Chapter 500

Song Yuanxue's cultivation talent is average. Although she has the full support of the family, her chance of successfully establishing Foundation is still a bit worse than the previous several Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Song family. For Song Yuanxue's seclusion to impact the Foundation Establishment realm this time, Song Qingyu and others have always been very worried in their hearts.

Seeing that Song Qingming's tone was very confident about Song Yuanxue's successful Foundation Establishment, Song Qingyu also felt relieved.

Since Song Qingming went into seclusion, Song Qingyu has spent a lot of energy to guide Song Yuanxue personally for more than a year. She has long regarded her as half of her disciple. Among all the people in the Song family, Song Qingyu should be the one who hopes most that she can succeed in this seclusion for Foundation Establishment.

Two months later, in the Song family council hall.

Looking at Song Yuanxue, whose momentum has been renewed from head to toe, the several Foundation Establishment Elders of the Song family are also overjoyed.

This seclusion for Foundation Establishment took nearly four months before Song Yuanxue successfully established Foundation and broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm. Except for Song Qingming back then, she was the one who spent the longest time in Foundation Establishment among the several Foundation Establishment Elders of the Song family, which also made everyone worried for a long time at the beginning.

After experiencing the hardships of Foundation Establishment, Song Yuanxue was also secretly lucky in her heart. She almost fell at the first pass of Foundation Establishment in this seclusion. Even with the protection of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the pain of body-tempering and marrow-cleansing that lasted for dozens of days almost made Song Yuanxue give up Foundation Establishment herself.

Song Yuanxue is different from the other several Foundation Establishment Elders of the Song family. Since she started cultivating, she has always been in the clan studying spiritual planting techniques, and has almost never participated in hunting demon beasts outside. Her experience in fighting with others is also pitifully small, and she has not experienced any life-and-death crisis.

Such a plain cultivation experience also made Song Yuanxue panic a bit when facing the pass of Foundation Establishment marrow-cleansing and body-tempering. Fortunately, there was Song Qingyu's guidance for more than a year in advance, which allowed Song Yuanxue to grit her teeth and stabilize her mind after adapting to the pain, and finally survived this pass dangerously.

The technique Song Yuanxue cultivates is the same as Song Qingyu's, which is also a water-attributed technique. She inhaled more water-attributed spiritual energy into her body during Foundation Establishment, which will be slightly helpful when repairing the flesh, meridians, and blood vessels after body-tempering. Although it takes a slightly longer time, as long as she survives the first period of time, the later body-tempering will be relatively smooth.

Because the spiritual vein of Mount Funiu is only second-tier top-quality, it is already insufficient in spiritual energy to support several Foundation Establishment cultivators such as Song Qingming and Song Qingyu. After Song Yuanxue successfully established Foundation, she simply stayed on Mount Jingyuan to cultivate.

After turning to the path of alchemy, because Huang Siyuan is already a Foundation Establishment cultivator, learning the path of alchemy is much faster than ordinary Qi Condensation cultivators. With the supply of sufficient resources, she became a first-tier top-quality alchemist in just a few years. She is also the cultivator in the Song family who has the most hope of advancing to a second-tier alchemist at present.

Seeing Song Yuanxue, the latest junior of the Song family to establish Foundation, the two elders, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, were also very happy. Both of them gave her a second-tier item. In addition, Song Qingyu specially gave Song Yuanxue a second-tier mid-grade spiritual talisman she had drawn not long ago for self-defense.

Song Yuanfang was originally a refiner. After his injuries were healed, with the help of Song Newde, he also successfully broke through this technique on his body to the second tier, becoming the second second-tier refiner of the Song family.

Song Qingyu, who specializes in talisman-making, took advantage of the many second-tier demon beast materials that could be used for talisman-making in the family's Tibetan Gold Pavilion in the past few years, and has also successfully drawn several second-tier mid-grade spiritual talismans, becoming a second-tier talisman-maker.

Huang Siyuan has already promoted her spiritual chef technique to the second tier. However, the role of this technique in Qinghe County and even the entire Wei State is relatively limited. Therefore, in recent years, Huang Siyuan has gradually given up on improving her spiritual chef technique and turned to the technique of alchemy.

Except for them, Song Yuanli, who also specializes in talisman-making, has not yet broken through his cultivation technique to the second tier because he has been focusing on his cultivation speed over the years and has neglected the improvement of his cultivation technique.

Although the two cultivation techniques of spiritual chef and alchemy are very different, there are still many commonalities. Both are relatively suitable for cultivators who cultivate fire-attributed techniques, and have high requirements for the cultivator's ability to control the heat when refining spiritual objects. These two requirements are exactly what Huang Siyuan possesses.

In addition to Song Yuanxue who just established Foundation, the Song family now has inheritance of second-tier or higher in the four relatively important cultivation techniques of formation, talisman, refining, and spiritual planting. Just wait for Huang Siyuan to break through and become a second-tier alchemist, and the Song family's foundation in these aspects can catch up with those old-brand cultivation families in the Wei State.

The cultivation techniques of several Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Song family have also made considerable progress over the years. Song Qingming, who has entered the Jin Dan stage, has also steadily improved his formation and talisman-making levels to second-tier top-quality.

The Song family now has two second-tier spiritual veins. In order not to share the spiritual energy of the family's several Old Ancestors, many low-tier cultivators have also moved to Mount Jingyuan under the arrangement of Song Qingyu and others in the past few years.

The family has added a new Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the Song family naturally wants to celebrate it properly. Just when everyone was preparing to hold a Foundation Establishment celebration for Song Yuanxue, Song Qingming suddenly received a secret sound transmission letter from the Xiaoyao Sect, and then he rushed to Mount Guyang alone a few days later.

The person who sent a letter to invite Song Qingming to come urgently from Mount Guyang to Mount Funiu this time was Yao Ganshu, the Sect Master of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Yao Ganshu mentioned in the letter that a large-scale trading society is going to be held in the Wu Guo in the southeast of the Wei State next month. The Xiaoyao Sect had just received an invitation not long ago, and Yao Ganshu was preparing to take several Jin Dan Elders in the sect to the Wu Guo to participate in this trading society, so he specially sent a letter to invite Song Qingming.

Since advancing to the Jin Dan stage, Song Qingming has not left the Wei State for these years. The only place where he has the opportunity to exchange for spiritual objects useful to him is the Xiaoyao Sect Merit Pavilion. He has long had the idea of going to other places to see. After receiving Yao Ganshu's letter, Song Qingming prepared and rushed to the Xiaoyao Sect immediately.

By the time Song Qingming rushed to Yao Ganshu, several Jin Dan Elders of the sect had already arrived one step ahead.

In addition to Yao Ganshu and his several Foundation Establishment disciples, the Jin Dan Elders going to the Wu Guo this time also included Li Wutong, Chu Fengping, and Chen Xuanxin, as well as Bai Yuxian who arrived last.

After the ten people boarded the third-tier top-quality flying boat taken out by Yao Ganshu, this blue flying boat soon turned into a spiritual light and left Mount Guyang.

There are more than 30 large and small countries around the Fuyun Mountain Range. There are only eight large countries with Nascent Soul sects, and the Xiaoyao Sect of the Wei State is one of them. The Wu Guo that Song Qingming and the others are going to now is also a large country with a Nascent Soul sect.

The Wu Guo is located in the southeast of the Wei State and is a relatively large country among the dozens of countries around the Fuyun Mountain Range. The cultivation world here is controlled by the Nascent Soul sect, the Star Sect. The overall strength of the Star Sect is 30% stronger than that of the Xiaoyao Sect. There are now two Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, and it is currently the strongest sect among so many sects around the Wei State.

The journey from Mount Guyang to the Seven Star Workshop where the Star Sect holds the trading society is long, and it also needs to cross the Taiyuehu of tens of thousands of miles. Even if they take this third-tier top-quality flying boat of Yao Ganshu, Song Qingming and others still need to spend about a month to arrive.

Along the way, except for Yao Ganshu whose injuries have not yet fully recovered, several Jin Dan cultivators including Song Qingming need to take turns to control the flying boat with magic power and control the direction of progress.

Because they have to pass through Taiyuehu, which is occupied by demon beasts, in addition to controlling the flying boat, everyone has to be careful to guard against the harassment of demon beasts below at all times. There are many high-tier demon beasts in Taiyuehu, and there are two powerful Demon Emperors in the depths of the lake bottom. This is also a considerable disaster for the surrounding countries.

However, fortunately, the demon beasts in Taiyuehu are all water-attributed demon beasts, which prefer to stay in the lake. Unlike demon beasts in other places, they will not invade the human territory for no reason. Only when the northern border demon beast turmoil occurs will there be demon beasts in Taiyuehu actively coming out to harass the surrounding countries.

These demon beasts stay in Taiyuehu on ordinary days, which seems not so scary. However, if any cultivator dares to accidentally enter their territory, these demon beasts will also not sit down and reason with you.

Fortunately, the Xiaoyao Sect has many Jin Dan cultivators this time. As long as they don't encounter those powerful Great Demon Kings, Song Qingming and others on the flying boat don't need to take ordinary Demon Kings who dare to block the way into their eyes.

After half a month, after dismissing more than ten waves of demon beasts that came to harass, everyone successfully passed through Taiyuehu without encountering those difficult Great Demon Kings, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The six Jin Dan cultivators who came out together from the Xiaoyao Sect this time, except for Yao Ganshu, the Sect Master, who could not take action at will because of his injuries.

The other five people, only Song Qingming, who had just established Core Formation, was slightly weaker, and the others were experts above the Jin Dan mid-stage. It is precisely because of this that they have enough confidence to cross Taiyuehu. Otherwise, if they took a detour, everyone would have to spend another half a month on the road.

After traveling by flying boat for nearly a month, Song Qingming and others finally entered the territory of the Wu Guo. Looking at the Wu Guo below, which has many rivers and a higher population density than the Wei State, a look of surprise appeared on Song Qingming's face.

Although the sphere of influence controlled by the Wu Guo cultivation world is not much different from that of the Wei State cultivation world, because this country has many spiritual veins and the land resources are very fertile, it can support more cultivators and mortals. Therefore, the overall number of cultivators in the Wu Guo is also much more than that in the Wei State.

Precisely because they control the resource-rich Wu Guo cultivation world, the Star Sect can rely on these resources to cultivate more cultivators, making the Star Sect the most powerful sect around.

After traveling in the territory of the Wu Guo for another three days, the flying boat finally landed in a large workshop in the middle of the Wu Guo, Seven Star Workshop, under the control of Chen Xuanxin.
