Chapter 414

Compared with the huge changes in the succession of the old and new of the Huang family, the Gao family has been about the same as the Song family in recent years, and there have been no major changes.

After Gao Yubai succeeded as the Clan Leader, his cultivation also successfully broke through to the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment a few years ago. The path of this new Gao family leader is indeed smoother than that of the older generation Gao Jinhe. If there are no accidents, Gao Yubai will also have the opportunity to cultivate to the peak of Foundation Establishment and reach the step of Core Formation in the future.

Although the Gao family's overall strength has always been inferior to the Huang family and only has one Foundation Establishment cultivator left, the talent of the recent generations of Foundation Establishment cultivators is very good. Whether it is Gao Jinhe, who dealt with Song Qingming back then, or the previous Clan Leader who disappeared a hundred years ago, they had all cultivated to the late Foundation Establishment stage before passing away.

Moreover, the Gao family also has Gao Yuyao, a backer who has hope of forming a core in the Xiaoyao Sect. If the luck really turns and they wait for Gao Yuyao to succeed in forming a core, then the Gao family will also have the hope of replacing the Huang family and sitting on the throne of the first cultivation family in Qinghe County.

The Lu family has been becoming more and more turbulent in recent years. Lu Xingde is a cultivator of about the same generation as Huang Shengyue. His lifespan is approaching two hundred years, and he has not yet broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage. He is already a cultivator whose potential has been exhausted in this life.

The Clan Leader Lu Xingde's path was not smooth and he was slow to break through his cultivation. In the end, the Lu family had to use the family's foundation and spent a lot of effort to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill from the Xiaoyao Sect. As a result, the Foundation Establishment seed chosen by the Lu family was the same as Song Xintang, and in the end, he also failed to succeed in Foundation Establishment.

Nowadays, the situation of the Lu family is getting worse and worse. The old Clan Leader Lu Xingde does not have much lifespan left, and he has been slow to cultivate new Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even the Lu family cultivators in Qinghe Market are now starting to have a trace of worry on their faces.

For a Foundation Establishment family like the Lu family, which does not have a deep foundation, once there is no Foundation Establishment cultivator sitting in the clan, it is basically a piece of fat in the eyes of surrounding families and other forces, and what awaits them is naturally the family moving towards decline step by step.

On the whole, although there have been some successions of the old and new in Qinghe County in the past ten years, the changes are not very large. Although the Huang family has lost its peak Foundation Establishment Clan Leader Huang Shengxin, the Huang family, which sits on three Foundation Establishment cultivators, is still the first cultivation family in Qinghe County in terms of overall strength.

Although many things have happened in Qinghe County in recent years, what the loose cultivators in Qinghe Market talk about the most is another major event that has shocked the entire northern cultivation world of the State of Wei.

Just three years ago, another Core Formation cultivator was born on Mount Tuoyun, thousands of miles away. This person is Feng Yangde, the fourth disciple of Chen Jinliang.

Compared with the celestial phenomenon caused by Chen Xuanxin of the Xiaoyao Sect back then, there didn't seem to be much movement on Mount Tuoyun this time. There are also rumors that Feng Yangde did not form a core on Mount Tuoyun, but that Chen Jinliang took him to find a place outside to form a core before returning to Mount Tuoyun.

After the battle of Mount Dahei back then, when Song Qingming and Fang Wuqian were chatting, he had heard him mention this matter. Coupled with the rumors that Feng Yangde's core formation this time did not cause much celestial phenomenon, Song Qingming estimated that Feng Yangde's success in forming a core this time was very likely the same as what Fang Wuqian said back then, which was a fake core formed using the inner core of the Black Flame Tiger.

On Mount Tuoyun, Chen Jinliang is so eager to help Feng Yangde form a fake core, it seems that this Core Formation ancestor's lifespan is indeed not much left, and he cannot last until the next beast riot in the northern frontier. The reason why he chose Feng Yangde to refine the fake core is actually a last resort.

Among the several disciples under Chen Ancestor, the one with the most hope of forming a core is actually the eighth disciple Zhang Rong. This person's cultivation talent is not inferior to Chen Ancestor back then. If he is given more time and Chen Ancestor's support, Zhang Rong indeed has a great hope of successfully forming a core.

The third disciple Liang Wenxu's cultivation has also reached the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, but his lifespan is already insufficient, and he is not suitable for refining the monster fake core. The eighth disciple Zhang Rong is a talented cultivator, and under normal circumstances, he would not choose to take the path of a fake core. The remaining one most suitable for refining the monster core is the fourth disciple Feng Yangde, which is also the reason why Fang Wuqian was so sure back then that Feng Yangde would form a core within ten years.

Although Feng Yangde has now stepped into the Core Formation realm, after all, he is just a fake core cultivator who takes the path of a fake core. Compared with Chen Ancestor's strength, it is a world of difference. Whether the Mount Tuoyun cultivators can defend this Spirit Mountain in the future is indeed hard to say.

No matter what fate Mount Tuoyun, thousands of miles away, will face in the future, these are all things that will happen decades later. Nowadays, Song Qingming's most important thing is to find a way to improve his cultivation as soon as possible and strive to advance to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.

Less than two years after the battle of Mount Dahei back then, Chen Jinliang sent his sixth disciple Lin Yutang to send the Yuchen Pill that he had promised to Song Qingming and others to Mount Funiu.

Song Qingming naturally would not doubt the credibility of this Chen Ancestor, but he didn't expect that before he went to get it, the other party would travel thousands of miles to send the spiritual object to Qinghe County in person, which really surprised him.

After obtaining the Yuchen Pill, an elixir that can assist in Core Formation, Song Qingming intensified his cultivation, wanting to strive to impact the Core Formation bottleneck as soon as possible.

Although Song Qingming's lifespan is relatively sufficient now, Core Formation is always better early. Among the more than ten Core Formation cultivators in the entire State of Wei, more than half of them formed a core before the age of 120. Like Chen Xuanxin, who formed a core at nearly two hundred years old, it is indeed very rare.

No matter what, as long as he can impact the Core Formation realm earlier, even if he fails the first time, he will still have a chance to form a core next time. Song Qingming is very clear about this in his heart.

After deciding in his heart, Song Qingming left a message for his eldest brother Song Qingshi, and then left Mount Funiu quietly and alone to the south.

The place he is going to this time is still Yangshan Market. In the entire State of Wei, only there is it relatively easy to buy high-quality elixirs like the Moon-Gazing Pill. Song Qingming has also made up his mind this time that he must find a way to get one, otherwise he will not return to Mount Funiu for the time being.

Just as Song Qingming had just set off, beside a small mountain outside a market thousands of miles to the east, more than a dozen cultivators were surrounding two mysterious cultivators in black robes.

"You two have been sneaking around the market for several days. Today we finally caught you. Tell us who you are and what you are doing hiding here?"

Hearing the middle-aged man who led the dozen people surrounding them threaten, the two black-robed people did not show any fear, but instead let out a few contemptuous laughs.

"What we are doing is not something you need to worry about. As for our identity, hehe! You will know soon."
