Yunmeng Immortal Clan

Upon hearing the words of the treasure trove owner, Song Daoxuan pondered for a moment, then threw out two thousand low-grade spirit stones to purchase all three pieces in front of him and put them into his storage bag.

Afterwards, Song Daoxuan returned to his family's Qing Sui Peak for a short rest.

After spending about a month on Qing Sui Peak, he was about to turn thirty, which was also the thirtieth year that Song Daoxuan had been reborn as a cultivator of the Song family in the Qinglian Islands. In those thirty years, he had cultivated to the Great Perfection of the tenth level of Qi Refining.

However, Song Daoxuan was not complacent about his current cultivation level. After all, he knew that his achievements today were entirely due to the help of the Qi Gathering Immortal Gourd. Otherwise, given his five spiritual roots, he would probably still be hovering between the early and middle stages of Qi Refining.

From beginning to end, Song Daoxuan never considered himself a deity, but rather an ordinary mortal. Mortals are not favored by fate, so if they are not careful enough, even with the help of the Qi Gathering Gourd, they may still be instantly killed by a high-level cultivator with a simple spell.

During this period, Song Daoxuan transplanted the immortal Qingyuan Peach Tree from Qingfeng Lake to outside his cave. Bai Xuan's white-haired demon monkey and the dozen or so spirit monkeys he commanded followed him to Qingsui Peak.

As for the Azure Moon Wolf King, it had been diligently guarding Song Daoxuan's cave during this time, almost never leaving his side.

The Azure Moon Wolf King's bloodline is extraordinary. It is now a first-tier high-level demon beast. Even cultivators at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining in the cultivation world can be dealt with by the Azure Moon Wolf King with its agile speed and attack ability.

During this month, Song Daoxuan also did some research on the so-called demonic beast bloodline.

The bloodlines of demonic beasts are divided into mortal blood, profound blood, earth blood, heaven blood, and holy blood. This represents the potential for the development of a demonic beast's bloodline without it devouring other demonic beasts.

For example, a mortal blood demon is just an ordinary demon beast in the mountains and fields. It is an immense opportunity for a demon beast to become a first-tier demon beast.

Xuanxue is different. As long as it can live peacefully and has enough food, it can become a second-tier demon beast comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The higher the bloodline, the higher the level a demon beast can reach.

Once a person reaches the Saint Demon Bloodline and grows up, they become a demon beast comparable to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. However, demon beasts of this level are extremely rare in the vast cultivation world. If the legendary true dragons and phoenixes truly exist, they are born with this Saint Demon Bloodline.

Most demonic beasts have mortal blood. The higher the bloodline, the rarer it is among the demon race. This is even rarer than the spiritual roots of human cultivators.

However, the demon race has an ironclad rule: the law of devouring for evolution. Theoretically, demon beasts can devour higher-level bloodlines to reverse their own conditions and reach a higher level. But in reality, very few demon beasts can achieve self-sublimation through the law of devouring for evolution. After all, high-level bloodlines are sometimes concentrated and monopolized in a certain race. High-level bloodlines are supported by many people in the race, and there are even powerful demons guarding them. So, for a demon beast to reverse its condition, it also needs a certain opportunity.

According to Song Daoxuan's judgment, Bai Xuan and Qing Yue are precocious, so their bloodlines are not ordinary. Bai Xuan, in particular, is born with the ability to speak human language. These two demon beasts are at least of the Xuan Demon bloodline.

However, they should no longer be called demonic beasts, but spirit beasts.

The difference between demonic beasts and spirit beasts lies in the fact that demonic beasts are untamed and savage creatures, while spirit beasts are creatures that have been subdued by cultivators.

In the cultivation world, few cultivators learn the art of beast taming, because the cultivation world values ​​longevity more. Beast tamers mostly rely on the power of demonic beasts. Since the lifespan of demonic beasts is often several times that of human cultivators, the growth of the spirit beasts they control is no easier than a cultivator improving their cultivation level without a stroke of good fortune. Usually, the beast tamer dies before the spirit beast, and there are countless examples of spirit beasts whose cultivation is inferior to that of the beast tamer.

"Even with the Xuan Yao bloodline, unless it's a functional demon beast (flying demon beast, sea-diving demon beast, earth-shattering demon beast, etc.), most beast tamers are too lazy to even try to tame it. The reward cycle for taming beasts is long, the possibility of failure is huge, and there are even cases of spirit beasts becoming attached to their masters in the cultivation world. This is why there are so few beast tamers in the cultivation world..."

"I didn't know my Qi Gathering Gourd could help demonic beasts improve their bloodline level, but I don't have that idea right now. After all, I'm not even a Foundation Establishment cultivator yet. How can I help my family's cultivators or even spirit beasts when I'm not even strong myself..."

Upon thinking of this, Song Daoxuan tidied himself up and changed into a blue patterned robe, cloud-patterned boots, and a blue jade armor.

These three items exuded extraordinary magical power, but in terms of appearance alone, they were just ordinary clothes. With a simple hand gesture and a breath control technique, Song Daoxuan concealed the immortal aura of the three items, making them appear as ordinary objects.

The Turtle Breathing Technique, a method of concealing one's breath, suppresses Song Daoxuan's cultivation level to the fourth level of Qi Refining. As long as he doesn't engage in combat, even Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot see through Song Daoxuan's true cultivation level.

Song Daoxuan rode directly on the back of the Azure Moon Wolf King and escaped from the Azure Lotus Islands at lightning speed.

Outside the island, Song Daoxuan directly took out the Yuanqing Sanren Ruins Token. He made a hand seal to activate the token, and then probed into it with his divine sense. Soon, a map appeared.

Following the markings on the map, Song Daoxuan kept adjusting his position. Although his spiritual sense, which was at the tenth level of Qi Refining, was still not considered very strong, after wandering around for two months, Song Daoxuan finally found the ruins of Yuan Qing Sanren.

Then, as soon as he approached the ruins of Yuan Qing Sanren, Song Daoxuan sensed several divine auras with his divine sense power.

Before Song Daoxuan could react, the owners of these divine senses suddenly appeared in front of him.

Besides Song Daoxuan, there were four unfamiliar faces in total.

Two of the four were Qi Refining cultivators, one of whom was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, Song Daoxuan quickly determined.

The other Qi Refining cultivator had even reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, which was only one level lower than Song Daoxuan's current cultivation level. He just lacked the time to accumulate experience.

The other two figures shocked Song Daoxuan. Although their auras were not as strong as those of his family's patriarch Song Zhichu or the Foundation Establishment cultivator he had encountered before, Zhou Yunlan was quite powerful.

But compared to himself, they were worlds apart. Judging from their auras, the two of them were undoubtedly at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Soon, the cultivators greeted each other.

"I am Lu Chuxue, an outer sect steward of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. Are you all here for the Yuanqing Ruins?" The person who took the initiative to greet us was a handsome man in a dark green Daoist robe, who was one of the early Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"My apologies, my apologies. My name is Shen Xu, a cultivator from the Beast Control Sect..."

Another Foundation Establishment cultivator on the field also humbly bowed.

Besides these two, there is a female cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining named Li Lan and a male cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining named Wei Chong. These two cultivators seem to be disciples of the five major immortal cultivation sects.
