Chapter 52: Dividing the Spirit Items

After Feng Laogui finished speaking, he nodded at the two and walked toward the Flame Rat's cave dwelling, where the gravel was messy.

The cave dwelling built by this rat-type demonic beast had always been relatively short and small. Feng Laogui spent a lot of effort at the cave entrance before he finally drilled in.

After Feng Laogui left, Jia Sixing and Song Qingming looked at each other. Seeing that Song Qingming had no opinion, Jia Sixing took out a short knife and began to take action on the Flame Rat corpse on the ground, carefully peeling off its outer skin.

Song Qingming picked up the Blazing Sun Sword on the ground. Upon looking at it, he found that a crack on the sword body was already very conspicuous. The heavy blow from the Flame Rat's iron claws just now almost broke this flying sword that had followed him for many years into two pieces on the spot.

Now, even if this Blazing Sun Sword could barely be used, it shouldn't last long. He must find a refiner to repair it when he returns to Guiyunfang next time.

Looking at the Blazing Sun Sword, which was somewhat seriously damaged, Song Qingming shook his head with some heartache, then put it back into his storage bag.

However, fortunately, this operation was considered smooth. Although the Blazing Sun Sword was almost damaged, it was good that a high-tier demonic beast was killed. Even if he could only get half of the materials, overall, it was definitely a profit for Song Qingming.

In that battle just now, Song Qingming also saw Feng Laogui's divine abilities clearly. On the surface, the gap in cultivation between him and this person might not be too big, but if he and Feng Laogui really fought, he could say that he didn't have much chance of winning against this person now.

Feng Laogui had been mixing in the Fuyun Mountain Range for many years. Although he was an itinerant cultivator, he was afraid that he had some opportunities in his early years, and the techniques he practiced were much stronger than the common goods techniques like the Kunyuan Technique that Song Qingming practiced at the beginning. It was estimated that it was comparable to the Red Flame Technique passed down by the Song family for two hundred years.

Just that thunder-attribute white tiger puppet on his body was quite powerful, already equivalent to an ordinary cultivator at the fifth layer of Qi Refining, plus he had refined top-grade magic treasures, so his strength could be considered top-notch among mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

Among all the mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators Song Qingming knew, there were not many whose fighting divine abilities could compare to this person. In the entire Song family, except for those elders at the late stage of Qi Refining, only Third Brother Song Qingze could compete with him.

Song Qingming, whether it was cultivation magic power or magic treasure divine abilities, still had some distance compared to these two people.

Even against Jia Sixing, who had strange footwork beside him, Song Qingming didn't have much chance of winning. Song Qingming estimated that even if he didn't come this time, just relying on these two people to take action, this Flame Rat would also be in bad luck.

This time he went out, he could be considered to have seen the various divine abilities of cultivators outside. Looking at Feng Laogui's puppet beast, he was also very moved. It was just a pity that very few people would sell this kind of thing, and even in a large market like Guiyunfang, it was very difficult to buy.

Feng Laogui's puppet beast was also auctioned by him in the Bai Long Mountain black market for quite a few spirit stones. Things like puppet beasts that could quickly improve a cultivator's strength, even if the Xiaoyao Sect had such inheritances, rarely flowed into the market.

Sure enough, those who could enter the Flying Cloud Guards were not ordinary cultivators. After he entered, he also slowly learned this point.

The reason he could be recruited into the Flying Cloud Guards by Lu Yunfei was also because the area near Guiyunfang had been turbulent recently, the situation of the Xiaoyao Sect cultivators stationed in the market was somewhat tight, plus the demonic beast turmoil in the Northern Frontier was approaching, and there were demonic cultivators appearing near Guiyunfang.

For this reason, the Golden Core Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect stationed in Guiyunfang specifically issued an edict, increasing the recruitment of a group of people to enrich the strength of the Flying Cloud Guards and strengthening the investigation of the area near the Fuyun Mountain Range.

The reason Song Qingming was so concerned about Feng Laogui's magic power divine abilities was naturally also to be prepared when dealing with this person in the future.

When going out, Song Qingming had always been careful and cautious, especially when facing these old and cunning cultivators. He had always had a defensive heart toward these people.

At this time and place, Song Qingming naturally wouldn't be afraid of these two people taking action against him, but it was hard to say after going to Bai Long Mountain.

If these Flying Cloud Guards encountered accidents while performing tasks, Guiyunfang would definitely send people to inquire about this matter. Even if they were killed by demonic beasts, Guiyunfang would try its best to find their relatives and descendants to give a certain amount of compensation.

On this point, Guiyunfang was still relatively righteous, which was also the reason why they could gather these elite cultivators to risk their lives for them deep in these dangerous places.

Taking action against Song Qingming here, once it attracted the investigation of Foundation Establishment experts from the Xiaoyao Sect, Feng Laogui and the other two would definitely not be able to escape the questioning of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Once the incident occurred, what awaited the two would definitely be a fate worse than death.

After all, the Flying Cloud Guards were nominally the guard force belonging to Guiyunfang. Taking action against them while they were performing tasks, to put it seriously, was challenging the authority of Guiyunfang, and behind Guiyunfang was the Xiaoyao Sect that dominated the entire Song Guo.

As long as Feng Laogui and the other two didn't suddenly go crazy or were controlled by demonic cultivators, they would definitely not choose to be unfavorable to Song Qingming here.

Song Qingming dared to come to the Fuyun Mountain Range, which was full of crises, for training, of course, not without any reliance. He also had a few top-grade life-saving spirit talismans on his body, which were considered his trump cards. As long as he didn't encounter second-tier demonic beasts, he had a few chances to escape.

After putting away the Blazing Sun Sword, after a while, seeing that Feng Laogui had finally come out, Song Qingming and the other two also immediately guessed that Feng Laogui must have achieved his wish and obtained that spirit herb he had been thinking about day and night.

"It seems Brother Feng's White Jade Flower is already in hand. Let's leave this place quickly. Otherwise, if it takes too long, in case it disturbs other demonic beasts, it will take some effort again."

Jia Sixing saw Feng Laogui come out and hurriedly opened his mouth to say.

Feng Laogui nodded with a face full of joy and said: "Feng was able to obtain this spirit herb this time, thanks to the help of the two virtuous brothers. After returning, please help keep the secret and don't let Captain Lu know about our cooperation in hunting demonic beasts today."

Song Qingming and Jia Sixing nodded slightly, and the three subsequently left this place.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 53 =====

After returning to the camp, Song Qingming wanted to ask the old man Shi Mofeng for help in refining these iron claws into a magic treasure. Given the old man's level as a top-grade artifact refiner, as long as he was willing to spend a few spirit stones, he should not refuse such a small favor.

Now that the Blazing Sun Sword in his hand was somewhat damaged, he was in urgent need of a handy magic treasure to replace it. As long as Shi Mofeng's price was not excessive, Song Qingming still wanted to prioritize asking him to refine it.

As for the essence blood and other items from the demonic beasts, Song Qingming planned to deal with them slowly after returning to Guiyun Square. If he really had no time, he could also sell these materials directly to a material shop in Guiyun Square in exchange for spirit stones.

Not long after Song Qingming finished storing the beast materials, Feng Laogui, who had entered the demonic beast cave, finally came out. Seeing his joyful expression, Song Qingming and his companion immediately guessed that Feng Laogui must have achieved his wish and obtained the spiritual herb he had been longing for.

"It seems Brother Feng has obtained the White Jade Flower. Let us leave this place quickly; otherwise, if we stay too long and happen to disturb other demonic beasts, it will take more effort to deal with them."

Seeing Feng Laogui come out, Jia Sixing hurriedly spoke up.

Feng Laogui nodded with a face full of smiles and said, "That I could obtain this spiritual herb this time is thanks to the help of my two worthy brothers. After you two return, please help keep this secret and do not let Captain Lu know about our cooperation in hunting demons today."

Song Qingming and Jia Sixing nodded slightly, and the three of them subsequently left the place.
