Chapter 864 Puppetry Skills, an Invitation (Revised)

After discussions by Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian, the "Narcissal Infant Celebration" will be held for him, which will be a year later.

Next, the "Xiaoyao Sect" will notify all the nearby immortal cultivation sects, and then they will also send people to "Guyang Mountain" to watch the ceremony and witness Song Qingming succeeding to the Supreme Elder of the "Xiaoyao Sect".

Originally, Song Qingming wanted to refuse the title first and wait for the "Nasty Infant Celebration" to talk about it later.

After all, I have not fully integrated into the sect so I just directly assumed the position of Supreme Elder, which seems a bit unruly in name.

However, Bai Yuxian had already discussed this matter with Li Mufeng and the others. Now Song Qingming has broken through the realm of the Nascent Soul. He doesn't have to worry about these red tape and can directly succeed the sect's Supreme Elder.

As for whether the Song family should directly integrate into the sect, it would not be too late to think about it slowly after Song Qingming took over the position of Supreme Elder of the Sect.

In the future, whether all the monks of the Song family want to integrate into the sect, or Song Qingming wants to continue to serve as the head of the Song family, these things can be decided by themselves, and the sect will not interfere too much.

But there is only one thing that the sect cares more about now.

That is, after Song Qingming took over as the Supreme Elder of the Sect, even if he had officially integrated into the sect, he would have to make an oath in the sect’s ancestors’ hall and would not betray the “Xiaoyao Sect” no matter what he encountered in the future.

Song Qingming didn't mind too much about this, and he nodded directly in front of Bai Yuxian without hesitation and agreed.

Now that the Song family is in the territory of Wei Kingdom, no matter what Song Qingming wants now, the family cannot completely get rid of its connection with the sect.

Before, Song Qingming was considering whether the sect would mind this matter after he had made a baby, and could not allow the Song family to continue to stay in Weiguo.

But at the critical moment when he was in seclusion and became a baby, the White Jade Immortal could represent the sect to protect himself for such a long time.

It has also proved from the indirection that the sect has not completely regarded itself as an outsider in his heart over the years, and it is worthy of his trust.

According to Bai Yuxian, the sect is not only willing to accept himself, but also allows him to continue to serve as the head of the Song family in the future without directly cutting off the relationship with the family.

This arrangement is indeed a very good choice for Song Qingming and the entire Song family today.

Song Qingming's cultivation level has now broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm. If he still refuses to express his opinion to integrate into the sect, in the eyes of outsiders, it must be that they have the intention to compete with the "Xiaoyao Sect" in the future.

With such a thing, the "Xiaoyao Sect" would never be able to let the Song family, a "Nasty Infant Family" with two hearts, continue to stay by their side to develop and develop strongly, and there will inevitably be a conflict between the two sides.

To protect the family, and to develop peacefully with the "Xiaoyao Sect", only Song Qingming, the ancestor of the family's Yuanying, can do both.

However, when both sides talk about this matter intact, they must make some concessions to each other.

After Song Qingming took over as the Supreme Elder, he could continue to serve as the head of the Song family and take care of the family. This was already considered an exception for him by the sect.

As long as you don’t let yourself leave the family completely, this is something that Song Qingming or the rest of the family can be directly accepted.

After the two sides agreed on this matter, both Bai Yuxian and Song Qingming had a look of satisfaction on their faces.

Soon, Bai Yuxian, who had completed the purpose of this trip, stood up and said goodbye.

After seeing off the White Jade Fairy, she saw that Huang Siyuan was already busy refining the alchemy, and Song Qingming did not return to the family's "Huixian Pavilion", but came directly to the cave where he was practicing.

As soon as he walked into the door, a dark wind blew into his face deep in the cave. Soon, it turned into a "blue-eyed white fox" in front of Song Qingming.

"Senior! Didn't you say you would go into seclusion for a while a few days ago? Why did you come out of seclusion so quickly?"

"I originally planned to stay in seclusion for a while, but your yin energy is insufficient and your spiritual energy is a little poor. It is really not a good place to stay. If you can't stay, you will come out and go around.

Don't worry, I have never left your cave and will not cause any trouble for you. ”

Hearing Qu Bai's complaint on the side, Song Qingming smiled slightly and said helplessly:

"Senior also knows that I have just formed a baby for a while, and this time I have spent most of my savings on my body. If I want to improve the level of the spiritual vein here, I may still need a lot of time to accumulate spirit stones.

If my seniors dislike my lack of yin energy, I will help you find a better place in the future.

Now my seniors already know where I live, so there is no need to stick with me all the time. It’s the same if I come to find me when I have something to do. ”

When he broke through the Nascent Soul realm before, because the other party helped a lot, he agreed to help Qu Bai do something. Song Qingming owed the other party a lot of favor.

Later, after he stabilized his cultivation, he was about to return to the "Fuyun Mountains" cultivation world. When Song Qingming took the initiative to ask Qu Bai whether he wanted to leave with him, he did not expect that the other party agreed immediately.

According to Qu Bai, he just wanted to go out for a walk, and Song Qingming agreed to help him, so he simply came to the "Floating Cloud Mountains" with him.

However, Qu Bai has no physical body, only the "primordial spirit body" is left, and it is difficult to come out to meet people easily. He still needs to hide in the "soul-raising wood" for the time being.

After hearing Song Qingming's helpless explanation, Qu Bai chuckled and nodded softly and said:

"Well! If you can find a suitable place for me to practice, it doesn't matter if I go there.

It’s just you kid, you seem to have offended many enemies. I am not by my side, so you need to be more careful in your future actions.

I don't want you to finally break through the Nascent Soul realm, and before you can help me, you die at the hands of someone else. ”

Before, when I saw that I had just returned to "Qinghe County", I ran into two demon cultivators of the "Blood Spirit Sect" who came to ask for trouble, which really made Song Qingming a little embarrassed.

At this moment, when he heard Qu Bai mention this matter again, he smiled bitterly on his face, and did not continue to explain, and nodded to Qu Bai seriously.

"Thank you for your advice!"

Seeing Qu Bai say a few words to him, he went to the side and looked through the many notes and classics stored in the cave. Song Qingming did not continue to disturb him and came directly to a closed stone chamber in the cave.

After several magic arrays were arranged on the spot, Song Qingming directly took out a bowl magic weapon and cast the two golden talismans sealed inside.

As soon as the spirit talisman appeared, two "natal souls" with yin energy emerged from the air and fled directly.

But the next moment, as Song Qingming casts the spell in his hand, the formation that was already ready to beside him immediately emits a golden light, imprisoning the two demon cultivators' souls directly in the air.

"This senior, the younger generation did not intend to offend us, but acted on orders. Please spare our lives!

"Yes, senior, I, the two of you, were also taken hostage by others. I hope you will ignore your past grudges and give us a chance to make contributions.

I am willing to make a vow, and I will abandon the darkness and turn to the light in the future, and serve my seniors and help you deal with the Red Blood Demon.

We have followed the old demon for many years and are well aware of his magical powers and magic weapons. We will definitely help our seniors! ”

".."

Hearing two sounds of begging for mercy in front of him, Song Qingming did not want to pay attention to the other party. He cast a spell at the "natal soul" of the two of them again and emitted a white spiritual light. Soon the entire stone chamber became quiet.

"Hmph! I can't believe these nonsense words like you who always deceive your master and destroy your ancestors. If you want to know, I'd better check it slowly by myself!"

After Song Qingming said something to himself, he first cast a spell to change his body shape.

Then he released his spiritual consciousness and directly penetrated into the "natal souls" of the two, and began to use the secret method of searching souls on them.

Now that she has reached the level of Yuanying, she will use the secret method of soul searching against two Golden Pill Demon Cultivators, which is obviously much easier than before.

It took less than half an hour to plunder all the secrets hidden in the "natal souls" of the two.

Not much different from what Song Qingming expected before. These two disciples of the "Blood Spirit Sect" are indeed the personal disciples of the "Blood Demon Ancestor", and they also came here to track them down on the orders of the old demon.

Moreover, these two people have been near the Song family for more than seven years.

It was not until Song Qingming left Wei State that he came to the Song family and lurked.

In recent years, the strange things related to the demon cultivators have happened near the Song family. They were all secretly manipulated by the two of them, just to lure Song Qingming, the head of the Song family.

However, at that time, Song Qingming had already been in seclusion in the offshore of the "East Sea Immortal Cultivation World" and had no way to care about what happened to the family.

The two of them made several secret actions, which only led to some foundation-building, Qi-refining cultivators, or sect law enforcement teams from the Song family, and they had never encountered core cultivators of the Song family.

In order not to alert the enemy, the two of them were very calm and did not attack the Song family monks easily. They just secretly controlled several people to help him investigate the situation on the "Funiu Mountain".

Until Song Qingyu returned to "Qinghe County", the two of them finally couldn't help it, so after some planning, they trapped Song Xuanting and others in "Caotou Mountain".

I wanted to use Song Xuanting and others as bait to capture Song Qingyu, the old ancestor of the Song family's Jindan, where I could find Song Qingming's traces from her.

(PS: Song Xuanting and the others had nothing to do, but they were rescued by Qingyu and the others later, so the two of them came back one step later than the demon cultivator.

I forgot to write this yesterday. I saw a book friend leave a message and wonder about this issue. I will explain it here. .

But what they didn't expect was that the plan had just been implemented, and the two unexpectedly received the news that Song Qingming returned to "Qinghe County".

I thought that Song Qingming was finally here, and that the two of them could quickly complete the task with their magic weapons, and go back to ask for me and receive rewards with the master "Red Blood Old Demon".

I didn't expect that when they met Song Qingming in "Chiyanfang", they realized that the other party had already broken through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Even though the two of them had the fourth-level magic weapon given by the "Red Blood Old Demon", they still had no power to fight back in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

In the end, not only did he fail to complete the task and go back to receive the reward, but he lost his life. Even the "natal soul" fell into Song Qingming's hands.

Shortly after Song Qingming searched the two of them, a black fog suddenly appeared in the "natal soul" of the two demon cultivators and quickly gathered into a figure in the air.

Seeing this familiar scene, Song Qingming immediately understood, cast a spell in his hand quickly, and directly released a natal sword light with the "Xuanyang Flame".

Before the black fog could take shape, the sword light emitted by Song Qingming had already passed through the two of them's "natal souls", and a scream came from mid-air.

"Huh! How could it be a Nascent Soul monk? Could it be...?"

The black smoke that had just formed in the air was surprised when it saw Song Qingming, who looked a little strange.

But before he could finish his words, the sword light controlled by Song Qingming passed through the black fog again, dispersing the black shadow that had just formed in the air.

"This old demon is really hard to deal with. I didn't expect that he would notice it before I made a move this time."

Song Qingming smiled slightly, then raised his hand again and took back the bowl magic weapon in the air.

In addition to losing the "birth soul" of the two demon cultivators, Song Qingming took out all the storage magic weapons he had seized from them before.

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one forum!

Because of the previous soul search of the two "birth souls", Song Qingming had already obtained the formula for opening the magic weapon, and opened both storage magic weapons without much effort.

However, what disappointed him was that these two people were similar to the Jindan demon cultivators such as Ma Wuchen he had met before, and they were also very poor.

In addition to some useless pills and magic weapons stained with demonic energy, the total amount of spiritual stones on the two people was less than 30,000, which really made Song Qingming speechless.

With the experience of dealing with demon cultivators before, Song Qingming also roughly knew some reasons.

The reason why these demon cultivators could not find a few spiritual stones on them was not because they were really so poor.

It was because these people were often hunted down by righteous cultivators and hid everywhere, so they left a lot of backups and caves outside, just in case they needed to seize the body and make a comeback.

Just like Ma Wuchen at the beginning, most of the spiritual objects they accumulated were hidden in these hidden caves, and they only carried very few things they needed for daily cultivation.

After learning that the caves where the two had kept their backs were all in strange places far away from Weiguo, Song Qingming temporarily gave up the idea of ​​going there to search for spiritual objects, and could only wait for a chance in the future.

After sorting out the spiritual stones and magic weapons in front of him, Song Qingming took out the fourth-level magic weapon "Blood Spirit Ten Thousand Bones Plate" that he had seized before, and looked at it carefully.

This fourth-level magic weapon is also the most valuable thing Song Qingming got from the two of them.

Although the "Blood Spirit Ten Thousand Bones Plate" is a magic weapon stained with demonic energy, and it was damaged in the previous battle with Song Qingming.

However, this thing is a very rare fourth-level magic weapon after all. Even if the demonic energy on it cannot be completely removed, it can be directly decomposed into a lot of high-level materials through high-level refiners.

How to say its value, at least it can be equivalent to a good third-level upper-grade magic weapon, which is Song Qingming's biggest gain this time.

After dealing with the magic objects in front of him, Song Qingming cast a spell again to take out a black scroll, and began to open the scroll and study it carefully.

This black scroll is the secret method of "refining puppets" that Song Qingming got from Qu Bai before.

After returning to the family, in addition to his own cultivation, Song Qingming, who stayed in the cave, had nothing else to do, and just had a lot of free time.

While Qu Bai was still with him, Song Qingming also began to study this thing seriously these days, and took the initiative to ask Qu Bai for advice when he didn't understand something.

Facing Song Qingming who was humbly asking for advice, Qu Bai, the senior, was not too stingy with him. He taught Song Qingming everything he knew without any reservation.

However, after learning the secret method of "refining puppets" for a period of time, Song Qingming could only refine some of the lowest-level puppets. His talent in this aspect was really not high, and Qu Bai laughed at him for this.

But Song Qingming himself was not too disappointed about this. After all, he had known about the way of puppets for a long time and knew that those who were proficient in this way were mostly talented.

Even though he had limited talent in this area, Song Qingming still did not give up easily. He still spent a lot of time studying this way. Finally, after more than half a year of continuous attempts, he successfully refined the first level 2 "puppet beast".

For an ordinary cultivator, being able to improve the "puppet skills" to the second level lower grade in half a year is definitely a gifted thing that people can envy.

However, Song Qingming is now a Yuanying cultivator after all, and he has sufficient materials sent by his family, as well as the incomplete map to help restore his own mana. Learning these low-level "cultivation skills" will naturally be much easier than ordinary cultivators.

In addition, there is the constant guidance of Qu Bai, a high-level "puppet master", and it still took more than half a year to improve to level 2, which is actually not particularly fast for him.

Fortunately, after spending so much energy and working for such a long time, the "puppet skills" he learned have finally made progress, and Song Qingming is also more relieved for this.

As long as he can spend more time on this in the future, he should be able to upgrade his "puppet skills" to level three, and then he will be able to refine a useful Jindan-stage "puppet beast" to enhance his "Wanling Puppet Array" that he has practiced for many years.

Compared with others, Song Qingming, who can quickly restore mana, does have a considerable advantage in learning "immortal cultivation skills".

Otherwise, it would be difficult for ordinary people to make up their minds and spend so much time to study a "immortal cultivation skill" like this.

Even Qu Bai felt that Song Qingming was not very talented in this area at first, and wanted to persuade him not to waste energy and time on this, but in the end Song Qingming still relied on hard work to persevere and finally got the results he wanted.

After raising his "puppet skills" to level two, Song Qingming ordered Song Yuanfang and others to find a way to collect a large number of puppet refining materials above level two and continue to study "puppet skills" to a higher level.

However, the cultivation resources in Weiguo are relatively poor. Even for a relatively powerful immortal cultivation family like the Song family, it is not easy to collect a large number of puppet refining materials above level two in a short period of time.

In order to speed up his own improvement in "puppet skills", Song Qingming needs to think of other ways.

——

Half a year later, outside Funiushan in "Qinghe County".

On this day, the wind was fine and the sun was shining on the earth. A sword light suddenly flew across the sky and came directly to the front of the mountain protection formation of "Funiu Mountain".

The man was wearing a gray Taoist robe. After putting away the flying sword under his feet, he immediately put on a smile on his face and walked quickly to the mountain gate below.

At this time, seeing someone coming from a distance, three Qi Refining cultivators wearing Song family clothes hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. They bowed and saluted with a respectful face:

"Junior greets the senior. I wonder why the senior came to my Funiu Mountain?"

Hearing this, the gray-robed cultivator smiled and waved his hand and said: "I am Qiu Yunhe, the deacon of the General Affairs Hall of Xiaoyao Sect.

This time I came to deliver a letter. Please let me know that I want to see Taoist Yuan Fang."

After the gray-robed cultivator finished speaking, he took out a jade token that could prove his identity.

Seeing the jade token that only the foundation-building cultivators of the "Xiaoyao Sect" could hold, the Song family cultivator at the door hurriedly smiled and nodded to it.

"Oh! It's Senior Qiu. We are so rude.

The Great Elder has already said that all the seniors from the sect who come here should not be neglected.

Please go to the hall to rest for a while. We will report to the Great Elder immediately!"

Soon, the news from the mountain reached Song Yuanfang who was busy in the family's "meeting room".

Soon, the Great Elder of the Song family personally led people down the mountain to greet him and took the deacon of the sect's "General Affairs Hall" to a reception room on the mountain.

As soon as the two sat down, Song Yuanfang had someone bring a pot of spiritual tea, then dismissed the people around him and said to Qiu Yunhe with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu has come from afar, and I did not come to greet you. I hope I am rude.

I don't know why you are here, but has Senior Xu replied to the matter of the Yinfeng Ridge mine?"

After hearing this, Qiu Yunhe took a sip of tea, smiled and nodded to Song Yuanfang and said:

"Fellow Daoist Song guessed correctly. Uncle Xu has indeed agreed to the matter of Yinfeng Ridge.

However, I came here today, in addition to telling you the news, I also have an invitation to give to you on behalf of the sect."

"Invitation! Is there another happy event in the sect?"

Hearing what Qiu Yunhe said, Song Yuanfang's face, which was originally a little happy, suddenly showed a hint of surprise, and then hurriedly took the red invitation from the other party.

"Haha! I am just here to deliver the letter, and I don't know the content. You will know what it is when you open it later.

This matter is very important. I hope you will tell the ancestors as soon as you know it.

I have to deliver the letter to other places, so I won't bother you too much here?"

After handing the invitation to Song Yuanfang, Qiu Yunhe did not stay for too long and immediately stood up to say goodbye.

(I am very sorry. I have been a little dizzy these days, and my writing is a bit bad. I revised the content of the next few hundred words. I hope you can forgive me.) (End of this chapter)
