Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

During the following period of time, the two of them kept exchanging their experiences in cultivation, the most important of which was the part about the memory of Jade Shu Zhenjun, with each of them focusing on different aspects.

Song Changsheng majored in the way of swordsmanship and the way of space, while Zhuang Yuechan minored in the way of life and the way of swordsmanship. She majored in the way of music, but Master Yu Shu was not good at it. Fortunately, she had a master who was extremely talented, so she did not fall behind.

Song Changsheng also had some knowledge of the way of life, and the two could complement each other in this regard. After three months, both of them benefited a lot.

It was not until the date of the Zifu celebration approached that the two walked out of the room with reluctance.

As Mu Guibai's direct disciple, Zhuang Yuechan's Zifu ceremony was naturally of great scale. Almost all the important figures in the Da Qi cultivation world came, and several Jindan Zhenren even sent envoys personally.

However, the gifts sent were not very expensive, because they all knew in their hearts that this Zifu Ceremony was just an appetizer, and there was a more grand ceremony waiting for them later.

"Alas, Junior Sister's Purple Mansion celebration is such an important event, but Senior Brother couldn't even make it back. Has he really been bewitched by that little goblin?" During the banquet, Niu Dazhuang drank a few glasses of spirit wine, and spoke with a strong smell of alcohol, his words full of dissatisfaction.

After so many years of being together as fellow apprentices, this was the first time he felt any resentment towards Yin Shang.

"Brother, please be careful with your words. Our eldest brother has an important responsibility for our sect and is far away in a foreign land. It is normal that he cannot make it back. We should have more understanding for him." Shen Shishi said solemnly.

"Senior sister is right. Senior Brother has sacrificed for the sect, so we should understand him. Besides, no matter what, we should still call her sister-in-law. It is not polite to talk about her behind her back."

Zhuang Yuechan also spoke out to remind them that there were no outsiders here, otherwise if Niu Dazhuang's words fell into the ears of someone with ulterior motives, trouble would probably arise again.

Hearing this, Song Changsheng's heart moved slightly.

Before Zhuang Yuechan went into seclusion, Yin Shang once said that he was going to the Great Chu cultivation world and would not be back in the short term. He did not clearly state the reason at the time, but it was probably related to his marriage partner.

Song Changsheng had never seen Yin Shang's marriage partner in person. He only knew that there was a Jindan cultivator standing behind him, who was one of Luoxia City's external allies.

At that time, everyone including Niu Dazhuang was optimistic about this marriage, but they did not expect that his attitude would change so quickly after the matter was settled.

Although Niu Dazhuang was impatient and often spoke rudely, these were only directed at outsiders. Even if he had some dissatisfaction with Chu Xinrou, he would never call her by such slightly insulting words in public.

Most likely something unknown happened in this process.

However, it was not easy for him to directly inquire about such matters. After all, it was most likely related to some plans for the future of Luoxia City.

Zhuang Yuechan saw what he was thinking, so she explained it briefly through voice transmission.

It turned out that Yin Shang went to the Da Chu cultivation world this time to get married. Logically speaking, since this woman was marrying a man, the wedding should be held in Luoxia City.

As a result, Yin Shang got married quietly in the Da Chu cultivation world without informing any of his brothers and sisters. He just sent back a message afterwards.

Since this incident, Niu Dazhuang has been somewhat dissatisfied.

In the following years, Yin Shang had been staying in the Da Chu cultivation world and had not sent them any news. He had not even asked a single question about such a big thing as the expedition.

This time, Zhuang Yuechan informed him early about the Zifu celebration, but the reply he got was that he couldn't make it back in time.

The eldest senior brother of Luoxia City, who used to be a good musician, has become a "son-in-law who lives with the family". He is indifferent to his master and doesn't care about him. Naturally, Niu Dazhuang is dissatisfied with his attitude.

But he respected Yin Shang in his heart. He didn't believe from the bottom of his heart that Yin Shang would become like this, so he naturally blamed everything on Chu Xinrou, thinking that she had confused Yin Shang, which led to today's scene.

The spirit wine is not intoxicating, Niu Dazhuang was just taking the opportunity to vent his emotions.

"Even if it's a marriage alliance, there's no need to go this far, right?" Song Changsheng frowned slightly.

It is true that this is a marriage of convenience, but the other party is just a casual cultivator. No matter how you look at it, Luoxia City is the more powerful party. Moreover, Yin Shang is one of the main heirs of Luoxia City in the future. Even if it is for the purpose of winning over allies, you can't let the future city lord become someone else's "son-in-law", right?

Zhuang Yuechan shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know the specific reason, and my master and uncles didn't respond directly.

But I am sure that everything the elder brother did was for the sake of the sect, and was not influenced by personal emotions. He must have made great sacrifices. We can't help him, all we can do is understand and support him. "

As she spoke, she cast her eyes towards Niu Dazhuang who was holding the jar of wine and guzzling it, and said, "Second Senior Brother also believes in Senior Senior Brother, but he has some doubts in his heart and can't get over it for a while."

At this time, Song Changsheng recalled the words Yin Shang said to him before he left, and felt that there was a different meaning in them.

It turns out that everything has a trace.

Song Changsheng had a very good impression of his senior brother Yin Shang. He inherited almost all of Mu Guibai's advantages. He was not only a qualified disciple, but also a qualified senior brother.

He believed that the music business must have its own reasons for doing so...

After the Zifu celebration ended, Song Xianming rushed over from Qixia County specially, and Xia Yunxue also rarely walked out of the wine-making workshop and came to Luoxia City in person.

As the two closest elders to Song Changsheng while he was still alive, they came here for no other reason than to discuss the marriage between Song Changsheng and Zhuang Yuechan.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss. After all, it has been decided long ago. This trip is just to go through the process and show the Song family's attention to this matter.

The main thing is for the elders of both sides to meet, choose an auspicious day, and negotiate some details.

After a hundred years, Song Xianming couldn't help feeling a little sad when he stepped into Luoxia City and Tianyin Mountain again. He thought that he would never be able to set foot here again in his lifetime.

It can only be said that fate is a fickle thing. What he failed to do at the beginning was accomplished by his grandson.

The Luoxia City side also attached great importance to their arrival. Except for Zhan Tianxia who was in seclusion to break through the Jindan stage, Mu Guibai, Shen Qingxiu, Bai Zhengchun and others were present.

The two parties were talking in the hall, but there was nothing to do with the two parties involved.

A whole day and night passed, and no one knew what they had discussed. After Song Xianming walked out of the hall, he looked at the mountains in the distance for a long time.

"Mother?" Song Changsheng cast a questioning look.

Xia Yunxue sighed softly and said, "It's just some past events. It has nothing to do with you."

After saying this, she looked at Zhuang Yuechan who was standing beside her, and said with a smile in her eyes, "Look, what a beautiful person! The fact that our two families can be married is truly a blessing from our previous life."

Zhuang Yuechan's pretty face turned slightly red, and she quickly knelt down and saluted, saying, "Yuechan greets aunt." "It's not the first time we meet, why be so formal." Xia Yunxue quickly reached out to help her up, then took off an antique jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on her very naturally.

After taking a closer look, he said with satisfaction: "It fits just right."

She took Zhuang Yuechan's hand, avoided Song Changsheng and walked aside, saying: "Although this bracelet is ordinary, it has been passed down for several generations since the establishment of the Song family. It represents my heart, so please don't despise it."

It is not an exaggeration to say that this jade bracelet is a family heirloom of Song Changsheng's lineage. It has been passed down from generation to generation. Its value is not high, but it has great significance. It represents the Song family's recognition of Zhuang Yuechan.

The two of them were talking in a whisper, ignoring Song Changsheng. No one knew what they were talking about, but the blush on Zhuang Yuechan's face became more and more obvious...

"Your wedding date is set for the eighth day of the eighth month three years from now. It's an auspicious date calculated by a specialist in Luoxia City. Time is a bit tight, so you have to make preparations early after you return." On the way back, Xia Yunxue mentioned their wedding date.

Three years may seem like a long time, but that is only for mortals. As a disciple of Jindan Zhenren and a Purple Mansion cultivator herself, Zhuang Yuechan, from a conventional perspective, was completely "marrying down". On the contrary, Song was "climbing up the branch".

Therefore, the Song family must show their attitude. The more betrothal gifts the better, and the wedding cannot be frugal. The more grand the better. No room for compromise.

The three years of preparation time is indeed a bit tight, and the entire clan must be mobilized.

Song Changsheng has been a bachelor in two lifetimes and has only a vague understanding of this aspect, but he also knows that marriages between major forces are extremely complicated and require a lot of pomp.

Take the betrothal gift as an example. There are at least 108 instruments needed, and each one has to have special meaning, such as a gilded comb, a jade ruyi, a glass mirror, a dudou, etc. Jade articles, cloth, spiritual fruits, spiritual wine, and live animals are also indispensable.

Not to mention spirit stones, which would cost at least hundreds of thousands.

"The betrothal gift needs to be at least a fourth-tier magical weapon to make it look serious. After we go back, we have to find a fourth-tier weapon-making master to make one for us." Xia Yunxue said naggingly.

Hearing this, Song Changsheng's heart moved slightly and said, "Let me take care of this matter?"

"Are you planning to make it yourself?" Xia Yunxue knew her son best, and she saw through his plan at a glance.

Song Changsheng nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I am only a step away from becoming a fourth-level weapon refiner. This time, maybe I can use this incident to overcome that hurdle."

"That's good. If you make it yourself, it can better show your sincerity. But three years is not enough. Don't miss it." Xia Yunxue said hesitantly.

"Don't you understand me? This is a matter of life and death. How can I joke about it?"

Xia Yunxue shook her head and said, "How could I not believe you? I just feel that time is too tight and I am afraid that you will be under too much pressure."

"Pressure is the motivation to make progress. This matter is decided." Song Changsheng made the final decision.

Refining magic weapons was just a spur of the moment idea of ​​Song Changsheng, but as Xia Yunxue said, it would be more meaningful to refine them by himself. If time was not so tight, he would like to refine all 108 magic weapons by himself.

The magic weapon he chose was a jade hairpin, which had a simple structure but was very difficult to refine, and he was a perfectionist in this regard. One could already imagine how he would spend the past three years...

Just when Song Changsheng was in seclusion refining magic tools, invitations from Luoxia City and the Song family were sent to various places, causing quite a stir in all directions.

The situation in the Da Qi cultivation world is not so bad. After all, this sign has already appeared a long time ago, but it has only been confirmed now. People don’t think it is a big deal, but just secretly sigh at the good luck of the Song family.

Through this marriage, the relationship between the Song family and Luoxia City will inevitably deepen further, forming the most solid alliance.

One side is the Jindan force that has emerged in recent years, and the other side is the Zifu force that has risen rapidly in the past hundred years and has the hope of going further in the future. Both of them have huge potential, and they can join forces to dominate the southwest.

Everyone was watching the reactions of the two sects, especially the Jinwu Sect.

After all, the fall of Jin Yang Zhenren had a huge impact on the Jin Wu Sect. With its power greatly declined today, it is no longer possible for the Jin Wu Sect to form a stable suppression on this emerging alliance.

This will greatly shake the status of the Jinwu Sect and even threaten their base.

They believed that the Jinwu Sect would definitely take necessary measures to prevent or deal with this marriage.

But unfortunately, from beginning to end, the Jinwu Sect and the Tianmai Sect did not react at all, as if they had directly acquiesced to everything happening.

This has caused many people with ulterior motives to feel extremely disappointed.

Among them is the Tianjian Sect. If we were to say who most does not want the Song family's power to continue to expand, the Tianjian Sect would definitely be ranked first. The rise of the Song family makes them feel like a thorn in their side.

But now that the Song family has become powerful, they can only watch helplessly...

“Master, why did the Jinwu Sect turn a blind eye to the marriage between the two families this time? This is not like their style.” Yu Dongyang looked at Lingmou, his eyes full of confusion.

Ling Mou did not answer directly, but asked in return: "In a short period of time, what is the most stable power structure in a region?"

Yu Dongyang thought for a while, and then an idea suddenly occurred to him: "Either one company dominates, or three companies dominate!"

"That's right." Lingmou nodded, slowly stood up and said: "The current situation is turbulent, and all major forces are striving for stability. Unless it is necessary, no one wants to start a war.

In the past, the Jinwu Sect relied on Su Ding's power to suppress the Tianmai Sect and Luoxia City, causing Da Qi to fall into internal strife and restrict its development.

This is extremely disadvantageous in the current situation.

Everyone is aware of this, but no one can change it because conflict is inevitable due to the inequality of strength.

But now it is different. After Su Ding's death, the Jinwu Sect and the Tianmai Sect are roughly on the same level. Luoxia City has also formed a stable offensive and defensive alliance through marriage, which has greatly narrowed the gap between the two sects and put the three on the same level.

As long as this balance is not broken, there will be no major turmoil in the situation of Da Qi in the short term. This is what everyone wants to see, including the Jinwu Sect. "

"But it doesn't include us..." Yu Dongyang said in a low voice.

There was a hint of approval in Lingmou's eyes. He looked up into the distance and said leisurely, "So, we need to start from another direction now..."
