Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Among the four border realms, the territory of Lu's cultivation world is the smallest, and it is also recognized as a country forgotten by the righteous path. Its bottom line is very flexible, and it can switch back and forth between the righteous path and the evil path at any time.

Even in such a place famous for its chaos, the evil forces like the Blood Demon Cult are also like rats crossing the street and everyone wants to kill them.

In this world, if you want to grow and develop, population is a necessary factor. However, in the eyes of most demonic monks, population is a consumable material for improving strength, which only consumes but does not produce. Even evil monks hate these people.

Once any signs are discovered, they will be struck with lightning speed.

Therefore, after Hunsha decided to shift the focus of development to the cultivation world of Lu State, it was not smooth at the beginning, and even aroused the vigilance of Luosha Hall, one of the two golden elixir overlords of Lu State.

It was obviously not a wise choice to run into a Jindan overlord when he first arrived, so Hunsha set his sights on the vast bone-eroding Gobi Desert.

The Gobi Desert is desolate, with terrible bone-eroding winds blowing from time to time. Everyone must live in caves, and resources are scarce. It is a place that the Rakshasa Hall usually doesn't even bother to look at. It is also close to the abyss, and is simply a habitat tailor-made for the Blood Demon Cult.

They used their secret techniques to effortlessly control the Bone-Eroding Gobi's ruler, the Bone-Picking Sect. A small sect with only one Purple Mansion monk had no ability to resist in their hands.

With the help of the Bone-Erosion Sect, things will be much easier later on.

With the support of the Blood Demon Cult, the Bone Erosion Sect directly attacked and destroyed all the small forces in the Bone Erosion Gobi and abducted all the people.

These people have not appeared since they entered the Bone Erosion Sect's crypt. During that period, the sky above the Bone Erosion Sect was shrouded in a layer of faint blood mist all day long, and the Bone Erosion Wind blowing from above carried a hint of blood.

After nearly twenty years of development, the power of the Bone Erosion Sect has expanded several times, and its tentacles have begun to extend beyond the Bone Erosion Gobi.

At the same time, the Zhengqi Sect, supported by the Haoran Alliance, is also rapidly rising in the northern part of Lu's cultivation world. Its expansion speed is several times that of the Shigu Sect, and it has begun to affect the interests of another Jindan overlord, the Five Poison Sect.

Compared to the wildly expanding Zhengqi Sect, the Shigu Sect seems to be relatively restrained. They don't have the support of Jindan monks at the moment and don't have the capital to clash with the Luosha Hall.

Therefore, they set their main target on the abyss, and the first thing they did after arriving at the Lu State's cultivation world was to send people into the abyss to explore.

There are too many legends about the abyss. Some people are in awe, some are curious, and every year people try to explore that forbidden area, but unfortunately few can come out alive.

Even the people of the Blood Demon Cult were a little scared of this notorious abyss. After all, the mortality rate was very real, and it was not enough to describe it as a life-and-death situation.

Even the once prosperous royal family of Lu declined because of it.

They joined the evil path not to die, and the elders and protectors pushed and shoved each other, and no one dared to go there on their own initiative.

In the end, it was Mie, who was about to die, who took the initiative to lead the team. However, they never returned. Less than three years after entering the abyss, the soul lamps of all the team members were extinguished.

A cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of Purple Mansion could not even survive three years. The horror of the abyss was suffocating.

It was normal for them to have such a result. Back then, Song Qingxing relied on the map in his hand to avoid almost all medium and high-risk areas and survived a life-and-death experience before coming out alive. If they rushed in so recklessly, it would only be a matter of time before their entire army was wiped out.

Of course, they couldn't do what the royal family of Lu had never done before.

With the previous experience of Mie in mind, Hunsha did not dare to send people there rashly again. After all, the Purple Mansion cultivators were not cabbages and could not be thrown into this bottomless pit for nothing.

Twenty years later, the Blood Demon Cult, which had fully recovered, finally sent people to conduct a second exploration.

I just don't know what will be waiting for them this time...

"I met the elder."

"Meet the elder."

On the Cangmang Peak, the Song family monks all saluted Song Qingxing.

Song Qingxing also nodded in response one by one. Seeing this scene, everyone seemed to be at a loss. Some even suspected that the person in front of them was someone else in disguise.

After all, when they saluted in the past, Song Qingxing never responded to them, and they had gotten used to it over the years. But recently, he responded almost every time, and sometimes he would even smile weirdly. The scene was extremely creepy.

"Did you see that? Elder Qing Xing seemed to smile at me just now."

After Song Qingxing walked away, a Song family cultivator shook the arm of his companion and said in disbelief. His face did not show excitement, but a hint of fear.

The companion swallowed and said, "This... must be our illusion. When has the elder ever laughed? It must be an illusion."

"Maybe I've been practicing for too long and I'm hallucinating. Let's go, let's go back and meditate to adjust."

After saying that, the two of them fled away. A smile could achieve such an effect. Looking at the entire Song family, there was probably no one else who could do it.

Song Qingxing was not good at communicating with others and always appeared indifferent. Also, because he once served as a punishment elder, his majestic and cold image had been deeply rooted in people's hearts. In their eyes, Song Qingxing's image was definitely not good.

The contrast between such a person suddenly becoming calm is indeed a bit scary, and it is no wonder that everyone's reactions are so exaggerated.

The two men thought they were talking in secret, but how could they hide it from Song Qingxing's ears? He heard everything they said clearly.

He has heard a lot of similar words in the past few days, but he doesn't care about it at all, and he doesn't want to change it because he is in a really good mood.

After Song Qingxi broke through the Purple Mansion Stage, they finally took the last step and became husband and wife, finally swallowing decades of bitter tears.

Quickly returning to his own courtyard, Song Qingxing found Song Qingxi packing his luggage.

"Madam, what is this?"

"You're back. My great-aunt came here just now and said that Elder Yuan's bottleneck has been loosened and he applied to return to the clan to break through.

My great aunt wants you to go to Qinghefang City to replace Elder Yuan for a while. I have already agreed to it for you. Look, I am packing your luggage." Song Qingxi said without turning his head.

"I see." Song Qingxing nodded slightly. He had been idle for a long time and had no objection to this.

I am just a little reluctant to leave. After all, our happy life has just got on track, and now is the time when everything is going well. It will take at least a few years for me to come back.

But he soon discovered that Song Qingxi was also packing her luggage, and he couldn't help but asked happily: "Are you going too?"

Song Qingxi couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and said, "That's a nice thought. The family is short of people in many places. I'll ask my great-aunt to go to Five Elements Peak to replace my great-grandfather. Since my uncle is not here, he still has to come back to take charge of the family."

Hearing this, Song Qingxing felt a little disappointed.

"You are such a blockhead." Seeing that he didn't understand her painstaking efforts, Song Qingxi felt like she was flirting with a blind man, and she was a little sulky for a while. Fortunately, Song Qingxing's emotional intelligence has improved a lot compared to before, and he soon understood that Song Qingxi took the initiative to apply to guard the Five Elements Peak in order to be closer to him, and he couldn't help but excitedly picked her up and spun her around several times.

It was the first time for them to experience sex, and it was the time when they were getting to know each other. This hug was like a thunderbolt that stirred up a fire in the sky. Soon, a sound that was enough to make people blush could be heard in the room...

After a night of lovemaking, when the two packed their bags and prepared to take up their posts, they received an urgent message from Song Luyun.

The two looked at each other and immediately rushed to the General Affairs Hall as quickly as possible.

Seeing them, Song Luyun didn't waste any words and said solemnly: "Just now, the Qinghe County Garrison sent back news that a large-scale landslide suddenly occurred in the wild forest three thousand miles away from Lingyue Peak, with a diameter of several hundred feet.

There happened to be a vein of black iron ore being mined nearby, and many miners were buried after the landslide. Just as the stationed monks were trying to rescue them, a group of pitch-black beetles suddenly emerged from the pit where the landslide occurred. There were a large number of them and they were very aggressive.

The garrisoned monks were unable to resist and asked for help from Qinghe Market.

After Elder Yuan arrived and killed the beetles, he was worried about leaving behind trouble, so he went deep into the pit to find out what was going on. As a result, he lost contact and was most likely attacked.

The Grand Elder has already rushed over, but the enemy's strength is unknown. I am worried that the Grand Elder cannot handle it alone, so I hope you can go and support him as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Song Qingxi and the others immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

Yuan Tianshu was only half a step away from the late Purple Mansion stage, and could have dealt with a Purple Mansion Great Perfection cultivator. However, he ended up losing contact with him directly, which was really weird.

Considering the strange sinkhole, the enemy might not be just those bugs.

"We'll be there right away."

The couple took the space magic circle to Qinghefang City, and under the guidance of the deacon, they arrived at the scene of the incident and met up with Song Xianming who had arrived before them.

When they arrived, they found that the pit was still collapsing rapidly, and the surrounding area was covered with a thick layer of beetle corpses.

After the two greeted Song Xianming, Song Xianming took out a palm-sized black beetle and handed it to them, saying, "Do you recognize this thing?"

Song Qingxi looked at it carefully and found that this thing was somewhat strange. It was not flesh and blood. Its density was extremely high, somewhat similar to fine iron, a type they had never seen before.

"This is a [Metal Devourer], which feeds on metals and is usually only found in large metal veins. However, its size is definitely not this big, and its number is not that large.

What we have in front of us should only be a very small part. There are much more inside the pit. I am afraid that Brother Yuan is in some trouble. We must act as soon as possible.

Spiritual fire is the nemesis of this insect. Has Qingxi practiced the [Purple Void Divine Fire]?"

"Practicing." Song Qingxi nodded.

"Okay, then I and Qing Xing will go down, and you will meet us up there, and help them rescue the buried miners."

"Grandson understands. You should be more careful."

Song Xianming and Song Qingxing went deep into the pit, and a huge corridor appeared in front of them, with a lot of [Gold-Eating Bugs] remaining in it.

They used the [Purple Void Divine Fire] to push forward, and gradually, some ores were exposed.

Song Xianming stretched out his hand and broke off a piece, with a look of "as expected" on his face: "It's the Titanium Mine, and it looks like a rich mine. If that's the case, then it's correct. We need to move faster."

To the two's surprise, this corridor was extremely long, leading all the way deep underground. With a depth of thousands of feet, it was no wonder that this rare third-level [titanium ore vein] had never been discovered.

"Wait." Song Xianming suddenly stopped and picked up a purple crystal the size of a fingernail from the scattered soil.

"It's amethyst." A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Song Xianming's eyes. Although [Amethyst] is a third-level spiritual material, its uses are extremely narrow and its value is far less than the [Titanium] he had seen before.

The reason why Song Xianming was surprised was that there was a certain probability that a kind of chalcedony would be born in the core of the [Amethyst Mine]. This kind of chalcedony was the [Amethyst Jadeite] that could assist the foundation-building cultivators to break through the Purple Mansion period, and its value was inestimable.

The deeper they went, the more corpses of [Gold-Eating Bugs] there were on the ground. Needless to say, it was definitely the work of Yuan Tianshu, and it seemed that he was still going deeper.

"Boom"

Suddenly, the corridor began to vibrate violently, and the two felt a strong wave of battle.

"It's Fellow Daoist Yuan."

The two of them immediately sped up and soon entered a huge amethyst mine cave. Looking around, they saw protruding purple crystal clusters in all directions.

The terrifyingly numerous [Gold-Eating Bugs] completely blocked their vision and packed the mine so tightly that they could only sense the fluctuations of Yuan Tianshu's magic power.

Judging from the piles of corpses on the ground, Yuan Tianshu has been fighting here for a long time. No wonder the cultivators outside cannot contact him.

"Friend Yuan, hold on for a moment. We will come to help you."

The two of them worked together to cast the [Purple Void Divine Fire], and the ferocious flames crashed into the group of [Gold-Eating Bugs], and countless [Gold-Eating Bugs] were vaporized in an instant.

"Hahaha, you two fellow Taoists have arrived at the right time. These bugs are really troublesome." Yuan Tianshu laughed heartily, his voice a little weak. After fighting for an hour, he was almost reaching his limit.

With the joint efforts of the three, after half an hour of hard fighting, they finally strangled most of the raging [Gold-Eating Bugs] group.

"If the two Taoist friends had not arrived in time, I would have been eaten up." Yuan Tianshu let out a long sigh and sat down on the ground. His body was covered with dense bite marks and there was hardly any good meat on his body.

If he had known in advance that there were so many strange insects in here, he would never have rashly gone deeper. This time it really taught him a lesson.

"I will help you heal your wounds first." Song Xianming treated Yuan Tianshu's wounds, while Song Qingxing went to explore the reserves of the [Amethyst Ore Vein] in this area.

The larger the mineral vein, the higher the possibility of producing [Amethyst Chalcedony].

It depends on whether this [titanium vein] outside is the main vein or a associated vein.

If it is a companion mineral vein, then the scale of this [Amethyst Mineral Vein] will be unimaginable...
