Chapter 603: Exchanging for Core Formation Spiritual Object (Added Chapter)

Even though Song Qingming took out a third-tier spiritual medicine from his body, wanting to pay a premium to exchange for this spiritual object on the spot, Sect Master Yao Ganshu ultimately chose to give this spiritual object to Lu Boyang's disciple.

Regarding this, although Song Qingming felt somewhat unhappy in his heart, he was also very helpless.

After all, he was only a guest elder of the sect. Regardless of who Song Qingming wanted to support to reach Core Formation after obtaining this spiritual object, to the Xiaoyao Sect, he was half an outsider.

It was reasonable for Yao Ganshu to favor Lu Boyang because of this.

However, after the last incident, in order to appease Song Qingming, Yao Ganshu also promised him on the spot that when the sect's Merit Pavilion obtained the next Core Formation spiritual object, it would be exchanged to him first.

Not long ago, Song Qingming, who was on Mount Tuoyun, received news that the State of Shangyang in the south had held another trade fair.

The Xiaoyao Sect was also invited this time and used a large flying boat to transport many spiritual objects to participate. Song Qingming estimated the time, and it should be back by now.

At such a large-scale trade fair held by a Nascent Soul sect, it was possible that the sect might have exchanged for a Core Formation spiritual object this time. It was precisely because of this that Song Qingming hurried to Mount Guyang.

This time, Song Qingming did not go directly south to Mount Guyang, but first went to Guiyun Market, and then used the teleportation array on Mount Guiyun to teleport directly to Mount Guyang.

Although using the teleportation array costs some spirit stones, the speed is much faster than traveling by himself. Song Qingming is now a Jin Dan cultivator, and his family wealth is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. These spirit stones are already a matter of no importance to him.

After passing through the teleportation array and arriving at Mount Guyang, Song Qingming went straight to the sect's Merit Pavilion. After inquiring on the first floor, it turned out that the sect's large flying boat to the State of Shangyang had indeed returned yesterday.

However, the many spiritual objects brought back from the State of Shangyang were still piled up in the Merit Pavilion's treasury and had not yet been counted and put into storage. Whether there were any Core Formation spiritual objects among them, they were not very clear.

Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately hurried to the spiritual mountain where Sect Master Yao Ganshu was located, wanting to inquire about the situation through him directly, but was told that Yao Ganshu had gone to the mountain top to see the Supreme Elder Li Mufeng and had not yet returned.

After waiting for more than an hour at Yao Ganshu's cave dwelling, Song Qingming finally saw Yao Ganshu hurry back.

"Junior Brother Song, I am truly sorry. I didn't know you were coming today and kept you waiting for a long time!" Before entering the door, Yao Ganshu had already learned from his disciples that Song Qingming had been waiting for him here for a long time, and hurriedly bowed and explained with a smile.

Seeing this, Song Qingming hurriedly explained: "Sect Master Senior Brother is too polite. It was I who came uninvited and was somewhat abrupt. Please don't blame me, Senior Brother."

"No matter, Junior Brother Song, did you come here for the Core Formation spiritual object?" After exchanging pleasantries with Song Qingming for two sentences, Yao Ganshu went straight to the point and asked Song Qingming.

The sect's flying boat to the State of Shangyang had just returned yesterday, and Song Qingming came to him today.

Yao Ganshu, who saw Song Qingming waiting at his door as soon as he returned, naturally guessed his intention very quickly.

Seeing Yao Ganshu point out his purpose, Song Qingming did not be too polite and hurriedly nodded with a smile, acknowledging his intention for this trip.

"I heard a few days ago that the sect went to participate in the trade fair in the State of Shangyang, so I came here to inquire. I don't know if the Merit Pavilion has obtained any Core Formation spiritual objects this time?"

Yao Ganshu smiled and replied: "That's right! You came at the right time. The sect did obtain a Five Elements spiritual object this time, and it hasn't even been counted and put into storage yet.

Since Junior Brother came for this Core Formation spiritual object, let's go to the Merit Pavilion together to understand this matter. It is better for you to take this object away sooner; if others find out, I am afraid it won't be so easy again.

Actually, even if you didn't come today, I would have sent someone to send you a message in two days."

Hearing that there was indeed an extra Five Elements Core Formation spiritual object in the Merit Pavilion, Song Qingming was overjoyed and bowed to Yao Ganshu with a happy face: "Then I would like to thank Sect Master Senior Brother!"

The two left Yao Ganshu's cave dwelling and soon arrived at the sect's Merit Pavilion. Under Yao Ganshu's witness, Song Qingming used the 14,000 merits in his hand to exchange for a Five Elements Core Formation spiritual object, the "Green Spirit Wood Heart."

Although the "Green Spirit Wood Heart" is a wood-attribute Five Elements Core Formation spiritual object and is not as compatible with Song Qingyu's cultivation method as the "True Water of Emerald Jade," overall, the impact will not be too great, and the effect will only be slightly worse.

Five Elements Core Formation spiritual objects are, after all, very rare, and it is indeed very difficult to find one whose attributes happen to match the cultivation method.

Most people impacting the Jin Dan realm don't even have the opportunity to use this object and can only settle for the next best thing and use the "Du Yuchen Pill" directly.

After obtaining the "Green Spirit Wood Heart," Song Qingming immediately carefully put it into his storage magic treasure and bowed to Yao Ganshu again to express his gratitude: "If it weren't for the help of Sect Master Senior Brother, it would have been extremely difficult for me to obtain this object so smoothly. I will definitely keep this kindness of yours in mind, Senior Brother."

Yao Ganshu smiled and waved his hand upon hearing this, and asked again: "Sigh! This Core Formation spiritual object was something I promised Junior Brother before, so there is no need to be so polite.

I heard that Junior Brother's Daoist companion and family sister have both reached the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment. I don't know, Junior Brother Song, which one of them are you preparing this spiritual object for?"

As the Sect Master of the Xiaoyao Sect, Yao Ganshu naturally knows something about the Jin Dan families affiliated with the sect like the Song family.

Although Yao Ganshu has not met all the cultivators above Foundation Establishment in the Song family, he basically knows their names and their general cultivation situation.

Including Song Qingming's last trip to the State of Wu with Chu Fengping to exchange for a Five Elements Core Formation spiritual object, and Song Qingyu's subsequent failure to reach Core Formation using this object.

The major events that have happened in the Song family over the years are actually unable to escape the eyes of this Xiaoyao Sect Sect Master.

Song Qingming was naturally not particularly surprised that Yao Ganshu knew about his family's situation. As a relatively large Jin Dan family under the sect, how could the Xiaoyao Sect not pay attention to their family's situation?

"This, to be honest, Sect Master Senior Brother, actually I haven't considered who to give this spiritual object to yet.

Whether it is my wife or my sister, they are both close people who have followed me for many years. No matter who I give it to, I will feel guilty toward the other.

It is a pity that I have searched for a long time and only obtained this one Core Formation spiritual object. If only there were two."

Seeing Song Qingming sigh slightly after speaking, Yao Ganshu comforted him repeatedly: "Sigh! There are always few ways to have the best of both worlds in the world. This time we also brought back many high-tier materials from the State of Shangyang. I estimate that Junior Brother Chu will be able to open the furnace to refine elixirs in a few days.

Don't worry, I will definitely help you say a word then and let the Merit Pavilion leave you another Du Yuchen Pill. Although it is not as easy to use as a Five Elements spiritual object, it will still be helpful for Core Formation after all."

"Then I would like to thank Sect Master Senior Brother first!"

After the two chatted for a few more sentences in the Merit Pavilion, Song Qingming thought of one thing before he was about to leave and asked Yao Ganshu:

"Sect Master Senior Brother, last time I came to Mount Guyang, I went to find Senior Sister Bai, wanting to ask her for advice on setting up formations, but unfortunately, I heard that she had just gone into closed-door cultivation. I don't know if Senior Sister Bai has come out of closed-door cultivation now?"

Hearing Song Qingming mention Bai Yuxian, Yao Ganshu's expression shifted slightly, and he shook his head: "Senior Sister Bai's closed-door cultivation time this time, I am afraid it will be a bit long. Junior Brother Song, if you want to find her, I estimate you will have to wait for more than ten years. If there is no urgent matter, let it be!"

"Closed-door cultivation for more than ten years? Could it be that Senior Sister Bai is impacting." Song Qingming stopped halfway through his sentence and looked at Yao Ganshu with a puzzled expression.

Seeing this, Yao Ganshu stroked his beard, nodded, and exhorted: "Hehe! Junior Brother Song just needs to know about this matter, and must not speak of it outside, lest some changes occur."

It is common for Jin Dan cultivators to go into closed-door cultivation for a few years, but to say closed-door cultivation for more than ten years is somewhat abnormal.

Hearing Yao Ganshu say that it might take more than ten years for Bai Yuxian to come out of closed-door cultivation, Song Qingming immediately guessed that the other party might be impacting the Nascent Soul realm.

Bai Yuxian has been at the ninth layer of Jin Dan for nearly forty years, and her own spiritual power has basically been polished to perfection. The reason why she hasn't gone into closed-door cultivation to break through to Nascent Soul is just that she is still missing a spiritual object to assist in breaking through to Nascent Soul.

During the last trip to the "Heaven-Reaching Tower," Li Mufeng obtained two fourth-tier spiritual objects from inside. A few years ago, Li Mufeng secretly left the State of Wei and went to the East Sea cultivation world, where spiritual resources are much more abundant, and successfully exchanged for a spiritual object to assist in breaking through to Nascent Soul for Bai Yuxian.

Although Bai Yuxian's heaven-spirit root aptitude is already the most top-tier cultivator in the cultivation world, breaking through to Nascent Soul is also not an easy thing for her.

Not to mention the far away, the Xiaoyao Sect Sect Master Yao Ganshu standing beside Song Qingming is also a person with very outstanding cultivation talent.

Reaching Jin Dan in less than a hundred years and reaching the ninth layer of Jin Dan at two hundred and thirty years old, Yao Ganshu's cultivation speed is actually not much worse than Bai Yuxian's heaven-spirit root.

But when facing the barrier of breaking through to Nascent Soul, even Yao Ganshu, this rare cultivation genius in the State of Wei's cultivation world for thousands of years, has tried to break through to the Nascent Soul realm several times over the past few hundred years, but has always been firmly blocked outside this threshold.

Unable to touch this high-level realm that he has yearned for all his life.

In the Floating Yunshan Range cultivation world, Soul Transformation cultivators have long been extinct for ten thousand years. Those who can break through to the Nascent Soul realm are already the most top-tier cultivators in this region.

A Nascent Soul cultivator can not only possess powerful abilities that reach the heavens and the earth but also enjoy a lifespan of over a thousand years. This is also the realm that many Jin Dan cultivators like Yao Ganshu and Song Qingming dream of reaching.

Regardless of whether it is Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, or Jin Dan cultivators like Song Qingming, the highest cultivation goal they can see is only this high.

After getting the answer from Yao Ganshu that Bai Yuxian was in closed-door cultivation to break through to Nascent Soul, Song Qingming hurriedly nodded and replied: "Please rest assured, Sect Master Senior Brother. I know the importance of this matter and will never mention Senior Sister Bai outside."

"Hehe! Junior Brother Song is relatively steady in his conduct, so I definitely believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have revealed this matter directly to you. However, this matter concerns the future of the sect after all, so we all still need to be careful and cautious.

I hope Senior Sister Bai can succeed this time and help Senior Uncle Li to strengthen our Xiaoyao Sect in the future. When that day comes, this old bone of mine will be able to rest in peace." After Yao Ganshu finished speaking, he sighed slightly in front of Song Qingming.

From the other party's self-talk, Song Qingming could also feel the helplessness in Yao Ganshu's tone.

Even Yao Ganshu, who had been invincible in the Jin Dan realm for more than two hundred years and had yet to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, had gradually become the appearance of a white-haired old man.

As a Jin Dan cultivator, Yao Ganshu's lifespan is already over five hundred years old. Coupled with the fact that he had suffered several serious injuries in his early years, his lifespan is estimated to be at most only thirty or forty years left.

If Bai Yuxian fails to break through to Nascent Soul this time, Yao Ganshu will definitely not have the opportunity to wait for Bai Yuxian's next impact on the Nascent Soul realm.

After saying goodbye to Yao Ganshu, Song Qingming passed through Guiyun Market via the mountain gate teleportation array and soon hurried back to Mount Tuoyun.

This trip to Mount Guyang was not in vain. Song Qingming obtained a Five Elements Core Formation spiritual object, the "Green Spirit Wood Heart," which could at least guarantee that Song Qingyu could continue to impact the Jin Dan realm first.

As for Huang Siyuan, it was her first time impacting the Jin Dan realm, and the chance of success was not high. If a Five Elements Core Formation spiritual object could not be found in a short time, she could only be helped to prepare a "Du Yuchen Pill" first.

Compared to those rarer Five Elements Core Formation spiritual objects, the "Du Yuchen Pill" is not difficult to obtain. Even for the Xiaoyao Sect, after a third-tier spiritual medicine in the spiritual medicine garden matures every ten years, the Xiaoyao Sect

Huang Siyuan is more than ten years younger than Song Qingyu and is now only over one hundred and forty years old.

With Song Qingming's careful support, and the fact that she has also practiced the "Hidden Origin Art," even if she cannot succeed this time, as long as she can lay a slightly better foundation, it should not be too difficult to reach Core Formation in the future.

After returning to Mount Tuoyun, Song Qingming soon handed the "Green Spirit Wood Heart" he obtained, as well as the "Du Yuchen Pill," thousand-year spiritual milk, and other spiritual objects to assist in Core Formation that he had already prepared, directly to Song Qingyu.

After years of hard cultivation, Song Qingyu's "Hidden Origin Art" was now reaching its peak. In at most half a year, she would be able to practice this secret technique to perfection and could begin closed-door cultivation to impact the Core Formation realm again.

Just as Song Qingming was on Mount Tuoyun, wholeheartedly preparing to protect Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan in their closed-door cultivation for Core Formation at any time, two figures that surprised him somewhat suddenly appeared and interrupted this plan.

Song Qingming, standing at the foot of Mount Tuoyun, looked at the two somewhat familiar figures before him, hurriedly stepped forward, smiled, and bowed to the two.

"Fellow Daoist He, Fellow Daoist Xia, it has been many years, I didn't expect you to have returned."
