Chapter 819: Sword Master, Heavenly Merit
Half a year later, in the Immortal Realm of Fuyun Mountains, in the "Qinghe County" of the Wei Kingdom.
As one of the main markets controlled by the Song family, "Chiyanfang" has become the largest market near "Yunwu Mountain" under the hard work of several generations of monks in the family.
There is an endless stream of monks coming in and out of "Yunwu Mountain" from the east side of Weiguo every day, which also brings a lot of popularity to "Chiyanfang".
However, compared to the Fuyun Mountains where there are many monsters, the number of monsters here in "Yunwu Mountain" is obviously much smaller. In addition, there are still many miasmas in the mountains and forests, which will have a certain impact on the search for spiritual objects.
Generally speaking, the monks who go in and out of "Yunwu Mountain" to hunt monsters are mostly young monks with little experience in hunting monsters. Those veteran monks with higher cultivation levels and rich experience in hunting monsters will directly teleport more monsters from here. The front line of "White Lion Square".
On this day, a middle-stage Qi Refining monk from the Song family who was guarding the gate of Fangshi had just put a monk whose identity had been verified into Fangshi.
Looking up, he saw a young woman wearing a bamboo hat and purple clothes, walking slowly towards Fangshi from the direction of "Yunwu Mountain" in the east.
Seeing this woman coming from the dangerous "Yunwu Mountain" alone, the monks of the Song family suddenly had a look of curiosity on their faces.
When he took a closer look, he found that the woman suddenly narrowed the distance and came to him from a distance of more than ten feet. He couldn't help but rub his eyes, thinking that he had just seen it wrong.
"Fellow Taoist, may I ask if this is Chiyanfang?"
The clear voice of the woman in purple made the Song family monk who was in doubt suddenly come back to his senses and hurriedly responded: "What my fellow Taoist said is true, this place is Chiyanfang.
If you dare to ask where your friend is from, please state your identity before you can enter or leave the city. "
After hearing the Song family monk's explanation, the woman in purple immediately took off the bamboo hat on her head with a smile on her face, revealing a rather delicate jade face.
"I am Zilan, a casual cultivator from Guiyunfang. I have made an appointment with my companions to meet at Chiyanfang. I would also like to ask fellow Taoist friends for my convenience!" After saying that, the woman in purple handed over another spiritual stone.
"You're from Guiyunfang, no wonder you dare to go to Yunwu Mountain alone. There have been a lot of monsters in the east recently, and it's a bit uneasy, but you have to be careful.
Your identity has been registered. With this jade token, you can enter and exit the city for free within half a year.
We cannot collect spirit stones here. If you want to stay for a long time, you can take the spirit stones and go directly to Fangshi Law Enforcement Hall to rent a cave. Go in first! "
After writing the name of the woman in purple, the Song family monk threw a token with the name on it to the other party, and then waved to her.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"
Seeing this, the woman in purple quickly put away the spirit stone in her hand, took the token and walked into the market.
Seeing the figure of the purple-clothed woman disappear through the magic circle at the entrance of Fangshi for a long time, the Song family monk withdrew his gaze with some reluctance.
"It's strange. This person obviously only has the fifth level of Qi Refining like me. Why does it make me feel a little uneasy? After staying in the market for a long time, he is really becoming more and more timid.
We have not been allowed to enter the mountain for more than half a year, and we don’t know when the elder will take us to hunt monsters again. "
After muttering to himself, the Song family monk slowly closed the register he had just registered and looked into the distance again in boredom.
After the purple-clothed woman entered Fangshi, she first walked around the street, and finally came to the outside of the "Law Enforcement Hall" located in the middle of Fangshi. She looked up at the sign above her head and strode into it.
"Fellow Taoist, may I ask what you do for me?"
"I want to rent a cave here."
"Oh! Come in with me! Uncle Xuanlong, someone else has come to rent the cave."
The monks from the Fang City Law Enforcement Team who were guarding the door heard that the other party was here to rent the cave, so they nodded quickly, then shouted inside, and brought the woman in purple to an old man with gray beard and hair.
After knowing the other party's intention, the old man quickly asked him to sit down, took out a sheepskin map with the location of the cave, and placed it in front of the woman in purple.
"Fellow Taoist, you have really come to the right place. I, Chiyanfang, have just opened a number of second-class caves with beautiful scenery in the back mountain some time ago, which are just suitable for monks like Taoist friend who are in the middle stage of Qi refining.
Fellow Taoist, don't worry, our Songjiafang City will never bully customers. If you feel bad, just go out and ask around and you will know.
I don’t know what kind of cave you want to rent. Please take a look first and I’ll help you find it together. I guarantee your satisfaction. "
After hearing the exaggerated introduction from the white-haired old man, the woman in purple didn't even look at the sheepskin map in his hand. She directly said to the old man with a smile on her face:
"I want to rent a first-class cave!"
"My fellow Taoist doesn't know something, but the first-class caves are rented by monks in the late stage of Qi refining and above. I don't see how my fellow Taoist can use them if they are only in the middle stage of Qi refining."
Wait, which cave did you just talk about? "
When the white-haired old man opened his mouth to explain, something suddenly came to his mind. He raised his head and asked the other person carefully.
The woman in purple clothes still had a smile on her face and gently spoke six characters to her.
"The first-class cave"
".."
Half an hour later, a green sword light suddenly fell from the sky and landed outside "Chiyanfang".
The monk of the Song family who was standing guard at the door saw the cyan figure not far away and froze in place with a look of surprise on his face!
Then he wiped his eyes again, and after confirming that he had seen correctly, he quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings to the ancestor!"
Song Qingyu, who had just arrived, waved his hand gently to the visitor, then ignored him and walked quickly into the market.
After Song Qingyu's figure disappeared, he came back to his senses nervously.
"The reaction in my eyes is really getting slower and slower. I haven't heard anything happened in the city today. How could I alert my ancestor to come here!"
After entering Fangshi, Song Qingyu quickly came to Fangshi's "Law Enforcement Hall". When he saw the two Song family monks who hurriedly came up to salute, he immediately asked:
"Tell me who is renting the cave!"
"Reporting to the ancestor, she is a woman who came here alone. Her cultivation seems to be only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. By the way, she said her name is Zilan!"
After hearing the old man beside him explain the situation carefully, Song Qingyu nodded slightly and said: "Okay, I understand, you must remember this and not disclose it to anyone!
Also, if anyone asks you about that person’s identity in the future, please send me a letter immediately. "
After giving instructions to the two people present, Song Qingyu left the "Law Enforcement Hall" and came to a cave at the top of Fang City's Back Mountain.
After taking a look at the restriction that had just been placed at the entrance of the cave, Song Qingyu used the magic in his hand and was about to cast a spell to transmit the sound, when he saw a ray of light suddenly flashing out of the cave.
"Well! You didn't come too late. It seems like they can send messages quite quickly!"
Seeing the purple-clothed woman suddenly appearing next to him, Song Qingyu quickly put away the spells in his hands and asked softly: "Why do fellow Taoists place so many restrictions outside the cave?
Are you planning to stay here for a long time? "
Hearing this, the woman in purple quickly waved her hands and said:
"That's not true. It's just that after so many years of following Master outside, I got used to being cautious, so I became more cautious now. Don't get me wrong, fellow Taoist!
Master is almost out of seclusion. She asked me to inform you that we will go to the place you mentioned with us in three months. "
"I haven't told you everything about that place, so why do you still need me to go with you?"
Facing the puzzled look on Song Qingyu's face, the woman in purple responded with a smile:
"I'm here just to convey a message for Master. I can't answer your question for now. Why don't you wait until you see Master in the future and ask him in person?
Don't worry, if we had any ill intentions towards you, you wouldn't be alive today.
You must have understood a lot of the mental methods that Master has given you, so you can’t even tell whether we are good or bad now! "
"I understand what you said, but you also know that I am just a monk from a small Jindan family, and I really don't want to get too involved in the affairs between Nascent Soul monks."
After Song Qingyu finished speaking, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.
"Since some things have chosen you, you can't escape easily. I've told you everything I need to say, and I won't stay with you for a long time.
This is the mental method that Master asked me to pass on to you for the subsequent golden elixir period. You should keep it first! "
After the purple-clothed woman finished speaking, she threw another roll of bamboo slips to Song Qingyu who was not far away, and then she disappeared in a flash.
Looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, Song Qingyu also had a look of surprise on his face, and he quickly picked up the bamboo slip and placed it on his forehead.
The purple-clothed woman who just left was the purple-clothed swordsman whom Song Qingyu met when he was inspecting "Yunwu Mountain" half a year ago.
And her master is an expert whose cultivation has broken through to the Nascent Soul realm.
At that time, after Song Qingyu was captured by the woman in purple, he followed her and met the woman in white who was hiding in the cave to heal her injuries.
As soon as he saw the powerful swordsmanship breath emanating from the woman in white, Song Qingyu immediately guessed that she should be the one who created the huge battlefield deep in the "Yunwu Mountain", and she was also very shocked in her heart.
What Song Qingyu didn't expect was that the woman in white could see Song Qingyu's sword cultivation inheritance at a glance, and informed Song Qingyu that the person who taught her sword cultivation was a Yuanying master who had been practicing for many years.
However, the woman in white did not explain much to her about the Yuanying master, nor did she tell her about the origin between them.
After asking some questions about how Song Qingyu obtained the inheritance, he put her back and gave Song Qingyu a mental method that could be used to practice the sword cultivation inheritance in the body.
But before Song Qingyu left at the end, the woman in white still asked her to make an oath not to reveal the affairs between them to anyone.
After returning to her family, Song Qingyu carefully understood the mental method given to her by the woman in white, and was extremely shocked when she discovered the mystery.
The mental method given to her by the woman in white could actually cooperate with the sword cultivation inheritance in her body, making her feel that her cultivation speed had obviously increased during her cultivation, which actually made Song Qingyu a little unbelievable.
They are both swordsmen, and they can recognize the swordsmanship inheritance obtained by Song Qingyu, which means that the woman in white should know where her inheritance comes from.
In addition, the bamboo slips of the mental method given to Song Qingyu by the woman in white can help her practice. There may be some connection between the two.
It's just that the other party has been unwilling to tell the truth, and insisted on taking them to find the senior cave that had been almost emptied by them. Song Qingyu was also confused and couldn't guess what they wanted.
Moreover, the woman in white seemed to have been seriously injured in the battle at "Yunwu Mountain", and she did not know what kind of powerful opponent she had provoked. Song Qingyu really did not want to get too involved with them.
However, due to the opponent's strength being too strong, Song Qingyu was unable to reject the opponent directly for a while, and could only take one step at a time.
Fortunately, judging from the current situation, the women in white did not harm themselves and were willing to give Song Qingyu the inner magic. It did not seem like they had any malicious intentions.
Otherwise, with the powerful swordsmanship aura of the woman in white, let alone Song Qingyu, a small golden elixir monk, even if Li Mufeng, the Supreme Elder of the "Xiaoyao Sect" takes action, he may not be able to defeat him.
"I told them that there was nothing inside, so why did they still need me to take them there? Could it be that there was something missing back then!"
After putting down the bamboo slip on his forehead, Song Qingyu stood there and thought for a moment, then shook his head, turned around and left the place.
——
"Donghuang Kingdom" the world of immortality.
Winter turned to spring in the blink of an eye, and Song Qingming had been on "Yuxuan Island" for more than half a year.
In a rice field outside "Yanhu Village", Song Qingming walked barefoot in the muddy rice field, scattering rice seeds evenly under his feet with a serious look on his face.
The scorching spring sun shines on the faces of every hard worker in the valley, giving them a golden color, as if heralding another good harvest.
Accompanied by the laughter of many companions around him, Song Qingming, with a few drops of sweat on his face, finally spread the rice seeds in his hands all over the rice field and slowly walked back to the field dam.
"Master Immortal, the dumplings made by mother and aunt have been delivered. Father calls you to come and have dinner with us."
After hearing a call from a muscular young man with dark skin on the field dam not far away, Song Qingming responded quickly and then walked to the ditch next to the rice field.
After cleaning the dirt on his body with the help of the flowing stream, Song Qingming took up the stream water and wiped the sweat on his forehead before reaching a shady place with his bare feet.
Seeing Song Qingming coming over, an elderly woman next to him quickly brought him a bowl of steaming dumplings.
"Thank you!"
After briefly greeting everyone, Song Qingming picked up the bowl and slowly put the dumplings with a hint of fragrance into his mouth.
As a person who loves to taste all kinds of food, no matter what good food he eats, Song Qingming will always slow down habitually to let himself feel more satisfaction brought by the delicious food in his mouth.
This habit, even when his cultivation has reached the golden elixir stage where he has long since gone away, is still always with him.
By the time Song Qingming finished eating a large bowl of dumplings, the woman had already put away the bowls and chopsticks that everyone around her had put down, and carefully came to Song Qingming.
"Master Immortal, I made a pair of shoes for Yun'er. This child has been busy practicing in the mountains these past few years and has nothing to do. Please, Master Immortal, could you help me bring them to him when you go back next time."
The Yun'er in the woman's mouth was her son, named Wang Qingyun. It was the child with spiritual roots that Song Qingming discovered at Wang Qin's house in "Yanhu Village".
Not seeing each other for decades, the elderly Wang Qin and his wife have long since left this world, and their son and daughter-in-law have become the same old people they were back then.
The only thing that hasn't changed here is that Song Qingming, an immortal master who only came here once every few decades, still has the same youthful appearance.
After the eldest son Wang Qingyun was found to have spiritual roots, he was taken to the mountains to practice cultivation within a few years and spent less time with his parents at home.
Seeing the expectant look on the woman's face, Song Qingming also remembered the look in his mother's eyes. He paused for a moment before taking a pair of brand new cloth shoes from her rough hands.
"Don't worry, I should be returning to the mountain in a few days, and I will definitely help you bring it to Qingyun."
Even on the "Yuxuan Island" far away from the world, there are differences between immortals and mortals.
For monks like Wang Qingyun who were born and raised on the island, except for a few fixed days when they can return home, even if they "join the world to practice", they have to make arrangements to go to other mortal villages and cannot stay directly in their own homes.
The woman was naturally happy that her son could have spiritual roots and become an immortal, but it was a pity that he could not always be by her side.
Although I have regrets, I can only keep them in my heart.
Seeing that Song Qingming agreed immediately and carefully put away the cloth shoes in his hand, the woman's face suddenly became a little more happy, and she quickly nodded in thanks.
After sunset, Song Qingming returned to the hut where he lived after a busy day.
After lighting the oil lamp and sitting down cross-legged, Song Qingming used the magic in his hand and immediately produced a thick classic, which he began to read lightly.
After arriving at "Taixu Sect" for more than half a year, Song Qingming spent most of his time in "Yanhu Village" at the foot of the mountain, except for occasionally returning to the mountain to help his fellow disciples and burn the runes for the sealing formation.
While experiencing the "cultivation in the world" task assigned by the sect, he studied these bamboo slips he borrowed from the "Taixu Hall" on the mountain.
Among these precious bamboo slips are various baby-making experiences left by the senior monks of the "Taixu Sect". After only studying for more than half a year, Song Qingming benefited a lot from them.
In addition, Song Qingming also took advantage of his breaks in practice to often visit his fourth senior brother Zheng Xingyun, who lived in the same village with him, for advice.
Although he was an outer sect disciple, Zheng Xingyun did not treat Song Qingming as an outsider when facing his junior brother. He taught Song Qingming in detail about his several experiences of forming a Nascent Soul.
Like Bai Yuxian, Zheng Xingyun also tried to break through the Nascent Soul realm twice before he finally succeeded in forming a Nascent Soul.
However, as an inner sect disciple of the "Taixu Sect" and a direct disciple of his master "Lingxu Taoist", a spiritual cultivator, the guidance and resources he could get were naturally not comparable to those of the ordinary Nascent Soul sect where Bai Yuxian was.
Although his aptitude and talent were not as good as those of a Tianlinggen cultivator like Bai Yuxian, Zheng Xingyun formed a Nascent Soul no later than Bai Yuxian. Both of them successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul realm at the age of less than 300.
In just over half a year, through continuous study and consultation in the "Taixu Sect", Song Qingming clearly felt that the Nascent Soul realm, which was originally very vague in front of him, gradually became much clearer.
Now he has a lot more confidence in his future Nascent Soul formation.
Although he dare not say that he can be absolutely sure of success in forming a Nascent Soul, Song Qingming has been practicing for so many years, and his heart has long been determined about his future path, and he will not give up easily because of a temporary setback in the future.
After returning, he will slowly digest the experience of forming a Nascent Soul that he has recorded. After another ten or twenty years of accumulating magic power, Song Qingming will be sure to return to the "Taixu Sect" to impact the Nascent Soul realm.
The moon sets and the sun rises. When the morning sun rises, Song Qingming slowly puts down the bamboo slips in his hand, gets up, opens the door and walks out of the house.
Just as he picked up the wooden basin outside the house and filled it with cold water, ready to wash himself, Song Qingming saw the figure of his fourth brother Zheng Xingyun walking in from outside the yard, and hurriedly put down the things in his hands and stepped forward to pay his respects to him.
"Junior Brother Song, Master has summoned us to return to the sect. Please pack up and go back quickly. I still need to say hello to other junior brothers!"
"Thank you for the message, Senior Brother!"
Hearing that it was his master who summoned him, Song Qingming did not dare to delay. He hurried back to his residence to pack up his belongings, and then turned into a beam of light and returned to the "Taixu Gate" on the mountain.
As soon as he arrived at the main hall of the mountain gate, Song Qingming saw Liu Yang standing in the crowd and greeting him, and hurriedly walked towards where he was.
"Senior Brother Liu, you are so anxious to have so many brothers come here this time. Are you preparing to set up a demon-killing formation?"
Hearing Song Qingming's low voice, Liu Yang nodded and said, "Senior Brother Song is right. I just asked my eldest brother. It is estimated that the formation will be set up soon.
Haha! After preparing for such a long time, Master is finally going to take action.
If we can kill the real demon in the upper realm in one fell swoop this time, we are all meritorious officials and we can probably get a lot of heavenly merits.
At least we don't have to worry about this hidden danger all the time in the future. Maybe the sect doesn't have to live in seclusion like this."
Speaking of this, Liu Yang's face also showed some excitement.
Hearing this, Song Qingming felt the same as Liu Yang.
The demon cultivators inherited from the outside world are not favored by the heaven in this world. The cultivators in this world can get some heavenly merits by killing those who practice the demon cultivator inheritance.
If one accumulates too much Heavenly Dao Merit, it can also remove the evil spirit formed by killing other creatures, and add a little more luck to the cultivators on their path.
Needless to say, killing the real demons in the upper realms will definitely bring a lot of Heavenly Dao Merit. Song Qingming also has some expectations for this.
While the two were talking, more and more disciples of the "Taixu Sect" gathered in the hall.
When almost everyone was there, "Lingxu Taoist" who changed into a clean Taoist robe walked in from outside with a calm face. (End of this chapter)
