Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

After careful consideration, Song Changsheng finally decided to accept Shen Qingxiu's plan. The number of scriptures and books he obtained in the Lost Pearl World this time was already sufficient, and it would take a long time to digest them.

At present, this batch of cultivation resources is more important, not to mention that it contains such heavyweight resources as the Demon King's Inner Core.

As far as he knew, Luoxia City had killed a total of three demon kings, the most recent of which was the [Thunder Demon King] who participated in the siege of Luoxia City.

This is most likely the one. If you miss it, you will miss it forever.

However, he was more curious about what Luoxia City had discovered from those scriptures and books that made them willing to place such a heavy bet.

"Let's do as Uncle-Master says, but can we replace the [Essence of Heaven and Earth] with [Amethyst Jadeite]?" Song Changsheng said after careful consideration. He still wanted to give Song Luzhou a chance to break through the Purple Mansion.

"Forget about [Amethyst Jadeite] and [Yin Yang Purple Tree Heart], we don't have any in stock."

Shen Qingxiu shook her head slightly, and then added: "The situation in the southern state has been a little abnormal recently, and [Amethyst Jadeite] is much more difficult to obtain than the spiritual objects of heaven and earth.

As far as I know, the external channels of all major forces have been cut off, and they are using the accumulation of these years, so you should be mentally prepared.

However, if you can use the demon king's inner elixir well, its effect will be much greater than a piece of [Amethyst Jadeite]. "

The Southern State naturally does not refer to the southern part of the Da Qi cultivation world, but the southern region of the entire human cultivation world. This is a very large area that covers dozens of former human kingdoms.

Shen Qingxiu's words were very obscure, but Song Changsheng still understood them. There must have been some unknown changes in the situation in the southern state, which led to the control of strategic materials such as [Amethyst Jadeite].

Even Luoxia City’s external supply channels have been cut off.

This is not a big deal for forces like Luoxia City or Jinwu Sect, but it is a hardship for forces like the Song family that lacks foundation and needs rapid development.

Song Changsheng was tactful and didn't ask any more questions, because it would be useless even if he knew, so he could only change his request and ask, "Can you exchange it for a spiritual object from heaven and earth?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingxiu looked calm and said calmly, "You want to fight for Song Xianming, right?"

"Yes, I wonder if my uncle-master can help me with this." Song Changsheng admitted generously.

Shen Qingxiu nodded slightly and said, "You can change it. What kind of attribute do you need? I have said in advance that resources are limited. I suggest you choose a few more attributes as alternatives."

"Then... Wood is positive, Wind is positive, and Fire is negative."

"Sure. It could be as long as ten days or as short as one or two days. I'll let you know when there's any news."

After saying that, Shen Qingxiu clapped her hands, and soon someone came in with a wooden tray and placed a storage bag respectfully in front of Song Changsheng.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Master."

After saying goodbye to Shen Qingxiu, Song Changsheng opened the storage bag and took out the demon king's inner elixir. Compared with the big demon's inner elixir, the demon king's inner elixir was obviously several times larger and was a dazzling golden color.

He only needs to hold it in his hand to clearly feel the surging power contained in it like the tide.

But the one in his hand is different from other demon pills in that it also contains a trace of destructive aura of thunder.

Just as he had guessed before, this was the demon pill belonging to the Thunder Demon King.

"The [Barrier Breaking Pill] is a top-grade third-grade elixir. It seems that I can't count on my fifth uncle this time. It would be safer to at least ask a third-grade or fourth-grade alchemist to take action." Song Changsheng pondered in his heart, thinking about the right candidate in his mind.

In fact, there are not many choices. There are only two fourth-level alchemists in the Da Qi cultivation world. One of them is Su Ding from the Jinwu Sect. He has only reached the lower fourth level in recent years. His talent in alchemy is not that outstanding.

However, this is one of the keys to his longevity, because he can refine all the life-extending elixirs himself, ensuring that his destiny is in his own hands.

Asking him to refine the [Barrier Breaking Pill] can at least guarantee a 70% success rate, and can maximize the use of this hard-earned Demon King's inner pill.

If the previous incident had not happened, Song Changsheng might have really gone to Su Ding to make the elixir. Unfortunately, he really couldn't figure out Su Ding, so it was better for him to stay away from him.

In addition to him, there is another fourth-rank alchemist in the Da Qi cultivation world, and that is the current head of Baicao Hall, Lu Yuming. He is also a legend. With the cultivation base of the Purple Mansion Stage, he has achieved the status of a fourth-rank lower-grade alchemist. He is more than 650 years old.

Each of them is more survivable than the other.

In terms of the duration of life extension, he is only slightly lower than Su Ding.

Of course, the difficulty of prolonging life between the two cannot be compared. Considering the life level of a Jindan cultivator, a spiritual object of at least the fourth level or above must be effective.

The relationship between the Song family and Baicaotang is decent, and his friendship with Jiang Shuming is even deeper. If he asks Lu Yuming to refine the [Barrier Breaking Pill], the other party should not refuse.

Or he had another choice, which was to ask Mu Guibai for a letter of recommendation and ask the King of Medicine in the Dayu Cultivation World to refine it.

"Let's go to Baicaotang and take a look at Youxiang. I calculated that she has been a disciple for more than ten years. I don't know how much of Jiang Daoyou's skills she has learned." Song Changsheng thought secretly...

In Mengzhou, Baicaotang, on top of a scenic sacred peak, on the edge of a cliff on the mountainside, a thin woman in a goose yellow corseted long skirt sat cross-legged. There was a large dark red birthmark on her beautiful face, which was extremely eye-catching.

In front of her, there was a stack of brand new blank talisman papers, a jar of talisman ink made from a mixture of monster blood and cinnabar, and a talisman pen made from the finest monster wolf hair.

She closed her eyes tightly, gathered her spiritual awareness, picked up the talisman pen, and quickly drew on a blank talisman paper. In an instant, a first-grade top-grade [Golden Needle Talisman] was completed.

This was not the end yet. She continued to paint with her brush and finished drawing the entire stack of talisman paper in just half an hour.

There were a total of twenty pieces of talisman paper, and only five failed to be drawn, with a success rate of over 70%. While maintaining a high success rate, she was also able to ensure that her drawing speed was faster than others, which was the most commendable thing.

"Junior Sister Song's drawing speed is truly amazing." A warm voice came from behind Song Youxiang, with undisguised admiration in her eyes.

When Song Youxiang heard the voice, he quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother."

"Oh, I've told you so many times, we are siblings, no need to be so polite." The man waved his hand nonchalantly.

He walked forward, picked up a piece of talisman paper with wet ink, nodded and said, "The speed is fast enough, and the quality of the talisman is guaranteed. Your talent is really not something that ordinary people can learn.

Do you really not consider becoming Master's direct disciple? Looking at the entire Daqi cultivation world, Master is already among the top three in the art of talismans. If you return to the Song family, it will be very detrimental to your future development." The man advised earnestly.

This was obviously not the first time Song Youxiang had heard such a man's argument. He shook his head and said politely, "Brother, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I have already explained this to the teacher. I'm sorry."

“Except for dealing with evil demons, my Baicaotang has always maintained a neutral attitude. Even if you join the sect, it will have no impact on you in the Song family.

Patriarch Song and Master are close friends. If you can become Master's personal disciple, he will definitely not blame you."

The man obviously couldn't quite understand Song Youxiang's idea. In his opinion, Song was okay in other aspects, but was far from perfect in the art of talismans.

A rare talent in the art of talismans like Song Youxiang in hundreds of years can only fully develop his potential if he stays under the guidance of his own master. Returning to the Song family would be tantamount to self-destruction.

Without a famous teacher to teach her, and without the profound talisman inheritance, why bother coming here? Song Youxiang knew this very well. If not, Song Changsheng would not have sent her all the way to Baicaotang alone.

But isn't this exactly why she came here?

As long as she finishes her studies and returns, she can fill the gap in the Song family's knowledge of talismans.

If she stayed in Baicaotang, the family's plans and efforts would be wasted, and the Song family would still be blank in the field of talismans, which was something she didn't want to see.

"Someone always has to give, and that person can be someone else, but it can also be me."

Seeing Song Youxiang's firm attitude, the man sighed softly. He didn't know how many times he had heard such an answer.

But he was not going to give up. In his opinion, a genius should not be buried.

Just as he was about to say a few more words of persuasion, he saw a petite female cultivator coming up and said respectfully, "Big Brother, our master just sent a message saying that a distinguished guest is coming, and asked you to go down the mountain to greet him on his behalf."

"Dignified guest?"

The man thought about it and couldn't remember anyone who had delivered a visiting card during this period. To be precise, no one should have come at this time, after all, Jiang Shuming had been in seclusion for a long time.

But even in seclusion, he still suggested that he go to greet the visitor, which suggests that the visitor must be of some extraordinary status.

Not daring to neglect it, he nodded and said, "I understand. I'll go right away."

Just as he was about to leave, he looked back at Song Youxiang on the cliff and said, "Junior Sister Song, why don't you come with me?"

Hearing this, Song Youxiang was a little surprised and couldn't help but point at himself and said, "Me?"

"That's right, you can help me."

"This... As you wish." Song Youxiang bowed and accepted the order.

Seeing this, the woman who had come to deliver the message earlier became unhappy and quickly grabbed the man's arm and said, "Big Brother, this is a little inappropriate, isn't it?"

"What's wrong with that? Master, can you say that I am the only one who can go to greet him?" the man asked, tilting his head?

"That's not the case, but even if you want to bring someone along, you have to consider the face of the sect, right? Song Youxiang is not a direct disciple of the master, and his cultivation is low. He even has a face...

Anyway, please take back your decision, Senior Brother." The woman finally took into consideration her fellow disciples' reputation and did not say that.

Even so, the man's face looked a little unhappy, and he said sternly: "Fellow disciples should help each other, respect each other, and don't let me hear similar words from you again.

Otherwise, I will punish you for alienating fellow disciples!"

After saying that, without caring about the woman's pale face, he took Song Youxiang down the mountain.

The two waited for a while at the foot of the mountain, and saw a figure walking in the air. His figure was erratic and seemingly random, but every step he took could cover a distance of dozens or hundreds of miles.

Soon, a figure came closer. He was wearing a green shirt and there was no trace of spiritual energy on his body. He looked like an ordinary person.

Before he could speak, Song Youxiang beside him called out in surprise: "Patriarch."

Song Changsheng looked Song Youxiang up and down, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Although your cultivation has not improved much, your whole spirit and energy are refreshed. It seems that my decision to send you here was not wrong."

"This is all thanks to the teacher's careful cultivation and the senior brother's continued care." Song Youxiang responded respectfully.

"Is it the person next to you?" Song Changsheng shifted his gaze over.

The man finally woke up from his dream and bowed quickly, saying, "Master, your disciple Fang Zhongsheng greets Master Zixu."

Song Changsheng nodded slightly and said, "You are very good."

He reached out and took something out from his sleeve, and with a flick of his finger it turned into a stream of light and fell into Fang Zhongsheng's hand.

"This is a meeting gift for you."

Fang Zhongsheng quickly bowed and said, "Thank you Master Zixu for the reward."

"You don't have to be so polite. Considering the friendship between your master and I, it's not too much for you to call me your uncle."

"Disciple greets uncle-master." Fang Zhongsheng tactfully changed his words.

"Is your master in seclusion?"

"That's right. Do you need me to go and report this?"

"Since Brother Jiang is in seclusion, there is no need to disturb him. I am not here to reminisce with him. I have other important matters to attend to. Please pass this thing to him for me."

As he spoke, Song Changsheng took out a jade slip from his storage bag.

"Master, do you have anything to say that I need to pass on?"

Song Changsheng shook his head slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang will naturally understand what I mean after seeing this. You should go up the mountain first. I will have a private chat with Youxiang."

"Then I will withdraw first."

After Fang Zhongsheng left, Song Changsheng looked at Song Youxiang and asked, "How have you been doing in Baicaotang these years?"

"Everything is fine. The teacher taught me everything he knew, and the senior brother also took good care of me." Song Youxiang replied respectfully.

"Have you been ready to break through the foundation building in these years?"

Song Youxiang's eyes flashed, and he nodded and said, "Grandson is always ready."

"Very good. What I just handed over to your senior brother is a scroll of talisman inheritance of the third-grade top grade. He will arrange for you to build your foundation after he comes out of retreat. You must be mentally prepared."

"Third-level top-grade?" Song Youxiang was shocked. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Song Changsheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be better ones when you return to the family."
