Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"boom……"

The heavy stone door slowly opened, and Song Changsheng walked out in the sunlight carrying a large box.

"Clan leader."

Jiang Ling and others came forward immediately.

"Is the family relatively stable during this period?" Song Changsheng handed the wooden box in his hand to Chen Yu and asked calmly.

"Everything is normal. However, in recent days, because [Bamboo Leaf Green] appeared in Yu Shi Fang and Luo Xia Auction House, it caused quite a stir in Luo Xia City. Currently, many people are speculating about the identity of Master Song, but there is still no clear answer."

"[Bamboo Leaf Green] appeared in Luoxia City?"

Song Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly. He was not aware of this matter beforehand, but he quickly realized that this should be the work of Song Yushi. She had said before that she would make Xia Yunxue famous.

As there had been no action before, Song Changsheng had almost forgotten about the matter. Unexpectedly, he had made a big move and achieved such a good effect as soon as he took action.

[Bamboo Leaf Green] is currently very popular. If his guess is correct, when the popularity starts to drop, Song Yushi should slowly throw away the other spiritual wines in his hand.

Of course, most of the remaining spirit wines on her hand were second-level spirit wines. Although the only third-level spirit wine, [Hundred Fruit Brew], had its commendable aspects, it was certainly not comparable to [Bamboo Leaf Green].

But with just a little bit of manipulation behind the scenes, this wave of popularity can be maintained to the greatest extent, allowing the name "Master Song" to be heard by more people.

With fame, it will be much easier to open up the market in the future.

Song Yushi did better than Song Changsheng expected, which is a reflection of his ability and also proves that his choice was correct.

Putting these things aside for the moment, Song Changsheng pointed to the wooden box he had just taken out and said, "Inside this is the [Image Recording Bead] I refined. It only needs to be injected with spiritual power to retain images and sounds.

Each of you takes a few pills with you, and then starting tomorrow you will go in groups of two to inspect the various industries under the family and perform your duties as family inspectors.

Whenever you arrive at a place, no matter it is good, bad, or mediocre, you must use the [Photo Beads] to truthfully record everything you see, and then report to me regularly.

Remember, you can only act in secret and don't reveal your identity."

"Yes, sir!" The eight people bowed in unison.

Song Changsheng nodded slightly and was about to ask them to leave when Li Heng suddenly stepped out and asked, "Patriarch, if we encounter an emergency during the patrol that we don't have time to report, what should we do?"

Hearing this, Song Changsheng frowned slightly.

He was also hesitant about this issue.

The original intention of establishing the Supervisory Office was to take precautions before things go wrong, to avoid the situation where the emperor was far away and the family was deceived.

The Inspector is his eyes and ears outside, and he will report any dereliction of duty or violation of clan rules in a timely manner.

But during this period, they will encounter some emergency situations.

In this case, should the Inspector report to him first according to the procedure and wait for his opinion, or should he stop it directly and then report to him?
If you follow the former approach, you will most likely miss the best time to deal with it, causing greater losses.

And if we follow the latter approach, wouldn't that mean we are dividing the power of the Law Enforcement Hall?

He has the power to supervise and investigate as well as the power to arrest and punish. The power he holds is a bit too heavy, which goes against his original intention of setting up the Supervisory Department.

After a long pause, Song Changsheng met the eight people's gazes and said, "Report in time and wait for a response."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Without the right to act first and report later, the weight of their positions would undoubtedly be reduced a lot.

But they did not have the courage to bargain with Song Changsheng. After receiving the order, they went down to prepare.

At present, the Song family's industries are mainly concentrated in Lingzhou and Zhangye County. In Yangzhou, they are mainly those controlled by old ghost Chihuo and several newly opened taverns.

In addition, there is a spirit stone vein and a black gold vein that are being mined in Xiangzhou. There are several grocery stores in Luoxia City, but overall it looks a bit messy.

Jiang Ling and others were divided into four groups of two. One group patrolled Lingzhou, one group patrolled Zhangye, one group patrolled Yangzhou, and one group patrolled Qingyuan Mountain and Luoxia City.

The first inspection of the Song family's supervisory department began quietly. This time, I wonder how many people will reveal their true colors...

During the time they went down the mountain to patrol, Song Changsheng was not idle either, but came to Wutong Mountains alone.

"We are here to see Master Zixu."

Seeing Song Changsheng coming, Wang Qingshan and others stationed here immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.

Song Changsheng nodded slightly to everyone and said, "Thank you for your hard work. No need to be polite."

"Your Excellency, you are too kind. It is our honor to work for the sect leader. It is not hard work at all. I wonder if your Excellency has come here suddenly. Is there anything you need me to do?" Wang Qingshan said, feeling rather flattered.

“Don’t worry about me, I came here just to see the current situation of the people in Wutong Small World. After all, it is a complete small world. Giving it up like this would be a huge loss for the family. I want to see if there is any way to save it.

The family will send people here from time to time in the future. You don't have to worry about it. As long as you ensure that the secret realm is not invaded by outsiders, you will be rewarded. The family will never be stingy with those who have made contributions."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingshan and others were overjoyed, and immediately patted their chests, saying that they would take good care of the Wutong Secret Realm and asked the sect leader not to worry.

Song Changsheng smiled slightly, waved his sleeves to open the protective formation, and stepped into the space corridor.

As soon as he entered the Wutong Realm, he instantly felt a vast force coming towards him, causing the pores all over his body to expand.

Looking at the dilapidated scene around him, Song Changsheng murmured softly: "Compared to a few years ago, the power of the laws here is even stronger."

He and Song Xianming had previously discovered that these meteorites from outer space brought enormous power of laws to the Wutong Realm.

Long-term cultivation in there by cultivators who have reached the great perfection of foundation building can enable them to feel the power of the laws floating between heaven and earth more clearly and quickly, thus reaching the threshold of the Purple Mansion period more quickly.

And the cultivation of Purple Mansion monks in it helps them to comprehend and refine the laws.

Although Song Changsheng is only in the middle stage of Purple Mansion at present, he has achieved the acquired [Stellar Body] and refined the [Essence of Earth], and has already broken through the bottleneck of the late stage of Purple Mansion. The rest is nothing more than some slow work.

After reaching the late stage of Purple Mansion, one only needs to wait for the [Golden White Marble Fruit] bestowed by Master Bai Yan to mature, and then refine a wood-attributed positive spiritual object of heaven and earth, and breaking through the Great Perfection of Purple Mansion will be a natural thing.

From this point of view, Song Changsheng is not very far away from that step, so he needs to consider refining the power of the law now. After all, refining the power of the law is not an easy thing, and it is difficult to take shortcuts. It can only take a lot of time to accumulate little by little, and it is not uncommon to spend hundreds of years.

Moreover, the more the power of the law is refined, the higher the chance of breaking through the Jindan stage, and the quality of the golden elixir produced will be better.

The city lord broke through to the Purple Mansion at the age of one hundred, and it took him more than three hundred years to break through to the Golden Core. It was not because he had poor aptitude, nor was it because he had no resources.

He was refining as much power of the laws as possible. If Luoxia City had not encountered a major change, he would have been forced to stand up. The Da Qi cultivation world might still be dominated by the Jinwu Sect and the Tianmai Sect.

Some people may ask, a Purple Mansion cultivator only has a lifespan of 500 years, and Mu Guibai has not made a breakthrough until he was over 400 years old in order to consolidate his foundation. Isn’t he afraid that the reserved time is not enough?
After all, breakthroughs also require opportunities. A suitable opportunity can increase the chances of success. Many people have to wait for dozens or even hundreds of years for such an opportunity. Mu Guibai does not intend to leave himself any room for error.

I don't know whether he is arrogant or confident.

However, judging from the existing results, he should be the latter.

As Mu Guibai's disciple, Song Changsheng does not have the courage like his teacher, but fortunately he is young enough and has the help of Wutong Secret Realm, which can save him a lot of time.

Coming to a former mountain, Song Changsheng stroked it with his hand, and the soil and rocks piled on the ground seemed to come alive, quickly forming a high platform.

Song Changsheng waved his sleeves and scattered the formation flags, suppressed the center of the formation with the [Silver Dragon Mace], and arranged a three-level defensive magic formation in conjunction with the formation base.

After so many years, although the frequency of meteorite falls has decreased a bit, there will still be one every now and then. It is better to be safe than sorry. With the formation to protect himself, Song Changsheng can sit back and relax.

He came to the earthen platform and sat cross-legged, practicing the mental method, carefully feeling the surging and violent power of the laws around him, and soon fell into a state of ecstasy, with a faint fluorescent light flickering around him...

Just when Song Changsheng was comprehending the power of the laws, two uninvited guests came to the foot of Cangmang Peak.

Li Yi gently waved his folding fan, looked up at the Cangmang Peak that reached into the sky, shook his head slightly and said: "It is a good mountain, but what a pity, what a pity."

"Brother Li, why do you say that?" Zhang Sheng asked with some confusion.

"It's probably because of the wars that happened one after another. The beauty of this sacred mountain has been destroyed. Although it can be seen that someone is trying to repair it, how can human power compare to the wonders of nature? So I say it's a pity."

"I see. This is actually normal. The Song family has faced the crisis of extinction several times. This sacred mountain has endured a lot for them. The rise of the Song family is largely due to this sacred mountain."

Hearing this, Li Yi looked at him in surprise and said, "Why do I feel like you seem to be very familiar with the Song Group?"

Zhang Sheng laughed and said, "This is the family that Master Zixu was born into, so I naturally have to pay more attention to it.

A Purple Mansion cultivator under fifty years old, how amazing! Look at you and me, we have wasted a hundred years but have only just touched the threshold of the Purple Mansion."

"Oh, Brother Zhang, you are obsessed, aren't you? It takes so many years for a Master Zixu to appear in the Four Realms. Why should you and I make trouble for ourselves?"

Shaking his head slightly, Li Yi took the lead and walked towards the mountain.

Before he had taken a few steps, he was blocked by two young monks in white robes.

Although the other party was only a Qi training cultivator, he was not afraid of the two men. He pressed his sword and asked, "Who are you? Do you have an invitation?"

Li Yi closed his folding fan with a bang, clasped his fists and said, "I am Li Yi, a disciple of Drunkard from Dayu Cultivation Realm, and I am here to visit Master Song. Please let me know."

Perhaps because he was afraid that the other party didn't know the drunkard's name, he added at the end: "My master is a third-level top-notch winemaker."

The two young monks in white shirts looked at each other, then looked at Zhang Sheng and asked, "Who are you?"

"Zhang Sheng, a disciple of Master Zhaoming from the Tianxiao Sect in the Dayu Cultivation Realm, is also here to visit Master Song. Please inform him."

Compared to the less famous "drunkard", the name of Zhaoming Zhenren is well-known to everyone. The two young cultivators couldn't help but look more serious. They bowed and said, "I wonder which Master Song you two seniors want to see? Could you please tell me his name so that I can report to him for you two?"

Li Yi and the others didn't know the specific name, so they rolled their eyes and said, "It's Master Song who knows how to brew wine."

The two young cultivators looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Senior Li, our clan does not have a wine brewing master named Song. You may have come to the wrong place."

According to the unspoken rule in the world of cultivation, one who has reached the third level in all arts can be called a master. However, the Song family only has one third-level winemaker, Xia Yunxue.

Li Yi felt a little regretful when he heard this. Just as he was about to say something, Zhang Sheng beside him keenly caught the key information in his words and quickly asked, "Is there a winemaking master whose last name is not Song?"

"Who do you two want to see? If you don't know their names, please leave." The two men's clueless appearance had already aroused the vigilance of the two monks guarding the mountain. They said no more and drew their swords to force them to retreat.

Li Yi and Zhang Sheng retreated repeatedly. They naturally did not take these two young Qigong practitioners seriously, but the entire Song family was standing behind them, so they did not have the courage to take action.

They have good backgrounds, but their confidence comes from Dayu.

It would be a waste to die here. It is impossible for Tianxiao Sect to go to war with the Da Qi cultivation world for the two of them. At most, they can find a way to declare their majesty. It will not matter to the Song family.

Seeing that they were about to return empty-handed, Zhang Sheng suddenly had an idea and said, "I'll look for Daoist Fellow Lu Zhou. I have a big business deal on behalf of Tianxiao Sect that I want to discuss with Daoist Fellow Lu Zhou."

Hearing this, the two young cultivators frowned. Although they knew that this might just be the other party's excuse, this was beyond their ability to handle.

"Please wait a moment. I will go and report to the Elder of General Affairs."

After a while, Song Luzhou arrived at the foot of the mountain on his sword.

After taking a look at the two young men in front of him, he had already believed most of the identities they reported.

One can lie about his identity, but his cultivation and the demeanor he displayed could not be easily faked.

He bowed politely and said, "Song Luzhou greets the two Taoist friends. Please come up the mountain to have a chat."

Li Yi and the other man returned the greeting.

The three of them went up the mountain together and came to the General Affairs Hall, where they sat down as host and guest.

After the maid finished serving tea and snacks, Song Luzhou got straight to the point and said, "You two said you wanted to discuss business. What do you want to discuss? Do you have proof of your identity as a representative?"
