Chapter 276: Advancing to the Late Stage of Foundation Building

Xue Mei found that it was difficult for her to escape from the stone palace on her own, so she wanted to use external power. ơɱ

With the power of her soul, she found some jade slips left behind at the bottom of the lake.

She erased the original content from the jade slips and attached a map of the Blood Cloud Cave and the small island in the middle of the underground lake.

Xue Mei used her soul power to throw the jade slip into the underground river. The jade slip was carried by the river water and flowed down.

She hoped that the jade slips would be washed away to the outside world and discovered by immortal cultivators, who would lead them to hunt for treasure so that she could be rescued.

I don’t know how many years have passed since I waited.

The soul-nurturing wood used to make the 'soul shackle' is almost exhausted.

Once the spirit of the soul-nurturing wood is exhausted, the magic patterns on the 'soul shackles' will directly act on Xue Mei's soul, causing his soul to fly away.

This is the backhand left by the Divine Blood Sect.

Xue Mei's plan finally succeeded.

Zhong Liang got one of the jade slips and took Tang Fu and others to find the stone palace in the center of the underground lake, overturned the bronze corpse coffin and released the 'soul shackles'.

Then, by chance, Song Wen used the Great Hole Divine Thunder from the Nine Heavenly Thunder Secret Techniques to break the seal on the 'Soul Shackle' and help Xue Mei escape from the trap.

The two bloody jade slips in Song Wen's hand were also left by Xue Mei.

The purpose is to lure the treasure hunter and help her unlock the 'soul shackles' seal.

After all, Xue Mei was a powerful Yuanying warrior tens of thousands of years ago, and he must have known and practiced many ancient techniques and secrets.

After knowing the identity of Xue Mei, some powerful monks will inevitably be greedy, so as to help Xue Mei escape from the 'soul shackles' in exchange for the secret skills and techniques from tens of thousands of years ago.

Song Wen destroyed the jade slip of Xuemei's autobiography, put away the jade slip of "The Reincarnation of the Corpse King", and took out the bronze corpse coffin.

This bronze corpse coffin is more than ten feet long and is covered with long-standing and ancient decorations.

But there was no spiritual power fluctuation, as if it were an ordinary coffin.

Song Wen injected spiritual power and tried to refine it.

As a result, the bronze corpse coffin showed no response.

After many unsuccessful attempts, Song Wen conveniently put the corpse coffin into the storage ring.

Song Wen left the temporary cave and came to the cliff where Zuo Shuiyun was retreating with his sword.

Zuo Shuiyun hadn't left seclusion yet, and Song Wen didn't bother him, and was practicing breath regulation in the cave nearby.

Five days later.

Mao Shi four quarters.

It's when the sun rises.

Song Wen was standing in the sky, looking at the first ray of morning light in the sky.

He suddenly realized that Zuo Shuiyun's cave had opened.

Zuo Shuiyun looked tired and staggered out of the temporary cave.

When she noticed Song Wen in mid-air, an inexplicable flash of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

"Junior Brother Wu, have you settled everything? When did you come back?"

"Back to Senior Sister Zuo, I came back five days ago." Song Wen turned around and looked at Zuo Shuiyun.

Song Wen felt a little strange. When he came back, he didn't deliberately hide his aura.

Zuo Shuiyun didn't notice and returned by herself?

Being in seclusion in such a strange place, her mind was a little too focused.

Song Wen quickly noticed that Zuo Shuiyun had a spirit beast bag on her waist.

Zuo Shuiyun saw Song Wen looking at the spirit beast bag.

Suddenly, she became a little embarrassed and panicked.

She moved her sleeves and covered the spirit beast bag.

There is quite a sense of concealment.

Zuo Shuiyun hurriedly changed the topic.

"Junior Brother Wu, how do you plan to report the Cheng family's affairs to the sect?"

Song Wen naturally noticed Zuo Shuiyun's little movements.

Song Wen knew in his heart that Zuo Shuiyun didn't want too many people to know that she had conquered the blood demon of the Cheng family.

"Of course I'm reporting it truthfully." Song Wen pretended to be confused.

Hearing this, Zuo Shuiyun was slightly dazed. After a moment, she nodded and said.

"It should be reported truthfully. Cheng Ruida lost his conscience and fed the demon with his clan members. In the end, the blood demon came back and died together with Cheng Ruida. That's what happened. What do you think, Junior Brother Wu?"

Song Wen looked confused, "Senior Sister Zuo, what are you...?"

"Junior Brother Wu, there is no need to pretend. You are a smart man and you should understand what I mean."

Song Wen smiled slightly when he heard this.

"What the senior sister said is true. The blood demon and Cheng Ruida did die together. But in the battle with the blood demon, junior brother, I was also seriously injured. I'm afraid I need to take a lot of elixirs and herbs to recover."

Zuo Shuiyun stared at Song Wen coldly.

She knew very well that Song Wen was not injured at all in the battle with the Cheng family.

Song Wen said this, but he was taking the opportunity to seek benefits.

"Junior Brother Wu, Cheng Ruida and Cheng Han's storage rings have all fallen into your hands. Aren't you satisfied?"

Song Wendao said, "They don't have enough healing elixirs in their storage rings."

Zuo Shuiyun was silent for a moment, then raised her hand and threw a storage bag to Song Wen.

"Here are 10,000 spirit stones. I think my junior brother's injuries should be able to recover as before."

Song Wen took the storage bag and put it away without ceremony.

"Thank you, senior sister, for your generous donation."

...

Two days later, Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun returned to the Dan Peak of the Beast Control Sect.

The two went directly to the mission hall and met Lu Weicai.

Lu Weicai looked quite shocked after listening to Zuo Shuiyun's report.

His eyes were somewhat questioning, looking back and forth between Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun.

It was not that he doubted the authenticity of Cheng Ruida using his tribe to raise blood demons.

Compared to a second-level spirit beast, the lives of some ordinary people and Qi-refining clansmen are nothing.

He just doesn't believe that Cheng Ruida will die with the blood demon.

But he didn't question it in person, just said lightly.

"I will report what you said. The sect will send people to verify and arrange other immortal families to take over the Cheng family's property."

"Since the blood demon is dead, your mission is also completed. Each of you can get 3,000 spirit stones and 100 contributions as rewards."

In the three years since joining the Beastmaster Sect, Song Wen and the other four have learned a total of 20 common second-level elixir refining methods.

After the three-year period, if you still want to practice new elixir recipes, you must use contribution points to exchange them.

The rarity of each elixir recipe is different, and the contribution points required are also different.

For example, the golden elixir that all foundation-building cultivators dream of requires 100,000 contributions to exchange for the elixir recipe and refining method.

The Cheng family mission only has 200 contribution points in total.

After leaving the mission hall, Song Wen went to the Xuanzi Danfang and asked Cai Jinglue for a year's leave.

"Changsheng Gong" has reached the bottleneck of the middle stage of foundation building, and Song Wen needs to retreat in order to break through to the late stage of foundation building.

As soon as he returned to the cave, Song Wen received a message.

The person who sent the message was Wang Ming, the deacon elder of the Donghuafang City Law Enforcement Team, who introduced Song Wen to join the Beast Taming Sect.

About a year ago.

Wang Ming found Song Wen and asked Song Wen to refine a batch of pills for him.

After a little consideration, Song Wen agreed to Wang Ming.

First, taking this opportunity to refine more pills can improve Song Wen's alchemy skills.

Second, he can earn some spirit stones.

On weekdays, Song Wen always pretends to be tight on money. If there are spirit stones delivered to his door, Song Wen will not earn them, which is somewhat unreasonable.

It is forbidden by the sect to refine pills for others in large quantities without going through the sect, but except for Zhou Siyi, it is estimated that every alchemist in the Xuanzi Alchemy Room has taken private work.

Wang Ming sent a message to Song Wen, asking Song Wen to refine a batch of Peiyuan Pills for him.

This is the third time Wang Ming has asked Song Wen to help him refine pills.

At the moment, Song Wen has no time to refine pills for him, and directly rejected Wang Ming.

In the following months, Song Wen concentrated on practicing hard in the cave.

Except for occasionally going to the Spiritual Medicine Peak to buy Huangjingzhi, Song Wen never left the cave again.

Refining pills, taking medicine, refining spiritual power...

Eight months of time passed slowly in hard practice.

During this period, Song Wen took time to leave the Beast Taming Sect for half a month.

He found a hidden place and refined the pseudo-third-level silver corpse.

This day.

Song Wen walked out of the cave with high spirits, and the "Changsheng Gong" had advanced to the late stage of foundation building.

Arriving at the Xuanzi Alchemy Room, Song Wen first went to Cai Jinglie to report, and then came to an alchemy room to practice Liyundan.

As his cultivation gradually improved, Song Wen became more and more aware of the importance of alchemy.

This made him quite interested in practicing alchemy.

For the next period of time, Song Wen went back and forth between the alchemy room and the cave.

There were many alchemists in Danfeng. When Song Wen encountered difficulties in alchemy, he could easily find someone to ask for advice, and his alchemy skills improved quickly.
