Chapter 343: Seventh Level of Foundation Establishment

The spiritual mountain occupied by the Fire-Scaled Leopard was a Grade 2 spiritual vein in Mount Yunwu closest to the Song family. The low-level monsters in its territory would occasionally wander into the Song family's territory in Qinghe County to make trouble. Now that the leading Grade 2 monster had been beheaded, without the suppression of high-level monsters, these low-level monsters would inevitably fight for territory with each other.

Killing the Fire-Scaled Leopard could be considered as temporarily solving a major disaster for the Song family. Although there would be new Grade 2 monsters coming to occupy it after a period of time, at least the Song family didn't have to worry about the Fire-Scaled Leopard's revenge in the short term.

After Song Qingming and the three killed the Fire-Scaled Leopard, they spent some time decomposing the monster materials on it before hurriedly leaving the mountain.

After returning to Mount Funiu, except for Song Qingyu taking away the fur of the Fire-Scaled Leopard for talisman making, the remaining refining materials such as sharp claws and steel teeth were all handed over to Huang Sipo by Song Qingming.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, please take these materials back and let Fellow Daoist Shengyue see if she can take action to refine a few Grade 2 magic treasures."

"Fellow Daoist Song, don't worry, leave this matter to me. After Grand Aunt comes out of seclusion, I will definitely ask her to take action to help with this favor. By then, no matter how many magic treasures can be refined, I will definitely send one to Mount Funiu."

"That would be troublesome for Fellow Daoist Huang." Song Qingming personally sent Huang Sipo away from Mount Funiu with a smile on his face.

This trip to Mount Yunwu, Song Qingming found that although Huang Sipo's cultivation talent was not particularly outstanding, he was very smart in handling affairs. He was a good family leader. If the Huang family could be handed over to him in the future, not to mention being able to expand the territory and carry forward, Huang Sipo's ability to be a monarch of guarding the achievements was more than enough.

After seeing Huang Sipo off, Song Qingming just returned to the cave dwelling on the mountaintop and happened to see Song Qingyu waiting for him at the cave dwelling.

"Did Eldest Brother come to find me?"

"Hmm! Second Sister sent a letter from Qinghe Market saying that Feng De notified all families to discuss matters at the market early next month." Song Qingyu smiled and handed a letter over.

Song Qingming opened the letter and looked at it. Seeing that this was still a normal market discussion notified to all families every few years, and there was nothing special, he returned the letter to Song Qingyu.

"Qingyu, I am going to be in seclusion for a period of time. You go to the market on my behalf this time. If anyone asks about me, just tell them the truth. During this time, the family will be handed over to you. You can decide everything yourself, no need to ask me for instructions on everything."

Song Qingyu nodded: "All right, Seventh Brother, you can rest assured and be in seclusion. I know what to do."

After solving the matter of the Fire-Scaled Leopard, Song Qingming put down the trivial matters in the clan and began to be in seclusion to prepare for breaking through his cultivation base.

First, he used a few calming spiritual talismans, and then Song Qingming ran the "Jade Profound Scripture" in his body with both hands, and soon adjusted the magic power in his body to the best state.

"Senior, for this seclusion, please help me."

"Hehe! Helping you is also helping myself. You can rest assured about this. Your kid's technique seems to be a bit special. Can you tell me where you learned it?" Feng He hesitated for a moment before suddenly asking.

Hearing that Feng He seemed to be interested in the technique he practiced, Song Qingming thought about it and didn't intend to hide it from him: "The technique I practiced is called the Jade Profound Scripture, which is a somewhat incomplete technique that can only be practiced to the Golden Core stage. I actually don't know its origin very well.

Back then, when I hadn't established my foundation, I found it in a magic treasure I bought from a market. After I got this technique, the magic treasure was also damaged. When I went back to look for the seller a few years later, the two people who opened the shop were nowhere to be found. I don't know if Senior can see its origin and where to find the follow-up technique."

"Oh! I didn't see that, but I just think the technique you practiced is interesting. It doesn't seem to be the common techniques in this cultivation world. It should be created by a high-ranking person. I don't know whether to say it is good or bad that you practice this technique."

"What does Senior mean by this? Please tell me directly." Hearing Feng He's answer, Song Qingming hurriedly asked nervously.

"Hehe! You can succeed in establishing your foundation with pseudo-spiritual roots, mostly this technique has some credit. But you should also know that although this kind of technique created by high-ranking people is much more powerful than ordinary techniques, it is generally very difficult to find follow-up techniques.

After you practice to the Golden Core realm, normally you must switch to other techniques to continue to improve your cultivation base. But if you can continue to study this technique and create a new technique, then maybe you can have higher achievements in the future. This depends on how you choose when the time comes." Feng He paused for a moment and said slowly with a smile.

"The junior hasn't even passed the late Foundation Establishment stage yet. It's too early to talk about things after the Golden Core." Song Qingming sighed.

Although Feng He mistakenly attributed the reason for Song Qingming's success in establishing his foundation to the technique he practiced, Song Qingming knew very well how difficult it was for him to establish his foundation back then, and it was not entirely relying on this technique that he could walk to today.

As for whether to switch techniques in the future, Song Qingming didn't have much confidence in whether he could form a Golden Core now, so he didn't have the heart to think about things after that. Let's pass this level first.

After Song Qingming let go of the distracting thoughts in his heart, he concentrated his energy and took a deep breath, and then swallowed the White Jade Elixir that had been prepared long ago.

Under the patient guidance of Feng He, Song Qingming spent nearly half a year in seclusion this time and finally successfully raised his cultivation base to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, successfully breaking through this bottleneck that had plagued him for many years.

After walking out of the cave dwelling, Song Qingming came directly to the highest point of the mountaintop, overlooking the entire Mount Funiu.

Now that his cultivation base had broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, Song Qingming's personal strength had stood at the highest level of all cultivators in Qinghe County. Next, he had to start considering how to form a Golden Core.

Looking at the entire Qinghe County, there had never been a Golden Core powerhouse in its thousand-year history. If Song Qingming could really walk to this step, he and the entire Song family would be famous in the Wei State cultivation world. Thinking of this, there was a hint of excitement in his heart.

"Seventh Brother, you finally finished your seclusion!" A clear voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

Song Qingming turned his head and saw Song Qingyu in green clothes had already come to his side.

In these six months, Song Qingyu also took advantage of the talisman-making materials Song Qingming brought back from Yangshan Market this time to successfully raise her talisman-making technique to Grade 2. After learning the news of Song Qingming's exit from seclusion, she couldn't wait to come to Song Qingming to tell him this good news.
