Chapter 636: Huang Huang Siyuan in seclusion, Spirit Guidao

Seeing this, a look of helplessness appeared on Huang Huang Siyuan's face, and she shook her head slightly at Song Song Qingyu.

Ever since she and Song Song Qingming had been together, the two of them had not failed to consider this issue. However, Song Song Qingming's attitude toward this matter had never been particularly concerned, and out of consideration for Huang Huang Siyuan's Dao path, he did not want to delay her Core Formation time because of it.

Therefore, up to now, the two of them had no plans to have children. At this moment, facing Song Song Qingyu's intentional reminder, although Huang Huang Siyuan knew her good intentions, she could only helplessly shake her head and explain:

"Your Seventh Brother and I have already agreed that we are going to Tiandancheng in a few days to form the Core. How could we have time to worry about these things now? It will have to wait until later."

"If I can successfully form the Core this time, I will certainly be able to walk a longer path with him, so there is no need to be too anxious about whether or not we have children. If I fail, I fear it will be difficult for me to pass this hurdle in this life, and at that time, I will certainly consider this matter carefully."

Seeing that there was still a trace of worry between Huang Huang Siyuan's brows, Song Song Qingyu comforted her repeatedly:

"Sister-in-law! You don't need to worry too much about this. Your current cultivation foundation is no worse than mine was back then. Plus, you have the spiritual spring eye provided by the Heaven Pill Alliance for your seclusion; the probability of success will certainly not be lower than mine was."

Seeing Huang Huang Siyuan arrive as promised, Ye Ye Qiuyuan was also very happy. After some pleasantries, he hurriedly arranged for them to stay in the city first.

Now that Song Song Qingyu had successfully formed the Core, as long as Huang Huang Siyuan could also successfully form a Jin Dan next, there would not be much for him to worry about at home, and he could proceed to prepare for his journey to the Donghuang Kingdom.

"Senior, this should be your first time on Spirit Guidao, right? Do you need someone to guide you?"

In the Donghuang Kingdom's cultivation world, there were no fewer than a hundred sects with Nascent Soul cultivators or above, and there were even legendary Soul Transformation cultivators within its borders. It had always been the holy land for human cultivators in the entire Donghuang Continent.

Seeing the yellow-clothed girl leave in a hurry, Song Song Qingming smiled and shook his head, then turned and walked into the cave dwelling he had just rented.

Another cultivator selected by the family for Foundation Establishment this time was Song Xinting, an outstanding talent among the younger "Xuan" generation of the family.

Before long, Song Song Qingming walked out of the shop with a satisfied look on his face and took out ten spirit stones, placing them into the hands of Luo Li, who had been waiting on the side.

"Even if you don't succeed the first time, with the relationship we have with the Heaven Pill Alliance, it won't be difficult for us to find Five Elements spiritual items to assist in Core Formation. You can just focus on forming your Core; don't think too much about other things. Just leave the rest to Seventh Brother and me."

Song Song Qingming had been traveling everywhere for the past two years and hadn't even caught a glimpse of a Demon King, which made him, who was eager to gain experience, feel somewhat disappointed, leading to his idea of wanting to see the outer seas.

Song Song Qingming nodded slightly upon hearing this and replied: "Fellow Daoist Ye is right. I am naturally at ease with this matter. Next, I intend to travel around the East Sea; I am afraid I won't be back for a short time, so I will have to trouble you to look after Huang Siyuan."

"I asked the shopkeepers of more than a dozen shops in the market before I found news of the Ice Spirit Fruit here in the Wind Spirit Pavilion. A senior brought one back from the outer seas not long ago, and it just happened to be placed in their shop for sale."

On the matter concerning Huang Leqing's Dao path, everyone present gave their support, which also indirectly proved that whether it was the several ancestors of the family or the many family elders beside him, everyone was absolutely certain of the achievements Song Song Yuanfang had made in managing the family for so many years.

Regarding this, Song Song Qingming naturally could not let the other party suffer a loss, so he immediately took the initiative to take out spirit stones equivalent in value to a "Void Spirit Pill" and exchanged them with Ye Ye Qiuyuan for the pill.

Song Song Qingming also understood that the other party wanted to earn more spirit stones from him, so he smiled and asked directly: "Where on this island are there places that specifically sell Profound Ice Fruits of the second rank or higher?"

Although there were many demonic beasts to be seen in various parts of the inner sea, they were basically low-rank beasts of the first or second rank; it was rare to encounter a Demon King of the third rank or higher.

Even in a pill-refining holy land of the East Sea cultivation world like the "Heaven Pill Alliance," this item was very rare. The reason Ye Ye Qiuyuan was able to take it out was that he had happened to obtain a batch of materials not long ago and successfully refined a furnace of "Void Spirit Pills," which gave Huang Huang Siyuan the opportunity to obtain one.

Over the years, in order to cultivate the "Ice-Fire Flood Dragon," Song Song Qingming had already invested many spiritual items in it. Now, the cultivation of this spirit beast had finally reached the peak of the late Qi Refining stage, just one step away from entering the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Senior Song, you have come at a very opportune time. There are a few Jin Dan seniors preparing to go to the Wind Source Sea area next month to hunt a third-rank Demon King. Please wait a moment; I will help you contact them immediately, and we will notify you as soon as there is news."

Back then, after learning from Old Monster Mo at the Dengyun Tower that it might be possible to find news about "Jade Profound Mountain and Grand Void Palace" in the Donghuang Kingdom, Song Song Qingming had actually always had the idea of going there to investigate.

Helpless, Song Song Qingming had to take Huang Huang Siyuan with him to the headquarters of the "Heaven Pill Alliance" before he finally managed to see Ye Ye Qiuyuan.

"Husband, don't worry, I have remembered all these things. You go back first; once I successfully form the Core, I will return home on my own."

After asking a few questions and learning that Song Song Qingming had come specifically to find teammates for hunting demons, the Foundation Establishment cultivator hurriedly replied with a happy face:

"Senior, I have found news about the second-rank spirit fruit you were looking for!" As soon as Song Song Qingming's figure appeared, the yellow-clothed girl hurriedly ran over with an excited face.

"Hmm! Don't worry, I understand. I was just sighing a bit to you; don't go and talk nonsense to your Seventh Brother, lest he worry about me again." After Huang Huang Siyuan finished speaking, a relaxed look appeared on the corners of her mouth again.

Ye Ye Qiuyuan was willing to take out this "Void Spirit Pill" so generously precisely because he saw this point, which was why he had left a favor here in advance.

According to what Song Song Qingming had learned over the years, the territory controlled by the Donghuang Kingdom's cultivation world in the west already occupied nearly a quarter of the entire Donghuang Continent, more than ten times larger than the Floating Yunshan Range.

Hearing Luo Li say this, a look of joy appeared on Song Song Qingming's face, and he strode into the shop named "Wind Spirit Pavilion."

Although the effect of a "Void Spirit Pill" on a cultivator's Core Formation could only be considered icing on the cake and did not have a decisive effect, Huang Huang Siyuan's certainty of forming the Core this time was already not low. Being able to slightly increase the probability of Core Formation was indeed far more important to her now than it would be for an ordinary person.

This time, in addition to the "Heavenly Fire Profound Bead" that assisted in Core Formation, after seeing that Song Song Qingming had prepared a "Du Yuchen Pill" for Huang Huang Siyuan in advance, Ye Ye Qiuyuan also generously took out a "Void Spirit Pill" to be used for Huang Huang Siyuan's Core Formation.

Looking at the glittering spirit stones in his hand, Luo Li's eyes also shone with greed. After putting away the spirit stones, he hurriedly asked: "Senior! Do you have any other instructions?"

The reason he came to Spirit Guidao, besides looking for some spiritual items he wanted, was that Song Song Qingming also wanted to see if he would have the opportunity to follow other cultivators of the same rank to the outer seas for training.

Ten-plus days later, Ye Ye Qiuyuan, having discussed it with other elders in the alliance, sent someone to notify Huang Huang Siyuan to go to the "Heaven Pill Alliance." After informing her of some issues regarding Core Formation, he soon arranged for Huang Huang Siyuan to go to the spirit mountain behind "Tiandancheng" to seclude herself and form the Core.

Ye Ye Qiuyuan waved his hand and smiled: "Haha! Your wife has now joined our Heaven Pill Alliance; there is no need for Fellow Daoist Song to speak, we will naturally do our best."

Like Song Song Yuanli, Song Xinting was also a dual-spirit-root cultivator with excellent talent. He was currently the one with the best cultivation talent among the "Xuan" generation of the Song family, having long since surpassed his peers to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Regarding this discussion on the family's Foundation Establishment candidates, to Song Song Qingming's surprise, the many family elders present all expressed their support for his proposal as the family head to support outside-surname cultivators, and no one raised any objections.

After resting in the cave dwelling for half a day, Song Song Qingming, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly felt that the restrictive array set up at the entrance of the cave dwelling had been touched.

"Senior! Did you come here looking for something? Luo Li is very familiar with all the shops in the city; perhaps I can help you, Senior."

Song Song Qingming nodded with a smile and said: "You have made quite a few contributions to the family during your years at Mount Funiu Mountain. It is only right and proper that you can receive family support for Foundation Establishment now; there is no need to worry about it."

Having had the experience of going to the East Sea cultivation world last time, although there were only the two of them this time, the speed of their journey was much faster than the last time, and it only took them twenty-plus days to arrive at "Tiandancheng."

After seeing off Song Song Yuanfang and the other two, Song Song Qingming gave some instructions to Song Song Qingyu before quietly leaving Mount Funiu Mountain with Huang Huang Siyuan.

The next morning, several Song family elders who were outside hurried back to Mount Funiu Mountain from various places in Qinghe County to attend the family meeting.

After releasing his spiritual sense to investigate outside the cave dwelling, he discovered that it was the yellow-clothed girl from before who had run back. After sending a sound transmission to tell her to wait at the door for a moment, Song Song Qingming got up, tidied himself, and walked out of the cave dwelling.

Soon, the family meeting hall passed a resolution selecting Huang Leqing as the first outside-surname cultivator supported by the family for Foundation Establishment.

Facing this result, which was so smooth that it exceeded his expectations, Song Song Yuanfang, who had not spoken to express his opinion, was also deeply moved.

Leaving Huang Huang Siyuan alone here to form the Core, Song Song Qingming was also a bit uneasy. After arriving at the East Sea, he had the idea of taking this opportunity to travel around a bit more, so as to make some preparations in advance for his future long-distance travels.

In just over two years, his footprints had covered many places in the East Sea cultivation world, and he had gained a deeper understanding of the local customs and practices here.

——

On this day, at an island port in the northeast direction of the East Sea cultivation world, a white escape light suddenly flew in and landed on a port on the west side of the island.

"Fellow Daoist, if you intend to travel in the East Sea, you need to be careful. There are demonic beasts everywhere in the sea; even Jin Dan cultivators like us occasionally run into those troublesome Demon Kings when we go out."

"I have already found what I was looking for; there is nothing else I need help with for the time being. You don't need to follow me anymore!"

The cultivators guarding the city gate did not feel anything strange about the arrival of Song Song Qingming, a stranger. They only verified his identity slightly and collected a few spirit stones before letting him in.

"This is indeed my first time here. I want to find a place to stay inside first; you take me in to have a look!" Song Song Qingming said, taking out two spirit stones and throwing them to the little girl in front of him.

Low-level cultivators like the yellow-clothed girl, who had just entered the Dao, were mostly because their spirit root aptitude was poor and they could not join a cultivation sect, which was why they were reduced to being rogue cultivators, begging for a living for a few spiritual items.

In the Donghuang Kingdom's cultivation world, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would not count for much there, let alone Jin Dan level cultivators like Song Song Qingming and the others.

Standing at the city gate, Song Song Qingming was just about to ask around about how to enter the city when a yellow-clothed girl of seventeen or eighteen suddenly walked toward him.

Before long, at the entrance to the city in front of the port, there was an extra young man dressed in green.

If one wanted to have more security while traveling abroad, in addition to improving one's own strength, one also needed to exercise one's experience in traveling abroad. It was precisely because of this that Song Song Qingming had the idea of traveling in the East Sea cultivation world.

After receiving the Foundation Establishment Pill he had been longing for from Song Song Qingming's hand, Huang Leqing hurriedly knelt down and performed a respectful salute.

Song Song Qingming glanced sideways at the yellow-clothed girl and, seeing that her cultivation was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, soon guessed that the other party should be a guide cultivator on this island.

Having traveled in the East Sea cultivation world for more than two years, Song Song Qingming had basically been in the inner sea area. This was his first time coming to an island adjacent to the outer seas.

After bidding farewell to Ye Ye Qiuyuan, Song Song Qingming left "Tiandancheng" directly and began to travel through various parts of the East Sea cultivation world.

It was just that because his cultivation was still shallow at the time, and Song Song Qingyu and Huang Huang Siyuan had not yet formed the Core, he was unable to let go of the family, which was why it had been delayed until now.

After parting ways with Luo Li, Song Song Qingming walked alone toward the middle of Spirit Guidao and soon arrived outside a very tall hall.

This hall was a place for the many cultivators who came to Spirit Guidao to form teams and hunt in the sea. Song Song Qingming came here just to see if he could find an opportunity to go to the outer seas to hunt demons.

Seeing this, Song Song Qingming nodded calmly and said: "To have news so quickly, it seems you have put in the effort. Where in the city is it sold? Take me there to have a look first!"

After the family meeting ended, Song Song Yuanfang immediately took his wife, Huang Leqing, and another family junior, Song Xinting, to the top of the mountain.

"Profound Ice Fruit of the second rank or higher? I really haven't seen that, but Senior, you can wait a moment. I will go to the market to ask around for you now; there should be news very soon."

However, it is not easy for a demonic beast to advance and break through a major realm. If there is no external help, the "Ice-Fire Flood Dragon" Song Song Qingming has would probably need at least ten or twenty years to successfully advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.

After the array restriction at the entrance of the cave dwelling had been opened, Ye Ye Qiuyuan, who was standing on the side, walked over and said to Song Song Qingming:

"Fellow Daoist Song, rest assured. Although our Tiandancheng is not a top-tier sect, we have a Nascent Soul ancestor sitting in the city all year round. Your wife is secluding herself here; there will certainly be no problems in terms of safety."

"Moreover, her cultivation foundation far exceeds that of an ordinary person forming the Core. The old man estimates that the possibility of her successfully breaking through to the Jin Dan realm this time is still very high. You just need to wait patiently."

In order to help it break through its cultivation as soon as possible, Song Song Qingming had also been asking around recently for second-rank spiritual items of ice and fire attributes that could help the "Ice-Fire Flood Dragon" advance.

It must be said that the two cultivators selected for Foundation Establishment this time were significantly more talented than Song Song Yuanqian and Song Song Changwen from a few years ago, and the probability of successful Foundation Establishment should also be slightly higher.

After following the yellow-clothed woman into the city, Song Song Qingming soon found a place to stay in the city with her help.

The "Void Spirit Pill" and the "Du Yuchen Pill" have the same effect; they are also a type of spiritual medicine that has some effect in assisting Core Formation. However, one of the main ingredients of this pill requires a very rare third-rank spiritual water, which is very difficult to refine and is not as common as the "Du Yuchen Pill."

This time, the main purpose of going to the East Sea cultivation world was Huang Huang Siyuan's Core Formation. Therefore, Song Song Qingming did not prepare as many spirit stones and spiritual items as last time and set off directly with Huang Huang Siyuan.

Just after opening the bag, the "Ice-Fire Flood Dragon," which had been inside for several days, immediately poked its head out and then crawled along Song Song Qingming's arm onto his shoulder.

Although Huang Huang Siyuan already had the experience of forming the Core once, before she went into seclusion this time, Song Song Qingming still couldn't help but give her careful instructions again.

Facing Song Song Qingming's well-intentioned instructions, Huang Huang Siyuan listened very patiently before nodding gently.

"I hope you can successfully establish your Foundation and make more contributions to the family in the future."

Seeing the spirit stones given by Song Song Qingming, a trace of joy appeared in the yellow-clothed girl's eyes, and she then walked respectfully in front of Song Song Qingming.

However, before that, Song Song Qingming still wanted to work hard to improve himself and make more preparations for going out, although he had already successfully broken through to the mid-stage of the Jin Dan realm.

Seeing that Song Song Qingming had made up his mind, Huang Huang Siyuan did not say much, nodded slightly, and turned to walk into the cave dwelling where she was to seclude herself.

Even for himself, who had just formed the Core not long ago, it would probably not be so easy to defeat Song Song Qingyu as she was now.

Just after walking into the hall, a Foundation Establishment cultivator not far away saw that a Jin Dan cultivator had arrived and hurriedly welcomed him with enthusiasm, inviting Song Song Qingming to the back of the hall to treat him warmly.

Song Xinting is only in his thirties now. If he can successfully establish his Foundation this time, he will definitely have a chance to impact the Jin Dan realm in the future. The family has attached great importance to his cultivation over the years and has always been cultivating him as a Foundation Establishment seed.

When the two of them came to the "Heaven Pill Pavilion" to find Ye Ye Qiuyuan, they didn't expect that after only a few years, the "Heaven Pill Pavilion" had already changed to a Jin Dan elder who was relatively unfamiliar to them.

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist for the reminder!"

After closing the door of the cave dwelling, Song Song Qingming checked the surroundings and took off a spirit beast bag from his body.

Seeing the excited look on the yellow-clothed girl's face, Song Song Qingming didn't say much and hurriedly followed her closely.

The Cloud Crane Demon King, which posed the greatest threat to Mount Tuoyun Mountain, only had the strength of the peak of the early Jin Dan stage, and after being scared by Song Song Qingming once last time, it hadn't appeared for a long time. With Song Song Qingyu guarding the home, there would certainly be no major problems.

During the battle with the Demon King on the way to "Ten Thousand Lakes Island" last time, the magical powers Song Song Qingyu displayed were already able to easily suppress the "Black-Scaled Beast," which was also at the early Jin Dan stage. On this point, Song Song Qingming still recognized her.

The outer seas are several times more dangerous than the near seas. Whether it is Foundation Establishment or Jin Dan cultivators, they generally dare not go to the outer seas to hunt demons alone; they need to form a team of at least four or five people to travel together.

However, Song Song Qingming's cultivation might be considered quite good in the Floating Yunshan Range, but it is still far from enough if he goes to those large cultivation worlds outside.

"Senior, rest assured, I grew up on this Spirit Guidao. Whatever you want to find here, or whatever news you want to ask about, I can help you. Please follow me into the city first!"

Cultivators from such rogue backgrounds will not have a good life anywhere in the cultivation world. Having traveled in the East Sea cultivation world for so long, Song Song Qingming had long since encountered such guide cultivators in many places.

"With Song Qingyu at home, there won't be any problems. I have already planned to travel in the East Sea cultivation world for a few years first. Once you successfully form the Core, I will come to pick you up and return together." After hesitating for a moment, Song Song Qingming still told Huang Huang Siyuan his thoughts.

This Spirit Guidao is a large island adjacent to the outer seas under the control of a Nascent Soul sect. Most of the cultivators on the island are those who have gathered from all over the place, cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage who come to the outer seas to hunt demons and look for spiritual items.

After taking Song Song Qingming to the cave dwelling he rented in the back mountain, the yellow-clothed girl named Luo Li asked respectfully again.

Although Song Song Qingyu's cultivation is only at the first level of the Jin Dan, she practices the Dao of sword cultivation. After successfully refining her own natal magic treasure, her fighting strength has clearly exceeded that of ordinary cultivators of the same rank.

"Leqing thanks the ancestor for the cultivation. In the future, I will definitely do my best to serve the family."

After Luo Li finished speaking, before Song Song Qingming could express his stance, she turned around and ran quickly toward the market.

Hearing the words of refusal from Song Song Qingming, a trace of disappointment could not help but appear on Luo Li's face. However, she did not dare to say anything more, nodded in response, and then took the initiative to leave.

After getting Song Song Qingming's nod of agreement, the Foundation Establishment cultivator hurriedly walked out with a smile on his face.

After Song Song Qingming waited for a long time, the Foundation Establishment cultivator returned to the back of the hall and brought back a man and a woman, two Jin Dan cultivators with high cultivation.

As soon as he saw the figures of these two, a look of surprise appeared on Song Song Qingming's face, and he stood up in astonishment. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 638 =====
