Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"Patriarch, there is a result."

Song Qingshi walked into the hall quietly and said respectfully.

What he was talking about was that Song Changsheng's whereabouts had been leaked before. He stayed at the Five Elements Peak to investigate for many days, and only now did he get the exact results. It can be seen how deeply the other party was hiding.

"who is it?"

"The person who leaked the news was the Zhang family, a small Qi-refining clan in Yangzhou. Fifty people from this clan were recruited by the family and were arranged to guard the outer perimeter of the Five Elements Peak. They have a special magical instrument that can detect mana."

As he spoke, Song Qingshi presented Song Changsheng with a pitch-black snake-shaped ring.

Song Changsheng took it and looked at it, and found that the internal structure of the ring was very ingenious, which had probably never appeared on the market. This meant that this was most likely a gadget that the Blood Demon had tinkered with.

"I didn't expect that after all my efforts to hide my tracks, I would end up failing because of such a small thing." Song Changsheng was filled with emotion. It turned out that no one should be underestimated.

"However, the thing is good. Give it to Changrong and let him try to imitate it." Song Changsheng changed the subject and threw the ring in his hand to Song Qingshi.

"As ordered."

"May I ask the clan leader, how should we deal with Zhang family?"

Song Changsheng said without hesitation: "Of course, they will be charged with treason. Anyone who participated in it will be sentenced to death in front of the leaders of all affiliated forces to deter lawlessness."

"But... according to my nephew's investigation, there are problems with the entire Zhang family."

"The whole tribe has problems?" Song Changsheng's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a cold tone: "Then it's the Yi tribe!"

"This incident has reminded me of this. I will use this incident to investigate the remaining forces in Lingzhou and Yangzhou one by one. You can decide how to deal with them after you find out what they are."

"Nephew understands." Song Qingshi's expression was calm, as if he had expected such an outcome. Song Changsheng never showed mercy to his enemies.

"Go ahead, you will personally supervise this matter. Also, call Qingyu here, I have something important to tell her."

……

"Niece greets the clan leader." Song Qingyu bowed gracefully, with a very fresh scent of elixir emanating from her body.

"I heard from my aunt that your alchemy skills have reached the second-level upper grade?" Song Changsheng gestured to Song Qingyu to sit in front of him.

"The continuous refining of pills day and night during this period has greatly improved me. Now I can refine second-level high-quality pills stably."

"Very good, how is the success rate of the pill?"

Song Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then gave a more conservative figure: "About 50%."

Hearing this, Song Changsheng's face immediately showed a look of surprise. A 30% success rate for making a second-grade, top-quality elixir would be considered as a second-grade, top-quality alchemist.

Song Qingyu had only started refining second-grade superior quality pills during this period of time, and now he has a 50% success rate, which is equivalent to that of many senior second-grade superior quality alchemists.

She is still very young. As long as she is willing to work hard, her success rate in making pills can be further improved.

As expected of him, he was the first place winner in the alchemy competition of the family competition. His talent was truly beyond reproach. It was worthy of the family's all-out training. Now, they finally gave him a surprise.

"Are you willing to challenge yourself?" Song Changsheng asked with a smile.

"As long as the family needs it, your niece will do her best to help you."

Song Changsheng waved his hand, and a specially made white jade box appeared in front of Song Qingyu. When he opened it, he saw a brown demon pill the size of an egg inside.

"This is the inner elixir of the Iron-backed Black Bear."

"The clan leader wants to refine the [Foundation Building Pill]?" Looking at the demon pill in front of him, Song Qingyu's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. For a second-level alchemist, the [Foundation Building Pill] is the pill that best highlights his own abilities.

Although [Foundation Building Pill] is only a second-grade superior quality pill, it can generally only be refined by a second-grade top-grade alchemist.

Song Changsheng's move was undoubtedly a reflection of his trust and importance towards her.

"That's right, this one is for you to practice with. Just treat it with a normal attitude. Five more demon pills will be sent back from the front line soon, so the materials are sufficient.

In addition, during this period of time, we have also obtained a lot of materials for refining [Foundation Building Pills] from the nests of those big monsters, so don't have any psychological burden. "Song Changsheng spoke softly, trying to reduce the pressure on Song Qingyu.

In fact, no matter how much [Foundation Building Pill] you have, it is never enough.

Even though a lot of materials were harvested this time, if there wasn't a certain success rate in making pills to support it, there would probably still be a big gap left.

Just the Song family itself has lost a lot of foundation-building monks. After the war, it will be necessary to train a new batch of foundation-building monks to fill the vacancies. The hidden guards of the Hidden Hall suffered heavy losses and will need to be rebuilt in the future.

In addition, the expansion of territory also meant that the Song family would need more foundation-building cultivators.

According to the unwritten rules of the cultivation world, any foundation-building cultivator who died while being summoned would need to be compensated with a [Foundation-Building Pill] after the war.

Up to now, the major affiliated forces have lost more than a dozen foundation-building monks. Just the compensation for these monks will require more than a dozen [Foundation-Building Pills].

All of the above are just basic needs, which are the fixed expenditures. The part exchanged for military merits is not included, which is the big part.

The Song family had called on troops several times, mobilizing tens of thousands of people, almost draining the mobile forces of the major forces in Ling and Yang states, but no one complained at all.

Why is that?
Naturally, they all came for the military exploits, or to be more precise, for the [Foundation Building Pill].

The foundation-building family needs to train more foundation-building monks to expand the family's power and maintain family rule.

The Qi Refining families need to cultivate Foundation Building Monks to complete the class leap.

These happened to be what the Soong family had promised before the war.

So they sacrificed their lives and shed their blood on the battlefield without any complaints.

Even if it's just to maintain the family's reputation, at least he would have to come up with dozens of [Foundation Building Pills].

Finally, there are rewards. In this expedition, many forces or monks performed outstandingly. These are typical, and rewards are inevitable after the war.

For example, Chiyang Guard, Chi Family and Wang Family.

All of these require [Foundation Building Pill].

Since Song Luzhou failed to break through and was frozen, the Song family's [Foundation Building Pill] has been refined by external alchemists. It is not a problem when the demand is small on weekdays, but now there is such a large demand, the cost of letting external alchemists to refine it is too high, and the gain is not worth the loss. Under such circumstances, Song Qingyu naturally became the best choice.

So the burden on Song Qingyu is extremely heavy.

She has always been smart, so she naturally understood this, but she still did not back down. Just as she said, as long as the family needs her, she will do her best!
Song Changsheng patiently waited for a month at the Five Elements Peak, and the first batch of [Foundation Building Pills] refined by Song Qingyu was successfully produced...

"Okay, okay." Looking at the six porcelain bottles neatly arranged in front of them, Song Luyun and others couldn't stop smiling.

Song Changsheng acted a little calmer, but the smile on his face that he couldn't suppress showed that he was also very happy at the moment.

No one expected that Song Qingyu's first attempt at refining the [Foundation Building Pill] would have a terrifying success rate of 60%, which is something that many experienced alchemists cannot achieve.

The success rate of Song Luzhou's refining of the [Foundation Building Pill] was just like this. Song Qingyu really gave them a surprise.

According to their original psychological expectations, a 40% success rate for the first time would be quite good. After becoming proficient in it, the success rate would definitely be higher. In this way, the Song family would not need to worry about a shortage of [Foundation Building Pills] after the war.

However, it is not without flaws. The quality of the [Foundation Building Pill] refined by Song Qingyu is much worse than that refined by Song Luzhou at the beginning. The gap is even greater when compared with the professional alchemist from Baicaotang.

But there is nothing perfect in this world, and it is difficult to strike a balance between quality and quantity.

After all, the reason why they chose to focus on training Song Qingyu was because her pill success rate was beyond ordinary people.

Besides, what the Song family needs now is quantity. A small flaw in quality is not important as long as it does not affect the success rate of the breakthrough.

Just some erysipelas can be eliminated by drinking a few more sips of [Bamboo Leaf Green], and it can also boost the sales of [Bamboo Leaf Green], which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, everyone was generous with their praises, and Song Qingyu was praised to the point of feeling a little embarrassed.

Song Changsheng coughed twice to interrupt everyone, and then said in a gentle tone: "In the next period of time, Qingyu will have to work harder.

Five demon pills have just been sent back from the front line, and the stock in the family treasury has also been mobilized. You need to refine these into [Foundation Building Pills] as soon as possible.

I have made some rough calculations during this period. After the war, the family will need at least 100 Foundation Building Pills that can be flexibly disposed of. If these demon pills are not enough, we can use spiritual medicine to refine them. We can only have more, not less. Can you do it?"

Hearing this exaggerated number, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

One hundred pills. It has been five hundred years since the Song family was founded, and the number consumed is not much more than this.

This would have been unthinkable decades ago, but now Song Changsheng just said it so casually, and they actually thought it was normal.

I can only say that times are changing too fast.

"Within one year, my niece will present one hundred [Foundation Building Pills] to the family!" Song Qingyu said in a firm tone.

Hearing this, Song Luyun quickly took her hand and said, "You don't need to rush. Although the [Foundation Building Pill] is important, your health is more important. You should pay attention to the balance between work and rest. The family will give you three years."

Song Qingyu smiled sweetly, nodded heavily and said, "Please rest assured, grandma, I know what's going on."

Song Changsheng continued to wait for a while and let Song Qingyu refine the second batch of [Foundation Building Pills]. It continued to perform stably and the success rate reached a terrifying 70%.

He took these thirteen [Foundation Building Pills] and set out for Qixia Peak.

Just a few days ago, he received news that a decisive battle was brewing on the main battlefield.

Once the decisive battle begins, the strategic value of Qixia Peak, which is only separated by a river, becomes extremely important, and he can only feel at ease if he rushes there in person to take charge.

As for the family, the Song family has just experienced a great victory, which has allowed the world to see the strength of the Song family. With Song Qingxing in charge, there will be no problems in the short term.

In addition, the space teleportation array of Qixia Peak has been completed and is interconnected with Wuxing Peak and Cangmang Peak. Even if something really happens, he can get back in time. The mountain protection array of Cangmang Peak has proven its stability and strength in actual combat.

The first thing Song Changsheng did upon arriving at Qixia Peak was to check the construction of its defense line.

After looking around, he was quite satisfied. Song Xianming combined the original natural formation of Qixia Peak to arrange a third-order superior-grade formation with both offensive and defensive capabilities. He didn't have much time left, and this was already the limit of what he could do at the moment.

In addition to the mountain protection formation, there are also a large number of formation traps and [Monster Hunting Crossbows] arranged on the periphery.

The early warning formation was deployed hundreds of miles away, even in the air. Any abnormal fluctuations in spiritual power would be detected immediately.

At present, the coalition forces are still continuously strengthening their defenses without any slackness.

“It’s a pity that Qixia Peak is too close to Canglan River and the Demon Realm, so we can only build a frontier fortress.

Otherwise, if the family is given some time to operate, they will definitely be able to build a central city that is not inferior to Dingyuan City. "Looking at the people below who were busy like ants, Song Xianming said with a somewhat regretful tone.

This was not his delusion. The land they had conquered, together with Zhangye County, was already as large as the combined area of ​​Ling and Yang states. If a portion was given to Luoxia City, the remaining area would at least be enough to establish a new state.

Although it is still a wild land, as long as it develops for a hundred years, it will not be much worse than the current Tuozhou.

It’s a pity that the geographical location of Qixia Peak is far inferior to Dingyuan City and there are too many uncertainties.

"As long as you want to do it, nothing is impossible. Wasn't Luoxia City just a frontier fortress when it was first built?"

Song Changsheng was quite disapproving of this. He thought that the so-called "cannot" was just due to lack of strength. Just because it is not possible now does not mean it will not be possible in the future.

"That's true, but will the Jinwu Sect and the Tianmai Sect really sit back and watch us and Luoxia City divide this land?" Song Xianming said with some worry.

It doesn’t matter to the Song family whether to develop the business early or late. They are just afraid that all their hard work will end up benefiting others.

“If there were no other targets, they would naturally come in and get involved, but the unowned land along the Canglan River is more than just the one under our feet.

There is a more vast and fertile land on the other side of Dingyuan City, which Luoxia City has already conquered for them, which is enough to satisfy the appetites of the two sects." Song Changsheng said with a distant look.

"Master, I am stupid. Why should the territory conquered by Luoxia City be handed over to others?" Chi Li on the side asked in confusion.

“This involves the issue of historical legacy. The current Tuozhou was actually developed by the two sects and one city working together.

Luoxia City later monopolized Tuozhou, but most of Tuozhou's resources became the rewards for the two sects' actions.

If you want to take it back, you naturally have to exchange it for land, and correspondingly, Luoxia City can also obtain some resources as compensation."

"So that's how it is." Chi Li nodded, a thoughtful look on his face.
