Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

The Green Ape Mountain Range is located to the west of Xiangzhou, only three thousand miles away from Yangzhou, and is controlled by the Green Ape Wang Clan.

The [Green Ape Wang Family] is one of the top three families in Xiangzhou. The overall strength of the family should not be underestimated. If they want to capture the Green Ape Mountains, even if the seven major families unite, they will have to pay a bloody price.

What's more, the old ghost Chihuo only gave them less than half a year.

But this is nothing compared to the previous one.

The old ghost Chihuo actually asked them to carry out the execution personally!
Those people are all their clansmen, and some of them are closely related by blood. Sending them here to be dealt with by Song Changxue has already chilled the hearts of all the clansmen.

If these people were executed in front of them, the scene would be unimaginable.

Moreover, there are already a small number of people in the clan who are dissatisfied with their submission to the Song family. Wouldn’t this cause an uproar?
Chu Nanfeng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Elder Chihuo, these people dared to rebel, so they deserve to die. We will never shield them, but I think it is better to let the two elders of the Song family deal with them. Only in this way can we show our determination."

Hearing this, the old ghost Chihuo said sinisterly: "Is that so? Chief Chu can't do it, right? You still care about the feelings of your fellow tribesmen, but did those people hesitate at all when they framed you?
Patriarch Chu, I advise you to think carefully. If they succeed in framing us, the seven major families will all have new patriarchs. Can you still stand in front of me and speak?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old ghost Chihuo clearly saw the blue veins bulging on Chu Nanfeng's forehead, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Those people outside the door were destined to die from the very beginning, the only difference was how they died.

Although these seven people would be cursed by their own clansmen if they died at the hands of the Song family, the main hatred would be directed at the Song family, which would be detrimental to the Song family's future rule.

But it would be different if they died at the hands of their own family leader, as all the firepower would be poured on them.

Even if they said that it was the Song family's instruction, the clan members would not buy it.

After all, there is a saying that goes, why don’t you dare to go up and fight?

You do whatever they tell you to do. Isn't that like being a dog for them?
Although the seven major families are now the "running dogs" of the Song family, only a few people have this awareness. They will only think that their family heads are traitors to the family.

By then, the prestige of these seven people in the clan will surely plummet.

If this continues, there will be discord among the major families, which is something the Song family would like to see. After all, it would be quite a headache if the seven major families united.

Chihuo had no intention of hiding his intentions. This was an open conspiracy. They could either carry it out or choose to resist and then be crushed to pieces under the wheels of the Song family's chariot.

It was obvious that they did not have the courage to resist. They were cowards when the Lieyang Sect was around, and they were even more so now.

"Chu... understands." Chu Nanfeng almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth. He didn't dare to look up because he was afraid that Chihuo could see hatred and anger in his eyes.

The old ghost Chihuo didn't even glance at him, but looked at the others and asked, "What about you?"

He was responded by a sparse voice. As he expected, no one dared to resist.

"Well, go and deal with it quickly, and don't leave it outside to get in the way." The old ghost Chihuo didn't even raise his eyelids and sent the guest away directly.

There was a strange flash in Song Changxue's eyes. Chihuo's methods were more brutal than she had imagined, but they were very much in line with the interests of the Song family.

"Now that everything has been settled, I have to take my leave. I have been away for more than a month, and it is time to return to my family to report." Song Changxue stood up and said goodbye.

"In that case, I won't try to persuade you to stay any longer. Please be careful along the way."

"Okay, I'll have to trouble Elder Chihuo to take care of Yangzhou. The Haoran Alliance has been making small moves recently. I'm afraid they are targeting us. We must not let our guard down."

"Don't worry, since the young master has handed Yangzhou over to me, I will naturally protect it for him."

After that, the two bowed and said goodbye.

Song Changxue returned to the Black Star Ship and told Song Qingming what had just happened.

Song Qingming couldn't help but exclaimed: "Elder Chihuo is really ruthless in his actions. Now, Chu Nanfeng and the others must hate him to death, right?

He is guarding Yangzhou alone, and I am really worried that something unexpected will happen to him one day."

"Have you forgotten who he was before? The clan leader saw this in him and asked him to guard Yangzhou. After all, it takes evil to deal with evil.

We were too lenient with them before, which made them lose their sense of awe. We can take this opportunity to teach them a lesson.

As for the safety of Elder Chihuo, you can rest assured. Chu Nanfeng and the others are more worried about Elder Chihuo than we are. Let's go back to the family."

Song Qingming pondered Song Changxue's words carefully, and suddenly a smile of enlightenment appeared on his face. Chihuo represented the reputation of the Song family. If something happened to him in Yangzhou, these seven families would be the top suspects one by one.

By then it won't be as simple as just a few pawns dying.

Three days later, the warship returned to Lingzhou without alerting anyone except a few people...

In the retreat room, Song Changsheng sat cross-legged, meditating on the Yuan and concentrating on refining the [Genjin Qi], and had completely forgotten about time.

Song Changsheng has dual spiritual roots of water and fire. If he wants to break through to the golden elixir in the future, he will need to refine the spiritual objects of the three attributes of gold, wood, and earth to replenish his own Taoist rhyme, transform the hidden spiritual roots in his body into visible spiritual roots, achieve the perfection of the five elements, and break through in one fell swoop with the [Five Elements Golden Elixir Dao].

This is the method with the highest success rate at present.

However, not only are the five elements spiritual objects hard to find, but they also have to distinguish between yin and yang. This is a huge burden for independent cultivators and small families. Therefore, most cultivators in this world can only stop at the Purple Mansion. It is as difficult as ascending to heaven to go any further.

Therefore, Mu Guibai's breakthrough to the Golden Core caused such a sensation, because he was the only cultivator in the past thousand years in Da Qi, Lu, and Gusu who was not from a Golden Core force but had broken through to the Golden Core.

This seems a bit strange. Does a Jindan cultivator have to come from a Jindan force?
Of course not. The world is so big, there will always be some lucky people.

But in general, 90% of the Jindan cultivators in this world come from Jindan and above forces, and resource monopoly is no joke.

For a family like the Song family, even if they mobilized the entire family, they might not be able to support a Jindan cultivator.

Because you have to have all four of these: talent, circle, money, and luck.

Without a genius, it is impossible to cultivate to the great perfection of Purple Mansion.

If you can’t enter that circle, you will have almost no channels to obtain spiritual objects from heaven and earth.

Well, even if you meet the first two requirements, without money, you won’t be able to afford spiritual objects for sale.

Not to mention luck. Not to mention that spiritual objects in heaven and earth are hard to come by, even to survive the golden elixir thunder tribulation, luck is also needed.

Otherwise, it would be a handful of ashes. The Song family was undoubtedly lucky to have produced Song Changsheng.

There is no shortage of money for the time being.

As for the circle, if we hold on tightly to the thick leg of Luoxia City, it should be able to be solved.

As for the final luck, it is something that cannot be influenced or changed by human power.

However, from the current perspective, Song Changsheng's luck is pretty good. Not long after he broke through the Purple Mansion, Zhuang Yuechan found the yang-attributed [Gen Jin Qi] for him, which saved him a lot of energy.

But the price is also extremely high.

Guilt and emotion intertwined in Song Changsheng's heart, and eventually all turned into his motivation to move forward. Only if his strength is strong enough can he protect everything he cherishes!
Time flies like a white horse passing by in a blink of an eye.

Song Changsheng, who had been sitting in meditation for more than a year, finally slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam of sharpness flashed in his eyes.

This year, his body seemed to have undergone many changes. The angles of his face became more distinct, and he had an indescribable temperament.

Refining the [Genjin Qi] did not bring much improvement to his cultivation, but instead improved his fighting ability compared to before.

But the exact improvement is not quantifiable.

He waved his sleeves to open the long-sealed door, and a deacon hurriedly came forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Congratulations, clan leader, for coming out of seclusion."

Song Changsheng glanced at him and knew that he was the steward of the General Affairs Hall. He must be waiting here because he had something to report to him.

"During the time I'm in seclusion, is there anything important happening in the family?"

"Reporting to the clan leader, everything has been recorded. Please read it." The deacon hurriedly took out a booklet from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

Song Changsheng took it and took a quick glance, and found that a lot of things had happened in the family during this period of time.

The first was the Ascension Conference. Not only were the harvests from Yangzhou surprising, but with the rapid increase in population in the family, the number of children with spiritual roots also surpassed the past. Last year alone, there were sixty-two children. Although there was only one cultivator with dual spiritual roots, it was still a big surprise for Song Changsheng.

Because the Song family is really short of people now.

It only takes eight to ten years for them to become the pillars of the Song family in various fields.

If this piece of news surprised him, the next one was a little surprising.

"The entire Qingyuan Wang family has surrendered, and now all the land within a radius of three thousand miles of Qingyuan Mountain has belonged to the family?" Song Changsheng raised his eyebrows unconsciously, and looked at it over and over again several times before making sure he was not seeing things.

"How is this going?"

“Reporting to the clan leader, Elder Changxue and Elder Qingming were attacked when they went to Yangzhou that day. It was later found out that some people from the seven clans of Yangzhou were bewitched by the Haoran Alliance.

Although the seven clan leaders later dealt with the rebels personally, Elder Chihuo believed that they were unmanageable and ordered them to capture the Green Ape Mountains before the end of the year.

Three months ago, the seven major families gathered twelve foundation-building monks and seven hundred Qi-cultivating monks to attack the [Green Ape Wang Clan].

Who would have thought that it was just a lot of thunder but little rain? After seeing our clan's flag, the [Green Ape Wang Clan] gave up the resistance, and their clan leader even came to Cangmang Peak in person to express his willingness to submit to the clan, and he has not left yet. "The steward quickly recounted the cause and effect of the matter to Song Changsheng.

Song Changsheng smiled lightly when he heard this: "This Chu Nanfeng is really smart. He actually acts in the name of my clan."

"Chief, do you want to punish me?" The deacon quickly took out a small notebook, looking ready to take orders at any time.

"What crime should they be punished for? They were just following orders, so they should be rewarded. This time, they can be considered as having made meritorious contributions while serving their sentence.

[Qingyuan Wang Clan] Since you have sincerely surrendered, it is a good thing for the family. It gives us a springboard to the outside world in Xiangzhou.

Please make arrangements. I want to meet this clan leader." Song Changsheng quickly read the rest of the content and said to the deacon in front of him.

"As ordered."

……

In the side hall of the Song family, Wang Mingren was a little restless, standing up and looking around from time to time. When he saw a figure emerging in the distance, he quickly sat up straight.

When the tall figure arrived at the door, Wang Mingren quickly stood up, bowed to the ground, and said in a clear voice: "Wang Mingren, the patriarch of the [Green Ape Wang Clan], greets the clan leader. I wish the clan leader's immortal luck will not decline and he will achieve the golden elixir."

Song Changsheng waved his hand casually and said, "Patriarch Wang, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

He walked to the main seat and sat down, and Wang Mingren sat back carefully, his back straight, his whole body revealing nervousness.

Song Changsheng looked him up and down, and said with some surprise: "Patriarch Wang is so young."

He was not joking. The person in front of him was indeed young, probably less than fifty years old, and had only reached the middle stage of foundation building.

Such a young patriarch is rare. You know, this Wang family is much stronger than the one in Lingzhou.

If someone had not been sent to verify it, Song Changsheng would have suspected whether this was an abandoned child pushed out by the Wang family.

This question was obviously not the first time Wang Mingren had been asked. Hearing this, he quickly said, "In response to the Sect Master's words, my father was the previous patriarch of the family. He unfortunately passed away three years ago. The elders in the family saw that I had some talent, so they recommended me to be the patriarch."

"I see. The King Patriarch is so young and yet he is able to represent the entire clan. This shows that he is quite capable."

When Song Changsheng said this, he was completely unaware that he was younger than the other party when he succeeded the clan leader, and he was not even older than Wang Mingren.

But Wang Mingren did not feel anything wrong, because this world advocates that the most accomplished ones come first. Song Changsheng is a Purple Mansion cultivator, so he is a senior, no matter how young he is.

After talking about this and that for a while, Song Changsheng finally got to the point.

"The Wang family is a big family in Xiangzhou. Why would they suddenly want to join our family?"

"If you hadn't put the knife to my neck, do you think I would be willing to be a dog for someone?" Wang Mingren couldn't help but secretly complain when he heard this, but the words changed their tone when they came to his lips.

Wang Mingren's expression suddenly became solemn. He lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground with a plop. He banged his head on the ground and complained tearfully, "I really can't live any longer. Please, Master, save the lives of more than 800 people in my Wang family!"

This kneeling made Song Changsheng completely confused. What was going on?
