Chapter 528 Liu Zongping
Hearing Song Qingming's sudden words, many foundation-building cultivators on the flying boat instantly became nervous and took out their magic weapons.
Although Chu Fengping's cultivation was higher than Song Qingming's, his spiritual awareness was still slightly inferior to Song Qingming's. Seeing that Song Qingming seemed to have discovered the abnormality in front of him a little earlier, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.
"Junior Brother Song, let's go over and take a look at the situation first, and the others will stay here."
After giving an order to the foundation-building cultivators beside them, Chu Fengping and Song Qingming left the flying boat alone and walked forward on the clouds.
After Song Qingming and the others flew forward for a few miles, they soon saw a huge strange fish monster appearing on the lake in front of them, chasing a relatively small human cultivator.
This monster was very large, and its body that jumped out of the water was more than ten feet tall. Its cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and it was already a dominant Golden Core Demon King.
The human cultivator being chased by the demon king had a relatively lower cultivation level. Like Song Qingming, he was also an early Jindan cultivator. He was much inferior to the demon king in both cultivation and magical powers.
Being chased by the demon king who had a much higher cultivation level than him, the man had tried several ways to escape. As a result, because his body movement and escape speed were far inferior to that of the demon king, he was caught up and entangled by it before he ran far. He had a lot of injuries on his body and the situation did not look good!
"Junior Brother Song, judging from his clothes, he seems to be from the Xingchen Sect. This is already the edge of Taiyue Lake. How could such a powerful demon king appear here? It's strange!"
After Chu Fengping and Song Qingming stood there and watched for a while, they quickly recognized that the Taoist robes worn by the other party were embroidered with several star symbols unique to the Xingchen Sect.
Before Song Qingming could reply, the Xingchen Sect cultivator quickly spotted the two of them not far away. Seeing his savior, he quickly changed direction and fled towards Song Qingming and Chu Fengping.
"My two Taoist friends, I am Liu Zongping from Xingchen Sect. Please help me out. I will never forget your kindness today after I escape."
After Song Qingming and Chu Fengping looked at each other, they immediately turned into two golden lights and rushed up. While their figures were still in the air, the magic weapons on Song Qingming and Chu Fengping's bodies automatically flew out and attacked the demon king who was chasing Liu Zongping from different directions.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Song Qingming and Chu Fengping, the demon king was also a little surprised. He quickly stabilized his body, gave up chasing Liu Zongping, and turned around to deal with Song Qingming and Chu Fengping who had already attacked him.
When the magic weapons of the two fell a few feet in front of the demon king, they encountered the transparent shield cast by the demon king. After a few loud "bangs", the transparent shield was quickly shattered by Song Qingming and the others.
Seeing this, the demon king hiding behind the shield had already moved his huge body quickly and retreated before the shield was broken, without suffering any damage.
"This is already the territory of the human race, don't be so arrogant, get back to the lake!" Chu Fengping shouted angrily in the air, took back his own magic weapon, and began to stir up his mana to prepare for the next round of attack.
Although the joint attack of the two did not cause any substantial damage to the demon king, it still successfully forced its body back, making the demon king feel that Song Qingming and the others were not easy to deal with.
Liu Zongming, who had just escaped from heaven, saw that Song Qingming and the others had already taken action, and immediately turned his shield light back and rushed back to Chu Fengping's side to face the demon king with the two of them.
Seeing the reinforcements coming from the human race, the demon king knew that he had no confidence in defeating the other party. After roaring a few times in a bit of reluctance, he still chose not to continue attacking Song Qingming and the other two. With a loud bang, he sank into the water and left.
Seeing the demon king retreating on his own initiative, Song Qingming and Chu Fengping put away their respective magic weapons and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the three of them joined forces to defeat the demon king who was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core, the fighting in Taiyue Lake was too noisy and it was easy to attract other demon kings. Once the powerful demon kings in the lake were alarmed, it would be difficult for them to retreat today.
Knowing that they were not very sure that they could keep the other party for a short time, they did not want to fight with the other party here and cause other troubles. It was enough to force the demon king to retreat head-on.
"Thank you for your courtesy, fellow Taoists. I am Liu Zongping from Xingchen Sect. Thank you for your help today. I wonder which sect you two are from. Could you please leave your name so that I can remember your kindness in the future?" Chu Fengping bowed and said, "Haha! Daoist Liu is too polite. Junior Brother Song and I are both disciples of Xiaoyao Sect. We just happened to pass by here today on our way to Wu State. It is fate that I can help you on the way!"
Hearing that Chu Fengping and Song Qingming were going to Wu, Liu Zongping immediately smiled and said loudly: "So you are fellow Daoists from Xiaoyao Sect. I was really disrespectful just now. It is fate that you two Daoists are going to Wu. I am also going back to the sect, so why not go together? When we get to the sect market, I will help you two Daoists to find the way, which can also save you two some trouble."
"That's good, then trouble you Daoist Liu!" Chu Fengping glanced at Song Qingming and immediately nodded and agreed.
Although Weiguo Xiaoyao Sect and Wuguo Xingchen Sect are far apart, there is no conflict or hatred between the two sects. There has always been some friendship between the two sects. There are often some trade exchanges on spiritual objects. Xiaoyao Sect's Jindan cultivators occasionally go to Wu, which has richer cultivation resources, to purchase spiritual objects.
This time, the two of them happened to save Liu Zongping. If they went to the Seven Stars Square of Wu Kingdom next, Song Qingming and others would definitely be much smoother if he took the initiative to help lead the way. The two of them agreed without thinking too much.
When they returned to the flying boat, Song Qingyu and others were slightly surprised to see Liu Zongping, who was covered in wounds and a little downcast. After Liu Zongping took the initiative to explain, everyone understood the whole story.
The reason why Liu Zongping was chased by the demon king was actually because he had just returned from a trip to another country and was about to return to Xingchen Gate. When he passed by Taiyue Lake, he happened to see a good-quality second-level spiritual medicine on a small island below.
Liu Zongping had just picked the spiritual medicine and had not had time to be happy, but he was immediately targeted by the demon king just now, which led to Song Qingming and others seeing this scene just now.
After boarding Liu Zongping, the flying boat, under the control of Song Qingming and Chu Fengping's wheel tower, quickly bypassed Taiyue Lake and entered the territory of Wu Kingdom.
With Liu Zongping, the elder of the Star Sect, accompanying them, the flying boat soon stopped in a market in the north of Wu after entering the country. Under the guidance of Liu Zongping, Song Qingming and others took the long-distance teleportation array in the market and arrived directly at the Seven Stars Square.
"Two Taoist friends, I just came back and have some trivial matters to attend to. I will not delay your purchase of spiritual objects. I will come to Guyang Pavilion to find you two Taoist friends after I finish my work in two days."
"Please do as you please!"
After bidding farewell to Liu Zongping, Chu Fengping and Song Qingming took everyone to Guyang Pavilion to settle down. After a night's rest, everyone came to the broad streets of the Seven Stars Square the next day.
Because it was their first time in Wu, Huang Siyuan, Song Changze and other foundation-building cultivators were also somewhat shocked by the prosperity of the large market of the Seven Stars Square. The spiritual medicines that were rarely seen in many markets in Weiguo on weekdays were not only everywhere in Wuguo, but also much cheaper than those in Weiguo.
In recent years, the Yinfengling Mine and Tuoyunshan Market invested by the Song family have begun to generate stable income, and the family's financial situation has improved suddenly. In addition, after being promoted to a Jindan family, they can also receive offerings from many immortal cultivation families in Qinghe and Pingyang counties every year. In the past ten years, the Song family has accumulated a lot of spiritual stones in the treasury of the Golden Pavilion.
The improvement of the family's financial situation has also made many cultivators of the Song family richer. This time when they came to Wu, the Song family's foundation-building cultivators each brought a lot of spiritual stones.
Among the few people, Huang Siyuan has the most spiritual stones. Because she has advanced to the second-level alchemist in recent years, the spiritual stones earned by alchemy alone in the family for more than ten years have exceeded more than 20,000 spiritual stones. Now Huang Siyuan has become the richest elder of the Song family except Song Qingming.
After walking around the streets of Qixingfang, several foundation-building cultivators of the Song family were dazzled by the sights. They wanted to take back all the spiritual objects they liked in the market, and lamented that they still brought a little less spiritual stones this time.
Seeing their appearance, Song Qingming could only smile and shake his head. Being in Weiguo, where the cultivation resources were relatively poor, did hinder the vision of many cultivators of the Song family. It was indeed a very correct decision to bring them out to see the world this time.
It has been more than ten years since Song Qingming's cultivation broke through the second level of the golden elixir, and there is still a distance from the third level of the golden elixir. If he wants to break through his cultivation quickly, the cultivation resources that can be exchanged in the Good Merit Pavilion of the Xiaoyao Sect are very limited, and he still needs to come out to find other elixirs that can help improve his cultivation.
This time, Song Qingming came to Wuguo with Chu Fengping. The main purpose of Song Qingming was similar to theirs. He also wanted to purchase a batch of elixir spiritual objects needed for his own cultivation, and to help Song Qingyu find a elixir spiritual object.
In recent years, Song Qingming has been in charge of Tuoyun Mountain. In addition to daily cultivation, he often takes time to draw some second-level spiritual talismans and refine second-level formations.
Most of these spiritual objects were sold by the Song family cultivators in various markets in the north of Weiguo, and a small number were directly taken by Song Qingming to the Xiaoyao Sect's Good Merit Pavilion and exchanged for Good Merit Spirit Stones.
