Chapter 814: Sect Changes, Three Years Later

After the war, not long after, the whole "Guyang Mountain" was soon covered with flags.

The sect's majesty was also based on the sacrifice of many fellow monks. "Xiaoyao Sect" naturally had to arrange their affairs after death and give these sect disciples a grand funeral.

For this reason, Song Qingming, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan went to the sect to send off their old friend Jin Ziyuan.

Jin Ziyuan was a cultivator of the same generation as Li Wutong. His life span was almost 500 years old, but his cultivation had not yet broken through to the sixth level of Jindan.

Like Guangling Zhenren who sacrificed for the sect, Jin Ziyuan was also a cultivator who had stopped on the road and exhausted his cultivation potential before his death.

Because he knew that he had no hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul realm in this life, Jin Ziyuan had also neglected his own cultivation in recent years, which also led to a decline in his ability to fight with others, which was why he was exploited by the enemy monks in the "Nanyuefang" battle.

As fellow disciples, Jin Ziyuan and Song Qingming had a relatively good relationship among many elders of the sect. Song Qingming did feel a little sad about his sudden death.

However, Jin Ziyuan, an old cultivator whose potential was exhausted, finally died on the battlefield for the sect instead of dying alone on the sickbed, which was in line with his hot temper in his lifetime.

With his great contribution to the sect, the sect's "General Affairs Hall" will take more care of his descendants, and the pension treatment will definitely be better than that of the descendants of other elders who died in meditation.

After sending away many cultivators who died in battle, the sect soon ushered in a period of peaceful development.

After the "Nanyuefang" battle, less than half a year later, another cultivator in the sect successfully formed a pill, which made up for the vacancy of Jin Ziyuan's death.

This new cultivator, named Luo Qingyun, was a direct disciple of the sect's golden pill elder Chu Fengping.

Luo Qingyun's spiritual root qualifications are the same as Xu Ziyan's, and he is also a person who has successfully formed a golden elixir with three spiritual roots.

Although his spiritual root qualifications are not the best in the sect, Luo Qingyun has an excellent talent for alchemy. After becoming a disciple of Chu Fengping, the master of the sect's "Alchemy Pavilion", his alchemy level has steadily improved to the third-level lower grade.

It is precisely because of his superb alchemy skills that Luo Qingyun has been able to accumulate good deeds for the sect faster than others.

In addition, his master Chu Fengping also gave Luo Qingyun some support behind the scenes, allowing him to exchange for the "Five Elements Spiritual Objects" that impact the Golden Elixir Realm twice, and finally lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully advanced to the Golden Elixir Realm.

It has only been less than 30 years since Yun Nishang successfully formed a golden elixir, and the sect has a new foundation-building disciple who has successfully formed a golden elixir. The entire "Xiaoyao Sect" is naturally delighted.

For this reason, the sect also specially held a large-scale golden elixir celebration, which gradually diluted the remaining sadness of the mountain half a year ago.

Chu Fengping, the master, was extremely happy that his disciple had successfully formed a golden elixir. When everyone came to congratulate him, he generously gave Luo Qingyun a third-level lower-grade magic weapon in public, which also surprised Song Qingming and others.

You should know that the value of a third-level lower-grade magic weapon is almost close to tens of thousands of spirit stones. Even for his own disciple, Chu Fengping was too generous.

Seeing this, Song Qingming also had some guesses in his heart. Chu Fengping did this, probably to pave the way for his future affairs, and wanted to fully support Luo Qingyun, so as to leave a backer for his lineage of cultivators in the sect in the future.

Although Chu Fengping is much younger than Jin Ziyuan, he is already nearly 400 years old.

After his own cultivation advanced to the sixth level of the golden elixir, Chu Fengping's cultivation encountered a huge bottleneck, and was blocked by the late stage of the golden elixir for many years.

In the end, he was able to break through the realm by relying on a rare pill he got from the "Thunder Yuanhai" trade fair a few years ago, which allowed him to advance to the seventh level of the Golden Core by chance.

Although he still had a chance to condense the Nascent Soul in theory, Chu Fengping knew in his heart that with his cultivation talent, it would be difficult for him to advance to the ninth level of the Golden Core in the future, let alone the higher level of the Nascent Soul.

For this reason, it was normal for Chu Fengping to make some preparations for his descendants in advance. After all, he didn't know whether he would suddenly die like Jin Ziyuan in the future.

Since Bai Yuxian condensed the Nascent Soul, the strength of the "Xiaoyao Sect" has developed rapidly in the past few decades.

Not only did the northern expedition to the demon clan expand thousands of miles of territory, but it also took over the "Nanyuefang" from the "Jiuyuan Sect" to the east, and the sect's territory expanded by nearly 30% at once.

After obtaining so many territories, the resources controlled in the territory of the "Xiaoyao Sect" naturally increased a lot, and the population of both cultivators and mortals had a rapid outbreak.

At the Luo Qingyun Core Formation Ceremony, Xu Ziyan, who was in charge of the sect's secular affairs, also took out the "General Affairs Hall" list and reported the sect's development status in recent years to the two sect's supreme elders.

In less than 30 years, the number of cultivators in the "Xiaoyao Sect" has increased to more than 20,000, not including the many vassal immortal cultivation families under its sect.

If counted together, the number of cultivators controlled by the entire "Xiaoyao Sect" is almost more than 30,000.

Among them are two Yuanying Supreme Elders, Li Mufeng, who is at the fourth level of Yuanying, and Bai Yuxian, who has just formed a Yuanying and is still at the first level of Yuanying.

The sect's Jindan elders include Chen Xuanxin (Jindan ninth level), Song Qingming (Jindan ninth level), Li Wutong (Jindan eighth level), Chu Fengping (Jindan seventh level), Zhao Mengling (Jindan sixth level), Song Qingyu (Jindan sixth level), Xu Ziyan (Jindan sixth level), Zhang Tieyang (Jindan fifth level), Huang Siyuan (Jindan fifth level), Fang Baixuan (Jindan fourth level), Shen Tongzhou (Jindan third level), Yun Nishang (Jindan third level), Zhao Xingtang (Jindan second level), Hu Qingyun (Jindan first level), Luo Qingyun (Jindan first level), a total of fifteen people.

Among them, Song Qingming, Song Qingyu, Huang Siyuan, Zhang Tieyang, Hu Qingyun, and Zhao Xingtang have not directly integrated into the sect, and they are still serving as guest elders.

(PS: The reason why these Jindan elders' realms are directly marked is to facilitate everyone's viewing. Please help correct me if there is anything wrong.

There are also Zhou Ziyang Jindan 4th level and Zhang Rong Jindan 1st level. Although they are also in the Weiguo cultivation world, I did not write them directly because they did not directly join Xiaoyao Sect.)

A few decades ago, when the Northern Frontier Monster Rebellion just ended, the "Xiaoyao Sect" that had experienced a great battle had less than 200 foundation-building disciples in the sect.

Now that several decades have passed, as the sect's strength has gradually recovered, the number of foundation-building cultivators in the sect has nearly doubled, and there are almost 400 people.

This is also due to the continuous development of the sect over the years, and the expansion and occupation of a lot of territory, so that the sect has more resources to cultivate the sect's cultivators.

This is also the process that the "Xiaoyao Sect" that urgently needs to expand after Bai Yuxian condenses the Nascent Soul will definitely go through.

If nothing unexpected happens, in another hundred years, the "Xiaoyao Sect" will become a Yuanying Sect that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the "Xingchen Sect" of the Wu Kingdom, and have the strength to rank among the top three sects in the world of immortal cultivation in the Floating Cloud Mountains.

After attending Luo Qingyun's Dan-forming celebration, Song Qingming and his friends, who had nothing to do, quickly returned to their family to concentrate on cultivation.

In a blink of an eye, spring and autumn came, and another three years passed.

——

On this day, two cultivators, one tall and one short, wearing Song family clothes, were running quickly along the river bank on a high mountain beside the Qing River, their figures like cunning rabbits.

The one running in front was a little older. He was the 37th cultivator of the "Lin" generation of the Song family, named Song Linyuan, and his cultivation had reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

The cultivator who was struggling to follow behind was a little shorter. He was the latest generation of the "Si" generation cultivator of the Song family. He was ranked eleventh in the family tree. His name was Song Sibai, and he had just broken through the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Because of the big difference in cultivation, even though Song Linyuan deliberately slowed down his pace, he still left Song Sibai behind, and the distance between the two was getting farther and farther.

"Uncle Linyuan, I can't do it anymore, let's take a break!"

After the two ran along the river bank for more than ten miles, Song Sibai, who felt that his pace could no longer keep up with the other party, shouted and sat down on a stone on the shore.

Seeing this, Song Linyuan, who was running in front, laughed at him and could only turn around and walk back.

"Sibai, you are not doing well. When I was about your age, I followed Uncle Nineteen and the others to hunt monsters.

With your current physical strength, you can't even catch up with the powerful monsters.

If you want to join the law enforcement team to earn spirit stones, you have to work harder on your legs and feet in addition to daily practice."

"Uncle Linyuan, you have the talent of three spiritual roots. In the future, you will have the same chance to successfully build a foundation as the family elders. The family will certainly value you.

I am just a pseudo spiritual root. It's good enough to break through the late stage of Qi Refining in this life. Even if I work hard to practice, I guess the law enforcement team will not look down on people like me!"

Compared to Song Linyuan, who has advanced to the late stage of Qi Refining and is about to hit the foundation building stage, Song Sibai is just a four-spiritual root cultivator with ordinary talent. He successfully broke through the fourth level of Qi Refining at the age of nineteen.

He has long experienced the difficulty of practicing, and when he heard Song Linyuan mention his past, he felt a little ashamed.

Hearing the somewhat discouraging words from Song Sibai, Song Linyuan sighed slightly and hurried forward to comfort him: "Sibai, what are you talking about.

Although there are differences in personal talents, our path of cultivation is not entirely determined by talent.

Think about it, there were many people in the family who were more talented than me. If I were to think like you now, I would have given up the path early and would not have achieved my current cultivation.

The family now does not look at personal talent, but relies on accumulating good deeds to exchange for foundation-building pills. Although you and I are not as talented as others, as long as we are willing to contribute to the family, personal efforts can change the reality. .

Elder Yuan Qian and Elder Xuan De in the clan, aren't they all people who have successfully built the foundation of the four spiritual roots? As long as you can show your own abilities to the family in the future, how can you not have the opportunity to build the foundation.

At such a young age, you start to complain about that. If your Tao heart is not firm, how can you practice in the future? "

"Hehe! Uncle Linyuan, I just said it, why did you start to talk about it again? I know I was wrong. Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to practice in the future and strive to build the foundation successfully with you. "

After Song Sibai finished speaking, he immediately stood up with the help of the stone and wanted to continue running forward.

But just when he had just moved a few steps, he was pulled back by a big hand, and then a shield enveloped him.

"Be careful, there are monsters!"

As soon as Song Linyuan finished speaking, several water arrows flew from a distance and landed directly on the shield in front of the two people, splashing a burst of water.

It was not until this moment that Song Sibo saw several black giant crabs suddenly appear in the Qinghe River not far in front of the two of them, and rushed toward the two of them angrily.

"Why are there monsters here? Are they coming from above?"

Ever since Song Qingming discovered that Qinghe Cave Mansion had been occupied by family monks, the river had been cleaned up several times by the family over the years, and there were no longer any monsters.

But because the upper reaches of the Qinghe River are connected to the "Yunwu Mountain", monsters will still come downstream along the river from time to time.

As soon as he saw these black giant crabs, Song Sibai quickly guessed their origins and couldn't help shouting.

"No matter where they come from, they are just a few monster beasts in the middle stage of Qi refining. What are you afraid of? Come on!"

Song Sibai, who had been practicing for so long and had never fought against wild monsters before, was shocked and a little dazed. He stood there and didn't know how to deal with it next.

Song Linyuan, who was still on the side, could not help but give him a light kick when he saw this. Only then did Song Sibai stabilize his mind. He quickly took out his magical weapon and rushed forward with Song Linyuan.

Song Linyuan has reached the late stage of Qi training and has been a member of the family law enforcement team for many years, so he has rich experience in hunting monsters.

Even though Song Sibai was a little slowed down, the two of them still managed to kill all the two monsters that came to attack them. Only one of the more agile monsters saw that the situation was not going well and fled back into the water.

Seeing that Song Sibai still wanted to catch up and not let him go, Song Linyuan quickly stopped him.

“Sibai, I don’t know if there are any monsters in the water, I’m afraid it’s not safe, so don’t chase them yet.

Let's deal with these two monsters first, then report to the elders, and then we can search the area together when the family sends people! "

Song Sibai, who came back, looked at the corpses of the two monster beasts on the shore and couldn't help but smile:

"I never expected that I would encounter monsters while patrolling here. This time I really got into Uncle Linyuan's favor. This opportunity came as it was said to come."

"Haha! You are still young. As long as you practice hard, you will always have a chance to meet the opportunity."

After the uncle and nephew looked at each other and smiled, they immediately began to decompose the corpses of the monsters on the shore. In their eyes, these two monsters had already turned into sparkling spiritual stones.

Just as the two of them were trying to clean up the corpses of the monsters around them, a loud roar suddenly came from the water, followed by a splash of water.

This huge movement instantly attracted the uncle and nephew on the shore. When they turned around, they saw a black giant crab that was two or three feet wide, waving huge iron pincers and glaring at the shore.

"This is a foundation-building monster! Run quickly."

After feeling the powerful aura emanating from the black giant crab, Song Linyuan was immediately frightened, quickly dropped the corpse of the monster in his hand, and ran away with Song Sibai.

As Song Linyuan ran, he also threw a red talisman from his hand, cast a spell and threw it out.

As soon as the magic talisman for help was used here, the black giant crab in the water roared and rushed towards the location of the two people. The speed was far faster than the average monk in the Qi refining stage.

"Sibai, run up the mountain quickly, don't follow me, otherwise neither of us will be able to escape!"

Seeing that the black giant crab behind him was getting closer and closer, Song Linyuan shouted something to Song Sibai, turned around, gritted his teeth and threw a high-grade spiritual talisman at the monster behind him, then changed direction and chose to escape separately from Song Sibai.

The high-grade spiritual talisman in Song Linyuan's hand only blocked the opponent for a moment before the black giant crab caught up with him again.

However, this black giant crab did not choose to chase the nearest Song Linyuan first. Instead, it turned around and headed straight for the weaker Song Sibai.

——

The top of the Song family's "Funiu Mountain".

As a red light disappeared into the formation, the monk from the law enforcement team who received the letter asking for help opened the letter in his hand and took a look. Not long after, the letter was sent to the family "meeting hall".

Song Yuanfang opened the letter, and immediately a look of solemnity appeared on his face after just one glance.

"Quickly notify Elders Yuan Xue and Xuan Feng and ask them to gather in the meeting hall immediately. Tell them that the family has urgent matters!"

"Husband, what happened?" Seeing that her husband Song Yuanfang's face looked a little ugly, Huang Yueqing asked with concern.

When Song Yuanfang heard this, he immediately sighed and said, "There is something going on over at Qinghe, and Xuan Qing sent a message saying that a late-stage foundation-building monster appeared nearby.

I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it alone. I'll go with Yuan Xue and Xuan Feng, and I'll leave the family matters to you first. "

"This is a late-stage foundation-building monster that I haven't encountered in a long time. Husband, you need to be more careful!"

"Don't worry, no matter how powerful the monster is, it's enough for us to deal with it with so many people. If anything happens, I will send a message back in time."

As Song Yuanfang spoke, he walked out. Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly appeared at the door of the "meeting hall" at this time, which made him stop unexpectedly.

"Meet the clan leader!"

Seeing Song Qingming suddenly walk in, everyone in the "meeting hall" was surprised, and they hurriedly bowed to him in unison.

Seeing this, Song Qingming quickly waved his hand and asked, "I just saw that Xuan Qing sent a request for help. Did something happen to Qinghe?"

"Report back to the clan leader!"

Because the family equipped Qinghe with the top-level second-grade high-quality sound transmission talisman, which is different from other places, Song Qingming, who happened to be drinking tea on the top of the mountain, recognized it immediately after seeing the talisman.

Considering the importance of Qinghe Cave, Song Qingming, who was a little worried, came to the family's "meeting room" to inquire about the matter.

After hearing Song Yuanfang's explanation, he learned that a late-stage foundation-building monster had come near Qinghe. Song Qingming relaxed slightly and waved his hand to stop Song Yuanfang and others who wanted to deal with the monster.

"I just happened to have nothing to do after retreating. You don't have to go. I'll go and exercise my hands and feet by the way."

Seeing that Song Qingming was going to deal with the monster himself, Song Yuanfang was about to say something, but Song Qingming ignored him and turned around and left the family's "meeting room".

Then a beam of light flew out of "Funiu Mountain" and headed south towards the location of Qinghe.

A quarter of an hour later, in a mountain bay beside Qinghe.

Song Xuanqing, standing on a flying sword and holding a three-legged tripod, was casting a spell and fighting fiercely with a huge black crab.

Below, more than a dozen Song family cultivators held formation flags to form a second-level formation, and transformed into a golden wolf monster to help Song Xuanqing contain some of the energy of the black crab.

Song Xuanqing's cultivation level was only the fourth level of foundation building, and because he practiced the art of alchemy, Song Xuanqing rarely went out to fight with the same level, so his strength was not outstanding among the cultivators of the middle stage of foundation building.

Facing a demon beast of the late stage of foundation building, he was still defeated by the opponent even with the help of a second-level formation below. He was beaten by the black crab and fell below, and his body was already covered with many scars.

"Elder Xuanqing, this monster is so powerful that we may not be able to stop it by ourselves. It is better to retreat first and wait for the family reinforcements to arrive!"

"No, this place is too close to the place where the ancestors practiced. If this guy breaks in, we may have trouble explaining the family's accusations in the future.

And if we retreat like this, you will definitely not have time to escape, and there will inevitably be casualties.

Let's hold on a little longer. The elders should be on their way."

After Song Xuanqing finished speaking, he had another silver second-level middle-grade talisman in his hand, which turned into a fire blade and slashed at the opponent, and then swallowed a pill to restore spiritual energy.

After forcing the opponent to retreat with the power of the talisman and taking a breath, just as Song Xuanqing was about to continue to control the magic weapon to attack the black crab, a sword light suddenly flew in the air in the distance and landed on the black crab.

Then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, the black crab shook a few times and completely lost its breath, and then its huge body fell directly to the ground and shook up a cloud of dust.

Just when Song Xuanqing and the others were still confused and didn't know what happened, a figure in green suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Meet the clan leader!"

Seeing that the person who came was Song Qingming, Song Xuanqing and the others were also surprised. They didn't know why this matter would alarm the clan leader who had been practicing in seclusion on the top of the mountain for many years.

After glancing at Song Xuanqing and the others, Song Qingming smiled and nodded slightly to them.

"I just came out of seclusion and heard about this, so I came to see you. You did a good job. Go back and heal your wounds first, and come back to deal with the monster corpse later!"

"Thank you, clan leader!"

Hearing Song Qingming's order, Song Xuanqing and the others immediately bowed and responded, and then quickly left the river.

After everyone around left the Qing River, Song Qingming glanced at the monster corpse on the ground, turned around and immediately turned into a beam of light and plunged into the turbulent river next to him. (End of this chapter)
