Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

The war ended and the world returned to peace.

Many Song monks could no longer hold on and simply fell on the cold ground, closing their eyes and enjoying this rare victory under the warm sunshine. The continuous high-intensity battles had drained the last bit of their strength, leaving them without even the energy to cheer.

Song Changsheng was no exception. He stood motionless in the wind like a stone statue. Only the rising and falling of his chest proved that he was still alive.

He was so tired.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to make a sound and even strictly controlled their breathing for fear of disturbing his rest.

The entire vastness fell into deathly silence, with only the occasional rustling sound of leaves in the breeze.

"Boom-"

The lingering sound of the piano came from the clouds, like cold spring water knocking on jade, pleasant and crisp. The sea of ​​clouds rolled like silk along with the sound of the piano. Birds below chirped, the forest swayed, insects, fish, birds and animals jumped for joy when they heard the sound. It was like the fairy music from the nine heavens had fallen into the mortal world, making people unconsciously immersed in it.

The monks only felt an invisible force injected into their bodies, washing over their bodies and souls.

When the song ended, all the fatigue and sleepiness of the people were swept away, and they became energetic again.

A graceful figure slowly descended from the sky, and everyone immediately bowed down and said respectfully: "We pay our respects to the Immortal Master. May the Immortal Master have great fortune and may he be immortal forever!"

Mu Guibai nodded slightly and waved his wide sleeves. A drop of crystal clear colorful spiritual liquid passed through Song Changsheng's skin and entered his body. The dense scars on his body immediately recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Thank you, Master." Song Changsheng bowed his head. This drop of spiritual liquid from Mu Guibai could at least save him several months of healing.

"There is still a lot of bloody evil energy and demonic energy left in your body. It must be removed as soon as possible." After saying that, Mu Guibai stretched out his hand and touched Song Changsheng's brow. Several streams of magic power alternately poured into his body. After a while, bursts of blood-black mist evaporated from various acupoints around his body.

It took a full quarter of an hour to completely eliminate the blood, evil spirit and demonic energy from Song Changsheng's body.

Compared to injuries visible to the naked eye, these are the most difficult to deal with. If you are not careful, they will leave permanent hidden injuries. These hidden injuries are like time bombs. They will not cause any impact at ordinary times, but will erupt at critical moments such as breakthroughs or cultivation, making it difficult to guard against.

Without these burdens, Song Changsheng felt relieved and said gratefully, "If it weren't for Master's help, it would take me at least ten years to get rid of them all."

"How does it feel to fight against a Jindan cultivator?" Mu Gui asked with a smile.

"There is a huge difference between the Golden Core and the Purple Palace. If you are not careful, you may die. However, if I could do it again, I would still choose to draw my sword."

"It's easy to hold a sword against a weaker person, but it's hard to draw the sword against a stronger person. If you can do this, you have already touched the threshold of the Golden Core Stage.

Take a good look at this battle, it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation." Mu Guibai nodded with satisfaction, Song Changsheng never let him down.

"Disciple understands." Song Changsheng nodded, and then asked about the result of his fight with Lingmou.

Mu Guibai shook his head and said, “When I first met this person, I felt very familiar with him, but when I fought with him, I felt extremely strange and weird.

She has knowledge of thunder, space, the five elements and other things, and her magical powers are endless. After a fight, I could only barely gain the upper hand. Her identity is probably not that simple.

Moreover, the magic treasure she used this time was not the [Heavenly Fire Cauldron] that she had taken from Baicao Hall before, but a Dust Blade. "

Upon hearing this, Song Changsheng frowned immediately.

At the beginning, he was invited by Jiang Shuming to go to Baicaotang to participate in the Alchemy Conference, during which he was attacked. That was the first time that the Haoran Alliance appeared in the public eye. They stole the treasure of Baicaotang, the [Heavenly Fire Cauldron], by incredible means.

At first, they analyzed that it was because Lingmou was about to break through to the golden elixir stage, so he was willing to take such a risk to obtain the [Heavenly Fire Cauldron].

Now it seems that this is not the case. The other party's identity may not be as simple as they initially imagined.

"I wonder if Master has noticed that her eyes look very much like someone else's." Song Changsheng said meaningfully, recalling his contact with the other party.

"You mean... the leader of the Qingtian Sect?"

"I have such a guess. However, when I came into contact with it before, the mark you left on me did not feel unusual. But it worked this time."

He had met that Qingtian Shangren more than once. The other party never showed his true face, but his eyes left a deep impression on him.

This is also reflected in Lingmou, so I made such a guess.

Mu Guibai said in a deep voice: "The mark is not omnipotent. If she deliberately hides it, it is not impossible to get away with it."

"It's actually very easy to confirm whether it is or not. The Qingtian Sect is also accompanying the coalition forces on this expedition. Fellow Daoist Qingtian should also be at the front line at this moment. Master only needs to send a message to the front line to ask and we will know."

"You are right. I will confirm it after I return, and I will also send people to monitor the Qingtian Sect."

"Master is wise."

Mu Guibai turned to look at Song Qingxing who was not far away and said, "You have a good talent hidden in you. You have quietly broken through the Purple Palace and also comprehended the innate magical power like you. In terms of swordsmanship alone, you are not as good as him."

"As for the art of sword, I am only a half-baked one. Qing Xing is different. He was born for the sword and has the purest sword intent." Song Changsheng naturally did not hesitate to praise him. Even he was amazed by the previous sword.

If Song Qingxing had not stepped forward to break the deadlock, the outcome of this battle would be unknown.

"The Blood Demon Cult has suffered a heavy blow. It is unlikely to cause any more trouble for a long time in the future. You can relax a little. In addition..."

Mu Guibai avoided the eyes and ears of the crowd and switched to telepathy, saying, "The Heavenly Demon Notebook is extraordinary and involves the lifeblood of the Blood Demon Sect. It is better to hand it over if you have a chance. Even if you keep it for yourself, you cannot destroy it rashly, let alone practice it.

But if someone asks you, you can say you have destroyed it or you don’t know.”

"Disciple understands." Song Changsheng nodded solemnly. Mu Guibai rarely warned him so seriously, and he could understand the seriousness of it.

He originally wanted to hand it over to Luoxia City, but after hearing what Mu Guibai said, he seemed reluctant to take it over.

"Master has to go back to Luoxia to take charge, so you should be careful."

"Disciple sends you respectful greetings to Master."

After seeing off Mu Guibai, the Song family's cultivators who survived the war began to clean up the battlefield under the leadership of family elders such as Song Changxiu. This would be a long process as the damage done to the environment by the Purple Mansion cultivators was too shocking.

Soon, Song Changxiu counted the casualties of this battle.

Because of the protection of the mountain protection formation, the casualties in this battle were still within a controllable range, but it was still enough to make people feel heartbroken.

As for the foundation-building cultivators, Song Qingyan and Song Qingcheng died. All the hidden guards that Fengyu Palace had painstakingly trained over the years died except for the two brothers Qin Ze and Qin Yu. It can be said that the country has returned to the time before liberation.

Another 261 Qi-refining monks died, of which 121 were Song monks, and the rest were all elites selected from Yangzhou by Fengyu Hall through the Ascension Conference in recent years. They should have entered the Dark Hall to become spies, or entered the Hidden Hall to become reserve hidden guards, but they died in battle at the foot of Cangmang Peak.

Even among the monks who survived the war, almost everyone was injured. This was the heaviest casualties the Song family had suffered in recent decades.

However, the Blood Demon Cult suffered even more heavy casualties.

According to rough statistics, this battle killed two Purple Mansions of the Blood Demon Sect, seriously injured one, and nearly twenty foundation-building cultivators. Most of the casualties were caused by Song Changsheng and Tianjian, and even Lingmou contributed a part.

There are about a thousand Qi-refining monks.

Taking into account the casualties on several other battlefields, the Blood Demon Cult has already suffered damage to its foundations this time.

Moreover, according to Song Changsheng's observation, the leader of the Blood Demon Cult would probably not be able to jump around for much longer.

“Give a proper burial to all the monks who sacrificed their lives in this battle, and provide them with pensions and rewards as soon as possible.

The injured monks must be treated at all costs. Anything available in the clan treasury can be used at will. If there is nothing available, keep a count and let Yu Shi find channels to coordinate. In short, no one should be abandoned.

In addition, send a message to the front line and the vast small world to report the results of the battle and calm people's hearts."

Song Changxiu bowed and accepted the order, then started to get busy with a group of monks from the General Affairs Hall.

Only after taking care of the funeral arrangements did Song Changsheng have time to communicate with Song Qingxing.

The uncle and nephew stood and sat, looking at Song Qingxing's resolute face, Song Changsheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Fortunately you came in time, otherwise the casualties this time would be even more severe.

You resorted to violence right after your breakthrough. Is there anything wrong with your body?"

"My foundation is solid enough, I don't need to consolidate my cultivation." Song Qingxing shook his head slightly, reached out from his chest and took out a jade box, handed it to Song Changsheng and said, "I said, you don't need this."

Song Changsheng recognized it as the box containing [Amethyst Chalcedony] at a glance.

"You don't have to use it, but you can't be without it. If you take it, Xier and I will feel more at ease.

Since you saved it, it's up to you to decide who owns it."

Song Qingxing said without hesitation: "Leave it to my great aunt."

"Then you can give it to her and tell her it's my idea. I think it will make her happy."

Song Qingxing hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Xia Yunxue with the jade box.

Looking at his receding back, Song Changsheng said with infinite emotion: "You have all grown up..."

The battle on the Song side had just come to an end, and the result of this battle swept across the entire Da Qi cultivation world at the fastest speed.

"Song Changsheng fought against eight people alone and killed two of them?"

"Even Jindan Zhenren himself couldn't take it down?"

"The main force of the Blood Demon Cult returned in defeat?"

After receiving the news, the first reaction of all the major forces was to question the authenticity of the intelligence they had obtained, because it was too exaggerated and it was hard to imagine without seeing it with their own eyes.

They sent out a large number of spies to collect intelligence, and some even sent messages to Luoxia City to confirm the authenticity of the news.

As a result, no matter which channel the news came from, it told them the same thing: the news was true and not mixed with any water.

For a moment, the entire Da Qi cultivation world was in an uproar.

Because Song Changsheng's performance was too dazzling, the public even subconsciously ignored the [Bai Chen Ship] and Song Qingxing who created great results in this battle.

Everyone in the world admires the strong, and Song Changsheng's performance has refreshed the cognition of most people. Song Changsheng's prestige in Da Qi began to increase rapidly, reaching a terrifying height. Some people even compared him with Mu Guibai.

At that time, Mu Guibai was able to sit on equal terms with Jindan Zhenren with his Purple Mansion cultivation level and discuss Taoism with him. I wonder how many people envied him.

Today, Song Changsheng's performance is not inferior at all.

The most terrifying thing is that the two of them are actually master and apprentice.

As a result, Mu Guibai's prestige not only did not decline due to Song Changsheng's strong rise, but instead skyrocketed, which in turn set off a wave of people seeking to become his disciples in Luoxia City.

All major forces have also begun to re-examine Song Changsheng and the Song family.

Among them, the Tianjian Sect was the most uncomfortable. They felt as if they had eaten a dead fly. The strength of the Song family set off their decline.

Besides, anyone can ignore it, but they can't.

The exposure of the [Bai Chen Ship] and Song Qingxing's breakthrough have brought the Song family's overall strength to a new level, if the spirit beasts, offerings and the old ghost Chihuo are included.

The Song family's current Purple Mansion combat power has actually reached seven, and the gap between them has become negligible.

How many years has it been since the Song family rose to prominence? According to the current terrifying development trend, maybe when they wake up one day, the Song family will take over their current position.

This caused the entire Tianjian Sect to feel a great sense of crisis, and they began to seek a new way out for the future of the sect...

When the news reached the front line of the expeditionary army, the morale of the soldiers stationed outside Qixia Peak was greatly boosted, and they cheered like thunder!

Originally, when they received the news that the Blood Demon Cult was causing trouble, they were very nervous. After all, the rear was empty at the moment, and no one knew whether they could resist the Blood Demon Cult.

This had a great impact on the fighting spirit of the coalition forces. During this period, many family leaders even asked Song Xianming to return to defend the city. Their homes were about to be robbed, so how could they have the mood to continue fighting with the demon clan?

Not only the affiliated forces, but even the morale of the Song clan's own soldiers was extremely low, forcing Song Xianming to set up camp three hundred miles away from Qixia Peak and wait for news from the rear.

After all, even Song Xianming himself was very worried about the situation of his family. If the distance was not far, he would have led his troops back to provide support long ago. How could he continue to attack the demon clan’s base camp with such an army that had no fighting spirit?
That's a bit too crazy.

Now that the news of the Blood Demon Cult's defeat has reached the front line, the coalition forces' sluggish morale has instantly become extremely high, and everyone is eager to fight.

No one questioned the authenticity of the news, because Song Changsheng was omnipotent in their eyes.

Seeing that the morale was high, Song Xianming no longer hesitated and directly ordered the camp to be moved, heading straight for Qixia Peak!
