Why are you in such a rush? You haven't even returned to Mount Jingyuan to take a look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Mengxin waved her hand at the two with a smile before speaking softly in reply: \"I already went to see it when I returned last time. You have done well; with you looking after the Liu family in Qinghe County, it will surely get better and better in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am now in the sect and have no way to return to the family; going back to see too much would only add to the sorrow. If you have time, please help me burn a few more sticks of incense for the old clan leader and the others!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that you have married here, you must listen more to your elders. From now on, you must not act spoiled and bully Changze again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, look at what you're saying! When have I ever bullied him?\" Seeing He Mengxin give her a worried exhortation, Liu Yuxin immediately pouted, somewhat displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will take care of Yuxin in the future and will certainly not let her suffer any grievances. Please rest assured, Senior; I will definitely not fail her from now on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Song Changze make his earnest promise, He Mengxin nodded slightly at him. With a flash of spiritual light in her hand, a shimmering golden talisman and a small purple wooden box immediately appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This talisman is something I refined some time ago. I didn't bring you any good gifts this time I returned, so keep this talisman for self-defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this Foundation Establishment Pill is something I brought back specifically. Yuxin, you keep it for now. If there is a suitable person in Mount Jingyuan who can attempt the Foundation Establishment realm in the future, you can hand this item to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I cannot return often, I will not ignore you. If you need me for anything in the future, just send a message to the East Sea, and I will try my best to rush back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, He Mengxin immediately handed the Foundation Establishment Pill to Liu Yuxin and placed the golden talisman into Song Changze's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden talisman He Mengxin brought out contained extremely powerful spiritual energy, faintly exceeding the Foundation Establishment realm; it was clearly a very precious Tier 3 low-grade talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Tier 3 talisman in his hand, Song Changze was somewhat surprised; he had not expected He Mengxin to give him such a precious spiritual item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Tier 3 low-grade talisman could allow a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator to unleash an attack no worse than that of a Core Formation cultivator. It could sell for at least three thousand spirit stones in a market, and such a level of spiritual item was simply not seen in ordinary small markets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been at Foundation Establishment for so many years, this was the first time Song Changze possessed a spiritual item above Tier 3. He was a little excited, so he hurriedly put the talisman away carefully and bowed to He Mengxin to express his gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! I still need to go find Fellow Daoist Song and the others to say goodbye, so I won't talk to you anymore.\" After waving her hand at Song Changze and Liu Yuxin again, He Mengxin immediately turned and left the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yuxin, still feeling reluctant to part, stood in place watching her master go into the distance before suddenly turning to Song Changze beside her with a smile and reaching out her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is that talisman Master just gave you? Take it out and let me see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!...\" — After parting with Liu Yuxin and her husband, He Mengxin, led by a Qi Refining cultivator of the Song family, soon arrived at the \"Immortal Gathering Pavilion\" on the summit, where she met Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, who were sipping tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist He, please sit. You came at the right time today; this is the premium spiritual tea Siyuan just brewed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After He Mengxin bowed slightly to Song Qingming, she sat down beside them. After sipping the spiritual tea Huang Siyuan served, she smiled and slowly opened her mouth to speak to Song Qingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Song, Yuxin's celebration has ended, and I have nothing left to do in Qinghe County. Today, I have come specifically to bid farewell to you both.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist He, you only returned a few days ago; why are you in such a rush to leave? I have been busy with family matters these past few days and haven't properly entertained you. I was even hoping to find time to exchange cultivation insights with you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing He Mengxin in a rush to leave, Song Qingming immediately spoke up to persuade her to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Mengxin shook her head with a smile upon hearing this: \"I came out in a hurry this time and did not inform the sect about my departure. I fear that if I stay too long, the sect elders will be searching for me everywhere. It is better to return early to avoid adding unnecessary trouble to the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for exchanging cultivation insights, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future; there is no need to rush. Next time you go to the East Sea, Fellow Daoist Song, just send me a message, and I will certainly make time to entertain you both properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing He Mengxin say this, Song Qingming immediately understood. She had not received the sect's permission to return to the Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world to attend Liu Yuxin's \"Dual Cultivation Celebration,\" so she had not come openly and thus dared not stay long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Song Qingming bowed with a hint of regret: \"Oh! If that is the case, then the sect's affairs are naturally more important. We shall not force you to stay, Fellow Daoist He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I spoke to you last time about Qingyu. If you happen to have any news of her in the East Sea, please help me by sending a message. I would be immensely grateful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That girl Qingyu has been traveling in the East Sea for so long and hasn't even gone to the Hundred Flowers Palace to find me; it really has left me a bit disappointed. Next time I see her, I will have to give her a good talking-to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Song. Qingyu and I are like sisters. If she really encounters any trouble in the East Sea and comes to find me, I will help her even without you asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After I return, I will have the sect's disciples abroad help inquire about her. If there is any news, I will send a message to inform you immediately.\" Seeing Song Qingming mention Song Qingyu, a hint of reproach immediately entered He Mengxin's tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi had been traveling in the East Sea cultivation world for nearly five years, yet they had never gone to the \"Hundred Flowers Palace\" to find her, a sister with whom she had a close relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Mengxin had only learned this news from Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan after returning to attend Liu Yuxin's \"Dual Cultivation Celebration\" and conversing with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although there was some resentment on He Mengxin's face, she was not truly unhappy. Hearing Song Qingming ask her to help inquire about Song Qingyu, she immediately agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That would be troubling you, Fellow Daoist He. When I reach the East Sea next time, I will certainly visit you at the Hundred Flowers Palace.\" Seeing He Mengxin agree to help inquire about Song Qingyu and the other, Song Qingming hurriedly stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Mengxin bowed in return: \"Very well! It is settled then. I will be waiting for you both in the East Sea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the three chatted over tea for a while, He Mengxin soon rose to take her leave, turning into a streak of light and leaving \"Mount Funiu\" directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, on a barren mountain dozens of miles away, a pair of eyes watched the direction in which He Mengxin left, then turned to look at the Song family's \"Mount Funiu,\" before quickly disappearing from the spot. — After the conclusion of Song Changze and Liu Yuxin's \"Dual Cultivation Celebration,\" \"Mount Funiu\" slowly quieted down, and the entire Song family entered a relatively peaceful period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his spare time from cultivation, Song Qingming returned to his closed-door cultivation cave and focused most of his energy on studying the Dao of formations. Finally, half a year later, he successfully restored the formation disk and formation flags of the grand formation to their latest state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having just repaired the \"Heavenly Dipper Five Elements Formation,\" Song Qingming immediately walked out of the cave and arrived at an open space on the west side of the summit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After scanning his surroundings, a flash of spiritual light in Song Qingming's hand revealed five black formation flags, which he controlled to quickly insert into the ground in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Song Qingming threw out another black formation disk from his hand. Once the disk flew into mid-air, the formation flags on the ground quickly raised a translucent spiritual light, forming an inverted semi-circular protective shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After glancing at the transparent shield before him, Song Qingming moved his magic power again, and a golden ring appeared before him. He then continuously poured his magic power into the golden ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This golden ring grew larger in mid-air, quickly expanding from one foot in size to two or three zhang wide, with a layer of pale green spiritual light covering its perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Song Qingming, with a serious expression, softly spat out a word. The golden ring before him immediately turned into a dazzling golden light, smashing heavily onto the transparent light shield not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud \"Boom!\", a burst of sparks instantly appeared in front, blocking Song Qingming's view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Song Qingming could see the situation clearly, the explosive aftermath of the golden ring hitting the light shield turned into a gale, kicking up dust from all around and rushing toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, a white protective spiritual light immediately appeared in front of Song Qingming, blocking it for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the gale carried by the aftermath dissipated, Song Qingming immediately flashed to the front of the transparent light shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the grand formation before him was intact and had not been damaged by the magic treasure he had just unleashed, a satisfied joy appeared on Song Qingming's originally calm face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since obtaining this \"Heavenly Dipper Five Elements Formation,\" it had taken a full thirty years, but today Song Qingming had finally achieved his wish and completely repaired the damaged Tier 3 high-grade formation in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, he had casually set up this formation, and its defensive capability could already easily withstand a full-force strike from a late-stage Core Formation expert like himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to find a suitable location and carefully set it up, just as he did when Feng He was undergoing the Tribulation, the power of the grand formation could be increased by more than double. Even using it to withstand the attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator was not impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After testing the \"Heavenly Dipper Five Elements Formation\" with his magic treasure, Song Qingming did not rush to put away the formation before him, but instead flashed and flew into mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Song Qingming pointed his hand, and his magic power instantly passed through the formation, shooting into the black formation disk floating in mid-air not far from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, a layer of pale green light slowly emerged on the surface of this black formation disk, and then the aura of the entire \"Heavenly Dipper Five Elements Formation\" slowly underwent a change different from before. After stopping the infusion of magic power, Song Qingming controlled his magic treasure, the \"Golden Radiance Treasure Ring,\" not far beside him, and launched another attack toward the top of the formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, although the result of the attack was the same as before, it still did not break the defense of the \"Heavenly Dipper Five Elements Formation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Song Qingming could clearly feel that the power of the formation before him was a bit stronger than before, which made a hint of pride appear on his face that had just calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Green Jade Treasure Refining Art is indeed useful for formations as well. It's a pity this formation wasn't refined by my own hands; otherwise, I could have at least increased the power of this Heavenly Dipper Five Elements Formation by another ten percent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Qingming whispered to himself, he satisfiedly put away the magic treasure beside him, and then retrieved the \"Heavenly Dipper Five Elements Formation\" he had set up on the ground back into the storage artifact at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since returning from the Wu State, Song Qingming had been studying how to repair the formation every day for the past few years. A few months ago, on a whim, he suddenly had an idea to refine the \"Green Jade Treasure Refining Art\" he cultivated into the formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the result did not disappoint him. After the \"Heavenly Dipper Five Elements Formation\" integrated the Green Jade Treasure Refining Art he cultivated, its power increased by about twenty percent compared to before, just like the few magic treasures on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had poured the Green Jade Treasure Refining Art directly into it from the very beginning of refining the formation, the power of the \"Heavenly Dipper Five Elements\" could have increased even more, at least having thirty percent more defensive power than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After discovering that the \"Green Jade Treasure Refining Art\" had this use, Song Qingming was also very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When cultivators fight, formations, like magic treasures, are also things that can enhance one's own combat power. Being able to set up formations that are thirty percent more powerful than usual is undoubtedly another great improvement to his fighting strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the formation test, Song Qingming had just returned to his cave when he saw Song Yuanfang, who had rushed over in a hurry, not far from the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! I was a bit bored just after coming out of closed-door cultivation, so I stretched my limbs a bit. I didn't mean to startle you all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the lingering panic on Song Yuanfang's face, Song Qingming knew that the commotion he had made on the summit must have been too loud and scared them, so he hurriedly explained with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Song Yuanfang smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to offer a salute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventh Grand-Uncle, I happened to have something to discuss with you. It's about the Nineteenth Younger Brother. Half a month ago, he suddenly came to find me, saying he wanted to go out and travel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You also know that his injuries haven't fully recovered yet. It's a bit dangerous to choose to go out and travel now. I tried to persuade him for a long time but couldn't shake his mind. I'm afraid you'll have to go see him yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm! How have Yuanli's injuries recovered now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I checked him half a month ago. The external physical injuries have basically recovered. Now only the meridians in his body need to be well-nurtured. It is estimated that it will take another three or four years to slowly recuperate. It can be considered seventy or eighty percent recovered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Song Yuanfang's reply, Song Qingming pondered for a moment before saying: \"Having been in closed-door cultivation to heal injuries all these years, Yuanli must be feeling stifled. Since his injuries have recovered seventy or eighty percent, with his foundation, although he cannot exert his full strength when fighting others, he won't be at a disadvantage against ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think it's better to let him go out and walk around; it can also help him change his mood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuanfang, what do you think!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also agree with him wanting to go out and walk around. I haven't dared to agree all along, just because I'm still worried about his injuries.\" Seeing Song Qingming express his opinion and turn his gaze to him, Song Yuanfang sighed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming nodded with a smile upon hearing this: \"Hmm! I know your thoughts, but jade that is not polished will never become a useful vessel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, although the family has become wealthy in recent years and more people have the opportunity to use Foundation Establishment Pills for closed-door cultivation, the success rate of Foundation Establishment is far inferior to the past. Many young cultivators in the family are still too lacking in experience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Song Qingming say this, Song Yuanfang immediately nodded: \"Seventh Grand-Uncle is right. In these ten years, a total of five people in the family have gone into closed-door cultivation for Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They were all carefully selected by the many elders of the family, and their Three Spiritual Root talent is no worse than ours. Yet, among the five, only Xuanyu and Xuanling succeeded in Foundation Establishment. It is indeed much worse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have also had some thoughts recently. I plan to arrange for those clansmen whose cultivation has just broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining to all go out and gain experience, so they can broaden their horizons outside, and their chances of Foundation Establishment in the future will be higher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing what Song Yuanfang said, Song Qingming immediately nodded in agreement: \"Hmm! This idea of yours is good. Not only them, these Qi Refining cultivators, but you, the family's Foundation Establishment elders, should also go out and walk around when you have the opportunity. Being able to experience more insights into cultivation outside is also beneficial for your future Core Formation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In two days, you notify everyone and gather all the cultivators in the family who are at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and above. Let's see if any of them want to go out and travel like Yuanli, and then we will discuss how to arrange it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well! Seventh Grand-Uncle, I will go handle this matter first and report back to you when there is news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Yuanfang left the summit, he immediately sent a message to notify all the Foundation Establishment elders of the family who were outside, gathering them in the family's \"Discussion Hall\" two days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the monster beast turmoil, the cultivators of the entire Qinghe County were slowly recovering. The Song family, which had lost nearly a hundred cultivators, had also recovered much of its vitality, and the number of family cultivators had risen back to over four hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is estimated that in a few more years, it will be able to recover to the level before the monster beast turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excluding the three Core Formation cultivators, Song Qingming and the others, the family now has a total of thirteen Foundation Establishment cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Song family lost a Foundation Establishment elder, Song Changlin, in the previous monster beast turmoil, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family at this moment had not decreased but increased, with two more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these thirteen Foundation Establishment elders, two are late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators: Song Yuanli, who has been in closed-door cultivation to heal his injuries for a long time and is at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, and Song Changze, who just got married and held a \"Dual Cultivation Celebration\" and is at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are also the two with the highest cultivation among the many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Song family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are seven mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, among whom Song Yuanhao, Song Yuanfang, Song Yuanxue, and Liu Yuxin have all cultivated to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining three, Song Xuanting, Huang Leqing, and Song Yuanqian, have lower cultivation, only at the fourth or fifth level of Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these seven mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Song family, the one with the highest cultivation and closest to breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment is Liu Yuxin, who just married into the Song family not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, her cultivation has reached the peak of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, and she also has the \"Barrier-Breaking Pill\" that Song Qingming gave her not long ago. She can go into closed-door cultivation to attempt the bottleneck of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yuxin's cultivation talent is not low, and with the assistance of the \"Barrier-Breaking Pill,\" her probability of breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment is still very high. If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Yuxin should soon become the third late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Song family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining four Foundation Establishment elders, Song Xuanqing, Song Xuanfeng, Song Xuanyu, and Song Xuanling, are all younger \"Xuan\" generation cultivators of the Song family. They have all been at Foundation Establishment for a relatively short time, and their cultivation is currently still at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Song Xuanyu and Song Xuanling are elders who have newly succeeded in Foundation Establishment in the family. Both are \"Xuan\" generation cultivators of the family who succeeded in Foundation Establishment after the monster beast turmoil, and their cultivation is currently still at the first level of Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the family has more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Song family has developed rapidly in recent years, and many places in the family's industries need Foundation Establishment cultivators to sit in town. There are not many people who can spare time to stay on \"Mount Funiu\" to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuanfang and Song Yuanqian need to help manage the many trivial matters of the family. Usually, they are the two busiest, and occasionally they need Huang Leqing to help out on the side. Apart from cultivation, it is very difficult for them to have any free time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuanxue, who has become a Tier 2 high-grade spiritual planter, needs to help manage the family's spiritual herb garden on the back mountain. She is also someone who rarely leaves \"Mount Funiu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Changze and Liu Yuxin got married, Song Qingming directly arranged for them to go to \"Chiyan Market\" to help the family sit in town and manage this important market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chiyan Market\" has a Tier 2 high-grade defensive formation with not-weak power. With Song Changze and Liu Yuxin sitting in town, plus the help of many Qi Refining cultivators in the market, the defensive strength is still not weak. Even if ordinary Core Formation monster beasts attack, it will be difficult to break through the mountain-protecting formation in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the other \"Spirit Stone Mine\" located at Shuangfeng Mountain, the Song family also set up a Tier 2 high-grade formation. Currently, the two Foundation Establishment elders of the family, Song Yuanhao and Song Xuanting, are guarding this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although a Tier 2 high-grade mountain-protecting formation was also set up, the spiritual vein of \"Shuangfeng Mountain\" is only Tier 2 mid-grade, still somewhat inferior to the nearby \"Chiyan Market.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the matched Tier 2 high-grade formation will be greatly weakened. Plus, the cultivators stationed there are all direct clansmen of the Song family, and their numbers are not large. The defensive strength is currently not as good as \"Chiyan Market,\" which has a law enforcement team of nearly two hundred people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this is also a matter of no choice. After all, the Song family has only just occupied this place, and this \"Spirit Stone Mine\" has only been operating for a short time. Rashly upgrading the spiritual vein might lead to the leakage of spiritual energy, revealing the secret that this place has a \"Spirit Stone Mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of safety, they can only send more cultivators to guard the \"Spirit Stone Mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yinfeng Ridge\" also needs Foundation Establishment cultivators to sit in town. Currently, the one stationed there is Song Xuanfeng, whose cultivation is only at the third level of Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the \"Yinfeng Ridge\" mine has been mined for many years, and the monster beasts nearby have become much fewer. With the help of two Foundation Establishment cultivators sent by the Xiaoyao Sect, it is now much safer than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is also Song Xuanqing, a Tier 2 alchemist of the family, who has also been sent by the family to the \"Tuoyun Mountain\" market in recent years to help manage several large shops in the family's market there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the \"Tuoyun Mountain\" market was rebuilt, although the Song family's shares were reduced a lot, the shops originally allocated to them did not decrease.
