Chapter 676

After talking with Song Song Qingming on the bed for a while, Yao Yao Ganshu called in a young man of about twenty years old who was waiting outside and asked him to bring over a wooden box stored on a stone table on one side of the cave.

"Junior Brother Song, all the spiritual items on me have already been handed over to Junior Sister Bai, and I let her take them to the Merit Pavilion to distribute to other Elders in the sect. There is still a spiritual talisman in here, which was accidentally found by Yao Muling when looking for things a few days ago.

Today you happened to arrive here, so I will give this talisman to you!" After Yao Yao Ganshu finished speaking, he let the young man who was taking care of him hand the wooden box in his hand to Song Song Qingming.

Seeing this, Song Song Qingming hurriedly waved his hand at him: "Sect Master Senior Brother, I came to visit you today. How can I accept such a great gift from Senior Brother? This matter is absolutely impossible. Don't make things difficult for me, Junior Brother."

"Hehe! Junior Brother Song, don't be offended. This child is a blood descendant of my clan, and his talent is quite good. If there is a chance in the future, I hope you can help him a little. This item will be considered as Senior Brother thanking you in advance."

Hearing Yao Yao Ganshu say this, Song Song Qingming shifted his gaze to this descendant of Yao Yao Ganshu on the side. After his spiritual sense scanned him slightly, Song Song Qingming could not help but nod slightly.

This descendant of Yao Yao Ganshu looked to be thirty or forty years old, and his cultivation had already reached the second level of Foundation Establishment. It is estimated that he should also be a dual-spirit-root cultivator with excellent talent, and there is some hope of impacting the Jin Dan realm in the future.

By gifting a precious third-level spiritual talisman to himself this time, Yao Yao Ganshu also wanted Song Song Qingming to help his junior at the critical moment of forming his core in the future.

Understanding Yao Yao Ganshu's intention, Song Song Qingming nodded and agreed to him, and without being too polite, he directly took the wooden box from the young man's hand and put it into his storage magic treasure.

"Many thanks to Sect Master Senior Brother for the treasure. Song Qingming will keep this matter in mind!"

Seeing this, Yao Yao Ganshu also nodded with some gratification.

"Junior Brother Song, although your talent is not outstanding among many junior and senior brothers, being able to walk to the present step by step shows that you are indeed a person with opportunities, and your path in the future will certainly not be worse than mine.

In my life, the early path was smooth, but I lacked a bit of opportunity when breaking through to Nascent Soul. Speaking of which, I have failed the expectations of Senior Uncle Li and the sect. If it were not for this, the sect might not have to endure the aggression of the northern spirit beasts so often today.

I hope that in the future, Junior Sister Bai and you will have the hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, helping Senior Uncle Li solve the threat of the northern spirit beasts to the sect, and carrying forward our Carefree Sect."

"Senior Sister Bai's cultivation talent far exceeds ours, and she is a Heaven Spirit Root cultivator. In the future, she will certainly be able to form a Nascent Soul to help the sect stabilize the unfavorable situation in the north. Sect Master Senior Brother, rest assured, we will certainly follow and assist Senior Sister Bai and Senior Uncle Li with all our strength."

"Mm! I hope it can really be as you said."

"..."

After chatting with Yao Yao Ganshu for a while, seeing that there was a bit of fatigue on his face, Song Song Qingming got up and bid farewell to leave his place and went directly to the sect's Merit Pavilion.

After Li Mu issued the order to start transporting supplies to the front line, the sect's Merit Pavilion also became busy all of a sudden. Streaks of light flew back and forth, and hundreds of disciples at the entrance were constantly moving and counting various spiritual items, a scene of great bustle.

After Song Song Qingming arrived at the Merit Pavilion, he asked someone and found Xu Cheng Ziyan, who was busy counting spiritual items on the second floor.

Is the spirit beast turmoil coming? Most of the Jin Dan Elders of the sect have already begun to rush to the front line, preparing to deal with the upcoming spirit beast invasion.

Now on Mount Mount Guyang, besides Sect Master Bai Bai Yuxian and Chen Chen Xuanxin, who is in seclusion, only Xu Cheng Ziyan, the Jin Dan Elder in charge of the sect's miscellaneous affairs and allocating front-line supplies, is left.

When Song Song Qingming left back then, Xu Cheng Ziyan was only at the second level of Jin Dan. Now, more than twenty years later, her cultivation has also successfully reached the peak of the third level of Jin Dan, just one step away from breaking through to the middle stage of Jin Dan.

Although Xu Cheng Ziyan's cultivation speed after breaking through to Jin Dan is not particularly fast among the many Jin Dan Elders of the Carefree Sect, it can be considered steady. If she practices successfully, she should also have the opportunity to cultivate to the late stage of Jin Dan like Li Li Wutong.

Since Song Song Qingming went to the "Donghuangxianzhou" cultivation world to travel, the two have not seen each other for many years. Now that they have just met, it is inevitable that they will exchange pleasantries again, and then Song Song Qingming slowly spoke about the purpose of his trip.

Hearing that Song Song Qingming came to look for some materials for setting up arrays, Xu Cheng Ziyan personally took him to the third floor of the Merit Pavilion and took two sets of second-level high-grade arrays and handed them to him.

The Carefree Sect has been established for thousands of years. Although there are not many arrays above the third level in the sect, there is no shortage of second-level arrays. When encountering this once-in-a-century spirit beast turmoil, the Merit Pavilion naturally will not be stingy with these spiritual items that can help deal with spirit beasts.

"Senior Brother Song, Song Qingyu has already had people set up a third-level mountain-protecting array at Jin Shan Market before. With these two arrays, it should be enough."

"I will also leave some supplies here for emergency use. If there is anything lacking at Jin Shan Market at that time, Senior Brother Song, just send a message, and I will try my best to raise them."

After registering the two second-level high-grade arrays in her hand, Xu Cheng Ziyan immediately handed them to Song Song Qingming.

After taking the arrays, Song Song Qingming smiled and replied: "This spirit beast turmoil is somewhat different from the past. I am afraid I will need Junior Sister Xu to take care of more things on this side. With your words, I am also relieved."

After getting the array he wanted, Song Song Qingming did not stay any longer. After bidding farewell to Xu Cheng Ziyan, he soon left the sect's Merit Pavilion and returned directly to Mount Mount Funiu.

Not long after Song Song Qingming left the Merit Pavilion, a sound transmission flew into Li Mu's cave and fell into the hands of Bai Bai Yuxian, who was sitting on the side.

After Bai Bai Yuxian opened the sound transmission and took a look, Li Mu, who was tasting tea on the other side, immediately asked: "Is everything ready at the Merit Pavilion?"

"Mm! Junior Sister Xu also said that Junior Brother Song just went to the Merit Pavilion to take two sets of second-level high-grade arrays and has now left the Merit Pavilion." After Bai Bai Yuxian responded, she replied softly.

Hearing this, Li Mu nodded with a smile, did not say anything more, and picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip.

After Bai Bai Yuxian finished speaking, she got up and bowed slightly to Li Mu: "Senior Uncle Li, it is getting late, and I still have to escort supplies to Mount Guiyun Market. I will take my leave first!"

Seeing this, Li Mu also put down the teacup in his hand and sighed: "Bai Yuxian, originally I intended to let you go into seclusion to break through to Nascent Soul this time.

But with the sudden changes at Golden Feather Mountain, I am also a bit worried that the matter of Yao Ganshu back then will repeat itself on you, so I wanted to wait until the sect overcomes this catastrophe before letting you go into seclusion to condense the Nascent Soul with peace of mind. Don't have too many thoughts and concerns in your heart because of this."

In previous years, Li Mu went to the "East Sea cultivation world" again and had already found a way to exchange for a spiritual item for forming the Nascent Soul for Bai Bai Yuxian. Originally, he could have arranged for her to go into seclusion to form the Nascent Soul.

But at that time, it was already close to the spirit beast turmoil. Even if Bai Bai Yuxian were allowed to go into seclusion immediately to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, it would take at least ten or twenty years to have results.

Moreover, if Bai Bai Yuxian failed to break through to Nascent Soul, she might be like Yao Yao Ganshu back then, and thus unable to fully participate in this great battle of the sect against the spirit beasts.

Bai Bai Yuxian is currently the person with the highest cultivation in the sect besides Supreme Elder Li Mu. If she cannot participate in the war, for the Carefree Sect, it is equivalent to losing a very important late-stage Jin Dan combat power, which will inevitably affect the situation of the entire battlefield.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, after thinking it over carefully, Li Mu decided not to let Bai Bai Yuxian go into seclusion for now, and wait until the sect overcomes this spirit beast turmoil before letting her go into seclusion to try to condense the Nascent Soul.

"Senior Uncle Li, rest assured, I understand your intention. At this time of spirit beast turmoil, compared with the safety of the sect, what does it matter if I go into seclusion to break through to Nascent Soul a little earlier or a little later.

Back then, Sect Master Senior Brother sacrificed his personal path for the sake of the overall situation. Now that I am the Sect Master, I should also know the importance of this matter."

Hearing the understanding in Bai Bai Yuxian's words, Li Mu said with gratification:

"Mm! It is good that you can think this way. However, your safety is also a matter concerning the future of the sect. You must not be careless. After going to the front line, you must pay more attention to safety and not take risks easily."

"Many thanks to Senior Uncle Li for the reminder. Then I will set off first!" After Bai Bai Yuxian nodded with a smile, she turned and left Li Mu's cave directly. — Two days later, in the Song family's mountaintop meeting hall.

The three Jin Dan ancestors of the Song family, as well as more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Elders of the family, had gathered together and were seated in the meeting hall.

Clan Leader Song Song Qingming, who was sitting at the head, scanned the many Foundation Establishment cultivators of the family present and felt very gratified. He did not expect that in the twenty-plus years he had been away, the cultivation of these juniors in the family had actually changed so much.

When Song Song Qingming left the family back then, besides the three Jin Dan ancestors, the Song family had a total of only eight Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In the twenty-plus years he had been away from the family to travel to the "Donghuangxianzhou" cultivation world, three more juniors of the Song family had successfully established their foundation. Now, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family had grown to eleven.

It has been only a little over a hundred years since Song Song Qingming successfully formed his core and the Song family was promoted to a Jin Dan immortal clan. The development speed of the Song family can be said to have exceeded the expectations of everyone around.

The overall strength of the Song family now is not inferior to the Ma family of "Iron Immortal Castle," the number one cultivation family in Song Guo back then.

Among these eleven Foundation Establishment cultivators of the family, Song Song Yuanli has the highest cultivation. He has already cultivated to the peak of the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, just one step away from breaking through to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and is also the only late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Song family at present.

Next are Song Song Changze, Song Song Yuanhao, Song Song Yuanfang, Song Song Yuanxue, and Song Song Xuanting, whose cultivation has already reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Among them, Song Song Yuanhao and Song Song Changze have the highest cultivation, having already cultivated to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. Although Song Song Yuanfang and Song Song Yuanxue established their foundation earlier than the two above, their cultivation talent is worse than theirs, and their cultivation is now only at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. The last middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator is Song Song Xuanting, the first cultivator in the "Xuan" generation of the family to successfully establish his foundation.

Song Song Xuanting just broke through to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment not long ago. His cultivation speed is relatively fast, although not top-notch, among the more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Song family.

The remaining five, Song Song Yuanqian, Huang Leqing, Song Song Changlin, Song Song Xuanqing, and Song Chen Xuanfeng, because they have not established their foundation for long, their cultivation is currently still at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Besides these Foundation Establishment cultivators, the number of Qi Refining cultivators in the Song family has also grown quite a bit in these twenty-plus years. Now, the family already has more than four hundred Qi Refining cultivators.

Added to the peripheral loose cultivators recruited by the family at "Chiyan Market" over these many years, the overall number of cultivators in the Song family is already close to more than five hundred.

The Song family now, although not comparable to those large Jin Dan families in the cultivation world that have been operating for hundreds of years or more, is not too weak among the many Jin Dan forces around Song Guo.

Now that Huang Huang Siyuan's alchemy skills have been improved to the third-level low-grade, and relying on the relationship of the "Heavenly Pill Alliance" to stably obtain some alchemy materials, the Song family now has the ability to refine "Foundation Establishment Pills" by itself.

As long as there is a stable environment for development, and the main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pills planted in the family's spiritual herb garden slowly mature, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family will certainly continue to grow steadily in the future.

After scanning the crowd below, Song Song Qingming said calmly: "I presume you all know that the Northern Territory spirit beasts have already begun to move south. According to the intelligence provided by the sect, the spirit beast army will be at the city gates in about two or three months.

This once-in-a-century spirit beast turmoil not only concerns the billions of lives in Song Guo but also concerns the fate of our entire family.

Gathering everyone here today is also to discuss with you how the family should deal with this spirit beast turmoil next."

"Seventh Great Uncle, back then when there was only you, we were able to kill the White Lion Spirit King and guard Jin Shan Market. Now that the family has three Jin Dan ancestors sitting in town, our strength is already incomparable to a hundred years ago.

This time, if the spirit beast army dares to invade, we will certainly make them never return." As soon as Song Song Qingming finished speaking, Song Song Yuanli, who was sitting on the side, immediately spoke up to boost the morale of everyone in the hall.

"The family has cultivated us for many years, and it is time for us to show our skills. Please rest assured, ancestors, we will never fail the heavy trust of the ancestors."

"Eighteenth Brother is right. Now not only has our family strength greatly increased, but the vassal families under our command are also stronger than before. I think we don't even need the sect to come to our aid this time; our own strength is already enough to repel the spirit beast army at Jin Shan Market."

"..."

Song Song Yuanli, as one of the few Foundation Establishment Elders of the family who participated in the Great Battle of Jin Shan Market back then, his words were immediately agreed upon by everyone.

Back then, the family had only one Jin Dan cultivator, Song Song Qingming, who had just formed his core not long ago. Relying on the assistance of many cultivation families in Jiangling County, the Song family successfully blocked the thousands of spirit beast army under the White Lion Spirit King at "Jin Shan Market."

Although the two sides were also deadlocked for more than half a year in that great battle, in terms of overall strength, "Jin Shan Market" did not fall into too much of a disadvantage and was still able to fight back and forth with the spirit beast army led by the "White Lion Spirit King."

Finally, relying on the surprise troops sent by the sect, they designed to kill the "White Lion Spirit King" in one fell swoop, and they, who had won a great victory, immediately repelled this spirit beast army that besieged "Jin Shan Market."

On the surface, the family's strength now has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to back then, and Song Song Qingming's cultivation has also improved to the peak of the sixth level of Jin Dan.

If it were just facing a spirit king with average strength like the "White Lion Spirit King" as last time, there would be no need for the two family ancestors, Song Song Qingyu and Huang Huang Siyuan, to take action; Song Song Qingming alone would be enough to lead everyone to repel the invading spirit beast army.

Seeing that the many juniors of the family present were all full of confidence in this spirit beast turmoil, Song Song Qingming was still satisfied in his heart and did not directly speak to dampen everyone's confidence.

It was not until everyone had discussed for a while that Song Song Qingyu, who was sitting on the side, reminded everyone and told the many Foundation Establishment Elders of the family about the changes that had occurred near Golden Feather Mountain.

Hearing that Golden Feather Mountain had already changed masters and that this spirit beast turmoil was already different from the past, Song Song Yuanli and the others, who were still full of ease just a moment ago, suddenly had a bit more solemnity on their faces.

Seeing that the hall suddenly became quiet all at once, Song Song Qingming hurriedly got up and said: "Although this spirit beast turmoil is different from the past, Jin Shan Market is relatively remote, so it certainly will not be the position that the spirit beast army will focus on attacking.

I estimate that the spirit beasts coming to our side this time should not have much change compared to the past.

However, the pressure faced by other places may be much greater than in the past. Even if we can repel the spirit beast army at Jin Shan Market at that time, we must also be prepared to support other places at any time.

This battle may not end as easily as in the past. I hope you all will also have a little more psychological preparation and must not be negligent because of a momentary victory."

Just as Song Song Qingming comforted everyone present, Song Song Qingyu on the side took over the conversation with a serious face and reminded: "What Seventh Brother just said is all important intelligence we just obtained from the sect.

The reason for informing everyone in advance is also to let you have some psychological preparation. This matter must not be spread from here; otherwise, if it affects the morale of the upcoming great battle with the spirit beasts, we will also have to deal with it according to the clan rules. I hope you all remember this."

"Please follow the orders of the ancestors!"

Hearing Song Song Qingyu's loud reminder, the many Foundation Establishment Elders of the Song family standing below immediately responded in unison.

Next, Song Song Qingming arranged specific matters for everyone, and then ended this family meeting to deal with the spirit beasts.

After Song Song Qingming, Song Song Qingyu, and Huang Huang Siyuan left the meeting hall, they returned to the "Hui Xian Pavilion" on the mountaintop.

Just after sitting down, Song Song Qingyu suddenly asked Song Song Qingming on the side.

"Seventh Brother! Now that things at Jin Shan Market are almost ready, you have just returned not long ago. Why don't you stay at home and rest for a while? I will take them there tomorrow first.

You can rest assured. As soon as the traces of the spirit beast army are discovered on the north side of the market, I will immediately send a message to notify the family in advance."

Facing Song Song Qingyu's active request, Song Song Qingming shook his head slightly and then said to her with a smile: "Song Qingyu, I see that your cultivation has also reached a bottleneck. On this trip to the Donghuangxianzhou cultivation world, I happened to obtain a pill that can help break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Jin Dan.

You go back and prepare first, and seize the time to go into seclusion to see if you can successfully break through your cultivation.

Now there are still a few months before the spirit beast turmoil, which is almost enough for you to go into seclusion to break through your cultivation. You don't need to worry about other trivial matters of the family; I will arrange them myself."

After Song Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out a purple jade bottle that had been prepared early from his body and handed it to Song Song Qingyu.

"Seventh Brother! You want me to go into seclusion to break through now?" After taking the purple jade bottle, Song Song Qingyu opened it to take a look and asked with some doubt.

"Mm! This spirit beast turmoil is afraid that it will not end so quickly. If you can improve your strength a bit more now, it will certainly be of great help to us next.

It is not just you who will go into seclusion. I also brought back a few Foundation Establishment Pills when I returned this time. Tomorrow, after Song Yuanfang selects suitable clansmen, the family will also arrange for them to go into seclusion to establish their foundation first.

I estimate that the war at Jin Shan Market will not be very big. With us here, there will certainly be no major problems in a short time. You can go into seclusion with peace of mind. When you break through your cultivation, you will be of greater help to the war situation in the future."

Song Song Qingming had traveled in the "Donghuangxianzhou" cultivation world for these years and had also bought quite a few pills and spiritual items useful to the family. The pill he just gave to Song Song Qingyu was bought through the relationship of the "Gathering Immortal Alliance" when he was still in "Xianyuan City."

After understanding Song Song Qingming's meaning, Song Song Qingyu did not say anything more. Holding the pill in her hand, she greeted Song Song Qingming and the other, and then bid farewell to prepare for the seclusion matters.

A few days later, under Song Song Qingming's arrangement, besides Song Song Qingyu, Song Song Changze and Song Song Yuanqian, who were about to break through their cultivation among the family's Foundation Establishment cultivators, as well as three Qi Refining ninth-level cultivators selected by the family who were suitable for impacting the Foundation Establishment realm, all went into seclusion one after another to try to break through their own cultivation realm.

Song Song Qingming, together with Huang Huang Siyuan, took many cultivators of the family and went to "Jin Shan Market" to sit in town in person.

Under the urging of the Song family, many cultivators in Pingyang and Qinghe counties also began to gradually gather at the front line, "Jin Shan Market," in the north, and the atmosphere of a great battle began to shroud the entire northern part of Song Guo.

To prevent any omissions, after Song Song Qingming arrived at "Jin Shan Market," he personally took a few second-level array masters to inspect and patrol the mountain-protecting array of the market, and also arranged the two second-level high-grade arrays he brought from the sect's Merit Pavilion on the front side of the north of the market to strengthen the defensive power of the front.

Last time, under the leadership of the Song family, the cultivators of "Jin Shan Market" were the first to repel the spirit beast's attack. Facing this spirit beast turmoil, most of the cultivators in the market now also appeared full of confidence.

Just as the cultivators at "Jin Shan Market" were busy preparing for war, the spirit beast army, which had already gathered into a force of thousands of troops and horses in the north, finally arrived near the front-line battlefield after months of long-distance trekking.

On this day, a red spiritual light flew from the north and soon arrived above "Jin Shan Market." After this red light arrived here, it suddenly turned and passed through the mountain-protecting array of the market, falling directly into a hall in the center of the market. (End of chapter)
