Chapter 432: Couldn't Ask for More

Although every time Song Qingming came to Fire Phoenix over the years, the things he brought might not be particularly precious spiritual items in human markets, they were not so easy to obtain in their monster clan.

Relatively speaking, many rare high-grade spiritual medicines and those precious spiritual items that are not difficult to find in the monster clan territory are also very rare in human markets, and even if you have spirit stones, it is difficult to buy them. Both sides can be considered to get what they need!

Since coming out of seclusion with Fire Phoenix, every time Song Qingming came here over the years, he could use the spiritual items he brought to exchange for some rare spirit herbs from Fire Phoenix. Last time, he even used a few jars of second-tier spirit wine collected from the market to exchange for a third-tier spiritual medicine in her hands.

Seeing that Song Qingming's mind had finally turned in the direction he wanted, a smug, crafty smile finally appeared on Huo Feng's face. He waved his hand slightly at Song Qingming and said:

"You should know what I want. Since you don't have it on you now, just keep it in mind. But don't forget it when you see me next time. Otherwise, I won't let you off easily then."

After Fire Phoenix finished speaking, her somewhat playful eyes suddenly became sharp. After sweeping a glance at Song Qingming, she turned and left here.

The next day, Dragon Wind indeed sent Song Qingming another bottle of thousand-year spirit milk and specifically told him that they only had this one bottle left here now. If he wanted this thing again in the future, Song Qingming would have to find a way himself.

The reason why Song Qingming needed this thing was actually to prepare for his Core Formation. When a cultivator is in Core Formation, besides needing a place with abundant spiritual energy, it is best to prepare some spiritual items that can quickly replenish his own magic power to prevent the excessive consumption of his own magic power after the breakthrough is successful, so that he cannot stabilize his realm.

When Song Qingming broke through his cultivation in the Qi Refining stage or Foundation Establishment stage before, he directly prepared some low-grade or middle-grade spirit stones to replenish his magic power. But now that he has reached the breakthrough of the Core Formation realm, the middle-grade spirit stones on Song Qingming's body are a bit insufficient.

To break through the Core Formation realm, it is generally best to prepare a high-grade spirit stone to replenish magic power to ensure nothing goes wrong. However, this high-grade spirit stone is worth a lot and is almost equivalent to the price of a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Moreover, high-grade spirit stones are very rare in the immortal cultivation world and are basically held by high-grade cultivators. Song Qingming has practiced for more than a hundred years and has only been lucky enough to obtain one. At that time, relying on this spirit stone, Song Qingming successfully exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill from the disciple of Chen Ancestor at White Dragon Mountain, and finally supported Song Qingyu's successful Foundation Establishment.

This kind of thing that can exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill is naturally not something that can be found in ordinary places. Although Song Qingming has been asking about the news of high-grade spirit stones over the years, he has always gained nothing. Now he can only settle for the next best thing and choose thousand-year spirit milk to replace high-grade spirit stones.

Originally, when he did things for Fire Phoenix back then, she gave Song Qingming two bottles of thousand-year spirit milk, but now that so many years have passed, these two bottles of thousand-year spirit milk have been almost consumed by Song Qingming.

Although he still has a little bit of thousand-year spirit milk left on him, Song Qingming is worried that it will not be enough. After thinking about it, he chose to open his mouth to Fire Phoenix. Fortunately, Fire Phoenix did not disappoint him here and really sent him a bottle.

After preparing this last spiritual item, Song Qingming simply set up a spirit-gathering formation at the entrance of the cave dwelling where he was in seclusion, and then began his seclusion for Core Formation.

This time in Core Formation, Song Qingming was very well prepared. Not only did he prepare a suitable spiritual place to break through the Core Formation realm, but he also took the Red-Green Fruit in advance to improve and strengthen the dantian in his body.

Plus the Jade Dust Pill he had already prepared and the Hidden Origin Technique he had practiced for many years in his own technique, although this was Song Qingming's first time in seclusion for Core Formation, he already had about 30% confidence in his heart that he could succeed.

Although this 30% confidence of success does not look high, compared to other Foundation Establishment cultivators who try Core Formation in the immortal cultivation world, Song Qingming's 30% confidence can already be considered very high. This probability of success in Core Formation has already exceeded that of more than 70% of cultivators.

Just over ten days after Song Qingming went into seclusion for Core Formation, two mysterious black shadows wearing black robes suddenly arrived outside this spirit mountain. Looking at this somewhat inconspicuous spirit mountain, the two black-robed people confirmed the location and began to search actively.

"Master, this place is full of monster beasts. How could there be human cultivators hiding here? Could it be that the direction is wrong?"

"The direction pointed by the Ninth Junior Brother's life talisman is nearby. It shouldn't be wrong. His storage bag is nearby. I have been looking for it in the Wei State for so long without any news. I really didn't expect that the Ninth Junior Brother actually died in the hands of monster beasts."

After the two black-robed people chatted for a few words, they began to search around again. However, before they could find anything, a voice suddenly sounded not far behind them, immediately pulling the attention of the two.

"Two, what are you doing sneaking around here at my Phoenix Cloud Mountain? Could it be that you don't want to live anymore?"

The black-robed person standing in mid-air turned around and looked behind, only to find that the one who spoke just now was a huge gray giant bird. After seeing this scene, the black-robed person behind was immediately terrified and shouted:

"Master, it's a third-tier monster king."

The black-robed person standing in front looked at Dragon Wind beside him, and there was no panic on his face. He slowly said, "Two, have you ever killed a human cultivator like me?"

After the black-robed person finished speaking, the magic power in his hand moved, and a piece of red blood mist suddenly gushed out from his body, turning his surroundings into a piece of red color.

"Fellow Daoist, you ran all the way here to come to the door, is it just to ask this?"

"In the past few years, the human cultivators I have swallowed into my belly are at least seven or eight. As for whether I have eaten him, hehe, then I can't remember."

Hearing Dragon Wind say this, the black-robed person standing in front suddenly turned black and slowly said, "I am not here to avenge him. As long as you two return the things brought by my junior brother to me, my junior brother's matter can be let go. What do you think, everyone?"

"People have long been swallowed by me. What things do you want? Fellow Daoist, you really like to tell jokes."

Seeing that the opponent's Dragon Wind was somewhat unwilling to admit that he had taken his junior brother's things, the black-robed person viciously took out a black flying sword more than three feet long, pointed at the opposite Dragon Wind, and opened his mouth again:

"Since Fellow Daoist has such a bad memory, then let me help you think about it now, how about it?"

"Hmph! Couldn't ask for more."

As soon as Dragon Wind finished speaking, he launched an attack. Only to see him flash and suddenly arrive in mid-air, with electric light flashing around him, and his wings swept fiercely toward the location of the black-robed person, fanning out several very fierce thunder lights at once.
