Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"Oh my god, why are you here? When did you break through?" Song Youfu was surprised and happy.

Song Youlin forced a smile and said, "I came out of seclusion not long after my great-aunt passed away. During this time, I have been consolidating my cultivation. When my family was sending more people to the East China Sea and needed someone to lead the team, I took the initiative to apply to come here.

I didn’t expect so many things to happen during our years of seclusion.”

"To be precise, it was this year. The changes were frightening. In the blink of an eye, the family entered the East China Sea, and in the blink of an eye, an East China Sea Alliance was established. The vigorous development was carried out.

You haven't been to Yuchi Island yet, right? It's changing so fast, every day, sometimes I'm afraid it's too big a step." Song Youfu changed the subject, not wanting to talk about that sad thing again.

"Where is the patriarch? I will go and see him first."

“Ever since the news of my great-aunt’s death came, my ninth uncle has been living in seclusion. Apart from the last time when Cheng Ming Zhenren from the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce arrived at Yong’an Island, he has not shown up.

Now that you are here, there should be follow-up notifications, and we will have to hold a meeting or something.

How many of you are here this time? We are really short of manpower now." Song Youfu glanced at the giant flying boat behind Song Youlin and said.

"There are only a hundred people, five of whom are in the Foundation Establishment stage, and the rest are experts with cultivation level above the late Qi Refining stage." Song Youlin raised a finger and said.

"So few?" Song Youfu frowned. How could this small number of people be deployed in the East China Sea?

Song Youlin shook his head slightly and said, "Aunt Qingxia has already led the fleet to set off first. The speed of the flying boat is slow, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take a few years to arrive.

There are more than 15,000 mortals together with their affiliated forces. Once they arrive, the manpower problem will be alleviated.

Some of my people were drawn from the three garrisons in Jiangzhou, so it’s great to be able to gather these people together.”

"Hey, you two should stop chatting for a while. Where is Changsheng? How are we going to settle down?" Niu Dazhuang interrupted the topic forcefully.

"Brother, let's go up the mountain and have a chat."

Before Song Youfu could answer, Song Changsheng's voice came slowly from the top of the mountain.

"Please come in, Senior Niu." Song Youfu quickly made way.

After watching Niu Dazhuang leave, he winked at Song Youlin and said, "Now that I have broken through the Purple Mansion Stage, you will really have to protect me in the future."

"When isn't it?"

"Hey, You……"

……

"I didn't expect that Master would send me here in person. I wonder if Second Uncle's recent retreat has been going well?" In the hall on the top of the mountain, Song Changsheng gestured to Niu Dazhuang to take a seat.

"It could take decades or even hundreds of years. Who can say for sure if it takes to break through the Golden Core? All I can say is that no news is also a kind of good news."

"That's right. How many people did you bring with you this time, brother?"

“In addition to me, there are two Purple Mansion elders, twenty foundation-building cultivators, two hundred cultivators above the late Qi Refining stage, and several young people.

Another batch will have to come here by cross-domain flying boat, which will take several years.

Master Uncle is worried that you guys won't be able to stand alone in the East China Sea, so he asked me to bring some people over to help you out and broaden the horizons of these little guys.

I heard that the situation in the East China Sea is quite complicated. I am a newcomer and I am completely confused. You should be the one to coordinate what we should do."

Song Changsheng made some calculations in his mind. Together with the manpower from Muyun City, the power currently gathered by the East China Sea Alliance in the East China Sea was already considerable. There was no need to wait for the follow-up large forces to arrive. Some territories had to be taken over as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble.

"Now that everyone in the alliance has arrived, let's call everyone else to have a short meeting. It's time to plan for the future."

……

Soon, representatives of the members of the East China Sea Alliance arrived.

According to the covenant, each force has three seats in the Elders' Council, and the three forces in Luoxia City also sent three Purple Mansion monks to attend this first Elders' Meeting.

As for the Song family, Song Qingxia is still on the way, while Song Qingxing is stationed outside to guard the throat island of the Jinxiu Banner's external expansion. Therefore, only Song Changxuan, Song Youlin and Song Youfu will represent the meeting.

From the Muyun City side, the Liu, Li and Wang families each sent a representative, who were also old acquaintances of Song Changsheng, the Liu Xiyun trio.

"Meet the leader."

Everyone bowed respectfully.

"No need to be so polite, everyone." Song Changsheng gestured for everyone to take a seat.

"Now that everyone is here, I would like to share a piece of information with you.

In addition to the possible threat from the Sea Yaksha Clan, the Gemini Islands in front of Yong'an Island also discovered the remnants of the Blood Soul Demon Sect that once wreaked havoc on the Tianhe cultivation world.

These will be the two major threats that the alliance will need to face in the future, and both are quite powerful.

At present, our ability to resist risks is still too weak, and we must prepare early."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly. They knew the past of the Blood Soul Demon Sect too well, and naturally understood their terrifying pollution and destructive power.

"Please rest assured, Alliance Leader. Muyun City has dispatched all the array masters who have experience in building long-distance space teleportation arrays. They will definitely complete the construction of the space channel in the shortest time possible." Liu Xiyun said hurriedly.

“This is not enough, we also need to have enough depth to deal with all emergencies.

Therefore, I have decided to choose a day to launch a military operation against the Gemini Islands. What do you think, elders?" Song Changsheng said seriously.

"I think it's possible. From the intelligence, although there are many sirens in the Twin Islands, none of them can fight. They are just a mob, and wherever the Allied forces point to, they are all trash." Niu Dazhuang looked disdainful.

Liu Xiyun said very sensibly: "Muyuncheng is willing to be the vanguard."

"This battle really requires the support of the three elders." Song Changsheng nodded.

Currently, the East China Sea Alliance has limited manpower, and more than two-thirds of them are from Muyun City. Who asked them to send a fleet directly here?

Thirty warships, nearly three thousand well-trained city guards in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining, and over fifty foundation-building monks, they are the absolute main force in this battle.

However, the Gemini Islands are the main foundation for the future of the alliance. It is a foregone conclusion that Luoxia City and the Song family will divide them together. Muyun City is destined to work in vain this time and will get a few scattered islands at most.

Liu Xiyun and others are well aware of this, but there is nothing they can do about it since they don't have a Jindan Zhenren to take charge.

Without Jindan Zhenren, the only way to establish equal cooperation with the Song family or even the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce is to make more efforts. This is an irrefutable reality.

"Bandung can provide certain support in terms of logistics, but we will not participate in the war." The elders of the Bandung Chamber of Commerce clearly stated their position.

"Since you all have no objection, then this matter is settled. We will officially send troops to the Gemini Islands in ten days!" Song Changsheng made the final decision.

After that, he looked at everyone and said, "What I am going to say next is extraordinary and extremely risky, but risks and benefits coexist. I can tell you the bottom line here. You can earn at least ten times the profit!"

"Ten times!" Everyone present breathed a little faster. "If you don't want to participate, you can leave now. It won't affect the normal cooperation in the future.

If you want to participate, you need to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao to keep everything I say next confidential."

Song Changsheng looked around seriously, and everyone was as still as a mountain.

Triple the profit is enough to make people take risks, let alone ten times. Such temptation is really hard to resist.

There are currently four members of the East China Sea Alliance. There is no need to say much about the Bandung Chamber of Commerce. Luoxia City and Muyun City both started out as trade cities, and risks have long been commonplace for them.

The bold ones will die of overeating, and the timid ones will die of starvation. They will rush to the front if the profit is five times, let alone ten times.

"In that case, let's take a vow together." Song Changsheng nodded with satisfaction.

Of course he would like to see such a result. After all, it is an alliance, and only when everyone is united can they move in unison.

After everyone had sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao, Song Changsheng took out the scales and transaction list given to him by Liuli from his sleeve, displayed them in front of everyone, and briefly recounted the whole story.

Only then did Niu Dazhuang and others realize how much Song Changsheng had done during this period of time. At the same time, they also understood what the risks he was talking about were. Strictly speaking, this was treason.

However, the three elders of the Bandung Chamber of Commerce remained relatively calm.

Because this kind of thing is not new to them.

For the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce to have grown to its current scale, it is naturally impossible for it to only do business with the human race. It has also had many dealings with other races in private. Except for the demon race, which is a red line that it has never touched, there are many forces such as the sea race and the spirit race that it can contact.

If you do this kind of thing too often, your sense of awe will naturally fade away. As long as it is not brought to the surface and does not cause a big impact, it will not be a big deal at all.

There are many who collude with the demon clan in secret, so what does doing business mean to them?

“Now that everyone has understood, let’s go back and gather resources according to the list and select someone to handle this matter.

We need to strictly control the total volume of transactions, so we only trade once a year and divide the amount equally for the time being. We first gather resources into the alliance, and then trade with the Cailin tribe in the name of the alliance.

My opinion is that we should trade more consumable resources such as elixirs, as magic weapons are too conspicuous, the fewer the better." Song Changsheng said seriously.

"We will obey the orders of the leader."

"Then all the elders should go down and prepare now. We will set out in ten days."

Everyone said goodbye and left, but Song Youfu and others stayed where they were, because they knew that Song Changsheng must have other instructions.

“Once we conquer the Gemini Islands, our foundation in the East China Sea will be solid, and I will return to the family to prepare for the next competition.

I have some things to tell you in advance.

For a long time in the future, the guardian elders will represent the family in the East China Sea.

The guardian elder does not like mundane affairs, so this aspect is handled by the Changxuan clan brothers and Youlin.

Matters related to trade with the Cailin tribe will be handled by Youfu."

"Me?" Song Youfu was a little confused. How did this happen to him again?

Song Changsheng narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You are the only elder of the External Affairs Hall here, if not you, who will be in charge?

Don't worry, you are only responsible for the contact and negotiation, and the people in the inner treasury will take over the trade."

"Yes, sir." Song Youfu responded weakly. He originally stayed in the External Affairs Hall because he saw that it was free, but who knew that the burden on him became more and more, and he didn't even have the chance to be lazy.

"What does the clan leader plan to do when he returns to the clan?" Song Youlin asked curiously. The battle situation in the Twin Islands is still undecided, and it seems too early to say these things now.

Song Changsheng said calmly: "It all depends on when the Jinxiu Banner will take action."

Everyone was immediately shocked when they heard this.

"Jing Xiu sent back the news that the battle between the Jinxiu Banner and the Cailin Clan has come to an end.

Once they have completely repelled the sea tribe, they will certainly send people to recover the lost territory. By then, they will find that the throat of the east has been controlled by the family.

[Jinxiu Banner] will definitely not remain indifferent, and below the Jindan stage, no one in [Jinxiu Banner] can match the guardian elder, so Song Daoling is very likely to take action himself.

I plan to take this opportunity to ambush them and give them a taste of their own medicine. Only by teaching them a profound lesson can they recognize reality and behave themselves."

What Song Changsheng was referring to was naturally the incident in which Song Daoling lured Liuli to ambush him halfway. The reason why he had not taken any means to retaliate was because the time was not yet ripe.

It’s different now. With the establishment of the East China Sea Alliance, they have gained a firm foothold in the East China Sea. Now they can give the [Jinxiu Banner] a heavy blow to teach them a lesson!

Only by giving this warning could Song Changsheng leave the East China Sea with peace of mind and return to Cangmang Peak...

Ten days passed in a flash, and the Song family, Luoxia City, and Muyun City joined forces and began to march towards the Gemini Islands.

Thirty warships formed three columns in the air, sailing at a constant speed on the blue sea, with flags flying and a mighty momentum.

With such a powerful force, as long as there is no fourth-level monster, it can almost sweep all the way.

The only drawback is that there are no ocean-going battleships, which makes it a little powerless to deal with water monsters.

However, their main goal this time is to occupy the island, so these don’t matter.

The commander-in-chief of this battle was Niu Dazhuang. The Song team was led by Song Youlin and Xu Yunhe. Song Changsheng did not take action personally.

Asking him to take action is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

After watching the Allied Fleet leave, Song Changsheng set out to reunite with Song Qingxing. He needed to make some preparations in advance...

The place where Song Qingxing was located was called Yixianxia, ​​a huge spiritual island that was divided into two parts by the power of nature, forming a spacious strait in the center that could accommodate large ships and effectively avoid hurricanes and thunderstorms.

[Jinxiu Banner] If you want to expand eastward, it will be difficult to bypass this place.

As long as we hold this place, we will be able to ambush Song Daoling 100%.

But objectively speaking, Song Daoling is stronger than Song Changsheng, so it would take some effort to defeat him.

The formation is obviously a very good choice.

There is an old saying in the world of cultivation: never try to challenge a formation master to a duel, because you have no idea what you will face then.

Song Changsheng didn't have much time left, so he chose to use the [Mysterious Nine Changes Sword Diagram] given to him by the Ancient God Pavilion during the previous Golden Elixir Ceremony, the [Ten Directions Qiankun Formation Diagram] given by Peng Siying, and the [Five Spirits Prisoner Sky Formation Diagram] used when he surrounded and killed the [Silver Moon Wolf King] before to jointly construct a killing formation.

Prepare a huge surprise for Song Daoling that he will remember for a lifetime!
