Chapter 41 Uncle Nine Leaves the Mountain

Song Qingming spent most of his time in the past few months managing Lingyuan Mountain. He even went to Caolu Mountain, which he used to go to every month, only once in the past three months.

Uncle Song Changxin saw that Song Qingming had become very familiar with managing mortals and mines in the past few years, so he simply handed over all the affairs of settling mortals to him.

Song Qingming was so concerned about these things during this period because he knew that he would soon be in Lingyuan Mountain for three years. He wanted to handle all the affairs here as smoothly as possible before leaving, so that it would be convenient to hand over to the new resident family monks.

Unexpectedly, Song Qingming was almost ready. Uncle Song Changxin invited him into the house and told him an unexpected news.

After these years of development, the population of Mujiao Town has been growing every year. The family has now accepted thousands of mortals from the Liu family, so they can only build several new villages next to Mujiao Town. Now the mortals of the family are managed by the fifth aunt Song Changling alone, who is really too busy. After discussing with the clan leader, the fourth elder decided to transfer Song Changxin to help her first.

In this way, only Song Qingming was left on Lingyuan Mountain. Song Changxin also knew that Song Qingming's garrison period was about to expire, so he asked him to discuss it.

"Qingming, I just received a message from the fourth elder, asking me to return to Funiushan Mountain to help Changling manage the mortals under the family's rule. Now the family is short of manpower, and you are already familiar with the situation in Lingyuan Mountain. The fourth elder and I have discussed it, why not let you stay here to practice temporarily, and when I am done with my work, I will come back to replace you, what do you think?"

Song Changxin was a little embarrassed when he spoke. Although what he said today was all arranged by the family, he was still a little afraid that Song Qingming would directly refuse. After all, as a cultivator choosing a place to practice, Funiushan's spiritual veins must be better. Staying in Lingyuan Mountain will more or less delay the progress of practice.

Song Qingming was also a little surprised to hear this news, but he didn't think too much. Although it would be better to return to Funiushan's spiritual veins for practice, he didn't lack this practice speed now. On the contrary, Lingyuan Mountain is more hidden, which is conducive to hiding these spiritual objects on his body that cannot be seen by others.

He didn't dare to let others know about the fragmentary map on his body, the things in Liu Tianlong's storage bag, and the Yuxuan Sutra that he got inexplicably.

When he thought that the Liu family was exterminated just because of a water spirit fruit, the value of this fragmentary map on his body was far more than that. If he could use it well, he might have a glimmer of hope for building a foundation in the future. Once those high-level cultivators knew about it, the Song family would definitely follow the footsteps of the Liu family, and the end might be even worse.

As for the Yuxuan Sutra, since Song Qingming practiced this technique, he felt more and more that the mystery of this technique was far from as simple as he thought at the beginning. Since practicing the Yuxuan Sutra, Song Qingming slowly felt that his mana was much stronger than before. This technique seemed to have the mysterious effect of forging the spiritual energy in the body.

The martial arts that can have such an effect are naturally not comparable to the Kunyuan Jue that Song Qingming originally practiced. Kunyuan Jue is just an ordinary Qi-refining five-element martial arts. It is often easy to fall behind when facing cultivators of the same level, and can only rely on external objects such as magic tools and talismans to make up for its own strength.

After practicing the Yuxuan Sutra for more than three months, Song Qingming has already clearly felt that the spiritual power he now releases has improved a lot compared to before. After practicing the Yuxuan Sutra for such a long time, his magic power must be much stronger than that of cultivators who practice ordinary martial arts. If he is lucky enough to unlock the martial arts above the foundation building, he may have even greater magical powers.

This also made him feel more and more the extraordinaryness of this martial arts. Fortunately, he has not had time to copy this martial arts to the family, and no one else in the family knows that he has practiced this martial arts, otherwise it would be difficult for him to hide it.

Now he is practicing the Yuxuan Sutra and Kunyuan Jue at the same time. In front of others, ordinary Qi-refining cultivators will definitely not be able to see the difference in his cultivation method. Even his uncle Song Changxin, who is in the late stage of Qi-refining, has not felt that he has practiced other cultivation methods recently.

Thinking of this, Song Qingming hesitated for a moment and agreed. Even if there was no such reason, facing Song Changxin who has taken good care of him in the past few years, Song Qingming really couldn't refuse.

Seeing that Song Qingming did not refuse, Song Changxin also put his heart at ease and nodded with satisfaction. Among the young cultivators of the Qing generation in the family, except for Song Qingze, a genius with excellent spiritual roots, the others' cultivation is not high. Song Qingming can cultivate to the fifth level of Qi-refining at the age of 23. Although there are some opportunities, he is already a diligent person.

"Don't worry, I will talk to the Fourth Elder when I go back this time and give you some more spirit stones. Try not to delay your cultivation. When I'm not around, you have to take good care of Lingyuan Mountain and the black iron ore veins."

Song Changxin, a hard-working cultivator, prefers diligent younger generations at home and has always been very caring about Song Qingming's cultivation path.

"Uncle Jiu, Lingyuan Mountain will leave me alone for the time being. Qingming's cultivation is still low, and I'm afraid it's a bit beyond my ability." Song Qingming nodded, hesitated for a while, and slowly told what he was worried about.

Song Changxin smiled slightly, took out a red talisman from his storage bag and handed it to Song Qingming, saying solemnly:

"This is a top-grade communication talisman, keep it well. If you encounter a high-level monster attack, you can release this talisman. The family will receive the news within an hour and send people to support. This talisman is not easy to come by in the family. Don't use it easily unless it is necessary. In a few days, the fourth elder should arrange someone to help you, so there should be no problem on your side."

"Since Uncle Jiu has arranged it properly, nephew will naturally fulfill his mission." Song Qingming nodded and agreed, and the worry on his face disappeared.

He has been operating the mountain protection formation of Lingyuan Mountain for several years. As long as he does not encounter those difficult high-level monsters, he has absolute confidence that nothing will go wrong.

Even if a high-level monster attacks, using the communication talisman that Song Changxin just gave him, he can wait for the family reinforcements as long as he can hold on for an hour, which is not too difficult for him now.

After Song Changxin gave him some instructions that day, he went back to pack his luggage and left Lingyuan Mountain under the setting sun. He was a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, so his speed was naturally much faster than Song Qingming, and he could easily return to Funiu Mountain before dark.

After Song Qingming waited alone for a few days, he finally welcomed the family cultivator who helped him guard, his sixth brother Song Qinghe.

Song Qinghe was two years older than Song Qingming, and his talent was worse than Song Qingming. He was a cultivator with five spiritual roots. Although he practiced hard, his cultivation was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Song Qinghe had a rather dull personality. In addition to practicing in seclusion, he helped in the family spiritual field. He was a spiritual plant master, and he might be more interested in flowers and plants than people. Although Song Qingming didn't talk much with this sixth brother in the past, he knew that he had a more honest personality.

Seeing that Song Qingming's cultivation had surpassed his, Song Qinghe was somewhat envious of the opportunity of his seventh brother. Although he had poor spiritual talent and no great ambition, he had not given up on his own path. Seeing that someone around him had obtained an opportunity, he naturally looked forward to the day when he could also be blessed by heaven.

However, opportunities are something that are hard to obtain by hiding at home and practicing hard. Song Qingming was able to be blessed by heaven only after experiencing many life-threatening situations.

After Song Qinghe arrived at Lingyuan Mountain, Song Qingming arranged him to the mine, responsible for inspecting and supervising the mining of the mineral veins. He himself went to the Crescent Lake to build a small house again, responsible for guarding the Lingyuan Mountain formation and managing the mundane affairs here, and guiding the martial artists in their skills.
