Chapter 237 Inventory of Harvest

As for why the Lingyin Sect monks suffered such heavy losses this time, many various speculations spread all over the Taiyue Lake Market. Some said that they encountered a powerful third-level monster and underestimated the enemy, which led to the result. Some said that they were besieged by the Xingchen Sect and Xiaoyao Sect disciples after snatching a precious high-level spiritual object. There were even more outrageous ones who said that they encountered a false space crack in the secret realm.

As for the truth of this matter, apart from the parties involved in several major sects, only Song Qingming knew some of the real reasons in the entire Taiyue Lake Market.

After coming out of the inner valley and parting with her that day, although Song Qingming did not see what happened later with his own eyes, now from the few words of these rumors, he also guessed that the reason why the Lingyin Sect suffered such a heavy loss this time was very likely because they targeted the Fire Phoenix later.

Of course, this was just some speculation in Song Qingming's mind. Now he actually didn't know what happened later. He couldn't even confirm whether the Fire Phoenix escaped from the hands of the Lingyin Sect and finally walked out of the secret realm.

Of course, it's not that he has no way to contact Huo Feng. When Huo Feng gave him the colorful feather, she also told him how to use it to contact her actively. It's just that there was nothing wrong for no reason, and Song Qingming really didn't dare to use it casually.

After hearing the rumors about Lingyin Sect, Song Qingming even had an idea in his mind for a moment. It would be good if Huo Feng really died in the secret realm this time. At least he wouldn't have to worry about being coerced by her in the future.

But when he thought of Huo Feng's cold eyes, Song Qingming quickly shook his head and threw this idea out of his mind. This time, the people on the trip to Taiyue Secret Realm were actually quite kind. Not only did they not use him as cannon fodder, but they also gave him a lot of good things, which was not bad for him.

It's a pity that she is a demon. As a human cultivator, Song Qingming will never be able to regard her as a backer. Otherwise, if he could hold such a thigh among the human cultivators, Song Qingming and the entire Song family would probably wake up laughing in their dreams.

Half a month later, Song Qingming hurriedly returned to Qinghe County with the Huang family. Although they were still traveling together this time, they were much more careful than when they went there. Fortunately, they returned to their respective territories safely without any accidents.

When the clan leader Song Changfeng and others saw that Song Qingming, who they had been thinking about, had finally returned safely, they all showed their long-lost smiles. They finally put down their hearts that had been hanging for the past few months. As the only foundation-building cultivator in the clan, Song Qingming's safety was always related to the future fate of the entire Song family, and they couldn't help but worry.

Especially a few years ago, the Song family had experienced a sudden disappearance of Song Qingming. At that time, the Song family was almost targeted by other immortal cultivation families and became fish on the chopping board.

The Song family has now become a foundation-building family. The status of the cultivators in the family in Qinghe County has changed dramatically compared to more than a decade ago. No one of the Song family cultivators who have experienced this would want to return to the small Qi-refining family that had to look at people's faces everywhere.

When they heard that Song Qingming was going to explore the secret realm with the Huang family, Song Changfeng and others also advised Song Qingming not to take risks.

Although this trip to the secret realm was not Song Qingming's original intention at the beginning, Song Qingming's prestige in the Song family has been getting higher and higher. The opinions of the elders, including Song Changfeng, are now difficult to influence the decision of the supreme elder.

As elders, Song Qingming still respects them on the surface. After all, their cultivation is different, and their perspectives on things are also very different. Many of them have more conservative ideas.

When a cultivator's cultivation realm is improved, many things that Qi Refining cultivators think are very important may actually be insignificant in the eyes of Foundation Building cultivators.

Having been with the Huang family for so many days, Song Qingming did not dare to reveal what he got in the secret realm. Until now, after returning to his own cave, Song Qingming had the opportunity to take out all the gains this time and count them carefully.

When he followed the Huang family, he was also given a few spiritual herbs, but compared with what he got in the inner valley later, these were nothing.

After he and Huo Feng entered the inner valley, although the higher-level spiritual objects eventually fell into her hands, Song Qingming, relying on his attitude of accepting everything, still tried his best to pick a lot of spiritual objects within a limited time.

There were more than 100 first-level spiritual objects alone, more than 30 spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits above the second level, and more than a dozen rare spiritual fruits in the market. These things added together can be exchanged for tens of thousands of spiritual stones in the market.

His own, and two of them contained things that were obviously not his, which should have come from other monks who were alone and were killed by him.

In these storage bags, Song Qingming not only got a bunch of magic tools and more than a dozen spiritual herbs, but also found more than 2,000 spiritual stones, which did not disappoint him.

In addition to these things, the two best spiritual objects Song Qingming obtained during this trip to the secret realm were the second-grade top-grade bronze bell from Taiyue Palace and the earth spirit dew that the Fire Phoenix finally gave him.

The former is a second-level top-grade defensive magic weapon, which is the best second-level magic weapon Song Qingming has seen so far. With it, Song Qingming finally made up for his lack of a suitable defensive magic weapon.

As for the spiritual object of Earth Spirit Dew, to be honest, its value is not worse than the former for Song Qingming, and it is also the spiritual object he is most satisfied with during this trip to the secret realm.

After so many years of cultivation, Song Qingming's cultivation speed has not been too fast because his spiritual root qualifications are too ordinary. He was able to successfully build a foundation before the age of fifty, which was entirely the result of the forced stacking of various elixirs.

Although elixirs, which are acquired spiritual objects, can greatly speed up the speed of one's cultivation, taking too much will also produce elixir poison and increase the drug resistance in the body of the cultivator. After Song Qingming built his foundation, he has deeply felt this and slowly controlled the number of elixirs he took.

But the innate spiritual object of Earth Spirit Dew is different. After taking it, there will be no such hidden dangers left in oneself, and the improved cultivation will be more solid than taking elixirs.

However, this kind of innate spiritual object cannot be used unlimitedly. A cultivator can only refine one bottle of the Earth Spirit Dew in his lifetime. If he refines more, it will have no effect. Otherwise, when Song Qingming knew that Huo Feng had the Earth Spirit Dew, he would have found a way to exchange it with her for a few more bottles even if it meant losing everything he had.
