Chapter 514

After Huang Huang Siyuan took the barrier-breaking pill a few years ago, her cultivation also successfully broke through to the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment. Her cultivation speed is actually almost catching up with Song Song Qingyu, but every breakthrough in the late stage of Foundation Establishment is much more difficult than the previous one. Huang Huang Siyuan needs at least another ten years to reach the realm where she can form a core.

Although the current cultivation speed of Song Song Qingyu and Huang Huang Siyuan is not as good as those core-forming seeds with extraordinary talents in the Xiaoyao Sect, as long as they can start to impact the core-forming realm before the age of 150, they can at least have two chances to form a core in this life.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators to form a core, except for heaven spiritual root cultivators, there are very few cultivators who can successfully form a core at once. Among the more than ten Core Formation cultivators in the State of Wei, except for the genius Bai Bai Yuxian, only Sect Master Yao Yao Qianshu of the Xiaoyao Sect successfully broke through to the Core Formation realm at once.

Most others, including Song Song Qingming, succeeded in forming a core for the second time. The True Person Daoist Guangling, who formed a core the most times, barely succeeded in forming a core until the fourth time. His path was also the most bumpy, and his cultivation level only reached the fifth layer of Core Formation when he was nearly five hundred years old. His path in this life can be considered to have come to an end.

"A few days ago, Song Qingyu said she was going to participate in the exchange meeting held in Mount Guiyun Square. I thought you followed her."

Huang Huang Siyuan shook her head and said: "Sister Song Qingyu is about to prepare to form a core, so she is anxious to search for Core Formation spiritual items everywhere. I am still a distance away from forming a core, so it's not very interesting to go. It's better to practice with peace of mind on the mountain and break through the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment early."

"Staying on the mountain every day is also a bit boring. Why don't we go out for a walk together!" Song Song Qingming smiled and reached out to pull Huang Huang Siyuan, and the two walked out of the cave dwelling together slowly.

After walking down the top of the mountain, Song Song Qingming took Huang Huang Siyuan and chatted while walking, strolling in the beautiful scenery of Mount Funiu Mountain.

In these years, Song Song Qingming was busy refining the Core Formation corpse puppet, and Huang Huang Siyuan was studying the way of alchemy. Most of the time, both of them were in seclusion, and they hadn't enjoyed such leisure time together for a long time.

Unlike Song Song Qingming, who went out to break through alone when he was in the Qi Condensation stage, and his footprints had already spread all over half of the State of Wei, Huang Huang Siyuan had been fixed in a certain place to practice most of the time since she started practicing, and rarely went out to travel alone. Being able to have free time to come out to watch flowers and scenery, her mood was immediately much more pleasant.

With the promulgation of many policies beneficial to mortals by the family, the demonic beasts within a hundred miles around Mount Funiu Mountain were soon swept away by the family law enforcement team. Now, even at a position dozens of miles away from Mount Funiu Mountain, mortals have begun to appear.

The population in Mujiao Town today has also increased several times compared to a hundred years ago, becoming a large town that can gather more than 80,000 mortals. The streets in the town are also much more prosperous than before, and can already be compared with the mortal towns developed for thousands of years under the Taiyuan Mountain of the Huang family.

Song Song Qingming and the two who walked into the town specially restrained their own cultivation, disguised themselves as ordinary mortals, and did not disturb the cultivators stationed in the town by the family.

The two went down from the top of the mountain, walking and stopping along the mountains and rivers, and soon came to the side of Mujiao Town where Song Song Qingming was born.

Because Huang Huang Siyuan's parents were both cultivators, she lived on the mountain since she was a child and had little contact with ordinary mortals. Now that she walked into the mortals under the mountain, she, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was high above on weekdays, was also full of curiosity and pulled Song Song Qingming to watch without stopping.

Without the threat of demonic beasts, the lives of these ordinary mortals in Mujiao Town were also more prosperous than before. Most of the people on the streets had soft smiles that only existed in a good life.

The current Song family sends children with spiritual roots to the mountain almost every year. Even three-spiritual-root cultivators are no longer a rare thing. The overall number of cultivators has long exceeded several times more than when they were a Foundation Establishment family.

In recent years, because the Song family has been promoted to a Core Formation immortal family, the family territory has expanded rapidly, and the number of cultivators in the clan is often not enough. Elders like Song Song Yuanfang who manage the daily affairs of the family have also made many policies to encourage mortal reproduction for this reason.

The growth of the number of mortals will also cause the number of new cultivators in the Song family to increase rapidly. When Song Song Qingming just established the foundation, the family would only discover a child with spiritual roots every two or three years on average. Even if it was just a four- or five-spiritual-root cultivator, Mount Funiu Mountain would celebrate.

Knowing the news that their own Old Ancestor suddenly came down the mountain to them, the "Yuan" generation cultivator stationed in Mujiao Town was also startled, and hurriedly sent a large bag of gold and silver to Song Song Qingming, the Old Ancestor, in person.

Seeing Huang Huang Siyuan's envious look when seeing others buying things, Song Song Qingming remembered that the two family Old Ancestors didn't seem to have gold and silver used by mortals, so he hurriedly took the initiative to send a sound transmission to the Song family cultivator guarding Mujiao Town, asking him to send some gold and silver.

The number of mortals directly controlled by the Song family has risen to nearly 300,000 after continuous rapid growth in these years. If there is no accident, in another twenty or thirty years, the Song family should surpass the Huang family of Taiyuan Mountain and become the cultivation family with the largest number of mortals in Qinghe County.

With money on her body, the smile on Huang Huang Siyuan's face walking on the street was also much brighter.

"Husband, this noodle is clearly not very delicious. You say these people, how can they eat so happily? Is it that the taste we cultivators taste will be different?" Huang Huang Siyuan, who was sitting in a noodle restaurant, raised her head and asked in confusion.

Clearly a bowl of clear soup noodles that looked exactly the same, Huang Huang Siyuan just took a bite and immediately frowned and put down the chopsticks in her hand. Several ordinary mortals sitting not far from the two had finished eating the noodles not long after they were served, and at this moment, they were still holding the soup in the bowl and drinking it with relish.

Song Song Qingming shook his head slightly and explained: "It's the same taste. I also ate it under the mountain when I was a child. However, for them, noodles are delicious if they can be full. The delicious food you want in your heart is different, so naturally, the feeling will be different."

"It seems so. Looking at the way they eat, they are much happier than us cultivators."

After the two strolled on the street for half a day, Song Song Qingming took Huang Huang Siyuan and walked to the outside of a courtyard in the west of Mujiao Town.

The past was like smoke, appearing one by one. Since his parents passed away, Song Song Qingming had not returned here for a long time. A hundred years passed in a flash. Several family members who were once in front of his eyes had all left, leaving only him walking alone in this world.

Looking at the familiar scenery at the door, Song Song Qingming stopped for a moment, but did not walk into his former home. After a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned and left the place directly.

"Husband finally came back once, why don't you go in and see?" Seeing that Song Song Qingming had arrived here but chose to turn and leave, Huang Huang Siyuan asked with some confusion.

Song Song Qingming nodded when he heard this and said: "Looking at the outside, there is no change. I think the descendants at home should be doing well. They are all juniors I haven't seen before. Let's not go in and scare them."

"Haha! You, the Old Ancestor, look so young, and you still have to let those juniors with crutches kowtow to you. It really doesn't look good." Huang Huang Siyuan pursed her lips and smiled softly.

"It's been many years since I went to offer incense to mother and the others. Follow me to see them!"

Seeing Huang Huang Siyuan nod and agree, Song Song Qingming and the two did not hide their cultivation, turned into two streaks of spiritual light, and left here directly.

"Ah, it's an immortal, the immortal on the mountain has come down!" After the two left, a burst of exclamation came from the mouths of several mortals who passed by and saw this scene, causing a commotion nearby.

Decades passed, and there were seven or eight more mounds of graves here at Song's mother's cemetery, all of which were buried with Song Song Qingming's own descendants.

Song Song Qingming's second sister, fourth younger brother, and nephew Song Yunshan and other Song family descendants all chose to be buried here after death. A cemetery has been formed on this small mountain, and most of the family members Song Song Qingming was familiar with in his memory were here, not in the courtyard under the mountain.

After offering a stick of incense to his mother with Huang Huang Siyuan, the two stood on the top of the mountain enjoying the sunset, as if they had returned to the appearance of seeing his mother off decades ago.

The difference is that Song Song Qingming has now become a Core Formation True Person who is famous in one side, and Huang Huang Siyuan is no longer a small Qi Condensation cultivator who is too weak to fight against fate.

A few days later, outside Song Song Qingming's cave dwelling.

After a black figure flew into mid-air, he cast a spell with both hands to release a cyan short sword. After the cyan short sword turned around the black shadow for a few times, the spiritual light suddenly rose and directly turned into a streak of spiritual light and flew down quickly, cutting a huge rock on the side of the mountain top into two halves.

Looking at Jinfeng, who could freely control the "Qingliu Sword" in mid-air on the side, Song Song Qingming nodded with satisfaction, flew into mid-air, cast a spell, and released his natal magic treasure "Five-Element Divine Light Mirror" in his body.

Under Song Song Qingming's control, the "Five-Element Divine Light Mirror" released a burst of five-colored divine light towards Jinfeng in mid-air.

Encountering the attack of the five-colored divine light, Jinfeng moved his arms and released a black protective cover in front of him, and took Song Song Qingming's attack head-on without much effort.

After seeing this scene, Song Song Qingming smiled with satisfaction and put away the "Five-Element Divine Light Mirror." "Although it cannot refine a natal magic treasure and the attack ability is slightly worse, the defense ability is already not inferior to cultivators of the same tier."

After successfully refining the "Qingliu Sword," Jinfeng's strength is even better, and it is almost comparable to an ordinary Core Formation first-layer cultivator. After three years of careful cultivation, Song Song Qingming finally obtained a Core Formation assistant he had always dreamed of.

After coming down from the sky, Song Song Qingming just wanted to take Jinfeng back to his cave dwelling, but on the side of Mount Funiu Mountain, a golden spirit talisman suddenly flew over quickly.
