Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Chapter 401: The Extreme Yin Dongzhu, the Demon Race's Movement

Song Changsheng glanced at Jin Xuan who dared not say a word, and lightly hooked his sword finger. Jin Xuan immediately felt something being pulled out of his body, making him feel comfortable all over.

"This is……"

Song Qingyun couldn't help but widen his eyes. He clearly saw wisps of gray-white mist spreading out from Jin Xuan's body and gathering into a fist-sized gray air mass in the air.

"You have fought with the man carrying the coffin, right?" Looking at the air mass in front of him, Song Changsheng said unhappily.

"Yes, I fought him head-on." Jin Xuan said in a low voice.

"That's not right." Song Changsheng exposed his shortcomings mercilessly.

"No way, it's a draw, a draw." Jin Xuan still insisted.

Song Changsheng raised his sword-like eyebrows and said angrily: "Draw? The cold energy has already invaded your body. If I don't help you get rid of it, your cultivation will not improve at all in the next five years.

You have seldom gone down the mountain in these years, and you don't have much experience fighting strong enemies, yet you underestimated the enemy and advanced recklessly. Fortunately, the other party did not intend to kill you, otherwise I would have to go down the mountain myself to collect your body.

I will punish you to face the wall in the back mountain for three days, and I will find a good place for you after three days."

"Facing the wall for three days, doesn't that mean I have to stop drinking?" Jin Xuan was suddenly shocked.

Song Qingyun on the side couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. Is this the point? The point is the last sentence, okay?

Without much hesitation, Song Qingyun quickly excused Jin Xuan, saying, "Father, please calm down. The main responsibility for this matter lies with me, not Uncle Jin Xuan."

Song Changsheng looked at the respectful and well-behaved Song Qingyun in front of him, and his anger immediately subsided a lot. He said in a friendly manner: "Yun'er, you performed well in this practical trial. If you want any reward, just tell me, your father can satisfy you."

"The family has already given me a generous reward. I don't need anything for the time being. I just hope that father can put down his wrath and not send Uncle Jin Xuan away." Song Qingyun lifted his clothes and knelt in front of Song Changsheng, saying in a deep voice.

"Send away?"

Jin Xuan, who was worrying about his inability to drink alcohol while facing the wall, shuddered when he heard Song Qingyun's words. He crawled to Song Changsheng's side with his hands and feet and said in surprise: "Send away? What do you mean send away? Who do you want to send away?"

"Of course I'm sending you away. Are you going to send me away?" Song Changsheng said unhappily.

Jin Xuan was immediately struck by lightning and exclaimed, "Master, you don't want me anymore?"

"Please think twice, father." Song Qingyun also pleaded for Jin Xuan.

"What are you thinking? I just want it to go down the mountain to gain some experience. If it doesn't go out and have a look, it will become useless sooner or later. Go and face the wall."

Hearing that Song Changsheng was not going to drive it away, Jin Xuan immediately became overjoyed. He didn't even care about stopping drinking and ran to face the wall happily.

Song Qingyun also breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "Where does father plan to send Uncle Xuan?"

“Some time ago, your uncle Yulong discovered that the demon tribe on the other side of the Canglan River had been making some moves recently. He was worried that it would affect Zhangye County, so he sent a message to the family, asking whether they should make some preparations in advance.

Your Fifth Grandfather was having trouble making a decision, so he sent someone to inform me to leave the country."

"Over the years, the demons of Canglan River have lived in peace with us. Why did they suddenly riot? Could it be... that a new king has been born?"

Song Qingyun made a very bold assumption.

This is not just conjecture. Every time a demon king appears in the demon clan, there is a major reshuffle. The new demon king needs a territory that matches his identity and status.

Either you compete with those veteran demon kings, or you have no choice but to expand outward.

The Canglan River is close to Tuozhou. If a new demon king is really born, it is very likely to launch a beast tide to invade Tuozhou in order to open up new territory.

By then, Zhangye County, which is close to the Canglan River, will certainly not be able to remain immune.

If the Song family does not want to lose this precious land, they must prepare in advance.

Song Changsheng nodded slightly and said, "We can't rule out this possibility. Next, I'm going to Luoxia City and then go deep into the Canglan River to find out what's going on. If it's really a precursor to the formation of a beast tide, we can prepare early."

"The demon realm is full of dangers. I hope father will pay attention to his safety."

Song Changsheng's heart suddenly warmed up, and he nodded and said, "I'll pay attention to it. What are your plans next?"

"Through this actual combat, I have gained a lot. I plan to practice in the family for a while, and then go to the mountains for training depending on the situation."

"Well, it's good that you have such an idea."

"Oh, by the way, Uncle Jin Xuan got a precious pearl from the coffin bearer. Please, father, make a magic weapon for me."

As he spoke, Song Qingyun handed the bead emitting cold and sinister power to Song Changsheng.

After taking a look at it, Song Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said in surprise: "It turned out to be the [Extreme Yin Dongzhu]. Judging from the head, it has been formed for at least a thousand years."

"【Extreme Yin Dongzhu】?" There was a hint of doubt in Song Qingyun's eyes.

"Yes, this is actually a clam pearl produced in the body of a clam spirit that lives in the extremely cold waters east of the continent. This clam spirit is very special and has a very long lifespan. The longer it lives, the bigger the clam pearls in its body will be.

A thousand-year-old clam pearl contains the cold and yin power that the clam spirit has absorbed over a thousand years. If there is a seriously injured and dying person, holding this pearl in the mouth is enough to maintain the vitality of his body for a thousand years. Its value is self-evident.

Ever since its miraculous use was discovered, the clam spirits in that water area have been hunted in large numbers and have long been extinct in the outside world. Only a few forces with a long history still raise them.

If it meets someone who knows the value of it, this [Extreme Yin East Pearl] will be able to sell for a sky-high price."

After listening to Song Changsheng's introduction, Song Qingyun's eyes widened in surprise.

What does it mean to maintain the vitality of the physical body for thousands of years?
Let’s put it this way, if a person suffers a fatal injury, he can use this thing to utilize the extremely yin power to freeze himself.

During the period of being frozen, his injuries will not continue to worsen, and the vitality of his body will not disappear.

Then we just have to wait for someone to find an elixir or method that can heal his injuries and then wake him up.

Similarly, if a cultivator is about to die, he can use this item to freeze himself, and then wake him up after others find an elixir to prolong his life, thus extending his life.

Even if you don't find the treasure to prolong your life, you can still wake it up at the critical moment of life and death and give full play to your last bit of energy.

This is also a common method used by major religions.

If a strong person is about to die, he will be frozen using special means and awakened at the critical moment.

This is also one of the reasons why those major sects and religions can thrive.

You never know which of the powerful people born in their long history are really dead, and which are frozen by secret techniques, quietly waiting for the final blow of their lives in the darkness. Of course, this is not without cost. First, the longer the freezing time, the greater the damage to the soul, which will lead to a lower success rate of awakening. The safe time is about half of the total lifespan of the frozen person.

For example, the upper limit of the life span of a Qi-cultivating cultivator is around 120 years old. During the first 60 years of being frozen, the chance of failing to awaken him is very low. If he is frozen for 100 years, it will be almost impossible to awaken him.

Similarly, a Jindan cultivator with a lifespan of one thousand years can be safely frozen for up to five hundred years!
Secondly, being frozen for a long time will affect the life source of the cultivator, and it will be almost impossible to make any further progress in cultivation after waking up. Unless it is absolutely necessary, almost no one can accept this price.

Thirdly, maintaining the ice requires a large amount of resources. The higher the level of cultivation, the greater the consumption. If the number is too large, it is enough to drag down a large sect.

However, [Extreme Yin Eastern Pearl] is not included in this list, because it consumes the Yin and cold energy stored in itself.

This is also the main manifestation of its own value.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

Song Qingyun’s cultivation is currently low. If he shows off with such a treasure in public, he might be left dead in the wilderness the next day.

Song Qingyun obviously understood this truth and decisively chose to hand it over to the family.

"Since you can understand this, there is no need for me to waste my words on you. Don't worry, the family will never treat you unfairly. I will let the elders discuss a suitable compensation plan.

As for the handy magic weapon, I have one here. I was planning to give it to you after your cultivation level is higher, but you performed well in this trial, so I made an exception and gave it to you in advance."

Song Changsheng stretched out his hand and touched the space bag, and a black ring appeared in his hand. On it was a red jade with an eyeball-like pattern painted on it.

"Father, this is..."

For some reason, the moment this ring appeared, Song Qingyun felt a sense of closeness.

"This is the [Phantom God Ring], which was given to me as a gift by fellow Daoist Su...Su Ye of the Jinwu Sect during the Purple Mansion Ceremony. It is very suitable for your physique. Although you cannot fully utilize its capabilities with your cultivation level, it can also serve as a trump card to achieve a surprise victory at a critical moment."

"【Phantom God Ring】." Song Qingyun's fingers gently rubbed the ring surface, his face full of joy. He had naturally heard of the name of the 【Phantom God Stone】. To him, there was no magic weapon that better suited his abilities than this.

"Thank you, father, for the gift."

“Between father and son, why bother to thank each other?

You can practice with peace of mind. Jin Xuan will not be able to protect you for a long time in the future. Everything depends on you. "Song Changsheng said earnestly.

"I will follow my father's teachings." Song Qingyun bowed respectfully.

Seeing his serious look, Song Changsheng shook his head slightly. This child is not as good as he was when he was a child after growing up.

After giving him some pointers on the problems he had in his cultivation, Song Changsheng brought the [Extreme Yin Dongzhu] to the cold pool on the top of the mountain.

Planted under the cold pond is the [Cold Pond Coral] given to him by Kongsang Xiruo. It possesses the power of extreme cold and can delay the effects of injuries, which is similar to the ability of the [Extreme Yin East Pearl] obtained by Jin Xuan.

But the effect is still much worse.

Song Changsheng's idea was to combine the [Extreme Yin East Pearl] and the [Cold Pond Coral] to open up a "frozen area" in the cold pond. In the future, when a strong person in the family is seriously injured or is about to die, he can be moved there.

He flew to the sky above the vast white cold pond, waved his sword, and said softly, "Open!"

"Swish"

The sword energy was like a rainbow, and the ice on the surface of the cold pool was split into two. Song Changsheng entered the cold pool, placed the East Pearl and the [Cold Pool Coral] in his hand together, and then arranged a magic circle to connect the two in series, and stimulated the extreme cold power in the East Pearl.

"With the size of this Dongzhu, it is enough to sustain the Hanchi for a thousand years. It is enough in the short term." Looking at the Hanchi that had been reborn, Song Changsheng nodded with satisfaction.

The Song family has only been around for 500 years. A thousand years is enough time for the Song family to grow and perhaps they can find other ways to replace the [Extreme Yin Dongzhu].

"Your attainments in formations are improving at a speed that is beyond my reach."

Song Xianming came walking on the snow, with his hands in his sleeves, looking at Song Changsheng in the air and praising him.

"The six years of seclusion have finally paid off. I have reached the threshold of the third-level intermediate grade. Don't just talk about your grandson. Hasn't your grandfather's cultivation also improved?" Song Changsheng landed on the ground and responded with a smile.

"I have gained a lot from discussing Dao with Fellow Daoist Yuan over the years. Fellow Daoist Yuan has already reached the threshold of the middle stage of Purple Mansion."

"No wonder I didn't sense Senior Yuan's presence when I came out of retreat." Song Changsheng suddenly realized.

Yuan Tianshu has been trapped in the early stage of Purple Mansion for decades. It is indeed a happy thing that there are signs of loosening today.

"What are your plans for Zhangye County?"

"I'll go over and take a look first. If this is really a tide of beasts, we'll just fight them head-on."

After several years of recuperation, the Song family has gradually recovered from the last war. Zhangye County has been managed by Song Lutong for many years and has long been built into an impregnable fortress, so it can easily deal with a small-scale beast tide.

"Well, that's all we can do. How's the situation with Master Lu? Can it be completed soon?

If we have the Skyflight to support us, we will have a better chance of winning this battle."

Hearing this, Song Changsheng shook his head slightly and said, “I just came out of retreat and haven’t seen it yet, but Master Lu once said that it would take him at least ten years to create a perfect work.

It’s only the halfway point now, so Grandpa shouldn’t have too high expectations.”

"Well, it would be best if we have it, but if we don't, we still have to fight this battle."

"Don't forget, there is Luoxia City. Zhangye County is located in a remote area. If a beast tide really occurs, the pressure we face will not be that great."

"That's true. When it comes to experience in dealing with beast tides, Luoxia City is unique in Da Qi. I heard that Dingyuan City's defense is now no weaker than Luoxia City, so resisting the beast tide shouldn't be a problem."

"I'll trouble you to take care of the family for the next period of time. I will set off for Luoxia City today."

"The demon realm is dangerous, be careful." Song Xianming warned in a deep voice.

After bidding farewell to his family and the Council of Elders, Song Changsheng took the space teleportation array to Luoxia City.

After arriving, he received good news—Song Qingluo had broken through to the foundation-building stage.
