Chapter 427 Song Xinde's Persistence

On the second day, at the top of Funiu Mountain, in Song Qingming's cave.

Song Xinde, who received the message early in the morning and came here, looked nervous. Standing in the cave of the family's foundation-building ancestor, he was also very uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know what Song Qingming wanted to ask him to come for.

Yesterday, Song Xinde just wanted to mortgage the defective second-level flying sword he had refined before to a clan member, and wanted to borrow some spirit stones from him to buy high-level refining materials in the market, but he didn't expect that this scene was bumped into by the clan leader who had just returned to the clan.

At that time, Song Qingming didn't say much, but just asked him why he wanted to borrow spirit stones everywhere, and then took away the second-level flying sword he was going to mortgage. Until now, Song Xinde didn't know what Song Qingming wanted him to do here.

At a wooden table not far in front of him, Song Qingming was concentrating on drawing a talisman on the table, and ignored Song Xinde who was at a loss.

A moment later, as Song Qingming gently lifted the talisman pen in his hand, a silver talisman with aura flew into his hand. Song Qingming nodded with satisfaction and turned around with a smile.

"Although my way of making talismans and refining instruments is different, the essence of all cultivation skills is similar. Practice makes perfect. Only after you lay a good foundation can you easily make further progress.

Although you have been able to refine a flawed second-level magic weapon before, your foundation is still a little insufficient. Don't be too anxious. If you want to break through and become a second-level instrument refiner in one step, you still need to spend more time and patiently study."

After Song Qingming finished speaking, a blue flying sword flashed in his hand, which was the flawed second-level flying sword he took away from Song Xinde yesterday.

After returning the flying sword to Song Xinde, Song Qingming continued, "I have carefully examined the flying sword you have refined. Although it has many flaws and cannot be considered a second-level magic weapon, the fact that you have been able to refine it also shows that your weapon-refining level is indeed not far from breaking through the second level."

After hearing Song Qingming's affirmation, Song Xinde suddenly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, choking a little and said, "My nephew is stupid. I have studied for so many years and spent a lot of high-level refining materials in the family, but I still failed to successfully refine a second-level magic weapon. I disappoint the clan leader and the elders."

Song Qingming stepped forward and helped Song Xinde up, and said softly, "You don't have to blame yourself for this. In recent years, the family has upgraded its spiritual veins, and the clan has I stopped supporting you after cutting back on food and clothing, which was a bit unfair to you.

Your uncle and I have discussed it a few days ago. The family situation has improved a little now. From now on, we will continue to support you to break through the second-level refiner. If you need anything in the future, you can go directly to your uncle, and he will find a way to arrange it for you. "

"Ah, thank you for your cultivation, patriarch! My nephew will study the way of refining diligently in the future, and strive to live up to the expectations of the patriarch and the family as soon as possible."

"Well! It's good that you have this confidence. These talismans are the gifts I, your elder, give you in advance." Song Qingming nodded with satisfaction, and rewarded the talismans he had just drawn in his hand to Song Xinde.

"Thank you for the reward, patriarch!"

After walking out of Song Qingming's cave, Song Xinde, who was excited at the moment, stood on the top of Funiu Mountain, looking at the sunlight that often fell from the clouds, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Since he came to Funiu Mountain when he was ten years old, although Song Xinde had practiced Taoism for more than 30 years before, he was just an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator in the Song family.

But this generation of cultivators just caught up with the good times. The Song family not only became a foundation-building family, but the entire family has been growing and developing for decades. Even if he is a person with ordinary spiritual roots and talents, the cultivation resources he can get in Qinghe County are not comparable to those cultivators and casual cultivators from Qi Refining families.

However, although Song Xinde was born in a foundation-building family like the Song family, his cultivation talent is still limited. After practicing hard for half a lifetime, he still can't compare with those talented clan leaders of the same generation. It's good enough to practice to the late stage of Qi Refining in this life, and it's hopeless to build a foundation.

Song Xinde, who has been mediocre in all aspects of the clan all his life, is very talented in refining equipment. Especially since Song Qingming issued an order to support the family's cultivation skills decades ago, Song Xinde has become more obsessed with his favorite cultivation skill.

With his outstanding talent in refining weapons, and with the support of his family, he soon improved his cultivation skills to the first-class upper grade and became the cultivator with the highest level of refining weapons in the family.

However, becoming a first-class upper-grade refiner is not Song Xinde's final goal. What he wants is to improve his refining skills to the second level, become the first second-level refiner of the Song family, and leave his name in the family classics.

In order to achieve this goal hidden in his heart over the years, Song Xinde has almost put all his energy on this. Even though the family stopped supporting him more than ten years ago, Song Xinde has never thought of giving up this goal.

In the past ten years, in order to purchase those high-level refining materials, Song Xinde not only spent all the spirit stones he had accumulated, but also owed a lot of spirit stones to his brothers and elders. He lived a very miserable life and often felt the contempt of some clan members behind his back.

After failing to refine the second-level magic weapon for many times, the brothers and friends who were close to Song Xinde began to persuade him to give up such endless investment. After all, the cost of refining a second-level magic weapon was not low, and the loss of a single failure would be at least hundreds of spiritual stones.

As long as Song Xinde was willing to refine the first-level magic weapon, his life would never be so embarrassing now.

Although everyone was persuading him to give up, Song Xinde still relied on his inner persistence and continued to persist until now, waiting for the family to pay attention to him again.

Recalling all the blows he had experienced over the years, the disappointment of the elders, the jokes of the brothers, and the coldness of the clan members seemed like yesterday. Fortunately, he finally survived and did not give up easily.

After the darkness, he finally saw a ray of light. Standing on the top of the mountain, Song Xinde was very glad that he had persisted all these years, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to get the affirmation and support of the family ancestor today.

With the support of his family, Song Xinde did not rush to collect materials to refine a second-level magic weapon after returning to his cave. Instead, he planned to spend a year or two helping other cultivators in the clan to refine and repair first-level magic weapons and consolidate his basic skills in refining.
