Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Chapter 174 Qingxia
An ancient book records a symptom that is very similar to Xia Qingxue's current state. This symptom is nameless and can be understood as a protective mechanism when a person is severely injured.

When Xia Qingxue was hit by the third-level talisman of the pursuers, the flying boat she was driving turned into pieces on the spot. Although she relied on the treasure given by Jin Yang to withstand most of the damage, she still suffered heavy injuries.

Fortunately, Master Jin Yang once gave her a secret treasure, which teleported her away at the critical moment and landed her in a creek on the border of Lingzhou.

Xia Qingxue had already fallen into a coma before the teleportation, and her soul also entered this protective mechanism at that time, which allowed her to hold on for a breath, and was eventually rescued by Song Yushi and others passing by.

This protection mechanism is very mysterious. It may be possible to wake up in a few days, or it may be possible to wake up after the injury is recovered, but it may also be impossible to wake up for several years or even a lifetime.

Of course, since there are records of this symptom in ancient books, there are also more than one ways to solve it. The simplest method is to use "Star Soul Grass" to make an elixir and take it.

"Star Soul Grass" is a third-level low-grade elixir, which is quite rare. One of the reasons is its long growth cycle, and the main reason is that its growth environment is extremely harsh, and it must be found in a place with strong star power. may grow.

But this is nothing to the Song family. The Song family's inherited mental method is called "Refining the Moon Flower Sutra". One of the conditions for cultivation is to collect the power of stars, and for some reason, the power of stars is far away in the Wangyue Mountains. It is richer than other places, and it is very consistent with the Song family's spiritual heritage.

This is also the reason why Song Taiyi established the Song family in the Wangyue Mountains.

Although "Star Soul Grass" is rare, according to Song Changsheng's knowledge, there should be some stocks in the family treasury and also planted in the medicine garden. After all, Cangmang Peak is the place with the strongest star power in the entire Wangyue Mountain Range.

Seeing this, Song Changsheng immediately sent someone to find Song Luzhou and asked impatiently: "Fifth uncle, is there any third-level low-grade Star Soul Grass in the family treasure house?"

Song Luzhou's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said warily: "Why do you ask this?"

Every third-level elixir in the family is unique and must not be used easily. It is comparable to Song Luzhou's lifeblood. Song Changsheng naturally aroused his vigilance as soon as he opened his mouth. He did not want to lose his lifeblood without paying attention.

When Song Changsheng saw this, how could he not understand what his fifth uncle, the Iron Rooster, was thinking? He directly placed the ancient book in front of Song Luzhou and said in a serious voice:
"Fifth Uncle, this is the key to awakening Xia Qingxue. You also know the current situation in Daqi's cultivation world. The Golden Crow Sect and Tianmai Sect may fight against each other at any time. Although Lingzhou is located in a remote place, we are all Golden Crow in name. A vassal of the clan.

Once the two sects start a war, the family will not be able to stay out of it, and they will have to accept the call.

If we want our people to avoid bloodshed, we must wake up Xia Qingxue before the war begins, tell her the mastermind behind the attack on them, and completely remove the family from this matter.

Compared to the lives of the family's children, a spiritual medicine is nothing. "

Song Luzhou's face kept changing, and finally he sighed heavily and said: "There is indeed a third-level low-grade Star Soul Grass in the family treasury. It was harvested in the early spring of this year. It was originally reserved for Lu Tong to temper his body. , now I have no choice but to wrong him."

"It seems that this matter still exists. It seems that I can only feel sorry for my clan uncle." Song Changsheng did not expect that this was left to Song Lutong, but the most important thing now is to prevent the two sects from fighting, and he can only compensate him afterwards.

"What kind of elixir do you want to refine with the Star Soul Grass?"

"A third-level low-grade elixir called [Soul Awakening Pill], so Uncle Lao Wu has to worry about it."

Song Luzhou's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said angrily: "You brat is really going to give me a hard time. I can only refine the second-level top-grade elixir now. If I want to refine the third-level low-grade elixir, I have to hire a third-level elixir." The alchemist takes action and gets another large amount of spiritual stones!"

"As long as we can prevent the war between the two sects, it doesn't matter if we spend a few spiritual stones. Besides, we have saved Xia Qingxue's life. There is no way she will not admit it when she wakes up. We can't lose on this deal, so don't worry."

Song Changsheng smiled and comforted and said that he could understand Song Luzhou. The family's finances have not been generous in recent years, and every resource needs to be calculated carefully.

But there is no way to lose this deal. Even if there is no material reward, Xia Qingxue owes the Song family a favor.

That was the direct disciple of Jindan Zhenren. As long as he didn't die on the way, his status in the Golden Crow Sect would definitely be high in the future, and the weight of her favor was not low.

"Wait for my news." Hearing what Song Changsheng said, Song Luzhou's face brightened slightly, and he realized that firewood and rice were expensive, as long as he didn't make a loss-making business.

After Song Luzhou left, Song Changsheng finally let go of his worries and began to prepare for the family competition in a while. The rules, procedures, rewards, etc. of the competition were all waiting for him to plan.

------

Time passed by and it was the day of the Song family competition.

In the martial arts field on the mountainside, a huge arena had already been set up. Almost all the Song clan members on Cangmang Peak gathered here, and many of them came back from other places.

In addition to the members of the Song family, more than a dozen cultivation families of various sizes scattered in the Wangyue Mountains were also invited by the Song family to watch the ceremony.

The largest of these Qi-training families have hundreds of monks, while the smaller ones only have one or twenty people. This strength is simply not enough in the eyes of the Foundation-building monks.

However, the successive patriarchs of the Song family have never ignored their role. These families are tied together, and there are nearly a thousand monks at any rate. Whether they are used as cannon fodder in wartime or in other ways, they are very good choices.

In addition to them, the leaders of two demon hunting teams were also invited, including Song Changsheng's old acquaintance Shangguan Jian.

The above are all vassals of the Song family, commonly known as Ma Zai, and cannot be promoted to the public.

In theory, the Wang family and the Li family are more important as allies.

The Wang family sent Wang Wanzhou, an old acquaintance of Song Changsheng who had been very kind to him, and the Li family sent the clan leader Li Siyang, who gave Song family enough face.

Seeing that the time was almost up and the surrounding auditorium was already full, Song Changsheng led the Song family's leadership team to the stage.

In fact, apart from him, there were only Song Luzhou, Xia Yunxue and a few respected clan elders.

Their positions were arranged at the front. Song Changsheng, as the master, sat at the main seat, while Wang Wanzhou and Li Siyang were arranged on both sides of him.

Song Changsheng was not an arrogant person. Wang Wanzhou was somewhat related to him and was very kind to him. Although he had not seen him for many years, he was always grateful. He quickly stepped forward to pay his respects and said, "I didn't expect that it was the senior who came in person. , this junior is rude."

"Hahaha, the Song and Wang families are like brothers and we are one. Young Patriarch Song is too polite." Wang Wanzhou stroked his beard lightly and smiled boldly.

He could feel Song Changsheng's sincere respect for him from the bottom of his heart, which made him very happy. He had not misjudged this young man, and it was not in vain to help him in the first place. "Clan Master Song's famous name is Li. I finally got a chance to meet him today. He is truly a genius."

Li Siyang looks like a very elegant and easy-going middle-aged man. He doesn't look like a monk, but more like a scholar.

This person's relationship is much closer than that of Wang Wanzhou. One of his aunts is married to Song Xianming, Song Changsheng's grandmother.

After all, he still wanted to call him cousin.

"You're exaggerating. I just got lucky and made a name for myself." Song Changsheng replied humbly.

Li Siyang smiled, pulled over a young man who looked a little careless and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Quanzi Hengzong."

"Dad, this is not the first time that the young patriarch and I have met. What else do you want to introduce?" Li Hengzong looked like he was in need of a beating, and Li Siyang's old face suddenly darkened.

Song Changsheng smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I would also like to thank Brother Hengzong for helping me in the secret realm that day."

"Hey, I'm kidding. I was originally unhappy with the people at Dihuomen." Li Hengzong responded carelessly, making his old father frown.

When Wang Wanzhou saw this, he pushed someone out and said with a smile: "This is my granddaughter Qian Qian, you guys have met her before."

Song Changsheng turned around and found that she was also an acquaintance in Wutong Secret Realm. Compared with back then, she had become more graceful. Although not as good as Xia Qingxue and Xia Wanyun, she was still a rare beauty.

The two had only met each other before, without even speaking to each other. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be Wang Wanzhou's granddaughter.

Wang Qianqian's cheeks turned red, he bowed to Song Changsheng and whispered softly: "My little sister has met my cousin."

"We haven't seen each other for many years. My cousin has also broken through the foundation building. Congratulations." Because of Wang Wanzhou's relationship, Song Changsheng had a better impression of her.

Li Siyang on the side was very envious. Someone once rated each of the six major foundation-building forces in Lingzhou as the number one genius of the younger generation.

Zhang Zhiyuan from the Dihuo Sect, Qiu Wenwu from the Qiu family, Yu Xueqian from the Yu family, Wang Qianqian from the Wang family, Li Hengzong from the Li family, and Song Changsheng from the Song family.

Now, Zhang Zhiyuan has died in the hands of Song Changsheng. Qiu Wenwu, Yu Xueqian, and Wang Qianqian have all broken through the foundation building. Song Changsheng is even more abnormal and can compete with the older generation of monks.

Only Li Hengzong is still stuck in Qi Qi Dzogchen. Looking at his nonchalant look, Li Siyang wants to beat him to death. How could he have such a son who doesn't seek to improve.

"It would be great if you were a daughter." Li Siyang glanced at Wang Qianqian, then at Li Hengzong who was looking around, and sighed deeply.

Song Changsheng chatted with a few people for a while. Seeing that the time was almost up, he came to the sky above the martial arts field with his sword, and using his spiritual power, he said loudly: "The time has come. The Song family competition has officially begun. The first thing to be done is the future." For the adult group, I will announce the rules of the competition next.”

Everyone present immediately became quiet after hearing this, and the huge martial arts arena seemed quiet.

“This competition is one-on-one, and the opponents are determined by drawing lots. Those who draw the same number will form a group and compete in the ring.

During the competition, you cannot use powers that do not belong to you, such as high-level magic weapons, talismans, etc., but the talisman master can use the talismans drawn by himself, the formation master can also use formations, and so on.

During the fight, as long as one party admits defeat and withdraws from the ring, it will be considered a failure. After admitting defeat, it cannot continue to attack, nor can it hurt the lives of others. Violators will be severely punished!
The top 24 in this competition will all receive a bottle of [Qi Gathering Pill] and [-] contribution points as a reward, and the top [-] will receive an additional two bottles of [Qi Gathering Pill] and [-] contribution points.

The top six will receive an additional [Quenching Pill] and one hundred contribution points.The top three will be awarded a [Marrow Cleansing Pill], and an additional [-], [-], or [-] contribution points will be awarded based on the ranking! "

As soon as Song Changsheng finished speaking, the children of the Song family suddenly let out loud shouts, and the qualified contestants were also gearing up and couldn't wait.

"The reward is very generous." Wang Wanzhou was a little surprised. You must know that these are all underage disciples and they are all still enjoying their family's salary. Such a reward is already very generous.

Song Luzhou on the side suddenly turned black when he heard this, and his heart was bleeding. According to his idea, at least half of these rewards must be cut off.

Song Changsheng had just returned to his seat, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard this. He took a lot of effort to get this out of Song Luzhou's mouth. After all, they are all members of the same family, and the wealth should not be transferred to outsiders.

"Now please invite all the players to start drawing lots." A gray-haired clan elder walked onto the ring with a large lottery tube. Players lined up to draw lots. Song Changsheng saw Song Qingxi at a glance.

She casually smoked one. Song Changsheng glanced at it and was a little surprised. She was the only one who was alone, which meant that she had a bye this round. This little girl was pretty lucky.

On the contrary, Song Qingxi was a little discouraged. She wanted to try other people's skills, but she got a bye.

If other people knew what Song Qingxi was thinking, they would definitely burst into tears. Don’t give me the chance to win!
Soon the first competition began. They were two unattractive little guys. They were both in the early stages of Qi training and were at the bottom. Their fighting experience was also average. The whole audience was "noobs pecking each other".

The next few performances were like this, nothing outstanding, and the audience was left feeling sleepy.

But in the tenth game, an eye-catching girl appeared. Holding a three-foot green blade, she defeated an older monk of the same realm in just five rounds. She struck sharply and without delay. , making all the foundation-building monks nod secretly, this is the one with the best talent so far.

Song Changsheng called a deacon and said, "Who was that little girl who won just now?"

The deacon had been prepared for a long time and said quickly: "Report to the Young Patriarch. Her name is Qingxia. She is 16 years old. She has both gold and fire spiritual roots and is at the fifth level of Qi training."

"Qingxia." Song Changsheng secretly remembered this name in his heart. Without any resources, the fifth level of Qi training at the age of 16 was already very good.

Moreover, what Song Changsheng valued was not her training speed, but her talent in swordsmanship. Although it was not as good as Song Qingxing, it was not far behind.

If nothing else happens, she should be able to advance into the top ten, maybe even the top five.

This made him very happy. Isn't the purpose of the family competition just to select talents?
