After saying this, Old Ghost Feng nodded at the two of them and walked towards the fire rat cave which was littered with rubble.
The caves built by these rat-like monsters are always relatively short, and Feng Laogui had to work very hard to get in at the entrance of the cave.
After Feng Laogui left, Jia Sixing and Song Qingming looked at each other. Seeing that Song Qingming had no objection, Jia Sixing took out a short knife and started working on the fire rat's corpse on the ground, carefully peeling off its skin.
Song Qingming picked up the Lieyang Sword on the ground. At first glance, he found that there was a very conspicuous crack on the sword body. It had just been hit hard by the iron claws of the Fire Rat, causing this flying sword that had been with him for many years to almost break into two pieces on the spot.
Even if this Lieyang Sword can still be used, it probably won't last much longer. Next time I return to Guiyunfang, I must find a weapon refiner to repair it.
Looking at the severely damaged Lieyang Sword, Song Qingming shook his head with some heartache, and then put it back into the storage bag.
Fortunately, the operation went smoothly. Although the Lieyang Sword was almost damaged, at least a high-level monster was killed. Even if he could only get half of the materials, Song Qingming definitely made a profit overall.
In the battle just now, Song Qingming also saw clearly the magical powers of Feng Laogui. On the surface, his cultivation level may not be too far behind this person, but if he and Feng Laogui really fight, he has little chance of winning against this person now.
Old Ghost Feng has been hanging around in the Floating Cloud Mountains for many years. Although he is a casual cultivator, he must have had some opportunities in his early years. The skills he practiced are much stronger than the common skills like Kunyuan Jue that Song Qingming practiced at the beginning. It is estimated that it is comparable to the Chiyan Jue that has been passed down in the Song family for two hundred years.
The white tiger puppet with thunder attribute on his body alone is quite powerful, equivalent to an ordinary fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator. In addition, he also has a high-grade magic weapon, so his strength is already top-notch among the cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining.
Among all the mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators that Song Qingming knew, few could match this person's fighting skills. In the entire Song family, apart from the elders in the late stage of Qi Refining, only his third brother Song Qingze could compete with him.
Whether it is cultivation and magic power, or magical power of magic weapons, Song Qingming is still some distance away from these two people.
Even if he faced Jia Sixing, who had strange body movements, Song Qingming did not have much chance of winning. Song Qingming estimated that even if he did not come this time, the fire rat would be in great danger with just these two people.
This time he was able to see the various magical powers of the cultivators outside. Looking at the puppet beast of Old Ghost Feng, he was also very tempted. It was a pity that very few people would sell such things, and it was difficult to buy them even in a big market like Guiyunfang.
Feng Laogui also bought this puppet beast at the auction on the Bailong Mountain black market with a lot of spirit stones. Puppet beasts are something that can quickly improve the strength of cultivators. Even if there is such an inheritance in the Xiaoyao Sect, they rarely flow into the market.
As expected, those who could enter Feiyunwei were not ordinary cultivators. After he came in, he gradually realized this.
The reason why he was recruited into the Feiyun Guard by Lu Yunfei was because of the recent unrest around Guiyunfang. The situation of the Xiaoyao Sect cultivators stationed in the market was a bit tight. In addition, the monster riot in the northern border was approaching, and there were demon cultivators appearing near Guiyunfang.
For this reason, the Jindan elder of the Xiaoyao Sect stationed in Guiyunfang specially issued an edict, stepping up efforts to recruit a group of people to enrich the Feiyun Guard and strengthen the exploration efforts near the Fuyun Mountains.
The reason why Song Qingming was so concerned about Feng Laogui's magical powers was naturally so that he could be on guard when dealing with this person in the future.
When he goes out, Song Qingming is always cautious, especially when facing these cunning monks. He is always on guard against them.
At this time and place, Song Qingming is naturally not afraid of these two people attacking him, but it is hard to say if he goes to Bailong Mountain.
If the Feiyun Guards encountered an accident while on a mission, Guiyunfang would certainly send someone to investigate the matter. Even if they were killed by monsters, Guiyunfang would try its best to find their relatives and descendants and provide them with some compensation.
In this regard, Guiyunfang was relatively benevolent, which was why they were able to gather these elite monks to risk their lives for them in these dangerous areas.
If they attack Song Qingming here, and once they attract the investigation of the foundation-building masters of the Xiaoyao Sect, Feng Laogui and the other two will inevitably not be able to escape the questioning of the foundation-building cultivators. Once something happens, a fate worse than death will surely await them.
After all, Feiyunwei is ostensibly a security force under Guiyunfang. Attacking them while they are performing their tasks is, to put it seriously, a challenge to the authority of Guiyunfang. And behind Guiyunfang is the Xiaoyao Sect, which dominates the entire Wei country.
As long as Feng Laogui and the other two did not suddenly go crazy or were controlled by the evil cultivators, they would never choose to do anything bad to Song Qingming here.
Song Qingming dared to come to the dangerous Floating Cloud Mountains for training, of course, not without some support. He also had several life-saving high-grade talismans on him, which were his trump cards. As long as he did not encounter a second-level monster, he had some confidence in escaping.
After putting away the Lieyang Sword, after a while, seeing that Jia Sixing had already collected the fire rat skin that was agreed to be his, Song Qingming also began to collect the remaining monster materials from the fire rat.
It took about a cup of tea for Song Qingming to cut the fire rat into several pieces and put them into the storage bag.
Monsters like the Fire Rat are not big in size, so they are easier to collect. Even a whole one can be put directly into the storage bag. Song Qingming plans to return to the camp and sort out these materials slowly when he has time.
Among the monster materials he got this time, the most useful ones were the iron claws on the limbs of the fire rat. The flesh, blood, essence, beards and teeth of other monsters could also be sold for some spirit stones.
The most precious fur on the fire rat should be able to be refined into a top-grade magic weapon, but unfortunately this material has already been reserved by Jia Sixing long ago.
The iron claws on its limbs are not very hard, so it is impossible to refine them into a top-grade magic weapon. However, it is not a problem to add some materials to refine them into a mid-grade magic weapon.
After returning to the camp, Song Qingming wanted to ask old man Shi Mofeng for help to refine these iron claws into a magic weapon. With the old man's level as a top-grade weapon refiner, as long as he was willing to spend some spirit stones, he should not refuse such a small matter.
The Lieyang Sword in his hand is now somewhat damaged, and he is in urgent need of a handy magical weapon to replace it. As long as Shi Mofeng's price is not excessive, Song Qingming still wants to ask him for help in refining it first.
Song Qingming planned to deal with the essence and blood of other monsters and other items slowly after he returned to Guiyunfang. If he really didn't have time, he could directly sell these materials to the material store in Guiyunfang in exchange for spirit stones.
Not long after Song Qingming collected the monster materials, Feng Laogui, who had entered the monster cave, finally came out. Seeing his happy face, Song Qingming and the others immediately guessed that Feng Laogui must have just got what he wanted and obtained the elixir he had been dreaming of.
"It seems that Brother Feng has obtained the White Jade Flower. Let's leave this place quickly. Otherwise, if we delay for too long, we might alert other monsters and waste more time."
When Jia Sixing saw Feng Laogui coming out, he quickly spoke.
Feng Laogui nodded with a smile on his face and said, "I was able to obtain this Pearl Spirit Medicine this time thanks to the help of you two brothers. After you go back, please help me keep it a secret and don't let Captain Lu know about our cooperation in hunting monsters today."
Song Qingming and Jia Sixing nodded slightly, and the three of them left.
