Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

A vague voice sounded in the hall, and all kinds of ambiguous gazes were immediately cast towards the center. Among these gazes were joy, relief, envy, indifference and even jealousy.

For a moment, Song Changsheng felt like a thorn in his side.

Su Ding's light words instantly put him on the fire.

To be honest, if possible, he would rather have some substantial rewards than Su Ding's promise.

Because this sentence is too heavy and too empty.

It seems that Song Changsheng can mention anything, but is this really the case?

It would be too light, and would not show Su Ding's magnanimity and his respect for his meritorious officials. Once it gets out, others would think that Su Ding is harshly treating his meritorious officials.

It would be too serious. It would not only arouse jealousy, but would also leave a bad impression on the other real people present. As the head of a clan, this is very important if he wants to survive in the outside world.

Although he knew that Jindan Zhenren's words were as good as gold and once spoken, they could not be taken down, Song Changsheng still wanted to try to see if he could change the result.

Song Changsheng bowed slightly to the six Taoists and said, "Reporting to the Taoists, the matter of breaking the formation was entirely due to the concerted efforts of all the seniors and fellow Taoists. Otherwise, with this junior's meager cultivation, it would not be enough to accomplish the task. I cannot take the credit for this. I hope the Taoists can take back the order."

After the words fell, no one else reacted, but Niu Dazhuang became anxious and quickly sent a message to Song Changsheng: "Changsheng, what's wrong, are you having a seizure in your brain?

Promise it, now is not the time for you to be modest. To get a promise from Jin Yang Zhenren is a great opportunity, which many people would beg for but cannot obtain. Were you beaten silly by the [Three-Headed Hellhound]? "

Hearing Niu Dazhuang's voice transmission, Song Changsheng's mouth twitched slightly. He knew that Niu Dazhuang was doing this for his own good, but why did these words feel so wrong?
Song Xianming, who was standing next to Song Changsheng, wanted to say something several times but finally did not speak. Although he really hoped that Song Changsheng would agree, he knew that Song Changsheng had his reasons for doing so and he did not want to interfere with his judgment.

Looking at the figure standing at the bottom of the stairs, a barely noticeable strange color flashed in Su Ding's eyes. He did not expect that Song Changsheng would actually refuse such generous conditions.

He just thought Song Changsheng was being modest, and said in a gentle tone: "Of course there should be rewards for merit, as long as the master has made efforts to break the formation, I will reward him.

But merits also come in different sizes. How can the merits of killing a third-order low-grade monster and killing a third-order perfect monster be lump together?

Not only did you discover the flaw in the formation, you also killed the [Three-Headed Hellhound] and [Hurricane Wolf] within the formation, and finally took the lead in breaking the formation. Who can match your achievements?

What you have broken is not just a formation, but also the future of the Da Qi cultivation world.

I say you are the first to make the contribution, who else would object?"

Su Ding's eyes swept over the other seven people in the hall, and they all bowed their heads, indicating that they had no objection.

Are you kidding? Putting aside the fact that Song Changsheng's achievements are real, just say that this is the first achievement decided by Su Ding himself. Who would protest so blatantly?
You think your life is too long, right?

Su Ding was very satisfied with everyone's performance. He turned his gaze back to Song Changsheng and said, "If you have any requests, just bring them up. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

Su Ding meant what he said sincerely. Although he won the battle, he felt extremely scared afterwards.

He had been guessing the intentions of these monsters, but he never imagined that they were used to extract the essence of Mu Guibai and others and feed back to the [Six-Winged Dragon Snake].

[Six-Winged Dragon Snake] Becoming stronger is a small matter, losing three real people is a big matter.

The three youngest and most promising masters in the Da Qi cultivation world were almost killed. This was like the sky falling for the Da Qi cultivation world.

He himself is already old, and ordinary longevity treasures are no longer effective for him. There is no hope of prolonging his life, and he has not found a way to die and start over, so his time is running out.

After the death of Mu Guibai and others, and his passing away, there were only two Jindan Zhenren left in the huge Da Qi, and they were both very old.

At that time, Da Qi was a piece of fat, juicy meat that anyone could take a bite of.

Fortunately, all this changed because of Song Changsheng.

It is true that he is selfish. There is no one in this world who is not selfish. Even saints have selfish motives.

But he also cherishes the land under his feet and his master's teachings, which are second only to his own life.

So he really wanted to reward Song Changsheng, and there was nothing else mixed in.

Su Ding had already said this, and it would be shameless to refuse further, but he really didn't know how to start the conversation.

I could only bow and say: "I am still young and my experience is even shallower. I don't know how to make a decision for the moment. I dare to ask you to make the decision for me."

At this time, kicking the ball back is the best option.

Just as Su Ding was about to speak, Mu Guibai, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and smiled, "If you don't know how to choose, how about I choose for you?"

Hearing this, Song Changsheng was overjoyed and said quickly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Teacher."

"Fellow Daoist Jinyang, is it feasible for me to choose for my disciple?"

Su Ding laughed and said, "It seems that Daoist Mingxia is interested in the treasures here. Of course you can, but you can only take one. Don't be greedy."

"Mingxia" is the name Mu Guibai was given after he broke through to the Golden Core stage, but it is not widely known and people are still accustomed to calling him the Grand City Lord.

There are many true masters, but there is only one great city lord.

Mu Guibai chuckled and said, "My appetite has always been small. I know that you have a magic weapon in your hand, called [Light Smoke], which was used by the late Mingyang Zhenren when he was young.

I wonder if Fellow Daoist Jin Yang would be willing to give up this treasure and give it to my disciple?"

"【Light Smoke】?"

As soon as this name came out, most of the people present showed puzzled expressions on their faces. They originally thought that Mu Guibai would ask for a Five Elements spiritual object for Song Changsheng to lay the foundation for his future breakthrough to the Golden Elixir stage, but they did not expect it to be a magic weapon, a magic weapon they had never heard of before.

With Song Changsheng's merits, it would be considered an unfair treatment unless he got a top-grade magic weapon.

But looking at the entire Da Qi cultivation world, there are not many top-grade magic weapons, and which one is not famous?
They had never heard of this [Qingyansu].

Although I don’t know why Mu Guibai made this choice, but considering his cultivation status, there must be a reason for doing so.

Therefore, everyone quietly perked up, wanting to see what kind of magic weapon it was that would cause the city lord to personally ask for it.

Song Changsheng also felt a strong sense of anticipation in his heart. He had never heard of the name of [Qing Yansu], but he believed that Mu Guibai would not let him suffer any loss.

"Alas, Mingxia, Mingxia, you have such a poisonous pair of eyes that you actually fell in love with [Qingyansu]. Well, who made me ask for it?" Su Ding smiled bitterly and shook his head. He reached out and took out a pair of cloth shoes from his sleeves. They were shallow-topped, completely black, with cloud patterns embroidered on both sides, and round toes with thick white bottoms. They looked ordinary and didn't look like a powerful magic weapon at all.

Song Changsheng stepped forward to take the cloth shoes. The moment he put them on, he felt that the shoes were very light. If they were not right in front of him, he would hardly feel the weight of the shoes.

For this reason alone, the materials used in this pair of shoes are extremely extraordinary.

He only knew that this kind of shoes was called Yunlu, and he didn't know anything else, so he could only turn his inquiring eyes to Mu Guibai.

Mu Guibai knew that Song Changsheng didn't know the value of the shoes, so he smiled and said, "Don't be fooled by the ordinary smell of these shoes. They are actually a top-grade magic weapon made of top-grade silkworm silk. Wearing them can greatly increase your speed.

It can also help one climb mountains and cross rivers as if walking on flat ground, pass through snow without leaving any traces, and wade through rivers without any waves. When Jinwu Sect's Mingyang Zhenren was young, he escaped countless fatal disasters by relying on this magic weapon.

I, the master, also learned about the existence of this magic weapon by chance."

Hearing this, Song Changsheng's eyes widened in surprise. He naturally knew the name of Zhenren Mingyang. When he was still a cultivator in Zifu, he was known as the fastest person below Jindan.

At first, people only thought that it was because of the special martial arts he practiced, but they didn't expect that it was actually the result of a pair of shoes.

Thinking of this, Song Changsheng's eyes gradually became hotter as he looked at Qing Yansu. This was the fastest person under the Golden Core level!

After fighting with the Red-tailed Golden Eagle, he realized how important speed is. You may not be able to beat it, but you must be able to outrun it.

With this item, the risk of him fighting with others in the future will be much smaller.

Moreover, it can improve his strength in disguise. After all, the only way to defeat martial arts in the world is speed!
"Thank you for the treasure, Immortal." Song Changsheng hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude. Although he didn't know what Su Ding was up to, the magic weapon was a real thing. He would ask the city lord to help take a look later, and he was not afraid that Su Ding would play any tricks.

Everyone watched Song Changsheng happily put [Qingyansu] into the storage bag, feeling a little uneasy. They knew nothing about the magic weapon except that it was a pair of shoes, but looking at the happy look on Song Changsheng's face, they knew that it was definitely an extraordinary magic weapon.

For a moment, curiosity reached its peak.

But how could Song Changsheng tell them? Naturally, the fewer people who knew about this life-saving weapon, the better.

At this time, Su Ding's voice sounded again in the hall: "Little friend Song, if you have free time, you can come to Jinwu Sect more often."

Song Changsheng's heart trembled. This was the second time Su Ding had invited him.

But he already knew Su Ding's purpose, so it was naturally impossible for him to go. He could only respond vaguely, and then secretly swore in his heart that he would go into seclusion when he returned, and would not come out until Su Ding died!

"Sheng'er, there are also rewards for being a teacher."

As he spoke, a jade plate made of white jade appeared in front of Song Changsheng.

"This is……"

Niu Dazhuang appeared out of nowhere, holding the same token in his hand and waving it in front of him, saying, "This is the elder token of Luoxia City. Hey, I have one too."

“Yes, after returning to Luoxia, you can use this item to go to the third-level treasure house and choose any treasure as your reward this time.

As for the position of elder, whether you can take it or not is entirely up to you. "

"Thank you for the reward, teacher." Song Changsheng solemnly accepted the jade token. The relationship between him and Luoxia City was getting closer and closer, but he didn't think it was a bad thing.

Jinwu Sect and Luoxia City expressed their opinions one after another, so Tianmai Sect naturally could not remain indifferent. Wuxin Zhenren Baiyan took out an object and pushed it in front of Song Changsheng, smiling and saying, "The younger generation in my family were ignorant before and offended you a lot, but you saved me without holding a grudge, which is admirable.

Young people are too shy to speak up themselves, so I, as an elder, have to speak up. This is a bottle of [Wanhua Lu] that I made in my early years. After taking it, you can increase your cultivation by 50 years. Don’t refuse it, young friend.”

Hearing this, Song Changsheng looked at Bai Xueying not far away in surprise, but the other party turned her face away, obviously not yet figuring out how to face Song Changsheng.

"Hey, it wasn't in vain."

Song Changsheng was secretly delighted. This was an unexpected gain. He rescued Bai Xueying in the first place because any damage to their team would affect the breaking of the formation. If it were another situation, he would not bother to care.

Song Changsheng was not surprised by the relationship between Bai Xueying and Bai Yan. The Bai family was a very powerful force in the Tianmai Sect. One-third of the Purple Mansion cultivators in the Tianmai Sect had the surname Bai, and there were even more of them among the cultivators below.

A gossiper once proposed a hypothesis that if the Bai family separated from the Tianmai Sect, the Bai family's power would directly surpass Luoxia City and become the third in Da Qi.

This phenomenon is not uncommon. In the Jinwu Sect, the Su family's power is also considerable, but not as exaggerated as that of the Bai family. However, it also accounts for about one-fifth.

For example, the Bandung Chamber of Commerce is almost completely controlled by Peng’s people, and several consecutive presidents have been Peng’s people.

After Song Changsheng received the rewards, Zhan Tianxia and others also received their rewards one by one. Although they were not as good as his, they were also very generous. The real people were not stingy in this regard.

After leaving the hall, Niu Dazhuang came up to him and said with a sigh, "Why didn't I realize you were so popular before? Master Jinyang invited you twice, and Master Wuxin also treated you differently.

Even Master Uncle treats you better than me."

Hearing this, Song Changsheng looked at him helplessly, shook his head and said nothing.

Niu Dazhuang touched his chin in a pretentious manner, looked Song Changsheng up and down and said, "Having a good-looking appearance makes one different. It's a pity that I, your senior brother, don't pay attention to these things, otherwise I wouldn't be able to let you stand out."

"Senior Brother, do you really think this is a good thing?" Song Changsheng suddenly asked back.

Niu Dazhuang frowned and thought carefully, and finally muttered: "Good, and not good."

Hearing this nonsense, Song Changsheng rolled his eyes and changed the subject: "What's the situation with Bai Xueying?"

"You do not know?"

Song Changsheng said blankly: "I should know?"

Seeing that he was not pretending, Niu Dazhuang slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, you really don't know, before you, this woman was the youngest formation master in Da Qi.

In the end, you stole their limelight. Do you think they would not target you?"

Hearing this, Song Changsheng couldn't help but feel a little amused. This was something he had never thought of, and he had never cared about these titles.

I can only say... false reputation can harm people.
