Chapter 526: Golden Abyss
Chen Jinliang had cultivated to the seventh level of the Golden Core before his death. The technique he left behind was called "Jinyuan Jue", which was a complete Golden Core technique that could be cultivated to the ninth level of the Golden Core.
"Jinyuan Jue" is more suitable for the cultivation of gold and water attribute spiritual roots. The several secret techniques and magical powers included in it are not bad, and are no worse than the "Five Elements Xuan Gang Jue" that Song Qingming is currently practicing.
After obtaining the "Jinyuan Jue", the Song family can be regarded as having its own Golden Core technique. In the future, whether Song Qingyu or Huang Siyuan can successfully form a pill, they can directly switch to this technique and no longer have to worry about the subsequent techniques.
The reason why Song Qingming was willing to take the risk of his own life and choose to intervene in Tuoyun Mountain's affairs was mainly for the Golden Core technique left by Chen Jinliang.
The Song family has only been a Jindan family for more than 20 years. The family only has foundation-building techniques, and there is no Jindan technique above level 3. In terms of technique inheritance, let alone comparing with the Jindan cultivation family like the Ma family, which has been around for hundreds of years, even the Tuoyun Mountain foundation before the accident was much stronger than the Song family now.
In addition to this "Jinyuan Jue", another volume of alchemy experience left by Chen Jinliang also records most of his alchemy experience during his lifetime, including several level 3 recipes and many level 1 and 2 recipes that are hard to find on the market.
In addition to having reached the late Jindan stage, Chen Jinliang is also a very rare level 3 lower-grade alchemist. Although the alchemy experience he left behind is not as good as the inheritance of a large sect like Xiaoyao Sect, it is enough to make Jindan forces like the Song family excited.
Seeing this volume of alchemy experience in his hand, Song Qingming was also ecstatic. The highest level of the Song family in terms of cultivation skills is only level 2 upper-grade, and there is no skill inheritance above level 3.
Moreover, what he got this time was the most precious alchemy inheritance among all the immortal cultivation skills. With this volume of alchemy experience left by Chen Jinliang, the Song family will surely develop rapidly in alchemy skills in the future, and the family will no longer have to worry about the difficulty in cultivating talents in alchemy.
After getting these two things, Song Qingming immediately rushed back to Funiu Mountain and passed the "Jinyuan Jue" he had just obtained directly to Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, who were not far from forming a pill.
Then Song Qingming put the "Jinyuan Jue" Qi Refining and Foundation Building Period techniques, as well as Chen Jinliang's volume of alchemy experience, directly into the family's gold storage pavilion for all the cultivators of the Song family to circulate and study.
All the precious cultivation techniques and immortal cultivation skills in the family's gold storage pavilion, whether it is the Song family cultivators or those trusted guests from the outer sect of the Song family, can enter the gold storage pavilion to exchange what they want if they have family merits.
This kind of good deeds model was also learned by the Song family from the Good Deeds Pavilion of Xiaoyao Sect a long time ago. It not only allows every member of the clan to fairly choose the spiritual objects and skills they need, but also makes it convenient for the family to use good deeds to manage and recycle the spiritual stones in the hands of the clan members.
When the Song family was still weak, there were not many precious skills collected in the Golden Pavilion. Basically, they were some Qi Refining skills that were not worth much on the market. There was only one "Red Flame Jue" passed down by the ancestor of the family for the skills above the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Therefore, the Song family's Golden Pavilion had a looser control over the inheritance of skills at that time. As long as you want to learn, all the Qi Refining skills in the Golden Pavilion can basically be copied at will.
But now that the family has become stronger, there are more and more rare and precious skills in the family's Golden Pavilion. After several generations of cultivators, the Song family has also greatly strengthened the control of the inheritance of skills in the family's Golden Pavilion.
For example, Song Qingming had just obtained the "Golden Abyss Jue" and Chen Jinliang's volume of alchemy experience. For such precious skills, only the skills of the Qi Refining Stage were placed in the hall of the Golden Pavilion, and more merits were required to be exchanged for reading and copying than for other ordinary skills.
For skills above the Foundation Establishment Stage and pill recipes above Level 2, at least one elder of the family at the Foundation Establishment Stage or above must agree before they can be exchanged and copied out of the Golden Pavilion. As for the most important Golden Pill Stage skills and those precious Level 3 pill recipes, they must be personally agreed by the clan leader Song Qingming.
After placing these two important skills in the family's Golden Pavilion, Song Qingming also solemnly instructed Song Yuanfang, who was in charge of the family's secular things, to strictly control the copying of these skills by the family cultivators in the future. All family cultivators must use enough family merits to copy them out, and it is strictly forbidden to teach these important core skills of the family to outsiders.
After obtaining the Jindan stage technique "Jinyuan Jue", Song Qingyu was also very happy. She immediately decided not to rush to form a golden elixir. After successfully switching to this technique, she would try to condense a golden elixir.
Song Qingming had no opinion on this. Although Song Qingyu's cultivation level had only reached the ninth level of foundation building, the technique she was practicing now was relatively ordinary. She was not sure if she could succeed in forming a golden elixir rashly. If she spent more time to switch to and complete the "Jinyuan Jue", she would have a slightly higher chance of forming a golden elixir in the future.
In addition to Song Qingming, the Jindan patriarch, among the five foundation-building cultivators in the Song family, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan had already reached the late stage of foundation building. At present, they both had some hope of forming a golden elixir. They both had spiritual roots that matched the "Jinyuan Jue" and were more suitable for this set of techniques.
After Song Qingyu got the "Golden Abyss Art", he chose to switch to this art immediately. Huang Siyuan wanted to practice to the ninth level of foundation building faster, so she was not in a hurry to switch to another art. The art she was practicing now was not much worse than the "Golden Abyss Art", and she could wait until she formed a pill before switching to another art.
Song Yuanli was a cultivator with both fire and wood spiritual roots, so he was not suitable for practicing the "Golden Abyss Art". Although the "Red Flame Art" inherited from his family was also a good art, there were only foundation building art in the Song family's gold pavilion. If Song Yuanli could succeed in forming a pill by chance in the future, he would need to find a way to find a golden pill art.
Song Yuanfang and Song Yuanxue both had average cultivation talents. At present, with their cultivation speed, they could only practice to the late stage of foundation building in this life. Even if they switched to the "Golden Abyss Art" now, it would be difficult for them to form a pill.
Song Qingming did not give them much advice on this. It was up to them to decide whether to switch to a new cultivation method. After all, every cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation has his own chance of success. Even if their hope of forming a pill is smaller than others, there is still a chance of miracles.
Knowing that Song Qingming had decided to participate in Tuoyun Mountain, the several foundation-building elders of the Song family did not have any objections. The Song family now has absolute authority in places like Qinghe County. Even if Song Qingming left the family for more than ten years, it would not have much impact.
After staying in Funiushan for a few days, Song Qingming returned to Tuoyun Mountain with Huang Siyuan and a dozen Qi-refining cultivators from the family.
On Tuoyun Mountain, since the gate was breached by the Ma family a few months ago, the number of cultivators has suddenly decreased a lot. In addition to the more than 200 trusted disciples led by Zhang Rong and Lin Yutang, there are only three foundation-building casual cultivators who live in the caves and hundreds of Qi-refining casual cultivators who have been here for many years.
In addition to the monks on the mountain, there are also tens of thousands of mortals at the foot of Tuoyun Mountain. Most of these mortals are relatives and descendants of the monks on the mountain, and they live here all year round.
The situation on Tuoyun Mountain is now several times more depressed than when Song Qingming first came. The overall strength of the monks on the mountain has declined to the point that they are a little tight even in dealing with the monsters that make trouble nearby.
When Chen Jinliang was still there, the situation on Tuoyun Mountain was as stable as Mount Tai. There were dozens of foundation-building monks who rented caves all year round on the mountain. There were basically few monsters within a radius of dozens of miles of Tuoyun Mountain.
When it came to Feng Yangde, except for the time when they experienced the monster turmoil, the monks on Tuoyun Mountain felt a lot of pressure. On weekdays, it was okay, and few monsters dared to approach the Tuoyun Mountain protection formation.
After Song Qingming arrived at Tuoyun Mountain, he immediately organized the monks on the mountain to sweep away the monsters near Tuoyun Mountain, and soon stabilized the people's hearts on the mountain.
A month later, Xiaoyao Sect sent another large flying boat, carrying more than 100 cultivators and a large amount of supplies. With the cooperation of the cultivators on the mountain, the Tuoyun Mountain Market, which had become a ruin, was quickly rebuilt.
With Song Qingming, a Jindan cultivator, in charge, and Xiaoyao Sect already rebuilding the Tuoyun Mountain Market, many casual cultivators who had previously fled Tuoyun Mountain immediately moved their caves back to Tuoyun Mountain after hearing the news.
Half a year later, when Tuoyun Mountain Market began to operate steadily, the number of casual cultivators on the mountain had increased several times. It is estimated that in another one or two years, Tuoyun Mountain will be able to return to its pre-war state.
Because the Song family occupies 20% of the shares of Tuoyun Mountain Market, as long as the market returns to normal operation, it can get nearly a thousand spirit stones from it every year, which is also a considerable income for the current Song family.
In addition, the Song family also rented several shops in the market, and brought the family's elixirs, magic tools, and unique spiritual wine businesses directly to Tuoyun Mountain.
With Song Qingming, the Jindan ancestor, in charge, the reputation of the Song family's shops was naturally guaranteed, and the business of the shops was obviously better than other similar shops in the surrounding area.
However, compared with the business of Xiaoyao Sect, the spiritual stones that the Song family could earn from several shops in Tuoyun Mountain Market were nothing compared to the big ones.
Xiaoyao Sect operated more than a dozen large shops in Tuoyun Mountain Market, almost monopolizing more than half of the business in the entire market. With more and more independent cultivators in Tuoyun Mountain, Xiaoyao Sect also made a lot of money here. In addition to the shares of the market they occupied, Xiaoyao Sect could earn at least nearly 10,000 spiritual stones from Tuoyun Mountain every year.
