Chapter 153 Four Years Later
Time flies, and four years have passed in a flash.
In a shop called Jinbaotang in Qinghefang, an old man and a young man were arguing with the innkeeper, and there were many monks watching the fun around the inn.
"You are talking nonsense. We just took out a second-level robe, and what you are giving us now is the same one as before." The speaker was a young woman in green clothes, who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and she was holding a first-level purple robe in her hand.
The shopkeeper of the Jinbaotang store, who was confronting them, was already a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining. Seeing that the woman was not giving in, he shouted impatiently: "You poor casual cultivators, you really don't know what's good for you. The two of you are not worth a hundred spiritual stones, and you dare to say that you can take out a second-level spiritual object. Who would believe this? If you don't want to sell it, I'll give it back to you. You want to extort two hundred spiritual stones from me for just this broken robe. You dare to swat a fly on a tiger's head. Why don't you go out and ask about the reputation of my Gao family in Qinghefang."
The old man standing next to the green-shirted woman pulled her clothes with some sadness and whispered: "Hongyu, forget it! This is their territory. We are weak and cannot fight them even if we are right. It's just that we were too careless and fell into their trap."
Hearing the old man's words, the shopkeeper of Jinbaotang looked a little unhappy, but he didn't continue to speak. He just hoped that the two people would leave quickly.
"No, this robe is passed down from our ancestors. We can't let this group of people get it for nothing. I'm going to the Market Law Enforcement Team to sue them." The green-shirted woman said, angrily throwing the robe in her hand at the shopkeeper of the Gao family, and hurried out.
"Don't go, Hongyu, Hongyu. Alas." Seeing that the woman didn't look back, the old man could only sigh and carefully picked up the purple robe that fell on the ground and chased after her.
The waiter saw that the woman really dared to go to the Market Law Enforcement Team, and he was a little panicked. He quickly called a waiter and said, "Go out from the back door and go directly to Captain Hu. He is on duty today."
In a cave with rich spiritual energy in Qinghefang, Song Qingming was meditating and practicing.
He was seen to be wrapped in a layer of emerald green spiritual light that appeared and disappeared all over his body. This layer of green light sometimes took shape and sometimes sank into his body.
After a long time, the green spiritual light on Song Qingming's body suddenly gathered in his palm and turned into an invisible color. As Song Qingming gently raised his right hand, a sound like a rain of arrows falling suddenly came from the stone wall in front of the cave, and then a cloud of dust spread in front of the cave.
Song Qingming opened his eyes, raised his hand and waved it to release a breeze to clear the dust in front of him. Seeing that a dozen dense holes suddenly appeared on the stone wall, he smiled with satisfaction and put away his magic power.
During the four years of stationing in Qinghefang, Song Qingming finally successfully used the two spells of Xuanguanjia and Yuguangzhen in Yuxuan Sutra. Now he has these two spells, plus a few second-level spiritual objects in his hand, and finally ended the embarrassment when he just built his foundation, and has the strength that a foundation-building cultivator should have.
After finishing the practice, Song Qingming, who had nothing to do, took out a few talisman-making tools and started drawing talismans on a daily basis.
In recent years, his talisman making skills have surpassed Fifth Aunt Song Changling, and he has become the person with the highest level of talisman making skills in the Song family. Although he has not yet advanced to become a second-level talisman maker, he is not far away. There are too few second-level spiritual objects in Qinghefang. If Song Qingming wants to make a second-level talisman, he can only go to other large-scale markets to purchase materials. This is not very convenient for him to be stationed in Qinghefang, so he has never tried to make a second-level talisman.
In addition to talisman making, his formation level has also been improved to the first-level upper grade. He has become a famous formation master in Qinghefang, and has helped several Qi refining families without upper-grade formation masters to refine the mountain protection formation used in Mugu Town.
Now the first-level talismans he makes are not only large in quantity, but also have no rivals in quality in the entire Qinghefang. In these years, he has also earned a lot of spiritual stones, which has gradually filled up his empty storage bag.
After a while, Song Qingming, who was concentrating on drawing a top-grade talisman in the cave, was suddenly interrupted by a voice transmission. After sighing helplessly, he put away the talisman-making props on the table, stood up and walked out of his cave.
"Xinhu, what does Uncle Thirteen want to see me about?" Looking at Song Xinhu who came in, Song Qingming asked with a friendly face.
"Report to the Supreme Elder, someone from the law enforcement team just came to complain, saying that it was related to the Jinbao Hall of the Gao family. Uncle Thirteen didn't know how to deal with it, so I came to you to see it."
After Song Xinhu had been training in places like Qinghefang for a few years, he had changed a little from when he just came down the mountain. He no longer looked dull all the time.
Although Song Xinhu was a little introverted, he was indeed very hardworking in cultivation. Not long ago, he had successfully broken through the fifth level of Qi Refining, which had exceeded Song Qingming's training speed in those days.
This is also because he has been following Song Qingming in Qinghefang for the past few years. Not only has he almost never lacked cultivation resources, but there is also a foundation-building cultivator who gives him guidance from time to time. If he still cultivates slowly, it can only be said that his cultivation talent is too poor.
Over the years, Song Qingming has always remembered the kindness of the great elder to him. As long as he can take care of the descendants of the great elder Song Xinhu, he will not be stingy with the spiritual objects.
"Then let's go. I haven't been out for a long time." Song Qingming smiled and nodded, and took the lead to walk towards the law enforcement team. Song Xinhu also hurriedly followed him.
Hearing that the matter was related to the Gao family, Song Qingming also knew that it would be difficult to deal with Song Changxiong. Although his term of garrison will soon end, it is not good for the reputation of the Fangshi Law Enforcement Team if someone comes to complain and drags it out. If Lu Yuanfeng comes out of retreat early and knows about this, it may greatly reduce his impression of himself.
After arriving at the law enforcement team, Song Qingming was furious after listening to Song Changxiong's story.
The Gao family has become famous in Qinghefang in recent years because Gao Jinhe broke through the late stage of foundation building, and the Qi-refining cultivators under them have also become more arrogant. In the past few years that Song Qingming has been stationed in Qinghefang, it is not the first time that he has heard that their store has forcibly cheated the weak and scattered cultivators in the market.
Previously, most of them occasionally tampered with low-level spiritual objects, but they dared to do so even with second-level spiritual objects now. It was indeed a bit too much. Song Qingming thought to himself: "It seems that we have to give them a warning this time."
Song Qingming gave a few instructions without making a sound, and sat in the lobby of the law enforcement hall.
Everyone should rest early
