Chapter 496

If he can only have such a cultivation speed in the Jin Dan stage, Song Qingming is afraid that he will not even have a chance to reach the Jin Dan late-stage in his life, and can only be like the many Jin Dan Elders of the Xiaoyao Sect, wasting his life in the Jin Dan stage.

If he wants to speed up his cultivation speed and have a chance to break through to Nascent Soul in the future, it is definitely not possible to stay in a place like the Wei State where cultivation resources are scarce. Song Qingming still has to find a way to look at other places in the future and take the initiative to go out to find those precious high-tier cultivation resources.

When Song Qingming came down from the third floor of the Merit Pavilion, Sect Master Yao Ganshu, who had received the news, finally rushed here after a long journey.

"Junior Brother Song, why didn't you inform me in advance when you came to the Merit Pavilion? It made you wait for me here for so long. This time, it really makes me, this Senior Brother, somewhat impolite."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Sect Master. I came to the Merit Pavilion this time just to exchange for some low-tier spiritual objects. I didn't expect that I would need to disturb Senior Brother Sect Master at the beginning, so I forgot to say hello in advance."

Since parting at Purple Star Workshop last time, Song Qingming had not seen Yao Ganshu for three years. Now seeing this Senior Brother Sect Master, Song Qingming also remembered the day Yao Ganshu fought for the Xiaoyao Sect. The scene of him saying goodbye to Yao Ganshu that day still seemed to be yesterday.

After returning to the sect to recuperate for a few years, Yao Ganshu's spirit and complexion had recovered a lot, but from his slightly pale face and the gray hair coiled on the top of his head, it could still be seen that his injuries had not been fully recovered.

"Haha! Junior Brother Song is already one of our own, so there is no need to be so polite. The demon beast turmoil has just passed, and the various spiritual objects in the sect's Merit Pavilion are indeed somewhat tight. After discussing with Senior Brother Li, I temporarily set the rules. During this period, I will personally allocate some spiritual objects in the Merit Pavilion. I hope Junior Brother will not blame me."

"I just heard them send a letter saying that Junior Brother wants to exchange for some pills and spirit stones in the Merit Pavilion this time, right? There are still some spirit stones in the sect's treasury. If Junior Brother doesn't exchange much, it is not a big problem. However, there are indeed not many Foundation Establishment Pills left in the treasury now. If Junior Brother is not in a hurry, can you wait for another year?"

"That would be great, then Junior Brother will thank Senior Brother Sect Master here first."

After returning to Qinghe County from Mount Guyang, Song Qingming gathered all the Elders of the family in Qinghe Workshop and discussed with everyone about improving the family's spiritual vein.

"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother Sect Master." Song Qingming bowed and said goodbye to Yao Ganshu with a smile.

"The sect will arrange for a flying boat to go to Shangyang State to purchase spiritual medicine in two months. Once the missing auxiliary spiritual medicine is matched, a batch of Foundation Establishment Pills can be refined immediately. I will help you reserve one in the Merit Pavilion now, and then send someone to send it to you when the time comes. Do you think this arrangement is okay?"

The only regret is that there is really no stock in the Merit Pavilion for the pills needed for the daily cultivation of Jin Dan cultivators. If Song Qingming wants them, it is estimated that he will have to wait for two or three years before the sect's Alchemy Pavilion can refine a batch again.

After having the nod of Sect Master Yao Ganshu, Song Qingming successfully exchanged for several second-tier pills recommended by Chu Fengping before with the merit in his hand, and also brought dozens of mid-grade spirit stones from the Merit Pavilion.

"Junior Brother Song, don't be anxious. After a while, Junior Brother Xuanxin and the others happen to have to go to the Wu State. I will say hello to them when the time comes and let them bring back more pills needed for cultivation. It will definitely not delay your daily cultivation, Junior Brother."

After helping Song Qingming exchange for the needed spiritual objects, Yao Ganshu personally sent him out of the Merit Pavilion and did not forget to comfort Song Qingming a few words.

Seeing that Yao Ganshu said there were no extra Foundation Establishment Pills in the sect's Merit Pavilion, Song Qingming originally had no hope, but later hearing Yao Ganshu say that the sect could refine new Foundation Establishment Pills in a year, this really made him have another unexpected joy.

Now the spiritual vein of Mount Funiu is only second-tier mid-grade, which is completely insufficient for Song Qingming's daily cultivation, so he can only stay in Qinghe Workshop temporarily. Improving the spiritual vein of the family's spiritual land after the demon beast turmoil has also become the biggest top priority for the entire Song family.

Originally, according to Song Qingming's idea, he wanted to directly upgrade it to a third-tier spiritual vein. However, if he wants to upgrade to a third-tier spiritual vein, he needs at least nearly 100,000 spirit stones. The Song family now, plus Song Qingming, really cannot gather so many spirit stones, so he can only retreat and seek the second best, upgrading the spiritual vein to second-tier top-quality first.

After his cultivation broke through to the Jin Dan stage, Song Qingming's talisman-making level and formation level have also been correspondingly improved. Plus he has a set of second-tier top-quality formation flags purchased from Mount Tuoyun back then, refining a second-tier top-quality gathering spirit formation is no longer a difficult task for Song Qingming now.

After spending half a year with the formation masters of the younger generation of the Song family, Song Qingming successfully arranged the gathering spirit formation on the top of Mount Funiu, and invested more than 20,000 spirit stones into the gathering spirit formation. As the gathering spirit formation continuously refined these spirit stones, the spiritual energy around Mount Funiu also began to rise rapidly.

Most of these more than 20,000 spirit stones were exchanged for spiritual objects rewarded to the Song family by the sect after the war ended. Since the end of the war at Jin Shan Workshop, the business in Qinghe Workshop has gradually improved. The shops in the hands of the Song family have not been out of stock of various demon beast materials in the past few years, and they have indeed earned a lot of spirit stones.

In addition, all the clansmen of the Song family, including Foundation Establishment Elders such as Song Qingyu, also generously contributed to gather the remaining spirit stones. Because of the demon beast turmoil, everyone in the family had more or less gained something, and they were much richer than before. It was also the first time that Song Qingming, the Jin Dan Chen Chen Laozu, did not have to pay out of his own pocket to contribute to the family.

A year later, as the spiritual energy on Mount Funiu gradually stabilized, Song Qingming immediately took Huang Siyuan and moved back. The return of the family's Jin Dan Chen Chen Laozu also made everyone in the Song family on Mount Funiu look a bit more festive.

To celebrate the upgrade of the family's spiritual vein, the Song family also specially held an internal family banquet, summoning the family cultivators who were outside back to Mount Funiu to celebrate properly.

Song Qingming and several family Foundation Establishment Elders sat on a platform newly built on the mountain not long ago, looking at the many joyful clansmen sitting below, one by one queuing up to toast these family Old Ancestors, and felt very emotional in their hearts.

In just a hundred years, the Song family has jumped from a small Qi Condensation family to a Jin Dan immortal clan that dominates the northeast of the Wei State, which is rare in the thousands of years of history of the Wei State.

Now the Song family, in addition to Song Qingming, the Jin Dan cultivator, has four Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than 100 Qi Condensation cultivators. Although the number of cultivators is still too small as a Jin Dan family, the Song family wins in that the entire family's cultivators are still relatively young, and there is still a lot of room for development in the future.

Song Qingming, the oldest Jin Dan Chen Chen Laozu, is now only 140 years old. According to the 500-600 years of lifespan of Jin Dan cultivators, the Song family still has at least 400 years of golden development time. It is also very possible to surpass the Ma family of Iron Immortal Fortress to become the number one cultivation family in the Wei State in the future.

After the tempering of this once-in-a-hundred-year demon beast turmoil, everyone in the Song family has grown up more or less. From several Foundation Establishment Elders to the cultivators below who have participated in the war against demon beasts, almost everyone has had considerable changes.

Among the four Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Song family, Song Qingyu is the oldest and also has the highest cultivation. At 130 years old, she should be able to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment ninth layer in a few years. Although there is still a distance from Core Formation for Song Qingyu now, her cultivation speed is not slower than those Foundation Establishment disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect. With the support of Song Qingming, the Jin Dan cultivator, she will also have a considerable chance of Core Formation in the future.

Huang Siyuan is more than ten years younger than Song Qingyu, and her cultivation speed is not much worse than Song Qingyu's. With the "Barrier-Breaking Pill" brought back by Song Qingming from the Xiaoyao Sect not long ago, Huang Siyuan is now not far from breaking through the Foundation Establishment eighth layer.

Although Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan are younger than Song Qingming, the three of them are considered to be cultivators of the same generation. As the cultivators of the Qing generation of the Song family have basically withdrawn from the historical stage of the family, the three of them are now the elders with the highest seniority in the family.

The other two Foundation Establishment Elders of the Yuan generation, Song Yuanli, broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage earlier, which has been more than 20 years. After participating in several major battles after the demon beast turmoil, Song Yuanli also had many insights into his state of mind in the battle. Not long after returning to Mount Funiu, his cultivation quickly broke through to the Foundation Establishment fifth layer.

Song Yuanli is the only dual-spirit root cultivator in the Song family, and he is also the fastest Foundation Establishment cultivator among the several Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Song family. Even Song Qingming, the Jin Dan Chen Chen Laozu, did not cultivate as smoothly as he did at his age. Song Yuanli, who was less than 60 years old, already had this cultivation. In terms of cultivation speed, he was slightly faster than the other Foundation Establishment Elders of the Song family.

Compared to Song Yuanli, who was smooth in his cultivation, his elder brother, Song Yuanfang, was much less lucky. Although Song Yuanfang was a few years older than Song Yuanli, he had not been in the Foundation Establishment stage for long. A few years ago, he was seriously injured by mistake in the demon beast turmoil, and his cultivation is still only at the Foundation Establishment first layer until now.

Fortunately, the healing pills brought back by Song Qingming from the Xiaoyao Sect a year ago had some effect, helping Song Yuanli save a few years of healing time. It is estimated that his injuries will be almost recovered in a few years.

Although Song Yuanfang is not as good as the other Elders in terms of cultivation speed, he has always been more mindful in managing the family. Especially after experiencing this demon beast turmoil and a life-and-death test, Song Yuanfang has become much more mature and steady than before. He is also one of the family juniors that Song Qingming, the Jin Dan Chen Chen Laozu, likes more.

In addition to the four Foundation Establishment Elders, other Qi Condensation cultivators in the family also suddenly emerged with many young talents after this demon beast war, entering Song Qingming's eyes.
