Chapter 542 What the Fire Phoenix Needs
As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, the mysterious Gray Crane Demon King standing in front of him suddenly changed shape and transformed into a larger gray giant bird. It was Song Qingming's old acquaintance, the Dragon Wind Demon King.
"Haha! I just revealed a little flaw, and you guessed my identity. It seems that you are getting smarter and smarter."
Seeing Long Feng's true form, Song Qingming was slightly surprised. They had not seen each other for more than 30 years since the formation of the elixir. Long Feng's cultivation has now reached a higher level. He has broken through to the late stage of the golden elixir and become a great demon king.
At the beginning of Tuoyun Mountain, Song Qingming always felt that the Gray Crane Demon King in front of him was a little strange, but he did not recognize that he was the transformed Long Feng.
It was not until the two fought that Long Feng used a golden shield in front of Song Qingming that Song Qingming realized the other party's identity.
When Song Qingming asked Long Feng for help to strengthen the magic weapon "Green Water Bell" with silver sandstone, he had seen this golden shield in his cave, so he naturally had some impression of it.
Seeing that the magic skills of the gray crane in front of him were somewhat similar to Long Feng's, and there was this golden shield on his body, Song Qingming immediately guessed that the strange demon king who suddenly appeared in front of him should be his old acquaintance Long Feng who he had not seen for many years.
Otherwise, with Song Qingming's cautious character, if he had not been absolutely sure of guessing Long Feng's identity, he would not have chased here without hesitation in the face of a strange demon king.
"I didn't expect that after not seeing you for such a long time, you have already broken through to the late Jindan stage. I would like to congratulate you first."
Hearing Song Qingming's flattering words, Long Feng was very happy. He laughed and said, "Hehe! After so many years, your mouth has not changed, but your strength has indeed improved very quickly. I guess Qingluan may not be able to beat you in a few years."
Seeing Long Feng mention Qingluan, who has a bad temper, Song Qingming's face changed immediately, and he said modestly with some embarrassment:
"Senior, please don't praise me like this. If Senior Qingluan hears it, I will offend her again. I don't know how you know I'm here. Is there anything you want to see me for?"
"Your Highness wants to see you. Come with me!" Long Feng suddenly put away the smile on his face, and his tone became a little serious. He turned around and walked slowly towards the side of the mountain top.
Hearing Long Feng say this, Song Qingming's face did not show much surprise. From the moment he recognized Long Feng's identity, Song Qingming had actually guessed in his heart that the other party was very likely to come with Huo Feng's order.
Otherwise, with Long Feng's ability alone, it would be difficult for him to know that he was now in Tuoyun Mountain.
But if it was Huo Feng, it would be different. Her cultivation was unfathomable and she could already transform into a human form. She even dared to mix directly in Qinghefang. It was just a simple thing for Huo Feng to find out where he was.
After walking forward for a while with Long Feng, the two came to a cave on the other side of the mountain top. Just after walking in for a dozen feet, Song Qingming saw a fiery red figure from a distance, sitting on a stone platform and meditating with his eyes closed.
"Your Highness, Song Qingming is here." Seeing that Huo Feng closed her eyes and seemed not to notice the two people who came in, Long Feng came to her and reminded her again.
When Song Qingming saw Huo Feng for the first time, he was slightly surprised. After not seeing Huo Feng for so many years, his cultivation had improved a lot. The aura and pressure he exuded was not much different from Li Mufeng, who was also a Yuanying stage cultivator.
In the past, Song Qingming could not see the depth of Huo Feng's cultivation because his own cultivation was too low. This time, because his cultivation had broken through the Jindan stage, Song Qingming finally saw that Huo Feng's true cultivation had reached the second level of Yuanying.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Song Qingming walked in front of Huo Feng, quickly put on a smile, and bowed respectfully on the spot.
After a while, Huo Feng slightly opened his eyes, glanced at Song Qingming, and slowly said: "Your cultivation is good and you have made some progress. I always thought that your cultivation talent was average. It seems that I still underestimated you!"
"Haha! Your Highness, you are joking. Compared with you, my little cultivation is like a firefly competing with the bright moon. It is really not worth mentioning. If I hadn't been fortunate enough to benefit from your Highness, I am afraid that I would still be a small foundation-building cultivator and would not be able to embark on the Golden Elixir Road.
Your Highness has helped me with my cultivation. Qingming will never forget it in this life, but I will do my best to repay your kindness to the best of my ability."
"Yes! It's good that you still remember these. I supported you to form a pill because I saw that you could be of some use to me in the future. Otherwise, no matter how nice your words are, I would not waste so many spiritual objects and thoughts on you." Regardless of whether Song Qingming liked to hear it or not, Huo Feng still pointed out his original purpose in person.
Song Qingming was naturally clear about this. Ever since he was first captured by Qingluan and brought to Huofeng, Huofeng had always used him directly. However, Huofeng, the demon king, was relatively honest and had not done anything to Song Qingming.
Although she was a high-ranking demon cultivator with a respected status, Huofeng's character was much better than that of ordinary human cultivators. Otherwise, Song Qingming would not have been able to live well until now and achieve success in cultivation and break through to the Golden Core Realm.
The only thing that made Song Qingming uncomfortable was that Huofeng's temper was always weird and difficult to figure out. Every time he stood beside her, Song Qingming always felt an invisible pressure, fearing that he would say something wrong and cause her displeasure.
"Your Highness is right. I have been practicing hard these years to improve my strength as quickly as possible and strive to be more useful to you. I dare not disappoint your expectations."
Seeing the embarrassment on Song Qingming's face, Huo Feng smiled slightly. Without saying anything more, he asked Song Qingming directly.
"I heard that you have become a Jindan elder of Xiaoyao Sect!"
Song Qingming nodded slightly and answered honestly: "I was born in a family of immortals and was originally affiliated with Xiaoyao Sect. After my cultivation broke through the Jindan, they directly invited me to join the sect as a guest elder."
"What is a guest elder? Your human sect really has many rules." Huo Feng showed a trace of doubt on his face.
"This guest elder is not a formal elder of Xiaoyao Sect, but..."
Seeing that Song Qingming wanted to explain his previous question in detail, Huo Feng interrupted him quickly before he finished speaking.
"Okay! I don't want to know about your broken rules. I came to you this time because I want you to find a way to help me get something from Xiaoyao Sect. This thing should not be precious to them. No matter what kind of elder you are there, it should not be a difficult thing."
"Whatever your highness wants, no matter whether Xiaoyao Sect has it or not, as long as I can do it, I will definitely find a way to fulfill your wish."
Hearing the assurance in Song Qingming's tone, Huo Feng looked at him meaningfully and slowly said, "I know there is a scroll about the Tower of Babel in Xiaoyao Sect. This thing is useful to me. You go there and find a way to copy it for me."
"Tower of Babel?" Hearing what Huo Feng wanted, Song Qingming couldn't help but show a little surprise on his face.
Hearing that Huo Feng wanted him to go to Xiaoyao Sect to help her get something, Song Qingming quickly thought of many possibilities in his mind, but he didn't expect that what Huo Feng wanted was the scroll about "Tower of Babel" that he had just burned from the sect not long ago.
This was really a coincidence. Song Qingming did not expect that the request made by Huo Feng this time would be so simple for him now.
"Why, you also know about the Babel Tower?" Seeing that Song Qingming's face seemed a little wrong, Huo Feng asked sharply.
Song Qingming shook his head slightly and said, "Your Highness, I have indeed heard some people talk about the Babel Tower, but I don't know much. I just know that it seems to be an ancient secret place that opens only once every few hundred years."
Although the note about the "Babel Tower" was on him, in order to show his "efforts", Song Qingming did not take it out and hand it to Huo Feng directly, and could only pretend that he was not very clear about these things.
"Well! You have just joined Xiaoyao Sect, it is normal that you don't know. This thing I taught you should not be a difficult thing for you now." Huo Feng narrowed his eyes and asked again.
Hearing this, Song Qingming quickly responded calmly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will go to Xiaoyao Sect right away. As long as the thing is still in the sect, no matter how much it costs, I will definitely find a way to get it for you."
"Well! I like to hear this, you go first, I'll wait for your news!"
After Song Qingming left the cave with a confident look, Huo Feng turned his head and looked at Long Feng on the side, and said happily: "This kid agreed quite readily this time, I thought he was going to complain to me again!"
"Haha! Don't worry, Your Highness, although Song Qingming is a little cunning, he is also a person who knows how to repay kindness. His character is much better than those despicable human cultivators. Your Highness cares about him so much, it is his blessing to be able to serve Your Highness." Hearing Huo Feng's words, Long Feng immediately replied with a smile.
"In this world of immortal cultivation, whether it is the demon race or the human race, there is always a lack of insidious, cunning, hypocritical and despicable people. People with good character tend to not live long!"
After Huo Feng muttered to himself softly, he calmed down and closed his eyes, and continued to meditate and practice.
