Chapter 83 Meeting

Song Qingming had not learned the advanced art of concealing his breath, so his cultivation level naturally could not be hidden from the old clan leader Song Gushan, a master at the top of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"I just succeeded in breaking through last month, and it was a bit lucky." Song Qingming replied modestly.

Hearing Song Qingming confirm his cultivation level, Song Gushan's face slowly showed a hint of joy, and then he said: "After you left, we haven't received any news from you in the mountain in the past few years. Everyone is a little worried about you. Today, seeing you come back safely, I can finally let go of my heart."

Hearing the sincere words of concern from the old clan leader, Song Qingming hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Qingming thanks the clan leader for his concern."

Then Song Gushan asked Song Qingming about his training outside in the past few years. Song Qingming did not hide anything, including what happened in Feiyunwei in the past few years.

When Song Qingming talked about the battle with the demon cultivators in the Floating Cloud Mountains after he joined the Feiyun Guard, Song Gushan, an old cultivator who had been practicing for nearly a hundred years, was also a little frightened. It was not easy for Song Qingming to survive in such a dangerous battlefield.

Half an hour later, Song Qingming finally finished talking about all his experiences in the past few years. The old clan leader Song Gushan also took the opportunity to guide his practice.

Seeing that it was getting late, Song Qingming didn't want to stay here to disturb the old clan leader's practice. Seeing that the old clan leader had no other instructions, he got up and said goodbye and returned to his cave.

The moon was already in the sky, and Song Qingming, who was practicing in the cave, suddenly received another sound transmission note.

Song Qingming opened the talisman and saw that his face, which had just been disturbed and was a little depressed, changed instantly. A smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth. He ended his practice and quickly got up and left the cave.

In the Moon-Watching Pavilion in a corner of Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming, his eldest brother Song Qingshi, and his fourth brother Song Qingrui each held a glass of spiritual wine and happily chatted about Song Qingming's experiences in recent years.

Song Qingming has been close to these two brothers since he was a child. When they were in Funiu Mountain, they often drank and talked together, joking about their lives.

After drinking a glass of spiritual wine, the fourth brother Song Qingrui said to Song Qingming after two "tsk tsk" sounds:

"Seventh brother, you brought this pot of golden flower spiritual dew from Guiyunfang. It tastes really good. It is much better than the spiritual wine sent to the mountain by the fourth uncle. Fortunately, the thirteenth uncle is still in seclusion. If he were here, there would probably be only a few sips left of this pot, and it would all go into his mouth."

The thirteenth uncle Song Changxiong is also a person who likes spiritual wine. The three brothers Song Qingming like to drink and exchange cups, which is all brought by him as an elder.

Song Qingming smiled and said, "It's okay, let's drink without worry. I still have a pot on me. When Uncle Thirteen comes out of retreat, we can get together again and celebrate for him."

"I don't know if Uncle Thirteen can break through to the late stage of Qi Refining during this retreat. If he fails, Qingming, you should not go to Uncle Thirteen for now."

After hearing their conversation, Song Qingshi, the most thoughtful elder among the three, spoke up and reminded Song Qingming appropriately.

Song Qingming nodded and immediately understood Song Qingshi's intentions.

"Seventh Brother, I didn't expect that you broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining in just a few years. Fourth Brother is really happy for you. We, the Qing generation, will rely on you to take the lead in the future." After Song Qingrui drank a few glasses of spiritual wine, he began to open his heart in his words.

Song Qingming shook his head and said, "Fourth brother, you must have drunk too much. My cultivation is just a fluke. With the third brother here, it's not my turn to take the lead."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Song Qingming said this, Song Qingshi and Song Qingrui, who were smiling just now, suddenly froze and put down their glasses.

Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Song Qingming's face was instantly filled with doubts, not knowing what he had said wrong just now.

"Seventh brother, you may not know that your third brother has decided to join the Xiaoyao Sect and will probably leave Funiu Mountain in one or two months at most. Just now, we heard you say that the clan leader summoned you today, and we thought you already knew about it."

Seeing that Song Qingming didn't seem to know about it, the eldest brother Song Qingshi quickly explained a few words, which solved the doubts in Song Qingming's heart.

"Seventh Brother, he will no longer be our third brother from now on. We have wasted all these years of respect for him. He is a man who only cares about his own path and never has us brothers in his eyes." Song Qingrui said with some indignation in his heart.

Song Qingshi sighed and said, "Fourth Brother, Qingming has just come back, you should say less. Besides, even the clan leader has agreed to this matter. This is Qingze's own choice. No matter what you say, it can't change this matter."

Third Brother Song Qingze is going to join Xiaoyao Sect. When he suddenly heard this shocking news, even Song Qingming, who was already very calm, showed a look of surprise.

Since Song Qingming was sent to Funiu Mountain, Third Brother Song Qingze has always been a role model for their generation of cultivators, and the elders of the family have always regarded him as the future clan leader to cultivate.

For more than 20 years, the resources invested by the Song family in him are far beyond what Song Qingming and his brothers can compare. Whether it is the cultivation method or the resources needed for breakthrough, they are all well prepared for him.

The generous support from the family has enabled Song Qingze to reach the late stage of Qi Refining at a young age. His path has been very smooth over the years.

The family spared no effort to train him, but he suddenly decided to join Xiaoyao Sect. It is no wonder that Song Qingrui, who has always taken Song Qingze as an example, suddenly changed his attitude towards him.

Although Song Qingming was upset, he thought about it and did not say anything. He just picked up the wine glass in his hand and asked the two brothers to continue drinking.

Song Qingshi also quickly changed the topic. The three of them did not return to their own caves until the morning sun rose.

A few days later, Song Qingming heard the news that his thirteenth uncle had come out of retreat. It was a pity that although his thirteenth uncle had a stable foundation, he did not have a spiritual object such as a medium-grade spirit stone to assist in the breakthrough, so this breakthrough still failed.

Song Qingming was also afraid that his thirteenth uncle would be embarrassed after seeing his cultivation, so he did not choose to disturb him now.

Just ten days after returning to Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming once again received a message from the fourth elder, asking him to go to the family meeting room. Song Qingming hurriedly walked out of the cave.

As soon as he entered the meeting room, Song Qingming saw the old clan leader and the fourth elder sitting in the meeting room.

He thought that only the fourth elder had something to ask him, but he didn't expect that the clan leader was also here. For this reason, Song Qingming was a little puzzled.

"Several elders will come here to discuss matters. You have broken through the late stage of Qi Refining and are qualified to discuss matters in the clan. You might as well stay here and listen first."

Seeing that Song Qingming was the first to arrive here, Song Gushan waved to him, pointed to a chair not far from him, and motioned Song Qingming to sit down first.

Seeing this, Song Qingming didn't think much about it, and walked over and sat on the chair that Song Gushan pointed to.

Not long after, the second elder Song Changfeng and the third elder Song Gulan also came to the meeting room. What surprised Song Qingming was that his ninth uncle Song Changxin, who seldom participated in family meetings, also came here this time.
