Chapter 122 Huiyan Dan
The spiritual vein that has just been cultivated is only of the first-grade lower grade. It takes two or three years to invest hundreds of spiritual stones to upgrade this spiritual vein to the first-grade middle grade. At that time, the spiritual energy in the spiritual vein will gradually stabilize. With the spiritual vein, a mountain protection formation can be arranged. With the care of the monks, this place will soon become the second Mujiao Town.
Such a large mortal village can survive at least 20,000 mortals. After Mugu Town was established, Song Changling moved some of the mortals in Mujiao Town and several surrounding villages with poor conditions here. The fourth brother Song Qingrui served as the first garrison here.
Song Qingrui has been recovering from his injuries in Longteng Mountain for nearly half a year. Although he has not fully recovered, he is almost well. Seeing that the fifth aunt is looking for a garrison monk in Mugu Town, he took the initiative to ask the clan to take on this task.
Because of the loss of an arm, his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. The fourth brother Song Qingrui also knew that it would be difficult for him to stay in the family monster hunting team. Although it was a little difficult for him to accept, there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, he was a cheerful person. After a few months of recuperation, Song Qingrui gradually accepted this fact.
For a cultivator like him whose future was not bright, it was a good choice to return to the mortal villages and towns early, marry and have children, and accompany his family instead of staying in the mountains and being excluded in the future. After the family announced the establishment of Mugu Town, Song Qingrui quickly took on this task and served as a guarding cultivator in Mugu Town.
After Song Qingrui went down the mountain, Song Qingming and his eldest brother Song Qingshi, who had the best relationship with him, often ran down the mountain to find him to drink under the moon when they had nothing to do at night.
What they didn't expect was that after their fourth brother Song Qingrui married several wives and concubines, they gradually lost their place in his heart. He often left them aside to accompany his wife. In the end, he simply hinted that they should not come too often in the future, lest the family be disturbed. This also made him and his eldest brother depressed.
More than half a year passed in a flash. One day, the clan leader Song Changfeng received a message from his second sister Song Qingwan in Qinghefang that the top-grade formation they customized had been refined, and asked him to go to Qinghefang to retrieve the formation.
Song Qingming had just returned to the cave, and before he could pack up his things, Song Qingyu, who looked eccentric, suddenly came to him.
"Seventh brother, I heard you were going to Qinghefang, so I came to see you off."
"Send me off? I'll be back in five or six days at most. What's so good about sending me off? Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Hearing what Song Qingyu said, Song Qingming was also confused. It was only a two-day walk from Funiushan to Qinghefang. He went there at least seven or eight times a year. He had never seen her come to see him off before.
Song Qingyu blinked her big eyes and said unhappily: "I came to see you off with good intentions, but you still have to ask so many questions. I just want to see you off. Do I need so many reasons?"
"That's good. You've grown up and know how to feel sorry for us brothers."
Song Qingming smiled and nodded to her. He didn't say anything else. After packing up his things, he walked out of the cave. Song Qingyu followed him immediately with a happy face. Along the way, he began to talk to Song Qingming about various interesting things that happened recently on the mountain.
After reaching the foot of the mountain, Song Qingming asked her to send him here and return to the mountain quickly so that the clan leader and his men could not find him. Unexpectedly, the girl was not happy again and insisted on sending Song Qingming for another trip.
As a result, they were sent to Qinghefang.
As soon as they arrived at the market, Song Qingyu quickly pushed Song Qingming aside and strolled around the market with excitement.
Song Qingming looked at this clever little girl and shook his head helplessly. It was not her first time to come to Qinghefang, and the market was still relatively safe. After instructing her to meet up at the family store at night, he let her go.
Compared with the monster beast riot, Qinghefang obviously has fewer people. Although it is much safer than the several markets in the north, it has also been attacked by monster beasts. When Song Qingming just arrived at the city gate, he saw some city walls that were damaged by monster beasts and had not been repaired yet.
Although the fighting in Qinghe County was not as brutal as that in Huoyun Mountain, it also lost a lot of manpower. Many monsters in Yunwu Mountain rushed past Liangshan Lingshi Mine and went deep into Qinghe County. Qinghefang, which was closest to Yunwu Mountain, was also attacked by monsters on a large scale. Fortunately, there were still many monks guarding in the market at that time. With the help of the guards of Liangshan Lingshi Mine, everyone fought back these monsters, and Qinghefang did not suffer much loss.
After arriving at the Song Family Grocery Store, Song Qingming found that the business here seemed to be better than when he was there. He didn't expect that his second sister Song Qingwan was so good at business, and she was much better than him in this aspect.
"Xiaoqi, you, the elder, are finally here. Have you brought all the alchemy materials I want?" The second sister Song Qingwan, who was dressed in red, smiled and said to Song Qingming after seeing him.
Song Qingming took out a storage bag given to him by the clan leader and handed it to Song Qingwan. Before he could speak, Song Qingwan turned around and walked towards the back hall with the storage bag.
"Second sister, where is the formation I want?"
"Go to the back to find Fourth Uncle. I'll go make the elixir first!"
It seems that the second sister is also obsessed with alchemy now. Song Qingming realized that most of the customers who came to the shop seemed to be coming for the elixirs made by the second sister.
When he arrived at the fourth uncle's house in the backyard, he found that he and the fourth aunt were both there. Wang Cheng had made great progress in the past few years. He married the fourth uncle's daughter a few years ago and was considered half a member of the Song family. The fourth uncle also trusted him more and more. The affairs of the other shop were basically handled by the young couple.
Seeing Song Qingming, the elder of the family, coming, the fourth aunt was also very happy. She quickly called a few servants to buy some wine and food. Wang Changhua personally cooked some of his favorite spiritual food for Song Qingming.
"Fourth aunt, I didn't pay attention when I first came. I didn't expect that you are getting younger and younger after not seeing you for a few years. Have you practiced any special skills?"
After drinking a few glasses of spiritual wine, Song Qingming unexpectedly found that Wang Changhua seemed to be more beautiful than the previous two years. After a closer look, he found that her face seemed to have returned to her youth.
"Your fourth uncle is not willing to buy me any good skills. Qing Wan refined a kind of Huiyan Pill not long ago. I also asked her for a few pills to try. I didn't expect the effect to be quite good." Wang Changhua glared at Song Changqiu and then happily explained to Song Qingming.
"Huiyan Pill, I have heard of this kind of pill, but the effect should not be so good." Song Qingming asked with some confusion.
Wang Changhua smiled and explained: "Of course, the ordinary Huiyan Pill on the market is not so effective. This is an improved ancient pill recipe that Qing Wan received. The effect is indeed much better than the one I took before. Recently, this kind of elixir in our family has sold very well in the market. If it weren't for Qing Wan, the alchemist, supporting the family store, your fourth uncle would have lost money long ago."
Song Qingming then recalled that when he was in the store lobby just now, the customers in the store were indeed basically female cultivators, but he didn't think that it was because of Huiyan Pill that his second sister had a good talent for alchemy and could refine the pills on the ancient pill recipe.
"Qing Wan is wasting her talent. What's the point of refining this kind of elixir that can neither improve cultivation nor heal injuries? After taking it, she will add a lot of elixir poison to herself. This kind of elixir that is useless for cultivation can only sell well for a while. If you really care so much about your appearance, why do you still want to cultivate immortality?" After seeing that his wife has been complaining about him, the good-tempered fourth uncle couldn't help but reply to her.
"Fourth uncle, how is Wang Cheng recently? Has this kid given you a grandson?" Seeing that the two elders seemed to be arguing again, Song Qingming quickly changed the subject.
However, he was a little interested in this elixir, "Hui Yan Dan, maybe it's really a good thing!"
