Chapter 499

Northwest of the Wei State, Mount Tuoyun.

As the smoke of the demon beast turmoil slowly dissipated, the number of cultivators near the Fuyun Mountain Range slowly increased. Many rogue cultivators who had temporarily fled to the south of the Wei State to take refuge had slowly returned to the north.

Since Chen Jinliang and the Xiaoyao Sect reached an agreement more than 30 years ago, it didn't take long for both sides to rebuild a larger new workshop on the basis of the original workshop of Mount Tuoyun.

This workshop stretches from Jin Yun Pavilion to the west for an entire mountain ridge. Although its size cannot catch up with large workshops like Guiyun Workshop and Yangshan Workshop, it is already a rare large workshop in the Wei State, attracting countless rogue cultivators in the north of the Wei State to come here to buy and sell spiritual objects.

On the main street of Tuoyun Workshop, a teenager in his teens shuttled through the dense crowd nimbly, then walked into a pill shop with ease, then carefully opened the small cloth bag at his waist, took out two spirit stones from it, and placed them in front of the shop owner.

"Still five Rejuvenation Pills. Has your mother's injury been better recently?" The shopkeeper of the pharmacy looked at the spirit stones on the table and asked the teenager with concern.

The teenager, whose appearance was still very green, curled his lips and did not answer directly, but nodded slightly.

Seeing a look of disappointment on the teenager's face, the shopkeeper sighed lightly, took out a white porcelain bottle from the back cabinet, poured out five yellow pills, counted them, and then took out an empty bottle to pack the pills and handed them to the teenager.

"There are many people on the street, you must not run too fast, and the pills must be kept well."

"Thank you, Uncle Liu, I know!" After the teenager took the pills in the bottle, he bowed slightly and walked out of the shop quickly.

Hearing his mother's call, the teenager hurriedly put down the spiritual rice he had just picked up, smiled, came to the bed, and leaned beside his mother.

"Mother, it seems that Seventh Brother's seclusion cultivation has reached a critical moment. Yuanfang, you go and call someone to start the mountain-protecting formation, let the law enforcement team guard the mountain gate. From now on, everyone on the mountain can only enter and not exit, and no one is allowed to approach the top of the mountain, nor is anyone allowed to discuss this matter at will."

"Mother, I have already bought the Rejuvenation Pills. I will put them on the table for you first, and I will go to cook first."

After coming out of the workshop, the teenager walked a long way after turning around, and finally came to a cave dwelling at the foot of the mountain where rogue cultivators of Mount Tuoyun often rented.

"Don't be busy first, Yuanhao, come here, I want to talk to you." Hearing the teenager's voice, the woman lying on the sickbed turned over and sat up, smiling and beckoning to the teenager on the side.

When Song Qingyu arrived at the east side of the top of Mount Funiu, a figure had already arrived here one step ahead. After seeing Song Qingyu walking over, Song Yuanfang hurriedly bowed and said: "Just heard that someone on the mountain discovered a piece of spiritual light, I came up to take a look and found that it was transmitted from Seventh Uncle's cave dwelling."

After hearing Song Qingyu's instructions, Song Yuanfang responded and hurriedly left the place. Before long, the mountain-protecting formation on Mount Funiu lit up immediately.

Song Qingyu, who was sitting in the cave dwelling, felt the anomaly in the spiritual energy beside her. After opening her eyes and showing a look of surprise, she immediately ended her seclusion and walked out of her cave dwelling.

Looking at the green teenager in front of her, the woman coughed a few times and said slowly: "Yuanhao, originally there were some things that Mother didn't want to tell you so early, but you have spiritual roots, and sooner or later you will have to walk your own path. I can't be so selfish to keep you by my side and delay your future path."

——

On the top of Mount Funiu, on this day, the top of the mountain was suddenly filled with spiritual light, and even the passing white clouds were illuminated into gold.

Half a day later, the rosy clouds on the top of Mount Funiu finally slowly dissipated. Song Qingyu, who was sitting on the top of the mountain, discovered this situation and immediately came to the side of Song Qingming's cave dwelling. Just as she took out the sound transmission talisman and wanted to send it inside, the restriction at the door of the cave dwelling suddenly opened from inside, and Song Qingming with a smile on his face walked out from inside with big strides.

Although this cave dwelling looks relatively simple, the space inside is quite large. Two independent rooms were separated on both sides. In one of the rooms, a woman with a pale face, thin and haggard, was still lying on the bed.

"Seventh Brother, seeing you so happy, you have been in seclusion for such a long time, you must have broken through your cultivation, right?" After Song Qingyu finished speaking, she put away the sound transmission talisman in her hand and walked slowly toward Song Qingming.

"After being in seclusion for so long, it was not in vain for these two years. Today, I finally gained something. This Jin Dan stage cultivation is really impermanent. I didn't expect that I would be in seclusion for such a long time just to break through a small realm." Song Qingming nodded slightly and smiled.

After being in seclusion for more than two years, Song Qingming finally got his wish and successfully broke through to the Jin Dan second layer with the help of the "Bai Ludan". His cultivation can be considered to have taken a small step in the Jin Dan stage.

The effect of the third-tier mid-grade pill is indeed very domineering. Song Qingming spent most of his time in this seclusion breakthrough on refining the "Bai Ludan". Just this step alone took Song Qingming nearly a year to completely absorb and refine the pill's efficacy into his body.

This "Bai Ludan" almost added more than ten years of magic power to Song Qingming's body at once. Plus the assistance of refining more than ten mid-grade spirit stones, it didn't take long for the magic power in Song Qingming's body to successfully break through the realm and enter the Jin Dan second layer. This seclusion breakthrough was actually relatively smooth overall.

"Has Yuanxue started seclusion for Foundation Establishment there? I just broke through, will it have any impact on her?" After walking out of the cave dwelling, Song Qingming also immediately felt the spiritual energy outside, which seemed to be anomalous because of his breakthrough this time, so he hurriedly asked a question.

"Seventh Brother, rest assured, Yuanxue is not in seclusion on the mountain. I let her go to Mount Jingyuan. She started seclusion three months ago, and Yuanli is protecting her there."

"Hmm! Fortunately, you thought of it well and let her go to Mount Jingyuan in advance. I only know now that the Jin Dan stage cultivation breakthrough will have such a big impact. Next time I go into seclusion, the family must make more preparations and notify those cultivators who are anxious to go into seclusion and break through to go to other spiritual lands of the family to cultivate." Song Qingming nodded and smiled.

"The spiritual energy on Mount Funiu is not sufficient now. Last year, I discussed it with Yuanfang and the others. Now we have migrated some cultivators to Mount Jingyuan. Now that side has opened up a lot of spiritual fields and can accommodate many cultivators."

"I have been in seclusion for a long time, and I just want to go out for a walk. Qingyu, you go with me to Mount Jingyuan to see. Yuanxue has been in seclusion for three months, and you can see some situations."

After chatting with Song Qingyu for a few words, Song Qingming directly drove the second-tier flying boat on his body. Not long after, the two came to Mount Jingyuan southwest of Mount Funiu.

Since the Song family was promoted to a Jin Dan immortal clan, the Song family's sphere of influence has expanded to the entire Qinghe and Pingyang counties. In these two counties, except for the workshops and mineral veins now managed by the Xiaoyao Sect, all other spiritual veins are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Song family.

Mount Jingyuan is also a second-tier spiritual vein, very close to Mount Funiu, only less than 200 miles away. It was the spiritual mountain of the Liu family in Qinghe County back then.

More than a hundred years ago, because the matter of the water spirit fruit tree was exposed, the Liu family was directly wiped out by the Xiaoyao Sect, and Mount Jingyuan became a land without an owner. The Xiaoyao Sect directly assigned this second-tier spiritual vein to Qinghe Workshop for management.

For this second-tier low-grade spiritual vein of Mount Jingyuan, many cultivation families in Qinghe County have been coveting it for nearly a hundred years. It is just that Lu Yuanfeng, the Xiaoyao Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator who managed Qinghe Workshop at that time, was reprimanded by the sect because of the Liu family's matter, and he hated Mount Jingyuan very much in his heart.

In order to warn other cultivation families in Qinghe County, Lu Yuanfeng simply abandoned the spiritual vein of Mount Jingyuan. Even if many cultivation families who intended to occupy this spiritual mountain came to Qinghe Workshop to find Lu Yuanfeng to purchase Mount Jingyuan, they were all directly rejected by him. Over time, no one went to hit the idea of Mount Jingyuan again.

Until a hundred years later, because Song Qingming successfully established Core Formation and the Song family was promoted to a Jin Dan immortal clan, the Xiaoyao Sect divided the entire Qinghe County into the Song family's territory. Feng De, who managed Qinghe Workshop, in order to please Song Qingming, the sect's guest Elder, simply transferred all the ownerless spiritual veins of Qinghe Workshop to the Song family, including Mount Jingyuan, this second-tier low-grade spiritual vein.

Compared with other messy spiritual veins in Qinghe County, Mount Jingyuan not only has a second-tier spiritual vein quality, but also is very close to the Song family's Mount Funiu. This can be said to be a very good gift for the Song family.

Because it has been more than a hundred years, the spiritual fields on the spiritual vein of Mount Jingyuan have all been abandoned now. There are many low-tier demon beasts gathered on the mountain, and it has become a desolate place.

After obtaining the spiritual vein of Mount Jingyuan, the Song family immediately organized a demon hunting team, cleaned up the entire spiritual mountain under the leadership of Foundation Establishment Elder Song Yuanli, and then Song Qingming personally took action to arrange a second-tier mountain-protecting formation on Mount Jingyuan.

After more than ten years of operation by the Song family, the Song family has now stationed dozens of cultivators here and successively migrated tens of thousands of mortals over. The current Mount Jingyuan has long since restored its former human smoke, not worse than when the Liu family was there a hundred years ago.

Just after arriving at the foot of Mount Jingyuan, Song Yuanli, who had received the news and was waiting here, immediately greeted them and soon led Song Qingming and the two to the outside of a cave dwelling on the top of the mountain.

After scanning around the cave dwelling, Song Qingming said happily: "Looking at the spiritual energy fluctuations near the cave dwelling, they are very stable. Yuanxue should have successfully passed the body-tempering pass. It seems that her chance of successfully establishing Foundation this time is very high."

"Seventh Brother, this is really great!"

Hearing Song Qingming say this, Song Qingyu and Song Yuanli on the side also showed a look of joy. Their cultivation is only in the Foundation Establishment stage, and their sensitivity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not as keen as Song Qingming, the Jin Dan cultivator.
