Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Born in the borderland, the beast tide is the eternal pain in the hearts of all border cultivators. Over the past thousands of years, countless people have been killed by beasts. Now that he knows that the remnants of the monster clan in the Shiwan Mountains are about to make a comeback, Song Changsheng can't help but feel a little heavy in his heart.

"Ugh……"

With a deep sigh, Song Changsheng lowered his eyes and discovered that countless monsters were hiding in the ruins, looking at him cautiously. There was vigilance, awe, and hatred in their eyes.

Thinking about the mission of this [One-horned Black Rhino], Song Changsheng suddenly had the urge to kill them all with one sword. These were the vanguard forces that would invade the Da Qi cultivation world in the future.

But for Jin Xuan's sake, he suppressed the impulse, waved his sleeves to roll up the [Bai Sha Qiongqi Cauldron], and in a few flashes he returned to the cave where Jin Xuan was in seclusion.

"Fortunately, the boss arrived in time, otherwise I would be in great danger this time." Jin Xuan, who watched the entire battle with his own eyes, said with lingering fear.

With the strength displayed by that [One-horned Black Rhino], let alone before it broke through, even after it broke through to the third level, it would never be a match for the opponent. If Song Changsheng had not rushed over to protect it, it would probably have become the opponent's meal by now.

“It was sent by the old dragon that once dominated the Black Water Marsh to recruit you. Although it was blocked by me this time, the old dragon still has the will to return to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and will definitely send even more powerful monsters here in the future.

You have now broken through to the third level. What are your plans for the future? Do you want to continue to associate with these monsters or return to Cangmang Peak with me? "Song Changsheng looked directly into its eyes and asked calmly.

Jin Xuan was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he said softly: "Boss, if I say that I have gotten used to the life here and don't want to go back with you, you will definitely be disappointed, right?"

Song Changsheng nodded without hesitation and said, "A little bit."

Jin Xuan's eyes suddenly dimmed.

But soon Song Changsheng changed the subject and said, "However, you and I are not master and servant. I respect your opinion. If you want, I can break the blood contract and let you go at any time."

Jin Xuan's huge eyes suddenly reflected a ray of brilliance, and he stared at Song Changsheng's eyes, as if trying to see the truthfulness of Song Changsheng's words.

Song Changsheng accepted its gaze very calmly without feeling guilty, because what he said was true.

If Jin Xuan really began to yearn for the freedom of the outside world because of his experiences during this period, although he would feel a little regretful in his heart, he would not continue to restrict its freedom with the blood contract, but would let it go.

As he said, there was no master-servant relationship between them.

Jin Xuan was deeply moved by Song Changsheng's attitude. They were connected by blood, so he naturally knew that what Song Changsheng said was sincere.

The trace of nostalgia for the outside world in its heart disappeared without a trace at this moment. It shook its head and said, "Where is there real freedom in this world? Even as strong as the [One-horned Black Rhino], it still had to submit to the [Black Dragon Demon King] and eventually lost its life for it.

Our clan was considered a powerful clan in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. However, we were used as cannon fodder by the Thunder Demon King to attack Luoxia City, and our elite members were killed beneath the city walls.

If my father had not pretended to be dead and escaped, I would not even have the chance to reincarnate."

At this point, Jin Xuan suddenly raised his head and said, "I've made up my mind, Boss. I want to go back with you, but before that, I need to go to the Demon Realm."

"Hmm?" There was a hint of doubt in Song Changsheng's eyes.

Jin Xuan looked through the mountain, at the monsters below, and said, "I once promised them that when I break through the third level, I will take them out of the human territory and go to the monster territory. I can't break my promise."

Song Changsheng shook his head slightly and said, "What you are doing may not be a good thing for them. If the [Black Dragon Demon King] makes a comeback and launches another beast tide, these monsters without the protection of the big monster will eventually become cannon fodder."

"Then find a place for them to live where they won't be disturbed." Jin Xuan said without hesitation.

As a "people's education version" turtle, keeping its word and repaying kindness are its most basic qualities. It has enjoyed the offerings of these monsters over the years, so naturally it has the obligation to protect them.

Even if we have to leave, we can't just sit back and watch them become cannon fodder for those demon kings.

Song Changsheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Just do whatever you want to do. I support your decision."

After saying that, he waved his sleeves, and a golden tortoise shell appeared in front of Jin Xuan, and said lightly:
“This is the tortoise shell that was left behind by Jin Jia. After my weapon refining skills reached the third-grade upper grade, I refined it into a third-grade upper grade magic weapon.

You have now broken through to the third level, which is enough to unleash the power of this magic weapon. Take it. As long as you don't run into a third-level top-grade monster, you will be invincible. "

Feeling the blood-connected aura coming from the tortoise shell, Jin Xuan's eyes lit up and he said with great joy: "Thank you for the gift, Boss. With this, I will be more confident in this trip."

Song Changsheng flipped his hand and took out the [Bai Sha Qiong Qi], took out a fist-sized scarlet blood ball from it and said: "This is condensed from the blood and flesh essence of the [One-horned Black Rhino] and the remaining original power in its body.

I have already removed the evil spirit from it. You can take it with you this time. If you take it at a critical moment, it will allow you to briefly burst out with the strength of a third-tier, top-grade monster."

From the [One-horned Black Rhino], he only took the rhino skin and its horn. The rest of the flesh, blood, bones, and even the inner elixir were all condensed into this blood ball. It contained terrifying power, and even an ordinary Purple Mansion cultivator would be at risk of exploding and dying if he took it.

Only a monster with a strong body like Jin Xuan can use it safely.

Looking at the blood ball, Jin Xuan was extremely moved. He took it together with the tortoise shell. The thousands of words in his heart finally turned into one sentence: "Thank you for your trouble, Boss."

“Why should we thank each other? I wanted to go with you, but when I went deep into the demon realm to gather intelligence, I caused a big commotion there. We have many enemies. Once we are exposed, it will be a disaster for you. So I won’t go with you.

Therefore, you must be careful on this trip and protect yourself first. If you encounter a strong enemy, break the jade slip I put inside the tortoise shell, and I will cross the river and bring you back."

"As ordered!"

……

After a few days, Jin Xuan's cultivation became stable. After refining the tortoise shell given to it by Song Changsheng, it gathered all the monsters under its command to the foot of Lingfeng Mountain, preparing to lead them across the Canglan River and return to the monster realm.

Before leaving, Jin Xuan hesitated for several times, but finally asked the question that concerned him the most: "Boss, I have been away for these years, is Yun kid okay?"

During the years he lived in Cangmang Peak, Song Changsheng was basically working outside or in seclusion. The relationship between him and Jin Xuan was more like that of father and son, while Song Qingyun, who grew up with him, was more like a brother.

During these years away, the thing it missed the most, apart from the spiritual wine brewed by Xia Yunxue, was Song Qingyun.

Song Changsheng has been here for many days, but Jin Xuan has never heard any news about Song Qingyun from him. This makes Jin Xuan instinctively feel that something is wrong.

It had been wanting to ask this question before, but it had held back until now.

"I thought you wouldn't ask." Song Changsheng showed helplessness on his face.

Seeing him say that, Jin Xuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he asked hurriedly, "Did something happen to Yun kid?"

Song Changsheng shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know either." "How could it be..."

“Twelve years ago, Yun’er followed me to Sifang City, and then stayed in Gusu’s cultivation world to train. At the beginning, he would regularly send messages to the family, but later he lost contact. Until now, the family has not received any news about him.

It was as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, without any sign or trace, he just disappeared.

I asked the Bandung Chamber of Commerce to help me look for it, but after eight years, I still found nothing.

Now, I only know that he is still alive, and nothing else.”

Song Changsheng spoke calmly, but his slightly trembling fingers showed that his heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

As a father, although he sounds relaxed and calm, how many people can really be at ease?
Hearing this, Jin Xuan fell silent. There had been no news for twelve years. It would have been fine if he was dead, but he was still alive.

There are only two reasons to explain this. First, he was trapped in a certain place. Not only could he not escape, he couldn't even communicate, and even his own Qi was blocked.

The second reason is that he himself was unwilling to come back and took the initiative to cut off contact with the Song family.

Whether it was Jin Xuan or Song Changsheng, they both believed in Song Qingyun, so they were more inclined to the first one, thinking that he must have been trapped, which was why there had been no news.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

But it was different within the Soong family.

At the beginning, they were indeed more inclined to the first option, but as time went on, some discordant voices gradually emerged. They believed that Song Qingyun's training was fake and that he really wanted to use it to leave the family.

These people had very good reasons. They believed that Song Qingyun did not have the blood of the Song family flowing in his body, so he naturally lacked a sense of identity with the Song family. Moreover, the clan rules had long stipulated that all adopted sons should marry Song family daughters and have children after they reached adulthood. This was the iron rule of the family.

But Song Qingyun never fulfilled this rule and kept making excuses for it.

In their view, this is a sign of disloyalty to the family.

And this loss of contact indirectly confirmed their speculation.

Therefore, many people within the Song family believed that Song Qingyun had voluntarily left the family.

Fortunately, this matter was directly related to Song Changsheng, and the family elders remained silent collectively, so as not to make these remarks public. Otherwise, it would not just be doubts and rumors, but at least the result would be removal from the family tree.

He was not labeled a traitor because of Song Changsheng.

Therefore, over the years, Song Changsheng has also been under some pressure in this matter. It is precisely because of his protection that Song Qingyun has not fulfilled his obligations. Although the reasons are legitimate, if you look into it carefully, this is an act of taking the lead in violating clan rules.

Song Changsheng could only remain silent about this.

It’s not that anyone is deliberately targeting or trying to use this to undermine Song Changsheng’s prestige.

The main reason is that Song Qingyun has been cultivated according to the standards of Purple Mansion Seed in the clan. The family has invested a lot of resources in him over the past decade. Every resource of the family is extremely precious. He has enjoyed the best resources, but now he has been gone for more than ten years and there is no news at all.

This is really unfair to those members of the family who have the least resources but have always contributed to the family.

The man and the turtle looked at each other in silence for a long time before Jin Xuan spoke softly to comfort them, "As long as he's still alive, there's hope. Xiao Yunzi may have some difficulties. Others may not believe him, but we cannot."

Song Changsheng sighed faintly and said, "In fact, I hope that he has stopped contacting us because he wants to leave the family."

"What?" Jin Xuan looked at him in disbelief.

"Taking the initiative to leave at least proves that his situation is safe. I will just pretend that I never had this son. But if he is really trapped, how can I find him in such a vast world..."

At this moment, Song Changsheng is no longer the prestigious patriarch of the Song family, but a father who is worried about his descendants.

"Good things will happen to good people. Xiao Yunzi will definitely be safe and sound."

Although he said this, Jin Xuan was actually very worried about Song Qingyun.

Song Changsheng quickly adjusted his state and said calmly: "Okay, I'm not at the point where I need you to comfort me. Take your brothers and set off as soon as possible. I still have to go to Dingyuan City."

"Okay, Boss. Take care."

"You too."

"Little ones, let's go!"

Accompanied by Jin Xuan's long roar, all the gathered monsters began to move in an orderly manner towards the direction of Canglan River.

Although their numbers are large, they appear to be well-organized under the organization of a group of second-level monsters.

In fact, most of these monsters don’t know what this trip means. They only know that human cultivators are constantly squeezing their living space. If they want to continue to survive, they can only follow their "king" to migrate.

Migrate to the vast territory on the other side of the river that belongs exclusively to the demon clan.

However, only a very small number of second-order monsters with higher intelligence knew how dangerous the seemingly calm river was. It was impossible for Jin Xuan to protect so many monsters alone.

In other words, a considerable number of them will not be able to reach the other side.

But there is nothing they can do about it. The Shiwan Mountains no longer belong to them. The new owner is cleaning the house, and they are destined to be the ones to be cleaned up.

Only the "homeland" that they have never met is their final destination!

Song Changsheng stood on the top of the sacred peak, watching them leave quietly, just like he had watched Song Qingyun leave twelve years ago.

When the torrent of monsters disappeared from his sight, Song Changsheng sighed and turned to fly towards Dingyuan City...
