Chapter 549: What Thing?

Seeing the worry on Huang Huang Siyuan's face, Song Song Qingming also understood her thoughts, but he still shook his head solemnly:

"This time going to the Heaven-Reaching Tower, the sect has mobilized most of its high-tier cultivators. Once any changes occur at Mount Mount Tuoyun, I'm afraid they won't necessarily be able to arrive in time to support. For the sake of safety, you and Song Qingyu should return to the family to live for a period of time. No matter what happens, wait until I return before talking about it!"

"As for Lin Lin Yutang's side, I will speak directly to him about this. The agreement between him and me was only to protect Mount Mount Tuoyun in name; I never promised to look after them for a lifetime. If he has thoughts just because I am leaving for a few months, then it is fine to end the agreement with them now."

"You don't need to care too much about these things the family has in the market. Even if the family loses these things, it won't have too much of an impact. You and Song Qingyu are both people who have hopes of forming a Golden Core in the future. For the family, your safety is the most important top priority. Don't lose the big for the small here."

Huang Huang Siyuan nodded slightly: "Hmm! Husband, rest assured, I understand what you mean. I will go find Sister Song Qingyu now and come back to bid you farewell together later."

No sooner had Huang Huang Siyuan left than Song Song Qingming immediately sent a sound transmission talisman, summoning Lin Lin Yutang and the Zhang Rong brothers to the summit, and directly confessed to them that he was going out.

In recent years, there have been rumors of secret realms about to appear in many places around the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, including the northern border of the State of Wei. Lin Lin Yutang and the others had naturally heard many of them long ago.

Although Song Song Qingming didn't directly say where he was going this time and only claimed that the sect had a mission to execute, hearing that Song Song Qingming was leaving for such a long time, Lin Lin Yutang still vaguely felt that this Song ancestor suddenly leaving at this time might be related to the rumors that were spreading like wildfire outside.

However, Lin Lin Yutang was also a shrewd person who had been in the cultivation world for nearly two hundred years. Naturally, he knew what things he shouldn't ask about in front of Song Song Qingming.

"Senior, rest assured, we will definitely not let anyone else know about this. It is all thanks to you that the mountain has been peaceful for so long. We haven't had any good opportunities to perform well these years, but this time we definitely won't let you down."

Knowing that Song Song Qingming was leaving this time, Lin Lin Yutang not only didn't dare to say much, but instead showed a confident look in front of Song Song Qingming with a relaxed tone.

The bamboo slip in Song Song Qingming's hand was exactly the "Hidden Origin Art" he had transcribed from the Jade Profound Scripture. This secret technique could increase an ordinary cultivator's probability of forming a Golden Core by twenty percent, and it was also an important help that finally allowed Song Song Qingming to succeed in forming his Golden Core back then.

"However, this method is very precious. You can only practice it yourselves; you must never let anyone else know, not even Song Yuanli and the others. Otherwise, once it is known by outsiders, I'm afraid it will bring a disaster of extinction to the entire family. You must not be careless in the future."

"Seventh Brother, Sister-in-law and I are both ready. We will leave Mount Mount Tuoyun in a moment. Rest assured, with us at home, we won't let you worry while you are away."

This time, failing to form the Golden Core in seclusion could be considered the first setback Song Song Qingyu had encountered on her cultivation path. However, because she had some psychological preparation in advance, it didn't have too much of an impact on her. Instead, it made Song Song Qingyu realize the difficulty of achieving the Golden Core Great Dao, and her cultivation had become much more diligent now.

Just after finishing these things, Huang Huang Siyuan and Song Song Qingyu had also packed up and came to Song Song Qingming's place to bid him farewell.

After sending off the Lin Lin Yutang brothers, Song Song Qingming tidied up his cave dwelling slightly and set up several formation restrictions at the entrance, pretending that he was still in seclusion in the cave dwelling at the summit.

Song Song Qingming nodded upon hearing this, revealing a gratified smile. He raised his right hand slightly, and a bamboo slip appeared in his hand, which he handed to Song Song Qingyu.

To maintain the relationship between Mount Mount Tuoyun and the Song family for a long time, Lin Lin Yutang and the others also needed to find opportunities to prove their abilities in front of Song Song Qingming. Even when Song Song Qingming was not there, they had the confidence to guard Mount Mount Tuoyun well.

"You don't need to worry. I will speak to the Sect Master Senior Brother before I leave, asking the sect to look after you a bit more. If you encounter anything that is not easy to solve, send a letter to Mount Mount Guyang!" Seeing Lin Lin Yutang's performance, Song Song Qingming nodded in satisfaction and comforted them again.

"This secret technique was obtained by chance at Mount Guiyun Market back then. It is a very rare method that can increase a cultivator's probability of forming a Golden Core. If you start practicing it now, it's not too late; it will definitely be of some help to your future Golden Core formation."

After so many years, Lin Lin Yutang knew very well in his heart that the agreement between Mount Mount Tuoyun and Song Song Qingming now was, to put it bluntly, spending spirit stones to borrow the prestige of this Song ancestor before him. Song Song Qingming had never made too many guarantees to them.

This time, going to the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" secret realm was dangerously unpredictable. After thinking it over repeatedly, Song Song Qingming decided to pass on the secret technique he had treasured for many years to Song Song Qingyu and Huang Huang Siyuan before leaving.

Regardless of whether he could return safely this time, with Song Song Qingyu's current foundation plus the assistance of the "Hidden Origin Art," as long as she could find one or two Golden Core formation spiritual items in the future, she should have a great grasp of successfully forming a Golden Core.

Hearing Song Song Qingming explain that the bamboo slip in his hand was actually a secret technique to assist in Golden Core formation, Song Song Qingyu and Huang Huang Siyuan both showed a look of shock, looking somewhat incredulous.

You must know that secret techniques that can assist in Golden Core formation are very precious spiritual items in the cultivation world. They are at least things that only those old-brand Golden Core sects, or even forces at the Nascent Soul level, might possess.

Even though the Song family had now been promoted to a Golden Core family, they still didn't have enough ability to keep such a precious secret technique of this level. Not to mention anything else, once the Xiaoyao Sect learned of this matter, I'm afraid the Song family would only be able to obediently offer up this secret technique by then.

Seeing the serious and earnest expression on Song Song Qingming's face after he finished speaking, Song Song Qingyu and Huang Huang Siyuan immediately understood the severity of the matter. They nodded solemnly, agreed to the matter, and carefully put away the bamboo slip in their hands.

Song Song Qingming nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Huang Huang Siyuan, and then took a jade ruler from his body and handed it to her.

"This talisman treasure was obtained from Iron Immortal Castle last time. Huang Siyuan, you keep it first. While I am away, the family is entrusted to you and Song Qingyu to look after!"

Seeing the talisman treasure "Green Leaf Three-Star Ruler," although Huang Huang Siyuan was somewhat surprised, she didn't open her mouth to decline and directly accepted this precious spiritual item generously.

Song Song Qingyu and Huang Huang Siyuan both had cultivation at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment. With the two of them plus the third-tier mountain-protecting formation Song Song Qingming had set up on Mount Mount Funiu a few years ago, even an ordinary Golden Core cultivator would find it unlikely to break through the mountain-protecting formation on the mountain in a short time. Song Song Qingming didn't have too much worry about the safety of Mount Mount Funiu.

After handing these two items to Song Song Qingyu and the other, Song Song Qingming personally saw them off for a distance before rushing to the Xiaoyao Sect alone.

After arriving at Mount Mount Guyang, Song Song Qingming first went to Xu Cheng Ziyan's place, entrusting her to look after the Song family territory while he was away. Xu Cheng Ziyan also agreed very generously to this.

Because Xu Cheng Ziyan had only just formed her Golden Core, this Golden Core elder didn't hold too many positions in the sect yet, so she was relatively free. Facing this request from Song Song Qingming, who had been a benefactor to her path of Dao in the past, Xu Cheng Ziyan agreed to the matter without even thinking.

Originally, Xu Cheng Ziyan also had the idea of following Song Song Qingming and the others to break into the "Heaven-Reaching Tower." However, after Sect Master Yao Yao Ganshu learned of this, he was very worried about the matter and came to her place to persuade her, which finally made Xu Cheng Ziyan put aside this idea.

After all, she had only just formed her Golden Core, and her cultivation was only at the first layer of Golden Core. Although she had already refined her natal magic treasure, Xu Cheng Ziyan's current strength was definitely much stronger than a False Core cultivator like Hu Hu Tianren. But the "Heaven-Reaching Tower" was incomparably dangerous, and with Xu Cheng Ziyan's current cultivation, going there was indeed still too dangerous.

After leaving Xu Cheng Ziyan's place, Song Song Qingming went straight to the sect's Merit Pavilion to exchange for some mid-grade spirit stones for emergencies, and finally came to the spiritual mountain where Zhao Zhao Menglian practiced daily on the north side of Mount Mount Guyang.

The spiritual mountain where Zhao Zhao Menglian practiced not only had very rich and abundant spiritual energy but was also a rare place of birds singing and flowers fragrant. Unlike other Golden Core elders of the Xiaoyao Sect, apart from cultivation, the thing Zhao Zhao Menglian liked most on weekdays was tinkering with these various flowers and plants that could be seen in the secular world.

For this reason, Zhao Zhao Menglian also specially chose the spiritual planting technique for cultivation. Now, she was also a rare third-tier low-quality spiritual planter in the Xiaoyao Sect, managing a very important industry on Mount Mount Guyang, the sect's spiritual medicine garden.

Just after arriving at this spiritual mountain of Zhao Zhao Menglian's, two young female disciples with graceful figures immediately greeted them. After respectfully saluting Song Song Qingming, they led him all the way to Zhao Zhao Menglian's cave dwelling.

Just after Song Song Qingming walked into the cave dwelling, he looked up and found that Jin Wu Ziyuan had also arrived one step ahead. At this moment, he was drinking tea and chatting with Zhao Zhao Menglian, so he hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted the two.

"Senior Sister Zhao, Senior Brother Jin, sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Haha! Junior Brother Song, you finally came. How is it? Everything at home is arranged, right!" After Zhao Zhao Menglian stood up and returned the salute, she immediately greeted Song Song Qingming to sit down together.

"Senior Sister Zhao, rest assured, everything is ready on my side. However, when I left the sect yesterday, I heard Junior Brother Hu tell me that he also wants to set off with us this time. I wonder if Senior Sister Zhao is already aware of this matter?"

Hearing Song Song Qingming ask this, Jin Wu Ziyuan, who was sitting on the side, immediately snorted coldly with disdain: "Hmph! What kind of thing is he, to dare to open such a big mouth and travel with us."
