Chapter 741: Life-and-Death Enemy, Bai Yuxian

"Nascent Soul Opportunity!"

Hearing the words from Feng He’s mouth, a look of surprise immediately appeared on Song Qingming’s face.

Although he had guessed that Feng He coming to find him suddenly must have something to do, Song Qingming never expected that the other party would say he wanted to give him a Nascent Soul opportunity.

Song Qingming’s current cultivation has reached the peak of the seventh level of Golden Core. Barring any accidents, he will certainly be able to cultivate to the ninth level of Golden Core. For the Song Qingming of the future, he will certainly try to impact the Nascent Soul realm.

It’s just that the fourth-level spiritual items that can help cultivators break through to Nascent Soul in the immortal cultivation world are basically controlled by those large Nascent Soul sects and are not something that can be found in ordinary places.

It is too difficult for Song Qingming to find a Nascent Soul opportunity in a place with barren resources like the Floating Cloud Mountain Range. Basically, there is no such possibility.

For Song Qingming, if he wants to impact the Nascent Soul realm in the future, he will inevitably have to go to the "Donghuang Kingdom" immortal cultivation world or find opportunities elsewhere.

But no matter where Song Qingming wants to find opportunities in the future, the precious spiritual items that can assist in breaking through to Nascent Soul are definitely not easy to obtain. Having cultivated for so many years, he naturally has a deep understanding of this.

Although Song Qingming is not short of cultivation resources at present, he has never had much confidence in whether he will have the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul in the future.

Hearing suddenly that Feng He wants to give him a Nascent Soul opportunity, Song Qingming is very surprised on one hand, and on the other hand, he also has some doubts about this matter in his heart.

Although Feng He is already a Nascent Soul cultivator, the other party’s current identity is also just a loose cultivator who has been reborn through possession, and there are not many resources he can use. It is not easy to support a cultivator in forming a Nascent Soul.

Seeing Song Qingming looking at him with a surprised face, Feng He nodded with a smile again: "You heard it right, what I said is a Nascent Soul opportunity.

However, I will tell you in advance that this opportunity is a bit 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 Dao of cultivation, have long had no other way out. If you want to talk about the determination to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, I certainly have it.

Based on Senior Feng He’s understanding of me, you shouldn't doubt my heart of seeking the Dao! However, since Senior said this opportunity is a bit dangerous, I must certainly listen to what this danger is and weigh it before making a reply. If Senior is inconvenient to inform me because of this, then I will certainly not force it."

Feng He heard this, slowly put away the smile at the corner of his mouth, his face became a bit serious, and he spoke directly to Song Qingming: "I know a place where I can find a spiritual item that assists in forming a Nascent Soul, and I can also take you in.

However, after going in, you have to help me kill someone by the way. As long as you can kill this person and escape safely, even if you didn't grab that Nascent Soul-forming spiritual item inside, I will find a way to compensate you in the future.

Moreover, after the matter is done, I can also give you a copy of my insights on forming a Nascent Soul back then. This is not something that can be bought in ordinary places.

Brother Song, I have dealt with you for so many years. I have never broken the promises I should have fulfilled. 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 spoke again:

"What Senior Feng He said, I naturally trust. You can rest assured on this point. However, I still have a question and hope Senior can inform me first.

The person Senior wants me to kill, what is his cultivation base, and does he have any powerful divine abilities or magic treasures?"

Hearing the doubt raised by Song Qingming, Feng He smiled: "This person’s cultivation is not high. He has just broken through to the late stage of Golden Core not long ago, and should be about the same as you.

However, he comes from a Nascent Soul sect after all, so his divine abilities and magic treasures must not be weak. If you fight him now, I estimate you can only fight to a draw.

But rest assured, I have something in my hand that can easily crack his cultivation technique. As long as you use this item, killing him should not be a problem."

"It’s just a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. Senior Feng He wants to kill this person, so it should be easy. Why do you need to borrow my hand? Could it be that Senior’s real target is not this person?"

Seeing Song Qingming staring at him with a puzzled face, Feng He gave a light laugh and sighed: "Hehe! I didn't want to tell you directly, but you brat are 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 you will certainly be able to lure the person behind him out. By then, I will 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 ruin my years of careful planning."

"In this way, the person behind him should be a Nascent Soul cultivator. If I am not mistaken, he should be the enemy who harmed Senior back then."

When he met Feng He back then, Song Qingming also knew that the other party 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 wouldn't necessarily have been able to cultivate back to the Nascent Soul realm now.

For so many years, although Feng He had never mentioned anything about his enemy in front of Song Qingming, Song Qingming could almost feel a deep hatred from him at all times.

Now that Feng He has returned to the Nascent Soul realm for many years, and is suddenly carefully planning to take action against a Nascent Soul cultivator, Song Qingming doesn't find it difficult to guess that his intention in doing this should be to avenge his grievances.

Hearing what Song Qingming said, Feng He nodded directly with a serious face: "You said it right. He is the greatest enemy of my life. My physical body was destroyed, and I have lived a life of humiliation for so many years, and finally, I didn't hesitate to take the path of possession, all because of 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 hatred to relieve my hatred.

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, Feng He was gnashing his teeth in his words, and the hatred he had suppressed for many years was immediately released. 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 Feng He’s hatred for this enemy in his heart would be so deep.

A Nascent Soul cultivator like Feng He has long stood at the top of an immortal cultivation world, and his life back then must have been incomparably glorious.

Suddenly being plotted against by someone and having his physical body destroyed, hiding in the dark for hundreds of years with his primordial spirit drifting without a place to stay, it is understandable to have resentment.

However, being able to make him have such deep hatred is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people. I am afraid that what happened to him back then was not as simple as Song Qingming thought before.

Seeing Feng He staring at him, expecting an answer, Song Qingming bowed to him with a solemn face: "I promised Senior back then that if I had the ability to help you avenge, I would definitely do my best.

Since this person is Senior’s life-and-death enemy, regardless of whether there is this Nascent Soul opportunity or not, I am willing to accompany Senior on this trip.

It’s just that I came out in a hurry today, and there are still things at home that haven't been explained well. I hope Senior can allow me some time to arrange family affairs before coming to meet with Senior."

Regarding helping Feng He avenge, Song Qingming did indeed say it back then. Since Feng He took the initiative to come to his door this time, even without this Nascent Soul opportunity, Song Qingming would probably also agree to do his best for 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 is why he took out a Nascent Soul opportunity as soon as he came up to win over Song Qingming to help.

Being able to have the opportunity to obtain a Nascent Soul opportunity and also help old friend Feng He avenge his grievances and fulfill his promise back then, for Song Qingming, although it is a bit dangerous, it is already worth him opening his mouth to agree to the other party.

The only thing that makes him a bit worried is that the other party is also a Nascent Soul cultivator. How much certainty Feng He has in his plan to succeed, Song Qingming really can't say for sure.

However, opportunities in the immortal cultivation world are always accompanied by risks. No matter what choice Song Qingming makes, it is impossible to easily obtain what he wants without taking any risks.

Song Qingming has cultivated for so many years, and he naturally understands this point very well.

"Good! Brother Song, you really didn't let me down." Hearing Song Qingming’s answer, Feng He immediately showed a look of joy and nodded repeatedly with a happy face.

Following that, Feng He took out a golden spirit talisman from his body, threw it directly to Song Qingming, and continued:

"Brother Song, from today on, if there are no outsiders present, you and I will address each other as brothers. Don't call me Senior anymore.

From now on, your business, Brother Song, 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 come to see you.

Rest assured, Brother, 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 is not so urgent. When the time comes, I will naturally notify you in advance."

"Rest assured, Brother Feng He, since I have promised you, I will definitely not go back on my word." After Song Qingming took the spirit talisman and glanced at it, he decisively put it away directly.

"That’s good! Since this matter is agreed upon, I won't delay your time, Brother. I hope that when we meet next time, your cultivation can advance further."

After talking with Song Qingming, Feng He felt much more relaxed at this moment. After bowing and saying goodbye, he immediately turned into an escape light and submerged into the large white bird not far away. Then, Feng He controlled this Nascent Soul "puppet beast" and cast a spell to take the black cloud beside him to escape to the distance, leaving only Song Qingming standing in place calmly looking at the direction he left.

By the time the black cloud in the distance had completely disappeared from his eyes, Song Qingming took out the "Phantom Boat" and stepped on it, then turned into a white escape light and disappeared from the spot.

From the time Song Qingming fought with Feng He to his departure, it didn't take long. By the time Song Qingming caught up with the large flying boat, they were still hundreds of miles away from "Mount Guyang."

Seeing Song Qingming return safely, the people who were controlling the flying boat breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly opened the array to welcome him onto the flying boat.

After returning, facing everyone’s doubts about what happened before, Song Qingming directly found an excuse, saying that he had encountered a Golden Core thunder beast that had broken into this place by mistake, and after a great battle, he had sent it away.

Although high-grade demonic beasts rarely appear near "Mount Guyang," it is not that there have been no cases of outside Golden Core demon kings breaking into this place by mistake over the years.

The "Carefree Sect" disciples below dared not doubt the words spoken by this Golden Core elder Song Qingming, so they nodded and agreed, and even stepped forward to thank him.

If Song Qingming hadn't accompanied them today, relying only on these people to control the flying boat, it would certainly have been difficult to get rid of the pursuit of the Golden Core thunder beast, and there might even have been a possibility of dying here.

Now that they had finally escaped the danger, they naturally had to step forward to thank him properly.

After safely delivering the flying boat to "Mount Guyang," Song Qingming went to the sect’s "Affairs Hall" to find Xu Ziyan again, wanting to hand over this matter to her in person.

However, it was a pity that Xu Ziyan had just gone to the East Sea with Chen Xuanxin half a month ago, causing Song Qingming to make a wasted trip.

Fortunately, before Xu Ziyan left, she had entrusted all the affairs of the sect’s Affairs Hall to the sect’s newly formed Golden Core elder, Yun Nishang, and she also had instructions for Song Qingming to return the sect’s flying boat.

The "Carefree Sect" has always been relatively loose in its management of the immortal cultivation families above Foundation Establishment under its command, and usually does not ask about things within their territory.

As long as it does not touch the fundamental interests of the sect and spiritual items are handed over to the sect’s "Affairs Hall" on time, the sect will provide the protection that these immortal cultivation families should have.

As for the immortal cultivation families under their command wanting to expand their territory outward, this is something beneficial to the entire Weiguo immortal cultivation world. As long as you have this strength, the sect will not oppose it either.

This time, the Song family expanded their territory to the north and captured "White Lion Ridge" from the demonic beasts. The sect’s "Affairs Hall" side was also very supportive, only charging them for the spirit stones for renting the flying boat, and did not ask the Song family for a single spirit stone for the other cultivators sent to help control the flying boat.

However, this time the family successfully captured so many spiritual mountain territories and made a big profit, so Song Qingming did not skimp and proactively took out more than a thousand spirit stones to distribute to them as a thank you.

Song Qingming returned the flying boat to the sect’s "Affairs Hall." 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 capturing "White Lion Ridge," the Song family had just expanded their territory by thousands of miles to the north, and everywhere needed to open mountains and build. Family affairs also increased a lot all of a sudden.

Song Qingyu was still going to garrison "White Lion Ridge" for a long time with several family Foundation Establishment elders, and "Mount Funiu" side only relied on Song Yuanfang and Song Yuanqian and others, which seemed a bit too busy for a while.

For this reason, this ancestor Song Qingming had no way to hide on the top of the mountain for closed-door cultivation and could only run between "White Lion Ridge" and "Mount Funiu" frequently to help transport cultivators and handle some family affairs.

This continued for more than a year. As the demonic beasts near "White Lion Ridge" were slowly cleared, the spiritual mountains nearby were basically all distributed by the family.

These spiritual mountains of various sizes 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 demonic beasts, and there were still many places that had not been explored and looted, hiding many spiritual items, which also attracted many loose cultivators from other parts of Weiguo and some outside cultivators to come here to find opportunities.

In order to retain these outside cultivators, the Song family not only opened up thousands of cave dwellings at "White Lion Ridge to rent to these loose cultivators, but also built a new market on this third-level spiritual vein to provide them with a lot of convenience.

Originally, "Golden Mountain Market" was remote and far from the depths of the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, so the number of cultivators choosing to enter the Floating Cloud Mountain Range from here had always been small, and generally only cultivators from the nearby few counties would come here.

Now that the Song family has expanded their territory to the north, the newly occupied "White Lion Ridge" is closer to the north than the previous "Golden Mountain Market," and entering the Floating Cloud Mountain Range from here is not much further than places like "Guiyun Market" and "Tuoyun Mountain."

Therefore, the number of cultivators coming here to hunt demonic beasts has also doubled compared to the original "Golden Mountain Market," which also made the newly built "White Lion Market" of the Song family lively.

Nearby immortal cultivation families and loose cultivator forces, seeing the prosperous development prospects of "White Lion Market," came to the market one after another to open shops, wanting to eat the dividends of this wave of the Song family’s development.

Even the sect’s "Affairs Hall" sent people to "Mount Funiu" to discuss cooperation matters with the Song family, wanting to buy shares in "White Lion Market" and operate this market together with the Song family.

In this regard, Song Qingming did not refuse. After some discussion with Xu Ziyan, who came to the door personally, he proactively took out 40% of the market’s shares to give to the sect’s "Affairs Hall" and operated "White Lion Market" together with the sect.

After the sect’s "Affairs Hall" bought shares, the development of "White Lion Market" immediately ushered in another wave of explosion, and the number of shops in the entire market also expanded several times.

Not only did the immortal cultivation forces near the Song family come here to open shops one after another, but even shops with some reputation in other large markets in Weiguo, such as "Tiandan Pavilion," also followed suit and opened their branches at "White Lion Market."

In just two years, the scale of shops in "White Lion Market" had reached more than three hundred, which had already exceeded the Song family’s "Red Flame Market" and could already be compared to large markets like "Tuoyun Mountain" and "Iron Immortal Castle."

After the sect’s "Affairs Hall" bought shares, they also sent out hundreds of cultivators to help garrison the market all year round, which also made the Song family’s shortage of manpower much easier, and even Golden Core ancestor Song Qingyu could occasionally return to the family.

A third-level array was set up on "White Lion Ridge," with more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than three hundred Qi Refining stage cultivators stationed there all year round, so ordinary demon kings were not enough to fear.

Even if a Great Demon King like the "Giant Elephant Demon King" came, it would be impossible to break through the array quickly in a short period of time.

And the distance between the Song family’s "Mount Funiu" and "White Lion Ridge" is not too far. Golden Core cultivators can arrive in less than an hour at full speed, and if there is any change, it is enough to come to support.

Just when the Song family was wholeheartedly operating the "White Lion Ridge" market, in a cave dwelling on the top 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.

As early as before the demonic beast turmoil, Bai Yuxian, the "Carefree 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 a change occurred at "Golden Feather Mountain" at that time, and the demonic beast power in the north increased greatly, causing the sect to suddenly encounter a crisis that was rare in a thousand years.

In order to protect the sect and resist the invasion of demonic beasts, Bai Yuxian and Supreme Elder Li Mufeng discussed and decided to postpone her time for closed-door cultivation to form the Nascent Soul, which delayed her impact on the Nascent Soul realm for more than ten years.

However, some sacrifices in Bai Yuxian’s personal Dao path finally lived up to expectations, winning a great victory for the "Carefree Sect" over the demonic beasts and overcoming this crisis, which could be considered as not wasting her time in vain.

After the demonic 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 closed-door cultivation to impact the realm and form the Nascent Soul.

For Bai Yuxian’s impact on the Nascent Soul realm, "Carefree 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 immortal cultivation world, using two fourth-level spiritual medicines matured in the sect’s spirit medicine garden to exchange for a spiritual item that assisted in forming the 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.

With the experience of the last breakthrough failure, plus the fact that she was a cultivation genius with heavenly spiritual roots, Bai Yuxian’s formation of the Nascent Soul this time was obviously much smoother than the last time.

After more than ten years of closed-door cultivation, at this time, she had already successfully tempered all the magic power in her body into the natal Golden Core in her dantian. The next step was the most critical step: fetal transformation of the Golden Core into the Nascent Soul.

As long as she passed this hurdle, she would be able to take this crucial step of forming the Nascent Soul. Next, as long as she survived the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation lowered by the Heavenly Dao, she would be able to successfully advance to the Nascent Soul realm.

However, this most critical step of fetal transformation into the Nascent Soul is not so easy to walk through. Once any mistake occurs, it will be light if the inner core meridians are damaged like Yao Gianshu back then, and it will take at least decades to recover from the injuries.

If she is unlucky, it may also lead to the shattering of the Golden Core and the falling of her own cultivation realm. It will not be so easy to cultivate back and impact the Nascent Soul realm again.

At this moment, Bai Yuxian also knew 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 road ahead was extremely dangerous after taking this step, she still did not hesitate too much and, without looking back, directly drew the magic power accumulated in the Golden Core in her body to start trying to transform the fetus into the Nascent Soul.

As Bai Yuxian took this critical step, the sky above the entire "Mount Guyang" suddenly began to roll with white clouds, and countless spiritual energy began to pour madly into the cave dwelling where Bai Yuxian was in closed-door cultivation.
