In the Helico Mountain Range, there are several second-tier spiritual veins in the mountain ranges.
The place where there is abundant spiritual energy naturally attracts human practitioners, Demi-demons, and various other species.
There are six mountain peaks in particular that were inhabited by the first-tier demon race, which were slaughtered by the Foundation Builder practitioners and established their family base and their vassals.
The Song Family who took over one of these mountains renamed it Misty Peak to Family Foundation. Shortly after, a natural treasure was born, which led to a conflict with the Han family. Due to the conflict, the Song family patriarch perished in battle, which led to retaliation from the Han family patriarch, who seized the peak that belonged to the Song family. He escaped with 20 cultivators in the spiritual refinement realm. They fled from Mist Peak thousands of kilometers away under the leadership of Song Wei and traveled to the Sulu mountain range. The volcanic activity is extremely active. There are regular eruptions that release a large amount of poisonous fire gas, which makes the environment bad. However, every time it happens, various spiritual objects appear, attracting several weak practitioner families other than a Foundation Builder level cultivator and settling around the Sulu mountain range.
Two years after the Song family settled, they cleared the land, built caves, arranged spiritual formations and furnaces for smelting and alchemy. A young man in white clothes was meditating in one of the caves, and a dark red light appeared on his face. After a moment, a faint light flashed from his fingertips, and then he tapped his chest twice, spitting out poisonous black blood.
"It took half a month to finally clear the remaining poison in the body."
Song Jie exhaled lightly, and he felt very relaxed.
"I've been in this world for sixteen years. This time, it can be considered a blessing in disguise. The golden finger has appeared!!"
Song Jie's mind moved slightly, then a status panel appeared.
Name: Song Jie
Longevity: 16/89 years
Constitution: Fire Spirit Body (Does not fear flames, but can be improved).
Cultivation: Qi Refining- Level 3 (9/100).
Martial Art: Heavenly Fire Technique- Small success 12/100).
Martial Skills: Heavenly Fire Finger - (Small success 12/100).
"Fire Spirit Body? I wonder if this is a gift from the panel, or if I already have it?" After seeing the attributes on the panel, Song Jie had some doubts in his heart. Because his special physique is indeed fearless towards flames; but not completely immune. "Now the family has moved and settled near the Zulu Mountain which has several magma rivers, rich treasures of fire nature, and with the toughness of my physique, I won't lack cultivation resources in the future!!". When Song Jie was thinking in his heart full of expectation, he looked at his status and didn't notice anything special. Then he came out of the cave to find Song Jun. Song Jun is Song Jie's uncle, with a cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining. Among the survivors, his strength ranks fourth and he holds the position of third elder in the clan. The three practitioners in front of Song Jun are the clan leader Song Wei, with a Qi Refining level of the ninth; the elder Song Sheng , with a Qi Refining level of the ninth; Zhi with a Qi Refining Level 8; and Second Elder Song Xuan, with the same level as the elder, and these are the only ones in the final stage of Qi Refining. "Uncle, what is the family's current situation? Is there anything I need to do?" Song Jie asked. The family moved from Misty Peak Mountain to Zulu Mountain with various difficulties in the process that were hard to describe. Song Jie's parents and Song Xuan's son died during the migration. Even Song Jie was injured and escaped death due to his parents' sacrifices. Song Jie was exempted from many tasks because of his injuries. "Nephew, have all your injuries recovered?" Song Jun asked. "Don't worry, uncle, my injuries have recovered!" Song Jie said confidently. His uncle, when he heard about it, was happy and relieved and spoke to his nephew. "There are indeed many things to deal with in the clan now, but your injuries have just recovered. Come with me to see the patriarch and give him the good news of your recovery and arrange your tasks." Patriarch Song Wei is an extremely capable person; brave; and with strong charisma and insight, otherwise he would not be able to break out of the enemy's siege and establish himself again. Although he is Song Jie's uncle, he does not dare to avoid the clan leader, and arranges an easy task for his nephew. Arriving at the patriarch's residence to discuss regarding his nephew's request, he finds the clan leader and elder discussing some serious matter. Noticing the arrival of the pair, the patriarch lost his serious expression and smiled. He noticed that Song Jie's face was healthy and with vigor remaining.
Then the patriarch asked the third elder to confirm Song Jie's injuries.
"So Song Jun, have your injuries recovered?"
"Yes, leader."
Song Wei smiled in relief at the good news and looked at the two of them and said.
"I am happy with your recovery and it came at a good time. We are short on manpower and the fertile fields of Zulu Mountain need protection. Your nephew will be leaving in three days. Is there a problem with you, my friend?"
"No problem, patriarch. The matter I would like to discuss is this."
Song Wei was surprised by the coincidence of the matter and the elder Song Sheng explained the importance of the mission to Song Jie. "Where you are going the spiritual energy is relatively thin, with only a few caves, but there are a large number of fertile fields with common people who followed our family when settling here and some who came along with us, and some members of our family who have no aptitude for cultivation have been arranged for them to work there, and their job is to protect them from powerful monsters and wild beasts. Due to their presence, it is necessary to arrange for the family's monks to guard these places."
"Understood elder, but who is currently guarding the place?" (Song Jie)
"Your cousin Song Yang and his cultivation is about to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, so he has requested to return to the family." "Understood Elder"
"Third Elder, I have something to ask you." (Patriarch)
"Yes, leader."
"Two days ago, some tribe members discovered a patch of weed in the underground cave. However, the temperature in the area where the weed grows is very high. Even if I wait, it's hard to go deep. I want you to give it a try."
"No problem, Patriarch."
After Song Jie heard the conversation, he couldn't help but think that this was a great opportunity!!!
