Yunmeng Immortal Clan

The news that the two clans had failed in their attack on the Qinglian Song Clan and were instead destroyed by the Song Clan had spread throughout the entire Yunmeng cultivation world.

The second-tier spiritual vein essence of the two clans' ancestral lands was quickly extracted by the people sent by the Song clan, and then transplanted into the spiritual veins in the Azure Lotus Islands.

Under the infusion of the spiritual veins of the two races, the second-tier low-grade spiritual veins of the Azure Lotus Islands rapidly upgraded to the second-tier high-grade level.

However, if the spiritual veins here are to be upgraded further, the Song family will need to plunder the essence of other spiritual veins and integrate it into the spiritual veins.

Although the Qinglian Song Clan won the war between the three clans, it was a Pyrrhic victory. Originally, the Qinglian Song Clan had more than 300 cultivators, but more than 100 of them perished in this battle, which shows how fierce the battle was.

With the Wang and Gu clans wiped out, the combined second-tier resource points of the two clans totaled a total of six, making management quite inconvenient.

As for the resource points previously occupied by the two clans, such as Cold Smoke Valley and Fire Toad Pool, the Qinglian Song clan handed over the management of both resource points to the Mu clan after the war ended.

The Mu clan was quite sensible; after obtaining these resource points, they did not express any desire to shed their status as a vassal family of the Song clan, but instead wanted to continue serving as vassals of the Qinglian Song clan.

On the contrary, a major event occurred in the northern part of Yunmeng Immortal Continent. After Xiang Renyao of the Xiang Clan perished, the overall strength of the Shahe Xiang Clan was greatly reduced due to the loss of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The Liling Liu Clan was originally on par with the Shahe Xiang Clan in strength. Now that the balance has been broken, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Liling Liu Clan. This great immortal cultivation family quickly sent troops to attack the Shahe Xiang Clan.

Two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Liu clan of Liling launched a powerful attack on the Xiang clan of Shahe. Unexpectedly, another late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Xiang clan of Shahe was completely defeated by the two. He had no choice but to abandon all the cultivators in his family, which led to the extermination of the entire Xiang clan of Shahe.

Right after the Liu clan destroyed the Xiang clan, the Tang clan of immortals in the north, seeing that the time was not right, wisely submitted to the Liu clan of immortals.

Under the rule of the Zhuxi Sect, what appears to be a pattern of four Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans has actually become a pattern of two major Immortal Clans, the Qinglian Song Clan and the Liling Liu Clan, vying for supremacy.

The Liu family of Liling, a powerful family with two cultivators at the late Foundation Establishment stage, was extremely arrogant and also coveted the Song family on the Qinglian Islands in the south.

However, the Liu family of Liling coveted the strength of Song Zhichu, the head of the Song family. The story of Song Zhichu, who was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, killing a late-Foundation Establishment cultivator with a single sword strike had spread throughout the entire Yunmeng cultivation world. That's why the Liu family of Liling did not overstep their bounds with the Qinglian Song family.

For the next few decades, these major cultivation families entered a period of extreme peace.

Inside the cultivation cave on Qing Sui Peak.

Song Daoxuan took out the item that had resonated with the Qi-gathering gourd from his storage bag.

He took out the thumb-sized, long, thin object, and in an instant, it emitted a burst of spiritual light, transforming into a wisp of energy that shot into Song Daoxuan's brow.

This object seemed to be a sentient living thing, and it was instantly absorbed into the Qi-gathering gourd in the sea of ​​consciousness.

On the futon, Song Daoxuan calmed his mind and looked into his sea of ​​consciousness. He discovered that the Qi-gathering gourd, which was originally 60% complete, had actually become 80% complete.

"I didn't expect that the Qi Gathering Immortal Gourd would react because it sensed the location of this fragment. After absorbing this fragment, the Qi Gathering Immortal Gourd's aura has become much stronger. Let's see just how much stronger the Qi Gathering Immortal Gourd has become."

About a month later, Song Daoxuan continued to absorb the morning and evening energy with the Qi-Gathering Gourd. To his surprise, he found that the speed at which the Qi-Gathering Gourd was generating Purple Dew had greatly increased.

In just one month, the so-called Purple Dew had already condensed into two drops.

"The Qi Gathering Gourd's current Qi-gathering rate is five times faster than before. I used to be extremely careful when cultivating second-tier spiritual herbs with Purple Dew, but from today onwards, I no longer have such concerns!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the speed at which the Qi-Gathering Immortal Gourd produces Lunar Dew should be more than five times faster than before. In this way, what used to take ten years to barely condense a single drop of Lunar Dew can now be condensed in just two years!"

When Song Daoxuan arrived at the cave, he saw the extremely lush Ink Spirit Bamboo. He then poured out about ten drops of Taiyin Dew from his Qi-Gathering Gourd towards the Ink Spirit Bamboo grove.

The aura of the Ink Bamboo is even stronger.

"With the Qi-Gathering Gourd I have now, as long as I diligently gather Qi, upgrading the Ink Spirit Bamboo before me to a thousand-year-old black Ink Spirit Bamboo shouldn't be too difficult! If a thousand-year-old Ink Spirit Bamboo can be used to forge such a flying sword, who among those below the Core Formation stage would dare to rival me?"

However, this matter requires further consideration.

"The most important thing now is to refine that puppet..." Song Daoxuan got up and pushed open the door of his cultivation cave, preparing to head to the Heavenly Demon Cave in Chuzhou.

Just then, outside the formation, a Qi Refining cultivator from a family saw Song Daoxuan approaching and bowed respectfully.

"Sixth Elder, someone from outside the island is requesting an audience. They say they are an old friend of yours and wish to see you before they dare to entrust something to you personally!"

Upon hearing this, Song Daoxuan frowned slightly.

"Oh? I don't remember knowing any old acquaintances. But since that's the case, lead the way, and I'll go see them myself."

Song Daoxuan was led to a pavilion for receiving guests. In this pavilion, he saw a familiar person. This person was none other than the freckled girl he had seen at Su Shu's weapon-refining shop. A name surfaced in Song Daoxuan's memory: Yun Su Shu's cousin.

After meeting Song Daoxuan, the woman handed him a letter and a bundle, then left without lingering.

Song Daoxuan opened the letter. The letter expressed the most sincere gratitude to Song Daoxuan for the incident in Yangliu City. However, Yun Sushu and Zhang Ping did not intend to get involved in cultivation again and completely withdrew from the world of cultivation to live a carefree life as mortals.

So the two discussed it and Yun Sushu handed over the weapon-refining method passed down from her ancestors to Song Daoxuan to repay the life-saving grace of that year.

When Song Daoxuan untied the bundle, he found a thick notebook inside, which recorded the insights and experiences of Yun Sushu's grandfather and herself in the art of weapon forging over the years.

Besides this item, there is also a white jade scroll. This scroll contains a method of refining weapons called "Cloudy Refining Technique". This method records countless methods of refining everything from magic weapons to top-tier spiritual weapons, and even records the methods of refining several natal magic treasures. You can imagine how precious this item is.
