Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Half a month later, above a stone pavilion outside "Fallen Maple Valley".

Soon, several beams of light flew over and landed directly outside the stone pavilion. They turned into three figures and walked quickly into the stone pavilion.

"Greetings to Seventh Uncle, Grandpa!"

Seeing two figures walking slowly out of the pavilion, Song Yuanli and Chen Shutian hurriedly took a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old and took the initiative to step forward and pay their respects.

Seeing this, Song Qingming quickly waved his hand and then turned his attention to the young man following Song Yuanli and his wife.

“Seventh Uncle, Yuan Li and I have already discussed it, let Xuan Li return to the family with you!
Although this child has not been practicing in the mountains for a long time, he has the best aptitude among the younger generations in the family.

With your care and the family's support, he should be able to build a foundation in the future."

"Well! Don't worry.

Today, the family's financial situation is much better than it was back then.

As long as he can concentrate on his cultivation, although his future Dan formation will depend on some opportunities, we can still take care of the foundation-building matter."

After paying homage to their old friend Feng He, Song Qingming and his companion, who had finally made the trip to the "Tianhai Xiuxian World", went on a tour around the "Luomaeng Valley" together.

Now, more than half a month has passed, and I am still worried about the two people at home, so I am ready to return to the "Floating Cloud Mountains".

Therefore, the couple came here specifically to see Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan off.

Song Xuanli was already a monk and the grandson of Song Yuanli. According to the family genealogy, he was ranked in the "Xuan" generation.

At the beginning, Song Yuanli did not marry into the family, so there were no descendants of his in the ancestral land of "Funiu Mountain".

Seeing that Song Qingming was going to return to the "Floating Cloud Mountains" to cultivate the immortal world, he discussed with Chen Shutian and his wife, and decided to choose one of his descendants to follow Song Qingming back to the family.

This move can be regarded as leaving a little bloodline for the monks of Song Yuanli's lineage in the ancestral land of "Funiu Mountain" in the future.

Song Qingming also agreed to the request made by Song Yuanli and Chen Shutian, and immediately agreed to it.

Now, after so many years of development, the "Funiu Mountain" Song family has long been famous in the entire Floating Cloud Mountain Range cultivation world, and has the Nascent Soul ancestor Song Qingming looking after them from behind.

With Song Xuanli's three spiritual roots, as long as he practices steadily, it will definitely not be difficult for him to build a foundation in the future.

After talking to Song Qingming, Chen Shutian, who still looked a little reluctant to let go of her grandson, pulled him aside.

Then he took out a storage bag from his body, handed it to Song Xuanli personally, and carefully gave him some instructions.

Seeing this, Song Qingming took out another blue book from his pocket and gave it to Song Yuanli.

"This is the genealogy that Yuan Fang asked the family monks to compile a few years ago. It not only records the birth and death names of all the monks in the Funiu Mountain lineage, but also the family's future generations.

I just happened to have a copy with me, so I'll give it to you.

When these children enter the Tao in the future, it will be convenient for you to change their names and enter them into the family tree."

Looking at the thick "family tree" that Song Qingming took the initiative to hand over, Song Yuanli's face suddenly showed a bit of solemnity, and he took it seriously.

As soon as he opened the first page of the "family tree", Song Yuanli saw the portraits of the family ancestors and a line of sixteen deep and dignified large characters.

"Eternal and evergreen, new and prosperous."

"Lin Si Yu Jing, Shao Shi Cheng Ming."

The sixteen generation names of the Song family were determined decades ago when the family was continuing its genealogy after discussions among many elders including Song Yuanfang, and with the consent of the ancestor Song Qingming.

Since the ancestor of the family settled in the ancestral land "Funiu Mountain" five hundred years ago, the family has gone through eleven generations of cultivators and has been passed down to the generation with the surname "Yu".

Looking at the familiar names on the "family tree", Song Yuanli's face immediately fell silent.

Seeing this, Song Qingming stopped disturbing him. He smiled and nodded slightly to Chen Shutian beside him. Then, he took out the "Phantom Boat" with a flash of inspiration in his hand.

It was not until Song Qingming and the other two boarded the flying boat that Song Yuanli noticed something was wrong. He hurriedly waved to the people in the air and watched them turn into a beam of light and leave the place.

"Husband, let's go back too!"

Seeing that Song Qingming and others had disappeared far into the horizon, but Song Yuanli was still standing there in a daze, Chen Shutian spoke up to remind him.

Only then did Song Yuanli come back to his senses and put away the thick "family tree" in his hand.

Soon, the two of them turned into a beam of light and left the stone pavilion.

High in the sky far away, looking at the mountains and rivers gradually receding below, Song Xuanli, who was sitting on the "Phantom Boat", gradually showed a bit of uneasiness on his still immature face.

After all, this was the first time for him to travel far away after living in "Luomae Valley" for so many years, and it was also the first time for him to ride on a flying boat of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

At this time, Song Xuanli was just like Song Qingming who had just entered the Tao. He was somewhat curious about the unknown things outside and was also worried about his future life prospects.

Seeing this, Song Qingming hurriedly turned around and comforted the other party with a few words, then cast a spell to release a soundproof shield to block out the whistling sound brought by the strong wind in the air.

Song Xuanli, who was sitting on the flying boat, couldn't help but feel warm at heart at the thoughtful care of the old ancestor beside him, and his complexion looked a little better than before.

Seeing this, Song Qingming turned around, sat cross-legged, and took out a bamboo slip from his body.

While controlling the direction of the flying boat, he watched carefully.

Although he failed to meet his old friend Feng He this time, Song Qingming still found a copy of the "Puppet Secret Technique" left by Feng He from Song Yuanli, the leader of "Luofeng Valley".

This secret method is a high-level "puppet skill" that Feng He wrote down before his death, based on his own experience in refining puppets.

It not only contains many secret methods of making puppets that Feng He collected in the past, but also many of Feng He's personal experiences in making puppets during his lifetime. It can be regarded as an extremely complete inheritance of "puppet skills".

If such a high-level "puppet skill" secret technique were placed in an ordinary sect, it would definitely be regarded as the sect's heritage and would not be easily passed on to others.

But Song Qingming has a special relationship with "Luomae Valley" after all, and he is also an old friend of Feng He.

When he asked to engrave the secret method, Song Yuanli and Chen Shutian discussed it and agreed to it without consulting anyone else.

Song Qingming, who obtained the "puppet skills" left by Feng He, also indirectly achieved the purpose of his trip to the "Tianhai Immortal Realm".

However, Song Qingming did not take their things for nothing. He also gave them several third-level spiritual objects that were useful to Song Yuanli and his wife in exchange for this "Puppet Secret Technique".

At this moment, Song Qingming, who was sitting on a flying boat and traveling, had nothing to do, so he quickly became immersed in the bamboo slips in his hand.

When Feng He was still alive, his "puppet skills" had already been upgraded to the fourth-level lower grade, and he had refined more than one fourth-level puppet beast.

This time, after obtaining the "Puppet Secret Technique" he left behind, Song Qingming studied it carefully and soon felt many things from it that he had not noticed when he was refining puppets before.

I couldn't help but secretly admire Feng He who wrote this. He is truly a genius who can improve his "puppet skills" to the fourth level.

After leaving "Luomae Valley", Song Qingming and the other two followed the same route they came from, heading east and returning to the "East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World".

Song Qingming had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and his return journey was the same as his coming journey, with everything going smoothly without any accidents.

After returning to the "East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World", Song Qingming made a special trip to the Black Cloud Island in the "Tianxing Sea Area" to inform Song Changze and his wife about what happened on Song Yuanli's side.

When Song Yuanli left home for the "Tianhai Immortal Realm", only he, Huang Siyuan, Song Qingyu and Song Yuanfang knew the details.

Over the years, Song Changze and his friends have always believed that Song Yuanli disappeared while traveling abroad.

Upon hearing the news about Song Yuanli, Song Changze, a younger family member who is not much older than Song Yuanli, was also very excited.

In the nearly two months since Song Qingming left, great changes have also taken place in the "Tianxing Sea".

The news that Song Qingming had killed Jin Chiliang, deputy leader of the "Iron Sword Alliance", on "Baisha Island" quickly spread throughout the "Tianxing Sea".

What was unexpected was that upon learning that their deputy leader had been killed, the "Iron Sword Alliance" remained very calm.

Not only did they not dare to send people to the "Tianxuan Sect" to investigate the cause of Jin Chiliang's death, but they began to vigorously shrink their own power and voluntarily gave up many of the islands they occupied nearby.

This also caused the "Tianxing Sea", which had already been turbulent, to suddenly calm down.

Upon learning of the reaction of the "Iron Sword Alliance", Song Qingming did not seem too surprised.

After all, he had killed Jin Chiliang not only to rescue Luo Li and the others, but also to give a clear warning to the people of the "Iron Sword Alliance".

No matter where you go in the world of immortal cultivation, strength is still what is respected.

The "Iron Sword Alliance" may be a powerful force in the nearby waters, but in front of this Nascent Soul cultivator like himself, it is still not enough.

As an outsider Nascent Soul cultivator, Song Qingming did not want to directly interfere in the affairs of the "Tianxing Sea".

But if someone directly bullied his relatives or friends, he would not sit idly by and watch it happen.

After all, his cultivation has now reached the Nascent Soul stage.

If I can't even protect a small "Tianxuan Sect", all these years of practice would have been in vain.
-
half a month later.

As a beam of light approached rapidly from the east, Song Qingming and his companions finally returned to the vicinity of "Chiyun Mountain" and met Song Qingyu who had come out of the formation to greet them in person.

Appearing with Song Qingyu was the "Ice and Fire Dragon" who accepted the order from his master and stayed behind to help protect the law.

"Chiyun Mountain" is now not only protected by a fourth-level formation, but there are also nearly ten thousand human cultivators on the mountain.

Even if Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were not counted, there were still seven Jindan masters including Song Qingyu, plus an "Ice and Fire Dragon" whose strength had also reached the peak of Jindan.

With such a powerful lineup, even if the Yuanying Demon King's army from the north attacks, they will not be able to easily break through the "Chiyun Mountain" formation in a short period of time, which is enough for Song Qingyu and others to wait for reinforcements.

It was precisely because there were so many cultivators guarding "Chiyun Mountain" that Song Qingming was able to go out and play with Huang Siyuan without worry for several months.

Seeing its master returning, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" immediately enlarged its body and came to Song Qingming and the others.

It was the first time that Song Xuanli, who was standing on the flying boat, saw a spiritual beast of the level of the Demon King. When he saw the huge body of the "Ice and Fire Dragon" that was more than ten meters long, he was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly.

However, when Song Qingming lifted him up, Song Xuanli soon felt his feet suddenly leave the ground and fly into the air.

The next moment, before he could react, he fell directly on a broad body, which was the dragon he had just seen.

When Song Qingming put away the "Phantom Boat" beside him, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" swung its thick tail and took Song Qingming and others through the "Mountain Protection Array" and returned to the top of the mountain.

After Huang Siyuan took Song Xuanli to settle down, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu came to the cave where senior sister Li Xuanyi was in seclusion.

After several months, the spiritual energy in the retreat cave has changed a little compared to when Song Qingming left, but overall it is still relatively calm.

Seeing that senior sister Li Xuanyi was in a fetal position and there was still no sign of results in a short period of time, Song Qingming shook his head slightly and returned to his cave.

After returning to "Chiyun Mountain" this time, Song Qingming once again immersed himself in improving his "puppet skills".

Except for coming out of seclusion for a fixed period of time to observe the cave where his senior sister Li Xuanyi was in seclusion, Song Qingming almost never left the top of the mountain.

Even the materials needed to refine the puppets were delivered directly to the top of the mountain by Song Yuanfang and others.

This time, Song Qingming was not in a hurry to improve his skills. He directly refined a high-level "puppet beast" as he did in the past.

Instead, he comprehended the "secret puppet technique" left by Feng He, and perfected his own "puppet skills" from scratch.

He revised and improved the parts that were not perfect when he was refining the "Puppet Beast" before.

After such careful research, Song Qingming also felt many of his previous shortcomings in refining puppets. He corrected them and improved the quality of his puppets a lot.

Not until he had comprehended most of the "Puppet Secret Technique" left by Feng He did Song Qingming officially begin to try to refine a high-level "Puppet Beast".

Nearly three years passed like this, and Song Qingming, who had consumed a lot of high-level materials, finally succeeded in refining the first third-level intermediate-grade "puppet beast".

As he wished, he successfully upgraded his "puppet skills" to the third-level intermediate level.

Standing in the cave, Song Qingming carefully examined the "puppet beast" he had just refined in his hand. After confirming that there were no fatal problems with the spiritual creature in his hand, a satisfied smile finally appeared on his face.

"Although it took a lot of time, my efforts were not in vain, and it can be said that hard work pays off."

After muttering to himself, Song Qingming moved the magic power in his hand and put away the "puppet beast" he had just refined, then turned and walked towards the cave hall.

Just when Song Qingming was about to go and see "Jinfeng", "Yinjia" and others who were practicing in the stone chamber on the other side, a wave suddenly came from outside the cave.

After a while, a white sound transmission note flew in directly through the restriction at the entrance of the cave.

Seeing this, Song Qingming, with a somewhat surprised look on his face, raised his hand and waved, then took the "Note Transmission Sound" in front of him into his hand.

Not long after, Song Qingming's face changed. He put away the talisman and walked out of the cave quickly.

As soon as he walked out of the cave entrance, Song Qingming looked up and saw a strange phenomenon appearing in the sky above the top of the mountain.

Just like when the "Ice and Fire Dragon" formed its infant, a cloud of white mist had also gathered above the cave where Senior Sister Li Xuanyi was in seclusion, and was rolling around constantly.

This almost identical "phenomenon of heaven and earth" also made Song Qingming look somewhat delighted, and he quickly moved to the outside of Li Xuanyi's cave.

At this time, Song Qingyu had already been waiting near Li Xuanyi's cave.

The "sound transmission talisman" that Song Qingming just received in the cave was the first thing she notified him of after she saw the strange phenomenon.

Seeing Song Qingming rushing over not far away, Song Qingyu, who had just activated a large formation to cover up the "strange phenomenon of heaven and earth" on the top of the mountain, hurriedly went to greet him with a happy look on his face.

"Seventh Brother, do you think Senior Sister Li is about to pass the thunder tribulation?"

Hearing this, Song Qingming carefully scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense, then shook his head slightly.

"Senior Sister Li has just reached the stage of fetal transformation into Nascent Soul. There is still some time before she can transcend the tribulation. Don't be anxious!"

Through the spiritual sense investigation just now, Song Qingming has already felt that the spiritual energy in Li Xuanyi's cave is wildly agitated.

Based on his previous experience in forming a Nascent Soul, it was obvious that the other party had successfully passed the first two stages of gathering the spirit in the heart and tempering the elixir with vital energy, and had reached the stage of transforming the fetus into a Nascent Soul.

However, Li Xuanyi has just begun to transform into a Nascent Soul, and is far from the point of triggering the "Heavenly Thunder Tribulation" as Song Qingyu said.

Therefore, although Song Qingming was worried about it in his heart, he still looked calm.

After all, the third stage, "transformation from fetus to Nascent Soul", is the most difficult stage for a cultivator to form a Nascent Soul.

It is still unknown whether Senior Sister Li Xuanyi can successfully pass this level. It is obviously too early to worry about her tribulation at this time.

In the world of immortal cultivation, there are very few cultivators who can succeed in forming a fetus in one go.

This was Li Xuanyi's first attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Knowing that he was in seclusion in a hurry, Song Qingming did not have much hope that he would achieve the Nascent Soul stage this time.

However, seeing that Senior Sister Li Xuanyi has successfully reached the stage of "fetus transformation into Nascent Soul", it was indeed somewhat beyond Song Qingming's expectations.

I didn’t expect that Li Xuanyi could pass the first two levels so smoothly when she was forming a baby for the first time.

Just as Song Qingming and the other were talking, a yellow figure suddenly appeared not far away and came to their side.

Huang Siyuan, who was also in seclusion, came out and rushed over after receiving the message from Song Qingyu.

After going out for a trip with Song Qingming, Huang Siyuan returned to "Chiyun Mountain". After more than a year of seclusion, she successfully broke through her cultivation level and advanced to the eighth level of Golden Core.

Compared with Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi, Huang Siyuan's cultivation speed is slightly slower.

However, over the years, with the support of the alchemy force "Tian Dan League", Huang Siyuan has never lacked high-level elixirs in her practice.

It was with the help of elixirs and spiritual objects that Huang Siyuan's cultivation had barely not fallen too far behind, and now she was one step closer to reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

Huang Siyuan had just broken through to a new realm not long ago, and she still needed some time to stay in the cave to consolidate her cultivation.

However, after hearing that her senior sister Li Xuanyi had touched the "phenomenon of heaven and earth", she did not want to miss the opportunity to observe others' efforts to reach the Nascent Soul stage, so she could not help but come out of seclusion early and come here.

After the three of them met and greeted each other, they looked at the "strange phenomenon of heaven and earth" above the sky at the same time, and they couldn't help but secretly worry about their senior sister Li Xuanyi becoming nervous.

However, things did not go beyond Song Qingming's expectations.

After Li Xuanyi's transformation into Nascent Soul triggered the "phenomenon of heaven and earth", it only lasted for less than half a year and soon stopped.

As the white mist above the top of the mountain slowly disappeared, Song Qingming, who confirmed that the other party had failed to form a fetus, hurriedly took Song Qingyu and the other two into the cave where his senior sister Li Xuanyi was in seclusion.

At this time, Li Xuanyi was sitting cross-legged, his face was very pale and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Looking at the three people who came in, he sighed slightly and forced a smile.

"Junior Brother Song, Xuan Yi failed to succeed this time, and I'm sorry to have made you worry about me!"

"Sister, don't be so anxious to speak. Let me check your injuries first!"

Hearing the sigh of senior sister Li Xuanyi, Song Qingming did not rush to answer her, but directly put his hand on Li Xuanyi's forehead.

As his spiritual sense penetrated into his body, the originally tense expression on Song Qingming's face relaxed a little.

This time, although Senior Sister Li Xuanyi failed to successfully form a fetus, she failed at the stage of "transforming the fetus into an infant".

However, the injuries she suffered after failing to form a fetus were not as bad as Song Qingming had expected.

Although many of his meridians and dantian were injured, the most important golden elixir in Li Xuanyi's body was not damaged too seriously.

After confirming that the other party's injuries would not have too serious an impact, Song Qingming felt relieved and withdrew his spiritual sense. Then he nodded calmly to the people around him.

"Senior sister, there is nothing wrong with the golden elixir in your body. After a few years of recuperation, it should be able to recover slowly and will not delay the next baby formation."

After hearing what Song Qingming said, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, who were also a little worried, and Li Xuanyi himself, all breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, I am lucky in misfortune."

It is very rare for ordinary cultivators to succeed in forming a fetus in one go, but no matter who fails, they will inevitably hurt themselves.

In serious cases, like what happened to the old master Yao Qianshu, too much time would be wasted on healing, and thus the critical moment for the next fetus formation would be missed.

If one is luckier, like Li Xuanyi, one can slowly recover after five or six years of recuperation, and can indeed be considered a lucky person.

"Don't worry, with the experience of this baby formation, I will definitely be able to go further next time."

After confirming that his injuries were not serious, Li Xuanyi showed a relaxed smile again, and he began to comfort Song Qingming and others beside him.

Just as Song Qingming and others were talking in the cave.

At the bottom of the Chiyun Mountain, a figure holding a letter also walked quickly up to the top of the mountain. (End of this chapter)
