Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Chapter 387 A child asks an immortal and attacks Xiangzhou

"Line up, come one by one, no loud noises, no pushing, no queue cutting."

In the city of the mortal world, Song Changyang looked at the endless long dragon in front of him and felt that life was hopeless because there were just too many people.

Two hundred thousand, what a scary number.

He suddenly felt somewhat envious of those fellow clansmen who went to the family's mortal world to preside over the Ascension Conference. Apart from anything else, the workload was at least several times easier than his.

At this time, another child walked out of the measuring room with his head down, and without saying anything, he squatted at the door and cried loudly.

Seeing this, the child's parents hurried over and pulled him away. Before leaving, they bowed and nodded to apologize to Song Changyang.

Song Changyang waved his hand expressionlessly, signaling them to leave. He was already accustomed to this situation.

After all, the birth of spiritual roots is a low-probability event. Sometimes, even after testing hundreds or thousands of people, not even one with spiritual roots may emerge.

Therefore, measuring spiritual roots is actually a very boring and tedious task.

"Next one." Song Changyang said indifferently.

At this time, two boys came up together. The moment Song Changyang saw the two of them, he couldn't help but be stunned, because the two of them were almost the same in height, clothing, and even appearance, and the difference was almost invisible to the naked eye.

The only difference between the two is the hairband on their heads, one black and one white.

Song Changyang couldn't help but become a little interested: "Twins?"

"To reply to the Immortal Envoy, that's right."

The person who answered was a boy with a black hairband. Although he was still young, he was very calm and walked lightly without looking around. He was not at all nervous when facing the "immortal" Song Changyang, and he spoke clearly and respectfully.

On the other hand, the other boy with a white hairband has been looking around like a curious baby since he came up, and occasionally glanced at Song Changyang, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Young man, what are you looking at?" Song Changyang asked curiously.

The child didn't seem to expect that his little trick would be discovered. He scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "My mother said you are an immortal, but I see that you also have a nose, two eyes, and a mouth. You seem to be no different from us."

As soon as these words were spoken, the boy next to him changed his expression and quickly reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

Song Changyang did not take it as an offense, he laughed and said: "Your mother is wrong, I am not an immortal, I am just an ordinary cultivator, born by my father and raised by my mother, naturally there is no difference between me and you."

The boy was obviously disappointed when he heard this, but he suddenly cheered up and asked, "Have you ever seen a real immortal?"

Song Changyang was stunned, shook his head and said: "The immortal is a legendary figure, how can I see him?

I have personally witnessed the charisma of the clan leader and the supreme elder; they could collapse mountains and break rivers with a wave of their hands, but even at their level, they were still far from the legendary immortals.

I am telling you all this now and you may not have any idea of ​​it. But when you embark on the path to immortality, you will understand what the word "immortal" stands for.

All right, go in."

Song Changyang moved aside and motioned them to move forward.

The boy who had spoken to Song Changyang earlier was planning to leave, but was pulled back by the boy with the black hairband. The two of them bowed respectfully to Song Changyang, and then walked towards the spirit-testing room together.

After walking away, Song Changyang could still vaguely hear some scolding voices, probably telling the boy with the white hairband not to talk nonsense or something like that.

"Two interesting guys." Song Changyang smiled slightly, with a little more expectation in his heart...

But when the two brothers pushed the door and entered the spirit-testing room, they heard a cold voice in their ears: "Put your hand on the compass in front of you."

The boy with a black hairband took a deep breath and slowly placed his left hand on the spirit-testing platform. Then there was a wait that was not long but extremely painful.

No matter how calm he appeared, he was only an eight-year-old child after all. It was inevitable that he would feel nervous when faced with such a major event that could determine his life.

He only saw a faint fluorescence emanating from his palm, then gathering together and turning into a bright thin line spreading upward along a pillar behind the compass.

When the line reached the top of the pillar, the compass in his hand suddenly burst into dazzling light.

He subconsciously put up his hands to cover his eyes. When the strong light faded, he took his hands off his eyes, only to find that a beautiful sister had appeared in front of him without him noticing.

The other person looked at him as if he were looking at a piece of gold, sparkling.

"What's your name?" Song Changxue squatted down and asked softly.

"Reporting to the Immortal Envoy, my name is Qin Ze."

"Qin Ze, you are very good. You have five inches of gold spiritual roots and seven inches of water spiritual roots. Go wait aside." Song Changxue smiled slightly and motioned for him to wait aside.

"Dual spiritual roots of gold and water?" Qin Ze was slightly stunned, and then his heart was filled with great joy. He suppressed his excitement and bowed to Song Changxue, then stood aside and gave his brother an encouraging look.

Little did he know that not only he was excited, Song Changxue was also very excited. She knew that she had found a treasure today.

She stood up and walked to the other child, and whispered, "You are my younger brother? What's your name?"

"My name is Qin Yu." The boy said impatiently.

"Very good, just like him, put your hands on it, and then don't think about anything."

Faced with this test that would determine his future destiny, Qin Yu did not feel nervous at all. Instead, he was eager to give it a try.

After Song Changxue finished speaking, he pressed his right hand on it.

A moment later, the compass also burst out with dazzling light. This time Qin Ze saw it clearly. It was gold and red. His heart was excited again. He knew that Qin Yu, like him, also had spiritual roots.

Among the people present, Qin Yu was the only one who didn't know what had happened and had a confused look on his face.

"Excuse me, Immortal Envoy, what are my brother's qualifications?" Qin Ze asked boldly. This was the first time he took the initiative to speak from the beginning to now.

"Five inches of gold spiritual roots, seven inches of fire spiritual roots, you two brothers really gave this elder a big surprise." Song Changxue's face was full of joy. When she saw Qin Ze's spiritual test results, she knew that the other one's aptitude was not much worse, and Qin Yu did not disappoint him, he was only a little bit worse than Qin Ze.

A long time ago, someone discovered a strange phenomenon: some twins looked very similar, while others looked very different. For those with very similar looks, as long as one of them had spiritual roots, the other one must also have spiritual roots, and their aptitudes would not differ too much.

On the other hand, those with different appearances may have one with spiritual roots and the other without.

Even if both of them have it, there may be a big gap in their qualifications.

Regarding this issue, there is a saying circulating in the world of cultivation that twins with similar appearances are actually one and the same, differentiated from the same essence, so they are almost the same in appearance and qualifications.

Those with very different appearances are formed from two different essences. Although they are conceived and born together, they are two different individuals, just like ordinary brothers and sisters, so they cannot be considered twins.

In this world, only Qin Ze and Qin Yu are true twins, and they are usually regarded as a whole.

Qin Yu, who was slow to react, gradually came back to his senses after hearing Song Changxue's words. He jumped up excitedly: "I have spiritual roots? That's great, I have spiritual roots, I also have spiritual roots, I am also an immortal!"

Qin Ze quickly pulled him aside and warned him not to get too complacent.

Qin Yu, however, ignored him and danced with excitement.

"I was too excited, I hope the elder will forgive me." Qin Ze said to Song Changxue with an embarrassed look on his face.

"What? Are you unhappy?" Song Changxue looked at him strangely. He was obviously just a child, but he behaved calmer than many adults.

"I am naturally happy in my heart, but mother said that those who achieve great things must not show their emotions on their faces. I will always keep this in mind." Qin Ze said softly.

There was a flash of surprise in Song Changxue's eyes. Many people knew this sentence, but only a few could do it.

She was so delighted that she called a steward and said, "Take them down and settle them down properly. Also, send someone to pick up their parents and relatives."

"clear."

Watching the two little guys leaving, Song Changxue sighed and whispered softly: "It would be great if you had the last name Song..."

This "Ascension Conference" lasted for 28 days before the testing of 200,000 eligible children was completed, of which 216 people had spiritual roots.

The long-awaited natural spiritual roots did not appear, and there were not even any special spiritual roots. There were only five double spiritual roots. The one with the best aptitude was a girl with double spiritual roots of water and wood. Both of her spiritual roots reached seven inches.

In addition, there are the two brothers Qin Ze and Qin Yu.

The remaining two are a level lower than them, but they both have potential.

In addition, there are sixteen of the three spiritual roots, which is considered a full harvest.

It was naturally impossible for the Song family to accept so many people. Song Changxue only picked out fifty of the most outstanding ones and threw the remaining one hundred or so to the old ghost Chihuo. Led by him, together with the backbone members sent by the Song family, they formed an organization similar to a school.

Song Luzhou specifically set aside a portion of the annual offerings from the major forces in Yangzhou to maintain the operation of the school.

The Song family will support these children who enter the school to practice until they are eighteen years old. After they reach adulthood, depending on their performance, those with outstanding performance will enter the Wind Whisper Palace to serve, and those with better performance can serve as garrisons in the major secular cities under the Tianyang Peak, and the Song family will provide them with regular salaries.

If you don't want to waste your time in the mortal world, you can join the Song family's monster hunting team or go out and explore, as long as you don't become an enemy of the Song family in the future.

This will be the case every year in the future. Although it is a considerable expense, what the Song family lacks the least now is basic resources.

These people may not seem noticeable at first, but as time goes by, they become an extremely powerful force.

These are some helpers trained by the Song family for the old man Chihuo. Although he has already taken in several concubines and has expanded his family, the power at hand is still too weak. If he wants to defend Yangzhou for the Song family, he cannot do without the help of these people.

After everything was settled, Song Changxue and the others did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they waited on Tianyang Peak. What they were waiting for was nothing else but an explanation from the seven major families on the attack.

Song Qingming once gave them a month, and now it is almost up.

If they haven't dealt with it yet, then the Song family doesn't mind dealing with it for them!
……

"You mean to say that some people in your clan, dissatisfied with you for leading the people to submit to our clan, united to plan this attack, with the intention of angering us and forcing us to kill, so as to break up between you and the Song family?
"Clan leader Chu, did this elder understand correctly?" Song Changxue sat below the old ghost Chihuo, and his voice made it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Compared to before, Chu Nanfeng seemed to have aged ten years. He responded without even raising his head: "Not bad."

"Heh, interesting."

Song Changxue couldn't help but sneer, and stood up and said: "My fellow clan leaders, since you surrendered, has the Song family done anything wrong to you?
You had previously formed an alliance and were planning to resist, but our clan leader pardoned you and will not pursue the matter.

You have previously occupied the properties under the name of the Lieyang Sect without permission, and our clan has never punished you. We only asked you to give up a small part of it.

You said that Yangzhou had just experienced a great chaos and there was a lot of work to be done, so you requested to reduce the tribute. My clan accepted your request and allowed you to pay only half of the tribute within ten years, and pay it once every five years.

"We have done our utmost to treat you well, yet there are still people who want to do something bad. That's great, it's really great!"

Although Song Changxue was only a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building and his cultivation was lower than that of everyone present, the aura he exuded made it difficult for them to look directly at him.

Because standing behind her is the Song family, it would be easy to destroy them!

Bai Ruohong quickly stepped out of the line and complained, "Elder Changxue, please calm down. We have all seen the kindness of the clan leader and we have never been dissatisfied. It was really some brainless idiots in the clan who were deceived by outsiders and made this big mistake.

We have now caught all these people and detained them outside the palace, leaving it to Elder Changxue to deal with them."

"Yes, it's all because of the Haoran Alliance. These people were deceived by them. Now they have all been arrested. Elder, please forgive me."

"Haoran Alliance." Song Changxue narrowed his eyes slightly. This group of rats hiding in the dark have been making more and more moves recently.

She turned her head and looked at the old ghost Chihuo and said, "Elder Chihuo, the clan leader appointed you as the head of Yangzhou. How do you think we should deal with today's incident?"

Hearing this, the old ghost Chihuo said expressionlessly: "Those people outside the palace are guilty of unforgivable crimes and should be handed over to the clan leaders to be executed in person in front of their entire clan.

In addition, the seven clans should make amends for their crimes. I will give you three months to gather the elite of the clan and attack the Qingyuan Mountain Range in Xiangzhou. Before the end of the year, this elder needs to see the Song clan's flag planted on Qingyuan Mountain!"

As soon as the words fell, a look of horror flashed across the faces of the seven people...
