Chapter 462

Facing Song Qingyu's doubt, Song Qingming smiled slightly. His right hand gently brushed over the jade pendant hanging at his waist, and soon a short cyan sword appeared in Song Qingming's hand. Then, under Song Qingming's spell control, it flew to the front of Song Qingyu.

Looking at the magic treasure "Qingliu Sword" that appeared in front of her, Song Qingyu finally fully confirmed the fact that Song Qingming had succeeded in Core Formation, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

After Song Qingming went out for Core Formation back then, although Song Qingyu did not know where he had gone for Core Formation, she had secretly gone out to inquire about whether anyone in various parts of Wei Guo had formed a core in recent years.

There are nearly a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators in Wei Guo. In large markets like Guiyun Market and Yangshan Market, foreign Foundation Establishment cultivators occasionally rent cave dwellings to form cores, and some people have triggered Core Formation phenomena in recent years.

But in these years, Song Qingyu had run to many places and had also inquired at Guiyun Market and Yangshan Market several times, but she had not heard any news of anyone succeeding in Core Formation. In her heart, she had long since not held much hope for Song Qingming's success in Core Formation.

Now seeing Song Qingming truly break through to the Golden Core realm, facing this sudden surprise, Song Qingyu felt as if she were in a dream.

Back then, Song Qingming went out alone and succeeded in Foundation Establishment. Although he also experienced thousands of hardships, it only caused some sensation in Qinghe County for a short time. After all, as long as one is lucky enough to get a Foundation Establishment Pill, everyone has a chance at Foundation Establishment.

But Core Formation for a cultivator is different. This is not something that can be achieved just by luck. In the past hundred years in Wei Guo, there have been no less than a hundred people who have cultivated to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment and attempted Core Formation. Apart from Feng Yangde, who formed a false core at Tuoyun Mountain, only Chen Xuanxin of the Carefree Sect successfully broke through to the Golden Core realm. It can be seen how high the difficulty of the Core Formation hurdle is for a cultivator.

Slowly calming down her excited mood, Song Qingyu asked again, "Seventh Brother, I went out to look for you several times in these years, but there was no news at all, and I haven't heard of anyone forming a core anywhere in these years. Where exactly did you go for Core Formation all these years?"

"Qingyu, I know you have many questions in your heart now. Indeed, many things have happened to me over these years, and it is not clear in a few words. If you have anything to say, let's talk slowly after we get home!"

Seeing that Song Qingming did not want to say much here, Song Qingyu nodded obediently and followed Song Qingming back to Mount Funiu.

After returning to the Song family, facing Song Qingyu, who was following closely behind him and couldn't wait for a moment, Song Qingming could only patiently spend more than an hour slowly telling her about some of the processes of his Core Formation.

In addition to detailing the process of his Core Formation and some of the Core Formation spiritual items he had obtained earlier, Song Qingming also told Song Qingyu the specific location of his Core Formation. Song Qingming had already told Huang Siyuan about these things when he first returned to the Song family.

Learning that Song Qingming had succeeded in Core Formation in the depths of the Fuyun Mountain Range, Song Qingyu was also full of surprise. Fortunately, Song Qingming made up a story for her, claiming that there was a powerful restrictive barrier in that cave dwelling, and coupled with the fact that he was not discovered by a powerful demon king, he was able to guard himself and succeed in Core Formation.

Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan had not been to that cave dwelling at the bottom of the pool, so they naturally did not know the specific situation there, and they would not doubt what Song Qingming said too much. Moreover, such secret matters related to personal Core Formation, even if Song Qingming was unwilling to tell them, they would not be able to ask.

The Carefree Sect is located on Tiangu Peak in the middle of the Guyang Mountain Range, where there is a very solemn and tall palace called the Carefree Palace.

In the palace, six or seven figures were gathering at this moment. These people all had a hint of golden light floating on their bodies, and they were all Golden Core cultivators with successful cultivation.

Apart from the Sect Master Yao Qianshu, who was still recovering from his injuries, and Bai Yuxian, who was in seclusion to break through her cultivation realm, all the Golden Core Elders of the Carefree Sect who were in Wei Guo had now gathered in the Carefree Palace.

At this moment, these Golden Core Elders, who were usually majestic, were all standing respectfully below, looking carefully at a man in white standing on the stage with his hands behind his back.

This man in white was none other than the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the Carefree Sect, the Supreme Elder Li Mufeng.

The reason these core cultivators of the Carefree Sect gathered together was that the Carefree Sect had received a piece of news that shocked them not long ago: someone in an ordinary immortal cultivation family under the Carefree Sect had actually succeeded in Core Formation.

Compared to other places, the immortal cultivation resources in Wei Guo are relatively barren. Although there are many immortal cultivation families under the sect, in these hundreds of years, apart from the Ma family of Iron Immortal Castle, no other immortal cultivation family has produced a Golden Core cultivator.

Many Elders of the Carefree Sect who heard this news, including Li Mufeng, were full of surprise at this moment. If it weren't for the fact that True Person Guangling, who explored this news, had repeatedly confirmed that this matter was true, they would still find it hard to believe in their hearts.

Li Mufeng looked at the people below and paced slowly, saying, "You have all heard what Guangling just said. Do you have any views on this matter of Song Qingming's Core Formation? Let's all talk about it!"

Hearing Li Mufeng speak, Chu Fengping, who had dealt with Song Qingming a few years ago, stood out first and said, "Senior Uncle Li, I dealt with this Song Qingming a few years ago.

Back then, he came to Guyang Mountain for Core Formation and exchanged a Tier 3 spiritual herb from me for a 'Jade Dust Pill.' I remember that I thought this child had good aptitude at the time and even specially gave him a 'Demon-Repelling and Evil-Suppressing Talisman' to encourage him. I just didn't expect that this child would actually succeed in Core Formation now, which really surprised me a bit."

"Oh! So he exchanged the Core Formation spiritual item from you. Does anyone else among you have dealt with him?" Li Mufeng nodded slowly and asked the others.

Hearing the three words Song Qingming, Li Wutong initially just felt a bit familiar, until just now did he remember that Song Qingming was the Qi Refining cultivator who had exchanged a Foundation Establishment Pill from him back then, so he hurriedly stood out and told the story.

Coupled with True Person Guangling adding some news about the Song family, most of the cultivation path that Song Qingming had experienced over the past hundred years or so was soon displayed in Li Mufeng's eyes.

Seeing that Li Mufeng was still deep in thought, Li Wutong said again, "Senior Uncle Li, now that the demon beast unrest is approaching, Sect Master Senior Brother is still recovering from his injuries and cannot make a move, and the sect is also very lacking in high-level cultivators. Since this Song Qingming comes from a vassal family of the sect, it seems there is no big problem now.

I think the sect can try to see if it can directly incorporate him into the sect. This will not only enhance the sect's strength, but having one more Golden Core cultivator will also add a helping hand for us to deal with the demon beast unrest next."

Just as Li Wutong's voice fell, True Person Guangling, who had always been at odds with him secretly, immediately shook his head and said:

"Junior Brother Li's words are wrong. Although Song Qingming's background seems to have no problem, the speed of this person's cultivation over the years can also be seen to be somewhat abnormal. I am afraid there may be other experts pointing him in the background. Incorporating him into the sect so rashly is afraid that it will bring hidden dangers to the sect.

Moreover, Song Qingming himself is also a family cultivator in Qinghe County. The arrival of the northern demon beast unrest will inevitably affect this place. Even if Song Qingming is not yet a cultivator of our Carefree Sect, he cannot just sit on the sidelines. No matter what, we can still make use of him."

Hearing that the two had different opinions again, Zhao Fenglian to the side hurriedly stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over, saying, "Senior Brother Guangling's considerations also have some truth. Although Song Qingming's background has no problem, his Core Formation is indeed somewhat suspicious. Introducing him into the sect so rashly at this time is indeed somewhat too hasty.

But if we want him to work for the sect sincerely, not giving him some sweetness will certainly make people feel cold toward the sect. I think we can compromise between the ideas of the two Senior Brothers: first recruit Song Qingming into the sect as a guest elder, and wait until Senior Uncle Li has observed him for a period of time and feels it is appropriate before incorporating him into the sect."

Hearing what Zhao Fenglian said, Li Mufeng immediately nodded with a softened expression, expressing his agreement.

"Hmm! Fenglian's idea is feasible, so let's do it this way. Fengping, you have dealt with Song Qingming and have helped him before, so I think it will be hard for you and Fenglian to make a trip to Qinghe County.

Song Qingming has only just formed his core, so he must have some needs. The sect has recruited guest elders before; as long as you tell him these benefits directly, I think he should agree.

Also, after you two see Song Qingming, take the opportunity to try and see if you can find out the detailed situation of his Core Formation."

"Respectfully follow Senior Uncle's orders!"

——

On Mount Funiu, Song Qingming was leisurely tasting the spirit tea brewed by Huang Siyuan herself in the cave dwelling on the mountaintop, and there were some delicious pastries on the stone table beside him.

Song Qingming, who had been out for Core Formation for many years, had not tasted these delicious things for a long time. Seeing the table of delicious spiritual items that Huang Siyuan had specially prepared for him, he was also very happy in his heart.

After cultivating for more than a hundred years, Song Qingming had finally succeeded in Core Formation after experiencing hardships. Now that he had achieved success in his cultivation, he could also enjoy a few days of comfortable life.

Just as Song Qingming picked up a piece of pastry and wanted to put it into his mouth, a sound-transmission talisman suddenly flew into the cave dwelling and fell into his hand. Seeing that it was an urgent high-grade sound-transmission talisman sent by the family, Song Qingming put down the pastry in his hand, stood up, and opened the sound-transmission talisman to take a look, then revealed a look of surprise.

Having returned to Mount Funiu for only a few days, Song Qingming had only enjoyed two days of comfortable life on the mountain, but he did not want the peace on Mount Funiu to be broken again by two people who suddenly came to visit the Song family.

In the Song family council hall, Song Qingming, who had just hurried over from the cave dwelling on the mountaintop, saw the two Golden Core cultivators of the Carefree Sect sitting in the guest hall, and immediately showed a look of surprise, hurriedly stepping forward to bow in salute.

"Qingming, greetings to the two Seniors!"
