Chapter 841: Soul Gathering Tree, Black Shadow in the Water (Asking for Monthly Votes)

Looking at the natal golden elixir that had been tempered by the heaven and earth energy not far in front of him, Song Changze, who knew that he had successfully advanced to the golden elixir realm, was also a little excited.

As the first younger cultivator in the family to impact the golden elixir realm in addition to Song Qingming and the other three, Song Changze was very outstanding in both his spiritual root qualifications and his own cultivation talent.

Over the years, he himself practiced very hard, and with the full support of the elders of the family, he was able to achieve today's achievements.

Song Changze's path of cultivation has been full of twists and turns, and he has also experienced some failures and setbacks.

But he is still lucky. He caught up with the good time for the family to grow and develop. Whether it is building a foundation or forming an elixir, he has received a lot of help from the family. Assistance

Although the first time to form an elixir was not very smooth, Song Changze did not affect himself because of the previous failure. After patiently healing his injuries, he soon mustered up the courage to impact the golden elixir realm again, and thus successfully formed an elixir in one fell swoop and witnessed his own golden elixir road.

After taking his own life inner elixir back into his body, Song Changze, who had just successfully formed an elixir, did not rush out of retreat. He spent several months to stabilize his cultivation before he walked out of the "Tandi Cave".

At this time, not only the two family ancestors Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, but also many family elders such as Song Yuanfang and Song Yuanhao, as well as his Taoist partner Liu Yuxin, whose face was already tearful, were waiting for him.

Everyone looked at the family elder who had just successfully formed an elixir, feeling relieved, excited, and envious.

Seeing Song Qingming and others waiting outside the door, Song Changze was also very happy in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow to the two family ancestors standing in front of him.

"Changze has cultivated and achieved the Tao in this life. Thanks to the support of the family all the way, he can live up to the expectations of the ancestors!"

Looking at Song Changze, who had successfully formed an elixir and was still polite, Song Qingming nodded with relief and stepped forward to personally help him up.

"You can form a golden elixir. Although the family has support, it is ultimately the result of personal hard work and cultivation. You don't have to be so polite to us.

Changze has formed a golden elixir, and he will be the family's supreme elder in the future. You should all follow his example and work hard to cultivate and achieve the great way as soon as possible."

Hearing what the clan leader Song Qingming said, many clan elders present immediately turned around and bowed solemnly to Song Changze not far away.

"Greetings to the supreme elder, congratulations to the ancestor for achieving the great way of golden elixir!"

——

After Song Changze successfully formed a golden elixir, Song Qingming did not let him return to "Funiu Mountain", but let him stay in "Tan Di Dong Fu" to continue practicing.

He planned to let him refine his life magic weapon here, and then go directly to "Chixing Sea Area" to help Song Xuanqing and others sit in "Heiyun Island".

After hearing the news that the family arranged for him to go to "East Sea Xiuxian Realm", Song Changze and Liu Yuxin and his wife did not have any objections and nodded in agreement immediately.

Liu Yuxin had lived in the "East Sea Immortal Cultivation World" for many years, and was very familiar with the local customs and practices there. There were not many obstacles for her to go there to practice.

Moreover, Liu Yuxin had many friends in the "East Sea Immortal Cultivation World", and her master He Mengxin was also in the Baihua Palace not far from the "Red Star Sea".

If she encountered any emergency in the "Black Cloud Island" in the future, she could go to He Mengxin for help, which was also what Song Qingming was more relieved about.

Because Liu Yuxin's cultivation had successfully broken through to the ninth level of foundation building a few years ago, and it was not far from the impact of the Golden Core Realm.

Before the two of them left, Song Qingming handed over the Dan-forming spiritual objects that had been prepared for Liu Yuxin to them.

With Song Changze, a Golden Core cultivator, and a "Spiritual Spring" on the "Black Cloud Island", Liu Yuxin could try to form a Dan directly in the East Sea Immortal Cultivation World in the future, without having to return to the Floating Cloud Mountains.

Because Song Qingming strictly controlled the news this time, Song Changze's successful formation of the elixir was unknown to others except the elders of the family who were at the foundation building stage.

However, the sudden departure of Song Changze and Liu Yuxin still caused some rumors outside, including many speculations that he might be in seclusion to break through the golden elixir realm.

In response, they deliberately released the news, claiming that Song Changze and his wife went to the "East Sea Xiuxian Realm" to travel together.

For cultivators like them who have reached the late stage of foundation building, it is not uncommon to travel outside. In addition, Liu Yuxin was originally a cultivator from the "East Sea Xiuxian Realm", so it makes sense.

After sending Song Changze and his wife away, "Funiu Mountain" soon calmed down again.

Song Qingming still focused on his cultivation and stepped up his preparations to break through the Yuanying realm.

Huang Siyuan successfully advanced to the third-level upper-grade alchemist because of her breakthrough in alchemy skills. In addition to daily practice, she also has a strong interest in alchemy. She will receive many high-level alchemy tasks from the "Tian Dan League".

As a third-level upper-grade alchemist, the alchemy tasks Huang Siyuan received from the "Tian Dan League" not only allow her to quickly improve her alchemy skills, but also help her earn a lot of spiritual stones.

Whether it is the "East Sea Xiuxian World" or the Floating Cloud Mountains, alchemists above the fourth level are very rare. A third-level upper-grade alchemist like Huang Siyuan is already the highest-level alchemist that cultivators from all sides can contact on the market.

In addition to being able to undertake alchemy tasks directly assigned by the "Tian Dan League", many Jindan cultivators came here to ask Huang Siyuan to help them refine high-level spiritual pills.

These people have traveled thousands of miles to ask for help, so their bids are naturally relatively generous.

In just the past few years, Huang Siyuan relied on her alchemy skills to successfully replenish all the spiritual stones she had lost due to improving her alchemy skills.

——

The world of immortality in the East China Sea.

Located in the southeastern outer sea of ​​the East China Sea Cultivation World, there is a huge abyss surrounded by countless desert islands.

Many years ago, this place was also a fairyland with birds singing and flowers fragrant, but its ground was completely destroyed in an ancient war.

As a result, the spiritual energy around the abyss was very disordered, and even the seawater was divided into special shapes of varying heights when it reached here. A huge abyss tens of thousands of miles long, wide and bottomless was formed in the middle of these desert islands.

Although tens of thousands of years have passed since the ancient war, there are still countless remaining palace buildings left over from ancient times around the abyss, attracting many monsters and beasts to occupy them.

In a palace covered by seawater deep in the abyss, a figure in black was standing in front of a somewhat damaged magic circle, casting spells to repair the talismans on it.

Not long after, as the woman in black stuffed a medium-grade spiritual stone in her hand into a groove around the magic circle, the entire magic circle suddenly shook, and then a dazzling spiritual light emitted in the hall.

Seeing that the magic circle in front of her finally reacted, the woman in black immediately cast a spell and sent out a sound transmission.

Not long after, another figure in green flew from the door of the hall and landed in front of the woman in black.

"Senior Sister Xuanyi, has this been successful?"

Seeing the magical formation with aura not far away, Song Qingyu, who had some beads of sweat on his forehead, immediately asked with a happy face.

Hearing this, Li Xuanyi's face was already filled with joy and he nodded quickly and said: "Yes, don't worry, I have seen this ancient magic circle before in the sect.

Although my level of formation is not high, it will be a little troublesome, but it is not a problem to repair it. "

"That's great. There are too many endless ghosts outside. If I can't open the magic circle again, I'm afraid I'll die from exhaustion even if I'm not injured!"

While the two were talking, a gust of dark wind suddenly blew outside the hall, followed by the sound of ghosts crying and howling, making Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi frown again.

"Qing Yu, this magic circle hasn't been activated for I don't know how many years, and I don't know if there will be any problems. I still need to test it first to see what happens!

Those ghosts outside, I need you to help support them first.

Don't worry, we should be able to get in soon. "

Song Qingyu, who had just taken a breath, immediately shook his head helplessly after hearing this, and then left the place.

After Song Qingyu left, Li Xuanyi's eyes shifted to the magic circle in front of him, and then with a movement of magic power in his hand, a spiritual light quickly came out of his hand and landed on the magic circle.

This palace located deep in the abyss is actually a ruins discovered by Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu when they visited the "East China Sea Cultivation World" decades ago.

At that time, Li Xuanyi wanted to collect a ghost king's inner elixir and asked around for news about high-level ghosts. It took a lot of effort to find a land of ghosts deep in the abyss.

When the two of them were searching for the Ghost King nearby, they accidentally discovered a forbidden area by Song Qingyu, and then found the hall.

At that time, there was also a very powerful late-stage Golden Core Ghost King in the hall. With the help of the favorable location and the help of many low-level ghosts, Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi were not able to take advantage at all.

The two of them were only in the middle stage of Golden Core cultivation at that time. They fought several battles but still lost to these ghosts. In the end, they could only leave the hall with some disappointment.

However, during the battle, Li Xuanyi also discovered that the magic circle in the hall was very similar to an ancient "teleportation magic circle" she had seen in the "Taixu Gate".

I guess there should be a secret realm or something hidden behind this "teleportation circle".

So the two of them later made an appointment to come here to explore this "teleportation array" after their respective cultivations have reached the late stage of the Golden Core and they have the strength to deal with the late Golden Core Ghost King!

The last time Song Qingming went to the "East Phoenix Kingdom", Song Qingyu asked him to help deliver a letter to senior sister Li Xuanyi. In fact, it was to remind Li Xuanyi of the appointment they had made.

It's just that Song Qingming didn't know the inside story clearly, and he was almost misunderstood by the Li family because of it.

Compared with Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu who were only in the middle stage of Golden Core many years ago, the cultivation bases of the two people visiting here this time have broken through to the late stage of Golden Core, and their strength is no longer comparable to that of before.

As for the peak golden elixir ghost king, due to the slow progress in practicing ghost cultivation, even after decades, his strength still hasn't changed much.

After Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi returned here again, the two of them joined forces to fight and finally succeeded in killing the ghost king and forcibly drove out all the ghosts in the hall.

Next, Song Qingyu and the two spent nearly a full year here, until now Li Xuanyi finally succeeded in restoring the "Teleportation Array" in front of him with the help of the repair method he had seen from the "Taixu Sect". operation.

Although it took a lot of time, the two of them finally succeeded in repairing the "teleportation circle", and they couldn't help but feel extremely happy for this.

A few days later, in an extremely dark hall, with a flash of spiritual light, Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi successfully appeared above a formation platform at the entrance of the hall.

Seeing the darkness all around, Li Xuanyi immediately took out a glowing night pearl and held it above the two heads.

Under the cover of white light, the surroundings gradually began to become clearer, and the two found themselves in a hall that was more than ten feet high.

It seems that due to being in disrepair and being located under the seabed, the surroundings of the hall are now filled with seawater. Only the "Teleportation Formation" where the two of them are located is not completely covered by seawater because it is on a higher ground.

After carefully scanning the surroundings and confirming that there was no danger, Li Xuanyi took Song Qingyu and flew deep into the hall ahead.

In addition to being tall at the top, this palace located on the seabed is also very wide all around.

The two of them flew forward for several miles along the surrounding stone pillars exposed in the water, before they discovered a tall stone platform standing in the water in front of them.

The stone platform was made of huge bluestones from bottom to top, and the steps extended up from the water. However, the palace in the middle above was shrouded in a layer of clouds, and the two of them could not see clearly what was inside.

Realizing that the situation ahead was unclear, Li Xuanyi quickly stretched out his hand to stop Song Qingyu beside him, and said with a somewhat cautious expression:

"Qingyu, don't worry. In a place like this built by ancient monks, there may be some restrictions. I'll go in first to check the situation. You can go in after I confirm everything is fine."

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)

After speaking, Li Xuanyi took out a magic weapon to protect himself and entered the thick fog ahead without waiting for Song Qingyu's consent.

Seeing this situation, Song Qingyu took out his own magic weapon and carefully stayed in place.

After Li Xuanyi entered the white mist, there was no movement inside, and no news came after a long time.

It wasn't until Song Qingyu outside couldn't hold it any longer and was about to send the transmission talisman prepared in his hand inside that the white mist surrounding the high platform suddenly dispersed, revealing the true appearance that was hidden inside.

As soon as the white mist dissipated, Song Qingyu saw Li Xuanyi standing on the side of the high platform, and quickly flew over and landed next to her.

"Sister Li, are you okay? What happened just now?"

Hearing Song Qingyu's inquiry, Li Xuanyi smiled and pointed to a formation on the side, and said with a somewhat proud expression:

"I thought that this ancient magic formation would be difficult to crack, but I didn't expect that I would close it immediately after trying it. It seems that my talent for this formation is not low. When I go back this time, I must find an opportunity to communicate with Junior Brother Song. Please ask for advice.”

"Haha! Although Senior Sister's formation skills are not as good as those of Seventh Brother, she is much better than me.

Fortunately, you are here. If I were to break the formation, I would probably have to go back and ask Brother Seven for help. "

Seeing that Li Xuanyi had successfully cracked the "ancient magic circle" outside so quickly, Song Qingyu also looked surprised and hurriedly said a few compliments.

Li Xuanyi smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to the high platform above and said with a hint of excitement:

"There is a magic circle covering this place, so there must be something hidden. It seems that our trip this time is not in vain!"

Hearing this, Song Qingyu also nodded expectantly.

"Sister Li, it's not too late, let's go up quickly!"

The two of them immediately stepped on the steps and walked up step by step, arriving on the high platform in just a moment.

This high platform is very flat and open, with a square shape of about forty to fifty feet wide.

After Song Qingyu and the others climbed onto the high platform, they glanced around and soon saw a pool not far ahead.

In the water of the pool, several elixir plants glowing with light were exuding some dazzling spiritual things, which firmly attracted the attention of the two people.

"I didn't expect to find high-level elixirs here. This trip is finally worth it!"

Seeing the many spiritual creatures in the pool, Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi looked at each other, immediately smiled knowingly, and walked quickly towards the pool.

"This is a fourth-level soul-gathering wood. I am afraid it has been used as medicine for tens of thousands of years. No wonder the yin energy outside is so strong. Those ghosts have been hovering nearby, probably looking for this thing."

Li Xuanyi, who came to the edge of the pool, did not pay attention to the third-level elixirs in the pool that were glowing with dazzling light. Instead, he looked at an ordinary-looking black spiritual tree beside the pool with a slightly shocked expression.

It is covered with black spiritual wood, about the thickness of a finger, and about three feet tall. The whole body is completely black and no other color can be seen.

At first, when they were standing in the distance, the two of them didn't notice it. It wasn't until they got closer to the pool that they discovered the inconspicuous "soul-gathering tree".

"Soul-Gathering Wood" is a very rare high-level spiritual object in the world of immortality. It usually grows in places with strong Yin Qi.

The ten-thousand-year-old "soul-gathering wood" that has reached the fourth level or above can not only be used to refine magic weapons above the fourth level, but also can enhance the monk's soul by carrying it on the body.

In addition, the "Soul Gathering Wood" is also very helpful for ghost cultivators to practice their souls. It is also the favorite place for ghost cultivators to stay.

The Golden Core Peak Ghost King that Li Xuanyi and I met outside the "Teleportation Array" before would be entrenched in the hall all year round, and was probably attracted by the aura of the "Soul Gathering Wood".

It's just that these ghost cultivators have limited spiritual intelligence and have difficulty understanding the formation, and cannot repair the damaged "teleportation formation" outside, so they have been unable to enter.

Compared with the fourth-level "soul-gathering tree" that can no longer be measured by the value of spiritual stones, the value of several other third-level elixirs in the pool is not worth mentioning.

"Senior Sister Li, how do you take away this soul-gathering wood? Should you just cut it off?"

Song Qingyu was born in a Jindan family like the Song family, and there is still some gap between him and Li Xuanyi in terms of personal knowledge. Although he has heard of the "soul-gathering tree" from others, he is not familiar with this kind of high-level spirit that is rare in the world of immortality. Mu doesn't know much.

Hearing this, Li Xuanyi immediately shook his head and said:

“The Yin Spirit Qi contained in the Soul-Gathering Wood is of extremely high value. If the Spirit Wood is directly cut off and damaged, and the Yin Spirit Qi is lost, the value of this item will be greatly reduced.

It must be uprooted to keep the Yin spirit alive.

Qingyu, go pick those elixirs, but let me do the soul-gathering wood! "

After the two of them completed their division of labor, Song Qingyu took the lead in coming to the pool and took out several prepared wooden boxes, preparing to hold the picked elixirs for a while.

On Li Xuanyi's side, he began to cast spells on the "Soul Gathering Wood" in front of him, preparing to pull it out of the pool!

Just as the two were concentrating on picking the spiritual objects in the pool, Li Xuanyi suddenly felt a very slight noise coming from under the pool. He immediately stopped what he was doing and pulled Song Qingyu aside and quickly retreated back.

"Qingyu, be careful, there seems to be something down there!"

Hearing what senior sister Li Xuanyi said, Song Qingyu's face suddenly became a little nervous. After putting away the elixir he had just obtained, he quickly cast a spell to summon his own magic weapon "Xuanming Golden Light Sword".

Before the two of them could react, a black mist suddenly appeared in the water in the distance, followed by splashes of water, and a figure wrapped in a black robe jumped out of the pool and into the air.

Seeing that the aura emanating from this black-robed figure was far greater than that of the two of them, and that it seemed that it was about to reach the half-step Nascent Soul realm, Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu suddenly looked surprised on their faces, and they couldn't help but frown.

"May I ask who you are and why you are here?"

"Qing Yu, the aura on this guy is wrong, he seems to be a puppet!"

Because he had practiced the secret method of controlling "corpse puppets" in his family since he was a child, Li Xuanyi was able to sense the aura of a puppet far better than others, and it only took him a moment to realize that the other person did not have the aura that a living person should have.

Generally, puppets would be controlled by monks behind the scenes. Seeing this black-robed figure suddenly appear, Li Xuanyi's eyes immediately began to search around quickly.

But what surprised her was that no other monks could be found around the platform.

"This guy is a bit tricky, Qingyu, let's retreat first!"

Seeing that the puppet in front of him was a bit difficult to deal with, Li Xuanyi glanced at the "Soul Gathering Wood" in the pool, and then chose to evacuate decisively, flying back with Song Qingyu.

But before the two of them could leave the high platform, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and a large cloud of white mist appeared, covering the entire high platform, instantly blocking their regretful steps.

At the same time, the black-robed figure in mid-air turned into a ray of light and headed towards where the two of them were.

Seeing that the formations around the high platform suddenly recovered, Li Xuanyi, who was trapped in the formation, immediately felt that the two of them had been plotted against him, and a somewhat ugly look appeared on his face.

"Qingyu, I'll stop him first, and you can find a way to break through the formation quickly!"

Seeing that the figure in black robe was about to kill him, Li Xuanyi said with a solemn expression, then decisively took out his magic weapon and rushed forward.
