Chapter 341: Entering Mount Yunwu

Two days after sending a letter to the Huang family, what surprised Song Qingming was that the person who came to the Song family this time was not Huang Shengyue, whom Song Qingming thought, but Huang Sipo, who had only successfully established his foundation more than ten years ago.

Since Huang Sipo established his foundation, except for seeing him once at the banquet held by the Huang family back then, this was the second time he had met him. After more than ten years, Huang Sipo's cultivation base was not much different from Song Qingming's expectation, and he had already broken through to the third level of Foundation Establishment.

"Grand Aunt happened to be in seclusion some days ago. After receiving the letter, the Clan Leader was afraid that other changes would occur if the time was long, so he sent the junior here. I hope Senior Song will forgive me!"

As soon as Huang Sipo arrived at Mount Funiu, seeing the confused look on Song Qingming's face who came to welcome him, he hurriedly explained.

Hearing the news of Huang Shengyue's seclusion, Song Qingming immediately reacted. She was in seclusion to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Huang Shengyue established her foundation many years earlier than Song Qingming, but her cultivation speed after Foundation Establishment was not particularly fast, and she broke through to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment two years later than Song Qingming. This time she could be in seclusion, it was estimated that she should have found a good spiritual item, but whether she could succeed was not certain.

Song Qingming's successive failures to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage in recent years also made him deeply understand the difficulty. Although the sixth level of Foundation Establishment and the seventh level of Foundation Establishment were only separated by one realm, the difficulty of this level was several times higher than the previous levels, almost defeating more than fifty percent of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the cultivation world.

Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators Song Qingming was familiar with, such as Lu Yuanfeng of the original Qinghe Market, Lu Xingde of the Lu family, and Huang Chengliang of the Huang family, their cultivation bases all stagnated for many years after practicing to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and could no longer be improved. Among these people, there was no lack of hard-working people, but without suitable spiritual items to help, they could only waste their years.

"Sigh! Fellow Daoist Huang is already a fellow traveler of our generation, why use the word senior? We should still treat each other as peers in the future, don't break the rules of the cultivation world for tens of thousands of years at will."

Huang Sipo smiled when he heard this, and then stopped being polite and replied: "Fellow Daoist Song is right. Although the junior has established his foundation for some years, he has rarely gone out. I didn't expect that this Funiu Immortal Mountain is also such a beautiful scenery. It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to visit here earlier."

"Fellow Daoist Huang is polite. To talk about beautiful scenery, how can Mount Funiu dare to compare with Mount Taiyuan, the thousand-year spiritual land in our Qinghe County? Being able to get such praise from you today really makes my Song family shine."

Song Qingming, Song Qingyu, and several Song family elders met Huang Sipo one by one and very politely invited him to the council hall.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, this time monsters broke into Qinghe County on a large scale, and there were even Grade 2 monsters mixed in. I guess there must have been some changes in the mountain, so I invited you here to see if we can investigate and calm this matter." After Song Qingming drank a cup of spiritual tea, he roughly repeated the things that happened at Mount Baiyang to him again.

Huang Sipo stood up and arched his hands: "Although Sipo has established his foundation, he has never been deep into Mount Yunwu. The Clan Leader has already given instructions before I came here, just let me listen to your orders."

"Our two families have been allies for many years. Since Fellow Daoist Huang said so, Song will not waste time here. Let the three of us Foundation Establishment cultivators go to Mount Yunwu first to check the Fire-Scaled Leopard's lair to see if we have a chance to kill this monster, and then settle this hidden danger first." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took the initiative to stand up and took Song Qingyu and Huang Sipo out together.

The three flew all the way east for about two hundred miles and finally arrived at the volcano that Song Qingyu had visited before.

Song Qingming put on the Hidden Spirit Shirt to hide his figure and walked around on this mountain. However, the result surprised him. He did not find the trace of the Fire-Scaled Leopard here, and there were not many monsters on the whole mountain, which was completely unlike the territory of a Grade 2 monster.

"Even if it goes out to hunt, this Fire-Scaled Leopard wouldn't take all the monsters on the mountain away, right? Could it be that this monster just happened to migrate to another spiritual mountain?"

In this Mount Yunwu, there were not many Grade 2 spiritual veins, and basically there were monsters entrenched. The Fire-Scaled Leopard liked to practice in the volcanic spiritual vein like the one in front of it the most. There was no reason to abandon such a good place and go to other places to look for spiritual veins.

After Song Qingming brought this news to Song Qingyu and the others, the three of them searched the volcano carefully together and found a huge rock cave at a position near the top of the mountain.

The fire-attribute spiritual energy in the rock cave was very abundant, and there were many monster remains around. After the few arrived here, they didn't need to think to know that this should be the cave where the Fire-Scaled Leopard practiced.

After walking to the depths of the rock cave, Song Qingyu on the side suddenly saw a place that was very scorched in a cave that stretched out in a rock cave. After stepping forward to check carefully, she found some residual ore and traces of human activity on the ground here and hurriedly called Song Qingming and the other two over.

"Other cultivators should have stayed here for a period of time, and the time he left is not too far away. It should be that this person drove away the Fire-Scaled Leopard in order to refine some magic treasure here, which made it not hesitate to abandon this spiritual vein and break into Qinghe County not long ago." After Song Qingming carefully observed the surroundings, he said slowly to the two people beside him.

"This person can drive the original owner, the Fire-Scaled Leopard, away from this place. It can be confirmed that his cultivation base is not below us. Such an unidentified foreign Foundation Establishment cultivator hiding here is really a troublesome thing for us. Fortunately, this person has already left here now." Huang Sipo on the side said with a smile.

Song Qingming shook his head and said solemnly: "This person came here to use the fire vein spiritual energy here to refine a magic treasure. As for whether he has been hiding nearby and whether he has left, it is hard to say now. After returning, we still need to remind the clansmen not to go deep into Mount Yunwu for a period of time."

Mount Yunwu was also a huge mountain spanning thousands of miles, and there were many loose cultivators who would put their cave dwellings nearby. Like the predecessor cultivator's cave dwelling that Song Qingming explored with that Old Daoist Chen before establishing his foundation, it was a Foundation Establishment loose cultivator who built his cave dwelling deep in Mount Yunwu.

There were definitely more than one such cultivator, but in order to hide their cave dwellings, ordinary cultivators would not easily reveal their whereabouts near the cave dwellings.

Regardless of whether this person was still hiding nearby, as long as this person was just an ordinary loose cultivator, the impact on Qinghe County and the Song family would not be too great, and everyone didn't have to worry about this matter. It was just afraid that this person was a bandit cultivator who fled here from other places.

For some reason, after Song Qingming arrived here, a trace of strange familiarity suddenly flashed in his mind, and this feeling made him feel a bit inexplicably uneasy.
