Chapter 759: Are You Satisfied, The Gilded Fruit Tree Advances

Hearing what Song Qingming said, and that he did not doubt her answer, Xu Qingyin's nervous heart finally felt much more at ease, and she hurriedly bowed:

"Thank you, senior, for believing in me. The junior came here this time only to seek pills to save someone and had no other thoughts. I hope the two seniors can fulfill the junior's wish."

Song Qingming saw this and nodded slightly: "Although a third-tier low-quality spirit talisman is still a bit short for exchanging for a third-tier Recovery Pill, since you can be loyal and righteous to your fellow sect members and relatives and come to me, it can be seen that you also have a bit of loyalty.

Plus, you were a benefactor to Yuanhao back then. No matter whether he gave you a promise or not, this favor is owed by my Song family, and it is naturally something that must be repaid.

Rest assured, I have already asked someone to get the pill. You wait here for a moment, and you will be able to exchange for the Recovery Pill in a while."

After obtaining Song Qingming's promise to exchange for the pill, both Xu Qingyin and Song Yuanhao breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces slowly revealed a few more looks of joy.

"This spirit tea was just brewed by me, you two also help taste it."

Seeing Xu Qingyin standing carefully on the side, Huang Siyuan took out two teacups, poured a cup of spirit tea for her and Song Yuanhao respectively, and then cast a spell to send them to the wooden table beside them, signaling the two to sit down.

Seeing that Huang Siyuan and Song Qingming were both approachable and did not have the airs of other Jin Dan cultivators she had seen before, Xu Qingyin was no longer too nervous, bowed in response, and picked up the spirit tea on the table to take a light sip.

"This tea is fragrant and mellow, and the entrance is soft and refreshing. The senior must have specially added the morning dew from the mountain top. It is truly the junior's blessing to be able to taste it today."

"Oh! Fellow Daoist just took a sip and knew that I used morning dew. It seems that Fellow Daoist Xu's tea art is not shallow, and you are also someone who understands tea, which makes me somewhat blind."

Hearing Xu Qingyin see through the way she brewed tea so quickly, Huang Siyuan's face changed slightly, and she immediately opened her mouth to praise, and also became a bit more interested in the woman in front of her.

"The junior also likes the way of tea art on weekdays, so I have learned some shallow things. The senior's words are somewhat exaggerated."

Huang Siyuan and Xu Qingyin were both interested in the way of tea, and for a time, they found some common topics to chat about.

It was not until about a quarter of an hour later that Song Yuanfang came to the "Huixian Pavilion" with a cyan jade bottle, which made them temporarily stop their chatting.

After taking the cyan jade bottle brought by Song Yuanfang, Huang Siyuan directly handed it to Xu Qingyin.

"This Recovery Pill was refined by me a few years ago. Fellow Daoist Xu can take a look first. If you think the quality is fine, then this transaction will be considered concluded."

After Xu Qingyin took the jade bottle and opened it, a pungent medicinal fragrance immediately hit her face. Looking at the high-tier healing pill she had been thinking about, she felt a warmth in her heart at this moment.

"This pill is exactly what the junior needs, and there is no problem. Thank you, senior, for fulfilling my wish!"

After speaking, Xu Qingyin put away the jade bottle in her hand, then took out the spirit talisman she had already prepared, and respectfully handed it to Huang Siyuan.

After picking up the wooden box sent by Xu Qingyin and opening it to take a look, Huang Siyuan immediately nodded to her with a smile and directly put the spirit talisman into her storage bag.

Seeing that Huang Siyuan didn't say much, Xu Qingyin immediately bowed: "My senior sister is still in the nearby Qinghe Market and has no one to take care of her.

If you have no other problems here, senior, then the junior will take my leave first and not disturb the two seniors' cultivation."

Huang Siyuan saw this and nodded slightly: "Fellow Daoist Xu has something to do today, so we won't keep you.

Since you have come from afar, you are also a distinguished guest of my Song family. In the future, if you have anything you need our help with in Qinghe County, you can come to the mountain and find Yuanhao directly."

Just after Huang Siyuan finished speaking, Song Qingming again instructed Song Yuanhao on the side: "Fellow Daoist Xu is here for the first time, and some things in Qinghe Market might not be convenient.

Yuanhao, you might as well accompany her to Qinghe Market first, and be sure to entertain her well, don't lose the family's etiquette."

Song Yuanhao heard this and didn't think much, immediately nodded in response, and then took Xu Qingyin and left the "Huixian Pavilion."

After the two left, Song Qingming turned to Song Yuanfang and asked: "Have you found out clearly, when did she arrive at Qinghe Market?"

"Reporting to Seventh Great-Uncle, Xu Qingyin arrived in the Wei Kingdom a month ago, and probably moved into Qinghe Market four days ago. After she came, she only inquired about Yuanhao's affairs and headed straight for our Mount Funiu."

Hearing Song Yuanfang's answer, Song Qingming nodded slightly: "Let the people in Qinghe Market pay attention to where she lives. If you find out when she leaves, send a message back to tell us immediately."

"Seventh Great-Uncle, rest assured, I will arrange it immediately!"

Song Yuanfang nodded upon hearing this. Just as he was about to turn and leave, Song Qingming seemed to have thought of something and directly waved his hand to stop Song Yuanfang.

"Does the Li family have any news recently?"

Hearing Song Qingming suddenly ask about the Li family, Song Yuanfang paused for a moment and immediately replied: "Li Chengyue has been in seclusion to heal his wounds since he returned, and there has been no news coming out so far.

The Li family has also been much quieter in the market in the past year. Looking at the situation, Li Chengyue's injuries seem to be unable to get better for a while. Last month, the Li family even specially sent someone over to exchange some healing pills from the Hidden Gold Pavilion."

Hearing Song Yuanfang's answer, Song Qingming nodded thoughtfully: "Li Chengyue's injuries are to his physical meridians. If there are still extra third-tier Recovery Pills in the Hidden Gold Pavilion, exchange one for them next time the Li family comes.

Li Chengyue was injured on the front line while following us after all, so we cannot ignore the care we should give."

Hearing that Song Qingming wanted to take the initiative to give Li Chengyue a third-tier healing pill, Song Yuanfang was slightly surprised, but his expression quickly recovered, and he directly nodded and agreed to the matter.

After Song Yuanfang left for a while, Huang Siyuan asked somewhat curiously: "Li Chengyue's injuries are serious, but there is no danger to his life. Why does my husband value him so much?"

Seeing that Huang Siyuan did not understand his previous approach, Song Qingming picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled and explained: "Although Li Chengyue has been fighting fiercely with the Huang family over the years, he is still very loyal to our Mount Funiu.

He is injured and has not shown up for a long time. I am also afraid that the market will be in chaos if the Li family suddenly loses power, so I thought of helping him.

For these cultivation families below, having some conflicts on weekdays is not a big deal to us, but the business in the market absolutely cannot be chaotic. This is the foundation on which the family relies for survival, so we still need to pay more attention to it."

Over the years, the numerous cultivation families under the Song family have been divided into two factions led by the Huang family and the Li family, fighting endlessly in secret. Song Qingming was well aware of these things.

Regarding their secret fighting, Song Qingming did not care and had also told Song Yuanfang and others not to pay too much attention to it.

For the Song family, having some conflicts within the subordinate cultivation families would not have any impact on the family, but would instead highlight the importance of Mount Funiu in their hearts, and they would always care about the attitude of Mount Funiu toward them.

If all the subordinate cultivation families were harmonious and had no conflicts at all, the Song family would instead not be able to find their handles and would not be easy to control. In the future, if there was anything that needed these people to risk their lives to help, it would be very difficult to make them willing.

Precisely because of this, when Li Chengyue was injured and the Li family lost power, Song Qingming wanted to help, so that the Li family could recover faster, so as not to give the Huang family too many opportunities to suppress them.

Hearing Song Qingming's explanation, Huang Siyuan immediately understood his intention to balance the strength of both sides. After being silent for a moment, she immediately changed the subject and smiled at Song Qingming: "I quite like this girl Yuanhao brought back. What do you think?"

Seeing Huang Siyuan mention Xu Qingyin, Song Qingming shook his head with a smile: "We just met, how can I tell whether it's good or not.

However, it is indeed as you said, his attitude toward Xu Qingyin is completely different from others, and it is quite possible.

For so many years, I haven't seen Yuanhao have feelings for anyone, and I thought this kid was really a blockhead who knew nothing about emotional matters. It seems that he just didn't find the right person.

Let's pay attention to it later. If Yuanhao really has feelings for her, we can't miss this opportunity. Anyway, as long as that girl has nothing to do with the Hunyuan Sect, it won't have any impact on us if she stays.

Back then, when Xinhe left, he left Yuanhao as his only bloodline. No matter what, I, as an elder, cannot watch his lineage die out. You can also help pay attention to this matter. If it can really be solved satisfactorily, I will definitely thank you well."

"There's no need to thank me between you and me. If I can really help you get your wish, if there is a chance to go to the Donghuang Kingdom cultivation world in the future, you can take me with you to broaden my horizons."

Seeing Huang Siyuan wanting to go to the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world with him, Song Qingming immediately understood what she meant by saying this, and she should want to go to the "Taixu Gate" to take a look.

Huang Siyuan had achieved some success in entering the world to practice under Song Qingming's guidance over the years, so she became more and more curious about the mysterious sect that Song Qingming had joined, and had always wanted to understand it further.

Song Qingming did not mind Huang Siyuan wanting to understand the "Taixu Gate" too much in his heart, but due to the sect rules, he could not tell Huang Siyuan directly, so he could only nod lightly: "If you are interested in that place, next time there is a chance, I will ask someone to see if I can take you to the sect to take a look. Don't be too anxious about this matter, I think there will be opportunities in the future."

Huang Siyuan heard this and nodded with a smile: "Hmm! Husband, rest assured, I know that some things cannot be forced. If there is a chance to go and see, it is naturally good. If there is really difficulty, it is that this opportunity is not destined for me, then this matter will be forgotten. Don't affect your relationship with them because of me."

"Rest assured, I know the importance of this matter and will not make things difficult for myself."

Seeing Song Qingming nod and agree to her words, Huang Siyuan finally felt relieved and smiled as she picked up the teapot to add another cup of spirit tea to his cup.

After Xu Qingyin successfully obtained the third-tier "Recovery Pill" from the Song family, she returned to "Qinghe Market" without stopping with Song Yuanhao and handed the healing pill in her hand to her senior sister Li Xiuning, who was in seclusion to heal her wounds.

In order to make it more convenient for them, Song Yuanhao specially greeted the two Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the market and arranged a cave mansion with the best spiritual energy in the back mountain of the market for Li Xiuning to seclude herself and heal her wounds.

Li Xiuning had met Song Yuanhao once in the Song Kingdom back then and had a pretty good impression of this friend of her junior sister.

Learning that Song Yuanhao had really helped her exchange for a high-tier healing pill, Li Xiuning was also extremely grateful in her heart and wanted to bow to thank Song Yuanhao while dragging her sick body.

Seeing this, Song Yuanhao was also somewhat surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her. He was not good at words, and it took a while for him to let Li Xiuning accept the healing pill in her hand with peace of mind.

Knowing that Xu Qingyin and the two had no acquaintances after coming to the Wei Kingdom for the first time, Song Yuanhao helped settle all the matters of Li Xiuning's seclusion before he felt at ease and bid farewell to Xu Qingyin and left "Qinghe Market."

After Song Yuanhao left, Li Xiuning looked at the pill in her hand and couldn't help but sigh: "Junior sister, I really didn't expect the Song family to really have high-tier healing pills. It was really right to come to the Wei Kingdom this time."

"Hmm! Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Song really helped a lot. If it weren't for his help, the Song family wouldn't have returned it to us so easily even if they had this pill."

Xu Qingyin thought of Song Yuanhao who had just left, and a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of her mouth.

Looking at the happy expression of her junior sister Xu Qingyin, Li Xiuning nodded with a smile: "Junior sister helped him once back then, and Song Yuanhao could remember it until now and repay this favor. It can be seen that he is indeed a person who values love and righteousness.

If you have feelings for him, junior sister, you can consider it. If you can find a reliance early, I can give an account to the master even if I sit down now."

"Senior sister, what are you talking about... I... when did I have feelings for him!"

Hearing the words in Li Xiuning's mouth, Xu Qingyin's face instantly turned red and she turned her head somewhat embarrassedly. It took a while before she continued to say: "After obtaining the third-tier Recovery Pill this time, senior sister, your injuries will definitely recover very quickly. I will just have senior sister as a reliance in the future, and I don't want to think too much about other things for now."

Seeing Xu Qingyin's expectant look, Li Xiuning's face slowly calmed down, and she sighed slightly: "I know my injuries myself, it's not so easy to recover.

Even with the help of this third-tier Recovery Pill, it may not be possible to fully recover.

Master and my husband have left me one after another, and I have no other worries in this world. The only thing I can't let go of is you, junior sister. If you can find a reliance, I can also let go of my worries early."

"Senior sister..." —— In the northwest corner of the rear mountain of "Mount Funiu," there is a valley shrouded in white mist all year round.

Although the valley is filled with white mist, the surroundings are full of birds and flowers, and the scenery is pleasant.

At the entrance of the valley, several gray wild rabbits approached the white mist, greedily inhaled a few mouthfuls of the spiritual energy emitted from within, and then, unsatisfied, they directly rushed into the mist, wanting to enter the valley.

"Little things, this is not a place where you should come. Go back to where you came from!"

Just as those wild rabbits were shuttling rapidly in the white mist, a furious shout came from the valley, scaring them to hurriedly turn around and rush out of the white mist, and together with the surrounding birds, quickly disappeared into the dense forest outside the valley.

Before long, the mist at the valley suddenly dissipated slowly, and an old man with white hair walked out from within. After scanning the surroundings and seeing that the birds and beasts just now were all scared away, he turned around and walked back to the valley with satisfaction.

Just after the old man returned to the valley, he suddenly saw a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old running toward him in a hurry in the distance, and hurriedly restored the formation behind him and stepped forward to meet him.

"Linqin, did something happen in the medicine garden, or is there another spiritual medicine that has ripened early?"

Hearing the old man's concerned inquiry, Song Linqin hurriedly nodded and pointed to the family spirit medicine garden not far behind him: "Uncle Ancestor Yuantong, you should go and take a look quickly, the Gilded Fruit Tree... the Gilded Fruit Tree seems to be a bit wrong there."

"What exactly is wrong, you should make it clear! You have been learning from me for so long, how can you still not see any problems with the spiritual plants in the medicine garden."

Hearing the reprimand of the elder in front of him, Song Linqin, whose face was still somewhat immature, thought for a moment before continuing: "Uncle Ancestor Yuantong, the Gilded Fruit Tree seems to be starting to advance its realm.

Just now I went to the spirit medicine garden to check and found that the speed of the Gilded Fruit Tree absorbing spiritual energy has become much faster, and many new branches and leaves have grown on it, which is exactly the same as when the elder said the spiritual plant advances its realm before. I am also not sure if this is true."

"What, you said the Gilded Fruit Tree is improving its realm." Hearing what Song Linqin said, the old man's face instantly changed, revealing a burst of surprise, and he hurriedly took him to the family spirit medicine garden not far away.

Since the Song family advanced to a Jin Dan immortal clan, the family spirit medicine garden has also been constantly expanding over the years. Not only "Mount Funiu," but also several spirit veins such as "Chiyan Market" and "Bai Shiling" have been cultivating spirit fields and planting various spiritual medicines.

Now in this spirit medicine garden located in the rear mountain of the family, after three hundred years of development, most places in the entire valley have been planted with various spiritual items, including many spiritual medicines that have not yet matured, and their quality has already reached the third tier or above.

After the old man took Song Linqin through more than ten medicine fields, they soon arrived in front of a golden fruit tree that was more than one person tall, which was the Gilded Fruit Tree that Song Qingming and the others had accidentally brought back from "Mount Yunwu" back then.

At this time, the spiritual energy around the "Gilded Fruit Tree" was rapidly pouring into the fruit tree, which had already exceeded the speed at which it usually absorbed spiritual energy, and four or five new branches had suddenly grown on the trunk overnight, just as Song Linqin had said.

"This, this is really the fruit tree advancing its realm. I will guard here, Linqin, you go and notify the two elders quickly, and tell them about the situation of the Gilded Fruit Tree."

Seeing this situation, this old man of the "Yuan" generation of the Song family did not dare to delay and hurriedly instructed Song Linqin to find the two family second-tier spirit plant masters, Song Yuanxue and Song Xuanling.

He himself hurriedly opened a spirit-gathering formation beside the "Gilded Fruit Tree," and then took out a mid-tier spirit stone from his body and put it in.

The medicinal age of spiritual plants above the third tier is at least over a thousand years, and it may take at least five or six hundred years for the realm to improve once. Situations like the "Gilded Fruit Tree" suddenly improving its realm by itself are very rare in the entire cultivation world.

Learning that the "Gilded Fruit Tree" had suddenly started to advance its realm, Song Yuanxue, who was cultivating in seclusion in the cave mansion, was also shocked and hurriedly ended her seclusion early and walked out of the cave mansion.

She took a group of Song family spirit plant masters and started to guard the "Gilded Fruit Tree" that was advancing its realm day and night in the spirit medicine garden.

Song Qingming and the others on the mountain top learned the news that the "Gilded Fruit Tree" was advancing its realm, and they were also very happy in their hearts. They even made a trip to the family spirit medicine garden to check on the spirit tree.

Not only did they reward Song Linqin and the two who first discovered the spirit tree's advancement, but they also let the family's Hidden Gold Pavilion advance a sum of spirit stones to the family spirit medicine garden, and instructed Song Yuanxue and the others to take good care of the "Gilded Fruit Tree."

The "Gilded Fruit Tree" could provide the family with a third-tier low-quality spirit fruit every few decades. If it could succeed in advancing this time, the quality of the spirit fruit could be improved to the third-tier mid-quality, and its value could also be at least doubled, which could greatly improve the family's foundation.

Moreover, spirit fruits above the third tier that could improve cultivation were very rare and were not things that could be bought casually in the market.

Holding such high-tier spiritual items, sometimes they were even much easier to use than spirit stones when trading with cultivators of the same tier outside. Being able to continuously produce these high-tier spirit fruits, it would also be much more convenient for Song Qingming and the others to exchange for high-tier spiritual items useful to them in the future.

Just when the Song family members were still happy about the "Gilded Fruit Tree" advancing its realm, what made Song Qingming somewhat surprised was that in less than half a month, Song Yuanxue, who was taking care of the "Gilded Fruit Tree," quickly brought him another piece of bad news.

The Song family's "Gilded Fruit Tree" had its speed of absorbing spiritual energy suddenly weaken a lot half a month after advancing its realm.

According to the estimation of Song Yuanxue and the others, the foundation of the fruit tree was still somewhat unstable during this advancement. If there was no external force to change it, the "Gilded Fruit Tree's" advancement of its realm this time would very likely end in failure in the end.

Learning this news, Song Qingming felt somewhat disappointed in his heart, but he himself was not good at the way of spirit plants, and he was somewhat helpless about this.

After thinking about it, Song Qingming still made a trip to "Mount Guyang" by himself to find Zhao Mengling, who was proficient in spirit plant skills, to ask if there was any way to save the "Gilded Fruit Tree" that was advancing its realm.

Song Qingming was quite lucky this time. When he arrived at "Mount Guyang," Zhao Mengling had also just come out of seclusion not long ago. After reporting, Song Qingming soon successfully saw her in Zhao Mengling's cave mansion.

After learning the purpose of Song Qingming's visit, Zhao Mengling thought for a while before slowly opening her mouth: "Junior Brother Song, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I can probably guess it from what you said just now. This Gilded Fruit Tree should have had its foundation damaged when it was transplanted back then, which is why this situation appeared.

If it is not treated in time, the fruit tree will have an eight or nine out of ten chance of failing to advance its realm this time, and I don't know when the next advancement will be."

"It's useless to regret it now. I don't know if Senior Sister has any remedy here that can assist the fruit tree in advancing its realm."
