Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

As soon as Bai Zhengchun finished speaking, some people around him could no longer hold back and took action before them. Song Changsheng took a look and found that he didn't recognize them. They should be independent cultivators who happened to be active near Dingyuan City.

After he made a move, the others could no longer hold back and they all turned into streams of light and rushed towards the thundercloud.

Although they didn't know what the fleeting shadow was, it didn't stop them from fighting for it. As long as it was a treasure, they were not afraid of losing it.

"Let's go."

Bai Zhengchun greeted him and then rushed out as a bright blade light.

Seeing this, Song Changsheng hurried to catch up. Although he was a beat slower than the others, he easily caught up with everyone thanks to the speed bonus brought by [Light Smoke Su].

However, he did not rush to the front rashly. Opportunities are often accompanied by dangers. This was the first time he had seen a thunderstorm of this scale. Who knew what dangers were hidden in it. It was better to be safe.

Getting closer and closer to the thundercloud, Song Changsheng could already clearly feel the terrifying power contained in it.

At this moment, the casual cultivator who took action first had already entered the cloud. As soon as he entered, several bolts of lightning as thick as arms struck him, but he easily resisted them with his magic weapon. Seeing that the power of the thunder was not strong, the man was overjoyed and no longer cautious as before, and quickly rushed to the center of the cloud.

With the first person taking the plunge, the others stopped hanging around and immediately took out their protective magic weapons and rushed in.

"Be careful." After giving this warning, Bai Zhengchun also rushed into the cloud.

Song Changsheng did not follow him, but looked for a different direction. He could of course choose to be with Bai Zhengchun. The safety factor is definitely higher than being alone, but it would be difficult to divide the treasure.

After thinking about it, it would be better for us to act separately.

The thundercloud was very large, and a dozen people scattered in it were as inconspicuous as a handful of sand scattered in the sea. Song Changsheng soon lost track of the others. All he could see were dark clouds flashing with lightning, and the sound of thunder rumbling in his ears.

"It's not a good idea to run around like a headless fly like this. Let's try the pupil technique."

"Open the [Eye of Delusion Breaking]!"

A strange pattern appeared in his eyes, and the sky and the earth suddenly turned black and white. The thunderclouds disappeared, and the lightning also disappeared. Only a few light balls of different colors remained in his field of vision.

As expected, these were the Purple Mansion cultivators who entered with him. The reason why there were only a few of them was probably because some of them were beyond the range of the [Eye of Breaking Delusion].

With the improvement of his cultivation, the effective range of the [Eye that Breaks Delusion] also increased to about three thousand miles. With Song Changsheng himself as the center, no spiritual creature within a radius of three thousand miles could escape his eyes.

I looked around and found nothing unusual, which meant that the thing was not within this range.

Song Changsheng was not discouraged and began to wander around.

Inadvertently, a long strip of light flashed past the corner of his eye.

Song Changsheng, who was originally a little bored, immediately became alert. After so many years, he had almost developed the [Eye of Truth] and knew that the light balls he saw were the manifestation of the gathering of spiritual energy.

The spiritual power of cultivators is basically gathered in Dantian, so if there is only a round ball of light, it is basically a cultivator who is practicing Qi or building the foundation. The specific identity can be distinguished by the size of the light ball.

If it presents an "inverted gourd" shape that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, then it is a Purple Mansion or Golden Core cultivator, because cultivators at these two realms have already opened up the middle dantian.

What he saw just now was neither round nor inverted gourd-shaped, but a long snake-like shape, so what he saw was definitely not a human cultivator. Thinking of the fleeting black shadow he saw outside before, Song Changsheng suddenly became excited and hurried to determine the whereabouts of that thing.

"Got you!"

After a while, Song Changsheng found the whereabouts of the thing, but the next moment he frowned tightly because he saw that the thing was approaching another ball of light at a very fast speed.

Song Changsheng was very anxious. Now that he had found this thing, he naturally could not sit idly by and watch it being snatched away by others. He immediately stopped hiding his abilities and used all his strength to activate [Light Smoke], which increased his speed dramatically.

It was getting closer and closer, and soon he could see the whole appearance of the thing. It looked like a snake, about ten feet long, as thick as an arm, and pitch black with white spots. It wandered freely in the thundercloud, not noticing the danger at all.

Occasionally, a few bolts of lightning would fall on its body and be directly absorbed by its skin, without causing any effect on it.

"This is..." Song Changsheng frowned slightly. It looked like a snake demon of the thunder attribute, but he did not sense any demonic aura, and he had never heard of a snake demon living in a thundercloud.

"Master, this is the Thunder Spirit."

He had no idea yet, but Xiaojiu in his mind gave him the answer directly.

"【Thunder Spirit】?" Song Changsheng frowned slightly, somewhat confused. After all, he had read countless books, whether they were in the family's scripture library or recorded in the "Magic Book of Creation", he had read quite a few of them, but it seemed that he had never seen such a thing as "【Thunder Spirit】".

"The Thunder Spirit is a strange creature born in the Thunder Pond. It has existed since the beginning of the world. It feeds on thunder and lightning. Wherever it goes, there will be powerful thunderclouds, like a heavenly calamity."

"what's the effect?"

Compared to these things, Song Changsheng wanted to know what benefits catching it could bring to him. After all, he was a pragmatic person. If it had no value, he would be too lazy to waste the effort.

“For cultivators with thunder spirit roots and cultivators who have comprehended the law of thunder and lightning, [Thunder Spirit] is a rare treasure. Eating it can not only greatly improve cultivation, but also enhance affinity with the law of thunder and lightning.

In ancient times, human monks would often raise Thunder Spirits after capturing them, using their ability to gather thunderclouds to assist the monks in body building.

In addition, [Thunder Spirits] have a long lifespan and can reproduce on their own."

After listening to Xiaojiu's narration, Song Changsheng's eyes lit up with excitement. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that it could enhance the affinity with the law of thunder made this [Thunder Spirit] very valuable.

Although the Song family currently does not have any cultivators with thunder spiritual roots, the Da Qi cultivation world is so large and there are so many cultivators, so there are still quite a few cultivators with thunder spiritual roots, such as Zhan Tianxia, ​​who has thunder spiritual roots.

If he is willing to take action, Zhan Tianxia will never let him suffer any loss.

Thinking of this, Song Changsheng hurriedly chased after him.

The originally leisurely [Thunder Spirit] noticed Song Changsheng approaching and immediately began to flee at high speed like a frightened rabbit.

Unfortunately, although it was fast, it was still far behind Song Changsheng and was soon caught up.

"[Demon Binding Rope], go!"

Song Changsheng saw a flash of green light in his sleeves, and the emerald green [Demon Binding Rope] turned into a stream of light and quickly entangled with the [Thunder Spirit].

"呲la"

Lei Ling opened his mouth full of sharp teeth, and a thick bolt of lightning blasted towards Song Changsheng's chest.

Facing its sudden attack, Song Changsheng stood still, just stretched out his hand to block the incoming thunder. In an instant, lightning flashed everywhere, but he only felt his palms a little numb, and then nothing happened. After these years of training, his physique has already reached an astonishing level. He has even survived the heavenly thunder tribulation, so this level is just a tickle for him.

After realizing the huge gap between himself and Song Changsheng, Lei Ling didn't dare to continue to pester him. He slid away from the [Demon Binding Rope] and prepared to escape.

How could Song Changsheng let it do as it wished? He quickly recited a few mantras, and the [Demon Binding Rope] suddenly became brighter and its speed increased dramatically, quickly binding the fleeing [Thunder Spirit].

"It's only the strength of a second-level monster." Song Changsheng muttered to himself, then waved his hand to take back his prey.

Unexpectedly, a huge bell suddenly fell from the sky and flew towards the constantly twisting lightning snake in the air, trying to intercept it halfway.

"How brave!"

Song Changsheng raised his eyebrows, and cast out the [Five Elements Creation Seal] at the fastest speed, slamming it into the bronze bell with tremendous magic power.

Because of the anger in his heart, he used all his strength in this attack. With a loud "clang" sound, the bell flew backwards and even the spiritual light on its surface dimmed a little.

Song Changsheng took the opportunity to take back the [Demon Binding Rope] along with the struggling [Thunder Spirit].

An angry roar was heard, and a sinister old man in a gray robe appeared not far in front of Song Changsheng. He glared at Song Changsheng while stroking a bronze bell that had shrunk many times with his withered hands.

"You bastard who attacked me from behind, tell me your name!" Song Changsheng shouted.

Even a clay man would have some temper, not to mention that this person actually wanted to intercept the opportunity that he was about to get halfway. This was intolerable.

The old man snorted coldly when he heard this and said, "I will never change my name, I am Jiulisanren!"

"What's this all about? I've never heard of it. Leave immediately, or I'll leave you with one hand!"

Song Changsheng noticed that someone was approaching them, so he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​taking action.

Money can tempt people. The person in front of him saw him capture the Thunder Spirit with his own eyes. If this were to be spread out and known to others, he would surely become the target of public criticism, which Song Changsheng did not want to see.

Anyway, the other party didn't succeed, so just let him go.

Jiuliren's eyes flickered. Judging from the fight just now, the opponent was stronger than him in terms of both magic weapons and strength. If they really fought, he would most likely not be the opponent's match.

But the snake demon he had just captured looked very extraordinary, and he was a little reluctant to just leave like that.

Just when he was struggling in his heart, he sensed a familiar breath approaching, and he was immediately delighted and shouted loudly: "Is it Brother Batu? I found the treasure, help me quickly!"

Soon, a rough laugh came from deep in the clouds: "Hahaha, don't worry, Fellow Daoist Jiuli, I'm here to help you!"

Hearing this, Song Changsheng frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the other party was actually an acquaintance. The situation was a little bad.

"Haha, my comrades are here. Boy, hand over the snake demon, or this is where you will die today!"

Jiu Li Ren looked like a villain who had achieved success, and he laughed very arrogantly.

Song Changsheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with this kind of person. He flashed and left a series of afterimages. He punched with a sonic boom directly at the head of Jiuliren.

Jiuliren was so frightened that his soul left his body. He had never expected Song Changsheng to be so fast, so he quickly crossed his hands to block in front of him.

"click"

A crisp sound of bones breaking was heard, and the radius and ulna of Jiu Sanren's left arm, which was placed on the outside, were broken instantly, and the whole person flew backwards.

A minor injury like a broken bone was nothing for a Purple Mansion cultivator, but Song Changsheng's punch woke him up directly. He was no longer as arrogant as before and hurried towards Batu.

Now that the fight has already begun, there is no reason to let the tiger go back to the mountains. Song Changsheng quickly caught up with him and slammed down with his [Mountain-Climbing Seal].

"Baby, save me!"

Jiuliren knew that his speed could not match Song Changsheng, so he was prepared. The bronze bell in his hand quickly enlarged and blocked his head.

"Boom-"

A dull bell rang, and Jiuliren, who was closest to it, felt a little dizzy, but he managed to block the attack. However, when he saw the clear mark on the bronze bell, he felt heartbroken.

He was born as a casual cultivator and was not well-off. This was his only magic weapon. Although it was of low quality, he usually took great care of it. But today it was damaged repeatedly.

"Swish"

Song Changsheng would not give him time to react. He flashed and appeared in front of Jiuliren again. A red and black halberd appeared in his hand and he chopped it down on his head with astonishing power.

Having witnessed his power, Jiu Sanren naturally did not dare to use the bronze bell in his hand to block the attack. With a painful look on his face, he took out a talisman and activated it. Soon, a diamond-shaped light shield blocked him.

[Mountain-Shaking Halberd] came down with a tremendous force, instantly exceeding the light shield's endurance limit and causing it to explode.

However, this also bought the Nine Scattered People a lot of time, and they rushed back a long way.

Song Changsheng's eyes were like torches, and his voice was like thunder: "I wanted to let you go, but you are stubborn and stubborn. Today I will take your head!"

Jiuliren felt his scalp tingling. He also had the cultivation base of the middle stage of Purple Mansion, but he had no power to fight back at the hands of this man. Both his magic power and strength were not on the same level. It was simply outrageous.

At this moment, he felt a lot of regret in his heart. If he hadn't been greedy for a moment, he wouldn't have gotten involved with such a monster.

Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now. He could only meet up with Batu as quickly as possible and join forces to resist.

But how could Song Changsheng not know what he was planning?

He used the [Treading on Snow Without Leaving a Trace] to quickly close the distance between the two sides, and then he swung the [Mountain-Shaking Halberd] in his hand and swept towards the Nine Dispersed People.

"clang"

Jiuli was at his wit's end and had to continue using the bronze bell to resist. Looking at the crack on it, he felt his heart bleeding and his inner regret reached its peak.

Seeing Song Changsheng come back again, Jiuli, who was ready to bleed profusely with tears in his eyes, suddenly looked happy and shouted loudly: "Fellow Daoist Batu, help me!"
