Chapter 745: Spirit beast Ye Fengyuan, Wanling Dew (Seeking monthly tickets)
Seeing that He Wuyou did not want to stay, Li Mufeng did not force him, and together with Bai Yuxian, they bowed and sent him off, soon witnessing his departure from "Guyang Mountain."
After sending off the distinguished guest, Li Mufeng and Bai Yuxian came to Song Qingming and the others and brought everyone to the "Xiaoyao Hall," where the sect discusses matters not far away.
Now that Bai Yuxian has successfully passed the tribulation and reached the Nascent Soul realm, she no longer needs to sit in the lower seat with Song Qingming and the others, but sits in the center of the hall together with Li Mufeng.
In the lower seats are a group of Jin Dan Elders of the "Xiaoyao Sect," including Li Xianyun and Zhou Chen Ziyang, who came to help, also sitting on the side.
"Since Master passed away six hundred years ago, the sect has been handed over to me. All these years, I have been walking on thin ice, afraid that I would not be able to hold onto the foundation of the ancestors for thousands of years. Now, fortunately, Junior Sister Bai has condensed the Nascent Soul, and the sect finally has successors, and someone can help me share some heavy responsibilities.
From today on, Junior Sister Bai will serve as the Supreme Elder of the sect just like me. In the future, when I am not in the sect, Junior Sister Bai can decide on all matters, big and small, in the sect.
As for the Sect Master's affairs, they will be handled by Cheng Ziyan and Wutong together for the time being. We will discuss it with everyone after confirming a suitable candidate in the future!"
Just after Li Mufeng finished speaking, Song Qingming and a group of "Xiaoyao Sect" Elders hurriedly stood up and bowed to Bai Yuxian.
"Greetings to the Supreme Elder!"
Seeing this, Bai Yuxian hurriedly stood up and nodded to indicate, then waved to everyone, letting everyone sit down again.
Just after Li Mufeng announced the appointment of Bai Yuxian, he opened his mouth to Li Xianyun and Zhou Chen Ziyang on the side: "You two came to our sect to help protect the Dao this time, which is a kindness to our sect.
Next, please don't be in a hurry to leave; stay in the sect for a few days. Our sect has some small gifts to send, hoping you two won't mind."
"Thank you, Senior Li!" Li Xianyun and Zhou Chen Ziyang, upon hearing this, hurriedly stood up and bowed to thank him with a smile.
The two of them came to help this time, not just to protect the Dao, but also received some promises from the "Xiaoyao Sect." Hearing that Li Mufeng would soon fulfill his promises to them, the two of them also had a bit more joy on their faces at this moment.
After bowing to thank him, the two left with Xu Cheng Ziyan, the Elder of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, and went to the sect's Guest Peak to rest.
After the two outsiders, Li Xianyun and Zhou Chen Ziyang, left, Li Mufeng discussed with everyone again and decided to hold a "Nascent Soul Celebration" for Bai Yuxian, who had just condensed the Nascent Soul.
Regarding this, Bai Yuxian, who had always disliked these empty rituals, wanted to decline, but Li Mufeng was very insistent, and Song Qingming and the others below were also very supportive, so in the end, she could only nod and follow everyone's wishes.
However, now that she had just broken through to the Nascent Soul realm and still needed a period of time to stabilize her cultivation, the time for Bai Yuxian's "Nascent Soul Celebration" was set for one year later.
Learning that the sect was going to hold a "Nascent Soul Celebration" that is rare in a thousand years, everyone in the hall was also very expectant.
Now that Bai Yuxian has broken through to the Nascent Soul realm and the sect has two Nascent Soul cultivators, the status of the "Xiaoyao Sect" in the Floating Yunshan Range cultivation world will inevitably improve a lot, and the sect will also usher in a better development opportunity.
All the Jin Dan Elders present are people who have shared weal and woe with the sect. Everyone also knows very well that after the sect develops and grows, these people will more or less benefit from it.
After everyone discussed in the hall, Li Mufeng gave a few more instructions to Song Qingming and Zhang Tieyang, telling them to be careful and pay attention to the movements of the demon beasts in the north after returning.
Nowadays, although Bai Yuxian's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm has put huge pressure on the demon clan in the north.
However, the demon beast power in the entire Floating Yunshan Range cultivation world is stronger than the human side after all. If the "Mo Long Demon Emperor" finds some reinforcements from elsewhere, once they are negligent in defense, it will definitely allow the demon side to take advantage of the loophole.
Song Qingming nodded and agreed to a few words. Seeing that Li Mufeng had no other matters here, he and Huang Siyuan stood up to say goodbye, preparing to return to "Funiu Mountain" first.
Because the entire Guyang Mountain was sealed off when Bai Yuxian underwent tribulation, Song Qingming and the two had not received any news from the outside.
Now, having left the family territory for more than a month, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were also a bit worried about Song Qingyu, who was guarding "White Lion Ridge" alone, and wanted to go back quickly to see.
After leaving the "Xiaoyao Hall," Song Qingming had just taken out the "Phantom Boat" and was about to go up with Huang Siyuan when a voice suddenly came from behind, causing the two to stop their steps.
"Senior Brother Song, Junior Sister Huang, wait a moment!"
Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan turned around and happened to see Xu Cheng Ziyan rushing over from not far away. After showing a trace of surprise, they hurriedly put away the "Phantom Boat" in front of them first.
"We just said goodbye to Senior Uncle Li and are about to go back. I don't know what Junior Sister Xu is so anxious about?"
Xu Cheng Ziyan, who had just arrived beside Song Qingming and the two, bowed slightly in return after hearing this, then smiled and replied: "It is indeed a bit anxious to find you two, but it is not that Cheng Ziyan has something, but Senior Ye Fengyuan wants to see you."
"Oh! Senior Ye Fengyuan wants to see us? Does Junior Sister Xu know what it is?"
Hearing that it was the sect's spirit beast Senior Ye Fengyuan who wanted to see them, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan looked at each other, and a few traces of doubt appeared on their faces at the same time.
Since the previous master passed away, this Senior Ye Fengyuan in Xu Cheng Ziyan's mouth has been living in the "Xiaoyao Sect" spirit beast garden.
Apart from the "Guiyun Market" battle against the demon beast army decades ago and Bai Yuxian's Nascent Soul lightning tribulation this time, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan had never seen the other party, and for a while, they could not think of why that Senior Ye Fengyuan would suddenly want to see them.
Seeing the confusion on the two people's faces, Xu Cheng Ziyan immediately began to explain: "Don't blame me, Senior Brother Song. I actually don't know why Senior Ye Fengyuan wants to see you.
Just after sending off Fellow Daoist Li and the others, the disciple in charge of the sect's spirit beast garden took me to see Ye Fengyuan.
I also just learned from Senior that he wants to see you. As for what it is, Senior Ye Fengyuan did not tell me, only asking me to bring you to see him alone."
"Since Senior Ye Fengyuan has invited us, how can we be negligent? Please lead the way, Junior Sister Xu!"
After thinking for a moment, Song Qingming still could not think of why this Senior Ye Fengyuan, who never took the initiative to interact with the sect's Elders, wanted to see him, so he simply agreed, not wanting to struggle with it.
Anyway, the sect's "Spirit Beast Garden" is not far from here. Regardless of what the other party wants to find him for, once they arrive there and see that Senior Ye Fengyuan, they will naturally know.
Seeing Song Qingming agree, Huang Siyuan, standing beside him, did not say much, followed behind the two, and soon arrived at a valley with dense forests on the north side of "Guyang Mountain."
Having joined the "Xiaoyao Sect" for so many years, this was the first time Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan had come to the sect's "Spirit Beast Garden."
After arriving here, the two saw many various spirit beasts raised by the sect along the way, and their eyes were immediately attracted, unable to help but slow down their steps.
Although the "Xiaoyao Sect" is not a sect famous for beast taming, for thousands of years, the sect has also accumulated many techniques in beast taming, and it is much stronger than ordinary Jin Dan sects in the surroundings in taming spirit beasts.
Although the sect currently does not have a third-grade beast tamer, the accumulation of this foundation is still there. As long as they are willing to spend more time, they will definitely be able to cultivate another one.
The spirit beasts currently tamed in the sect's "Spirit Beast Garden," apart from a portion used for sale, are basically companion spirit beasts for the sect's Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation disciples, with low cultivation of only first or second grade.
The only third-grade spirit beast living here is the Ye Fengyuan Demon King who wants to see Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan this time.
Following Xu Cheng Ziyan into the spirit herb garden, the three walked for about four or five miles in the valley and finally arrived at a pool, seeing a green-armored ape that had been waiting here.
After bringing the two, Xu Cheng Ziyan immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the ape.
"Senior, these two are Senior Brother Song and Junior Sister Huang. You said you wanted me to find them, right?"
Ye Fengyuan, staring with big eyes, scanned Song Qingming, then set his gaze on Huang Siyuan, then spoke directly to Xu Cheng Ziyan: "Hmm! Not bad, it is her I am looking for. You two have nothing to do, so go wait on the side first!"
Seeing that Ye Fengyuan was actually looking for Huang Siyuan, Song Qingming and Xu Cheng Ziyan were both surprised. After looking at Huang Siyuan, who was also confused, the two chose to turn and retreat to the side.
Just after Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan left, Ye Fengyuan immediately cast a spell to release a transparent protective shield to separate the two from the outside, then asked: "That Red Flame Mouse with opened spiritual wisdom is your spirit beast, right? Let it out and let me see?"
"Is Senior talking about Red Flame?"
Hearing the Red Flame Mouse mentioned by Ye Fengyuan, Huang Siyuan immediately reacted, then patted the spirit beast bag at her waist and released the completely red "Red Flame" from inside.
After seeing "Red Flame" appear, a trace of excitement appeared on Ye Fengyuan's face, then he stepped forward and locked his gaze tightly on "Red Flame."
"Red Flame," who had just run out of the spirit beast bag, was preparing to act spoiled with its owner Huang Siyuan to ask for some delicious spiritual elixirs, but did not expect to suddenly see a giant ape not far away staring tightly at itself.
Just when it wanted to step forward to teach the other party a lesson, it suddenly discovered that this ape's strength was far above its own, and it was so scared that it hurriedly shrank behind Huang Siyuan. Ye Fengyuan, staring at Red Flame, seeing that the other party was a bit afraid of him, did not care about it and asked seriously: "What spiritual item did you eat to open your spiritual wisdom in advance?"
"What I ate has nothing to do with you; I didn't grab your things." Although Red Flame was very scared, hearing that the other party was asking about what it ate, it immediately opened its mouth to refuse.
Hearing Red Flame's unhappy answer, Ye Fengyuan did not show any surprise. With a wave of his hand, he took out a red bead from his body and said to "Red Flame":
"This is the Blazing Fire Bead I have treasured for many years. If you swallow it, you can at least increase your cultivation by twenty years. I will exchange it with you for some Wanling Dew; you won't be at a loss!"
"It really is the Blazing Fire Bead!" Seeing the red sphere in the other party's hand, it immediately showed a bit of greed with joy.
It's just that it didn't have the things the other party wanted, so "Red Flame" could only look at its owner Huang Siyuan pitifully, full of hope that she would agree to the other party.
From the beginning when Ye Fengyuan suddenly wanted to see "Red Flame," Huang Siyuan did not know his intention. Until the other party mentioned the matter of "Red Flame" opening its spiritual wisdom in advance, Huang Siyuan knew that Ye Fengyuan was aiming at the white liquid she and Song Qingming had found together back then.
In the battle to protect the Dao for Bai Yuxian before, Huang Siyuan faced a late-stage Jin Dan Demon King alone. Knowing that her strength was not as good as the opponent, she could only summon "Red Flame" to help, and only then barely blocked the opponent and persisted until the end of the battle.
At that time, Ye Fengyuan was forming a formation with Song Qingming, Li Wutong, and others to deal with the "Chi Yun Demon Emperor." The battlefield was not far away, and the difference between "Red Flame" and ordinary Demon Kings should have been seen by him at that time.
I didn't expect this Senior Ye Fengyuan to not only know that "Red Flame" had opened its spiritual wisdom in advance by devouring spiritual items, but also know the name of that white spiritual water, which made Huang Siyuan feel a bit surprised.
After thinking for a moment, Huang Siyuan took out a small white jade bottle from her body and asked Ye Fengyuan directly: "Senior, the Wanling Dew you mentioned, is it this thing?"
Seeing the white porcelain bottle in Huang Siyuan's hand, Ye Fengyuan was immediately overjoyed and nodded: "Not bad, what you are holding is Wanling Dew. Sure enough, you still have it on you. This time I am lucky to have really run into it.
If you are willing, I will exchange some spiritual water with the Blazing Fire Bead in my hand. Don't worry, the value of this thing is definitely not lower than the bit of spiritual water in your hand. Although I am a demon clan, there is no need to deceive you juniors."
Huang Siyuan, upon hearing this, nodded gently: "Senior Ye Fengyuan, please forgive me; I am not worried that Senior would deceive me.
It's just that since I obtained this thing, I have never known its use, only using it to feed my gluttonous spirit beast. Please, Senior, enlighten me. What is the use of this Hundred Spirit Water, and will there be any drawbacks after feeding it to the spirit beast? Please rest assured, Senior. If you can enlighten me, I can agree to exchange this bottle of spiritual water with you, and I will absolutely not go back on my word."
"This Wanling Dew is a rare thing in the world, generally only born in a very small number of water-attribute high-tier spiritual veins. After we spirit beasts swallow it, not only do we have the opportunity to open our spiritual wisdom in advance, but we can also strengthen our own physique and cultivation.
Just because this thing has great wonders for our demon clan, no matter where it is born, it will attract Jin Dan or even Nascent Soul experts of the demon clan to snatch it, so very few such spiritual waters flow outside.
I don't know where you got the luck to find this thing; it can be considered a bit of an opportunity for you.
It's just that although this thing is very useful to our demon clan, it is of no use to you humans. You used it to feed this little guy to open its spiritual wisdom in advance, which is not a waste of this thing.
I know you should have more than this small bottle of Wanling Dew on you. Why don't I make another deal with you! If you can give me two more bottles of spiritual water, I can give you a secret technique for refining Wanling Dew. This secret technique can help Jin Dan spirit beasts break through their realm, which is also of no small help to that little guy. You can consider it."
After Ye Fengyuan finished speaking, his gaze was locked tightly on Huang Siyuan, who was thinking, his face full of confidence, as if he had already determined that the other party must have more spiritual water and would not refuse the conditions he proposed.
Sure enough, after some consideration, Huang Siyuan nodded directly and asked: "Senior, does this refining method have any requirements? The difficulty shouldn't be too high, right!"
"Don't worry, refining this method is not difficult. I heard from that junior Cheng Ziyan that you are also a high-tier alchemist, so it is just a piece of cake for you."
After Ye Fengyuan finished speaking, he threw a very simple and ancient animal skin toward Huang Siyuan.
Huang Siyuan took the animal skin and opened it, discovering that what was recorded inside was exactly the secret technique for refining "Wanling Dew" that Ye Fengyuan had just mentioned. After carefully scanning it and seeing that what was recorded inside was exactly the same as what the other party said, she immediately put away the animal skin and nodded slightly to the other party.
Subsequently, Huang Siyuan cast a spell to take out two bottles of the same "Wanling Dew" and sent them together into the hands of Ye Fengyuan, who was already full of expectation.
"Senior, if you don't mind, I will keep this secret technique first. I will go to the Merit Pavilion to record it later and then return it to you."
Ye Fengyuan, who had obtained the "Wanling Dew," had most of his attention concentrated on the spiritual water in his hand and did not pay too much attention to the request made by Huang Siyuan, directly nodding and agreeing.
Seeing this, Huang Siyuan waved her hand to take "Red Flame" at her feet back into the spirit beast bag, then bowed slightly to Ye Fengyuan and took the initiative to leave the soundproof protective shield he had set up.
Song Qingming, who was chatting with Xu Cheng Ziyan not far away, saw Huang Siyuan walking over with a smile and hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "What exactly did Senior Ye Fengyuan want to see you for? Has it been handled?"
Huang Siyuan nodded, looked at Xu Cheng Ziyan, who was also curious on the side, and replied softly: "Senior Ye Fengyuan gave me a secret technique and asked me to help refine a spiritual item. It has already been negotiated with him.
You wait here for me for a moment; I will go to the Merit Pavilion to find an empty bamboo slip to record the secret recipe given by Senior, and I will be back in a while."
Hearing what Huang Siyuan said, Xu Cheng Ziyan on the side immediately took out a scroll of bamboo slips from her body and handed it over.
"I happen to have an empty bamboo slip here. Junior Sister Huang doesn't need to go to the Merit Pavilion so trouble. I don't know what kind of spiritual item Senior Ye Fengyuan wants to refine. Is it convenient for Junior Sister to tell me?"
Huang Siyuan, who took the bamboo slip, saw Xu Cheng Ziyan's curious expression and sighed slightly: "This thing is just a spiritual item related to improving Senior's cultivation.
However, Senior Ye Fengyuan has said not to let me spread it. Please forgive me, Senior Sister Xu. If Senior Sister has the opportunity in the future, you can ask Senior Ye Fengyuan yourself; perhaps he is willing to tell you."
"This... Hehe, Junior Sister, you know Senior Ye Fengyuan's temper. How dare I take the initiative to ask for trouble? I was just curious for a moment. Since Senior doesn't want others to know, then Junior Sister Huang should not tell anyone."
Xu Cheng Ziyan, upon hearing this, thought of the eccentric Senior Ye Fengyuan not far away and immediately smiled and shook her head.
Huang Siyuan, who obtained the empty bamboo slip, spent some time and soon recorded the secret technique given by Ye Fengyuan into the bamboo slip.
After returning the animal skin in her hand to Ye Fengyuan, Huang Siyuan took the initiative to say goodbye and left the sect's "Spirit Beast Garden" together with Song Qingming and Xu Cheng Ziyan.
"Senior Brother Song, Junior Sister Huang, I still have some things to do, so I won't see you off. Another day when you two are free, we will have a good chat over tea."
After walking out of the "Spirit Beast Garden," Xu Cheng Ziyan, who had already completed her mission, immediately bowed and said goodbye to the two.
After seeing Xu Cheng Ziyan off, Song Qingming directly took out the "Phantom Boat," took Huang Siyuan with him, and transformed into a white light, soon passing through the mountain-protecting formation and heading north.
After the flying boat left "Guyang Mountain" for a distance, Huang Siyuan took out the bamboo slip she had just recorded and handed it directly to Song Qingming, who was standing in front.
"Senior Ye Fengyuan didn't let you tell others; why give this thing to me?" Seeing the bamboo slip in Huang Siyuan's hand, Song Qingming recognized it at a glance and asked with some doubt.
Seeing this, Huang Siyuan chuckled and shook her head: "That's because Senior Sister Xu was there just now, and it was inconvenient for me to say some things. You will know why Senior Ye Fengyuan wanted to find me after reading this."
Song Qingming took the bamboo slip and placed it on his forehead to check it carefully, only to discover that this was a secret technique for refining spiritual water.
Before he could ask, Huang Siyuan immediately told Song Qingming everything that happened after seeing Ye Fengyuan in the sect's "Spirit Beast Garden," including the deal she reached with Ye Fengyuan.
"Wanling Dew, so this spiritual water is called this name."
After hearing Huang Siyuan's explanation, Song Qingming could not help but smile and shake his head: "I was really stupid. I only knew to ask human cultivators before, but didn't think that demon cultivators might know this thing better than us.
Exchanging three bottles of spiritual water for this secret recipe for refining spiritual water, you didn't suffer a loss in this deal with Senior Ye Fengyuan. This time I am going to take a bit of your light.
From now on, as long as we have sufficient spiritual water, the cultivation of these spirit beasts in the family can use this method to go further once they reach the Jin Dan stage, which can indeed improve a lot of their strength.
It's a pity that the spiritual water after refining can only be taken once; more is useless, otherwise these spirit beasts' cultivation would soon be able to keep up with us."
Song Qingming, holding the bamboo slip in his hand, after knowing the true use of "Wanling Dew," also had a bit of joy on his face and praised Huang Siyuan well.
"Whether it is for us human cultivators or demon cultivators, most of these spiritual items that can assist in breaking through cultivation have limitations. Otherwise, if you only need to swallow spiritual items to advance rapidly, who would be willing to sit down and practice hard.
Being able to obtain one this time is already good luck. Husband, you don't need to think about such good things. Although the cultivation of these spirit beasts is not as good as ours, as long as they reach the Jin Dan stage, they can be of help, so we don't need to demand too much from them."
As the two were talking, the "Phantom Boat" had slowly passed through ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers and arrived in Qinghe County.
Just when Song Qingming was operating the flying boat to return to the family spiritual land, the two standing on the flying boat saw from afar that the "Funiu Mountain" mountain-protecting formation had already been opened, and a trace of surprise immediately appeared on their faces.
