Chapter 442
An incense stick later, a green sword light arrived outside Mount Funiu and quickly landed on a peak.
Before long, Song Qingming's figure appeared outside the council hall on the mountain. After putting away the flying sword in front of him, he looked at Fu Sanshan, who was still standing blankly on the side, somewhat at a loss. Song Qingming coughed lightly and said: "Didn't you still want to sell a spirit wine secret recipe? Come in with me and talk about it inside!"
After Fu Sanshan was stunned for a moment, he immediately shook his head, then quickly took out a somewhat yellowed white paper from his storage bag, respectfully presented it to Song Qingming, and said with a panicked face: "The junior does not dare. Senior, if you like this spirit wine recipe, just take it. Consider it the junior's filial piety to you!"
"Why, in your eyes, are the cultivators of my Song family all people who take things by force?" After Song Qingming finished speaking, he did not take the item in Fu Sanshan's hand and walked directly toward the council hall.
Seeing Song Qingming's expression change as if he were somewhat unhappy, Fu Sanshan could only awkwardly put away the recipe in his hand and followed numbly behind Song Qingming.
A moment later, Song Qingming, sitting at the head of the council hall, picked up the spirit wine recipe in Fu Sanshan's hand and looked at it, then raised his head to look at Fu Sanshan, who was standing on the side, and said: "Where did you get this recipe? Can you tell me first?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Sanshan immediately bowed and cupped his hands: "Reporting to Senior, this recipe was actually figured out by the junior himself.
When I entered the Dao, I once worshipped a master at the Jinshan Market. He was quite fond of wine, and because he often did not have enough spirit stones to buy spirit wine in the market, he began to study the craft of brewing wine himself. My master was very obsessed with this and had some talent. In the end, the spirit wine he brewed was no worse in taste than those in the market.
It is a pity that after my master went out once, he never returned. I don't know where he went. Later, after the junior left Jinshan Market and came to Qinghe County, in order to earn more spirit stones for cultivation, I began to study the craft of brewing wine based on some recipes my master left behind.
The spirit wine recipe in your hand, Senior, is what the junior researched after adding some spirit fruits to my master's previous recipes and improving it. I have some brewed here; Senior can also taste it first."
After Fu Sanshan finished speaking, he took out a black wine jar about a foot high from his storage bag, opened the jar, poured a bowl of spirit wine, and carefully placed it in front of Song Qingming.
At first, seeing the wine jar Fu Sanshan took out, which was still a bit dirty, Song Qingming already had some disgust on his face. He did not expect that after the wine jar was opened, a very unique and fragrant smell instantly rushed into Song Qingming's nostrils, making him immediately turn his attention back.
After Song Qingming tasted a sip of the spirit wine, he found that although the spirit wine was very fragrant, the taste of the spirit wine itself and the spiritual power contained within it were not much better than those ordinary low-grade spirit wines in the market, and he felt a bit disappointed in his heart.
At the time when he met Fu Sanshan, the reason Song Qingming chose to save him, besides the fact that the place was Song family territory, was also because of the spirit wine recipe in Fu Sanshan's hand.
Over the years, because he often had to go to Huofeng, Song Qingming had become more and more interested in things like spirit wine. When he heard Fu Sanshan say he wanted to sell a spirit wine recipe, Song Qingming had actually already made up his mind to bring him to Mount Funiu.
Every time he went to the Fuyun Mountain Range, Song Qingming had to bring some spirit wine to deal with Huofeng and the others. However, because of time, Huofeng and the others had become more and more picky, and Song Qingming could not even bring out those ordinary low-grade spirit wines from the market now.
Now, every time he wanted to find Huofeng, Song Qingming had to go to large markets like Yangshan Market or Guiyun Market in advance to look for those high-grade spirit wines, which was indeed somewhat troublesome.
"Fellow Daoist Fu, this recipe of yours does not seem very perfect. Can it be improved further now?"
Hearing Song Qingming say this, Fu Sanshan, who had still had a look of joy, saw his expression suddenly become somewhat ugly.
"Senior's vision is truly sharp. This recipe indeed still has some flaws, but it is already better than those low-grade spirit wines in the market.
Senior, you also know that to study the craft of brewing, one needs to invest a lot of materials. The junior is currently short of money, which is why I thought of selling this recipe. If Senior is willing to buy this recipe now, the junior is willing to swear by the Dao heart that I will definitely send the new recipe to you after it is improved in the future."
Hearing Fu Sanshan's answer, Song Qingming smiled and nodded, pondered slightly for a moment, and said: "Fellow Daoist Fu, I do have an idea in my heart. Why don't you listen to it first?"
"Please enlighten me, Senior!"
Song Qingming paused and said slowly: "The Song family can buy this recipe of yours, but I have one condition. You must stay in the Song family first and start helping us improve this recipe immediately. As for what spiritual items are needed to improve the recipe, you tell me, and I will arrange for someone to provide them to you directly. Do you think this is okay?"
"This... Senior means that before this recipe is perfected, I must stay here to help the Song family research and improve the craft of brewing."
Song Qingming nodded and said: "That's right. You can go outside and consider it. If you are willing, you can stay. If you are not willing, it doesn't matter. I will arrange for someone to send you down the mountain in a while." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he called a Song family cultivator who was on duty outside the council hall to take him out first.
After Fu Sanshan pondered for a long time outside the council hall, he finally decided to stay at Mount Funiu. For this, Song Qingming also very generously spent six hundred spirit stones to buy his current recipe first, which truly made him happy for a while.
After Song Qingming brought Fu Sanshan back to Mount Funiu, Song Qingyu soon learned of this news, and not long after, she came to the council hall with several Song family elders.
Seeing that Song Qingming had actually brought a strange cultivator to the family council hall this time, everyone in the Song family also felt somewhat strange. It was not until Song Qingming slowly explained to everyone what had happened when he met Fu Sanshan not long ago that everyone finally understood.
Hearing that Song Qingming had saved Fu Sanshan from the Zhao family, Song Qingyu said with hatred: "The people of the Zhao family of Mount Youlong are truly too bold, daring to come to my Song family's territory to cause trouble. Tomorrow I will send a letter to Huang Sipo to teach them a lesson first!"
Song Qingming smiled and shook his head: "The Zhao family is, after all, a vassal of the Huang family. Since they didn't want to blow things out of proportion, let's just let it go this time!"
Seeing that Song Qingming did not want to pursue it further, Song Qingyu did not say anything more and asked Song Qingming how to settle Fu Sanshan.
"Qingsi! I have already discussed this spirit wine recipe with Fellow Daoist Fu. You immediately arrange for a few suitable cultivators to learn this brewing technique from him. Do not be in a hurry to sell the new spirit wine once it is brewed. Wait until the quality is stable before slowly putting it into the market.
The most important thing next is to urge Fu Sanshan to perfect this recipe as soon as possible. Whatever can satisfy him, try to satisfy him."
"Clan Leader, rest assured, I will arrange it in a while!" Seeing that Song Qingming seemed to attach great importance to Fu Sanshan and this spirit wine recipe, Song Qingsi nodded quickly and agreed to this matter.
After talking about Fu Sanshan's matter, Song Qingming looked at everyone and said again: "Since everyone happened to be here today, there is another matter that is very important to the family that needs to be discussed with everyone.
This time I went to the Carefree Sect and, with the help of Xinyu, exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill. I intend to give this Foundation Establishment Pill to Yuanli. If you have any opinions, you can say them now."
Hearing Song Qingming say that he had obtained another Foundation Establishment Pill, everyone in the Song family present showed joy on their faces.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Song Qingsi, who had already served as the family's general affairs elder, took the lead and said:
"Although there is more than one person in the clan suitable for Foundation Establishment, he is a dual-spirit root cultivator, and his grasp of Foundation Establishment is much higher than others. It is naturally most appropriate to give this Foundation Establishment Pill to him."
As soon as Song Qingsi finished speaking, Song Qingyu, who was sitting beside Song Qingming, immediately echoed: "Qingsi is right. Although Yuanli is still young and has not made many contributions to the family, among the current ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators in the family, he is the most suitable to take the Foundation Establishment Pill.
This child not only has excellent spirit root talent, but after so many years of cultivation and the training of the Fourth Brother, his temperament has also matured. His grasp of Foundation Establishment should be higher than mine was back then."
After Song Qingyu finished speaking, others also echoed one after another, and no one expressed other opinions. Both Foundation Establishment ancestors of the family had already expressed their stance, and the ownership of this Foundation Establishment Pill had actually been decided long ago.
Seeing that everyone present had no objections, Song Qingming nodded and said: "Since everyone agrees to give the Foundation Establishment Pill to Yuanli, then this matter is settled. Qingyu, you go and notify Yuanli in a while, let him prepare for the Foundation Establishment matter first, and start closed-door cultivation for Foundation Establishment as soon as possible."
After discussing the matter of Song Yuanli's Foundation Establishment with everyone, Song Qingming returned to his cave dwelling and began closed-door meditation.
Some time ago, Song Qingming had been helping Bai Yunhua repair the magic array at the Carefree Sect, wasting a few months without practicing properly. Now that he had finally returned to Mount Funiu, Song Qingming naturally put his mind to his own cultivation very quickly.
Although his cultivation base had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment and there was no way to improve his cultivation base for the time being, daily cultivation could still improve the magic power in a cultivator's body, which was also beneficial for future Core Formation.
However, Song Qingming had only been hiding in his cave dwelling to practice for a few days before he was soon invited out by a sound transmission from Song Qingyu.
After Song Qingming finished his cultivation and walked out of the cave dwelling, he learned that it was Huang Sipo of the Huang family who had taken the initiative to find him and insisted on seeing him in person. Song Qingyu had no choice but to send him a sound transmission.
