Chapter 716: New Jin Dan Cultivator, No Regrets

As a second-tier pill refiner, the first and second-tier pills refined by Song Song Xuanqing were exactly what the rogue cultivators of "Mount Mount Tuoyun" needed. With this Foundation Establishment cultivator there, the family was relatively at ease.

Otherwise, "Mount Mount Tuoyun" was thousands of miles away, and if something went wrong with the shops in the market there, the family would be far away and it would be difficult to handle it in time.

Among the more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Song family, besides Song Song Yuanli, who was still recuperating, only Song Song Xuanyu and Song Song Xuanling, who had just established their foundations, had not been arranged any tasks by the family.

Receiving the family's summons to return to "Mount Mount Funiu" for a meeting, everyone thought that Song Song Yuanfang had some important family matters to discuss with them.

When Song Song Yuanfang stated the matter of letting some family cultivators go out to train, the many elders of the Song family sitting in the "Council Hall" revealed a hint of surprise one after another.

Especially Song Song Yuanli and Song Song Yuanhao, who had long wanted to go out to train, were somewhat puzzled while also feeling a bit excited. Just after Song Song Yuanfang finished speaking, the two of them immediately stood up and requested to go out to train for a period of time.

Besides Song Song Yuanli and Song Song Yuanhao, Song Song Changze, Liu Liu Yuxin, and Song Song Yuanqian also stood up one after another, expressing their thoughts of wanting to go out and see.

After Song Song Yuanxue established her foundation, she usually stayed in the clan and rarely went out. This time, she originally wanted to go out and walk around too.

But because there was a third-tier "Gilded Fruit Tree" in the family's spirit herb garden, and one of the spirit fruits was about to ripen, Song Song Yuanxue was somewhat worried that the spirit planters under the family wouldn't take good care of it, so she decided to wait until the spirit fruit was ripe and picked before going out to travel.

There was also another family elder, Song Chen Xuanfeng, who actively applied to go out to travel but was rejected on the spot by Song Song Yuanfang, who required him to cultivate to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment before he could go out to travel.

This was also a rule that Song Song Yuanfang and Song Song Qingming had discussed and set from the beginning, out of consideration for the safety of family cultivators.

Family Foundation Establishment cultivators could go out to train for at most ten years, and they must have a cultivation level of mid-stage Foundation Establishment or above, and the scope could not exceed the Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world.

Qi Condensation cultivators could go out to train for at most five years, and their cultivation needed to reach the late stage of Qi Condensation. The places they could go to travel could only be within the Wei State.

"Chen Xuanfeng, this is a rule set by the Chen Chen Laozu and me after discussion. It's useless for you to complain to me.

Either you cultivate well and break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment early, or you go to the top of the mountain to explain this matter to the Chen Chen Laozu yourself. As long as the Seventh Great-Uncle agrees, I will definitely not stop you."

Seeing that Song Chen Xuanfeng was still unwilling to give up and kept pestering him, Song Song Yuanfang was also impartial and unmoved, directly pushing this matter to the family Chen Chen Laozu at the top of the mountain.

Hearing that he had to go find Song Song Qingming, Song Chen Xuanfeng, whose mind conjured up a serious face, immediately quieted down and sat back in his chair somewhat dejectedly.

Although Song Chen Xuanfeng was a direct descendant of Song Song Qingming with close blood ties, in these years, besides receiving support from him, he was also very strict when facing him. As long as he did something wrong, he would also be reprimanded in front of everyone.

Knowing Song Song Qingming's character, he naturally didn't dare to go to the top of the mountain to touch this bad luck, otherwise, he would inevitably be scolded.

However, Song Chen Xuanfeng's cultivation had now reached the third layer of Foundation Establishment, and the distance to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment was not too far. As Song Song Yuanfang said, as long as he was willing to cultivate hard, he would sooner or later get the family's permission to go out to travel, so there was no need to rush for this moment.

Thinking of this, Song Chen Xuanfeng's disappointed face gradually calmed down, and he had already made up his mind to cultivate hard and strive to break through his cultivation early.

Song Song Yuanli and the other five decided to go out to train, and the tasks in their hands naturally needed others to take over.

Under Song Song Yuanfang's arrangement, Song Song Yuanxue took Song Song Xuanyu to "Chiyan Market" to sit in town, while Song Song Xuanling followed Song Song Xuanting, who had temporarily chosen not to go out to train, to "Mount Shuangfeng."

Song Song Xuanqing and Song Chen Xuanfeng returned to "Mount Mount Tuoyun" and "Yinfeng Ridge" to sit in town respectively. All the affairs at "Mount Mount Funiu" were taken over by Song Song Yuanfang and Huang Leqing.

Song Song Changze and the others leaving the family to go out to travel, although it would temporarily weaken some of the family's defensive strength at "Chiyan Market" and "Mount Shuangfeng," this would not have a big impact on the current Song family.

After all, there was still the late-stage Jin Dan Chen Chen Laozu Song Song Qingming sitting in town at "Mount Mount Funiu." Even if they encountered any dangerous situation, the Jin Dan cultivator only needed a quarter of an hour to rush to these two places.

After arranging these matters, in less than half a month, Song Song Yuanli and the other five successively went to the top of the mountain to bid farewell to Song Song Qingming, then left the family and set off for the places they had long wanted to go.

Among them, Song Song Yuanli went south, preparing to travel along "Taiyuehu" to the vicinity of the Wu Guo cultivation world. Song Song Changze and Liu Liu Yuxin, a couple, planned to go west together, wanting to go to the Qin State, the largest in the Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world, to take a look.

Song Song Yuanqian chose to go to the Shangyang State in the southeast of the Wei State. That place not only had many markets but was also adjacent to the East Sea cultivation world, and many rare spirit items could be seen there, which was also a place Song Song Yuanqian had always been interested in.

Song Song Yuanhao set his goal on the Song State to the west of "Taiyuehu." He heard that a secret realm there was about to open, so he wanted to go and see if he had a chance to find an opportunity inside.

Song Song Qingming did not interfere too much with the places Song Song Yuanli and the others chose to travel, only admonishing them to be careful in their actions outside, not to trust others lightly, and to remember to return early.

Before leaving, Song Song Qingming also specially gave each of them a second-tier top-quality spirit talisman for self-protection.

After Song Song Yuanli and the others left "Mount Mount Funiu," under Song Song Yuanfang's arrangement, more than twenty Qi Condensation cultivators in the family whose cultivation had just broken through also chose to go out to train with Song Song Yuanfang's permission.

Most of these people went north to the markets near the Fuyun Mountain Range, and a small number went south toward "Taiyuehu."

After seeing off Song Song Yuanli and the others, Song Song Qingming had not been in seclusion for two months when a letter from "Mount Mount Guyang" made him walk out of the cave dwelling.

Song Song Qingming, who had just come out of his cave dwelling, saw a letter in Song Song Yuanfang's hand not far away and immediately asked softly:

"Song Yuanfang, is there news of Song Xinyu back?"

After seeing Song Song Qingming's figure appear, Song Song Yuanfang hurriedly handed over the letter in his hand and then replied with a calm face:

"Seventh Great-Uncle, ten days ago I heard people say that a celestial phenomenon suddenly appeared on Mount Mount Guyang and lasted for several days. It seems that another cultivator in the sect has successfully formed a core.

After learning about this, the next day, when I sent a letter to the sect's General Affairs Hall to discuss the payment for this year's Yin Fire Stone goods, I asked about the Eighth Uncle's core formation by the way.

Unexpectedly, I received a reply from the General Affairs Hall today. They said in the letter that the Eighth Uncle had already come out of seclusion three months ago. This time he failed to form a core and was injured because of it."

"Is the injury severe?"

Hearing Song Song Yuanfang's words, Song Song Qingming's face suddenly sank, and he asked carefully and anxiously before opening the letter in his hand.

"The letter didn't say this, but I guess the Eighth Uncle might be seriously injured. If it wasn't a big deal, they should have said it directly in the letter." Song Song Yuanfang said with a helpless face.

After carefully scanning the letter in his hand, Song Song Qingming slowly put it away and said to Song Song Yuanfang to the side: "Song Yuanfang, I am going to Mount Mount Guyang now to figure this out. If there is anything urgent at home, just go find Huang Siyuan. She has been in seclusion cultivating in the cave dwelling recently."

After entrusting Song Song Yuanfang with a few words, Song Song Qingming turned and returned to his cave dwelling to pack up before leaving "Mount Mount Funiu" and directly stepping onto the flying boat to head toward the sect.

It had been three years since Song Song Xinyu went into seclusion to form a core, and there had been no news from "Mount Mount Guyang." Song Song Qingming thought that Song Song Xinyu might have passed the first level of core formation, the condensation of the core, and was not far from forming a core, secretly feeling happy for him.

Unexpectedly, at this time, he still suddenly heard the news of Song Song Xinyu's failure to form a core. Song Song Qingming, standing on the "Phantom Boat," also sighed helplessly in his heart.

Song Song Xinyu's lifespan was already nearly one hundred and eighty years old. This failure to form a core still required spending a lot of time to recuperate, and for him, the opportunity to form a core again was already very slim.

Although he knew that it was not easy for cultivators to form a core, hearing the news of Song Song Xinyu's failure to form a core, Song Song Qingming was not too surprised, but he was still somewhat regretful that he hadn't succeeded this time.

Song Song Xinyu had joined the Xiaoyao Sect for more than a hundred years. Although he hadn't been in the family these years, he still cared about the family's affairs in his heart.

When he had just established his foundation back then, the Song family was just a relatively ordinary Foundation Establishment family and didn't have much influence in the sect.

Whenever the family needed help from the sect, Song Song Xinyu would do his best to run errands and help inquire about news. Song Song Qingming's impression of this nephew had always been relatively good.

At this moment, Song Song Qingming also wanted to support Song Song Xinyu to form a core, but it was a pity that his cultivation hadn't been very smooth after reaching the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment, which delayed a lot of time for his core formation.

Until he was over one hundred and seventy years old, Song Song Xinyu reached the peak of Foundation Establishment and went into seclusion to form a core, which was several decades later than when Song Song Qingming and Song Song Qingyu first formed their cores.

If he wasn't seriously injured this time and could recover in a few years, Song Song Xinyu might have hope of forming a core again.

But if it was like when Song Song Qingming failed to form a core for the first time, directly injuring his dantian and meridians, it would take at least ten years to recover.

In this way, after Song Song Xinyu recovered from his injuries, his lifespan would be almost two hundred years old, which almost meant he had missed the last deadline for core formation, and Song Song Xinyu's future path would basically stop there.

After a long and arduous journey, he arrived at "Mount Mount Guyang." Just as Song Song Qingming was about to go find Song Song Xinyu, he unexpectedly ran into Fang Baixuan, who happened to be passing by.

"Senior Brother Song, how did you get free time to come to the sect today? Could it be that you are also here to congratulate Junior Sister Yun!" Seeing Fang Baixuan take the initiative to step forward and greet him, Song Song Qingming hurriedly returned the salute: "Junior Brother Fang, I heard a few days ago at Mount Mount Funiu that there was a celestial phenomenon of core formation in the sect. Is the Junior Sister Yun you mentioned the person who formed the core?"

"Hearing Senior Brother Song say this, it seems you are not very clear about this matter. Senior Brother is right, Junior Sister Yun succeeded in forming a core half a month ago..."

Seeing that Song Song Qingming didn't know this new Jin Dan cultivator of the sect, Fang Baixuan took the initiative to explain the other party's identity to Song Song Qingming in detail.

This sect disciple who had just formed a core was named Yun Nishang.

This woman not only had outstanding spiritual root talent and was a rare variant spiritual root cultivator, but she was also a direct disciple of another Jin Dan elder of the sect, Zhao Zhao Mengling. This was her first attempt to form a core, and unexpectedly, she successfully broke through to the Jin Dan realm.

Yun Nishang was just over a hundred years old this year and had already successfully formed a core and become a Jin Dan elder of the sect. She could be considered the fastest person to break through to Jin Dan in the "Xiaoyao Sect" in the last two hundred years since Bai Bai Yuxian.

After learning Yun Nishang's name from Fang Baixuan, Song Song Qingming remembered that he had met this woman once back then and couldn't help but feel somewhat emotional.

When the Song family held a Foundation Establishment celebration for Song Song Yuanhao back then, Yun Nishang had followed her master Zhao Zhao Mengling to "Mount Mount Funiu" to attend the celebration.

At that time, Song Song Qingming had just come out of the "Heavenly Tower" not long ago. In order to seek the incubation method for the "Ice Fire Jiao" spirit beast egg in his hand, he had even lowered himself to ask Yun Nishang, who was skilled in the way of beast taming, for advice.

When he saw Yun Nishang at that time, the other party's cultivation had just reached the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment not long ago. Besides being quite proficient in beast taming skills, she didn't leave much of an impression in Song Song Qingming's eyes.

Song Song Qingming didn't expect that the green-clothed woman who stood behind Zhao Zhao Mengling back then, whose cultivation and appearance were not too outstanding, had such good cultivation talent and had entered the Jin Dan realm so quickly.

"Junior Sister Yun has outstanding talent and has now successfully formed a core and become one of our peers. It is estimated that it won't be long before her cultivation surpasses me, this senior brother who formed a core a step earlier.

I just came out of seclusion and heard about this, and I was just about to go to Yunmeng Peak to congratulate her. Senior Brother Song happened to arrive here. If there is nothing urgent, why not go with me to sit at Senior Sister Zhao's place?"

Hearing Fang Baixuan's invitation, Song Song Qingming thought about it and didn't refuse, so he followed him to "Yunmeng Peak," where Zhao Zhao Mengling cultivated, and presented a congratulatory gift to Yun Nishang, who had just successfully formed a core.

Because he knew in advance that someone might form a core at "Mount Mount Guyang," Song Song Qingming had been prepared before coming and didn't lose etiquette because of the temporary visit to congratulate.

As a direct disciple of Zhao Zhao Mengling, Yun Nishang being able to form a core so quickly was naturally inseparable from the support of her master Zhao Zhao Mengling all the way.

Seeing Song Song Qingming and the other come to "Yunmeng Peak" to congratulate, Zhao Zhao Mengling was also very happy in her heart. She, who had been in seclusion recuperating for the past few years, also took the initiative to walk out of the cave dwelling and chatted and drank tea with Song Song Qingming and the others.

After obtaining a third-tier mid-quality "Recovery Pill" in the Wu Guo last time, after several years of seclusion recuperating, Zhao Zhao Mengling's injuries had also recovered a lot, and her complexion had changed significantly compared to before.

Plus, encountering the joyous event of her disciple successfully forming a core, Zhao Zhao Mengling's face was always filled with smiles, and in the eyes of others, she could no longer see anything unusual.

After staying at "Yunmeng Peak" for half a day, Song Song Qingming stood up to say goodbye and left, then went alone to the spirit mountain where Song Song Xinyu's cave dwelling was located nearby.

Just as he arrived outside Song Song Xinyu's cave dwelling, a young woman in a white long dress walked out quickly to greet him. Seeing Song Song Qingming's figure, she hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Song Linxi greets the Chen Chen Laozu!"

Seven years had passed, and Song Song Linxi not only had a much more mature face, but her cultivation had also reached the seventh layer of Qi Condensation from the fifth layer, which showed that she hadn't let down her dual-spirit-root aptitude.

"Is Song Xinyu inside?" After Song Song Qingming waved at Song Song Linxi in front of him, he asked softly again.

Hearing this, Song Song Linxi nodded immediately and replied: "Master is still in seclusion recuperating. Chen Chen Laozu, please go in and sit first. I have already sent Senior Brother and the others to invite Master out."

Song Song Qingming nodded slightly and entered the cave dwelling with Song Song Linxi. Before long, Song Song Xinyu, whose face was still somewhat pale, walked slowly to Song Song Qingming.

"Seventh Uncle! Why did you come suddenly? Song Yuanfang and the others didn't send a letter in advance to say anything!"

Upon meeting, Song Song Xinyu immediately stepped forward to salute, with a somewhat nervous smile on his face. Song Song Qingming's arrival was clearly somewhat unexpected to him.

"You said Song Yuanfang didn't send a letter, then why didn't you send a letter home when you came out of seclusion? You still need me to come here personally to confirm your situation." Just after Song Song Xinyu finished speaking, Song Song Qingming put down the teacup in his hand and immediately asked with a calm face.

"I was injured a bit during this seclusion, and I was afraid you would be worried, so I didn't tell the family in time, thinking of telling you after my injuries got better."

Hearing Song Song Xinyu's relaxed explanation, Song Song Qingming didn't speak, but stood up directly, placed his hand on Song Song Xinyu's head, closed his eyes, and used his spiritual sense to carefully investigate his body.

Seeing this, Song Song Xinyu didn't dare to move, only softly ordered the disciple beside him: "Song Linxi! I still have some words to say to the Chen Chen Laozu. You guys go out first if there is nothing!"

After Song Song Linxi and the others left for a long while, Song Song Qingming withdrew his spiritual sense and slowly opened his eyes.

"The injury to your dantian is not severe, and it should be healed after taking pills to recuperate for a year or two. But several meridians have been backlashed by the primordial energy. Even if you take pills, it will be difficult to recover as before in a short time, and it will take time to slowly recuperate.

I brought a few pills here, which are somewhat useful for healing meridians. You take them first. After a while, when your aunt goes to the East Sea, I will let her help find out if there are any pills that can help with your injuries."

After speaking, Song Song Qingming took out a green jade bottle he had prepared and placed it in Song Song Xinyu's hand.

Seeing the pills handed over by Song Song Qingming in his hand, Song Song Xinyu nodded somewhat awkwardly, and a smile was squeezed out on his face.

"Seventh Uncle, I know my injuries can't recover that fast. Please rest assured, I will just spend more time recuperating here. Nothing will happen! Although this seclusion to form a core failed, I have also thought through many things.

These years, I haven't been smooth on the path of cultivation, and I have been too persistent in my heart about cultivation, unknowingly walking the old path of the Third Uncle back then.

It is not okay to think about longevity and the Dao all my life. I also need to think more about things outside of cultivation. Fortunately, it is not too late for me to wake up now!

Seventh Uncle, please rest assured, I have already thought it through. The Jin Dan Great Dao is indeed somewhat difficult, and I might not have fate with it.

However, I still have plenty of time in this life to do what I want to do, and I will not leave too many regrets like the Third Uncle."

Hearing the words in Song Song Xinyu's mouth, a hint of relief slowly appeared on Song Song Qingming's originally calm face.

"Song Xinyu, it is not easy for you to think of these. Our path of cultivation and longevity is originally an act against the heavens. Whether it is the Third Brother or you, there is nothing wrong, but sometimes being too persistent makes it easy to lose sight of the direction forward.

You are right. Whether it is Foundation Establishment or Jin Dan, there will eventually be a day when we return to dust after a hundred years of cultivation. We cannot only have cultivation matters in our whole life; we still need to think more about other things.

However, you cannot easily give up your own path. Although most of those who can successfully make a name for themselves in the cultivation world are those with excellent talent, there are also many late bloomers.

Personal opportunity and the Heavenly Dao are hard to predict. Sometimes it might come a bit late!"

Song Song Xinyu smiled and said: "Hmm! Seventh Uncle, I have noted it."

"Then alright! I won't stay here too long. If there is anything, remember to send a letter home and don't always worry about other people's affairs.

Seventh Uncle has cultivated for more than two hundred years, and it's not like I haven't experienced any storms. Some things I know in my heart even if you don't say them, it's just a matter of knowing them sooner or later."

This time Song Song Qingming mentioned this matter again, Song Song Xinyu didn't show any awkwardness, nodded with a smile, and then said:

"Seventh Uncle! Although I need to recuperate now, it is still fine to go out and walk around. After you go back, tell Song Yuanfang that if there is anything in the family, just send me a letter!"

"There is nothing big at home recently. You just recuperate with peace of mind. Also, Song Linxi, this girl, has good talent. You must teach her well. If you are not free, you can also let Song Yuanrong and the others help. Do not delay her path."

Seeing Song Song Qingming mention Song Song Linxi outside, Song Song Xinyu immediately replied with a serious face: "Hmm! Song Linxi, that child, indeed has good talent, and her cultivation is also diligent. Not to mention forming a core in the future, establishing a foundation definitely won't be a problem.

Seventh Uncle, rest assured, I will definitely teach her well and will not let Song Linxi be worse than me in the future!"

"Hmm! With your words, I am relieved."

Song Song Qingming nodded with a relieved face, admonished Song Song Xinyu a few more times, and then said goodbye and left his cave dwelling. — Just as Song Song Qingming had just set off to return to "Mount Mount Funiu," on a small mountain not far outside "Chiyan Market" in Qinghe County, two streaks of light suddenly flew from not far away and landed on the top of the mountain, turning into two figures.

These two came riding the wind, and their bodies also emitted a layer of faint golden light, clearly Jin Dan cultivators with successful cultivation. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 717 =====
