Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

It took two days and one night to get from Luoxia City to Lingzhou, and Xia Wuqie's face became ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Master Xia, we are just ahead."

After returning to Lingzhou, Song Changsheng's tense nerves finally relaxed. He pointed to the huge Wangyue Market on the banks of Luoshui River and said.

Hearing this, Xia Wuqie's expression eased a little, but his eyes looking at the market town revealed a sense of disgust, which Song Changsheng could only pretend not to see.

After all, the other party didn't even look down on Luoxia City, and he didn't say anything unpleasant directly out of consideration for Peng Siying.

Song Changsheng was originally thinking about whether to invite him to Cangmang Peak to have a good rest first, but now it seems that it is not necessary.

Be it Cangmang Peak or Wangyue Market, it is estimated that neither of them will be in the eyes of others. Instead of bringing humiliation upon oneself, it is better to be rude and directly arrange them to the garrison of the market.

Led by Song Changsheng, the group arrived at the garrison.

The people currently in charge of guarding the market town are Song Qingqian and Song Qinghong. As they had informed them in advance, the two of them had been waiting outside with all the people from the garrison early on. When they saw them arrive, they hurried over to greet them.

"Clan leader."

Song Changsheng nodded slightly at them and introduced: "The person next to me is Master Xia Wuqie from the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce. You must remember not to neglect him."

"We are here to see Master Xia!"

Although everyone didn't know what kind of master this was, they still gave Xia Wuqie enough respect and saluted him in unison.

Xia Wuqie nodded proudly, then looked at Song Changsheng and said, "I am a little tired, let's discuss the formation tomorrow."

Song Changsheng naturally had no objection. Xia Wuqi was the boss now, and whatever he said was the truth. Let alone waiting for a day, he would not have any objection even if he waited for ten days or half a month.

Giving Song Qinghong a look, the little fat man came up to him tactfully and said respectfully, "Master Xia, your room has been arranged. Please follow me."

Xia Wuqie got up and walked away, without even glancing at Song Qinggan and the others from beginning to end, acting like a real master.

After the two walked away, Song Qingqian waved his hand to dismiss everyone, and then complained to Song Changsheng in a low voice: "This master is so arrogant."

Song Changsheng glanced at him and chuckled, "Stop complaining. He is a real talent. This time it was just a coincidence. If it were any other time, he wouldn't even want to come if you wanted to invite him."

"That's just what I said." Song Qingqian said with a dry laugh.

"Is everything going well with the family while I've been away?"

"Everything is normal in the family, except that some time ago, Liu Hongye, the leader of Liuyun Sect, failed to break through to the Purple Mansion and died. His cousin Liu Hongyan succeeded him as the leader."

Hearing this, Song Changsheng was slightly stunned, but he was not surprised at all by the result.

Liu Hongye is also a veteran cultivator who has reached the great perfection of foundation building. If he remembers correctly, he should be over 200 years old this year. Seeing that his life is coming to an end, it is normal for him to choose to give it a try.

However, his own talent was not outstanding. Although he had the third-level mental method, he did not have any spiritual objects to assist in the breakthrough. The probability of failure in forced breakthrough was too high.

To take a step back, even if all the conditions for a breakthrough were met, it would be almost impossible for him to break through to the Purple Mansion.

Lingzhou.

There is, and there can only be one overlord, and Song Changsheng will never allow a second voice to appear.

Subordinate forces can develop, and when necessary, the Song family can even support your development, but the premise of all this is that the Song family’s rule cannot be shaken.

Once such signs appear, only destruction will await him!

It is no exaggeration to say that no matter in Lingzhou or Yangzhou, all cultivators who have reached the great perfection of foundation building are under the surveillance of Fengyu Palace's spies. As long as they are discovered to have ambitions to break through the Purple Mansion, Fengyu Palace will choose to intervene.

Song Changsheng didn’t know whether Liu Hongye’s failure had anything to do with Fengyu Palace. He just wanted to say that failure was actually a good thing.

Otherwise, the day he succeeds will be the end of the entire Liuyun Sect.

With the current strength of the Song family, it would be too easy to destroy the Liuyun Sect. Even if Liu Hongye breaks through the Purple Mansion, there is no possibility of any resistance.

This is a huge gap caused by the background.

A sect that cannot fully unleash the power of a third-order lower-grade protective formation, even if it is lucky enough to produce a Purple Mansion cultivator, the result will be that it is top-heavy and its destruction is only a matter of time.

If the Song family had not accumulated hundreds of years of experience, even if Song Xianming broke through the Purple Mansion, they would have collapsed under the violent attacks of the Lieyang Sect and the Rong family.

The current result is quite good. The Song family does not have to tear each other apart, and the Liuyun Sect can continue to survive in Lingzhou.

"Clan leader, what exactly is that... Master Xia here for? I just heard him talking about setting up an array. Aren't you and the Grand Elder the masters of array formations? Why did you invite him here specifically?" Song Qingqian endured for a long time, and finally said what he had been holding back in his heart.

This was not a secret, and Song Changsheng had no intention of hiding it. Hearing him ask, he said bluntly: "The formation he wants to set up is not an ordinary formation, but a cross-domain space transmission formation that can directly connect to Sifang City."

"Really?" Song Qingqian's eyes suddenly lit up.

He naturally knew the difference between ordinary space teleportation arrays and cross-domain space teleportation arrays. Simply put, Song Changsheng and Song Xianming were from self-taught backgrounds and mastered the most basic type. The teleportation distance was very limited and could only cross one or several states. It was a short-range space teleportation array.

The transmission distance of the cross-domain space teleportation array is several times or even dozens of times that of the short-range space teleportation array!
Let me ask, who in the four realms doesn’t know about the antiquity and prosperity of Sifang City?

But the long distance has become the biggest obstacle for people. Many people can never reach Sifang City in their entire lives. They can only learn about the oldest city in the four realms from the fragments of notes and talks of their predecessors.

It would be different if there was a cross-domain space teleportation array. A distance of millions of miles could be reached in an instant, greatly reducing the time cost and giving everyone the opportunity to see the city of their dreams.

"Now you know how valuable Master Xia is? Setting up a cross-domain space teleportation array is not something that can be done overnight, so we must not neglect it during this period.

In addition, you should also warn the clansmen in the mansion to try not to get close to the room where Master Xia is. This person has a strange temper and is difficult to deal with, so as not to suffer losses."

"Please rest assured, clan leader. I have already told them that no one will appear within ten feet of Master Xia."

Song Changsheng nodded slightly and said, "I'm quite confident in your ability to handle things. Let's go, don't stand at the door, go in first. We have to arrange a banquet to welcome Master Xia in the evening, so we can't compromise on etiquette."

"My nephew has made arrangements since receiving your message, but I don't know if it will satisfy the master." Song Qingqian took out a list from his sleeve and handed it over. Song Changsheng took it and glanced at it. It was basically a dish made from the flesh and blood of various monsters, and there were also several rare second-level spiritual fruits and spiritual wines.

It would cost at least 30,000 to 40,000 spirit stones, which is equivalent to eating one [Foundation Building Pill] in one meal. For the Song family, the specifications of this banquet can be said to be the best of the best. If Xia Wuqie is still not satisfied, then Song Changsheng will have no choice.

But he soon noticed that the spiritual wine used in the banquet was neither [Hundred Fruit Wine] nor [Bamboo Leaf Green], but a spiritual wine called [Han Chi Lu]. Song Changsheng thought about it carefully for a while, but had no memory of this kind of spiritual wine in his mind, and couldn't help feeling confused.

"What is this [Hanchi Dew]?"

Song Qingqian said with a smile on his face: "This is a new third-level spiritual wine brewed by the family brewing workshop. It is said to be brewed with third-level spiritual rice as the main raw material.

The wine has a light and elegant aroma and tastes sweet and refreshing. Drinking it can stimulate the acupoints in the body of a cultivator and speed up the absorption of spiritual energy.

In addition, it also has a suppressive effect on certain special injuries. For example, if there is residual fire poison in the body, long-term drinking of this wine can help alleviate or even eliminate it.

This was just officially launched a few days ago and has not yet been officially put on the shelves. The elders and I have already tried it and the effect is very good.

My nephew thought that Master Xia was of an extraordinary status, and that [Hundred Fruit Wine] was not up to standard, and [Bamboo Leaf Green] was not suitable either. So I thought of trying this newly brewed [Cold Pool Dew]. If Master Xia was satisfied with it, then it meant that the quality was fine, and maybe I could even sell it to Sifang City in the future."

Song Changsheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had known for a long time that Xia Yunxue's new spirit wine was just one step away from success, but he didn't expect the breakthrough to be so quick.

It was true that someone handed him a pillow when he felt sleepy. On his way back, he was worrying about what goods to sell in the store in Sifang City. Now he had a choice.

Just as Song Qingqian said, Xia Wuqie is a perfect wine tasting subject. If even he can't find any problems, then he believes that this spiritual wine can have a place even in Sifang City.

He nodded with satisfaction and said, "You and I have the same idea. Your arrangement is very good. Just follow the list."

"Yes, sir." Song Qingqian took the order and left.

Song Changsheng turned around and looked at Song Qingxing and Song Qingxi behind him and said, "You don't have to stay here, go back to the family, and ask my mother and uncle about the store in Sifang City for me to see if they have come to any conclusion."

"Next, I plan to stay in the Wutong Secret Realm to practice." Song Qingxing suddenly said.

"With the accumulation of these years, you can indeed sprint towards the Purple Mansion Stage, but the power of the laws in the Wutong Small World is chaotic, and only Purple Mansion cultivators can stay for long. When you practice in it, remember not to rush. It is better to seek stability than speed."

"clear."

"Oh, right." Song Changsheng seemed to suddenly remember something. He reached out and took out a scroll from his storage bag and handed it to Song Qingxing.

"This is a rune I got by chance. Take it with you. You can look at it more when you comprehend the laws. It will be good for you."

The rune that Song Changsheng mentioned was exactly the "Tao" rune that he had obtained when he used the [Eye of Delusion Breaking] to peek into the Heavenly Dao when Song Xianming broke through the Purple Mansion and was ignorant of the immensity of the world.

This rune played an indispensable role in his quick breakthrough to the Purple Mansion. Even now, he often visualized this rune when practicing and benefited greatly from it. Although it was just one word, it contained thousands of great principles. It was truly mysterious.

However, the threshold for visualizing this character is not low. He has given it to Song Xianming, Xia Yunxue, Song Lutong, Song Luzhou and others.

Basically, no one gained anything, only Song Xianming got a little bit, and afterwards Song Changsheng never gave anything to other people.

He guessed that it might be related to the cultivator's comprehension. Song Qingxing's comprehension was amazing, and he should be able to gain something from long-term visualization.

However, Song Qingxing didn't know how great an opportunity he had at that moment. He put it into his storage bag and said softly, "Thank you, uncle."

"Why are you being so polite? If you need anything, just tell the family. Go ahead."

……

As night fell, Song Qingqian had already prepared a banquet and invited Xia Wuqie to attend.

Although the banquet was sumptuously prepared, Xia Wuqie was not in the mood and did not even move the jade chopsticks in front of him.

With his status, he had already gotten tired of the things on the table and had no interest in them at all. If it wasn't for Song Changsheng's face, he wouldn't have come here.

Song Changsheng had expected this result, but the purpose of this banquet was not to eat and drink, so it didn't matter whether people used their chopsticks or not.

He picked up the wine pot, stood up, poured a glass of wine for Xia Wuqie and said, "This wine is a third-level spiritual wine brewed by Song's mother recently. Master, you can try it and see if it suits your taste."

When Xia Wuqi heard that it was a third-level spiritual wine, he finally became interested. He looked at the white jade wine cup in front of him and saw that the wine inside was unusually clear, without any impurities, and it had a unique fragrance.

He stretched out his fingers and touched the wall of the glass. The bone-chilling cold made him shiver, as if what he touched was not a wine glass, but a large piece of ancient black ice.

Xia Wuqie also drank frequently and had tried no less than ten kinds of third-grade spiritual wines, but this was the first time he had seen one as chilling as this one, and he couldn't help but become interested.

“This wine is quite interesting.”

As he spoke, he picked up the wine cup and drank it all. It was not as cold as he had imagined, but rather very sweet and mellow. He could feel a slight chill after it entered his throat, but it was not strong.

After tasting it carefully, Xia Wuqie put down the wine cup and praised: "Good wine, it tastes like fruit wine at first, but it feels wrong when you taste it carefully. Elder Song, what is the name of this wine?"

Song Changsheng smiled and said, "This wine is called [Hanchi Dew], it's not fruit wine, but rice wine."

"Rice wine?" Xia Wuqie was stunned, then sneered, "Elder Song, don't try to fool me. I've drunk rice wine before, and it was so sour and astringent that I could barely drink it. It's worlds apart from this [Cold Pond Dew]."

"If it was ordinary rice wine, why would Song bring it to the master to make a fool of himself?"

Seeing that he was serious, Xia Wuqi was also a little shaken, and asked in surprise: "Is it really rice wine?"

Song Changsheng smiled but said nothing.

Now Xia Wuqi was sure that he was not joking.

"Elder Song, please give me another drink."
