Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Song Changsheng and Peng Zhengxiong stood opposite each other. The surroundings were very quiet except for the rustling sound of the flowers, plants and leaves caused by the gentle south wind blowing through them.

Despite this, the pressure that Peng Zhengxiong brought to Song Changsheng was extremely great, keeping his muscles and nerves in a constant state of tension.

"You seem nervous."

After a while, Peng Zhengxiong said in a calm tone.

Song Changsheng looked calm, and said with a neither humble nor arrogant hand: "Senior, you are joking. Looking at the four realms, your power and cultivation are undoubtedly the best. I think that no matter who is in my position, it would be impossible to be calm and composed."

Peng Zhengxiong did not comment on his answer, and finally said nonchalantly: "He is eloquent, but it's a pity that he doesn't speak much truth."

Song Changsheng's heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and said, controlling his speaking speed and tone, "Junior doesn't understand."

"Really don't understand?" Peng Zhengxiong showed an inexplicable smile on his face, like a tabby cat that caught a mouse, and said lightly with his hands behind his back: "It seems that it has been too long and you have forgotten it, so I will remind you.

Jinxuan Grotto!"

When these words came out, Song Changsheng was shocked. He knew that Peng Zhengxiong might have come because of this matter, and this was also what he was most worried about.

At the beginning, he gave the inheritance of Yu Shu Zhenjun to Peng Siying as a thank-you gift, and specifically asked her not to mention it to anyone because he didn't want to cause trouble. He trusted Peng Siying, but it didn't mean that others could have the same trust in him.

Human nature is greedy. After getting something, we will not feel satisfied but will ask for more.

Although he said that he had never touched those inheritances, who would believe him?
After obtaining the inheritance, Peng Zhengxiong, who did not meet his psychological expectations, would he suspect that part of the inheritance or the treasure left by Yu Shu Zhenjun had fallen into his hands?
That is the inheritance of a Yuanying Zhenjun, and its value is immeasurable. Even though Peng Zhengxiong is a Jindan Zhenren and owns the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce with immeasurable wealth, he would still be tempted, right?
After all, the Nascent Soul stage is also a natural barrier blocking him.

"Boom..."

"Dong dong..."

Song Changsheng's heart beat faster involuntarily.

He is now facing a difficult decision: to deny it or to tell the truth?
"Once doubt arises, the truth is no longer important..." These words suddenly popped up in Song Changsheng's mind.

Since Peng Zhengxiong said this, it at least means that he has doubts in this regard. Lies obviously cannot dispel his doubts, but may further aggravate them, which would be counterproductive.

"If you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you hide your head, you'll get a knife too. That's all."

Without much hesitation, Song Changsheng decided to selectively tell the truth of the matter.

“If the senior is referring to the Yuanying Zhenjun inheritance in the Jinxuan Grottoes, then it was indeed I who told Fellow Daoist Peng.

At that time, my fiancée was trapped in it because of the [Genjin Qi] that appeared out of nowhere. I and a senior brother from Luoxia City rushed to rescue her and accidentally discovered some clues.

However, my fiancée was seriously injured, and I wanted to return to Luoxia City as soon as possible, so I did not continue to explore further. After Brother Peng learned about it, he very generously gave me the badge representing his identity, so that we could take the black market's space teleportation array to return to Luoxia City.

In return, I told Fellow Daoist Peng about my discoveries in the Jinxuan Grottoes. I only provided some information and was not sure whether I could gain anything.

It was not until later that I learned from Brother Peng that it was actually the inheritance left by Jade Shu Zhenjun. "

"Is that true?" Peng Zhengxiong obviously didn't believe what he said.

"Everything I said is true. You can find out by asking Brother Peng." Song Changsheng naturally insisted.

“The inheritance of Yuanying Zhenjun is of inestimable value. You gave me such a great gift, why did you let Ying’er hide the truth?
Have you ever thought that if you tell me the truth, I can give you more than Ying Er!"

Song Changsheng bowed his head and said, "I have certainly thought about it in my mind, but I have known a saying since I was a child: it is important for people to be contented, and being contented brings happiness.

Besides, I really didn’t know the value of it at the beginning. I just wanted to thank Brother Peng for his help. The inheritance was discovered by Brother Peng and his men. I dare not take credit for it, let alone repay the favor.”

"You are quite cautious. You cleared yourself of all charges in just a few words. No wonder you can stand out from such a barren place as Lingzhou.

But sometimes, we are overly cautious. I asked these questions only to confirm my guesses, and I have no other intentions.

After all, I still owe you a debt of gratitude."

"Then why are you so scary?" Song Changsheng secretly complained in his heart, but said respectfully: "Junior dare not."

Peng Zhengxiong couldn't read minds, so he naturally didn't know what Song Changsheng was thinking. However, he was a smart man, so he had no problem making a rough guess.

He reached into his sleeve, took out a pure black card with gold stamping, and handed it to Song Changsheng.

Facing Song Changsheng's puzzled gaze, Peng Zhengxiong explained, "This is an admission ticket that allows you to enter the core trading fair of the black market. If you are lucky enough, you can find a lot of goodies that are not available in the outside world. However, an admission ticket can only be used once, so remember to prepare well before using it."

Hearing this, Song Changsheng's heart moved slightly. The black market has always been mysterious. All we know is that it is widely distributed and the bosses behind it are also extremely powerful.

The black market is generally used as a place for "selling stolen goods". Because the sources of the goods are not legitimate, it is often possible to find some treasures at low prices. For example, the [Millennium Stalactite Spirit Liquid] that Song Changsheng once found is basically not seen by the outside world.

However, most of the treasures that you usually come across in the black market are first- and second-tier treasures, and third-tier treasures are rare.

As his cultivation level improved, Song Changsheng hadn't been to the black market for a long time.

But Peng Zhengxiong just mentioned the words "the most core", which shows that the black market is also divided into different levels, and only with this kind of access permit can you enter.

Since even Peng Zhengxiong felt that he could find some great stuff, the value of this trade fair must be very high. This made Song Changsheng very excited, but he did not take it rashly.

There is no free lunch in the world. Who knows if there are any additional conditions?
Seeing his cautious look, Peng Zhengxiong was speechless and said unhappily, "This is the reward for your contribution to the Yuanying Zhenjun inheritance. If you don't want it, I will take it back."

Hearing this, Song Changsheng hurriedly took the admission ticket, then bowed and said, "Thank you for the reward, senior."

"Stop pretending. I still have to go discuss Taoism with you young people. You young people should also find something to do." After saying that, Peng Zhengxiong's figure flashed and he was already a hundred miles away, turning into an inconspicuous black dot.

Watching him leave, Song Changsheng couldn't help but wonder, "He deliberately sent Fellow Daoist Peng away to talk to me, was it really just for this?
The actions of these senior masters are really confusing."

At this time, Peng Siying, who had been secretly observing from the window in the attic, saw Peng Zhengxiong leave, walked downstairs briskly, and asked curiously, "What did my father say to you? He also used his spiritual sense to seal the space, making it so mysterious."

Song Changsheng sighed and said, "It's because of the Jinxuan Grotto incident. There really is no impenetrable wall in this world."

"Oh, I forgot about this." Peng Siying exclaimed, and then said apologetically: "Dad knew it was you when you first came to Sifang City. He sent people to keep an eye on me in Chixiao City.

I wanted to find time to tell you, but I went to the Daqian Cultivation World and forgot about it. He didn't make things difficult for you, did he? "

Song Changsheng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself, "So he had already confirmed it. If I had denied it just now, he might not have been so kind, right?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know how I forgot such an important thing." Peng Siying lowered her head, her tone full of self-blame.

Song Changsheng quickly comforted him, "Senior Peng was just asking casually, and he didn't make it difficult for me. He still has a reward for me."

He spread out his hand, revealing the small black card in his hand.

"What? It's just an admission ticket to a black market trade fair, and it's a one-time thing. Daddy is so stingy. I saw a stack this thick from him before." As he spoke, Peng Siying used his fingers to measure the thickness.

"I am very grateful for having such an opportunity."

He put the pass into his storage bag and began to ask about the usage of the pass. What Peng Zhengxiong had explained before was too simple and he had no idea how to use it.

"Do you remember where we first met?"

"You mean... Gambling Stone Pavilion?"

"That's right." Peng Siying snapped her fingers and said, "The Gambling Stone Pavilion is actually the property of the boss behind the black market. You just need to take this admission ticket to find the owner of the Gambling Stone Pavilion, and he will arrange it for you.

This trade fair is actually no different from the ones we usually attend, except that most of the items in it are of questionable origin.

Moreover, the composition of participants is quite complex, coming from all over the world, from all walks of life, and even from evil sects. As long as they have an entry permit, the black market will accept everyone.

But it is also because of this that it is easier to find treasures. I remember Daddy said that a treasure of a certain ancient sect once appeared at a black market trade fair. It was sold at a sky-high price and was almost sold to the black market by the original owner. Later, somehow the incident was settled and the ancient sect swallowed its anger. "

Song Changsheng was secretly shocked when he heard this. How powerful must the force behind the black market be to make a great human sect that Peng Siying called "ancient" helpless?
For a moment, his expectations for this trade fair increased a little bit.

"So when will this trade be held?"

Peng Siying thought for a moment and said, "It should be held once every ten years. It has been less than two years since the last time. It is held on the first day of August.

This period of time is just right for you to accumulate spiritual stones. You should prepare at least one or two million, otherwise you won’t find anything even if you go there once.”

The corner of Song Changsheng's mouth twitched slightly. Although the Song family had become more financially comfortable over the years, their expenses had also increased several times. Apart from the high-quality spirit stones brought back from Luoxia City last time, the spirit stone reserves in the inner treasury were only about 300,000, and the rest were all cultivation resources.

In eight years, he didn't know whether the Song family could save up two million spirit stones.

Perhaps realizing the difference in size between the Song family and the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce, Peng Siying quickly consoled them, “This admission permit has no expiration date. If the funds cannot be turned around, it is the same to keep it for future use.

Moreover, the quality of each trade fair varies, so you should learn more about it before going to see if there are any treasures you like.

In addition, there is often a premium when using spirit stones for transactions, so it is better to trade directly with the seller using other treasures."

"I understand. Thank you, Brother Peng, for clearing up my confusion."

"You're welcome." Peng Siying smiled, then glanced at the attic behind him and said, "If you're not busy, come upstairs and sit down. I can tell you about the Daqian Cultivation World Exchange Conference. It's very interesting."

As they were a single man and a single woman, Song Changsheng originally planned to decline politely, but after hearing the second half of Peng Siying's sentence, his heart moved slightly.

The Song family's ancestral lineage is located in the Daqian cultivation world. Since it is an exchange meeting for the younger generation, the Song family, as a local old-fashioned Jindan force, will certainly participate.

“It’s a good opportunity to get to know them.”

Thinking of this, Song Changsheng agreed.

The two walked up to the attic and entered the guest room where Peng Siying lived. After the host and guest sat down, Song Changsheng realized that there were only two of them in the huge attic. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why didn't fellow Taoists Qingluan and Hongluan come together this time?"

Peng Siying replied while making tea, "They both had other plans. In fact, only my father and I came to the Chamber of Commerce this time. I was not used to the people arranged by the Jinwu Sect, so I sent them away. That's why it seemed a little quiet."

"I see. My only knowledge of the Daqian cultivation world is from the books left by our ancestors. I only know that it is a more powerful cultivation world than Gusu. I'm sure the trade fair you are attending will be very exciting, right?"

"Yes, it was organized by the Wanxiang Palace, and invited more than a dozen Jindan forces from the surrounding cultivation world. The Jinwu Sect and Tianmai Sect also sent people. There were all kinds of activities, which were very exciting.

Wanxiang Palace opened the "Wanxiang Stone Forest" for us to visit, and Yuanying Zhenjun personally preached to us, and finally held a ring competition.

Did you know that there is also a Song family in the Daqian cultivation world? A man named Song Yuqing came and actually defeated a group of direct disciples from the Jindan forces and advanced into the top five. The four ahead of him were all from the two Yuanying forces, Wanxiang Palace and Yushou Sect.

It is said that Song Yuqing broke through to the Purple Palace before he was 100 years old, and had already achieved the Great Perfection of the Purple Palace before he was 200 years old. He is the most promising candidate of the Song family to break through to the Golden Core stage. "

At this point, Peng Siying looked at Song Changsheng and said with a faint smile: "Of course, I am still a little bit worse than you."
