Chapter 341 Entering Yunwu Mountain
Two days after delivering the letter to the Huang family, Song Qingming was somewhat surprised that the person who was invited to the Song family this time was not Huang Shengyue as Song Qingming thought, but Huang Sibo who had successfully built his foundation more than ten years ago.
Since Huang Sibo built his foundation, Song Qingming has met him once at the banquet held by the Huang family. This is the second time he has met him. After more than ten years, Huang Sibo's current cultivation level is not much different from what Song Qingming expected, and he has also broken through to the third level of foundation building.
"My aunt happened to be in seclusion a few days ago. After receiving the letter, the clan leader was afraid that other things would happen after a long time, so he sent the younger generation here. I hope Senior Song will forgive me!"
Huang Sibo had just arrived at Funiu Mountain. When he saw Song Qingming coming to greet him, he showed a trace of doubt on his face and hurriedly explained.
Hearing the news that Huang Shengyue was in seclusion, Song Qingming immediately reacted in his heart that she was in seclusion to break through the late stage of foundation building.
Huang Shengyue had established her foundation many years earlier than Song Qingming, but her cultivation speed after establishing her foundation was not very fast. She broke through to the sixth level of foundation two years later than Song Qingming. This time, she was able to retreat because she probably found a good spiritual object, but it was not certain whether she could succeed.
Song Qingming had failed to break through the late stage of foundation building in recent years, which made him deeply understand the difficulties in the process. Although the sixth and seventh levels of foundation building are only separated by one level, the difficulty of this level has increased several times compared with the previous levels, which almost stumped more than 50% of the foundation building cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.
Among the foundation building cultivators familiar to Song Qingming, such as Lu Yuanfeng from Qinghefang, Lu Xingde from the Lu family, and Huang Chengliang from the Huang family, they all stagnated for many years after cultivating to the middle stage of foundation building and could no longer improve. There were also many hard-working people among them, but without the help of suitable spiritual objects, they could only waste their time.
"Alas! Fellow Daoist Huang has been a fellow Taoist of my generation for a long time. Why mention the word senior? We should still treat each other as peers in the future. Don't break the rules of the immortal cultivation world for tens of thousands of years."
Huang Sibo smiled when he heard this, and replied without being polite: "Fellow Daoist Song is right. Although I have been building my foundation for some years, I rarely go out. I didn't expect that the Funiu Immortal Mountain is so beautiful. It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to visit it earlier."
"Fellow Daoist Huang is too polite. How can the beautiful Funiu Mountain be compared with the thousand-year-old spiritual land Taiyuan Mountain in our Qinghe County? It is really an honor for my Song family to receive such praise from you today."
Song Qingming, Song Qingyu and several elders of the Song family came forward to meet Huang Sibo one by one, and then very politely invited him to the meeting room.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, this time, the monsters from Yunwu Mountain broke into Qinghe County on a large scale, and there were also second-level monsters mixed in. I guess there must be some changes in the mountain, so I invited you here to help and see if you can investigate and calm this matter down." After Song Qingming drank a cup of spiritual tea, he roughly repeated what happened in Baiyang Mountain to him.
Huang Sibo stood up and bowed, saying: "Although Sibo has established his foundation, he has never been deep into Yunwu Mountain. The clan leader has already explained this time, so I just listen to you."
"Your and my families have been allies for many years. Since Fellow Daoist Huang said so, Song will not waste time here. The three of us who have established our foundation will go to Yunwu Mountain together and go to the Fire Scale Leopard's lair to see if there is a chance to kill this monster. Let's put an end to this trouble first." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took the initiative to stand up and walked out with Song Qingyu and Huang Sibo.
The three flew eastward for about two hundred miles and finally arrived at the volcano that Song Qingyu had been to before.
After Song Qingming put on the Hidden Spirit Shirt to hide his figure, he went around the mountain, but he was a little surprised. He did not find any traces of the Fire Scale Leopard here, and there were only a few monsters on the whole mountain. It didn't look like the territory of a second-level monster at all.
"Even if it went out hunting, this Fire Scale Leopard would not take away all the monsters on the mountain. Could it be that this monster just migrated to another spiritual mountain?"
In this Yunwu Mountain, there are not many second-level spiritual veins, and basically there are monsters entrenched. The place where monsters like the Fire Scale Leopard like to practice the most is the volcanic spiritual vein in front of them. It doesn't make sense not to go to other places to look for spiritual veins in such a good place.
After Song Qingming brought this news back to inform Song Qingyu and the others, the three of them searched the volcano carefully together and found a huge cave near the top of the mountain.
The fire attribute spiritual energy in the cave is very abundant, and there are many remains of monsters around. After several people arrived here, they knew without thinking that this should be the cave where the fire scale leopard practiced.
After walking to the depths of the cave, Song Qingyu, who was standing by, suddenly saw a place that was very charred in a cave extending from the cave. After going forward and carefully checking it out, she found some residual ore and traces of human activities on the ground here, and hurriedly called Song Qingming and the others over.
"There should be other cultivators who stayed here for a while, and he left not too long ago. It should be that this person drove away the fire scale leopard in order to refine some magic weapon here, so it gave up this spiritual vein and broke into Qinghe County not long ago." Song Qingming carefully observed the surroundings and slowly spoke to the two people beside him.
"This person was able to drive the original owner, the Fire Scale Leopard, away from here. It is certain that his cultivation is not inferior to ours. It is really troublesome for us to have such an unknown foreign foundation-building cultivator hiding here. Fortunately, he has left now." Huang Sibo said with a smile.
Song Qingming shook his head and said with a serious face: "This person came here to use the fire vein spirit energy here to refine a magic weapon. As for whether he has been hiding nearby or has left, it is hard to say now. After returning, I need to remind the tribesmen not to go deep into Yunwu Mountain in the near future."
Yunwu Mountain is also a mountain spanning thousands of miles. There are also many casual cultivators who will put caves nearby. For example, the cave of the senior cultivator that Song Qingming explored with the old Taoist Chen before building his foundation is a casual cultivator who built his cave deep in Yunwu Mountain.
There must be more than one cultivator like this, but in order to hide their caves, ordinary cultivators will not easily reveal their whereabouts near the caves.
Regardless of whether this person is still hiding nearby, as long as he is just an ordinary casual cultivator, the impact on Qinghe County and the Song family will not be too great, and everyone does not need to worry about it. The only worry is that this person is a bandit cultivator who escaped here from other places.
For some reason, after Song Qingming arrived here, a strange and familiar feeling suddenly flashed through his mind, and this feeling also made him feel a little uneasy.
