The Song family searched for the group of robbers nearby several times, but found nothing. They could only report the matter to the nearby Foundation Establishment family, the Huang family. Unexpectedly, the Huang family did not care about this matter, only verbally comforted the people of the Song family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, half a month later, a major event happened in Qinghe County. A Qi-Refining cultivator of the Huang family was attacked and killed by robbers from Eagle Nest Ridge outside the Qinghe Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was like poking a hornet's nest. The Huang family is an old Foundation Establishment family in Qinghe County, and there are still three Foundation Establishment cultivators in the clan. For a hundred years, it has always been the largest immortal cultivation family in Qinghe County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, several major Foundation Establishment families in Qinghe County, led by the Huang family, gathered dozens of law enforcement cultivators with great momentum and began to conduct a large-scale investigation of strange cultivators from outside in the scope of Qinghe County. The robbers from Eagle Nest Ridge, seeing that the matter had been exposed, all chose to flee in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside forces killing and seizing treasures outside the Qinghe Market is a matter that will seriously affect the reputation of the Qinghe Market. The Qinghe Market is the foundation of many immortal cultivation forces in Qinghe County. Large and small immortal cultivation families in Qinghe County all have some industries in the Qinghe Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The major immortal cultivation families showed unusual unity in the face of common interests. This operation not only captured and killed more than a dozen famous robbers but also unexpectedly discovered a shop in the Qinghe Market that had been colluding with the Eagle Nest Ridge robbers for many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shop was originally operated by several old rogue cultivators in Qinghe County. Driven by interests, they had been selling customer information to the Eagle Nest Ridge robbers for a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the major Foundation Establishment families very angry, and they once again united with the Xiaoyao Sect cultivators stationed there to conduct a thorough investigation of all shops in the market, making the Qinghe Market jump around for half a month before slowly recovering its past prosperity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lingsource Mountain, Song Qingming, who had fully recovered, did not know everything that happened outside. Staying at home to heal his injuries for more than ten days, without having to go out for daily patrolling of the ore vein, also made him rarely have nothing to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he was in the small room where he usually cultivated, staring thoughtfully at a gray, simple animal skin in his hand, and not far away was a green, exquisite jade box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This animal skin was only four or five inches in size. The front was painted with some patterns of mountains and rivers, but there were large defects, and no clue could be seen at all. The back was painted with a few immortal floating cloud patterns and engraved with a few nameless magic formulas, which were also incomplete things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of the origin of this residual map, it had to go back to the mountain cave where Song Qingming almost lost his life a few days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day Song Qingming hid in the waste soil in the cave to deceive Zhu Wu, his body happened to press on this jade box. After Zhu Wu left, Song Qingming, who climbed out of the soil pile, also dug out this little thing that had made him feel uncomfortable for half a day by the way. Seeing that the jade box outside was very exquisite, he put it into the storage bag and brought it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until more than ten days later that Song Qingming, who was too bored, remembered that he originally thought that what was in this jade box might be some treasure, but he didn't expect it to be a broken picture that he couldn't understand at all, which made him feel somewhat disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This jade box is quite good-looking. I can take it to exchange for a few Qi-Refining powders with Second Sister, or keep it to hold something is also good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for this broken picture...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming raised his hand and threw the picture into the air, and his left hand released a fireball technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a burst of raging fire, what he didn't expect was that this animal skin residual map was still intact, and no change had occurred at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this picture not an ordinary thing, or is it a spirit object? Even if it is a spirit object, it wouldn't be unchanged in this raging fire. Is this a high-grade magic tool?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, I'll ask Uncle Nine tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming, with a face full of surprise, carefully put away the residual map and put it back into the jade box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, after patrolling the mine, Song Qingming came to Song Changxin's small building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changxin looked at this gray residual map and thought for a long time before opening his mouth to say:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, this should be a residual magic treasure fragment. When I was practicing in Ziyun Mountain, I had also seen similar things in the nearby market. Magic treasure is a powerful magic tool that can only be refined by Core Formation cultivators. Even a fragment is much tougher than ordinary magic tools.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kind of residual thing can also be exchanged for a few spirit stones, and can be used as a high-grade material to be refined into a new magic tool. These patterns, I think, must have been deliberately drawn by someone to disguise it as a place where senior cultivators hide treasures. There are often people in the market who hold this thing to fool you young people who have just entered the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming, who left Song Changxin's residence, felt quite calm in his heart. This thing was picked up by himself by accident. Although it is not a high-grade magic tool, it is already very good to be worth a few spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't intend to sell it in the market. After experiencing a life-and-death crisis, Song Qingming was more eager to arm himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although this residual map has no other use, it is very tough. Find a magic garment and sew it on the vital part. Maybe it can save my life at a critical moment. In this day and age, immortal cultivation is the most important thing to save one's life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming returned to his residence, turned out the old and tattered magic garment he had worn before, sewed this residual map on his chest, and wore it as an inner shirt inside his magic garment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At night, it was another day of boring cultivation. Song Qingming sat cross-legged as usual and began to cultivate the \"Kunyuan Art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming had broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining for only more than half a year. With his four-spiritual-root aptitude, it was still far away to normally cultivate to the fifth level of Qi Refining. Wanting to take elixirs to save cultivation time, he now had only more than ten spirit stones in total, and still owed Thirteenth Uncle and the others more than twenty spirit stones, so it was even more impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when he was halfway through his cultivation, a feeling of overflowing spiritual energy came from his body, which made him feel extremely confused instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Usually, it takes three or four hours of meditation to fully recover spiritual energy. Today, it has only been an hour, why is the spiritual energy in my dantian already about to overflow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the same, Song Qingming hurriedly entered meditation and used his spiritual sense to check the abnormalities in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't broken through my cultivation base, why has the speed of absorbing spiritual energy increased so much? What is going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming took off the magic garment outside, operated the \"Kunyuan Art,\" and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. At this time, the residual map sewn on his chest suddenly emitted a faint white light, and the circulation of spiritual energy in his body was several times faster than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After repeated tossing and turning, Song Qingming finally confirmed the reason for the abnormality in his cultivation, which was on the residual map he sewed on his chest today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This residual map can actually affect the speed at which I absorb spiritual energy. This is also too amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that this thing is not the magic treasure fragment that Uncle Nine said, and I don't know what it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A month later, Song Qingming, who was huddled in the room, was looking at two complete sets of low-grade arrays in his hand with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of recovering spiritual energy increased inexplicably, which made his injuries that should have been healed in a month basically healed in less than half a month, which also exceeded Song Qingming's expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the damage to his spiritual sense caused by excessive consumption of spiritual energy, he would have a sudden stabbing pain in his brain from time to time before. Song Changxin said it would take half a year to slowly recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that the spiritual sense in his body had recovered more than half in the past few days. He tried to use spells that consumed more spiritual power several times, and there was no stabbing pain as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Song Qingming slowly feel some horror. This residual map is probably a treasure that is not simple. Except for a few elixirs that help recover spiritual energy, Song Qingming has never heard of any spirit object that can speed up the recovery of spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If other cultivators discovered its use, the Song family would definitely not be able to protect him. I am afraid that those high-ranking Foundation Establishment cultivators would be jealous of this thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Song Qingming stayed in the room all day, he didn't dare to use the residual map to cultivate too much. Fortunately, when this residual map is used, it won't cause much movement, and it will only emit a faint white light that ordinary magic tools can emit. Sewn on the inner shirt, when cultivating, wearing a magic garment outside won't see any abnormalities, and it won't easily attract the attention of ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recovering spiritual energy at several times the speed allowed Song Qingming to make a set of arrays in three months in the past, but now he can complete a set in one month. If there are sufficient materials, according to this speed, he will be able to pay off the spirit stones of Thirteenth Uncle and the others this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than a month of pondering, Song Qingming gradually saw a business opportunity. Although the residual map on his body did not improve his usual cultivation speed much, it could help him save a lot of time for meditation and cultivation, and he had several times the time to concentrate on making arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal cultivators have to spend four or five hours a day meditating and cultivating to recover spiritual energy. He can complete it in about an hour now. The spiritual power consumed by making arrays is several times that of normal recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the key is that he has no materials in his hand. The seven or eight spirit stones left on him are barely enough for his usual cultivation. Except for the mid-grade flying sword he purchased last time, there are only these two sets of arrays that are worth some money in the storage bag. He must find a way to go to the market again, sell these two sets of arrays to exchange for spirit stones to purchase new talisman-making materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming understood that the biggest disadvantage of an array master is that making arrays is too time-consuming. Making a set of low-grade arrays, if you don't want to delay your cultivation time, it usually takes about three months to complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excluding material costs, a set of low-grade arrays can only earn four or five spirit stones. Fortunately, making arrays generally does not waste materials. Compared with talisman making, alchemy, and artifact refining, which have higher risks, the income is considered very stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that after the last attack incident, the elders in the clan gave instructions that Song Qingming cannot go far alone within a year, which also made his plan to accumulate wealth encounter a big difficulty. The materials used for the arrays in Song Qingming's hand were entrusted to Song Changxin to help purchase when he went to the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the last injury, the elders in the clan were also worried that the damage to his spiritual sense had not fully recovered, and going out alone might have accidents. For a weak immortal cultivation family like the Song family, every cultivator is very important to the family, and low-level cultivators cannot be allowed to take too many risks. Only by trying their best to ensure that the young cultivators in the clan grow up can they make more contributions to the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that they don't know that Song Qingming's spiritual sense has already recovered almost completely. Song Qingming also dared not reveal the special ability of the residual map, and similarly dared not go to explain his injuries to them, so he could only patiently wait for other opportunities to go to the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2277,"2026-06-14T02:09:02.992Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ccbbec6efa914dd073140497ce0620ef6d129d370b739d1810cd6131ebc518a1","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-12","the-qinghe-song-clan-chapter-10",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
