Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 337 The True Meaning of the Way of Talismans! (Two in One)

Evening, study.

"Sir, I've counted them. The total value of the two boxes of treasures is about five hundred mid-grade spirit crystals." Song Ping'an handed a list of accounts to Song Changming.

This assessment is based on the current market value.

I can only say that they are worthy of being the Changsheng Su family, as any thank-you gift is such an exaggerated amount.

And this does not include the Changshou Sword that Su Fengye personally gave to Song Changming.

In fact, precious swords are hard to come by, and the value of the sword may be even greater than this treasure!
"Well, take this money and use it for the future expansion of the winery." Song Changming glanced at the list casually, and then gave instructions.

At present, he still has enough mid-grade spirit crystals for his practice and is not in short supply, so he does not need to keep this extra money for the time being.

Instead of leaving this money idle, it would be better to use it to support Song Ping'an's newly started industry, accelerate its development, and get it on the right track as soon as possible.

If it succeeds in the future, the rewards to him will be huge.

It can be said that whether he can use high-quality spirit crystals for cultivation in the future depends on whether Song Ping'an can continue to make money for him.

"Also, this letter is sent to Qingqing, so please deliver it as quickly as possible." Song Changming handed the letter he had just written to Song Ping'an and asked him to find someone to deliver it.

"Is there something urgent?" Song Ping'an took the envelope and couldn't help asking.

Song Changming stood up from his chair, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and said, "Su Fengye is going to remarry."

"Su Fengye" Song Ping'an was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that this Su Fengye was the biological father that Su Qingqing mentioned.

For a moment, Song Pingan fell silent.

It can be said that both he and Song Changming watched Su Qingqing grow up by their side since childhood.

They knew best how deep Su Qingqing's feelings for her biological father and mother were.

Even though she later learned the truth and knew her mother was a demon, she still chose to go to the dangerous Yuanzhou to find her mother. This shows her strength.

Although she was angry about her father and the Su family's actions before she left, she did not want to completely cut off ties with Su Fengye.

It was just because of what the Su family did to her that made it difficult for her to get close to the Su family, so she did not recognize Su Fengye.

And now, this marriage is like a knife.

In Su Qingqing's eyes, it was Su Fengye who picked up the knife himself and wanted to sever the father-daughter relationship between them.

The blow must have been huge.

"Young Master." Song Ping'an looked worried.

"We can't help with this." Song Changming shook his head.

Everyone has their own hardships and difficulties to go through. Some things others can help with, but some things you need to go through alone in order to continue to grow.

Upon hearing this, Song Ping'an also sighed, and with a heavy heart, he left the house with the envelope.

The next day, in the courtyard.

Before the cock crowed, Ah Da had already started practicing the standing meditation with a serious and focused look on his face.

By the time Song Changming left the room, Ada was already sweating all over, his muscles were trembling, and he seemed to be on the verge of reaching his limit.

But he still gritted his teeth and persisted, refusing to give up.

Song Changming was quite appreciative of Ada's enthusiasm and attitude towards martial arts.

Although the stance is not so standard and only has form but no spirit, except for those rare geniuses born with it, almost every martial artist starts learning martial arts in this way.

Song Changming himself is no exception.

A'er, who was standing by, was fanning his brother with a fan and shouting in a low voice to encourage him.

My younger brother's mind is like that of a child, confused and ignorant.

Although he didn't quite understand why his brother suddenly had to practice martial arts so hard, it didn't stop him from helping out.

Seeing Song Changming coming out, Ah Er immediately put away his fan and said respectfully, "Sir, breakfast is ready. Shall I serve it to you?"

"Yeah." Song Changming nodded, and sat at the stone table in the yard. He ate breakfast while correcting Ada's posture.

When it comes to body training, he is very experienced.

Even the standing meditation that he taught was something he had learned bit by bit through his own process of training his body and reorganizing his mind. It was unique in the world.

Although it is more difficult than most of the physical exercises, in terms of the effect of physical training, it is definitely the best physical exercise Song Changming has ever seen.

After breakfast, Song Changming straightened his military armor and went to the military base.

Today, the military rewards have also been received.

Song Changming and his team of new recruits, as well as other generals, all received strong praise from Wang Tianshuang.

It was a great achievement in the military.

When you are promoted to a higher military rank in the future, these accumulated achievements will be the key.

In addition, the army also distributed some money and spirit crystals as rewards, and basically everyone who carried out this task received a share.

The twelve recruits team led by Song Changming received the most rewards.

Of course, these material and financial rewards cannot compare to the generous gifts that the Su family specially prepared for Song Changming. The military still mainly rewards merit.

With this considerable achievement, plus the remaining accumulation from the previous year's mission, Song Changming had another opportunity to go to the military armory to select secret records of martial arts.

If Su Fengye had not given him the sword, he had also considered exchanging his merits for a sharp blade in the military arsenal.

But now that he has the Chang Shou Dao, this weapon is no longer among his exchange targets.

In the end, he exchanged for a volume on the true meaning of the Way of Talismans.

It's not that he doesn't want to learn other martial arts, it's just that the high-grade martial arts he likes require too many merits, and it's not enough to accumulate them in one or two missions.

He had already learned a second-grade sword technique, but it was not enough now.

Among the remaining choices, he was more interested in this volume of the secret records of the true meaning of talismans.

Different from martial arts secrets, this secret record talks about the art of talismans, which he had never explored before.

As for the art of talismans, Song Changming had witnessed all the mysteries of it since he came to the country of Guyuan.

Things like the Qiankun bag in his hand and other talisman papers with various functions all made Song Changming feel interesting.

In addition, the remaining rune formation at the Demon-Slaying Pavilion also left a deep impression on him.

The more you understand, the more you will discover the magic of this art.

However, there are very few people in the army who are good at the art of talismans. Those powerful people who are well versed in the art of talismans mostly live in major talisman sects.

Many of the fine talisman papers and talisman tools on the market are also made by these talisman sect followers.

On weekdays, even if Song Changming was interested, it was difficult to find someone to discuss the art of talismans with.

Therefore, he planned to study and research on his own, of course, under the premise that it would not affect his martial arts practice.

Anyway, he has a lot of years to squander, and it's always good to have more means to achieve his goals.

"I don't know if I can understand the art of talismans with my current level of qualifications," Song Changming said to himself as he looked at the secret scroll of the true meaning of runes in his hand.

The file is very thick and has several volumes. A quick glance shows that it contains a lot of content.

He was not sure whether he could get started with the art of runes with the help of this rune scroll. It probably wouldn't be that easy.

If the art of talismans was really that easy to learn, there would be talisman masters everywhere in the world, and they wouldn't be as scarce as they are today.

Afterwards, with the mentality of taking his time, Song Changming took some time every day to start studying the files.

At the beginning, without anyone to guide me, I was really confused.

But a few days later, the panel still gave him a surprise. [The True Meaning of the Way of Talismans: Not Yet Entered (0/100)]

When he read it through several times and the secret record of the Way of Talismans appeared on his personal panel along with the experience bar, he knew that he would definitely be able to learn the Way of Talismans.

The only thing left is the question of whether the liver heals quickly or slowly.

While Song Changming was studying and pondering the art of talismans every day, the news of Su Fengye's marriage from the Su family was spreading like wildfire among the aristocratic families in the city.

Su Fengye already has a wife, and a few top family members in the core city are aware of the Changsheng family scandal.

But that was more than twenty years ago.

Many things have long been forgotten. Even if this incident had not happened, with Su Fengye's status and position, it would be normal for him to have many wives and concubines around him. It was nothing.

What those noble families are really concerned about is Su Fengye’s marriage partner this time, not an ordinary person.

She is also from the Changsheng family, and the daughter of the Gu family which is at the peak of its prosperity!

With such an identity and status, even if she is not a core descendant of the Gu family, marrying into the Su family is considered marrying down.

This marriage is undoubtedly a great thing and of extraordinary significance to the Su family.

Many people from top families are aware of this. In fact, they know more than ordinary people and are more aware of the Su family’s current embarrassing situation.

Changsheng Su was not born and raised in Yunzhou.

Instead, he rose to prominence from Yuanzhou, and his ancestors were once extremely glorious figures.

However, Yunzhou was later invaded and occupied by countless demon tribes. The Su family also declined in this disaster and had to choose to flee to Yunzhou and retake root.

However, having left their ancestral land and lost their roots, even after coming to Yunzhou, the Su family's decline was already irreversible.

At this point, among all the immortal families of the human race, the Su family has apparently become very close to the bottom of the list.

And if the downward trend does not change, and if this trend continues, each generation will be worse than the previous one, sooner or later the immortal bloodline will be difficult to preserve, and eventually the immortal family will become an ordinary family, no longer special.

At worst, it will disappear in the long river of history and become just a few lines of records in history books.

This is the current family dilemma of the Su family. It seems that their status in the city remains the same, transcendent, mysterious and powerful.

But in reality, it is coming to an end.

If there are no changes and the downward trend continues, the Su family will be gone in a few years.

Time passed day by day, and a month passed quickly.

In the study, Song Changming picked up a pen and wrote strange characters on a piece of white paper.

He had a focused expression and his eyes were full of spirit, which was a sign of his mental power emanating.

The characters in the pen are not words, but runes.

Of course, the runes were not actually generated. This was just Song Changming's own practice.

It is writing, not engraving.

In addition, there is a small pile of wooden blocks on the desk, some round and some square, with rune marks on them that seem to have been carved with a knife. These are also the results of practice.

Rune engraving is not an easy task.

This requires strong spiritual power and extremely high relevant understanding.

His current progress is still far from being enough to successfully engrave the real runes.

Half an hour later, Song Changming opened the panel to check.

“It’s gone up a little bit more.”

[The True Meaning of Talismans: Not Yet Entered (5/100)]

In a month, he only gained five experience points in the way of talismans.

This progress is quite slow, and it is even more difficult than when he first started practicing martial arts.

At this rate, it would take years just to get started with the Dao of Talismans.
Of course, this is also because he did not put all his energy into it.

Most of the time he focused on practicing martial arts.

Fortunately, Song Changming had enough patience and mental preparation, so he didn't feel frustrated.

Just take your time.

"March, it's almost time." Rong Jiang's voice came from outside the house.

Upon hearing this, Song Changming put down his pen and paper, straightened his clothes a little, and walked out of the study.

Today he took off his armor, wore a dark brocade robe and a hair crown. He looked less majestic and murderous than when he was in the army, and more elegant.

"Let's go." Song Changming got into the carriage and let Rong Jiang drive it towards the core city.

Today is the wedding day of Su Fengye from the Su family.

The carriage shuttled all the way from the third urban district to the second urban district.

The Su family's happy event did not affect the people in the city.

Even the rumors did not reach here, as if they were all isolated by the walls of the core city.

This happy event has nothing to do with them.

This was a banquet among top aristocratic families, and they were the only ones qualified to know about it.

Even Song Changming is just a special case.

The carriage entered the core city and arrived at the huge Su Mansion that they had seen once before.

The Su Mansion was quite large, and Song Changming felt that it was more than enough to plan out a residential area inside.

Today, the Su Mansion is packed with people, which is extremely rare on weekdays.

After all, there are not many people who are qualified to visit the Su family, and even fewer are willing to be received.

After getting off the carriage, Rong Jiang handed out the invitation without any further ado.

There was no farce of looking down on others. The steward of the Su Mansion took the invitation and politely welcomed Song Changming in.

This was also the first time Song Changming entered the Su Mansion.

In fact, this place was where Su Qingqing gave birth to her and raised her, but now it seems that there is no place for her to stay.

The house was decorated with lights and full of festive atmosphere, and it was obvious that the Su family was hosting the wedding in a very grand manner.

Ordinary members of the tribe would not be treated like this in their marriages.

In addition, what concerned Song Changming was that this huge mansion had more than one large formation.

The spiritual energy in the mansion is richer than that in the outside world!
Entering the mansion feels like arriving at a paradise. It can only be said that it is truly extraordinary.

The servant led Song Changming through gardens and water features when he suddenly heard someone calling him on the way.

Looking sideways, he saw several people walking down another road, three of whom he recognized at first sight.

It turned out to be Liu Xiangnan, Zhao Dongming and the senior gentleman from the Changsheng Jiang family.

It has been many years since they saw Su Qingqing off, and now they finally meet again.

"Changming, how are you?" Liu Xiangnan smiled and started to greet Song Changming.

"Senior Liu, Senior Zhao, Mr. Jiang, nice to meet you again." Song Changming was also a little surprised to be able to meet again on this occasion.

"Haha, I am destined to meet you, little friend." Jiang He stroked his beard and smiled.
