Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Song Changsheng was like a child who got a new toy. He stayed up for three days and three nights to improve "Qi Lian Xiao Yin" with Xiao Jiu's help.

The so-called improvement is to take the essence and remove the dross.

The problem with this mental method is that there are too many loopholes, the absorption and transformation efficiency of spiritual energy is very poor, and the burst is insufficient. Only casual cultivators can practice it, but any cultivator with some savings will choose a better one.

With so many loopholes, it should be easier to improve, but the imagination is full and the reality is very skinny. It is extremely difficult to improve even the most basic Tao mentality.

Often when one hole is filled, three new loopholes will appear.

And during this process, Song Changsheng also discovered a problem. Although Xiaojiu's body contained a large number of classics, it could not provide him with much help in improving his mental skills.

The era that Song Changsheng currently lives in is really far away from the era of Qingtian Sword Immortal. Too many things have changed over the long years.

Although the types and grades of the several mental methods it selected for Song Changsheng's reference were consistent with "Qi Lian Xiao Yin", their roughness was even worse. Song Changsheng found it hard to believe that these were recorded in "Zhao Xing". The mental method in "Miaodian".

All in all, times have been advancing, and Xiaojiu has fallen behind.

"There is a tingling sensation in the Du Vein when absorbing spiritual energy. The conversion efficiency of spiritual energy is higher, but the explosive power is not as good as before."

After practicing for a big week according to the improved version of "Qi Lian Xiao Yin", Song Changsheng reluctantly came to the above conclusion. This was already the 3.0 version, and it still did not achieve the results he expected.

"I'm sorry, Master." This situation made Xiaojiu a little embarrassed. It had been sleeping for a long time and had no idea that the current era had developed to such a point.

"You don't have to apologize, I should have thought of it earlier." Song Changsheng had already looked away. The world of cultivation has developed for so many years, and the mental and magical powers that have survived have been screened out over and over again through the waves.

"Qi Lian Xiao Yin" has not been eliminated so far, which naturally has its merits.

This incident made Song Changsheng understand a truth. The statement that "the present is not as good as the past" is pure fart.

After so many years of development, both the various arts of cultivation and mental and magical powers have been making slow and continuous progress. If they are still no match for the antiques from who knows how many years ago, then everyone can collectively find a crooked neck to hang on a tree.

"Hey, Xiaojiu, this "Yin Yang Xuan Hua Sutra" is far more sophisticated than the third-level mental methods collected by the family. Who wrote it?"

Most of the methods that Song Changsheng currently practices come from the "Wonderful Code of Creation". He doesn't know whether they are considered to be among the best in the world, but they are definitely extremely superior methods, and their origins may not be simple.

Sure enough, Xiao Jiu's next words confirmed his suspicion.

"The "Water and Fire Control" and "Yin Yang Xuanhua Sutra" were both written by the Black and White Supreme. He was one of the top powerful people of that era.

The "Five Beasts Body Training Technique" was written by the Beast Master, who is also as famous as the Black and White Supreme. "

Song Changsheng suddenly realized that, as he expected, he was practicing at the top level, and Xiaojiu probably didn't have many techniques of this level.

"By the way, can you find some inheritance about formations for me?" He suddenly wanted to know the difference between ancient and modern formations.

"Can I have a third-level one?"

"can."

Soon, a piece of formation inheritance called "Records of Formation" flooded into Song Changsheng's mind.

As soon as he read the beginning, he almost jumped up and said in shock: "Is this how the formation masters of your era set up formations?"

Xiao Jiu: "..."

If Xiaojiu hadn't chosen it for him, he would have really doubted whose prank it was. The method of setting up the formation was too rough. There was no formation flag, no formation base, and the probability of failure was actually as high as 70%!
Song Changsheng couldn't even imagine this failure rate, because the failure rate of even the most ordinary formation master couldn't be higher than 30%.

However, the roughness is not without its merits. For example, it is recorded that using the essence and blood of demonic beasts after sacrifice to draw formation patterns can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Song Changsheng tried it according to the method it said and found that it was indeed the case. The strength of the formation was greatly improved, but the formation patterns drawn by the essence and blood floated on the surface and had a strong smell of blood, which greatly reduced the concealment of the formation. I think To apply it in actual combat, it needs to be rethought.

Then there are some records about formation patterns that also made Song Changsheng feel refreshed.

"Although most of it is outdated, it is not without its merits." Song Changsheng nodded slightly. Although there is a bit more dross, the essence can still be squeezed out, which can increase his own heritage.

Therefore, the past is not necessarily inferior to the present, and the present is not necessarily inferior to the past.

As long as there are advantages, Song Changsheng doesn't mind using them...

Song Changsheng competed with "Qi Lian Xiao Yin" for another seven days. He finally succeeded in taking the first step and increased the speed of absorbing and transforming his spiritual energy. Although his explosive power did not improve, it had initially reached his psychological expectations.

"Master, the improved mental method needs to go through a lot of testing to discover more hidden problems." Xiao Jiu reminded him in a timely manner.

"You want me to find some guinea pigs?" Song Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The demon clan is not suitable for practicing the techniques of human monks, Master."

"The white mouse is not a monster... Forget it, it doesn't matter. You are right. You have to try it to know the effect." Song Changsheng turned his eyes and quickly thought of a suitable candidate.

He stood up, took care of himself in front of the bronze mirror, then opened the door and walked out of the courtyard.

The place Song Changsheng was going to was the Fengyu Palace. As the family's intelligence agency, it had been more than twenty years since Song Luyao founded it.

Although the investment is not small, the development time is still too short. So far, Fengyu Palace has only trained forty-three spies.

A small number of them are members of the Song clan, and most of them are children selected from affiliated forces under their command. They have been undergoing closed training in Fengyu Palace since they were young.

At present, some of them have penetrated into the hostile forces through various means. The identities of these spies are absolutely confidential within the Song family, and no more than a handful of people know about them.

In addition to these self-trained spies, Fengyu Palace also bribed hundreds of outsiders. These people have no loyalty at all, and the authenticity and importance of the information they can obtain are also very low.

In general, lack of people, lack of money, and lack of time, this is the current situation of Fengyu Palace.

Song Changsheng came to a stainless steel gate embedded in the mountain, took out his clan leader's token, opened the restriction, and entered a huge, brightly lit space through a long corridor.

Two monks in black robes, whose faces could not be seen clearly, came forward immediately. One of them stood in front of Song Changsheng and said solemnly: "Token."

The voice is very neutral, and one cannot distinguish between male and female.

Song Changsheng obeyed and handed over a small white jade token.

Another person took it and inspected it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, the two immediately knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "See the patriarch!"

"No need to be polite, is the foreign affairs elder inside?" Song Changsheng helped the two of them up and asked warmly.

"Back to the clan leader, the elder has gone to Wangyuefang City and is not in the palace." "That's it, you can continue to be on duty. I will take a look around myself." Song Changsheng nodded slightly.

Song Lujuan can be said to be the busiest person in the family at the moment. Not only is he responsible for sorting out the family's property, but he is also responsible for matters related to foreign trade. It can be said that there is never a moment of leisure, and it is normal for him to be unable to find anyone.

After taking back the sign handed back by the guard, Song Changsheng first checked the intelligence collected during this period. The Daqi cultivation world was surprisingly calm, and nothing major happened.

Instead, a rumor from the cultivation world of Lu State caught his attention.

"In the northern part of the Lu Kingdom's cultivation world, Jindan Zhenren's cave appeared, triggering a fierce battle. Jindan Zhenren took action, resulting in heavy casualties?"

Song Changsheng was slightly stunned. He had long heard that the world of cultivation in the Lu Kingdom was in chaos, but he did not expect that the chaos would reach this level. In order to fight for a relic, Master Jin Dan actually ended up in person. This was almost impossible in other places.

For some reason, he thought of Song Qingxing again.

"It's been more than three years, and I don't know where this brat has gone, so don't show off." Song Changsheng was a little worried.

There are many outstanding monks among the younger generations of the family, such as Song Qingxi, Song Qinghong, Song Qingxia, Song Qingshi, etc. They are all very good, but what he is most worried about is Song Qingxing.

His personality dictates that he needs to be on the edge of a knife all year round.

When he saw this news, he had a strong hunch in his heart that Song Qingxing was likely to be in the Lu Kingdom cultivation world.

It is even possible that he participated in the fight for the golden elixir ruins.

"Ugh……"

"Here comes someone." Song Changsheng put the jade slip in his hand on the shelf beside him and called out the door.

Soon a man in black robes walked in silently, bowing his head and obeying orders.

"In the future, pay more attention to the information related to the cultivation world of Lu State."

"Yes." The black-robed monk took the order and left.

Song Changsheng sat on the wicker chair for a while, then got up and came to a spacious space, where thirty-two young people of different ages were receiving systematic training.

Each of them wears a special black robe that covers their whole body. Neither their teachers nor their classmates know their faces or names.

Here, they only have code names, eat and rest alone, and only get together briefly when teaching together.

The current course is "How to Distinguish the Authenticity of Information."

The instructor was a clan elder who was about eighty years old. He was talking in front of him and all the students in the audience were attentive.

But Song Changsheng could still tell at a glance that a tall student near the corner was not paying attention to the lecture and was probably in a trance.

Song Changsheng did not disturb them. Instead, after the lecture was over, he found the instructor and called the student out.

"Follow me." Song Changsheng deliberately kept a straight face, walked in front with his hands behind his back, and led him to a separate compartment.

He sat down at the table and glanced at the tall man's chest, which had the word "Ding Qi" embroidered on it, which was his code name.

"Ding Qi, do you know why I called you here?"

"Reply to the Patriarch, because I didn't listen to the teacher's lecture, and you discovered it." Ding Qi knelt on one knee, his tone was full of calmness.

"Take off the hood."

"Clan leader, the rules in the palace are that you can't pick it off." Ding Qi said hesitantly.

Song Changsheng couldn't help being amused by him: "I didn't listen to the teacher's lectures, but now I'm talking about the rules. There are no outsiders here, you can pick them."

Hearing this, Ding Qi took off his hood, revealing an ordinary face. He looked a little immature, no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, but his eyes were as deep as a pool of water.

Song Changsheng was slightly startled. The young man's appearance seemed familiar, and he couldn't help but ask, "What was your original name?"

"Chief Hui, you rescued me from White Wolf Mountain back then. I don't have a name. After I came here, my name was Ding Qi." Ding Qi responded respectfully.

Song Changsheng suddenly understood.

Back then, the Song family swept across the Thunder King Palace's stronghold in White Wolf Mountain and rescued more than 100,000 mortals, including a dozen children with spiritual roots. Song Changsheng threw them all into the Fengyu Palace for training. A few years later, all of them were actually So big.

They are all miserable children.

Song Changsheng's eyes softened a little, and he motioned for him to sit down and said, "Why don't you listen carefully to the lectures? These are the foundation for you to settle down and live your life in the future."

"These things taught by the instructor are too simple. I don't bother to learn." Ding Qi's response was a bit arrogant, but it gave people a sense of confidence.

"What about the other courses? You don't want to study either?" Song Changsheng looked at the young man in front of him with interest and said warmly.

Ding obviously hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Some people will learn."

Song Changsheng pondered for a while, then smiled lightly and said: "I remember that one of your compulsory spells is [Without Trace]. I don't use my spiritual consciousness. If you can hide five breaths of time in front of me, not only will today's past be forgotten, but I will I’m sure you don’t need to learn, how about that?”

"Is what the patriarch said true?" Ding Qi was a little surprised.

"Of course, let's get started." Song Changsheng closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, Ding Qi had disappeared. Song Changsheng could not feel the slightest breath. Although he did not use his spiritual consciousness, it was still very extraordinary. After all, Ding Qi was only at the second level of Qi training.

Time passed quickly, and Ding Qi took the initiative to reveal his figure. He was less than a foot away from Song Changsheng's left hand.

Song Changsheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, you have mastered the essence of this spell. It seems that you have not wasted time. Since you are not willing to learn those courses, then learn this."

As he spoke, he took out a brand new jade slip from his arms and placed it on the table. He looked into his eyes and said seriously: "This is "Qi Lian Xiao Yin". I have improved it. It is much more exquisite than before. few.

I now want you to modify this mental method and help me further improve it. During this period, you will enjoy special resource subsidies.

I won't hide it from you. I don't know exactly how this mental method is. After my improvement, it may become better or worse.

The choice is in your hands. If you can't accept it, you can turn around and leave now. "
