Chapter 467: Prepare Early
After bidding farewell to Chu Fengping, Song Qingming immediately sent a voice transmission to call Song Qingyu, Huang Siyuan and Song Yuanli, who were still busy on the mountain, to come here.
"Seventh brother, why are you calling us here so urgently? Did Senior Chu ask something?" After a moment, Song Qingyu and the other two hurried over and asked with a puzzled look as soon as they entered the door.
Song Qingming looked at them calmly, nodded and said, "I just asked Senior Brother Chu, there should be some problems in the sect. I'm afraid they can't take care of Jinshanfang next time there's a riot of monsters."
Hearing what Song Qingming said, Song Qingyu and the other two immediately changed their faces and said in surprise, "The sect has entrusted this large area to us to guard. If the next riot of monsters is the same as last time, and two level 3 monsters come at once, I'm afraid we will have some difficulty dealing with it."
"Yes, Uncle Qi, it's too difficult for us to defend Jinshanfang alone. Even if Xiaoyao Sect can't send Jindan cultivators, they can't just ignore us!"
Song Qingming's face was solemn, and he sighed, "The riot of monsters concerns the fate of the entire Weiguo people. Xiaoyao Sect naturally can't ignore it, but now there is a problem in the sect. It's really hard to say whether they can send forces to support us at that time.
No matter what happens next, we have to do it ourselves first Prepare, try to block the monsters in Jinshanfang, otherwise once the monster is broken through Pingyang County, we will also be difficult to escape bad luck. The family monks and mortals are near the vicinity of Funiu Mountain. No time to take off guard. "" Hmm! I have decided, and I will go directly to Jinshanfang in a few days. Busy to strengthen the overall defense of Jinshanfang. After Song Qingming nodded, he said to Song Yuanli who was waiting on the side: "Yuanli, you should stay in Funiu Mountain first. The clan will be entrusted to you for the time being. You should discuss with the clan elders when encountering problems. If there is anything unusual in Qinghe County, you must inform us in time."
"Yuanli obeys the order. Please rest assured, Uncle Qi, I will definitely protect the clan members well!"
——
A few days later, outside Jinshanfang, Pingyang County.
Because the turmoil of monsters in the northern border is approaching, most of the casual cultivators who usually enter the Floating Cloud Mountains from Jinshanfang have been reduced, so the entire Jinshanfang is now becoming more and more depressed.
On this day, the several Qi-refining cultivators guarding the door, except for one who was still checking the cultivators and mortals who came in and out in groups of three or two, the others had already hidden in the ear room on the side to drink tea and chat.
Not long after, two spiritual lights suddenly appeared in the air and fell outside Jinshanfang together. After the spiritual lights dissipated, the figures of a man and a woman soon appeared.
After discussing with Song Qingyu and others, Song Qingming quickly packed up his things and went to Jinshanfang with Huang Siyuan.
Seeing two strange foundation-building cultivators suddenly coming outside the market, the market guard who was checking the people in and out shouted to call out the other cultivators guarding the gate.
"Brother Lu! Two seniors are coming up."
After hearing the shout, three Qi-refining cultivators dressed in the same way immediately ran out from the side room. The square-faced burly man who led them glanced at Song Qingming and the others who were walking over, and immediately told the others: "Go to the back and open the city gate to guard the formation, be smart."
After the square-faced man finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards Song Qingming and the others, bowed with a smile and said: "Two seniors, may I ask what you are doing in the market?"
Song Qingming glanced at the square-faced sturdy man in front of him who was respectful to him, and said softly: "We two are going to the market to do some things and buy some spiritual objects."
"Senior! Our Jinshanfang has now begun martial law. Foundation-building cultivators must have a permanent pass token to enter. If you two seniors are not local cultivators, please wait a moment. I will report this to the elders of the market first, and ask Senior Cao to come and guarantee for you two seniors." After the square-faced sturdy man finished speaking, he immediately turned around and wanted to return to the market.
"Husband, it seems that the guards here in Jinshanfang are still a little cautious. They have begun martial law so early." Seeing that the two of them had just walked over, these market guards immediately opened a protective magic circle at the door. Huang Siyuan praised with a smile on her face.
Song Qingming looked at the formation at the entrance of the market, shook his head calmly and said: "This level of protective formation can only deal with ordinary foundation-building cultivators. If they encounter masters above the middle stage of foundation-building, they may not be able to wait for other foundation-building cultivators in the market to come to support them, and the gate of the market will be lost."
"No foundation-building cultivators usually come here. It's good enough for them to do this. You don't have to be too harsh on them now. It will take some time to change these things."
Just when Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were chatting at the entrance of the market, a middle-aged woman in red palace clothes had walked out of the market quickly.
As soon as the red-dressed woman saw Song Qingming and Huang Siyuanyuan, she hurriedly stepped forward with a surprised look and bowed, saying, "I am Cao Rongxue, and I am honored to meet Senior Song and Fellow Daoist Huang."
Cao Rongxue is the head of the Cao family, the largest foundation-building family in Pingyang County. When the Song family held a banquet to celebrate the advancement of the Jindan Immortal Clan a few days ago, Cao Rongxue also represented the Cao family to go to Funiu Mountain.
When Song Qingming was still a foundation-building cultivator, he had some friendship with Cao Rongxue. The two had fought side by side on the front line of Lu State. At that time, Cao Rongxue's cultivation was higher than Song Qingming.
Seeing Song Qingming, who had become a Jindan Zhenren in front of her, Cao Rongxue was also very envious. Although her current cultivation has reached the ninth level of foundation-building, she has also tried to form a pill once in these years, but she has not succeeded in forming a pill, and instead hurt her vitality. Until now, she is still not sure about breaking through the Jindan realm.
Seeing his old friend Cao Rongxue, Song Qingming nodded with a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Cao, please stand up quickly. I remember that we fought side by side for many years on the front line of Lu State. Don't be so polite in the future."
Seeing that Cao Rongxue, a senior who usually holds a very high status in the market, actually called the man in front of him "senior", the guards at the entrance of the market were also a little dumbfounded, thinking that they had just heard wrong.
Cao Rongxue's cultivation has reached the peak of foundation building, and his age is not young among foundation building cultivators. The person who can make her call him senior so respectfully, could this person be a Jindan Zhenren?
"In that case, I thank Senior Song. I just heard from those ignorant juniors that two strange cultivators came to the market. I didn't expect that they were the two seniors.
Senior has just successfully formed a golden elixir. These people below have not seen the portrait of the senior's appearance. I was rude just now. I hope Senior Song will not mind."
"We are rude. I hope the ancestor will forgive us!"
The news that Song Qingming formed a golden elixir has spread throughout Weiguo in recent days. Jinshanfang has naturally heard the news a long time ago. After hearing Cao Rongxue confirm that the person in front of them is really the senior Song who has become a golden elixir cultivator not long ago, the guards who just stopped Song Qingming at the door immediately broke out in cold sweat and quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Song Qingming waved his hand calmly: "As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. All of you get up. I came to Jinshanfang this time because I have important things to discuss with fellow Taoists in Pingyang County. I would like to ask fellow Taoist Cao to take the trouble to invite the managers of the major foundation-building families in Pingyang County to come to Jinshanfang."
"Please rest in the market for a while. I will go down to arrange this matter immediately!"
Cao Rongxue's efficiency is still good. However, only half a day later, Song Qingming saw the monks from the major foundation-building families in Pingyang County who rushed here quickly after receiving the news in the meeting hall of Jinshanfang.
In addition to the major foundation-building families, the Xiaoyao Sect foundation-building monks stationed in several sect mines in Pingyang County also rushed here after knowing the news that Song Qingming came to Jinshanfang.
Pingyang County is still the same as it was a hundred years ago, with only seven foundation-building families in the territory. Like Qinghe County, Pingyang County has also experienced a lot of things in the past hundred years. Two of the original seven foundation-building families have changed their surnames to newly promoted foundation-building families.
Compared with the past hundred years, Qinghe County has gradually strengthened with the rise of the Song family. Although Pingyang County still has seven foundation-building families, the number of foundation-building cultivators is now two less than a hundred years ago, with a total of only fourteen foundation-building cultivators, and the overall strength is still reduced.
This is also because the monsters broke through Jinshanfang a hundred years ago, bringing a huge disaster to the entire northern part of Pingyang County, and a lot of cultivators and mortals were lost, resulting in the overall strength of Pingyang County's cultivation world not only not increasing in the past hundred years, but also slightly weakened.
Song Qingming, who was sitting at the head of the meeting hall, glanced at the dozen or so foundation-building cultivators present and said softly, "You all should have received the sect's edict recently. Now that the monster riot is approaching, our Jinshanfang will inevitably be attacked by the monsters from the northern border. This time I came to Jinshanfang to discuss with you how to deal with this matter!"
