Chapter 148 Qinghe Meeting
After talking with his fourth uncle, seeing that his second sister had not come out of retreat yet, Song Qingming hurried to the meeting hall in the center of Qinghefang.
As soon as he walked to the door, a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect came up to greet him and took him in.
When he got inside, he saw that in addition to Lu Yuanfeng, there were two foundation-building cultivators sitting here. When they saw Song Qingming coming in, they stood up and greeted him.
"Fellow Daoist Song is here. I am honored to see you today. Please take care of me in the future."
The speaker was a cultivator who was a little older than him. This person had already reached the third level of foundation building. Song Qingming had never seen him before. He should be the head of the Lu family, one of the four foundation-building families in Qinghe County.
Song Qingming had seen the foundation-building cultivators of the Huang family, the Gao family, and the Qian family from afar, but only the head of the Lu family was someone Song Qingming had never seen before.
"Fellow Daoist Lu and Fellow Daoist Gao are polite." After Song Qingming recognized them, he quickly returned a greeting to the two.
Gao Jinhe and Lu Xingde nodded and sat down again.
"Fellow Daoist Song, please come this way. I am Lu Yuanfeng from Xiaoyao Sect." An old bearded monk came forward and invited Song Qingming to a chair that had been prepared.
Song Qingming had met Lu Yuanfeng from Qinghefang twice when he lived in Qinghefang. He was a cultivator from Xiaoyao Sect who had been building his foundation for many years. Although his cultivation was not high among the cultivators of foundation building, his fighting skills were still very powerful among the cultivators of the middle stage of foundation building. If they really fought, Gao Jinhe, the head of the Gao family who was at the sixth level of foundation building, might not be his opponent.
After Song Qingming sat down, more than half an hour later, Huang Shengxin, the head of the Huang family, walked in with a smile on his face.
"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time!" As soon as Huang Shengxin came in, he saw that everyone was almost there, and he quickly said an apology.
After hearing this, Lu Yuanfeng shook his head and said, "Brother Huang, it's not too late. Fellow Daoist Qian hasn't come yet."
Huang Shengxin shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Qian's matter has been resolved. He asked us to tell you that he won't come again."
"Is that so? Then let's not wait for him. Let's discuss the matter first." Lu Yuanfeng nodded and said.
"The Huang family is really calculating. They swallowed up the Chifengling spiritual vein so easily." Lu Xingde, who was pretending to taste tea, took the opportunity to secretly send a message to Gao Jinhe.
The latter smiled bitterly, shook his head and did not reply to him immediately.
Lu Yuanfeng looked at the four people sitting below and said with a serious face: "Today, we have called everyone here. The first thing is that Fellow Daoist Song has established his foundation. From today on, the Song family of Funiushan will be officially promoted to a foundation-building family. The area within a hundred miles around Funiushan will be under the jurisdiction of the Song family. Similarly, you will also formally accept the dispatch of the sect in the future and pay tribute to the sect in Qinghefang on time.
The foundation-building families in Qinghe County can automatically get a part of the shares in Qinghefang, and they also need to pay a certain amount of spiritual stones to Xiaoyao Sect on time. The more they get, the more tribute they pay, but overall they still make some money.
"The sect is so kind, our Song family is very grateful, and if the sect has any dispatches in the future, the Song family will definitely not refuse. "After Song Qingming heard Lu Yuanfeng mention the Song family, he quickly stood up to show his attitude.
Sure enough, after hearing Song Qingming say this so decisively, Lu Yuanfeng nodded with satisfaction and continued: "The second thing is that Fellow Daoist Qian of Chifengling has made a decision. They will leave Qinghe County, and the shares in Qinghefang will also be withdrawn this time. In the future, they will be directly handed over to Fellow Daoist Song. Do you have any objections? . "
"We have been in Qinghefang for hundreds of years, and the rules have always been like this. It doesn't affect everyone if someone withdraws and someone takes over immediately. Naturally, my Huang family has no objection to this. "The first person to speak was Huang Shengxin, a master who had reached the ninth level of foundation building.
After hearing Huang Shengxin's words, Gao Jinhe and Lu Xingde looked at each other and nodded without expressing their opinions. Since this would not affect their interests, they would naturally not object.
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Lu Yuanfeng said, "The last thing is that because the five-year agreement has expired, Qinghefang will have to replace the new garrison cultivators. Except for Fellow Daoist Song, who has just arrived, everyone knows this. I won't say much, and I hope you can understand. "
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Huang Shengxin said, "Speaking of which, it just happens that the garrison cultivators this time are our Huang family's turn. I have an unwelcome request here, and I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Song if you can help me."
"Help with what? Fellow Daoist Huang, please speak frankly. "Song Qingming looked at Huang Shengxin with some surprise, as if he didn't understand what he meant.
Huang Shengxin replied: "I will be in seclusion again next, and the several spiritual veins in the clan cannot be left unguarded. I would like to ask Brother Song to help take over the Qinghefang for a few years. After I come out of seclusion, I will definitely help you return it."
"Is this possible?" Song Qingming asked Lu Yuanfeng in confusion.
Lu Yuanfeng smiled and said: "This situation has happened before. As long as there is no problem with your two families' discussion, I just need to change the person who registered it. Please rest assured, it is not a big problem. "
"Well, if there is no other impact, I have no objection to this, and I am willing to exchange with Fellow Daoist Huang."
The best thing about helping to guard Qinghefang for Song Qingming is that he can immediately have a second-level spiritual vein for cultivation.
Although the second-level spiritual vein in Qinghefang supports many cultivators, it is a genuine second-level middle-grade spiritual vein, which can support one or two foundation-building cultivators without any problem.
Now that the Huang family has taken the initiative to propose to exchange guard time with the Song family, this can greatly alleviate Song Qingming's urgent need for a suitable second-level spiritual vein cultivator. Song Qingming estimated that this should be done intentionally by the Huang family to thank the Song family for not interfering with them in seizing the Chifengling spiritual vein. Compared with getting a complete second-level spiritual vein, the Huang family has made a profit in this deal.
After Huang Shengyue paid homage to the mountain, many nearby Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families all came to Funiushan to congratulate Song Qingming on his successful foundation building. Later, they received a message from the Qian family, but in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the Song family did not reply to them.
Since they had promised the Huang family not to get involved in this matter, regardless of whether the other party sent people to keep an eye on Funiushan, Song Qingming would not choose to meet the Qian family cultivators at this time, otherwise if the Huang family knew about this in the future, the Song family would be in trouble.
Lu Yuanfeng finished his three things smoothly, and seeing that nothing had happened, he was naturally very happy.
He had nothing else to do next, so he directly greeted the disciples below, brought spiritual fruits and fragrant tea to entertain everyone.
