Chapter 587: Bad luck

Feng He heard this, smiled, and waved his hand: "Hehe! I, the Old Ancestor, was once a Nascent Soul cultivator after all. No matter what, it's impossible for me to take advantage of a Foundation Establishment cultivator like you. Since I opened my mouth and promised you, what is there to thank me for!"

"No matter what, Senior has always helped the junior. It is only right for me to bow to you."

Looking at Song Qingming bowing to him again, Feng He did not refuse anymore, nodded lightly, and asked again:

"I say, you kid, with only the cultivation of the third layer of Jin Dan, how dare you run to the eighth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower? And what is going on with that Nascent Soul demon cultivator woman inside?

I thought that when you agreed to help me seize a body and re-practice back then, your courage was already big enough. I didn't expect that you would actually have such a good relationship with a Nascent Soul Imperial Demon. It seems I underestimated you kid too much back then!"

Hearing Feng He mention Huo Feng, Song Qingming was also slightly silent. Back then, choosing to help Huo Feng do some things in order to survive was indeed a helpless move.

Even he himself didn't feel it, but unknowingly, how did his courage get bigger and bigger, to the point where he dared to take the initiative to cooperate with a Nascent Soul Imperial Demon like Huo Feng?

It seemed it was indeed a bit difficult to explain his current situation to others.

"The Senior and I are just temporarily cooperating to come in and search for treasures; there is no other relationship. Senior Feng He had better not misunderstand."

"Hehe! You can rest assured. My magic treasure has some strange aspects. Even the spiritual sense of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator is difficult to easily penetrate. Even if she were not injured, with our conversation now, it is impossible for her to hear it."

Song Qingming shook his head and smiled: "What the junior said just now is all the truth. Senior is indeed overestimating me."

"Unexpectedly, in just a few decades, Senior's cultivation has already reached the late-stage Jin Dan. I think recovering your past cultivation is definitely something that can be expected soon. The junior is here to congratulate Senior in advance!"

Song Qingming changed the subject and smiled, cupping his hands to Feng He again.

Feng He heard this and immediately said happily: "Don't say, after not seeing each other for so many years, you kid's way of speaking hasn't changed at all, making people feel inexplicably comfortable in their hearts when they hear it."

"However, although I was once a Nascent Soul cultivator, practicing is much faster than you ordinary Jin Dan cultivators. But wanting to break through to the Nascent Soul realm is also not as easy as you imagine.

If you kid could have agreed to cooperate with me just now, it could have saved me quite a lot of cultivation time. It's a pity that you are still a bit reluctant!"

After Feng He finished speaking, his gaze turned to Song Qingming with a complex look, as if wanting to see something he wanted from his face.

Seeing this, Song Qingming could only accompany him with a smile: "Senior, you do not know. She and you are both people who have given me great kindness back then. Although I cannot be called a righteous gentleman, I am also not a shameless villain who forgets favors.

Senior was with me for so long back then; you should also understand this about me."

"Well said, that is indeed the case! Although your cultivation talent is not very good, your character is indeed worthy of me, the Old Ancestor, praising you a few times.

You can rest assured. I, the Old Ancestor, have no thoughts about your friend. Just now, I was only testing you with words. Although she is seriously injured, she is after all a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if the two of us join forces, it is not certain that we can kill her easily."

After Feng He finished speaking, he threw the "Blood Dragon Fruit" Song Qingming had given him back to him.

"This thing is of no great use to me now. I'd better return it to you!"

Seeing this, Song Qingming did not stand on ceremony, collected it directly, and asked again: "Senior! Are you also here in the Heaven-Reaching Tower to search for spiritual objects?"

"Not bad! Although I do not have a Heaven-Reaching Token, I also came in once back then. This time, I came precisely to take some things that are useful to me. Who would have thought that I would run into you here? Sure enough, I, the Old Ancestor, still have a bit of fate with you kid."

"Senior, where have you been practicing all these years? Why don't you come back to Qinghe Market to take a look? The junior has not received any news of you all these years, and I have often been a bit concerned in my heart."

Feng He glanced at Song Qingming: "What are you kid concerned about regarding me? Could it be that you are afraid that I will be caught by someone and sell you out?"

"You can rest assured! After all, I was once a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although my current cultivation is only at the sixth layer of Jin Dan, I, the Old Ancestor, have not yet put cultivators below the Nascent Soul in my eyes."

Hearing this, Song Qingming hurriedly shook his head: "Senior misunderstood. Back then, you were harmed by others; I think the other party is also not a good person. The junior is also a bit worried that you are alone and weak."

"Alright, alright! Why are you kid so long-winded when we meet? When is it your turn to worry about my affairs? Don't think that just because you have successfully formed your Jin Dan now, you can be considered a figure."

Not to mention the cultivation world outside, even in this Heaven-Reaching Tower, there are no less than a hundred people who can crush you to death with a wave of their hands.

When your cultivation is higher, go out and walk more. You will know how big this cultivation world is. Don't always stay in your own one-third of an acre and be ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."

Facing Feng He's sarcastic words, Song Qingming didn't care at all in his heart. Having spent such a long time together back then, Song Qingming also knew that Feng He was a person with a hard mouth and a soft heart.

After the two chatted for a while in the white scroll, Feng He took out a volume of cultivation techniques and threw it to Song Qingming.

"Seeing that your spiritual sense is already so powerful, the Soul-Devouring Decision should also have been practiced to the third layer! This contains the incantations of the original cultivation technique. I have only comprehended it to the Jin Dan realm until now."

"Now I need to fully restore my cultivation and have no time to comprehend this thing. I might as well give it to you. As for whether you can comprehend a higher realm in the future, that depends on your own ability."

"I also have an elixir here, which might be of some help to your friend. After we go out later, I will pretend to be defeated by you and leave directly. As for the subsequent matters, it depends on how you handle them yourself!"

After Song Qingming took the cultivation technique and elixir handed over by Feng He, he immediately bowed and saluted him again.

"Senior Feng He, if you have time in the future, you must go to Qinghe County to take a look. If there is anything you need help with, the junior will definitely do my best."

Feng He heard this, smiled, nodded at Song Qingming, and without saying anything more, directly put away the scroll outside.

"Your Excellency has such powerful means. I admire you."

Seeing Feng He shout somewhat exaggeratedly, he turned into an escape light and flew out of the cave. Song Qingming, who was standing on the spot, could only shake his head with an awkward face and turn back to Huo Feng's side.

Glancing at Huo Feng, who was still motionless and concentrating on healing, Song Qingming didn't say much. He placed the elixir Feng He had just given him in front of her, then found an empty space on the side and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

Before Feng He took the initiative to reveal his identity to him, Song Qingming had also been scared to death by this old guy. The whole person had already fallen into a state of extreme tension, and in his heart, he had already planned to fight the other party to the death.

Since entering the trial ground, Song Qingming had also encountered quite a few life-and-death crises these past few days. Although he had escaped them all without danger in the end, his whole person was also exhausted in his heart. His tense nerves finally relaxed slowly at this moment.

——

Three days later, in mid-air several hundred miles outside the Heaven-Reaching Tower, after two white lights flashed, the figures of Song Qingming and Huo Feng suddenly appeared here out of thin air.

After glancing at Song Qingming beside her, Huo Feng, whose face still carried a trace of paleness, turned directly into an escape light and flew towards the distance, very quickly disappearing before his eyes.

After the other party had left, Song Qingming turned and glanced at the Heaven-Reaching Tower, which had begun to be gradually shrouded in purple light again not far away. After finding the direction he wanted to go, he took out the "Phantom Boat" and also very quickly disappeared from the spot.

After flying for a distance in the southeast direction, Song Qingming finally arrived at a high mountain.

Before Song Qingming could land, a green light flew towards him from the mountaintop.

"Junior Brother Song, there has been no news of you for half a month. We have also been a bit worried. It is truly great to see you safe and sound."

Song Qingming looked at Zhao Menglian, who had come to his side with a concerned face, and hurriedly cupped his hands to explain: "After parting that day, I had some bad luck and ran into a very powerful Jin Dan cultivator."

"This person wanted to take action against me without a word. My strength was low, and I was no match for the opponent. In sheer desperation, I used the transmission array to hide on the first floor. Later, I kept hiding there until the Heaven-Reaching Tower closed just now, and only then was I transmitted out."

This set of rhetoric was also something Song Qingming had already thought of before coming out. When Long Feng pretended to be the Golden Feather Imperial Demon and startled away Zhao Menglian and the others that day, everyone scattered and fled in different directions.

In the process of fleeing, because he was alone and had some bad luck being targeted by others, this was indeed not a very strange matter in a dangerous secret realm like the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Seeing Song Qingming mention this matter, with a tone that was still somewhat indignant, as if he had missed many treasures because of this, Zhao Menglian hurriedly smiled and comforted him:

"Hehe! Junior Brother Song does not need to be so disappointed. After we few people gathered later, we actually didn't find any spiritual objects either. Being able to escape with our lives under the Golden Feather Imperial Demon that day was already a great fortune."

Hearing this, Song Qingming also sighed slightly and smiled: "Sigh! Senior Sister Zhao is right. Although we didn't obtain any great opportunities entering the tower this time, being able to come out safely is also not easy. It is I who am a bit unsatisfied!"

"Junior Brother being able to think this way is correct. Senior Uncle Li and the others have already gone down. Let's hurry over and gather with them!"

After Zhao Menglian finished speaking, the two quickly set up their escape lights and went directly to the mountaintop.
