Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"His name is Song Xiao. He has a seven-inch thunder spirit root and comes from the mortal world. I brought you here so that you can get to know each other. You have similar talents and are of the same age, so I'm sure you will have a lot in common."

Xu Miaoyin couldn't help but pout when she heard this and said, "We are not the same age, he is just bigger than me."

Song Changsheng smiled casually. It was true. Xu Miaoyin's body had not grown up yet. His mental level was indeed not comparable to his peers. However, based on Song Xiao's past experience, he could not be treated as an ordinary child.

"We can be friends even if we are not of the same age. We should make more friends while we are alive. Let's go in and take a look."

As the group walked into the Cloud Palace, Song Xiao's ears twitched slightly and he became subconsciously alert. He reached for his waist and saw Song Qinglan leading the way in front. Then he remembered that he was not in the mountains now and he quickly relaxed.

However, Song Changsheng saw all his actions.

Song Qinglian quickly winked at Song Xiao, asking him to come forward and greet him, but he didn't know whether Song Xiao didn't understand what he meant, because he also blinked at him.

With his face full of fat and scars, he really doesn't look cute at all.

For a moment, Song Qinglian couldn't help but have the urge to hold her forehead. Seeing the other party's size, she always subconsciously treated him as an adult, but ignored the fact that he was only eight years old and could not understand all these twists and turns.

He said directly, "This is the clan leader and the general affairs elder. Why don't you come and greet them?"

Song Xiao suddenly realized. He didn't know what the mundane affairs were, but he knew that the elders and the clan leaders were definitely big shots, and the mayor had to treat them with extreme respect when he met them.

"Song Xiao pays respects to the clan leader and the elders." Song Xiao clumsily performed a salute that he didn't know what etiquette was.

"No need to be so polite kid, I just brought you here to meet you, the future star of our family."

Song Changsheng motioned him to relax, looked him up and down, his eyes fell on his waist and smiled: "Is there something on your waist?"

Song Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he reached out and took out a one-foot-long hatchet from his waist. There was still some mottled rust on it. Seeing this, Song Changsheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "You carry this thing with you?"

"I used to go up the mountain to hunt every day. The road on the mountain was difficult to walk on and was blocked by thorns. It was more convenient to carry it with me. Sometimes it might come in handy when I encountered some big guys." Song Xiao scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

He knew it was a little strange to carry a hatchet, but after fighting a porcupine with his bare hands last time, he thought it would be quite useful.

Anyway, he has been criticized for his appearance since he was a child, and he has long been used to it.

"I heard from Qing Lian that you have supernatural powers since you were young and can fight with a porcupine. I have a small object here. If you can pick it up, I will give you a knife used by cultivators. It is better than your hatchet."

Hearing this, Song Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly asked, "Really?"

"Hehe, the clan leader's words are as good as gold. Would he lie to you?" Song Qinglian didn't wink this time and pointed it out directly.

"It's okay." Song Changsheng reached out from his sleeve and took out a one-inch long black metal ingot and handed it over. This was a second-grade [Deep Sea Black Iron], produced under the deep sea thousands of feet deep. The density was very amazing. Just this small piece weighed hundreds of pounds.

Not to mention a child, even an adult would find it difficult to shake it if they tried their best.

Song Xiao didn't know the depth of it, so he took it directly, but his hand just sank down suddenly, but soon stabilized, frowned slightly, and said in a puzzled tone: "Such a big thing, how can it be so heavy, I almost can't hold it."

"This is [Deep Sea Black Iron]. This piece weighs at least three or four hundred kilograms. You can lift it with one hand and you're still not satisfied." Xu Miaoyin couldn't help but mutter.

"Is it used by immortals? No wonder it's so heavy." Song Xiao's face showed a simple and honest look that was totally inconsistent with his appearance.

"If I use this spiritual material to make a knife for you, would you like it?"

"I like it, I like it, thank you, clan leader." Song Xiao agreed without hesitation. The more he looked at the black piece of iron in his hand, the more he liked it. It was not because he knew the value of this piece of [Deep Sea Black Iron], but mainly because he felt the weight was very handy.

He always felt that the bows he used were too light, especially the hunting bow. He was very careful every time he pulled the bow, for fear of breaking it. He had broken one before and was scolded for half an hour.

"Have you tested his spirit and bloodline?" Song Changsheng looked at Song Qinglian. Song Xiao's performance had already exceeded the scope of ordinary people. You know, he is only eight years old now. If he grows up for another ten years and fully releases his potential, the strength of a single arm would probably be no less than a thousand pounds.

It is difficult for the spirit to play a role before entering the Tao, but blood can. Many special bloodlines in history have similar performances.

Song Qinglian nodded and said, "I've tested it, and there's nothing special about it. Maybe it's really a natural talent?"

"That's the only explanation for now." Song Changsheng nodded, then turned his gaze to Song Qingxi and said, "There is another thunder-attributed Dao rhyme atlas in the family treasure house. Take it out for Song Xiao to comprehend someday. I hope it will be of some use to him." (See Chapter 168 of Volume for details)
"I'll save it for later. I also think we can let him have more contact with the [Thunder Spirit]. No one in the clan is more suitable than him to sign a contract with the [Thunder Spirit]."

"Well, what you said makes sense. Let's talk to You Bai about it and try to let Song Xiao and [Lei Ling] have more contact and cultivate their relationship.

When Song Xiao breaks through the foundation-building stage in the future, he can try to conclude a contract with the [Thunder Spirit]. "

"Let Song Xiao be responsible for feeding the Thunder Spirit. He has the root of Thunder Spirit, and there is a natural attraction between the two of us. The chance of success should still be very high."

"You can settle him yourself. First, use the standard of... Purple Mansion Seeds. His information will be kept highly confidential."

The authority and status of the Purple Mansion Seed within the Song family is equivalent to that of a family elder. From a certain perspective, it may even be higher. His own information is highly confidential, and there will be no leakage before the foundation is established, thus ensuring his stable growth to the greatest extent possible.

"By the way, how is Youfu's training going? Have you wasted these years?"

Hearing this, Song Qingxi couldn't help but reveal a charming smile on his face: "Youfu broke through to the great perfection of foundation building five years ago. Since he knew that he would represent the family in the war, he couldn't eat or sleep well. He practiced for at least ten hours every day. It was rare for him to be diligent for a few years.

Even if he loses this time, it is still a victory for the family."

Song Changsheng snorted and said, "If you don't work hard now, you will suffer in the ring. A beating is inevitable. Let him go find Yu Shi and choose a few suitable magic weapons from the family treasury to save his life.

It is expected that this time, the [Jinxiu Banner] should release those hidden talents. Youfu will be under a lot of pressure, and the family still needs to give enough support. "

The Song family has only 4,000 people, but they have hidden more than one genius, not to mention the old Jindan family like the [Jinxiu Banner]. Not to mention the cultivators with natural spiritual roots, there is definitely a lot of cultivators with unusual spiritual roots.

"How is Qing Xing's preparation going?"

Compared with Song Youfu's side, Song Qingxing's side is particularly crucial.

"He had already broken through to the Great Perfection of Purple Mansion three years ago, and is now comprehending the sword on the Moon-Watching Cliff."

"Moon-Watching Cliff?" Song Changsheng understood after a little thought. Song Qingxing was a wind spiritual root and followed the "One Yuan Golden Elixir Path". He needed to collect "Nine Heavens Pure Qi" to assist in his cultivation. The location of Moon-Watching Cliff was the best place on Cangmang Peak to collect pure qi.

It can be seen that Song Qingxing did his best for this competition and did not miss any opportunity to improve his strength. Of course, he did not slack off during this period. In addition to refining magic tools, he would also comprehend the laws and insights left to him by Feng Changqing in his spare time, and his improvement was also significant.

"I will share this good news with Yun He and the others later. We will then prepare to set off for the Daqian cultivation world. You can select a few suitable young people in the clan to go with me.

It's not easy to go to the Vientiane Palace, it's a good opportunity to see the world and broaden my horizons."

"It's a pity that Miaoyin and Song Xiao are going to prepare to enter the Tao next, otherwise I could take them with me. It's a rare opportunity to go to the Yuanying Sect." Song Qingxi said with some regret.

"Don't worry, this is the first time, but it will definitely not be the last. As long as they work hard to grow, there will be similar opportunities in the future."

What Song Changsheng was talking about was naturally something like the Daqian Cultivation World Exchange Meeting, or some celebrations or semi-public trade fairs within the Wanxiang Palace.

They didn't have the qualifications before, but now, with the [Universal Order] in hand, they can participate in activities big and small.

In addition, once the Four Realms Alliance is formed, there will certainly be no shortage of activities such as friendly matches and exchanges, which will provide them with plenty of space to showcase themselves.

After encouraging Song Xiao for a few words, Song Changsheng took Xu Miaoyin back to the courtyard. They had an appointment to have dinner at home today.

In addition to reminiscing about the past, the most important thing is to finalize Xu Miaoyin's apprenticeship. With this identity, she can legitimately accept the support of the Song family.

Xu Yunhe and his wife had arrived a long time ago and were sitting in the courtyard drinking tea with Zhuang Yuechan. Zhu Yiqun was busy in the kitchen, swinging a big black pot so hard that it was smoking.

"Dad, Mom." Xu Miaoyin hurriedly went up to them, snuggled up in Xia Wanyun's arms, and happily shared, "Miaoyin has the spiritual roots of gold, water and earth."

Hearing this, Xu Yunhe and Xia Wanyun looked at each other, both showing a hint of surprise in their eyes: "In front of you?"

"Of course it's true. Miaoyin wouldn't joke about such things. Yunhe, how do you use this new arm?" Song Changsheng asked with a smile on his face.

Xu Yunhe raised his right arm and said happily: "Except for being a little uncomfortable at the beginning, it is much more convenient than before. My right hand can finally hold a sword again. I almost forgot what it felt like.

All this is thanks to you, otherwise I would never have a healthy body."

"Why are you saying all this? Today is a happy day. Let's have a few drinks to celebrate." Song Changsheng reached out and patted Xu Yunhe's right shoulder. Everything was said without words.

"Okay." Xu Yunhe nodded heavily.

At this time, Zhu Yiqun poked his head out from the kitchen and said, "Hey, don't just stand there, come and help."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh...

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, they officially got down to business.

Xu Yunhe took Xu Miaoyin's hand and said solemnly: "You should already know that he is the uncle I often mentioned to you.

From today on, you will worship him as your foster father, see him as you see me, and treat him as your father for the rest of your life. Do you understand?"

Xu Miaoyin was stunned for a moment, then walked to Song Changsheng and Zhuang Yuechan, knelt down obediently, bowed respectfully several times, and said in a crisp voice: "Miaoyin greets adoptive father and adoptive mother."

"No need to be so polite." Zhuang Yuechan reached out and helped her up, then like a magic trick she took out a storage bag and a crystal clear jade bracelet and stuffed them into her hand.

"This is a gift from your parents."

Zhuang Yuechan liked Xu Miaoyin from the bottom of her heart. She had always hoped to have such a daughter, and now her dream had finally come true.

"Thank you, mother." Xu Miaoyin replied sweetly.

She had no objection to taking Song Changsheng and Zhuang Yuechan as her adoptive father and mother. She was originally close to Song Changsheng, and grew up in the love of Zhuang Yuechan, who was the closest elder to her besides her parents.

Even without this bow, she would still respect and love them as she does her parents.

"Fellow Daoist Changshou, please come out."

Song Changsheng summoned out the incarnation of his soul.

Xu Miaoyin showed a hint of surprise at the sudden appearance of Song Changshou, because she looked exactly like Song Changshou.

"This is my spirit incarnation. He will be your master in the future. When I'm not around, you can practice with him. You can treat him as me, or as another trustworthy elder."

Xu Miaoyin suddenly realized and bowed again: "Miaoyin greets Master."

Although they had the same appearance, she knew that they were two completely different people.

"No need to be so polite." Song Changshou stretched out his hand and touched Xu Miaoyin's forehead, and a golden light flashed slightly.

"This item will help you practice in the future. You need to comprehend it carefully after entering the Dao."

"Miaoyin remembers Master's teachings."

Xu Yunhe and his wife looked at this scene, their hearts filled with relief. After these few bows, Xu Miaoyin would have a place to stay in her life.

This made his originally quiet heart suddenly become active again.

Perhaps she noticed her husband's inner thoughts, Xia Wanyun silently held Xu Yunhe's broad hand. Although she did not say a word, she expressed her support for him with her actions.

His wife's understanding made Xu Yunhe more resolute in his inner thoughts, and he secretly made up his mind...

After dealing with all the trivial matters within the clan, Song Changsheng took Song Qingxing, Song Youfu and several young descendants of the family carefully selected by Song Qingxi, and went to the Daqian cultivation world with the help of Luoxia City's space teleportation array.
