Chapter 469 Five Elements Divine Light Mirror
In the meeting hall of Jinshanfang, Song Qingyu, who has been here for more than four years, is drinking tea and chatting with three other foundation-building cultivators.
Except for Zhao Chuancheng, a Xiaoyao Sect cultivator stationed in the market, the other two are casual foundation-building cultivators who have just moved into Jinshanfang not long ago.
Zhao Chuancheng has been stationed in Jinshanfang for many years. He is also quite smooth in dealing with people and likes to make friends with cultivators of the same level. These two casual cultivators are two good friends he knew before, and he was invited to help guard Jinshanfang together.
Of course, if you want others to agree to help you resist the invasion of monsters, Jinshanfang must pay a lot of money. If there is not enough interest to impress them, these casual cultivators will not come to help for no reason.
Zhao Chuancheng and Song Qingyu have similar cultivation levels. Both of them have cultivated to the late stage of foundation-building. In the past few years, they often exchange some cultivation experiences with each other in their spare time in Jinshanfang.
Just as they were talking, a Qi-refining cultivator dressed in the uniform of the Market Law Enforcement Team suddenly broke into the meeting room and reported loudly to Zhao Chuancheng in front of him: "Master, just now our three teams received news that many cultivators saw a golden light suddenly appear in the sky above the southeast of the market, but it disappeared soon after!"
"You mean the golden light appeared in the sky above the southeast corner of the market? Could it be that something happened near the market below? Have you sent someone to check it out?" After hearing the report from the visitor, Zhao Chuancheng stood up immediately with a surprised look on his face and asked in a cautious tone.
The visitor showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, shook his head and said: "Brother Wu just took us to check it out. There seems to be no abnormal situation in the market, but we haven't dared to go to the place near the cave of Patriarch Song on the mountain."
"Oh! This." Hearing the report from the disciples below, Zhao Chuancheng was also a little embarrassed and didn't know how to reply for a while.
Not only Zhao Chuancheng, but also the two foundation-building casual cultivators sitting nearby, their faces changed slightly when they heard the three words "Song Laozu" from the Qi Refining Stage disciple. Like Zhao Chuancheng, they looked at Song Qingyu sitting nearby.
Seeing that everyone present had turned their attention to him, Song Qingyu hurriedly stood up with a smile and said to the law enforcement team disciple below: "You can retreat and do other things for the time being. I will go over to take a look at the situation first."
Seeing that Song Qingyu took the initiative to take on this matter, Zhao Chuancheng's face lit up, and he bowed to Song Qingyu and said: "This is very troublesome for Brother Song. It seems that Senior Song has been in seclusion for two years. If he really came out of seclusion, please let Brother Song know in time."
"Well! Brother Zhao, don't worry, I'll remember it!" Song Qingyu and Zhao Chuancheng nodded and responded, and immediately walked out of the meeting room quickly.
A moment later, Song Qingyu's figure appeared outside a cave hidden on the top of the southeast mountain in Fangshi.
This cave is located at the highest point of Jinshanfang. Compared with the bustling market below, this area seems very quiet, and the spiritual energy around it is obviously slightly richer than other places in the market.
After Song Qingyu checked outside the cave for a while, he found that there was nothing unusual outside, so he reached out and took out a sound transmission note from the storage bag, whispered a few words and sent it into the cave.
After about a cup of tea, the formation restriction at the entrance of the cave suddenly dissipated slowly, and Song Qingming, dressed in a green Taoist robe, strode out of the cave.
Seeing Song Qingyu standing outside the cave, Song Qingming smiled and walked forward and said, "I didn't expect that when I was refining the magic weapon just now, golden light appeared outside the cave, causing such a big commotion. If I had known, I would have set up an extra ban in advance to avoid alarming you!"
"Refining the magic weapon?"
"Seventh brother, you have been in seclusion for so long this time, it turns out to be because of this, I was wondering why you haven't come out of seclusion for two years?" Song Qingyu said, showing an expression of "I see".
After a flash of spiritual light, a golden bronze mirror emitting colorful light soon appeared in Song Qingming's hand.
As Song Qingming's magic power moved, the golden bronze mirror quickly flew to the top of Song Qingming's head, and then suddenly split into five mirrors of different colors, and began to move slowly around Song Qingming.
After seeing the bronze mirror, Song Qingyu's face immediately showed a hint of surprise, and he smiled and asked Song Qingming: "Seventh Brother, is this the life magic weapon you just refined?"
Song Qingming nodded gently and said: "Yes, this Five Elements Divine Light Mirror took me several years and consumed a lot of materials and spirit stones. Today, my hard work finally paid off and I successfully refined it."
Since he switched to practicing the "Five Elements Xuan Gang Jue", Song Qingming also got the secret method of refining the life magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror". Then Song Qingming immediately began to collect materials, and now he finally refined this life magic weapon.
After the Jindan cultivator has a life magic weapon that is connected to the practice, his own strength will also be greatly improved. This is why Song Qingming is so anxious to refine this "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror".
Although the materials needed to refine the natal magic weapon are numerous, including several precious third-level spiritual objects, after Song Qingming became a guest elder of Xiaoyao Sect, he could not only enter the sect's Good Deeds Pavilion to exchange for some high-level spiritual objects, but also use the power of Xiaoyao Sect to spread news throughout Weiguo to collect the materials he needed.
With the help of the sect's power, Song Qingming collected all the materials needed to refine the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in less than two years, and spent another two years in seclusion to finally refine this natal magic weapon.
The "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" is a magic weapon with both offensive and defensive capabilities. The five-color divine light contained in it also has a trace of Xuanyang Qi, which has a slight restraining ability against those magic techniques that cultivate Yin Qi.
With this natal magic weapon, Song Qingming's overall strength has surpassed those newly advanced Jindan cultivators and fake Dan cultivators like Feng Yangde by a large margin. Now Song Qingming, who has walked out of the cave, is a little more confident than before the seclusion.
After taking the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in front of him into his body, Song Qingming asked again: "Qingyu, what is the current situation in the Floating Cloud Mountains? Have the formations outside the market that I ordered before been arranged now?"
Hearing Song Qingming's question, Song Qingyu quickly put away the smile on his face and replied softly: "According to the exploration in the past two months and some news from the sect, many monsters have gathered in the Floating Cloud Mountains. However, although there are already small groups of monsters flowing into the border, there is no large-scale movement of monsters southward.
After you retreated for half a year, Fellow Daoist Cao and his team have arranged the other two large formations. According to your instructions, our Jinshanfang has recruited many casual cultivators in the past two years. Fellow Daoist Zhao and his team also introduced two casual cultivators from Tuoyun Mountain not long ago. Now the defense force of Jinshanfang has been strengthened a lot compared to two years ago."
"Well! You all did a good job. You have worked hard in the past few years!" After hearing Song Qingyu's reply, Song Qingming nodded slightly with satisfaction.
In order to deal with the upcoming monster riots, Song Qingming has put a lot of thought into strengthening the defense of Jinshanfang since he took charge of it.
Not only did he personally go to Xiaoyao Sect to invite several formation masters to set up two more sets of second-level formations for Jinshanfang, he also found a way to rent more than a dozen second-level Feiyun crossbows from the sect and placed them around the market.
These second-level inferior Feiyun crossbows can be operated by several cultivators above the middle stage of Qi Refining. After the spirit stones are placed, the spiritual arrows fired can also have about half the power of ordinary foundation-building cultivators.
However, the disadvantages of large-scale magic tools such as Feiyun crossbows are also very obvious. Because of their huge size, it is very troublesome for ordinary Qi Refining cultivators to carry them. Generally, they can only be fixed in one place for defense, which is far less useful than the puppet beasts of the same level that can be carried flexibly.
In addition to strengthening the daily defense configuration in Jinshanfang, Song Qingming also asked Song Qingyu and others to post notices around the market to spread the news and recruit those reliable casual cultivators to enter Jinshanfang to help resist the next monster invasion.
It is extremely difficult for low-level casual cultivators in the Qi Refining Period to practice. In order to earn spirit stones, they are likely to do anything. Even though they know that Jinshanfang issued this task and recruited them to fight against the next very dangerous monster invasion, there are still many people who are trying their best to take on this task.
However, these casual cultivators are generally of low origin. Because the cultivation environment is too poor, most of them are profit-seeking people, and sometimes they do things without any moral integrity.
It is okay to rely on these people to support the scene occasionally. If they really go to a large battlefield like the monster riot, once they face the scene of hundreds of monsters attacking in groups, they will easily collapse and affect the morale of the army.
In the past, whether it was Xiaoyao Sect or the foundation-building families below, they rarely recruited casual cultivators to participate in such battles to deal with monster invasions.
Regarding this order to recruit independent cultivators, although Song Qingming has emphasized the need to strictly select people with good appearance, some people who pretend to be good have still sneaked in during this period.
These independent cultivators now live in the market for free, have no shortage of spiritual energy for cultivation, and can receive some spiritual stones every month. The treatment they receive is very generous, which has also caused jealousy and confusion among many people in Jinshanfang.
As more and more independent cultivators have come to the market during this period, the several major foundation-building families in Pingyang County and some Xiaoyao Sect disciples guarding Jinshanfang have begun to have some opinions in their hearts, but because this is an order from Song Qingming, the Jindan ancestor, they dare only talk about it in private.
