Chapter 169 Improving Spiritual Veins
A few days later, in a restaurant in Yangshanfang, Song Qingming looked at his third brother Song Qingze, who had not seen him for several years and looked much older. Although he was prepared, he did not expect that Song Qingze would change so much.
As early as a year ago, after so many years of accumulation, the third brother Song Qingze finally successfully accumulated enough merits and exchanged for a foundation-building pill in Xiaoyao Sect. Unfortunately, although his foundation-building conditions were better than those of ordinary people, he still failed in the end.
Although he was protected by the foundation-building pill and did not damage his meridians, Song Qingming did not expect that the failure of foundation-building this time would be such a big blow to his third brother Song Qingze.
Generally, a cultivator in his fifties is about the same as an ordinary mortal in his thirties, but at this moment, Song Qingze's face has added a few wrinkles, and there are many white hairs in his tied-up long hair. He is completely different from the way he looked when Song Qingming came to Xiaoyao Sect.
Now the two of them are sitting together, and outsiders look like father and son.
"Qingming, I never thought that among so many of our brothers, there would be a foundation-building cultivator like you. I am such a joke. I worked so hard to join Xiaoyao Sect, thinking that I could go further on the path of Taoism, but in the end, it was all in vain."
After Song Qingze finished speaking, he sighed again, then picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it directly.
Seeing that the third brother, who always disliked drinking with the brothers, took the initiative to pick up the wine glass today, Song Qingming also understood his current distress, but he didn't know how to comfort the brother in front of him for a moment, so he could only pick up the wine glass and drink with him.
"To be honest, I was really touched when I received the spiritual stones you sent me. I was thinking that I would go back to thank you after I established my foundation. Now that I am like this, I feel ashamed to see you."
"Third brother, you can't write two Song characters with one stroke. Don't think too much. You helped me before I established my foundation. No matter what, we are all brothers. We should support each other if we have the ability."
Third brother Song Qingze, in order to establish his foundation, he left his family and went thousands of miles away to join Xiaoyao Sect. He almost gave up everything for the sake of Taoism. It was indeed unexpected that a person with such a firm heart would fail in establishing his foundation. This also made him sigh in his heart that the path of cultivation is really ruthless.
"Look, I'm really drunk. I almost forgot to ask you what you came to Yangshanfang for this time after you, a foundation-building cultivator, listened to me talking nonsense for a long time." After the two drank half a pot of wine, Song Qingze suddenly remembered to ask Song Qingming why he came to Xiaoyao Sect this time.
Song Qingming briefly sorted out what had happened recently, and then simply recounted to Song Qingze how he had fought against the demon cultivator Yang Wuqi in Pingyang County after annihilating the demon cultivator Gu Liangshan in Longtan Mountain.
"A few days ago, I also heard that Master Chen led people to kill the demon cultivator Yang Wuqi in Pingyang County, but I didn't know you were there too. I didn't expect that you had just established your foundation and could fight against a demon cultivator like Yang Wuqi." Song Qingze was also very surprised to hear that Song Qingming participated in the battle to kill the demon cultivator Yang Wuqi.
Song Qingming shook his head and said modestly: "You think too much. Although I was present in that battle, I did not fight with Yang Wuqi. It was only Senior Chen who killed Yang Wuqi. The rest of us were just responsible for helping him deal with other reinforcements."
"Master Chen practices sword cultivation. Except for those Jindan ancestors in the sect, few people are his opponents. It is natural that he can kill Yang Wuqi, the devil. I heard that he seems to have opened up a little after coming back this time, and has begun to retreat to break through the Jindan realm."
"I didn't expect that Senior Chen is already in the Jindan realm. This sword cultivation technique is really mysterious."
Song Qingming had witnessed the battle between Chen Xuanxin and Yang Wuqi that day, and had seen the power of Chen Xuanxin's technique. To be honest, if Yang Wuqi was replaced by him, I am afraid that he might not be able to take even one move from Chen Xuanxin.
"Third brother, I'm here to ask you something. Do you have a familiar second-level formation master in the sect? It would be best if he is willing to go out."
After Song Qingze expressed some of his distress, he felt much better. Then Song Qingming spoke out the main purpose of his visit.
"Second-level formation master! Do you want to upgrade the spiritual veins on Funiu Mountain?" Hearing that Song Qingming wanted to find a second-level formation master who was willing to go out, Song Qingze quickly guessed his ultimate purpose.
Song Qingming nodded and smiled, "Indeed, there are more and more cultivators in the family now, and I have already established my foundation. The spiritual veins of Funiu Mountain are not enough. I discussed with my sixth uncle and others and decided to ask a second-level formation master to go and see if the spiritual veins of Funiu Mountain can be improved."
Because Song Qingming's term of stationing in Qinghefang will soon be up, when he returns to Funiu Mountain, the spiritual veins on the mountain will definitely not be enough. In the past six months, he has discussed several times with Song Changfeng and several elders of the Song family, and finally decided to find a way to directly improve the spiritual veins of the ancestral land Funiu Mountain.
The second-level lower-grade spiritual vein can supply three ordinary foundation-building cultivators for cultivation. As long as the Song family upgrades the original first-level upper-grade spiritual vein in Funiu Mountain to the second-level lower-grade, they will definitely not have to worry about the spiritual vein in a short period of time.
However, to upgrade a first-level spiritual vein to the second level, in addition to consuming nearly 10,000 spiritual stones, it is also necessary to ask a second-level array master to arrange a second-level spirit gathering array to upgrade the spiritual vein grade.
After more than 200 years of accumulation, the Song family has stored more than 4,000 spiritual stones in the family treasury. In addition, after Song Qingming built his foundation, the Song family's business in Qinghefang has grown bigger and bigger. In recent years, the income of Qinghefang has also increased a lot. The spiritual objects in several shops can be exchanged for 1,000 spiritual stones.
Under the leadership of the clan leader Song Changfeng, all the cultivators of the family took the initiative to donate a sum of spiritual stones for the remaining 5,000 spiritual stones. After all, upgrading the spiritual vein is a major event that will benefit the entire family. In this matter, most of the Song family cultivators still support it in their hearts. Everyone gathered together and quickly gathered half of the spiritual stones.
The remaining half of 2,500 spirit stones was borne by Song Qingming, the only foundation-building cultivator in the family.
After reaching the foundation-building stage, Song Qingming's talisman-making level has long surpassed that of the Qi-refining stage. Although he has not yet become a second-level talisman-maker, his success rate in making first-level spirit talismans has exceeded 70%, and the quality is far superior to that of ordinary first-level talisman-makers. The speed of earning spirit stones is naturally much faster than that of the Qi-refining stage. After several years of hard work in making talismans, Song Qingming has saved more than 3,000 spirit stones. It is naturally not a problem to take out this amount of spirit stones for upgrading spirit veins.
Everyone, go to bed early
