Chapter 714: Liu Liu Yuxin

Years ago, when Liu Liu Yuxin returned from the East Sea cultivation world, she initially lived at the Song family's "Mount Mount Funiu," where she had the most contact with Song Song Changze, who was of a similar age and cultivation level.

The relationship between the two evolved from initially not seeing eye-to-eye to slowly becoming familiar with each other under the unintentional matchmaking of Song Song Qingyu, eventually becoming senior and junior disciples who shared everything.

Later, after Liu Liu Yuxin came to "Chiyan Market" to open a few small shops, Song Song Changze also took the initiative to apply to the family to be stationed at the market. The two became inseparable, often going out to play together.

Not to mention within the Song family, even the merchants and rogue cultivators in "Chiyan Market" could see that they had developed mutual feelings for each other.

It was just a pity that although Song Song Changze had been cultivating for many years, he was always somewhat indecisive in matters of the heart and never dared to take the initiative to confess his true feelings to Liu Liu Yuxin, which was why their relationship had never been able to progress further.

As an elder, Song Song Qingming originally did not want to interfere too much in the romantic problems of the family's younger generation, but now that Liu Liu Yuxin knew the secret of "Mount Shuangfeng," he felt a bit uneasy.

Of course, Song Song Qingming was not someone who liked to force others in matters of the heart, so he gave Liu Liu Yuxin two choices directly.

If Liu Liu Yuxin was willing to become dao companions with Song Song Changze, that would naturally be for the best. In this way, she would be formally married into the Song family and considered one of their own, and the family could naturally rest assured about her.

If Liu Liu Yuxin was unwilling to accept Song Song Changze, then her continuing to stay in Qinghe County to cultivate would inevitably bring certain risks to the spirit stone vein at "Mount Shuangfeng," and Song Song Qingming would have no choice but to send her back to the East Sea cultivation world first.

As long as she left the Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world, separated by over a hundred thousand miles, even if Liu Liu Yuxin accidentally leaked this news in the future, it would not have any impact on the Song family.

Seeing Song Song Qingming state the matter between the two of them so directly, Liu Liu Yuxin's face also flushed with embarrassment. After standing awkwardly in place for a long while, she finally stepped forward, bowed to Song Song Qingming, and replied softly: "Senior Song, this junior already understands what you mean. Could you give me some time to consider this matter further?"

"Hmm! There is no rush for this. I still need half a month to prepare before I set off for the East Sea. Just give me a definite answer before I depart."

After Song Song Qingming nodded slightly, he turned to Song Song Changze, who was standing to the side, and said: "With Liu Yuxin at Mount Shuangfeng, it will be fine. You return to the family with me first; I still have some matters to entrust to you."

After speaking seriously to Song Song Changze, Song Song Qingming did not care about his reaction and immediately took out the "Phantom Boat" and flew up first.

Song Song Changze looked at Liu Liu Yuxin, who had already become calm, and after hesitating for a moment, he jumped onto the "Phantom Boat" somewhat helplessly, following Song Song Qingming as they turned into a streak of light and left "Mount Shuangfeng."

When the flying boat was halfway there, seeing Song Song Changze standing to the side, staring into the distance in silence, Song Song Qingming sighed slightly, looked ahead, and said softly: "Song Changze, I originally did not want to interfere in the matters between you two, but things have reached this point, and there is no other better way."

"Seventh Great-Uncle, you don't need to explain this to me. I also know your intentions. After all, this matter concerns the family, and Song Changze knows the importance of it. Please rest assured, no matter what choice Junior Sister Liu Yuxin makes, I will respect her."

After standing on the flying boat and blowing in the cool breeze for a while, Song Song Changze felt much calmer. Although he still couldn't let go of Liu Liu Yuxin in his heart, he also understood that the family's interests were always higher than his own.

Seeing this, Song Song Qingming also turned his head with some relief and said nothing more.

After returning to "Mount Mount Funiu," Song Song Qingming immediately sent Song Song Changze away, having him make a trip to "Mount Mount Tuoyun" to deliver something to Zhang Rong.

Since the beast turmoil, the entire spirit mountain and market at "Mount Mount Tuoyun" had been severely damaged. After so many years, it had finally recovered somewhat, and the "Mount Mount Tuoyun" market had also resumed operations under the leadership of the Xiaoyao Sect.

The reason for sending a letter to Zhang Rong this time was that Zhang Rong had sent someone to "Mount Mount Funiu" some time ago, wanting to invite Song Song Qingming to attend the celebration of the market's successful reconstruction.

Because the Zhang family of "Iron Immortal Castle" had also joined in this reconstructed market, the shares occupied by the Song family were much less than before, leaving only a minimum of ten percent.

Song Song Qingming thought about it and decided not to attend, so he had Song Song Changze deliver a gift for him in advance to express his intentions.

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

After arranging for Song Song Changze, Song Song Qingming returned to his cave dwelling at the top of the mountain and took out a set of high-tier formations to tinker with.

During his three years of seclusion, Song Song Qingming had successfully refined the "Jade Heart Fruit" obtained from the Wu State, increasing his magic power significantly, and had repaired most of the Tiangang Five Elements Formation in his hands using the "Mount Mount Lianhua Gold Jade Stone" given to him by Feng He.

Given a little more time, Song Song Qingming would be able to completely restore the power of this third-tier top-quality defensive formation.

Just as Song Song Qingming was concentrating on pouring spiritual energy into the formation flags in his hands, attempting to control the "Tiangang Five Elements Formation" before him, a ripple suddenly came from outside the cave dwelling.

Before long, Huang Huang Siyuan, dressed in coarse plain clothes, walked into Song Song Qingming's cave dwelling.

Before Song Song Qingming headed to "Mount Shuangfeng," Huang Huang Siyuan, having learned that he had come out of seclusion, also put down the tasks at hand and walked out of the cave dwelling where she had been refining pills.

After taking on Zhang Zhang Tieyang's pill refining task three years ago, Huang Huang Siyuan lived up to expectations and successfully refined the pills, producing three pills in one go. Not only did she successfully complete Zhang Zhang Tieyang's commission, but she was also rewarded with a spirit pill from him.

After Huang Huang Siyuan refined the elixir she had obtained, her spiritual power surged by a significant margin. It is estimated that in another five or six years, she will be able to complete her cultivation and attempt to break through the bottleneck of the fourth layer of Jin Dan.

Besides this, Huang Huang Siyuan, who had successfully raised her pill refining skills to the third-tier mid-quality, also copied the third-tier mid-quality pill formula called "Dongyuan Pill" from Zhang Zhang Tieyang's hands.

In the last six months, she had also frequently gone out to search for auxiliary spirit herbs for the pill formula, preparing to use a suitable demon core in Song Song Qingming's hands to refine another batch of "Dongyuan Pills."

Although this pill had usage restrictions—a Jin Dan cultivator could refine at most three, and they had to be spaced at least twenty years apart to exert the pill's maximum efficacy.

However, since it was a third-tier mid-quality spirit pill, if she couldn't take it herself, she could exchange it for other pills or spirit items she wanted from other Jin Dan cultivators or the "Heavenly Pill Alliance."

During these three years, Huang Huang Siyuan had not been in seclusion in the cave dwelling like Song Song Qingming. Besides going out to search for spirit herbs, she would occasionally disguise her identity as a cultivator and, following the way Song Song Qingming had taught her, go down the mountain to experience the life of ordinary mortals.

As soon as she entered, seeing Song Song Qingming staring at her, Huang Huang Siyuan, knowing that she was covered in mud from down the mountain, hurriedly waved her hand and used a spell to clean off all the mud.

"I just got back. I heard them say you already went to Mount Shuangfeng?"

Song Song Qingming smiled, put away the formation flags in his hands, and nodded slightly: "Hmm! Song Changze and the others weren't wrong. That place is indeed a spirit stone vein, and the reserves are not small. It is estimated that we can dig about three thousand spirit stones a year."

"So many? That is truly great. You don't say, Song Changze this child really has good fortune. How is it that he always encounters such good things? The Yinfeng Ridge vein was found because of him, and this time it is related to him again.

This spirit stone vein has no small impact on the family. You must reward him well this time."

Hearing Huang Huang Siyuan's words, Song Song Qingming suddenly smiled and said: "Rewards are definitely indispensable, but we still have to see if he has this fortune. Otherwise, even if we give him more spirit stones, he might not necessarily like it."

"Oh! What did that girl Liu Yuxin say? Did she agree to the request you proposed?" Huang Huang Siyuan asked with a curious face.

"She said she wants to consider it. You also know that this girl is clever and has her own ideas. This matter is still a bit hard to say." Song Song Qingming shook his head slightly after speaking and sat down at the stone table to the side.

"Hehe! In that way, you don't have much certainty in keeping her. Song Changze's heart is all on Liu Yuxin. If you don't handle this well, maybe he will resent us in the future.

How about this, in a few days I will go to Mount Shuangfeng to talk to her. With us elders working hard to help, maybe this matter will be done." Huang Huang Siyuan smiled at the corner of her mouth and also walked toward Song Song Qingming.

"I have already made this matter clear to her. I think you shouldn't go again. Whether she is willing to stay depends on herself. If the two of them really don't have this fate, forcing them together might not necessarily be a good thing."

Huang Huang Siyuan paused after hearing this and then said: "Although what you said is very reasonable, sometimes feelings are really hard to fathom.

I am also worried that once the two of them miss this, it will be very difficult to make up for it in the future."

Hearing Huang Huang Siyuan's words, Song Song Qingming also fell silent for a while, then smiled at her again: "Hmm! You are right. Someone matchmaking might not necessarily be a bad thing.

That girl probably hasn't fully figured it out yet. You go in a few days!"

Just when Song Song Qingming and Huang Huang Siyuan were still having a headache over the matter of Song Song Changze and the other, unexpectedly, Liu Liu Yuxin came to "Mount Mount Funiu" on her own initiative early the next morning.

Meeting this time, in front of the two Jin Dan cultivators Song Song Qingming and Huang Huang Siyuan, Liu Liu Yuxin did not waste too many words, directly admitted her feelings for Song Song Changze, and frankly stated that she was willing to stay and be with him.

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

After Liu Liu Yuxin agreed to marry into the Song family, Song Song Qingming did not let her return to Mount Shuangfeng and directly arranged for Liu Liu Yuxin to live at "Mount Mount Funiu."

It was just a pity that because Song Song Changze had gone to "Mount Mount Tuoyun," he didn't know this good news immediately and only learned about it after returning to the clan more than half a month later.

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

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

After Song Song Yuanfang took over the "Mount Shuangfeng" spirit vein with people, the Song family was not in a hurry to move mortals there to immediately mine the "spirit stone vein."

Instead, they sent out many cultivators to begin setting up a defensive formation at "Mount Shuangfeng," building houses and cave dwellings, and properly renovating the "Mount Shuangfeng" spirit vein.

Until everything on the mountain was ready, the Song family began to move a large number of family mortals from the family spirit land "Mount Mount Funiu" and transferred them to "Mount Shuangfeng."

In order not to attract attention, the Song family also moved mortals in batches and did not make a big scene with a large-scale migration at once.

Although the Mount Shuangfeng spirit stone vein was only a few hundred miles away from "Chiyan Market," this place, like Yinfeng Ridge, was already located deep in "Mount Mount Yunwu," and there were occasionally second-tier demon beasts nearby.

For the safety of the "spirit stone vein," Song Song Yuanfang not only set up a second-tier top-quality defensive formation there but also arranged for two Foundation Establishment elders of the family and more than sixty Qi Condensation cultivators to be stationed there, which could be said to attach great importance to this place.

Externally, the Song family claimed that an ordinary "black iron vein" had been discovered at Mount Shuangfeng, directly classifying it as the family's direct territory and prohibiting cultivators near Qinghe County and those rogue cultivators from approaching "Mount Shuangfeng."

Although it was impossible for the Song family to hide this secret for a lifetime, doing these precautions was always useful. When the family's strength became stronger in the future, they would not be afraid of others coveting this "spirit stone vein."

The mining difficulty of the "spirit stone vein" at Mount Shuangfeng was not very high. Together with setting up the defensive formation, Song Song Qingming invested less than thirty thousand spirit stones on the mountain and prepared everything.

In less than two months, the family mortals who had settled down at "Mount Shuangfeng" had already begun to mine this "spirit stone vein" with the help of cultivators.

Learning the news that the Mount Shuangfeng "spirit stone vein" was already operating normally, Song Song Qingming also slowly felt relieved and returned to the cave dwelling to patiently study his "Tiangang Five Elements Formation."

Time flew by, and half a year passed quickly.

As the dual cultivation ceremony for Song Song Changze and Liu Liu Yuxin drew closer, "Mount 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 and beautifully by the cultivators on the mountain.

On this day, a streak of spiritual light suddenly flew from the east and stopped directly in mid-air outside the Song family's defensive formation at "Mount Mount Funiu," revealing the figure of a woman in blue.

Looking at the lively spirit mountain below, a hint of joy appeared on the blue-clothed woman's face. She took out a sound-transmitting spirit talisman and sent it into the defensive formation.

Before long, a figure suddenly flew out from a cave dwelling at the top of the mountain and came to the side of the blue-clothed woman.

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

"Hehe! Welcome, Fellow Daoist He, to be a guest at my Mount Mount Funiu. I haven't seen your figure for a long time, and I was worried that you might be tied up with matters and unable to make it." Seeing He He Mengxin, who had just arrived, Song Song Qingming and the other hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute.

He He Mengxin explained immediately after hearing this: "Liu Yuxin is my direct disciple after all. At such an important moment when she and Song Changze become dao companions, how could I, her master, not be present!

It's just a coincidence that I have been in seclusion cultivating recently and didn't receive your letter in time, which is why I came a bit late. I hope Fellow Daoist Song will not blame me."

Song Song Qingming waved his hand with a smile: "Sigh! Fellow Daoist He, you are too polite. Now that Song Changze and Liu Yuxin have borne fruit, you and I are already in-laws. Don't be so formal in the future.

I haven't received news from you for so long, and Liu Yuxin has been getting anxious recently. I have already sent someone to invite her. Fellow Daoist, please follow me up the mountain first!"

After the two exchanged a few words on the spot, they quickly passed through the mountain-protecting formation under Song Song Qingming's lead and arrived at the "Meeting Immortal Pavilion" located at the summit.

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

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

Although He He Mengxin hadn't been to "Mount Mount Funiu" for so many years, she had learned some things about the Song family through her disciple Liu Liu Yuxin. She wasn't surprised that Huang Huang Siyuan had broken through to the Jin Dan realm, apparently having known about it for a long time.

Since the last time Song Song Qingming and the others participated in the "Luolong Island" exchange meeting in the East Sea cultivation world with He He Mengxin, the two sides hadn't met for decades.

After so many years of hard cultivation, their cultivation levels had also changed significantly compared to decades ago.

He He Mengxin had risen from the second layer of Jin Dan to the fifth layer, and Song Song Qingming's cultivation had also successfully broken through to the seventh layer of Jin Dan, becoming a late-stage Jin Dan cultivator.

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

Two hundred years ago, the Song family, like the Liu family, was just an inconspicuous small Qi Condensation family in Qinghe County. Unexpectedly, today the Song family was already the premier Jin Dan immortal clan in Qinghe County and even the entire Wei State.

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

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

Master and disciple hadn't seen each other for many years, and Liu Liu Yuxin was extremely excited. She couldn't control herself and stepped forward to hug He He Mengxin tightly, tears falling uncontrollably.

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

On such a joyous day, what kind of behavior is this? Master is here at Mount Mount Funiu today to congratulate you, and it's not yet time to part."

After He He Mengxin comforted Liu Liu Yuxin for a long while, she finally calmed her down, wiped away her tears, and revealed a smile.

"Junior Song Song Changze greets Senior He!" After Liu Liu Yuxin stepped back, Song Song Changze to the side immediately stepped forward and bowed to He He Mengxin, the elder.

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

"Not bad! Not even a hundred years old and you have already cultivated to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If you cultivate well in the future and have Fellow Daoist Song's support, I presume you also have a few chances to form a core."

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

Regardless of cultivation level or lifespan, being able to find a good companion to walk through life together was also an enviable thing in the eyes of many cultivators.

Although the cultivation world was vast and had hundreds of millions of cultivators, wanting to find a dao companion who liked each other in the vast sea of people was not an easy thing. Many cultivators, even with profound cultivation, would spend their whole lives without finding that person who suited them.

After He He Mengxin arrived at "Mount Mount Funiu," the sound of firecrackers and ceremonial music began to ring out on the mountain a few days later.

The "dual cultivation celebration" that the Song family had prepared for Song Song Changze and the other for more than half a year finally began.

In order to show the family's importance to Liu Liu Yuxin, a direct disciple of a Jin Dan cultivator, Song Song Qingming set the scale of the celebration very high and specially invited the surrounding cultivation families to "Mount Mount Funiu" to witness the ceremony.

Early in the morning, the cultivation families of Qinghe and Pingyang counties sent people to "Mount Mount Funiu" one after another to congratulate Song Song Changze and Liu Liu Yuxin.

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

And those cultivators who operated shops in "Chiyan Market," as well as some rogue cultivators who had a little connection with the Song family, all took this opportunity to prepare gifts and come to "Mount Mount Funiu" to participate in the celebration.

Even Zhang Rong and Zhang Zhang Tieyang, who were thousands of miles away, specially sent people to deliver a gift of considerable weight to express their intentions.

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

Since Song Song Yuanhao's Foundation Establishment celebration, whenever someone in the family successfully established a foundation, they basically only held a banquet within the family to celebrate. It had been a long time since the Song family had been as lively as today.

On the third floor of "Hui Xian Pavilion," under the witness of Jin Dan elders Song Song Qingming, Huang Huang Siyuan, and He He Mengxin, Song Song Changze and Liu Liu Yuxin formally became dual cultivation dao companions.

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

Finally, amidst the laughter of Song Song Yuanhao, Song Song Yuanqian, and others teasing the newlyweds, this "dual cultivation ceremony" held by the Song family for the two newcomers slowly ended as the moon climbed higher. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 715 =====
