Chapter 311: Zhao Fenglian

Although Song Qingming is a cultivator of Qinghe County, occasionally in his spare time from cultivation, he would also go out to the nearby Jin Shan Market and Jiangling Market to wander around. Although he dare not say he has seen all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in Jiangling County, he still knows some of them.

After scanning through these people who boarded the boat together, Song Qingming somewhat unexpectedly discovered an acquaintance of his, the Foundation Establishment cultivator Cao Rongxue of the Cao family in Pingyang County.

More than ten years ago, when Song Qingming went to Pingyang County to purchase magic tools, he had already become acquainted with her. The magic tool Fire Pattern Sword in his hand was purchased from Cao Rongxue back then. Since then, every time Song Qingming went to Jin Shan Market to purchase spiritual objects, he would stop by the Cao family's Shuiyue Hall to see if there were any spiritual objects he needed.

After coming and going, Song Qingming and Cao Rongxue, who was responsible for managing the Cao family's industry in Jin Shan Market, also became familiar. Although they couldn't be considered very good friends, they were also very familiar.

Song Qingming had had many things to do these past few years and hadn't been to Jin Shan Market for a long time. At this moment, seeing Cao Rongxue on this flying boat heading to support the State of Lu, Song Qingming, who was alone, felt somewhat intimate and hurriedly took the initiative to step forward and wanted to greet her.

Before Song Qingming could get close, Cao Rongxue had already noticed him, bowed her hands and opened her mouth first: "Fellow Daoist Song, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"It's been many years since we last met. Is Fellow Daoist Cao doing well? Are you also going to the State of Lu together this time?"

Cao Wanjiang of the Cao family has a lifespan approaching its limit. It was heard last year that this Cao family head had already been bedridden. Logically speaking, at this time, Cao Rongxue, who is the next generation head of the Cao family, should be staying in the Cao family to manage affairs, and should not be following the Xiaoyao Sect to the front line of the State of Lu, thousands of miles away.

"The Clan Leader has ordered me to go out and gain experience. It just happens that there is this opportunity, so I took the initiative to come. This is Fellow Daoist Zhao from Mount Puyuan, who also came with me from Pingyang County."

Following Cao Rongxue was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Zhao Mengzhen, who was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator of Pingyang County. Pingyang County is the largest county in Jiangling County, and there are relatively many Foundation Establishment families there. It is precisely because of this that they were conscripted two Foundation Establishment cultivators at the same time this time.

Zhao Mengzhen is the only Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Zhao family. This person reached Foundation Establishment earlier than Song Qingming. Back then, during the beast turmoil, when Song Qingming was still a small Qi Condensation cultivator, he had seen him from afar. However, Zhao Mengzhen's cultivation talent can only be considered average. Until now, he has only cultivated to the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment, and is already inferior to Song Qingming, this latecomer.

"Fellow Daoist Song, it is fate that we travel together this time. Please take care of each other." Just after Cao Rongxue finished introducing, Zhao Mengzhen, whose face was already full of smiles, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed solemnly to Song Qingming.

"Easy to say, easy to say! Fellow Daoist Zhao is too polite!" Faced with Zhao Mengzhen's intentional leaning, Song Qingming just nodded lightly with indifference and didn't say much.

Although not very familiar, Song Qingming had also heard a little about Zhao Mengzhen's character. This person is also a "jack-of-all-trades" role like Lu Xingde. With Song Qingming's many years of experience in dealing with things, it is best not to have deep friendship with such people, otherwise, it wouldn't be strange if he suddenly sold you with a smile one day.

After Song Qingming and the others boarded the boat, the flying boat, under the manipulation of a few Xiaoyao Sect disciples, quickly flew up again and slowly entered the high altitude, heading south and rushing forward quickly, with a speed comparable to the sword flying of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Large flying boats like this are important tools for the Xiaoyao Sect to transport materials. Usually, aside from a few flying boats on fixed routes in the State of Wei, other large flying boats are rarely used. This time, because of the need to transport a large amount of materials to support the great war on the front line of the State of Lu, the Xiaoyao Sect had to take them out.

This flying boat that Song Qingming took, after starting from Jiangling Market, arrived at Danyang Market in the State of Wei a few days later. After loading a large batch of materials in Danyang Market, five or six more Foundation Establishment cultivators came up.

These people were the same as those who came up from Jiangling Market, and were also Foundation Establishment cultivators conscripted from near Danyang Market to head to the front line of the State of Lu. However, unlike Song Qingming and the others, their faces looked somewhat heavy after boarding the boat, and they clearly had a bit more worry about the unknown battlefield thousands of miles away.

After the flying boat walked south for a few days, it finally arrived at the Xiaoyao Sect's mountain gate, Mount Guyang. Here, the flying boat stopped for a full day. Aside from loading a pile of materials, many Xiaoyao Sect disciples came to the flying boat.

Among these Xiaoyao Sect disciples, there were not only Foundation Establishment cultivators but also many older Qi Condensation disciples, adding up to more than two hundred people, already filling the entire flying boat to the brim.

When it was about to set off again the next day, a yellow-clothed woman wearing a veil suddenly appeared on this flying boat without any warning.

This woman was small in stature. Although she was wearing a veil and could not see her full face, from the unique momentum emanating from her body, everyone present could also feel that this woman's background was not simple.

Just when Song Qingming and the others hadn't reacted yet, a few Xiaoyao Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators who recognized this person had already taken the lead to bow and salute the yellow-clothed woman.

"Pay respects to Senior Uncle Zhao!"

Other Xiaoyao Sect disciples seeing this situation also hurriedly followed and saluted. Although most of them were seeing this Jin Dan ancestor of the sect for the first time, they had already felt the powerful aura emanating from her body, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at her anymore.

Song Qingming, who followed and saluted, hearing the Xiaoyao Sect disciples' unified address, also quickly guessed this woman's identity.

There are only two female Jin Dan cultivators in the Xiaoyao Sect. Among them, the proud daughter of heaven, Bai Yuxian, Song Qingming had already seen, and it was obviously not this yellow-clothed woman, so only the other Jin Dan ancestor who had also reached Core Formation for many years remained.

The yellow-clothed woman is named Zhao Fenglian and is one of the two female Jin Dan cultivators of the Xiaoyao Sect. Although her age is less than twenty years different from that of the other, her current cultivation is far worse than the other's. Zhao Fenglian, until now, has only cultivated to the third layer of Jin Dan.

Bai Yuxian, who reached Core Formation decades earlier than her, now has a cultivation approaching the ninth layer of Jin Dan. As long as the Xiaoyao Sect can carefully support her in the future, she has a great possibility of breaking through to the Soul Transformation realm. And Zhao Fenglian, since reaching Core Formation, her cultivation has been bumpy and slow in progress. In the future, she will have no hope of reaching Soul Transformation. It would be very good for her to raise her cultivation to the late stage of Jin Dan.

After Zhao Fenglian waved her hand, she turned around and said softly to everyone: "The matter is urgent, no need for more courtesies, set off quickly!"

At the order of this Jin Dan ancestor, the flying boat quickly rose into the sky again, directly turned its direction, and headed towards the State of Lu in the southeast quickly.
