Chapter 814: Trading Assembly Ends, Returning to Donghuangxianzhou

Most of these Golden Core cultivators who took the stage needed to exchange for rare materials that were rarely seen in the market, or high-grade spiritual elixirs that cultivators were reluctant to part with.

Song Qingming had none of these things, and the several Tier 3 spiritual talismans he could take out for exchange were not the spiritual items the cultivators on stage needed.

Although the several people from the "Xiaoyao Sect" who were traveling together took the stage one after another, except for Chu Fengping, who had many high-grade spiritual elixirs, the others didn't gain much, just going through the motions to try their luck.

Fortunately, everyone had already gained something in the previous auction, so even if there was no gain in the final free exchange, everyone didn't feel too disappointed in their hearts.

After the "Tianxin City" trading assembly ended, most of the people who came here stepped onto the high-grade treasure ship returning to "Donghuangxianzhou" with joy.

Before leaving "Tianxin City," Song Qingming wanted to find an opportunity to bid farewell to Liu Yang and the others, and had a tea and conversation with several fellow disciples of the "Grand Void Gate."

However, it was a pity that Liu Yang and the others left "Tianxin City" early because of something before the trading assembly ended, making Song Qingming, who went to visit, return empty-handed.

After the treasure ship left "Tianxin Island," the journey in the "Lei Yuanhai" cultivation world was quite peaceful. After replenishing the necessary supplies on "Chongyuan Island," the treasure ship quickly entered the boundless outer sea.

Just like when they came, after the treasure ship entered the extremely dangerous outer sea, it was quickly besieged by groups of demon beasts, which once again made everyone, who had been at ease for a long time, feel nervous again.

However, fortunately, there were not only dozens of Golden Core stage experts on the treasure ship to help guard it, but also three Nascent Soul ancestors including Bai Yuxian sitting in command.

Although there were many demon beasts besieging the treasure ship, their surging momentum did not pose much of a threat to the treasure ship. Under the deterrence of Nascent Soul cultivators like Bai Yuxian, they quickly scattered and dived back into the deep sea.

The many demon beast corpses left on the sea surface after each battle instead allowed the cultivators on the ship to harvest quite a few low-grade demon beast materials.

During the return journey this time, although everyone was lucky and did not encounter those powerful Nascent Soul demon emperors in the sea.

However, after traveling hundreds of thousands of miles, when the treasure ship was already approaching "Donghuangxianzhou," a black hurricane suddenly blew up on the surging sea.

This black hurricane covered the sky and blocked the sun, and even the demon beasts and fish in the sea were rolled to a height of thousands of feet. Even from a distance of tens of miles, it made everyone on the treasure ship feel a sense of fear.

Even a high-grade treasure ship above Tier 4 appeared extremely small in front of this black hurricane. Once rolled into it, it would probably be torn into a pile of fragments in no time.

Seeing this black hurricane appear nearby, the cultivators in charge of controlling the treasure ship were immediately in a panic, hurriedly urging everyone on the ship to help use their magic power to drive the treasure ship to accelerate and escape far away from the black hurricane.

At that time, the treasure ship was still deep in the outer sea, and within tens of thousands of miles nearby, let alone human habitation, there was not even a place to land.

If the treasure ship were destroyed by this "Heavenly Wind" in the sea here, except for a few Nascent Soul cultivators like Bai Yuxian who could escape, other Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators on the ship would probably be hard to escape this disaster.

Even if they didn't die in this fierce "Heavenly Wind," there was nowhere to hide or land in the vast outer sea, and eventually, their magic power would be exhausted, and they would inevitably be buried in the mouths of demon beasts in the sea.

Fortunately, because the "Heavenly Wind" was discovered early, under the efforts of everyone who spared no magic power to drive it, the treasure ship quickly escaped the range of the black hurricane and was not rolled into it.

After successfully escaping the range of the "Heavenly Wind," seeing the sun in the sky finally emerge from the clouds, everyone on the treasure ship who had luckily escaped death finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After experiencing this danger, the subsequent journey of the treasure ship was a bit more stable, and finally, after a few months, it successfully docked at the port on "Wufeng Island."

After jumping off the "treasure ship," Song Qingming and the others finally let go of their hearts completely, and everyone's face had a bit more relaxation.

From the time everyone last stepped on the treasure ship and set off from here to the "Lei Yuanhai" cultivation world, to returning to "Wufeng Island" again, nearly a year and a half had passed.

During this period, except for the few months participating in the "Tianxin City" trading assembly, everyone spent most of their time on the treasure ship, so they were also on tenterhooks and nervous for more than a year.

At this moment, finally far away from the dangers of the outer sea and back in the territory of "Donghuangxianzhou," everyone including Song Qingming was naturally very happy.

Taking advantage of the gap while the sect members were still moving spiritual items, Song Qingming also took Song Yuanhao and the others to "Wufeng Island" to enjoy a few meals of delicious spiritual food.

It wasn't until a few days later that they turned to take the sect's large flying boat and set off again from the East Sea cultivation world to return to the Wei Kingdom.

Just as the flying boat passed through the protective array of "Guyang Mountain," Xu Ziyan, who had received the news in advance, immediately led a group of sect disciples to wait outside the "Merit Pavilion."

After the flying boat landed, Xu Ziyan directed the sect disciples to move the spiritual items brought on the flying boat while walking toward Song Qingming's position.

"Senior Brother Song, I wonder if it is convenient to talk alone now?"

Seeing Xu Ziyan looking for him so anxiously, Song Qingming naturally knew her intention very clearly, hurriedly waved his hand to dismiss Song Yuanhao and the others beside him, and then followed Xu Ziyan to a hidden place nearby.

After Xu Ziyan waved her hand to set up a barrier that isolated the spiritual sense exploration of cultivators, the spiritual light in Song Qingming's hand moved, and a purple exquisite storage bag suddenly appeared, which he handed to Xu Ziyan.

"Junior Sister Xu, the luck was quite good when participating in the trading assembly this time. The spiritual items inside are all purchased for you from the auction."

Hearing this, a hint of joy immediately appeared on Xu Ziyan's face, and then she hurriedly opened the storage bag in front of her and took out the several spiritual elixirs and spiritual fruits that Song Qingming had bid for her from the auction.

These were all spiritual items that Xu Ziyan specifically entrusted him to help purchase before Song Qingming went to "Lei Yuanhai."

Xu Ziyan had been in the Golden Core stage for nearly a hundred years, and her cultivation was still stuck at the fifth level of the Golden Core stage and could not make further progress. Her cultivation speed was not fast among Golden Core cultivators, and her cultivation had also fallen behind Song Qingyu, who had formed a Golden Core later than her.

Now seeing the several spiritual items brought back by Song Qingming, she finally had the confidence to break through her current cultivation bottleneck, and her mood was also very happy at this moment.

"The few thousand spirit stones you gave me are still left, but they were all temporarily spent by me on other spiritual items. Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to send them to you immediately after I go back."

"Hehe! Senior Brother Song is joking."

"Senior Brother worked hard for my little matter. These spirit stones should have been used by me as a reward. I hope Senior Brother will not be polite with me anymore."

Hearing Song Qingming wanting to return the extra spirit stones to her, Xu Ziyan hurriedly waved her hand to refuse Song Qingming's kindness.

Entrusting Song Qingming to help go to the "Lei Yuanhai" cultivation world to buy spiritual items this time, Xu Ziyan originally didn't hold much hope, as long as Song Qingming could help her buy one or two elixirs to assist in cultivation.

The several spiritual items in the storage bag brought back by Song Qingming were already beyond her expectations, so she was naturally embarrassed to ask Song Qingming for the remaining spirit stones.

However, although Xu Ziyan no longer wanted the few thousand spirit stones back, Song Qingming was not someone who liked to take this little advantage. Even if the other party insisted on not wanting them, he still arranged for someone to send the spirit stones to Xu Ziyan half a month later.

After Xu Ziyan received the several spiritual items brought back by Song Qingming, it was also not beyond Song Qingming's expectations that she successfully broke through her own cultivation to the sixth level of the Golden Core stage more than half a year later with the help of the elixirs in her hand.

After handing the spiritual items in his hand to Xu Ziyan, Song Qingming did not stay at "Guyang Mountain" for long and soon took Song Yuanhao and the others to set off and return to "Qinghe County."

This time going to "Lei Yuanhai" to participate in the trading assembly, Song Qingming and the others had been away from home for nearly two years.

Just as the flying boat entered "Qinghe County," a hint of excitement couldn't help but appear in the eyes of Song Yuanqian and the others standing above, and their hearts were already impatient to fly back to "Funiu Mountain."

Just when the "Phantom Boat" under Song Qingming's feet entered Qinghe County, not far below the flying boat, a sword light suddenly passed through, instantly attracting the attention of Song Qingming and the others on the flying boat.

"Eh! Isn't this Xuanqing? Where is he going in such a hurry?"

Seeing that the figure on the flying sword below was somewhat familiar, Song Yuanqian, standing on the flying boat, quickly recognized him, and there was a hint of doubt in her tone.

Song Xuanqing was a Foundation Establishment elder of the "Xuan" generation of the Song family and was also the highest-level alchemist in the family besides Huang Siyuan.

Seeing him rushing on his way as if chasing someone, Song Qingming, who was also somewhat confused, immediately turned the direction of the "Phantom Boat" under his feet and flew to the front to intercept Song Xuanqing, who was on his way.

Song Xuanqing, who was originally somewhat anxious in his heart, was surprised when he saw Song Qingming and the others suddenly intercepting him in front of him. After confirming that he hadn't seen the wrong person, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and saluted with a surprised face.

"Xuanqing pays respects to the Patriarch, and greets Aunt and Clan Uncle!"

After Song Qingming waved his hand slightly, he immediately asked: "No need for courtesy, Xuanqing, why are you here? Did you encounter anything?"

When he left the family two years ago, Song Qingming remembered that Song Xuanqing seemed to be arranged to guard the "Chiyan Workshop," a market in the northeast of the family. Seeing him appear in the south of "Qinghe County" in such a hurry, he was also somewhat confused.

Hearing his own ancestor's inquiry, Song Xuanqing hurriedly replied in front of everyone: "Reporting to the ancestor, a group of bandit cultivators came to the side of Chiyan Workshop some time ago to make trouble, robbing many cultivators of their spiritual items, and even caused several deaths.

I let the workshop law enforcement team investigate this matter, and only in the last few days did I have a clue, finding the place where these bandit cultivators were hiding.

Just now I suddenly received a letter from the law enforcement team, and they have already fought with them in front, so I was in a hurry to go to help, not wanting to meet the Patriarch here."

"Oh! What kind of bandit cultivators, they are really bold, actually daring to hide in Qinghe County.

Is it just you who came from the family? Why didn't Yuanfang send some people to help?"

After hearing Song Xuanqing's reply, Song Qingming showed a bit of surprise on his face. You know, over the years, because of the resounding name of the Song family as a Golden Core immortal family dominating the northeast of the Wei Kingdom, "Qinghe County" had long been much more peaceful than before.

Let alone evil people like bandit cultivators and demonic cultivators, even those low-grade demon beasts hiding in the mountains and forests were now rarely seen in "Qinghe County."

Song Qingming had basically been practicing on the mountain in recent years and rarely went down the mountain to walk around.

Hearing what Song Xuanqing said, he really didn't expect that there would still be bandit cultivators hiding in "Qinghe County" under the feet of the Song family, causing chaos everywhere.

"Reporting to the ancestor, these bandit cultivators are all Qi Refining stage cultivators, and there are no Foundation Establishment people. I and the people from the law enforcement team are enough to deal with them, so I didn't inform the Great Elder of this matter."

Song Qingming nodded slightly upon hearing this: "No matter what, you still have to be careful in your actions. In case the intelligence is wrong and you fall into the other party's trick, it will be too late to regret it.

Yuanhao, you go with Xuanqing!

In case there is any situation that is not right, you must ask the family for help in advance, and do not act impulsively."

"They have already started fighting over there now. I estimate that the battle will be over by the time I rush over. It's just that I'm a bit worried in my heart, so I'm rushing to see the situation.

Such a small matter, how dare I trouble Clan Uncle."

Seeing that Song Qingming was not at ease with him and wanted Song Yuanhao to go help, Song Xuanqing hurriedly waved his hand, somewhat embarrassed to let other family elders help him deal with this little matter in his hand.

Hearing what Song Xuanqing said, Song Qingming did not agree and continued to say to the two softly: "Although it is a small matter, being careful will never be a big mistake. You should go together! Pay attention to finding out the origin of these bandit cultivators, and don't leave any fish that slipped through the net.

Qinghe County is under our noses after all, so we must not tolerate these bandit cultivators causing chaos here, which will damage the family's prestige in the future."

"Patriarch, don't worry, we will definitely not fail the family's trust!"

After seeing Song Yuanhao and Song Xuanqing leave, Song Qingming immediately took Song Yuanqian and the others to turn the flying boat and continue to move north. Before long, they quickly arrived outside "Funiu Mountain."

Not long after the "Phantom Boat" passed through the family's protective array, after a flash of spiritual light on the top of the mountain ahead, a yellow-clad figure quickly appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing Huang Siyuan, who came to greet them, Song Yuanqian and Song Linrui, who were standing beside Song Qingming, hurriedly stepped forward to salute her, then turned and left the flying boat, leaving their position to Song Qingming and the two.

"I only heard news from the sect last month. I didn't expect you to come back so soon. I wonder if my husband has any good gains from this trip? Tell me quickly?"

Being away for two years, Huang Siyuan was also very worried about Song Qingming.

Now seeing them return safely, Huang Siyuan was also impatient in her heart to know what spiritual items Song Qingming had obtained from this "Lei Yuanhai" trip.

Hearing Huang Siyuan's inquiry, Song Qingming hurriedly nodded with a smile: "There are naturally gains, but don't be too anxious. Let's go back and talk to you slowly!"

After the two landed from mid-air, they quickly arrived at the "Huixian Pavilion" located on the top of the mountain.

By the time Huang Siyuan brought a cup of freshly brewed spiritual tea to Song Qingming, a dark red three-legged small tripod also immediately appeared in front of Huang Siyuan along with a burst of spiritual light.

"This is, a Tier 3 superior-grade alchemy furnace!"

Seeing the "Xuanhuo Golden Dragon Tripod" that appeared in front of her, Huang Siyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and a hint of joy followed on her face.

After picking up the "Xuanhuo Golden Dragon Tripod" and observing it carefully for a while, Huang Siyuan asked Song Qingming with an excited face: "My husband is really lucky this time, actually finding such a high-grade alchemy furnace!

I just don't know how many spirit stones this alchemy furnace cost?

I ask my husband to tell me the truth, and don't deliberately fool me for the sake of spirit stones, so that I can have a count of the value of this item."

Seeing Huang Siyuan asking about the price of the "Xuanhuo Golden Dragon Tripod" seriously, Song Qingming, who didn't want to tell her, thought for a while and still didn't choose to hide it from her.

Before long, Song Qingming truthfully told Huang Siyuan, who was beside him, about the situation of auctioning this tripod at that time.

"37,000 spirit stones, the price of this Tier 3 superior-grade alchemy furnace is not much different from what I thought in my heart. However, I don't have that many spirit stones on me now, so I can only owe my husband first.

But don't worry, when I successfully advance to a Tier 3 superior-grade alchemist in the future, I can receive more high-grade alchemy tasks in the alliance.

By then, I will be able to earn more spirit stones, and I definitely won't let my husband wait too long."

Since joining the "Tiandan Alliance" and becoming a guest elder, Huang Siyuan not only made rapid progress in her alchemy skills, but she also came into contact with many high-grade alchemists in the alliance.

Although she was still an outer sect elder, Huang Siyuan had already made many familiar high-grade alchemists in the "Tiandan Alliance" and could transfer some alchemy tasks from them.

The rewards obtained from such alchemy tasks transferred privately from acquaintances would also be much more than what the "Tiandan Alliance" gave.

As long as she could improve some of her alchemy skills, Huang Siyuan had full confidence in her heart to earn more spirit stones, and by then, these tens of thousands of spirit stones would naturally count for nothing to her.

However, Song Qingming had never cared about these spirit stones in his heart.

After all, he and Huang Siyuan were Taoist companions who had supported each other for many years. In his heart, Huang Siyuan was already his family, so how could he calculate these little accounts with her.

Hearing Huang Siyuan's words, Song Qingming just shook his head slightly and picked up the spiritual tea on the table to taste it carefully.

After putting away the "Xuanhuo Golden Dragon Tripod" in his hand, Huang Siyuan stood up and added another cup of spiritual tea to the cup that had just been emptied in front of Song Qingming, then continued to ask: "I wonder besides this magic treasure, what else did my husband gain on this trip? Did you find any spiritual items to assist in Nascent Soul formation?"

Going to the "Lei Yuanhai" cultivation world to participate in the trading assembly this time, the thing Song Qingming wanted to get most was naturally the spiritual item to assist in Nascent Soul formation.

It was just that before this, Song Qingming had not participated in the "Tianxin City" trading assembly himself and had only heard some rumors that there might be spiritual items for Nascent Soul formation, but had not confirmed this matter.

Therefore, Huang Siyuan naturally didn't know whether Song Qingming could really find the Nascent Soul formation spiritual item he wanted most on this trip.

Seeing Huang Siyuan ask about this, Song Qingming still didn't choose to hide it from her and told her about participating in the "Tianxin City" auction and finally bidding for an "Infant-Nurturing Pill."

After hearing about Song Qingming spending over 200,000 spirit stones to bid for the "Infant-Nurturing Pill," Huang Siyuan also showed a shocked expression, not beyond Song Qingming's expectations.

However, while Huang Siyuan was shocked, she was also extremely happy in her heart that Song Qingming had bought the "Infant-Nurturing Pill" as he wished.

After all, spiritual items of the "Infant-Nurturing Pill" level were too rare in the Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world. Even if you had spirit stones, it was not something that could be exchanged in ordinary places.

In contrast, although over 200,000 spirit stones were not a small amount for the Song family, as long as there was time, they would always have a way to save them up.

"Isn't it just spending more spirit stones? My husband doesn't need to feel too distressed. The family now has so many industries, plus all of us working together to earn spirit stones, the owed spirit stones will be supplemented in no time."

Seeing Song Qingming say that he had borrowed a lot of spirit stones from others for this, Huang Siyuan hurriedly comforted him with a smile.

The Song family was developing better and better, and the family industries were becoming more and more numerous, accumulating quite a few spirit stones every year.

Plus, if Huang Siyuan could advance to a Tier 3 superior-grade alchemist in the future, the speed of earning spirit stones could be accelerated a lot.

Song Qingming only borrowed a few tens of thousands of spirit stones from Liu Yang, which for the current Song family, would take at most a few years to pay back, so it wasn't a big deal.

For the current Song family, whether their patriarch Song Qingming could have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul realm was clearly the most important top priority.

"Now my husband's Nascent Soul formation matter is even more important. Regardless of whether the sect will have any guesses about the Infant-Nurturing Pill, we must be cautious and keep it secret, and must not let outsiders know."

After learning that Song Qingming had bid for the "Infant-Nurturing Pill," Huang Siyuan was also a bit worried in her heart that the sect would guess about this, and couldn't help but remind Song Qingming again.

Regarding this, Song Qingming, who had been prepared in his heart, nodded hurriedly to let her relax.

The process of Song Qingming auctioning the "Infant-Nurturing Pill" was overall relatively secret. Except for taking the initiative to tell Liu Yang, he didn't show any abnormal color in front of others.

The confidentiality work that could be done at that time, Song Qingming basically did it. If it was still guessed by the sect in the future, it could only be said that his luck was a bit bad.

After finishing talking about the "Infant-Nurturing Pill" with Huang Siyuan, Song Qingming saw that her face was still a bit worried, so he changed the subject and asked: "Has Qingyu already gone to Cangyuan Mountain? How is Changze's seclusion?"

When Song Qingming left the family back then, it was just when Song Changze had practiced the "Hidden Origin Technique" to perfection and was about to go into seclusion to break through to the Golden Core realm.

Now nearly two years had passed, and according to Song Qingming's inner speculation, Song Changze should already be in seclusion. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 815 =====
