Chapter 187: Old Friend

After burning the corpses of these few people with a big fire, the man in the bamboo hat put away the storage bags of these three people and returned to the front of the few loose cultivators.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar who led the group saw the bamboo hat man helping so righteously, and hurriedly took the few people beside him to step forward and bow: "In the next Shi Chun, thank you Senior for saving us."

"Brother Shi, haven't seen you for many years, are you and the fellow Daoists okay?" As the voice fell, the man took off the bamboo hat he was wearing directly, revealing a somewhat delicate face.

Shi Chun looked at this somewhat familiar appearance in his mind and asked excitedly: "Are you... Fellow Daoist Song?"

The few fellow loose cultivators on the side, seeing that Shi Chun actually knew the Foundation Establishment senior in front of him, also showed surprised eyes.

Song Qingming nodded and smiled: "It's really fate. It's been more than ten years, and I didn't expect to meet Brother Shi here again."

"Fellow Daoist Song... oh no, I should call you Senior Song. Thank you very much for your help this time, otherwise, the prey we finally killed would have been cheap for these Fire Wolf Gang scumbags."

Shi Chun's words clearly carried a trace of envy. Compared with Song Qingming, who had become a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator at this time, more than ten years passed, and Shi Chun's cultivation had only improved by one level.

He also really found it hard to imagine that Song Qingming, whose cultivation was not particularly outstanding in the past, had actually successfully established Foundation Establishment so quickly.

Back then, the two could still drink and have fun, but today his status and Song Qingming's were already worlds apart, so he couldn't help but be careful in his words.

"We have known each other for many years, and Brother Shi once helped me, so don't care too much about these empty rituals. This place is not a place to stay for long. A few fellow Daoists should follow me to leave here quickly, change to a place, and talk again!"

"Then listen to Fellow Daoist!" Shi Chun nodded and didn't continue to be polite, hurriedly ordered the others to go and collect the materials of the green ox beast on the ground.

Fearing that he had just killed these few Fire Wolf Gang members would bring revenge on Shi Chun and the others, Song Qingming simply gave up flying alone on the sword, disguised himself as a Qi Refining cultivator, and spent another day sending Shi Chun and the others back to Guiyun Market.

Since leaving here back then, Song Qingming hadn't been to Guiyun Market for many years. Unexpectedly, the tragic demon beast chaos back then didn't leave any impact on this market. The crowds coming and going on the street were very dense. Compared with back then, the current Guiyun Market seemed to be even more prosperous.

After Shi Chun and the others went to the square in the market to hand over this mission, Song Qingming took the initiative to invite Shi Chun to have two drinks at the Tianfeng Building back then. Unexpectedly, after arriving at the door, he found that although it was still a restaurant, it was no longer called Tianfeng Building.

After going in and asking, I found out that Tianfeng Building had already changed its owner, and the spirit chef Hu Daozhen he knew back then had already left Guiyun Market.

"Ten years passed in a flash. Unexpectedly, things have changed. In this Guiyun Market, the only one who still knows me is probably you, Brother Shi." Song Qingming picked up a cup of spirit wine and drank it in one gulp.

Shi Chun also felt a bit emotional: "Since Brother Zhang and Junior Sister went to Zheng Kingdom, I am now like a lonely person. Now I have completely offended these people in the Fire Wolf Gang, and I don't want to stay in Guiyun Market anymore. If Brother Song comes again next time, maybe I won't be here."

On the way back, Shi Chun had already told Song Qingming about what had happened to him over the years, which naturally included Zhang Tieshan and Qin Yuniang going to Zheng Kingdom.

Zhang Tieshan was originally a Zheng Kingdom cultivator. After this demon beast chaos, the impact on Zheng Kingdom was great, and many local forces were reshuffled. Many Zheng Kingdom cultivators who had been fleeing outside for years had returned to their homeland in the past few years, including Zhang Tieshan, who had been wandering outside for many years and missed his home.

And Shi Chun's Junior Sister Qin Yuniang had already developed feelings for Zhang Tieshan a few years ago. With Shi Chun as a witness, they had already become Daoist companions. This time, she simply followed Zhang Tieshan to Zheng Kingdom.

In ten years, Shi Chun's cultivation had only improved to the seventh level of Qi Refining, which shows that it is indeed not easy for these loose cultivators without a foundation to cultivate. It is no wonder that Zhang Tieshan, a former family cultivator, was determined to return to Zheng Kingdom.

"Brother Shi, if you really don't want to stay in Guiyun Market and don't know where to go, you can also consider going to Funiu Mountain in Qinghe County to find me. Although my Song family is not a powerful cultivation family, we can still speak in Qinghe County. Helping you find a place to stay is not a difficult thing."

Hearing Song Qingming's words, Shi Chun was stunned for a while before saying: "Thank you, Brother Song, for your concern. I haven't decided on this matter in my heart yet. If I really decide to leave Guiyun Market, I will definitely consider your proposal carefully."

The two hadn't seen each other for many years, so naturally, they had endless topics to talk about. After eating and drinking, Song Qingming reluctantly bid farewell to Shi Chun and left Guiyun Market alone.

It's strange to say that he met Shi Chun twice in the Fuyun Mountain Range, both after surviving a disaster. In his heart, he always felt that this guy seemed to be a noble person in his life.

Meeting Shi Chun this time was also a very coincidental thing for Song Qingming. Seeing a friend encounter danger and being able to help, Song Qingming naturally wouldn't refuse.

Plus, for the past few months, he had fallen into the hands of several Demon Kings and was ordered around, living a life of trepidation. The few guys in the Fire Wolf Gang who liked to bully the weak, meeting Song Qingming, who had been holding back for so long, could only be considered their bad luck.

After walking out of Guiyun Market, Song Qingming found a quiet place and turned out the storage bags of those guys in the Fire Wolf Gang.

Now that his cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment stage and he was an array master, breaking the restrictions of these storage bags was naturally a matter of hand. It didn't take long for these storage bags to be opened by him.

"Are they all so poor? I really don't know how these people cultivate."

Looking at the pile of messy low-level spirit objects in front of him, which added up to an estimate that they couldn't even sell for a hundred spirit stones, Song Qingming shook his head in disappointment. He thought at the time that these people who liked to rob and plunder would have some good things on them.

After sighing, he quickly put away these things, and then Song Qingming directly released the flying sword, turned into a cyan light, and disappeared in place.

Having been out for so long without any news sent back, Song Qingming estimated that those people on Funiu Mountain must be anxious.

"Why don't these Qi Refining cultivators have any good things on them..."
