Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"boom--"

[Earth-Breaking Earth Dragon] swept its huge tail across, lashing over like a steel whip with a sharp sonic boom. Song Changsheng changed his footsteps and narrowly avoided the attack. Two small hills were directly flattened by it.

"Wow—"

[Red-tailed Golden Eagle] let out a loud and clear cry, and the shadow of a huge golden eagle appeared in the air. In an instant, dazzling golden light filled the sky.

Song Changsheng closed his eyes reflexively and crossed his hands in front of himself.

"Wow—"

"boom--"

The golden eagle in the air suddenly shook its wings and turned into a golden arrow that rushed towards Song Changsheng.

"Humph."

Song Changsheng let out a muffled groan and flew backwards. He felt a piercing pain in his arm. If nothing unexpected happened, his radius and ulna should be broken.

But in the midst of the pain, he felt as if his arms were coated with a layer of cooling oil. The coolness seeped into his skin and flesh, soothing the pain and solidifying his muscles and bones.

He knew that this was the result of the [Heavenly Star Essence] he had taken beforehand taking effect.

Not only does it greatly increase my recovery ability, but my cultivation is also increasing at a steady pace. This feeling of pain and happiness is really indescribable.

Song Changsheng fought a bloody battle with the three-headed monster for two hours. His old wounds had not healed yet and new ones were added. There was almost no healthy flesh on his body. If it were not for his tenacious vitality and the Tai Chi diagram protecting his vital parts, he would have died countless times.

It's even more sandbag-like than a sandbag.

The three-headed monster was not feeling well either. Song Changsheng's desperate fighting style also caused them to suffer some new injuries.

Sometimes even the [Three-Headed Hellhound] couldn't help but wonder which one of them was the real monster, they were both so ferocious.

Song Changsheng had no idea what was going on in his opponent's mind, but gradually, after enduring countless external attacks, he finally completely merged with the [Heavenly Star Essence].

In an instant, a huge force burst out from Song Changsheng's body. The fleeting powerful force made the [Three-Headed Hellhound] feel a little threatened.

"What's this."

The cautious [Three-Headed Hellhound] stopped. It could clearly feel that an extremely powerful force was being released from Song Changsheng's body.

Not to mention them, even Song Changsheng was confused at the moment. Yesterday, Song Xianming had described to him in detail the situation that would occur after taking [Heavenly Star Essence], but did not mention this.

He felt that his internal organs and flesh were undergoing a transformation, just like the changes that occurred in his body when he broke through from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Purple Mansion stage.

That kind of change is called "leap forward" in the world of cultivation, which refers to the leap forward in one's own life level.

He didn't know why he had such a feeling after taking [Heavenly Star Essence].

Although he felt somewhat unexpected about this change in himself, he was not too panicked. After all, it was a good thing and something many people wanted.

He stood in mid-air, carefully feeling the changes in his body.

The three big monsters each occupied a position, looking at him with murderous eyes, but none of them dared to attack Song Changsheng first, because the power emanating from him made them feel uneasy.

The air suddenly fell into an eerie silence. Only the sounds of fighting coming from the ground showed that time had not stopped.

Suddenly, a roar filled with anger and unwillingness sounded between heaven and earth, breaking the silence between the man and three beasts.

"It's the voice of the bear barbarian." The head in the center of the [Three-Headed Hellhound] raised up and said in a deep voice.

[Earth-Breaking Dragon]'s heart sank, he looked in the direction where the sound came from and said, "It's dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Xianming, dressed in a plain white robe, flew in from the sky. In his right hand, he held the blood-stained Ding Jiangshan, and in his left hand, he held a hairy head.

Although the proportions were extremely unbalanced, the three-headed monster was able to immediately identify who the owner of the head was.

Song Changsheng also recognized it and was overjoyed. He did not expect that Song Xianming could deal with the [Armored Bear] so quickly. After all, the [Armored Bear] was known for its powerful strength and solid defense.

For a moment, the situation on the battlefield changed slightly.

Although the monsters still had the advantage, they always felt a little lacking in confidence when facing the two people. After all, Song Changsheng's previous performance really left a very deep impression on them.

"What do you think? Do you want to continue fighting?" Song Changsheng took a step forward and said with great momentum.

"Chong"

[Ding Jiangshan] also let out a clear sword chant, full of eagerness to try.

The three monsters looked at each other, then slowly retreated, with no intention of fighting with the grandfather and grandson.

Now that the leaders had retreated, the other monsters naturally had no intention of continuing to fight, and retreated like a tide, leaving only the mess and broken corpses on the ground.

Seeing this, everyone burst into deafening cheers, and everyone looked at Song Changsheng with eyes full of admiration.

They didn't know what Song Changsheng had taken. They only knew that Song Changsheng fought one against three and created an opportunity for Song Xianming to kill the [Armored Bear].

At this moment, Song Changsheng's personal prestige reached its peak, and even those "mercenaries" who came here on commission could not help but be impressed by him.

When the two men descended from the air to the Five Elements Peak, Song Lutong and others surrounded them.

Song Lutong lifted Song Changsheng's arm and patted his chest. After finding that he was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a lingering fear:

"My goodness, you scared your uncle to death in this fight today. I thought you were doomed several times, but I didn't expect you to hold on. What did you eat today to be so fierce?"

"We'll talk about this later. Uncle Tong, quickly arrange for someone to clean up the battlefield. Grandpa and I need to discuss the next defense plan."

"Okay, leave it to me."

After Song Lutong left, Song Xianming and Song Changsheng returned to the garrison. Song Changsheng dismissed everyone in the garrison, then closed the door. Looking at Song Xianming, who looked slightly pale, he asked with concern, "Grandpa, how are you?"

"That [Armored Barbarian Bear] fought back before dying, and he only suffered some internal injuries. He will be fine after some rest. But is there anything wrong with your body?"

On the way here, Song Xianming also saw the changes that had taken place in Song Changsheng, and he asked this question out of suspicion. Song Changsheng shook his head and described his feelings clearly.

After hearing his words, Song Xianming fell into deep thought.

After a moment, Song Xianming sighed and said, "This [Heavenly Star Essence] has only been consumed once by our ancestor. The bottle he consumed at that time had been accumulated for at least a thousand years. Your bottle is less than five hundred years old, and its quality is far inferior.

But the records left by our ancestors do not mention any miraculous changes like yours. It’s strange, really strange.”

Just when the two were at a loss, there was a knock on the door. Song Changsheng scanned the door with his spiritual sense and asked in confusion, "Why is he here?"

Although he felt strange, he still waved his sleeves and opened the door.

"Brother Zhu, why are you here?"

Zhu Yiqun had also participated in the fight just now, and his blood and energy had not yet dissipated. Hearing Song Changsheng's question, he glanced at Song Xianming and said, "Just now I saw that Senior Song was in poor health, so I wanted to come and see if there was anything I could do to help."

Every herbalist is an excellent doctor. Song Xianming could hide the truth from Song Lutong and others, but he could not hide it from himself as he was a third-level lower-grade herbalist.

"Then I'll have to trouble Master Zhu."

Song Xianming took the initiative to extend his wrist. His injury was actually not serious. He asked Zhu Yiqun to check it just to reassure Song Changsheng.

Zhu Yiqun stepped forward to feel the pulse, then stepped back and said, "Senior Song's qi and blood are just a little unstable. I will make you some medicinal food to regulate your body, and you will be back to normal in a few days."

"Thank you, Master Zhu." Song Xianming nodded with a smile.

"Senior, you are still so polite." Zhu Yiqun returned the greeting, turned to look at Song Changsheng and said, "Now it's time to talk about your problem."

"Me?" Song Changsheng couldn't help but be a little confused. He did have a lot of injuries on his body, but they were all minor injuries and were almost healed now.

Zhu Yiqun rolled his eyes and said, "Don't tell me you didn't feel anything wrong with your body. I watched this battle from beginning to end."

"Well... there are some changes that are difficult to explain, but..." Song Changsheng turned to look at Song Xianming, wondering whether he should reveal this to Zhu Yiqun.

Song Xianming coughed twice and said, "Before this battle, Sheng'er took a portion of the [Heavenly Star Essence] that my ancestor accidentally obtained. After the fusion, some unexpected changes occurred. I wonder if Master Zhu knows anything about this?"

"【Heavenly Star Essence】? Wow, I'm so lucky to get such a rare thing." Zhu Yiqun clicked his tongue but didn't think much about it. He just thought he got it by accident.

After asking about the specific changes, Zhu Yiqun put his finger on Song Changsheng's wrist. Soon, his brows were furrowed, and he looked up at Song Changsheng from time to time, which made him feel uneasy.

"Did you see anything?" Song Changsheng didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but now he felt a little nervous.

After a long silence, Zhu Yiqun withdrew his hand and said seriously, "Changsheng, tell me the truth, have you ever been infused with the power of the stars before?"

Hearing this, Song Changsheng was stunned. Before breaking through the Purple Mansion, in order to prepare for the Tuozhou Arena Tournament, he did receive star power infusion in Luoxia City for half a year. However, as it was related to the secret of Luoxia, he did not reveal this to anyone. How did Zhu Yiqun know about it?
Seeing that Song Changsheng didn't say anything, Zhu Yiqun was already 70% sure in his heart, but he didn't continue to dig deeper, but said to himself: "Because you have received the power of the stars, your physique is actually different from that of ordinary people. You have a natural affinity for starlight, but it is relatively weak and you haven't noticed it.

But this time you have absorbed and integrated the [Heavenly Star Essence] which is refined from the essence of star power. The interaction between the two has caused a tremendous change in your physique."

At this point, Song Changsheng had already tasted something, but he was still a little uncertain and said: "You mean..."

Zhu Yiqun suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up, pointing at Song Changsheng with an angry look on his face and said, "Tell me, how come your luck is so good that you can encounter such a low-probability thing. This is a spirit body, an acquired [Stellar Body]. Song Changsheng, you've made a fortune!"

Looking at Zhu Yiqun with saliva flying everywhere, Song Changsheng felt that his brain was a little out of order.

"Acquired [Stellar Body]? What does that mean?"

Seeing his confused look, Zhu Yiqun felt like he had a myocardial infarction. He sat on the chair and took a few deep breaths before gritting his teeth and saying, "It means literally.

You should know that the spirits in this world are divided into innate and acquired.

The innate spirit body is brought from the mother's womb, while the acquired spirit body is formed by some coincidence.

Among them, infusing the body with star power is one of the means to create an acquired [star body], but the success rate of this method is extremely low, and even if ten thousand people die, it may not be successful for one.

Obviously, you didn't succeed either.

But you just happened to be lucky enough to obtain the [Essence of the Heavenly Stars], and you integrated it extremely perfectly, and actually successfully created an acquired [Body of Stars].

Although it is acquired, it is still a spirit body. Song Changsheng, Song Changsheng, if I could beat you, I would really want to fight you. Don't be so irritating. "

Zhu Yiqun's emotions were in turmoil, and if Song Xianming hadn't been present, he would have wanted to swear.

He was born with a different physique from ordinary people and could eat a lot. The more he ate, the faster his cultivation level increased. It was because of his extraordinary talent that Mo Zhexian accepted him as his disciple and taught him the "Heaven-Swallowing Art".

He lived up to everyone's expectations and forged the [Devouring Dao Foundation] when he had achieved great perfection in Qi training. So when he learned that Song Changsheng had the Dao Foundation, he was not surprised or envious, because he was also.

He had been eating a lot for so many years just to develop an acquired [devouring body]. He didn't expect that after working so hard for so long, Song Changsheng got there first. How could he not be upset?

Looking at Zhu Yiqun who looked like he had lost all hope in life, Song Changsheng was speechless for a moment. He never thought that such a pie in the sky would fall on his head one day.

Just as Zhu Yiqun said, an acquired spiritual body is still a spiritual body, and it is an opportunity that countless people desire.

"This... isn't necessarily a spirit body. It hasn't been tested on a spirit-testing platform. Why are you so sure?" Song Changsheng said weakly.

Zhu Yiqun glanced at him, then turned back, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes and said, "You'll know if it's really going to be night..."

He no longer wanted to explain. He was so tired and wanted to destroy himself.

When night fell, Song Changsheng immediately understood what Zhu Yiqun meant.

Whenever he appeared under the sky, a hazy glow would envelope him, following him like a shadow.

The most intuitive point of [Star Body] is that it can draw starlight for cultivation, and its efficiency is comparable to that of natural spiritual roots. The effect of acquired spiritual body is slightly worse, but it also exceeds that of ordinary spiritual roots. It is undoubtedly a huge improvement for Song Changsheng.

Moreover, as the potential of the spirit body is explored, Song Changsheng will gain more benefits...

ps: Everyone, this is not a sudden cheat for the protagonist, it was foreshadowed long time ago. The same goes for [Heavenly Star Essence]. It was mentioned long time ago that starlight gathers at Cangmang Peak all year round, and the power of the stars is very rich, which has given birth to many elixirs that absorb the power of the stars (such as the Star Tempering Fruit and the Star Soul Grass in Chapter 178 of the previous volume).

This is the ticket for the protagonist to stand on a bigger stage. Please don't criticize me too much. (End of this chapter)
