Chapter 240 Fire Emblem Sword

"This is Fellow Daoist Song from Funiu Mountain, right? I'm Cao Rongxue. I heard that you came to Jinshanfang to buy a second-level mid-grade magic weapon. I happen to have another magic weapon that has not yet found a master. I wonder if you are interested in coming with me to my Shuiyue Hall to sit down."

Song Qingming looked up at the woman and found that she, who looked unremarkable, was actually a late-stage foundation-building cultivator. He quickly bowed and saluted.

"Fellow Daoist, your kindness is hard to refuse. Song can only bother you for a while!"

Hearing the news that the woman had a second-level mid-grade magic weapon, Song Qingming quickly nodded and agreed, and then followed Cao Rongxue back to the second floor of Shuiyue Hall.

The two exchanged a few polite words, and then Cao Rongxue reluctantly took out a second-level mid-grade flying sword.

"This sword is called the Fire Pattern Sword. It has three spiritual fires on its body. The power it can exert at the same time is almost as powerful as that of an ordinary second-level spiritual talisman. It is very suitable for cultivators like you who are about to break through to the middle stage of foundation building. This sword was personally refined by my third uncle a few years ago. It is a good quality among the second-level middle-grade magic tools. I wonder if you are interested?" Cao Rongxue said, narrowing her eyes and handing the sword to Song Qingming.

Song Qingming took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. He found that as Cao Rongxue said, the quality of this flying sword was quite good among the second-level middle-grade magic tools. It was indeed beyond Song Qingming's expectation that the Cao family could take out this sword.

"Since we are here today, I will not beat around the bush with you. This magic weapon is really to my liking. Please be straightforward with me about how many spirit stones you need."

Cao Rongxue heard this and stopped being polite. He said directly, "Since you are so sincere, I will certainly not hide it. One thousand eight hundred spirit stones, what do you think, Song Daoyou?"

"Okay! Then it's settled."

Seeing that the price offered by Cao Rongxue was still within his acceptable range, Song Qingming did not hesitate too much and directly took out a bag of spirit stones from his storage bag and put it on the table.

Cao Rongxue was also very happy to see that he had made a deal so quickly. After counting the number of spirit stones, he handed the Fire Pattern Sword to Song Qingming.

After the two reached the deal, Song Qingming did not leave immediately. At Cao Rongxue's invitation, the two drank tea and talked for a while until Song Qingming realized that it was getting late, and then he got up and said goodbye.

After this exchange with Cao Rongxue, Song Qingming had a deeper understanding of the Cao family in Pingyang County.

As the largest foundation-building family in Pingyang County, the Cao family is even stronger than the Huang family in Qinghe County. There are now five foundation-building cultivators in the family, and Cao Wanjiang, who is at the top of the foundation-building stage, is in charge. It can be said that the family is firmly the largest family of immortal cultivators in Pingyang County.

However, Cao Wanjiang, who currently has the highest level of cultivation in the Cao family, has little life left. After he dies, it will probably be difficult for the Cao family to keep the title of the first immortal cultivation family in Pingyang County.

Cao Rongxue has just broken through to the seventh level of foundation-building. As the second highest foundation-building cultivator in the Cao family, she will take over Cao Wanjiang's hand and run the Cao family in the future. She took the initiative to come out to receive Song Qingming at this time, and it seems that she also wants to have some good relations with other immortal cultivation families around.

After leaving Jinshanfang, Song Qingming spent two days to return to Funiu Mountain from Jinshanfang.

This trip to Jinshanfang was a success beyond his expectations. He didn't have high expectations, but he unexpectedly bought a second-level mid-grade flying sword that was very suitable for him. It can only be said that his luck seemed to be more favorable to him recently.

This trip was not long, less than five days. Not long after Song Qingming returned to Funiu Mountain, his sixth uncle Song Changfeng suddenly sent someone to invite him to the meeting room.

In recent years, as the health of the clan leader Song Changfeng gradually recovered, he was still in charge of the trivial matters at home. Only when he encountered something big and difficult to decide, would Song Changfeng send someone to invite him.

Upon hearing the news, Song Qingming was also a little nervous. He had been too smooth recently, and he always felt that something bad would happen.

When Song Qingming came to the meeting room with some trepidation, Song Changfeng quickly dismissed all the other clan members in the hall, leaving only him and Song Qingming.

"Qingming, I know you just came back, I shouldn't have disturbed you, but this matter is indeed a bit tricky, I can't make a decision alone, so I have to ask you to come."

"Sixth uncle, what happened, why are you so nervous?" Seeing Song Changfeng frowning, Song Qingming was suddenly a little shocked. Did something bad really happen?

Under Song Changfeng's narration, Song Qingming learned about a major event that happened recently in the Song family's territory, and couldn't help but frowned.

Just two days ago, a Qi refining family under the Song family, Fengtoushan Wang family, suddenly sent someone to the Song family to inform Song Changfeng of a very unexpected news that the Wang family found a Gengjin vein in their own territory.

The incident happened two months ago. At that time, several cultivators of the Wang family discovered a vein in their territory. At first, the Wang family thought it was an ordinary refined copper ore, and did not think too much about it. They directly arranged for mortals to dig out a part of it.

As a result, they found that the ore they dug out was not quite right. The Wang family cultivators took a few pieces to the Jianglingfang next door, wanting to take a look at the ore. As a result, they learned a more shocking fact. The ore they dug was not an ordinary refined ore, but a very rare Gengjin ore in the world of cultivation.

After learning this fact, the Wang family was completely panicked and could only send someone to inform the master of the matter.

After hearing this news, Song Qingming was also a little surprised. Unlike the relatively low-level refining materials such as black iron and refined copper, Gengjin can be used to refine high-level magic tools. There are only about a dozen Gengjin veins in the entire Weiguo, and basically all of them are in the hands of Xiaoyao Sect.

This kind of high-level refining material is very valuable. Even if it is just a small vein, the overall value is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary mastery ore. Faced with such rare mineral resources, let alone a small Qi refining family, the Wang family, even if the Song family discovered this vein, they are not qualified to mine it alone.

"Sixth uncle, this matter must be notified to Xiaoyao Sect immediately, otherwise if the time is delayed, if Xiaoyao Sect learns about this news somewhere else and accuses me of deliberately concealing the truth, it will be difficult for us to explain even if we are right."
