qingming and his wife had come to the East China Sea, and they had never thought that they had been living in the Mortal Town Inn at the foot of the mountain.

Originally, Song Qingming's main purpose of this trip was to relax, and he didn't want to go to disturb Luo Li and the others during the celebration of "Tianxuan Sect".

It just happened that Jin Chiliang came to cause trouble, so he took the initiative to show up and help Luo Li and the others solve the problem.

After taking their seats, Song Qingming and the other person did not stay for too long. They left the main hall of "Tianxuan Sect" with Huang Siyuan and went to the back mountain for fun.

In recent years, Song Qingming has spent most of his time either in seclusion practicing or busy practicing "immortal cultivation skills", and has never had much time to accompany Huang Siyuan out for fun.

The two of them finally had this opportunity to relax, and they were in a very good mood. They walked and stopped along the way, and almost walked through the entire back mountain of "Tianxuan Sect".

Just as the two arrived at the waterfall on the top of the mountain ahead, several figures suddenly flew over from not far away. They were Luo Li and Song Changze and his wife who had just escaped from the celebration.

"Greetings, senior, ancestor!"

"Didn't I tell you not to ruin our fun? Why did you guys come out so soon?"

Seeing Luo Li and the other two coming forward to salute, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan quickly waved to them and signaled them to stand up.

“Senior, you misunderstood. We didn’t know you would come here in person, so the sect didn’t prepare much. We only invited some friends nearby to come.

The celebration has just ended. I sent the guests away before coming here with Fellow Daoist Song and the others."

"Well! You have just formed the elixir, and you know how to keep a low profile. This is quite rare.

However, the path of spiritual practice is often not smooth.

There are some things that are difficult to avoid even if we want to.

If you are alone and unable to cope with it, you can discuss it with Changze and others if you encounter any difficulties in the future."

Hearing this, Luo Li nodded slightly and said:
"Yes! Senior, I will keep your teachings in mind.

I just discussed with Fellow Daoist Song at the celebration that from now on, the Tianxuan Sect and the Black Cloud Island will form an alliance and advance and retreat together. But Fellow Daoist Meng heard about this and also wanted to join. We would like to ask the seniors if we can agree to the alliance with the Juling Sect. "

"I'm here mainly to congratulate you. I have no intention of interfering in the Tianxing Sea. Just discuss this matter and it'll be fine."

When Luo Li and the other two asked about Meng Dongyang's desire to form an alliance, Song Qingming simply shook his head and threw the question back to them.

When occupying the "Black Cloud Island" at the beginning, Song Qingming had already thought it through.

After the separation, the East China Sea immortal cultivation world will delegate power to Song Changze and others, and try not to interfere in the development of the "Black Cloud Island" branch.

Apart from asking Song Yuanfang and others to occasionally arrange for the transportation of some things needed in the East China Sea, the family has hardly directly intervened in the affairs of "Black Cloud Island" over the years.

This is also what Song Qingming wants to do in order to cultivate their ability to handle things independently.

After all, the family is far away in the "Floating Cloud Mountains" and cannot always take care of Song Qingze and the others in everything.

If something urgent really happens, they will need to be able to deal with it themselves so that this branch of the family can survive and develop peacefully.

Song Qingming naturally agreed with Luo Li and Song Changze's decision to form an alliance.

But he didn't want to interfere too much in this matter. After forming an alliance, how the two families would develop in the future would depend on their own decisions.

After playing on "Baisha Island" for a few days, Song Qingming took some time to gather Luo Li and the other two together.

Having finally come to the "Tianxing Sea", I naturally have to pass on to them some of my experiences in cultivation over the years, and also answer some of their puzzles about cultivation.

The teaching and answering of questions by a Nascent Soul cultivator was of obvious help to a Jindan cultivator like Luo Li who had just formed a Dan. It allowed her to adapt to the Jindan stage practice faster than ordinary cultivators.

At the same time, facing this rare opportunity, Song Changze and Liu Yuxin also asked many questions about their various doubts in their own cultivation.

Song Changze's cultivation has reached the fifth level of the Golden Core. As he is getting closer and closer to the late stage of the Golden Core, he also feels that his own cultivation speed is slowly decreasing.

For a Jindan cultivator, except for those with extraordinary talents like those with natural spiritual roots, it is not an easy thing for ordinary people to advance to the late Jindan stage.

This time, with the personal instruction of Song Qingming, the family's Nascent Soul ancestor, Song Changze's many confusions about cultivation were instantly alleviated.

And Liu Yuxin's spiritual aptitude is no worse than that of her husband Song Changze. In less than twenty years, she has successfully cultivated to the peak of the second level of Golden Core.

With her talent for cultivation and the help and support of Song Changze, her cultivation speed is not slow among many Jindan cultivators.

For Liu Yuxin, who has been married into the Song family for many years, the family has always been aware of her contributions to the family over the years.

Therefore, Song Qingming, the ancestor of the family, never treated her as an outsider. This time, he taught Liu Yuxin and answered all her questions, helping her solve many problems in cultivation.

After living near "Baisha Island" for nearly a month, Song Qingming took Huang Siyuan to bid farewell to Luo Li and others and left the "Tianxing Sea" together.

After leaving "Baisha Island", Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan did not return directly to the "Floating Cloud Mountains" cultivation world, but changed direction and rushed all the way south.

After going out for fun, Song Qingming felt much better, but he was still somewhat helpless about how to improve his "puppet skills".

After practicing for so many years, Song Qingming knows many high-level cultivators at the Jindan and even Yuanying levels.

But when it comes to practicing "puppet skills", there are really not many monks who are proficient in this area.

After thinking it over, Song Qingming decided to leave the "Tianxing Sea" and take a detour to the "Tianhai Xiuxian Realm" in the south.

Where can he go to consult the person who taught him the "puppetry skills" when he first came into contact with puppetry.
-
In the southeast of "Tianhai Xiuxian Realm", there is a huge valley covering an area of ​​nearly 100 miles.

The valley is full of red maple leaves and there are many pavilions and towers in it.

Whenever the sunlight from the sky falls through a layer of protective shield in the valley, thin white mist will rise all around, covering the entire valley like a fairyland.

This valley full of fallen leaves is the location of a nearby immortal cultivation sect called "Fallen Maple Valley".

However, the cultivators here rarely go out and have little contact with the outside world, so many people around have forgotten the existence of this sect.

But if someone mentions the three words "Luofeng Valley" outside, everyone will immediately remember that this is a Yuanying sect that was originally famous.

This time, two figures suddenly flew in from outside the valley and landed in front of a courtyard at the entrance of the valley.

One of them glanced around and nodded slightly, and then the two of them walked towards the valley ahead together.

They had just walked forward less than ten feet when several disciples of "Luomae Valley" wearing yellow robes suddenly walked out of a stone pavilion not far ahead and took the initiative to stop the two of them.

"This is the gate of Luofeng Valley. I don't know where you two are from. Please stay!"

Hearing the two people in front claiming to be disciples of "Luomae Valley", the green-robed man walking in front suddenly showed a hint of joy on his face and nodded slightly to them.

"It seems we have come to the right place. We came to Luofeng Valley to look for someone!"

After saying that, the man in green robe shook his sleeves, and a prepared letter appeared in his hand, which he handed directly to the person in front of him.

"Please help pass on a message. I'm looking for Elder Song of your sect."

"Elder Song, there is no elder named Song among the elders of our sect. Have you come to the wrong place?"

After taking a look at the letter handed over by Song Qingming himself, the leader of "Luomaeng Valley" shook his head with some confusion on his face and did not take his letter.

"There is no elder named Song, so does your sect have a monk named Song Yuanli?"

What he didn't expect was that when Song Qingming asked again, these disciples of "Luomage Valley" thought about it carefully, and still shook their heads firmly, indicating that there was no such person in the valley at all.

Seeing that the other party did not seem to be deceiving him, Song Qingming could only take back the letter in his hand, turn around and walk slowly out of the valley with Huang Siyuan.

"Husband, what's going on? Is Yuan Li no longer in Luofeng Valley?"

"I remember Yuan Li said at the time that he came here, but it has been a hundred years since then. I don't know if there has been any other mishap?"

Faced with Huang Siyuan's questioning beside him, Song Qingming looked somewhat helpless and could only shake his head slightly.

When he left the "Tianhai Immortal Cultivation World", Song Yuanli chose to stay here and inherit Feng He's mantle because he wanted to be Feng He's disciple.

Logically speaking, as Feng He's disciple, and having already successfully formed a golden elixir, Song Yuanli should directly join the "Luomagnet Valley" and become a golden elixir elder in the sect.

But now the other party claimed that there was no such person in the valley at all. This made Song Qingming unable to figure out what had gone wrong for a while, and he couldn't help but feel a little more worried.

After walking back a dozen steps, Song Qingming, who was thinking constantly, suddenly a figure flashed through his mind and he immediately stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Song Qingming turned around and came to the ancient stone pavilion again.

When those people from "Luomag Valley" saw Song Qingming and the other two suddenly come back, they couldn't help but look a little surprised.

"Hey! Didn't you just say that the person you were looking for wasn't there? Why did you come back?"

Seeing this, Song Qingming hurriedly bowed slightly and said:
"I would also like to ask, does your sect have an elder named Chen Shutian?"

"You are talking about Elder Chen. What do you want from her?"

When Song Qingming mentioned Chen Shutian, the leading disciple of "Luomagnet Valley" changed his expression slightly and asked a question immediately.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Song Qingming immediately knew that he had asked the right question, and hurriedly smiled and continued:
"I'm really sorry, I just remembered it wrong. I'm here to look for Elder Chen. Can you please help pass on a message for me?"

Because Feng He's identity is rather special, Song Qingming shouldn't approach him directly.

However, now he didn't know where Song Yuanli had gone, so Song Qingming could only think of the elder Chen Shutian from "Luomae Valley" whom he had met before, and tried to ask her.

Fortunately, the result this time did not disappoint him. The other party indeed admitted that there was this Jindan elder in their sect.

At that time, Chen Shutian was already the Jindan elder of "Luomae Valley" and was deeply trusted by Feng He. If she could be found, they should be able to figure out where Song Yuanli had gone.

Faced with Song Qingming's request this time, the disciple of "Luomage Valley" thought about it and nodded slightly.

"Okay! You wait here first, I will deliver this letter to Elder Chen."

After saying that, the other party returned to the stone pavilion and disappeared from Song Qingming's sight.

About another stick of incense time passed, just as Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were waiting patiently in place, two figures suddenly flew out of the valley and landed in front of them.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, Yuan Li, why is it you?"

Seeing two familiar figures in front of them, who were Chen Shutian and Song Yuanli whom they hadn't seen for many years, Song Qingming and the others were slightly stunned, and their faces suddenly showed a bit more confusion.

Hearing this, Song Yuanli, who still had a bit of joy on his face, glanced at the several "Luomae Valley" disciples beside him, and immediately whispered to the two people in front of him:

"Seventh Uncle, if you have anything to say, let's go into the valley first!"

(PS: My family is compiling a family tree these days, and I have been running to the countryside every day. I am really busy.

Fortunately, I have managed to complete the task of writing the book. I hope you can forgive me for any shortcomings. ）(End of this chapter)
