Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Song Changsheng glanced at Song Youbai and said, "You really guessed it right. I really have a good thing to tell you this time. It depends on whether you can handle it."

"I can catch it. My grandson can definitely catch it. Please give me a treasure, clan leader." Song Youbai's eyes lit up immediately, like two huge light bulbs.

"Whether you can catch it or not is not something you can tell with your mouth. Let me ask you a few questions first."

"Please ask, Patriarch, I will tell you everything I know, without reservation, and I will not hide anything. If I lie to you in the slightest, you will take off my head..."

"Stop, stop, stop."

Song Changsheng interrupted him quickly. This guy was getting more and more outrageous. If he hadn't caught him, he really wanted to throw him into the Law Enforcement Hall for reformation.

"Tell me honestly, how many monsters have you signed contracts with now?"

Although Song Youbai only released two spirit beasts in the competition, Song Changsheng always felt that this was not his limit.

Song Youbai scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "You have discovered all this. In addition to the [Swift Blue Wolf] and [Drilling Rat], my grandson also has a [Purple Skylark]. You have to keep it a secret for me. My grandson still needs to rely on this trump card to save his life."

"Really?" Song Changsheng's eyes widened. He just asked this question, but who knew that he actually got it.

An ordinary beastmaster can only control one spirit beast, and being able to control two is extremely rare. This guy can actually control three. This cannot be simply described as a "genius", this is simply abnormal!
He is just practicing Qi, what will happen if his cultivation level is higher?
"Concluding a contract with three demon beasts at the same time, aren't you afraid of your soul collapsing and becoming insane?"

Song Youbai blinked his eyes and said, "It feels okay. Although it is a bit difficult to control three at the same time, it is still quite easy to control two, and I feel that I can also control one more."

At this point, Song Youbai suddenly became excited and said incessantly: "You don't know how much these guys eat. In recent years, the resources and subsidies that the family has allocated to me have basically all gone into their mouths. My grandson has to tighten his belt every day to make ends meet.

Otherwise, I would have wanted to try to bind four spirit beasts at the same time a long time ago.

Just think about it, when I am fighting with someone, I suddenly release four spirit beasts at once, and the one-on-one fight turns into a group fight. The opponent's expression will definitely be very exciting.

It's a pity that I didn't have the financial resources to put it into practice before. Now, my family will bear the cost of raising spirit beasts for me, and I can finally roll up my sleeves and do a big job. I want to raise four, no, five!"

As he spoke, Song Youbai became a little too proud of himself, with a silly smile on his face. He seemed to be imagining his mighty image in the future with a group of spiritual beasts sweeping across the world. He didn't notice at all the increasingly dark face of Song Changsheng in front of him.

The natural cultivation speed of demon beasts is generally slower than that of human cultivators. Therefore, if you want a spirit beast to become your helper, you need to invest a lot of resources to increase the spirit beast's cultivation speed. The higher the realm, the greater the consumption.

This is also a considerable burden for the Song family.

In fact, as long as the investment can be exchanged for an equivalent return, the family can grit their teeth and accept it. After all, spiritual beasts have a long lifespan and can protect the Song family for a long time.

But the key point is that this guy only raises some spiritual beasts with no future, such as the [Swift Wind Blue Wolf] and [Ground Rat], which can only grow to the second level at most.

[Purple Skylark] is even worse, it’s hard to even reach the second level.

What's the point of raising more of these crooked and deformed melons and jujubes?

What a waste of resources!
But thinking back on it, Song Youbai was just a young cultivator who had never left the mountain, so it was already very good that he could find these kinds of monsters.

After all, all the monsters around Cangmang Peak had been basically wiped out, and he had no other choice.

Thinking of this, Song Youbai became a little more pleasing to Song Changsheng's eyes.

"The potential of your spirit beasts is limited. Every bit of the family's resources is precious and cannot be wasted like this. The Council of Elders wants you to exchange them for spirit beasts with higher potential.

You don’t need to worry about the source of the spiritual beast, the family will solve it for you.

Of course, this is just a suggestion, not an order. Whether or not to change it depends mainly on your own intention.

But there is one thing I need to remind you, if you choose to continue to train the existing spirit beasts, the resources that the family can allocate to you will be greatly reduced, and I am afraid it will not meet your psychological expectations. "

Song Changsheng reminded him softly that he was not threatening but stating the facts. The family's resources did not come from the wind, and every penny needed to be rewarded accordingly.

In fact, according to Song Luzhou and others, this kind of spiritual beast with low bloodline has no value in cultivation at all. If it weren't for Song Youbai's extraordinary talent, he wouldn't be able to get any resources from these spiritual beasts.

Song Changsheng's words were like a basin of cold water, which instantly cooled Song Youbai's heart and made his mind clear.

Indeed, the potential of the monsters in his hands is very low. The family is not a charity and it is impossible for them to always pay for his willfulness.

As an ambitious and idealistic beastmaster, his best choice now is to terminate the contracts with the three beasts at hand, and then sign a contract with a beast with greater potential.

In this way, not only can he gain more resources from the family, but the spirit beast can also accompany him further and provide him with more help in the future.

However, even though he understood it, these spirit beasts in his hands were all raised by him since childhood. To him, they were no different from his family members. He couldn't just give up on them.

After a long silence, Song Youbai slowly took out a bag from his waist. With a flash of light, a ten-foot-long green demon wolf appeared beside him.

Perhaps it felt its owner's inner struggle, it curled up quietly beside Song Youbai's legs, its tail sweeping slightly on the floor, making a rustling sound.

Song Youbai squatted down, stroked the demon wolf's furry head with his hand, and said softly: "Its name is Qingfeng. I picked it up accidentally at the foot of the mountain. It has been with me since I started practicing."

As he spoke, he spread out his hands again, revealing a little white mouse that was sleeping soundly. “Its name is Zhizhi. I bought it from a clan brother with spirit stones. It almost became a meal. Although it is not as helpful to me in the battle as Qingfeng, my life would lose a lot of fun without it.

In addition, there is Ziyun, which I hatched myself. Its potential is the worst, but it is my last resort.

Chief, they are not just spirit animals to my grandson, they are also family members. I will never give up any of them."

Song Youbai was serious for once. Just as Song Changsheng said, these spiritual beasts had low potential and were not worth training, but he did not sign the contract because of their potential.

In essence, they are just poor creatures who huddle together for warmth on the road to immortality.

Song Changsheng's eyes flashed with admiration, and he nodded slightly and said, "I understand your choice. Everyone has their own aspirations. Since you don't want to, I won't force you.

I have a task for you. If you complete it well, the family will give you a generous reward. "When Song Youbai heard the word "reward", his eyes widened and he said quickly, "Grandson is willing to share the worries of the clan leader!"

"If you can handle this, it will really help me relieve my worries. But before that, I still need to see if you can accept this task. Close your eyes and relax your mind."

Song Qingyun behind the screen immediately cast a spell to create a dream for him. After confirming that everything was normal, Song Changsheng slowly spoke:

"I accidentally captured a Thunder Spirit a few years ago. Its temperament is unpredictable and unruly, which gave me a headache. If you can tame it, the family will reward you handsomely."

"What is [Thunder Spirit]? Why has my grandson never heard of it? Is it a monster?" Song Youbai was already awake at this time, and asked in confusion when he heard Song Changsheng's words.

"The Thunder Spirit is a spiritual creature of heaven and earth, not a demon beast, but it has a physical form and can also conclude contracts. It plays an extremely important role in the family." Song Changsheng said seriously.

"A spiritual creature of heaven and earth? Is it a physical creature, like a demon beast? I've read in ancient books that all spiritual creatures of heaven and earth with a physical body are the darlings of heaven and earth. If we sell this, it will definitely be snapped up. Chief, we're rich!"

Looking at Song Youbai spitting all over the place in front of him, Song Changsheng suddenly felt a little regretful. Could he really entrust him with such an important task as taming the Thunder Spirit?

But...it seems that there is no one else except his family.

"Oh, never mind. Now that things have come to this, I can only let him try. We should try our best." Song Changsheng could only comfort himself in his heart.

"Chief, where is the Thunder Spirit? When can you take my grandson to see it? We have to tame the monster as soon as possible. The sooner the better..."

Seeing that he was still chattering, Song Changsheng couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. He rolled up his sleeves, and a gentle force immediately wrapped up Song Youbai, and then he just moved his fingers, and Song Youbai was thrown out.

Song Changsheng said in a leisurely voice: "Tomorrow at 9:00 pm, go to Ruyun Palace to report to the Grand Elder. He will tell you everything you want to know."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the secret room slammed shut.

"I really want to sew his mouth shut." Song Changsheng pinched his eyebrows, feeling a little tired.

Song Qingyun walked out from behind the screen and said with a smile: "Youbai's mouth is indeed a bit broken, but this is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Well, he is also a man who knows what is important. He seems to be unable to keep secrets, but he knows clearly what to say and what not to say."

"Father, we have already met everyone. Do you have any plans for the future?"

Song Changsheng looked him up and down and said with a smile, "Why, are you busy?"

"It's not a big deal. Sister Qingli asked me to meet her. If nothing happens later, I'll go over and take a look. If there's anything, I can reply in time." Song Qingyun said calmly.

"Song Qingli?" Song Changsheng couldn't help but think of a pale little face. Recalling her experience, he couldn't help but sighed, "What a miserable child."

"Since we have an appointment, then go meet me. I plan to go to the jungle after nightfall, so I won't need you."

"Deep jungle, are you going to the cave that Youping mentioned?" Song Qingyun instantly understood Song Changsheng's plan.

“Yes, although the vast jungle is a barren land, it is also the family’s territory after all. Once the [Mist Hidden Bug] spreads, the consequences will be unpredictable.

It would have been fine if I didn't know it before, but now that I know it, I can't rest easy if I don't go and see it myself."

In fact, this is just one of the reasons. There is another reason that is not convenient to talk about now.

Ever since breaking through the Purple Mansion Stage, the circles I’ve come into contact with have changed, and the information I can obtain is also on a different level than before.

When communicating with other Purple Mansion cultivators, he also mentioned Xianxian Valley, but everyone looked very taboo. Feng Zhongyi even reminded him that it was an ominous place and cultivators of Purple Mansion or above must not approach it.

But when Song Changsheng asked the reason, Feng Zhongyi was at a loss to explain it. He just said that it had been a forbidden place since ancient times.

Song Changsheng later specifically asked Zhan Tianxia about it, but Zhan Tianxia seemed reluctant to say more and only warned him not to set foot in Xianxian Valley again.

It was at that time that Song Changsheng realized that the Senior Zui Weng whom they "accidentally met" in Xianxian Valley was actually arranged in advance by Luoxia City.

Although he did not get the answer he wanted, Song Changsheng still remembered Zhan Tianxia's words in his heart. From then on, he never went close to Xianxian Valley again and labeled that place as dangerous in his mind.

But now, the vast jungle has actually seen the [Mist Hidden Insect] which can create a thick fog just like the one in the Xian Valley, which forces him to be more cautious.

Lingzhou is the Song family's foundation, and he does not want any potential threats to exist.

"Are you planning to go alone?" Song Qingyun asked with a worried look on his face.

Song Changsheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "If that place is really a den of dragons and tigers, what difference does it make if there is one more person or one less person? Don't worry about your father. You should go to the appointment and don't keep people waiting."

After saying that, he turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the window, heading towards the vast jungle.

With the help of the magic weapon, his speed increased to the extreme. When the sky was just getting light, a large tall and dense jungle appeared in front of Song Changsheng.

"This is the vast jungle. The vegetation grows so densely, why is the spiritual energy so thin?" Song Changsheng frowned slightly. This was obviously a little abnormal.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is like air, constantly circulating. In most cases, the concentration of spiritual energy in the wild is not much different.

Even if there is a difference, it won't be particularly obvious.

But when Song Changsheng stepped into the vast jungle, the concentration of spiritual energy dropped drastically, which was very abrupt. No wonder this jungle could not give birth to a third-level monster. The spiritual energy was too thin.

Thinking of the cave that Song Youping entered, Song Changsheng couldn't help but feel a little uneasiness in his heart. Is there any connection between the two?
