Chapter 714: Liu Yuxin's Choice, Cultivation Bears Fruit (Please Subscribe)

~21 min read 4,147 words

Back then, when Liu Yuxin returned from the East Sea cultivation world, she lived on the Song family's "Mount Funiu" at first, and had been in relatively frequent contact with Song Changze, who was of the same age and had similar cultivation.

The relationship between the two also slowly became familiar from not looking at each other pleasingly at first, and they became fellow apprentices who talked about everything under the unintentional matchmaking of Song Qingyu.

Later, after Liu Yuxin came to "Chiyan Workshop" to open a few small shops, Song Changze also took the initiative to apply to the family to come to the workshop to guard, and the two were inseparable, often going out to play together.

Not to mention the Song family, even those merchants and loose cultivators in "Chiyan Workshop" could see that they were already in a relationship of mutual affection.

It was just that although Song Changze had been practicing for many years, he was not decisive enough in his feelings and never dared to take the initiative to confess his heart to Liu Yuxin, so the relationship between the two had not been able to go further.

Song Qingming, as an elder, originally didn't want to interfere too much in the emotional problems of the family juniors, but now that Liu Yuxin already knew the secret of "Twin Peaks Mountain," he felt somewhat uneasy.

Of course, Song Qingming is not a person who likes to force others in terms of feelings, so he gave Liu Yuxin two choices directly.

If Liu Yuxin is willing to become Dao companions with Song Changze, that would naturally be the best. In this way, she is officially married into the Song family and is considered one of their own, so the family can naturally rest assured about her.

If Liu Yuxin is not willing to accept Song Changze, then her continuing to stay in Qinghe County to practice will inevitably bring certain risks to the "Twin Peaks Mountain" spirit stone mineral vein, so Song Qingming can only send her back to the East Sea cultivation world first.

As long as she leaves the Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world, separated by tens of thousands of miles, even if Liu Yuxin accidentally leaks this news in the future, it will not have any impact on the Song family.

Seeing Song Qingming put the matter between the two of them so directly, Liu Yuxin was also somewhat blushing, and after being embarrassed for a long time in place, she stepped forward and bowed to Song Qingming and replied softly: "Senior Song, I have already understood your meaning. Can you give me some time to consider it again?"

"Hmm! There is no rush for this matter. I still need to prepare for half a month to go to the East Sea. Give me an accurate answer before I set off."

After Song Qingming nodded slightly, he turned to Song Changze beside him and said: "Twin Peaks Mountain is fine with Yuxin here. You return to the family with me first, I still have some things to explain to you."

After saying a serious word to Song Changze, he didn't care about his reaction and immediately took out the "Phantom Boat" from his body and flew up first.

Song Changze looked at Liu Yuxin, who had become calm beside him, and after hesitating for a while, he jumped onto the "Phantom Boat" helplessly and followed Song Qingming into a streak of light and left "Twin Peaks Mountain."

Just after the flying boat reached halfway, seeing Song Changze standing aside and looking into the distance in silence, Song Qingming sighed slightly and looked forward and said softly: "Changze, I didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the two of you, but there is no other better way now."

"Seventh Uncle Ancestor, you don't need to explain this to me. I also know your intention. This matter concerns the family, and Changze knows the importance. Rest assured, no matter what choice Yuxin Junior Sister makes, I will respect her."

After blowing the cool wind on the flying boat for a while, Song Changze was also much calmer. Although he still couldn't let go of Liu Yuxin in his heart, he also knew clearly that family interests were always higher than his personal ones.

Seeing this, Song Qingming also turned his head with satisfaction without saying anything more.

After returning to "Mount Funiu," Song Qingming immediately sent Song Changze away and ran to "Mount Tuoyun" for him to send a copy of something to Zhang Rong.

"Mount Tuoyun" had been severely damaged after the beast riot, and it had finally recovered somewhat after so many years of restoration. "Mount Tuoyun" workshop had also been restored to operation under the leadership of the Carefree Sect.

Sending a letter to Zhang Rong this time was because Zhang Rong had sent a letter to "Mount Funiu" some time ago, wanting to invite Song Qingming to attend the celebration of the successful reconstruction of the workshop together.

This reconstructed workshop, because the "Iron Immortal Fort" Zhang family had also joined in, the share occupied by the Song family was much less than before, leaving only the least one-tenth.

Song Qingming thought about it and decided not to attend, so he asked Song Changze to send a gift for him in advance to express his meaning.

For a Foundation Establishment cultivator to go to "Mount Tuoyun," it would take about half a month to go back and forth. By the time he returned, Liu Yuxin should have made her final choice.

After arranging for Song Changze, Song Qingming returned to his cave dwelling on the top of the mountain and took out a set of high-level arrays to fiddle with.

After three years of seclusion, Song Qingming had successfully refined the "Jade Heart Fruit" obtained from the Wu Kingdom, improved a lot of magic power in his body, and repaired most of the third-level high-grade "Heavenly Gang Five Elements Array" in his hand through the "alchemy jade stone" given to him by Feng He.

With a little more time, Song Qingming would be able to completely restore the power of this third-level high-grade defensive large array.

Just as Song Qingming was concentrating on pouring spiritual energy into the formation flag in his hand, trying to control the "Heavenly Gang Five Elements Array" in front of him, a fluctuation suddenly came from outside the cave dwelling.

Before long, Huang Siyuan, wearing a coarse cloth plain garment, walked into Song Qingming's cave dwelling.

Before Song Qingming went to "Twin Peaks Mountain," Huang Siyuan, who learned that he had come out of seclusion, also put down the affairs in her hand and walked out of the cave dwelling where she was refining pills.

After taking the pill refining task of Zhang Tieyang three years ago, Huang Siyuan lived up to expectations and successfully refined the pills, refining three pills at once. Not only did she successfully complete Zhang Tieyang's entrustment, but she also shared a spirit pill from his hand as a reward.

After Huang Siyuan refined this spirit pill, her magic power also increased by a large chunk. It is estimated that in another five or six years, she would be able to cultivate to perfection and attempt to break through the fourth level of Core Formation bottleneck.

Besides this, Huang Siyuan, who had successfully improved her pill refining technique to third-level middle-grade, also copied the third-level middle-grade pill formula named "Dongyuan Pill" in Zhang Tieyang's hand.

Recently, she had also been going out frequently to search for auxiliary medicinal materials for the pill formula, preparing to use a suitable monster core in Song Qingming and their hands to refine another furnace of "Dongyuan Pills."

Although this pill has a limit on taking it, a Core Formation cultivator can refine at most three pills, and it must be at least twenty years apart to exert the maximum efficacy of the pill.

However, it is a third-level middle-grade spirit pill after all. If you can't take it yourself, you can exchange it for other pills and spirit items you want by taking it to other Core Formation cultivators or "Heavenly Pill Alliance."

During these three years, Huang Siyuan did not meditate and practice in the cave dwelling like Song Qingming. Besides going out to search for medicinal herbs, she would occasionally disguise her identity as a cultivator and learn the way Song Qingming taught her back then to experience the life of ordinary mortals at the foot of the mountain.

As soon as she entered, seeing Song Qingming staring at her, Huang Siyuan, who knew that she was stained with mud from the foot of the mountain, hurriedly waved her hand to cast a spell to clean up the mud on her body.

"I just came back, I heard them say that you have already been to Twin Peaks Mountain?"

Song Qingming smiled and put away the formation flag in his hand, nodded slightly and said: "Hmm! Changze and the others didn't make a mistake. It is indeed a spirit stone mineral vein, and the reserves are not small. It is estimated that three thousand spirit stones can be mined a year."

"So many, this is really great. Don't say, Changze this child really has good fortune, why does he always encounter such good things? The Yinfeng Ridge mineral vein back then was found because of him, and this time it is related to him again.

This spirit stone mineral vein has a great impact on the family. You must reward him well this time."

Hearing Huang Siyuan's words, Song Qingming suddenly smiled and said: "The reward is definitely indispensable, but it depends on whether he has this fortune. Otherwise, even if he is given more spirit stones, he may not necessarily like it."

"Oh! How did that girl Yuxin say, did she agree to your request?" Huang Siyuan asked curiously.

"Said she wants to consider it. You also know that this girl is smart and has her own ideas. This matter is still somewhat hard to say..." Song Qingming finished speaking, shook his head slightly, and sat down at the stone table aside.

"Hehe! So it seems that you don't have much confidence in keeping her. Changze has his heart on Yuxin. If you don't handle it well, maybe he will complain about us in his heart in the future.

Let's do this, I will go to Twin Peaks Mountain to talk to her in a few days. We elders work hard to help, maybe this matter will be done." Huang Siyuan smiled at the corner of her mouth and walked towards Song Qingming.

"I have already made it clear to her. I think you don't need to go again. Whether she is willing to stay depends on herself. If they really don't have this fate, it may not necessarily be a good thing for us to force them together."

Huang Siyuan paused for a while before saying: "Although what you said is very reasonable, sometimes feelings are really hard to figure out.

I am also worried that once they miss each other, it will be very difficult to save them for a lifetime."

Hearing Huang Siyuan's words, Song Qingming was also somewhat silent, and after a while, he smiled and said to her: "Hmm! What you said is also right. It is not necessarily a bad thing to have someone to match them.

Now that girl probably hasn't fully figured it out yet, you can go in a few days!"

Just when Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were still having a headache about the affairs of Song Changze and the other, I didn't expect that Liu Yuxin came to "Mount Funiu" by herself early the next morning.

Meeting this time, in front of the two Core Formation cultivators, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, Liu Yuxin didn't have too much nonsense, directly admitted her feelings for Song Changze, and frankly said that she was willing to stay and be with him.

Seeing Liu Yuxin agree to stay, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan felt relieved, and immediately rewarded her with many spirit items as a betrothal gift, promising to hold a dual cultivation ceremony for her and Song Changze in half a year.

After Liu Yuxin agreed to marry into the Song family, Song Qingming did not let her go back to Twin Peaks Mountain and arranged for Liu Yuxin to live on "Mount Funiu" directly.

It was a pity that Song Changze didn't know the good news for the first time because he went to "Mount Tuoyun," and didn't know about it until he returned to the clan more than half a month later.

Seeing that the relationship between the two for many years had finally borne fruit, Song Qingming was also very happy and immediately arranged for people to prepare for the dual cultivation ceremony of the two in advance. Not only did he send invitations to major cultivation families around the territory, but he also specially sent a letter to He Mengxin, who was far away in the East Sea cultivation world, inviting her to come and witness the ceremony for the two juniors at that time.

For a time, Song family's "Mount Funiu" also began to get busy.

After Song Yuanfang took over the "Twin Peaks Mountain" spiritual vein, the Song family did not rush to migrate mortals to mine the "spirit stone mineral vein" immediately.

Instead, they sent many cultivators to start setting up a protective mountain array on "Twin Peaks Mountain," building houses and cave dwellings, and properly transformed the "Twin Peaks Mountain" spiritual vein.

Until everything on the mountain was ready, the Song family began to migrate family mortals from the family spirit land "Mount Funiu" in large numbers and transferred them to "Twin Peaks Mountain."

To avoid attracting attention, the Song family also migrated mortals in batches and did not make too much noise by migrating mortals on a large scale at once.

Although the Twin Peaks Mountain spirit stone mineral vein is only a few hundred miles away from "Chiyan Workshop," this place is already located in the depths of "Cloud Mist Mountain" like Yinfeng Ridge, and there are occasional second-level monsters appearing nearby.

For the safety of the "spirit stone mineral vein," Song Yuanfang not only set up a second-level high-grade protective mountain array there, but also arranged for two family Foundation Establishment elders and more than sixty Qi Refining cultivators to guard it, which can be said to be very important to this place.

Externally, the Song family claimed that a common "iron mineral vein" was discovered in Twin Peaks Mountain, directly classified it as family direct territory, and prohibited cultivators near Qinghe County and those foreign loose cultivators from approaching "Twin Peaks Mountain."

Although the Song family cannot hide this secret for a lifetime, doing these precautions is always useful. After the family strength is stronger in the future, they will not be afraid of others coveting this "spirit stone mineral vein."

The "spirit stone mineral vein" of Twin Peaks Mountain has a relatively low mining difficulty. Together with setting up the protective mountain array, Song Qingming invested less than thirty thousand spirit stones on the mountain and prepared all matters.

In less than two months, the family mortals who had settled in "Twin Peaks Mountain" had already started to collect this "spirit stone mineral vein" with the help of cultivators.

Learning the news that the Twin Peaks Mountain "spirit stone mineral vein" was already operating normally, Song Qingming also slowly let go of his heart and returned to the cave dwelling to study his "Heavenly Gang Five Elements Array" patiently.

Time passed quickly, and half a year passed.

As the dual cultivation ceremony of Song Changze and Liu Yuxin got closer and closer, "Mount Funiu" also began to get lively. Everywhere was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and the entire spirit mountain had been dressed up brightly by the cultivators on the mountain.

On this day, a streak of spiritual light suddenly flew from the east and stopped in the air outside the protective mountain array of "Mount Funiu,"

Looking at the spiritual mountain below, which was already bustling with activity, a trace of joy appeared on the blue-clothed woman's face. She took out a sound-transmission talisman and sent it into the mountain-protecting array.

Before long, a figure suddenly flew out from a cave dwelling located at the top of the mountain and arrived beside the blue-clothed woman.

"Daoist Friend Song, it has been many years, I hope you have been well!"

"Hehe! Welcome, Daoist Friend He, to be a guest at my Funiu Mountain. I haven't seen your figure for a long time, and I was worried that you might have been tied up with matters and couldn't make it." Seeing He Mengxin, who had just arrived in front of them, Song Qingming and his companion hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute.

Hearing this, He Mengxin immediately explained: "Yuxin is my direct disciple after all. At such an important moment when she and Changze are becoming Daoist companions, how could I, as her master, not be present!

It is just a coincidence that I have been in closed-door cultivation recently and failed to receive your message in time, which is why I arrived a bit late. I hope Daoist Friend Song will not blame me."

Song Qingming smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Sigh! Daoist Friend He is being too polite. Now that Changze and Yuxin have achieved a positive result, you and I are already in-laws, so don't be so distant in the future.

Not having received your news for so long, Yuxin has already been quite anxious recently. I have already sent someone to invite her. Daoist Friend, please follow me up the mountain first!"

After the two spoke a few words on the spot, under the guidance of Song Qingming, they soon passed through the mountain-protecting array and arrived at the "Hui Xian Pavilion" located at the top of the mountain.

Huang Siyuan, who had already known of He Mengxin's visit and had brewed spiritual tea waiting there, saw the two walk over and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute He Mengxin.

"It has been many years, and Daoist Friend Huang has also successfully formed your core and become one of our peers. This is truly a joyous and congratulatory event!"

Although He Mengxin had not been to "Funiu Mountain" for so many years, she had learned some things about the Song family through her disciple Liu Yuxin, so she was not very surprised that Huang Siyuan had broken through to the Core Formation realm, clearly having known about it long ago.

Since Song Qingming and the others last participated in the "Luolong Island" trading assembly in the East Sea cultivation world together with He Mengxin, the two sides had not seen each other for decades.

After so many years of diligent cultivation, their respective cultivation bases had also undergone significant changes compared to decades ago.

He Mengxin had improved from the second level of Core Formation to the fifth level, and Song Qingming's cultivation had also successfully broken through to the seventh level of Core Formation, becoming a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.

After the three sat down, they soon began to chat about some past events. Seeing the huge changes on "Funiu Mountain" along the way, He Mengxin kept praising it, and her words even held a trace of envy for the achievements of the Song family today.

Two hundred years ago, the Song family, like the Liu family, was just an inconspicuous small Qi Refining family in Qinghe County. Unexpectedly, the Song family is now a premier Core Formation immortal clan in Qinghe County and even the entire Wei Kingdom.

After the Liu family experienced the disaster of extermination back then, although they were able to take back "Jingyuan Mountain" and rebuild their cultivation family with the help of Song Qingming, they are now just a small Qi Refining family attached to the Song family, and their strength is not even as good as it was two hundred years ago.

After the three chatted over tea in the "Hui Xian Pavilion" for a while, Liu Yuxin and Song Changze, who had rushed over anxiously after receiving the news, also soon arrived at the top of the mountain.

The master and disciple had not seen each other for many years, and Liu Yuxin was extremely excited in her heart. She could not control herself and stepped forward to hug He Mengxin tightly, tears falling from her eyes.

Seeing this, He Mengxin also shook her head slightly and said: "Alright! You are already a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, why are you still shedding tears at every turn like when you were a child.

What kind of decorum is this on such a grand and joyous day? Master is here at Funiu Mountain today to congratulate you, and it is not yet time to part."

After He Mengxin comforted Liu Yuxin for a long while, she finally let her calm down slowly, wipe away her tears, and reveal a smile.

"Junior Song Changze pays respects to Senior He!" After Liu Yuxin stepped back, Song Changze, who was on the side, immediately stepped forward to bow and salute He Mengxin, who was an elder.

After He Mengxin shifted her gaze to Song Changze, she immediately nodded to him with satisfaction.

"Not bad! You have already cultivated to the late stage of Foundation Establishment before reaching a hundred years old. If you cultivate well in the future and have the support of Daoist Friend Song, I presume you also have a chance for Core Formation."

When she first met Song Changze back then, He Mengxin had liked his honest and loyal character. Now seeing that Song Changze's cultivation speed was no worse than Liu Yuxin's, she was naturally very satisfied with this Daoist companion chosen by her disciple.

Regardless of the level of cultivation or the length of lifespan, being able to find a good and suitable partner to walk through life together is also an enviable thing in the eyes of many cultivators.

Although the cultivation world is vast and boundless with billions of cultivators, wanting to find a Daoist companion who likes each other in the vast sea of people is not an easy matter. Many cultivators, even if their cultivation is profound, will spend their whole lives without finding that person who is suitable for them.

After He Mengxin arrived at "Funiu Mountain," it was only a few days before the sound of firecrackers and ceremonial music began to ring out on the mountain.

The "Dual Cultivation Ceremony" that the Song family had prepared for Song Changze and his companion for more than half a year finally began.

In order to highlight the family's importance to Liu Yuxin, a direct disciple of a Core Formation cultivator, Song Qingming also set the specifications for the ceremony very high and specially invited surrounding cultivation families to "Funiu Mountain" to observe the ceremony.

Early in the morning, cultivation families from Qinghe and Pingyang counties arrived at "Funiu Mountain" one after another to congratulate Song Changze and Liu Yuxin.

Several Foundation Establishment disciples of the Carefree Sect stationed in the market within the Song family's territory also came uninvited after hearing the news and presented their own congratulatory gifts.

There were also those cultivators who operated shops in "Chiyan Market," as well as some loose cultivators who had a slight connection with the Song family, all taking this opportunity to prepare gifts and come to "Funiu Mountain" to participate in the ceremony.

Even Zhang Rong and Zhang Tieyang, who were ten thousand miles away, specially sent people to deliver a significant congratulatory gift to express their feelings.

For a time, there were suddenly hundreds more cultivators on Funiu Mountain, almost filling the "Hui Xian Pavilion" that the Song family used to hold the ceremony.

Since Song Yuanhao's Foundation Establishment ceremony, whenever someone in the family successfully established their foundation later, they basically only held a banquet within the family to celebrate. The Song family had not been this lively for a long time.

On the third floor of the "Hui Xian Pavilion," under the witness of Core Formation elders such as Song Qingming, Huang Siyuan, and He Mengxin, Song Changze and Liu Yuxin officially became dual cultivation Daoist companions.

Seeing these two juniors, who had supported each other for many years, finally achieve a positive result today, Song Qingming and the others were also very happy in their hearts.

Finally, amidst the laughter of Song Yuanhao, Song Yuanqian, and others teasing the newlyweds, the "Dual Cultivation Ceremony" held by the Song family for the two newcomers slowly ended as the moon climbed higher.
