Chapter 700: Song Linxi, Li Xuanyi Comes Out of Seclusion (Seeking monthly votes)

Like Song Xinyu, these people were also Song family cultivators born on "Funiu Mountain," as well as their relatives and descendants who remained under the mountain after joining the "Xiaoyao Sect."

"Greetings, Seventh Uncle, Clan Leader!"

After walking in and seeing Song Qingming and the others, Song Xinyu immediately led them to take the initiative to salute.

Since the ancestors of the Song family founded the clan in Qinghe County nearly four hundred years ago, the Song family has sent at least twenty clansmen to Guyang Mountain to practice in the "Xiaoyao Sect."

Although most of them are three-spiritual-root cultivators with relatively good qualifications, only two have successfully established their foundation so far. Most of the others are lingering in the Qi Refining stage without any achievements.

During this period, some people returned to the family ancestral land "Funiu Mountain" with their descendants to spend their later years because they missed the family after they were old.

Except for Song Xinyu, another Foundation Establishment cultivator standing beside him is named Song Yuanrong, a cultivator of the "Yuan" generation.

Although Song Yuanrong is also a three-spiritual-root cultivator, his cultivation talent is obviously much worse than Song Xinyu's. His successful Foundation Establishment mainly relies on the help of his master "Bai Yunhua."

Although he has been in Foundation Establishment for more than fifty years, Song Yuanrong's cultivation has only just broken through to the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment. If there is no accident, he will at most be able to cultivate to the late Foundation Establishment stage in the future, and it will be difficult to reach the step of forming a core.

Except for Song Xinyu and Song Yuanrong, Song Qingming had seen the others before, but there was a woman standing behind Song Xinyu who was a bit strange. Song Qingming saw her for the first time, so he couldn't help but put his eyes on her.

This woman has a delicate face and is not old, estimated to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. However, her cultivation is not low, and she has reached the fifth layer of Qi Refining. If there is no accident, her spiritual root qualification should be at least a three-spiritual-root or above.

Seeing Song Qingming's eyes on the person behind him, Song Xinyu hurriedly stepped forward to introduce: "Seventh Uncle, this is Linxi. She is also a descendant of our Song family. Her ancestors were 'Gu' generation ancestors who joined the sect.

A few years ago, after Linxi succeeded in ascending to immortality, her elders under the mountain found me, and I learned about this. Now Linxi has been apprenticed to me.

This child has dual-spiritual-root qualifications, which is even stronger than mine. In the future, her Dao path might be able to go further than mine."

"Oh! It turned out to be a dual-spiritual-root cultivator. It's a pity that she wasn't born on Funiu Mountain; otherwise, I would definitely have taken her by my side to teach her personally. In the future, the family might be able to have another Jin Dan cultivator."

Hearing that the Song Linxi before her was actually a dual-spiritual-root cultivator, Song Qingyu, who was sitting on the side, was also attracted and put her eyes on the shy girl.

"If Tenth Aunt likes this child, you can also go to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to talk and bring her back to Funiu Mountain to practice. Now that the family has become a Jin Dan immortal clan, it will definitely not delay Linxi's Dao path in the future."

"Hehe! I just said it casually. Xinyu, you are willing. She is following you well now, why do you have to go to Funiu Mountain to practice?"

Song Qingming saw this and nodded: "Mm! Her family is under the mountain. It is not a bad thing to follow you to practice now. There is no need to go far to Funiu Mountain.

Wait until she establishes her foundation in the future, and then let her choose this matter herself. Whether she wants to return to the family or is willing to stay in the sect, these are her personal matters. We elders should not interfere too much now."

"Seventh Uncle's words are reasonable. It was my consideration that was not thoughtful. Let Linxi decide this matter herself in the future!"

Before, hearing that her master Song Xinyu wanted to send herself away, Song Linxi, who had just started practicing, was nervous. Until Song Xinyu nodded under the persuasion of the two ancestors in front of him and didn't mention this matter again, she slowly relaxed.

Song Linxi, after all, is not a cultivator born on "Funiu Mountain." Even if she had learned about some things about her ancestors from her master early on, she still has no attachment to the family far away thousands of miles away.

"Although this child has not yet recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan, I am indeed a bit fond of her. Since you brought her to see us, I, as an elder, will represent the family to express it first!

Coming out in a hurry, I don't have any suitable spiritual items for her. This spiritual talisman will be a meeting gift for her!" After speaking, Song Qingyu's magic power moved slightly, and she had an extra second-grade spiritual talisman, which she sent to Song Linxi's hand.

Song Qingyu practiced talisman-making skills. Although she had not successfully broken through to the third grade and was still at the second-grade top-quality level after focusing on her own cultivation all these years.

However, she was not short of second-grade spiritual talismans in her hands, especially when she was stationed in "Jin Shan Workshop" during the demon beast turmoil in the past two years. Because there were too many demon beast materials stored in the workshop, Song Qingyu also made many second-grade spiritual talismans using these materials when she was idle.

"Thank you, Ancestor, for the treasure!"

Seeing the second-grade spiritual talisman in her hand, Song Linxi, who was still shy, was also surprised by this sudden spiritual item. After being stunned for a while, she hurriedly saluted Song Qingyu, who was sitting in front, with joy.

A second-grade low-quality spiritual talisman is worth no less than two hundred spirit stones. Although Song Linxi's cultivation is too low to use it now, second-grade spiritual talismans have always been relatively rare items in the market. Whether it is exchanged with other senior brothers in the sect or taken to the workshop under the mountain, it can immediately be exchanged for anything she needs now.

After practicing for so long, Song Linxi naturally knows the importance of spirit stones to cultivators. At this moment, looking at the somewhat strange ancestor in front of her, there was a bit more envy in her eyes. I don't know when she will be as rich as her.

"I also have some elixirs that you can use, so I will reward them to you together!"

Just after Song Qingyu finished sending the spiritual talisman, Huang Siyuan, who was sitting on the side, also took out a white porcelain bottle containing elixirs from her body with a wave of her hand and sent it to Song Linxi.

Since Huang Siyuan formed a core, she has been an outer sect elder of the "Tian Dan Alliance" and has become an honorary elder of the "Xiaoyao Sect." Except for cultivation, most of her time is basically spent refining elixirs. Now what she is least short of is all kinds of elixirs.

Seeing the white porcelain bottle in front of her, Song Linxi was surprised again, and hurriedly stepped forward to thank Huang Siyuan again! Seeing that Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu had both sent gifts, Song Qingming's face was also a bit embarrassed. He smiled and said to Song Linxi: "I don't have anything suitable to give now, so let's count it as nothing this time. I will definitely make it up to you when we meet next time."

After talking with these clansmen for a while, Song Qingming let everyone leave and kept Song Xinyu alone.

After the others withdrew from the room, Song Xinyu did not hide it and immediately stated the main purpose of his visit to see Song Qingming today.

Before the demon beast turmoil ended, the "Xiaoyao Sect" had already begun to process the many demon beast materials obtained by the sect. Except for a part left for rewarding merits and self-use, the others were slowly transported to various places to exchange for other useful materials.

Not long ago, the "Xiaoyao Sect" Merit Hall used two precious materials from demon kings to exchange for two five-element core-forming spiritual items from the "Star Sect" in Wu State in the south.

Song Xinyu, who was preparing to impact the Jin Dan realm, heard about this in the sect and immediately began to raise sect merits everywhere, wanting to exchange for this item to go into seclusion to impact the Jin Dan realm.

Although Song Xinyu had also made many contributions following Song Qingming on the front-line battlefield before, his master had long since passed away. Compared with other disciples in the sect who still had teachers as support, his foundation was still a bit worse. Half a month passed, and he had only raised more than half of the merits needed to exchange for core-forming spiritual items, which was still a bit far from what the sect's Merit Hall needed.

Even if Song Qingming and the others didn't happen to come to Guyang Mountain, he was ready to write to "Funiu Mountain" to ask the family for help.

Regarding Song Xinyu's request, Song Qingming didn't say much and immediately agreed, personally taking Song Xinyu to the sect's Merit Hall and making up the merits needed for exchanging core-forming spiritual items in person.

Song Qingming, an honorary elder of the sect, came forward, and the Merit Hall did not make things too difficult for Song Xinyu and gave him the core-forming spiritual item on the spot.

After getting the core-forming spiritual item he had been thinking about these days, Song Xinyu was also very moved. As soon as he walked out of the Merit Hall, he immediately bowed to Song Qingming, the elder, to thank him! Regarding this, Song Qingming nodded with a smile, and then took out a bag of spirit stones from his body and handed it to him.

"Xinyu, I heard from Senior Brother Chu before that the sect's Alchemy Pavilion is preparing to refine a furnace of 'Du Yuchen Elixir.' You take these spirit stones first. When the Merit Hall has elixirs, you can come and exchange for one.

Core-forming is a major matter, so don't be reckless. You must be well-prepared before going into seclusion. I cannot stay in the sect all the time. If there is anything you need me to come forward, remember to send a letter to the family."

Song Xinyu has been in the "Xiaoyao Sect" all these years. Compared with other clansmen of the "Xin" generation whose Dao path is bumpy, Song Xinyu, who successfully established his foundation early, has indeed obtained many resources and benefits from the sect.

As a sect cultivator, he must consider more for the sect. Even if Song Xinyu is a clansman of "Funiu Mountain" whom Song Qingming watched grow up, after joining the "Xiaoyao Sect," the importance of the family in his heart will definitely decrease slowly.

Therefore, for Song Xinyu's core-forming, even if Song Qingming has more ability, he will not spare no effort like he supported Song Qingyu back then. Being able to do these is the limit of his elder. As for whether Song Xinyu can successfully form a core, it still depends on his own fortune in the future.

Regarding this situation, Song Xinyu naturally knew it well. As a family elder, Song Qingming was willing to help him make up the merits this time, which was already beyond his expectation. Song Xinyu did not dare to ask for too much.

After all, the Song family is now a big family, and there are hundreds of family cultivators on "Funiu Mountain." With so many clansmen needing cultivation, Song Qingming, as the clan leader, cannot tilt a large amount of resources to one person.

"Seventh Uncle, these spirit stones are unnecessary. I already have plans for the Du Yuchen Elixir, and there will be no problems."

"I give it to you, so you take it. Why are you being mother-in-law again? This is my personal intention and has nothing to do with the family. You don't have to think too much, just prepare to form a core with peace of mind."

Hearing Song Xinyu refuse and not wanting to accept the spirit stones in his hand, Song Qingming ignored his words and forcibly stuffed the spirit stone bag into Song Xinyu's hand. After seeing Song Xinyu put away the spirit stones, Song Qingming gave him a few more instructions on some matters that need attention when going into seclusion to form a core, and then stepped on the escape light and left with the wind.

Looking at Song Qingming's back as he went away, Song Xinyu seemed to remember the scene when he first came to Guyang Mountain and the uncle and nephew parted.

In a flash of more than a hundred years, Seventh Uncle seems to have no change, still the young appearance of that year, and he has already changed from a teenager to a somewhat old middle-aged cultivator.

After seeing Song Qingming's figure disappear, Song Xinyu, who was still standing in place, sighed helplessly at the corner of his mouth, and then stepped on the flying sword and left the place.

Staying on Guyang Mountain for several consecutive days, until the funeral of True Person Guangling ended, the three of Song Qingming set off to return to "Funiu Mountain."

During the period, in addition to visiting several friends, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu also took the opportunity to go to the tombstone of Third Brother Song Qingze to worship this brother who died outside.

Although Third Brother Song Qingze did not marry or have children in his life, his nephew Song Xinyu has been coming to visit him every year, so his grave is still clean and tidy, unlike some grave owners around who have no descendants and are already overgrown with weeds.

Song Qingming and the three took the "Phantom Boat" back to the family. Just as they approached "Funiu Mountain," they suddenly found a large piece of five-colored auspicious clouds gathered in a position on the top of the mountain.

Seeing the special scene before them, Song Qingming and the others, who did not know what happened, hurriedly came to the position directly below the auspicious clouds and found that the position that triggered this heaven and earth vision was just near the seclusion cave dwelling of Li Xuanyi.

"It looks like Senior Sister Li has broken through her cultivation!" Seeing this situation, Huang Siyuan on the side said her guess with a smile.

Li Xuanyi has been in seclusion for almost a year. If she breaks through smoothly, she should be breaking through her cultivation. Hearing Huang Siyuan's words, Song Qingming, who also had this idea in his heart, immediately nodded.

"Senior Sister Li has excellent talents. This time she has been in seclusion for so long, she should have gained a lot. It seems that this heaven and earth vision has just been triggered, and it will take some time to break through successfully.

You go back to rest first. I will watch over Senior Sister here, so as not to let clansmen under the mountain who don't know the situation break into this place by mistake and affect her."

Although Song Qingming set rules in the clan very early, except for a few family elders like Song Yuanfang, other clansmen are not allowed to approach the top of the mountain at ordinary times to disturb their practice.

However, the place where Li Xuanyi is in seclusion is still some distance from their cave dwellings. Occasionally, some young clansmen who don't know the situation and are curious will accidentally break into the vicinity.

Therefore, at this critical moment of Li Xuanyi's breakthrough, Song Qingming was also a bit uneasy in his heart, so he took the initiative to stay and protect her.

"Alright! Then when Senior Sister Li comes out of seclusion, Seventh Brother, you must send a letter to me immediately, and we will celebrate for her."

Seeing that Song Qingming wanted to take the initiative to stay and protect Li Xuanyi, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan didn't say much, responded, and returned to their cave dwellings together.

After the two women left, Song Qingming sat on the blue stone that was slightly clean in front of Li Xuanyi's cave dwelling, closed his eyes, and began to patiently absorb the trace of relatively pure heaven and earth spiritual energy floating in the air around him.

Since obtaining that somewhat strange cultivation technique in the "Tongtian Tower" back then, Song Qingming has not stopped practicing the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" all these years.

It's just that the difficulty of practicing this cultivation technique created by the upper-realm ascending cultivator is indeed too high. To this day, it has been almost sixty years, and Song Qingming has only practiced it to the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage. Compared with other cultivation techniques he has practiced, the speed is simply unsatisfactory.

This is still because Song Qingming possesses a special spiritual item like the remnant map, which helps to speed up at least half of the cultivation speed. Otherwise, his "Tongtian Wanling Jue" at this moment might not have broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

In the past few years, Song Qingming has been traveling everywhere in the "Donghuang State cultivation world," which also delayed some personal cultivation time. After returning, he encountered the demon beast turmoil and was even more focused on personal cultivation.

Until now, after the demon beast turmoil ended, Song Qingming slowly let go of many affairs in the clan and began to focus on his own cultivation.

When returning from the "Donghuang State cultivation world," Song Qingming's cultivation was already close to the peak of the sixth layer of Jin Dan. At this time, he had also reached the moment when he could go into seclusion to break through his cultivation.

Therefore, Song Qingming has also begun to polish his own cultivation recently, using the cultivation of the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" cultivation technique to slowly refine the heaven and earth spiritual energy he absorbed in his body.

Although the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" has very harsh requirements for practitioners, the benefits brought to cultivators by practicing this cultivation technique are also obvious.

Since practicing this set of cultivation techniques, Song Qingming has also felt the help that the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" has given him several times when breaking through his cultivation.

Precisely because of this, even though the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" is so difficult to practice, Song Qingming has always persisted for decades and has not neglected to practice this cultivation technique without reason.

Sunrise and sunset, after the sun and moon alternated for three rounds above his head, a wave of spiritual energy finally came out of Li Xuanyi's cave dwelling.

Song Qingming, whose spiritual sense had already sensed the movement in front, just opened his eyes and saw Li Xuanyi's figure appear in front of him.

"Congratulations to Senior Sister for breaking through your cultivation!"

Seeing Li Xuanyi, whose momentum was different from before, Song Qingming hurriedly stood up and congratulated the other party with a smile.

Li Xuanyi saw this and also revealed a smile, bowed to Song Qingming and thanked him: "This time, thanks to Junior Brother for comprehending the cultivation technique for me, I was able to break through my cultivation so smoothly.

Junior Brother helped me such a big favor, I have to thank you well. It's just that I don't have any good things that Junior Brother can look at now. Let's thank you when there is an opportunity in the future!"

"Hehe! Senior Sister Li is polite. Senior Sister has a life-saving grace to me. This matter is just repaying your kindness. I really dare not take credit. I hope Senior Sister will not mention this matter again in the future."

Regarding Song Qingming's politeness, Li Xuanyi suddenly shook her head firmly: "This won't work. You saved me once in Qingzhou before. The matter last time is considered a tie, and you don't need to mention it again.

This time I said it in advance that I would thank you if the cultivation technique was effective. How can I go back on my word? If Junior Brother says it again, it's looking down on me, this senior sister."

Facing Li Xuanyi's persistence, Song Qingming, who knew some of his senior sister's personality, didn't say much and hurriedly changed the subject: "Qingyu said that after Senior Sister comes out of seclusion, she wants to celebrate for you. Let's go to the Huixian Pavilion to sit first. I will let Siyuan make a few more good dishes for Senior Sister later, how about it?"

Hearing that she could taste the delicious spiritual food made by Huang Siyuan, Li Xuanyi didn't think much and immediately nodded in agreement. Soon, she walked toward the "Huixian Pavilion" where Song Qingming was located.

The two chatted in the pavilion for only two sentences, and Song Qingyu, who received the news, rushed here in a hurry and congratulated Li Xuanyi again.

This time Li Xuanyi came out of seclusion, and the few people happened to have nothing to do and gathered together. Their hearts were very happy, sweeping away the haze of always sending off friends and relatives recently.

Huang Siyuan, who came a step late, also played her specialty cooking skills and made many delicious spiritual foods for them, which also satisfied Song Qingming and the three of them.

After three rounds of drinking, seeing Li Xuanyi's face very happy, Song Qingming took the opportunity to test and ask: "Senior Sister has now broken through her cultivation. Are you planning to return to Donghuang State next?"

"Hmph! Junior Brother Song is really good at talking. I just came out of seclusion. Listening to your meaning, you don't want to drive me back, do you?"

"This... Senior Sister misunderstood. I don't mean that. I just want to ask what plans you have next so that I can help arrange it." Hearing that Li Xuanyi's tone was a bit wrong, Song Qingming hurriedly explained with embarrassment.

Song Qingyu on the side saw this and hurriedly helped explain: "Hehe! Senior Sister, you are a distinguished guest of our Funiu Mountain. How dare Seventh Brother have this meaning? Senior Sister Li must have misunderstood.

Didn't Senior Sister Li say last time that she wanted to go to the East Sea to walk around? Now that the demon beast turmoil has ended, I also want to travel outside. I don't know if Senior Sister Li is interested in traveling with me."

"Mm! Qingyu is right. I didn't go to the East Sea long before I encountered some trouble last time, and I wasn't in the mood to travel well. This time I must fulfill this wish." Hearing Song Qingyu's invitation, Li Xuanyi immediately nodded in agreement.

Huang Siyuan on the side heard this and followed up: "I also need to go to the East Sea to hand in some tasks, so I can travel with you. It will be convenient to take care of each other on the way.

Husband, didn't you say a few days ago that you were short of elixirs after breaking through your cultivation? Do you want to go to Tian Dan City with us to see if you can find the elixirs you need?"

"Mm! That's fine. There are still a large batch of demon beast materials in the family Hidden Gold Pavilion that need to be processed, so I will go to the East Sea with you! However, after I go to the East Sea, I still have some other things to do, so I won't accompany you to travel together." (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 701 =====
