Chapter 763: Tianhai Cultivation World, Thunder Infant Fruit

After bowing and responding, Song Qingming followed Feng He into "Liufeng Hall."

As a century-old shop opened in "Qinghe Fang," "Liufeng Hall" is located on the edge of the marketplace, always low-key and unobtrusive, and there are not many customers coming and going every day.

At this time, the two mortal shop assistants in the shop hall were busy greeting a customer to buy spirit items. Seeing Feng He leading Song Qingming in, they immediately cast a curious look.

However, before they could ask, an old man at the Qi Condensation stage standing behind the counter immediately stepped forward and respectfully led the two to the back hall.

After arriving at the room where he lived and inviting Song Qingming to sit down, Feng He took out a paper bag, handed it to the shopkeeper on the side, and gave a few instructions.

In a short while, a pot of spirit tea emitting a faint fragrance was brought up by the shopkeeper.

"Little Brother Song, this tea was not easy for me to get. You taste a sip first and see how it tastes!"

Picking up the spirit tea on the table and bringing it close to his nose to smell it lightly, the fragrance was very light and there was nothing special about it, only faintly feeling a trace of the unique fragrance of peach wood.

Afterwards, Song Qingming put the tea to his mouth and took a small sip. As soon as the tea entered his abdomen, Song Qingming immediately felt a very rich spiritual energy rushing straight to his dantian, making a look of surprise appear on his face instantly.

Most of the spirit tea that Song Qingming usually drinks is low-tier spirit tea of the first or second tier, which contains very limited spiritual energy and can only satisfy his appetite, and the help to his cultivation is not so obvious.

The spirit tea that Feng He took out looked ordinary, but the spiritual energy inside was no weaker than the third-tier elixirs that Song Qingming usually takes for cultivation. This whole cup of spirit tea would probably save him half a month of hard cultivation. It is considered the most high-tier spirit tea that Song Qingming has drunk over the years.

"I didn't expect the spiritual energy of this tea to be so rich. I'm afraid the grade is unusual. Today, thanks to Senior's blessing, I have really opened my eyes."

Hearing Song Qingming's exclamation, Feng He picked up the spirit tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp, then smiled and said: "This tea was brought back by me from Tianhai a few years ago. It is the unique Green Peach Tea from Peach Blossom Mountain of the Green Wood Sect."

"A bag of such spirit tea on the market requires at least eight thousand spirit stones, and it is not something that ordinary people can buy."

"I know Little Brother likes to taste tea, so I specially brought a bag for you to taste. You keep the rest first!"

"Oh! This is really making Senior worry."

Song Qingming smiled and nodded, but did not rush to accept the spirit tea on the table. After a pause, he continued to say to Feng He:

"Senior came to find me this time, it shouldn't be just for tasting tea, right? Is there any progress on the matter we agreed upon last time?"

An hour ago, when he received Song Yuanfang's letter at "Chiyan Fang," Song Qingming saw the words "Liufeng Hall" in the corner of the letter and learned that it was Feng He who came to find him. In his heart, he had already roughly guessed the purpose of his trip.

It has been almost six years since the agreement made with Feng He near "Guyang Mountain" back then. Feng He coming to find him at this time must be for this matter.

Seeing Song Qingming take the initiative to ask about his purpose, Feng He was silent for a moment, and his face slowly became serious.

"That's right, I came to find you this time precisely for this matter."

After Feng He finished speaking, his right hand waved lightly, and in the blink of an eye, a sound-insulation barrier was set up beside the two.

Song Qingming, who rarely saw Feng He so serious, also understood that his next words were very important, and immediately pricked up his ears and focused all his attention on Feng He.

"Back then, I agreed with Little Brother to give you a Nascent Soul opportunity. Now that I have prepared everything on my side, it is time to tell you everything about this matter."

"I don't know if Little Brother knows anything about the Tianhai cultivation world?"

"Tianhai cultivation world, Senior should be talking about the Tianhai Alliance south of the State of Lu! Back then, I was fighting against the Tianhai Alliance near the front line of the State of Lu when I met Senior. I have naturally heard of some things about the Tianhai Alliance."

"However, I have been cultivating for so many years and have never really been to the Tianhai Alliance, so my understanding of things there is limited to hearsay and cannot be considered very knowledgeable."

"Why did Senior suddenly mention the Tianhai Alliance? Could it be that the enemy who harmed Senior Feng He back then was a cultivator of the Tianhai Alliance?"

Hearing Feng He suddenly mention the "Tianhai Alliance," Song Qingming immediately recalled the situation when the two met on the front line of the State of Lu back then.

Back then, Feng He was in trouble on the border of the State of Lu. Song Qingming had long guessed that it was very likely that he had fled from the "Tianhai Alliance" to the north to the State of Lu.

However, for many years, because the "Tianhai Alliance" has been fighting against the cultivators of the Fuyun Mountain Range in the north, there has been no communication between the cultivators of both sides.

Therefore, Song Qingming's understanding of the "Tianhai Alliance" over the years has been very limited, and he has no way to determine whether Feng He was originally a cultivator of the "Tianhai Alliance."

Now hearing Feng He take the initiative to mention the "Tianhai Alliance," Song Qingming also immediately understood that he should not have guessed wrong. He had indeed fled from there to the Fuyun Mountain Range back then.

Feng He heard this, nodded calmly, and continued: "You guessed right. The life-and-death enemy I want to deal with is from the Tianhai Alliance."

"And I was originally a cultivator in the Tianhai cultivation world. It was only because I was blind and didn't know people well that I was plotted against, and finally ended up in a situation where I could only seize someone else's body to re-cultivate."

Speaking of this, Feng He suddenly paused, sitting in place with a dull look, as if he had fallen into a memory. After a while, he came back to his senses and continued to say to Song Qingming: "Little Brother Song, since you don't know much about the Tianhai cultivation world, you must listen carefully to what I say next."

"There is an ancient secret realm in the southeast sea area of the Tianhai cultivation world. It opens once every hundred years. Every time that happens, countless Core Formation cultivators will flock to it to seek treasures in the secret realm."

"And the Nascent Soul opportunity I told you about is in this secret realm."

"May I ask Senior, what exactly is this Nascent Soul opportunity, and how can Junior obtain it?" As soon as he heard Feng He talk about the Nascent Soul opportunity, the look in Song Qingming's eyes became serious again.

"In that ancient secret realm, there is a fourth-tier spirit fruit tree. Every hundred years, several fourth-tier spirit fruits mature on it, all of which are of great help to cultivators in condensing the Nascent Soul."

"As long as you can seize one, and take it when you condense the Nascent Soul in the future, you will have at least a 10% higher probability of condensing the Nascent Soul."

"To tell you the truth, when I first succeeded in condensing the Nascent Soul back then, I had taken one of the spirit fruits I just mentioned. It was also with the help of this thing that I succeeded in advancing to the Nascent Soul stage in one go when I broke through the barrier."

"Increasing the probability of condensing the Nascent Soul by more than 10%, so to speak, the fourth-tier spirit fruit Senior mentioned is really not an ordinary thing. Spirit items with this effect are rare in the cultivation world!"

Feng He nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, I didn't exaggerate the effect of this thing just now. When you go to the Tianhai cultivation world in the future, you will know if you just find a place to ask about the Thunder Infant Fruit."

"However, although the Thunder Infant Fruit is good, it is not so easy to obtain. If you want to snatch food from the mouths of those large sects in the secret realm, you must also be mentally prepared."

"If even those Nascent Soul sects participate, how can I, a Core Formation cultivator, snatch such a spirit item for condensing the Nascent Soul? Could it be that Senior will take action personally by then?"

Facing Song Qingming's puzzled inquiry, Feng He shook his head directly: "That place is too dangerous for me now, and I have no way to get close."

"Don't worry, every time that ancient secret realm opens, the many Nascent Soul sects in the Tianhai cultivation world will have an agreement not to let Nascent Soul cultivators enter it."

"No matter what is in the secret realm, including this Thunder Infant Fruit, it is limited to the competition among Core Formation cultivators. As long as you can snatch this thing and come out alive, no one will dare to trouble you on the spot."

"Oh! If that's the case, then it's indeed worth a try. The person Senior wants me to kill should also be one of those Nascent Soul sects' core disciples, right?" Hearing Feng He's explanation, the corner of Song Qingming's mouth relaxed slightly, and he asked another question.

Seeing this, Feng He nodded to Song Qingming to confirm: "That's right, the person I want you to kill is exactly a core disciple of one of the Nascent Soul sects."

"According to my estimation, after this person enters that ancient secret realm, unsurprisingly, he will definitely be able to obtain a Thunder Infant Fruit."

"You don't need to compete with them for the Thunder Infant Fruit. Just wait for this person to successfully obtain the spirit fruit, then find an opportunity to kill him, and then everything on him, including this Thunder Infant Fruit, will be yours."

"Senior's plan is indeed very good. It's just that after entering, how can Junior find the other party, and whether he can successfully kill the opponent is not an easy thing. Does Senior have any other ways to help me succeed?"

Hearing the worry in Song Qingming's words, Feng He immediately answered confidently: "You can rest assured about these things. I have already arranged them for you."

"When I came to find you back then, I said that I have something in my hand that can crack the opponent's cultivation technique. In fact, the cultivation technique this person practices is one I created personally back then."

"You just need to memorize this manual. Even if his cultivation and magic power are higher than yours, killing him will not be a difficult thing."

"As for how to find his hiding place by then, it is also not a difficult thing. By then, I will naturally tell you the method."

After Feng He finished speaking, he took out a manual from his storage bag and then threw it directly to Song Qingming.

After Song Qingming got the manual, he probed it with his forehead. It was indeed as Feng He said. What was recorded inside were various coping methods specifically for cracking a cultivation technique. Moreover, every cracking method on it was written in great detail, and even the magic tools the opponent might use and the accompanying supernatural powers were inferred clearly. It was obvious that he had spent a lot of energy on this.

I don't know what kind of relationship this person has with Feng He, but he would choose to practice the cultivation technique he created. This point really surprised Song Qingming.

After confirming that the content in the manual was not different from what Feng He said, Song Qingming's originally nervous expression slowly relaxed, and he calmly put the manual directly into the storage magic tool.

"Since Senior has already arranged it so properly, Junior will naturally do his best by then. Regardless of whether I can obtain this Thunder Infant Fruit, I will not go back on the things I promised Senior."

"Good! Little Brother Song, I can rest assured with your words."

"The opening time of that ancient secret realm is still about a year away. If Little Brother has no other questions, then let's agree to set off in half a year."

"When we arrive at the Tianhai cultivation world, I will tell you other detailed situations. During this period, please Little Brother read this manual more, so as not to make any mistakes by then."

Hearing Feng He's instructions, Song Qingming hurriedly bowed and responded: "Senior, don't worry. This matter is related to Junior's life and future path, so how could I dare not be cautious."

In addition to wanting to fulfill the promise he made back then to help Feng He take revenge, Song Qingming's cultivation has now reached the eighth layer of Core Formation, and he is not far from impacting the Nascent Soul stage.

But living in a place with relatively barren resources like the Fuyun Mountain Range, a cultivator like him from an ordinary cultivation family can only reach the Core Formation stage at most. It is absolutely impossible to condense the Nascent Soul without special opportunities.

Among the thousands of cultivators in the Wei State cultivation world, only the "Xiaoyao Sect" has the ability to find fourth-tier spirit items to assist in condensing the Nascent Soul outside.

Even if Song Qingming still had two fourth-tier spirit medicines brought out from the "Tianyuan Sect" spirit medicine garden back then, he had not heard of any way to exchange for spirit items for condensing the Nascent Soul for so many years.

Although his cultivation has reached the eighth layer of Core Formation, Song Qingming has always been relatively confused about how he should impact the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

Now that he has finally received news of a Nascent Soul opportunity from Feng He, he naturally does not want to miss it easily. Even if he has to take some risks, it is worth a try for Song Qingming.

Hearing Song Qingming's answer, Feng He immediately nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Hmm! Of course I am assured of Little Brother, otherwise I wouldn't have specifically come here to find you for help."

"In order to make the next plan more secure, I still need to find a few helpers to go together and cannot stay here all the time. If you have anything urgent to find me, you can contact me with the spirit talisman I gave you last time."

"In half a year, I will naturally come here to find you." After Feng He finished speaking, he smiled and added a cup of spirit tea for Song Qingming.

Since getting to know Feng He, every time Song Qingming met him, he was alone. Hearing that Feng He was going to find helpers this time, he was also a little surprised.

"It seems that the opponent they are going to face this time is indeed not easy to deal with. Even if Feng He has been carefully preparing for many years, he does not have absolute confidence in this."

The matter of being harmed by an enemy back then also made Feng He extremely cautious in his conduct. It is estimated that he will not tell him everything until the end.

Although there were still some doubts in his heart, Song Qingming did not say much about it. He picked up the spirit tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp, then got up and bowed to Feng He: "Then I will listen to Senior's arrangements for everything!"

After agreeing with Feng He, Song Qingming did not stay for long. After tasting a few cups of spirit tea, he said goodbye to Feng He, put on his bamboo hat, and left "Liufeng Hall."

After Song Qingming left, Feng He sat alone in the room for a long time before taking the initiative to come out and arrive at the shop hall outside.

Seeing Feng He, the shopkeeper of "Liufeng Hall" hurriedly stepped forward and asked respectfully: "Owner, I have already asked them to put away the stalls outside. Should I put them out again?"

Feng He heard this and waved his hand directly: "No need. I will leave here in a while. You can just take the remaining puppet beasts on the stall and sell them!"

"Also, the business of nearby shops seems to be not bad. Why is there no one coming in here? You should also pay more attention."

After speaking, Feng He ignored the surprised shopkeeper and walked out of "Liufeng Hall" directly. Soon, his figure disappeared into the crowd coming and going on the marketplace street. —— In the most prosperous area in the middle of the "Qinghe Fang" street, the crowd is bustling, and from time to time, you can hear the shouting of shop assistants in nearby shops to attract customers on the street.

Shops opened in such core areas of the marketplace are basically the industries of cultivation families above Foundation Establishment in Qinghe County, and these shops with good business can bring them a lot of profit every year.

Among them, there is a restaurant called "Xianfeng Tower," and the golden signboard hanging on it is particularly eye-catching. Almost everyone passing by the entrance of the restaurant will show a look of yearning after seeing it.

What is a bit strange is that "Xianfeng Tower," whose business was almost booming all year round, is very quiet at the entrance today, and even hung up a signboard that it is no longer welcoming guests.

There are also a few shop assistants standing at the entrance, blocking those customers who didn't pay attention, reminding them that they cannot welcome guests temporarily today, and if they want to eat, they have to wait until next time.

In another smaller restaurant opposite "Xianfeng Tower," a middle-aged man with a round face who was drinking saw this strange scene and asked his friend sitting on the side with curiosity: "I originally wanted to invite Brother Li to Xianfeng Tower to taste the Cuiyun Carp, but unfortunately, I didn't come at the right time today. I don't know what happened. Why did Xianfeng Tower suddenly close for business for no reason?"

After speaking, the round-faced man also showed some regret, as if he felt sorry for not being able to enter "Xianfeng Tower" today.

"Sigh! Little Brother, don't be so polite. Isn't it the same to eat anywhere? If you want to go to Xianfeng Tower, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Why be in such a hurry?"

Hearing his friend's comfort, the round-faced man's expression looked a little better, and he said softly:

"I heard that Xianfeng Tower seems to have a distinguished guest today. It was precisely to entertain this person well and not let too many people disturb him that they specially closed for business. It's just that I don't know who this distinguished guest is today to have such a big show."

"Oh! To be able to let Xianfeng Tower specially close for business to entertain, this person is really not simple. We happen to be able to see the other party sitting here. Let's take a closer look later to see which senior has such a big face to let Xianfeng Tower entertain so carefully."

Just as the two were talking, a young man in green clothes suddenly walked on the street and stopped at the entrance of "Xianfeng Tower."

After this person's eyes scanned the signboard hanging at the entrance of "Xianfeng Tower" refusing guests, he didn't pay attention and walked straight toward the inside of the restaurant.

What is a bit strange is that the shop assistants at the entrance saw this green-clothed man coming, but didn't step forward to block him as before, but lowered their heads respectfully to him, letting him walk directly into "Xianfeng Tower."

"Sigh, Brother Li, this kid looks ordinary. Could he be the distinguished guest that Xianfeng Tower specially entertains?" Seeing the green-clothed man walk directly into "Xianfeng Tower," the round-faced cultivator sitting here asked somewhat casually.

However, what made him a bit strange was that as soon as his voice fell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and even the friend who was chatting and laughing with him just now suddenly had no sound.

The round-faced man turned around and saw that the other tables of guests eating on the side were all looking at him in shock, as if they had heard something incredible.

"Fellow Daoist, are you drunk? You can't even recognize Ancestor Song. What nonsense are you talking about? Do you not want to live anymore!"

"He is Song... Song... Ancestor Song!"

Hearing his friend's explanation at the same table, the round-faced cultivator was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. He hurriedly looked carefully at the "Xianfeng Tower" opposite, and found that no one on the opposite side noticed him, so he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling the strange eyes coming from around, the two of them had no intention of eating at this moment, hurriedly got up to pay the bill downstairs, and left the restaurant in a panic.

Song Qingming, standing by the window on the second floor of "Xianfeng Tower," happened to see the two people walking out from the opposite side, and a calm smile appeared on his face.

Just as Song Qingming was looking at the street below, a slight knocking sound suddenly came from outside the private room. After a while, Song Yuanhao led Xu Qingyin and Li Xiuning, the Senior and Junior Sisters, into the room.

"Seventh Grand-Uncle, this is Fellow Daoist Li. She is also the Senior Sister of Fellow Daoist Xu."

As soon as they entered the room, Song Yuanhao stepped forward to introduce the two women to Song Qingming, and then Xu Qingyin and the other two hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Song Qingming.

"Junior Xu Qingyin, Li Xiuning, pay respects to Senior Song!"

After scanning the two women, Song Qingming waved his hand slightly to signal them to stand up first, then walked directly to Li Xiuning, whose face was still a bit pale, and asked calmly: "When did you refine the Recovery Pill last time?"

"Reporting to Senior, Junior retreated to refine the elixir to heal injuries half a year ago. It has been three or four months now. The meridians in my body that were injured were almost healed."

"It's just that I don't know why the spiritual energy in my body has never been able to circulate normally. As long as I absorb a little more spiritual energy, I will feel unbearable stinging pain in my dantian. I have already taken many elixirs, but there is still no effect."

Hearing Li Xiuning's answer, Song Qingming nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. He closed his eyes and stretched out his finger to point at the other party's forehead.

Seeing this, knowing that Song Qingming wanted to use his spiritual sense to probe her body, Li Xiuning immediately cooperated actively, standing in place and entering meditation, not daring to move around.

At this moment, Song Yuanhao and Xu Qingyin, who were standing on the side, saw this scene, but their expressions became a bit nervous, and their eyes were fixed on Song Qingming, waiting for the subsequent investigation results.

After a long while, Song Qingming slowly opened his eyes and withdrew his spiritual sense. After putting down his finger, a look of solemnity slowly appeared on his face. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 764 =====
