Chapter 450
After hearing Song Qingming's firm answer, the green-robed person sighed slightly and did not say anything more, directly throwing the small wooden box he had just taken out to Song Qingming in mid-air.
After taking the jade box, Song Qingming carefully opened it and looked at it, and a smile immediately spread on his face. What was inside was exactly the "Red Essence Jade Stone" that the green-robed person had just shown him.
Song Qingming had never seen this Red Essence Jade Stone with his own eyes, but he had already heard of this item and had seen records of it in some classics about spiritual items for forming a core.
Like the "Golden Yang Fire Essence" that Song Qingming had seen at the Tian Dan Alliance auction a few years ago, the "Red Essence Jade Stone" is generally only born in high-grade earth-attribute mineral veins. The trace of earth vein essence contained within it can help cultivators condense the magic power in their bodies when forming a core.
Although the value of this item is far from being comparable to the third-grade demon beast inner core that the green-robed person took out at the beginning, it is the spiritual item for forming a core that Song Qingming wants most at present. Now with the help of the "Red Essence Jade Stone," the certainty of Song Qingming's next core formation has increased by a few points again in his heart.
Although Song Qingming failed in his last core formation, he is now less than one hundred and twenty years old, and his lifespan is still very sufficient for a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if his hope of forming a core is still not high now, he is not yet in such a hurry that he needs to prepare to take the step of fake core in advance.
Seeing that Song Qingming had already put the "Red Essence Jade Stone" into his storage bag, the green-robed person immediately said:
"Clan Leader Song, since you have already made your choice and the 'Red Essence Jade Stone' has also been handed to you, then I can be considered to have completed the entrustment of my friend and should leave this place. However, before leaving, I still have a few words to remind you."
"Fellow Daoist, please speak!"
"With your aptitude, wanting to achieve the Golden Core Great Dao is indeed not an easy thing. If you really fail to form a core this time, fellow Daoist, don't be too discouraged. In the cultivation world, there is actually no lack of people with ordinary spirit root talent who eventually achieve Golden Core, or even walk to the Nascent Soul step.
My friend does have a lot of things to be busy with now and it is not convenient to see you. Before I came, he also entrusted me to bring a word to you, fellow Daoist: if there is fate in the future, there will be a day to meet!"
Just as the green-robed person turned around and was about to put away his magic treasure to leave this place, Song Qingming suddenly fell from mid-air and stepped forward to bow to him.
"Clan Leader Song, is there anything else?" The green-robed person turned around and asked.
"Dare I ask Fellow Daoist, could this friend you mentioned be yourself?"
A moment later, Huang Siyuan, who was standing outside the white scroll, was just about to prepare to try to launch an attack on this extremely solid scroll again when a white light flashed, and this scroll suddenly turned into white mist and slowly disappeared by itself.
Seeing Song Qingming standing in place safe and sound, Huang Siyuan was overjoyed upon seeing this and hurriedly flew over to ask: "Husband, are you okay? Where is that person just now?"
"I'm fine, that person has already left!" Song Qingming looked at a green-robed figure flying toward the distance and shook his head at Huang Siyuan.
Huang Siyuan saw that the green-robed person had already gone far away, and Song Qingming was still standing in place in a daze, so she said with some confusion: "Husband, what is the background of this person? Why did he deliberately block our way just now."
"I actually don't know the background of this person, but he has no malice. Coming here this time was just to spar with me. He can be considered a friend of mine! Don't worry about him, it's getting late, let's go back first!"
Hearing Song Qingming say this, Huang Siyuan finally let go of her heart and did not pursue the question. The two set off again and returned to Mount Funiu.
After returning to the cave dwelling on the mountaintop, after Huang Siyuan left, Song Qingming took out the "Red Essence Jade Stone" he had obtained not long ago again.
Looking at this spiritual item for forming a core that he had obtained not long ago, Song Qingming still felt that what happened before was somewhat incredible. This spiritual item for forming a core that he had exhausted his efforts to find in the past had actually come into his hands so strangely.
Thinking of Feng He's figure, a smile could not help but appear at the corner of Song Qingming's mouth. Back then, he had dealt with this old guy for so long, and although he had obtained some benefits, it could also be said that Song Qingming had taken huge risks and tied the lives of the entire Song family to exchange for them.
Song Qingming had never thought that after this old guy left, he would fulfill the promise he made casually back then and come back to help him form a core. Meeting this green-robed person today to send the "Red Essence Jade Stone" gave Song Qingming a huge surprise, making him still feel like he was dreaming.
This green-robed person deliberately hid his figure and covered his appearance, and later specially used magic treasures to trap Song Qingming and separate Huang Siyuan. Song Qingming later thought about these behaviors and always felt that they were a bit strange.
Although the green-robed person did not admit that he was Feng He when he left, Song Qingming still felt in his heart that this person's style of doing things was similar to his, and it was highly likely that it was him himself. It was just that the other party refused to admit it, so he could not say much.
Because Feng He had originally possessed someone else's physical body, it was naturally understandable that he was so cautious to come and see Song Qingming this time. Otherwise, once he showed his feet and was discovered to have possessed someone, it would be a very troublesome thing for both Feng He and Song Qingming.
After returning from the Huang family, Song Qingming obtained another relatively leisurely period of time, and the relationship between him and Huang Siyuan also became much closer.
Besides cultivation, the two often played together around Qinghe County, and sometimes they would go to Yangshan Market, Guiyun Market, and other places to participate in auctions and purchase spiritual items. Huang Siyuan gradually learned about some of Song Qingming's experiences of traveling everywhere back then.
Compared to Huang Siyuan, most of Song Qingming's time when he was still in the Qi Refining stage was actually spent earning cultivation resources outside and looking for opportunities to improve his cultivation. He often encountered crises and had several experiences of escaping death.
These unusual experiences also made Song Qingming's heart grow faster than cultivators of the same age, laying a very solid foundation for his cultivation to grow step by step in the future.
Back then, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan became Dao companions because of the result of the Huang family's strength and intention. There was actually no emotional foundation between the two. Added to the fact that Song Qingming was focused on cultivation at that time, he always had a lukewarm attitude toward Huang Siyuan.
Later, because they had been together for a long time, the two slowly got used to each other unconsciously and gradually developed a trace of emotion. As a result, because Huang Siyuan left alone, the relationship between the two came to an abrupt end and could not go further.
Until now, Huang Siyuan had successfully established foundation and returned to Qinghe Market, and Song Qingming and she could dominate their own destiny in this Qinghe County. There was no longer any grudge in the relationship between the two, and they successfully achieved a positive result and came together. For this hard-won good life, both Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan cherished it very much in their hearts.
Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan walked all the way, although the relationship between the two had always been very plain, without any earth-shattering stories, it did indeed witness the most simple love in the world.
When two people are together, more time is often plain, but plain days are often easy to be ignored, and these ignored things are often the most precious memories in life.
Just like this, Song Qingming spent another ten years in these beautiful days.
On this day, Song Qingming, who had been in seclusion for several months, finally took the initiative to walk out of the gate of his cave dwelling.
After arriving at the mountaintop, Song Qingming faced the breeze and looked at the magnificent pavilions and towers on Mount Funiu, revealing a faint smile.
More than ten years ago, after Song Qingming failed to form a core, the magic power he had stored in his body for many years of cultivating the Hidden Origin Technique also failed and disappeared by more than half. Now that ten years have passed, under his own efforts to cultivate, Song Qingming finally cultivated the Hidden Origin Technique to the peak again, and he could also prepare to form a core again next.
"Seventh Brother, you have been in seclusion for several months and finally came out. Why don't you go to find your sister-in-law, but run here alone to see the scenery!"
Looking at Song Qingyu, who suddenly appeared beside him, Song Qingming bypassed the topic and asked with a smile: "No major events happened in the clan recently, right? Is there any useful news from Qinghe Market?"
"There is no major event on the mountain, it's just that Xinde came to find me again last month, still about the matter of expanding the family's weapon refining pavilion. You see if this matter should be allowed or not." When Song Qingyu spoke of this matter, she rubbed her forehead and also felt a bit of a headache.
Ever since the family decided to support Song Xinde in researching weapon refining skills back then, a few years later he indeed lived up to expectations, successfully refined a relatively intact second-grade magic treasure, and successfully advanced to become a second-grade low-tier weapon refiner.
Nowadays, as Song Xinde's weapon refining level became more and more stable, the small weapon refining pavilion of the Song family became more and more difficult to satisfy him. These years, he often ran to the mountaintop to give opinions to several family ancestors, wanting to expand the Song family's weapon refining pavilion.
Song Qingming did not agree to this matter at first, also because according to Song Xinde's budget, expanding the family's weapon refining pavilion required at least two thousand spirit stones. At that time, Song Xinde had just advanced to a second-grade low-tier weapon refiner not long ago, and his weapon refining level was not that stable yet. Rashly investing such a large sum of spirit stones into it, it would be very difficult for the family to see a return in a short time.
As the number of cultivators in the Song family increased these years, the burden on the entire family also increased a lot. Just many places on Mount Funiu needed to spend spirit stones. Song Qingming had always prioritized investing the family's resources in opening up spiritual fields and planting various spiritual items these years.
Compared to the income from weapon refining, which is often not very stable, planting spiritual items and cultivating spiritual herbs is always the most stable source of resource acquisition in the entire cultivation world, and the Song family is no exception.
"Xinde's weapon refining level has also improved a lot these years, and he can barely maintain the cost of weapon refining. You notify Xintong, and after the family's market income arrives this year, allocate a part of the spirit stones to expand the family's weapon refining pavilion."
Seeing that Song Qingyu mentioned this matter again, Song Qingming thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
