Chapter 249: Qingyu Reaches Foundation Establishment

Three months later, looking at the cave dwelling door where Song Qingyu was in seclusion, there was still no movement. Although Song Qingming looked very calm on the surface, he was still a bit anxious in his heart.

Song Qingyu had been cultivating to the ninth layer of Qi Refining for four years, and her foundation was much firmer than when Song Qingming reached Foundation Establishment back then. Added to the fact that she was a three-spiritual-root cultivator and had the careful guidance of her Foundation Establishment brother Song Qingming for many years, logically speaking, the probability of her successfully reaching Foundation Establishment should be over sixty percent, which was much higher than Song Qingming back then.

To get this Foundation Establishment Pill for Song Qingyu, Song Qingming not only spent most of his net worth but also risked going to Mount Bai Long. If she failed this time, whether there would be another chance to reach Foundation Establishment, he had no way of knowing.

For the sake of safety, Song Qingming had issued a strict order in the clan for the past few months. Except for Patriarch Song Changfeng, no one was allowed to approach his cave dwelling during this period. The entire Song family, except for him and Song Changfeng, did not know that Song Qingyu was in seclusion to reach Foundation Establishment.

Although Qinghe County had slowly become peaceful over the years, when it came to such a major event as someone around him reaching Foundation Establishment, Song Qingming couldn't help but attach importance to it. Ever since Song Qingyu went into seclusion to reach Foundation Establishment, Song Qingming hadn't left Mount Funiu for these few months, staying on the mountain to protect her every step of the way.

His cave dwelling was originally the place with the best spiritual energy on the mountain, but now he had taken the initiative to give it up for Song Qingyu to go into seclusion to reach Foundation Establishment. Song Qingming could only temporarily open up a small cave dwelling in the surrounding area for daily cultivation.

More than a month later, Song Qingming, who was meditating in his cave dwelling, suddenly felt someone trigger the restriction outside the cave dwelling.

After he walked out of the cave dwelling, he discovered that besides the happy Sixth Uncle Song Changfeng, there was also Song Qingyu who had ended her seclusion.

At this moment, Song Qingyu's eyes were fixed on Song Qingming, her face full of complex colors, and the temperament emitted by her whole person had undergone earth-shaking changes, and even her appearance seemed to have become much younger.

"Qingyu, you really didn't let me down. Seventh Brother congratulates you on successfully reaching Foundation Establishment."

As soon as she came out, he felt the abnormal surge of magic power coming from Song Qingyu. Song Qingming also instantly knew that she had now been reborn and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator like himself.

"Seventh Brother, the grace of the path, I have nothing to repay. Please accept Qingyu's bow."

Seeing that Song Qingyu was about to step forward and kneel down to him, Song Qingming hurriedly supported her figure in advance and said: "We are all family, no need for this. The reason you have the opportunity to reach the path today is mainly because your Dao heart is firm enough. Otherwise, no matter how hard I try to support you, it will be in vain."

Hearing Song Qingming's praise for her, Song Qingyu recalled the various difficulties and dangers she encountered during the Foundation Establishment process over the past few months, and couldn't help but have a hint of tears in her eyes.

Her Foundation Establishment process was also full of dangers. Just the first step of body forging almost exhausted all her energy, almost causing her to fall at this step. Fortunately, with the help of the Green Jade Pill and the Foundation Establishment Pill, she finally gritted her teeth and survived by relying on a hint of unyielding perseverance.

When she reached the second step of Qi condensation and the third step of soul forging, because she spent too much time on the first step, the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill had been consumed seven or eight out of ten. These two steps were completely risked by her relying on her own firm will and some guidance experience given by Song Qingming.

Song Qingyu had been cultivating for so many years. When she entered the path, because her spiritual root was better and she caught up with the good time of family development, she had never lacked cultivation resources. Added to some intentional support from Song Qingming after he reached Foundation Establishment, her path could be described as smooth sailing compared to others, and she hadn't suffered any formidable setbacks.

It wasn't until this Foundation Establishment that Song Qingyu encountered the greatest physical and mental test since she started cultivating, making her deeply realize the difficulty and hardship of cultivation.

During Foundation Establishment, just the first step of body forging made Song Qingyu panic. If it weren't for the careful guidance of her brother Song Qingming in advance, she really wouldn't have been able to survive so smoothly this time, and it was highly likely that she would have failed at this step.

After experiencing all the difficulties and pain of these few steps of Foundation Establishment, Song Qingyu had clearly grown a lot. She finally understood that the reason Song Qingming was able to successfully reach Foundation Establishment was definitely not just because his luck was better than others.

After all, as a cultivator born in a small family like the Song family, Song Qingming didn't have such good conditions as her back then. No one else could support him so wholeheartedly. The dangers of every step of Foundation Establishment that Song Qingming experienced must have been more difficult than what she experienced this time.

"Alright, you are also a Foundation Establishment cultivator now, a pillar of the family. What does it look like to be crying like this? From now on, you can't shed tears in front of other clansmen."

Seeing Song Qingyu suddenly start to cry like a little girl again, Song Qingming revealed a smile and comforted her a few more times.

"Qingming, Qingyu, both of you have successfully reached Foundation Establishment. The foundation of the Song family will sooner or later be carried forward in your hands. Seeing your achievements today, even if I, this patriarch, close my eyes now, I will have no shame before the ancestors of the Song family."

Looking at the two young talents of the Song family in front of him, Patriarch Song Changfeng couldn't help but secretly shed a tear of emotion. His mood at this moment was both moved and excited, and there was also a hint of regret that belonged to him personally.

After learning that Song Qingyu successfully reached Foundation Establishment, Song Qingming finally put down the worry in his heart. After discussing with Song Changfeng, he decided not to inform other clansmen of this news for the time being. After Song Qingyu's cultivation was completely stabilized after a period of time, they would find a time to announce this matter to other clansmen.

This time, Song Qingyu's Foundation Establishment time was much faster than Song Qingming's back then, taking only four months, which shows that her talent is now much higher than Song Qingming's.

Song Qingyu is now only in her forties. As long as her cultivation goes smoothly in the future and she can reach the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment earlier, she will also have a sliver of chance to form a Golden Core, but this still depends on her future opportunities and luck.

However, the path after Foundation Establishment is also hard to say. Some people, although they cultivate very smoothly in the Qi Refining stage, are not necessarily so after entering the Foundation Establishment stage, and it is possible that they will find it difficult to even reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment in their lifetime.

Now that the Song family has two Foundation Establishment cultivators, although they still cannot compare to the strength of the Huang family and the Cao family, they can finally suppress the Lu family and are no longer the existence at the bottom of the Foundation Establishment families in Qinghe County.

In less than twenty years since Song Qingming reached Foundation Establishment, the Song family had changed from an ordinary small Qi Refining family to an existence that could truly be mentioned in the same breath as the other major Foundation Establishment families in Qinghe County. Even Song Qingming himself still feels a bit incredible when thinking about it.
