Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Chapter 118
In the next few days, Song Changsheng was immersed in practice. Although [Insight Technique] was easy, [Ten Thousand Miles Search] was not easy, and it consumed a lot of his energy.

During the period of his retreat, Song Luhuai was not idle either. He delivered the excess goods and money he brought and received the remaining [-] high-grade spiritual stones.

The income from this trade has been the Song family's income for more than half a year. In the future, the family's finances will be much better, and Song Luzhou will no longer have to sigh all day long.

On this day, Song Changsheng left the customs early.

Sun Chuanming was appraising treasures behind the counter, and Song Changsheng, as before, found a quiet place to sit down, and started using the [Insight Technique] that he had just mastered.

After a while, Song Changsheng realized the magic of this technique. The last time he appraised the treasure, he always came to very different conclusions from Sun Chuanming.

Today, although the conclusions he reached were often inconsistent with Sun Chuanming's, they were much better than last time. Moreover, there were many times where the results were exactly the same.

This is the reason why he has not accumulated enough. If he calms down and learns the art of treasure appraisal and studies the books in Sun Chuanming's house, he believes that he will surpass Sun Chuanming in a short time.

It's not an exaggeration, it's a fact.

Although Sun Chuanming was a teacher, his realm and understanding were not as good as Song Changsheng's, especially in terms of the strength of his spiritual consciousness.

He is doing better than Song Changsheng now, just because of his rich experience.

After waiting for a while and no guests came in, Sun Chuanming walked up to Song Changsheng and asked, "How do you feel?"

Song Changsheng cupped his hands and smiled: "Although it is not as good as the teacher, it is not far away!"

"With your qualifications, it is only a matter of time before you surpass me. If you want to improve quickly, there is no way. I can introduce you to a good place." Sun Chuanming said with a smile without feeling dissatisfied.

Hearing that there was a "quick success" method, Song Changsheng's tricks suddenly brightened up: "Please ask the teacher for advice."

Sun Chuanming didn't show off, he opened his mouth and spit out two words: "Market."

"Market?" Although Song Changsheng came to Luoxia City for the first time, he often asked Song Luhuai for relevant information along the way.

Luoxia City is the trade center in the southwest of the entire Daqi cultivation world, and it is also a famous city of monks. Naturally, it is a place where monks can exchange their knowledge and needs.

This place is the market. Luoxia City is large, so a market has been set up in the east and west of the city for many monks to exchange trade. It can be called one of the two most lively places in the city.

The two markets are different from each other. The East Market is mainly for bulk transactions, such as the goods brought for sale by various forces. The transaction volume is large and there are many varieties. In addition to the official forces of Luoxia City, all parties can eat. Yes, it is not something that individuals can participate in.

Like Wang, if they don't have direct contact with Qian Duo, the goods they bring will have to be processed in Dongshi.

The West Market is different. There are mainly shops or stalls set up by small merchants and hawkers. It is very similar to Liuyunfang City. There are mostly small transactions here, and it is the place with the most casual cultivators and monks from outside.

In the West Market, you only need to pay a certain "stall fee" to set up a stall to sell goods and be protected by the city.

Therefore, here, the types of goods are the most diverse, and the quality is also uneven. There are even many fakes, so people come to Sun Chuanming from time to time for identification.

In this case, why are so many people keen on West Market?
This question is very simple, because you can really find treasures here. Although many of them are fakes deliberately mixed in by vendors, there are also some items that even the stall owners themselves do not know their origins.

They may be worthless, but there are also those whose pearls are covered in dust, giving those people the opportunity to "pick up the missing".

Although the "leak pickers" are only a few discerning people and lucky people, the majority are fools who were deceived into buying a bunch of junk.

But everyone who goes to West Market will not think that they are the idiots, but those "leak pickers" with unique vision.

Because of this, the West Market, where counterfeit goods are rampant, has not only not been criticized, but has become more and more prosperous in recent years. It can be said to be the busiest place in Luoxia City.

Sun Chuanming only said the word "market", but Song Changsheng already understood in his heart, so he blurted out: "You want me to go to the West Market?"

"That's right, when I first came to Luoxia City, I often hung out in the Western Market. With this little skill, I made a lot of money and my eye skills also improved rapidly.

But as time went by, the reputation gradually spread. When the merchants in the West Market saw me, they would avoid me like a tiger or a wolf. As time went by, I stopped going.

But since you have just arrived, your reputation is not obvious, but you can turn around. "Sun Chuanming nodded slightly. Even when that time was heard now, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

Song Changsheng couldn't help but feel funny. If a treasure appraiser entered the Western Market, wouldn't that be like a tiger entering a flock of sheep?

What's more, he is a leader among treasure appraisers like Sun Chuanming. As long as he takes action, he will definitely gain something, but the traders will avoid him.

"Students understand." Song Changsheng nodded, this is indeed a good place for him.

Speaking of which, he had been in Luoxia City for a few days. Except for the extra time he went out to see Qian that day, he stayed in his room the rest of the time. He hadn't gone shopping yet, so he just happened to go out for a walk.

It's just that Luoxia City is so big that you need to bring a guide. But at the moment, Song Luhuai and the other young clan members are not in the grocery store. They should have gone to the East Market to buy the family's needs. Otherwise, Song Luhuai can take him. Go for a spin.

Just when Song Changsheng was thinking about hiring someone, a handyman working at the counter seemed to have noticed his needs and volunteered: "Young patriarch is going to the West Market, do you need a guide?"

He followed the sound and saw a somewhat immature young man, about tall and tall, with handsome features and full of vitality.

Song Xiantu saw this and said quickly: "Young patriarch, his name is Qingluo. He was born locally in Luoxia City. He has lived in the city for 18 years and knows the city well. Having him guide you can save you a lot of trouble."

Song Changsheng suddenly realized that he was actually a "local". He was worried that he had no guide. Isn't this ready-made?
He smiled and nodded: "Then please ask Qingluo to lead the way for me."

Song Qingluo shook his head hurriedly and said: "It's not hard, it's not hard. It's my honor to be able to lead the way for the young patriarch."

------

After saying goodbye to Song Xiantu and others, Song Changsheng took Song Qingluo out. Walking on the bustling street, Song Qingluo said cheerfully: "Young patriarch, shall we go directly to the West Market?"

"Is there any more interesting place along the way?" Now that he is out, Song Changsheng is not in a hurry and plans to go shopping all the way.

Song Qingluo replied without hesitation after hearing this: "There is a Bafang Pavilion store in front. It is said to be the largest in the southwest of Da Qi. Many monks from other places like to go there."

Song Changsheng, the famous name of Bafang Pavilion, naturally knows about it. There is also one in Liuyunfang City, which suppresses the six major foundation-building forces in Lingzhou.Although he was somewhat interested, Song Changsheng gave up the idea after weighing his money bag. Although there were many treasures in Bafang Pavilion, the prices were also very dazzling.

Seeing Song Changsheng's lack of interest, Song Qingluo immediately said: "There is an auction house further ahead. It will be the Great City Lord's birthday in a while. It is said that many people will come. The auction house is also preparing for a large-scale auction recently. "

Speaking of the auction house, Song Changsheng recalled the past when he helped the mysterious man bid for the auction in Liuyunfang City, and gained a lot of experience at that time.

"Is this auction bigger than the one in the market? You can come and have a look when the time comes." Song Changsheng secretly wrote down the matter, and then motioned to Song Qingluo to continue.

Song Qingluo thought for a while and then said: "Then there is only Tianyin Mountain."

"Tianyin Mountain, where is that?"

Seeing that he didn't know, the young man immediately introduced him with excitement: "Young Patriarch, this Tianyin Mountain is where the great city lord retreats, located in the center of Luoxia City.

The Lord of the City is the only fourth-level music lawyer in Daqi who is proficient in the art of music. His disciples are also good at music and often practice musical instruments in Tianyin Mountain.

Either playing the harp, blowing the xun, or percussing on the harp, etc., the sound of music spreads for miles, all day long.

Sometimes the great city lord would even play the piano himself, and many people would break through their own bottlenecks in the sound of the piano. The music would spread from one person to another, causing many people to gather at the foot of the mountain to practice. It has become a great spectacle in Luoxia City. "

Song Changsheng was stunned when he heard the words, and couldn't help but think of Zhuang Yuechan who had explored the cave with them. She was the disciple of the great city lord, and she was carrying a Yao Qin. The sound of the Qin was lingering and invisible.

But it's not even a bit worse than the big city lord. He has experienced it personally. A wisp of piano music can make him lose his mind. It's not surprising that it can help others break through.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuang is a local monk, and Daoist Zhu is also in Bianzhou, and there is also a swordsman who is suspected of being Daoist Xu. So, we all ended up in the same place again without knowing it.

The word fate is really wonderful. "Song Changsheng was filled with emotion, and he also became interested in Tianyin Mountain, and asked Song Qingluo to lead the way.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the foot of Tianyin Mountain. There were more than one mountain in the city, so you can imagine how big the city was.

Tianyin Mountain is about a thousand feet high, with lush vegetation, shrouded clouds and mist. The mountain is steep and majestic, like a sharp sword reaching into the sky.

In terms of height, Cangmang Peak is a few blocks ahead of it. In terms of spiritual energy concentration, Cangmang Peak is out of reach.

In the entire Daqi cultivation world, there are many fourth-level spiritual veins that can be counted on one hand, and one of them is at the foot of Tianyin Mountain for Jindan Daoist to practice.

As Song Qingluo said, there is endless vocal music on Tianyin Mountain all day long, and you can hear it from a long distance away. There are harps, pipa, Xiaodi, suona...

Although the sounds of the instruments are mixed, they are not messy, just like an ensemble, but the music is not very clear.

There are indeed a lot of people gathered at the foot of the mountain, about a few hundred, and among them you can even see the foundation-building monks, who are all sitting on the ground at this moment, closing their eyes and concentrating.

"The birthday banquet in a year's time should be held here. I wonder if I can see Fellow Daoist Zhuang." Song Changsheng looked along the ridge, feeling a little expectant in his heart.

Last time Niu Dazhuang took Zhuang Yuechan away in a hurry, and they didn't even leave any contact information between them, otherwise they could have called each other down the mountain to talk.

After stopping and listening for a while, Song Changsheng was about to turn around and leave. As soon as he took the first step, a melodious piano sound suddenly sounded, covering up the sounds of other instruments.

The sound of the piano was like a gurgling stream, melodious and melodious, making people feel relaxed and happy. Song Changsheng paused when he raised his steps. The sound of the piano sounded so familiar.

If his prediction was correct, the person playing the piano should be Zhuang Yuechan. Compared with a few years ago, her music and temperament had made rapid progress, and even he was slightly affected.

"I am afraid that Fellow Daoist Zhuang has become a second-level mid-level lawyer." Song Changsheng smiled. If it is confirmed that the unknown swordsman is Xu Yunhe, then the four who survived will have reached the foundation level.

They have experienced life and death together, and they are considered to be Song Changsheng's few friends. Seeing that their footsteps have not fallen, how can he be unhappy.

The road to eternal life is too lonely, and it is a great blessing in life to have a few friends to accompany you.

After a while, the song ended, Song Changsheng held his hands toward the top of the mountain, and then continued forward with Song Qingluo...

"Young Patriarch, do you know the person who plays the piano?" Song Qingluo asked curiously.

"He is indeed an old friend." Song Changsheng nodded.

A look of envy suddenly appeared on Song Qingluo's face. In his eyes, the city lord's disciple was an unattainable figure. He then asked with some confusion: "Isn't this your first time here?"

"She and I met in Lingzhou. At that time..." Song Changsheng briefly recounted the story.

"It's actually in Lingzhou. I've never even left the city." Song Qingluo looked at Song Changsheng with envy in his eyes. The young patriarch looked not much older than him, but he was already a foundation-building monk. And he had such a What a thrilling experience.

"Lingzhou is an excellent place. Although it is not as prosperous as Luoxia City, it is the root of our descendants of the Song family."

"Roots..." Song Qingluo was in a daze. His father had told him since he was a child that their roots were in Lingzhou and their home was in Cangmang Peak. However, he had never set foot on the land of Lingzhou since he was born.

"Young Patriarch, what kind of place is Cangmang Peak?"

"That is a place that carries the glory of the family. There..." Song Changsheng explained everything, talking about the Scripture Pavilion, the Council of Elders, and the family trials...

Song Qingluo's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into infinite longing, and said secretly: "According to my age, I should also participate in the trial in my family..."

The two of them were walking and chatting like this. Gradually, the number of people around them became more and more, and the sound gradually became noisier. You could vaguely hear the shouts of various people soliciting customers.

Song Qingluo immediately pointed forward happily and said: "Young Patriarch, the West Market is ahead."

Song Changsheng looked around and saw a huge square with countless street stalls. Many monks were walking through it, stopping to do some shopping from time to time. It was very lively.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's a good place to pick up leaks."
