Chapter 569

Not long after entering the protective formation of Mount Mount Funiu with Song Song Yuanfang, Liu Liu Yuxin soon saw the bluestone gate structure that the Song family had erected at the mountain entrance.

Looking at the huge bluestone that had weathered the storms but still hadn't changed much, it immediately triggered memories in Liu Liu Yuxin's mind, making her unable to help but stop for a moment to observe it carefully.

When she left Mount Mount Funiu back then, Liu Liu Yuxin was still young, and many childhood memories had become blurred. However, she had a deep memory of the tall gate structure made of the large stones at the foot of the mountain.

"Has Fellow Daoist Liu been to Mount Mount Funiu before?" Seeing Liu Liu Yuxin's unusual behavior, Song Song Yuanfang sensed something was wrong and asked tentatively with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Liu Yuxin immediately woke up from her memories. After withdrawing her gaze, the expression on her face quickly returned to normal.

"I have indeed been here, but it was a long time ago, and I can't remember it very clearly!"

Song Song Yuanfang smiled and nodded slightly, "The spiritual vein of Mount Mount Funiu was only upgraded to the third-tier low-quality shortly after the Chen Chen Laozu reached Core Formation. Many places on the mountain have indeed changed a lot over the years. It is normal for you to be unfamiliar with it if you haven't been here for a long time."

"Hmm! What you say is true. After a long time, many things are indeed easy to forget. We have practiced for decades, while mortals have already passed through a lifetime in a hurry. I don't know how many memories can be left for us. Fellow Daoist Song Yuanfang, are your family members from before you started practicing still alive?"

After Liu Liu Yuxin finished speaking, her gaze shifted to a mortal town not far from the foot of the mountain.

"Hmm! That's fine. You are thoughtful. Later, go directly to Fu Sanshan and ask him for some high-quality spiritual wine. If that kid dares to play tricks with you again, just say it was my order!"

"Decades have passed, and I didn't expect you, Liu Yuxin, to have successfully reached Foundation Establishment. Seeing your path of cultivation go so smoothly, I am truly happy for you. Come quickly and taste these; I prepared them specifically for you."

"Greetings, Senior Song Qingyu!"

"This... I have been practicing for nearly a hundred years. My parents and siblings have long since passed away. However, there are still many descendants living at the foot of the mountain. Occasionally, when I have free time and think of them, I will go down the mountain to see them."

Hearing Liu Liu Yuxin mention her family members at the foot of the mountain, a hint of surprise gradually appeared on Song Song Yuanfang's face, and he was somewhat confused by her question.

Seeing the polite Liu Liu Yuxin, Song Song Qingyu smiled and nodded slightly, then waved her hand at Song Song Yuanfang to the side, "Song Yuanfang, thank you for your hard work. If you have nothing else to do, go down and get busy!"

Seeing Song Song Qingyu so happy, Song Song Yuanfang glanced at the stone table not far away and asked, "Grand-Aunt, you have a guest here today. Should I order the Treasure Collection Pavilion to send you some more spiritual wine later?"

Liu Liu Yuxin smiled and took the spiritual fruit handed over by Song Song Qingyu, saying coquettishly, "Heh! After being separated for so many years, I thought Senior Uncle Song Qingyu didn't like me anymore. It seems I thought too much. As expected, you still love me the most."

Liu Liu Yuxin nodded with a smile, and the two of them quickened their pace toward the top of the mountain!

After Song Song Yuanfang bowed and left the cave, Song Song Qingyu immediately stepped forward to close the cave door, restarted the formation barrier at the entrance, then turned to look at Liu Liu Yuxin, happily took her hand, and sat down to the side.

Without waiting for Song Song Yuanfang to think too much, Liu Liu Yuxin, who had been deep in thought, turned around and bowed slightly to Song Song Yuanfang.

An incense stick of time later, Song Song Qingyu, who had already placed plenty of spiritual tea and spiritual fruit on the stone table in the cave, saw Liu Liu Yuxin walking in with Song Song Yuanfang. Her face immediately broke into a smile, and she took the initiative to walk toward her.

"After hearing the words of Fellow Daoist Song Yuanfang just now, this young lady has also learned a lot."

"Although mortals have shorter lifespans than us cultivators, they don't have to experience the troubles we face in cultivation. Apart from the differences in wealth from birth, they are actually easier to satisfy in their daily lives than we are."

Seeing this, Song Song Yuanfang hurriedly waved his hand, "Heh! It was just a sigh from someone whose path of cultivation hasn't gone smoothly. Fellow Daoist Liu, you don't need to be so polite. Chen Chen Laozu Song Qingyu is waiting for you on the mountain, so let's hurry up, lest she wait too long!"

"You little white-eyed wolf, I left you so many cultivation pills when I left, and you've forgotten? I was the one who gave you your name back then. If I don't love you in this world, who else will?" After Song Song Qingyu finished speaking, she personally poured a cup of fragrant spiritual tea for Liu Liu Yuxin.

"Hmm! Senior Uncle Song Qingyu is the best to me." Liu Liu Yuxin picked up the spiritual tea on the table and echoed with a coquettish smile.

Liu Liu Yuxin, who had come to Mount Mount Funiu, was the little girl with a spiritual root surnamed Liu whom He He Mengxin had taken away from Liu Village at the foot of the mountain back then.

When Liu Liu Yuxin left Mount Mount Funiu, she was only five or six years old. She followed He He Mengxin and Song Song Qingyu to travel in the East Sea cultivation world. By the time Song Song Qingyu left them and returned from the East Sea, she had already grown into a graceful young girl.

Because they had spent nearly ten years together, and Song Song Qingyu had always loved and cared for this child who had walked out of Mount Mount Funiu, the relationship between Liu Liu Yuxin and Song Song Qingyu was naturally very close.

"Decades have passed, and your temper hasn't changed at all. You just came back and caused trouble at the foot of the mountain, and you even dared to fight with Song Changze and the others. Fortunately, Song Yuanfang and the others didn't make things too difficult for you; otherwise, if something happened to you, how would I explain it to your master?"

"You are blaming me wrongly. This time, it was that bunch of guys who were unreasonable and attacked me first. If you don't believe me, ask Fellow Daoist Song Yuanfang. But don't worry, they were no match for me. If I really couldn't beat them, I would have brought you out long ago."

Song Song Qingyu naturally knew that Liu Liu Yuxin was always a bit eccentric and never suffered a loss. Hearing this answer, she was not surprised and a look of helpless amusement appeared on her face.

"Liu Yuxin, has Sister He successfully reached Core Formation? Did you come back alone, or did you come back with your master?"

Hearing Song Song Qingyu mention her master, He He Mengxin, the smile on Liu Liu Yuxin's face instantly faded, replaced by a serious expression. She took out an unopened letter from her body and carefully handed it to Song Song Qingyu.

"Master successfully reached Core Formation six years ago. She couldn't get away from things over there, so she asked me to come back to find you first, saying she wanted to fulfill an agreement you both made back then.

Before I came, I asked Master, but she still refused to tell me what it was. She only instructed me to give this letter to you or Senior Song Song Qingming. I think you will understand everything after reading this."

"Oh! I have had many agreements with your master back then, and I really can't remember them for a moment."

Song Song Qingyu took the letter from Liu Liu Yuxin with a smile. After opening it and reading for a while, her gaze returned to Liu Liu Yuxin's face, and the expression on her face gradually became somewhat complicated.

"What's wrong, Senior Uncle? What exactly did Master say in the letter?" Seeing the unusual expression on Song Song Qingyu's face, Liu Liu Yuxin asked curiously.

"Liu Yuxin, you stay here first. I will have Song Yuanfang arrange a place for you to stay later. I cannot make the decision alone regarding what your master instructed; I need to discuss it with Seventh Brother.

Seventh Brother went to another place some time ago, and he should be back in a month or two. Don't worry, once I have discussed it with him, I will tell you everything you should know. For now, don't ask any more questions!" After Song Song Qingyu put away the letter, she replied to Liu Liu Yuxin with a serious face.

Seeing that the expression on Song Song Qingyu's face was unquestionable, although Liu Liu Yuxin was very confused, she didn't say anything more and could only nod obediently.

——

The eighth floor of the "Heaven-Reaching Tower," in a valley full of flames.

Li Li Mufeng was engaged in a fierce battle in mid-air with a giant bear monster of the Nascent Soul stage covered in flames. Bai Bai Yuxian and the others who came in with Li Li Mufeng were struggling to block hundreds of low-tier monsters also covered in flames not far away.

Following the fall of a larger Golden Core monster in front of them, Li Li Wutong hurriedly said to Bai Bai Yuxian to the side:

"Senior Sister Bai, although the remaining monsters are numerous, they only have the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage at most. Chen and I are enough to handle them here. You should go over and help Senior Uncle Li first!"

After glancing at the battlefield not far away, Bai Bai Yuxian nodded to Li Li Wutong and immediately turned into a streak of light, flying toward Li Li Mufeng.

The giant bear fighting Li Li Mufeng was a spiritual monster whose cultivation had reached the second layer of Nascent Soul. Although its cultivation was not much different from Li Li Mufeng's, as a spiritual monster formed by the restrictions in the "Heaven-Reaching Tower," this giant bear had no intelligence and relied entirely on the instincts of the restrictions to attack and defend.

After circling with the giant bear for a while, Li Li Mufeng, whose strength was much stronger than the opponent's, had already gained the upper hand. With Bai Bai Yuxian's help, Li Li Mufeng soon firmly suppressed his opponent.

Half an hour later, following a roar of unwillingness from the flame giant bear, Li Li Mufeng slashed and shattered the red core inside its body, ending the life of this spiritual monster.

After resolving his opponent, Li Li Mufeng quickly arrived at a place in the middle of the valley that was burning with intense flames.

Li Li Mufeng waved his hand to cast a blue shield, then stepped directly into the flames. After a while, he walked out, holding a golden ginseng emitting spiritual light.

Seeing the ginseng in Li Li Mufeng's hand, which was a high-level spiritual object with a quality as high as the fourth-tier low-quality, Bai Bai Yuxian and the other two, who had already resolved the remaining low-tier spiritual monsters, immediately showed an uncontrollable smile.

"Congratulations, Senior Uncle Li!"
