Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"Senior Yuan, how are you?"

In the Five Elements Peak Garrison, Song Changsheng helped the pale-faced Yuan Tianshu sit down on a rattan chair. While using the [Light of Revival] to heal his wounds, he asked with concern.

"Ahem, thank you for your concern, clan leader. My injuries are not serious." Yuan Tianshu's voice was a little weak, and an abnormal redness appeared from time to time on his pale face.

Song Changsheng placed his fingers on the outside of Yuan Tianshu's wrist, and after feeling it carefully for a while, his brows gradually frowned.

The injuries caused by [Red-tailed Golden Eagle] to Yuan Tianshu were indeed not serious. With the healing ability of a Purple Mansion cultivator, he would be fully recovered within a day without even a scar left.

The main problem at the moment is that after he was injured, he continued to fight with the [Three-headed Hellhound], and its unique fire evil power penetrated into his meridians and internal organs through his wounds.

Now the power of fire evil is constantly eroding his internal organs. Over time, not only will his physiological functions decline, but he may even risk regressing in his cultivation.

"Clan leader, how is Master's injury?"

At this time, Song Qingxia also rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing Yuan Tianshu in an extremely bad condition, she, who was always calm, couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

"The situation is not good, the fire evil has entered the body and invaded the lungs.

Qingxia, you personally escort Senior Yuan back to Cangmang Peak, and let Uncle Wu treat Senior Yuan. As long as there is something in the family treasury, don't be stingy. If there is nothing in the treasury, send it to me and I will find a way."

"As ordered."

While Song Qingxia helped Yuan Tianshu take the space teleportation array back to the family to recuperate, the battle report of today's battle had been compiled. Song Changsheng looked at the astonishing consumption of supplies and couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows, feeling a little headache.

Because his side was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, Song Changsheng stockpiled a large amount of supplies at the Five Elements Peak from the very beginning in order to reduce his own casualties.

After today's battle, the goal of reducing casualties was achieved, but the rate of material consumption exceeded Song Changsheng's psychological expectations.

Among these consumable materials, [Lei Zhenzi] ranks first.

Although a large number of monsters were killed, in the long run, it was still a losing business.

"Uncle Tong, please ask mother to send another batch of supplies over. Also, please ask Yiqun and Chihuo to come as well."

Song Changsheng reviewed today's battle and summarized two mistakes.

First of all, Yuan Tianshu’s suggestion to suppress the monster’s offensive was correct. The reason why it failed was because the spearhead was not sharp enough.

On our side, there is only Song Lutong who has reached the great perfection of foundation building. Although Song Qingxing is strong, he is only in the late stage of foundation building. Song Changan is only in the middle stage of foundation building. When they encounter a second-order top-grade monster blocking their way, they are inevitably somewhat powerless.

Zhu Yiqun and Chihuo Laogui are both outstanding cultivators who have reached the great perfection of foundation building. With their participation, "Spearhead" can tear apart the beast herd more quickly and forcefully, thus causing chaos in the herd and slowing down their pace of attack.

The failure was because the "spear tip" was not sharp enough and failed to cut quickly. This was the first mistake.

The second point is related to Song Changsheng and Yuan Tianshu. They walked out of the mountain protection formation and confronted the four big monsters head-on. Although it was to protect Song Qingxing and others, they also put themselves in danger. The [Black Star Ship] served as their safety rope and could not be easily used or exposed.

Therefore, Song Lutong and others had no choice but to use [Lei Zhenzi].

The result is the current embarrassing situation.

There is a shortage of supplies inside and four big monsters are eyeing them outside. How can you break the impasse? It is a thousand times more difficult than before.
Just when Song Changsheng was having a headache, he suddenly sensed a familiar breath. When he looked up, he found that it was Song Xianming.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" Song Changsheng quickly stood up and went to greet him.

Song Xianming shook his head slightly when he heard this and said, "Fellow Daoist Yuan is so badly injured, if I hadn't come, how would you have been able to carry this heavy burden?

I heard everything that happened from Qingxia, what are your plans now?"

"I sent a message to Dingyuan City asking for help, and Uncle Zhan replied that Tuozhou was in flames and they were sending troops to provide support. Luoxia couldn't spare any manpower in a short time, so we had to hold out for at least seven days.

We could have held out for seven days before, but now, Senior Yuan is seriously injured, a lot of supplies have been consumed, and we need to face four big monsters. The situation is really unfavorable."

The formation is not invincible, and blindly defending it will not work. There will always be a time when it can no longer withstand the siege of so many monsters. At that time, it will be a disaster for everyone stationed at the Five Elements Peak.

"Defending to the death is not a solution. We must cut off one of its arms first. Although the [Armored Barbarian Bear] is a great monster, it has low intelligence and a temperament that is easily angered. However, it is born with supernatural power and can cause great damage to the formation. If we use a trick to kill the [Armored Barbarian Bear] first, we can increase our chances of winning this battle by three points."

"Three points..."

Song Changsheng's eyes flashed. If this could be achieved, the chances of winning this battle would indeed be greatly increased. However, the difficulty was also extremely high. Although the [Armored Barbarian Bear] had no brains, it did not mean that the other three monsters had no brains.

How difficult it is to kill it.

"Grandpa, from what you said, I guess you already have a good plan in mind, right?" Song Changsheng said with a smile.

Song Xianming nodded and said, "There is indeed a way."

"any solution?"

"You hold back the [Three-Headed Hellhound] and the [Earth-Breaking Earth Dragon]. Oh, yes, and the [Red-Tailed Golden Eagle]. I will use a trick to irritate the [Armored Bear] and lure it somewhere else to kill it." Song Xianming said calmly.

Song Changsheng: “…”

“Grandpa, that’s a three-headed monster. The [Three-Headed Hellhound] is a third-order mid-grade monster with devil flames. The [Earth-Breaking Earth Dragon] has extraordinary blood in his body, and its strength is not inferior to that of a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator.

Even the weaker [Red-tailed Golden Eagle] has the fastest speed in the world, are you kidding me?"

Even though Song Changsheng was quite courageous, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard Song Xianming's words.

"I know this will put you in danger, but there is no other way. Do you dare to try it?" Song Xianming's eyes were full of encouragement.

Song Changsheng always felt that the old man was acting strange today. He would never let him fall into danger before, but today...

It’s not that he was scared, it’s just that he felt it was very strange.

Perhaps noticing the change in Song Changsheng's eyes, Song Xianming smiled and said, "Do you find it strange?"

"Yes." Song Changsheng nodded honestly.

"You are the hope of our family's future. I will not let you fall into despair. When I learned that the beast tide was coming, I had already started to prepare. Now, the time is just right."

As he spoke, Song Xianming took out a three-inch tall glass bottle from his arms. There was a hazy glow in it, like the starlight emitted by the stars in the sky.

For some reason, the moment Song Changsheng saw the glass bottle, he had an urge to swallow it.

"This is……"

"Do you know why Aunt Yunhan gave up most of the family's territory to keep Cangmang Peak?" Song Xianming asked back.

"Isn't it because of the third-level spiritual vein?" Song Changsheng couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Song Xianming stroked the glass bottle gently with his fingertips and said, "This is only one aspect. The most important thing is that there is a strange stone inside Cangmang Peak that can draw in starlight. Although the effect is small, it adds up to a lot over the years and should not be underestimated.

This was also the reason why our ancestors chose to settle in Cangmang Peak.

The purpose is to wait for the day when a true unicorn appears in the family, so that this thing can be used to cross the chasm.

We are unfilial descendants and have never been able to reach that level. But you have given me hope. You are not the unicorn of the family, but you are better than a unicorn. I have also hesitated whether you can reach the level that our ancestors expected, so I have never given this thing to you.

I always want to wait.

Recently, I have been relieved, so when I came here, I reported to the ancestors of my family and took this item out from Cangmang Peak."

"There is such a thing?" Song Changsheng was slightly surprised. As the patriarch, he had never heard of it before.

"Our ancestors taught us that only one person can know about the existence of this thing, and it cannot be passed on to more than one person.

Aunt Yunhan told me this secret before she passed away. I should have told you this secret before I passed away, but now that I want to give it to you, there is no need to go through so much trouble. "Song Xianming chuckled and said.

After that, he handed the glass bottle in his hand to Song Changsheng and said: "This thing is called [Heavenly Star Essence], which is a star-attracting stone. After taking it, you can integrate the power of the stars into your flesh and blood. It can not only help you refine your body, but also improve your cultivation. If you have the opportunity in the future, it can help you break through the golden elixir realm."

"But...what does this have to do with this battle?" Song Changsheng was still a little confused.

“Of course there is a relationship.

After taking this [Heavenly Star Essence], it will require the help of external force to merge with you. The more external force you receive, the better the fusion will be.

This is a great opportunity." Song Xianming had a meaningful smile on his face.

The corners of Song Changsheng's mouth twitched slightly. He had already understood what Song Xianming meant.

To put it bluntly, just let him go up and get beaten.

"Grandpa, aren't you afraid that I will be beaten to death by them?" Song Changsheng's face turned a little dark.

"Of course not. Although the process of fusing with the [Heavenly Star Spirit] is painful, it will also greatly increase your vitality. As long as you handle it properly, you will definitely be able to hold on until I come back."

"I hope so."

Although Song Changsheng had his doubts, he still believed what Song Xianming said...

The next day, the beast tide came again.

Four giant monsters stood majestically outside the peak, releasing a heart-pounding aura.

Song Changsheng and Song Xianming looked at each other and stepped out of the formation together.

"Another one has come, but he's weaker than the one yesterday." The leftmost head of the [Three-Headed Hellhound] said coldly.

"Hehe, no matter who it is, I'll just swallow him in one gulp." [Earth-Breaking Earth Dragon] said with disdain.

"No matter what, that pretty boy is mine, don't fight with me."

"Hmph, whoever catches him will own him. If I meet him, I will slap him to death." [Armored Bear] roared.

After saying that, it rushed towards Song Changsheng.

"It seems that this [Armored Barbarian Bear] is more irritable and angry than I imagined. It actually came directly to my door. Sheng'er, follow the plan."

"I understand!" Song Changsheng took out the glass bottle and swallowed the [Heavenly Star Essence] inside directly into his stomach. In an instant, he felt an extremely powerful force erupting in his body.

"what--"

Song Changsheng let out an extremely suppressed roar, then leaped up and took the initiative to meet the three-headed monster.

"What an arrogant human." The [Three-headed Hellhound] opened its mouth and spurted out a stream of dark light that went straight into Song Changsheng's heart.

[Red-tailed Golden Eagle] also turned into a beam of golden light and rushed over.

[Earth-Breaking Earth Dragon] was wrapped in sandstorm and walked towards Song Changsheng step by step.

"Five Beast Battle Body, rise!"

As soon as his combat body was activated, Song Changsheng immediately felt the pain in his body slightly relieved.

"Roar--"

Song Changsheng flapped his wings and took the initiative to meet the enemy with the [Mountain-Shaking Halberd] in his hand. This time, he did not use magic power, but pure physical strength.

"boom--"

A halberd fell down, and the black light was split in an instant.

"Wow—"

[Red-tailed Golden Eagle] transformed into golden light and arrived in an instant.

"It's you again, you lingering old bastard. Die!"

Song Changsheng's blood surged all over his body, and he punched out, colliding with the golden light, bursting out with dazzling light.

[Red-tailed Golden Eagle] was directly blasted back, and Song Changsheng's fist was torn off a large piece of flesh by its sharp claws, and the white bones could be vaguely seen.

But with the combined effects of the Five Beasts Battle Body and [Heavenly Star Essence], the injuries on his hands were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He also felt that a mysterious power was entering his flesh and bones.

At this time, the Earth-Breaking Dragon also descended with a sandstorm...

While the three men and the beast were fighting, Song Xianming also used the incense that could disrupt the mind to successfully anger the [Armored Bear] and led it away from the battlefield step by step.

The first one to discover that something was wrong was the [Earth-Breaking Earth Dragon]. With its intelligence, it quickly realized Song Xianming's purpose and quickly came out to remind the [Armored Bear].

But the [Armored Barbarian Bear] was confused and only saw Song Xianming, and could not hear the warning from the [Earth-Breaking Earth Dragon] at all.

"madness!"

[Earth-Breaking Dragon] cursed angrily and wanted to come forward to stop it, but was stopped by Song Changsheng.

"Your opponent is me!"

"Arrogant human, do you really think you can fight against us?"

"Don't waste your time talking to him. Hurry up and get rid of him. The [Armored Bear] won't die that easily."

After saying this, the flames on the Three-Headed Hellhound instantly changed from orange to black, releasing an aura of destruction.

Seeing this, Song Changsheng's expression became somewhat solemn...
