Chapter 611: Genius Cultivator, Bidding Farewell to Old Friends

The reason why Song Qingming would say this was because he had encountered this situation when he obtained the "Jade Profound Scripture" cultivation method years ago.

Only after the cultivation reaches a certain realm can one open and obtain the subsequent cultivation method. This was also a test specially set by the owner who left this inheritance cultivation method years ago.

Song Qingyu is now facing the situation of not being able to open the sword intent inheritance in her body. According to Song Qingming's guess, it is almost certainly the same problem.

Hearing Song Qingming's comforting words, Song Qingyu nodded slightly: "Seventh Brother, you are right. I indeed have this feeling too. No matter when I can obtain this sword intent inheritance, it is useless to be anxious."

Seeing that Song Qingyu was no longer entangled in this problem, Song Qingming showed a bit of relief, then walked over and picked up the semi-finished flying sword on the stone table and looked at it carefully.

It has to be said that in the cultivation world, the thing of personal opportunity is really a thing that is difficult to grasp.

This time going to look for treasure, originally Song Qingming didn't want to take Song Qingyu to take risks together. It was He Mengxin and Xia Mo who insisted, and he finally agreed to this matter.

Unexpectedly, when the four of them were searching for spiritual items in the cave abode together, the three Jin Dan cultivators with the highest cultivation didn't discover the flying sword inserted in the mountain wall in time.

Instead, it was Song Qingyu, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, who discovered it by chance.

Thinking that this incomparably precious sword intent inheritance finally fell into Song Qingyu's hands, this also made Song Qingming, who had just learned about this matter, feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

Fortunately, in any case, Song Qingyu could be considered the person closest to him among the few. Her obtaining this inheritance is not much different from Song Qingming obtaining it himself.

After all, Song Qingming had already brought out a set of Nascent Soul cultivation methods from the "Tongtian Pavilion" before, and he was already not lacking the cultivation methods needed for future cultivation. Whether he obtained this inheritance or not had no such great impact on his future path.

Moreover, the sword cultivator inheritance is much more powerful in fighting than other cultivation methods, and it also requires some talent to practice, which is not so easy.

Among the many Jin Dan Elders in the Xiaoyao Sect, only Chen Xuanxin succeeded in forming a core after practicing the way of the sword cultivator.

Even if Song Qingyu obtained this opportunity, how far she could go in the future still depends on her future cultivation situation. It is not necessarily as good as Song Qingming thought, and she could easily touch the Nascent Soul realm.

After chatting with Song Qingyu for a while, it could be considered to have untied the knot in her heart recently.

It made this girl quickly return to the more lively state before, and she began to chat with Song Qingming about other things with a smile. From time to time, a burst of relaxed and happy laughter sounded in the stone pavilion.

Until the sunset fell and it was late, the two got up and left here, and returned to their respective cave abodes.

For nearly a month, no one left Mount Funiu. It wasn't until the news from the outside proved that no one from the Jiuyuan Sect had entered the Wei State that Song Qingming and the others gradually felt relieved.

During this month, Song Qingming, He Mengxin, and Xia Mo would occasionally sit together to drink tea and chat in their spare time.

After the experience of exploring the Nascent Soul cave abode last time, Song Qingming and the two women could be considered to have a bit of life-and-death friendship, and the relationship between them had become much more familiar.

In several conversations, Song Qingming also slowly learned about the situation of the two women and the sect forces behind them.

The Hundred Flower Palace where He Mengxin and Xia Mo were located is a relatively large Nascent Soul sect in the East Sea cultivation world. Its power is even stronger than the Xiaoyao Sect, roughly similar to the Star Gate in the Wu State, and there are also two Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect.

The Hundred Flower Palace is a sect that mainly recruits female disciples. The main cultivation methods and the high-tier cultivators in the sect are basically female cultivators.

He Mengxin had joined the Hundred Flowers Palace only after several twists and turns following her departure from the State of Wei years ago, while Xia Mo was a cultivator native to the East Sea, and this was also her first time traveling through the cultivation world of the Mount Yunwu mountain range.

Compared to He Mengxin, who had just formed a core not long ago and had a cultivation of only the second layer of Jin Dan, what surprised Song Qingming was that Xia Mo had only formed a core for more than fifty years, which was slightly earlier than Song Qingming's success in forming a core by about ten years.

Song Qingming had not broken through to the fourth layer of Jin Dan forty years after forming a core. Xia Mo had only formed a core ten years earlier than him, and she had already cultivated to the seventh layer of Jin Dan.

Knowing Xia Mo's cultivation speed after breaking through the Jin Dan realm, Song Qingming was also extremely shocked at that time.

According to the normal cultivation progress of general Jin Dan cultivators, Song Qingming's current cultivation speed is actually not slow. Even among the more than ten Jin Dan Elders in the Xiaoyao Sect, he can be ranked in the middle.

But compared to Xia Mo's abnormal speed of cultivating to the late stage of Jin Dan fifty years after breaking through the Jin Dan realm, Song Qingming's cultivation speed is really not enough to look at.

In Song Qingming's impression, it seems that no one can be compared with her. Even that Senior Sister Bai with the Heavenly Spiritual Root in the sect, her cultivation speed after breaking through the Jin Dan realm was slightly worse than Xia Mo's.

Although Xia Mo and He Mengxin didn't say it clearly, from the fact that this woman's cultivation speed was so fast, Song Qingming could also guess a few points. Xia Mo should be a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator who is very rare in the cultivation world.

The talent of cultivation is innate, and it is almost difficult to make up for it later.

Some people have average spiritual root talent, and they work hard to practice all their lives, and they can only cultivate step by step, polish their cultivation, use elixirs, and slowly break through one bottleneck after another on their cultivation path.

But some people have too good talent, and cultivation is as simple as drinking water. The realm that others can't break through even if they squeeze their brains all their lives, they may be able to break through easily after closed-door cultivation and meditation.

After guessing that Xia Mo was a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator, Song Qingming gradually had some understanding of the precious third-tier top-quality magic treasures she took out before.

Like such a gifted cultivation genius, she must be like Bai Yuxian, an important person who is focused on cultivation within the Nascent Soul sect and has the opportunity to condense the Nascent Soul in the future.

Being able to take out a few precious magic treasures and use third-tier top-quality spiritual talismans at will, these should all be normal things that make sense for Xia Mo.

Facing geniuses like Xia Mo and Bai Yuxian who were born almost at the top of their peers, Song Qingming had no other too much movement in his heart except for some envy.

After reaching the Jin Dan realm, Song Qingming had seen many genius cultivators. Even for geniuses with Heavenly Spiritual Roots like Xia Mo, when it comes to breaking through to the Nascent Soul, there is not necessarily an absolute certainty that they can break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

As a four-spiritual-root cultivator who has cultivated all the way to the Jin Dan realm, Song Qingming now naturally didn't care too much about the theory of spiritual root talent as before.

Whether the spiritual root quality is good or bad can indeed determine the fate of most people, but there are always a few people who have the opportunity to change their fate. Whether it is Heavenly Spiritual Root or False Spiritual Root, who can go to the end depends on their own good fortune in the future.

During the time He Mengxin and the other stayed in Mount Funiu, Song Yuanfang and the others soon counted and estimated the prices of the low-tier spiritual items they obtained from treasure hunting this time.

Song Qingming was not afraid of these low-tier spiritual items. After the Song family took them to the market to sell, would anyone discover any clues inside and attract suspicion from the Jiuyuan Sect or others.

After selling more than half of them at a slight discount, Song Qingming soon gathered twenty thousand spirit stones and handed them to Xia Mo and He Mengxin.

For the spirit stones sent by Song Qingming, Xia Mo and the other didn't stand on ceremony with him and accepted them generously.

——

Three months later, on the top of Mount Jingyuan, a cyan light suddenly flew over and landed on an open space on the top of the mountain.

Song Qingming took Song Qingyu and Song Changze and just landed from above the "Phantom Boat." Not far away, several figures immediately greeted them.

"Qingyu, Daoist Song! I didn't expect you all to come."

Looking at He Mengxin in front of him, Song Qingyu's face showed a bit of reluctance: "Sister He, have you decided to leave today?"

Seeing that Song Qingyu was a bit unhappy, He Mengxin smiled and nodded: "Qingyu, Sister Xia and I have been traveling out of the sect for so long, and it's about time to go back."

"Sending a gentleman for a thousand miles, there will eventually be a parting. I hope you can break through to the Jin Dan realm as soon as possible. When the time comes, come to the Hundred Flower Palace to find us, and I will certainly treat you well."

Seeing that He Mengxin had already made a decision, Song Qingyu felt reluctant in her heart, but could only nod helplessly.

After bidding farewell to Song Qingyu for a few words, He Mengxin suddenly whispered to Song Qingming: "Clan Leader Song, can I borrow a step to say a few words?"

Seeing this, Song Qingming nodded slightly and soon followed He Mengxin and the other to a place not far away.

After casually arranging a sound-insulation barrier beside the two, He Mengxin took out a bag of spirit stones from her storage bag and handed it to Song Qingming.

"Daoist Song, these spirit stones are not much, please accept them. It is my gratitude for your help in rebuilding the Liu family. In the future, please take care of Yuxin."

"Last time Qingyu also told me about the matter between Yuxin and your family's Changze."

"I still like Changze's character. However, although I am Yuxin's master, I will not interfere too much in emotional matters. Whether they can be together depends on their fate."

"This child, although everything is fine, only her temper has been spoiled by me. No matter what happens in the future, please help take care of this as an elder."

Song Qingming took the spirit stones in He Mengxin's hand and responded softly: "Since Daoist He has no opinion on this matter, then let's see their fate. I will not interfere in this matter either."

"If you have time, you can come back to Qinghe County to see more. With me on Mount Jingyuan, the Song family will naturally not treat them badly. Please rest assured about this."

"Yes! After all, I no longer carry the Liu surname, and I have joined a sect abroad. Returning to Mount Jingyuan this time to fulfill the late clan leader's last wish can be considered living up to the care that he and the family showed me back then."

"Cultivation is not easy, and I am not a person who likes to be tied by the family. In the future, I will only focus on personal cultivation. If there is nothing important in the Wei State, I probably won't come back easily."

"However, if Daoist Song has the opportunity, you can go to the East Sea to travel with Qingyu. Compared to the Fuyun Mountain Range, the spiritual items in the East Sea cultivation world are much richer."

"If you have the opportunity to go, you will naturally know that it will certainly not disappoint you. When the time comes, Sister Xia and I will certainly treat you two old friends well in the Hundred Flower Palace!"

Song Qingming nodded with a smile: "Since Daoist He is so kind to invite, I will certainly consider it well. However, at the moment, family affairs are busy, and this matter is afraid that it will have to wait until Qingyu and the others form a core before talking."

Regarding what He Mengxin said, Song Qingming also agreed very much in his heart. He actually had the idea of traveling out long ago, but the place he wanted to go was not the East Sea cultivation world.

After obtaining the "Jade Profound Scripture," a cultivation method that had a profound impact on his path, in Guiyun Market years ago, Song Qingming had always wanted to find the origin of this cultivation method, as well as the Jin Dan stage techniques needed for subsequent cultivation.

However, after inquiring for so many years, he didn't get specific news about "Jade Profound Mountain" and "Grand Void Palace," which shows that these two places are simply not around the Fuyun Mountain Range.

Song Qingming wanted to investigate the news, and could only try his luck in the East Phoenix State on the west side of the continent according to what Mo Laoguai said years ago.

The East Phoenix State is far larger than the Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world. It is the most core cultivation world in the East Phoenix Immortal Continent and will have connections with the cultivation worlds around the continent.

As long as the two places Song Qingming is looking for are on the East Phoenix Immortal Continent, going to the East Phoenix State to inquire, there will certainly be results.

If it is really as Mo Laoguai guessed, not on this continent, then Song Qingming can only temporarily extinguish this idea.

Although Song Qingming's cultivation has broken through to the Jin Dan realm and can be considered a relatively high-tier cultivator in the cultivation world, without accurate news, wanting to cross the state boundary to find an ethereal place is still a bit too difficult for him now.

The entire Huayang World's five continents and four seas are incomparably vast. Even if Jin Dan cultivators want to travel around, it is difficult to do so without a few hundred years. Song Qingming is not a loose cultivator without worries and cannot travel outside for such a long time.

Unless his cultivation can break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future and can achieve an escape speed of ten thousand miles a day, otherwise Song Qingming will not have the idea of crossing the state boundary to search for two places.

However, although Song Qingming had the idea of traveling to the East Phoenix State and then inquiring about "Jade Profound Mountain" and "Grand Void Palace," he was not so anxious to set off at the moment.

Going to the East Phoenix State for a trip will take at least twenty or thirty years to return to the Wei State. Now Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan are both at the juncture of forming a core. No matter what, Song Qingming will not choose to leave home to travel at this time.

At least wait until they both go into closed-door cultivation to form a core before Song Qingming will consider this problem.

Hearing Song Qingming mention the matter of Song Qingyu forming a core, He Mengxin smiled and said: "Daoist Song, if Qingyu fails to form a core this time, you don't have to be too anxious."

"Compared to the difficulty of finding Core Formation spiritual items in the Fuyun Mountain Range, the situation in our East Sea cultivation world is slightly better. If it really doesn't work, you can also try to go to the East Sea to see."

"At that time, I can also help you think of ways. No matter what, I am also a close friend of Qingyu. As long as I can help, I will certainly not refuse."

"That's great, I will thank Daoist He first!"

After Song Qingming and He Mengxin were polite for a few words, they walked back to the crowd together. After He Mengxin gave a few words to Liu Yuxin beside her, she soon left Mount Jingyuan with Xia Mo.

Watching the escape light turned into by He Mengxin and Xia Mo slowly disappear before her eyes, Liu Yuxin, who was standing in place, also showed a burst of inexplicable sadness in her eyes.

"Changze, you take care of Yuxin, let's go back first."

Seeing this scene, Song Qingyu said to Song Changze beside her, and without caring whether he understood or not, turned around and left Mount Jingyuan with Song Qingming.

Seeing that only himself and Liu Yuxin, who was still sad, were left on the top of the mountain, Song Changze hesitated for a long time, and just wanted to step forward to comfort Liu Yuxin, but found that she had already put away the sadness on her face.

"Alright! I'm fine, you go back quickly too!"

After Liu Yuxin finished speaking, she didn't care about Song Changze and walked toward her cave abode by herself.

After walking for more than ten steps, Liu Yuxin turned her head suddenly and found that Song Changze had followed behind her, a bit puzzled: "Didn't I say I was fine, why are you still following me!"

"Old Ancestor Qingyu told me to take care of you. If you let me go back like this, how can I explain to her old man." Song Changze replied helplessly.

"Why is your brain always so unopen? What kind of explanation is needed for this? Can't you find a place where no one is to turn around by yourself, and go back later." After Liu Yuxin finished speaking, she pointed to the foot of the mountain and turned around to continue walking forward.

Song Changze pondered for a moment after hearing this, but still didn't leave immediately. Looking at Liu Yuxin's back, he chased up quickly.

——

After bidding farewell to He Mengxin and Xia Mo, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, who left Mount Jingyuan, returned to Mount Funiu for half a day, and soon set off for Mount Tuoyun.

Just arrived at the top of Mount Tuoyun, Huang Siyuan in purple clothes immediately appeared in front of Song Qingming and the other.

"Siyuan, these days, is there anything wrong with Mount Tuoyun!"

Huang Siyuan shook her head slightly and replied: "In the past few months, the mountain has been peaceful, and no unknown foreign cultivators have been found."

One month after returning from the Yue State, Song Qingming sent someone to inquire. Seeing that no one from the Jiuyuan Sect had found Mount Tuoyun, he gradually let go of a bit of worry in his heart and went to Mount Tuoyun in person.

He originally wanted to take Huang Siyuan back to Mount Funiu to live for a period of time, but Huang Siyuan happened to be in closed-door cultivation and hadn't come out yet. After reporting peace to her, Song Qingming left here.

Not seeing Song Qingming and the other for several months, Huang Siyuan, who had just come out of closed-door cultivation, was also very happy in her heart and personally cooked several spiritual foods that Song Qingming and the other liked.

After drinking, tea, and celebrating, Song Qingming also told Huang Siyuan in detail about the detailed things that happened in these few months.

For Huang Siyuan, Song Qingming had long regarded her and Song Qingyu as the closest people around him, so naturally he didn't hide from her about all the things about this trip to the Yue State.

Including Song Qingyu obtaining that sword intent inheritance, and later on the way back, the group encountered the interception of Linghu Jie of the Jiuyuan Sect, and he and Xia Mo killed the Jin Dan Elder of the Jiuyuan Sect together, all of which were told to Huang Siyuan without reservation.

Hearing that what the group found was a Nascent Soul cave abode, and Song Qingyu inadvertently obtained the senior's inheritance, Huang Siyuan was also very happy for the two.

But hearing that they were forced to form a grudge with the Jiuyuan Sect later, Huang Siyuan's face slowly showed a trace of worry again.

"Husband, the Jiuyuan Sect is a Nascent Soul sect after all. Once they know about this matter, I'm afraid that we and the entire family will have a disaster. You shouldn't have told me about this matter."

Song Qingming smiled and shook his head slightly: "Siyuan, you and Qingyu are the people I trust most. I don't want to hide these things from you. In the future, no matter what happens, I hope we can advance and retreat together and face it together."

Huang Siyuan nodded slightly: "Husband, I understand what you mean, but this matter is too dangerous after all, and I can't help but worry in my heart."

"From the current situation, the Jiuyuan Sect should still not have seen through my identity, otherwise Mount Tuoyun would not be so quiet."

"Moreover, the Jiuyuan Sect and the sect are originally mortal enemies. Without absolute certainty, they dare not go deep into the Wei State territory. We don't have to worry too much about this point."

After Song Qingming analyzed this matter softly, Huang Siyuan's face eased a little, and she nodded with a smile.

After finishing this matter with Huang Siyuan, Song Qingming took out a square wooden box and a white porcelain bottle from his body and handed them directly to Song Qingyu.

"Qingyu, I see that your state recently is ready, and you can go into closed-door cultivation at any time. The matter of forming a core should be early rather than late. You should also go into closed-door cultivation as soon as possible, and strive to form a core successfully as soon as possible, which will be better for your future path."

"Don't have any worries in your heart. I still say that sentence. No matter what the result of this core formation is, I will try my best to support you to form a core successfully."

The magic power in Song Qingyu's body had long been polished well. After years of hard cultivation, her "Hidden Origin Technique" had also been successfully cultivated to the perfect state.

This time Song Qingming and the other obtained "Green Jade True Water" from Xia Mo, a Core Formation spiritual item that is more suitable for her. Song Qingyu, who had all the conditions ready, could now go into closed-door cultivation at any time to impact the Jin Dan realm again.

After taking the "Green Jade True Water" and Jade Dust Elixir handed over by Song Qingming, Song Qingyu said confidently: "Seventh Brother, don't worry, I will start closed-door cultivation tomorrow. No matter what the result is this time, I will not give up the matter of forming a core easily."

"Hmm! It's good that you understand."

"However, Qingyu, don't worry too much. Now your magic power cultivation has been polished enough, the Hidden Origin Technique has also been cultivated to great success, plus these two Core Formation spiritual items, according to my experience, your chance of forming a core this time should not be worse than mine at that time."
