Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family
Chapter 576: Essence of Heaven and Earth, Negotiation of Interests
Restraining his inner emotions, Song Changsheng continued to read on. The second reward was a volume of fourth-level weapon inheritance, which was left by a famous fourth-level weapon refiner in the history of the Da Qi cultivation world. Its value was no less than a spiritual object of heaven and earth, and even more so.
The Song family has found the relevant part of the inheritance among the classics left in the library of King Qi City, including the fourth-level alchemy inheritance, talisman inheritance, formation inheritance and weapon inheritance.
It is equivalent to directly gathering all the foundation needed for the Song family to be promoted to a Jindan clan in the future.
Although I already have one, the suitability of inheritance varies from person to person. Who would complain about having too much?
The art of formations and the art of weapons have always been the areas that the Song family is relatively good at. Luoxia City's inclusion of this item as part of the reward was obviously a well-considered decision, and it can be said that it touched the heart of the Song family.
These things are much more appropriate than spirit stones.
After all, the Song family's "level" is still a little bit lacking, and there are many things that they don't have the channels to buy even if they have spirit stones.
Continuing down, I found another one. Compared with the previous two, this thing is a little special. It is three drops of [Essence of Heaven and Earth].
Song Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
He had been well-read since he was young, and later he had the "Magic Book of Creation" which was comparable to an encyclopedia, so he was not unfamiliar with the term "Essence of Heaven and Earth", but he did not expect Luoxia City to bring it up like this.
This item is a typical cultivation resource that is monopolized by the upper class.
[Essence of Heaven and Earth] can only be produced in places with a strong sense of world laws, such as the fifth-level spiritual veins known as the ancestral veins, the blessed lands opened up by powerful people, and the secret treasures hidden in the cracks of space above the nine heavens.
Their place of production has already determined that it is almost impossible for low-level cultivators to obtain such resources, because both the fifth-level spirit veins and the blessed lands are controlled by those ancient forces that possess the Nascent Soul True Lord.
Most of the secret treasures above the Nine Heavens are ownerless. After all, the sky is so vast that even if all these forces unite, they will not be able to digest them.
But the area above the Nine Heavens is a big threshold. If one wants to safely pass through obstacles such as the Gangfeng Layer and the Beifeng Layer, one must have the cultivation level of at least the Nascent Soul Stage.
It is extremely difficult for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage to obtain the [Essence of Heaven and Earth]. At least they have to establish a relatively deep connection with a Nascent Soul True Lord or a relatively ancient force.
"It seems that Luoxia City should be connected to a certain Yuanying Zhenjun, but I don't know which one it is." Song Changsheng thought secretly in his heart.
Seeing Song Changsheng staring at the animal skin in his hand in a daze, Shen Qingxiu thought that he didn't know the wonderful use of [Essence of Heaven and Earth], and explained softly: "This [Essence of Heaven and Earth] contains the laws of heaven and earth, which can help cultivators comprehend the power of the laws. In addition, it can also be used to sacrifice and refine magic tools, and its wonderful uses are endless.
With your cultivation level, refining one drop at a time is enough. Don't be greedy, as too much is as bad as too little."
"Thank you, uncle master, for clearing up my doubts. I will keep it in mind." Song Changsheng bowed sincerely. This was indeed a great gift for him.
However, this also indirectly highlights the way Luoxia City and the Song family get along with each other. Song Changsheng is the bridge and bond that maintains the relationship between the two sides.
Everything Luoxia City provides to the Song family is based on its personal investment in Song Changsheng. The Song family is just a byproduct, so these rewards are mainly for Song Changsheng.
But this is normal. What Luoxia City needs is an ally who can share the pressure with it and fight side by side in the future, not just a pawn.
But as for the current Song family, their strength is still far from enough. As long as the Song family does not produce a Jindan cultivator, it will be impossible for them to truly become an ally of Luoxia City.
Looking at the entire Song family, there is no one more suitable for investment than Song Changsheng.
This is a big gamble. As long as Song Changsheng can successfully break through the Jindan stage, relying on the various ties between Song Changsheng and Luoxia City, the entire western part of the Da Qi cultivation world will become an iron plate, completely changing the pattern of the Da Qi cultivation world.
At that time, the Da Qi cultivation world will become a three-way competition among the west, the middle and the east.
Luoxia City will no longer be pinned down in the southwest by the Jinwu Sect and unable to move.
Of course, this is all based on the premise that Song Changsheng successfully breaks through. Once he fails, everything will be empty talk, and even the relationship with the Song family will be broken due to the loss of the connecting bond.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Luoxia City had to make additional investments again and again, and this time they even took out all the [Essence of Heaven and Earth] that was reserved for Mu Guibai alone.
All of this is due to the fear that previous investments will go down the drain.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Song family to receive such a generous reward based on their contribution to the Lost Pearl World this time.
"Have you decided which two spiritual objects from heaven and earth you need?" Shen Qingxiu asked again.
Song Changsheng said without hesitation: "In reply to Uncle Master's words, I need two kinds of spiritual objects of heaven and earth, the wood element and the earth element."
He has already completed the earth element, but Song Xianming needs to complete the fire, earth and wood elements.
The Fire Element has been completed with the help of the [Spark Essence] that Song Changsheng had previously purchased from the Bandung Chamber of Commerce. The Earth Element and the Wood Element are still missing, so this is a good opportunity to complete the Earth Element.
There is no need to worry too much about the remaining wood element.
Hearing his choice, Shen Qingxiu's eyes flashed with understanding, and she nodded and said, "It's exactly what I thought."
After saying that, she turned her palm over, and three jade bottles with different patterns and a jade slip appeared in her hand.
Needless to say, the jade slip contains the fourth-level weapon refining inheritance.
"This contains the Essence of Heaven and Earth, three drops in total. There is a restriction set by Senior Brother himself at the mouth of the bottle. Remember to reinforce the restriction every time you take it.
The other two bottles are [Tianhe Crystal Sand] and [Jiamu Tree Heart], which need to be refined step by step and not recklessly. "Shen Qingxiu handed the things to Song Changsheng one by one, and kept reminding him.
Song Changsheng listened carefully, and felt a warm feeling flowing in his heart.
Regardless of whether it was for profit or not, all the teachers and fellow apprentices in Luoxia City had nothing to say about him.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic. How many seal fragments did those little guys get?" Shen Qingxiu crossed her slender fingers and looked at Song Changsheng steadily.
After distributing the rewards, it’s time to negotiate the deal.
At this moment, the relationship between the two was no longer that of elder and junior, but they were negotiating on behalf of Luoxia City and the Song family respectively.
Song Changsheng waved his sleeves, and all the seal fragments in Song's hands appeared in front of Shen Qingxiu one by one.
Among them, the pigeon egg-sized piece found by Song Youfu instantly attracted Shen Qingxiu's attention. What attracted her was not the size of the fragment, but the half golden rune on it.
This is what really attracted her, because they were eager to know whether this seal was the [Imperial Seal]. The part they had in their hands could only make up one and a half runes. Unfortunately, after comparing it with ancient books, the complete purple palace was just a "seal" character, which did not explain anything.
Seeing this, Song Changsheng cleared his throat and said, "I have asked someone to put it together and was able to spell out a complete rune, but I have searched through all the classics and still can't find out what the word is."
Shen Qingxiu's eyes became more intense when she heard this, and she said with a smile on her face: "This text is quite special, it's normal that you can't recognize it. With two complete characters, we should be able to determine the details of this seal.
You name your price.”
Song Changsheng knew the value of the seal very well. Hearing this, he did not rush to speak, but said sincerely: "Don't worry about it for now. Uncle Master should take it to confirm it first. If it is really the legendary [Imperial Seal], I think Uncle Master will not treat his disciple unfairly."
Shen Qingxiu chuckled and said, "You are quite open-minded. I have to say this in advance. If this is not the [Imperial Seal], the value of these fragments will be greatly reduced."
"It's worth whatever it's worth. A disciple can't take advantage of the master, right?"
Song Changsheng said this completely from the bottom of his heart. The Song family can be said to have benefited from both ends this time, and the gains were already huge. There was no need to take advantage of such a thing.
If these fragments were not fought hard for by Song Youfu and his men, Song Changsheng could even consider giving them directly to Luoxia City to earn a favor.
"In that case, you will wait here for a while." After saying that, Shen Qingxiu hurriedly left with the seal fragments...
It is said that Luoxia City has a deeper foundation than the Song family. In order to spell out a complete character, the Song family spent a lot of effort, but Shen Qingxiu only spent a quarter of an hour and then returned.
There was an unconcealable look of disappointment on her face.
Song Changsheng had anticipated this result, but he still asked.
"Just like we guessed before, this is not the [Imperial Seal], but a general's seal. Judging from its shape, it should be the 'General's Seal' of the Great Qi Dynasty." Shen Qingxiu sighed.
The value of the "General's Seal" is unquestionable in the Immortal Dynasty, but in modern times, it is not even as valuable as a spiritual treasure, and its collection value is greater than its practicality.
This result is not entirely a bad thing for Luoxia City. After all, the fragments are not completely in the hands of Luoxia City. Tianmai Sect will definitely investigate these fragments, which will be a troublesome thing if it is true.
But the most difficult part at the moment is that they don't know the whereabouts of the [Imperial Seal], nor do they know whether it is in the mausoleum or has fallen into the hands of others.
Although somewhat disappointed, Shen Qingxiu did not mean to negate the Song family's contribution. He said straight to the point: "As you can see, the value of these fragments is not high, but our city is still willing to recycle them at the price of 100,000 low-grade spirit stones."
Song Changsheng knew that the price had reached its peak, and that was considering that there were casualties among the Song family on this trip. Otherwise, thirty thousand would be too much. After all, a complete "General's Seal" still had collection value, but a broken one would be really useless.
He was not greedy and agreed directly. After all, the remaining scriptures, books, magical powers and secret techniques were the big ones.
Taking the spirit stone handed over by Shen Qingxiu, Song Changsheng also took out a storage bag and said, "Uncle Master, inside are the classics that our clan got in the royal city. Except for a very small part, I have copied all of them. Please have a look, Uncle Master."
This is also the truth. Only a very small part of it has been retained. There is no other way. These things may just be icing on the cake for Luoxia City, but they are the foundation for the future development of the Song family.
Those more core skills, magical powers, and inheritances must be kept secret.
He believed that Shen Qingxiu could also understand this.
Shen Qingxiu really didn't care about the second half of his sentence. She smiled and said, "I said that the Song family is the biggest winner this time. Those scriptures and books really fell into your hands."
This is not difficult to guess. The Song family was the first to discover the existence of Qi Wang City. When Lian Siyu and others rushed there, they found that most of the palaces had been looted.
Even the spiritual soil in the spiritual plant garden was dug up. It was simply insane.
Even though she had been mentally prepared, she still felt a little shocked when she saw the storage bag filled with jade slips.
The royal city had been damaged to that extent, and she had thought that these scriptures and books would not be preserved very intact, but she did not expect that there were still so many.
Before she could speak, Song Changsheng took out two identical storage bags.
"Is there anything else?" Shen Qingxiu exclaimed.
"There are indeed quite a lot of them, but most of them are some miscellaneous travel notes or realm insights. I guess there are quite a few that overlap with those in my master's sect. Please choose according to your preference." Song Changsheng quickly gave Shen Qingxiu a reassurance, fearing that it would scare her.
Shen Qingxiu calmed down a little and said, "Do you have any requirements regarding compensation?"
Song Changsheng had already prepared for this question, and quickly said, "Scriptures, classics, and cultivation resources are all fine."
Although the value of these books is enough for him to exchange for several magic weapons of good quality, magic weapons are of no use to the Song family now. The Song family does not lack magic weapons, but what they lack is foundation.
So he felt that exchanging these things would be more beneficial to the Song family.
Shen Qingxiu nodded and said, "Okay, but I have to send someone to calculate the value of these books first. This process will definitely not be too short. You can rest for now. Your cave has been preserved for you all these years. I will send someone to notify you after the calculation is completed."
"No problem. However, I want to go see Yuechan first. I wonder if this time is convenient." Song Changsheng stood up and said.
"It's convenient for you, of course."
After that, Shen Qingxiu seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "I almost forgot to tell you that the Medicine King Senior from Medicine King Valley came to check Yuechan again some time ago.
According to Senior Medicine King, Yuechan will recover very quickly. It may take three to five years, or even ten to twenty years, for Yuechan to wake up. When that happens, you... must be prepared."
Song Changsheng knew what Shen Qingxiu meant. No one knew what Zhuang Yuechan would look like when she woke up from her coma. They had to be mentally prepared to lose her in advance.
But no matter what, it's always something to be happy about when things get better.
He did not answer Shen Qingxiu, but walked along the familiar path towards Zhuang Yuechan's courtyard...
In fact, he had already prepared himself mentally.
