Chapter 351: Secretly Going Down the Mountain

Hearing this, Song Qingming immediately stopped the movements in his hands. Ever since he broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment in seclusion, the Wind Crane that had been following him had not taken the initiative to speak to him. Today, seeing him start to pack things, this old guy could no longer sit still.

"Last time I already promised the senior that as long as I broke through my cultivation base, I would go out to help you find a suitable physical body. I, Song Qingming, have always been a man of my word. The senior has followed me for these years, so you must have been able to see that, right!"

"Haha, not bad! You are indeed a straightforward person who keeps his word. I also like your character very much. It seems that my decision to cooperate with you at the beginning was indeed a correct decision."

Song Qingming shook his head, put the remaining few necessary items into his storage bag, and said slowly: "Senior, it's better not to be happy too early. You also know that this matter is not easy to handle. If I am careless and have my clues seen through by others this time, I am afraid it will be very difficult for the two of us to escape the pursuit of the Carefree Sect."

"Hmph! If you are afraid, it's not that there is no safer way, as long as you are willing to bring that child over."

Hearing that the Wind Crane's words were somewhat pointed, Song Qingming immediately understood that this old guy seemed to have already taken a fancy to Song Yuanli, who had just gone up the mountain not long ago.

"Senior, I think you'd better not have this idea again. Not to mention that doing so will still have risks, I am also not a Patriarch who would sell out his own clansmen at will, right."

"Haha! You kid are really too young and don't know what this cultivation world is really like. When you form the Golden Core in the future, you will understand that the family you are wholeheartedly protecting now will only be a stepping stone on your cultivation path in the future. At that time, the life and death of a few clansmen should be about the same as ants crawling on the ground to you."

"Hmm! Even if what you say is very correct, these are indeed too early for me. Now I am still just a small Foundation Establishment cultivator and cannot see such long-term things. It is indeed impossible for me to do this. I hope you can be a little understanding."

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he activated the few restrictions he had set up at the entrance of the cave dwelling and then quietly left Mount Funiu under the cover of night.

A month later, in a restaurant in Guiyun Market of the Wei State, Song Qingming, who had ordered a table of delicious spiritual meals, was tasting the spiritual wine in his hand while watching the endless stream of pedestrians of all kinds on the street downstairs.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, have you heard? Last month, a guy found five second-level Fire Grasses near Old Lonely Mountain."

"What? You are talking about Old Lonely Mountain? I have been near there before. How could there be second-level Fire Grasses in that place, and five of them found at once? Is what you said true or false?"

At a dining table not far from Song Qingming, two young rogue cultivators were discussing some things in low voices. Because the distance was close enough, they didn't expect that this inconspicuous person in a green robe wearing a cloak sitting next to them would be a Foundation Establishment cultivator with profound cultivation, and all the words they said fell into Song Qingming's ears without a single word missing.

"The news came out from Guixiang Pavilion yesterday, so how could this be fake? I heard that the guy exchanged it for eight hundred spirit stones at once. He really had great luck. Brother Feng, since you have been to Old Lonely Mountain, you must be very familiar with that place. Why don't we go there together and see? Maybe there are still second-level spiritual medicines that haven't been found."

"Hmm! Fellow Daoist is right. While this news hasn't spread yet, let's set off immediately after we finish eating, so as not to be preempted by others."

"That would be great, I happen to have this intention too..."

Near Guiyun Market, many rogue cultivators from the north of the Wei State gather. These rogue cultivators do not have fixed spiritual veins to cultivate, and their lives are mostly very tight. For the sake of a few trivial spirit stones for cultivation, they often need to run around in the crisis-ridden Fuyun Mountain Range all year round.

And the Fuyun Mountain Range, a place where the demon race and the human race are intertwined, not only can find various spiritual resources that cultivators need most, but is also full of various opportunities that can allow ordinary cultivators to turn over overnight.

In order to attract more cultivators to go to the Fuyun Mountain Range to search for spiritual items, Guiyun Market often deliberately releases news of some ordinary rogue cultivators finding high-level spiritual items.

When Song Qingming was wandering in Guiyun Market in his early years, he had seen many young cultivators like these two who, after hearing the news of others getting rich overnight, swarmed into the Fuyun Mountain Range.

Seeing these two people leave the restaurant with excited faces, Song Qingming smiled and shook his head, then continued to taste the delicious spiritual food on his table.

Ever since he had the old guy Wind Crane by his side, in order not to expose the secret of the remnant map on his body, Song Qingming had not left Mount Funiu much for more than ten years, and he didn't dare to show the ability of the remnant map to quickly restore magic power in front of him.

In order to keep this secret, for these ten years, Song Qingming had no way to rely on the help of the remnant map to draw spiritual talismans to exchange for spirit stones. The savings he had accumulated in his storage bag before had now been spent almost completely. Now, being able to eat such a spiritual food feast can be considered a relatively luxurious thing for him.

As his cultivation base gets higher and higher, the elixirs and spiritual items needed for daily cultivation are also getting more and more expensive. Spirit stones have now become very important to Song Qingming. If he doesn't hurry up and send this great god Wind Crane away from his side now, Song Qingming himself feels that he is about to be unable to hold on.

This is also one of the reasons why he made up his mind this time and hurried down the mountain to solve this matter. A Yuan Infant old monster with profound cultivation like Wind Crane has always not followed many rules in his actions. If he really finds out the secret of the remnant map, it is hard to guarantee that this old guy will not be tempted.

Not long after the two people sitting on the side left, a yellow-clothed man with a somewhat thin appearance came to the second floor. Ignoring the restaurant waiter who took the initiative to greet him, the yellow-clothed man scanned the second floor slightly and then went straight to Song Qingming's location.

"Senior, the matter you asked me to inquire about last time already has some clues." The yellow-clothed man walked to the front of Song Qingming, bowed his hands, and said respectfully.

"Oh! No hurry, sit down and talk slowly!" Song Qingming beckoned to the visitor, signaling him to sit down and eat something together.

After the yellow-clothed man sat down somewhat embarrassedly, looking at the table full of delicious spiritual food, he didn't dare to pick up the bowl and chopsticks in front of him, but only drank a cup of spiritual wine that Song Qingming handed him personally.

"Senior, just a few days ago, some cultivators in the market saw people from the Four Seas Gang appearing near Longyun Mountain. Longyun Mountain is a mountain of chaotic rocks, and very few people go there. It is estimated that they are very likely hiding there."

"Good! You did a good job on this matter. You take these spirit stones first. As long as I can successfully find them this time, I will definitely thank you again when I come back."

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out more than a dozen spirit stones from his storage bag, handed them to the yellow-clothed man, and then stood up and left the restaurant.
