Chapter 408

Seeing that more elders agreed with giving the Foundation Establishment Pill to Song Xintang, Song Qingming thoughtfully turned his head to look at Song Qingyu, who had not expressed her stance, but found that her eyes had been staring at him.

"I know everyone's opinions, and I have a decision in my heart about this matter. I will announce the candidate for Foundation Establishment in a few days. Next, I need to talk about the second thing.

This time I went to participate in the Mount Tuoyun trade fair and was lucky enough to buy a set of suitable array discs. Next, I plan to upgrade the spiritual vein of Mount Funiu. To improve the spiritual vein, I still need to prepare spirit stones. I am afraid the family will have to reduce some expenses in these few years, so everyone should be mentally prepared."

Hearing that Song Qingming wanted to improve the spiritual vein of Mount Funiu, all the Song family elders present also revealed a trace of joy.

Song Qingshi stood up and said with a smile: "Now there are more and more cultivators on the mountain, and the spiritual energy is indeed not enough. Moreover, the family might have one more Foundation Establishment cultivator next, so improving the spiritual vein is already an imminent matter. Clan Leader, rest assured, we will definitely go all out to prepare for this matter."

"The Clan Leader is so thoughtful, we naturally cannot neglect this matter. I am already old and cannot make much contribution to the family anymore. This time upgrading the spiritual vein, I will take the lead and donate this magic treasure to the family's Hidden Gold Pavilion first. I also ask Qingsi to help arrange to take it to the market to exchange for spirit stones."

Seeing that Thirteenth Uncle Song Changxiong had already taken the initiative to take out a high-grade magic treasure he had treasured for many years, other elders also followed suit and set an example, donating some spirit stones and spiritual items one after another. Even the two Foundation Establishment cultivators, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, also donated several hundred spirit stones as an example.

After the meeting, Song Qingming did not return directly to his cave dwelling. Seeing that it was late and the bright moon was in the sky, he walked alone on the mountain path and finally came to the Moon-Gazing Pavilion behind the mountain.

The bright moon hung high, illuminating the scenery on the mountain, which was quiet and beautiful. The breeze gently brushed his face, bringing a trace of coolness. Song Qingming sat in the Moon-Gazing Pavilion and thought of himself when he was still raising spirit stones to impact the fourth level of Qi Refining.

From breaking through the fourth level of Qi Refining at the age of twenty and going down the mountain, to now that he is nearly a hundred years old, scenes of what happened in his cultivation over these years emerged in Song Qingming's mind.

"Qingming, why are you hiding here to enjoy the quiet, making me look for you for a long time." Just when Song Qingming was still recalling the past, Song Qingshi came to the Moon-Gazing Pavilion with a smile.

Song Qingming put away the thoughts in his mind and hurriedly stood up: "Eldest Brother, what urgent matter is so difficult to decide that you are looking for me everywhere so late."

"This time the family is upgrading the spiritual vein, which requires a lot of spirit stones, and there is still a big gap. I just discussed with Qingsi and want to hold another donation meeting at the Hidden Gold Pavilion, summoning all cultivators in the clan to voluntarily donate spiritual items. What do you think about this?"

"It can be held, but let Qingsi keep good accounts of the donated spiritual items and register them in the book. Although the life of the bottom-level cultivators in the family has been better these years, we cannot forcibly coerce them to donate spiritual items. Let's do it like before, even if the family borrows from them, and slowly return it to them when the days are better in the future."

Song Qingshi nodded and said: "Good, just do as you say. Qingming, that Foundation Establishment Pill, have you already decided to give it to Xintang?"

Song Qingming nodded slightly and said softly: "Eldest Brother, rest assured! There is still time for Yuanli's Foundation Establishment. When the time comes, I will arrange it. The family is not what it used to be, so it will definitely not wrong him.

It's just a pity that I didn't manage to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill at Mount Tuoyun this time. I really can't take care of Xinhe here. I think you should let him come to my cave dwelling tomorrow."

"You are doing it for the family, no matter who you choose, someone will be wronged, so don't think too much. I will let Xinhe know about it later." After getting Song Qingming's affirmative answer, Song Qingshi nodded calmly and then left the Moon-Gazing Pavilion.

Early the next morning, Song Xinhe, who had already received the message from Song Qingshi, walked quickly to Song Qingming's cave dwelling on the mountaintop.

At this time, he already knew about the family's discussion on the ownership of the Foundation Establishment Pill yesterday and also knew that he had lost this Foundation Establishment opportunity that was close at hand, and his face was full of disappointment.

"Seventh Uncle, I want to go out and travel for a period of time, I hope you can allow it?"

Hearing Song Xinhe say this as soon as he entered the door, a trace of surprise also appeared on Song Qingming's face. He paused before saying: "Wanting to go out and travel, is this an idea you had long ago?"

"When I came back from the Gao family, you also taught us to go out and see the world more, Seventh Uncle. I had this idea since then. It's just that Eldest Uncle didn't allow it, he was also afraid that I would encounter any danger outside."

"If this is an idea you had long ago, then I will allow it for him. It is good to go out and experience. However, don't delay your own cultivation when you go out. No matter if there is a Foundation Establishment Pill or not, you must never give up your path easily.

In this cultivation world, those who succeed in Foundation Establishment are not all relying on the Foundation Establishment Pill. When I was traveling outside, I once met a fellow Daoist who established foundation without taking the Foundation Establishment Pill. So many years have passed, and her cultivation is estimated to be even higher than mine now."

Song Xinhe nodded and said: "Seventh Uncle, rest assured, nephew has remembered it. Tomorrow I plan to go down the mountain to go home first, and then leave Qinghe County directly. I also ask you to inform Eldest Uncle about it."

"Good! A poor family has a rich road, don't wrong yourself when you go out. You take these spirit stones, and these spirit talismans, they are all I draw on weekdays, you take them all.

When you are outside, be more careful, don't trust others easily. There are many treacherous and cunning people in the cultivation world. Remember, don't reveal your wealth." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out a bag of spirit stones and more than a dozen spirit talismans of varying quality and handed them to Song Xinhe.

"Thank you, Seventh Uncle, nephew understands!"

After personally sending Song Xinhe out of the cave dwelling, Song Qingming, standing on the mountaintop, looked at his determined back as he went away and nodded with some relief, as if he saw the appearance of himself when he decided to go down the mountain to experience.

Just when Song Qingming was seeing off Song Xinhe, at another place on the top of Mount Funiu, Song Qingyu looked at He Mengxin, who had just come out of seclusion, walked up happily, and grabbed her jade hand.

"Congratulations to He sister for successfully breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage. Sister's cultivation progress is so rapid now, maybe there is hope for Golden Core in the future!"

He Mengxin shook her head at Song Qingyu and said modestly with a smile: "You girl, you dare to say anything. The Golden Core Great Dao is not so easy. It's better for you to praise your brother first than to praise me now."
