Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

During the time when Song Changsheng ambushed Song Daoling, the people on Yong'an Island were also not idle.

Thirty warships charged into the Gemini Islands with great force, and wiped out the monsters on the two third-level spiritual islands in the center at lightning speed. Then they divided into two groups and swept away the monsters on the remaining spiritual islands respectively.

The process was still very easy. There were no particularly difficult targets. Several third-level monsters died miserably at the hands of Xu Yunhe, Niu Dazhuang and others.

There was no difficulty on the island, and with the battleships controlling the air, the battle was over in just three days.

During the following period, in addition to clearing out the remaining enemies, the main task was to deal with the constant harassment from the sea monsters in the inland seas of the archipelago.

These sirens were numerous and omnipresent, causing considerable trouble to the expeditionary allied forces, including some third-tier large sirens.

Unfortunately, the coalition forces are composed of aerial warships, and are unable to effectively suppress the sirens under the sea. They can only let a group of Purple Mansion monks work together to first focus on clearing out the scattered big monsters, and then concentrate their forces to slowly clear them out.

After a whole half month, there was little achievement. There was too much space for maneuvering in the sea. After all, humans were not the masters of the ocean, and the army was too weak to face the unfathomable sea.

The only thing to be thankful for is that there are no fourth-level strongmen among the sirens, and they are not interested in land. As long as you do not appear in their field of vision, they generally will not attack.

However, if they want to build ports and shipyards in the future, it will be impossible for them to coexist peacefully with these sea monsters. It can be foreseen that this will be a more troublesome problem in the short term.

"Have the Twin Islands been brought under control? Ahem..."

On Yong'an Island, Song Changsheng asked Song Youfu who had rushed back to report.

After a day and a night of breathing exercises, his injuries have been basically under control, but a long period of rest is still needed to fully heal. The wound caused by the broken silver spear has not yet healed completely.

"We have already controlled the main spiritual islands. As we are short of manpower, we will temporarily skip the other small islands and deserted islands." Song Youfu responded respectfully.

Song Changsheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's pretty good. Was the process smooth? How were the casualties?"

"The process was quite smooth. We were well prepared and had the logistical support from the Bandung Chamber of Commerce. The casualties were not too great. However, we were constantly harassed by the sea monsters. It was like a blood drain, and we were bleeding all the time."

At this point, Song Youfu looked at Song Changsheng's slightly pale face with concern and said, "Uncle Jiu, are you injured?"

"Cough cough cough...

It's okay, it's not a big deal. In comparison, Song Daoling lost half his life. During this period of time, you just need to withdraw your troops and defend the main islands. Don't get entangled with the sea monsters to avoid unnecessary casualties.

As for the matter of the sea monster, I will handle it after my injury recovers." Song Changsheng waved his hand.

Hearing that Song Changsheng was fine, Song Youfu looked much more relaxed: "Are you going to do it yourself? Isn't that a bit too much of a compliment to them?"

"Sometimes, you don't necessarily need to do it yourself to solve a problem. Go down. During this period of time, do some construction on the island and divide the territory with Luoxia City.

When you have nothing to do, remember to go around those islands, you might find something unexpected." Song Changsheng said meaningfully.

Song Youfu's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "You really treat me as a treasure-hunting rat."

"My grandson understands."

"I'll go over there." Song Qingxing, who was standing beside him with a sword in his arms, suddenly spoke up.

"I will be in seclusion to heal my wounds for the next period of time. You will stay at Yong'an Island for me. You don't have to worry about the Gemini Islands. I have already thought of a foolproof plan."

Although Song Daoling was severely injured, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Jinxiu Banner will take advantage of the coalition forces' sweep of the Gemini Islands to launch a surprise attack on Yong'an Island. We still have to be cautious.

"I understand." Song Qingxing nodded, then reached out from his arms and took out a blood-stained storage bag and handed it over: "Song Daoling left it."

"Extract the blood and essence from Song Daoling's body. It may be useful in the future."

After saying that, Song Changsheng took the storage bag, waved his hand to break the restriction on it, and probed his spiritual sense into it, and the items inside were immediately visible.

The first thing that caught my eye was a small pile of spirit stones. Although there were not many of them, they were all medium- and high-quality spirit stones. A rough estimate showed that their value should be around one million.

Given Song Daoling's identity, it could only be said that it was better than nothing, so he gave it to Song Qingxing as a reward for this battle.

In addition to the spirit stones, there are also two fourth-level mid-grade magic weapons, a magic sword and a copper whip. They are of very good quality and their value is higher than that small pile of spirit stones.

It could also make up for his loss of magic weapons. He lost two magic weapons in the previous battle, so the [Zhenhai Seal] was fine, as it was originally captured.

The damage to [Bai Sha Qiong Qiong] was quite painful for him. His spiritual power was greatly damaged. He didn't know how long it would take to replenish it.

"There is actually a top-grade magic weapon." Song Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly. The magic weapon that Song Daoling could carry on his body must be extraordinary.

The magic weapon is a palm-sized, three-inch round metal can.

"What is this?" Song Qingxing frowned slightly. He felt an evil aura from it.

"This is the Soul Capture Jar, a magical tool used to capture spirits. It is quite common in the Western Continent."

The spirit race usually refers to special life forms such as plant elves or mountain and rock spirits that are born and raised naturally. For example, the tree spirits, evil spirits, and even magic weapon spirits that Song Changsheng had encountered before all belong to the category of spirit race.

Different spirit races have different functions, so some people specially refine magic weapons to capture spirit races. Song Changsheng once captured an evil spirit and refined it into the [Bai Sha Qiongqi Ding] as a spirit weapon.

There is a restriction on this [Soul Capturing Jar], and if nothing unexpected happens, a spirit should have been captured inside.

When the ban was opened, there was a pool of clear water inside, but if you look closely you can find that it actually has vitality.

"So it's Hai Ling. The East China Sea is so vast, and you were actually captured by Song Daoling. It's your fate. Come out." Song Changsheng shouted softly.

Then, the clear water in the [Soul Capturing Jar] floated up and condensed into a phantom of a spirit fish with blurred facial features in front of Song Changsheng, looking at him timidly.

Song Changsheng flicked his fingers and put a ban on its body, and said in a deep voice: "You can understand what I say, so your intelligence must be quite high. As long as you cooperate with me, I will protect your life."

The sea spirit nodded hurriedly. In front of a strong man of Song Changsheng's level, it did not have the courage to resist at all.

"Go in, I will tell you when I need you."

Hai Ling did not dare to disobey and obediently returned to the [Soul Capturing Jar].

"What is the use of this thing?"

Song Changsheng patiently explained: "Sea spirits are the darlings of the sea, favored by the ocean, and can come and go freely in the sea.

You can think of it as a treasure-hunting rat in the ocean, which can be used to find rare spiritual materials and hidden mineral veins hidden under the deep sea. It is worthless in the inland, but it is a priceless treasure in the East China Sea.

This thing is given to you, you must make good use of it." "Yes." Song Qingxing took it respectfully.

"There are quite a few good things in this old guy's storage bag." Song Changsheng took out a fourth-grade mid-grade [Xuanjian Posha Talisman] from it.

"No wonder he didn't leave after being seriously injured. It turns out he was carrying this thing. You should take this thing too. You can't guard the East China Sea without a trump card."

After handing the talisman to Song Qingxing, he took out a lot of bottles and jars from it. Most of them were fourth-grade elixirs, but the most valuable ones, [Dragon Elephant Pill] and [Nine Profound Jade Hua Pill], had already been taken.

"This is... [Essence of Heaven and Earth]." Song Changsheng's eyes lit up and he took out a small jade bottle two inches high. There were at least a dozen drops in it. Without a channel, it would be difficult to get this thing.

When it comes to the Jindan stage, without the assistance of external objects, the efficiency of comprehending the laws is very low. Among the spiritual objects that can effectively improve the efficiency of comprehending the laws, [Essence of Heaven and Earth] is undoubtedly the most cost-effective one.

It’s a pity that the Song family has not yet established external supply channels and has no stable source.

"What is this?" His eyes were attracted by one of the small porcelain bottles. He picked it out and looked at it. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "[Dragon Elephant Essence Blood]."

The background of [Jinxiu Banner] is indeed not to be underestimated. Surprises come one after another. The [Dragon Elephant Pill] that Song Daoling took before was refined with this thing. It is no problem to refine another furnace with the amount of this bottle. It is a real good thing that can turn the tide at a critical moment.

Even if you don't use it to make pills, the effect of using it directly to strengthen your body is also very good.

After picking and choosing, what was left were just some miscellaneous items that had no value. If one had to choose something, the only one would be Song Daoling's identity badge as the Supreme Elder.

"I will be in seclusion for a few days. You should pay attention to the direction of the [Jinxiu Flag]." Song Changsheng reminded.

"As ordered."

……

Song Changsheng sat cross-legged and suddenly remembered the half of the silver spear that had injured him.

There is still an astonishing evil spirit remaining on it.

"【Xuanshu Mithril】." Song Changsheng's eyes flashed with brilliance. This is an extremely special spiritual material in the world of cultivation. It has no specific grade. It can be used to refine both first-grade and sixth-grade magic tools.

The power of a magic weapon depends on the method of cultivation and the level of cultivation of the user.

Due to the erosion of time, the spiritual patterns on this magic weapon have all been destroyed, and its specific grade cannot be seen, but judging from the power it exerts, it is definitely above the fourth grade.

Song Changsheng remembered the trace of blood on it. Although it had evaporated, it was all absorbed by the broken spear, and some of it should be able to be extracted.

He used his magic power to wrap it, and soon wisps of blood mist were released from it. He collected all of it and finally condensed it into a drop of thick blood the size of a mung bean, emitting a terrifying breath.

Song Changsheng's breathing was a little rapid.

"This... could it be the essence and blood of the Supreme Being?"

The human race has become a god and is called the supreme being, and the demon race has become the emperor at the sixth level. They are almost at the top of this world. A drop of their blood is enough to evaporate rivers and crush mountains. If used as medicine, its effect will be even stronger than that of fifth-level elixir.

It's no wonder that Song Daoling placed his hopes of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage on this drop of essence and blood.

"I don't know where he got this thing from." A place that can produce such a treasure must be extraordinary. It is very likely to be an ancient battlefield of a very high level.

It is no exaggeration to say that a place like that is full of opportunities.

Carefully collecting this drop of essence and blood, the harvest this time was truly beyond imagination.

During the following period, Song Changsheng retreated for ten days to heal his injuries. During this period, both Yong'an Island and the Gemini Islands were unusually calm and peaceful, which made his healing efficiency surprisingly high.

"call--"

Song Changsheng slowly exhaled a breath, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he reached out to lift up his shirt. There was an ugly and hideous scar in the center of his chest.

Although he still had some internal injuries that required him to recuperate, he was no longer weak to the point where others would notice him.

He reached out and took out the scale that Liuli had given him, and sent her a message about meeting her.

He didn't have to wait long before the other party responded and directed him to a certain place to meet.

Song Changsheng packed up a little and rushed to the appointment.

This time, Liuli chose a deserted island near the Gemini Islands. She was dressed in colorful clothes and stood proudly on the top of the mountain, obviously having been waiting for a long time.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

Liuli turned around upon hearing the voice and got straight to the point: "What do you want from me?"

"Of course I'm looking for a fellow Taoist because I want to do business." Song Changsheng said with a smile.

"Didn't we already sign the contract?" Liuli frowned slightly.

"Of course, apart from that, I heard that the nobles' counterattack failed not long ago?"

Liuliyu's face turned cold, and she said in a cold voice: "Why, are you here just to see the joke?"

"Fellow Daoist, please do not be angry. Song came here for this matter. I brought an opportunity for the nobles to redeem themselves from their previous shame.

As long as you use your ability to control the sea monsters to help me move the monsters in the Gemini Islands away, I will tell you everything. This deal is a sure win for you."

Liuli Phoenix narrowed her eyes slightly and said calmly: "It is easy for me to move the monsters away. It depends on whether the opportunity in your hand is worth the price."

Song Changsheng didn't say much, just threw Song Daoling's identity badge to Liuli and smiled, "Is this enough?"

Looking at the badge in his hand, Liuli's heart moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Some time ago, a tribe member reported that a demon king-level war broke out in the waters of Shuanglong Island. The momentum was extremely huge. Could it be you?"

"Yes, I ambushed Song Daoling on Shuanglong Island and almost killed him. Do you think this news is worth it?"

Liuli looked at Song Changsheng, who seemed to be fine, and asked with doubt in her eyes: "You are only in the early stage of Jindan, how can you have such ability?"

"I am not talented, but I am a fourth-rank formation master, and I have done just that. Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you. But as a trading partner, I still want to remind you that if you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again." Song Changsheng said patiently.
