Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

After listening to Song Changsheng's plan, Song Xianming frowned and stroked his beard and asked, "Do you think now is the right time to build a large formation?"

"Yes, the family's current finances are very abundant, enough to support the consumption of the large formation. In addition, after the battle of Tianniu Mountain, the surrounding environment is also very stable, and no one will usually come to disturb us. I think there will never be a more suitable time than now." Song Changsheng calmly expressed his thoughts.

Song Xianming pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Then let's notify the Elders Council, gather resources, and rebuild the mountain protection formation."

"Well, let's make a list of materials first, and then notify Sister Shi to go to the family treasury to take inventory. Over the years, the family treasury has accumulated a lot of spiritual materials, and there should be quite a few that can be used.

Let's refine the formation base first. As for the formation flag, we have to wait for the family to purchase materials. It's a pity that the family's mulberry forest and spiritual silkworms were destroyed in the previous battle, otherwise we could save a lot of time. "Song Changsheng said with regret.

The Song family's ancestral lineage was known as the [Jinxiu Banner Song Family] because of their superb skills in weaving formation flags, spiritual robes and other magical instruments. Song Taiyi, who was born into a direct lineage, naturally inherited this fine tradition. He carried spiritual silkworms with him, and after arriving at Cangmang Peak to establish the family, he built a silkworm house for raising spiritual silkworms in Lingxiu Mountain and planted dozens of acres of fire mulberry forest.

The fact that the Song family was able to make such great achievements in the art of formations is closely related to the formation flags woven with the silk produced by these spiritual silkworms.

Unfortunately, in the previous joint invasion by the Lieyang Sect and the Rong family, the fire mulberry forest and the silkworm houses for raising spiritual silkworms in Lingxiu Mountain were all destroyed.

Although the Song family chose to rebuild at the first moment of the battle, it is not easy to cultivate spiritual silkworms, and they have not grown up yet. The highest grade is only the second grade, and there is not a single third grade one. The silk they spit out is of no use at all.

Otherwise, these spiritual silkworms could save Song Changsheng and the others a lot of time.

After all, the most time-consuming and expensive part of setting up the mountain protection formation is weaving these formation flags.

An ordinary third-level formation often requires more than a hundred third-level formation flags. The higher the grade of the formation, the more flags are needed. In addition, the power of the formation is also closely related to the number of formation flags.

Unfortunately, the mountain protection formation is the one that consumes the most formation flags.

According to the plan of Song Changsheng and Song Xianming, they need to take Cangmang Peak as the center, and move a spiritual peak with a second-level spiritual vein to each of the four directions of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, and then arrange a third-level top-grade formation at the spiritual spring of each spiritual peak. Finally, ask the geomancer to connect the spiritual veins of these spiritual peaks with Cangmang Peak, and finally form a third-level top-grade five-element chain formation.

In other words, the two of them need to set up four more formations of the same level as the [Thousand Illusions Mysterious Formation], which will require thousands of formation flags.

Weaving these formation flags requires a large amount of third-level spiritual silk, and each one needs to be woven by Song Changsheng or Song Xianming personally. From purchasing the silk to weaving, the workload is daunting just thinking about it.

But this part cannot be left to anyone else and must be completed by the two of them.

Moreover, these five third-grade top-quality formations are only the main part of this chain formation, and a large number of second-grade formations are also needed as assistance.

Although this part can be completed by the other second-level formation masters of the Song family, the workload is no less than that of the two of them, and in some aspects it is even greater.

Just the formation flag part would take Song Changsheng and Song Xianming at least four to five years.

In addition to requiring a lot of time to solve the problem of the formation flags, the workload of refining the formation base is also not small. This part will take at least one or two years for the two of them.

After solving these two problems, the remaining task was to draw a huge amount of array patterns. This part would require at least two people to do it themselves, and it would take at least two to three years. According to their plan, to complete this third-level mountain protection array, it would probably take the Song family to gather the power of the entire family and spend about ten years. It was the largest and most expensive project in the Song family's five hundred years.

Preliminary estimates show that at least millions of low-grade spirit stones worth of spiritual materials will be needed.

If it weren't for the huge profits brought by spiritual wine and spiritual charcoal, Song Changsheng would not dare to set up such a large formation even if he had ten thousand courages.

However, although the cost is high, if this five-element formation can be set up, it will definitely be a huge boost to the Song family.

The five formations belong to the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Each one represents different characteristics. Song Changsheng will also incorporate his own comprehension and understanding of the Yin and Yang into them, and finally form a [Five Elements Yin and Yang Formation].

It can automatically absorb the power of the sun during the day and the power of the moon at night. The five elements are perfect and endless, making this formation extremely effective in terms of defense, offense, and burst capability.

I dare not say that I can defeat the Jindan Zhenren, but it should not be a problem to resist for a period of time.

Moreover, Song Changsheng and Song Xianming had considered the issue of how to enhance the power of the formation in the future when they first designed it.

No matter whether Song Changsheng or Song Xianming breaks through to the third-grade top-grade formation master in the future, they only need to re-melt the formation plate, arrange the third-grade top-grade formation flags, and then upgrade the five third-grade upper-grade formations to third-grade top-grade. The power of the formation will directly reach the fourth-grade lower grade.

The average early Jindan cultivator would have no choice but to flee in panic if they entered the formation. By that time, the power of their [Five Elements Yin and Yang Formation] would be no less powerful than the [Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect Formation] of the Tianjian Sect.

The two of them quickly mobilized the first batch of supplies from the family treasury and began to transform the [Thousand Illusions Mysterious Array] of Cangmang Peak. In addition, Song Luzhou began to contact the third-level geomancer in Luoxia City and asked him to move the spiritual vein.

In order to refine this great formation, Song Changsheng and Song Xianming were so busy that they couldn't stop for a moment.

Just like that, five years passed in a flash. The array base had been completely refined and most of the array flags had been woven. However, drawing the array patterns was also a huge project and would take at least several years.

However, during the period of time when the formation was being built, the Song family was not affected at all.

The sales volume of spiritual wine continued to rise, forcing Song Luzhou to repeatedly allocate manpower and material resources to expand the wine-making workshop.

In addition, the development of the vast small world is also in full swing. So far, several rare mineral veins have been discovered. It's a pity that the output is not high and can only meet the Song family's own use. There is no room for sale, but it is already very good.

All in all, everything is moving in a positive direction...
