Chapter 258: Mount Wutong

Three days later, under a spiritual mountain several hundred zhang high on the east side of Mount Funiu, Xu Changrong looked at Song Qingyu, who was standing in front and directing the crowd, and couldn't help but reveal a trace of surprise in his heart.

Before they had just arrived in Qinghe County to inquire about the Song clan, they learned that the Song clan only had this one Foundation Establishment cultivator, Song Qingming. They didn't expect that there was actually another Foundation Establishment cultivator hidden in the Song clan. It seemed that this Song clan was not as simple as what they saw on the surface.

However, for them, having a stronger main family in the future was definitely more beneficial to them at present. Regarding this, Xu Changrong's heart became even more firm in their choice back then. Both of the Song clan's Foundation Establishment cultivators were very young, so they shouldn't have to worry about their own safety within a hundred years. As long as the Xu family could successfully take root, they would be able to be like a real cultivation family after another hundred years of stable development.

A few days ago, after learning that Xu Changrong had selected a location to settle down, Song Qingming directly ordered the gathering of more than a dozen Song clan cultivators and let Song Qingyu personally lead the team to go there to help Xu Changrong clear this spiritual mountain first.

Within the territory of Qinghe County, in places relatively on the outskirts, there were still many ownerless spiritual mountains. Most of these spiritual mountains were still occupied by demonic beasts. If the Xu family wanted to settle down here, they had to clear the demonic beasts on the mountain first.

This mountain was a top-grade spiritual vein, so there were naturally many demonic beasts on it. Although there were no high-tier demonic beasts nearby, relying solely on Xu Changrong and the other one to clear the entire spiritual mountain was afraid to be somewhat difficult to do. Since they had already received the other party's meeting gift, Song Qingming naturally couldn't stand by and watch, which led to this action by the Song clan.

Letting Song Qingyu lead the team was naturally also deliberately arranged by Song Qingming. On one hand, it was to show the Song clan's strength in front of Xu Changrong and the others, and on the other hand, it was also intended to let Song Qingyu go down the mountain to exercise a bit, so as not to always be in seclusion in the cave dwelling to cultivate.

"Start the action!"

Following Song Qingyu's order, more than a dozen cultivators from the Song clan's law enforcement team and Xu Changrong and the other one killed their way toward this spiritual mountain aggressively from several directions.

Song Qingyu stepped on the Taoguang Sword and rushed to the very front of the team. This second-grade flying sword under her feet was one that Song Qingming had used before. After Song Qingyu established her Foundation, Song Qingming gave it to her as a spiritual item.

The Taoguang Sword was a water-attribute flying sword, which just happened to match Song Qingyu's cultivation technique attribute. Now that it was in her hands, it exerted even greater power.

On the hillside, a low-tier deer demon that was still confused hadn't reacted yet before it was cut into two halves by several water-wave-shaped blades issued by Song Qingyu.

This entire spiritual mountain was full of first-tier demonic beasts. Facing Song Qingyu, this Foundation Establishment cultivator, they were naturally not enough to look at. With the Taoguang Sword dancing, in less than half an hour, the remaining demonic beasts on the mountain began to flee from this place in all directions.

The Song clan's law enforcement team often went out to hunt demons under the leadership of Elder Song Changxiong. They were also very experienced in dealing with these demonic beasts. After the whole battle, only two people were slightly injured in the end. Everyone occupied this mountain easily without spending much effort.

Song Qingyu led people to search on the mountain and unexpectedly found a top-grade spiritual fruit tree. She originally wanted to let the sixth younger brother Song Qinghe come to transplant it back to Mount Funiu, but after Xu Changrong saw this spiritual fruit tree, he took out 100 spirit stones and insisted on keeping this tree.

Seeing that this old man's attitude was very persistent, Song Qingyu didn't want to reject his face the first time they met, so she simply did him a favor and accepted this sum of spirit stones.

A top-grade spiritual fruit tree was worth about 100 spirit stones in the square, but if you wanted to cultivate it on your own spiritual mountain, it would take at least several decades. The Xu family currently didn't have a top-grade spiritual planter, and it was also very difficult to transplant one if they bought it in the square. Being able to have a ready-made spiritual fruit tree placed here was definitely of higher value to them than 100 spirit stones.

After negotiating this matter, Song Qingyu handed over the entire spiritual mountain to the Xu family's two people, let the law enforcement team collect the demonic beast corpses on the mountain, and returned to Mount Funiu.

This action obtained so many demonic beast corpses, plus the 100 spirit stones exchanged for the spiritual fruit tree, the Song clan crowd could be considered not to have worked in vain, and everyone's faces were blooming with joy.

However, being able to be so smooth was mainly because Song Qingyu was there. Without her, this Foundation Establishment cultivator, the battle couldn't have ended so smoothly, and perhaps someone would have been unlucky enough to lose their life here.

After the Xu family occupied this spiritual mountain, because there were many green wutong trees on the mountain, they named this mountain Mount Wutong. Since then, the Mount Wutong Xu family also became the sixth vassal family under the Song clan.

A few months later, the Xu family hired a large flying boat that could carry a thousand people at Mount Guyang and transported all the cultivators and mortals in their clan directly to Qinghe County.

In order to help the Xu family settle down earlier, at Xu Changrong's request, Song Qingming also arranged for some Song clan mortals to go and help them build houses and cultivate fertile land.

The sudden arrival of the Xu family naturally aroused the vigilance of the surrounding cultivation families. Fortunately, Xu Changrong, this Xu family clan leader, was relatively smooth in his conduct, and it didn't take long for him to slowly integrate into Qinghe County with the help of the Song clan.

After handling this matter, Song Qingming received another piece of good news: the clan's third mortal town was finally completed these few days. This town was named Gu Shi Town, located in the south of Mount Funiu, relatively close to Mu Jiao Town.

Nowadays, the Song clan's mortals near Mount Funiu are developing very quickly. Added to those migrated back from Mount Lingyuan, there are nearly 60,000 people. In Song Qingming's eyes, these mortals are all the foundation of the clan. Matters concerning their survival cannot tolerate the slightest bit of carelessness.

After Song Qingming learned the news that Gu Shi Town was built, he and Song Qingyu secretly went down the mountain and personally walked around the town to feel the living state of the mortals under the mountain.

——

Xiaoyao Sect, in a somewhat remote cave dwelling on Mount Guyang, the somewhat weathered Song Qingze and Song Xinyu were sitting on both sides of the tea tray.

"What, you said Qingyu successfully established her Foundation." Hearing the news told to him by Song Xinyu, Song Qingze couldn't help but lose his composure on his face.

"It seems she already established her Foundation two years ago. Seventh Uncle and the others have been hiding it from everyone and didn't say it out. I also learned the news a few months ago." Seeing this third uncle's reaction being so big, Song Xinyu was also somewhat surprised.

Song Qingze held his forehead and sighed, smiling bitterly, "You came up the mountain late, so you might not be clear about some things. Back then, the clan actually internally decided that she would come to the Xiaoyao Sect. Later, it was I who took the initiative to fight for this opportunity.

In order to establish a Foundation, I gave up the clan and came to the Xiaoyao Sect, but in the end, I still failed. Qingyu lost this opportunity and therefore stayed in the clan, but now she has successfully established her Foundation instead. Thinking about it, it really is that things are unpredictable, and heaven's will is hard to measure."

Hearing these words from Song Qingze, Song Xinyu was also stunned on his face. When he came up the mountain, Song Qingze had already come to the Xiaoyao Sect. He naturally didn't know much about this third uncle's past. This was the first time Song Xinyu learned about this past event of the clan.
