Chapter 596: Nine Palace Meteor Escape Celebration Preaching (Combined Chapter)
After Song Qingming entered the third floor of the "Tongtian Tower" and met Xuantian that day, Song Qingming accepted his test and obtained the "Tongtian Wanling Jue".
According to Xuantian, this technique was created by the original owner of the "Tongtian Tower" and has been placed in the tower for selecting people to inherit it for tens of thousands of years.
If you want to pass the test and get the inheritance left by this predecessor, you must practice the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" technique to the late stage of the Nascent Soul.
Two months ago, after Song Qingming finished refining the "Cui Ling Zhen Shui", he began to try to practice this set of techniques.
Although he had expected that this test would not be so easy, when Song Qingming began to practice the "Tongtian Wanling Jue", he was still shocked by this somewhat weird technique.
Unlike other ordinary techniques that Song Qingming had practiced, when practicing the "Tongtian Wanling Jue", Song Qingming followed the designated acupoints in the technique and circulated the mana in his body to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.
At first, it was fine, and there was nothing unusual.
But as time went on, Song Qingming slowly felt that the mana in his body was getting heavier and heavier, and the speed of operation began to decrease.
At first, although Song Qingming felt some pressure because of the heavy mana in his body, he could still continue to practice.
After about half an hour, the mana in Song Qingming's body was like a thousand-pound boulder, completely blocked in his meridians and acupoints, and it was difficult to continue to flow, and the pressure on Song Qingming slowly reached the limit.
At this time, Song Qingming's accumulated mana in his body could not flow out in time, but the spiritual energy around him was still passing through several spiritual acupoints on Song Qingming's body and quickly entering his body.
More and more mana was blocked and accumulated in the body, and the meridians and spiritual acupoints in various places had reached their limits. Continuing to practice forcefully would inevitably lead to the destruction of his own meridians and spiritual acupoints, and he could only give up and stop the flow of mana in his body.
It has been more than two months since he started practicing "Tongtian Wanling Jue".
If it were an ordinary technique, Song Qingming, who had already become a Jindan cultivator, would have probably already practiced the Qi Refining Technique to perfection and was ready to enter the foundation-building stage of the technique.
But because every time he tried to practice the "Tongtian Wanling Jue", Song Qingming could only persist for more than half an hour at most. After two months, the technique had not yet entered the late stage of Qi Refining, which was indeed beyond Song Qingming's previous expectations.
"This technique has already made me, a Jindan cultivator, feel uncomfortable after practicing it to the Qi Refining Stage. It is hard to imagine what it will be like after practicing it to the Nascent Soul Stage.
It is strange that in the past ten thousand years, so many gifted Nascent Soul predecessors have not been able to successfully practice this technique to the late Nascent Soul stage. Sure enough, the inheritance test left by an ascended cultivator is not so easy to complete.
Although the practice speed is not as fast as I imagined, fortunately, after practicing this technique, the mana in my body has become much stronger, which is indeed very mysterious."
After muttering to himself, Song Qingming slowly put away his mana and stood up.
From the beginning when he accepted this test taught by Xuantian, Song Qingming knew that his talent was limited and it might be difficult to complete this test, so he did not have too much hope for this matter.
However, practicing the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" technique can also make his mana in his body much stronger, which is indeed useful to Song Qingming and worth spending some time to practice.
As for whether he could successfully practice the "Tongtian Wanling Jue" to the late Jindan stage and obtain the subsequent skills through Xuantian's test when the "Tongtian Tower" was opened next time in three hundred years.
Song Qingming did not have much confidence in this matter now, so he could only take it one step at a time.
After sitting aside and resting for a while, Song Qingming took out a bamboo slip with the skills recorded from his storage magic tool and opened it to examine it carefully.
The bamboo slip in Song Qingming's hand was a secret technique called "Nine Palace Meteor Escape", which was one of the three volumes of secret techniques he selected from the third floor of the "Tongtian Tower".
This is a very rare escape technique that can be combined with the Nine Palaces array.
Practicing the secret technique of "Nine Palace Meteor Escape" can not only improve the cultivator's own escape speed, but also allow a late Jindan cultivator to have an escape speed comparable to that of a Yuanying cultivator in a short period of time after the technique is perfected.
When Song Qingming saw this secret technique, he was instantly attracted. Without much consideration, he quickly chose this secret technique.
He himself majored in the art of formation, so it would be much easier for him to practice the secret technique of "Nine Palaces Meteor Escape" than others.
In addition, this secret technique can greatly improve the speed of the cultivator after practicing it, and can greatly enhance his own means of life-saving, which is indeed what Song Qingming wants now.
If he can practice the secret technique of "Nine Palaces Meteor Escape" to perfection as soon as possible, when he meets a late Jindan strongman like Ma Wuchen in the future, even if he cannot defeat the opponent, it should not be a big problem for him to escape, and he will not have to be as embarrassed as before.
In addition to the "Nine Palaces Meteor Escape", Song Qingming chose two other bamboo slips on the third floor of the "Tongtian Pavilion". They were a technique for the Nascent Soul stage and a life-saving substitute technique that could be used once at a critical moment.
Although Song Qingming's current cultivation level is only the third level of the Golden Core, he has no plans to switch to a new technique. The reason why he chose the Nascent Soul stage technique is actually more for his future breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.
As for the other life-saving substitute technique, although it is also a very useful technique, he still needs to find a relatively rare spiritual object to assist him in normal practice, so he can only put it aside for the time being.
Therefore, Song Qingming, except for the "Nine Palaces Meteor Escape" in his hand, he can't use the other two techniques on the bamboo slips at present.
These techniques and secrets brought from Xuantian, as well as the complete cultivation experience of the Nascent Soul cultivator that Song Qingming obtained when he passed the first level test of the "Tongtian Tower", are also the great gains Song Qingming got from his trip to the "Tongtian Tower".
Although these techniques and cultivation experience cannot be traded and passed on to others, and their value cannot be measured and estimated with spirit stones, their importance to Song Qingming is definitely no less than other spiritual objects he has obtained before.
After Song Qingming had been in seclusion in the cave for a month, Funiu Mountain began to become lively.
This time, the Song family held a foundation-building celebration that was obviously more grand than before. Many people who received the invitation had already rushed to Funiu Mountain four or five days in advance.
Fortunately, the Song family was well prepared this time. They recalled many cultivators from outside early, arranged the celebration venue a few days in advance, and prepared all kinds of spiritual objects needed early.
After receiving the specific date of the celebration, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan rushed back to Funiushan more than half a month in advance to help Song Yuanfang and others prepare for the celebration.
On the day of the celebration, hundreds of cultivators from all over the place had already arrived at Funiushan.
Most of them were vassals of the Song family, family cultivators from Qinghe and Pingyang counties, and there were also many independent cultivators in these two places.
On Tuoyun Mountain, after Lin Yutang and his fellow disciples learned about the Song family's celebration, they also traveled thousands of miles to Funiushan and presented their carefully prepared gifts.
Because they knew that there would be more cultivators coming, Song Yuanli had already divided the celebration location into two places in advance.
Those Qi-refining cultivators who came to join in the fun were basically arranged to sit a little further away. Only guests with a cultivation level above the foundation-building stage could sit near the venue.
Sitting in the main venue, Song Qingming looked at the dozens of foundation-building cultivators who were already sitting below, and his face showed a bit of satisfaction.
It is not an easy thing to gather so many foundation-building cultivators together. This also indirectly proves that the influence of the Song family has increased a lot compared to when it was just promoted to the Jindan Immortal Clan.
In addition to Song Qingming, the Jindan ancestor, the Song family now has seven foundation-building cultivators and two hundred Qi-refining cultivators. There are already more than a dozen foundation-building families under the Song family.
Although the family foundation is still not as good as the Ma family of Tiexianbao at its peak and Tuoyun Mountain when Chen Jinliang was still there, the current Song family is almost qualified as a Jindan force.
Just when everyone was greeting each other at the celebration venue, another golden light rushed from the distant horizon outside Funiu Mountain.
A moment later, a white flying boat landed above the venue, and more than a dozen cultivators dressed in Xiaoyao Sect costumes fell from above. Among them, three Jindan cultivators emitting a thin layer of golden light were Chu Fengping, Zhao Menglian and Xu Ziyan, who were very familiar to Song Qingming.
When the many foundation-building cultivators present saw the appearance of the Xiaoyao Sect's Jindan elders, their faces immediately changed and they stood up and bowed to the three of them respectfully.
After reaching the Jindan stage, they are already considered high-ranking cultivators with a high status in the world of immortal cultivation. Naturally, they rarely interact with low-ranking cultivators.
For the many cultivators who came to participate in the celebration, some of them saw so many Jindan cultivators appear at the same time for the first time, and they couldn't help but show some excitement on their faces.
"Senior Sister Zhao, Senior Brother Chu, Junior Sister Xu!"
After seeing the figures of Chu Fengping and Xu Ziyan, Song Qingming immediately stood up with a happy face and went forward to greet them, and bowed slightly to them.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Song, another junior in your family has successfully built his foundation."
After several people bowed to Song Qingming in return, Zhao Menglian and Xu Ziyan took out the gifts they had prepared and smiled and presented them to Song Qingming.
Chu Fengping's hand flashed with inspiration, and he immediately took out a purple porcelain bottle and a square wooden box from his body, and said to Song Qingming with a smile:
"Unfortunately, Senior Brother Jin had something else to deal with, so he couldn't come here, so he asked me to bring a gift here. I hope Junior Brother Song won't mind."
"Alas! It's not a big deal. The fact that you senior brothers and sisters took the trouble to come here is already a great honor to Funiu Mountain. Why are you so polite? Come with me and rest for a while."
Seeing the exquisite spiritual objects that several people took out as gifts, Song Qingming did not hesitate to accept them and handed them to Song Yuanfang beside him.
Except for Song Qingming and Song Qingyu who successfully built their foundation in their early years, all the other people in the Song family had held such foundation-building celebrations when they built their foundations.
Although the scale of the celebrations varied, and the number of cultivators who came to give gifts varied every time, the Song family still paid more attention to interpersonal relationships.
Whether the ones who came were Jindan cultivators like Chu Fengping, or the immortal families sitting below, or those casual cultivators who came to join in the fun.
The Song family would arrange people to count the gifts sent by each person, register them and store them in the family's gold storage pavilion. When the other party had a happy event and held such a celebration in the future, the Song family would also arrange people with suitable identities to return the gifts.
After Chu Fengping and his companions sat down, seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Song Qingming arranged for Song Yuanfang to take Song Yuanhao to the stage and said a few nice words in front of many guests.
At the same time, the Song family cultivators and mortals in charge of the banquet slowly brought up the various spiritual fruits, spiritual wines, and delicious spiritual foods that had been prepared long ago.
Just as Song Yuanfang was about to announce that the banquet would begin, a green escape light appeared outside Funiu Mountain and quickly rushed towards the celebration venue.
"Another Jindan cultivator has arrived!" Seeing this escape light that was obviously far superior to the foundation-building cultivator, someone in the crowd below shouted excitedly.
Seeing the escape light coming from afar, Song Qingming's face was slightly surprised.
This time, Song Qingming only invited several Jindan elders from the sect, such as Zhao Menglian, who he was familiar with, to hold the "Foundation-Building Celebration" for Song Yuanhao, and did not send invitations to invite Jindan cultivators from other places.
If other Jindan elders of Xiaoyao Sect wanted to attend the celebration, they would definitely come with Zhao Menglian and the other two. It is impossible for them to arrive here so late when the banquet is about to start.
In front of everyone present, the green light landed on a piece of open space covered with red carpet in the middle of the celebration, and slowly a slightly fat man in green clothes appeared.
"Fellow Daoist Song, Zhang came uninvited and asked for a glass of spiritual wine. I hope you don't mind."
"Haha! So it's Fellow Daoist Zhang. I didn't expect you to come. I'm really flattered. Please come forward and take a seat."
This Jindan cultivator who came from afar was Zhang Tieyang, the Jindan companion that Song Qingming and Zhao Menglian met halfway after entering the "Babel Tower" together a year ago.
Although he knew this person in the "Babel Tower", he was thousands of miles away in Lu State, so Song Qingming naturally couldn't send him an invitation.
Seeing Zhang Tieyang rushing to Funiu Mountain to attend the celebration of the Song family, Song Qingming was indeed a little surprised.
After the two greeted each other, Zhang Tieyang followed Song Qingming to the seats where several Jindan cultivators sat above.
Fortunately, Song Qingming had invited more than just Chu Fengping and the other three Jindan cultivators to this celebration, and there were still two more empty seats and tables on the stage.
After seeing Zhang Tieyang coming over, Zhao Menglian and Chu Fengping and others immediately stood up and smiled and greeted each other.
"Fellow Daoist Song, I just happened to come to Weiguo a few days ago and learned about the happy event in your family. I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts carefully.
I bought this magic weapon in Yangshanfang yesterday. I'll take it as my gift. I hope you don't dislike it."
As soon as Zhang Tieyang finished speaking, a spiritual light moved in his hand, and immediately a good-quality second-level medium-grade shield magic weapon appeared, and he sent it to Song Qingming.
"It's actually a second-level medium-grade defensive magic weapon. What's the relationship between this senior and the Song family? Why is he so generous?"
Seeing the shield magic weapon that Zhang Tieyang took out, many low-level cultivators sitting below showed a trace of envy in their eyes.
You know, in the market, a second-level medium-grade defensive magic weapon of relatively good quality can be sold for about 1,500 spiritual stones.
So many spiritual stones may not be a big deal for a Jindan cultivator, but for a cultivator who has just established his foundation, it is a considerable fortune.
Most of the cultivators who came to Funiu Mountain today to participate in the celebration venue usually sent ordinary spiritual objects worth dozens or one or two hundred spiritual stones.
The gifts sent by larger foundation-building forces such as Lin Yutang of Tuoyun Mountain, or the Huang family of Qinghe County and the Cao family of Pingyang County were slightly better, but they were basically spiritual objects worth about 500 spiritual stones.
Even the spiritual objects that Zhao Menglian, Chu Fengping and other Jindan cultivators had brought out before were not more than a thousand spiritual stones.
Zhang Tieyang presented such an expensive gift all of a sudden. When Song Qingming saw it, he was also a little surprised.
"Daoyou Zhang is too polite. Daoyou rarely comes to my Funiu Mountain. You must have a few more cups today. Don't be so formal with us."
However, although this gift was a little more expensive than others, it was still within Song Qingming's acceptable range, so he did not refuse and accepted the magic weapon generously.
Hearing Song Qingming say this, Zhang Tieyang immediately bowed and smiled, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Song, I am just a casual cultivator, I am free and easy, I have no worries, how can I miss the opportunity to drink with a few fellow Daoists."
After Zhang Tieyang sat down, the celebration banquet officially began, and many cultivators present began to toast each other, drinking happily, enjoying this rare moment of relaxation.
Although many places in the world of immortal cultivation are full of disputes, various calculations and dangers, there will also be scenes like this moment on Funiu Mountain, where everyone is in harmony and sits together to share joy.
The way of cultivation is not only about fighting and killing to grow. Occasionally sitting down to chat about human relationships, exchanging advice with each other, and talking about cultivation experience can also be helpful to everyone.
Whether it is a person who sits in the mountains to cultivate hard, or a cultivator who likes to adventure everywhere to find opportunities, what everyone wants is nothing more than to be able to practice further and enjoy the road to immortality in the future.
Everyone's method of cultivation may be different, but the goal is basically the same.
The reason why Song Qingming invited so many high-level cultivators to host Song Yuanhao's foundation-building ceremony this time was also to give the low-level cultivators below a small opportunity.
When the banquet was halfway through, Song Qingming personally walked to the front of the stage and imitated the old ancestor Chen's preaching in Tuoyun Mountain. He taught all the cultivators present some of his cultivation experience after years of practice.
However, unlike Chen Jinliang, this time, Song Qingming did not select or avoid some cultivators, but directly preached in front of everyone on Funiu Mountain.
Because the cultivation of the cultivators present was uneven, Song Qingming did not explain a certain realm in depth, but started from his childhood and slowly talked about before the formation of the elixir.
Especially when building the foundation, some of the difficulties faced and his own response at that time, Song Qingming also shared with everyone.
Many cultivators who came to participate in the celebration did not know that Song Qingming would preach here publicly before they came to Funiu Mountain.
Seeing this scene, everyone showed a hint of surprise on their faces. They did not expect that they would have unexpected gains from participating in the Song family's foundation-building celebration this time.
For cultivators like them who are practicing Qi and building foundations, even if they can only absorb and understand a small part of it, a Jindan cultivator's preaching will be of great help to their future path.
For low-level cultivators like them, this trip to Funiu Mountain is definitely worthwhile and full of gains.
Not only Song Qingming, but also Chu Fengping and Zhang Tieyang came forward to say a few words under the influence of wine.
Although Chu Fengping and Zhang Tieyang did not say as much as Song Qingming, they only mentioned a little bit of their previous practice experience, but for many low-level cultivators present, it was also a very rare thing.
It was a rare opportunity for them to see a Jindan monk on weekdays, let alone to have the honor of hearing so many Jindan monks preaching in turn at once.
Those monks who were unable to come to Funiu Mountain to participate in the celebration for various reasons would definitely regret it if they knew that several Jindan monks were preaching here today.
After the preaching was over, Zhang Tieyang raised his glass and said to Song Qingming with admiration: "When I came down, I had heard about the reputation of Daoyou for being kind to others in Yangshanfang.
I didn't expect Daoyou Song to be so generous in teaching others. He is really a broad-minded person. Zhang really admires him."
Hearing what Zhang Tieyang said, Song Qingming waved his hand and said: "Daoyou Zhang is a casual cultivator. It should be the same as me. It is not easy to practice.
In addition to our own hard work in practice, we have also received some grace from other predecessors during the practice.
Today, I can take this opportunity to preach and give them some opportunities. It is just the cycle of cause and effect. I have inherited this grace. How dare I take Daoyou's words." (End of this chapter)
