Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"Senior...senior..."

Looking at Song Changsheng's eyes that seemed to want to devour someone, a sense of fear suddenly surged in his heart, and his body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

He was just an insignificant casual cultivator. Although he had become a foundation-building cultivator through his own efforts, if Song Changsheng killed him, there would probably not even be anyone to erect a monument for him afterwards.

Looking at the other person's expression, Song Changsheng immediately realized that he had scared him. He tried to calm himself down, then took out a bottle of [Peking Yuan Pill] from his arms and handed it to him, and warned him softly: "If you have nothing to do, leave early. Don't come here to join in the fun before tomorrow."

After hearing Song Changsheng's words, the foundation-building cultivator seemed to realize something. He nodded hurriedly, took the [Peifying Pill] and left with many thanks. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

After he left, Song Changsheng returned to the place where Niu Dazhuang was hiding.

"What's the situation ahead?" Niu Dazhuang asked anxiously.

Song Changsheng took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm: "I asked someone about the situation. He said that more than three months ago, the spiritual energy here revived and the [Genjin Qi] appeared and was obtained by a passing woman.

In addition to the woman, there was also a demon hunting team named Yaofeng who were hunting in the Meteorite Mountains. They witnessed everything and tried to snatch it away but failed. So they spread the news and attracted many monks to come and fight for it.

The woman fought all the way, but because she was outnumbered, she failed to break through. Finally, she chose to return to the Meteorite Mountains and entered the Jinxuan Grotto.

Many people have already chased in, and among those outside, a small number are prepared to watch the fun, while the rest are planning to do the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole is waiting behind. "

"Is it Yuechan?" Niu Dazhuang's eyes were wide open, with scarlet bloodshot eyes. The aura on his body was like a dormant beast that could erupt at any time.

"Not sure, but my intuition tells me that Yuechan is here." Song Changsheng's face looked a little ugly. A line of [Genjin Qi] had blasted out countless old guys trapped in the Purple Mansion period. It was extremely difficult to bring them out.

"Damn it, at worst I can give up that magical object from heaven and earth. My Luoxia family is rich and powerful, so we don't need that little thing." Niu Dazhuang said angrily.

"Brother, now is not the time to talk about this. The most urgent task is to quickly enter the Jinxuan Grotto to find Yuechan's whereabouts. There are many masters in there. If we delay, something bad may happen!"

"Who's afraid of him? I'll kill anyone who dares to stop me!" Niu Dazhuang's tiger body shook, and his powerful aura turned all the fallen leaves around him into powder.

"Try not to conflict with them if possible. If it causes public outrage, not to mention Yuechan, we may not even be able to get out alive!" Song Changsheng pressed Niu Dazhuang's shoulder and whispered. At the critical moment, his mind remained clear.

Niu Dazhuang stared at him with his scarlet eyes for a while, then finally turned his back, squatted down, and nodded imperceptibly.

Seeing him nod, Song Changsheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Niu Dazhuang had a reckless personality, and what he feared most was that Niu Dazhuang would randomly conflict with other people after he entered.

Although he also wanted to eliminate all those who were chasing Zhuang Yuechan, he knew that this was simply unrealistic. If he was not careful, he would become the target of public criticism, and then things would be troublesome.

After reaching a consensus, Song Changsheng found the entrance to the so-called Jinxuan Grotto according to the information provided by the foundation-building cultivator.

In fact, there is no need to specifically ask where the entrance is, because the sharp golden energy is everywhere and can be seen from a long distance.

Standing in front of the dark cave entrance, the air was filled with sharp golden energy, like a sharp knife. Even though both of them were body cultivators, they couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on their skin.

"Such a fierce golden spiritual energy. No wonder so many people choose to wait outside. It is already very difficult for ordinary cultivators to resist it."

Song Changsheng's face darkened slightly. Zhuang Yuechan was only a foundation-building cultivator, but she had been in here for three months. Just enduring the sharp golden energy every day was a huge torture for her.

Thinking of this, Song Changsheng felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He entered without thinking, and Niu Dazhuang followed closely behind him.

No matter what, if they wanted to get the person out, a fight was inevitable. In order to save mana, neither of them used Tiangang to protect their bodies. The sour and refreshing feeling was unforgettable.

This so-called Jinxuan Grotto is actually a huge karst cave. It was just a barren land before. It has a name since the spiritual power revived here and this spiritual object of heaven and earth was born.

Zhuang Yuechan's coming and going attracted many monks who were jealous of the spiritual creatures of heaven and earth to come here. Only then did they discover that there was a different world inside this unremarkable cave.

Not only was there a sharp golden aura everywhere, but the revival of spiritual energy in the cave had caused the stone walls to undergo changes, making the originally ordinary mud and stone as hard as fine iron. Given its huge size, even a Purple Mansion cultivator would find it difficult to cause major damage.

Otherwise, the Jinxuan Grotto would have been turned upside down by them long ago.

In addition, there are many forks in the cave, and each of them is bottomless. The sharp gold energy inside will also affect the spiritual consciousness, resulting in so many cultivators searching here for more than three months and still finding nothing.

If it weren't for the fact that [Genjin Energy] was too tempting to them, they would have been unable to bear it long ago.

Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang went deeper into the passage, and suddenly, a slight smell of blood came into their nostrils.

They immediately became alert and soon found a long-dead body in the passage to the left of the first fork in the road.

Song Changsheng stepped forward and checked it quickly. He said to Niu Dazhuang, "His cultivation level is above the late stage of foundation building. The body is slightly decayed. He has been dead for at least three months. There is blood in the ear canal. Apart from that, there are no other external injuries. His internal organs are intact. He should have been killed by a sonic or spiritual attack."

Hearing this, Niu Dazhuang suddenly became excited and blurted out: "Is it Junior Sister?"

"It is very likely that this passage has the most traces left. Yuechan should have gone in this direction. Let's hurry up and follow her."

The two of them sped up and followed the traces left behind. As they went deeper, some small stalagmites gradually appeared at the corners of the passage.

Song Changsheng stretched out his hand and tried to bend it, but the stalagmite didn't move at all. You know, his hand was enough to wield the three thousand jin [Mountain Shaking Halberd], but he couldn't break the stalagmite.

Niu Dazhuang was more direct. He took out a mountain axe and chopped down two trees in two swipes.

"It is actually condensed from black gold. No wonder we saw so many traces of human destruction along the way." A hint of surprise flashed in Song Changsheng's eyes.

Black gold is an extremely precious material for refining weapons. The amount of the two stalagmites he has is enough to refine a second-level magic weapon.

If there are larger ones with better quality, they can also be used as the main material for refining third-level magical weapons.

"How come there is so much black gold in this damn place?" Niu Dazhuang looked puzzled. As a formation master, he naturally knew how precious black gold was.

"From the moment we entered until now, this place has revealed strangeness everywhere. We must be vigilant."

For some reason, there was always a faint sense of uneasiness lingering in Song Changsheng's heart. If Zhuang Yuechan hadn't been here, he would have withdrawn long ago. The two continued to move forward, encountering more and more forks in the road, each of which left many traces, making it extremely difficult to tell which one was the right one.

Song Changsheng's [Thousands of Miles Tracking Technique] finally came in handy at this moment. He was able to find the correct intersection every time, saving them a lot of time on trial and error. There were more and more traces of fighting along the way, and more and more corpses, including an old-looking Purple Mansion cultivator.

This obviously could not be the work of Zhuang Yuechan. It was more like this group of people killing each other, and most likely they were fighting for the black gold that was "growing" in the cave.

Because as they go deeper, the sharp gold energy inside becomes more concentrated, and the quality and size of those stalagmites and stalactites condensed from black gold have also been greatly improved compared to the outside. Each one represents a considerable fortune, so it is not surprising that they are fighting for it.

After all, although the [Genjin Qi] is good, there is only one of it, it cannot be seen or touched, but this Xuanjin is real.

"It seems that this place is much more chaotic than we thought." Song Changsheng pondered for a moment.

This is good news for them, as they can fish in troubled waters.

"Listen, there seems to be some movement." Suddenly, Niu Dazhuang put his ear against the stone wall.

Song Changsheng also leaned over and indeed felt a clear vibration, which meant that there was a fight not far ahead.

The two men looked at each other and rushed over immediately. About two hours later, in a spacious cave, three foundation-building monks were fighting for a stalactite as thick as a forearm. There were already several corpses lying on the ground, and the battle was very tragic.

"Remember to stay alive."

Song Changsheng only had time to open his mouth to remind him before Niu Dazhuang, who had been suppressed for a long time, rushed out.

The three men never expected that a Purple Mansion cultivator would suddenly appear and they had no room to resist at all. Soon two of them were killed and one was injured.

Song Changsheng interrogated the only survivor and learned that he was from a purple mansion force called Ziyun Pavilion, and that he was instructed by the sect to fight for the black gold and block the exit.

In addition to them, there was also a Purple Mansion elder who led a dozen foundation-building cultivators to the front. It was said that they had found the trace of the woman who obtained the [Genjin Qi].

Song Changsheng was shocked. Zhuang Yuechan was discovered?
"Senior brother."

"understand!"

Niu Dazhuang exerted a little force with his hands and gave the prisoner a quick death.

"Ziyun Pavilion..." Song Changsheng silently memorized the name and the costumes of their sect. They must find Zhuang Yuechan before these people.

Thinking of this, Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang increased their speed to the extreme and met many cultivators who were fighting for the black gold along the way.

Song Changsheng knew that these people were blocking their retreat, so he and Niu Dazhuang started killing them, leaving no one alive.

The successive battles had consumed a lot of their mana. As they were meditating and regulating their breathing, they heard a familiar name...

"Damn it, which evil star came here? No one could even breathe along the way."

Inside the grotto, a group of foundation-building monks dressed in black surrounded a skinny old man in purple robe and moved towards the dark passage. The dead bodies that appeared from time to time and the smell of blood in the air made them concentrate their nerves.

The complaint just now came from one of the men in black robes.

The purple-robed old man glanced at the big man and said coldly: "Why, are you scared?"

Hearing the displeasure in the old man's tone, a bald man in the team quickly smiled and said, "That's not true, Senior Zixiao. You've given us enough money. Since our Demon Wind Monster Hunting Team has accepted the commission, we will naturally not be cowards.

But you have also seen that the corpses along the way are all fresh. Killing the foundation-building monks is like slaughtering chickens. It is obviously the work of the Purple Mansion Great Monk. It is understandable that the brothers are a little scared, isn't it? "

"Don't think I don't know your little tricks. After the job is done, I will give each of you an additional 30% commission. This is the last time. If you dare to push your luck again... humph!"

Zi Xiao snorted coldly, which immediately frightened the bald man so much that he broke out in a sweat and nodded and bowed for a long time.

However, his men were secretly delighted as the commission had increased by another 30%. This trip was much more promising than hunting monsters.

Yes, how could those who have been living on the edge of a knife all year round be scared by such a small scene? They are just using it to make a little more commission.

The bald man glared at his subordinates and asked flatteringly, "Senior Zixiao, should we speed up a little? Aren't you afraid that someone will get there first?"

“Haha, if those idiots really had that ability, they would have found it long ago. Why would they wait until now?

Don't worry, that little girl can't escape from my grasp. Although I don't know how she got into that place, I can catch her in the trap." Zi Xiao sneered.

The bald man observed his expression and immediately flattered, "Then I would like to congratulate you in advance for obtaining that magical object from heaven and earth."

"A spiritual thing of heaven and earth? Humph, you are so stupid. Do you think I am only after that [Genjin Qi]?"

"Is it... isn't it?" the bald man hesitantly said.

"The spiritual objects of heaven and earth are just incidental. You idiots have no idea what kind of opportunities are contained in this cave." Zi Xiao looked disdainful. In his opinion, no matter whether they were outside or inside, they were all idiots who put the cart before the horse.

Hearing the other party calling him an idiot, the bald man was not angry at all. Instead, he kept flattering him, which made Zixiao feel a little flattered.

Just when he was about to open the eyes of these idiots, he suddenly stopped, looked sharply at the place not far ahead, and said in a cold voice: "Which Taoist friend is here? Eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a gentleman's behavior."

"Fellow Daoist, you are wrong. We two brothers have been recuperating here for quite a while. How can you be considered eavesdropping?"

At the corner of the passage, Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang walked out calmly and looked at Zi Xiao calmly...
