Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"Patriarch Wang, why are you doing this?"

Song Changsheng frowned slightly. After all, he was the head of the clan and a foundation-building cultivator, but his behavior was so... unbearable.

"Please, Sect Master, make the decision for the Wang family." Wang Mingren had already given up completely, and his attitude was extremely humble. After all, the person he was kneeling to was a Purple Mansion cultivator, so it was not shameful.

"Please stand up and talk. If you have any difficulties, I will not stand idly by." Song Changsheng suddenly felt a headache. Perhaps it was a mistake for him to come to see him today.

Hearing Song Changsheng's words, Wang Mingren quickly got up from the ground and said carefully: "Master, this is what happened. A year ago, a disciple of our clan accidentally discovered a...spiritual stone vein under an unnamed barren mountain in the Qingyuan Mountains."

"Spiritual stone veins?" Song Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly. The land in Xiangzhou is barren, lacking in spiritual plants and various spiritual materials, but there are indeed many large and small spiritual stone veins. The Xiangzhou Rong family alone controls three micro spiritual stone veins and one small spiritual stone vein.

There is also a small spirit stone vein at the border of Xiangzhou and Yangzhou. For this reason, the Lieyang Sect and the Rong family fought openly and secretly for decades, and their brains were almost beaten to pieces. In the end, the Song family reaped the benefits.

Unexpectedly, another one was discovered in the Qingyuan Mountains. The two places are not far apart.

"That's right. After preliminary investigation, it should be a miniature spiritual stone vein, but it is a rich mine. Its output is not less than that of a small spiritual stone vein. At the same time, it is also accompanied by a huge black gold vein."

"Isn't this a good thing? What's wrong with Patriarch Wang?" Song Changsheng asked casually, tapping the armrest of the chair with his fingers.

He knew that Wang Mingren definitely wanted to say more than that.

Sure enough, the next moment Wang Mingren said angrily: "Having an additional source of income is naturally a good thing, but somehow the news leaked out and let the Hengyang Lu family know about it, and they actually came directly to ask for it.

This spiritual stone vein is within the territory of my clan, and was discovered by my clan's disciples. It is reasonable and logical that it should belong to our Wang family. Faced with such an almost rogue request, I naturally rejected it in a stern manner.

Who would have thought that Lu Zhenghui would actually threaten to wipe out the entire Wang family..."

"and many more."

Song Changsheng stretched out his hand to interrupt Wang Mingren. The more he listened, the more confused he became. He knew that the Hengyang Lu family was the leading cultivation family in Xiangzhou. Their strength was not inferior to that of the Yangzhou Chu family, and was even stronger.

Its clan leader Lu Zhenghui is also extremely talented. At the age of only 150, he has already broken through to the great perfection of foundation building and is on the verge of achieving the Purple Palace.

The Lu family is indeed powerful, but the Wang family is also one of the top three families in Xiangzhou. They are not made of mud, and the gap between the two sides is not obvious.

With the support of the clan protection formation, it would be difficult for the Lu family to even attack the Wang family's main peak, Qingyuan Mountain. If they were not careful, they would even suffer heavy losses.

When the Lu family said they wanted to wipe out the entire Wang family, it would generally be seen as a cruel remark made in anger and shame. In fact, no one thought they had the strength to do so.

But looking at Wang Mingren's expression, he obviously believed it, and believed it without a doubt.

Song Changsheng simply wouldn't believe that there was no trick involved.

"If it was just the Hengyang Lu Family, I wouldn't dare to make trouble in front of the sect master. Later I found out that the one standing behind the Hengyang Lu Family... is the Tianjian Sect!" Wang Mingren gritted his teeth and said a name that made Song Changsheng frown.

Ever since the city lord broke through the Jindan stage, the Tianjian Sect, which had been the runner-up for thousands of years, finally succeeded in rising to become the largest Zifu force in the Da Qi cultivation world.

Judging from the Tianjian Sect's style of doing things, it doesn't seem like they would do something like wiping out an entire family over a disagreement, not to mention that it's totally not worth it just for a tiny spirit stone vein.

Even if we take a step back, with the power of the Tianjian Sect, it would be too easy to make a foundation-building family disappear without anyone noticing, so why would they reveal their identities?

No matter how I hear this, it doesn't seem credible.

"Are you sure that the Tianjian Sect was involved in this?" Song Changsheng leaned forward slightly, his eyes flashing with sharp light. Matters involving the Tianjian Sect were no small matter. Without sufficient evidence, he would not rashly step forward.

Wang Mingren felt as if he was being stared at by a fierce tiger. His Adam's apple rolled twice, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to guarantee it with my life."

Song Changsheng stared at him for a while, which made Wang Mingren feel uneasy.

After a long time, Song Changsheng stood up and said calmly: "Since you are willing to join the Song family, why don't you directly use the spirit stone vein as a token of surrender and submit to the Tianjian Sect?

By then, the Wang family will be out of danger, but why did you choose to go to Cangmang Peak instead of staying close to you? "

"This……"

A look of embarrassment suddenly flashed across Wang Mingren's face.

To be honest, he had originally planned to do so, but something unexpected happened along the way, and this accident came from Yangzhou.

On that day, the seven foundation-building families in Yangzhou, who had originally kept their distance from the Wang family, suddenly gathered a large number of elite troops to attack without any warning. They came with great force and under the banner of the Song family.

Wang Mingren and the other Wang family members thought that the Song family had launched an attack because they coveted their newly discovered spiritual stone mines.

Seeing that there was a wealthy wolf in front and a fierce tiger behind, after much deliberation, Wang Mingren finally chose to surrender to the Yangzhou coalition forces, or the Song family, in order to save his people, and the token of his surrender was this spiritual stone mine.

The reason why he chose the Song family instead of the Tianjian Sect was simply because the Song family's knife was already at his neck and he had no choice at all.

In this way, the Wang family, who had originally planned to surrender to the Tianjian Sect, was intercepted by the Song family.

Afterwards, Wang Mingren came to Cangmang Peak alone to express the Wang family's sincerity and also to seek help.

After communicating with Song Luzhou, he realized that the misunderstanding had become a big deal. The Song family didn't know about the spirit stone mine at all. They attacked them only because the seven major families needed to make amends for their crimes.

And Wang is the "meritorious person" in their eyes.

When he came to this conclusion, Wang Mingren felt like crying but had no tears.

But he had to finish the path he had chosen, even with tears, because he had already surrendered to the Song family. If he defected to another family, regardless of whether the Tianjian Sect would accept him, the Song family would definitely not accept him.

The seven major families are stationed in the Qingyuan Mountains. As long as the person in front of them gives an order, they will roar and break through the Qingyuan Mountains and exchange their heads for merits.

Therefore, the only way for the Wang family to survive at present is to cling tightly to the Song family and let the Song family mediate between them and the Tianjian Sect.

But he also knew that Song Luzhou had no say in such a major matter, so he stayed in Cangmang Peak just to see Song Changsheng.

Hearing Song Changsheng's question, Wang Mingren immediately said righteously: "Since the sect master asked, I will speak frankly.

The reason why I chose the Song family is because I despise the behavior of the Tianjian Sect. They want to wipe out an entire family just for a little money and property. Is this the right thing to do?
Wang will never associate with such people! "

Listening to Wang Mingren's righteous speech, Song Changsheng's expression did not change at all, he just quietly tapped the armrest of the chair. Seeing this, Wang Mingren's heart gradually sank, and just when he thought Song Changsheng was going to push them out, Song Changsheng's steady voice rang in his ears.

"So, how do you want me to help you?"

Song Changsheng stood up at some point and looked at him quietly with his hands behind his back.

Wang Mingren was overjoyed and bowed quickly, saying, "I have no other requests, I just hope to preserve my family. The spiritual stone vein will be fully handled by the sect master."

"Well... that's easy to handle." Song Changsheng nodded slightly. Wang Mingren was quite sensible.

Since you keep saying that the Hengyang Lu family was instructed by the Tianjian Sect, then you should invite the person in charge out, and I will mediate on your behalf.

If it can be accomplished, everyone will be happy and the past will be wiped out.

If it doesn't work, as long as you can make up your mind, I can also ensure that your Wang family is safe."

"Thank you, Sect Master. Thank you, Sect Master. I will do it right away. I will do it right away." Wang Mingren bowed repeatedly, then ran out in a hurry.

At this time, Song Luzhou walked in from outside, looked at Wang Mingren who was leaving, and asked in surprise: "Did the clan leader agree to him?"

"We can't just sit back and do nothing, can we?" Song Changsheng shook his head slightly. Now everyone knows that Wang is his lackey. If Wang gets into trouble and Song remains indifferent, who will dare to hang out with the Song in the future?

Seeing the worry on Song Luzhou's face, Song Changsheng smiled and said, "Fifth uncle, don't worry too much. The Tianjian Sect may covet the Wang family's spiritual stone mine, but the words of slaughtering the entire Wang family may not come from the Tianjian Sect.

The Tianjian Sect is not a domineering group, so my nephew will go over there to mediate between them and clear up the misunderstanding."

"Well, I hope so. It doesn't matter if we can't reach an agreement. Just protect the Wang family. It doesn't matter if we give up all the interests. But the family must not have a head-on conflict with the Tianjian Sect at this moment." Song Luzhou reminded softly.

"Don't worry, nephew." Song Changsheng smiled and nodded.

Wang Mingren was very efficient and got everything done in just five days.

After receiving the news, Song Changsheng also went to the Qingyuan Mountains in person.

The meeting place was Tianxuan Mountain, eight hundred miles away from Qingyuan Mountain.

Song Changsheng and Wang Mingren arrived first. After waiting for a while, they saw a stream of light coming from afar.

When the light dissipated, two figures appeared. One of them looked younger, and had reached the great perfection of foundation building. He should be Lu Zhenghui, the patriarch of the Hengyang Lu Family.

Next to him was a middle-aged monk in a black robe. He was thin, with a pale face and no beard. His eyes reflected the sharp light of the sword, and his whole body exuded a sense of danger.

Song Changsheng took the initiative to step forward, bowed slightly to the middle-aged cultivator and said, "I wonder which Taoist friend is here?"

"Tianjian Sect, Ling Jiuxiao." The middle-aged man was frugal with words. His attitude towards Song Changsheng was not cold, but he was not enthusiastic either.

"So it's Brother Ling. I'm sure you already know the purpose of Song's trip. I wonder..."

"Patriarch Song, there is no need to say more." Ling Jiuxiao interrupted Song Changsheng directly, looked at Lu Zhenghui on the side and said: "I asked him to collect black gold for the sect in Xiangzhou, but I didn't expect him to do anything wrong by using my name.

After I learned about this, I have already severely punished him. If the Song clan leader came to call for punishment, he can go back now. "

Song Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly. Things were just as he thought. The Tianjian Sect was completely unaware of this.

However, the news that they were actually collecting black gold was beyond his expectations.

Black gold is a second-level spiritual material with few uses. It is completely black, and its quality far exceeds that of gold but is not as good as that of black gold. It is rarely used for refining weapons, but is used more in formations. However, generally not too much is needed.

From what Ling Jiuxiao said, the Tianjian Sect seemed to be purchasing black gold on a large scale, which made him very interested. However, judging from the other party's attitude, he was sure that they would not be willing to tell him.

But it didn't matter. At least he knew how the next negotiations would proceed. After all, Wang's spiritual stone vein was accompanied by a large black gold vein.

“It turned out to be a misunderstanding. I said that according to the code of conduct of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it is impossible to do such a thing of plundering.

Since you have already punished me, Song will not interfere. With the lessons learned from the past, I believe that such evil things will not happen again in the future."

Ling Jiuxiao glanced at Song Changsheng, his expression slightly relieved, and he said calmly: "I'm glad that you understand, fellow Daoist."

After saying that, he didn't even mention the matter of the spirit stone mine, and prepared to leave with Lu Zhenghui.

Song Changsheng quickly asked them to stay.

"What? Patriarch Song is still not satisfied?" Ling Jiuxiao said in a cold and hard tone.

Song Changsheng smiled and said, "Of course not. I just heard from you that you are buying black gold in large quantities. It just so happens that Wang's company has a large black gold mine. If you are interested, we might as well establish cooperation for mutual benefit."

"Why?" Ling Jiuxiao stopped and looked at Song Changsheng.

“I’m sure you also know that black gold is not popular in the market. The stock is actually very small. You need a large amount, and it’s difficult to achieve your goal by just making such scattered purchases.

We at the Song family are willing to send people to mine black gold. You just need to receive it on time. As for the price, we are willing to reduce it by 30% from the market price. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuxiao's face suddenly showed an interested look. The quantity they needed was really too large, but black gold had too few uses and the price was not high, so few people were willing to mine it. Now that Song Changsheng was willing to provide a stable channel and offered good discounts, why not do it?

"I need to consider this matter carefully and give you a reply within ten days." Ling Jiuxiao responded, then turned around and left with Lu Zhenghui.

"The Tianjian Sect is really decisive in its actions."

Song Changsheng didn't have many dealings with the Tianjian Sect, but after a few times, he had gained some experience.

Although most of the cultivators from the Tianjian Sect have bad tempers, they act uprightly, which is hard not to admire.

"Let's go and take a look at the spirit stone mine." Song Changsheng said to Wang Mingren who looked a little dazed beside him.
