Chapter 243: Active Invitation

The efficiency of the Carefree Sect in doing things was much higher than that of ordinary people. They directly transferred several Tier 2 formation masters from the sect and only took less than two months to upgrade the spiritual vein at the spiritual mine to Tier 2. Next, they set up a powerful Tier 2 protective grand array.

The Wang family had already settled many mortals at the Geng Metal spiritual mine before. Most of these people could be directly used to mine the spiritual mine. With the cooperation of the Wang family and the Song family, thousands more mortals were added a few months later, and the entire Fengtou Mountain spiritual mine soon got on the right track.

The Carefree Sect attached great importance to this spiritual mine and arranged for two Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than a hundred Qi Refining cultivators to station at the mineral vein all year round. Added to the Tier 2 mid-grade mountain-protecting grand array, cultivators below the Golden Core stage basically could not have the ability to break the grand array in a short time. The protection here could be described as stable as Mount Tai.

After handling the affairs of Fengtou Mountain, Song Qingming finally ushered in a relatively peaceful period.

Since his failure to reach Foundation Establishment, Sixth Uncle Song Changfeng had put almost his entire body and mind into managing the family. As the current Clan Head of the Song family, being able to see the family grow stronger step by step could also be considered a very gratifying thing for him.

Ever since Song Qingming reached Foundation Establishment, the Song family's development momentum had been quite good. Now, relying on the industries in Qinghe Marketplace and the shares of the Fengtou Mountain mineral vein, the family had enough to satisfy the daily consumption of all cultivators. Added to the Song family's own original spiritual fields, herb gardens, mineral veins, and the offerings from several Qi Refining families under their sect, there was still a surplus of several hundred spirit stones every year.

With surplus spirit stone resources, naturally, they could cultivate new spiritual veins, increase the survival space for mortals in the family, and cultivate more cultivators. Give the Song family another ten or twenty years of stable development, and their strength would be almost able to catch up to the Lu family of Iron Immortal Mountain.

Time flew by, and another two years passed. On this day, Song Qingming brought a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy and came to the Song family shop in Qinghe Marketplace again.

"Supreme Elder!" Wang Cheng, who was busy, saw Song Qingming who had just walked into the entrance and hurriedly dropped what he was doing and greeted him.

"I'm here to find Second Sister, you go ahead and get busy, don't worry about me!" Song Qingming nodded at him and, bringing the somewhat green boy behind him, walked directly into the shop.

——

"Second Sister, I'll leave Xinli to you. It's not easy for Sixth Uncle to pick someone for you. You have to put in some effort and strive to cultivate another alchemist for the family!"

"Alright! I know what you mean. Look at what you're saying. I'm actually very tired from refining elixirs every day these years. I also want someone in the family to stand up and help me share some of the burden. It's just that the few people Sixth Uncle sent to Qinghe Marketplace before had such poor talent that only Xintong has barely entered the door so far.

Looking at this kid, his brain is still quite bright. Sixth Uncle's selection of people this time is quite reliable. As long as he has the talent for alchemy, I will naturally do my best. You tell him to rest assured!"

Since giving up on Foundation Establishment, Second Sister Song Qingwan had also let go of her own path and put her heart and soul into alchemy and managing the family's industries in Qinghe Marketplace.

In terms of alchemy, apart from Song Qingwan, a high-grade alchemist, no one else in the Song family had been able to hold up the scene. This point had always made Sixth Uncle Song Changfeng worry. For these years, he had been trying to send young cultivators of the clan to Qinghe Marketplace, hoping that Song Qingwan could cultivate one or two more people.

It is just a pity that the immortal cultivation skill of alchemy is very particular about talent. Among the young generation of the Song family sent over, only one, Song Qingtong, who had average talent, successfully entered the Dao.

Even Song Qingming, in his spare time from cultivation over the years, had tried the path of alchemy. After consuming some spiritual herbs, although he successfully entered the door, he also discovered that he really had no talent for alchemy. Being able to successfully refine low-grade ordinary spiritual elixirs was just relying on his Foundation Establishment cultivation to better control his magic power. As long as he tried higher-grade spiritual elixirs, the success rate was simply too miserable to look at, so he could only temporarily dispel the idea of alchemy.

Hearing this time that Song Qingming was going to Qinghe Marketplace, Sixth Uncle Song Changfeng, who had never given up on this matter, asked him to help send Song Xinli, who had just walked out of the family school not long ago, to Second Sister.

Half an hour later, after successfully completing Sixth Uncle's entrustment, Song Qingming, with a calm face, walked out of the Song family shop alone and walked quickly to the destination of his trip this time, the Immortal Phoenix Tower.

For these two years, Song Qingming had almost never left the scope of Qinghe County. Apart from staying on Mount Funiu to cultivate, the place he went to most often was the Immortal Phoenix Tower in Qinghe Marketplace to satisfy his cravings.

Even after reaching Foundation Establishment, cultivators were able to practice Grain Bigu, but he still could not forget the delicious spiritual food in the immortal cultivation world.

Under Li Quan's thoughtful hospitality, Song Qingming soon ordered a table full of spiritual food.

After becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the place he enjoyed most was coming to a restaurant like the Immortal Phoenix Tower, where he could eat whatever he wanted as he pleased, without having to worry about whether the spirit stones on him were enough to pay the bill like when he was still in the Qi Refining stage.

After a satisfying enjoyment, Song Qingming picked up the spiritual tea on the table and drank a few sips, then leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

A moment later, feeling someone approaching the door of the private room with his released spiritual sense, Song Qingming slowly opened his eyes and discovered that the two people pushing the door and entering were Huang Siyuan and Li Hongyu.

"I reheated a pot of spiritual tea next door. If you are not in a hurry to leave, let's go over there and sit for a while!" After Huang Siyuan entered, she asked Song Qingming with a smile.

Song Qingming had always rarely refused an invitation from a beauty, so he nodded with a smile and followed Huang Siyuan out.

Li Hongyu behind him rarely did not speak this time and went directly outside to call a few clerks to prepare to clean up here.

Every time Song Qingming came to the Immortal Phoenix Tower, no matter how busy she was, Huang Siyuan would specially take out a little time to accompany Song Qingming to sit for a while. Song Qingming was also accustomed to it. Apart from giving her some guidance on cultivation, he would also take the initiative to tell her about some simple trivial matters happening around him.

Just after walking out of the door, Song Qingming suddenly stopped his steps and said to Huang Siyuan: "It's been a while since I went out for a walk with you. If the restaurant is not busy today, how about we go and watch the sunset together."

"Not busy, not busy, Mistress, don't worry, I'll watch over here, I guarantee there won't be any mistakes." Before Huang Siyuan could answer, Li Hongyu, who was clever and mischievous on the side, had already smiled and agreed for her.

Huang Siyuan heard this and glared at Li Hongyu with a blushing face, then explained a few words to her, and only then turned and followed Song Qingming out of the Immortal Phoenix Tower.

After the two left Qinghe Marketplace, they rode Song Qingming's flying sword and arrived directly at the top of a high mountain more than ten miles away from Qinghe Marketplace.
