Chapter 595: Mount Mount Lianhua Spiritual Water

As a Jin Dan elder of the sect, True Person Guangling naturally knew about Song Qingming, Jin Ziyuan, and Zhao Menglian going to the "Tongtian Tower."

Hearing Song Qingming say that these two spiritual fruits were obtained from the "Tongtian Tower," True Person Guangling felt quite envious.

True Person Guangling had decent talent and was a dual-spirit-root cultivator. Although he had cultivated smoothly to the Jin Dan realm, his path had stalled immediately after forming his core.

The biggest reason for this was that he had always preferred to stay in the sect for bitter cultivation and rarely went out for adventures and training like Song Qingming and the others, so the opportunities he could obtain were naturally much fewer.

True Person Guangling was now the oldest among the many Jin Dan elders in the Xiaoyao Sect, besides Sect Master Yao Ganshu.

With a lifespan exceeding five hundred years, it was clearly impossible for his path to advance further; he could only sit and envy the younger generation of Jin Dan cultivators like Song Qingming.

Having just returned from Mount Guyang, He Mengxin, who had been waiting for a long time in Song Qingyu's cave dwelling, immediately came out to greet him.

"Fellow Daoist Song, how is it? Is this matter feasible?"

Seeing He Mengxin's anxious expression, Song Qingming hurriedly smiled and nodded: "Fortunately, I did not fail the mission. The sect's Affairs Hall has agreed not to pursue the matters of the past anymore."

Hearing this, He Mengxin finally let out a sigh of relief, and the tension on her face slowly relaxed.

Returning this time, she knew that rebuilding the Liu family of Mount Jingyuan would not be an easy task. Song Qingming's willingness to agree to help so readily was still somewhat beyond her expectations.

"Fellow Daoist Song, this time it is thanks to your help that I could fulfill my long-cherished wish. Please accept a bow from me."

Seeing He Mengxin about to bow, Song Qingming hurriedly waved his hand: "Fellow Daoist He, there is no need for such courtesy. Although this matter took some words, it was merely a small effort."

"As for Mount Jingyuan, I have already asked Changze to go over and arrange things. At most, in two or three months, the spiritual vein can be cleared for you."

"Fellow Daoist Song, although there are still many mortals with the surname Liu down the mountain, there are no cultivators among them. I would like to borrow some cultivators and spirit-testing plates from you to see if we can select a few with spirit roots from these mortals."

"Hmm! This is easy to handle. Later, I will tell Yuanfang to have people gather the mortals with the surname Liu over the next few days and test them all. It shouldn't be difficult to find a few with spirit roots."

"That would be good. Fellow Daoist Song arranges things so properly. I thank you again!" After He Mengxin thanked Song Qingming, another jade box appeared in her hand—it was the Foundation Establishment Pill she had taken out yesterday.

Seeing this, Song Qingming did not offer polite refusals this time and accepted the spiritual item generously.

"Fellow Daoist Song, besides handling this matter, I will accompany Senior Sister Xia to travel around the surrounding areas next."

"I will entrust all matters of Mount Jingyuan to Yuxin. She is still young, so I hope you can take care of her a little in the future."

"Fellow Daoist He, rest assured. I will have my own sense of propriety in this matter!"

Hearing that He Mengxin and the others were leaving temporarily, Song Qingming did not feel surprised. For disciples of such large sects, traveling for a period of time to gain experience after forming a Jin Dan was a very normal thing in the cultivation world.

Song Qingming had also thought about traveling abroad long ago, but after forming his Jin Dan, because he encountered a series of events like the monster beast turmoil and participating in the "Tongtian Tower" secret realm, he simply hadn't had the time or opportunity.

Early the next morning, after He Mengxin gave some instructions to Liu Yuxin, she left Mount Funiu with Xia Mo.

There were more than three thousand mortals with the surname Liu living at the foot of Mount Funiu, slightly more than when they had first moved here a hundred years ago.

Under Song Yuanfang's arrangement, the Song family sent out more than a dozen cultivators, and in just three days, they tested all these mortals with the surname Liu, finding three mortals with spirit roots.

Over these years, although the Xiaoyao Sect's Affairs Hall had issued a decree because of the Mount Jingyuan matter that the Liu family mortals were not allowed to ascend to immortality for a hundred years,

the Song family still secretly tested some mortals with the surname Liu every year when testing for spirit roots, and they had also found a few cultivators with spirit roots among them.

These people had all changed their names and integrated into the Song family; naturally, they were unwilling to return to the empty Mount Jingyuan, so Song Qingming did not inform He Mengxin of this.

After Song Qingming arranged these matters, large-scale relocation began on the Mount Jingyuan side.

The Song family had been operating the spiritual vein of Mount Jingyuan for more than thirty years, and many cultivators and mortals were already living on the mountain.

Fortunately, the straight-line distance from Mount Jingyuan to the Song family's Mount Funiu was less than two hundred miles. The Song family cultivators used the family's large cargo transport fleet, and it took more than a month to move all nearly ten thousand Song family mortals from Mount Jingyuan back to Mount Funiu.

Afterward, they sent the thousands of Liu family mortals to Mount Jingyuan and handed them over to Liu Yuxin.

To help the Liu family of Mount Jingyuan settle these mortals sooner, Song Qingming specially sent Song Changze, who was relatively free, to Mount Jingyuan to assist Liu Yuxin, and the situation there was quickly stabilized.

Since returning from the Guiyun Market last time, the relationship between Song Changze and Liu Yuxin had eased slightly, unlike before when they couldn't stand the sight of each other.

To help her share some of the pressure of managing mortals, Song Changze specially transferred two Qi Mount Mount Lianhua cultivators from the Song family's Law Enforcement Team to help her. Soon, Mount Jingyuan slowly began to look like a cultivation family.

Even though the Liu family was a newly rebuilt cultivation family, because Liu Yuxin, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was there to hold the fort, there were no major problems regarding safety.

As long as they developed for a few more decades and the number of Liu family cultivators slowly increased, Mount Jingyuan would soon be able to recreate the prosperous scene from when the Liu family was still there.

Because the spiritual vein level of Mount Funiu had been upgraded to third-tier low-quality, even though the Song family had moved dozens of cultivators back from Mount Jingyuan, the supply of spiritual energy on Mount Funiu was still barely enough.

Moreover, Song Qingming, the family's Jin Dan ancestor, did not like to crowd with the younger generation of the family to compete for spiritual energy for cultivation. After staying at home for less than a month, he took Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan to Mount Tuoyun.

Just after arriving at Mount Tuoyun, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan soon began their seclusion cultivation one after another.

Since obtaining the "Hidden Origin Art," their hope of forming a Jin Dan had suddenly increased significantly. As long as they spent a few more years cultivating this secret technique to perfection, they could enter seclusion to impact the Jin Dan realm.

Therefore, the two were now even more urgent about cultivation, both wanting to break through their cultivation base as soon as possible, step into the Jin Dan Great Dao, and catch up with Song Qingming's footsteps.

After Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan entered seclusion, Song Qingming adjusted his state, exchanged a few words with Lin Yutang and the others, and then closed the cave dwelling door, preparing to refine the "Emerald Spirit True Water" he had obtained from the Tongtian Tower not long ago.

After sitting cross-legged, Song Qingming carefully took out the "Emerald Spirit True Water" he had treasured, placed it in front of him after opening the lid, and immediately began to operate the "Five Elements Profound Gang Art" he cultivated.

As a dazzling spiritual light lit up on his body, Song Qingming quickly cast a spell, carefully drawing a drop of spiritual water from the small jade bottle containing the "Emerald Spirit True Water" until it slowly reached his lips.

Afterward, Song Qingming opened his mouth slightly and swallowed the drop of spiritual water into his abdomen. After the spiritual water was drawn by the magic power in his body into his dantian, Song Qingming began to operate the magic power in his dantian to refine the spiritual water.

It took about ten days for Song Qingming to completely refine this small drop of "Emerald Spirit True Water."

Just by refining this small drop of spiritual water, Song Qingming felt that the meridians and acupoints throughout his body were significantly more agile and comfortable than before, and even the speed of absorbing and transforming heaven and earth spiritual energy was faster than in the past.

Seeing that this "Emerald Spirit True Water" was indeed as Xuantian had said, refining it could enhance and strengthen the meridians and acupoints in a cultivator's body, Song Qingming's face was immediately filled with a few smiles.

Next, after resting for a short while, Song Qingming operated his magic power again, drew a second drop of spiritual water from the small jade bottle into his body, and began to refine this item in his dantian just as before.

This time, it took Song Qingming only eight days to completely refine this drop of spiritual water, and he felt that compared to the first drop of "Emerald Spirit True Water" he had refined, the effect of enhancing his meridians and acupoints was two parts less than before.

"It seems that the effect of this item on a cultivator's physical body is indeed limited. Only the first time is the best; the more you refine, the worse the effect will become."

After muttering to himself, Song Qingming did not hesitate and cast a spell to draw the third drop of "Emerald Spirit True Water" from the jade bottle, beginning the same cycle of operations as before.

This continued uninterrupted until half a year later, when Song Qingming finally refined all the spiritual water in the jade bottle.

After completely refining a whole bottle of "Emerald Spirit True Water," Song Qingming operated the "Five Elements Profound Gang Art" he had cultivated for many years again and soon felt a large amount of spiritual energy around his body begin to surge into his body rapidly.

"This speed of absorbing spiritual energy is at least 30% faster than before, no worse than those triple-spirit-root cultivators!"

Feeling the results of refining the "Emerald Spirit True Water" for more than half a year, Song Qingming's face revealed a few satisfied smiles again.

Although he still couldn't compare with those heaven-spirit-root or dual-spirit-root cultivators, Song Qingming was no longer troubled by the problem of his own poor aptitude.

After a cultivator reaches the Jin Dan realm, although spiritual root aptitude is not as important as before, it is still the biggest foundation for a cultivator to improve their cultivation base. In this regard, Song Qingming had always been lagging behind others, but now he had finally slowly caught up. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 596 =====
