Chapter 468: Sitting in Jinshanfang
Hearing the news that Song Qingming came to Jinshanfang, the major foundation-building families in Pingyang County were also somewhat surprised. Most of them had just participated in the celebration held by the Song family and had only been back to their respective homes for a few days. They did not expect Song Qingming to come to Jinshanfang so soon.
Many foundation-building cultivators who were sitting at a disadvantage were also somewhat surprised to hear that Song Qingming came this time to invite them to discuss how to deal with the upcoming monster riots.
According to past experience, everyone would wait until the news of the monster riots reached Weiguo before gathering in Jinshanfang to discuss countermeasures. Now there is no news of a large number of monsters gathering in the Fuyun Mountains, so it should be at least a few years away.
After hearing Song Qingming's intention, Cao Rongxue, as the representative of the Cao family, the leader of all the foundation-building families in Pingyang County, immediately stood up and bowed, saying: "Senior Song, it is a blessing for all the cultivators in Pingyang County to come to Jinshanfang to discuss this matter with us.
The sect has issued an edict that all cultivators in Pingyang County will obey your orders. If you have any instructions or arrangements, just tell us. We will do our best to help you protect Jinshanfang."
"We will obey your orders!"
After seeing the Cao family's statement, the other families also stood up and expressed their loyalty in unison. Even the several foundation-building disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect present also quickly followed suit and bowed their hands to express their attitude.
After Chu Fengping said those words in Funiushan a few days ago, the major families and disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect in Pingyang County soon received the sect's edict. All the immortal cultivation families and disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect in Pingyang and Qinghe counties must obey the orders of Song Qingming, the guest elder of the Xiaoyao Sect in the future.
All of them were foundation-building cultivators who had practiced in Weiguo for many years, and they naturally knew what would happen to them if they disobeyed the Xiaoyao Sect's edict.
Now that Song Qingming had successfully formed his elixir and had the edict issued by the Xiaoyao Sect in his hand, all the cultivators present naturally did not dare to pay any attention to his next words. Song Qingming's words of discussing with them were just normal courtesy to save their face.
Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, Song Qingming smiled and stood up and said, "Okay! Since I have already served as a guest elder of the sect, I will also take on the important tasks entrusted by the sect.
From today until the end of the monster turmoil, I will stay in Jinshanfang and advance and retreat together with you. I believe that as long as you can work together, we will definitely be able to safely survive this crisis this time."
Zhao Chuancheng, a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect stationed in Jinshanfang, heard that Song Qingming was going to stay in Jinshanfang, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Uncle Song attaches so much importance to our Jinshanfang and is determined to advance and retreat with us. It is really a blessing for our generation. In the future, I will report all matters in the market to Uncle Master in a timely manner!"
Song Qingming nodded slightly and continued, "During the last monster turmoil, Jinshanfang was not well prepared due to insufficient preparation. The monsters accidentally broke through, so that half of Pingyang County fell into the mouths of monsters.
Although the monster turmoil has not yet arrived, we must learn from the lessons of the past, use this period of time to prepare for war, strengthen the defense of Jinshanfang, and try to stop the monsters at the front line of the market. We can no longer let the monsters easily cross the market and enter Pingyang County, causing countless lives to be destroyed. "
"What Senior Song said is right. In the monster turmoil a hundred years ago, almost half of the cultivators and mortals in Pingyang County were lost, and we have just recovered our vitality now. If the monsters are allowed to cross the market again, causing the tragedy a hundred years ago, I am afraid that we will not even have the strength to defend Jinshanfang in the future. "Hearing Song Qingming mention the tragic scene of Pingyang County a hundred years ago, Cao Rongxue on the side couldn't help but remind everyone present with a serious face.
Whether it is the Xiaoyao Sect disciples stationed here or the foundation-building families in Pingyang County, the impact of this monster turmoil is closely related to everyone. Song Qingming only needs to remind everyone of this, and everyone will immediately understand it.
"Don't worry, everyone. From now on, I will report to the sect and give appropriate rewards to those who obey orders wholeheartedly. But I still have to say ugly words in advance. If I find anyone who dares to be sneaky and disobey orders, don't blame me for being ruthless.
The matter of protecting Jinshanfang is not only a matter of our Pingyang County, but also related to the sect's plan to fight against the monster turmoil on all fronts. I hope you can understand the importance of it."
"Please rest assured, senior, we understand!" Hearing Song Qingming's words of kindness and power, many cultivators present quickly understood his meaning and responded in succession.
After Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan arrived at Jinshanfang, they soon moved into a cave full of spiritual energy under the arrangement of Zhao Chuancheng.
Jinshanfang's spiritual veins are already of the second-grade upper grade, which is slightly better than the two second-grade upper-grade spiritual veins of Taiyuan Mountain and Qinghefang of the Huang family in Qinghe County.
For a Jindan-stage cultivator to practice normally, he must have a spiritual vein of level 3 or above to have sufficient spiritual energy. However, there are no spiritual veins of level 3 or above in Pingyang County and Qinghe County controlled by the Song family. The best spiritual vein is the second-grade upper-grade spiritual vein like Jinshanfang.
After Song Qingming settled in Jinshanfang, because the spiritual energy in the market was still slightly insufficient, Song Qingming needed to consume hundreds of spiritual stones every year to be enough for his daily practice, which was also a considerable expense.
Fortunately, the Song family has now been promoted to the Jindan Immortal Clan. Many foundation-building families in Pingyang and Qinghe counties have now become vassals of the Song family. Naturally, they still have to offer some spiritual stones or spiritual objects to the Song family every year. These are enough for Song Qingming to consume spiritual stones for daily cultivation.
Half a month later, Song Qingyu also brought more than 20 Song family disciples he selected to Jinshanfang. In addition to these people, Song Qingyu also brought Song Yuanfang, who was about to prepare for foundation building.
After receiving the foundation-building pill specially sent by Xiaoyao Sect, Song Qingming, Song Qingyu and many other elders of the Song family discussed after the Jindan family celebration, and finally decided to give this foundation-building pill to Song Yuanfang, who has performed well in all aspects among the younger generations of the family in recent years.
Song Yuanfang is the sixteenth in the Yuan generation of the Song family. He is actually two years older than Song Yuanli and is now fifty-six years old. Song Yuanfang's talent of three spiritual roots is average in cultivation speed, which is much worse than Song Yuanli's of two spiritual roots. When Song Yuanli successfully built his foundation more than ten years ago, his cultivation level had just reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Although his cultivation talent is not as good as that of his peer Song Yuanli, Song Yuanfang is more active in his mind and has a good relationship with most of the clan members. After being favored by Qingming, a clan member more than ten years ago, Song Yuanfang's status in the Song family has risen rapidly. Not long ago, he officially replaced the retired Song Qingsi and became the family's general affairs elder.
This time, when selecting the foundation-building candidates, although there are several other cultivators of the same generation who have also cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining, there are obviously more family elders who support Song Yuanfang than others. In the end, as expected, Song Yuanfang got the foundation-building pill.
Song Yuanfang has been practicing to the ninth level of Qi Refining for many years, and his foundation has been very solid. In order to make Song Yuanfang more confident in building his foundation, Song Qingming thought about it and asked Song Qingyu to take him directly to Jinshanfang to build his foundation.
First, he could give him some advice in person. Second, the spiritual energy in Jinshanfang is more abundant than that in the Song family's Funiu Mountain. The chance of a cultivator's breakthrough in a place with more abundant spiritual energy will be slightly higher.
After some guidance from Song Qingming, Song Qingyu and others, Song Yuanfang lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully built his foundation a year later, becoming the fourth foundation-building cultivator of the Song family.
Seeing Song Yuanfang's success in building his foundation, Song Qingming was naturally very happy. Now that the monster turmoil is coming, the family can have one more foundation-building cultivator at this time, which can be said to be a timely help.
In addition to Song Yuanfang's successful foundation building, Huang Siyuan also successfully broke through the late stage of foundation building after arriving at Jinshanfang, and his cultivation level further reached the seventh level of foundation building.
——
Four years later, deep in the Floating Cloud Mountains, a fiery red fire phoenix was standing on a mountain peak outside its cave, looking alone at the distant north, with a sad look on its face.
After a while, a white shield light flew quickly and landed beside the fire phoenix, turning into a green bat with wings on its back.
"Your Highness! Recently, many northern frontier monsters have appeared nearby, and it is not safe anymore. Feng Yi, under the order of His Highness the Monster King, asks you to go to Jiyun Mountain for shelter. Everything has been arranged there!"
"Okay! I know, you go back and report first. When Longfeng and the others are ready, I will take them there immediately!"
After seeing the fire phoenix nod slightly, the green bat quickly turned into a white light and quickly disappeared from the spot.
After a while, the two demon kings, Long Feng and Qing Luan, flew out from the cave below and came to the side of the Fire Phoenix.
"Your Highness! We live well here, why do we have to move again? When the demons and humans fought last time, we hid here and it was fine, right?"
Hearing Qingluan's complaints, Huofeng glanced at her sharply and said softly: "The situation is a little different this time. There are many demon beasts coming from the north, and there are many demon kings among them. It will be a little unsafe for us to stay here.
You should not complain all the time. After completing that big thing, we can leave here. Before that, we should be more obedient and not cause trouble for Uncle Jinyu and others!"
Longfeng, who was standing next to Huofeng, also said immediately: "I also went to the north to explore recently. There are indeed many demon beasts coming. The scale of this war is probably larger than before. Let's listen to your Highness's arrangements and leave here as soon as possible!"
After saying a few words, Huofeng, Longfeng and Qingluan quickly turned into three shield lights of different colors and disappeared on the spot.
