Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"That bloody evil aura appeared right here. This place should have just experienced a... no, two battles at the Purple Mansion level. Who on earth could have such a strong bloody evil aura? I can clearly sense it even from Sifang City.

This place is remote, could it be that some evildoer has come to Zhongzhou again?" The middle-aged cultivator frowned slightly.

A Purple Mansion Stage demon cultivator can be destroyed with a single wave of the hand by the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce. If he dares to come to Sifang City and cause trouble, this day next year will be the anniversary of his death.

But if it is a demon in the Jindan stage, it would be a bit tricky, because its astonishing destructive power is enough to give him a headache.

The middle-aged monk searched the surroundings carefully and soon found two auras leaving in opposite directions. Following this clue, the middle-aged monk continued to pursue...

The bright moon rises in the east, everything is silent, and endless darkness covers the earth.

After Song Changsheng left the airspace where the fight took place, he immediately found a secluded place to recover his consumed magic power and injuries.

Two consecutive battles almost drained all the magic power in his dantian, and his injuries were both internal and external.

He remained by the stream regulating his breathing until late at night, and only then did he manage to recover some of his magical powers. During this period, the external injuries on his body also healed with the help of his own powerful recovery ability.

Only the internal injuries caused by breaking Zhang Chengzhou's [Golden Light Immobilization Technique] were more troublesome. After several hours, there was no improvement at all. He had to return to the city and look for elixirs that could heal his internal organs.

Fortunately, the injury is not particularly serious and does not affect his movements.

He tore off his tattered blue shirt, revealing his slender upper body, and then drew some water from the stream in front of him to wash the blood stains on his body.

After doing all this, he took out a new green shirt and put it on, took out two storage bags and Wu Dian's tiger-head wooden staff.

"I don't know if the seedling of the [Yin Yang Purple Tree] is still on his body." Song Changsheng murmured softly.

The price he paid for this battle was not small. Just that one third-grade top-grade talisman was worth one or two hundred thousand spirit stones. He had to make up for it from the spoils of war.

While thinking this in his mind, his hand had already opened the storage bag belonging to Feng Jinwu. To his surprise, as the head of a pavilion, Feng Jinwu's wealth was not as rich as he imagined, but it was not small either, with three magic weapons alone.

One of them is Feng Wujin’s sword, named [Ziyun], a top-grade magic weapon. After Feng Wujin’s death, the weapon spirit tried to escape, but was directly suppressed by him.

Its quality can be regarded as top-notch among the top-grade magic weapons. It is much stronger than the [Ding Jiangshan] left by Song Taiyi, the ancestor of the Song family. Its value is inestimable.

Song Changsheng put it in his pocket with great joy. Actually, he didn't know that this sword had a special meaning for Ziyun Pavilion. Together with Feng Wujin, there were five pavilion masters in Ziyun Pavilion who used this sword as their sword. It was no exaggeration to say that it was the sect's token.

The second item is the big net woven with [Golden Silk], which is also a top-grade magic weapon, named [Golden Light Covering the Ground Net]. Its value is comparable to that of [Purple Rhythm]. Unfortunately, it was burned with several big holes by [Purple Void Divine Fire], and its spiritual light was dimmed, and its power was greatly reduced.

Even if he could find the materials to refine it again later, it could only be restored to the level of a mid-grade magic weapon at best, which Song Changsheng felt was a pity.

The third item was one that Feng Wujin had never used before. It was a shield made from the entire back shell of a third-level black turtle. It was a mid-grade magic weapon called [Black Turtle Armor Shield]. He himself might not have expected that Song Changsheng's subsequent attack would be so fierce, and would focus on the soul, leaving him no chance to react at all.

In addition, there were several bottles of third-level elixirs and several pieces of third-level spiritual materials. Song Changsheng took a look and found that they were all ordinary stuff, which could only be said to be better than nothing. There was not a single piece of mental method or supernatural power.

He didn't have many spirit stones left on him. A rough estimate showed that he had about 30,000 of them. He might have spent them all at the trade fair. The only thing that surprised him was that there was a special spirit stone in the pile that was the size of a fist and was crystal clear like colored glaze.

"It's actually a top-grade spirit stone." Song Changsheng took the spirit stone in his hand and looked at it over and over again, his face full of joy.

According to the common exchange rate in the cultivation world, one medium-grade spirit stone is roughly equivalent to more than one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and one high-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for approximately ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.

The top-grade spirit stone in his hand is enough to exchange for more than ten high-grade spirit stones, which is more than 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.

This exchange rate is not constant and fluctuates greatly, but it will only go higher and not lower.

Song Changsheng has been in this world for nearly sixty years, and this is the second top-grade spirit stone he has seen.

The first piece is in the Song family's treasury. It is said to have been handed down from the time when ancestor Yungui was in power, and has been worshipped as a treasure by successive clan leaders. Even when the Song family was so poor that they could not afford to pay the salaries of their clan members, they never thought of touching that top-grade spirit stone.

But later it was used on the [Black Star Ship] which was successfully upgraded to a sky ship as the energy source for its control core.

Top-grade spirit stones are too precious.

The first is that the quantity is precious. It can only be produced in large and above spirit stone veins. The Song family owns small or micro spirit stone veins, and cannot mine top-grade spirit stones at all. Even high-grade spirit stones are rare.

The second is that its function is precious. The spiritual energy contained in the top-grade spirit stone is more than 100,000 times that of the lower-grade spirit stone, and it can continuously absorb spiritual energy to replenish its own consumption. Although the recovery speed is very slow, it is indeed renewable.

Therefore, it is very suitable to be used as a core energy source. It can not only be used in the control core of the spaceship, but also in puppets, formations, large city defense equipment and other objects.

It is an important war reserve material for all major forces and is basically not circulated on the market.

In comparison, the speed of cultivation brought by using top-grade spirit stones is not worth mentioning.

"Master Lu has always wanted to build a second spaceship, and now it can finally be put on the agenda." Song Changsheng smiled.

Ever since Lu Tianchou was "tricked" by him into joining the Song family, he has almost devoted himself to the Skyship. He is rarely seen here at ordinary times. He only became a little free after the upgrade of the [Black Star Ship].

But in the past few years he had a new idea and planned to build the second spaceship in his life. Song Changsheng naturally supported him strongly. Now the keel has been built, but the energy problem of the control core has always bothered him.

The reason why his [Black Star Ship] was only a quasi-sky ship was also related to the fact that Lu Tianchou did not have top-grade spirit stones.

Now he has got another piece from Feng Wujin, which is an unexpected surprise. It allows Lu Tianchou to work with all his heart.

When the second skyship is built, the Song family will have added another purple mansion combat force. When the time comes, the two skyships will be lined up in a row. Just thinking about it is exciting. Taking out a jade box to store the top-grade spiritual stones, Song Changsheng lightly brought out a pot of purple saplings, which was the [Yin Yang Purple Tree] that Feng Xiao had snatched away at the trade fair.

This was not the first time he had seen the seedling of the Yin-Yang Purple Tree. He had seen it once in the Golden Elixir ruins in the Blood Ruins Realm. Unfortunately, it was too old and turned into ashes as soon as it was opened.

Song Changsheng held it carefully, fearing that it would be damaged. This sapling was of great significance to the Song family.

Although the Song family is now a Purple Mansion force, it is only in name only. According to the cultivation world's standards for dividing forces, only a force that continuously and stably produces Purple Mansion cultivators can be considered a true Purple Mansion force.

It is just like a qualified foundation-building force needs to be able to produce [Foundation-Building Pills] in a continuous and stable manner.

The Purple Mansion forces also need to be able to continuously and stably produce treasures that can assist cultivators in breaking through the Purple Mansion, such as the [Yin Yang Purple Tree Heart].

Looking at the Purple Mansion forces in the entire Da Qi cultivation world, only the Tianjian Sect, Baicaotang, and Fumo Palace can do this.

Each of their generations has at least one Purple Mansion cultivator in charge, so even if an accident occurs, they can be quickly replaced, unlike the Song family in the past, where there was a vacuum period of more than a hundred years after Song Yungui's death.

Ultimately, it is a question of talent and resource reserves.

The Song family is not short of talents. Although Song Changsheng is the only one in the "Chang" generation who can take the lead at present, the "Qing" and "You" generations are also full of talents.

What is lacking now is the foundation.

It can be seen how important this [Yin Yang Purple Tree] is to the Song family.

Although the training cycle is extremely long and whether it will be successful in the future is still an unknown, it is still a hope. What if it succeeds?
All things are difficult at the beginning, but as long as you take the first step, you will always get what you want.

He carefully put away the pot of [Yin Yang Purple Tree], and then destroyed all the nameplates and waist badges that represented Feng Wujing's identity. Then he turned his attention to Wu Dian's storage bag.

He picked up the tiger-head wooden staff and took a look at it, and found that it was an extremely rare third-level [Gold Inlaid Wood], which was full of traces of time and the surface was covered with obscure witch language.

But what surprised Song Changsheng was that this wooden stick did not show any signs of having been sacrificed or refined. It was as if someone had casually cut a branch to use as a walking stick, without any processing.

This can't be considered a magic weapon at all, it's just a piece of spiritual wood.

"I've heard for a long time that the ancient witch clan is not good at practicing the various arts. Today I see that it is true. That purple goblin was really an outlier." Song Changsheng sighed and put away the wooden staff. After all, it was a third-level spiritual wood. When he had time, he could use it to refine a third-level magic weapon.

Song Changsheng no longer expects to get anything good from Wu Dian.

"At least there are still the two hundred thousand spirit stones from selling the snake-people women." He comforted himself.

But when he opened Wu Dian's storage bag, he was stunned. There was no trace of spiritual stones in it, only piles of spiritual medicines and bottles and jars.

"[Blood Dragon Grass], [Purple Leaf Ginseng], [Bone Strengthening Flower], [Temperament Strengthening Grass]..."

Song Changsheng knew all kinds of spiritual medicines like the back of his hand. After looking around, he found that they were all spiritual medicines used to strengthen the body. He also checked the bottles and jars and found that they contained the essence and blood of various monsters.

The value of this pile is only about 200,000 spirit stones, which means that there is no spirit stone witch code left from the sale of the snake woman. All of them have been exchanged for these body-building resources, and they are all basic resources.

"Could it be that the ancient witch clan is short of resources for cultivation?" Song Changsheng rubbed his chin, thinking deeply.

These spiritual medicines are only of the first or second level, and are all ordinary spiritual medicines that can be cultivated artificially. It is really not worth spending spiritual stones on them. This may represent that the ancient witch clan is very short of basic resources.

This is not a groundless guess. Wu Dian, as the priest of the Wu clan, is one of the people with the highest status in the clan. He usually does not show up easily. The purchase of basic supplies can be done by anyone. Is it necessary for him to show up in person?
Moreover, the spirit stones used to purchase resources were obtained by selling snake-people women, and these snake-people were captured by them themselves.

If these supplies were removed, there would be nothing left in his storage bag, which was totally inconsistent with his status and cultivation. He was three times poorer than a casual cultivator, and perhaps even worse than some foundation-building cultivators.

Fortunately, the ancient witch clan relies on body building and the witch blood in their bodies for cultivation. If they relied entirely on resource accumulation for cultivation like humans, they would have perished long ago.

"I can pay attention to those remote areas in the Gusu cultivation world." Song Changsheng thought secretly in his heart.

The Ancient Witch Clan was the most stubborn. He had killed a priest, and they were already at a life-and-death battle. He felt that he needed to first figure out the location and overall strength of his enemies.

However, the ancient witch clan priests are ranked according to their strength. Wu Dian is only ranked fifth. After activating the witch clan bloodline in his body, he can burst out with power equivalent to the great perfection of the Purple Mansion. No matter how weak the four ahead of him are, they are probably not that weak. There may even be a Witch King who is comparable to a Golden Core True Person.

Having provoked such a powerful enemy, he couldn't help but feel a headache. Fortunately, he did not reveal his identity from beginning to end, which was a blessing in disguise.

After sorting out and categorizing all the supplies, several pottery jars and animal skins placed in the corner caught Song Changsheng's attention.

He picked up a pottery jar and opened it. It was filled with a thick blue liquid. Song Changsheng's hands trembled and he exclaimed, "Voodoo?"

The most feared thing of the ancient witch clan is this voodoo. Once infected, even the Purple Mansion cultivators will hardly be spared, and it has even more terrifying lethality to low-level cultivators.

There are five large jars here. It is no exaggeration to say that if all of them were dropped into Sifang City, at least one-third of the low-level monks would be killed. It can be seen how terrifying they are.

Song Changsheng quickly used restrictions to seal the five jars and transferred them to other storage bags for separate storage. If used properly, this thing can be a powerful weapon, but if used improperly, it would be a disastrous move for the family.

After letting out a long breath, he picked up the pieces of animal skins again.

No one knew what kind of monster this skin came from, but it was very tough and looked quite old. It was covered with dense witch language, which made Song Changsheng look confused.

However, according to his understanding, in the ancient witch clan, anything that can be recorded is definitely not simple!
