Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

After getting the jade slip, Song Youfu, with a look of despair on his face, set off with his team. Although there were four people in name, Song Qingshi was only responsible for collecting intelligence and providing them with intelligence support, and would not follow them.

Therefore, their team consisted of only three people, plus the two people sent by Luoxia City, a total of five people formed this treasure hunting team.

Five foundation-building monks are already a considerable force, and with the various protective treasures bestowed by their elders, the safety factor is greatly increased, making Song Youfu feel a lot more at ease.

The first stop of their trip was a deep pool located at the junction of the Da Qi and Dayu cultivation worlds. The pool was famous in those days because a cold dragon was born there.

Later, True Lord Yu Shu personally killed the fourth-level cold dragon. People at that time just thought that she was doing it to rid her hometown of harm, and it was praised as a good story for a while.

But in fact, Yu Shu Zhenjun did this only because he was attracted by the hiddenness of the thousand-foot deep pool and hid the first treasure in it.

Because it is the treasure that True Lord Yu Shu prepared to satisfy his needs for early practice, this ten thousand feet deep pool is the least dangerous of all the treasures.

This is also the reason why Song Youfu and others chose to go here first. You have to pick the softest persimmon first, right?
It's true that they have a map in their hands, but after more than 5,000 years of geological changes, it is still unknown whether the thousand-foot deep pool is still there. No one knows how credible this thing is, and it is possible that someone has already got there first.

Even if it has not been discovered yet, after so many years, how much of it can be preserved?

In short, Song Youfu felt from the bottom of his heart that this mission was unreliable. Unfortunately, the clan orders were as heavy as a mountain, and he would have to run around to get a response from the higher-ups.

"I hope I don't run into those bastards from the Tianjian Sect again." Song Youfu thought secretly in his heart.

There are not many states bordering the Great Qi Cultivation Realm and the Great Yu Cultivation Realm, and the place they want to go needs to pass through Yunzhou, which happens to be the sphere of influence of the Tianjian Sect. It was when Song Youlin was traveling in Yunzhou that he had a conflict with the Tianjian Sect...

While Song Youfu and others were searching for the treasure, Song Changsheng mobilized a large amount of materials from the family treasury and began to upgrade the mountain protection formation of Cangmang Peak. Only half of it had been completed before, and there was still a long way to go if he wanted to upgrade all five formations.

Originally he wanted to take it slow, but this time the message from his ancestral vein gave him a sense of urgency, so he would feel more at ease if he finished the work earlier.

In the following days, in addition to upgrading the mountain protection formation, Song Changsheng also organized the cultivators who had been selected to guard the key nodes of the formation, and practiced battle formations from time to time.

Holding flags of different styles and colors, the crowd gathered and dispersed under the command of Song Changsheng. Sometimes they were as murderous as sharp swords, sometimes as unpredictable as big rivers, and sometimes as solid as rocks.

The five magic weapons that Song Changsheng used as the core of the formation have been continuously nourished over the years, and their power is far greater than before. Even with Song Changsheng's current cultivation level, he dare not take it lightly.

All of this was seen by the Song elders in the General Affairs Hall. In Song Changsheng's hands, this formation was more than a hundred times stronger than before.
"Once this formation is completely transformed, it will probably be several points stronger than the Tianjian Sect's [Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect Formation]." Song Chang'an watched everyone practice intently and said in a very affirmative tone.

"Only in this way can the family have the confidence to face those people. Have Yu Shi and the others been transferred?" Song Luyun looked at Song Changxue on the side and said.

"Everyone who has shown up in the ancestral vein has been transferred to the vast small world, without exception."

Song Luyun nodded slightly and said, "Very good, now everything is ready, just waiting for the guide to come."

Just as Song Luyun said, everything is ready, and now all they have to do is wait.

A year passed, and the Da Qi cultivation world was peaceful. The guiding envoy did not arrive, but Song Xianming completely refined the [White Jade Golden Pill] and successfully broke through to the late Purple Mansion stage.

But unfortunately, even though Yuan Tianshu refined the [White Jade Golden Pill], his cultivation level still remained at the middle stage of Purple Mansion and he could not make any progress.

There was no way around it. Yuan Tianshu's aptitude was at the bottom among all the Purple Mansion cultivators, otherwise he would not have become a prisoner of Dong Tianxie.

Over the years, the gap between him and Song Xianming has gradually become apparent.

Song Changsheng was still a little disappointed with this result.

Needless to say, the value of a late Purple Mansion cultivator is extremely high. Even among the Golden Core sects, they are the backbone of the sects. They are also an important force for external deterrence.

If Yuan Tianshu succeeds in breaking through, the Song family will have one Purple Mansion Great Perfection master and two Purple Mansion late stage masters. In terms of top combat power, they will be able to compete with the Tianjian Sect. But now they are a step behind.

Song Changsheng could only comfort himself that everything was up to fate.

Fortunately, after Song Xianming's breakthrough this time, his attainments in formation have improved significantly. He can now help him upgrade the mountain protection formation, and the progress has become much faster.

However, it was puzzling that the guiding messenger had not arrived at the Song family yet. Song Changsheng even suspected that the other party had been killed on the way.

"Whether you come or not, don't pay too much attention to it. It's better to concentrate on building the formation. In addition, the expedition is about to begin, and we still have many positions that have not been fully prepared. We need to speed up the progress." Song Xianming stroked his long white beard and said lightly.

"Grandpa, what you said makes sense." Song Changsheng nodded, and then stopped thinking about it and concentrated on engraving the formation pattern.

While the grandfather and grandson were talking, a group of special guests arrived at Wangyue Market on the banks of Luoshui River. The leader was a middle-aged monk wearing a black robe with red and gold and a small tuft of gray goatee.

After decades of vigorous development, coupled with the growing power of the Song family, the scale of the current Wangyue Market has long surpassed the original Liuyun Market, and the number of resident cultivators is as high as several thousand. Therefore, the arrival of this group of people did not cause any waves.

"It's rare to have a market of this size in such a remote place." A graceful female monk next to the monk with a goatee looked around and said lightly.

Unexpectedly, behind her, a young man who was a step behind her curled his lips and said with disdain: "Aunt, why do you have to praise them so much? Can a place of this size be called a market? It can't even be ranked in our Daqian."

"Brother, you are absolutely right. This place is at most a refugee concentration camp. A glimpse of it can give us a general idea of ​​the whole picture. I guess that so-called family branch doesn't have much strength." A young girl in a white dress next to the man said disdainfully, and she also belittled the Song family.

"Tsk." The man sneered and said, "A branch of the family, are they worthy? They were the descendants of criminals, and the family was magnanimous and allowed them to return to the clan. Who would have thought that they were just a bunch of petty thieves and scumbags, and they actually betrayed the family. It really brought shame to our ancestors!"

Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous and had already attracted the attention of the people around him, the leading monk with a goatee frowned and scolded, "Enough, we are not here to call for punishment. I don't care what dirty things there are between you and Song Lu Ke, no one can sacrifice public interests for personal gain.

If you dare to disobey, no matter which old man is standing behind you, you will not be forgiven easily!"

This person was obviously of high status. The man and woman who had spoken earlier did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces after being scolded by him, and just nodded in agreement.

The elegant woman frowned slightly when she saw this, but she didn't say anything. "Let's find an inn to stay in first." The middle-aged man said this and then walked forward on his own.

This group of people were the envoys from the Jinxiu Banner Song Family who came to the Daqi Cultivation World from the distant Daqian Cultivation World. Logically, after they arrived in the Daqi Cultivation World, they should have notified the Song Family to send someone to greet them or go directly to Cangmang Peak.

However, I never thought that this group of people would come to Wangyue Market quietly, and even want to spend the night here. It is really puzzling.

The intelligence network that the Song family had built over the years came into play at this moment.

Lingzhou has long been completely covered by the Fengyu Palace's intelligence network. Even the slightest disturbance cannot escape their perception, let alone core areas like Wangyue Market.

Song Changsheng had given instructions in advance, so the spies of Fengyu Palace have been paying special attention to unfamiliar faces recently. These people have extraordinary temperaments and attracted the attention of the spies as soon as they entered Wangyue Market. Some spies even heard the conversation between them.

After decades of intelligence work, these spies have become very experienced. They quickly deduced that these were the group that Song Changsheng had asked them to pay attention to, and quickly sent people back to Cangmang Peak to deliver the message.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Song Changsheng received the news passed on by the spies of Fengyu Palace. Looking at the images played in the [Photo Pearl], Song Changsheng fell into deep thought.

The first time he saw those people, he was almost certain that they were the guiding messengers from the ancestral lineage, because the arrogance engraved in their bones had not changed in the slightest even after seventy years, and he could see it at a glance.

"What do you think, aunt?" Song Changsheng put down the [Photo Bead] and said calmly.

"These people's behavior is so strange. What is their purpose in coming here so quietly?" Song Luyun also had no idea. This was a situation they had not anticipated in advance.

"There are five of them in total, two old and three young. The leader should be the monk with a goatee. His attitude is acceptable.

The middle-aged woman currently does not seem to have any hostility towards our Song family. Instead, those young people seem to have bad intentions.

Hearing them mention Uncle Lu Ke, could it be that they are the one who tried to steal Uncle Lu Ke's [Yin Yang Purple Tree Heart]?" Song Changsheng made a bold guess.

"Don't rule out this possibility. What does the clan leader mean?" Song Luyun vaguely guessed Song Changsheng's thoughts.

Song Changsheng said expressionlessly: "If the timing is right, it's possible to collect some interest first."

"I'm afraid it's not easy to achieve. The guiding envoy is most likely a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Purple Mansion, and the other woman's cultivation level should not be much lower. If we fail, it will surely lead to a crazy counterattack from the ancestral bloodline." Song Luyun did not quite agree with Song Changsheng's decision, it was a bit too risky.

“Don’t worry, I won’t joke about the safety of my people.

I plan to go to Wangyue Market. If there is any news from Fengyu Palace, I will trouble you to receive it on my behalf." Song Changsheng stood up and said.

"Go ahead without worry, Patriarch. I'll be there for the family."

Song Changsheng nodded slightly, then took a few steps forward and disappeared in front of Song Luyun.

During this period, in addition to upgrading the formation, he was also actively digesting the inheritance of Master Yu Shu. What he valued most was the other party's understanding of the "Avenue of Space".

He had already dabbled in the art of space, and after gaining insights from True Lord Yu Shu, his comprehension of the "Great Way of Space" was advancing with each passing day.

Now, not only has he successfully mastered the cultivation of the magical power [The Universe in the Sleeve], but he has also improved the small magical power [Shrinking the Earth into an Inch] that he had previously comprehended, and his speed has more than doubled compared to before.

Unless a Jindan Zhenren comes in person, there is almost no one who can keep up with his speed.

The hundreds of miles between Cangmang Peak and Wangyue Market were just a moment for him.

After contacting the spies from the Wind Whisper Palace, he quickly learned the location of that group of people. In fact, he could know their approximate location without any contact. Judging from the nature of these people, they must be in the best inn in the market.

When night fell, Song Changsheng's figure appeared above the Feixian Inn like a ghost. Although the inn's protective formation was in an activated state, there was not even the slightest ripple.

His spiritual awareness spread rapidly like the tide, and soon he found the room of those people. He instantly understood their cultivation levels.

Just as previously speculated, the middle-aged cultivator who was in the lead was a Purple Mansion Great Perfection cultivator, while the beautiful woman was a Purple Mansion Middle Stage cultivator, and the remaining three juniors were all above the late Foundation Establishment stage.

At this moment, the middle-aged monk and the beautiful woman were in the same room, probably discussing something, but they were using telepathy, and he couldn't understand what was going on. He could only give up and focus his attention on the three juniors.

There were two men and one woman, one of whom never spoke from beginning to end and was also excluded by Song Changsheng.

The only breakthrough lies in the other two people. Although their cultivation is good, they are still far from being cunning. If they are lucky enough, they should be able to gain something.

The most urgent task is to find out the purpose of these people as soon as possible, otherwise Song Changsheng will not be able to sleep or eat.

After waiting for a while, the man knocked on the girl's door...

"Brother, why don't you take a rest?"

"If you have something on your mind, it's hard to fall asleep."

"Brother, are you still worried about Song Yulong and the others?"

"Yes, Mu Ci, do you think these bastards have already escaped back to the Great Qi Cultivation World?"

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Song Changsheng's eyes...
