Chapter 311

Although Song Qingming is a cultivator of Qinghe County, occasionally in his spare time from cultivation, he would also go out to the nearby Jinshan Market and Jiangling Market to wander around. Although he wouldn't dare to say he had seen all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in Jiangling County, he still knew some of them.

After scanning the people who boarded the boat together, Song Qingming somewhat unexpectedly discovered an acquaintance of his, Cao Rongxue, a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Cao family in Pingyang County.

More than a decade ago, when Song Qingming went to Pingyang County to purchase magic tools, he had already become acquainted with her. The magic tool Fire Pattern Sword in his hand was purchased from Cao Rongxue back then. Since then, every time Song Qingming went to Jinshan Market to purchase spiritual objects, he would stop by the Water Moon Hall of the Cao family to wander around and see if there were any spiritual objects he needed.

After coming and going, Song Qingming and Cao Rongxue, who was responsible for managing the Cao family's industry in Jinshan Market, also became familiar with each other. Although they couldn't be considered very good friends, they were considered very familiar.

Song Qingming had had many things to do in these few years and hadn't been to Jinshan Market for a long time. Seeing Cao Rongxue on this flying boat heading to support Lu Guo at this moment, Song Qingming, who was alone, felt somewhat intimate and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

Before Song Qingming could get close, Cao Rongxue had already noticed him and cupped her hands, speaking first: "Fellow Daoist Song, it's really a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"It's been many years since we last met. Is Fellow Daoist Cao doing well? Are you also going to Lu Guo together this time?"

The lifespan of Cao Wanjiang of the Cao family was already nearing its limit, and it was heard last year that this Cao family Patriarch was already bedridden. Logically speaking, at this time, Cao Rongxue, as the next-generation Patriarch of the Cao family, should be staying in the Cao family to manage affairs, and shouldn't be following the Grand Void Gate to the front lines of Lu Guo, thousands of miles away.

"The Patriarch has ordered me to go out and gain some experience. It just so happens that there is this opportunity, so I took the initiative to come. This is Fellow Daoist Zhao of Puyan Mountain, who also came from Pingyang County with me."

Following Cao Rongxue was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Zhao Mengzhen. He was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator of Pingyang County. Pingyang County is the largest county in Jiangling County, and there are relatively many Foundation Establishment families there. It was precisely because of this that they were conscripted two Foundation Establishment cultivators at the same time this time.

Zhao Mengzhen is the only Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Zhao family. This person achieved Foundation Establishment earlier than Song Qingming. Back then, during the beast turmoil, when Song Qingming was still a small Qi Refining cultivator, he had seen him from afar. It's just that Zhao Mengzhen's cultivation talent could only be considered average, and he had only cultivated to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment cultivation until now, which was already inferior to Song Qingming, this latecomer.

"Fellow Daoist Song, it is fate that we are traveling together this time. Please take care of each other." Just after Cao Rongxue finished introducing, Zhao Mengzhen, whose face was already filled with smiles, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed solemnly to Song Qingming.

"Easily done, easily done! Fellow Daoist Zhao is too polite!" Faced with Zhao Mengzhen's intentional leaning, Song Qingming just nodded lightly with an indifferent expression and didn't say much.

Although not very familiar, Song Qingming had also heard a little about Zhao Mengzhen's character. This person is also a "jack-of-all-trades" character like Lu Xingde. Based on Song Qingming's many years of experience in dealing with people, it is best not to have deep friendships with such people. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a strange thing if he suddenly sold you with a smile one day.

After Song Qingming and the others boarded the boat, the flying boat, under the manipulation of a few Grand Void Gate disciples, quickly flew up again and slowly entered the high altitude, heading south and rushing quickly. Its speed was already comparable to the sword flying of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Like this kind of large flying boat, it is an important tool for the Grand Void Gate to transport materials. Usually, besides a few searching for materials on fixed routes in Wei Guo, other large flying boats are rarely used. This time, because of the need to transport a large amount of materials to support the great war on the front lines of Lu Guo, the Grand Void Gate had to take it out.

This flying boat that Song Qingming took, after departing from Jiangling Market, arrived at Danyang Market in Wei Guo after a few days. After loading a large batch of materials in Danyang Market again, five or six Foundation Establishment cultivators came up.

These people were the same as those who came up from Jiangling Market, and they were also Foundation Establishment cultivators conscripted from the vicinity of Danyang Market to go to the front lines of Lu Guo. However, unlike Song Qingming and the others, their faces appeared relatively heavy after boarding the boat, and they obviously had a bit more worry about the unknown battlefield thousands of miles away.

After the flying boat walked south for a few days, it finally arrived at the Grand Void Gate's mountain gate, Guyang Mountain. Here, the flying boat stopped for a full day. Besides loading a pile of materials, quite a few Grand Void Gate disciples also came onto the flying boat.

Among these Grand Void Gate disciples, not only were there Foundation Establishment cultivators, but there were also quite a few older Qi Refining disciples, adding up to more than two hundred people, which had already filled the entire flying boat to the brim.

When it was about to depart again the next day, a woman in yellow wearing a veil suddenly appeared on this flying boat without any warning.

This woman was relatively small. Although she was wearing a veil and couldn't see her full face, from the unique momentum emitted from her body, everyone present could also feel that this woman's background was not simple.

Just when Song Qingming and the others hadn't reacted, a few Grand Void Gate Foundation Establishment cultivators who recognized this person had already started to take the lead in bowing and saluting to the woman in yellow.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle Zhao!"

Seeing this situation, other Grand Void Gate disciples also hurriedly followed and saluted. Although most of them were seeing this Golden Core ancestor of the sect for the first time, they had already felt the powerful aura emitted from her body, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at her anymore.

Song Qingming, who followed and saluted, heard the Grand Void Gate disciples' unified address and quickly guessed the woman's identity.

There are only two female Golden Core cultivators in the Grand Void Gate. Among them, that heaven's pride, Bai Yuxian, Song Qingming had already seen, and it was obviously not this woman in yellow. Then there was only another Golden Core ancestor who had also been in Core Formation for many years.

The woman in yellow is named Zhao Fenglian, and she is one of the two female Golden Core cultivators of the Grand Void Gate. Although her age is less than twenty years different from Bai Yuxian's, her current cultivation compared to the other party is too far behind. Zhao Fenglian, until now, has only cultivated to the third level of Golden Core.

Bai Yuxian, who achieved Core Formation decades earlier than her, now has a cultivation that is almost at the ninth level of Golden Core. As long as the Grand Void Gate can carefully support her in the future, she has a great possibility of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm. And Zhao Fenglian, ever since achieving Core Formation, has had a bumpy cultivation and slow progress. In the future, she will have no hope of achieving Nascent Soul. It would be very good for her if she could raise her cultivation to the late stage of Golden Core.

After Zhao Fenglian waved her hand, she turned around and said softly to everyone: "The matter is urgent, so no need for more formalities. Let's set off quickly!"

At the order of this Golden Core ancestor, the flying boat quickly rose into the air again, directly turned its direction, and headed quickly towards Lu Guo in the southeast.
