Chapter 524: Cultivation Technique Inheritance

Seeing the visiting Zhang and Lin, Song Qingming was somewhat surprised. The Song family is far away in the northeast of Wei Guo and has very little contact with the loose cultivator forces of Tuoyun Mountain. Logically speaking, if they had any urgent matters that were difficult to solve, they should go to the Xiaoyao Sect. How could they have run to Funiu Mountain?

"The two of you, do not be polite. Back then, before I formed my Jin Dan, I went to Tuoyun Mountain to participate in the trading society, and your sect's Ancestor Chen also took care of me. It is just that the past is like smoke, and now things have long since changed."

"The two of you coming to my Funiu Mountain today, just say whatever you have to say. If it is convenient for me, Song will naturally not refuse."

Hearing Song Qingming say this, Lin Yutang and Zhang Rong looked at each other, and then slowly opened their mouths: "Senior Song, you also know that the Ma family thieves raided my Tuoyun Mountain, and several Senior Brothers have all died in battle. Now, such a large Tuoyun Mountain is left with only the two of us, and we are already somewhat powerless."

"Today, Zhang Tieyang and I came here to discuss with you. We want to sell the Tuoyun Mountain spiritual vein to the Song family at a discounted price. I wonder if you have the intention to take over Tuoyun Mountain?"

"This! Tuoyun Mountain was left to you by Ancestor Chen. Now that Fellow Daoist Feng and the others have just met with disaster, how can my Song family take advantage of others' precarious position to take over the Tuoyun Mountain spiritual vein? This matter really makes it difficult for me."

Hearing Lin Yutang suddenly want to sell the Tuoyun Mountain spiritual vein to the Song family, Song Qingming was somewhat surprised and happy, but he still refused directly without even thinking about it.

Since the Ma family raided Tuoyun Mountain with the help of the Nine Origin Sect, the disciples and grand-disciples of Chen Jinliang's lineage had basically all died in the hands of the Ma family cultivators. Zhang Rong and Lin Yutang, the two Senior Brothers, were the only two remaining disciples of Chen Jinliang in the world.

In the battle of Iron Immortal Fortress, the Xiaoyao Sect killed Ma Hongshan, which could be considered as avenging their Senior Brothers. Regarding this third-grade spiritual vein of Tuoyun Mountain, the Xiaoyao Sect did not choose to take over after the battle and still returned this spiritual vein to the two Senior Brothers, Zhang Rong and Lin Yutang.

Song Qingming had long known about this point. Even the Xiaoyao Sect did not want to get involved in Tuoyun Mountain's affairs. Song Qingming naturally also knew that this spiritual vein of Tuoyun Mountain was not so easy to take over.

Because the geographical location is already in the Floating Yunshan Range, the surroundings of Tuoyun Mountain are all places occupied by demonic beasts. There are no mineral resources, and even the number of mortals is very scarce. The most valuable thing is this third-grade spiritual vein of Tuoyun Mountain.

In the entire Wei Guo, except for the Xiaoyao Sect, there are not many who have the ability to take over this third-grade spiritual vein of Tuoyun Mountain. Soon, they came to Funiu Mountain and found the Song family.

It has been less than a few months, and this spiritual vein of Tuoyun Mountain has already begun to exceed its income. Even the spirit stones to deal with the attacks of surrounding demonic beasts and maintain the mountain-protecting formation are difficult to sustain. Therefore, the two Senior Brothers, Zhang Rong and Lin Yutang, began to find ways everywhere to find someone to take over the Tuoyun Mountain spiritual vein.

Hearing Lin Yutang say this, Song Qingming sighed slightly and smiled bitterly: "This matter is not that I don't want to consider it, but nowadays my Song family only promoted the family spiritual vein a few years ago, and the spirit stones that were finally accumulated have all been invested in the Yinfeng Ridge mine."

"Senior Song, if you are unwilling to take over, I am afraid we can only give up this spiritual mountain and watch Tuoyun Mountain fall into the hands of demonic beasts again. For the sake of the many human beings on Tuoyun Mountain, we are willing to transfer the spiritual vein to the Song family at a low price. I hope you can consider it again."

Especially after Feng Yangde, the only Jin Dan cultivator of Tuoyun Mountain, died in battle, because of the lack of Jin Dan combat power to guard the spiritual mountain, Tuoyun Mountain also began to feel powerless in dealing with the attacks of surrounding demonic beasts. The many loose cultivators on the mountain felt less and less safe, and many loose cultivators had already fled Tuoyun Mountain with their families.

Nowadays, although my Song family is a Jin Dan immortal clan on the surface, in fact, the entire family is now considered to be penniless. Even if I have the heart to take over Tuoyun Mountain, with the Song family's own strength, I have no ability to manage this spiritual mountain well.

Nowadays, the Tuoyun Mountain market, which was finally established in cooperation with the Xiaoyao Sect, was destroyed after the Ma family's raid. Tuoyun Mountain has lost its biggest source of economy.

Just after Lin Yutang finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Song Qingming again, his eyes full of pleading.

The hundreds of years that Chen Jinliang occupied Tuoyun Mountain were actually relying on operating the Tuoyun Mountain market and collecting spirit stones from the many loose cultivators below who rented caves, so that he could support the cultivators of his own lineage and maintain the operation of the entire Tuoyun Mountain.

Seeing that Song Qingming did not even ask about the price and refused this matter directly so quickly, Lin Yutang's face changed slightly, but he still insisted on continuing: "Senior Song, you may not know that my two Senior Brothers are not really willing to hand over the spiritual mountain left by our master to others. It is really because the situation of Tuoyun Mountain is severe now, and we have no ability to guard this mountain."

"Regarding this matter, I think you should still go to Sect Master Senior Brother to discuss it and see if the sect is willing to help. Otherwise, there should be no one else in the entire Wei Guo who has the ability to take over Tuoyun Mountain."

Hearing Song Qingming say this, Lin Yutang and Zhang Rong's faces immediately showed a trace of ugliness.

"To tell you the truth, before coming to Funiu Mountain, Zhang Tieyang and I had already been to Guyang Mountain to find Sect Master Yao to discuss this matter. The Xiaoyao Sect is only willing to assist us in rebuilding the Tuoyun Mountain market and has no intention of taking over this spiritual mountain."

Song Qingming opened his mouth with a calm face: "If even the sect is unwilling to interfere, this matter is indeed somewhat difficult to handle. I am indeed somewhat powerless here. Tuoyun Mountain is too far from Qinghe County. Even if I have the heart to take care of it, it is somewhat beyond my reach. You two should make a decision early on this matter."

"If you really cannot guard Tuoyun Mountain, if you want to find a place to stay in the future, you can also come to my Qinghe County. I also received some kindness and guidance from your master back then. Although I cannot help you with big things, I can still take care of you for his sake. You can rest assured about this point."

Having said this, Song Qingming had already done his best for the two Senior Brothers, Zhang Rong and Lin Yutang.

Although the Song family also very much wants a third-grade spiritual vein, Tuoyun Mountain, which is thousands of miles away from the family and is already full of crises, is obviously not the most suitable choice for the Song family now.

Not to mention that Lin Yutang wants to sell the Tuoyun Mountain spiritual vein to the Song family at a discounted price, even if they really gave Tuoyun Mountain to him for free, I am afraid Song Qingming would still need to carefully consider whether to get involved in this muddy water.

"Senior Song, I have the alchemy inheritance left by my master, as well as a Jin Dan cultivation technique. I wonder if these two things can be exchanged for you to take action once to help us, helping our Tuoyun Mountain get through the crisis in front of us."

Just as the scene fell into a somewhat awkward situation, Zhang Rong, who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken, suddenly said something to Song Qingming that surprised him somewhat.

"You are talking about the cultivation technique inheritance left by Ancestor Chen back then. Are these things still with you now?" Song Qingming asked cautiously to confirm.

Back then, before Chen Jinliang sat down, he supported Feng Yangde to form a fake core, just to let him inherit the family business of guarding Tuoyun Mountain. The many precious spiritual items on Chen Jinliang at that time were also directly left to Feng Yangde.

When the Ma family raided Tuoyun Mountain back then, Feng Yangde died in battle on the spot, and these things naturally fell into the hands of the Ma family. Later, the Xiaoyao Sect wiped out the Ma family and also captured a magic treasure used by Chen Jinliang back then from Ma Hongshan.

Song Qingming thought that the spiritual items left by Chen Jinliang back then were either on the Ma family cultivators who fled, such as Ma Qiudie, or had long fallen into the hands of the Xiaoyao Sect. He was somewhat surprised that Chen Jinliang's alchemy and cultivation technique inheritance were still with Zhang Rong.

"Junior does not dare to deceive Senior. Before the Ma family raided Tuoyun Mountain, Senior Brother Feng already had a premonition and specifically left these two things passed down by Master on the mountain before leaving."

"Later, Tuoyun Mountain was broken by the Ma family. Several Senior Brothers handed this thing to me. Under their desperate cover, I was able to escape. These two things have been hidden in a safe place. If Senior is willing to agree to us, I am willing to offer this thing to the Song family with both hands. I hope Senior can consider it again."

Mentioning the battle of Tuoyun Mountain not long ago, Zhang Rong, who had personally experienced the tragic death of his fellow disciples, still found it unbearable to look back, and his eyes were slightly red.

Hearing that the other party still had the alchemy and cultivation technique inheritance left by Chen Jinliang, Song Qingming, who originally had no intention of getting involved in this matter, suddenly changed his expression. After standing up and pacing for a while to think, he slowly opened his mouth and said:

"You have these two things in your hands. If you take them directly to Guyang Mountain, you should also be able to exchange for the sect's protection. Why did you come to find me again?"

Zhang Rong was slightly stunned for a moment, and then replied with a somewhat difficult face: "Senior Song is right. These two things are indeed enough to exchange for the Xiaoyao Sect to take action to protect Tuoyun Mountain for a while."

"However, you also know the rules of the Xiaoyao Sect. Once we offer these things to them, the inheritance left by Master will be completely broken. Although the two of us are not talented and it is difficult to carry forward the sect, we do not want to break the sect's inheritance because of this. Otherwise, even if we guard Tuoyun Mountain, we will have no face to face Master in the future."

The reason Zhang Rong said this is because the Xiaoyao Sect's Merit Pavilion has extremely strict control over cultivation technique inheritances above the third grade and does not allow cultivation technique inheritances above the Jin Dan stage to circulate at will within the territory.

Whether it is a loose cultivator or a family, if you offer a Jin Dan stage cultivation technique, you can get great benefits, but one point is that this set of cultivation techniques will have nothing to do with you in the future. You can cultivate it yourself, but you must sign a contract and cannot pass the cultivation technique to others.

If Zhang Rong and Lin Yutang offer the inheritance left by Chen Jinliang to the Xiaoyao Sect, that is breaking their master's inheritance. This point is indeed very difficult for them to accept.

But it is different to use it to trade with the Song family. No matter what, Song Qingming here will at least not have such strict rules as the Xiaoyao Sect, and it will not make them have no room for discussion at all.
