Chapter 80 Qi Refining Level 7

However, Song Qingming, who was still working hard in the cave, learned the news that Xu Ziyan had returned to Guiyunfang two days later.

On this day, Song Qingming was just about to leave the cave, but he didn't expect Xu Ziyan to come to him and block him in the cave.

"Fellow Daoist Song hid here, but it took me a while to find you. I thought I was really going to Qinghe County to find you."

For some reason, Xu Ziyan, who was still dressed in red, looked a little more haggard than two months ago.

"Captain Xu, I am lucky to have fulfilled my mission. I successfully bought the Qingyu Pill during this trip to Bailong Mountain."

After seeing Xu Ziyan, Song Qingming quickly took out the Qingyu Pill treasured in his storage bag and carefully handed it to Xu Ziyan.

This Qingyu Pill had been on Song Qingming for more than a month. He had a spiritual pill worth three hundred spiritual stones on him. Although it made his storage bag bulge for a while, it was not his own thing after all.

After getting the Green Jade Pill, he was still a little worried on the way from Bailong Mountain to Guiyunfang. What if he lost the elixir? How would he report it to Xu Ziyan?

Now that the elixir was in Xu Ziyan's hands, Song Qingming finally breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer had to worry about the elixir.

As for the extra ten spirit stones from the purchase of the elixir, he did not choose to return them to Xu Ziyan. He risked his life and death to go to Bailong Mountain, so it should be reasonable to charge him some hard work fee.

After seeing the Green Jade Pill, Xu Ziyan's face was happy, and she did not ask Song Qingming how many spirit stones he spent. She gently wiped the Green Jade Pill into the storage bag on her waist with her bare hands, and then bowed to Song Qingming.

"No matter what, I still have to thank Fellow Daoist Song for his hard work in getting this elixir. I owe you a favor this time."

Song Qingming quickly bowed and returned the greeting, saying, "Captain Xu, you are too polite. This trip to Bailong Mountain has also broadened my horizons. I dare not say that it was hard work."

Xu Ziyan smiled and nodded, then said, "Fellow Daoist Song, there is one thing I want to tell you in advance. Junior Brother Lu's injury has almost healed. I will return the title of Captain of the Eleventh Guard to him. You don't have to call me Captain anymore."

Hearing Xu Ziyan Song Qingming was slightly stunned by what Xu said, and then said: "Fellow Daoist Xu, are you going to prepare for a breakthrough in seclusion?"

Xu Ziyan forced a smile and said: "You are right. After this mission is over, I will return to the sect. Breaking through the foundation is extremely dangerous. I don't know if we will see each other again."

"Fellow Daoist Xu has been practicing to the ninth level of Qi Refining for many years. His foundation is solid. Even if he can't break through successfully, it can't be that dangerous. Why do you say that?" Song Qingming heard Xu Ziyan say that it was extremely dangerous to break through the foundation, and he couldn't help but blurt it out directly.

Xu Ziyan shook her head and sighed, "This time, the sect occasionally failed to refine the foundation-building pills, and only refined a dozen pills. Although the master has tried his best to fight for me, my hope of getting the foundation-building pills this time is very slim. However, I have made up my mind to go into seclusion after returning to the sect, and never come down the mountain again without breaking through the foundation-building realm."

"So that's how it is. Even if there is no foundation-building pill, you are already planning to risk your life to break through the foundation-building realm. For this reason, Song has great respect for you. Please accept my greetings."

After saying that, Song Qingming bowed deeply to Xu Ziyan. For this woman who dared to move forward on the road of Taoism and put life and death aside, Song Qingming also sincerely admired Xu Ziyan at this moment.

"Song Daoyou's hospitality is really unacceptable. Ziyan has been practicing Taoism for more than 40 years. I dare not say how firm my Taoism is, but I am not a person who wastes time. Now that I have entered the immortal path, if I can't go to the clouds to see all the beautiful scenery in this world, what's the use of living for a few more decades for me." After Xu Ziyan finished speaking, there was a bit more determination in her eyes.

"Then I would like to congratulate you here. The next time we meet, Song will call you senior."

Then, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries and asked each other about their recent situation. Xu Ziyan also swept away the haggard look before, and then generously exchanged a lot of her own experience in cultivation with Song Qingming, which benefited Song Qingming a lot and made him more confident about his next impact on the late stage of Qi Refining.

After Xu Ziyan left Song Qingming, she left Guiyunfang a few days later and returned to the gate of Xiaoyao Sect. Even many people in the eleven guards didn't know that her captain had left, and the captain of the eleven guards became Lu Yunfei again.

It was not until half a year later that Song Qingming heard about Xu Ziyan from a Xiaoyao Sect cultivator. This extraordinary woman, whom Song Qingming admired, actually succeeded in breaking through to the foundation-building stage after three months of seclusion, just as Song Qingming said that day.

Cultivators like Xu Ziyan who successfully built their foundation without using foundation-building pills are also very rare in the world of immortal cultivation.

After all, only one in twenty cultivators can successfully build their foundation without using foundation-building pills. Most of those who choose to break through are either seriously injured and their path is ruined, or they have already died.

There are more than 300 foundation-building cultivators in the Xiaoyao Sect, and less than 20% of them have not used foundation-building pills to build their foundations. After building their foundations, these people are all extremely determined cultivators without exception. Their paths will be brighter than those cultivators who have used foundation-building pills, and their chances of cultivating to a higher realm will be greater.

After hearing the news that Xu Ziyan successfully built his foundation, Song Qingming was also very excited. After recovering his state, he soon chose to retreat and break through the late stage of Qi Refining again. However, his luck seems to be not so good recently. After losing a medium-grade spirit stone this time, he failed to break through again.

Fortunately, he was not discouraged. In the following time, in addition to following Feiyunwei to go out for training, he continued to inquire about the news of medium-grade spirit stones after returning to Guiyunfang.

A year later, on Guiyun Mountain, Song Qingming sat upright in his cave, and streams of strong spiritual energy continued to flow from several meridians all over his body into his Dantian, and then slowly emerged from several other meridians.

After five days of continuous polishing of spiritual energy, the pure spiritual energy in Song Qingming's Dantian has become very saturated.

Seeing that the spiritual energy in his body has been polished to perfection, Song Qingming finally made up his mind and melted the medium-grade spiritual stone that had been prepared in his hand.

After a tremor in his meridians, with this extremely pure and powerful spiritual power, Song Qingming finally broke through the bottleneck of Qi Refining Level 7, which had troubled him for several years, at the third breakthrough, and successfully raised his own cultivation to the late stage of Qi Refining.

After breaking through his cultivation, Song Qingming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that he had to break through the bottleneck of the late stage of Qi Refining again and again. He really had no idea about himself in the next stage of foundation building.

In the past two years in Guiyunfang, Song Qingming, in addition to going out to perform Feiyunwei tasks, was asking around for medium-grade spiritual stones. In the end, Shi Chun helped him find a medium-grade spiritual stone again, and he had a third chance and successfully broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining.
