Chapter 208 Meeting an Old Friend Again

After a walk outside, when Song Qingming returned to Funiu Mountain, the beautiful morning light had appeared on the snow-white horizon.

Looking at the mortals of the Song family who had lived and multiplied for hundreds of years near the family's sacred mountain, Song Qingming felt that sometimes he was not as free and easy as an ordinary mortal.

At first, he thought that as long as his cultivation level improved a little and he had some self-protection power in the world of immortal cultivation, he would have nothing to worry about.

Now he slowly discovered that with the improvement of his cultivation level, his needs would also become greater and greater. In order to successfully improve his cultivation level, he often needed to take some risks.

Many times, you can't predict these dangers in advance, just like when he went to the Floating Cloud Mountains with the Huang family, although he guessed that there would be some trouble at the time, he would never have thought that they would actually provoke the Golden Core-level demon king on this trip, and he was also targeted by a big figure of the demon clan like Huo Feng.

More than ten days ago, when Huang Shengyue came to Funiu Mountain to invite Song Qingming to the Taihu Secret Realm, Song Qingming had made up his mind not to go to such a dangerous place and wade into this muddy water.

The reason why he did not refuse in person at that time was also because he considered the relationship between the Huang family and the Song family. It was really difficult for him to refute Huang Shengyue in person.

After experiencing the feeling of life and death being controlled by others at any time in the Floating Cloud Mountains, Song Qingming was really scared. After returning, he wanted to live a peaceful life for a few years. He would not go to such a dangerous place casually unless it was absolutely necessary.

However, God did not fulfill people's wishes. After Song Qingming came back from Xiaoyao Sect, he was about to write a letter to the Huang family to tactfully refuse this matter. The arrival of the Fire Phoenix tied him to this matter completely.

After just five years of peace of mind, Song Qingming had to worry about his head again. He really had a hard time.

Yesterday, Song Qingming arrived at Huang Family Taiyuan Mountain. When he first saw Huang Shengyue, he pretended not to want to go. It was not until Huang Shengyue persuaded him again that he finally agreed to it.

Then Song Qingming asked Huang Shengyue again about the news about the Taiyue Lake Secret Realm in detail, so as to prepare for his next move.

After all, the Huang family has been a foundation-building family for nearly a thousand years. They have entered the secret realm many times before and after, and rarely make mistakes. They have a very good understanding of it.

From Huang Shengyue's description, the Taiyue Lake Secret Realm is a huge valley, divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts.

Generally, family cultivators like the Huang family search for spiritual objects in the outer valley. The rare treasures that Huang Shengyue mentioned at the beginning can be found in the outer valley as long as they are lucky.

As for the inner valley, no one in the Huang family has entered it for so many years, so naturally they don’t know what rare spiritual objects are there.

According to what Huang Shengyue told him, only Xiaoyao Sect and several other large sects nearby have a fixed way to enter the inner valley.

When they enter, they just need to stay in the outer valley. If they accidentally enter the inner valley and encounter those monks from large sects, even a master of the foundation-building stage like Huang Shengxin will find it difficult to survive.

After all, this secret realm is only opened once every few decades. Every time at this time, large sects like Xiaoyao Sect will send many masters of the foundation-building stage to enter. If you accidentally offend them, even if you are a ninth-level foundation-building cultivator, it will be difficult to survive.

After returning to Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming quickly locked himself in the cave. Fortunately, there were still a few months before the Taiyue Lake Secret Realm, and he still had time to prepare for himself in advance.

A few months later, in the Taiyue Lake market, a man in green was sitting by the second-floor window of a restaurant, looking down at the people coming and going below.

"In recent days, there have been many unfamiliar foundation-building cultivators in the market. It seems that the time for the secret realm to open will soon come."

The man in green picked up a cup of spiritual tea and was about to put it in his mouth, but he didn't expect that a beautiful red figure suddenly appeared on the empty seat next to his table.

"Fellow Daoist Song, I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect to meet you here. You came here at this time. Are you also coming for the secret realm?"

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I am polite. I have come to Guyang Mountain many times in the past few years to find you, but I didn't succeed. It turns out that you are here."

Song Qingming looked at the familiar red figure with a very surprised face. He didn't expect that Xu Ziyan, whom he had deliberately looked for several times but couldn't see, would appear in front of him like this.

"Daoyou, you misunderstood. I have been on the mission of the sect for many years and have rarely returned to Guyang Mountain. It is normal that I missed you. I just came here not long ago according to the arrangement of the sect."

"I see. Speaking of which, I have really had bad luck in the past few years. I have never met Daoyou." Song Qingming nodded in sudden realization.

Xu Ziyan smiled and blinked and said softly: "Daoyou Song has only been building his foundation for more than ten years, and he has already cultivated to the third level of foundation building. How can he be a person with bad luck? You are too modest."

"That being said, compared to Fellow Daoist Xu, my cultivation is barely acceptable. To be honest, I was able to build my foundation thanks to you. I have been wanting to repay you for all these years, but I have never had the chance. If Fellow Daoist Xu needs anything in the future, I hope you can remember me. As long as it is within my ability, I will not refuse." After saying that, Song Qingming bowed his head and saluted towards Xu Ziyan again.

"Fellow Daoist Song, you are too polite. We are all cultivators. It is normal for us to support each other. Fellow Daoist and I have known each other for many years since the Qi Refining Stage. Why should we be so polite?" Xu Ziyan smiled and waved to Song Qingming, and then asked, "Fellow Daoist Song, are you here alone this time?"

"My cultivation is low, how dare I come here alone to join in the fun? I came here with the Huang family of Taiyuan Mountain this time, but I came early. I was bored these days, so I came out alone. I didn't expect that I was destined to meet Fellow Daoist Xu. You are here today, and all the cultivators of Xiaoyao Sect should have arrived. I wonder if the time for the secret realm to open is coming soon."

Song Qingming knew that Xu Ziyan was trying to find out the details of his situation this time, but he came here under the guise of the Huang family, and was not afraid that such things would spread, so he generously revealed all the cultivators of the Huang family.

His main purpose of coming here this time was not for any rare spiritual objects. Once he entered the secret realm, as long as he could cooperate with the Fire Phoenix and save his life, he would be successful.

As for Xu Ziyan's appearance here, she did not answer. Song Qingming knew in his heart that she came here on behalf of Xiaoyao Sect. Although Xu Ziyan's cultivation was only the fourth level of foundation building, as a foundation building cultivator who had not used foundation building pills, her strength would definitely exceed that of cultivators of the same level. Song Qingming would not be surprised at all that she would appear in the team of Xiaoyao Sect.

There were many foundation building cultivators who came to the secret realm of Taiyue Lake this time. Those with cultivation like Song Qingming were generally not alone, but more or less organized. They had low cultivation levels and could only use this method to keep warm together to survive more easily.
