Chapter 545: What Use Is It

After receiving the task from Fire Phoenix to copy the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" notes, Song Qingming went directly to the Xiaoyao Sect and exchanged some precious spiritual tea that Fire Phoenix liked at the Merit Pavilion.

Afterward, he returned to the family spiritual land, Mount Funiu, and after bringing along many spiritual items he had prepared for years, he stepped onto his flying boat and went directly to Mount Tuoyun.

Although Song Qingming couldn't be said to know Fire Phoenix very well, ever since he met her, he had tasted the sweetness of pleasing her many times over the years, so he naturally wouldn't miss such a rare opportunity.

Just after arriving at Mount Tuoyun, Song Qingming walked directly toward Huang Siyuan's cave dwelling, wanting to ask her to help make a few more delicious spiritual dishes. Unexpectedly, just halfway there, he happened to meet Huang Siyuan, who was just about to walk down the mountain.

Seeing Song Qingming's figure, a smile immediately appeared on Huang Siyuan's face, and she stepped forward and said, "Husband, didn't you go to Mount Guyang? You finished your business so quickly!"

"It wasn't anything urgent, just suddenly remembered something I forgot to exchange at the Merit Pavilion last time. I had some free time, so I made a trip. What about you? What are you going down the mountain for?"

Huang Siyuan smiled and said, "What big things could I have now? It's just that I've been on the mountain for too long and want to go down for a walk! Don't worry, I have already set up a few more restrictions for Sister Qingyu and arranged for the Law Enforcement Team to come over. Leaving for a while won't be a problem!"

"That's fine! I also wanted to taste the spiritual food of Xianfeng Tower, so why don't I accompany you to the market for a walk."

"Haha! Then I'll trouble you, Husband. When we get to Xianfeng Tower, I will personally make a few more spiritual dishes for you!" Seeing Song Qingming rarely take the initiative to accompany her down the mountain, a trace of joy appeared in Huang Siyuan's heart.

After the two went down the mountain, they first strolled around the Mount Tuoyun market a few times, and then came together to the Xianfeng Tower opened by the Song family.

"Oh, yes!" Hearing Song Qingming's words, Wang Zhou nodded quickly as if relieved of a heavy burden, turned around, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and quickly left the second floor.

Hearing this, Song Qingming frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Did she say where she came from?"

After Wang Zhou was stunned for a moment, he replied somewhat nervously, "Reporting to Ancestor, inside is a female cultivator from outside. It is also her first time here, and I don't know her name."

"Who is the guest inside? Do you know her?"

"It's really scary. Ancestor Song hasn't come here to eat for years, why did he suddenly get interested today?"

Every time he came to the market, it was inevitable that he would attract attention. Song Qingming felt a bit helpless about this. It seemed that next time he had a chance, he would have to learn a spell that could change his appearance at will, so as not to be so troublesome every time he went out.

Song Qingming glanced at the people in the shop, nodded slightly, and under the guidance of the shop assistant, he and Huang Siyuan walked past the crowd and went up to the second floor.

Song Qingming glanced at Wang Zhou, ignored the low-level shop assistant of Xianfeng Tower, and walked past him directly.

After the two went up to the second floor, the door of a private room in front suddenly opened. Wang Zhou, who was holding a tray, had just walked out. After seeing Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan in front of him, he was surprised and immediately stood to the side and bowed respectfully and loudly.

"Greetings, Senior Song!" Seeing Song Qingming, the Jin Dan ancestor, walk into the shop, the many cultivators in Xianfeng Tower immediately stood up to salute, looking nervous.

Wang Zhou, whose face was pale with fright, raised his head and closed the door of the private room behind him. Just as he was about to leave, Song Qingming, who had already walked past, suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.

A moment later, Song Qingming's expression changed slightly. He opened his eyes wide and said to Wang Zhou, who was already trembling, "You go down first. You don't need to serve the guests here!"

"Qinghe Market!" Song Qingming muttered these three words, stood in place and thought for a moment, then closed his eyes and released his spiritual sense.

Thinking that he had just been talking about this Ancestor Song inside, he didn't expect to see Song Qingming himself so soon. Wang Zhou, with a trace of panic on his face, hurriedly lowered his head, fearing that Song Qingming would notice him.

"This... oh! She just said she had been to Qinghe Market, it seems she is from Qinghe County!"

"Husband, what's wrong? Who is inside?"

Huang Siyuan, who was on the side, saw this scene and was also full of confusion. She couldn't help but turn and ask Song Qingming.

Song Qingming heard this, immediately restored his somewhat ugly expression, tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said, "Haha! It's a good friend I knew before. I didn't expect to meet her here. I'll go in and say hello to her. You go arrange to send some delicious spiritual food over first!"

Huang Siyuan nodded with a smile and said, "It's rare to have such a coincidence. Then Husband, you go in first, I'll go down and arrange it before coming over!"

"Mm! You go get busy first."

After Huang Siyuan also left the second floor, Song Qingming carefully looked around. After finding no one else, he knocked on the door lightly, opened it, and walked in.

In the private room, Fire Phoenix in red was standing by the window with her hands behind her back, looking at the crowd coming and going on the street below. After hearing the sound of Song Qingming coming in, she slowly turned around and asked directly:

"Did you get what I wanted?"

Song Qingming heard this, his right hand immediately waved gently, and he took out a scroll of notes from the storage bag at his waist and respectfully presented it to Fire Phoenix.

"I have not failed your Highness's trust. This scroll is the notes on the Heaven-Reaching Tower treasured by the sect."

Fire Phoenix beckoned with one hand, immediately took the notes from Song Qingming's hand, glanced at it slightly, and put it into her waist.

"Your Highness, don't worry. This scroll of notes had already been borrowed by a Jin Dan elder of the sect. I also spent a lot of effort and finally found him and copied a copy from him. It is absolutely true. Later, I also confirmed it at the Merit Pavilion. There is only this scroll of notes about the Heaven-Reaching Tower within the sect."

"Mm! You've worked hard. Don't worry, I definitely won't treat you unfairly."

Fire Phoenix nodded with satisfaction, walked to the table and sat down, pointed to the chair beside her, signaled Song Qingming to sit down, and then asked, "What reward do you want this time? If you have thought about it, just say it directly. As long as it is not too excessive, I can promise you."

Song Qingming heard Fire Phoenix's words, hesitated for a moment in his heart, and said firmly, "Your Highness, you are looking for these notes about the Heaven-Reaching Tower, you should be going to the tower to look for treasure! I wonder if you can take me in with you."

After hearing the news of the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" from Chen Xuanxin, Song Qingming had never made up his mind to enter the tower to explore for treasure. It was not until Fire Phoenix appeared this time that Song Qingming finally made this difficult decision.

His cultivation base is only at the second layer of Jin Dan. Even if he could go to the Heaven-Reaching Tower with Jin Ziyuan and the others, their overall strength is too poor, and they can only stay in the bottom three layers. Not to mention that their own safety cannot be guaranteed, and there is basically no chance to find the opportunity he wants.

But if he could follow Fire Phoenix in, with her profound cultivation base of the Nascent Soul stage, entering the middle three layers of the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" that Song Qingming wanted to go to would definitely be an easy task. Maybe he would even have a chance to follow her to see the last three layers of the mysterious "Heaven-Reaching Tower".

Fire Phoenix, a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor, came to look for notes about the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" at this time. Song Qingming didn't need to think to understand that she must be preparing in advance to enter the "Heaven-Reaching Tower".

From the time he met Fire Phoenix to when he explored the Taiyue Lake Secret Realm with her, Song Qingming could also feel that Fire Phoenix was also a person who liked adventure very much and was very interested in these secret realms containing secret treasures. The attraction of the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" to her must be much stronger than to Song Qingming.

Hearing Song Qingming's request, Fire Phoenix showed a trace of surprise on her face and said with a chuckle:

"Humph! The Xiaoyao Sect should also have people going in this time, right? If you want to enter the Heaven-Reaching Tower, just go find them. Why do you have to go far and follow me in? Do you think that I, a member of the demon race, am easier to talk to than them?"

Song Qingming heard this, shook his head at Fire Phoenix helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, you don't know. The sect will indeed select a few Jin Dan elders to go in this time, but because I am weak, I was not qualified to be favored by the sect's Supreme Elder.

You also know that the Heaven-Reaching Tower is extremely dangerous. Even Jin Dan cultivators are difficult to move an inch inside. Without a Nascent Soul cultivator like you to look after me, my meager cultivation base would probably be hard to protect myself inside, let alone look for opportunities."

"Oh! I just heard that Chen Chen Laozu Song displayed great divine power a few days ago, beating the invading Demon King until he fled with his tail between his legs. How is it that your strength is so meager now? Could it be that you are being too modest in front of me!" Huo Feng narrowed her eyes and spoke with a meaningful tone.

"What, this must be the nonsense made up by those low-level cultivators who don't know the truth. Your Highness, you have really wronged me. I went to Mount Guyang to do things for you these days and was not on the mountain at all. This is just back!" Hearing this, Song Qingming was stunned for a moment with some embarrassment, and immediately explained.

He only fought "Long Feng" for a few rounds that day, and then left Mount Tuoyun one after another. Where did he show any great power?

Song Qingming didn't know that it was only a matter of one or two rounds at the time, but it had completely changed its taste when it reached Fire Phoenix's ears a few days later. Somewhat helpless, he could only scold the person with such a big mouth several times in his heart.

"Humph! If you are really powerful and can beat Long Feng, I can consider taking you in. But what use can a person who only knows how to brag be to me inside? You tell me."
