Chapter 297: Finding a Beast Tamer

When Li Quan brought Li Hongyu to Qinghefang back then, it happened that Song Qingming took action to help the two of them, which allowed them to have a stable foothold in Qinghefang. For more than twenty years in Xianfeng Building, the two of them had been working hard and never made any excessive demands, deeply trusted by Huang Siyuan.

Song Xinhu and Li Hongyu were about the same age. When Li Quan brought Li Hongyu to Xianfeng Building back then, the two already knew each other and had frequent contact afterward. In the past few years, because of Song Xinhu's active approach, the relationship between the two had almost been brought to the surface. If it weren't for the old man Li Quan being a bit reluctant to let Li Hongyu marry into the Song family, the two of them would have publicly become Daoist companions long ago.

Li Hongyu's cultivation talent was better than Song Xinhu's. Coupled with the fact that she didn't lack cultivation spirit stones relying on a spiritual chef skill in Xianfeng Building all these years, and with the full support of Old Man Li, her cultivation was also higher than Song Xinhu's. At this moment, she was not far from late-stage Qi Refining. If there was an opportunity, there would be a glimmer of Foundation Establishment opportunity in the future.

In contrast, Song Xinhu's cultivation had not yet broken through to the sixth layer of Qi Refining. If there were no accidents, he would not be able to cultivate to the ninth layer of Qi Refining before the age of sixty in this life, and basically, there was no Foundation Establishment opportunity. He had long since seen through this point, and managing the restaurant with Li Hongyu was often decided by her.

For this nephew with a somewhat soft personality, Song Qingming didn't force him too much. After all, Song Xinhu's cultivation talent was not high. Being able to recognize his own positioning early like Fourth Uncle in this life, living a comfortable life, and then doing things he wanted to do was not a bad thing.

"Skyfire Peng, is it still in a deep sleep?" After being brought into a private room with no one else, Song Qingming immediately asked softly.

The reason he came over this time was precisely because Song Xinhu had sent him a message. The Skyfire Peng, which Li Hongyu had been taking care of, had fallen into a deep sleep half a month ago, and no matter how she called it, it wouldn't wake up. Helpless, the two had to send a message to Song Qingming, who was far away on Mount Funiu, to explain the matter.

"I don't know what's going on. It was fine a while ago. After New Tiger and I took it to Mount Yunwu to hunt once, it started to sleep the next day after returning. No matter how I call it, it won't wake up. Even using its favorite elixirs couldn't lure it out. I don't know if it ate something strange in Mount Yunwu to become like this."

After Li Hongyu finished speaking, she directly took out a red spirit beast bag from her waist and respectfully handed it to Song Qingming.

Song Qingming opened the spirit beast bag and looked, finding that it was indeed as Li Hongyu said. The Skyfire Peng, this foodie who had almost eaten him poor, was lying securely in the spirit beast bag at this moment, looking like there was nothing wrong.

He tried to use the spirit beast contract in his body to control the Skyfire Peng, but found that this guy just shook a little and didn't move, and never woke up as Song Qingming had imagined. He could only shake his head helplessly.

"It's been sleeping for more than ten days. Even if it really ate something wrong, logically it should have been digested. It shouldn't be like this. Hongyu, after so long, can you not see what's wrong with it at all?"

Li Hongyu had followed Huang Siyuan for so many years and often helped her take care of the Skyfire Peng. Over the years, she had also learned beast-taming skills. To say that the beast-taming level of the few beast tamers in the Song family was not necessarily higher than hers.

Facing Song Qingming's sincere inquiry, although Li Hongyu also wanted to help, her own ability was really limited. After studying for so long and flipping through many books, she found nothing. She could only shake her head helplessly at Song Qingming.

Seeing that Li Hongyu had indeed tried her best, Song Qingming nodded and thought for a while before saying: "Then let it be. I'll take it to other places to ask and see what's wrong with this guy and how to wake it up."

After leaving Xianfeng Building, Song Qingming took the Skyfire Peng and searched around the marketplace, asking several famous beast tamers in Qinghefang. The result was a bit unexpected to Song Qingming. These people were all the best beast tamers in Qinghefang, and without exception, none of them could see what was wrong with the Skyfire Peng.

In the end, Song Qingming returned to the Song family shop helplessly. Now that even a first-tier high-grade beast tamer was helpless, he could only go to Guiyunfang to find someone with a higher level to see if there was any way to wake up the Skyfire Peng. Before leaving, he thought of asking Shi Chun first where there was a second-tier or higher beast tamer in Guiyunfang to see if he could wake up the Skyfire Peng.

Hearing Song Qingming ask about a second-tier beast tamer, Shi Chun smiled in surprise and replied: "Hehe! To find a second-tier beast tamer, there is actually one in our Qinghe County. For the Supreme Elder to go to Guiyunfang for this matter, it is really going far to seek what is near."

"There is a second-tier beast tamer in Qinghe County? I don't know. Shi, tell me quickly." Hearing Shi Chun say this, Song Qingming was surprised. He knew almost all the famous beast tamers in Qinghe County, and he hadn't heard of anyone whose beast-taming level had reached the second tier. Song Qingming asked Shi Chun with a puzzled face.

"When I was in Fengtou Mountain, I heard that Senior Ma is a second-tier beast tamer. A disciple under him has always had a good relationship with me. I once heard him tell me with my own ears that Senior Ma had even taken action to subdue a second-tier Fierce Wind more than ten years ago. Being able to do this, I think his beast-taming level should have reached the second tier. Qinghefang is only six hundred miles away from Fengtou Mountain. Why not go there and ask first?"

"You are right. It's fortunate that I came to ask you first, otherwise, I would really have gone far to seek what is near and run directly to Guiyunfang as you said."

Hearing Shi Chun mention Senior Ma of Fengtou Mountain, Song Qingming immediately knew who he was talking about, and a smile appeared on his face.

This person's name was Ma Boshan, one of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators sent by the Xiaoyao Sect to guard and manage the Geng Metal mine there. This person had a good relationship with Lu Yuanfeng, who was stationed in Qinghefang before, and could be considered a relatively hospitable person. After he arrived at Fengtou Mountain, Song Qingming had also met him twice.

If Ma Boshan could really find a way to help wake up the Skyfire Peng, it would save him a lot of trouble. Otherwise, Song Qingming would have to make a special trip to Guiyunfang to deal with this matter, which would delay at least seven or eight days back and forth.

After getting Shi Chun's guidance, Song Qingming didn't rush to set out, but specially arranged for people to prepare some gifts for Ma Boshan before taking the Skyfire Peng to visit the Fengtou Mountain mine.
