Chapter 498: Beautiful Scenery
Song Qingming has been keeping Song Changze by his side for the past few years, and this is something that everyone in the Song family has witnessed. The family got the foundation-building pill this time, and Song Qingyu had some guesses at the beginning that Song Qingming might directly support Song Changze in building his foundation this time.
The reason why Song Qingyu proposed to support Song Yuanxue during the meeting just now was purely out of consideration for the family as a whole. Song Yuanxue is one of the few people in the Song family who can improve his cultivation skills to the second level in the Qi Refining period. Compared with the other cultivators who have cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining, supporting Song Yuanxue is definitely the most profitable for the family at present.
Although the Song family's spiritual fields and spiritual medicine gardens also planted some second-level spiritual medicines, because they have always suffered from the lack of spiritual plant masters above the second level, the cost of cultivating these high-level spiritual medicines is much higher than that of other foundation-building families with a deeper foundation in spiritual plants. Therefore, even in Qinghefang, the business of the Song family's spiritual medicine shop is far behind that of the Huang and Gao families.
The spiritual plant master is the most common and important skill in the world of immortal cultivation. It is very easy to get started with low-level spiritual plant masters. Even if it is a first-level upper-grade spiritual plant master, the Song family can now easily recruit more than a dozen people. However, there are not many spiritual plant masters above the second level. There are only four or five in the entire Qinghe County.
The Ma family of Tiexianbao can cultivate so many foundation-building cultivators because they can cultivate many high-level spiritual medicines by themselves. As long as they collect a furnace of spiritual medicines for refining foundation-building pills, they can ask third-level alchemists like Chen Jinliang to help refine foundation-building pills and continuously cultivate new foundation-building cultivators for the family.
Although the second-level lower-grade spiritual plant master cannot cultivate many high-level spiritual medicines, as long as Song Yuanxue can successfully build a foundation, her spiritual plant skills will have a chance to be improved. In the future, she may also be able to cultivate those high-level spiritual medicines that can be used to refine foundation-building pills for the Song family.
Since Song Yuanxue successfully broke through to the second-level spiritual plant master, the Song family has obviously begun to improve in the past few years in terms of cultivating spiritual medicine. With the inheritance of spiritual plant masters above the second level, the Song family will be able to quickly reach a new level in the future, whether cultivating spiritual medicine or spiritual fields, which is also a great improvement for the entire family.
For a cultivator like Song Yuanxue who has made great contributions to the family, facing the important juncture of building a foundation, which is related to the fate of her own path, it is indeed a bit unreasonable if no elder stands up to speak for her. Song Qingyu and Song Yuanfang also spoke for Song Yuanxue with this in mind at the time.
However, the Song family still has the final say on the matter of the foundation-building pill. The golden pill elder Song Qingming, if Song Qingming does not agree to support Song Yuanxue's foundation building, these elders will naturally not object.
It's just that in this case, someone among the family's foundation-building elders can stand up and speak for herself, even if she fails to get the foundation-building pill in the end, it can make Song Yuanxue feel a little better.
After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, Song Qingyu nodded woodenly and said with a smile: "Changze is still young now, why not let him go to the law enforcement team to temper his character with Yuantong and others, and lay a good foundation for future foundation building."
"Your idea is good. I will prepare to start retreat tomorrow. Please go and talk to Yuanxue and Changze. These two children are the more talented people among the younger generations of the family. We elders will do our best to support them, but whether they can achieve enlightenment depends on themselves." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out a small jade box from his body and handed it to Song Qingyu.
"Seventh brother, you can retreat without worry. With Yuanfang and I in the family, there will definitely be no big trouble!"
After bidding farewell to Song Qingyu, Song Qingming returned to the cave. Not long after, he closed the door of the cave and directly opened the restriction at the door.
This time when he went to Xiaoyao Sect, Song Qingming not only brought back a foundation building pill from the Good Merit Pavilion, but also took back the "Bailu Pill" that Chu Fengping had worked with him to refine.
After taking out a small jade box from his body, Song Qingming opened it and looked at the two flawless white pills in the jade box, and couldn't help but smile.
Song Qingming and Chu Fengping worked together to refine this furnace of "Bailu Pill". They were lucky enough to have three pills in total. In addition to giving one to Chu Fengping, Song Qingming got two more. Compared with the value of the White Lion Demon King's demon pill, Song Qingming still made a little profit by getting these two "Bailu Pills".
However, although the effect of this third-level middle-grade "Bailu Pill" in assisting cultivation is good, each Jindan cultivator can only take one at most. Forcibly refining the second pill will greatly reduce the effect, and it will also leave a lot of pill poison in your body, affecting the cultivator's future refining of other pills.
After carefully concentrating and adjusting his state, Song Qingming took out a "Bailu Pill" and put it directly into his mouth. As his hands activated the Five Elements Xuan Gang Jue technique in his body, a five-colored spiritual light slowly lit up from Song Qingming's head and began to wrap around his body, making the entire cave bright all of a sudden.
Since he reached the Golden Core Realm, this was the first time that Song Qingming had taken such a high-quality elixir, and he was full of expectations for the effect of refining the "Bailu Pill".
——
A few days later, in the spiritual medicine garden in the back mountain of the Song family, Song Yuanxue, dressed in white, carefully transplanted a second-level spiritual fruit tree that had just been purchased from the market into the spiritual medicine garden with the assistance of several spiritual plant masters.
The Song Family Spiritual Medicine Garden was a Qi Refining Family a hundred years ago. Because the family was too weak at that time, they did not dare to cultivate high-level spiritual medicines, and they only planted low-level medicinal materials.
Later, Song Qingming successfully built his foundation, and the Song family was promoted to a foundation-building family. The Spiritual Medicine Garden began to cultivate some second-level medicinal materials. However, because the family has never had a second-level spiritual plant master, the second-level medicinal materials planted take too long to mature, and some have not yet matured. The benefits obtained are really too low, so most of the spiritual medicines cultivated in the Spiritual Medicine Garden are still first-level spiritual medicines.
It was not until the past few years that Song Yuanxue successfully cultivated several second-level spiritual medicines in the Spiritual Medicine Garden and was promoted to a second-level spiritual plant master. The Song Family Spiritual Medicine Garden began to plant a large number of various spiritual objects above the second level.
Since Song Yuanxue entered the Taoism and practiced, although she was a three-spiritual root cultivator, her cultivation talent was relatively average. She did not break through the ninth level of Qi Refining until she was fifty years old. Among the dozen or so three-spiritual root cultivators in the family, her cultivation speed is relatively slow.
Because of her quiet personality, Song Yuanxue is not like most of the cultivators in the Song family who like to go out to hunt monsters and manage the family business. On the contrary, she likes to hide quietly in the family's spiritual medicine garden alone, researching and cultivating various spiritual herbs and spiritual medicines. She chose to practice the spiritual plant master's cultivation skill early.
Like Song Xinde, Song Yuanxue is also a very patient person. Even though she failed to cultivate more than a dozen times in a row and wasted a lot of spiritual stones, she still relied on her persistence for more than ten years to study and cultivate second-level spiritual medicines. Finally, she successfully harvested the harvest and became a second-level spiritual plant master.
After checking that there was no problem with the transplanted spiritual fruit tree for the time being, Song Yuanxue walked out of the spiritual medicine garden with confidence. However, before she could rest for a while, a teenage boy not far away suddenly ran towards her.
"Aunt Yuanxue, the ancestor Qingyu just sent a message to ask you to go to the top of the mountain."
Song Yuanxue was a little surprised to hear that the family's foundation-building ancestor was looking for her. She quickly tidied up her appearance and quickly came to the cave of Song Qingyu on the top of the mountain.
Seeing that the door of Song Qingyu's cave was closed, Song Yuanxue did not dare to knock on the door directly. After sending a sound transmission note into the cave, she stood there honestly, waiting for the summons of the family ancestor.
After a while, the door of the cave finally opened, but what surprised Song Yuanxue was that the person who came out was not Song Qingyu, but Song Changze with a calm face.
"Changze, why are you here too?"
"Aunt Yuanxue, the ancestor just asked me to talk about something. It's over. She's still waiting for you inside. I'll go back first!" Song Changze said, smiled and bowed to Song Yuanxue, and then slowly left here.
After taking a look at Song Changze's somewhat lonely back, Song Yuanxue, who was standing in the same place, was also puzzled. She shook her head in confusion and walked quickly into Song Qingyu's cave.
Half an hour later, Song Yuanxue, who had withdrawn from Song Qingyu's cave, came alone to a huge rock beside the top of the mountain and carefully took out a small jade box from her storage bag.
"This is really the foundation-building pill. I'm not dreaming!" Looking at the golden pill in the jade box, Song Yuanxue slowly believed what had just happened and quickly put the foundation-building pill in her hand back into the storage bag.
After practicing for decades, she finally reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. However, because of her average talent, Song Yuanxue never dared to have too many extravagant hopes for foundation building. In recent years, she has also devoted herself to the substitute spirit plant technique, wanting to learn from her elder Song Xinde to take a different path and improve her immortal cultivation skills to be recognized by the family.
Unexpectedly, her persistence finally paid off. Not only did she successfully break through the skills of cultivating immortals, but she also won an opportunity to build a foundation for herself. This also made Song Yuanxue very excited.
Seeing that Song Yuanli and Song Yuanfang, two brothers of the Yuan generation, had built their foundations one after another, Song Yuanxue was naturally extremely envious of them in her heart over the years. However, she suffered from her average talent for cultivation and had never been an outstanding person in the family, so it was difficult for her to get much support from the family.
This time, when she was summoned by Song Qingyu, the ancestor of the family, many possible things flashed through Song Yuanxue's mind, but she never thought that she would get support from the family to build a foundation. Thinking of Song Qingyu's patient and kind guidance on some preparations to be done before building a foundation in the cave, Song Yuanxue felt like she was in a dream.
Taking advantage of the breeze on the top of the mountain to calm her excitement, Song Yuanxue stood on the top of the mountain for the first time to appreciate the scenery below the mountain. After a while, a trace of intoxication appeared on her face again.
"The scenery here is really beautiful!"
