Chapter 713

If one day, he can also try to break through to the Nascent Soul realm like Feng He, this array can also help him withstand the Nascent Soul lightning tribulation at that time.

Song Song Qingming spent so much effort to repair the "Heavenly Gang Five Elements Array," and naturally had some plans in this regard in his heart.

Spring went and autumn came. After Song Song Qingming went into seclusion, three years passed quickly.

On this day, a sword light flew from the northeast of Qinghe County and landed at the foot of "Mount Mount Funiu."

The three Song family law enforcement team cultivators who were guarding the mountain gate saw the person coming at the foot of the mountain, and all of them showed smiles and took the initiative to open the mountain gate array to welcome him out.

"Ninth Uncle, you are back!"

Song Song Changze, who had just rushed back from "Chiyan Market," glanced at the three people who came to his side and asked softly: "It's your turn to guard the mountain gate today.

Is Sixteenth Uncle on the mountain these few days, and has the ancestor come out of seclusion?"

"Reporting to Ninth Uncle, the ancestor has not come out of seclusion. The Great Elder has been here recently and should be in the council hall now!" Hearing Song Song Changze's question, the leading "Xuan" generation cultivator hurriedly replied quickly.

After hearing the reply he needed, Song Song Changze nodded slightly without saying anything more, walked quickly up the mountain, and soon disappeared from the eyes of the three.

"In just a few months, Ninth Uncle's cultivation has improved quite a bit. I'm afraid he will soon break through to the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment. I really envy him for successfully forming his Foundation Establishment early, and now he is not far from forming a Jin Dan.

In the future, maybe Ninth Uncle will also form a Jin Dan like the few ancestors on the mountain and become the fourth Jin Dan ancestor of the family."

A younger "Lin" generation cultivator standing on the spot looked at the direction where Song Song Changze disappeared with glowing eyes and could not help but say with envy.

As soon as his voice fell, another cultivator of the same generation standing on the side shook his head and said:

"Humph! I don't think so. Although Ninth Uncle's cultivation is higher now, Song Yuanhao Uncle Ancestor's cultivation speed is not slow, and there is also Song Yuanli Uncle Ancestor. I heard that his injuries are almost recovered.

Both of them are earth spiritual root talents, and the certainty of forming a Jin Dan will inevitably be higher than Ninth Uncle's. They have more hope of becoming the family's fourth Jin Dan ancestor."

"Forming a Jin Dan is not just about the difference in spiritual roots. Your vision is a bit shallow. I think Ninth Uncle can cultivate to the late stage of Foundation Establishment so quickly, and he must be no worse than the two Uncle Ancestors."

"Although that is the case, but..."

"Alright! Family elders are not something you juniors can discuss recklessly. What are you still standing there in a daze for? Cultivate well, and you will eventually have the opportunity to form Foundation Establishment and Jin Dan. What is there to envy others for!"

Seeing the two juniors behind him talking more and more vigorously, the "Xuan" generation cultivator who was at the late stage of Qi Condensation hurriedly turned around to reprimand the two and took them back to their posts.

After Song Song Changze went up the mountain, he went straight to the family "Council Hall" and soon found Song Song Yuanfang, who was teaching several family juniors.

"Sixteenth Uncle is well!"

"Eh! Song Changze, why did you come back early? I didn't see any letters from the market. Could it be that someone in the law enforcement team is lazy again!"

Seeing Song Song Changze in front of him, Song Song Yuanfang was also a bit surprised and hurriedly let the several juniors standing in front of him go out first.

Song Song Changze heard this and hurriedly waved his hand: "I forgot to say it in advance this time, Sixteenth Uncle, don't blame me.

I came back this time also on a temporary decision. There are some things that are not easy to inform by letter, so I have to talk to you face to face. I was in a hurry, so I just came back first.

There are Xuan Ting and Junior Sister Liu Yuxin in the market, don't worry, there will be nothing wrong."

"Oh! What is the matter that you are in such a hurry to find me? Xuanfu, you two go out first, and don't let anyone in without my words."

Seeing that Song Song Changze seemed to have something important to inform him, Song Song Yuanfang hurriedly let the two family cultivators who assisted him in handling family affairs guard the door to prevent anyone from overhearing their next conversation.

After finding a chair and sitting down, seeing that there was no one else in the "Council Hall," Song Song Changze said seriously: "Sixteenth Uncle, a month ago, Junior Sister Liu Yuxin and I led people to kill those two fierce wind tigers and took down the Double Peak Mountain spiritual vein. I have already sent a letter back about this matter, you should know, right!"

"Hmm! I know about this matter. Didn't I also ask you to send someone to occupy this mountain immediately?" Song Song Yuanfang nodded calmly, waiting for Song Song Changze's next words.

"A few days ago, I asked Song Xuande and the others to go to the mountain over there to search for spiritual items. As a result, he came back and told me that there might be a spirit stone mine in that Double Peak Mountain."

"Double Peak Mountain discovered a spirit stone mine! Are you telling the truth? Has Song Xuande confirmed this matter?"

Hearing that Song Song Changze and the others might have found a spirit stone mine, Song Song Yuanfang's originally calm face changed instantly, and he hurriedly got up and asked for confirmation.

In the cultivation world, the spirit stones used by cultivators are also mined from underground spiritual veins like ordinary ores. However, "spirit stone mines" are very rare in the cultivation world and are basically controlled by those large sects. They are also an important source of spirit stones for them.

Within the State of Wei, there are about seven or eight "spirit stone mines" that have not yet been exhausted, all of which are controlled by the "Xiaoyao Sect" without exception.

Under the protection of the "Xiaoyao Sect," ordinary Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivation families, even if they discover spirit stone mines, they dare not mine them at will, and can only take the initiative to offer them to the sect like the Lu family hundreds of years ago in exchange for some sect contributions.

Otherwise, if someone dares to mine privately without the "Xiaoyao Sect," once the matter is exposed and the sect is angered, what awaits them will inevitably be the end of the clan's extermination.

Hearing the news that Double Peak Mountain might have discovered a "spirit stone mine," Song Song Yuanfang immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, hurriedly walked to Song Song Changze's side, and waved his hand to carefully set up a sound insulation barrier.

Song Song Changze saw this and immediately shook his head: "I also received the news this morning and hurriedly rushed back to see you. It is not yet certain whether this matter is true or false, but I heard Song Xuande say that the possibility of a spirit stone mine is very high.

You also know that I only have this one spirit explorer there, and others don't understand these things, so I can only listen to him first.

There are still many casual cultivators in the market law enforcement team now. Double Peak Mountain is crowded with people, and I dare not let them dig the mine casually. If the news leaks out, I won't be able to explain this matter to the family later."

"Song Changze, besides the two of you, does anyone else know about this?"

Seeing Song Song Yuanfang looking at him seriously, Song Song Changze hesitated for a moment before replying: "Song Xuande only told me about this matter, others should not know.

However, Junior Sister Liu Yuxin has been stationed at Double Peak Mountain these days. She knows that Song Xuande came back to find me. I guess she might have guessed something."

"Just took down the spiritual vein, why did you leave her there and run back to the market yourself? I don't know when your temperament will change.

Alright! Since things have come to this, you hurry back and watch it first. I will go to the mountain top to discuss this matter with the ancestor.

You must remember, before we go over, keep an eye on everyone who has been to Double Peak Mountain, including Liu Liu Yuxin, who is not allowed to leave there at will."

Hearing that Liu Liu Yuxin might already know about this matter, Song Song Yuanfang, who had already guessed what was going on, reprimanded Song Song Changze and shook his head helplessly, hurriedly sending him back.

After seeing Song Song Changze off, Song Song Yuanfang hurriedly walked to the mountain top and sent a sound transmission talisman to Song Song Qingming's cave, who was in seclusion.

Before long, the array at the entrance suddenly fluctuated, and then a voice came. Hearing this, Song Song Yuanfang hurriedly walked in quickly.

Song Song Qingming, who was sitting in the cave fiddling with a flag in his hand, saw Song Song Yuanfang walk in and immediately turned around and asked: "What is the matter for finding me today? Could it be that Song Xuanling's Foundation Establishment has gone wrong again?"

Song Song Yuanfang stepped forward to bow and salute, then shook his head gently and replied: "Song Xuanling's Foundation Establishment has not come out of seclusion yet. Seventh Uncle, don't worry, his foundation is better than Chen Xuanxin's. I estimate that he should be able to succeed this time.

Today I came to disturb Seventh Uncle's cultivation because there is a major family event. I cannot make a decision on my own, so I came to ask Seventh Uncle."

Hearing Song Song Yuanfang tell the story of discovering the "spirit stone mine" just now, Song Song Qingming also slowly put down the flag in his hand, and his face began to become a bit serious.

"You mean, Song Changze and the others might have discovered a spirit stone mine in Mount Mount Mount Yunwu?"

"Reporting to Seventh Uncle, it is not yet confirmed whether it is a spirit stone mine. I have already let Song Changze go back first, and I am preparing to take people to Double Peak Mountain again in a while to confirm whether this matter is true or false."

Song Song Qingming thought for a moment with a calm face and nodded slightly in agreement with Song Song Yuanfang's idea.

"Hmm! Then you go first. If this matter is true, send a message back to me immediately. As for Liu Liu Yuxin, regardless of whether she knows about this matter or not, don't make things difficult for her. Wait for me to handle it."

"Seventh Uncle, don't worry! I have noted it down."

After Song Song Yuanfang nodded and agreed to this matter, he walked out of Song Song Qingming's cave and soon took the remaining few "spirit explorers" of the family and left "Mount Mount Funiu."

An hour later, the flying boat controlled by Song Song Yuanfang arrived at a high mountain with two peaks standing. Just after landing on the mountain top, Song Song Changze, who had arrived first, immediately brought people to greet him. Under Song Song Changze's leadership, Song Song Yuanfang and the others soon arrived at a valley at the intersection of the two peaks and met with a middle-aged man holding a red gold compass in his hand, who was about thirty years old.

"Song Xuande, how is it? Can you confirm that it is a spirit stone mine below?" Upon meeting, Song Song Yuanfang, who was a bit anxious in his heart, immediately asked.

Song Song Xuande heard this and immediately bowed: "Reporting to Sixteenth Uncle Ancestor, I have already carefully explored the vicinity. The mine vein is under our feet. The spiritual energy here is far richer than the mountain top, and there is a high probability that it is a spirit stone mine."

"Hmm! What Song Xuande said is not bad. The spiritual energy on the mountain top is only second-tier mid-grade, and here it is already close to second-tier top-grade. There must be another spiritual vein separated from it.

This situation where two spiritual veins exist on one mountain is indeed very likely to be a spirit stone mine.

I didn't expect that I, an old man, have walked through Qinghe County all my life and couldn't find a medium-sized mine for the family. In the end, I can still see a spirit stone mine. Heaven can be considered not to have treated me badly."

The speaker was an old man with white hair who came with Song Song Yuanfang, named Song Song Yuanxi. He was one of the few remaining cultivators of the "Yuan" generation in the Song family, and also the one who mastered the best spirit exploration skills currently controlled by the family.

Hearing Song Song Yuanxi say this on the side, Song Song Yuanfang's confidence suddenly increased a bit, and he hurriedly asked the few people who followed to cooperate with Song Song Xuande to start digging the mine vein below.

With the help of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators, Song Song Yuanfang and Song Song Changze, the group worked continuously for several days and finally dug through the mine vein below.

Holding a spirit stone just taken from the mine vein, and feeling the pure spiritual energy coming from his hand, the look of excitement slowly appeared on Song Song Yuanfang's face, who had been nervous for several days.

Afterwards, he immediately took out a red spiritual talisman from his person and reported this important news to the family thousands of miles away.

Before long, Song Song Qingming, the family's Jin Dan ancestor, rushed to "Double Peak Mountain" in person. Seeing that Song Song Yuanfang and the others had indeed found a "spirit stone mine," Song Song Qingming also felt a bit happy.

According to Song Song Yuanxi and the others' estimation, this "spirit stone mine" has a storage of about one million spirit stones. If the family invests the most manpower to mine it, it can mine about three thousand spirit stones a year, and it will take at least three or four hundred years to mine all the spirit stones in the mine vein.

However, the ores in the "spirit stone mine" are relatively mild and have no great harm to mortals, so mortals can be directly used to enter the mining area to mine. The cost of mining the mine vein is relatively much lower.

With an income of three thousand spirit stones a year, after deducting the cost required for mining, the family can also harvest at least more than two thousand five hundred spirit stones.

As long as this "spirit stone mine" is successfully mined, the benefits it will bring to the Song family in the future will exceed the "Yin Fire Stone" mine that Song Song Qingming and the others discovered back then.

The "Yinfeng Ridge" mine, although it can produce ores worth more than four thousand spirit stones a year, is a mine that the Song family cooperates with the "Xiaoyao Sect" to develop. After deducting the cost required for mining each year, the spirit stones the Song family can actually share are only more than one thousand.

When the "Yinfeng Ridge" mine was discovered back then, because the Song family had insufficient family cultivators and could not mine the mine vein alone, they had to helplessly choose to cooperate with the sect.

The "spirit stone mine" discovered this time has a lower mining difficulty. The Song family now has nearly five hundred cultivators and a large number of family mortals, and already has enough ability to mine the mine vein alone.

Song Song Qingming just thought for a moment and immediately decided to mine the "Double Peak Mountain" spirit stone mine alone and no longer seek cooperation with the sect.

This mine vein was discovered in the Mount Mount Mount Yunwu hundreds of miles east of "Chiyan Market." Although this place was not originally the Song family's territory, it was not in the sect's jurisdiction either. According to the rules set by the sect, the Song family does not need to report this matter to the "Xiaoyao Sect."

After the Song family advanced to become a Jin Dan family, Qinghe County developed steadily for more than a hundred years, and the strength of major cultivation families has been improved quite a bit.

Especially after "Chiyan Market" was established, many foreign casual cultivators and small cultivation families came to the vicinity of the market to find spiritual mountains and settle down, which also caused the number of cultivators in Qinghe County to surge all of a sudden.

The spiritual veins in Qinghe County were basically occupied by major cultivation families. In order to accommodate these casual cultivators who came to Qinghe County, the Song family has also been thinking of ways to expand new family territories over the years.

The "Xiaoyao Sect" has occupied the State of Wei for thousands of years and has always been very supportive of the cultivation families under its command expanding their territories outward. Sometimes, it even takes the initiative to help them deal with those powerful beasts.

It was precisely because they received the family's task of expanding to the "Mount Mount Mount Yunwu" in the east that Song Song Changze and the others suddenly sent troops to the depths of Mount Mount Mount Yunwu and took down the second-tier mid-grade spiritual vein of "Double Peak Mountain."

Now the beasts near "Double Peak Mountain" have basically been cleared by the Song family. As long as they develop steadily for a few decades, this place can be connected with "Chiyan Market" and become the Song family's new family territory.

According to Song Song Qingming's idea, once "Chiyan Market" develops, it will sooner or later catch up with Qinghe and Pingyang counties.

After confirming the storage of the "spirit stone mine" in front of him, Song Song Qingming immediately asked Song Song Yuanfang to return to the family, dispatch family cultivators to take over "Double Peak Mountain," and replace all the law enforcement team cultivators of "Chiyan Market" who were originally left here.

This "spirit stone mine" is very important to the family. The Song family must strictly control this place in the future, so as not to leak the news and cause any changes that would attract the covetousness of other cultivators.

After arranging for Song Song Yuanfang to return to the family, Song Song Qingming came to the top of "Double Peak Mountain" again and summoned Song Song Changze and Liu Liu Yuxin alone.

Liu Liu Yuxin returned to Qinghe County from the East Sea cultivation world more than fifty years ago. Her cultivation has also been cultivated from the second layer of Foundation Establishment to the peak of the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment, only one step away from entering the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Although her master, He He Mengxin, occasionally came back to send her some spirit stones, Liu Liu Yuxin stayed in Qinghe County alone to cultivate and also had to take care of the Liu family of "Mount Jingyuan Mountain," which had just been established not long ago. It was indeed not easy for her to cultivate to her current realm.

Seeing Song Song Qingming rush to "Double Peak Mountain" in person, Liu Liu Yuxin, who had long guessed a few points about what the Song family had discovered on the mountain, did not look too surprised, and hurriedly took the initiative to step forward and bow to him.

"Liu Yuxin pays respects to Senior Song!"

After scanning Liu Liu Yuxin with his spiritual sense, Song Song Qingming nodded to her and said with a smile: "Back then, I promised Fellow Daoist He to take care of you. However, you haven't come to Mount Mount Funiu to find us all these years, which has made me never have the opportunity to fulfill the promise I made to your master.

Seeing that your current cultivation is also about to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, this Barrier-Breaking Pill happens to be useful to you. Consider it the care I have given you over the years. I hope you will cultivate well and break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment early."

After speaking, the spiritual light in Song Song Qingming's hand moved, and a cyan jade box immediately appeared, which he sent to Liu Liu Yuxin's hand with a kind expression.

"Liu Yuxin has opened several small shops in Chiyan Market over the years, and has actually received quite a bit of care from Mount Mount Funiu. It cannot be considered that the Senior has broken his promise to my master. There is no need to spend more money to send me elixirs."

Seeing the "Barrier-Breaking Pill" given to her by Song Song Qingming, the expression on Liu Liu Yuxin's face did not look very excited, but instead appeared very calm and pushed back.

Song Song Changze, who was standing on the side, saw this scene, and his face suddenly became nervous. He wanted to step forward to persuade Liu Liu Yuxin, but because of Song Song Qingming standing on the side, he thought about it and didn't dare to speak, only able to desperately wink at her.

However, Liu Liu Yuxin here seemed not to have seen it, did not pay attention to Song Song Changze, and her gaze had always been on Song Song Qingming in front of her.

"Hmm! I have also heard about your affairs in Chiyan Market over the years from Song Yuanfang and the others. Being able to manage the shop business so well alone and helping us manage the market by giving many ideas, you are indeed stronger than those few of them.

I am a close friend of your master, and you also called me Senior. Since you have been in Qinghe County for so many years, I, this elder, should always express something. You don't have to push back this elixir."

"Liu Yuxin thanks Senior for the treasure!"

Seeing Song Song Qingming say so, Liu Liu Yuxin did not continue to push back, carefully took the jade box floating in front of her, and placed her gaze on the exquisite jade box in her hand, but did not rush to open it.

Song Song Changze on the side saw this, and his face was immediately happy, and he was also very happy for her in his heart.

Seeing that Liu Liu Yuxin's personality was indeed much steadier than when she first returned to Qinghe County decades ago, Song Song Qingming nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to say: "Today I asked you to come here, there is another thing, I want to ask about your thoughts."

"What is the matter for Senior, please speak directly." Hearing Song Song Qingming's question, Liu Liu Yuxin hurriedly raised her head and replied.

Song Song Qingming paused slightly, his face slowly becoming a bit serious, and asked Liu Liu Yuxin directly: "Now that Mount Jingyuan Mountain has stabilized, you don't have to worry about anything anymore.

You and Song Changze are not young anymore. I want to ask if you are willing to become Taoist companions with him and support each other in cultivation in the future.

Your master discussed this matter with me back then. If you are willing, I can directly make the decision to hold a dual cultivation ceremony for you on Mount Mount Funiu. Our Song family is also a Jin Dan immortal family and will definitely not treat you badly.

If you are not willing, it doesn't matter. I happen to be going to the East Sea cultivation world in a while, and I can send you back together by the way.

Your cultivation is not too far from forming a Jin Dan. Staying in Qinghe County here will likely delay your path. Returning to the East Sea to have your master take care of you, we can also be at ease."

"Seventh Uncle Ancestor, you don't have to worry about me and Liu Yuxin, we..."

"You shut up first, I didn't ask you!"

Hearing Song Song Qingming put the matter between him and Liu Liu Yuxin on the table, Song Song Changze, who was standing on the side, was immediately embarrassed.

Just as he stepped forward to try to relieve Liu Liu Yuxin, he did not expect that the Seventh Uncle Ancestor, who had always been very kind, suddenly reprimanded him, making Song Song Changze hold back the remaining words in his mouth.

Seeing the Seventh Uncle Ancestor's face suddenly become very serious, Song Song Changze felt anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak again, only able to retreat with a look of helplessness towards Liu Liu Yuxin beside him. (End of chapter)
