Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"What's going on? Why do I feel uneasy?"

Song Changsheng frowned slightly and swept his spiritual sense around. Cangmang Peak was calm and everything was normal for the Song family, which meant that the problem was not on the family's side.

"Strange, could it be that something went wrong during the training just now?"

Thinking of this, he was startled. This was no small matter. He quickly calmed down and recited the [Qing Xin Jue], but after reciting it several times, there was no effect at all. Instead, the problem seemed to get worse.

Under such circumstances, Song Changsheng naturally couldn't continue his retreat. He stood up, waved his sleeves and opened the door of the secret room. The long-lost sunshine shone on his body, making him warm and making his irritable mood much better.

"Chief, you are out of seclusion."

"It's Qing'an. Nothing happened to the family during the time I was in seclusion, right?"

"Everything is fine in the clan, nothing else has happened, except that some time ago, the elder Wang Wanzhou of the Wutong Wang Clan passed away."

"What, uncle passed away?" Song Changsheng was shocked. Wang Wanzhou was a senior whom he admired very much. He had received a lot of favors and care from him when he was in Liuyun Market. Now that the other party had passed away, he should go to pay his respects in person.

"Qing'an, help me make some arrangements. I want to go and pay my respects."

"You're going down the mountain?" Song Qing'an was a little surprised when he heard this. He had clearly heard Song Changsheng say that he would not go down the mountain in the next few years.

"Yes, let's go down the mountain." Song Changsheng nodded slowly.

The reason why he didn't want to go down the mountain was to avoid attracting Su Ding's attention, but Wang Wanzhou saved his life, so it would have been fine if he didn't know about it. Now that he knew about it, it was reasonable for him to go there.

Moreover, the Wutong Mountains are only a few thousand miles away from Cangmang Peak. At his speed, it would only take a few quarters of an hour, so it should be fine to go there and come back quickly.

"As ordered!"

Song Qing'an prepared incense, candles and paper money for Song Changsheng's memorial service as quickly as possible.

After going down the mountain, Song Changsheng looked in the direction of Wutong Mountains and suddenly had the idea of ​​trying out the speed of [Qingyansu].

He just thought about it and suddenly felt the wind under his feet. He took a tentative step forward. He was clearly stepping on air, but it felt as steady as if he had landed on a step.

There was a hint of surprise in Song Changsheng's eyes, and he walked up to the air step by step as if climbing stairs.

Walking in the air is something that only Jindan cultivators can do, but now he can do it easily with the power of [Qingyansu].

He tried to speed up, 10%, 20%, 30%... His speed increased by more than 50% compared to before, and was already infinitely close to that of an ordinary Purple Mansion Great Perfection cultivator.

As his cultivation level increases, his speed will also increase further. At the same time, Song Changsheng's ability in pursuit or escape will also improve by leaps and bounds.

Song Changsheng hurried on his way and arrived at the Wutong Mountains in just over two quarters of an hour. Looking at the scenery below that was both familiar and unfamiliar, the lingering irritability in his heart subsided a little.

The last time he came to Wutong Mountains was when he participated in the Wutong Secret Realm Trial with Song Lutong and others. At that time, Chang Tianhua gathered a group of people to surround and kill him, causing him to miss an opportunity to build a foundation, and he also made Chang Tianhua pay a huge price for this.

"I don't know what's going on in the Wutong Secret Realm." Song Changsheng murmured softly.

He had proposed the idea of ​​further developing the Wutong Secret Realm a long time ago, but the Song family was short of manpower at that time, and later experienced a series of turmoil, so the large-scale development had to be shelved, and there has been no intention of restarting it until now.

Song Changsheng thought that if there was a chance, it would not be impossible to pick it up again.

As he was thinking, he had already arrived at Wang's territory.

He did not alarm anyone. Not only did he restrain his own aura, he also used a trick to deceive the eyes. He walked in so openly that the two young disciples outside the Wang family's mountain gate did not notice him at all.

Song Changsheng quickly discovered the location of the Wang family's ancestral tomb with his spiritual sense. He landed in the center of the cemetery. Among the densely packed tombstones, he immediately spotted the one belonging to Wang Wanzhou.

Looking at the new grave in front of him, Song Changsheng felt mixed emotions. If Wang Wanzhou had not protected him, he might have died in the attack by the Dihuo Sect and the Qiu family.

Time flies, thirty years have passed, he is no longer the weak Qigong cultivator, he has grown into a real towering tree, able to shelter the creatures of Ling and Yang states from wind and rain.

But the white-haired old man who stood in front of him thirty years ago has now turned into a handful of earth.

Song Changsheng slowly squatted down in front of the stele, lit the incense and candles he brought, burned a few stacks of paper money, and said softly: "Uncle, I originally wanted to invite you to my wedding wine, who would have thought that after just one retreat, we would be separated forever.

But you can't blame Yuechan for this, she didn't mean it. I brought you some good wine brewed by my mother today, you can drink it first, and I will invite you to the wedding wine after Yuechan and I get married."

As he spoke, Song Changsheng took out a wine jug and poured the clear wine in front of Wang Wanzhou's tombstone. For a moment, the rich aroma of wine spread.

After the worship, Song Changsheng thought about it and felt that he should meet with Wang Qingquan...

Wang Qingquan walked into the clan hall with his hands behind his back, a look of indelible sorrow on his face.

He was in a very upset mood. First, the highly respected elder of the clan, Wang Wanzhou, passed away. A few days later, the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation of the Wang family also failed to break through to the foundation building stage. Not only did he waste the [Foundation Building Pill], but he couldn't even save his life.

In addition, the Wutong Secret Realm, which Wang had been responsible for guarding, had also seen frequent unusual movements in recent days. The successive blows had made him mentally and physically exhausted, and even his hair had turned a lot whiter recently.

"Ugh--"

With a long sigh, Wang Qingquan threw himself heavily onto the chair, staring at the empty ceiling with lifeless eyes.

Suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded in the empty hall: "What is troubling Patriarch Wang?"

"Who?" Wang Qingquan was startled and quickly stood up to look for the source of the sound.

"Patriarch Wang, it's me."

Song Changsheng had no intention of playing hide-and-seek with him, so he came out from behind the screen at the back of the hall and revealed his identity directly to Wang Qingquan.

The moment he saw him, Wang Qingquan was startled and quickly stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Wang Qingquan, the head of the Wang family, pays respects to Master Zixu. I didn't know that the sect master had arrived, so I was unable to greet him from afar. I hope the sect master will forgive me."

"Patriarch Wang, there is no need to be so polite. I just came out of retreat today and was shocked to hear the bad news. I came here uninvited. So, it was Song who was rude first."

Speaking of Wang Wanzhou, Wang Qingquan's expression was a little gloomy. As the only cultivator in the family who had reached the great perfection of foundation building, after his death, the overall strength of the Wang family declined significantly.

But he still bowed and returned the greeting, saying: "Thank you, patriarch, for coming here in person from afar. If my uncle knew about this, he would definitely be happy." Song Changsheng nodded slightly, and then said: "I know everything that happened in the Wang family during this period.

Over the past hundred years, the Wang family has always been the Song family's most steadfast ally. Now that you are in trouble, the Song family will naturally not stand idly by.

"Patriarch Wang, if there is anything you need our help with, please feel free to ask. Even if you want a Foundation Building Pill, I can agree to it."

Hearing this, Wang Qingquan was shocked. No matter where it was, the outflow of [Foundation Building Pill] was strictly controlled.

Wang had already exchanged a [Foundation Building Pill] for her merits some time ago. According to common sense, it would be impossible to obtain a second one in a short period of time. And now, Song Changsheng actually said this. Did she hear it wrong?
He carefully glanced at Song Changsheng out of the corner of his eye, trying to figure out his attitude, but found that his expression was calm as usual, without any emotion, as if whatever choice he made was within the other party's expectations.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

After waiting for a while, Song Changsheng found that Wang Qingquan was still reluctant to express his opinion, so he calmly asked, "Why, you don't need it?"

Hearing this, Wang Qingquan wanted to nod, but he was reluctant to give up this piece of cake, and he hesitated for a moment.

In fact, he was just overthinking it. Song Changsheng really had no other intentions. He just wanted to give them special treatment because of Wang Wanzhou's past diligence and Wang's loyalty over the years.

Who knew that this would make Wang Qingquan, who was cautious by nature, become more cautious.

After waiting for a long time, Wang Qingquan didn't say anything, and even Song Changsheng became a little impatient.

At this time, Wang Qingquan cautiously said, "I heard that the clan leader intends to develop the land around Zhangye County. I wonder if there is still a shortage of manpower?"

Song Changsheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly: "There is such a plan. Tuozhou has a vast area, but it has been annexed for a short time. There are still many wild places. If you want to develop these places, you need a lot of manpower. Naturally, the more manpower, the better."

Wang Qingquan was delighted and said quickly, "In this case, Wang is willing to serve the master at his whim."

Hearing his words, Song Changsheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and chuckled, "Is this what Patriarch Wang wants? Are you really not going to consider it anymore?"

"It is the Wang family's honor to share the worries of the sect leader." Wang Qingquan smiled.

"In that case, I won't say anything more. I will send someone to inform you when that day comes, and I promise you that all the land you develop around Tuozhou will belong to your Wang family."

Song Changsheng's words sounded like a blank check. After all, all the land around Tuozhou was ownerless, and whoever developed it could occupy it.

In fact, Wang family didn't need to obtain Song family's consent to expand new territory for the family, but Wang Qingquan mentioned it anyway. He was seeking insurance for Wang family.

As long as Song Changsheng nodded, it meant that their actions were endorsed by the Song family, and they would also be protected by the Song family.

In this way, there is no need to worry about being swallowed up by other forces.

As the saying goes, when beating a dog, you have to look at its owner.

Song Changsheng knew Wang Qingquan's purpose clearly, so he agreed readily. The Song family would not lose anything anyway. He had originally prepared to lose a [Foundation Building Pill], but now it seemed that it was not necessary.

Seeing that Song Changsheng agreed, Wang Qingquan's originally uneasy heart calmed down, and was replaced by excitement.

Tuozhou and the surrounding unowned land originally had a unified name, called the Ten Thousand Mountains. It became the territory of the human race only after the demon clan was defeated.

Compared to Lingzhou, which has been developed for many years, it is a treasure trove of riches. Just finding a few mineral veins or sacred mountains will be enough for the Wang family to make a fortune.

Everyone knows that there is wealth there, but few dare to take action.

Because Tuozhou is the territory of Luoxia City, the so-called unowned lands around it are actually meat on Luoxia City’s plate, but the stomach has not been emptied yet.

Therefore, only the forces of Luoxia City were allowed and dared to share the meat.

The Wang family is affiliated with the Song family, and the Song family is a staunch ally of Luoxia City, so they are naturally qualified.

Wang Qingquan had that idea a long time ago, and when he heard that the Song family was interested in large-scale development, he became even more eager to make his move. After all, it was safer to work with the Song family than to go it alone.

But he just didn't know how to bring it up.

This time, Song Changsheng gave him a great opportunity.

At this moment, the joy in his heart could not be described in words.

Song Changsheng didn't care what Wang Qingquan thought. He just wanted to help Wang today, nothing more.

"Now that the decision has been made, I will return to my clan." Song Changsheng nodded lightly and prepared to leave.

Just as he turned around, Wang Qingquan suddenly asked, "Master, please stay."

"Anything else?"

"Reporting to the Sect Master, it is like this. Starting from a year ago, the disciples of our clan guarding the Wutong Secret Realm occasionally heard abnormal vibrations from the secret realm, accompanied by strange sounds.

It wasn't obvious at first, and they didn't take it seriously, but recently the vibrations and noises have become increasingly intense. I suspect something has happened in the secret realm.

But you also know that the secret realm is blocked by a large formation and can only be opened once every ten years. Now there is still more than a year before the next opening, so I can't send people in to explore.

Since you are here, why don't you go and take a look yourself?"

Wang Qingquan's eyes were full of anticipation. The value of a small world was immeasurable. If something went wrong, not only him, but the entire Wang family would not be able to bear the consequences.

He was originally planning to report it, but now that Song Changsheng has come in person, there is no reason for him to do anything more, right?
"Vibration and noise?"

Song Changsheng frowned slightly. The Wutong Secret Realm has existed for hundreds of years, and such a strange thing has never happened. If this happened in those incomplete small worlds, he could still understand it, but the Wutong Secret Realm is a stable small world, how could such a situation happen?
Thinking of this, Song Changsheng became a little restless. Not to mention the huge number of spiritual medicines in the Wutong Secret Realm, this small world was of great use to him. It was related to the eternal foundation of the Song family, and there could be no problems under any circumstances.

Therefore, he quickly said, "There is no time to lose, let's go and take a look now."
