Chapter 610: Distributing Spiritual Items, Sword Intent Inheritance

Since encountering the interception by the Jiuyuan Sect cultivators, Song Qingming and the others had been on pins and needles the entire way back to the Wei State, constantly worried about being caught up by the Jiuyuan Sect cultivators.

Fortunately, the flying carriage used by Xia Mo was indeed fast enough. With the group taking turns to activate it at full power, it was no slower than the flying boat ridden by Yue Wuji and the others, and they returned to the Wei State territory before the Jiuyuan Sect cultivators.

In order not to attract attention, after entering the Wei State territory, the group did not return directly to Mount Tuoyun.

Instead, they changed to the "Phantom Boat" on Song Qingming, went south to Iron Immortal Fort first, circled the eastern part of the Wei State, and finally returned to Qinghe County via Gao Yun County, taking almost an extra day of travel to return to Mount Funiu.

Along the way, everyone was worried about the danger they were about to encounter, and they didn't have much heart to distribute the spiritual items obtained from that Nascent Soul cave abode.

It wasn't until they returned to Mount Funiu now and temporarily got rid of the crisis that Xia Mo mentioned this matter in person.

Song Qingming was naturally excited about the spiritual items he was about to distribute. After hearing Xia Mo's proposal, he immediately agreed and invited the two to his cave abode.

After Song Qingyu went down to give instructions and returned, Song Qingming and the others had already taken out all the spiritual items obtained from this trip to the Yue State.

Whether it was Xia Mo, He Mengxin, or Song Qingming and the other, everyone didn't hide anything in person. From the precious fourth-tier spiritual medicine to those low-tier spiritual items with low value, as long as they were obtained together this time, they basically took them all out.

Including killing the Jin Dan Elder of the Jiuyuan Sect and obtaining the storage bag and several magic treasures, Xia Mo, who had the greatest merit, didn't want to embezzle the things inside.

After the group counted them, they soon classified and organized all the spiritual items and incidentally estimated the prices of those more valuable spiritual items.

Among the spiritual items obtained by the group in this exploration of the cave abode, the most precious was the fourth-tier spiritual medicine "Crystal Lotus," which was directly converted into one hundred thousand spirit stones by everyone.

Next was the inner core of the gray rat demon king that the group killed together in the cave abode. Although this demon king had just broken through to the mid-stage of Jin Dan not long ago, the grade of the inner core on its body had already reached the third-tier mid-quality.

Directly converted into spirit stones, this demon king inner core was about thirty thousand spirit stones. Although the value of this thing was far from the "Crystal Lotus," it was not low.

The third-tier mid-quality tool-refining furnace found in the stone cave below the cave abode, as well as the golden cushion that could assist in cultivation, was also a third-tier mid-quality spiritual item. In addition, there was a third-tier mid-quality magic tool obtained from the old man surnamed Feng of the Jiuyuan Sect.

The individual values of these three spiritual items were not much different, basically around twenty thousand spirit stones. Song Qingming and the others put them in one place.

Among the remaining third-tier low-quality spiritual items, there were three magic treasures of similar quality plus a bottle of third-tier spiritual water, which were converted into ten thousand spirit stones by the group respectively.

The sharp teeth and fur on the body of the gray rat demon king, compared to a magic treasure, the value of these two demon beast materials was slightly worse, worth about eight thousand spirit stones.

The storage magic tool on the Jiuyuan Sect cultivator was of average quality and was only counted as seven thousand spirit stones.

From this storage magic tool, the group also found a third-tier low-quality auxiliary spiritual talisman worth three thousand spirit stones, and two bottles of elixirs needed for Jin Dan cultivator cultivation, which were cheaper and only counted as two thousand spirit stones.

The remaining spiritual items, except for those cultivation techniques and notes that could be recorded and copied, were all second-tier or lower spiritual items with lower grades.

Although there were many of these low-tier spiritual items, the value of any single one taken out was not high. The group piled them in one place first, intending to distribute those better things first.

Because it was agreed in advance that Song Qingyu's share was calculated together with Song Qingming's, she didn't need to participate directly in selecting spiritual items. After Song Qingming finished selecting spiritual items, he would distribute a portion to her.

After starting the step of selecting spiritual items, the "Crystal Lotus" spiritual item, as expected, fell directly into the hands of Xia Mo, who had priority in choosing spiritual items.

Although Song Qingming and the others were also envious of this item, they all knew that it was impossible for them to get it, so they could only cast their eyes on other spiritual items not far away while feeling envious.

Soon, He Mengxin, as the second to select spiritual items, chose the demon king inner core with the second highest value. Because Song Qingming was the last, he could only choose from the remaining few third-tier spiritual items, the tool-refining furnace he liked more.

This third-tier mid-quality tool-refining furnace could also be considered a relatively rare good thing. After Song Qingming obtained this item, he could not only exchange it for other spiritual items of the same grade in the future, but also keep it in the family to serve as a foundation for cultivating high-tier tool refiners.

In comparison, Song Qingming's interest in the other two spiritual items was worse.

Especially the third-tier mid-quality magic treasure obtained from the Elder surnamed Feng of the Jiuyuan Sect, even if Song Qingming obtained this item, it was not easy for him to handle. It was better to let Xia Mo and the others take it to the East Sea cultivation world in the future, which would be more convenient.

Because the group had already agreed on the proportion of spiritual items to be divided, after each selected spiritual items, they would proceed.

No matter who finally selected the spiritual items, if they didn't reach the agreed distribution proportion, the person who obtained more spiritual items would have to take out corresponding spirit stones to compensate the other party.

Because of this, even if the spiritual items selected by Song Qingming in the first round were much worse than the other two, he didn't need to worry about being too disadvantaged.

After Song Qingming selected spiritual items, because it was agreed in advance that Song Qingyu would not participate in distributing spiritual items on this trip, Song Qingming and the three immediately entered the second round of selecting spiritual items.

When it was Xia Mo's turn, she directly chose the magic treasure of the Jiuyuan Sect cultivator. He Mengxin, as expected, directly got the cushion magic treasure she wanted most.

This item had some use for daily cultivation. For Jin Dan cultivators, it was also a rare auxiliary magic treasure. From the moment He Mengxin obtained it in the cave abode, she had been thinking about this item all the time.

When it was Song Qingming's turn again, only those third-tier low-quality spiritual items were left. Song Qingming didn't hesitate and chose the bottle of third-tier spiritual water that was somewhat helpful to his cultivation.

Now Song Qingming already had several magic treasures in his hands, and he didn't lack third-tier low-quality ordinary magic treasures. The attraction of this spiritual water to him was naturally higher than the remaining few magic treasures.

After Xia Mo and the other each selected a magic treasure in the third round, the last third-tier low-quality flying sword magic treasure, which was one of the two magic treasures they found from that cave abode, was already the one with the highest value among all the remaining spiritual items.

Song Qingming thought for a moment, didn't choose those spiritual items with lower value, and directly took down this flying sword magic treasure.

Although Song Qingming didn't lack magic treasures, such a level of spiritual item, even if he didn't use it himself, could be directly taken to exchange for other spiritual items.

The subsequent Xia Mo and He Mengxin respectively took down the two demon beast materials with the highest value on the gray rat demon king.

In the fourth round, there were not many third-tier materials left on the field. Song Qingming didn't choose the storage magic tool on the Jiuyuan Sect cultivator with the highest value, but only took a third-tier low-quality auxiliary spiritual item and a bottle of elixirs needed for cultivation.

The remaining spiritual items were obtained by Xia Mo and He Mengxin respectively. After a round of selection by the group, all spiritual items above the third tier were soon distributed.

In this distribution of spiritual items, the things selected by Song Qingming were a third-tier mid-quality tool-refining furnace, a third-tier low-quality flying sword magic treasure, a bottle of third-tier spiritual water, plus a third-tier auxiliary spiritual talisman and a bottle of elixirs.

These five third-tier spiritual items added up to about forty-five thousand spirit stones. According to the previously agreed distribution, Song Qingming should share 30% of the total value of spiritual items, about seventy thousand spirit stones. Now he was still short of more than twenty thousand spirit stones.

Therefore, Xia Mo and He Mengxin had to compensate Song Qingming with some spirit stones next. Soon, He Mengxin took out five thousand spirit stones on the spot and handed them directly to Song Qingming.

Xia Mo, who still needed to compensate Song Qingming with twenty thousand spirit stones, didn't take out spirit stones to compensate him as Song Qingming expected, but took out a gray square wooden box.

"Daoist Song, this time selecting spiritual items, we can be considered to have taken advantage of you a little. I happen to have a spiritual item on me that should be useful to you. Let's just compensate you with twenty thousand spirit stones directly!"

After Xia Mo finished speaking, her jade hand lifted slightly, and the wooden box in her hand flew directly into Song Qingming's hand.

Song Qingming picked it up and opened it, only to find that it contained a white pearl the size of a chicken egg. His face immediately showed joy, and he arched his hand to Xia Mo and thanked her: "Thank you, Daoist Xia. This item is indeed what I wanted. You are really thoughtful!"

"Daoist Song, no need to be so polite. Although this Cangxuan Pearl is very precious here, it is not a very rare spiritual item in our East Sea cultivation world."

"I see that your flying boat still has room for improvement. This thing has been gathering dust on me. Now that it is given to you, it can just be used to its full potential. I hope you can get what you want."

"Then I will borrow your auspicious words!"

After Song Qingming nodded slightly, he looked at the jade box in his hand again before happily putting it away.

The white pearl Xia Mo just took out was called "Cangxuan Pearl," a very rare third-tier mid-quality water-attribute spiritual item.

The reason why Song Qingming was so happy after obtaining this item was precisely because this thing could be used to improve the quality grade of the "Phantom Boat" on him.

Ever since he obtained this "Phantom Boat," Song Qingming had long wanted to find a third-tier mid-quality water-attribute spiritual item to improve its grade.

Unfortunately, because there were not many high-level water veins around the Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world, the third-tier mid-quality water-attribute spiritual items needed to promote the flying boat were very rare here. Song Qingming had also inquired about it many times over the past few decades, but had never been able to gain anything.

Xia Mo also noticed the flying magic tool on him after changing to Song Qingming's "Phantom Boat" on the way back to the Wei State not long ago, and noticed that it still had room for improvement.

Therefore, when thinking about how to compensate Song Qingming with spirit stones, Xia Mo decisively took out the "Cangxuan Pearl" on her body.

A third-tier mid-quality water-attribute spiritual item, although its value was not quite twenty thousand spirit stones, this item was not something that could be compensated by a little spirit stone for Song Qingming. Even if it was a premium of a few thousand spirit stones, it was enough to make him very satisfied.

After distributing these high-tier spiritual items, the remaining low-tier spiritual items did not have such high value for the Jin Dan cultivators present, and the group was not in a hurry to spend time organizing and distributing them.

After Song Qingming packed these things with a storage bag, he called Song Yuanfang up, handed these spiritual items directly to him, and let Song Yuanfang take them to the family's Treasury Pavilion to slowly count the value of these spiritual items.

Finally, there was a third-tier tool refiner inheritance scroll, which could be used for recording and copying. After Song Qingming found two blank scrolls, he directly recorded a copy for each person and handed them to Xia Mo and He Mengxin.

This kind of high-tier tool-refining inheritance was a very good spiritual item for both cultivation families and sects.

Song Qingming kept a copy in the clan, and could record another copy to exchange for some merits in the sect in the future, which could also be considered a good spiritual item for him.

After handling these obtained spiritual items, Xia Mo and He Mengxin got up and left Song Qingming's cave abode, and under the guidance of Song Qingyu, went to the place Song Yuanfang had already prepared for them to rest.

Although the group's trip to look for treasure was a fruitful harvest, they had also secretly formed a grudge with the Jiuyuan Sect. Xia Mo and He Mengxin didn't dare to go out and attract attention at this time, so they decided to stay in Mount Funiu for a while to avoid the limelight first.

After settling the two women, Song Qingyu didn't return directly to her cave abode on the top of the mountain, but came outside Song Qingming's cave abode again.

Song Qingming, who had just meditated and rested for a while in the cave abode, suddenly felt a burst of restriction fluctuation outside the cave abode, and hurriedly got up to open the array restriction at the entrance of the cave abode.

"Qingyu, you are so tired these days, why don't you rest, and came back again!" Seeing Song Qingyu standing at the door, a trace of doubt appeared on Song Qingming's face.

Song Qingyu looked at Song Qingming with a calm face. After being silent for a moment, she said softly: "Seventh Brother! There is something I want to tell you. Can you accompany me out for a walk now!"

"Silly girl, why don't you just tell me directly, why are you so serious!" After Song Qingming said with a smile, he patted Song Qingyu's shoulder lightly and took the initiative to walk forward.

"Seventh Brother, wait for me!" Seeing this, Song Qingyu also smiled lightly, and then followed quickly.

The two avoided the clansmen on the mountain and walked down from the top of Mount Funiu all the way, soon arriving at the Moon Gazing Pavilion behind the mountain.

Song Qingyu, standing in the stone pavilion, looked at a somewhat desolate mountain road at the foot of the mountain, and said to Song Qingming with a smile: "Seventh Brother, do you remember, when you carried me up the mountain years ago, you walked that mountain road."

"I saw such a high mountain for the first time at that time, and I was afraid that I would fall and die if I didn't pay attention. Fortunately, you kept talking to me at that time, which made me not so afraid later."

Song Qingming nodded slightly: "Yes! It's been more than a hundred years. When I first went up the mountain, it was Uncle Thirteen who took me with him. I was actually as scared to death as you at that time."

"But now Yuanfang and the others have opened up a wider road in front, even mortals can walk up the mountain by themselves, and the children in the clan don't have to be afraid of these things like we did back then."

Song Qingyu pondered for a moment after hearing this, suddenly turned around with a firm face, took out a semi-finished flying sword magic tool from her storage bag, and said to Song Qingming:

"Actually, I fainted in that cave abode that day, not because of excessive magic power consumption, but because of this sword!"

Hearing Song Qingyu suddenly say this, there was not much surprise on Song Qingming's face. He looked at the strange flying sword in her hand with a cautious gaze, and then turned to Song Qingyu's face.

"Qingyu, I know that something happened to you that day. If this matter is very important and you don't need to tell me, then you don't have to say it out now."

"Over the years, you should also be able to guess that I also have some secrets on me that I haven't told you all."

"This is not because I don't trust you and don't want to tell you all, but because some things are not what you can bear now. When one day our cultivation is enough to bear these things, I will naturally tell you all slowly."

Since Song Qingyu fainted mysteriously that day, Song Qingming had actually been suspecting that something had happened to her again.

On the way back, Song Qingyu's expression was somewhat different from before, and she was often absent-minded. Song Qingming had actually seen these subtle changes in the past few days.

The reason why Song Qingming had never taken the initiative to ask Song Qingyu was mainly because he was a bit worried that she was under too much pressure now and it was difficult to open her heart to others.

He originally wanted to find a chance to ask Song Qingyu well after returning for a period of time, but Song Qingming didn't expect that she would take the initiative to come over today.

"Seventh Brother! I understand what you said, but the things that happened to me are just a bit strange, not as serious as you think."

"The reason why I didn't say it out at first was because I hadn't fully figured out the situation at that time, and Sister He and the others were present, so I was a bit worried and didn't dare to tell everyone the truth."

"But don't worry, I have already figured out this matter in the past few days."

Hearing Song Qingyu say this, Song Qingming smiled and responded: "Then tell me! What happened that day."

"Hmm! I'd better start with this strange sword..." After Song Qingyu nodded, she turned around and placed the flying sword in her hand on the table to the side, sat on the stone stool, and slowly told Song Qingming in detail about what she encountered that day from beginning to end.

On that day, after Song Qingyu pulled out the mysterious semi-finished flying sword in her hand, she wanted to put it away. When her magic power just attached to the top of the flying sword, a white light suddenly lit up on the flying sword and went directly into Song Qingyu's body.

After this white light entered her body, Song Qingyu immediately felt a violent dizziness in her sea of consciousness, and soon she fainted.

After a while, Song Qingyu slowly regained consciousness. At this moment, she suddenly felt that something had appeared in her sea of consciousness, and hurriedly used her spiritual sense to probe into the sea of consciousness.

Only then did she discover that a very strange golden flying sword had appeared in her sea of consciousness at some point.

This flying sword emitted a majesty that made people feel cold, and there were some dense various runes on it.

Before Song Qingyu's spiritual sense could get close to the golden flying sword, the runes above the flying sword suddenly lit up by themselves. Immediately afterward, a somewhat blurry memory picture appeared inexplicably in Song Qingyu's mind.

Because Song Qingyu's state was not very good at that time, she tried several times to see the memory in her mind clearly, but only vaguely felt that this memory seemed to be an inheritance left by someone else.

Later, after the group left the cave abode, because she had taken the elixir given by He Mengxin, her state slowly recovered. After exploring the memory in her mind again, she slowly figured out what had happened to her before.

The golden flying sword in Song Qingyu's mind was a sword intent inheritance left by a senior expert.

This senior expert should be the original owner of the cave abode. For some reason, he sealed this sword intent into the semi-finished flying sword that Song Qingyu pulled out and inserted it into the mountain wall behind the stone shelf.

After Song Qingyu pulled out that flying sword and wanted to put away this magic tool, her magic power just touched the sword intent on it, and then she obtained this inheritance left by the senior.

"Sword intent inheritance!"

"Qingyu! I didn't expect you to have such a great opportunity this time. Seventh Brother is really happy for you. I'm afraid your path will be much broader than mine in the future."

The way of the sword cultivator is originally a very powerful cultivation method in the cultivation world. A sword intent inheritance left by a Nascent Soul senior, the preciousness of which naturally goes without saying.

Song Qingyu obtained this inheritance. In the future, if she turns to practice the way of the sword cultivator, she might also have the opportunity to step into the Nascent Soul realm like this senior.

Knowing that what Song Qingyu obtained was a precious sword intent inheritance, a very happy smile appeared on Song Qingming's face.

Seeing Song Qingming so happy, Song Qingyu sighed softly: "Seventh Brother! Although I obtained this opportunity, I still haven't opened it yet."

"How much help this sword intent inheritance left by this senior can be to my path is actually still an unknown thing."

Although Song Qingyu had figured out the ins and outs of the matter by exploring the memory in her mind in the past few days, and also understood that the golden flying sword in her sea of consciousness was an opportunity left by the senior for future generations.

It's just that when she wanted to contact the golden flying sword in her mind, her spiritual sense was blocked by the runes on the flying sword, and she was never able to get in, and could not immediately obtain the sword intent inheritance inside, so she couldn't help but feel a bit discouraged.

"Hehe! Qingyu, don't be impatient about this matter."

"Since it is a sword intent inheritance left by a Nascent Soul senior, it is not strange that your current cultivation cannot open it. After you go into closed-door cultivation to form a core and your cultivation breaks through to the Jin Dan realm, I think you should be able to open this inheritance."
