Chapter 300 Skyfire Peng Advancement
The man standing in front of everyone was Song Qingming, who had been away from home for more than ten days. At this moment, he greeted everyone with a happy face.
Looking at the stunned elders in front of him, Song Qingming raised his hand and pointed at the Tianhuopeng in the sky, and said to Song Changfeng and others:
"Don't worry, it won't attack us. Everyone, stop looking and go and close the mountain protection formation, so as not to waste spiritual stones later!"
Hearing what Song Qingming said, Song Changfeng also came back to his senses and asked the few people who were still in a daze to quickly close the mountain protection formation.
Long Feng did not break his promise. Half a year later, Song Qingming went to the Floating Cloud Mountains again. When he came back, he really rode the Tianhuopeng that had successfully advanced.
Although it is relatively more difficult for monsters to advance than human cultivators, Long Feng is at least a dominant Jindan monster king. With his strength, it is not a problem to support a monster to advance to the foundation-building stage. Tianhuopeng smoothly advanced to the second level.
Logically speaking, most of Song Changfeng and others have seen Tianhuopeng. The reason why they failed to recognize it just now is that after Tianhuopeng's advancement, its size has more than doubled compared to before, and the color of its feathers has changed from golden yellow to grayish white now, so Song Changfeng and others failed to recognize it at once.
After the mountain protection formation was lifted, under the guidance of Song Qingming, Tianhuopeng finally landed next to his cave on the top of Funiu Mountain. After the monster beast advanced to the second level, its intelligence has caught up with human children. Now Tianhuopeng can fully cooperate with Song Qingming's simple instructions.
After returning to Funiu Mountain with Tianhuopeng, Song Qingming planned to open a secret room for Tianhuopeng next to his cave. In the future, Tianhuopeng will not be allowed to go to Qinghefang again. As an important trump card of the family, Tianhuopeng will stay in Funiu Mountain for a long time in the future. With it guarding this sacred mountain, Song Qingming can feel more at ease when he goes out.
The strength of the Skyfire Peng, which has advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, is not bad. It has several powerful fire-attributed magical powers in its own talents. After Song Qingming and it sparred for a while, he found that this guy's fighting ability is comparable to that of a human cultivator who has just established his foundation.
The intelligence of the demon race is too low in the Qi Refining Stage, so it will be weaker than the human cultivators of the same level. After reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, not only will their intelligence be greatly opened, but their own magical powers will also be much stronger. After the demon beasts with strong bloodlines like the Skyfire Peng advance to the second level, their own strength is no longer inferior to the human cultivators of the same level in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
After listening to Song Qingming's description of the Skyfire Peng's advancement process, Song Changfeng, the head of the Song family, couldn't help but be very excited. If the previous Song family as a foundation-building family was still a little lacking in foundation, now the family has a second-level mountain-guarding spiritual beast, which can completely make up for this shortcoming.
The life span of a demon beast is generally about two or three times that of a human cultivator. A feathered demon beast like the Skyfire Peng can normally live for six or seven hundred years. As long as it is there, even if the Song family loses all the foundation-building cultivators, it will not decline rapidly. As long as this spirit beast does not have any accidents, the Song family can still prosper in Qinghe County for at least a few hundred years.
After returning to Funiushan, Song Qingming quickly recruited a newly-entered beastmaster in the family and handed the Skyfire Peng to him for daily care. Not long after he settled the Skyfire Peng, his sixth uncle Song Changfeng came to find him again with a smile.
"Qingming, at the family spiritual root test ceremony a few days ago, two cultivators of the Yuan generation were added at once this year, which is a rare happy event. I want to use this to hold a ceremony of grace and honor in the Song family to celebrate and encourage these children of the Yuan generation who have come to the mountain in recent years. What do you think?"
Song Qingming nodded and said, "Sixth uncle's idea is good. Since we are going to do it, just notify all the cultivators outside and tell them to come back as much as possible if they can. If they really can't come back due to something, forget it, and don't delay the work at hand."
Song Changfeng made this suggestion. In fact, Song Qingming had always had this idea in his mind. Now that he proposed it, Song Qingming agreed to Song Changfeng's proposal.
When Song Qingyu was building her foundation, the Song family was going to hold a foundation-building ceremony for her. In the end, Song Qingming stopped it in order to keep the matter of Song Qingyu's foundation-building secret. At that time, some cultivators did not quite understand the family's approach to this matter.
Now the Song family has developed steadily and has become more and more like a foundation-building family. Song Qingming and Song Qingyu are not very old and can still protect the Song family for a long time. It is time for the family members to relax and celebrate.
Under the personal arrangement of Song Changfeng, the Song family began to get busy. After receiving the news, the Song family cultivators outside also asked for leave and returned to Funiu Mountain. The entire Funiu Mountain also ushered in an unprecedented lively scene.
Not only the family cultivators on Funiu Mountain, but also the mortals under the mountain also relaxed and celebrated during this festival.
In the meeting hall of Funiu Mountain, five children in their teens of different heights were kowtowing to the two foundation-building ancestors of the family sitting at the top under the guidance of their elders.
Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, who came back from Qinghefang to attend the Enrong Ceremony, gave these younger generations of the Yuan generation a gift to encourage them to practice hard in the future.
Looking at the young faces in front of him, Song Qingming couldn't help but recall his immature appearance when he first went up the mountain.
At that time, the Song family was just a small Qi-refining family with average foundation, and all the cultivators added up to only 20 people. Song Qingming didn't have much hope for his path at the beginning, and he relied on himself to move forward steadily step by step to create a path for cultivation.
Now these children have grown up in the Song family, which has risen to become a foundation-building family. They have a higher and better starting point. In the future, they may be able to surpass the old generation and carry forward the entire Song family.
The Song family has developed rapidly in recent years, and the newly built town at the foot of the mountain has also given mortals a lot of room for development. The overall number of mortals has nearly doubled compared to when Song Qingming just built his foundation, and the generation of cultivators has also been passed from the new generation to the Yuan generation.
It is precisely because of these mortals that the number of monks in the Song family has doubled in the past few decades. There are only a dozen people in the Chang and Qing generations, but the new generation has seen explosive growth, with the youngest one already ranking 26th.
The birth of the new generation of monks also means the aging of the old generation of monks. The monks of the Chang generation have gradually begun to die. Among the old monks of the Chang generation who are still alive, the oldest uncle Song Changwu has returned home to retire a few years ago.
