Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Chapter 171 Resolutions
Everyone's eyes fell on Song Changsheng, waiting for his final decision.

There is no need to elaborate on the value of a top-quality spiritual weapon. The entire Lingzhou can count them on one hand. Even the Song family, which has hundreds of years of foundation, only has three.

Although the Song family has a more precious magic weapon, until the next great monk of the Zi Mansion appears, the magic weapon is basically a decoration, and its effect is not as good as a top-quality spiritual weapon.

The [Heaven-Shielding Umbrella] that Song Luzhou was talking about was the natal spiritual weapon of Song Yunhan, the previous patriarch of the family. It had been kept in the family treasure house, and even the great elder Song Xianyun had not given it to him.

But now, Song Luzhou actually advocated handing over this spiritual weapon to Song Luke who was far away in Central Continent. The pressure suddenly came to Song Changsheng's shoulders. He knew that he had to make a choice.

In terms of value, a top-quality spiritual weapon can be exchanged for several [Foundation Building Pills], which can give the Song family another chance when encountering major changes.

Considering the current situation, the news of Song Xianming's recovery has pushed the family to the forefront. The Song family will inevitably face many open and secret attacks. At a critical moment, a top-quality spiritual weapon can even have the effect of turning the world around.

But from a long-term perspective, if this spiritual weapon can help Song Luke achieve the Purple Mansion, the Song family will be richly rewarded.

After all, the Song family's ancestry is also the old Jindan family, which is three points more powerful than the Jinwu sect. Logically speaking, [Wangyue Song family] hugged such a thick thigh, not to mention soaring into the sky, at least it became more and more powerful. The better, right?
But why has [Wangyue Song Family] declined in recent years?

It's not because there is "no one in the court". No one can speak in the ancestral line, which ultimately leads to complete marginalization.

If Song Luke can achieve Zifu, he will be able to touch the inner circle of the ancestral lineage. If nothing else, at least the [Foundation Establishment Pill] will not be stuck.

Moreover, the Song family can also use his power to pacify Lingzhou and achieve better development, and even have an extra guarantee when Song Xianming breaks through Zifu!
It can be said that there are many benefits.

Of course, all of the above is based on the premise that Song Luke can break through the Zi Mansion. If he fails, he will lose his wife and troops, and everything will be over.

Facing the fork in the road of life, Song Changsheng remained silent. What he faced at this moment was a choice that could affect the future of his family.

Rationally speaking, Song Changsheng should refuse, because the risk involved is too high. Ten [Yin Yang Purple Tree Hearts] may seem like a lot, but in fact, for an ancestral lineage that has developed for thousands of years and has over [-] monks, it is not. many.

Song Changsheng didn't think that Song Luke, as an "outsider", could compete with those direct clan members, even if he had an additional top-quality spiritual weapon. The hope was really slim.

But from a personal emotional point of view, Song Changsheng could not find a reason to refuse.

Song Luke was brought to his ancestral lineage when he was eight years old, but he has never forgotten where his "roots" are. Over the years, he has been working tirelessly to fight for the interests of his family.

In the war 20 years ago, the Song family suffered heavy losses. He used his savings to purchase a batch of resources and sent them back to the family, helping the Song family regain their strength, but he never asked for anything in return.

He also convinced the elders of the ancestral line to give the family time to recuperate. During this period, the family did not need to make sacrifices or send outstanding clan members into the ancestral line.

Because of this, the Song family was able to get out of the trough so quickly.

Although he didn't say how it was done, he could tell by looking at it with his toes how much it cost.

"If grandpa were here, what would he do?"

After a moment of silence, Song Changsheng raised his head and said: "Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we cannot give up. I agree to hand over the [Heaven-shading Umbrella] to Uncle Lu Ke."

After saying these words, Song Changsheng suddenly felt relaxed all over.

Everyone present had different expressions. Some clan elders thought this decision was too hasty, while others felt that Song Changsheng acted decisively and had the same demeanor as Song Xianming back then.

But no matter what they thought, they had no intention of standing up to oppose it because they had no reason to oppose it.

The best choice may not be the right one.

Everyone knows that [Sky Umbrella] can only produce the greatest benefits if it stays within the clan, but family interests are important, but they cannot only focus on profits, because they are a family!

A touch of excitement appeared on Song Yushi's face. She was already prepared to be rejected, but the reality was beyond her expectation.

She bowed solemnly to everyone present and said, "Thank you so much, Young Patriarch, and thank you all the elders."

Xia Yunxue held her hand and said with a smile: "We are all a family, it doesn't have to be like this."

"Well, thank you, Auntie." The tip of Song Yushi's nose felt sour, and a crystal light flickered in the corner of her eyes.

"Mom, Sister Clan, they are tired from traveling and traveling, and they have experienced another fight. I have asked someone to arrange a room. You can take her down to rest first."

Xia Yunxue nodded and said: "Okay."

After she took Song Yushi's hand and left, Song Changsheng looked at everyone and said, "Elders, do you have anything else you would like to add?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a clan elder stood up and said: "Young clan leader, I am not dissatisfied with your decision, but should such an important matter be reported to the clan leader and the great elder before making a decision?"

"Yes, is it a little hasty for the young clan leader to do this?" Another clan elder quickly agreed.

Song Luyao, who had been watching with cold eyes, snorted coldly and said: "Now the patriarch is in seclusion, and the elder has been severely injured and has not recovered. According to the clan rules, the young clan leader has the right to temporarily exercise the power of the clan leader with the assistance of the family elders council.

If someone thinks that the young patriarch's decision is unreasonable, they can question it. Since you have opinions, why didn't you object just now? "

As soon as these words came out, the two people just shut up instantly.

Song Changsheng looked around and saw that no one expressed any further opinions and said: "Then this matter is settled. I will explain it to grandpa personally after he comes out of isolation.

Next, we need to decide the ownership of the three [Foundation Building Pills] sent by the clan sister. It has been so many years late, and we can no longer wait. We must convert them into combat power as soon as possible. This is when the family is short of manpower. . "

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became subtle. There were only three [Foundation Establishment Pills], but there were many people waiting to use them. Everyone had a few juniors they loved, and everyone had selfish motives.

Song Luzhou said in time: "I have already seen it. These three [Foundation Building Pills] are of extremely high quality. They can at least increase the chance of breakthrough by half compared to ordinary ones. We need to choose a distribution method that maximizes their value." .”

"Uncle Wu, do you have any good suggestions?"

Song Luzhou did not answer, but looked at Song Luyao and said, "Jiu Mei, how many members of the family are currently qualified to take the [Foundation Building Pill]?"

"There are 60 clan members under the age of 18 who have gathered Dao foundation, and there are about three people who can gather Dao foundation within a year." Song Luyao knew the family's situation well and answered immediately.

"In other words, there are almost twenty people. I think we can hold a trial and use the [Foundation Building Pill] as the reward for the top three." Song Luzhou decided to let them speak with their fists. This is the fairest.

"The strongest is not necessarily the best. The most important thing to break through the foundation building is the qualifications. Moreover, it is unfair to those clansmen who are only one step away from the perfection of Qi training." A clan elder stood up and retorted. road.

In his opinion, although they both practice Qi Dzogchen, can a 20-year-old be the same as a 50-year-old?Qualifications are the most important thing.

He has a grandson who is already at the ninth level of Qi training when he is only 20 years old. As long as he is given a few years to gather the Dao foundation, his breakthrough success rate is definitely higher than those monks who only broke through to the Great Perfection of Qi training when they were decades old. .

Someone immediately refuted his point of view: "If you want to gather the Dao foundation at the ninth level of Qi training, even with the full support of the family, it will take at least two or three years. Plus the one to two years needed for a breakthrough, this is five years." Year, how can the family waste so much time?" "Yes, although it is a bit unfair to them, but now the family does not have enough manpower, it is impossible to give them too much time." Song Changsheng also expressed his position at this time, his goal is Digest these [Foundation Building Pills] within two years.

Hearing this, the clan elder had no choice but to sit back angrily.

"How about choosing based on the family's contribution like last time?" Another clan elder suggested.

"I think it depends on your age. Although the best age for foundation building is within 60 years old, there are differences in different age groups. The highest success rate is within 30 years old."

"I think we still need to comprehensively consider temperament, qualifications, contributions, etc."

"The old man thinks..."

……

For a time, everyone held their own opinions and argued fiercely. They all thought that their own way was the fairest, and no one could convince anyone.

The meeting went on until late at night, but still no decision was made.

Song Changsheng finally couldn't stand it anymore. He knocked on the table to signal everyone to calm down and said, "Everyone's method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Let's vote according to the old rules."

According to the clan rules, when there are differences of opinion, the elders can vote, and the one with the highest number of votes will be chosen. The clan elders have one vote, the elders have two votes, and the clan leader has three votes.

Soon, the results of everyone's voting came out, and the two plans "respect the strong" and "qualification first" tied for first place.

The only person at the scene who did not vote was Song Changsheng. Everyone's eyes were once again focused on him, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Song Changsheng had almost no hesitation and directly voted for Song Luzhou. After all, this is still a world where the strong are respected, and qualifications cannot explain all the problems.

The result was already obvious. Song Luzhou's plan won with a slight advantage. Although some people were dissatisfied, the deal was done and no one could change it.

"Okay, that's settled, but I think that since we are going to hold a group competition, we might as well expand the scope and hold a family competition." Song Changsheng looked around and expressed his thoughts.

"However, the family competition has always been for young clan members, so the gap is too big."

Song Changsheng nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, this family competition will be divided into three stages.

All minors are the first team.

Those above and below the age of 30 who have not reached the Great Perfection of Qi training are in one arena.

The last arena is open to people under the age of 60 who practice Qi Dzogchen. The top three in each arena will be competed and awarded. "

"This arrangement is very reasonable, I think it is okay." Song Luyao directly expressed support.

The rest of the clan elders did not object. After all, this was not a bad thing. On the contrary, it could select outstanding clan members.

Only Song Luzhou's face turned a little dark. Originally, according to his idea, the top three in the competition would be directly rewarded with [Foundation Building Pill], but looking at Song Changsheng's arrangement, the family had to bleed again.

"You brat, you spend money lavishly." He was dissatisfied, so he complained in his heart and did not express any objection.

Strictly speaking, today was the first time that Song Changsheng exercised his power on behalf of the clan leader. What they had to do was to support him and help him establish his prestige, rather than jump out and speak against him.

"Since everyone has no objections, it has been decided that the competition will be held in one month." Song Changsheng said with finality.

"Do we need to invite outside forces to watch?" A clan elder asked. This is a good opportunity to show off our muscles to the outside world. In the past, we had to invite the Dihuo Sect and others to watch.

Song Changsheng thought for a while and said, "Just invite the Wang family, the Li family and the family's affiliated families."

"understood."

------

After the meeting, Song Changsheng ordered people to make an announcement to allow eligible tribesmen to start making preparations, but he deliberately concealed the news that the reward for the competition was the [Foundation Building Pill].

Song Changsheng didn't want to make this news public for the time being. The Dihuo Sect had been a bit too quiet recently, which was not in line with common sense, so he planned to keep it a secret.

So he just gathered all the qualified Qi-practicing Dzogchen monks together, gave them hints, and asked them to go all out.

For a time, the Song family was gearing up and down, secretly working hard, planning to make a splash in the competition...

Small green mountains, small islands in the middle of the lake.

Song Qingxing, with black hair shawl, sat quietly under the green plum tree, with an ancient long sword lying across his knees, and the spiritual energy around him surged towards him involuntarily.

"Swish"

A huge paper kite crossed the big lake and landed lightly on the island. A girl in a blue dress jumped down lightly from the kite's back.

Song Qingxing slowly opened his eyes, and the sharp sword energy flashed from his eyes. He looked at the youthful girl and said calmly: "You're back?"

"Yes, but I'm exhausted. Fortunately, this is the last time this year. I'll just wait for the harvest later." Song Qingxi put away the kite and said in a relaxed tone.

"You seem very happy?" Song Qingxing quickly discovered something strange about the girl.

"Oh, that's good. You can actually see it. Then guess why I'm happy." Song Qingxi held her pretty face in her hands, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.

Song Qingxing just looked at her indifferently, unmoved.

After a while, Song Qingxi was discouraged. The wood was still wood, so she could only roll her eyes and said, "The old man at the bottom of the mountain told me that my uncle is back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Qingxing stood up immediately.

"What are you doing?"

"Go back to Cangmang Peak." Song Qingxi said concisely.

"Ah? Hey, wait for me."
