Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Chapter 226: Temporary acting as clan leader, Xianming retreats

Just after the war, the Song family once again climbed out of the abyss, and its 500-year-old legacy was passed down. This was gratifying, but it was far from the time to relax.

After the war, all that was left in Cangmang Peak was devastation and a troublesome mess.

Now that the great elder has been seriously injured and is in critical condition, the clan leader is in a coma from exhaustion, and has suddenly lost two of its pillars, the Song family has entered the most critical moment in the past five hundred years, and there is a risk of overthrowing if one is not careful.

In desperation, Song Changsheng, who had just returned from Xuzhou, had to stand up and take the lead.

He took the lead in taking over the control of the clan protection formation, and then mobilized a batch of spiritual stones from the treasure house to replenish the energy consumed by the [Black Starship].

Now that Song Xianming has not woken up, this quasi-celestial ship is the most powerful combat force of the Song family at present, so it must be ensured that it is always in peak condition.

Afterwards, he sent out all the spies from Fengyu Palace, not only to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation, but also to find out the current situation in Lingzhou.

He also asked his mother Xia Yunxue to lead the remaining law enforcement disciples to collect the corpses of the clan members, clean the battlefield, and count the war losses. It was already the next day that the whole process was completed.

Immediately afterwards, Song Changsheng held a high-level family meeting without stopping...

In the meeting hall of the General Affairs Hall.

Song Changsheng stared with a pair of red and swollen eyes, looking very haggard, but he still managed to gather his energy and said in a hoarse voice: "The clan meeting will begin now. Today's topic is mainly about the post-war settlement. Please speak freely."

Since the clan leader and the great elder were unconscious, Song Luyao and Song Luhuai died, and Song Changxuan guarded the mortal world, only a few people including Song Luzhou, Xia Yunxue, Song Lutong, and Song Changan were present at the meeting.

The backbone of the Song family suffered heavy losses.

After hearing Song Changsheng's words, Song Luzhou, as the eldest and highest-ranking elder among the elders present, slowly stood up. His figure was much thinner than before, and he looked around at the crowd and said:

“Although the family won this battle, it was a miserable victory.

After statistics, fifty-eight members of the Qi Lian clan died, 19 were seriously injured, and 129 were slightly injured. The third elder Song Luyao and the fourth elder Song Luhuai died one after another, and the first elder was seriously injured.

One of the holes in the clan-protecting formation was broken, and more than half of the formation base was damaged and needed to be repaired. The third-level spiritual veins are also greatly depleted, and it will take at least ten years to recover.

It consumes one third-order medium-grade attack talisman, two third-order low-grade attack talismans, five second-order top-grade attack talismans, and nearly thirty second-order talismans.

Materials such as elixirs and array flags are useless..."

Data came out of Song Luzhou's mouth one after another, and his heart was bleeding. All the little information his family had accumulated over the past twenty years was lost in one battle.

After his words fell, everyone's hearts were heavy. Compared with the loss of materials, the loss of talents was more heartbreaking.

The casualties in this battle were close to 200 people. For the Song family with a small population, this was undoubtedly a painful blow and it would take a long time to recover.

Among the two deceased elders, Song Luyao was a late-stage foundation-building monk, and Song Luhuai was a mid-stage foundation-building monk. However, he was the only second-level high-grade talisman master in his family.

Fu Lu has always been the family's shortcoming. Song Luhuai died and the family had no successor. The loss caused is incalculable.

After Song Luzhou finished speaking, Xia Yunxue continued: "The battlefield has been cleaned. It is roughly estimated that nearly twenty second-level demon wolves and nearly a thousand first-level demon wolves were killed in this battle, and a large amount of fur, teeth, and claws were harvested.

The most valuable among them are the demon elixir, fur, bones and other materials from the big demon.

In addition, the cultivation families in the Wangyue Mountains also suffered a devastating blow, suffering heavy losses and leaving a large number of spiritual mountains and mineral veins vacant..."

After she reported the results of this battle, Song Lutong said angrily: "The spies came back with news that the war between Wuling Sect and Liuyun Sect has not yet been decided. What should we do next?"

After listening to everyone's reports, Song Changsheng felt like his head was going to explode. These were all things that required him to make decisions.

After thinking for a moment, Song Changsheng said in a deep voice: "Let's put aside the Liuyun Mountains for now. The family's top priority now is to treat the wounded and repair the clan protection formation. I am responsible for this.

In order to protect their homeland, the tribesmen sacrificed their lives and blood, and the family could not forget their contributions. They must provide compensation and rewards in accordance with the clan rules. This was left to my mother.

The backbone of the family has suffered heavy losses in combat power and needs to be replenished immediately. This is left to the fifth uncle. Please use the third-level demon elixir to refine the elixir immediately. All the resources of the family are at your disposal.

The family has suffered heavy losses in this battle. We must prevent Xiaoxiao's people from taking the opportunity to cause chaos. Uncle Lu Tong will temporarily lead the law enforcement hall to inspect the family and punish lawbreakers..."

Song Changsheng quickly arranged the next things. After everyone took their orders and left, he sat alone in the meeting hall and was silent for a long time, and then he gathered his energy and rushed to the Baiyi Palace.

Currently, all the injured members of the family are placed in the Baiyi Palace. As soon as Song Changsheng stepped in, he smelled a strong smell of medicine and the pungent smell of blood.

All the doctors and alchemists in the family were mobilized, but the number was still too small. Everyone was so busy that they hit the back of their heads and wished they could grow eight hands.

Song Changsheng did not alert them and went straight to Song Xianyun's bed. His injuries were the most serious and he was still unconscious.

Seeing the elder who had always loved him lying on the couch angrily, Song Changsheng's eyes felt a little sore. He held his withered palm, and a burst of green light appeared, and the room was suddenly filled with life.

Having mastered [Light of Resurgence], he can treat injuries more quickly and conveniently.

After half an hour of treatment, Song Xianyun's condition was much better than before, and his frown was relaxed a little, but he was still in a coma.

At this point, Song Changsheng was powerless. After all, secret skills were not limited, and the rest had to be nursed back to health with medicine.

After lighting a furnace of [Soothing Incense] for him, Song Changsheng slowly retreated and came to Song Xianming's room.

The old man was not seriously injured, but was in a coma due to excessive consumption. Song Changsheng had no choice but to inject a little spiritual power into him, and then went to treat the other wounded.

At the end of the day, Song Changsheng was exhausted physically and mentally, but he couldn't rest yet, so he returned to the General Affairs Hall to deal with the accumulated general affairs.

The one on top was handed over by Song Luzhou. He applied to collect a batch of elixirs from the treasure house. Song Changsheng knew at a glance that these were auxiliary medicines for refining the [Foundation Building Pill] and were valuable. With a wave of his pen, , and agreed directly.

At present, the family really needs to train new foundation-building monks.

Fortunately, a demon pill was seized this time, which can be used to refine the [Foundation Building Pill].

Using Demon Pill as the main medicine, the quality of the medicine is slightly inferior to that of the three major elixirs of [Foundation Building Fruit], [Dragon Blood Ginseng] and [Quenching Star Fruit].

But for future considerations, Song Changsheng only allowed Song Luzhou to use the demon pill to refine it. Although there is a pill recipe, Song Luzhou has never refined the [Foundation Building Pill] before, so no one knows how much it can be made this time.

To measure whether an alchemist's skills are superb, in addition to the quality of the elixir, quantity is also a major criterion.

From one set of materials, you need to refine three elixirs to get started.

Song Changsheng's mental expectation was three, which was exactly the same as the material value.

The second one was handed over by Xia Yunxue. Regarding the pensions and rewards for the family monks, the total amount would cost at least 100,000 spiritual stones.

For the current Song family, this is a huge expenditure.

But Song Changsheng didn't hesitate and agreed directly. Whether it was for morale or popular support, the money had to be spent.

But then he started to have a headache again. As soon as the money was spent, more than half of the supplies and spiritual stones he had obtained from the four alliances had been consumed.

Next, repairing the magic circle, nourishing the spiritual veins, etc. will cost a lot of money.

Song Changsheng couldn't help but put down his pen and slumped on his seat. Money, money is needed everywhere, where can he get this money?

"Those monster materials are quite valuable. If they can be realized, they would be worth no less than 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones. However, Luoxia City is still surrounded by monsters and the market is gone. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it in a while."

Song Changsheng sighed in his heart. If this batch of monster materials could not be sold now, the value of the monster materials would be greatly depreciated by the time Luoxia City repels the beast tide. This was something he could not accept in his heart.

At this moment, he had an idea and took out a silver plaque from his arms. This was given to him by Peng Siying on the black market. Not only could he get help from the Bandung Chamber of Commerce, but he could also enjoy a 30% discount.

"Yes, why don't I go to the Bandung Chamber of Commerce?" Playing with the VIP card in his hand, Song Changsheng suddenly felt enlightened. With the size of the Bandung Chamber of Commerce, eating this amount of material is a piece of cake.

But the only problem now is that the latest branch of the Bandung Chamber of Commerce is in Yuanzhou, thousands of miles away. He now needs to take charge of the family and cannot leave lightly.

As for the rest of the people who were not cultivated enough, he was worried, so he could only hold back for the time being and wait until he was free to go...

Before dawn, Song Changsheng took the few remaining formation mages of the family to repair the clan protection formation. It was said to be repairing, but in fact it was just patching.

After all, it is a third-level mid-level formation, and their formation skills are not enough...

Song Changsheng was like a winding top, spinning continuously for three days, carrying the family's banner almost by himself, which made him physically and mentally exhausted, and his whole person suffered a lot.

On this day, a person brought him exciting news.

The person who reported the news was named Song Qinghua. He was only twenty-five years old, but he was already a first-class alchemist. He was the person with the best alchemy talent among the younger generation. He was usually taking care of the unconscious Song Xianming.

Song Qinghua was dressed in white, with a sense of arrogance between his brows. He kept his gaze steady along the way, and came to the General Affairs Hall to pay homage to Song Changsheng and said, "To the young patriarch, the patriarch is awake."

Song Changsheng, who was busy writing, was shocked. This was really the best news he had heard in the past few days. He quickly stopped what he was doing and followed Song Qinghua to the Baiyi Palace...

Song Xianming had already gotten out of bed. He was listening to a deacon reporting to him about the family situation. His eyes were a little red, and he had obviously shed tears.

Seeing Song Changsheng coming, he waved his hand to ask the deacon to step back, and then sighed and said: "Fortunately, you came back in time, otherwise, the family would be in danger."

Song Changsheng was a little silent when he heard this, and then said sadly: "My grandson only regrets that he did not fight side by side with the clan during the family's crisis. If I had come back earlier, Ninth Aunt and Eleventh Uncle might not have..."

"Ah... Shi Ye's fate, what does it have to do with you? I just hate that I am not strong enough. If I had the cultivation level of Zifu, how could I let that beast be so cruel!" Song Xianming said in a hateful voice.

Song Changsheng could only remain silent. This battle really came at the wrong time.

"I have some insights from this battle. Soon I will be in seclusion. Life or death will be unpredictable. The family will be in your hands. I know all your arrangements. You have done a good job. The family is in your hands." In his hands, Grandpa is very relieved."

Song Xianming patted Song Changsheng on the shoulder, and his tone was full of relief. The young boy before had finally grown into a towering tree and could take on heavier responsibilities.

"My grandson will definitely live up to your entrustment." Song Changsheng did not hesitate this time. The family really needed a Zifu monk, but he could not help Song Xianming. What he could do now was to take care of the family so that it would not have any problems. No worries.

Song Xianming nodded with satisfaction and took out two things from his storage bag, a net and an emerald green soft whip.

"[Luotian Net] I have re-refined it for you, and the grade is barely maintained at the mid-grade spiritual weapon. And this soft whip, named [Demon Binding Rope], is the vine of the law spirit fruit you brought back. It is refined from strips and is a third-level low-grade product.

Because the material is special, quite spiritual, and good for health, when you break through the Purple Mansion in the future, you can sacrifice it and refine it into a magic weapon.

I know you have many treasures on your body, but you must remember that the treasures are only for help, and you must not put the cart before the horse and waste your cultivation..." Song Xianming rambled on in a thoughtful manner, as if he was arranging his own funeral arrangements.

Song Changsheng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and solemnly raised his hands and said, "My grandson, please remember this."

Song Xianming nodded, and then said sadly: "You will host the funerals of Lu Yao and Lu Huai on my behalf. They will be very happy under Jiuquan."

Hearing this, Song Changsheng only felt a little tight in his chest. These two elders loved him the most and treated him like a son. But now the yin and yang were separated, and they couldn't even leave their corpses behind.

"My grandson... I obey." Song Changsheng lowered his head and bowed...

After finishing the posthumous matters, Song Xianming formally held a meeting, announced a retreat, and attacked the Zi Mansion.

During this period, Song Changsheng would temporarily act as the clan leader and take charge of all family affairs. If unfortunately he failed to break through, Song Changsheng would officially succeed the clan leader and lead the family to move forward.

Everyone was dissatisfied with his decision. After all, Song Changsheng's ability was obvious to all. Moreover, within the family, his prestige was second only to Song Xianming's, and everyone in the family was willing to obey his orders.

Two days after Song Xianming went into seclusion, Song Changsheng informed the entire clan to officially hold a funeral for Song Luyao, Song Luhuai and the clansmen who died during the war...
