Thinking of this, Song Qingming couldn't help but reveal a smile.

He had eradicated the great demon Ma Wuchen this time, making a great contribution to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range immortal cultivation world, and obtaining these opportunities and spiritual items could also be considered the favor and reward of this heavenly path to him.

After stepping forward to check this set of arrays and seeing that there were no major problems, Song Qingming immediately took action to dismantle the entire set of arrays in front of him and put it into his storage bag.

Located at the center of the array was a circular jade disk magic treasure, which was also the array disk that Ma Wuchen used to set up this array, and the pressure emitted from it had reached the fourth-grade low-tier.

Through soul-searching Ma Wuchen, Song Qingming had already learned the name of this magic treasure, "Spirit-Heart Jade Disk."

Although this "Spirit-Heart Jade Disk" had no powerful divine abilities, taking it out alone was also a fourth-grade low-tier magic treasure that could assist cultivators in their cultivation.

It could add some effects of calming the mind and concentrating during cultivation, helping cultivators better concentrate their energy and not be disturbed by external objects or inner demons during cultivation.

After carefully putting away the "Spirit-Heart Jade Disk" in his hand, Song Qingming's gaze swept lightly, and he discovered a white jade pendant made of the same material not far beside it.

Seeing this, a smile immediately appeared on Song Qingming's face, and he stepped forward to pick it up, soon seeing the array-setting classics he wanted most on the back of the jade pendant.

This array that could assist cultivators in breaking through to the Nascent Soul was set up by Ma Wuchen through the guidance of the jade pendant, using the "Spirit-Heart Jade Disk" as the array eye, and slowly collecting materials.

If there was no help from the jade pendant, even if Song Qingming dismantled the array-setting materials here and took them back, it would not be so easy to set up the great array next time he wanted to, and I am afraid it would take a lot of time to figure it out.

He had basically obtained everything he wanted, and Song Qingming was very satisfied in his heart at this moment. After taking another look at the empty stone room, he walked out slowly.

After leaving the cave dwelling where Ma Wuchen was, Song Qingming immediately took out the bamboo hat and put it on his head again, and then took out the "Phantom Boat," instantly turning into a streak of white light and disappearing from the sky above "Reef Island."

Looking at the "Reef Island" that was getting further and further behind him, Song Qingming, who was still a bit excited, could not hide the joy on his face.

This time he obtained the "Spirit-Heart Jade Disk" and the array to assist in breaking through to the Nascent Soul, plus the "Thunder Infant Fruit" he snatched from the "Wind-Thunder Hall" earlier.

These auxiliary core-forming spiritual items that were extremely difficult to find in the outside world, he had actually found two in a row in less than three years, which made Song Qingming feel like a dream when he recalled it at this moment.

Even though he knew that breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm was not an easy task for a cultivator, at this moment, with these two core-forming spiritual items on him, he invisibly had a bit more confidence in his future impact on the Nascent Soul realm.

Just when Song Qingming was full of infinite longing for his future path, he had only left "Reef Island" for a few dozen miles when he suddenly saw a streak of purple light approaching his position quickly from the side in the distance.

The speed of the person coming was no slower than the "Phantom Boat" under Song Qingming's feet, and it seemed that they were clearly coming for him who was on the road, which also made Song Qingming frown.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be getting closer and closer to him, just when Song Qingming wanted to speed up the escape speed under his feet to shake off the other party, a sound transmission entered his ears first.

"This fellow Daoist, I, Liu Qingyin of the Profound Origin Sect, have something to ask, can you please stop for a moment?"

The two were still three or four miles apart, and Song Qingming had already felt a powerful pressure coming from the other party's position. Obviously, this person's cultivation was not below his own.

Not sure if there were other "Profound Origin Sect" cultivators besides this person, after pondering for a moment, Song Qingming still took the initiative to slowly stop the flying boat under his feet and turned to look in the direction of the purple light.

The next moment, a woman in purple palace attire with a graceful figure flashed to Song Qingming's side.

Liu Qingyin, dressed in purple, first scanned Song Qingming, and seeing the other party wearing a bamboo hat to cover his face, a look of doubt instantly appeared on her face, and she carefully bowed to Song Qingming.

"I am Liu Qingyin, an Elder of the Profound Origin Sect of Song Guo. I don't know how to address this fellow Daoist?"

Having formed his core for so many years, although Song Qingming had not come to Song Guo much, he had heard a little about several famous late-stage Golden Core cultivators in the "Profound Origin Sect."

The Liu Qingyin before him was not only an Elder of the Profound Origin Sect but also the second-highest cultivation Golden Core cultivator in the entire Profound Origin Sect, and her cultivation was slightly higher than Song Qingming's, having already broken through to the ninth layer of Golden Core before him.

After bowing to Liu Qingyin in return, Song Qingming smiled and answered the other party: "I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Liu's great name. I am Luo Yulong, a loose cultivator from the East Sea, passing through your precious land, greetings.

I don't know what you have to stop me for, Fellow Daoist Liu, please speak directly, so that I can continue on my way!"

Because the relationship between the two sects was not good, in front of the "Profound Origin Sect" cultivators, Song Qingming naturally could not reveal his true identity, and the voice he spoke with was also much rougher after he deliberately disguised it.

Luo Yulong was a loose cultivator who had hunted demonic beasts at sea with Song Qingming in the East Sea back then. This person's cultivation had already reached the peak of the sixth layer of Golden Core decades ago, and now, if there were no accidents, his cultivation was not much different from Song Qingming's.

Hearing Song Qingming claim to be a loose cultivator from the "East Sea immortal cultivation world," Liu Qingyin's complexion did not change much, and she continued to ask: "Fellow Daoist Luo, it's like this. A few days ago, our sect discovered a late-stage Golden Core demonic cultivator nearby and is trying our best to search for the traces of this demon. Have you ever encountered any people of unknown origin, Fellow Daoist?"

When Liu Qingyin spoke, she stared closely at the front, and her spiritual sense also began to spread and cover Song Qingming's position.

Seeing that the other party wanted to use spiritual sense to check his background, Song Qingming immediately operated the "Soul-Devouring Art" in his body to block Liu Qingyin's spiritual sense in front of him, and replied with a somewhat displeased tone:

"I am just passing through here on my way, and I have not seen any abnormal situation nearby. Your actions, could it be that you suspect that I am the demonic cultivator thief you mentioned?"

Just after her spiritual sense touched Song Qingming's side, Liu Qingyin instantly felt a more powerful barrier formed by spiritual sense, which blocked her spiritual sense directly back, which also caused a look of surprise to instantly appear on her face.

Because Liu Qingyin chose to practice the path of alchemy, she had practiced a technique to improve her own spiritual sense.

Since Liu Qingyin's cultivation broke through to the ninth layer of Golden Core, her spiritual sense could be considered very powerful among Golden Core cultivators of the same rank, and it was very rare to encounter someone who could be compared with her.

And the "Luo Yulong" before her had a cultivation of only the eighth layer of Golden Core, and claimed to be a loose cultivator. She didn't expect that he could overpower her in spiritual sense, which also made Liu Qingyin show a bit of wariness toward the person before her.

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Luo misunderstood, that's not what I meant! The demonic thief is hiding here and harming one side. As a righteous sect, our Profound Origin Sect cannot let them be at large, so we dispatched sect disciples to search and encircle this demon.

It's just that the demonic thief has many means, and we have to be careful, so I hope Fellow Daoist Luo can understand, and don't blame me for this.

For any offense just now, I will apologize to you here first!"

After Liu Qingyin finished speaking, she bowed to Song Qingming's position again, and her tone and attitude when speaking were obviously much more polite than before.

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to withdraw her spiritual sense, Song Qingming's complexion finally eased a bit, and he nodded: "Eliminating demons and defending the path is the duty of our righteous path cultivators. You don't need to say more about this, Fellow Daoist. Naturally, I can understand your sect.

If it weren't for the fact that I have important matters to attend to today, perhaps I could have helped you, Fellow Daoist.

Forget it! Since you have spoken to this point, Fellow Daoist, if I don't prove my identity, I certainly won't be able to explain it to you. I don't know if this thing can dispel your thoughts, Fellow Daoist."

After taking the initiative to explain, Song Qingming's right hand was lifted lightly, and then with a movement of magic power in his hand, a large ball of white flame instantly appeared.

Seeing the "Profound Yang Blazing Flame" released by Song Qingming's spellcasting, Liu Qingyin soon felt a very pure pure-yang spiritual energy from it, and the face that was still a bit worried just now instantly felt relieved.

The "Profound Yang Blazing Flame" divine ability practiced by Song Qingming contained pure-yang spiritual energy, which was the nemesis of demonic cultivators and ghost path cultivators. This thing could not be faked by demonic path cultivators.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, I won't disturb Fellow Daoist Luo anymore. If you have free time in the future, Fellow Daoist, you can also come to my Profound Origin Sect as a guest, and I will apologize to you then."

Seeing that the other party had dispelled the suspicion in her heart, Song Qingming put away the "Profound Yang Blazing Flame" in his hand and waved his hand at her with a smile:

"Easy to say! I have lived in the East Sea for a long time, and this is my first time traveling to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range. After I finish the things on my hands, I will definitely take time to visit your sect.

At that time, I hope Fellow Daoist Liu can give me some advice, and don't forget me."

"I wouldn't dare!"

After bowing and saying goodbye to Liu Qingyin, Song Qingming immediately urged the flying boat under his feet, turning into a streak of white light and disappearing into the horizon! And Liu Qingyin, who was standing in place, looked at the direction Song Qingming left, and couldn't help but recall the words he had just said in her mouth.

For some reason, although Liu Qingyin could be sure that the person before her was not a demonic cultivator, she always felt that Song Qingming's cultivation and divine abilities were somewhat unusual, and he didn't look like someone from a loose cultivator background.

It was just that she went out this time to search for the lair of the demonic cultivator nearby for the sect.

Regardless of what Song Qingming's identity was, and whether he really just happened to pass by here, as long as the other party could prove that he had nothing to do with the demonic cultivator, she had no reason to forcibly keep others.

After pondering for a while, Liu Qingyin still shook her head lightly, and then turned into a streak of light and moved away from this place.

After fleeing forward for more than a hundred miles, seeing that no one was chasing behind him, Song Qingming, who was standing on the flying boat, finally relaxed a bit.

Just after leaving Ma Wuchen's cave dwelling, encountering "Profound Origin Sect" cultivators on the road really made Song Qingming not expect it.

Liu Qingyin and the others actually moved so fast that they found the vicinity of "Reef Island."

Fortunately, Song Qingming took the risk to come here this time and took away the spiritual items in Ma Wuchen's cave dwelling in advance.

Otherwise, once the people from the "Profound Origin Sect" found "Reef Island" one step ahead, Song Qingming would have to return empty-handed if he looked for it later. The spirit stones, magic treasures, and "Spirit-Heart Jade Disk" on his body would all slip through his fingers and fall into the hands of others.

Just now, Liu Qingyin was full of searching for the demonic cultivator and was not too curious about Song Qingming's identity, which could be considered to have indirectly done a great favor to Song Qingming.

Without absolute certainty to escape quickly, Song Qingming also didn't want to fight with the other party.

If he attracted other "Profound Origin Sect" cultivators nearby, it would not be so easy to escape, and it would likely lead to Song Qingming exposing his identity in the end.

Now that he had left "Reef Island" for a distance, Song Qingming also gradually felt relieved and slowed down the escape speed of the "Phantom Boat" a little.

An hour later, a streak of light flew over the north side of "Xufengdao," and looking at the island that was getting closer and closer, Song Qingming's face gradually returned to a calm expression.

This trip to take the treasure only took most of the day, and Song Qingming, who set off facing the morning sun, until he successfully returned to "Xufengdao," the sun in the sky still hadn't rushed to set.

Just after returning to the vicinity of the cave dwelling, Song Qingming saw from afar that Song Qingyu had brought Li Xiuning to greet him, and a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Qingyu, why did you come out so soon?"

Seeing the look of worry on Song Qingming's face, Song Qingyu hurriedly smiled and nodded: "Seventh Brother, rest assured, the blood poison on my body has been cleared almost, and other injuries can be slowly recuperated after going back, it doesn't matter.

The great battle on the deserted island that day is afraid that it has already alarmed the people of the Profound Origin Sect, and it is not safe for us to stay here, so let's go back early!"

During these days of healing, Song Qingyu was also worried in her heart, afraid that the people of the "Profound Origin Sect" would secretly track down to "Xufengdao."

Therefore, after Song Qingyu cleared the blood poison from her body in seclusion, she hurriedly left seclusion, not wanting to delay their precious time to escape because of her injuries.

Hearing what Song Qingyu said, Song Qingming naturally understood her thoughts immediately, sighed with a smile, and didn't say anything more.

After the few of them returned to the cave dwelling to pack up, they left "Xufengdao" facing the sunset that day, and then traveled south all the way.

Until a few days later, when they entered the territory of Wu Guo in the southeast direction, they completely set aside the worry in their hearts and returned to "Qinghe County" in Wei Guo slowly.

Outside the "Chiyanfang" in the northeast corner of Qinghe County, a streak of white light flew quickly, and not long after, it landed on a low mountain a few miles outside the marketplace.

After taking a look at the "Chiyanfang" not far away, Song Qingming turned to Li Xiuning, who was standing on the flying boat, and said: "It's not convenient to go over there, so I'll send you here.

You must remember that the matter of us going out to search for treasures this time cannot be mentioned to anyone, including the cultivators of my Song family, who cannot be let know.

Otherwise, once the news is leaked, I am afraid it will bring some unnecessary trouble to you and me, so this matter must be carefully considered."

"Rest assured, Senior, Xiuning knows the severity of this matter. Even if you don't remind me, Senior, I wouldn't tell others." Hearing Song Qingming's reminder, Li Xiuning hurriedly nodded and agreed seriously.

Before going to Song Guo to search for the "Heaven and Earth Divine Thunder" this time, Song Qingming had already made her swear an oath not to tell others about this matter, and externally they also claimed to be hunting demons in "Taiyue Lake" in the south.

Although there were some twists and turns in the process of searching for treasures, fortunately, they successfully returned to Wei Guo, and Li Xiuning also received many rewards from Song Qingming.

For Li Xiuning, being able to save her life from the hands of the Golden Core demonic beast and the demonic cultivator was already a great blessing, so how could she dare to publicize this matter with others.

After hearing Li Xiuning's answer, Song Qingming waved his hand again and responded:

"Good! You go first, and when the family prepares the Barrier-Breaking Pill, I will send someone to notify you to come back and take it.

If you encounter anything in the future that is not convenient to tell Yuanhao and the others, you can also come directly to Mount Funiu to find me and Qingyu."

"Thank you, Senior Song, for sending me!"

Seeing that Song Qingming gave her the privilege of being able to directly see the two Golden Core Elders of the Song family, Li Xiuning hurriedly smiled, nodded, and thanked him.

Subsequently, she jumped down from the "Phantom Boat," stepped on a flying sword, turned into a streak of sword light, and flew toward the "Chiyanfang" direction.

After taking a detour and sending Li Xiuning to "Chiyanfang" first, Song Qingming urged the flying boat under his feet, changed direction, and brought Song Qingyu back to the family.

Looking at the very familiar "Mount Funiu" that was getting closer and closer in the distance, the two of them also gradually relaxed, and both of them revealed a smile that they should have.

"Qingyu, don't let Siyuan know about the Red Blood Old Demon, so as to save her from worrying about us. It's better for fewer people to know about this."

After returning from Ma Wuchen's cave dwelling that day, Song Qingming had already informed Song Qingyu of the process of him annihilating Ma Wuchen's soul and the threat from the "Red Blood Old Demon" later.

At this moment, seeing a trace of solemnity on Song Qingming's face, Song Qingyu immediately understood the worry in his heart and comforted him with a smile: "Seventh Brother! Don't worry too much about this. The so-called car will find its way to the mountain, as long as we work together, there will always be a way to solve the problem.

Moreover, now that Uncle Bai has successfully condensed the Nascent Soul, the sect already has two Nascent Soul ancestors.

That old guy has been hiding for so many years, and he might not really have the courage to come to our Wei Guo to find trouble in the future.

As long as we strengthen the mountain-protecting array in the future and keep in touch with the sect at any time, even if the Red Blood Old Demon really comes, he might not be able to get any cheap.

Maybe by then, we can also knock out a few teeth of this old demon, and let these demonic cultivators see our power."

Seeing Song Qingyu on the side saying this while showing a confident look, Song Qingming couldn't help but smile and shake his head at her: "Those Nascent Soul old demons are all old monsters who have lived for thousands of years, how can they be so easy to deal with? If you think of them too simply, we will suffer a big loss in the future.

But you are right, since the matter has already happened, it is useless for us to worry blindly, we still have to slowly think of a way to solve it."

"Hmm! Seventh Brother, rest assured, no matter what decision you make in the future, I will support you."

Seeing the worry in Song Qingming's words slowly dissipate, Song Qingyu also nodded and smiled, saying the words she most wanted to tell Song Qingming in her heart with a firm gaze.

As the flying boat under the two of them slowly entered the mountain-protecting array of "Mount Funiu," the expressions on Song Qingming and Song Qingyu's faces gradually returned to normal.

Learning that Song Qingming and the other had returned successfully, Huang Siyuan, who was in seclusion refining pills, also immediately left seclusion and came to the "Hui Xian Pavilion" on the top of the mountain.

Seeing that Song Qingyu was not lightly injured, Huang Siyuan felt a bit worried in her heart and asked about the two of them.

Seeing this, Song Qingming had to briefly tell her about their trip to Song Guo to search for the "Heaven and Earth Divine Thunder" and the fierce battle with Ma Wuchen.

It was just that, in order not to let Huang Siyuan worry too much, Song Qingming still chose to hide the matter about the "Red Blood Old Demon" later.

Learning that they had encountered a peak Golden Core demon, which led to Song Qingyu's injury, Huang Siyuan also felt a lingering fear for this.

Huang Siyuan naturally knew Song Qingyu's cultivation and divine abilities. Practicing the sword cultivation path, her real strength was no less than that of an ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Even Song Qingyu was injured so heavily, if it were her who went with Song Qingming, I am afraid she wouldn't have such good luck to be able to come back.

Thinking of this, Huang Siyuan also had lingering fears in her heart. It seems that she still has to seize the time to improve her strength in the future.

Seeing the worry on Huang Siyuan's face, Song Qingming hurriedly comforted her and took out part of the harvest from going out this time, which diverted their attention.

This trip to Song Guo, if we talk about the biggest harvest of Song Qingming and the other, in addition to the "Spirit-Heart Jade Disk" found in Ma Wuchen's cave dwelling later, it was naturally the "Heaven and Earth Divine Thunder" he found in the cave.

Relying on devouring and refining this "Heaven and Earth Divine Thunder," the cultivation technique "Devouring Heaven Imperial Thunder Art" practiced by Song Qingming also successfully advanced to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, which also added a lot of help for him to deal with Ma Wuchen later.

Learning that Song Qingming successfully found and refined the "Heaven and Earth Divine Thunder," Huang Siyuan and the other were also very happy for him in their hearts.

In addition, the remaining magic treasures, spiritual talismans, and numerous spirit stones found in Ma Wuchen's cave dwelling, as well as the materials on the "Eight-Legged Demon King" that Song Qingming killed earlier.

If all these spiritual items were added together, the total value had already exceeded 300,000 spirit stones.

Seeing the various high-level spiritual items and the mountain of spirit stones that Song Qingming took out, Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu couldn't help but feel a bit excited in their hearts at this moment.

"Husband, with so many spirit stones, you have really made a fortune this time. I think these spirit stones added together are enough for you to search for a spiritual item to assist in core-forming."

Hearing Huang Siyuan's suggestion, Song Qingming shook his head slightly at her: "These magic treasures are not easy to deal with for the time being, so let's wait until there is an opportunity in the future to make plans.

As for the spirit stones, I want to first upgrade the spiritual vein of Mount Funiu to the third-grade high-tier, and then replace it with a mountain-protecting array with more powerful power." (End of chapter)
