Gao Jinhe of the Gao family and Lu Xingde of the Lu family were also sitting here. Upon seeing Song Qingming, the two nodded slightly, which counted as a greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the four major Foundation Establishment families in Qinghe County had been fighting in secret, they would still give some face when invited to something in public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingde was still the same; although his cultivation had reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, he always had a slick appearance no matter who he talked to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Jinhe, on the other hand, was different. Since seeing him once in the Taiyue Lake Secret Realm back then, Song Qingming hadn't seen him appear for nearly ten years. Seeing him this time, he found that the old ghost’s demeanor had changed quite a bit; his beard and hair were already half-white, giving the impression that he had suddenly aged more than ten years. It seemed the rumors were not false; this old guy must have been seriously injured in the last secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Song Qingming’s cultivation had broken through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, a trace of surprise appeared in Gao Jinhe’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Song Qingming first established his Foundation back then, Gao Jinhe had sent people to investigate him. According to the situation reported by the people below, this person was only a three-spiritual-root cultivator. Seeing his cultivation speed, it was already catching up to his own two-spiritual-root Gao Yubai. This kid not only had high cultivation talent but his own luck was also far beyond ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the Huang family’s trip to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, not only did they lose Huang Chengliang, but they also injured a Carefree Sect Huang family cultivator who came to help. As a result, although Song Qingming was missing at the time, he returned to Qinghe County unscathed. Later, going to such a dangerous place as the Taiyue Lake Secret Realm, even he, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, almost lost his life there. Song Qingming, relying on his third-level Foundation Establishment cultivation, was also able to follow the Huang family and eventually walk out safely, which made him have to admire this kid’s opportunity and fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, when he and Huang Shengxin’s lifespans were exhausted, the ones in Qinghe County who had hope of breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment early would probably be Song Qingming and Gao Yubai. After Gao Jinhe calculated it, he decided that after returning to the clan this time, he must remind Gao Yubai to pay attention to easing the relationship with the Song family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming naturally didn't feel Gao Jinhe’s calculations. After greeting Gao and Lu, Song Qingming’s gaze had already turned to other positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the seats of the major Foundation Establishment families, the Huang family also set up dozens of seats. Those who came were the Qi Refining families attached to the Huang family and some loose cultivator forces with greater fame in Qinghe County. When the main family held a Foundation Establishment Ceremony, these attached family forces certainly had to come to join in the fun to show their loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inviting these people to come was naturally the Huang family wanting to take this opportunity to show off their strength to those below, so as to stabilize the hearts of those below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time when Huang Chengliang died, the Gao and Lu families took the opportunity to make trouble and occupied quite a bit of the Huang family’s territory, causing the Qi Refining families under the Huang family to start feeling insecure. One family that had been suppressed by the Huang family even directly defected to the Gao family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this incident, the Huang family didn't dare to deal with it publicly. It wasn't until Huang Shengxin failed to form a Core that the Huang family had time to deal with this matter. Under Huang Shengxin’s thunderous rage, the Gao family finally had to make concessions and hand over a portion of the cultivators to appease his anger, and several families that had been wavering in their attitude were also taught a good lesson by the Huang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Song family, which had only become a Foundation Establishment family for twenty years, the Huang family had accumulated for nearly a thousand years and controlled forty percent of the territory in Qinghe County, with more than twenty attached Qi Refining families under its command. In comparison, the Song family, which was also a Foundation Establishment family, only had six attached families so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after Song Qingming took his seat, Huang Shengxin, dressed in grand attire, led a young man into the banquet venue. After everyone took a look, they soon felt that this person’s magic power was not bad and was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was attending behind Huang Shengxin, Song Qingming and the others could guess without guessing that he was the master of this Huang family Foundation Establishment Ceremony, Huang Sipo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Huang Sipo’s appearance was ordinary, he exuded a steady aura all over, quite a bit of a heavy and steady look. Under the guidance of Huang Shengyue at the scene, Huang Sipo took the initiative to step forward and greet Song Qingming and the others one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after Huang Sipo appeared, a cultivator guarding outside for the Huang family suddenly ran in hurriedly and whispered in Huang Shengyue’s ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ancestor, Senior Lu is here and is almost here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Lu? It should be Lu Yuanfeng who is here. Sipo, stop here for a moment and follow me out to welcome him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Huang Shengyue’s voice fell, just as he was about to stand up to welcome him, he didn't want a hearty laugh to suddenly come from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Huang, don't bother. It was Lu who came late this time. How dare I let the host come out to welcome me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Lu, hurry up and take your seat. It is truly making my Huang family’s Taiyuan Mountain shine that you could take time to come today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Lu Yuanfeng had already taken the initiative to walk into the banquet venue, Huang Shengyue hurriedly stepped forward and led them to the seats that had been prepared earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lu Yuanfeng come to Taiyuan Mountain in person, Song Qingming also thought secretly in his heart that it was not common for Lu Yuanfeng to leave Qinghe Market for so many years. Being able to attend the Foundation Establishment Ceremony held by the Huang family in person today showed that his relationship with the Huang family was still somewhat unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu came in a hurry today and didn't specifically prepare any gifts. This jade pendant has followed me for many years and has some wonderful uses. Today, I will give it to Fellow Daoist Sipo as a meeting gift. I hope you won't refuse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after Lu Yuanfeng took his seat, he stood up again and took the initiative to present a gift to Huang Sipo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Huang Shengyue hurriedly took Huang Sipo over to thank him and return the gift, then took the round jade pendant sent by Lu Yuanfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The round jade pendant he mentioned was a relatively special first-level top-grade magic artifact. This item could be treasured by Lu Yuanfeng for many years, showing it was not an ordinary product. It was estimated that its value might not be lower than an ordinary second-level low-grade talisman. Sending such a big gift as soon as he came up, Lu Yuanfeng truly had a big hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison, the gifts sent by Song Qingming and the others were much more shabby. They were either longevity peaches and spirit fruits, or ordinary spirit wine and pills. Although these things looked very festive, they were all low-level spiritual items worth dozens of spirit stones. This comparison immediately made Lu Yuanfeng appear much more generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Huang family didn't seem to care much about this. No matter what gift you sent, Huang Shengyue would accept everything and would give a return gift, never losing face for the person who sent the gift. Song Qingming also appreciated this point very much.\u003C\u002Fp>",1389,"2026-06-14T03:09:35.509Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e26344abc75eca9abb8cb3fcef0866373cfd9e5204b6d6e0bbdeeefad349bd55","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-278","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-276",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
