Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"Tell me, have you been here these days?" Song Xianming asked with a serious face.

The little beast was only at the second level, and did not dare to hide anything in front of a group of Purple Mansion cultivators, so he quickly replied: "Reporting to the Immortal, I have indeed been here for some time."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions brightened. Song Xianming continued to ask: "Have you seen any human cultivators passing by in the past few days? Tell the truth now!"

The little beast was stimulated by the terrifying aura emanating from Song Xianming. It nodded hurriedly and stammered, "Please...Please report to the Immortal, I...I did see that a few days ago, there were four Immortals with profound cultivation...fighting...fighting here."

At this point, a hint of human-like fear appeared in the little beast's eyes, and its body began to tremble slightly, as if it had thought of something terrible.

Song Xianming showed excitement on his face. He took out a portrait from his storage bag and unfolded it, saying, "You can see this person."

The little beast looked at it carefully, and finally nodded and said, "Yes... yes, there is this immortal."

"Then do you know his whereabouts?" Song Xianming's tone became urgent.

“This… this Immortal seemed to have said… that he would take two people with him even if he died, and then he detonated something.

That thing was too horrible. One of the immortals was turned into ashes, and only half of the other was left. As for the immortal in the portrait...

I was too timid to take a closer look, but I vaguely saw that he seemed to have… fallen into the Xianglu River…” The little beast stretched out a claw and pointed at the surging river not far away, and then trembled as it accepted the judgment of fate.

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Song Changsheng's soul lamp was still there, which meant he was still alive. He was just running out of strength and was seriously injured and fell into the river. This result was obviously much better than they had expected.

Shen Qingxiu took out a spiritual fruit and stuffed it into the mouth of the little beast, chuckling, "It is fate that you met us. This fruit can help you make further progress. Practice well and don't step into the human territory in the future."

After saying this, he sent the terrified yet grateful little beast back to the ground.

Several people came to the river together, looking at the vast and fast-flowing river, and frowned deeply.

Almost two days had passed since Song Changsheng asked for help and they arrived. If Song Changsheng had fallen into the river, he would probably have sunk to the bottom or been washed downstream.

It’s easy to sink to the bottom, it’s not a problem for them at all.

It would be troublesome if he was washed away by the river. After all, Song Changsheng was seriously injured. If he could not wake up and continued to be unconscious, his magic power would be exhausted sooner or later.

Without the protection of magic power, even a Purple Mansion cultivator would be drowned. By then, he would surpass He Tai and become the most laughed at in the Da Qi cultivation world. It would be better to die in battle on the spot.

"The Xianglu River spans the entire Da Qi cultivation world and has countless tributaries. It may be difficult to find it." Shen Qingxiu's face looked a little unhappy.

Actually, Shen Qingxiu's words were a bit euphemistic. It was not only difficult, but rescuing someone from the Xianglu River was as difficult as fishing for a needle in the ocean. The ability of a Purple Mansion cultivator was also limited.

"Try using the Tracking Technique first."

As he spoke, Bai Zhengchun took out a jade bottle from his arms. Inside the bottle was a lump of mud stained with Song Changsheng's blood. By using this magic trick, Song Changsheng could be found as long as he was within a thousand miles.

Under the tense gaze of the crowd, Bai Zhengchun began to perform a ritual. The jade bottle began to spin, and a hazy glow emerged. It eventually turned into a stream of light and rushed out. It circled above everyone's heads for a few times before disappearing. The jade bottle also exploded and turned into powder.

Seeing this, Song Xianming's heart suddenly sank. There were generally only two possibilities for such a situation. Either Song Changsheng had been washed away thousands of miles away, or his breath was isolated.

But no matter which one it is, it is not what they want to see.

"Try again somewhere else."

The few of them searched along the river. They used the [Tracking Technique] more than a dozen times and searched a distance of nearly 20,000 miles. They had used up all the soil stained with Song Changsheng's blood, but they still couldn't find any trace of Song Changsheng, nor could they contact him. It was as if... he had disappeared out of thin air.

At this moment, Song Xianming was a little desperate. If the Song family had not sent back news that Song Changsheng's soul lamp was still burning, he would have suspected that Song Changsheng had been fed to the fish.

After all, no matter how fast the river flows, it is impossible to carry a living person 20,000 miles away in such a short time.

Seeing Song Xianming becoming increasingly thin, Shen Qingxiu felt a little sorry for him and consoled him, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. Changsheng might have been cut off from his aura accidentally. Let's go back to find Senior Brother. Jindan Zhenren has the ability to predict the future. He might have a solution."

Hearing this, Song Xianming's eyes lit up again, and he whispered softly, "Yes, Grand City Lord, the Grand City Lord will definitely find a way."

After saying that, Song Xianming rushed to Luoxia City in a hurry.

As time passed, the news of the heavy casualties suffered by the Lieyang Sect and the Rong family had spread.

For a time, the whole country was shocked. No one expected that the Song family, which had just returned to the Seventh Palace, could actually deal a heavy blow to the two Purple Mansion forces in one fell swoop.

This is simply a miracle!
So, with all kinds of thoughts in mind, everyone began to dig deep into this bizarre battle.

As the details were revealed bit by bit, the news that Song Changsheng broke through the Purple Mansion, comprehended his innate magical powers, fought against three people alone and was eventually seriously injured and disappeared was also revealed.

This caused a major earthquake in the Da Qi cultivation world.

Any one of these pieces of news is shocking enough, but they all came from the same person. This is no longer shocking, but terrifying.

Some people even suspected that this was deliberately fabricated to build momentum for Song Changsheng.

But in the face of ironclad facts, they had to believe it even if they didn't want to.

As a result, the name "Song Changsheng" once again swept the entire Da Qi cultivation world, and even had a tendency to spread to several surrounding cultivation worlds.

Now, Song Changsheng has really achieved "known to everyone", at least in the Da Qi cultivation world.

He is now a true celebrity, a role model for thousands of young students to aspire to and strive for.

In contrast, the news of the tragic defeat of Lieyang Sect and Rong Clan became a mere backdrop, and no one cared...

In an inn in Luoxia City, Xueyan listened to the discussions of the people around him. He felt furious and suddenly crushed the teacup in his hand, shouting: "Waste! A bunch of waste!"

He never thought that even though he had made such sufficient preparations and formulated such a perfect plan, He Tai and his team could still fail.

He paid too much for this action, but in the end he failed to destroy the Song family and failed to capture Song Changsheng as a bargaining chip.

He could almost imagine how severe the punishment he would face from the leader when he returned.

"Song Changsheng, you have repeatedly ruined the great cause of my Holy Religion. You will never be allowed to stay!" Bloody Eye smashed the table to pieces with one palm. The room was filled with a terrifying atmosphere... Just as everyone was talking about it, Song Changsheng just woke up from his coma.

The first thing that caught his eye was the ceiling dotted with dozens of fist-sized luminous pearls, surrounded by colorful shells, many of which he had never seen before.

"Where... am I?" Song Changsheng was confused. He endured the severe pain, forced himself to sit up, and looked around with his eyes rolling.

His vision was blocked by a pink bed curtain embroidered with a lotus mark. Through the gauze, he could vaguely see that he was facing a dressing table. In the center stood a bronze mirror with a diamond pattern that was polished to exquisite detail, reflecting his pale and bloodless cheek.

On the table was a large red lacquered jewelry box carved with plum blossoms and some rouge and powder. On the left was a wooden tray with a huge conch on it.

The tables and chairs are all made of fine sandalwood, and the delicate patterns on them exude the delicate and gentle feeling that belongs to a girl.

Looking under himself, he saw that the mattress was made of precious ice silk, soft and smooth. But upon closer inspection, he found that the bed was actually a huge white clam shell.

The layout of this room is like that of a girl's boudoir, yet it exudes a sense of weirdness and unusualness everywhere.

After sorting out his thoughts, Song Changsheng was sure that he had been rescued by someone. When he took off his clothes, he saw signs that his wounds had been treated, and the bloody evil energy that had originally invaded his body had disappeared without a trace.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. This blood evil spirit was the most difficult to deal with. If he wanted to eradicate it himself, it would take at least several years to eliminate it without leaving any hidden dangers.

The person who saved him was definitely not a simple person.

Thinking of this, he was about to turn over and get out of bed, but the moment he moved, the injuries in his body were agitated, and he gasped in pain.

At this time, a charming voice sounded in his ears: "Hey, your wounds haven't healed yet, you can't move around, lie down quickly."

Song Changsheng raised his head when he heard that, and was stunned after just one look.

I saw a very beautiful girl walking towards me. Her face seemed not to exist in this world. There was a hint of cuteness in her shyness. Her bright eyes seemed to be able to speak, and her skin was delicate and fair, as if it could be blown away.

Even though he had seen beauties of Xia Qingxue's level, Song Changsheng couldn't help but stare at her in a daze.

But when he caught a glimpse of the girl's shimmering fish tail from the corner of his eye, his face suddenly became a little stiff.

"Mermaid? No, in this world, it should be called merman!"

The merman girl seemed not to hear Song Changsheng's murmurs. She frowned and looked him up and down and said, "You are so weird. You have so many strange injuries in your body, but you woke up so quickly. Are the human race's recovery abilities so strong?"

At this time, Song Changsheng came back to his senses, straightened his back and bowed, saying: "I am Song Changsheng, thank you very much for your help, fairy."

"Song Changsheng? What a strange name. My name is Xiruo, Kongsang Xiruo." Xiruo put two fingers on her forehead, lowered her head slightly, and performed a unique etiquette of the mermaid clan to Song Changsheng.

Little did she know that her words shocked Song Changsheng again, and he blurted out: "Kong Sang? Are you from the royal family of the mermaids?"

Unexpectedly, Kongsang Xiruo looked confused, pointed at herself and said, "Are you talking about me? My last name is Kongsang, but I am not from the royal family."

The emotions she expressed did not seem fake, and Song Changsheng gradually became suspicious.

Mermaids are a powerful tribe among the monsters. They once ruled over all the aquatic creatures in the world and were very powerful. Later, they experienced a great catastrophe and suffered heavy losses. They fled into the depths of the sea and have rarely been seen since then.

The "Kongsang" royal family has not appeared in the world for ten thousand years, and it is said that there is no bloodline left. The person in front of him may not be the legendary mermaid royal family.

He quickly saluted and said, "It was Song who was talking nonsense. I hope the fairy will forgive me. May I ask, how long have I been unconscious?"

Hearing this, Xi Ruo tilted her head and calculated, "It has been nine days since I saw you.

You are so lucky. If I hadn't gone out for a walk on a whim that day, you would have been swept away by the undercurrent."

After that, she wrinkled her nose and said, "Your injuries are very troublesome. It took me three days to remove the blood evil power in your body, and another two days to repair your damaged organs.

I originally thought you would be in a coma for at least a year or two, but I didn't expect you to wake up so soon.

I heard from my father that humans are very weak creatures, but now it seems that they were all lies."

"Fairy, have you never seen other human beings?" Looking at Kongsang Xiruo who had an angry face, Song Changsheng couldn't help but ask curiously.

Kongsang Xiruo shook her head and said, "Daddy has set up a ban to prevent me from setting foot on the territory of the human race. He said that the human race is a group of despicable, insidious and cunning guys. If they see me, it will bring danger.

So, you are the first human I have ever seen."

Song Changsheng smiled awkwardly when he heard this. Although he was also a member of the human race, he had to admit that with the mermaid's peerless beauty and various special uses recorded in ancient books, Kong Sangxi would definitely be eaten until not even a bone was left if she appeared in the human territory.

"Then why did you save me? Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"

After hearing Song Changsheng's words, Kong Sang Xiruo seemed to realize it belatedly and exclaimed, "That's right, Daddy said that we can't let outsiders know that I'm here."

Seeing her anxious look, Song Changsheng suddenly understood that Kong Sang Xiruo, despite her powerful cultivation, was actually just an ignorant little girl. She was as white as snow and had never been out in the world, let alone understood the wickedness of human nature.

If Song Changsheng is a person with evil intentions, Kong Sang Xiruo's good deed will surely bring her great disaster.

Fortunately, although Song Changsheng is not a good person, he still knows the principle of repaying kindness.

Seeing Kong Sang Xiruo at a loss, he smiled and said, "There are indeed bad people among the human race, but you saved a person with conscience. I will not harm you, nor will I reveal your location."

"Really?" Kongsang Xiruo's beautiful eyes lit up, like crystal clear stones.

"Of course." Song Changsheng smiled slightly.

Kongsang Xiruo finally breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face again.

She took a stool beside her and sat down beside the bed. She looked at Song Changsheng expectantly and said, "Can you tell me what the outside world is like?"
