Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Chapter 234: The pots are full and the foundation building pill is completed

Although the auction is over, there are still many people who have not left, most of them are wandering monks. For these wandering monks who have no fixed place to live, Fangshi is a good place to stay.

Therefore, Song Changsheng did not withdraw the defense forces from Fangshi, and the high-level family meeting was held directly in the town's mansion.

Apart from Song Changsheng, the only other attendees were Xia Yunxue, Song Lutong, and Song Changan.

Xia Yunxue is still responsible for the family's current finances, so she stood up first to report to everyone: "The family auction will be held within three days.

The family auctioned a total of 387 items and obtained a total of 380,000 low-grade spiritual stones, of which 20,000 low-grade spiritual stones were commissioned by others as a pure profit.

Of the remaining 360,000 spiritual stones, 130,000 were sold to major spiritual mountains and mineral veins, which was also a net profit.

The remaining 230,000 spirit stones were transferred from the family treasury. After deducting the cost of 110,000 spirit stones, the profit was 120,000 spirit stones.

Including the 17 rental shops, a total profit of 8,500 spiritual stones will be made, and a further 76,500 spiritual stones will be made in the next nine years.

These days, the family shop is running well and making a little profit. According to the data reported by the deacons so far, after deducting costs, the total profit is 1,900 spirit stones.

According to comprehensive statistics, the family has 390,400 low-grade spiritual stones in storage this time, of which 280,400 low-grade spiritual stones are pure profits! "

After the words fell, Xia Yunxue could no longer suppress the joy in her heart. Three hundred and ninety thousand spiritual stones, even if there is still a net profit of two hundred and eighty thousand after the cost, the Song family has not had such a huge income for many years.

Everyone's faces also showed joy, and even Song Changan, who was usually stoic, had a look of surprise on his face.

Although a smile appeared on Song Changsheng's face, it was obviously not as happy as everyone else.

The data on the books are very good, but Song Changsheng knows that this is a success that is very difficult to copy, or in other words, it is difficult to copy it again with the current background of the Song family.

If you are more careful, you will find that the majority of the revenue this time comes from the auction of major mineral veins and spiritual mountains. Since they are all unowned land, the cost is negligible.

But this is a one-shot deal. Lingzhou has just experienced a catastrophe, which is why so many are vacant. Now these have become owner-occupied places. Don't think about repeating the same old tricks for a long time in the future.

Without this part, the income this time will shrink a lot.

Among the remaining parts, the profit from the auction of family heritage is 120,000, second only to the auction of Lingshan.

Although in Song Changsheng's view, it is better to liquidate these so-called family heritage rather than pile them up in the treasure house to mold, there is a limit. If another auction is held in the future, if the profit can be half of this time, Song Changsheng will burn high incense. .

Only leasing and operating stores is the way to sustainable development. This will become more prominent when the market expands in the future, and will gradually develop into the economic pillar of the Song family.

But since everyone is so happy now, Song Changsheng will naturally not say these words to dampen their happiness.

He looked at everyone with a smile and said: "The family has made a lot of money this time, but the spiritual stones cannot be transformed into combat effectiveness if they are placed in the warehouse.

With this spiritual stone, in addition to using one portion to reward the clan members who have made merit this time, I have decided to use the rest to purchase a batch of scarce cultivation resources for the family. What do you think? "

"Of course, these spiritual stones are piled there and cannot be eaten, so they have to be replaced with resources." Song Lutong immediately shouted.

Xia Yunxue nodded in agreement, then frowned and said, "But, where can I find a suitable seller?"

Luoxia City was originally a good place to go, but now it is still surrounded by monsters and has been ruled out. But besides Luoxia City, where else can we go?

Song Changsheng smiled when he heard this and said: "I have already chosen the seller, which is the Bandung Chamber of Commerce in Yuanzhou. I took Qingxi and the others to Tianjian Sect before, and by chance, I got a VIP card, which allows me to enjoy discount."

"I see, it would be best if it were this way." Xia Yunxue looked at Song Changsheng and nodded happily.

"Hey, I'm just saying you're a kid. Everything has gotten better since you took charge of the family." Song Lutong gave Song Changsheng a thumbs up and said with a smile.

When Song Changsheng heard this, he waved his hand and said solemnly: "Uncle Tong's statement is ridiculous. The family's success today is the result of everyone's concerted efforts. How can my nephew take the credit?"

He was not being modest when he said this, it was the fact that if Song Xianming and others had not fought tooth and nail to win the battle, Song Changsheng's ideas would have remained on paper.

Therefore, he would never dare to take credit.

"Despite this, the young patriarch should take the lead." Song Changan said solemnly.

Everyone has a balance in their hearts. They all see the contribution Song Changsheng has made to the family over the years. It is no exaggeration to say that his achievements are the highest among any other clan leader.

How old is Song Changsheng?

With his talent, he can make the Song family prosperous for at least hundreds of years. By then, his achievements will probably be no less than those of Taiyi and Yungui...

After the meeting, Song Changsheng returned to his family. After all, Song Xianming had left the family in his hands before retreating, but he had left all affairs to the great elder during this period.

Due to emotions and reasons, he should go back and share the burden with the elderly. As for Fangshi, there are three people from Xia Yunxue and the quasi-sky ship stationed there, so they are safe.

On the third day after Song Changsheng returned to his family, Song Luzhou, who had been in seclusion for a month, finally dragged his exhausted body out of the alchemy room.

One month of refining time is not a long time for him. It took him three months to refine a furnace of second-level top-grade elixir.

In comparison, the time spent refining the [Foundation Building Pill] this time was relatively small.

However, the psychological pressure made Song Luzhou exhausted.

He knew very well how much the family needed this [Foundation Building Pill], and it was precisely because of this that he tried his best to make everything the best.

With this mentality, he had very strict requirements on himself during this alchemy refining, and he did his best in every detail.

But despite this, because it was the first time to refine the elixir, this furnace of elixirs that took him countless efforts ended up being only five elixirs.

[Foundation Building Pill] is only a second-level high-grade elixir, but it is extremely difficult to refine, and in addition to the valuable main medicine, it also requires twenty-one precious second-level auxiliary medicines. Therefore, each furnace has The costs are very high.

According to the price on the market, three Cheng Dan could barely cover the cost.

Therefore, among those major forces, there are many examples of third-level alchemists refining the [Foundation Establishment Pill] personally, in order to maximize the rate of pill formation.

As a second-level top alchemist, Song Luzhou was actually very good at refining five elixirs for the first time. Not only did he get back his money, but he also made a profit.

But Song Luzhou felt very ashamed about this. He felt that he could have done better.

But when Song Changsheng and Song Xianyun learned that he had obtained five pills, they were overjoyed and did not hesitate to praise him.

Song Changsheng's original psychological expectation was to get three pills, so he would be fine if he didn't lose money.

After all, alchemists from the Jindan family like Zhumai sometimes failed when refining the [Foundation Establishment Pill], let alone Song Luzhou who was refining it for the first time?

Unexpectedly, he gave everyone a big surprise.

Looking at the five jade bottles in front of him, Song Changsheng smiled from ear to ear. It had been a long time since the Song family had obtained so many [Foundation Pills] at once.

What's more, this was refined by the Song family, and its meaning is even more profound.

After all, the three main medicines collected by the family through various means are already mature. As long as the seeds are collected and planted, the elixir can be made again. By then, the Song family can truly be self-sufficient and no longer have to be "stuck" by others.

This is a qualitative leap for the Song family, which has been in the family for 500 years.

In this world, the ability to continuously produce foundation-building monks is one of the indicators of whether a force can be passed down for a long time.

Looking at the entire Daqi cultivation world, except for the two sects of Qi Wang and those hidden in the dark, the forces that have reached this point will never exceed one hand!

Song Changsheng looked at the white frost on Song Luzhou's temples and said sincerely: "Fifth uncle has worked hard for the family, and the family will never forget your achievements."

"It's all for the sake of the family. These are what I should do." Song Luzhou shook his head gently. If he hadn't been the only one in the family who could refine the [Foundation Building Pill], it would have been him and not Song Luhuai who exchanged his life for that day. .

In his opinion, his life was no longer just his own.

Song Changsheng was very emotional when he heard this. In a family, everyone has different talents and different priorities. Some are strong and some are weak.

But whether they are strong or weak, they are all contributing their own strength to the development of the family and doing so at any cost. This has never changed.

In a city with ten houses, there must be loyalty.

A family will also emerge with countless loyal people in times of crisis.

This is the case for many of the Song family's children who died at the hands of the Lieyang Sect twenty years ago, as well as Song Luyao and Song Luhuai who died in the battle outside Cangmang Peak.

Song Changsheng, Song Luzhou, and even an ordinary mortal of the Song family are all contributing their own strength to the rise and fall of the family.

With everyone working together, how can the Song family not rise?

"These [Foundation Building Pills] are so timely. We should choose the right clan members to use them as soon as possible." The elder said solemnly, stroking his white beard.

The Song family's current manpower has reached the point of being stretched thin, which has become more and more prominent after the establishment of Fangshi, so replenishing manpower has become the most important thing at the moment.

Among them, the number of foundation-building monks is crucial.

Song Changsheng nodded and said, "That's true. I wonder what the Fifth Uncle and Grandpa Twenty-one think about the distribution of the [Foundation Establishment Pill]?"

"Although the selection method of the family competition last time was fair, it was not the most beneficial to the development of the family. The family Baiyi Palace has already been in decline.

Let’s not talk about formations and weapon refining. The clan leader is the leader, followed by you, Qinghong, Changrong, etc., all of whom are extremely talented.

Lu Zhou can still take the lead in the art of alchemy, but until now, no one has been found who can replace him.

This is especially true for Fu Lu. Since the death of Lu Huai, there has been no one in the family who can take the lead. It has been over for generations.

As for winemaking, apart from your mother, there is no other winemaker in the family.

Yinlu Yiyi is even worse. Changxue is the only first-level Yin lawyer who has failed to break through the foundation building.

There are no other earth masters, puppets, beast masters, heavenly craftsmen, etc. "

Speaking of this, Song Xianyun sighed deeply. The lack of talent reserves is very fatal for any force.

The family competition could only select clan members with outstanding fighting skills, but it buried many talents in various arts or other fields, such as Song Lujuan who hosted the auction a few days ago.

Although she is not good at fighting and does not have a variety of skills, she performed very well at the auction. This is also a talent and an indispensable part of the family's development.

It's not that the family doesn't value these talents, it's just that they are powerless.

Now these five [Foundation Pills] gave Song Xianyun hope.

After listening to this, Song Changsheng also showed a look of approval on his face. This is indeed an issue that deserves great attention.

Song Luhuai's death was a huge loss to the family. It directly caused the family to lose the ability to produce second-level talismans, and completely lost the ability to compete with the Wuling Sect in the talisman market.

"What Grandpa Twenty-one said is absolutely true. Let's take two of these five [Foundation Pills] as rewards for the family competition.

For the remaining three, we select outstanding talents such as talismans and alchemists within the clan, and then vote for them through the vote of the Elder Council. How about that? "

Song Xianyun and Song Luzhou looked at each other, nodded in agreement and said, "Good."

So another small-scale family competition began to brew, this time it was only for clan members under the age of sixty who had gathered their Taoist foundation.

Therefore, the number of people was not large, less than thirty people.

After a fierce competition, Song Changjing and Song Changxiu finally won the top two and obtained the qualification to use the [Foundation Building Pill].

After the competition, several candidates were selected from the Baiyi talent pool after extensive inspections.

Among them are Song Changrong and Song Lujuan who have been beheaded, as well as Song Changchang and Song Changjun who are not well-known.

In the end, after intense discussion and voting by the Presbyterian Council, three people were finally elected, namely Song Changrong, Song Lujuan, and Song Changchang.

Among them, Song Changrong was good at refining weapons.

Song Lujuan was something Song Changsheng had promised before.

The first two are not very old, but Song Changsheng is already over fifty. He was chosen because he is the only first-level talisman master in the Song family, and Song Changsheng and others have very high expectations for him.

I hope he can break through the foundation building and revitalize the family talismans.

Originally, Song Changrong could not be selected. After all, the family currently has no shortage of talents in weapon refining. The original intention of Song Xianyun and others was to find a seedling who could make alchemy.

Unfortunately, after many selections, no suitable candidate was found, so the next best thing was to choose Song Changrong.

Song Changxue was originally a good candidate, but unfortunately she no longer has the chance. Every [Foundation Building Pill] is very precious and no one can obtain it repeatedly.

After selecting the people, Song Changsheng immediately arranged for them to retreat.

And he carried a huge sum of money and prepared to leave for Yuanzhou.

……

　Happy New Year’s Eve to all fellow Taoists~
