Chapter 406: Ownership of the Foundation Establishment Pill

Not only did Chen Laozu plan for many years, but the Xiaoyao Sect also took advantage of this opportunity to successfully extend their influence into the Mount Tuoyun market, taking a share of the interests from Chen Laozu, who had dominated Mount Tuoyun for many years.

However, in this way, no matter whether Chen Laozu's lifespan can hold up before the next beast chaos arrives, as long as the Xiaoyao Sect has an industry in the Mount Tuoyun market and has this layer of interest entanglement, if Mount Tuoyun really encounters a crisis, they probably won't ignore this spiritual mountain.

Since Chen Laozu occupied Mount Tuoyun for more than three hundred years, whether it was on weekdays or during the Northern Border beast chaos, the Xiaoyao Sect side basically didn't worry about the defense against beasts near Mount Tuoyun for these hundreds of years.

On the contrary, Chen Laozu not only guarded the Mount Tuoyun line himself over these years, but also helped support Tiexian Valley to resist the beasts. He could be said to be the biggest reliance for human cultivators in the northwest of Song Guo over these years.

Now that Chen Laozu's lifespan is not much left, although he has prepared some coping strategies in advance, the fate of this third-tier spiritual vein of Mount Tuoyun and those rogue cultivators who rely on this place is also very difficult to guess now.

After drinking with Fang Wuqian for half a day, Song Qingming left Mount Tuoyun directly early the next morning, bidding farewell to several Foundation Establishment cultivators like Feng Hede who were already familiar.

Now that the Yuchen Pill, Chen Laozu wanted to refine it, it would take a year or two to complete. Song Qingming couldn't stay here waiting all the time. Since leaving Qinghe County and coming to Mount Tuoyun, more than two months had passed, and he was also somewhat worried about some things at home.

After galloping for more than half a month, Song Qingming finally returned to Funiu Mountain smoothly. This trip took him nearly three months and encountered some dangerous things, but now he was finally back safely.

After returning to the mountain, Song Qingming first went to greet his eldest brother Song Qingshi, and then came directly to Song Qingyu.

During the time Song Qingming was away, all major events in the family were in the hands of Song Qingyu, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Fortunately, everything in the clan was normal, and there were not too many things that made her worry.

"Seventh Brother, you are finally back. I have been so busy during this time that I don't even have time for my own cultivation. If you didn't come back, I would have wanted to send a letter to urge you." During this time, besides dealing with various trivial matters in the clan, Song Qingyu also needed to help He Mengxin, who had already gone into seclusion to break through, to protect the law, which was really somewhat busy.

Seeing Song Qingyu complaining as soon as they met, Song Qingming didn't say much, and took out a bottle of elixirs from his storage bag and placed it in front of her with a smile.

"Although I didn't successfully buy a Foundation Establishment Pill on this trip, I got some elixirs to improve my cultivation. Is this enough to compensate you?"

Seeing the elixirs in Song Qingming's hand, Song Qingyu hurriedly took them happily and nodded with a smile, "I am just short of cultivation elixirs recently. Seventh Brother, you still understand me best."

"How long has that He sister of yours been in seclusion? After I left the mountain, didn't she go to other places?"

Hearing Song Qingming ask about He Mengxin, Song Qingyu rolled her eyes and shook her head, replying, "After you left, I accompanied He sister to go shopping at the foot of the mountain for a few days, and then she went into seclusion. Seventh Brother, why did you suddenly ask this?"

"Nothing, just happened to think of her and asked casually. It's rare for you to have such a close friend to come to the mountain as a guest, so don't neglect her."

Hearing Song Qingming say this, Song Qingyu responded with a smile, "It's rare for Seventh Brother to come and care about the two of us as soon as you come back. But you can rest assured about this. Although He sister and I haven't known each other for a long time, we have long been close friends. How can I neglect her?

I am also planning to go traveling in the East Sea with He sister after she breaks through her cultivation this time."

Hearing that Song Qingyu also wanted to go out traveling with He Mengxin, Song Qingming was slightly stunned, but didn't answer her immediately, and changed the subject directly.

"By the way, Qingyu, I want to hear your opinion on something I came to you for this time. The merit points of the family in the Merit Pavilion of the Xiaoyao Sect over these years can already be exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, I haven't decided who to give this Foundation Establishment Pill to. Since you are on the mountain now, you might as well tell me your views directly and let's discuss who to give the Foundation Establishment Pill to."

Hearing Song Qingming mention the Foundation Establishment Pill, Song Qingyu also became somewhat serious and said slowly, "In the clan now, there are more than a dozen Qi Refining late-stage cultivators. I don't know which few have already entered Seventh Brother's eyes. You might as well tell me directly, and I will help you pick one from them, how about it?"

Song Qingming smiled helplessly and said, "Xintang and Xinhe are both under sixty years old now, which can be considered the most suitable. Although others have also broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, their conditions are slightly worse than those two.

There is also Yuanli. You also know that this child is a dual-spirit root cultivator. However, he is still young now. It will take another ten or twenty years for him to cultivate to the ninth layer of Qi Refining. Currently, only the three of them are relatively suitable to take the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Xintang has a steady personality and can be used. However, his spirit root is not very good. Although Xinhe is a triple-spirit root cultivator, his personality is not decisive enough, which also has a great impact on Foundation Establishment.

I don't think either of them is very suitable. Should we just put the Foundation Establishment Pill away first and wait for Yuanli to see?"

Song Qingming nodded and said, "What you said is right. However, Yuanli is still young now. I don't know when he will be able to establish a foundation. After all, the Foundation Establishment Pill was exchanged with the family's merit points. It's impossible to hide it forever.

When everyone knows and asks, I, the clan leader, have been hiding the Foundation Establishment Pill privately from everyone. This is also somewhat unfair to them. It is better to make a decision as soon as possible."

"Since this is the case, then simply summon the eldest brother and several elders on the mountain to discuss it together! Listen to the thoughts of the eldest brother and them. Then Seventh Brother, you make the decision. No matter how you choose, I will support you."

After Song Qingming lowered his head and thought for a while, he said again, "Since you think so too, then notify the eldest brother, and everyone will discuss this matter in the council hall in two days! However, you don't need to accommodate my thoughts too much."

Although Song Qingyu has been traveling outside these years, she knows the younger generation in the family very well. Just as she said, whether it is Song Xintang or Song Xinhe, neither of them has a very high grasp of succeeding in Foundation Establishment in the end.

But now that the family has a Foundation Establishment Pill, but is reluctant to take it out, doing so is also equally inappropriate. After all, Foundation Establishment is related to a cultivator's lifelong path. No matter who it is, it is impossible to easily miss this opportunity.
