Chapter 540: Inherited in the Same Line (Added for Alliance Leader Kumu)

After getting the copied handbook and leaving the Merit Pavilion, Song Song Qingming specifically came to a cave on the north side of Mount Mount Guyang to visit Song Song Xinyu, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Upon meeting, seeing that Song Song Xinyu's complexion was not very good, as if he was injured, Song Song Qingming asked in detail and learned that Song Song Xinyu had unfortunately made a mistake when he went into seclusion to break through the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment not long ago, injuring the meridians in his body.

Song Song Xinyu's cultivation base had broken through to the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment for nearly twenty years. Over these years, he had failed to successfully break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. It was clear that he was somewhat anxious in his heart. Forcing a breakthrough in seclusion would inevitably lead to injuries like this due to the backlash of spiritual energy in his body.

Fortunately, this kind of breakthrough in a small realm would not be as dangerous as Foundation Establishment or Core Formation. Although Song Song Xinyu injured his meridians, the injury was not very serious, and he only needed to recuperate for two or three years to slowly recover.

Song Song Qingming carefully checked Song Song Xinyu's injuries and, after confirming that there was no major problem, gradually felt relieved.

After leaving a few second-tier healing elixirs refined by Huang Huang Siyuan for Song Song Xinyu, he exhorted Song Song Xinyu a few words, telling him to relax first, not to be anxious about cultivation, and to wait until his injuries were healed before talking.

Facing Song Song Qingming's care, Song Song Xinyu was moved, and his face also carried a hint of shame. Since he was tested for his spirit root by the family and entered the path of cultivation, Song Song Xinyu had basically been smooth sailing in cultivation his whole life.

Except for helping Song Song Yuanrong with a sum of spirit stones, Song Song Qingming rarely saw these younger members of the family. He was also somewhat happy in his heart. Not only did he personally give them some pointers in the cave, but before leaving, he also generously bestowed a few top-grade spirit talismans on each of them, which made the people who received these spirit items excited for a long time.

Although they had taken root in the Xiaoyao Sect, they were ultimately bloodlines inherited in the same line as the family. When the family was thriving and capable, Song Song Qingming, the family ancestor, was also very willing to help them a little.

Song Song Qingming did not know whether this was intentionally done by the seniors of the Xiaoyao Sect and not recorded in the handbook, or because the last three layers were too dangerous, and they indeed rarely ventured into them.

After a long while, Song Song Qingming opened his eyes, put down the handbook with satisfaction, and put it back into his storage magic tool.

"Song Yuanrong, your cultivation base is also almost ready for Foundation Establishment. How is your preparation recently? How much sect merit is still missing to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Thinking that his own cultivation was not going well and had made Song Song Qingming, a family elder he respected, so worried, Song Song Xinyu felt ashamed in his heart and could only force a smile, pretending that he had no major problems in his heart.

Song Song Yuanrong was one of the younger members of the Song family's "Yuan" generation, more than ten years younger than Song Song Yuanxue. He was also personally selected by Song Song Qingming and sent to the Xiaoyao Sect back then, and he worshipped under the sect of Bai Bai Yunhua, a friend Song Song Qingming knew before.

Song Song Yuanfang did not express much about this. Not to mention whether the Wang family could support a Foundation Establishment cultivator after obtaining this Foundation Establishment Pill, even if the Wang family could be promoted to a Foundation Establishment family this time, they were still a subordinate family under the Song family. Whether they were loyal or not was not something they could decide for themselves.

"Follow the ancestor's teachings!" After hearing Song Song Qingming's instructions, these people also hurriedly bowed and responded.

"If this Heavenly Tower could open a hundred years later, by then my cultivation base should have at least entered the mid-Golden Core realm. Entering the tower would also give me a few more points of self-protection."

After chatting with Song Song Qingming about his own affairs, Song Song Xinyu began to talk about other younger members of the family in the Xiaoyao Sect.

After Lu Lu Xingde of the Lu family of Mount Mount Tiexian died, although their family received a Foundation Establishment Pill as compensation, unfortunately, because of the internal strife in the family, they hurriedly chose a cultivator with average talent to take the Foundation Establishment Pill. The result was self-evident, and it eventually failed.

Although Song Song Qingming promised to protect them for thirty years after Lu Lu Xingde died, the Lu family was now in decline, and the cultivators in the clan had completely lost the courage to stay beside the Li family.

However, although Song Song Qingming now had the idea of wanting to break into the "Heavenly Tower," he had not yet made up his mind completely. After all, although opportunities could be found inside, from what he understood, it was also very dangerous.

The content recorded in this handbook about the "Heavenly Tower," besides what Song Song Qingming had already inquired about from Chen Chen Xuanxin, also recorded some detailed locations where the "Heavenly Tower" appeared each time, as well as places in the tower where precious spirit items might be found.

However, since breaking through the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment, Song Song Xinyu's good luck seemed to have come to an end. His cultivation base also suddenly encountered a great bottleneck. Even though he had taken quite a few auxiliary elixirs, he had failed several times to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and instead accidentally injured his own meridians.

Fortunately, with Song Song Qingming, a guest elder of the sect, these people, even if their status in the sect was not very high, no one dared to bully them at will, and their days were much better than ordinary sect disciples who were not favored.

Wang Wang Huaqing's cultivation talent was quite good. He was a dual spirit root cultivator. However, this person was a dual spirit root cultivator with conflicting water and fire attributes. His future prospects could only be said to be average, far inferior to Song Song Yuanli and Gao Gao Yubai, who were also dual spirit root cultivators.

Song Song Yuanrong bowed and replied with a smile: "Reporting to Seventh Great-Uncle, my master has already helped me with the bulk of it. I have almost gathered enough merit to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill, so there is no need for the family to worry."

Standing on the "Phantom Boat," Song Song Qingming sighed slightly at the thought of this. For a while, it was difficult for him to decide whether he should take this risk next.

"I hope you can take Song Xinyu as an example and successfully establish your foundation soon. When that time comes, I will definitely come to Mount Mount Guyang to celebrate for you properly."

High-tier spirit items that can help Golden Core cultivators are very rare in the cultivation world. In a place like the State of Wei, where cultivation resources are relatively barren, it is even harder for Song Song Qingming to find any great opportunities. Currently, it seems that only this "Heavenly Tower," which is about to open, has given Song Song Qingming a glimpse of a relatively large opportunity.

However, the records inside are basically the locations of the first six layers of the "Heavenly Tower." As for the information about the last three layers, there are only a few words recorded in this handbook. As for what good things can be found inside, the handbook does not even mention a word.

"In the future, you still need to cultivate diligently in the sect and do not disgrace the family's reputation. If you encounter anything in cultivation that needs help, you can also come to Song Xinyu first. We are all family, and here you all still need to try to help each other as much as possible."

Song Song Qingming, who was sitting on the flying boat, took out the handbook he had just obtained from the Merit Pavilion in his spare time, stuck it on his forehead, and closed his eyes to check it with his spiritual sense.

Song Song Qingming pondered for a moment and said: "Since you called Song Yuanrong, then just call all the other younger members in the sect over. I happen to be able to see them."

Song Song Xinyu revealed a hint of joy, hurriedly walked out and gave a few instructions to several disciples. Not long after, five or six Qi Condensation disciples with different cultivation bases appeared in Song Song Xinyu's cave.

After receiving the bag of spirit stones handed over by Song Song Qingming, Song Song Yuanrong also felt a burst of emotion in his heart. Since he worshipped into the Xiaoyao Sect, he had basically been cultivating on Mount Mount Guyang all these years and rarely returned to the family. He did not expect that at the critical moment of his Foundation Establishment, the family ancestor would personally come to Mount Mount Guyang to care about this little matter.

These are basically records of Xiaoyao Sect cultivators who entered it and returned to record it based on their own memories. It can still be of some help to cultivators who want to enter it.

Because of Song Song Qingming, the guest elder of the sect, Bai Bai Yunhua's teaching of his disciple Song Song Yuanrong was also very attentive. After Song Song Yuanrong cultivated to the ninth layer of Qi Condensation, Bai Bai Yunhua also personally came forward and had already helped him gather enough sect merit to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill early on.

"Although you are all in the Xiaoyao Sect, your ancestors all came from Mount Mount Funiu, and you are all Song family bloodlines inherited in the same line as me. Don't worry, no matter what, I will not treat you all as outsiders. If anyone among you wants to return to Mount Mount Funiu in the future, the family will also try to give you all a place to settle down."

The difficulty of breaking through the Nascent Soul realm is definitely several times more difficult than Core Formation. Song Song Qingming also understood in his heart that his own cultivation talent was average, and it was impossible for someone to help him every time. If he wanted to reach this step of Nascent Soul, he also had to think of a way to speed up his cultivation speed.

However, being able to inquire about so many detailed situations about the "Heavenly Tower" from Chen Chen Xuanxin's mouth this time, to be honest, had already exceeded Song Song Qingming's expectations.

In the twenty years after the spirit beast turmoil, besides the Wang family that had just been promoted to a Foundation Establishment immortal family, several other Foundation Establishment families in Qinghe County had also experienced quite a few major events.

"Seventh Uncle, Song Yuanrong cultivated to the ninth layer of Qi Condensation last year and is preparing for Foundation Establishment. Originally, I also wanted to write to you recently to see how we should support him. Since you happened to arrive here today, do you want to call him over?"

Thinking back to when Song Song Qingming formed his core, it was also full of twists and turns. Finally, he relied on the help of the Fire Phoenix to succeed. Otherwise, he might not necessarily be able to reach this step now.

After reaching the Golden Core realm, it is no longer as easy as it was in the Foundation Establishment stage to find spirit items that can help Song Song Qingming's cultivation outside. If he wants to continue to secretly accumulate spirit stones as before and then go to the market to buy the spirit items needed for his cultivation to speed up his cultivation speed and improve his cultivation base, it is already impossible for Song Song Qingming now.

After worshipping into the Xiaoyao Sect, although Song Song Xinyu could not be counted as having particularly outstanding talent in the sect, his path of cultivation was also smooth sailing. With the support of his teachers and the family, he did not spend much effort to successfully establish his foundation and cultivated all the way to his current cultivation base.

"It seems that your master treats you quite well. However, the matter of Foundation Establishment still needs to be cautious. In this way, I will represent the family and subsidize you with two thousand spirit stones, which can also allow you to purchase more auxiliary spirit items for Foundation Establishment and be better prepared."

One year later, the Wang family, which obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill, truly turned their luck around and supported a Foundation Establishment cultivator, "Wang Wang Huaqing." The Wang family was therefore promoted to the fourth Foundation Establishment family in Qinghe County besides the Huang, Gao, and Li families.

There were also three people who were descendants of Song family cultivators who worshipped into the Xiaoyao Sect long ago. They were seeing Song Song Qingming, the family ancestor who was far away thousands of miles, for the first time. Being able to see a Golden Core cultivator who was usually high above at such a close distance also made them feel excited.

Song Song Qingming nodded slightly and asked the person with the highest cultivation base among them.

After returning to Mount Mount Funiu, Song Song Qingming directly handed the Foundation Establishment Pill he had just exchanged from the Merit Pavilion to Song Song Yuanfang, asking him to send it to Mount Mount Fengtou personally.

After Wang Wang Daoyun saw this Foundation Establishment Pill, his heart was also extremely excited. After thanking Song Song Yuanfang profusely, he even made a vow on the spot to express his family's loyalty to the Song family.

But if he missed this opportunity, it would be at least three hundred years before the "Heavenly Tower" appeared again. By then, his lifespan would be close to five hundred years old. Even if he could get some opportunities in the "Heavenly Tower," I am afraid it would already be somewhat late.

When he was young on Mount Mount Funiu, Song Song Xinyu was a well-known genius among the "Xin" generation of the Song family. His cultivation speed was far beyond his peers, which could be called youthful success.

The reason Song Song Qingming spent so much effort inquiring about the "Heavenly Tower" in the Merit Pavilion was also because since he knew about the existence of the "Heavenly Tower," Song Song Qingming had always had no small interest in it.

Except for Song Song Yuanrong, whose cultivation was relatively smooth, the other several people were also in the Xiaoyao Sect, but their own cultivation bases did not improve as fast as his. Even if the family could help a little, it would be very difficult to have a chance to establish a foundation in the future. Seeing Song Song Yuanrong now, although they were incomparably envious in their hearts, they could only sigh to themselves.

Among these people, there were also several who, like Song Song Xinyu, were selected by the family and sent to Mount Mount Guyang to worship into the Xiaoyao Sect.

"That's good. They haven't seen you for a long time. If they knew you had arrived here, I don't know how happy they would be!"

After seeing off these younger members who were still somewhat reluctant to part, Song Song Qingming exhorted Song Song Xinyu a few words, then left Mount Mount Guyang with peace of mind, stepped onto the "Phantom Boat," and returned directly to Mount Mount Funiu.

The best age to break through to the Nascent Soul realm is before four hundred years old. Once it is dragged past five hundred years old, basically, the opportunity to advance to Nascent Soul has been completely lost.

After seeking help from Mount Mount Funiu several times and obtaining Song Song Yuanfang's consent, a portion of the Lu family cultivators directly abandoned their original family spiritual mountain and moved their family mortals to the vicinity of Mount Mount Funiu, becoming a Qi Condensation family in the Song family's territory.

Another portion of people could not accept the fate of the family's decline and chose to leave Qinghe County and become loose cultivators. Not long after, the second-tier spiritual vein of the Lu family, Mount Mount Tiexian, also fell into the hands of the Li family without any accidents.
