Chapter 792

The place where the two were patrolling was located on the Song family's territory by the Qinghe River, which was also a place where the family explicitly forbade outsiders from entering at will.

The Song family was now a Core Formation immortal clan and was the undisputed hegemon in Qinghe County. On weekdays, no one dared to provoke the family's authority or violate the ban to trespass on the Song family's territory.

Facing this suddenly appearing streak of light, the uncle and nephew of the Song family were full of surprise at this moment and hurriedly took out the sound transmission talisman to inform the nearby family Elders of the news of outsiders breaking in.

A moment later, on a high mountain more than ten miles east of the Qinghe River.

Song Linfeng, dressed in green robes, was sitting in a cave dwelling on the top of the mountain, concentrating on meditation and cultivation, when suddenly a crimson streak of light flew in from outside and sank directly into his cave dwelling.

Seeing the red sound transmission talisman that suddenly appeared before his eyes, Song Linfeng was somewhat surprised and quickly took it over.

Before long, Song Linfeng, with a somewhat serious expression, quickly packed up the spirit items beside him and walked directly out of his cave dwelling.

Song Linfeng, who had just left the cave dwelling, ran into three clansmen who had just arrived here to find him. Without waiting for them to ask, he directly gave instructions:

"Xuanhu just sent a letter saying that a strange Foundation Establishment cultivator broke into the Qinghe side. I need to go over and check the situation first.

If I haven't returned within half an hour and haven't received any news, you guys hurry up and send an emergency sound transmission talisman to the family to inform the Ancestor of this matter!"

Hearing Song Linfeng's instructions, an older "Chang" generation Qi Refining late-stage old man hurriedly asked: "Elder Linfeng, the situation hasn't been figured out yet. In case the person who came is formidable, I'm afraid it will be dangerous for you to go alone.

Should we inform the family of this matter first, and wait for the Great Elder to send reinforcements before we make plans!"

Song Linfeng had only succeeded in Foundation Establishment more than ten years ago, and his cultivation was only at the peak of the second level of Foundation Establishment. He was not very outstanding among Foundation Establishment cultivators. After hearing that a strange Foundation Establishment cultivator had come, the few Song family cultivators couldn't help but have an extra share of worry.

Facing the kind reminders of the few Elders, Song Linfeng shook his head firmly: "No, the Qinghe side was specifically instructed by the Ancestor not to allow any outsiders to approach there.

In case this person comes with ill intentions and brings any trouble to the family, how can we explain it to the Ancestor and the Great Elder when we look back.

Don't worry, I am a Foundation Establishment cultivator after all. I'm just going over to investigate the situation, so there shouldn't be any major issues.

Thirteenth Uncle, I'll trouble you to watch over this side first.

Remember, after I leave, you must immediately open the mountain-protecting array. Be very careful, and don't let the thieves take advantage of the situation."

After giving careful instructions, Song Linfeng took out his second-tier flying sword, then stepped on the magic tool and transformed into a sword light to leave this high mountain.

After Song Linfeng left, the older old man hurriedly directed the other cultivators on the mountain to open the mountain-protecting array. For a time, the entire spiritual mountain became tense.

From the spiritual mountain where he was located to the Qinghe River on the side, it was only more than ten miles, which for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Song Linfeng who could fly with a sword, would take at most a quarter of an hour to arrive.

After arriving near the location where the sound transmission was sent, Song Linfeng first took the initiative to stop his steps, then took out a stealth magic robe and put it on himself to cover his figure, before slowly approaching the destination.

After crossing a mountain ridge in front, Song Linfeng carefully probed forward and soon saw two figures that were somewhat familiar to him beside a blue stone in the distance.

"Eighteenth Uncle, Linyuan, are you okay? Did someone pass by here just now?"

Seeing that the two clansmen before him were safe and sound and did not have the bad situation he had imagined, Song Linfeng felt a little relieved and stepped forward to reveal his figure.

"Greetings, Elder!"

Seeing Song Linfeng suddenly appear beside them, the uncle and nephew, whose eyes had been carefully watching the river, were first startled, then hurriedly stepped forward to bow to Song Linfeng.

Seeing that the expressions on their faces were a bit strange, Song Linfeng hurriedly waved his hand and continued to ask: "No need for formalities! What exactly happened just now?"

"Reporting to the Elder, it's the Patriarch... The Patriarch, the old man, has come! Just now, Linyuan and I were patrolling here when we suddenly saw someone flying in the sky. We thought it was an outsider who had broken in here by mistake, so we hurriedly sent a sound transmission talisman.

I never expected that it would be the Patriarch. It's all my fault for being anxious for a moment and sending the talisman without seeing clearly."

"What? The Patriarch has come? Strange, I haven't heard the Great Elder say that the Patriarch is coming over to cultivate recently! Where is the Patriarch now? Is he still here? Did he give any instructions?"

Hearing that it was his own Patriarch who had come and not an outsider who had broken in here by mistake, Song Linfeng felt relieved but also felt an extra bit of tension. He hurriedly asked about Song Qingming's location.

Ever since the family cultivated a spiritual vein near Qinghe, this area had also become a territory controlled by the Song family, and the Patriarch attached great importance to this place and often came here to meditate and cultivate.

Song Linfeng was stationed in Qinghe for the family and also shouldered the task of guarding this territory of the family.

Hearing that Song Qingming had suddenly come here, he naturally felt a bit nervous, fearing that this family Ancestor would pick out some faults and leave a bad impression on him in his heart.

"Reporting to the Elder, the Patriarch is in the river now. He just went down not long ago. He only told us not to approach there and didn't say anything else?"

After confirming that Song Qingming was still there, Song Linfeng nodded slightly with a calm expression: "Hmm! I know. You guys go and patrol other places first. I'll be here."

Just as Song Linfeng finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from the surface of the Qinghe River, followed by a streak of white light flying out from the water and landing beside Song Linfeng and the three.

"Greetings, Patriarch!"

After sweeping his gaze lightly over the three people before him, Song Qingming nodded with a smile, then waved his hand lightly at Song Linyuan and the two who were about to leave, signaling them to retreat first.

After the two walked far away, Song Qingming turned around and asked Song Linfeng softly on the side: "I just returned from going out and stopped by to see you guys, so you don't need to think too much.

Has anything happened at home in the last half year?"

Having left the family to go far away to the "Tianhai Cultivation World" for more than half a year, Song Qingming was naturally very concerned about family matters.

Passing by Qinghe and thinking that there were clansmen stationed here, he hurriedly came down to ask a few questions first, and then took the opportunity to check the "Qinghe Cave Dwelling" that made him somewhat worried.

Since this place was controlled by the Song family, Song Yuanfang had been arranging for family cultivators to be stationed here all these years. Seeing that Song Linfeng had arrived so quickly, Song Qingming was still quite satisfied.

Hearing Song Qingming's inquiry, Song Linfeng hurriedly replied:

"Reporting to the Patriarch, except for the fact that Aunt Qingyu broke through her cultivation two months ago, there have been no major events at home in the last half year, but I haven't been back for a month either."

Song Qingming nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Oh! Qingyu has already left seclusion, that is truly a joyous event. Then I must hurry back too.

On the Qinghe side, I have set up an array underwater for cultivation, so you must not let anyone approach. You still need to pay more attention and must not be slack."

"Patriarch, rest assured, we patrol every day and will definitely not fail the family's trust!"

Just as Song Linfeng finished speaking, he saw a streak of white light flash before his eyes, and then Song Qingming disappeared from where he was.

Seeing Song Qingming transform into a streak of light and disappear into the sky, Song Linfeng's somewhat tense nerves slowly relaxed, and he turned to look at the surging Qinghe River on the side.

Ever since he took on the task of guarding Qinghe, because there were few trivial matters here, Song Linfeng had been meditating and cultivating in his cave dwelling almost all day and rarely went out.

This time, his Ancestor suddenly arrived without a word, which indeed caught him off guard. Fortunately, the people below acted quite diligently and were not overly lazy, and did not make any mistakes in front of Song Qingming.

"The Patriarch attaches such importance to this place, it seems that I still need to be more careful in the future."

After Song Linfeng muttered to himself on the spot, he carefully patrolled the surroundings once, and then turned his sword light to return to his cave dwelling.

After leaving Qinghe, Song Qingming, standing in the high sky, felt a bit more joy on his face after hearing about Song Qingyu breaking through her cultivation.

Song Qingyu's previous cultivation had already reached the fifth level of Core Formation for many years. This time, she had been in seclusion for more than a year without any movement. Song Qingming thought she might not succeed and would need to polish for a period of time.

He didn't expect that she would successfully break through to the sixth level of Core Formation in one go, which really surprised Song Qingming.

Less than a hundred years after forming the Golden Core, Song Qingyu could break through to the sixth level of Core Formation. Although her cultivation speed still couldn't catch up with cultivation geniuses like Bai Yuxian, she had already surpassed most Core Formation cultivators in the cultivation world.

You must know that Song Qingyu herself was only a three-spiritual-root cultivator, her talent was not very outstanding in the cultivation world, and she was born in an ordinary cultivation family like the Song family. Being able to have this cultivation speed was absolutely worthy of praise.

Song Qingming and Song Qingyu had been supporting each other for many years since they entered the Dao of cultivation, and he was naturally very happy about her progress in cultivation. Unknowingly, he accelerated his flight speed a few more times. —— Song family, "Meeting Immortal Pavilion" on the top of Mount Funiu.

Song Qingyu, who had just ended her seclusion not long ago, was sitting by the chessboard, seriously looking at a chess game that had been played for a long time, her eyes full of contemplation.

And Huang Siyuan, sitting opposite her, saw that Song Qingyu held the chess piece in her hand for a long time without dropping it. After sighing helplessly, she turned to take a cup of spiritual tea and took a sip.

"Qingyu, how long has it been and you can already match me? I guess it won't be long before I won't be able to play against you anymore.

Look, it's getting late, and this game of chess is almost done. Why don't we rest early and play again tomorrow?"

While Huang Siyuan was speaking, she also carefully looked at Song Qingyu's expression, seemingly afraid that the other party would misunderstand her meaning.

Ever since Song Qingyu came out of seclusion two months ago, she, who had never been very interested in chess, suddenly became obsessed with this skill to pass the time for some reason and insisted on pulling Huang Siyuan to play against her.

It's just that Song Qingyu was one step ahead in cultivation, but her talent in chess was not high. Every time, she was beaten by Huang Siyuan until she lost her armor and had to throw the pieces and admit defeat.

But Song Qingyu happened to have an unyielding character, losing repeatedly and still pulling Huang Siyuan to play chess every three days, which made her somewhat miserable recently, and she couldn't even take care of alchemy.

Hearing Huang Siyuan's suggestion, Song Qingyu, who couldn't drop the piece for a long time, thought for a moment and finally nodded somewhat unwillingly, throwing the chess piece in her hand into the chessboard.

"Sister-in-law, it's been more than two months, why hasn't Seventh Brother come back yet? If he could come back earlier, I wouldn't have to keep pestering you to play chess with me." "He said when he left that it might take some time. It's only been half a year, I'm afraid it won't be that fast!" Huang Siyuan responded with a smile, then put down the teacup in her hand and stood up to come to the window.

Song Qingyu saw this and also came over to continue: "Seventh Brother is also, what matter is so urgent, why couldn't he wait for me to come out of seclusion, at least I could have helped a little bit.

And Yuanli!

This child, how long has it been since he came back and he ran away without a sound again, not even thinking of seeing me. It's a waste that I loved him so much back then, he's really becoming more and more heartless."

"Hehe! This is indeed a bit of a coincidence. When the two of them were here, they said they wanted to wait for you to come out of seclusion to celebrate, but after waiting for more than half a year, they still didn't catch up.

If my husband knew that you successfully broke through your cultivation this time, he would definitely be happy for you. You don't need to be anxious, just wait patiently for a few more days, they should be back soon."

"Huh! Who is this? Sister-in-law, don't tell me you were right and it's Seventh Brother and the others coming back!"

Just as Huang Siyuan finished speaking, Song Qingyu, looking at the distance by the window, suddenly saw a streak of light flying from far away outside "Mount Funiu," and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on her face.

Seeing that this streak of light was indeed somewhat familiar, Huang Siyuan was also very surprised and hurriedly went out to greet them with Song Qingyu.

Just after arriving outside the mountain-protecting array, Song Qingyu saw a very familiar figure from afar. Full of joy, she hurriedly rushed forward and jumped onto the "Phantom Boat" first.

"Seventh Brother! I was just talking about you with Sister-in-law, I didn't expect it was really you coming back."

Seeing the overjoyed Song Qingyu, Song Qingming nodded with a smile: "I hurried and hurried, but still couldn't catch up with you coming out of seclusion, which is truly a bit regrettable.

Qingyu, Seventh Brother congratulates you on your cultivation success. It seems that sooner or later you will catch up with me."

"Hmph! Seventh Brother, you are already at the eighth level of Core Formation, and I don't know when I will advance to the late stage of Core Formation. How can I catch up with you? You are really laughing at me."

Hearing Song Qingming's personal praise, Song Qingyu appeared humble on the surface, but her heart was already blooming with joy, and she pulled Song Qingming to Huang Siyuan's side quickly.

"Husband, was this trip smooth?"

Seeing Huang Siyuan with a smile and full of concern, Song Qingming nodded slightly in response: "Although there were some twists and turns on my trip this time, it was still considered smooth, and I have already handled this matter.

During the days I was away, is the family safe?"

"Since you like this item, Senior, this junior is willing to offer it to you. It’s just that I really don't dare to accept these spirit stones; I hope you can take them back."

Although the black stone Song Qingming wanted was passed down by the old man’s ancestors, it had no other use besides sensing surrounding arrays, and in his hands, it was not as useful as an ordinary second-rank high-grade magic artifact.

The reason he didn't take it out directly at first was not because the item was very important to the old man, but just to show off his proficiency in array formations in front of Song Qingming.

Being able to exchange this item for thousands of spirit stones was not a losing deal for him.

Moreover, in front of Song Qingming, a Jin Dan cultivator who had just saved his life, even if the old man in yellow robes was somewhat unwilling, he did not have many choices.

If he were to speak rudely and annoy Song Qingming, his fate would likely not be much better than the Golden Blade Sect cultivators lying nearby; it would just be adding another corpse here.

Seeing that the other party was still worried that he would not let him go afterward, Song Qingming smiled and explained directly, "I am not someone who likes to take advantage of juniors. Giving you spirit stones is just a transaction for this item."

"Rest assured, since I am satisfied with your answer, I will naturally not trouble you again."

"However, you must remember one thing: you must keep your mouth shut about what happened today. Otherwise, it will not only cause me some trouble, but it will also not be a good thing for you."

"Senior, rest assured, I naturally know this. The people of the Golden Blade Sect are vengeful; even if not for anything else, for the sake of my own life, I would never dare to spread this matter."

Hearing Song Qingming’s reminder, the old man in yellow robes hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Song Qingming was not a cultivator from the "Tianhai Cultivation World," so for him, offending a Jin Dan power like the "Golden Blade Sect" was not something he needed to worry about.

The reason he reminded the old man in yellow robes was just out of habitual caution.

Seeing the man carefully agree, Song Qingming nodded with satisfaction, picked up the array book in his hand, and said to him, "I am also somewhat interested in this thing. If it is convenient for you, I will accept it directly."

"Convenient, of course it is convenient! This array book was originally something I wanted to offer to you, Senior. It is this junior’s honor that you like it."

Hearing that Song Qingming was interested in the array book he had written, the old man in yellow robes hurriedly agreed happily.

Seeing the old man so sensible, Song Qingming did not treat him unfairly and took out a second-rank high-grade magic artifact from his body and threw it to the old man in yellow robes as a spiritual item in exchange for the array book.

This time, the old man in yellow robes did not stand on ceremony with Song Qingming and accepted it generously.

After completing this transaction, Song Qingming was very satisfied and said to him, "I have nothing else here. You may do as you please next. There are dangers everywhere in this secret realm; you still need to be careful when traveling alone."

"Many thanks for the reminder, Senior. This junior originally entered the secret realm with several fellow Daoists, but we were forced to scatter after encountering people from the Golden Blade Sect on the way."

"Now that I am alone, it is difficult to face the dangers here. I do not want to continue risking exploring the secret realm and intend to find a suitable teleportation location to leave here early."

Every cultivator who enters the secret realm receives a teleportation token in advance.

However, although this teleportation token can be used at any time, it takes a certain amount of time to cast the spell to activate it, and the commotion when using it is also very large, making it easy for surrounding cultivators to discover one's location.

Cultivators like the old man in yellow robes who want to leave early must first find a relatively hidden place to cast the spell to activate the teleportation token so that they can be safer.

Seeing that the man wanted to leave the secret realm, Song Qingming did not say much, nodded slightly at him, and said, "Hmm! You have obtained so many things, which can be considered some fortune. Being able to know when to advance and retreat is not a bad thing. Then take care of yourself!"

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he turned around, took down the array he had set up at the cave entrance, then took out the "Phantom Boat," transformed into a white streak of light, and left the valley directly.

Looking at the streak of light that had disappeared in the distant sky, the old man in yellow robes finally confirmed the fact that Song Qingming had left and slowly let out a breath.

Having cultivated for so many years, the old man in yellow robes had encountered many Jin Dan cultivators, but most of them were high and mighty and looked down on small Foundation Establishment cultivators like them.

A Jin Dan cultivator like Song Qingming, who took a fancy to the things he had and was willing to exchange them fairly with spirit stones without wanting to take advantage of him, was indeed the first he had ever seen.

If it weren't for the thousands of spirit stones and a second-rank high-grade magic artifact in his hand, he might have thought that what had just happened was a dream.

"Although this person acts somewhat strangely, he has quite a bit of integrity. I never thought I would actually meet a kind soul today!" (End of chapter)

"It's Jingyun! Oh my, you child, you are really spoiled by your grandmother. You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth when doing things, and you almost ruined a major event.

I am going to the top of the mountain to see the Ancestor now, you hurry up and invite the person up for me.

Remember, be polite when speaking to others. If the person cannot be invited up, I will have your grandmother ground you tomorrow. If you don't break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, you won't be allowed to go out in the future."

"Ah! Grandfather, could he really be the Ancestor's disciple!"

Facing Song Linyu, who was full of doubts, Song Yuanfang just glared at him with a serious face, then ignored him, took the letter in his hand, and left the family's "Council Hall" directly.

"Linyu, Bai Jingyun is indeed the disciple accepted by the Patriarch back then. You really almost caused trouble. Hurry up and invite the person up! The Great Elder loves you the most on weekdays, he won't really ground you."

Seeing Song Linyu still standing blankly on the spot, the few Song family cultivators sitting on the side hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, which made Song Linyu, who hadn't reacted yet, feel a bit more settled in his heart.

"Sigh, that guy's cultivation is not much higher than mine, who knew he would be the Ancestor's disciple? Can this be blamed on me!"

After confirming the other party's true identity, Song Linyu didn't dare to delay anymore and hurriedly walked down the mountain with a trace of grievance.

In the "Meeting Immortal Pavilion" on the top of the mountain, Song Qingming, who was playing chess with Song Qingyu, suddenly saw a disciple walking up from below softly and hurriedly shifted his gaze over.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, the Great Elder has come."

"Tell them to come up first!" After Song Qingming replied faintly, he put down the chess piece in his hand.

"Seventh Brother, you go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me." Seeing that Song Qingming seemed to have something to say to him, Song Qingyu hurriedly waved his hand first and lowered his head to study the chess game before him again.

Seeing this, Song Qingming smiled and didn't say anything more, turned around, and sat down on the side.

Before long, Song Yuanfang brought a white-clothed boy with a somewhat handsome appearance before him.

"Disciple pays respects to Master!"

"Hmm! After not seeing you for a few years, I didn't expect your cultivation, Jingyun, to have reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. I think breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining is not far off. It can be seen that you haven't been slack in your cultivation.

Get up and speak first!"

Seeing Bai Jingyun, whose appearance was much more mature than before, Song Qingming first praised him, then nodded slightly to signal him to get up and stand.

Facing the Master who was still somewhat strange to him, Bai Jingyun, who was a bit nervous, took a breath and then said with a trace of sadness:

"Master! My grandfather, he... he is already failing!" (End of chapter)
