Chapter 203

Guyang Mountain, in the main hall of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Guangling Zhenren, who looked a bit nervous, said softly to Patriarch Yao Qianshu standing on the side: "Patriarch Senior Brother, Chen Junior Nephew's Core Formation this time is a matter related to the future luck of the sect. Senior Uncle Li happens to be away at this time. This really makes us carry a heavy burden of ten thousand catties all of a sudden."

"Junior Brother Zhang, I have told you many times, why do you still not believe it? Senior Uncle Li didn't tell anyone when he went out this time. Even I only knew that he was not on the mountain after I went to his place half a month ago. If you ask me, if I knew, I would still be waiting here." Yao Qianshu shook his head and replied with some impatience.

Guangling Zhenren smiled awkwardly and then said: "Senior Brother, don't misunderstand. I also feel that you are closer to Senior Uncle Li, so I came to ask you."

"Senior Uncle Li is most taboo about others inquiring about his whereabouts. Don't you know? Why are you so unremembering? Although the protective array has been activated now, we should not take it too lightly. How is the situation with Xuanfeng now?" After Yao Qianshu finished speaking, he took a long breath and asked Guangling Zhenren back.

"Senior Brother, rest assured, everything looks quite good. Core Formation should be in these two days. Now it is Junior Sister Bai who is protecting him. With you and Junior Sister Bai here, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator comes to commit a crime, we can resist one or two by relying on the protective array until Senior Uncle Li comes to help. I am also afraid that Senior Uncle will go on a long journey, so I ran to ask."

Yao Qianshu shook his head and said: "If Senior Uncle goes on a long journey for a long time, he will definitely inform me, the patriarch, in advance. Since he didn't say it, he must still be in Wei Guo. We don't need to worry about this point."

"The protective array of Guyang Mountain has not been dared to be broken into for thousands of years. Except for Senior Uncle Li, we are not decorations on the mountain. If any petty people dare to commit a crime, they will definitely not return."

This phenomenon lasted for three days before slowly dissipating between heaven and earth. Then, a seven-colored rainbow appeared in the sky near Guyang Mountain, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

Yangshan Market is still a distance from Guyang Mountain. Although one can see some celestial phenomena from such a distance, Song Qingming is not sure whether this is caused by someone forming a core. After all, high-level cultivators practicing techniques and forging magic treasures can trigger some celestial phenomena.

The day after the phenomenon disappeared, rumors gradually spread in Yangshan Market that a Xiaoyao Sect cultivator had successfully broken through to the Golden Core realm yesterday. Seeing that this celestial phenomenon lasted for so long, Song Qingming estimated in his heart that if this was really the celestial phenomenon triggered by someone forming a core, then it should be eight or nine out of ten that it was successful.

In an inconspicuous bamboo forest thousands of miles away from Guyang Mountain, a young Daoist wearing white clothes and a middle-aged man wearing golden armor were standing opposite each other, staring at each other tightly. Although there was full of murderous intent in their eyes, the two had no movement at all.

"Daoist Jinyu, you are openly entering the border of Wei Guo this time. Don't you intend to abide by the contract between our two sides?" After staring at each other for I don't know how long, the young Daoist was the first to speak.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man suddenly laughed: "Junior, what a big tone. It was just an agreement with your master back then. Now that he is gone, do you think I need your nod to come out for a walk?"

"If you want to walk around, I naturally have no opinion. It's just that this is the territory of my Wei Guo. Please change to another place."

"Let me change to another place? Do you think you have this qualification, Li Mufeng?" After speaking, the middle-aged man's momentum suddenly changed and he took a step forward, emitting a terrifying pressure.

"Whether I have the qualification or not, naturally I have to try to know. If you have this interest today, I will definitely accompany you."

As soon as Li Mufeng finished speaking, a burst of invisible collisions erupted in the air around the two, followed by a terrifying mana fluctuation spreading around the two.

Wherever this mana swept, it produced a strong vibration. The bamboo forest for more than ten miles around instantly turned into ashes, and the surrounding dozens of miles also became a sea of fire.

——

In Yangshan Market, Song Qingming, the uncle and nephew who had been living in the inn, finally got permission to enter Guyang Mountain a few days later as Guyang Mountain slowly lifted the blockade.

In the market these days, Song Qingming heard a lot of news about the Xiaoyao Sect cultivator forming a core this time. What surprised him was that the Xiaoyao Sect cultivator who successfully formed a core this time was actually Chen Xuanfeng, whom he had seen a few times and even joined forces to fight against the enemy.

Unexpectedly, after eliminating Yang Wuchi last time, Chen Xuanfeng untied a knot that had troubled him for many years in his heart. Not long after returning, he chose to go into seclusion. After a few years of seclusion and breakthrough, he finally entered the Golden Core realm in one fell swoop.

Under the guidance of a Qi Refining disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, the two of them shuttled through Guyang Mountain for three hours and came to a green mountain full of immortal aura.

As soon as they landed on the mountain, a young Xiaoyao Sect cultivator greeted them. Seeing Song Qingming, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Junior Liu Yunhe of Canglan Peak, greets Senior."

Song Qingming nodded and said very politely: "The two of us are here to find Daoist Huang Shengyang. Please ask the little friend to report first, just say that Song Qingming from Qinghe County is here to visit." After speaking, Song Qingming handed the recommendation letter written by Huang Shengyue to Liu Yunhe.

Liu Yunhe took the letter, hurriedly sent it to Huang Shengyang's cave dwelling, and soon ran back, inviting Song Qingming and the two to his master's cave dwelling.

Half an hour later, Song Qingming and the two returned here again.

"Xinyu, just send it here. Follow your master and practice hard in the future, don't be lazy. I will come to see you when I have time."

"Seventh Uncle, don't worry, I know."

Song Qingming nodded with satisfaction, and while no one was looking, he took out dozens of spirit stones and stuffed them into Song Xinyu's hands.

"It's not like at home when you are outside. Everything depends on yourself. If you encounter an emergency and don't have time to send a message home, you can also go directly to your Third Uncle. I have already sent a message to him before coming. We are all of the same bloodline, and you should help each other here in the future."

Leaving Song Xinyu here, Song Qingming left Canglan Peak alone.

Huang Shengyang is not like the other Huang family cultivators Song Qingming has seen. He is fat and big-eared. After seeing Song Qingming, an old fellow from Qinghe County, he was also very enthusiastic and promised to accept Song Xinyu as his disciple on the spot.

Huang Shengyang's cultivation has reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, and he has already accepted many disciples under his sect. Song Xinyu joining his sect can be considered to have found a backer for the time being, and his life in the Xiaoyao Sect should not be too difficult in the future.

After leaving Canglan Peak, Song Qingming came directly to Xu Ziyan's cave dwelling.

He had also come to visit her twice on the way when he came to Yangshan Market in the past few years, but all of them were closed doors. Not only her, but even the few disciples under her sect seemed to be absent, and there was no echo of the sound-transmission talisman he sent outside.

On Xu Ziyan's spiritual mountain, looking at the cave dwelling restriction that was still motionless, Song Qingming could only shake his head helplessly and leave here.
