Chapter 741
"Nascent Soul opportunity!"
Hearing the words from Feng He's mouth, a trace of surprise immediately appeared on Song Qingming's face.
Although he guessed that Feng He coming to find him suddenly must have something going on, Song Qingming never expected that the opponent would actually say he wanted to give him a Nascent Soul opportunity.
Song Qingming's current cultivation had reached the peak of the seventh layer of Jin Dan, and unsurprisingly, he would definitely be able to cultivate to the ninth layer of Jin Dan. For Song Qingming in the future, he would definitely have to try to impact the Nascent Soul realm.
It was just that the fourth-tier spirit items in the cultivation world that could help cultivators break through to Nascent Soul were basically controlled by those large Nascent Soul sects and were not things that could be found in ordinary places.
It was too difficult for Song Qingming to find a Nascent Soul opportunity in a place with barren resources like the Floating Yunshan Range, and basically, there was no such possibility.
For Song Qingming, if he wanted to impact the Nascent Soul realm in the future, he would inevitably still have to go to the "Donghuang Country" cultivation world or find a way to seek opportunities elsewhere.
But no matter where Song Qingming wanted to seek opportunities in the future, the precious spirit items that could assist in breaking through to Nascent Soul were definitely not easy to obtain. Having cultivated for so many years, he naturally had deep experience in this.
Although Song Qingming currently did not lack cultivation resources, he had always had little confidence in whether he would have the opportunity to condense a Nascent Soul in the future.
Hearing suddenly that Feng He wanted to give him a Nascent Soul opportunity, Song Qingming was on one hand very surprised, and on the other hand, he also had some doubts about this matter in his heart.
Although Feng He was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, the opponent's current identity was only a loose cultivator who had been reborn through possession, and he did not have many resources to utilize. Supporting a cultivator to form a Nascent Soul was not an easy thing.
Seeing Song Qingming looking at him with surprise, Feng He nodded with a smile again: "You didn't hear wrong, I am talking about a Nascent Soul opportunity.
However, I will tell you in advance that this opportunity is somewhat dangerous for you and is not so easy to obtain. Whether you want to listen or not depends on whether you have this determination."
"We people who seek the Dao, since we have chosen to enter the path of cultivation, have long had no other way out. If you want to talk about the determination to break through the Nascent Soul realm, this junior definitely has it.
Based on Senior Feng He's understanding of this junior, you shouldn't doubt this junior's heart for seeking the Dao! However, since Senior said this opportunity is somewhat dangerous, this junior definitely has to listen to what this danger is and deliberate on it before making a reply. If it is inconvenient for Senior to inform me, then this junior will definitely not force it."
Feng He, upon hearing this, slowly put away the smile on the corner of his mouth, his expression became somewhat serious, and he directly said to Song Qingming: "I know a place where you can find a spirit item that assists in condensing a Nascent Soul, and I can take you in.
However, after going in, you have to kill someone for me by the way. As long as you can kill this person and escape safely, even if you don't snatch that Nascent Soul-forming spirit item inside, I will find a way to compensate you in the future.
Moreover, after the matter is done, I can also give you another copy of my insights on condensing a Nascent Soul back then, which is not something that can be bought in ordinary places.
Little Brother Song, I have dealt with you for so many years, the promises that should be fulfilled have never been broken. You should be able to trust me on this point!"
Seeing Feng He propose that he help him kill someone, the expression on Song Qingming's face did not change much. After thinking slightly, he opened his mouth again:
"What Senior Feng He said, this junior naturally trusts. You can rest assured on this point. However, this junior still has a question and hopes Senior can inform me first.
The person Senior wants me to behead, what is his cultivation, and does he have any formidable divine abilities or magic treasures?"
Hearing the doubt raised by Song Qingming, Feng He smiled slightly: "This person's cultivation is not high, he just broke through to the late-stage Jin Dan not long ago, and should be about the same as you.
However, he is after all from a Nascent Soul sect, so his divine abilities and magic treasures are definitely not weak. I estimate that you can only fight to a draw if you fight him now.
But rest assured, I have something in my hand that can easily break his cultivation technique. As long as you use this item, beheading him should not be a problem."
"He is just a late-stage Jin Dan cultivator, Senior Feng He wants to kill this person, it's just a matter of reaching out and grabbing. Why do you need to borrow this junior's hand? Could it be that Senior's true target is not this person."
Seeing Song Qingming staring at him with doubt, Feng He chuckled and sighed: "Hehe! I didn't want to tell you directly, but you kid is sometimes really difficult to deal with. Alright! Since the words have reached this point, I don't need to hide it from you anymore.
You guessed right, my target is not him, but the person behind him. You only need to kill this person, and it will definitely be able to lure out the person behind him. At that time, I have my own way to deal with him.
These people are old foxes who have cultivated for many years and are not so easy to be fooled. If I take action personally, the person behind him will definitely notice, which might cause my years of careful planning to be destroyed in one day."
"In that case, the person behind him should be a Nascent Soul cultivator. If this junior guessed right, he should be the enemy who plotted against Senior back then."
Meeting Feng He back then, Song Qingming also knew that the opponent had been harmed by someone, which led to his physical body being destroyed and only his primordial spirit left for possession. If he hadn't happened to meet Song Qingming, he probably wouldn't have been able to re-cultivate back to the Nascent Soul realm now.
For so many years, although Feng He had never mentioned the matter concerning his enemy in front of Song Qingming, Song Qingming could almost feel a deep hatred from him at all times.
Now that Feng He had returned to the Nascent Soul realm for many years, and now suddenly carefully planned to take action against a Nascent Soul cultivator, Song Qingming did not find it difficult to guess that his intention for doing this should be to avenge his grievances.
Hearing what Song Qingming said, Feng He nodded directly with a serious expression: "You said it right, he is the greatest enemy of my life. My physical body was destroyed and I lived a miserable life for so many years, and in the end, I didn't hesitate to take the path of possession, all caused by this person.
For so many years, I have wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin day and night. No matter what my cultivation path is in this life, I must avenge this grievance to be relieved.
Little Brother Song, there are not many people I can trust in my life. If you can agree to help me avenge, no matter what happens in the future, I will remember this favor of yours for the rest of my life."
When talking about this enemy of his, the hatred that had been suppressed for many years in Feng He's words was also immediately released, and his eyes were full of fierceness, as if he couldn't wait to cut that person into a thousand pieces immediately.
Song Qingming, who was seeing Feng He like this for the first time, was also somewhat shocked in his heart. Even though they had known each other for many years, Song Qingming did not expect that the resentment Feng He had toward this enemy in his heart was actually so deep.
A Nascent Soul cultivator like Feng He had long stood at the top of a cultivation world, and he must have lived a very glorious life back then.
Suddenly being plotted against and having his physical body destroyed, living a bitter life of drifting without a home for hundreds of years, it was understandable to have resentment.
However, being able to make him have such deep hatred was indeed somewhat beyond the imagination of ordinary people. I am afraid that what happened to him back then was not as simple as Song Qingming had thought before.
Seeing Feng He staring at him, expecting an answer, Song Qingming bowed to him with a solemn expression: "This junior promised Senior back then that if I had the ability to help you avenge, this junior would definitely do my best.
Since this person is Senior's mortal enemy, regardless of whether there is this Nascent Soul opportunity or not, this junior is willing to accompany Senior on this trip.
It's just that, coming out in a hurry today, there are still things at home that haven't been explained well, so I hope Senior can allow me some time to arrange family affairs before coming to meet with Senior."
Regarding the matter of helping Feng He avenge, Song Qingming had indeed said it back then. This time Feng He took the initiative to come to the door, even without this Nascent Soul opportunity, Song Qingming would most likely have agreed to do his best to help him.
However, in Feng He's heart, the words Song Qingming said casually to save his life back then were naturally not taken to heart, which was why he took out a Nascent Soul opportunity as soon as he came to win over Song Qingming to help.
Being able to have the opportunity to obtain a Nascent Soul opportunity and also help his old friend Feng He avenge his grievances and fulfill the promise he made back then, for Song Qingming, although it was somewhat dangerous, it was already worth him opening his mouth to agree to the opponent.
The only thing that made him somewhat worried was that the opponent was also a Nascent Soul cultivator. How much certainty Feng He had in his planning to succeed, Song Qingming really couldn't say.
However, opportunities in the cultivation world always go hand in hand with risks. No matter what choice Song Qingming made, it was impossible to obtain what he wanted without taking any risks.
Song Qingming had cultivated for so many years, and he naturally understood this point very clearly.
"Good! Little Brother Song, you really didn't disappoint me." Hearing Song Qingming's answer, a look of joy immediately appeared on Feng He's face, and he nodded repeatedly with a happy face.
Immediately afterward, Feng He took out a golden spirit talisman from his body and threw it directly to Song Qingming, continuing to say:
"Little Brother Song, from today on, if there are no outsiders present, you and I can address each other as brothers, don't call me any senior anymore.
From now on, Little Brother Song's business is my business. Please keep this talisman well. If you have anything to find me in the future, just urge this spirit talisman, and I will naturally rush to see you.
Little Brother, rest assured, I only came to set it with you this time. The matter of revenge still needs to be prepared for a period of time before it can be carried out, it's not that urgent. When the time comes, I will naturally notify you in advance."
"Big Brother Feng He, rest assured, since this junior has promised you, I will definitely not go back on my word." Song Qingming, after taking the spirit talisman and glancing at it, decisively put it away directly.
"That's good! Since this matter has been agreed upon, I won't delay Little Brother's time. I hope that when we meet next time, your cultivation can advance further."
After talking with Song Qingming, Feng He felt much more refreshed in his heart. After bowing and saying goodbye, he immediately transformed into an escape light and submerged into the large white bird not far away. Afterward, Feng He controlled this Nascent Soul "puppet beast" and cast a spell to take the black cloud group beside him to flee into the distance, leaving only Song Qingming standing in place calmly looking at the direction he left.
After the black clouds in the distance had completely disappeared from his eyes, Song Qingming took out the "Phantom Boat" and stepped on it, then transformed into a white escape light and disappeared from the spot.
From Song Qingming fighting with Feng He to leaving, there was not much time. By the time Song Qingming caught up with the large flying boat, they were still a few hundred miles away from "Mount Guyang."
Seeing Song Qingming return safe and sound, everyone who was controlling the flying boat breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly opened the formation to welcome him onto the flying boat.
After returning, Song Qingming, facing everyone's doubts about what happened before, directly found an excuse, saying that he had encountered a Jin Dan thunder beast that had broken into this place by mistake, and after a great battle, it had been sent away by him.
Although high-tier demon beasts rarely appeared near "Mount Guyang," it was not that such things as Jin Dan demon kings from outside breaking into this place by mistake had not happened in so many years.
The words spoken by Song Qingming, this Jin Dan elder, how could these "Xiaoyao Sect" disciples below dare to doubt? They immediately nodded and agreed, and even stepped forward to thank him.
If it weren't for Song Qingming accompanying them today, relying solely on these people to control the flying boat, it would definitely be very difficult to shake off the pursuit of the Jin Dan thunder beast, and they might even have been buried here.
Now that they had finally escaped danger, they naturally had to step forward to thank him properly.
After safely delivering the flying boat to "Mount Guyang," Song Qingming went to find Xu Cheng Ziyan at the sect's "General Affairs Hall" personally, wanting to hand over this matter to her in person.
However, it was a pity that Xu Cheng Ziyan had just gone to the East Sea with Chen Xuanxin half a month ago, making Song Qingming make a wasted trip.
Fortunately, before Xu Cheng Ziyan left, she had already entrusted all the matters of the sect's General Affairs Hall to the sect's newly established Jin Dan elder, Yun Nishang, and she also had instructions regarding Song Qingming returning the sect's flying boat.
The "Xiaoyao Sect's" management of the cultivation families under its command above Foundation Establishment had always been relatively loose, and they basically would not ask about matters within their territory on a daily basis.
As long as it did not touch the fundamental interests of the sect and they handed over spirit items to the sect's "General Affairs Hall" on time, the sect would provide the protection that these cultivation families should have.
As for the cultivation families under their command wanting to expand their territory outward, this was originally a matter beneficial to the entire Wei Country cultivation world. As long as you had this strength, the sect would naturally not oppose it.
This time the Song family expanded its territory northward and captured "Bai Shiling" from the demon beasts, the sect's "General Affairs Hall" was also very supportive, only collecting the spirit stones for them renting the flying boat, and did not ask for a single spirit stone from the Song family for the other cultivators sent to help control the flying boat.
However, this time the family successfully took down so many spirit mountain territories and made a big profit, so Song Qingming did not skimp and took the initiative to take out more than a thousand spirit stones to distribute to them as a thank you.
Song Qingming sent the flying boat back to the sect's "General Affairs Hall," and after the goods on it were unloaded, the handover was soon completed smoothly, and this large flying boat was returned to the sect.
After handling this matter, Song Qingming did not choose to stay at "Mount Guyang" for long and soon returned to Qinghe County alone.
After taking down "Bai Shiling," the Song family had just expanded its territory northward by several thousand miles, and everywhere needed to open up mountains and build, and there were suddenly many more family affairs.
Song Qingyu and several family Foundation Establishment elders still had to station at "Bai Shiling" for a long time, and on the side of "Mount Funiu," relying solely on Song Yuanfang and Song Yuanqian and the others, it seemed somewhat busy and unable to cope for a time.
For this reason, Song Qingming, this ancestor, also had no way to hide on the mountaintop for closed-door cultivation and could only frequently run between "Bai Shiling" and "Mount Funiu," helping to transport cultivators and handle some family affairs.
This continued for more than a year. As the demon beasts near "Bai Shiling" were slowly cleaned up, the nearby spirit mountains were basically all distributed by the family.
These large and small spirit mountains were soon occupied by human cultivators who migrated from the south, and a large number of cultivators and mortals began to take root and multiply in this vicinity.
These newly expanded territories were just captured from the hands of demon beasts, and there were still many places that had not been explored and looted during the period, hiding many spirit items, which for a time also attracted many loose cultivators from other places in Wei Country, as well as some incoming cultivators to seek fortune here.
In order to be able to keep these incoming cultivators, the Song family not only opened up thousands of caves on "Bai Shiling" to rent to these loose cultivators but also built a new workshop on this third-tier spirit vein, providing them with quite a bit of convenience.
Originally, "Jin Shan Workshop," because it was located in a remote place and was far from the depths of the Floating Yunshan Range, had always had few cultivators choosing to enter the Floating Yunshan Range from this side, and generally, only cultivators from the several adjacent counties would come here.
Now that the Song family had expanded its territory northward, the newly occupied "Bai Shiling" was closer to the north than the previous "Jin Shan Workshop," and entering the Floating Yunshan Range from this side was not much farther than places like "Guiyun Workshop" and "Mount Tuoyun."
Therefore, the number of cultivators coming here to hunt demons also increased several times compared to the original "Jin Shan Workshop," which immediately made the "Bai Shifang" newly built by the Song family lively as well.
Nearby cultivation families and loose cultivator forces, after seeing the prosperous development prospects of "Bai Shifang," came to open shops in the workshop one after another, wanting to eat the dividend of this wave of the Song family's development.
Even the sect's "General Affairs Hall" sent people to "Mount Funiu" to discuss cooperation matters with the Song family, wanting to buy shares in "Bai Shifang" and operate this workshop together with the Song family.
Regarding this, Song Qingming did not open his mouth to refuse. After a discussion with Xu Cheng Ziyan, who came to the door personally, he took the initiative to take out forty percent of the workshop's shares and distribute them to the sect's "General Affairs Hall," operating "Bai Shifang" together with the sect.
After the sect's "General Affairs Hall" bought shares, the development of "Bai Shifang" immediately ushered in another wave of explosion, and the number of shops in the entire workshop also expanded several times.
Not only did the cultivation forces near the Song family come to open shops here one after another, but even in several other large workshops in Wei Country, shops with a small reputation like "Heavenly Pill Pavilion" also followed and opened their branches to "Bai Shifang."
In just two years, the scale of shops in "Bai Shifang" had reached more than three hundred, which had already exceeded the Song family's "Red Flame Workshop" and could already be comparable to large workshops like "Mount Tuoyun" and "Iron Immortal Castle."
After the sect's "General Affairs Hall" bought shares, they also sent out more than a hundred cultivators to help station in the workshop all year round, which also made the Song family much more relaxed in terms of insufficient manpower, and even Song Qingyu, this Jin Dan ancestor, could occasionally return to the family.
A third-tier formation was set up on "Bai Shiling," with more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than three hundred Qi Condensation cultivators stationed there all year round, so ordinary demon kings were simply not enough to fear.
Even if a great demon king like the "Giant Elephant Demon King" came, it would be impossible to break the formation quickly in a short time.
And the distance from the Song family's "Mount Funiu" to "Bai Shiling" was not too far, and Jin Dan cultivators could arrive in less than an hour at full speed. Once any changes occurred, it was enough to come and support.
Just as the Song family was wholeheartedly operating the "Bai Shiling" workshop, in a cave on the mountaintop of "Mount Guyang," Bai Yuxian, who was in closed-door cultivation impacting the Nascent Soul realm, had also reached the most critical moment of her breakthrough at this time.
As early as before the demon beast turmoil, Bai Yuxian, this "Xiaoyao Sect" Sect Master, had already adjusted her state and could go into closed-door cultivation to break through to Nascent Soul at any time.
It was just that at that time, changes occurred at "Golden Feather Mountain," and the demon beast power in the north increased greatly, causing the sect to suddenly encounter a crisis situation that was rare in a thousand years.
In order to guard the sect and resist the invasion of demon beasts, Bai Yuxian and the Supreme Elder Li Mufeng discussed and decided to postpone the time for her to go into closed-door cultivation to form a Nascent Soul, which delayed her time to impact the Nascent Soul realm for more than a dozen years.
However, some sacrifices in Bai Yuxian's personal path finally lived up to expectations, exchanging for the "Xiaoyao Sect's" great victory over the demon beasts and passing through this crisis, which could be considered not wasting her time in vain.
After the demon beast turmoil, Bai Yuxian also suffered some minor injuries, and it was not until a few years later that she fully adjusted her state and began to go into closed-door cultivation to impact the realm and condense a Nascent Soul.
Regarding Bai Yuxian impacting the Nascent Soul realm, the "Xiaoyao Sect" Supreme Elder Li Mufeng also did his best to support her with all his strength.
Not only did he personally go to the East Sea cultivation world and use two fourth-tier spirit medicines matured in the sect's spirit medicine garden to exchange for a spirit item that assisted in condensing a Nascent Soul for Bai Yuxian, but he also personally taught her many of his own experiences and insights from impacting the Nascent Soul realm back then.
Having the experience of the last breakthrough failure, plus the fact that she was a cultivation genius with a heaven spirit root, Bai Yuxian's condensation of a Nascent Soul this time was clearly much smoother than the last time.
After more than a dozen years of closed-door cultivation, at this time, she had already successfully tempered all the magic power in her body into the natal Jin Dan within her dantian. The next step was the most critical one, transforming the natal Jin Dan into a Nascent Soul.
As long as she passed this hurdle, she could take this crucial step of condensing a Nascent Soul. Next, as long as she survived the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation lowered by the Heavenly Dao, she could successfully advance to the Nascent Soul realm.
However, this most critical step of transforming the Jin Dan into a Nascent Soul was not so easy to pass. Once any mistake occurred, at best, like Yao Ganshu back then, the Jin Dan and meridians would be damaged, and it would take at least several decades to heal.
If she was unlucky, it might also lead to the shattering of the Jin Dan and the falling of her own cultivation realm. It would not be so easy to re-cultivate and impact the Nascent Soul realm again.
At this moment, Bai Yuxian also knew deeply that her opportunity to break through to Nascent Soul was hard-won, and she had long had no way out.
Although she knew that the path ahead was incomparably dangerous after taking this step, she still did not hesitate too much and, without looking back, directly drew the magic power accumulated in the Jin Dan in her body to begin attempting to transform the Jin Dan into a Nascent Soul.
Following Bai Yuxian taking this crucial step, the white clouds above the entire "Mount Guyang" also suddenly began to roll, and countless spiritual energy began to madly pour into the cave where Bai Yuxian was in closed-door cultivation. (End of chapter)
