Chapter 593
As soon as He Mengxin finished speaking, in front of everyone, a flash of spiritual light moved slightly before her, and a small jade box immediately appeared in her hand, which she then cast a spell to send into Song Qingming's hand.
Song Qingming, having received the jade box, did not open it directly but carried the item to the stone table where the others were sitting.
"Fellow Daoist He, you and Qingyu are close friends, and you and I have known each other for many years. Please speak directly if you have anything to say. As long as I, Song, can be of help, I will certainly do my best. There is no need to be so polite."
After Song Qingming finished speaking, he placed the jade box He Mengxin gave him directly onto the stone table.
In fact, the moment he saw He Mengxin at the foot of the mountain, Song Qingming already had a premonition that her return this time might not be simple. It was just that Song Qingming could not quite guess He Mengxin's thoughts, which is why he did not take the initiative to ask.
Seeing that Song Qingming did not dare to accept her gift casually, He Mengxin knew that he must have some concerns, so she nodded slightly and said directly:
"Fellow Daoist Song, you should have known my identity and background long ago, so I won't beat around the bush with you. The purpose of my return this time is to rebuild the Liu family of Mount Jingyuan.
You are now a Jin Dan cultivator and have become a guest elder of the Xiaoyao Sect. This shouldn't be a difficult task for you now, right!"
Song Qingming had known He Mengxin's identity back when she first returned to Qinghe County during her Foundation Establishment stage.
Before Song Qingyu returned from the East Sea cultivation world, He Mengxin had also taken the initiative to confess her background to her.
After the Liu family was wiped out back then, all the cultivators were sent directly to the mines by the Xiaoyao Sect to be imprisoned until death; only He Mengxin had escaped in advance.
When forced to leave home, He Mengxin was still weak, and with her low cultivation, she naturally could not change the fate of her family's destruction. She could only change her name and leave the State of Wei alone, eventually traveling to the East Sea cultivation world.
Many years later, through her own efforts, He Mengxin joined a Nascent Soul sect and was fortunate enough to succeed in Foundation Establishment.
During a trip, she met Song Qingyu and returned to the State of Wei together. Upon returning to her old home, she was touched by the scenery, and Song Qingming soon discovered her identity.
When she last returned to Qinghe County, although He Mengxin had succeeded in Foundation Establishment and become a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with not-so-low cultivation, her cultivation was still not enough in front of the Xiaoyao Sect, the hegemon of the State of Wei.
The Liu family was wiped out back then because they offended the Xiaoyao Sect; this matter was well-known in the Qinghe County cultivation world. Wanting to rebuild the Liu family here would certainly attract the attention and obstruction of the Xiaoyao Sect.
At that time, although He Mengxin had long had this intention, she also understood that she could not do it yet.
However, now that He Mengxin has become a Jin Dan cultivator, the situation is naturally different. Rebuilding a small Liu family is no longer a difficult task for her.
Regarding this request made by He Mengxin, Song Qingming pondered for a moment, then nodded directly with a calm expression: "I have heard Qingyu mention the agreement between you and her back then.
A hundred years have passed since the Liu family incident, and there are not many people left in Qinghe County who remember it. If you have the idea of rebuilding the Liu family, I can provide you with some convenience here.
In a few days, I will have Qingyu accompany you to look around. Once you have chosen a spirit mountain, I will arrange for people to help you gather and send the mortals of the Liu family over. Do you think this is feasible?"
He Mengxin shook her head slightly and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist, but I have already made a decision regarding the spirit vein, so there is no need to look for another one.
Fellow Daoist Song, there is a Foundation Establishment Pill in this jade box. I would like to use this item to exchange for the spirit vein of Mount Jingyuan. I wonder if you can grant this request."
"Mount Jingyuan, this..." Seeing He Mengxin's insistence on rebuilding the Liu family on Mount Jingyuan, Song Qingming felt a bit troubled.
After the Song family was promoted to a Jin Dan family, they already had control over Qinghe and Pingyang counties. Finding a place for He Mengxin to rebuild the Liu family was not a difficult task for Song Qingming now.
But since the other party insisted on Mount Jingyuan, the situation was a bit different.
Although He Mengxin using a Foundation Establishment Pill to exchange for the second-tier low-quality spirit vein of Mount Jingyuan was not a bad deal for the Song family,
However, the order to wipe out the Liu family of Mount Jingyuan back then was issued directly by the General Affairs Hall of the Xiaoyao Sect. If the Liu family of Mount Jingyuan were to rise from the ashes after only a hundred years, and this matter were to spread, it would be a slap in the face to the sect's General Affairs Hall.
"Fellow Daoist He, it's not that I am unwilling to part with the spirit vein of Mount Jingyuan, but doing so might offend the sect's General Affairs Hall and bring unnecessary trouble to both of us in the future. Why don't you consider it again!"
Facing Song Qingming's persuasion, He Mengxin still shook her head with a firm expression.
"Although there were villains behind the destruction of the Liu family back then, I also understand that the rules of the cultivation world are like this. As the weak, it is difficult for us to demand fairness from others."
"Fellow Daoist Song, please rest assured. Although I have broken through to the Jin Dan realm, I am not foolish enough to think I have the strength to oppose a Nascent Soul sect like the Xiaoyao Sect.
The reason I want to rebuild the Liu family is that I made a promise to my family elders back then, and it is truly a wish I find hard to let go of in this lifetime. I hope Fellow Daoist Song can grant this. If this matter can be accomplished, it will be considered that I owe you a favor."
After He Mengxin finished speaking, she cupped her hands and bowed to Song Qingming, her face filled with anticipation.
He Mengxin naturally understood the worries in Song Qingming's heart just now. The reason she insisted on rebuilding the Liu family on Mount Jingyuan was mainly because she had made this vow in front of the Liu family patriarch when she left home back then.
As a Jin Dan cultivator, if she were to break her vow now that she had the ability, she might develop a heart demon in her future cultivation. It was for this reason that He Mengxin insisted on asking Song Qingming for Mount Jingyuan.
Seeing that the other party had said as much, Song Qingming hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly: "Since Fellow Daoist He insists, then I have no choice but to agree!
However, to prevent any trouble from arising without cause in the future, I must first go to the sect's General Affairs Hall. Only after I return can I officially notify you. I hope Fellow Daoist He can wait patiently.
As for this Foundation Establishment Pill, you should keep it for now and wait until I give you a definite answer."
Seeing this, He Mengxin hurriedly nodded with a smile: "Then I will thank you in advance, Fellow Daoist!"
After settling this matter, He Mengxin did not say anything more, and the few of them sat in Song Qingyu's cave dwelling and chatted.
When Song Qingyu returned from the East Sea cultivation world before, she had mentioned some things about He Mengxin to Song Qingming, knowing that she was a disciple of a Nascent Soul sect in the East Sea cultivation world called "Hundred Flower Palace."
Although "Hundred Flower Palace" is a sect dominated by female cultivators, there are already two Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, and its strength is even stronger than the Xiaoyao Sect of the State of Wei. It is also a very famous Nascent Soul sect in the East Sea cultivation world.
Not only He Mengxin, but the woman in white, Xia Mo, who had been wearing a veil and traveled with her, also came from this sect.
Unlike He Mengxin, who had just formed her core, this Fairy Xia Mo, who didn't speak much, looked young but had already reached the late stage of Jin Dan long ago.
This cultivation talent was far beyond what He Mengxin and Song Qingming, who were present, could compare to.
Especially the powerful flower basket magic treasure she used yesterday, which still made Song Qingming feel a bit wary in his heart even now.
Among the dozen or so Jin Dan cultivators in the Xiaoyao Sect, the only one who could be sure of defeating this woman would likely be Bai Yuxian, who was preparing to impact the Nascent Soul realm.
——
At night, at the foot of Mount Funiu, two sword lights suddenly flew over and landed directly outside the Song family's mountain gate.
"Who goes there, arriving so late at night!"
Seeing the sword lights that had suddenly appeared, two Song family law enforcement cultivators stood within the mountain-protecting formation and asked sternly toward the outside.
"Ninth Brother, it's me, Changze. I was delayed by something, hurry and let me in!"
Hearing the reply from outside, after a flash of white light passed over the formation, a passage that could accommodate two people slowly emerged.
Song Changze and Liu Yuxin, who were outside the formation, immediately flashed into the mountain-protecting formation upon seeing this.
To prevent enemy sneak attacks at night, the Song family's mountain-protecting formation is generally controlled manually at night. Except for the family ancestors at the summit, others must obtain the consent of the law enforcement team to enter or leave the formation at night.
After the two passed through the protective formation, Song Changze immediately warned Liu Yuxin: "You must remember, you must never speak of today's events. Otherwise, if the ancestor finds out, neither of us will have a good ending."
"Haha! Don't worry, I'm not as stupid as you, telling everyone everything. Besides, even if your ancestor finds out, it has nothing to do with me. You are not quite right to say that."
As soon as Liu Yuxin finished speaking, she turned around and discovered that a figure had appeared on the steps not far in front of them, watching them both the whole time, and her face could not help but change.
"Master, why did you come so quickly."
"Hmm! If I didn't come, I'm afraid you would have caused who knows how much trouble. I really couldn't set my heart at ease, which is why I set off early."
Seeing Liu Yuxin calling He Mengxin 'Master' while standing not far away, Song Changze hurriedly stepped forward to salute her.
"Junior Song Changze, greets the Senior!"
He Mengxin nodded with a smile and replied: "I heard Fellow Daoist Song mention you earlier. You truly have excellent aptitude. How is it? Has my disciple bullied you as soon as she went out?"
"Haha! It's alright. Fellow Daoist Liu knows a lot, and following her for a day has also increased my knowledge quite a bit!" (End of chapter)
