It just so happened that the family had encountered a happy event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming's fourth younger brother had married a year ago and had recently given birth to a son. The family was discussing when to hold a full-month banquet for the child. Just as Song Qingming returned home, his father, Song Dezhang, decided that there was no time like the present, and the family held a grand banquet the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The banquet lasted for two days, and guests came in an endless stream. Many relatives and friends in Mujiao Town came to offer gifts. Because Song Qingming had become an immortal, the Song family was now considered a wealthy and influential household in the western part of Mujiao Town, and naturally, there were many people trying to curry favor with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the banquet, Mother Song led her daughter-in-law to pick up her newborn grandson and went to a quiet room in the backyard. Seeing Song Qingming sitting in the room holding a book, Mother Song smiled and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third son, your father said you are leaving tomorrow, and we don't know when you will return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The book in Song Qingming's hand flashed with green light and was put into his storage bag. He paused and replied softly, \"Child has accepted the clan's mission to guard an outer spiritual mountain and can only return to the mountain in a year. After returning, there will be two years of free cultivation time, so naturally, I won't let Mother miss me for too long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His parents had reached the age of enjoying their grandchildren, which was considered quite old for mortals. Although they had consumed some low-grade spiritual fruits that Song Qingming had obtained on the mountain, and no signs of aging could be seen yet, Song Qingming knew in his heart that a mortal's lifespan was at most...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your father discussed it with me yesterday, and we still want to ask you for a name for this eldest grandson, so that he can be touched by your immortal aura. Maybe this child will have a chance to ascend to immortality in the future.\" Mother Song smiled as she took the child from her daughter-in-law and brought him before Song Qingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sister-in-law on the side was also a woman from a scholarly family. After entering the Song family, she had always been dutiful in managing the household and respectful to her parents-in-law, winning Mother Song's favor. At this moment, she looked at Song Qingming, who was deep in thought, with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A few months ago, the family went to the Fuyun Mountain Range, and our luck was not bad. I even obtained quite a few opportunities. Returning just in time for the child's birth, I think we should call the child Yunshan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Song Yunshan.\" Mother Song recited the name and felt it was good, so she nodded and let her daughter-in-law take the child out first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third son, I know that you immortal families don't like to be tainted by our mortal vulgarity. You have things you need to do. Thanks to you, the family's life is getting better and better. Mother has nothing else to ask of you, just hope you can come back to see us often.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Song Qingming had been at home for the past few days, he had basically stayed in his room and had not had contact with anyone other than a few family members. Mother Song also understood that immortals and mortals were different after all, and her son ultimately did not belong to this small house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason I didn't want to go out to see people these two days was simply because I was afraid that people in the town would talk about our family. After all, people on the mountain have worldly relatives, and things from down the mountain will inevitably spread to the mountain, saying that I don't follow clan rules and participate too much in worldly affairs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I quite like this small house the family left for me. I have already set up a formation in this room these days. When I am not here in the future, don't let anyone come in, so as not to trigger the formation and suffer. Mother, don't worry, I will definitely come back often when I have time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Song nodded after listening and sighed, \"Sigh, you have grown up, and your way of handling things has matured a lot. But Mother always feels that you are not as happy as you were when you were a child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother, people always have to grow up, don't they?\" Song Qingming said to Mother Song with a playful smile. Mother Song looked at him as if he had returned to his childhood appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending Mother Song away, Song Qingming took out his flying sword and carefully pried out a stone brick floor in the room. Then he dug a small pit, put the jade box containing the Water Spirit Fruit into it, and slowly restored the stone slab to its original position. He couldn't use this item yet, and it was not appropriate to carry it with him all the time, so he simply hid the Water Spirit Fruit in Mujiao Town. This place was within the protective formation of Mount Funiu, which was much safer than hiding it on Lingyuan Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After staying on Mount Funiu for a few days, Song Qingming finally received permission from Fourth Elder Song Gucai and returned to Lingyuan Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having not returned for more than two months, Ninth Uncle Song Changxin missed him dearly. During the days when Song Qingming was away, because the family lacked manpower, no one else was arranged to come to Lingyuan Mountain to help him. In order to keep an eye on the normal operation of the mine, he had not been able to go into seclusion for long-term cultivation during this period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Song Qingming return, Song Changxin threw him a pile of spiritual talismans and sundries and immediately went into seclusion to cultivate again. Song Qingming also quickly resumed his previous days of guarding and cultivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this time, Song Qingming brought back a pile of spiritual items from Guiyun Market, and he would have his hands full in the coming days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a month ago in Guiyun Market, Song Qingming spent hundreds of spirit stones in one day, and his once-wealthy storage bag became poor again in an instant. Now he only had a few dozen spirit stones left on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back, Song Qingming had already decided that he would find a way to expand his financial path next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking about it all the way, Song Qingming chose to improve his talisman-making skills first. After two years of desperate talisman-making, his talisman-making skills had reached a bottleneck where he could break through. In the past six months, he had also begun to try making mid-grade spiritual talismans. Although he failed in the end, it was also limited by the Caolu Mountain, where the materials needed to make mid-grade spiritual talismans were scarce and could not be purchased in large quantities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had exchanged for a lot of mid-grade talisman paper in Guiyun Market, he finally had the confidence to break through to become a mid-grade talisman master. As long as he could produce mid-grade spiritual talismans in large quantities in the future, he would not have to worry about the lack of spirit stones in the short term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price of a mid-grade spiritual talisman was several times that of a low-grade spiritual talisman. Although the production cost would also increase, as long as he could have a 30% success rate, the profit would be equally considerable, which was not comparable to Song Qingming's daily production of low-grade spiritual talismans in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-grade spiritual talismans were also much easier to sell in the market than low-grade spiritual talismans. Even on Caolu Mountain, Song Qingming did not have to worry too much about sales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Song family's talisman-making path was quite famous among the nearby Qi Refining families. The clan had not only cultivated two high-grade talisman masters but also six mid-grade talisman masters. Even a diligent cultivator like Ninth Uncle, who spent a lot of time on cultivation, could improve his talisman-making skills to mid-grade in his spare time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to his residence, Song Qingming first took out the talisman-making classic he had obtained in Guiyun Market this time and began to study it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This talisman-making classic was called \"Azure Crow Talismans\" and was written by a second-level low-grade talisman master, Daoist Azure Crow. Although the types of spiritual talismans recorded in it were not many and the market value was not high, it recorded in detail the talisman-making experience of this loose cultivator talisman master throughout his life, and there were many of his personal insights into the talisman path. The talisman-making experience of a second-level talisman master was still of some value to a low-grade talisman master like Song Qingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading it carefully several times, Song Qingming benefited a lot. He also took out the Song family's talisman classic and compared it carefully, finding many commonalities and clever methods. The senior cultivator named Azure Crow indeed had some unique insights into the talisman-making path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The talisman styles recorded in \"Azure Crow Talismans\" were not many, far less than those recorded in the Song family's talisman classic. However, the explanation of the talisman-making process in it was very detailed, which was of great help to Song Qingming in improving his talisman-making level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out the talisman brush that had not been used for several months and opening the various talisman-making materials he had collected, Song Qingming began his path of refining his talisman skills again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 31 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1659,"2026-06-14T03:09:34.521Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","921cd4a099c76c17ee01b894200f570ce6564bfac9cb128c6760013f1fdbbabf","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-31","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-29",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
