Chapter 806: Lei Lei Yuanhai Trading Assembly, Mount Wufeng Island

Since the family had Huang Huang Siyuan, this high-tier alchemist, the entire Song family had benefited greatly.

Whether it was Song Song Qingming and Song Song Qingyu, or the numerous low-tier cultivators under the family, almost all had taken and refined pills refined by Huang Huang Siyuan.

Song Song Qingming naturally supported Huang Huang Siyuan's idea of wanting to improve her alchemy skills and immediately nodded in agreement.

Even without considering this reason, as a Daoist couple who had supported each other for many years, Song Song Qingming would also try his best to find the high-tier alchemy furnace she wanted if he had the ability.

Seeing Song Song Qingming agree to her request, Huang Huang Siyuan smiled slightly, said no more, and turned to pick up the teapot on the table again.

Time passed, and soon a few months went by. On this day, Song Song Yuanhao, Song Song Linrui, and Song Song Yuanqian, three Foundation Establishment elders of the Song family, came to the family council hall together.

As soon as the three walked in, Song Song Yuanfang immediately reached out and dismissed the few juniors who were assisting him in managing affairs.

"Song Yuanqian, these things are the high-tier spiritual objects the family has recently collected to take to Lei Lei Yuanhai. You must all guard them carefully."

"Remember, no matter what happens, you must discuss it with Seventh Great-Uncle first; do not let any problems arise."

After Song Song Yuanfang finished speaking, he immediately handed the few storage bags in his hand to Song Song Yuanqian and the others, and carefully informed them again of the numerous spiritual objects contained within.

The things in these few storage bags were collected by the Song family over several months into the family treasury, almost all of which were high-tier spiritual objects of the second tier or above.

Song Song Yuanqian, as a family elder who had managed the "Treasury Pavilion" for many years, had also participated in the process of collecting spiritual objects and was already very familiar with this, so she hurriedly nodded to Song Song Yuanfang.

"Sixteenth Brother! Rest assured, I have a count of these things in my heart; nothing will happen."

"Besides, with the clan leader leading the team this time, we are just following along to broaden our horizons and help out; how would we dare to make decisions without authorization!"

While the few were talking, a streak of light fell from the top of "Mount Funiu Mountain," followed by Song Song Qingming in green clothes appearing outside the "Council Hall," and then he walked in with large strides.

"Pay respects to the clan leader!"

Seeing Song Song Qingming walk in, Song Song Yuanfang and the others hurriedly stepped forward to bow and pay their respects.

Seeing the three outstanding juniors in the family, Song Song Qingming nodded slightly and waved his hand to signal them to stand up.

Apart from Song Song Yuanfang, the cultivation of other Foundation Establishment elders in the Song family had also improved somewhat over these years.

As the only spirit-root cultivator in the family, Song Song Yuanhao's cultivation had now reached the peak of the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment, only one step away from breaking through to the ninth layer, and he could enter the peak of Foundation Establishment at any time.

Since achieving Foundation Establishment, Song Song Yuanqian's cultivation speed had not been particularly fast because her spirit-root talent was average.

However, having managed the family's "Treasury Pavilion" for these years, she had not been short of spirit stones or pills, and her cultivation had also broken through to the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment in an orderly manner. Without any accidents, Song Song Yuanqian would certainly be able to successfully advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment in the future.

And among the new generation of the "Lin" generation of the Song family, Song Song Linrui, who had the most outstanding spirit-root talent, although he had not achieved Foundation Establishment for long, his cultivation had already left behind several clansmen who had achieved Foundation Establishment around the same time as him.

At less than fifty years old, his cultivation had already broken through to the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment, becoming a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Song Song Linrui's cultivation speed after Foundation Establishment had even surpassed that of Song Song Yuanli, another dual-spirit-root cultivator of the Song family back then, and he had become the benchmark for all Qi Condensation clansmen in the family today.

However, Song Song Linrui could have such a cultivation speed, apart from his own outstanding spirit-root talent, naturally could not be separated from the all-out support of the family's few Old Ancestors.

Over the years, Song Song Qingming and Song Song Qingyu would often set aside some time during their cultivation leisure to point out these Foundation Establishment junior clansmen, among whom Song Song Linrui and Song Chen Xuanfeng benefited the most.

Because he received confirmed news from the sect that this time they would go to the "Lei Lei Yuanhai" cultivation world to attend the trading assembly, they would have to go to the East Sea to take a treasure ship.

Upon learning this news, Song Song Qingming had the idea of taking a few juniors from his family along.

For one, it would allow these juniors to go out and broaden their horizons; for another, when they got to the trading assembly, he would have a few people to use by his side, so he wouldn't have to do everything himself, which could save him a lot of energy to search for the spiritual objects he needed.

After deciding on this idea in his heart, Song Song Qingming discussed it with Song Song Yuanfang and finally chose to take Song Song Yuanqian and the others to the "Lei Lei Yuanhai" cultivation world.

Seeing that Song Song Yuanqian and the others were ready, Song Song Qingming took the list of spiritual objects that Song Song Yuanfang had taken the initiative to hand over, glanced at it slightly, put it away, and then spat out two words lightly.

"Set off!"

Not long after, a streak of white light passed through the "Mount Funiu Mountain" mountain-protecting formation from mid-air, then headed south all the way to "Mount Guyang Mountain," where the "Xiaoyao Sect" was located.

Like the Song family, the "Xiaoyao Sect" also attached great importance to participating in the "Lei Lei Yuanhai" trading assembly this time.

The entire sect had also gone through a mobilization for this, moving out almost all the high-tier spiritual objects collected in the "Merit Pavilion" over the years.

When Song Song Qingming and the others arrived at "Mount Guyang Mountain," the sect disciples of the "Merit Pavilion" were still moving high-tier spiritual objects onto the sect's large flying ship.

After inquiring with Xu Cheng Ziyan, Song Song Qingming learned that it would take a few more days to set off, so he stayed at "Mount Guyang Mountain" with Song Song Yuanhao and the others first.

On the night before setting off, Song Song Xinyu, who learned the news that Song Song Qingming was going to the "Lei Lei Yuanhai" cultivation world, brought Song Song Linxi to visit, wanting Song Song Qingming to take her along to broaden her horizons.

Regarding this, Song Song Qingming did not choose to refuse and immediately nodded in agreement, letting Song Song Linxi follow by his side.

Since they were going to take a treasure ship from the East Sea, taking one more person wouldn't cost Song Song Qingming and the others many spirit stones and wouldn't have any major impact.

And the reason Song Song Xinyu let Song Song Linxi follow to "Lei Lei Yuanhai," apart from wanting her to go out and broaden her horizons, was also to take this opportunity to let Song Song Linxi have a chance to follow by Song Song Qingming's side.

It could not only let her become familiar with the main family clansmen of the "Mount Funiu Mountain" Song family but also let Song Song Linxi have more contact with Song Song Qingming, the family's Jin Dan Chen Chen Laozu.

Even if it was just getting some verbal pointers, this would be of no small help to Song Song Linxi's future Dao path.

After staying at "Mount Guyang Mountain" for a few days, the "Xiaoyao Sect" finally moved all the spiritual objects that needed to be brought onto the flying ship.

Under the instructions of Bai Bai Yuxian, the Nascent Soul Chen Chen Laozu, this large sect flying ship loaded with supplies soon left "Mount Guyang Mountain" in a grand manner, heading east straight for the East Sea cultivation world.

This time, apart from Bai Bai Yuxian, the Nascent Soul Chen Chen Laozu, the "Xiaoyao Sect" also sent many cultivators to participate in the "Lei Lei Yuanhai" cultivation world trading assembly.

Among them were five Jin Dan elders of the sect: Song Song Qingming, Chu Chu Fengping, Zhang Zhang Tieyang, Chen Chen Xuanxin, and Yun Nishang, as well as more than forty Foundation Establishment disciples of varying cultivation levels.

After the flying ship passed through "Mount Mount Yunwu," it soon entered the territory of Zheng Guo in the east and stopped outside a workshop in the middle of Zheng Guo.

Seeing the arrival of the "Xiaoyao Sect" flying ship, the "Minghe Sect" and the "Star Sect," two Jin Dan sects in Zheng Guo, also sent cultivators with spiritual objects to board the flying ship.

Although the "Minghe Sect" and the "Star Sect" both belonged to Zheng Guo, they had always been at odds with each other and often fought over sect territory and cultivation resources.

The two sides had fought for hundreds of years, causing the entire Zheng Guo cultivation world to suffer heavy losses, and they had long been at odds with countless grudges.

In recent years, in order to join forces to counter-attack the northern demon race, Nascent Soul sects like the "Xiaoyao Sect" and the "Zhao Tianji Sect" took the initiative to mediate for the two sects, which made them temporarily put down the grudges in their hearts.

Although the two sects stopped fighting and made peace, the grudges in their hearts always remained. Even now, after boarding the "Xiaoyao Sect" flying ship, the cultivators of the "Minghe Sect" and the "Star Sect" did not greet each other when they met.

Seeing this scene, Song Song Qingming couldn't help but sigh in his heart; this fragile peace between the two sects likely wouldn't last long, and both sides would sooner or later have a great battle.

Although there was still a "Mount Mount Yunwu" between the Song family and Zheng Guo, there were still some small paths between the territories of the two sides that allowed low-tier cultivators to travel back and forth.

He didn't know if the Song family territory in the west would be implicated when the two sects of Zheng Guo fought again.

After the cultivators of the "Minghe Sect" and the "Star Sect" came up, the flying ship set off again, heading east all the way, picking up some cultivators from other sects who were traveling together, and then crossed the "Mount Duanyun Mountain Range" into a vast ocean.

Apart from some high-tier Jin Dan cultivators, most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the flying ship were coming to the "East Sea cultivation world" for the first time. Seeing this boundless ocean, everyone couldn't help but show a bit of excitement on their faces.

Song Song Yuanqian took Song Song Linrui and Song Song Linxi and kept walking around on the flying ship to admire the beautiful scenery below. In less than a few days, the three were already very familiar with each other.

Song Song Linxi was born in "Mount Guyang Mountain" and grew up in the sect since she was young. Although she was influenced by her master, Song Song Xinyu, she had a relatively vague concept of the "Mount Funiu Mountain" Song family and didn't have much affection for it.

After getting to know Song Song Linrui, Song Song Yuanqian, and the others, and getting familiar with these peers, Song Song Linxi also gained a new understanding of the family far away.

Song Song Yuanhao, whose cultivation was stuck at the bottleneck of the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, had no interest in the scenery outside the window and had been following by Song Song Qingming's side, taking advantage of his leisure time to consult him on cultivation insights.

With the continuous development of the family, there were more and more cultivators in the clan over the years. Even with several Jin Dan Old Ancestors like Song Song Qingming sitting in command, it was inevitable that there would be some gossip below.

These people, openly or secretly, began to speculate who the next Jin Dan Chen Chen Laozu of the family would be, choosing to get on good terms with them in advance, which naturally made others who were not favored think more about it. Since his cultivation broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Song Song Yuanhao's cultivation speed had not been particularly smooth; instead, Song Song Changze and Liu Liu Yuxin, juniors in the family, had cultivated to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment one step ahead of him.

After learning the news that Song Song Changze was about to enter seclusion for Core Formation, Song Song Yuanhao felt immense pressure every time he heard his clansmen mention it, which led him to overthink and ultimately caused him to fail his last few attempts to break through the bottleneck of the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment.

Song Song Yuanhao grew up in a place like "Mount Tuoyun Mountain" where loose cultivators were mixed, and he had long seen many human relationships and warmth and coldness. Although he had achieved Foundation Establishment for many years, his heart was still relatively sensitive and easily disturbed by others' words.

After learning about this, in order to help him calm his mind, Song Song Qingming chose to specially take Song Song Yuanhao out, intending to let him stay away from the family for a while and put down the grudge in his heart.

Although practitioners of the Dao have shed their mortal bodies, the growth speed of an individual's state of mind is ultimately not as fast as the physical body, and it still requires a certain amount of time and experience to slowly polish.

Even though Song Song Qingming had cultivated for so many years and his Dao heart was far firmer than Song Song Yuanhao and the others, he still couldn't help but sigh occasionally when he encountered clansmen or friends leaving, unable to completely shake off these emotional bonds.

During the ten-plus days on the flying ship, taking advantage of Song Song Yuanhao consulting him on cultivation troubles, Song Song Qingming also patiently guided him on his personal state of mind.

Regarding this, although Song Song Yuanhao didn't have much feeling at first.

But as the flying ship gradually moved away from the "Fuyun Mountain Range," Song Song Yuanhao gradually felt a sense of relief in his heart and soon understood Song Song Qingming's intention in teaching him.

By the time the flying ship stopped at an island named "Mount Wufeng Island" in the "East Sea cultivation world," Song Song Yuanhao had slowly forgotten the pressure that had been weighing on his heart for many years and began to take the initiative to walk off the flying ship and stroll around the workshop on the island with Song Song Yuanqian and the others.

"Mount Wufeng Island" is one of the largest islands in the East Sea cultivation world near the outer sea.

Because natural disasters like beast tides and heavenly winds rarely appear here, it is also a rare and relatively safe place around the dangerous outer sea.

Therefore, "Mount Wufeng Island" has also become the largest port in the "East Sea cultivation world" facing other parts of the outer sea, gathering thousands of treasure ships of all sizes, leading to various islands in the outer sea.

There are even high-tier fourth-tier treasure ships that can help cultivators cross the vast outer sea and reach the "Lei Lei Yuanhai" cultivation world at the end of the ocean.

"Mount Wufeng Island" does not belong to any one sect but is jointly managed by many large cultivation sects nearby, so the cultivators coming and going on the island are also very mixed.

Not only are there local cultivators and loose cultivators from the "East Sea cultivation world," but there are also many foreign cultivators from other cultivation worlds active here.

Recently, because of the news that the "Lei Lei Yuanhai" trading assembly was being held, the number of foreign cultivators on "Mount Wufeng Island" had doubled.

However, because there are high-tier Nascent Soul cultivators sitting in command on the island all year round, compared to other places in the "East Sea cultivation world," the safety of cultivators on "Mount Wufeng Island" is relatively guaranteed.

After the flying ship arrived at "Mount Wufeng Island," because they had to wait for the "Star Sect" cultivators to gather here and continue to "Lei Lei Yuanhai" cultivation world by transferring to a high-tier treasure ship together.

Song Song Qingming and the others stayed in the workshop on the island, waiting for the "Star Sect" cultivators while exploring news about high-tier treasure ships that could go to the "Lei Lei Yuanhai" cultivation world on the island.

After staying in the workshop for a few days, Zhang Zhang Tieyang, who had nothing to do, took the initiative to find him and invited Song Song Qingming to taste the local delicious spirit food in the workshop.

Song Song Qingming was originally a somewhat greedy person. Encountering Zhang Zhang Tieyang's warm invitation, he didn't refuse too much and soon agreed, and not long after, they came to the largest restaurant on "Mount Wufeng Island" together.

Not long after the two sat down, a few delicious spirit foods with complete color, fragrance, and taste were brought up by a few maids.

"Senior Brother Song, I tasted these few dishes yesterday; they are absolutely delicious. It's not easy for us to have a chance to come here once; it would be a pity if we missed it."

"I know Senior Brother is also a lover of food, so I thought of inviting you over to taste it together today. Please don't stand on ceremony with me, Senior Brother Song."

"Oh! In that case, I am taking advantage of Junior Brother Zhang today. It's just a pity that Senior Brother Chu and the others are not free lately; otherwise, it would be more fun for a few more people to drink and chat together."

Hearing what Song Song Qingming said, Zhang Zhang Tieyang looked somewhat troubled: "Senior Brother Song is joking. After being stirred up by the Hu family last year, all the family business I had accumulated for decades was lost."

"If it weren't for the fact that life is getting harder and harder lately and I can't go on, I wouldn't have thought of running to Lei Lei Yuanhai with you to earn these few spirit stones."

"If Senior Brother Chu and Junior Sister Yun had all come today, I wouldn't be able to pay for this wine, and we might have been kicked out later."

The Zhang family represented by Zhang Zhang Tieyang had been entrenched in the "Mount Tiexian Fortress" in the northwest of Wei Guo for these years. Through years of careful operation, they had completely squeezed the declining Hu family out of their territory in the past two years.

Now, they were the true masters of the "Mount Tiexian Fortress," a third-tier mid-quality spirit vein, completely under the control of the Zhang family itself.

After the Hu family was squeezed out of "Mount Tiexian Fortress," Hu Hu Qingyun brought a group of family cultivators to "Mount Guyang Mountain" last year to complain.

Hu Hu Qingyun, who had been forced into a desperate situation by the Zhang family, also completely let go. He didn't hesitate to dig up the ashes of the clansmen who had died in the great battle with demon beasts back then and placed them directly at the sect's mountain gate.

Hu Hu Qingyun blocked the mountain gate with his clansmen for a full half a month, looking like he would rather die than give up until his goal was achieved.

The sect was also made to look too ugly by the Hu family's trouble, so they had no choice but to let Xu Cheng Ziyan, who managed the sect's worldly affairs, come forward and go to "Mount Tiexian Fortress" again to mediate the matter between the Zhang and Hu families.

In the end, it was the Zhang family who paid tens of thousands of spirit stones to help the Hu family purchase a third-tier low-quality spirit vein from the sect, and the matter was finally settled.

The Hu family also moved from "Mount Tiexian Fortress" to the vicinity of "Mount Guiyun Workshop" with the help of the sect.

Zhang Zhang Tieyang, who had gritted his teeth and bled a bit, although he had legitimately obtained "Mount Tiexian Fortress," was also depressed for a long time in his heart. This time, when he found Song Song Qingming to drink, he couldn't help but talk to him about this matter again.

Song Song Qingming naturally had long heard of the farce between the Zhang and Hu families.

It was just that Song Song Qingming had never liked to get involved in these outside trivial matters. Now hearing Zhang Zhang Tieyang bring it up again, Song Song Qingming also smiled helplessly.

Seeing Song Song Qingming not speaking, Zhang Zhang Tieyang chattered on to him, taking advantage of a bit of wine, and talked about his grudges with the Hu family, scolding Hu Hu Qingyun and the entire Hu family.

Song Song Qingming, who was sitting to the side tasting delicious food while patiently listening to him tell the story, nodded with a smile but still did not open his mouth to express his views on this.

"Senior Brother Song, I have seen through some things over the years. The sect clearly promised me back then that they would let my Zhang family establish a clan in Mount Tiexian Fortress."

"As a result, the Hu family made such a fuss, and Senior Sister Xu and the others didn't help me say a word, but instead wanted me to pay spirit stones for them to establish a clan and settle down. You tell me, what kind of reason is this."

"Junior Brother Zhang, some words cannot be spoken casually outside. You have had too much to drink today; I think we should stop here and go back first."

Hearing Zhang Zhang Tieyang's words becoming somewhat excessive, Song Song Qingming couldn't help but change his expression slightly and took the initiative to remind him.

Seeing that Song Song Qingming's tone was somewhat wrong, Zhang Zhang Tieyang also seemed to sober up a bit, hurriedly shook his head, and bowed to Song Song Qingming: "Senior Brother Song is right. I was a bit drunk and spoke out of turn today."

"I hope Senior Brother Song will not take offense!"

"Sigh! How can a junior brother's drunken words be taken seriously? It's just that there are many people coming and going here, and it's mixed. I am doing this for Junior Brother Zhang's own good; don't think too much about it."

Zhang Zhang Tieyang nodded with a smile, then beckoned and sent out a sound transmission, calling a young woman in purple clothes who was guarding the door inside.

"Chen Yurong, go and settle the bill below, and pack two pots of spirit wine to take back later."

After the woman in purple nodded and left, Zhang Zhang Tieyang turned his head and asked Song Song Qingming with some profound meaning: "Senior Brother Song, what do you think of this junior of mine?"

This woman in purple was beautiful and elegant, and her cultivation was not high, only at the second layer of Foundation Establishment. She seemed to have achieved Foundation Establishment not long ago and should have successfully achieved Foundation Establishment in recent years.

This time, following Zhang Zhang Tieyang to the "Lei Lei Yuanhai" cultivation world, Song Song Qingming had thought she was another one of Zhang Zhang Tieyang's wives or concubines when he first saw her on the flying ship.

It wasn't until Zhang Zhang Tieyang introduced her just now that he realized this woman was actually one of his direct descendants, and a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Gentle and elegant, extraordinary temperament, being able to be so calm in front of you and me, this child's state of mind is also excellent."

"She shouldn't be very old. Being able to achieve Foundation Establishment so quickly, she should be at least a triple-spirit-root talent. Old Brother has good fortune; you will have successors in the future."

Hearing Song Song Qingming's praise, Zhang Zhang Tieyang couldn't help but show a smile and nodded to him: "This is the granddaughter of my third branch. She can be considered one of the more promising ones among my juniors."

"I have known Senior Brother for more than a hundred years since we met back then, and we can be considered close friends. Now that our two families are under the same sect, we should interact more with each other."

"Today, I want to form a marriage alliance with Senior Brother Song and marry Chen Yurong into Mount Funiu Mountain. I wonder if Senior Brother Song is willing to facilitate this?"

"Ah! This..."

"Our two families are not far apart, and a marriage alliance is not impossible. It's just that I don't know which junior of mine you have taken a fancy to, Junior Brother Zhang. Can you tell me first so I can ponder this matter?" (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 807 =====
