Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Looking at the two people who appeared in front of him, Zi Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. He was unable to find any trace of the two people at first. Although the cave suppressed his spiritual sense, it also showed that these two people were extraordinary.

However, seeing that their cultivation was only at the initial stage of Purple Mansion, Zi Xiao felt relieved. Just two cultivators at the initial stage of Purple Mansion, even if they overheard something, it would not affect the overall situation.

"Hmph, it's my fault anyway. Since it's just a misunderstanding, let's just forget about it. Heifeng, let's go." Zixiao snorted coldly and was about to pass the two and continue forward.

Unexpectedly, Song Changsheng stepped in front of him and said with a chuckle, "Daoyou, please stay. We two brothers are very interested in what you just said. I wonder if you can satisfy our curiosity?"

Hearing Song Changsheng's outrageous request, Zi Xiao raised his brows and was about to make a sarcastic remark, but he swallowed the words back and smiled with an ambiguous smile on his face, "You two want to know?"

"Fellow Daoist, are you willing to tell me?" Song Changsheng raised his eyebrows. Now it was his turn to be surprised. He originally thought that it would take some twists and turns, but now it seems that things are going unexpectedly smoothly.

"Of course it's not without conditions. If you two can agree, I can satisfy your curiosity."

Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang looked at each other, nodded slightly and said, "Daoyou, please tell us first."

"As long as you accept my employment like them and lend me a helping hand at the critical moment, I will not only let you witness the opportunities hidden in this Jinxuan Grotto, but also give you generous rewards."

Hearing this, Song Changsheng remained calm on the surface, but his heart was full of doubt. Although he and Niu Dazhuang did have this idea in the beginning, Zi Xiao's initiative to bring it up made him feel that it was not real.

But at this moment, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Song Changsheng glanced at the group of black-robed men and said disdainfully: "Daoyou, the price of our two brothers is not comparable to that of these minions. If you want us to sacrifice our lives, I'm afraid you can't afford it."

"After the matter is accomplished, the [Genjin Qi] will belong to you, how about it?" Zi Xiao said calmly.

"Are you serious?" Song Changsheng showed a look of surprise and greed at the right time.

"I never lie. This thing is of no use to me."

"In that case, we two brothers are willing to obey your orders."

Seeing this, Zi Xiao showed a satisfied smile on his face, nodded and said, "What are your names, and which sects are you from?"

Song Changsheng said calmly, "Zhu Yiqun has no sect or faction, he is just an independent cultivator."

"Liu Mang, a casual cultivator." Niu Dazhuang bowed perfunctorily and said in a muffled voice.

Two very unfamiliar names, but Zi Xiao did not doubt their words too much. There had been many independent cultivators coming to the Jinxuan Grottoes in recent days, and it was impossible for him to know them all.

And this is not important to him. What he cares about is only the cultivation of these two people.

He said with a fake smile on his face: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, Fellow Daoist Liu, you will follow the team in a while. I will notify you in advance if there is any need for your help."

"make a deal."

Song Changsheng responded, and this ridiculous deal was settled.

The two men stepped aside to make way, and the team continued to set off. Heifeng, the bald man who led the Demon Wind Monster Hunting Team, stepped forward a little and secretly sent a message to Zixiao, "Senior Zi, the evil spirits of these two people have not yet dissipated. Those people we saw before may have died at their hands."

Zi Xiao responded calmly: "Why, do you want to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens?"

Hei Feng immediately shrank his neck in fear. Those were two Purple Mansion cultivators. He was not bold enough to do that. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Senior, you are joking. What I meant was that these two people are so murderous and their origins are unknown. I'm afraid they have ulterior motives in approaching us."

"Haha, do you think that I can't think of something that you can think of with your brain?"

"Then...then why did the senior still hire them?" Heifeng suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.

"I hired them naturally because they are useful. When is it your turn to question them?" Zixiao glanced at Heifeng indifferently. That cold look made Heifeng's hair stand on end. He immediately lowered his head and dared not say anything more.

While Zixiao was beating Heifeng, Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang were also communicating privately.

"Brother, please hold back your anger for a moment. Once we find Yuechan, none of them will be able to escape." Song Changsheng advised earnestly.

If it weren’t for Zixiao’s subsequent words, the two of them would have rushed out as soon as they heard the words “Demon Wind Demon Hunting Team”.

Because according to the information Song Changsheng had gathered, it was this so-called Demon Wind Hunting Team that spread the news that Zhuang Yuechan had obtained the spiritual object of heaven and earth.

For this reason alone, this group of people deserve to die!

But Zixiao's words forced the two of them to suppress the murderous intent in their hearts.

Although they didn't hear much, it contained a lot of information.

First, Zhuang Yuechan entered a secret place in the cave, so these people have not found her for three months.

Secondly, Zi Xiao was very familiar with the Jinxuan Grotto and had somehow found out the location of Zhuang Yuechan, but his main goal was the opportunity hidden in her hiding place.

Third, Zi Xiao really needs people.

It was precisely because of the analysis of these information that Song Changsheng made the temporary decision: to join Zixiao and others to find the whereabouts of Zhuang Yuechan.

As for why Song Changsheng was confident that Zixiao would accept their joining, this brings us to the third point. He was short of people, or in other words, short of cannon fodder.

Otherwise, there would be no need for him to hire the "Demon Wind Hunting Team".

Because these people have no other use except being cannon fodder.

Since he can hire these people, it is naturally possible for him to hire them. Two Purple Mansion cultivators are always better than Foundation Establishment cultivators, right?
And the most important thing is that from their conversation, it can be seen that Zi Xiao is a very conceited person. His cultivation has reached the late stage of Purple Mansion, far surpassing the two of them. With his conceited character, even if he knows that the two of them have ulterior motives, he will think that he can easily control the situation.

Things developed just as Song Changsheng expected, and even more smoothly, which indirectly proved that his guess was correct.

Both sides had their own ulterior motives, but on the surface they still appeared to be in harmony. In this strange atmosphere, Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang followed Zi Xiao and continued to go deeper into the cave.

After turning into a fork in the road, Zi Xiao suddenly stopped.

"Senior, what's wrong?" Heifeng asked puzzledly.

Zi Xiao sneered and said, "We underestimated them. There are actually people who are one step ahead of us. Speed ​​up."

The team suddenly sped up, and in less than half an hour they caught up with the team in front.

The other party had obviously discovered them a long time ago and was already on high alert. "Ziyun Pavilion."

Seeing the familiar clothes on the group of people, Song Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they had not found Zhuang Yuechan yet, which was a good thing for them.

Niu Dazhuang on the side also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was wondering who it was. Turns out you're from Ziyun Pavilion. I'm really surprised that you could find this place." Zixiao stepped forward and said contemptuously to an old man in Ziyun Pavilion who was wearing a white robe with cloud patterns.

"Zi Xiao, it's you!" The old man's face changed suddenly the moment he saw Zi Xiao, and the faces of all the disciples of Ziyun Pavilion also turned pale.

Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang had just arrived and did not know Zi Xiao's vicious reputation, but he knew very well that Zi Xiao was a ruthless person who would do anything to achieve his goals. If they met him here, a fight would be inevitable.

But his cultivation level was only in the middle stage of Purple Mansion, and he was no match for Zi Xiao at all, not to mention that there was more than one Purple Mansion cultivator on the other side.

Thinking of this, he made a prompt decision and said, "We, Ziyun Pavilion, will no longer participate in the fight for the spiritual objects of heaven and earth. We will withdraw from this. Daoist Zi, are you willing to stay out of our way?"

Zi Xiao crossed his arms, and smiled grimly when he heard this: "Of course... No!"

After saying that, Zi Xiao flashed and rushed forward.

Upon seeing this, Heifeng and others rushed forward with grim smiles on their faces and started fighting with the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Ziyun Pavilion.

"Zi Xiao, do you really want to kill them all?" the Purple Mansion cultivator from the Purple Cloud Pavilion shouted loudly.

Hearing his words, Zi Xiao almost laughed out loud, and said coldly: "Haha, if I let you go, who knows if you will leak the news. For the sake of my great plan, I can only ask you to die. I also ask the two fellow Taoists to lend a helping hand to me."

Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang looked at each other and stepped forward together.

Ziyun Pavilion had always been a potential threat to Zhuang Yuechan, and since they had run into it here, there was naturally no reason for them to let it go.

With the combined efforts of the three, the Purple Mansion cultivator led by Ziyun Pavilion was simply unable to resist and had to suffer the consequences.

The six foundation-building monks who followed him were also killed by Heifeng and his men.

After this battle, Ziyun Pavilion can be said to be half destroyed. In the current environment of Gusu's cultivation world, it is unknown whether it can survive.

Zi Xiao was calm and collected the spoils. Then he led the group of people, who were full of murderous intent, to the end of the passage. What was surprising was that there was a bronze door engraved with intricate patterns.

The moment he approached the bronze door, the fish-shaped jade pendant that Song Changsheng placed on his chest became slightly hot.

"It's Yuechan, Yuechan is in there!" Song Changsheng was a little excited. This jade pendant was given to him by Zhuang Yuechan when he went to Xianxian Valley that year. There was one yin and one yang, one for each of them.

As long as the distance is within a hundred miles, the jade pendants will be able to sense each other.

Since the jade pendant reacted, it meant that Zhuang Yuechan was behind the bronze gate.

What puzzled Song Changsheng was that the Jinxuan Grottoes had only appeared in the public eye in the past few months, so why was there such a bronze door that looked very old in its depths?
Perhaps seeing their confusion, Zi Xiao reached out and gently stroked the pattern on the bronze door and said, "Five thousand years ago, a meteorite from outer space fell here, and the Meteorite Mountain Range got its name from this.

Hundreds of years later, a Jindan Zhenren passed by this place and accidentally discovered that the meteorite contained the origin of the law, so he built this cave and placed his cave residence in it.

Because he had been practicing the origin of the laws for many years, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. In the end, he only needed to completely integrate the origin to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, an accident occurred during the fusion process. The Jindan Zhenren went crazy and not only cut off the spiritual vein here, but also rushed out to kill people. He was then besieged by the whole Gusu.

He had a high level of cultivation and fought his way out of the encirclement, but he was still seriously injured and passed away soon after.

My master inherited his legacy by chance, and learned some clues about this place from the notes he left behind.

It was just that due to the powerful restrictions placed here, Master had never been able to open it in his entire life.

Later I learned that the restriction could only be broken when the spiritual energy revived. I thought I would never see that day in my lifetime, but luckily God saw me and let me wait for this day!
Fellow Daoist Liu, Fellow Daoist Zhu, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the most suitable time to merge the origin. As long as you help me open this door, I am willing to share it with you!"

There was a hint of fanaticism in Zixiao's eyes, and the endless fire of desire seemed to burn everything.

Even though they were well prepared, Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang couldn't help but breathe faster. The origin of the law, that was a treasure that even a Jindan Zhenren would go crazy for!

"Fellow Daoist Zi, are you serious?" Song Changsheng asked in a deep voice.

"Of course, my cultivation is not enough to integrate all the origins of the laws. I will only take 50%, and the rest is yours!"

Song Changsheng put on a greedy look at the right moment and said excitedly: "Okay, you tell me what to do!"

"Let's work together and inject our magic power into the bronze door to open it!"

As soon as the words fell, the three of them cast a spell together, and tremendous magic power poured into the bronze door. The originally dull bronze door suddenly shone brightly and opened to both sides with a rumble.

Song Changsheng was a little surprised when he saw this. The process was much easier than he had imagined. It seemed that even without them, Zixiao alone was enough to open it.

When the bronze door was fully opened, a hot breath blew in, and a cesspool filled with magma appeared in front of everyone.

On the stone wall opposite the lava pool, there is another bronze door, which seems to be waiting for the right person to open it.

"It's exactly the same as recorded, exactly the same!" Zi Xiao's expression was a little crazy, which was the expression of a person when he was extremely excited.

"Fellow Daoist Zi, how do we get there? It shouldn't be as simple as just flying over, right?" Song Changsheng asked with a frown.

"Of course, there is a forbidden flying formation here. If you are below the Golden Core level, flying in the air is a dead end!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly felt a chill. If they fell into the magma below, even a Purple Mansion cultivator would have no way out.

Zi Xiao stamped his feet and muttered a few strange spells. In an instant, stone slabs engraved with intricate patterns appeared in front of them, extending all the way to the bronze door opposite.

Looking at the stone slab in front of him, Zi Xiao had no intention of stepping on it. Instead, he pointed to a foundation-building cultivator in the team and said, "You, go up!"
