Chapter 330 Return to Weiguo

During the most intense months of the battlefield, Song Qingming basically stayed at the front line of Fengguyuan, except for the occasional mission to escort supplies.

In this kind of melee where dozens or hundreds of foundation-building cultivators of the same level are fighting, cultivators with lower cultivation strength are the easiest to be targeted, after all, people like to pick on the weak. However, even if you are a master at the peak of foundation building and have excellent magic weapons, once you behave too fearfully, it is easy for the opponent to specifically target you, and send many people to beat you up right away. Many masters on both sides accidentally fell on the battlefield like this.

The reason why Song Qingming was able to survive successfully in this very dangerous battlefield is that his own magic weapons are relatively excellent. With top-level second-level magic weapons such as the Green Water Bell and the Alphabet Black Knife, he will not be defeated so easily against ordinary foundation-building cultivators. Even if he can't beat the opponent, as long as he doesn't encounter a top foundation-building master like Sun Jingya before, he can still save his life.

Secondly, Song Qingming was very low-key on the battlefield. In the half-year battle, Song Qingming only found the opportunity to kill two opponents of the same level with lower cultivation. This record was not ranked on his side, otherwise he would not have needed so long to collect enough merits to exchange for the second-level puppet beast.

During this dangerous half-year, the senior Feng He who had been following him actually helped him a lot in secret. Although this guy did not directly help him fight the enemy, his powerful soul could easily help Song Qingming quickly identify which opponents were difficult to deal with on the battlefield.

It was with the occasional guidance of this old senior that Song Qingming was able to successfully avoid the most powerful masters among the foundation-building cultivators sent by the Tianhai League, hiding in the crowd, and survived with good luck in the eyes of others.

The constant battles with the cultivators of the same level also greatly increased Song Qingming's own fighting experience, and his own strength has also improved significantly. Now Song Qingming can fight back and forth in a short period of time even if he faces an ordinary late-stage foundation-building cultivator, and will not fall behind.

In this kind of environment of constant fighting, it is actually very helpful for some cultivators to comprehend their own cultivation. In the past six months, Song Qingming has seen many cultivators who have been troubled by their own cultivation bottlenecks for many years, and they successfully broke through their cultivation shortly after the battle.

It’s a pity that the mana accumulated in his body is still far from breaking through the seventh level of foundation building, and he didn’t encounter such a good opportunity.

In this way, after more than half a year of wandering in the more dangerous Fengguyuan front, Song Qingming finally accumulated enough merits and exchanged for a second-level puppet beast that he had been thinking about in the Lingyin Sect’s Good Merit Pavilion.

This time, Song Qingming came out to collect the spirit of the monster beast. It was also the first time that Song Qingming controlled and used this puppet beast. Its combat ability still made Song Qingming very satisfied.

The reason why he chose to exchange this Chifeng beast was because Song Qingming was attracted by its extremely fast speed in battle. Under Song Qingming’s control, this second-level inferior puppet beast could be three points faster than an ordinary cultivator who had just built a foundation, and it was easy to achieve unexpected results in the fight against the enemy.

Song Qingming, who had received the giant python's soul, had just returned to the front-line camp when he received a piece of news that made him happy. A few days ago, he applied for a transfer order to return to Weiguo, and today he finally got a reply.

A few days later, Song Qingming boarded the spiritual boat that returned to Baimeng Mountain to transport monks. He first returned to Lingyin Sect, and then waited there for more than half a month before taking a large flying boat back to Weiguo.

On the way from Fengguyuan to Baimeng Mountain, all the spiritual boats that transported supplies and monks were strictly inspected. Front-line monks could not return to the rear of Lingyin Sect at will without receiving a transfer order. Otherwise, if they were caught deserting in the face of battle and shaking the morale of the army, not only would they be severely punished, but also their relatives and disciples would be implicated.

Not only was the battle on the front line fierce, but in the past six months or so, the monks who transported supplies in the rear of both sides were also often attacked by monks sent by the other side to infiltrate.

The monks stationed at the Lingyin Sect’s market stronghold on the front line of Fengguyuan also had to rush around to rescue the transport of materials and monks. Many of them could not escape the fate of falling outside.

Fortunately, after the Huanglongfang incident, the Lingyin Sect also strengthened the defense of these strongholds in time. In order to prevent Liu Wenguan from betraying the sect again, the Lingyin Sect not only issued a large reward order for him, but also executed all his relatives and disciples with ruthless means. This also shocked many people who had been sneaky in the war before, and the combat effectiveness of the monks on the battlefield of the Lingyin Sect in the past six months has been significantly improved.

It was not until Song Qingming boarded the large flying boat back to Weiguo that the tense atmosphere on the battlefield finally slowly subsided.

This time, the flying boat returning to Weiguo was relatively empty. Except for some monks who returned to Weiguo like Song Qingming, there were not many goods loaded. Only some spiritual objects unique to Lu were carried to Weiguo Market for sale.

The Xiaoyao Sect's Jindan cultivator who was in charge of the flying boat has been replaced by Chu Fengping. He is a relatively young Jindan elder in the Xiaoyao Sect. It has been less than sixty years since he broke through to the Jindan realm, and now he is just over two hundred years old.

Although this person's cultivation ranks behind in Xiaoyao Sect, he is also a rare third-level alchemist. His alchemy level is second only to the third-ranked Elder Wu Tong in Xiaoyao Sect. And this elder's life span is already more than 500 years old, and at most he has a few decades left. After he passes away, there will only be Chu Fengping, the third-level alchemist, in Xiaoyao Sect. This also means that his future status should not be worse than any other elder.

The flying boat returned to the Guyang Mountain of Xiaoyao Sect after sailing for more than a month. After getting off the flying boat, Song Qingming did not rush to return to Qinghe County, but went to visit Song Xinyu who had joined Xiaoyao Sect.

In the past few years, Song Xinyu has obviously grown a lot after experiencing the tragic death of his third uncle Song Qingze. Not only has he acted more steadily, but his cultivation has also improved and finally entered the late stage of Qi Refining. Song Qingming estimates that in about ten years, he should also start planning for foundation building.

Among all the cultivators of the new generation of the Song family, Song Xinyu has the best talent and is the one with the most hope of building a foundation among his generation. Song Xinyu has been highly valued by his teachers in Xiaoyao Sect over the years. Given his situation, as long as the Song family can help him a little in the future, it will not be difficult for him to obtain a foundation-building pill.

Song Qingming has been mentally prepared for this. When Song Xinyu builds his foundation in the future, even if the clan cannot provide spiritual stones, he will definitely support him even if he has to pay out of his own pocket.

After carefully instructing Song Xinyu, Song Qingming left him some spiritual stones, and then set off to return to Qinghe County and returned to Funiu Mountain, where he had been away for more than a year.
