It was just that Xu Ziyan had sent several Flying Cloud Guards to painstakingly search for Feng Laogui's descendants in Guiyun Market for several months, but they could not find any news. Song Qingming, Jia Sixing, and others in the eleven-man guard who were familiar with Feng Laogui were familiar with the old guy himself, but no one knew the specific situation of his relatives and descendants. Xu Ziyan finally had to report this matter truthfully. She also only learned not long ago that Feng Laogui's storage bag had already arrived at the Merit Pavilion of Guiyun Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is indeed the case. As long as Captain Xu is willing to help me exchange for this item, I will owe you a favor. No matter how many merits you spent, I can pay you spirit stones at a premium of 10% when the time comes. I hope Captain Xu can fulfill my wish. Qingming will be deeply grateful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ziyan nodded gently and then said softly: \"We have had a few years of friendship. If I can help you, Fellow Daoist, I will naturally not refuse. It's just that you also know that spiritual items in the Merit Pavilion need to be exchanged with one's own merits. Although I have saved some merits over the years, I don't know if it's enough to exchange for this spiritual item. I can only say I will do my best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is natural. If I cannot successfully exchange for this puppet beast this time, I can only say that I have no fate with this item. If I have the opportunity, I will go to the Mount Bai Long market to see.\" Song Qingming said with a calm face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Xu Ziyan agreed to help very readily, Song Qingming also set aside a worry in his heart. With her help, the chances of success in this matter would also be greatly increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he saw the power of Feng Laogui's Thunder Tiger puppet beast, Song Qingming had been coveting it. Now that he happened to have an opportunity to obtain this item, he was naturally very concerned about this matter and did not hesitate to lower his face to ask Xu Ziyan for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The value of this puppet beast on the market was equivalent to a high-grade magic treasure. However, such rare spiritual items were generally quite popular once they appeared. Song Qingming had to ask Xu Ziyan for help to obtain it this time, not only spending more than ten spirit stones but also owing her a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Song Qingming did not hesitate at all. As soon as he heard the news about the Thunder Tiger puppet beast, he didn't think much about it and rushed to Xu Ziyan's place immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, as Song Qingming thought, the Thunder Tiger puppet beast had just appeared in the Merit Pavilion and soon attracted the attention of many people. Some mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators who were relatively wealthy, after learning this news, began to run around asking people to help them go to the Merit Pavilion to exchange for this item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-grade puppet beasts were not of much help to late-stage Qi Refining cultivators. Generally, late-stage Qi Refining cultivators would certainly not spend spirit stones to purchase this item. As for those mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, it was not easy for them to obtain merits, and it was very difficult for them to come up with so many merits to exchange for this item at once. They could only, like Song Qingming, spend more spirit stones to entrust those late-stage Qi Refining cultivators who had enough merits to help them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that what they didn't expect was that after finally finding someone willing to help, they arrived at the Merit Pavilion only to find that the Thunder Tiger puppet beast had already been exchanged by someone else, and they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a day later, in the Flying Cloud Guard station, looking at the three-inch-tall white tiger puppet in his hand, Song Qingming happily handed a bag of spirit stones to Xu Ziyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Captain Xu, for your help. In the future, if there is anything you need, as long as it is within my power, I will definitely do my best to help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Ziyan nodded and smiled, took the spirit stones and put them into her storage bag, and soon said goodbye and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xu Ziyan left, Song Qingming returned to the room where he lived, took out the Thunder Tiger puppet beast, and began to study it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obtaining this puppet beast this time was also a coincidence. If the old man who looked after the Merit Pavilion hadn't mentioned it to him, Song Qingming would naturally have found it very difficult to know the news of the Thunder Tiger puppet beast in advance, and thus would not have been able to ask Xu Ziyan to help him exchange for this item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Ziyan arrived at the Merit Pavilion, this item had just been placed on the third floor of the Merit Pavilion for less than a day, and not many people knew about the existence of this puppet beast. Seeing that this Thunder Tiger puppet beast only needed one hundred and eleven merits, Xu Ziyan decisively took action to help Song Qingming exchange for this item. Afterward, Song Qingming also gave Xu Ziyan ten spirit stones as her hard work fee according to the agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After obtaining this Thunder Tiger puppet beast, Song Qingming began to hide in his room to study and refine it. It was not until three days later that he walked out of his room with a face full of smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took Song Qingming three consecutive days to successfully refine this Thunder Tiger puppet beast. In order to test how much power he could exert after refining it himself, and to avoid attracting the attention of others, Song Qingming specifically went out of Guiyun Market and found a quiet place around the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After loading the puppet beast with spirit stones, Song Qingming cast a spiritual light and released the Thunder Tiger puppet beast in his hand. After the puppet beast reached the sky, it instantly turned into a white tiger one zhang in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual light flashed in the eyes of the white tiger puppet, and it opened its big mouth to spray a streak of thunder light at a big tree more than ten zhang away. The thunder light flashed quickly and instantly hit the big tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a loud noise was heard, and a big tree that was difficult for two people to embrace creaked and fell to one side. With a loud rumble, it shook up a burst of dust on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the power of the thunder technique emitted by the Thunder Tiger puppet beast, it was almost the same as when he saw Feng Laogui operating it that day. Song Qingming was satisfied and put away the puppet beast on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this Thunder Tiger puppet beast is operated properly by a cultivator, it is equivalent to having an extra helper at the ordinary fifth level of Qi Refining. With the help of this puppet beast, his combat ability is now almost the same as Feng Laogui's back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Song Qingming basically does not worry about not being able to fight against demonic cultivators or demonic beasts of the same rank. Even when facing those high-grade demonic beasts in the late stage of Qi Refining, even if he still cannot beat them, he does not need to worry too much about the problem of escaping. With the help of this item, his combat ability has instantly improved by a large margin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, puppet beasts also have some inherent defects. The core of the puppet beast needs to be driven by spirit stones. Although his Thunder Tiger puppet beast is not of a high grade, it needs to consume one spirit stone to use it for an hour. It is best not to take this thing out for use on weekdays; otherwise, using it too much can easily make the cultivator himself poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, continuously using puppet beasts also consumes one's own spiritual sense. For someone like Song Qingming who has not practiced special spiritual sense techniques, once he uses the puppet beast for a long time, it is easy to excessively consume his spiritual sense and energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the spiritual sense is excessively consumed, the cultivator will slowly fall into a coma, which is very easy to make himself an unjustly dead cultivator when fighting against enemies on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is a pity that cultivation techniques that can improve a cultivator's spiritual sense are very rare in the immortal cultivation world. The Song family's two hundred years of accumulation did not collect such techniques. Even in the Merit Pavilion of Guiyun Market, which has many cultivation classics, Song Qingming could not find similar items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Song Qingming does not need to worry too much about this matter now. As long as he pays attention not to excessively use the puppet beast in future battles, he can avoid this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spending more than one hundred spirit stones to obtain this Thunder Tiger puppet beast can be considered Song Qingming's biggest gain in Guiyun Market over the past two years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next half a month, Song Qingming stayed in the room at the station, familiarizing himself with using the puppet beast, and basically did not go out much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one day before their eleven-man guard was about to set out for a mission again, Captain Xu Ziyan unexpectedly came to Song Qingming's place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter) ===== CHAPTER 68 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1651,"2026-06-14T03:09:34.521Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a6763007df4f0da3c67220e1c4019e46f920a06be200c8e191b670b4d6db1d9d","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-68","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-66",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
