Chapter 506: Get His Wish, Song Changze Missing (Combined Chapter)

Among the group from the Xiaoyao Sect, except for Song Song Qingming and Chen Chen Xuanxin, who formed their cores later, the other veteran Golden Core cultivators all had third-tier flying magic tools. Although they might not all be comparable to the "Phantom Boat" on the stage, they were certainly enough for daily use, so they certainly did not want to participate in the competition for the spiritual boat on the stage.

The remaining Song Song Qingming and Chen Chen Xuanxin, because they formed their cores later, naturally did not have as much family wealth as these veteran Golden Core cultivators. Wanting to compete with so many Golden Core cultivators at the scene for the "Phantom Boat" was indeed somewhat difficult. It was precisely because he considered this point that Yao Yao Ganshu took the initiative to offer to lend them ten thousand spirit stones each.

"Many thanks, Sect Master Senior Brother!" Hearing Yao Yao Ganshu take the initiative to lend a helping hand, Chen Chen Xuanxin and Song Song Qingming were also happy. With the help of the sect, their hope of winning this spiritual item naturally increased a bit.

"Thirty thousand spirit stones."

"Thirty-one thousand spirit stones."

By the time Song Song Qingming and Chen Chen Xuanxin started bidding, the price of the "Phantom Boat" had already climbed rapidly past thirty thousand spirit stones. Song Song Qingming had long expected that the market price of a flying boat of this quality would not be lower than this price.

Having cultivated for so many years, Song Song Qingming had always wanted to possess a handy flying spiritual item. Although he had obtained a second-tier top-quality flying boat from the Merit Pavilion of the Xiaoyao Sect after forming his core, because the level of this boat was too low and it was not of much help to him, Song Song Qingming had also been looking for an opportunity to replace it over the years. Now, the "Phantom Boat" in front of him was a good choice.

However, Song Song Qingming was not the only one eyeing this "Phantom Boat" at the auction venue. To successfully obtain this spiritual item, it depended on who could offer more spirit stones.

"Thirty-four thousand spirit stones."

He thought that with his late-stage Golden Core cultivation and his background from a Nascent Soul sect, it was enough to fear no opponent in this auction who competed with him for spiritual items, so he quietly exerted pressure on Song Song Qingming and the other two competitors, wanting to use his influence to force them to retreat.

Seeing that the price of the "Phantom Boat" was already somewhat out of control, the blue-robed old man at the seventh layer of Golden Core seemed to be unable to sit still. He secretly sent a voice transmission to Song Song Qingming and two other cultivators who were competing for this item, wanting them to give up on this item.

"Junior Brother Song, don't worry about what that Linghu old ghost says. You don't have to worry at all. His Nine Yuan Sect is just a sect that has just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. We don't need to fear him. If you don't have enough spirit stones, I can lend you some more. Don't lose the prestige of our Xiaoyao Sect in front of everyone."

"Junior Brother Song, I don't have many spirit stones left on me. I won't participate in this item anymore. You can rest assured and bid."

The blue-robed old man at the late-stage of Golden Core naturally reacted quickly. He had been targeted by the Nascent Soul ancestor of the Star Sect sitting above, which also made him feel a huge pressure, scaring him into hurriedly changing his attitude.

Although the other party had profound cultivation, Song Song Qingming had now joined the Xiaoyao Sect and also had a Nascent Soul sect as his backer. Having received the support of Sect Master Yao Yao Ganshu, Song Song Qingming also had the confidence not to fear the threat of the blue-robed old man.

"The old man offers thirty-eight thousand spirit stones. Hehe! Fellow Daoists, I see that you don't have many spirit stones on you either. It's better not to compete so hard for this item. Why don't we make friends and let this item be yielded to the old man?"

Seeing that the price of the "Phantom Boat" had reached thirty-five thousand spirit stones, Chen Chen Xuanxin sighed and took the initiative to withdraw from this competition first. Although he had brought many spirit stones this time, he had spent a lot of them to win the magic treasure earlier, which made him have to choose to give up on this spiritual item now.

However, this small action of the blue-robed old man also fell into the eyes of the Star Sect Nascent Soul ancestor above. Seeing that he was not honest and was making small moves at the auction, and was still somewhat unrelenting, the Nascent Soul ancestor was also somewhat annoyed and immediately warned him with his spiritual sense.

"Hmph! Young man, you really don't know what's good for you, daring not to give the old man even this bit of face!" Hearing Song Song Qingming's bid, the blue-robed old man immediately stood up and glared fiercely at Song Song Qingming's location.

If Song Song Qingming were to shrink back now because of a word from the other party, in the future, others would certainly feel that their Xiaoyao Sect feared the power of the Nine Yuan Sect, and the prestige of the sect would inevitably be hit. Yao Yao Ganshu, as the sect master of the Xiaoyao Sect, naturally could not tolerate this.

Seeing that Song Song Qingming's expression changed immediately after receiving a voice transmission, Yao Yao Ganshu, who was beside him, also guessed that it was influenced by what the blue-robed old man opposite said, and hurriedly reminded Song Song Qingming.

In this auction hosted by the Star Sect, although nearly a hundred Golden Core cultivators came, most of them were from Golden Core sects in small surrounding countries or were rogue cultivators. By virtue of the strength of the Xiaoyao Sect as a Nascent Soul sect, they really didn't need to fear others here, except for the Star Sect, the host.

"Linghu old ghost, if you still want to bid, just say it directly. Don't use your power to suppress others here, otherwise, the Star Assembly will not welcome you in the future!"

After the blue-robed old man finished speaking, he sat back in his original position with a smile, and then secretly raised his hand to wipe a trace of cold sweat from his forehead.

"Thirty-nine thousand spirit stones!" Seeing that the other two Golden Core cultivators were somewhat hesitant and did not continue to bid, Song Song Qingming was not affected by the blue-robed old man and calmly shouted again.

Receiving the voice transmission from the blue-robed old man with a threatening tone, Song Song Qingming's face changed immediately, and he frowned slightly. He also didn't expect that this old fellow would rely on his cultivation to exert pressure on others at such an auction.

After being scolded by the Star Sect cultivator who presided over the auction, the blue-robed old man, who was originally fierce, stood in place for a while, then his face changed, and he smiled and cupped his hands at the bottom: "Fellow Daoist, don't blame me. Just now, I also wanted to take the opportunity to make more friends, which was a bit abrupt. If this friend of the Xiaoyao Sect likes this item, let it be yielded to him!"

When he stood up just now, the blue-robed old man immediately felt a powerful spiritual sense shining on him from above his head, making him feel as if he were being tightly watched by someone all over his body, and he didn't dare to move at all while standing in place.

This blue-robed old man was also an elder of a Nascent Soul sect. After seeing the appearance of the "Phantom Boat," the blue-robed old man took a fancy to this item at a glance. As a result, he encountered several strong opponents like Song Song Qingming during the bidding, raising the price of the "Phantom Boat" to a level he could not accept.

After Chen Chen Xuanxin withdrew from the competition, there were three other people competing with Song Song Qingming for this item. Two of them had cultivation bases similar to Song Song Qingming and looked like cultivators who had just formed their cores. The remaining one was a blue-robed old man. Although this person's cultivation had already reached the seventh layer of Golden Core, he still had a great interest in this third-tier low-grade flying boat, and the price climbed so high that he still showed no signs of giving up.

Although he didn't take Song Song Qingming and these early-stage Golden Core cultivators seriously, in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the blue-robed old man still didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he could only apologize somewhat depressed and honestly sit back in his seat.

After the blue-robed old man withdrew from the competition, the two people who had just withdrawn from the competition also felt that the price of the "Phantom Boat" was a bit high and did not continue to bid. Soon, Song Song Qingming also got his wish and obtained this spiritual item.

Before coming to the State of Wu this time, Song Song Qingming emptied the family's Treasury Pavilion and borrowed some spirit stones from several elders of the family, and he had gathered nearly forty thousand spirit stones on him.

After purchasing some spiritual items in the market and auctioning the "Jade Dust Pill" yesterday, Song Song Qingming had already spent five thousand spirit stones. The spirit stones he had left were originally somewhat insufficient. Fortunately, Yao Yao Ganshu agreed to lend him ten thousand spirit stones at the beginning, so Song Song Qingming still got his wish and obtained this spiritual item he wanted in his heart.

"Finally, congratulations to Fellow Daoist Song of the Xiaoyao Sect for successfully winning today's finale spiritual item, the 'Phantom Boat.' Today's auction has come to a successful conclusion. Please go back and rest early. Tomorrow, at the final auction, our sect will bring out many precious spiritual items. I hope everyone will not miss it!"

After exchanging spirit stones for the "Phantom Boat" at the auction backstage, Song Song Qingming only had a few thousand spirit stones left on him. Even if Song Song Qingming saw other spiritual items he wanted at tomorrow's auction, he would probably only be able to feast his eyes on them.

After retrieving the spiritual items he won, Song Song Qingming just returned to the second floor, and several fellow disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect also took turns to congratulate him with happy faces.

"Junior Brother Song, I just took a careful look. The materials used for this flying boat are indeed good. It was refined from the skeleton of a third-tier mid-grade water-attribute monster beast. If you have a chance in the future to find a third-tier mid-grade or higher water-attribute crystal, please ask Senior Uncle Li to take action. Perhaps there is still a chance to re-refine it to third-tier mid-grade."

Hearing Yao Yao Ganshu say this beside him, Song Song Qingming was first somewhat surprised and happy, and then could only nod helplessly.

Although Song Song Qingming had joined the Xiaoyao Sect and became a guest elder of the sect, as long as he was willing to take out some spiritual items and ask Supreme Elder Li Mu to take action to help with a small favor, it shouldn't be a difficult thing.

It was just that the third-tier mid-grade or higher water-attribute crystal that Yao Yao Ganshu mentioned for upgrading the "Phantom Boat" was not a spiritual item that could be easily found. In the entire Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world, it had only appeared in the depths of Taiyue Lake. Even if Song Song Qingming could know the exact location, he didn't have the courage to go to such a place where monster kings were rampant.

However, Song Song Qingming didn't care too much about this in his heart. His biggest purpose this time was to have a handy third-tier flying magic tool. Although the "Phantom Boat" in front of him was only third-tier low-grade, it was enough to meet his current needs.

After returning to the Mount Guyang Pavilion, Song Song Qingming, who had just obtained the "Phantom Boat," was in a very good mood. He played with this spiritual item he had just obtained all night and didn't even take care of his daily cultivation.

Although he knew that he didn't have many spirit stones on him, Song Song Qingming still did not miss the final day of the auction. Regardless of whether he had a chance to obtain any spiritual items, at such a large-scale auction, he could always gain some knowledge.

On this final day of the auction, the spiritual items brought out by the Star Sect were indeed even more precious and rare. Many of them were high-tier spiritual items cultivated by the Star Sect itself, which showed that they were worthy of being a sect that was good at cultivating spiritual items.

In addition, all kinds of pills and even Foundation Establishment Pills were also actively brought out by the Star Sect on the final day. Originally, Song Song Qingming also wanted to bring a few Foundation Establishment Pills back when he came to the State of Wu this time. As a result, because he auctioned the "Phantom Boat" yesterday, he really had no spirit stones on him, so he had to give up.

On this final day, Sect Master Yao Yao Ganshu also decisively took action and won many good things for the sect, and even took down several Foundation Establishment Pills in one go.

After the auction was halfway through, the biggest goal of Yao Yao Ganshu's trip to the State of Wu, the "Mist Snow Ice Lotus," finally appeared. Although this spiritual item was not as valuable as the "Phantom Boat" that Song Song Qingming won yesterday, for Yao Yao Ganshu, this item was something that could not be measured by the value of spirit stones.

After some competition among many cultivators, Yao Yao Ganshu also gritted his teeth and reported a high price of nearly thirty thousand spirit stones before successfully obtaining this item, allowing his trip to the State of Wu to finally get his wish and not be in vain.

Besides Sect Master Yao Yao Ganshu, Bai Bai Yuxian, Li Mu, Chu Chu Fengping, and others at the final auction also took action frequently. Everyone finally won one or two spiritual items useful to themselves. Only Song Song Qingming, because he had no spirit stones left on him, finally only got a few bottles of daily cultivation pills of low value.

This final day of the auction did not have any small episodes like yesterday. Even the finale spiritual item that appeared at the end was a third-tier top-quality spiritual item that made all the cultivators at the scene jealous, but no one dared to make small moves when competing for the spiritual item. After some fair competition, Cheng Cheng Bufan of the Lingyin Sect finally obtained this item.

A few days later, as the Star Assembly successfully ended, the many cultivators who came to the Seven Stars Market gradually began to leave. After the spiritual boat transporting goods for the sect was filled with spiritual items, Song Song Qingming and several other Golden Core elders also took the flying boat together and set off to return to the State of Wei.

On this trip to the State of Wu, in addition to selecting useful spiritual items for themselves, Yao Yao Ganshu also signaled the "Mount Guyang Pavilion" to purchase many spiritual items urgently needed by the sect during the Star Assembly.

Because they changed to the flying boat transporting materials for the sect, the speed of the return journey was much slower than the journey here. This time, the group from the Xiaoyao Sect did not choose the shortcut to pass directly through Taiyue Lake, but took a safer long way, so it would take two more months on the road.

——

State of Wei, Qinghe County, in Mount Mount Yunwu.

Song Song Changze, in tight military uniform, was fighting two monster beasts in a mountain col with three cultivators from the Song family's law enforcement team.

Since joining the family law enforcement team, Song Song Changze's combat ability had also grown a lot over the years, and he could already lead the monster hunting team into Mount Mount Yunwu alone to capture prey.

Song Song Changze's cultivation had already reached the eighth layer of Qi Condensation, and he had two good top-quality magic tools on him, so he was already not at a disadvantage when dealing with a top-quality monster beast alone.

Besides him fighting with a monster beast, another top-quality monster beast had already fallen into the trap set by the three Song family cultivators for a long time, and was firmly trapped in place by the array, suppressed to the point of being unable to parry.

As long as Song Song Changze held the monster beast in front of him for a moment, and waited for the other clansmen to free their hands, this monster beast would inevitably be their booty.

After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the monster beast that had been besieged by the Song family using the array for a long time finally couldn't hold on, screamed, and died in the hands of the few of them. The three Song family members who were free hurriedly surrounded Song Song Changze.

Seeing that several clansmen had joined the battlefield, Song Song Changze immediately turned from defense to offense, and the flying sword in his hand soon left many scars on this monster beast.

Seeing that there were many people on the other side and there was no chance of winning, this somewhat cunning wolf-shaped monster beast, taking advantage of a moment of carelessness by everyone, ignored the attack behind it and rushed directly toward a Song family cultivator with the weakest cultivation on the side.

This clansman of the "Chang" generation only had a cultivation base of the fifth layer of Qi Condensation. Facing this fierce top-quality monster beast rushing toward him, he panicked for a moment and instinctively took a few steps back, giving the other party a position to break out of the encirclement.

Seeing this, the wolf demon was overjoyed and immediately turned around and ran directly down the mountain.

"Changping, what are you doing? Everyone, hurry up and chase! It's already injured and can't run far!"

Seeing the wolf demon suddenly break out of the encirclement of everyone, Song Song Changze's sharp eyes swept over the clansman who had just missed the opportunity, and then hurriedly led several people to chase after it.

Although the wolf demon had already suffered not light injuries, its speed of escape was very fast. After chasing over several mountain peaks, among the few Song family members, only Song Song Changze, who had the highest cultivation, could keep up with its speed, and the others were soon thrown away without a trace.

Just after jumping over a mountain stream, Song Song Changze finally caught up with this wolf demon and jumped to the front to stop it.

Looking at the wolf demon with somewhat red eyes in front of him, Song Song Changze took out the flying sword in his hand, stared at the other party, and slowly walked toward it.

"Hmph! You've wasted half a day of our effort, and you still want to run? That's not so easy."

Seeing that Song Song Changze was still chasing it relentlessly and refused to let it go, this wolf demon also became fierce and could only fight with its life. In an instant, both sides fought for more than a dozen rounds again.

Although the injuries on the wolf demon's body would not affect its combat effectiveness too much, even if it tried its best, it still couldn't take the upper hand and couldn't do anything to Song Song Changze.

Just when Song Song Changze was fighting with the wolf demon, the few Song family members following behind also finally caught up.

Seeing that he was about to fall into encirclement again, the wolf demon spat out a powerful spell to force Song Song Changze back, then turned and jumped into the bottomless mountain stream.

"Hmph! Still want to run? Let's see where else you can run." Song Song Qingze saw this, sneered, jumped up, and followed the wolf demon down.

"Song Changze...!"

The few Song family members who had just arrived above the mountain stream were also startled to see Song Song Changze jump down the mountain stream following the wolf demon. After shouting a few times above without receiving a response, the few of them hurriedly found a shortcut from the cliffs on both sides and searched down.

Cultivators who have reached the late stage of Qi Condensation have basically cultivated the "Light Body Technique." As long as they can stabilize their figure in time when jumping down a mountain cliff hundreds of meters high, there is generally no danger.

The reason why these few Song family clansmen were so anxious was not that they were worried that Song Song Changze would be injured if he fell, but that they were somewhat afraid that after Song Song Changze went down, he would be alone, and that wolf demon would cause him any danger.

After they searched all the way to the bottom of the mountain stream and searched along a stream, what surprised the few of them was that the figures of Song Song Changze and that wolf demon seemed to have disappeared into thin air, and they couldn't even find a trace along the way.

These few people searched for a long time at the bottom of the mountain stream, and finally had no choice but to use a low-tier sound transmission talisman to send a message to Song Song Changze, but they still gained nothing, and they didn't see Song Song Changze reply to their message.

After a long time, these few people from the Song family also discovered that something seemed to be wrong, so they hurriedly ran back to Mount Mount Funiu and informed the family law enforcement team of this news.

Knowing that Song Song Changze, who was highly valued by their ancestor, had an accident, Song Song Yuantong, who was in charge of managing the family law enforcement team, immediately changed his expression. He didn't dare to be vague and hurriedly led people to Mount Mount Yunwu to find Song Song Changze himself.

Half a month later, a giant flying boat about twenty zhang long quickly passed through the guardian array of the Xiaoyao Sect and docked in an open space on Mount Mount Guyang. Sect Master Yao Yao Ganshu of the Xiaoyao Sect led everyone to walk off the flying boat first.

Just after getting off the flying boat, Chu Chu Fengping immediately leaned toward Song Song Qingming. "Junior Brother Song, the journey was exhausting. Why don't you go to my place to sit for a while and rest for a few days before going back?"

"Hehe! Many thanks for Senior Brother Chu's concern. Senior Brother has not returned for a few months, so I am afraid there are many things to be busy with. I won't bother you anymore. Another day when Senior Brother Chu is free, come to Mount Mount Funiu. I still have some top-quality spiritual tea there, and we will exchange cultivation experiences again."

"That's good! It's a deal. Another day, I will definitely visit." Smiling and cupping his hands at Song Song Qingming, Chu Chu Fengping soon turned into a ray of spiritual light and disappeared in place.

After Chu Chu Fengping left, Song Song Qingming said goodbye to several other Golden Core elders. Just as he was about to leave, Bai Bai Yuxian walked to his side quietly.

"Junior Brother Song, that Linghu old ghost has formed his core for many years and has always been narrow-minded. Junior Brother, you obtained what he wanted at the auction this time. In the future, if you go near the State of Yue, you need to be more careful, so as not to be targeted by this old ghost."

"Many thanks for Senior Sister Bai's reminder. My temperament is relatively indifferent, and I rarely go out, so I think it will be very difficult to encounter him!" Hearing Bai Bai Yuxian's kind reminder, Song Song Qingming hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed to her.

Bai Bai Yuxian nodded slightly and didn't say anything more, then turned and stepped onto a white shuttle to return to her cave dwelling.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Song Song Qingming didn't delay too much, directly flipped his hand to take out the "Phantom Boat," turned into a white light, and left Mount Mount Guyang.

With the addition of the "Phantom Boat," Song Song Qingming's escape speed improved a lot compared to before. In less than half a day, he quickly passed through a distance of several thousand miles and returned to Qinghe County.

Just after arriving at the family spiritual land, Mount Mount Funiu, Song Song Qingming had not yet had time to return to his cave dwelling to rest for a while when he heard a piece of news that surprised him somewhat.

Song Song Changze, who had already joined the family law enforcement team, had been missing in Mount Mount Yunwu for more than half a month while hunting monsters.
