Chapter 260 Gift

Just as the two were enjoying tea in Xianfeng Tower, Li Quan suddenly heard a voice from outside, saying that Huang Shengyue, the ancestor of the Huang family, had arrived in Xianfeng Tower and had come to visit him specially.

After hearing the news, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan looked at each other and found that they were both surprised, so they hurried down from the second floor to greet him.

The reason why Huang Shengyue appeared here so quickly was that the monks on duty in Qinghefang had become members of the Huang family, and Huang Shengyue had been stationed in Qinghefang for several years.

A foundation-building monk like Song Qingming came to Qinghefang, and naturally he could not hide it from the Fangshi Guards, and soon someone reported the matter to Huang Shengyue.

"I was thinking of visiting you with Siyuan later. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Huang would come here. We are really flattered."

"Fellow Daoist Song, you only came to Qinghefang to see Siyuan. If I don't take the initiative to come, I'm afraid you will forget to see me later." Huang Shengyue didn't believe Song Qingming's polite words.

In order to conceal Song Qingyu's foundation building, Song Qingming rarely went out to meet people in recent years. Except for occasionally coming to Qinghefang for a bite, he spent most of his time on Funiu Mountain.

Every time he came to Qinghefang, Song Qingming also tried his best to avoid dealing with people. At most, he would leave after eating a meal. Today, Huang Shengyue came to block the door in person because he sent people to invite Song Qingming several times before, but he was late to Xianfeng Tower several times, and Song Qingming had already left after eating and drinking.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, you are too polite. Qingming is a junior after all, how dare I be so negligent? Please come in quickly. I must have a good chat with you today."

Huang Siyuan asked Li Quan to clean up the private room on the second floor, and then accompanied the two into the private room.

As soon as he sat down, Huang Shengyue took a sip of tea, and suddenly took out a yellow second-level spiritual fruit and placed it on the table. He smiled at Song Qingming and said, "I heard that Daoist Qingyu had already established his foundation a few days ago. Now the Song family has produced another talent. It is really a blessing for my Qinghe County. This pine spiritual fruit was just picked this year. It is quite beneficial for cultivators in the early stage of foundation building. It is a gift from my Huang family. Please don't despise it."

Hearing this, Song Qingming couldn't help but look at Huang Siyuan. It was really as she said. It seemed that the Huang family had known about this for a long time. Song Qingming was not too surprised about this. After all, it was really difficult to completely conceal such a thing. At the beginning, the Gao family also hid Gao Yubai very deeply, but they couldn't hide it from the Huang family. In this regard, Song Qingming had been prepared for a long time.

Fortunately, Huang Shengyue had come just after Huang Siyuan learned the news. Otherwise, if Huang Shengyue went to Funiu Mountain to visit and mentioned the matter a few days later, Song Qingming might really suspect that Huang Siyuan had deliberately leaked the matter to her.

Huang Siyuan was also relieved when she heard her ancestor's words. Although she had reported some news about the Song family to the Huang family over the years, they were all unimportant things on the surface. The Huang family would not have any impact on the Song family if they knew the news. Song Qingming also knew this.

After all, although Huang Siyuan is now Song Qingming's Taoist partner, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Song Qingming has kept her in Qinghefang for these years and has not brought her back to Funiu Mountain. He is on guard against her. It is impossible for her to know in advance about such a major event that concerns the rise and fall of the Song family.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, you are too polite. My sister is blessed by heaven for being able to build a foundation. How dare you accept such a great gift from me? Please take it back quickly."

"Alas! How can I take back something that my Huang family has given away? Fellow Daoist Song, please don't refuse it anymore, otherwise you will be disdaining my gift." Huang Shengyue saw that Song Qingming was still being polite, and her face suddenly changed and she showed a hint of displeasure.

Seeing this, Song Qingming was no longer polite and took the spiritual fruit into his bag.

This second-level spiritual fruit is the fruit of a second-level spiritual fruit tree of the Huang family. After taking it, it can increase the mana of the foundation-building cultivator. It is also a rare spiritual object. Song Qingming has never seen this thing in Qinghefang. It is estimated that they keep it for themselves or give it to others at critical moments.

This second-level spiritual fruit is worth at least nearly two hundred spiritual stones, which is a good gift. Compared with the picture given to him by the Xu family, this spiritual fruit is obviously more attractive.

After accepting the item, Huang Shengyue said, "Fellow Daoist Song, I wonder where you got this foundation-building pill. Can you tell me something?"

"It was a chance encounter. A few years ago, I exchanged some spiritual objects for a top-grade spiritual stone in Qinghefang. Later, I heard that there was a foundation-building pill in Bailong Mountain, so I took this item and ventured to Bailong Mountain to try my luck. By chance, I exchanged it with fellow Daoist Lin for a foundation-building pill." Seeing Huang Shengyue asking about this directly, Song Qingming, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately explained the reason truthfully.

Huang Shengyue came up to give a gift like this, it must be for this matter, and it would be difficult for Song Qingming to deliberately conceal this matter.

The exchange of high-grade spirit stones happened in Qinghefang. The Huang family would soon find out if they put in some effort to investigate. It was also not a big secret that Song Qingming suddenly went on a long trip to Bailong Mountain a few years ago. Huang Shengyue even knew about Song Qingyu's foundation building, so it would not be difficult to find out Song Qingming's whereabouts.

The reason why Song Qingming dared to say it so directly was because he was not worried that the Huang family would find something wrong.

After the news of the foundation building pill came out in Bailong Mountain, many people in Qinghefang also spread the news. However, everyone discussed the matter and basically just talked about it. They did not know the specific credibility of the matter. Few people dared to go to that very dangerous place to see it with their own eyes like Song Qingming.

As expected, Huang Shengyue, who came here for this matter, gradually became disappointed after hearing this answer. Although the Huang family also needed foundation-building pills, they did not have a good impression of Bailong Mountain, a place full of dangers. Unless it was absolutely necessary, the Huang family would not place their hopes for foundation-building on Bailong Mountain. Of course, she did not completely believe Song Qingming's one-sided words now, and she would definitely have to find out the truth of this matter after returning.

As a foundation-building immortal family that has lasted for thousands of years under the Xiaoyao Sect, the Huang family's foundation is naturally stronger than most immortal cultivation families. Every few decades, there are enough spiritual objects to exchange for foundation-building pills. This is also the secret of the Huang family's long-term prosperity. Song Qingming guessed that they should be able to cultivate another foundation-building cultivator in a short time.

Huang Shengyue and Song Qingming talked a lot about cultivation techniques. It was not until an hour later that Huang Shengyue said goodbye and left here.

Before leaving, Huang Shengyue specifically told Huang Siyuan not to manage the restaurant anymore and to stay with Song Qingming so that she could have more hope of building a foundation.

Huang Siyuan's cultivation is almost at the ninth level of Qi Refining now. The temptation of building a foundation is still very great for her now. However, although she has been married to the Song family for more than ten years, Song Qingming's attitude towards her is still a little unclear. She has no confidence that Song Qingming will worry about her foundation building in the future.

However, Huang Siyuan has been practicing Taoism for so many years and has already let go of these things. She doesn't have much hope for either the Huang family or the Song family. Although Song Qingming has taken care of her for so many years, Huang Siyuan mainly relies on herself to cultivate to this level step by step.

After sending Huang Shengyue away, Huang Siyuan lowered her head and slowly said, "How about you wait a little longer? I'll go to the market to see if there are any suitable gifts. You can bring them back to Qingyu as my gift."

"Okay! I'll go shopping with you!"
