Chapter 401 Hunting the Demon King
Song Qingming also cherished this rare opportunity very much. It was different from the experience of Jindan that he had seen in those classics before. A Jindan cultivator personally spoke out his own insights of breaking through the Jindan. This was a different personal experience for all the foundation-building cultivators present.
After listening to Chen Jinliang's preaching this time, Song Qingming not only had a better understanding of the Jindan Dao that was originally a bit illusory, but also had many new insights into his own cultivation. Even some of the problems that had troubled him in the past, now began to have many different insights.
After coming down from the top of the mountain, the sky had gradually darkened. Song Qingming had just returned to the temporary cave. Just when he was about to meditate and practice for a while, a sound transmission note suddenly passed through the restriction and flew into the cave. Song Qingming opened it and found that it was actually a sound transmission note sent to him by Chen Laozu himself, notifying him to go to Jinyun Pavilion early tomorrow morning.
Song Qingming was surprised by the sudden invitation from the Jindan Patriarch. He did not expect what the Patriarch Chen wanted and why he invited him to Jinyun Pavilion.
Since the Jindan Patriarch personally invited him, Song Qingming naturally did not dare to refuse this face. He came directly to Jinyun Pavilion early the next morning.
As soon as he entered the door, Song Qingming was a little surprised that this place, which was very lively a few days ago, was unusually quiet today. Except for a few standing waiters, there was not a single guest.
"Senior Song, the Patriarch is waiting for you upstairs. Come up with me!" After seeing Song Qingming come in, a woman wearing the uniform of a Jinyun Pavilion waiter at the door immediately came forward and saluted him.
Following the woman all the way up to the fourth floor, Song Qingming came to a very empty large room. In addition to some shelves with sundries, there was also a small magic circle in the middle of the room.
"Is this a teleportation array?" Song Qingming just took a quick look at the magic circle in front of him and quickly recognized it.
The woman nodded immediately upon hearing this and said, "Enter this teleportation array, and you will be able to see the ancestor. I have other guests to entertain, so I'll take my leave first!"
I didn't expect that there was another teleportation array on the fourth floor of Jinyun Pavilion. It seems that the place where this teleportation array leads to may be near the cave residence of Chen Laozu.
As a white light lit up on the teleportation array, Song Qingming was quickly teleported to a room smaller than the previous one.
As soon as he was teleported, Song Qingming immediately looked around and found an open door not far from the room. After walking out, Song Qingming soon saw seven or eight cultivators standing in front of him. Not far from them, there were three figures looking at him who had just walked over.
"Fellow Daoist Song, you're here!"
Just as he got closer, a cultivator suddenly came out from among these people and greeted him. Song Qingming looked closely and found that it was Fang Wuqian who stayed with him yesterday to listen to Chen Jinliang's preaching.
Not only Fang Wuqian, but the other cultivators standing here were also the foundation-building cultivators who had entered the top ten of the sword-discussing conference and were qualified to sit on the top of the mountain yesterday.
The three figures standing not far from their group were none other than the three Jindan cultivators who had appeared in the trade fair before, Chen Jinliang, Ma Hongshan and Chu Fengping of Xiaoyao Sect.
Seeing three Jindan cultivators appear here all of a sudden, Song Qingming was also surprised. He didn't know what happened and why Chen Jinliang summoned all the cultivators here.
After Song Qingming bowed to Fang Wuqian in return, he asked softly about the doubts in his heart. He didn't expect that Fang Wuqian, like him, had also come here yesterday because he received the decree from Patriarch Chen. Not only him, but also the other foundation-building cultivators present were the same.
Facing Patriarch Chen's voice transmission invitation, they, like Song Qingming, did not dare to neglect it and came here early in the morning. Because everyone had not arrived yet, the three Jindan ancestors headed by Patriarch Chen had not yet explained the purpose of summoning everyone this time.
After waiting for a while, until the last two cultivators walked into the hall, Chen Jinliang walked forward with a smile and said to everyone:
"All of you who have entered the top ten of this Tuoyun Mountain Sword Contest are also the best among the foundation-building cultivators. Today, I specially invited you all here because I actually have a chance to form a pill, which I want to give to you fellow Taoists."
"May I ask, ancestor, what is this opportunity?" Hearing Chen Jinliang mention the opportunity to form a pill, many foundation-building cultivators present were instantly excited and asked anxiously.
Facing the eager eyes of the people at the scene, Chen Jinliang did not seem to be in a hurry. He gently touched the long beard at the corner of his mouth, and then continued to speak: "A few days ago, I discussed with fellow Daoists Ma and Chu and decided to move the Great Black Mountain. If we can successfully kill the evil tiger this time, I decided to use the materials on his body to refine a furnace of Jade Dust Pills. No matter who you are present, as long as you are willing to follow us, you can get a pill after the pill is refined."
Hearing Chen Jinliang's words about preparing to move the Great Black Mountain, Song Qingming and the people present immediately changed their faces again, and they all quieted down in an instant. Only Lin Yutian and the Fairy Qiudie were still calm.
The Big Black Mountain is located more than 5,000 miles northwest of Tuoyun Mountain, deep into the Floating Cloud Mountains. This mountain is also a third-level spiritual vein, occupied by a third-level middle-grade demon king, the Black Flame Tiger.
This Black Flame Tiger demon king is very powerful. It came from the depths of the northern border to the vicinity of the Floating Cloud Mountains during the last demon beast riot. This demon king, together with two other demon kings, besieged Tiexian Valley for two years, causing great pressure to the northwest of Weiguo. If it weren't for the timely help of Chen Laozu, it would be hard to say whether Tiexian Valley could hold out until the demon beasts were defeated with its own strength.
Hunting a third-level demon king is no joke. Song Qingming has been practicing Taoism for so many years. Except for hearing that several demon kings died in the hands of Xiaoyao Sect during the last demon beast riot, he has never heard of any cultivator in Weiguo daring to go deep into the Floating Cloud Mountains to attack those demon kings.
The third-level demon kings are not only powerful, but also have great intelligence when they reach the third level. They are not as easy to deal with as the first and second-level demon beasts. They will not only divide their own territories to command the demon beasts below, but also form alliances with nearby demon kings. It is not easy to hunt them.
Moreover, some demon kings with larger backgrounds will choose to join a Yuanying demon king. If the cultivators go deep into the Floating Cloud Mountains to attack them without knowing it, they may directly anger the nearby Yuanying demon kings and bring huge disasters to the entire northern Wei country.
