Chapter 162: Immortal Wind Jade

Seeing that the matter at Mount Longtan had been handled properly, Song Qingming was just about to get up and prepare to leave when a Wu family cultivator suddenly ran in in a panic.

"Senior... Senior, it's not good! Those two demonic cultivators seem to be dying!"

Upon hearing this, Song Qingming hurriedly led people to the secret chamber where Gu Liangshan and the other were being held. Upon entering, he saw that the two were in pain, their entire bodies were charred black, and their bodies were already shrouded in a stream of black Qi; they had already lost their breath.

Seeing this, Song Qingming's expression was somewhat ugly. Afterward, he waved his hand and released a fireball, burning both of them into a pile of ashes.

"Such demonic cultivators, in the end, are controlled by others their whole lives and have no freedom."

Looking at Gu Liangshan's painful appearance before death, the many cultivators who followed Song Qingming were all horrified. They didn't expect that these demonic cultivators' methods would be so vicious, and that they would be so ruthless when attacking their own people.

After resolving the matter of Mount Longtan, Song Qingming returned to Qinghefang alone first, leaving the subsequent statistics of meritorious rewards to Sixth Uncle Song Changfeng and the others.

In the State of Wei, to encourage all cultivators to eradicate these demonic scourges, whether you are a Xiaoyao Sect cultivator or a cultivation family or rogue cultivator below, as long as you eliminate a demonic cultivator, you can directly take the corpse or storage bag to a place controlled by the Xiaoyao Sect to receive a reward. This is also a rule that has not changed since the Xiaoyao Sect was founded thousands of years ago.

After Song Changfeng finished calculating the merits of this battle and reported them to Lu Yuanfeng, everyone who participated in the Battle of Mount Longtan, including Song Qingming, would be able to receive their own share of the reward in the future.

After returning to his cave dwelling, the Skyfire Peng, which had been hungry for several days, immediately flew toward Song Qingming. Looking at the big bird with a pitiful expression, Song Qingming hurriedly took out a bottle of Spirit-Feeding Pills and fed them into its mouth. He had been in a hurry when he learned the news about the demonic cultivators, and he had indeed forgotten this guy.

After comforting the Skyfire Peng, Song Qingming took out a storage bag from his body and placed it on the stone table. With a "clinking" sound, Song Qingming poured out the things inside one by one.

The things in this storage bag were all searched from Gu Liangshan and those demonic cultivators. Many of the cultivation arts and magic tools on the demonic cultivators were things that could bewitch people's hearts and cause them to fall into the demonic path. After Song Changfeng collected these things, he didn't dare to dispose of them without authorization and could only hand them all to Song Qingming.

There were all sorts of messy things in there. Song Qingming first picked out the things like spirit stones that wouldn't have any problems, and then he used the true fire in his body to burn all the demonic cultivation arts and demonized pills.

Most of the remaining things like magic tools were demonic tools refined using bloody methods. Except for demonic cultivators, normal cultivators couldn't use them at all, so they could only be destroyed directly. Only the "Soul-Gathering Banner" on Gu Liangshan was a second-tier magic tool. Although Song Qingming couldn't use it, it still had some value if handed over to a high-tier refiner to be broken down into materials. If there was a chance in the future, it could be taken to the Huang family to exchange for some spirit items.

There was also a portion of spirit items that were not completely demonized, which were seized from other cultivators after these demonic cultivators killed them. Just like the black jade pendant Song Qingming obtained from Gu Liangshan, as long as he spent some time driving out the demonic Qi inside, it could be used normally. There were not many spirit items in this situation, only a dozen or so, and most of them were low-tier magic tools of little value.

Only a few books related to alchemy were somewhat useful. Song Qingming decided to keep them and take them to his Second Sister, Song Qingwan, to study in a few days.

After being in seclusion in his cave dwelling for a few days, Song Qingming sent a voice transmission to Huang Siyuan, who lived next door, and summoned her to his cave dwelling.

"I have something to do recently, and I'm afraid I won't have time to look after this guy. Can you help me take care of it?" After Song Qingming finished speaking, he pointed to the Skyfire Peng, which was devouring a pile of spirit beast flesh and blood.

Huang Siyuan glanced at the Skyfire Peng, pondered slightly, and stretched out a slender jade hand, holding up three fingers to Song Qingming.

"I can help! But helping you feed a spirit beast will delay my shop's business somewhat. You have to give me some compensation."

Hearing Huang Siyuan's words, Song Qingming shook his head, thinking to himself, this girl is really not one to suffer a loss. Fortunately, he had been prepared.

"How many spirit stones are you planning to ask from me?" Song Qingming asked curiously.

Huang Siyuan blinked her beautiful eyes and said calmly, "Since we are acquaintances, I will charge you three spirit stones a day. However, you have to give me a deposit first. I'm afraid that if you don't come back for a long time, I won't be able to make ends meet."

Song Qingming nodded and took out a black spirit item from his hand and handed it to Huang Siyuan. It was precisely the black jade pendant from which he had driven out the demonic Qi these past few days.

"If this item is taken to the market, it should be worth about three hundred spirit stones. Is it okay to use it as a deposit?"

Although this black jade pendant was not a second-tier magic tool, among first-tier spirit items, something that could assist people in flying would likely not be worth much less than a second-tier magic tool. Song Qingming saying three hundred spirit stones was actually a bit conservative. As long as late-stage Qi Refining cultivators could use this thing, it would definitely be something that many cultivators would scramble for if taken outside.

After Huang Siyuan took the black jade pendant and heard Song Qingming say it was worth three hundred spirit stones, she was somewhat puzzled at first. It wasn't until Song Qingming explained the jade pendant's function to her that she was shocked and believed what Song Qingming had just said.

It wasn't just Song Qingming; being able to fly through the air was almost an ability that every low-tier cultivator yearned for. Although Huang Siyuan was not too old and still had a glimmer of hope for Foundation Establishment, she, who had cultivated the Dao for many years, also deeply understood that Foundation Establishment was almost an insurmountable chasm for ordinary cultivators like them. Not everyone could have as many opportunities as Song Qingming.

On a high mountain more than ten miles outside Qinghefang, two rays of spiritual light circled the mountaintop a few times before slowly landing on a flat blue stone several zhang wide on the mountaintop, transforming into two figures.

These two were precisely Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, who had just been in Qinghefang. Like Song Qingming when he first learned to fly with a sword, Huang Siyuan, who had experienced the ability to fly for a while, was as happy as a real little girl among mortals, appearing like a completely different person from the one Song Qingming knew before. Even now, she still had an expression of wanting more.

Although she had Song Qingming's guidance on the side, it only took her a little over an hour to master the ability to fly, which made Song Qingming look at her with admiration. Her ability to learn cultivation arts was indeed among the top existence among the cultivators Song Qingming knew.

Huang Siyuan, standing on the high mountaintop, closed her eyes and stretched out her hands toward the front, as if experiencing every breeze that brushed across her cheeks.

After a while, Huang Siyuan suddenly asked Song Qingming softly.

"What is the name of this jade pendant?"

"Someone gave it to me, and they didn't tell me the name either. Since it's already yours, you can just give it any name you want!"

"Hmm, then let's call it Immortal Wind Jade in the future! When it took me flying, I could feel a trace of immortal Qi in the wind!"
