Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Wang Mingren never imagined that a crisis that could lead to the extinction of the Wang family could be resolved in just a few words. This made him feel that everything he had done was just a joke.

In fact, this is inevitable.

Faced with an old-fashioned Purple Mansion force like the Tianjian Sect, even the Song family today did not dare to confront it head-on. The Wang family was just a small foundation-building family, so it was normal for them to lose their composure when faced with such a thing.

Fortunately, he had already thought about surrendering, otherwise Qingyuan Mountain would have been conquered by the coalition forces of the seven major families in Yangzhou.

"Patriarch Wang, Patriarch Wang."

Seeing that Wang Mingren didn't respond, Song Changsheng frowned and called out to him again.

Wang Mingren finally came to his senses and looked at Song Changsheng in fear and trepidation.

"Take me to the mine."

"Yes, sir." Wang Mingren hurriedly led the way.

The two soon arrived at the foot of a barren mountain. It was strange to say that the surrounding mountains were all lush and green, but this one was bare, with large tracts of rock exposed, and only some unknown weeds growing tenaciously in the cracks.

Wang Mingren came to a dark cave entrance, took out a jade tablet and opened the protective formation, and said respectfully: "Master, this is it."

"Go in and have a look."

Song Changsheng stepped into the mine and found that work had already stopped.

The caves are interconnected, some are very deep, and some have just been dug out.

With a wave of his hand, a large piece of black soil mixed with stones was "torn" off by him. Under the influence of magic power, the soil and stones fell off one after another, and finally only three crystal clear spirit stones were left floating in the palm of his hand.

"The density is so high?" Song Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and tried it several times in different places. The spirit stones he got were between two and five.

It sounds like not much, but it is actually not. The density has exceeded the two spirit stone veins controlled by the Song family, and it is rare in the entire Da Qi.

Wang Mingren was not exaggerating. This was indeed a rich mine, but it was a bit small in scale, otherwise its value would be difficult to estimate. Nevertheless, for a family like the Wang family, this was also a huge fortune.

It is no wonder that Wang Mingren initially misunderstood that the Song family was also coming for the spirit stone mine. Even Song Changsheng was a little tempted at this moment.

Wang Mingren observed the expression on his face and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Sect Master, for saving my Wang family from danger. The Wang family has nothing to repay you with, so we can only offer you this spiritual stone mine. I hope you will not despise it."

"Patriarch Wang is thoughtful." Song Changsheng smiled and nodded. Although he had already regarded it as his own, since Wang Mingren was so sensible, there was no need for him to take the initiative to be the bad guy.

Then Song Changsheng went to take a look at the black gold vein and found that it was of high quality and very easy to mine. If he could reach an agreement with the Tianjian Sect, it would be a good source of income.

After leaving the mine, Song Changsheng did not return to Cangmang Peak immediately, but came to Qiaojiang Mountain alone. Looking at the beautiful mountain in front of him, Song Changsheng's thoughts couldn't help but go back to more than ten years ago.

At that time, he was just a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. On the way to Tianjian Sect with Song Qingxing and Song Qingxi, the flying boat he was riding was ambushed by the old ghost Chihuo and his men, and the power device was damaged.

After he subdued the old ghost Chihuo, he came here in search of a master craftsman to repair the flying boat. On the way, he adopted Ling Yun, the only survivor of the Ling family.

It was also at that time that he met the master of Tiangong, Lu Tianchou, and obtained the quasi-tian warship from him.

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, Lingyun, who was still in his infancy, is already twelve years old.

"It's been so many years, I wonder if Master Lu is still living here." Song Changsheng murmured softly.

The reason he came this time, in addition to visiting his old friend Lu Tianchou, was also to see if he could invite him to the Song family.

There is no other way. The Song family is really short of talents in this area. They want to train themselves, but not only does it lack inheritance, but they also don’t have suitable mentors.

If we can dig Lu Tianchou back, everything will be solved.

"Song Changsheng of the Song family is visiting. May I ask if Master Lu is here?"

A moderate and peaceful voice echoed among the mountains, startling a swarm of flying birds. Song Changsheng waited quietly for a while, but no one responded.

"Song Changsheng of the Song family is here to visit. Is Master Lu here?"

I asked again, raising my voice, but still no one responded.

Song Changsheng frowned slightly, and arrived at the top of the mountain in a flash. What came into his sight was a ruin. Lu Tianchou's courtyard had been completely destroyed, and based on the remains at the scene, obvious signs of a fight could be found.

The powerful spiritual consciousness spread out like an overwhelming force, exploring every corner.

“No blood was found at the scene, Master Lu should be fine.

He put up a fierce resistance beforehand, but was quickly subdued. It must have been the Purple Mansion cultivator who took action personally.

The traces are still very clear, it should be what happened recently. Who dared to attack Tiangongshi? "

Song Changsheng frowned slightly. Looking at the entire Da Qi cultivation world, the number of Tiangong masters who had reached the second level could be counted on two hands, and Lu Tianchou was a second-level top-grade Tiangong master who had been at that level for more than ten years.

Scarcity makes things valuable. With such an identity, one would be a guest of honor wherever he goes, and his network of contacts would be second to none. Now someone is actually using force, which is really courageous.

"Hey, this is it."

Song Changsheng's expression froze. He squatted down and picked up a thin hair from the ground.

Although no one knows whose hair it is, it is definitely one of the people involved. Unfortunately, one hair is far from enough. It is too difficult to use it to find Lu Tianchou. It is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

After all, the incident happened several days ago, and the other party might have already left Xiangzhou.

What he can do now is to spread the news. Lu Tianchou is popular among people. Knowing that he is in trouble, they will definitely find ways to look for him. When there are more people, they will always find some clues.

After returning to Cangmang Peak, Song Changsheng took the space teleportation array to enter Luoxia City, and with the help of Zhan Tianxia, ​​he spread the news in the name of Luoxia City.

Then he chatted with the sleeping Zhuang Yuechan for a while, and finally returned to Cangmang Peak.

As he expected, the news that Lu Tianchou was attacked and abducted by unknown monks caused quite a stir in the Da Qi cultivation world once it spread.

Many people started searching spontaneously.

If you don’t check, you won’t know. If you check, you will be shocked.

Soon they discovered that not only was Lu Tianchou abducted by unknown cultivators, but two of the eight second-level Tiangong masters known in the Da Qi cultivation world were also missing.

The three people who disappeared had one thing in common, that is, they were independent cultivators, and their disappearance time was no more than three months. It was also because these three people lived in seclusion in a remote sacred mountain, and few people dared to disturb them. Therefore, no one noticed that they had disappeared for such a long time.

If Song Changsheng had not had the sudden inspiration to visit Lu Tianchou, this news would probably have remained unknown.

For a moment, the entire Da Qi cultivation world was in an uproar.

Especially for cultivators who have achieved success in all arts of cultivation, the reaction was even more intense.

Their status has always been very high, and few people dare to attack them. Even if there is a grudge, it would be a fair fight. But now someone is openly kidnapping people. How can this be tolerated?
This time it’s a master of craftsmanship, next time maybe it’ll be an alchemist or a weapon refiner.

If they stand by and watch today, who will speak for them when something happens to them in the future?

Therefore, a group of masters rarely joined forces to put pressure on all parties.

The combined power of this group of people far exceeds that of a Jindan cultivator. Under this tremendous pressure, even the forces that were originally indifferent to this matter had to investigate.

Even the Tianmai Sect and the Jinwu Sect noticed it and sent someone to take charge of the matter.

Although all the righteous forces in the entire Da Qi cultivation world have been mobilized, Song Changsheng is still not optimistic about it. It has been so long since the incident happened and there are no clues at hand. Trying to find them is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Just when he thought the matter would end in vain, the arrival of a person brought a turning point.

"Clan leader, there is a foundation-building cultivator outside the mountain gate who wants to see you. He claims to be a disciple of Master Lu Tianchou Lu."

In the General Affairs Hall, a steward walked up to Song Changsheng and whispered.

Song Changsheng's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he stood up suddenly and asked, "What's that person's name?"

"The man's name is Li Anmin." The deacon answered respectfully, but when he looked up, Song Changsheng was gone.

Song Changsheng came to the foot of the mountain and immediately saw a figure standing at the bottom of the stairs.

Compared to twelve years ago, Li Anmin has lost his youthfulness and is no longer the ignorant boy he used to be.

"Fellow Daoist Li."

"Senior Song, please save my master."

The moment Li Anmin saw Song Changsheng, he bowed deeply to him.

Song Changsheng quickly helped him up and asked, "Where is Daoist Brother Lu? What do you know?"

"Senior Song, do you still remember what happened to my junior sister?"

"Of course I remember." Song Changsheng nodded heavily. It was because of Lu Yuxiu's accident that he was able to meet Lu Tianchou.

At that time, Lu Yuxiu was possessed by a strange demon. Song Changsheng used the [Eye of Delusion-Breaking] to remove it and successfully cured it.

In order to thank Song Changsheng, Lu Tianchou gave him the [Black Starship].

Although twelve years have passed, it still feels vivid in my mind. I just don't know why Li Anmin asked this question now.

“The one who kidnapped Master and Junior Sister is the one who planted the demon seed in Junior Sister. He is the remnant of the blood demon!
Half a month ago, after returning from the mountain for training, the junior sister fell into a coma as before. At this time, a man in a black robe came to the door and asked the master to go with them and serve them.

Master naturally refused, but the man threatened Junior Sister's life, so Master had to temporarily give in and let them take him away. "Li Anmin was extremely angry and grief-stricken. He still couldn't forget the feeling of powerlessness that day.

"This is actually happening!" Song Changsheng was shocked. He had wondered before why that man would do such a cruel thing to a child, but he didn't expect it was premeditated.

But after the anger, doubts arose in my mind.

"Fellow Daoist Li, if that's the case, then how did you escape?" A trace of doubt arose in Song Changsheng's heart. Although Li Anmin had broken through the initial stage of foundation building, it was almost impossible for him to escape from the hands of a Purple Mansion cultivator.

"To be honest, it was my master who threatened me with his own life, so that group of people let me go. I guess they thought I was of no use to them." Li Anmin said with a dejected look.

"In that case, why don't you seek help? With Master Lu's reputation, it would be easy to ask the Purple Mansion monks to help."

“I also thought about seeking help, but most of those who are on good terms with our master are independent cultivators, and they are hard to find. I searched two places but found nothing.

The Rong family and the Lieyang Sect were…" At this point, Li Anmin carefully glanced at Song Changsheng, and seeing that he looked normal, he boldly continued: "These two families can't be relied on, so I dared to come to Lingzhou and ask Senior Song for help."

"So that's the case. Do you know where they took Master Lu?"

Li Anmin shook his head and said, "The Purple Mansion cultivators were too fast. I couldn't catch up with them, but I can find them."

"Oh?" Song Changsheng was a little confused.

Li Anmin smiled bitterly: "My junior sister and I have long had feelings for each other, and we have a very good relationship. Before, she wanted to go down the mountain for training, and I intended to follow her and protect her secretly, but Master did not allow it, so I suddenly had an idea to make a small object for her to carry, so that I can always sense the location of my junior sister.

I made it into a pair of earrings. After Junior Sister and Master were abducted, the demon didn't notice, so I can still sense where Junior Sister and Master are now."

"So that's it!" Song Changsheng was overjoyed. He almost forgot that the person in front of him was also a natural craftsman. Although he had not reached the second level, he often had brilliant ideas. It was not surprising that he could make such an object.

Now that we know where Lu Tianchou and the others are, things will be easier.

“You may not know yet, but two other Heavenly Craftsmen were also abducted, most likely by the remnants of the Blood Demon.

You should have heard about the strength of the Blood Demon Cult. Although the Song family now has some capital, it is still far from being able to fight against the Blood Demon Cult."

"Senior Song." Li Anmin was shocked.

"Listen to me first." Song Changsheng signaled him to be patient, and then said: "Things have developed to this point. It is no longer a matter of one sect. I will take you to see the second city lord of Luoxia City and ask him to contact all the major sects to act together."

Hearing this, Li Anmin's worry turned into joy. If all the major sects acted together, the success rate of the plan to rescue Lu Tianchou would definitely be much higher. He quickly saluted to Song Changsheng and said, "I hope you can introduce me to me, Senior."

Without saying a word, Song Changsheng immediately took him to Tianyin Mountain to meet Zhan Tianxia.

After learning that Li Anmin had a way to find the location of Lu Tianchou and others, Zhan Tianxia was overjoyed. Luoxia City had also been under considerable pressure during this period, and now there was finally hope of breaking the deadlock.

Zhan Tianxia immediately contacted the Jinwu Sect, Tianmai Sect, Tianjian Sect, Huansha Sect and Fumo Palace in secret and asked them to send people to act together.

In an instant, the world of Da Qi cultivation was in turmoil, and the eyes of all major forces were cast on an inconspicuous corner on the map - the Fiery Mountain.
