Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"Greetings to my uncle."

"Has the challenge come to fruition?" Inside the retreat room, Song Changsheng slowly opened his eyes.

In front of him was the [Bai Sha Qiong Qiong Cauldron], and underneath the cauldron was a blazing [Golden Wire Carbon], the surface of which was covered with a layer of unique colorful colors.

[Earth Vein Refined Gold] has been completely liquefied, and it is the critical moment for shaping, but Song Changsheng is not affected at all. He continues to add various spiritual material powders while responding to Song Qingxi with a distracted mind.

It has been more than three months since Song Qingxi last reported to him, and he estimated that there should be a result by now.

"That's right, Jingrun has already reached an agreement with them.

The battle was scheduled for eight years later at the Tianzi Trial Field of Wanxiang Palace. The elder of Wanxiang Palace, Hua Ming Zhenren, would be the witness. It was divided into three rounds: Jindan, Zifu and Foundation Establishment. The one who took down two cities first would be the winner.

In terms of the prize, in addition to Song Xiangjie's disposal rights, there are also 500 high-quality spirit stones, an island with an area of ​​no less than ten thousand hectares and a deep-sea port. Although the spirit vein is only at the second level, it is located at the border and has a broad space for development.

There is also a shellfish farm attached.

In addition, there are 5,000 mu of [Fire Cloud Mulberry] annual output, five pairs of [Red-bellied Unicorn Silkworm], and four ocean warships. "

Originally, it was not so generous, but Song Jingrun lowered the requirements of the island side, which made the [Jinxiu Banner]'s ability to bear it increase suddenly, and finally such a bet agreement was reached.

For the Song family, the difference between a third-level spiritual vein and a second-level spiritual vein is actually not that big. They only need to open a breakthrough in the East China Sea, and the location of the island chosen by Song Jingrun is very tricky.

It would not infringe upon the core interests of the Jinxiu Banner, and its value was far lower than the island that Song Qingxi originally reported, which could reduce their resistance and the deal was negotiated very smoothly.

They also took over a shell farm and two warships, and increased the amount of spirit stones. Originally, the [Jinxiu Banner] only planned to offer 300 high-quality spirit stones and two warships.

Compared to an insignificant third-level spiritual vein, these things are of much greater benefit to the Song family.

It’s a pity that the other party refused to give up on the top-grade spirit stones. It is estimated that they have discovered the Song family’s manufacturing capacity of the sky ship and want to impose restrictions.

But this is already rich enough.

Song Changsheng nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's much better than I expected. Did Song Wuji make any other requests?"

Based on his understanding of Song Wuji, he shouldn't be so easy to talk to.

"Uncle is wise. Song Wuji does have an additional condition. He wants the loser to pay tribute to the winner and also to send a hostage."

Song Changsheng was immediately amused when he heard this: "Haha, if they lose, won't they go from a big clan to a small clan?
It seems that Song Wuji feels that he has a sure win.

Who do they want as hostage, Qing Xing?"

"good."

"Okay, promise him.

Didn't he want a hostage? If the family fails, I will personally serve them as a hostage and serve them for two hundred years." Song Changsheng agreed without hesitation and raised the stakes.

In comparison, they also got the advantage of this clause. Since Song Wuji dared to play with it, there was naturally no reason for Song Changsheng to admit defeat.

When the big clan becomes a small clan, he wants to see how Song Wuji will end it.

"As ordered."

"Jingrun did a good job this time. The foundation-building issue can be put on the agenda."

“The Elders’ Council has already discussed this matter internally.

Regarding the scheduled battle, the candidates for the Jindan and Zifu fields have now been determined, but there is no candidate for the foundation-building field yet. In order to ensure that everything goes well, the Elder Council intends to let Youlin come out of seclusion early to prepare for the battle.

But I think this is appropriate, so I want to ask your opinion. ”

Song Changsheng frowned slightly. There was a very realistic problem that needed to be faced. In terms of size and talent, the gap between the Song family and the Jinxiu Banner was still very obvious.

They have too few cards to play with.

In this Foundation Establishment Stage match, it is the safest choice to let Song Youlin fight, but there is no guarantee of victory. If someone else is replaced, the chance of winning will be even lower.

However, now is the critical period for Song Youlin to retreat and break through the Purple Mansion. If he goes into battle, it will take at least ten years.

Moreover, this battle is a life-and-death one. If something goes wrong, the losses will be too great.

After thinking about it, Song Changsheng finally rejected the proposal.

In general, the victory or defeat in this foundation-building battle actually has little impact on the final result. It mainly depends on how he and Song Qingxing perform in the battle.

You know, this duel is a life-and-death battle with low restrictions. If either of them loses, they will still be defeated even if they win in the foundation-building field.

Therefore, there is no need to invest too much energy in this, and delaying Song Youlin would be counterproductive.

In terms of the selection of candidates for the battle, combat capability is only secondary. The ability to protect oneself must be outstanding. Being able to escape unscathed is the greatest contribution. Winning or not does not matter.

"Uncle and I think the same thing. I think so too."

"In that case, who else in the family do you think can take on this important task besides Youlin?"

"What do you think of Youfu?" Song Qingxi asked tentatively.

"Youfu? He's not bad, but he's still a little lacking in cultivation. It's time to put some pressure on him." Song Changsheng nodded.

Song Youfu's talent is actually not bad, and his luck is ridiculously deep. After all these years of experience, he has received a lot of rewards and opportunities, and has never been short of resources.

But he was still too lazy in his cultivation and couldn't bear to be ruthless to himself, which resulted in his cultivation speed never being able to improve.

I hope I can use this incident to put him under pressure and not let him continue to behave like this.

Song Qingxi couldn't help but laugh and said, "I thought so too. It just so happens that Qingyu has recently refined a batch of [Shenglong Pills]. If we force him, it shouldn't be a problem for him to break through to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment before the duel."

"Speaking of which, how do Wu Jie and Qing Yu get along?"

Since the last conversation with Wu Jie, Song Changsheng first let his soul incarnation meet him and had an in-depth exchange on the soul. Finally, he came to the conclusion that this Lao Deng is indeed a real talent.

With the determination to squeeze out all he had, Song Changsheng instructed Zhuang Yuechan to gather all the cultivators in the clan who were talented in alchemy and throw them all to Wu Jie.

"Wu Jie is worthy of the title of a fourth-class top-grade alchemy master. Qingyu and the others have made great progress during this period. It's just that there are too many people, and he can't handle it all by himself." "That can't be helped. There is no one in the family who can share the burden with him now. Those who are capable should do more work."

For the Song family, alchemy has always been a situation where they are neither better than the best nor worse than the worst. Song Qingyu, who has the highest attainments, is only at the upper second level, and is almost like an elementary school student in front of him. As for teaching, he can only bear the hardship for the time being.

"It's still a little inconvenient to act without a physical body. I have ordered people to search for spiritual materials to rebuild a physical body. Let's see if we can rebuild a physical body for him first and free him from the constraints of the spiritual treasure."

Song Changsheng shook his head slightly and said: "The spiritual materials for rebuilding the body are not so easy to find, and they are even rarer inland. If we can take over the island in the East China Sea, the chances will be a little higher.

Yun He obtained the [Hundred Treasures Body Shaping Pill] by chance.

Come to think of it, Yunhe should be coming out soon."

"Not yet, but I think it will be soon."

Reshaping the body would only be painful in the process, but without being disturbed by the outside world, the chance of failure would be extremely low, so Song Changsheng was not too worried.

The situations of Wu Jie and Xu Yunhe are somewhat different.

Xu Yunhe was reshaped on the original basis, while Wu Jie was created out of nothing. The difficulty was not on the same level, and [Hundred Treasures Body Reshaping Pill] was still ineffective against him.

However, Wu Jie's ability is worth the Song family's efforts for him.

As he was speaking, the shaping of [Earth Vein Refined Gold] had reached the final step. Under Song Changsheng's careful manipulation, the metal liquid that had been infused with a variety of spiritual materials slowly flew out from the [Bai Sha Qiongqi Cauldron] and gradually formed the prototype of a three-foot sword in the air.

This sword was forged by Song Changsheng based on the appearance of the Human King Sword [Chengyuan], and a trace of the power of the Yin and Yang Law was incorporated into it. It is more suitable for him than [Ding Jiangshan] and can maximize his sword skills.

The reason for refining this magic sword first is to prepare for the subsequent battle. After all, Song Tianyuan is a veteran Jindan Zhenren, so he must face the battle in his full strength and cannot be careless.

Next, he would refine another space magic weapon to give Song Tianyuan a surprise during the battle...

"Me? Oh my god, this is not right. I don't have the qualifications."

When Song Youfu saw the task scroll brought over by the steward of the General Affairs Hall, he almost jumped up with excitement. He never thought that such a thing as a duel would fall upon him.

He is just a small cultivator in the late foundation building stage.

Song Jingyuan said seriously: "This is the common intention of the Elders Council and the clan leader. There are still eight years to the agreed time. I hope that uncle can practice hard and bring honor to the family.

During this period, the family will do its best to support my uncle.

The elder said that no matter whether the clan uncle has a breakthrough or not, you will be the one to fight. "

Song Youfu was petrified when he heard this. How could he still rely on this?
Seeing Song Jingyuan about to leave, he quickly stepped forward to stop him and said, "No, I think this matter really needs to be planned carefully. A battle is so important that it can't be treated lightly."

Song Jingyuan was getting a little impatient with his nagging, and he couldn't help but stop and looked at Song Youfu seriously, saying, "Uncle, since you said that, I have no choice but to offend you.

Precisely because the matter is of great importance, the Council of Elders chose my uncle out of trust. My uncle should have strived to be the first and fight for honor for the family in the trial field. Why is he hesitating?
It’s a pity that my cultivation is not good enough, otherwise I would never let my uncle take the lead.”

After saying that, Song Jingyuan bowed and strode away, leaving Song Youfu alone in the wind.

It took him a while to realize that he was being taught a lesson by a junior.

Wiping the non-existent saliva off his face, Song Youfu felt a little melancholy for a moment. He was assigned such a difficult task and he had no choice but to work hard.

"Oh, what a sin! Why didn't I think of seclusion? I was careless and brought disaster to Xiao Linzi again."

When writing this mission scroll, Song Qingxi deliberately kept a watchful eye and asked Song Youfu to go all out and win the battle in order to increase the family's tolerance for mistakes, which directly put maximum pressure on him.

This is to prevent Song Youfu from giving up after learning that he can get away with this battle.

Song Qingxi had a firm grasp on his psychology.

The effect was just as she thought. With the pressure of the mission, Song Youfu became more diligent in his practice. He worked very hard and was so energetic that it was frightening to see him...

Time flies, and eight years passed in a flash.

Song Changsheng came out of seclusion four months in advance of the scheduled battle date.

During this period, he upgraded the [Yin Yang Soul-Slaying Gourd] to the level of a lower-grade spiritual treasure. In addition, he also refined three magical instruments, one of which was a spiritual sword for his own use, which he named [Peace in the Four Seas].

There is also a [Void Bell] which is made of [Void Crystal] as the main material. What makes this treasure different from other magic weapons is that it can ignore the barriers of space and has both offense and defense. It can give Song Tianyuan a surprise when the time comes.

In addition, there is also the [Xuanjin Battle Armor] made of [Xuanshu Mother Gold]. This is prepared for Song Qingxing. It is easy to break. Song Qingxing has always been an attacker and not a defender. Although he has never failed, it is still not safe after all.

This time the challenge is a life-and-death battle. The [Jinxiu Banner] is so eager, they must have prepared some means. It is better to be safe. With this armor, at least it can protect his life.

In order to prevent possible restrictions, he also deliberately controlled its grade to the third-grade top grade.

The remaining [Divine Bird Skyfire Fan] will have to wait until the future as there is not enough time.

The reason why he came out of seclusion so long in advance was because there was a very important thing happening today, which was the family's annual "Ascension Conference".

Excluding the time spent sleeping, Xu Miaoyin is exactly eight years old this year. Logically, she should also participate in this "Ascension Conference".

After all, she is his goddaughter and disciple. He didn't have time to spend time with her before. At this important moment in her life, he must be by her side.

Song Changsheng was still very much looking forward to Xu Miaoyin's spiritual roots.

Xu Yunhe is a Purple Mansion cultivator, and Xia Wanyun is suspected to be a "person favored by heaven". Both of them are aces alone, and when combined, they are the king of kings.

In addition, with the gifts from him and his soul clone, no matter how bad his talent is, it can't be that bad. Even if he doesn't have a natural spiritual root like Song Youlin, it shouldn't be too far behind.

As Song Changsheng opened and closed his eyes, the yin and yang energies circulated, and in an instant he had arrived outside the General Affairs Hall.

Nowadays, the spirit-testing ceremony within the Song clan is held in the General Affairs Hall. A long queue forms as soon as the day dawns.

Xiao Miaoyin, accompanied by Xia Wanyun and Xu Yunhe, stood in the middle of the team.

In eight years, the baby in the cradle has grown up, vaguely taking on some of his mother's charm, with a pair of eyes that are particularly bright and lively...
