Chapter 171: Meeting

After being away for a month, Song Qingming, who returned to his cave dwelling, finally relaxed for the time being.

After taking a green spirit pill from the storage bag, Song Qingming immediately operated the Yuxuan Scripture technique in his body to practice.

He had been running around outside for a whole month and didn't have much time to practice properly. Song Qingming, who returned to Qinghe Market, finally had some time to practice properly.

"In the future, I still have to go to the big market to buy pills. The effect of this True Origin Pill is much better than those pills I bought in Jiangling Market before."

After practicing for three hours in a row, Song Qingming finally refined most of the pills in his body. This also caused the magic power in his body to rise by a small section, saving him at least a year of hard cultivation.

It was just a pity that although the effect of the True Origin Pill was good, a Foundation Establishment cultivator could only take one a year, and they couldn't take other pills to improve their cultivation during that time. If it weren't for this reason, if Song Qingming took one more, he should be able to break through to the second level of Foundation Establishment immediately.

In the cultivation world, almost all pills that improved cultivation had more pill poison than other types of pills. The better the effect of the pill, the more time the cultivator would need to resolve the pill poison after taking it, and the interval between taking them would also become longer.

It was precisely because of this reason that no matter how many pills you had on your body, the cultivation speed you could improve was limited. Even if you had a Nascent Soul ancestor to take care of you and didn't lack pills for cultivation, it was impossible for an ordinary five-spiritual-root cultivator to cultivate faster than a heaven-spiritual-root cultivator from an ordinary background.

After finishing his practice, Song Qingming got up and was about to go out for a walk, only to find that someone had left him a voice transmission at the entrance of the cave dwelling. It should be that he was too focused when he was practicing just now, so he didn't notice it.

A few days later, in the Xianfeng Tower of Qinghe Market.

Li Hongyu, in green clothes, carefully carried a very delicious spirit fish and walked into a private room.

"Senior Song, this dish was made by my own hands. Please taste it and see how this junior’s craftsmanship is."

Song Qingming looked at the dish that had just been served and glanced at Li Hongyu somewhat unexpectedly. He didn't expect that this girl had only been in the Xianfeng Tower for more than a month and could already cook. And the dish she served looked quite good.

Gently picking up a piece of fish meat and putting it into his mouth, Song Qingming closed his eyes and tasted it carefully.

Then, under Li Hongyu’s expectant gaze, Song Qingming opened his eyes with a smile and said, "Fresh, smooth, and tender, juicy and delicious. Smelling its fragrance makes one feel relaxed and happy; tasting its meat makes one have an endless aftertaste. Your boss’s craftsmanship has improved again."

"Senior Song, I helped the boss match some ingredients anyway. You didn't taste it at all." Seeing that Song Qingming knew at once that this dish was made by Huang Siyuan herself, Li Hongyu could only lower her head and mutter somewhat awkwardly.

Song Qingming nodded and smiled, "Don't be discouraged. Spirit cooking is also a cultivation skill, after all. How can it be mastered in a day or two? Even your boss studied hard in Qinghe Market for ten years to have today’s achievement. As long as you can calm down, sooner or later, I will say the same evaluation I just made to you."

"Thank you, Senior, for your guidance. Hongyu will definitely work hard in the future to make a spirit food that can catch your eye as soon as possible to repay your kindness of knowing and meeting."

On the day he taught Gao Yufu a lesson, Song Qingming was also somewhat worried about the safety of Li Quan and Li Hongyu, so he brought them to the Xianfeng Tower to avoid the limelight for the time being.

Unexpectedly, the grandfather and granddaughter got used to staying in the Xianfeng Tower very quickly. Li Quan’s honest personality soon won Huang Siyuan’s trust, and he had almost become the manager of the Xianfeng Tower. He was someone who had been mixing in the cultivation world for many years, and he was very handy in dealing with people.

Li Hongyu, this little girl, although her cultivation base was not high, her ambition was still very great. Seeing that Huang Siyuan could earn quite a few spirit stones every day by relying on her spirit cooking skills, she soon pestered Huang Siyuan to teach her the way of spirit cooking, and now she could be considered a little apprentice of hers.

After Song Qingming had eaten and drunk his fill, Huang Siyuan finally appeared before his eyes.

"The ancestor has already arrived at the Huixian Tower. Let’s go over now!"

Song Qingming nodded, followed Huang Siyuan out of the Xianfeng Tower, and came to the Huixian Tower of the Huang family.

A few days ago, just after Song Qingming returned, he suddenly received news from Huang Siyuan that the Huang family Patriarch, Huang Shengxin, had something to discuss with him.

It just so happened that he also had some things he wanted to ask the Huang family for help with. After the two sides agreed on a time, they soon met in the secret chamber of the Huixian Tower.

Just after walking in, Song Qingming discovered that the person who came from the Huang family was not the Patriarch Huang Shengxin, but Huang Shengyue, who had been relatively active in Qinghe County in recent years.

The three Foundation Establishment ancestors of the Huang family, Patriarch Huang Shengxin, were dedicated to seeking the Dao and were bitter cultivators with a ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivation base. In recent years, he had put all his energy into Golden Core and often went into seclusion, rarely showing his face.

One of the two Supreme Elders, Huang Chengliang, was over two hundred years old and rarely walked around. He basically sat in the spirit vein of the family. All external matters of the Huang family basically fell on the other Supreme Elder, Huang Shengyue.

"Fellow Daoist Song, I heard that this time you cooperated with the Xiaoyao Sect cultivators to behead Yang Wuqi, that demon. I really have to congratulate Fellow Daoist Song for removing a great scourge for Qinghe County and the entire Wei Kingdom and doing a meritorious deed."

The matter of beheading Yang Wuqi, that demon, had spread to more than half of the Wei Kingdom in the past month. It was not surprising that Huang Shengyue knew about this matter now.

"Fellow Daoist Huang is over-praising. My cultivation base is low, how could I be a match for that demon? The one who beheaded Yang Wuqi this time was actually Fellow Daoist Chen of the Xiaoyao Sect. Fellow Daoist Lu and I went there, but we just helped to crusade against the low-grade demonic cultivators below."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Song Qingming directly took out the Soul-Gathering Banner seized from the demonic cultivators this time and said, "I seized two second-grade demonic tools from the demonic cultivators this time. Fellow Daoist Huang, please help me see if you can extract the materials from inside."

Huang Shengyue was the only second-grade refiner in Qinghe County. Since she came in person this time, it was just right to show her the Soul-Gathering Banner face-to-face to see if she could refine some materials from these two demonic tools, which would also save him from going to the Huang family to find her.

"The foundation of this magic tool is still quite good. The two together should be able to directly refine a second-grade magic tool. However, refining demonic tools, I am also making a move for the first time, and I don't know if it will fail. If you want to know the result, I ask Fellow Daoist Song to wait patiently for a period of time." After Huang Shengyue finished speaking, she picked up the Soul-Gathering Banner and looked at it carefully again.

"This is no problem. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, after the magic tool is refined, how many spirit stones are needed, Fellow Daoist Huang, just speak up, and I will definitely offer it to you then!"

Hearing Huang Shengyue say that she could refine the two Soul-Gathering Banners into a second-grade magic tool, Song Qingming was also somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that this meeting would really give him an unexpected surprise. These two demonic tools were of no use in his hands. Being able to exchange for a new magic tool was really a very lucky thing for him.

Only one chapter today.
