After five thousand years of cultivating immortality, he was picked up and cultivated by Heaven.

The sun and the moon passed by, and Bai Qing woke up from his practice no matter how long it had passed.

This practice has stabilized the cultivation of the late seventh level of Qi refining. The instability at the beginning of the breakthrough has disappeared, and the spiritual power in the Dantian has become more condensed.

Bai Qing also discovered one thing. The talisman board in the Dantian can assist in practice. After the talisman board absorbs the spiritual energy in the Dantian, the overflowing spiritual energy will become more solid.

The spiritual energy in the Dantian is in the gaseous state during the Qi refining stage and in the liquid state during the foundation building stage.

The more condensed the spiritual energy in the Dantian is, the easier it is to build the foundation.

From the Qi refining stage to the foundation building stage is a process of continuous condensation of spiritual energy until it reaches a liquid state.

This discovery surprised Bai Qing.

There is hope for building a foundation and hope for longevity.

He raised his eyes to look at Song Yuyue and found that he had just opened his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Song, how long has it been?"

"In one and a half days, we will arrive at Lexian City soon."

"Ah, time flies so fast. It really takes no time to practice!"

Arriving at the city gate, Bai Qing put away the spirit boat.

After paying the entry fee, the two entered the city.

Because they are on different paths, Bai Qing plans to say goodbye to Song Yuyue here.

Before the words were spoken, Song Yuyue suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, a distant nephew of mine is getting married. I wonder if Friend Bai is interested in coming to watch the ceremony?"

"When?"

"tonight."

"Okay, where?" Bai Qing hesitated and agreed. It would be good to go and see the local customs.

"I'll pick you up then."

"Okay, I haven't seen anyone getting married here yet. It might be a good idea to go see them and gain some insights."

Bai Qing readily agreed, and then the two separated.

When I got home, I just felt relaxed all over. Although I had only been out for two days, I really missed the life at home. It made people happy physically and mentally, taking off my guard and relaxing my whole body.

As soon as Song Yuyue returned home, she was called to her father.

In the gorgeous and exquisite hall, one person sat at the top.

"See you, father." Song Yuyue bowed her hands respectfully.

"Get up." Song Yuyue stood up straight.

At this time, Song Yuyue's father, Song Weicheng, the head of the Song family, was sitting on the main seat, with a majestic expression on his face and a hint of displeasure.

"I heard that you went out alone with a casual cultivator? You were out for two days and two nights. What were you doing?" A majestic voice mixed with a hint of anger sounded.

Song Yuyue said expressionlessly, "I'm going to explore the cave of a late-stage Qi Refining monk. There's no danger, so I didn't ask the guards to follow me."

"You, you, do you know how many people are staring at you and the Song family? As long as there is a chance, they will never let you go. You must understand your situation."

Song Weicheng said loudly, obviously very angry.

"Father, don't worry, I understand."

"You just understand what's the use, and you're not disobeying your father again and again."

"Father, what do you want me to do?" Song Yuyue looked directly at Song Weichengdao.

"Don't associate with that casual cultivator anymore. His origins and origins are unknown. Our family has been investigating for so long but we haven't been able to find out his origins. It's like he appeared out of thin air. You don't want to have contact with such a person. He also goes out a lot. Bring some guards."

"Have you checked fellow Taoist?" Song Yuyue was a little angry.

"Of course, such an unidentified person must be found out, but he has not been found out. Otherwise, you would think that he could still be safe and sound in Lexian City because he possesses the secret skills of brewing. If it were not for the fear of the power behind him, how could he The family has already taken action.”

Song Yuyue frowned and said, "Will the Song family also take action?"

"Of course." Song Weicheng said matter-of-factly.

"No, the Song family wants to protect Fellow Daoist Bai." Song Yuyue said sternly.

"Why?" Song Weicheng glanced at Song Yuyue strangely.

"Because, because he is my friend." Song Yuyue's lips squirmed, and she finally said the word friend.

"I'll do my best." Song Weicheng was silent for a moment, sighed, and finally compromised.

"Thank you father."

After Song Yuyue left, an elegant and quiet young woman walked out from the back of the hall.

"Brother Cheng, why are you so harsh on Yu'er?"

This woman was Song Yuyue's mother, Liu Hongyun, who was Song Weicheng's first wife. The two were childhood sweethearts and only had one son, Song Yuyue, but Song Weicheng also had more than a dozen concubines and more than a dozen children.

The relationship between the two is no longer what it was before, and now they just treat each other with respect.

"Mei Yun, I'm doing this for Yu'er's own good." Song Weicheng said with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, reaching out to hold Liu Hongyun's hand.

But Liu Hongyun ignored him and avoided him. He touched his nose and felt bored, and his voice became a bit stern.

"Sister Yun, you don't understand."

"I only have one son, Yu'er. Now he finally has a like-minded friend. Don't interfere too much."

Liu Hongyun's voice was soft and weak, but her attitude was tough.

"The origin of Bai Qing is unknown, how can you trust Yu'er to associate with him?"

There was no trace of tenderness in Song Weicheng's eyes, and his voice became cold.

"Fellow Daoist Bai has no bad deeds. He is kind to others and has a kind heart. How can he be a bad person?"

"Bad people are good at pretending, you don't understand."

"Just like you?" Liu Hongyun's soft voice became sharp.

"Mei Yun, don't talk about the past anymore." Song Weicheng had a painful expression on his face.

"Humph!"

Liu Hongyun rolled up her sleeves and left the hall.

After a long time, a vague sigh came from the hall.

It turns out that when Song Yuyue was seven years old, she experienced a major change and saw her grandfather's family being slaughtered with her own eyes. From then on, her personality changed drastically.

Song Yuyue was originally lively and cute, Bingxue was smart, but later she became taciturn.

This incident was all due to Song Weicheng's careless friendship, which resulted in the tragic death of his father-in-law's family. Song Yuyue was able to save her life by carrying the family's protective token at the time.

Now, he gave that token to Bai Qing.

After leaving the main hall, everyone they met saluted Song Yuyue.

No matter how glorious he was, no matter how successful he was in cultivation, that kind figure would never come back, and Song Yuyue felt desolate in her heart.

However, now he seems to have met someone who makes people feel warm.

Bai Qing lay on the bed, thinking and summarizing the shortcomings of this exploration.

This expedition was a success.

Those ordinary pebbles are so useful for exploring paths. You can prepare more next time.

Bai Qing always feels that it is not too safe to use stones to explore the road.

It can be used in simple places. Like this time, if it is a complex mechanism formation, it probably won't work.

Advanced formations have the function of identifying body, soul, body temperature, etc. It depends on the idea of ​​the person setting up the formation. Simply using pebbles to explore the path may not activate the mechanism or formation.

It's easy to fall into a trap if you think it's safe.

Pebbles were not very reliable, so Bai Qing thought about what to use instead.

He remembered that there was a kind of stand-in puppet in the instrument book. He made a little figure out of the straw of spiritual rice. He carried it with him every day, and then used special techniques to make sacrifices. The scarecrow was contaminated with the owner's aura and could be used to explore the way, take the place of death, etc. .
