Chapter 297: Finding a Beast Tamer
Back then, when Li Quan brought Li Hongyu to Qinghe Market, it happened that Song Qingming helped the grandfather and granddaughter, which allowed them to have a stable foothold in Qinghe Market. Over the years, the Li family had been very grateful to the Song family, and for more than twenty years in the Immortal Phoenix Tower, they had been working hard and never mentioned any excessive requests.
Song Xinhu and Li Hongyu were just about the same age. Back then, when Li Quan brought Li Hongyu to the Immortal Phoenix Tower, the two had already known each other and had frequent contact afterward. In the past few years, because of Song Xinhu's active approach, the relationship between the two had almost been brought to the surface. If it weren't for the fact that the old man Li Quan was still a bit reluctant to let Li Hongyu marry into the Song family, the two would have already publicly become Daoist companions.
Li Hongyu's cultivation talent was better than Song Xinhu's. Coupled with the fact that she didn't lack spirit stones for cultivation relying on a spiritual chef skill in the Immortal Phoenix Tower over the years, and with the full support of old man Li, her cultivation was even higher than Song Xinhu's. At this moment, she was not far from the late stage of Qi Refining. If there was an opportunity, she would also have a chance for Foundation Establishment in the future.
In contrast, Song Xinhu's cultivation had not yet broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining. If there were no accidents, he would not be able to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining before the age of sixty in his life, and basically, there was no chance for Foundation Establishment. He had long seen through this point, and he was often led by her when managing the restaurant with Li Hongyu.
Regarding this nephew with a somewhat soft personality, Song Qingming didn't force him too much. After all, Song Xinhu's cultivation talent was not high. Being able to recognize his own positioning early like Fourth Uncle in his life, living a comfortable life, and then doing things he wanted to do, this could also be considered a good thing.
"Skyfire Roc, still in deep sleep?" After being led into a private room with no one, Song Qingming immediately asked softly.
The reason he came over this time was precisely because Song Xinhu had sent him a message. The Skyfire Roc, which Li Hongyu had been taking care of, had started to fall into a deep sleep half a month ago, and no matter how she called it, she couldn't wake it up. Helpless, the two had to send a message to Song Qingming, who was far away on Mount Funiu, to explain the matter.
"I don't know what happened. It was fine a while ago. After Xinhu and I took it to Mount Yunwu to hunt once, it started to sleep the next day after returning. No matter how I call it, it won't wake up. Even using its favorite elixirs can't lure it out. I don't know if it ate something strange when it was at Mount Yunwu to become like this."
After Li Hongyu finished speaking, she took out a red spirit beast bag from her waist and respectfully handed it to Song Qingming.
Song Qingming opened the spirit beast bag and looked, finding that it was indeed as Li Hongyu said. The Skyfire Roc, this foodie who once almost ate him poor, was now lying safely in the spirit beast bag, and the situation didn't seem to be anything wrong.
He tried to use the spirit beast contract in his body to control the Skyfire Roc, only to find that this guy just shook slightly and didn't move, and never woke up as Song Qingming thought. He could only shake his head helplessly.
"It has been sleeping for more than ten days. Even if it really ate the wrong thing, logically it should have been digested. It shouldn't be like this. Hongyu, have you been unable to see what's wrong with it for so long?"
Li Hongyu had followed Huang Siyuan for many years and often helped her take care of the Skyfire Roc. Over the years, she had also learned beast taming skills early. To say that her beast taming level was not necessarily higher than those beast tamers in the Song family was really not necessarily true.
Facing Song Qingming's sincere inquiry, although Li Hongyu also wanted to help very much, her own ability was really limited. After studying for so long and flipping through many books, she found nothing. She could only shake her head helplessly at Song Qingming.
Seeing that Li Hongyu had indeed tried her best, Song Qingming nodded and thought for a while before saying: "Then let it be for now. I will take it to other places to ask and see what is wrong with this guy and how to wake it up."
After leaving the Immortal Phoenix Tower, Song Qingming searched around in the market with the Skyfire Roc and asked several famous beast tamers in Qinghe Market. The result made Song Qingming somewhat surprised. These people were already the beast tamers with the best levels in Qinghe Market, and without exception, none of them could see what was going on with the Skyfire Roc.
In the end, Song Qingming returned to the Song family's shop helplessly. Now that even a first-tier high-grade beast tamer was helpless, he could only go to Guiyun Market to see if there was anyone with a higher level, to see if there was any way to wake up the Skyfire Roc. Before leaving, he thought of asking Shi Chun first where there was a beast tamer above the second tier in Guiyun Market, to see if he could have a way to wake up the Skyfire Roc.
Hearing Song Qingming ask about the news of a second-tier beast tamer, Shi Chun smiled in surprise and replied: "Hehe! To find a second-tier beast tamer, there is actually one in our Qinghe County. For the Supreme Elder to go to Guiyun Market for this matter, this is really going far to seek near."
"There is a second-tier beast tamer in Qinghe County? I don't know. Shi brother, hurry up and tell me." Hearing Shi Chun say this, Song Qingming was surprised and asked Shi Chun with a puzzled face.
"When I was at Mount Fengtou, I heard that Senior Ma is a second-tier beast tamer. A disciple under him has always had a good relationship with me. I once heard him tell me with my own ears that Senior Ma once subdued a second-tier Gale Wind over ten years ago. Being able to do this, I think his beast taming level should have reached the second tier. Qinghe Market is only six hundred miles away from Mount Fengtou. Why not go there and ask first?"
"You are right. Fortunately, I came to ask you first, otherwise, I might really have done as you said, going far to seek near and running directly to Guiyun Market."
Hearing Shi Chun mention Senior Ma of Mount Fengtou, Song Qingming immediately knew who he was talking about, and a smile appeared on his face.
This person's name was Ma Boshan, one of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators sent by the Xiaoyao Sect to guard and manage the Gengjin mine there. This person had a good relationship with Lu Yuanfeng, who was stationed in Qinghe Market before, and was considered a relatively hospitable person. After he came to Mount Fengtou, Song Qingming had also met him twice.
If Ma Boshan could really help wake up the Skyfire Roc, it would save him a lot of trouble. Otherwise, Song Qingming would have to make a special trip to Guiyun Market to deal with this matter, and a round trip would delay at least seven or eight days.
After getting Shi Chun's guidance, Song Qingming didn't rush to set out, but specially arranged for people to prepare some gifts for Ma Boshan, and then brought the Skyfire Roc to visit the Mount Fengtou mine.
