Chapter 642: Half-Year Agreement, Succession to the Head
Feng He's cultivation has now reached the ninth level of the Golden Core. The next step is to prepare for his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul.
Different from seclusion and elixir formation, monks in the Golden elixir realm are much more noisy when they break through to the Nascent Soul realm, and they will also directly invite the heaven to rain down the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation.
If there is no complete preparation, once someone is influenced in the process of resisting the thunder tribulation, or if one's enemies are brought in to block the way, the monk who has overcome the tribulation will most likely be directly buried under the thunder tribulation.
Therefore, in order to successfully survive the thunder tribulation, every Jindan monk needs to find a safe place for himself to retreat before breaking through the Nascent Soul, or ask some powerful high-level monks to protect him before he dares to go all out. To attack the Nascent Soul realm.
At this time, Feng He proposed to himself that he wanted to go to Donghuang Kingdom, but it was not difficult for Song Qingming to guess his purpose.
Unlike Bai Yuxian, who can choose to retreat in his own sect because of the care of Yuanying monks, Feng He has now cultivated to the ninth level of the Golden Core, but he is just a casual cultivator with little to rely on.
Moreover, Fenghe had his body destroyed back then, and he had been hiding and keeping a low profile for so many years after taking his body. There should be enemies near the Fuyun Mountains.
Although so many years have passed, Song Qingming has never heard Feng He talk about the past when he was killed. But for someone who has the ability to destroy the physical body of a Nascent Soul monk, Song Qingming knows without thinking that the opponent is most likely also powerful. Yuanying old monster.
Under this situation, if Fenghe chooses to break through Nascent Soul on the Fuyun Mountains, the risk will definitely be very high. Therefore, for him, going to the East China Sea to cultivate immortality or the further Donghuang Kingdom to retreat to break through to the Nascent Soul realm is a safer and better strategy.
Seeing that Song Qingming had already guessed his intentions, Feng He, who had already thought about a showdown with him, had no intention of hiding it from him. He nodded directly and replied: "You should have known for a long time that I still have some powerful enemies here. .
It will take at least ten or twenty years of retreat to break through the realm of Nascent Soul. I can't find a place to retreat here that can completely reassure me, so I can only go outside to find a place to form a Nascent Soul.
Don't worry, I've already found a place where I can retreat safely, but I still need someone I can trust to help take care of me while I'm in retreat. "
"I am extremely honored to have the trust of Senior Feng He. However, Senior also knows that I have a low cultivation level. I am afraid that it is beyond my ability to protect Senior by myself."
Hearing this, Feng He shook his head slightly and said: "I didn't ask you to help me protect the law. I just asked you to go to Donghuang Kingdom with me so that you can help me do some things and take care of me after I retreat. Just fine.
As for breaking through the Nascent Soul and transcending the tribulation, don't worry, I will make other arrangements, so you don't need to worry about this. "
Seeing that Feng He was already prepared and there was no need for him to protect him from the calamity, Song Qingming slowly felt relieved. After thinking for a moment, he directly agreed to the other party.
"Since the seniors have already made arrangements, the juniors will do their best."
"However, the journey to Donghuang Kingdom is far away. I'm afraid it will take a long time to get back. I have to arrange my family affairs first before I can go with senior. I hope senior Fenghe can understand."
Seeing that Song Qingming did not refuse the matter, Feng He said happily: "This is natural, this matter is not urgent, I also need to make more preparations, and I am just here to say hello to you first. That’s all.
If you don't have any objections, let's agree to leave in half a year. With so much time, you should be able to deal with the trivial matters around you! "
"Then as the senior said, we will set off again in half a year, and it's settled."
After hearing Feng He's proposal, Song Qingming didn't hesitate too much this time and immediately agreed.
After discussing the matter with Song Qingming, Feng He felt a flash of light in his hand and an extra jade box appeared and placed it on the table next to Song Qingming.
"Since you have agreed to follow me to Donghuang Kingdom, I can't take advantage of you in vain. I just got this piece of Chijing Jade not long ago, and it's not of much use to me, so I'll give it to you first. Let’s get rewarded!
If I can successfully break through Nascent Soul this time, when I get my revenge in the future, I will definitely return the favor to you as long as I have the opportunity to help you. "
Seeing the "Chi Jing Jade" in the jade box on the table, Song Qingming was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the "Chi Jing Jade" that Feng He asked Song Yuanli to write a letter to lure him out would actually be in his body. material.
Although Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan have both successfully formed the elixir, no one in the Song family is in urgent need of this item to reach the golden elixir realm.
However, "Chi Jing Jade", a five-element spiritual object that can assist in forming elixirs, can be stored for a long time. Among the family's current foundation-building monks, there are still many who hope to reach the realm of golden elixirs, and they will be able to use them sooner or later. Worthy of this thing.
Just when Song Qingming was about to put away the jade box in front of him with a happy expression, a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in his heart. He turned to look at Feng He aside and asked cautiously: "Senior! Dare you ask about this?" , where did you get it?”
Hearing Song Qingming's inquiry, Feng He smiled lightly and replied to Song Qingming: "Why! Do you think I stole this thing from your mine?"
Don’t you think that “Red Jade” is usually buried deep in the core of underground mines? You still want to find this kind of thing in that mine that has not been excavated for decades. You really think you have great luck and can find opportunities everywhere! "
"Haha! Senior, you misunderstood. I just asked casually and I definitely don’t have this idea. "Seeing Feng He's unhappy face, Song Qingming quickly explained.
Although Song Qingming only had a little doubt in his heart, the "Yinfengling" mine was still related to Xiaoyao Sect. If it was something really dug out from the mine, Song Qingming had to be careful about it.
He took the risk of offending Feng He and asked directly.
After seeing Song Qingming's slightly nervous explanation, Feng He, who took a sip of spiritual tea, had a slightly changed expression on his face, and replied to him with a chuckle:
"I got this thing from the Qin State in the west a few years ago. Don't worry about how it came from. Anyway, it has nothing to do with your Song family. Now you should be relieved. "
After saying this, Feng He ignored Song Qingming and stood up and walked to the wooden table with several semi-finished puppet beasts on the side, and began to admire the things he left behind.
Seeing that the "Red Jade" in his hand had nothing to do with the Yinfengling mine, Song Qingming breathed a sigh of relief and put it away with a happy smile.
"Okay! I came to you mainly for this matter this time. I have said almost everything you should have said just now. If you have nothing to do here, then let's stop here today!"
"Senior Feng He, are you leaving now? Don't you want to stay here for a few more days?"
"When did I say I was leaving soon? I just asked you to take care of Liufengtang back then. You shouldn't have the surname Song yet!" Hearing what Song Qingming said, Feng He immediately turned around and showed him a puzzled expression.
"Ah! .Senior, you are joking. The name of the owner of this shop has always been your alias in Qinghefang. I have never asked anyone to change the deed of the shop. The Song family is only nominally helping you manage the business.
Since Senior Feng He has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first. If you have any further instructions, just ask the shop owner to send me a message. I will tell him when I get outside. "
After explaining, Song Qingming suddenly realized that Feng He's words just now seemed to remind him that it was time to leave, so he quickly bowed and said goodbye and left his hut.
In order to prevent outsiders from disturbing Feng He, Song Qingming, who had used the shapeshifting technique to transform into Song Yuanfang's appearance, specially called the shopkeeper to give him a detailed explanation before leaving "Liu Feng Tang" and asked them to pay attention to serving the person inside.
The shopkeeper in charge of "Liu Feng Tang" is a monk from another family who has joined the Song family for many years. This person has always been steady in doing things and has never made any mistakes in the many years he has been in charge of the shop. The Song family has always been relatively confident in him.
Hearing the careful instructions of "Song Yuanfang", the shopkeeper immediately understood , the "senior" inside had a somewhat unusual status, and he became more cautious about this matter.
After leaving "Liu Feng Tang", in order not to attract attention, Song Qingming walked on the streets of Qinghefang and transformed into an ordinary Qi-refining cultivator.
Ever since he was reminded by Mo Laoguai in Wu, Song Qingming had long wanted to go to Donghuang Country for some training, and by the way, he would inquire about the news of "Yuxuan Mountain" and "Taixu Palace" there.
Even if Feng He didn't come to him this time, Song Qingming would have to start preparing for this matter, but Feng He's sudden arrival brought this matter a little earlier.
Although Song Qingming's current cultivation has reached the fifth level of Jindan, and he already has a lot of sophisticated magic weapons on him, as long as he faces Those masters in the late Jindan stage have no problem protecting themselves.
However, being accompanied by Feng He, a top master in the peak Jindan stage, can provide more security for himself on the way to Donghuang Country, which is definitely much safer than Song Qingming going alone.
Because of this, Song Qingming agreed to Feng He without much hesitation just now.
In any case, although Feng He has a strange temper, he has been very good to Song Qingming in the years of knowing him. Without the spiritual objects that Feng He sent to Song Qingming as promised, it would not be so easy for Song Qingming to break through the Jindan stage.
Having received the support of Feng He, Song Qingming has already treated Feng He as his good friend in his heart, so he naturally trusts him.
After agreeing with Feng He to go to Donghuang Country, Song Qingming, who returned to Funiu Mountain, told Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan that he wanted to travel in the near future.
Hearing that Song Qingming wanted to go to Donghuang Country, which was more than 100,000 miles away from the west of the continent, alone, Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu were a little worried and quickly persuaded him.
However, Song Qingming was very determined about this matter. He said frankly that in addition to traveling, he also wanted to find a place that was related to his future path.
This time, after thinking it over again and again, Song Qingming did not choose to hide it from Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu. He told the two women everything about how he met two mysterious people in Guiyunfang and got the "Yuxuan Sutra".
After learning that Song Qingming also wanted to travel to Donghuang Kingdom to inquire about "Yuxuan Mountain" and "Taixu Palace" because of his own path, Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu no longer had any reason to stop them, and immediately nodded in agreement with him. idea.
"Husband, after all, this matter is related to your future career opportunities. Since you have already made a decision in your heart, then don't worry. Qingyu and I are at home, so there is nothing to worry about."
"Sister-in-law is right! Brother Qi, if you go to Donghuang Kingdom with peace of mind, there will definitely be no problems at home. If you can really find the senior from back then and get the follow-up skills in the Yuxuan Sutra, maybe the two of us will be able to do it in the future. Even the whole family will follow suit."
After hearing this, Song Qingming smiled and reassured the two of them: "You don't have to worry too much. My trip to Donghuang Kingdom is just for a tour, and I'm looking for those two places by the way. I'm not going to carry out any dangerous mission.
Besides, I am not a person who insists on personal opportunities. Regardless of whether the final result can be found or not, I will come back on time. I estimate that ten or twenty years will be enough. "
Huang Siyuan and Huang Siyuan have been getting along with Song Qingming day and night for so many years. Naturally, they know that he has always been a prudent person who rarely acts impulsively, so they naturally believe in what he says.
It's just that the three of them have supported each other for so many years, and they always care about each other in their hearts. It is definitely impossible to say that they are not worried about Song Qingming's trip.
After discussing the matter with Huang Siyuan, Song Qingming took out several spiritual objects from the storage instruments on his body and handed them to Song Qingyu.
"I will definitely not be able to come back in a short time after I leave this time. These things are needed by the family at any time. You should put them away first. Don't delay everyone's journey because I am out."
Among the things Song Qingming took out, there were the two Foundation Establishment Pills left on him, the "Chi Jing Jade" he just got from Feng He, and the "Luolong Island" barter conference a few years ago. A water spirit fruit obtained.
These are valuable spiritual objects that assist the monks in building foundations and forming elixirs, and are related to the family heritage. Song Qingming is not yet confident about handing them over directly to the people below, so he handed them over to his two daughters for safekeeping.
The Fuyun Mountain Range is far to the east of Donghuang Xianzhou, and is separated by more than 100,000 miles from Donghuang Kingdom, which is located in the middle of the mainland. Even if a trip there goes smoothly, it will take at least ten or twenty years for Song Qingming to return. Come.
If he keeps these things on himself, if he is delayed for any time outside, it will definitely delay the path of other monks at home, so Song Qingming must also make these preparations before setting off.
In addition, Song Qingming has used two of the third-level low-grade "Blood Dragon Fruit" he brought out from the "Tongtian Tower" last time, and the remaining two are for Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu. This time, they will also He took it out and gave it to the two daughters.
These two third-level low-grade "Blood Dragon Fruits" can help early-stage golden elixir monks break through bottlenecks. The best time to use them is when early-stage golden elixir monks break through the fourth level of the golden elixir.
Huang Siyuan had just formed the elixir not long ago. Although Song Qingyu had formed the elixir earlier, her cultivation was only at the peak of the first level of the golden elixir and had not yet broken through to the second level of the golden elixir.
Although it was still a long time before they could use this thing, Song Qingming decided to give these two fruits to the two women first, just in case, and after careful consideration, and informed them of the function of this thing.
As for whether they should take the refining now or wait until they break through the mid-term bottleneck of the golden elixir in the future, Song Qingming didn't say much and left the decision to themselves. He just told them to be careful and not to leak this elixir. Information about spiritual fruits.
After all, the "Blood Dragon Fruit" of level three or above is already considered a very rare spiritual object in the world of immortality. Every appearance of it will cause many golden elixir monks to fight for it. Once the news is leaked, I am afraid it will cause some unhappiness for them. Necessary trouble.
After explaining to Huang Siyuan, Song Qingming took the opportunity to go to Guyang Mountain and explained to the head Yao Qianshu face to face that he was going to travel.
Although the Xiaoyao Sect usually paid no attention to the whereabouts of the guest elders, this trip to Donghuang Kingdom was different from his previous outings. Song Qingming himself couldn't tell when he would be back.
Afraid of any misunderstandings on the sect's side in the future, Song Qingming decided to take the initiative to come to Guyang Mountain to explain the matter to the sect after some thought.
After arriving at Guyang Mountain, Song Qingming came to Xiaoyao Hall where Yao Qianshu usually handled affairs, not wanting to accidentally run into Bai Yuxian, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Senior Brother Head, Senior Sister Bai!"
"Junior Brother Song, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I didn't expect that your cultivation has improved and you have already caught up with Junior Brother Jin and the others!" Seeing Song Qingming's figure, Yao Qianshu who was sitting aside hurriedly stood up and gave him a fight. He greeted him and arranged for him to sit down aside.
Bai Yuxian, who was sitting at the top and was dressed in white, smiled slightly and nodded to Song Qingming after seeing him.
Seeing that Yao Qianshu's usual seat was suddenly replaced by Bai Yuxian's, Song Qingming also had a slightly strange look on his face. He saw the confusion in Yao Qianshu's heart. After sitting down, he immediately smiled and took the initiative to explain:
"Haha! Junior Brother Song doesn't know something. I've been feeling a little lacking in energy lately. Last month, Senior Uncle Li arranged for Junior Sister Bai to come here to take over my sect's duties.
I'm afraid I won't be out and about much in the future. If I have any business matters, I can just discuss it with Junior Sister Bai directly. After being busy for half my life, it's time for me to take a good rest. "
"We, the monks, have been practicing hard all our lives, and this day will inevitably come to us. The head brother has worked hard for the sect all his life, and it is really not easy. Master Li is very considerate of you in this arrangement!" Song Qingming nodded slightly and replied.
Yao Qianshu's longevity is already 560 years old. In addition, he suffered several serious injuries in his early years, which has further affected his longevity. It is estimated that he will only be 10 to 20 years away from the end of his death.
Li Mufeng arranged for Bai Yuxian to take over the affairs in his hands at this time, probably because he intended to let Bai Yuxian take over his position as the leader.
"Junior Brother Song is saying that since I entered Taoism, I have reached my current status thanks to the cultivation of the sect and Master Li. Compared to Junior Brother Lu and others who died in battle, it is considered a blessing from God that I can die a good death.
hehe! As I get older, I tend to talk more. After talking for so long, I still haven’t asked my junior brother why he came to Guyang Mountain to see me today. " Yao Qianshu sighed, then returned to the topic and asked Song Qingming's purpose of coming today.
Upon seeing this, Song Qingming immediately told him about his plans to travel to the "East Phoenix Country".
It is not unusual for a Golden Elixir monk to travel after forming an elixir.
Except for a few people in the Xiaoyao Sect who have never traveled outside, other Jindan elders including Yao Qianshu have had the experience of traveling in their early years.
It's just that the places everyone chooses to travel are usually near the Fuyun Mountains or in the world of immortal cultivation in the East China Sea. Few people go too far.
When they heard that Song Qingming was going to travel to the "East Phoenix Kingdom" in the middle of the mainland, Yao Qianshu and Bai Yuxian both had a look of surprise on their faces.
"Junior Brother Song wants to go out and travel, which is naturally a good thing, but the distance between Donghuang Country is really too far. If Junior Brother encounters any difficulties, the sect may not be able to take care of him.
Junior Brother, why don’t you choose to travel somewhere nearby, or go to the East China Sea Cultivation World! "
Song Qingming shook his head slightly when he heard this and said: "Since I am going out on a trip, I can't rely on the sect to take care of me at any time. I still want to go farther away to see the outside world."
"Senior Brother Head also knows that I just went to the East China Sea Immortal Realm not long ago and already know something about it, but now I don't have much interest in it.
Since I entered Taoism, I have heard for a long time about the vastness of the world of immortal cultivation in Donghuang Kingdom, and I have always longed for it. However, due to my own lack of cultivation and the burden of my family, I have been unable to get away from it.
Now that I have succeeded in practice, both Qingyu and Siyuan have successfully formed elixirs, and the sect is taking care of them. There is no need to worry too much about my family, and I just have time to go out and take a look.
I just can't bear to keep practicing hard at home. I still like to move around and see the outside world. I hope that the head brother can fulfill my wish. "
Hearing this, Yao Qianshu nodded slightly with appreciation and said: "Oh! Junior Brother Song's words are serious. Junior Brother wants to go out for a walk. There is nothing wrong with that. I can stop him without any reason.
However, when going to Donghuang Kingdom, the mountains are high and the road is far away. Junior brother still needs to make some preparations. It is best to first understand the situation there with people who have been there. "(End of chapter)
