Chapter 163 Dao Heart

Song Qingming was a little surprised when he heard Huang Siyuan talking to herself. In the past, every word Huang Siyuan said to him seemed to be centered around her own interests. For example, the delicious spiritual food she often sent to Song Qingming was actually for the opportunity to get some guidance from Song Qingming on her cultivation. Except for some necessary words, she almost never said a superfluous word in front of Song Qingming.

After more than four years of contact between the two, Song Qingming also got to know Huang Siyuan a little bit. She gave Song Qingming the feeling that she was a person who seemed to be very calm about everything on the surface, but was extremely closed in her heart.

When Huang Siyuan was a child, she was born in a large cultivation family like the Huang family, and her parents were both cultivators. She had always lived a very good life. Not only did she not lack the resources needed for cultivation since she was a child, but her parents also personally guided her cultivation. With her spiritual root talent, she would definitely be the focus of the Huang family's cultivation in the future, and there was some hope that she could build a foundation as she wished. Just based on her origin, she is far from Song Qingming, a cultivator from a small family with poor spiritual root aptitude.

Huang Siyuan's mother was originally a cultivator of Minghe Sect in Zheng State. Many years ago, there was an internal struggle between the two major sects in Zheng State, and many cultivators fled to neighboring countries for refuge. Huang Siyuan's mother was one of them. When her mother came to Wei State, she was helpless and accidentally met Huang Siyuan's father in Qinghefang. The two fell in love and got together.

After giving birth to Huang Siyuan, their family lived a stable life for more than ten years under the protection of the Huang family, but then a major event happened, which made a big turn in Huang Siyuan's fate.

Many years ago, Huang Siyuan's mother went to Qinghefang alone. She suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons. There has been no news for these years, and no one knows where she went. After this incident, many cultivators of the Huang family searched Qinghefang, but found no trace. They all suspected that her mother had abandoned her and her father and left the Huang family. In addition, Huang Siyuan's father's status in the Huang family was not high, and his character was a bit cowardly. Soon, she was not well received in the Huang family.

After Huang Siyuan cultivated to the fourth level of Qi Refining, she knew that she had been sidelined and could not get too many cultivation resources from the family. She did not choose to continue to cultivate in the mountains. She took the initiative to go down the mountain to Qinghefang to help manage the Huang family's industry and began to cultivate on her own.

Over the years, she has been helping the Huang family run the restaurant in Huixianlou, Qinghefang, and she has also learned a good skill of spiritual cooking. A few years ago, there happened to be a riot of monsters, and Qinghefang had many more cultivators, and the business of Huixianlou was getting better and better. In addition, Huang Siyuan did a good job, and the Huang family made more money, so they would naturally give her more. This also allowed her to save a lot of spiritual stones over the years. If nothing unexpected happens, she will have the opportunity to practice to the ninth level of Qi Refining in Huixianlou quickly and fight for that chance of foundation building.

It’s a pity that before she could settle down for long, someone in the family began to envy her position as the manager of Huixianlou. When they knew that the family was going to choose someone to marry the Song family, her conditions just met the requirements of the two ancestors of the Huang family, so she was naturally selected by many elders in the family, and took this opportunity to kick her out of Huixianlou, causing Huang Siyuan to lose this stable source of income from earning spiritual stones.

After several changes, Huang Siyuan seemed to go with the flow like most low-level cultivators, and calmly accepted everything she had lost. However, from the fact that she secretly used spiritual food to please him and guide her cultivation over the years, Song Qingming saw Huang Siyuan's determination hidden deep in her heart, eager to change her destiny by improving her strength.

Marrying into the Song family and becoming the Taoist partner of Song Qingming, a foundation-building cultivator, seems to be a very glorious thing on the surface, but unlike others, Huang Siyuan is a tool for the marriage between the Huang and Song families. Everyone in the two families knows this. The Huang family wants to use her to win over and monitor the Song family, so the Song family will naturally be on guard against her and will not treat her as their own in the short term.

If the Song family is still the previous Qi-refining family, it would be fine. As a cultivator of the Huang family, Huang Siyuan, relying on the power of her mother's family, the entire Song family naturally dare not look down on her. As long as the Huang family does not fall, she can definitely live a stable life in this life.

But what is different now is that the Song family is a foundation-building family. As Song Qingming's cultivation level gradually improves, the Song family may compete with the Huang family in the future and compete for the cultivation resources in Qinghe County. Moreover, the Huang family forced this marriage when Song Qingming had just built his foundation and the Song family was weak. Once the relationship between the two families changes badly in the future, Huang Siyuan, the tool of the marriage, will naturally be the first to be sacrificed.

From the beginning, Huang Siyuan was selected as the person for the Huang family's marriage. In fact, she had long been clear about her position in the Song family and did not take the initiative to contact the people of the Song family. Over the years, although the second sister Song Qingwan and other Song family cultivators in Qinghefang were very polite to her on the surface, they were still very wary of her in secret. Only Song Qingyu, who was spoiled by these elder brothers and elders in the family, showed her a trace of sincere friendship.

The reason why she was able to open the Xianfeng Building later was actually because Song Qingming saw that she stayed near his cave all day long and was afraid that she would know too many secrets about him after a long time, so he deliberately asked Song Qingwan to find something for her to do, but she probably didn't know it yet.

At this moment on the top of the mountain, Song Qingming suddenly felt from Huang Siyuan's words that she had always hidden a trace of the Dao heart that she had long yearned for the great way of cultivating immortals in her heart. This also touched Song Qingming's heart and he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say for a while after opening his mouth.

Although he had successfully built the foundation, this was only a small step in the great way of cultivating immortals. He himself didn't know how far he could go in the future and how long he could see the beautiful scenery of the world. In comparison, Huang Siyuan's Dao heart was more determined than his.

Just when the two of them suddenly fell into silence, a big red bird suddenly flew from the sky and landed on the bluestone beside them.

"It's not early, why don't we go back early? Now that you have the Immortal Wind Jade, it will be very convenient for you to come here in the future." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he put the Sky Fire Peng beside him directly into a light spirit beast bag, and then handed the spirit beast bag to Huang Siyuan.

Huang Siyuan didn't say much after hearing what Song Qingming said. After nodding, she took the Sky Fire Peng from his hand.

Because the flying speed of the spirit object, the Immortal Wind Jade, is far inferior to that of the foundation-building cultivator flying with a sword, Song Qingming simply used his second-level flying sword to carry Huang Siyuan back to Qinghefang.

As soon as the two came back, they saw that a disciple of Lu Yuanfeng was already waiting outside Song Qingming's cave. Seeing Song Qingming coming back, this person hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Greetings, Senior Song, Uncle Chen and the others have arrived and are in the meeting room. My master asks you to go there as well."

Song Qingming nodded and said, "You go back and report first. I'll be here soon."
