Chapter 538: Borrowing the Handbook

Although Song Song Qingming currently did not have any extra Foundation Establishment Pills, as a guest elder of the Xiaoyao Sect, in the case where Foundation Establishment Pills were not in short supply in the sect's Merit Pavilion, wanting to exchange for one was not a very difficult matter for Song Song Qingming at present.

"You want to use this item to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill from me. I can promise you first, but I don't have a Foundation Establishment Pill on me right now, and I need to go to the sect. You take this item back and wait patiently for a few days. When I get the Foundation Establishment Pill, I will send someone to notify you to come over." Song Song Qingming pondered for a moment before nodding and agreeing to Wang Wang Daoyun's request.

The "Golden Marrow Spirit Fruit" offered by Wang Wang Daoyun could also be counted as a relatively rare third-tier spirit fruit. After a Golden Core cultivator consumes and refines it, it can increase the cultivator's magic power by about five years. Moreover, this item can also be used to refine several types of third-tier elixirs. Its value to Song Song Qingming was much more useful than a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Therefore, as long as the request made by Wang Wang Daoyun was not particularly excessive, even if it required spending more spirit stones, Song Song Qingming was willing to take this item. After all, third-tier spirit items useful to Golden Core cultivators were indeed somewhat difficult to find within the State of Wei.

Song Song Qingming had formed his core for nearly thirty years and had not obtained many spirit items above the third tier outside. That the Wang family could take the initiative to offer the "Golden Marrow Spirit Fruit" this time truly gave him a hint of unexpected surprise.

Having cultivated for over a hundred years, Song Song Qingming's mind had long since not been comparable to that of small cultivators like Wang Wang Daoyun. Naturally, he quickly saw that what he said was probably not the truth.

"Hmm! Don't worry, you can be considered one of the subordinate families that followed my Mount Mount Funiu the earliest. As long as you do your duty well, the Song family will naturally not forget your contributions."

"Heavenly Tower, I didn't expect you to be interested in this, Junior Brother Song. Could it be that you also have ideas about going inside to find some opportunities?" Hearing Song Song Qingming mention the Heavenly Tower, Chen Chen Xuanxin's face revealed a hint of surprise again.

"Seventh Great-Uncle is right. The Wang family is, after all, attached to us. If they rashly bypassed us and took this item to the Xiaoyao Sect, even if they were not afraid of the investigation of the Questioning God Talisman, I am afraid this matter would not be hidden from us."

The Wang family had made full preparations and had also cultivated a cultivator who could establish a foundation at any time. This time, as long as they could successfully exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill, the day of the family's takeoff would be just around the corner.

"Hehe! Senior Brother Chen, you are too polite. I came to the Merit Pavilion today to exchange for some spirit items and also to look up some classic materials. As a result, they couldn't find some handbooks, so I disturbed you. It's also somewhat of a bother to you." Song Song Qingming arched his hands politely.

Ten years passed, and Chen Chen Xuanxin's cultivation base had also gone a step further, successfully breaking through to the fifth layer of Golden Core, catching up with people like Chu Chu Fengping who had formed their cores decades before him.

The Song family had risen from an unknown Qi Condensation family to a Golden Core immortal family that dominated one side in just over a hundred years. If this were changed to over a hundred years ago, no one in Qinghe County would believe they could reach such a point.

The person currently managing the Merit Pavilion happened to be Chen Chen Xuanxin, who was relatively familiar with Song Song Qingming. As soon as he walked into the Merit Pavilion and saw Song Song Qingming, he laughed directly: "Junior Brother Song, you are also a rare guest. What free time do you have to come to the Merit Pavilion today? It wouldn't be specifically to see me, would it!"

Song Song Qingming shook his head slightly: "That wouldn't be the case. Although Wang Wang Daoyun didn't tell the truth just now, I can also see that they don't have the guts."

When Chen Chen Xuanxin came to Song Song Qingming to exchange for "Millennium Spirit Milk" back then, Song Song Qingming also guessed that he should be planning to use it to break through his cultivation base. Sure enough, as Song Song Qingming expected, Chen Chen Xuanxin's cultivation base broke through to the fifth layer of Golden Core a few years later.

After Wang Wang Daoyun left Mount Mount Funiu, Song Song Qingming called Song Song Yuanfang over again and briefly told him what had just happened.

When he received the news that he was coming, Chen Chen Xuanxin thought that Song Song Qingming needed to exchange for some important spirit items in the Merit Pavilion that the people below could not decide on. He was thinking about whether he would have a chance to repay the favor Song Song Qingming did for him last time. He did not expect that Song Song Qingming came here just to borrow a handbook.

"Oh! What handbook is it that even they couldn't find? Junior Brother Song, tell me quickly!" Chen Chen Xuanxin's face also revealed a hint of surprise after hearing this.

Song Song Qingming shook his head slightly: "Senior Brother Chen, you are joking. I know very little about the Heavenly Tower. Currently, I just have a curious heart. Now that I don't even know how to go there, where would I have any ideas?"

The Wang family should have accumulated quite a few spirit stones relying on the Geng Gold mineral vein of Mount Mount Fengtou. Being able to obtain this item is not incomprehensible. I guess they should have obtained it from some black market or auction, and they didn't dare to say it here."

"That is also true. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here today to look for that scroll of handbook. The thing you want happens to be in my hands. Please wait a moment, Junior Brother Song. I will let them help you make another copy for you to take back and read slowly!"

Hearing Song Song Qingming ask him to take back the "Golden Marrow Spirit Fruit" he had just offered, Wang Wang Daoyun shook his head repeatedly and waved his hand to refuse Song Song Qingming's suggestion.

That is also in Qinghe County. Will the Wang family have such a day of rise in the future?

Thinking of this, Wang Wang Daoyun looked up at Mount Mount Funiu behind him, revealed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, and then turned and strode away from the spot.

Regarding the Wang family's desire to cultivate a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Song Song Qingming also did not pay too much attention. The Song family was now a Golden Core immortal family. Having one or two more Foundation Establishment families in its territory would not have the slightest impact on the Song family's authority in its own territory. Instead, it could help them share some of the pressure of facing the surrounding spirit beasts.

Song Song Qingming smiled and replied: "Senior Brother Chen, some time ago when I went to the State of Wu with Senior Brother Chu, I heard him mention things related to the Heavenly Tower. Since then, I have been very curious about it. This time I came to borrow some handbooks related to this aspect of the sect. I don't know if Senior Brother Chen knows whether there are relevant records in the Merit Pavilion!"

They didn't go directly to the Xiaoyao Sect, which should also be out of consideration for this point, fearing that we would pursue this matter in the future," Song Song Yuanfang nodded and quickly analyzed.

In order to compete for the management of the sect's Merit Pavilion, the Xiaoyao Sect had been fighting openly and secretly and arguing endlessly since its founding. Later, for the sake of the sect's harmony and fairness, the Xiaoyao Sect began to implement a system of rotating management of the sect's Merit Pavilion. The sect's many elders rotated every ten years, a system that has been used to this day.

After searching around, they couldn't find it. After asking the Foundation Establishment cultivator on duty below, they discovered that these people were also not very clear about this matter. Several people helped to search the Merit Pavilion again, but still found nothing, so they could only helplessly send a sound transmission to invite the rotating elder of the Merit Pavilion to come.

Hearing that the Wang family had brought a third-tier spirit fruit to Mount Mount Funiu to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill, Song Song Yuanfang was also somewhat surprised and could not help but ask: "Seventh Great-Uncle, since the Wang family obtained a third-tier spirit fruit, they could have exchanged it for a Foundation Establishment Pill if they had taken it directly to the Xiaoyao Sect. But they insisted on offering it to you. Could it be that this item was obtained through improper means?"

"Hmm! Since you have this worry, then let this item be kept with me first."

A few days later, Song Song Qingming set off for the Xiaoyao Sect's Merit Pavilion, used the merit points in his hand to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill, and then Song Song Qingming went to the third floor of the Merit Pavilion alone to search for the handbooks related to the "Heavenly Tower" recorded by the sect.

You send a message to Qinghe Market tomorrow, let Yuan Tong arrange for people to investigate secretly. The Wang family should have obtained this item for less than half a year. It should not be difficult to find some clues."

The Merit Pavilion is a relatively important place in the sect, where many spirit items are stored. Because managing the Merit Pavilion can obtain many conveniences, this place has always been a place that many Golden Core elders of the Xiaoyao Sect most want to manage.

"That would be thanks to the ancestor!" After nodding and thanking him, having obtained Song Song Qingming's permission, Wang Wang Daoyun took the initiative to withdraw. Until he walked down Mount Mount Funiu, the heart that Wang Wang Daoyun had been holding tight finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Chen Xuanxin nodded slightly, took a scroll of handbook directly from his storage bag, threw it to the Foundation Establishment cultivator waiting on the side, and instructed him.

Seeing that Chen Chen Xuanxin actually carried this handbook with him, Song Song Qingming also immediately revealed a look of sudden realization. No wonder he couldn't find it no matter how he searched in the Merit Pavilion just now. It turned out that this thing was not here in the Merit Pavilion, but had always been in Chen Chen Xuanxin's hands.

After Chen Chen Xuanxin nodded slightly, he took a scroll of notes directly from his storage bag, tossed it to the Foundation Establishment cultivator waiting to the side, and then gave him an instruction.

Seeing that Chen Chen Xuanxin actually carried this scroll with him, Song Song Qingming immediately wore a look of sudden realization. No wonder he couldn't find it no matter how he looked in the Merit Pavilion earlier; it turned out this item wasn't in the Merit Pavilion at all, but had been in Chen Chen Xuanxin's hands the whole time.
