Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Song Qingyun was in seclusion to break through his foundation, and Song Changsheng protected him. Although he was unable to get away for a while, he was not idle either.

Today he received a message from Jiang Ling and others who were out on patrol.

During the past few months, they had visited all places where the family had businesses. Since this was their first time going down the mountain for an inspection, everyone was in high spirits and they paid attention to every detail.

If they didn't check, they wouldn't know. Once they checked, they really found the problems. Fortunately, they were not urgent matters, so after returning to the clan, Jiang Ling summarized the situation and reported it to Song Changsheng.

After reading it, Song Changsheng didn't react much. As the family had more and more industries, the distance between them became larger and larger, and the interests became greater and greater, it was normal for some problems to arise in the management.

It was precisely because of this consideration that he set up the Supervisory Department in order to be able to discover these problems in a timely manner to prevent them from causing disasters over time.

You should know that a thousand-mile long dam can be breached by an ant hole, and a hundred-foot-high room can be burned down by a spark of fire.

The Song family is like a towering building, and the people on the list are the termites hidden among the pillars. If they are not cleared out in time, not only will their numbers increase, but they will also cause endless harm.

Taking out a flying sword for communication and activating it with his magic power, Song Changsheng said calmly: "Song Luyuan, the owner of the magic weapon shop in Wangyue Market, Song Luming and Song Changfeng, the owners of the Yangzhou wine shop, and Song Changshan, the owner of the spiritual stone mine in the Qingyuan Mountain Range in Xiangzhou, are suspected of corruption. The practical elder Song Changxuan of the Law Enforcement Hall is ordered to lead a thorough investigation and punish them according to the clan law!"

After saying that, he let go, and the flying sword of communication turned into a golden light and shot up into the sky.

After doing all this, Song Changsheng returned to the cave and sat cross-legged in meditation, as if nothing had happened. He believed that Song Changxuan could do this little thing well.

Little did he know that Song Changxuan, who was far away in Cangmang Peak, was shocked after receiving his message.

Holding the flying sword for communication in his hand, Song Changxuan could not stop pacing in the hall, his face full of surprise and doubt.

As the current head of the Law Enforcement Hall, he naturally knew that Song Changsheng had gone to Dingyuan City and was not currently in the family, but it was precisely because he knew that he felt so shocked.

The Law Enforcement Hall had not received any news about the actions of the people mentioned in the summons. Instead, Song Changsheng, who was far away in Tuozhou, knew about it first. And he did not just talk nonsense, but listed the evidence in detail at the end of the summons.

As the patriarch of the clan, Song Changsheng possesses unlimited power, and this alone is enough for him to convict these people.

In Song Changxuan's opinion, the reason why he was asked to deal with it was more of a warning.

For a moment, Song Changxuan felt a chill down his spine. It was obvious that after what had happened before, Song Changsheng no longer completely trusted the Law Enforcement Hall. He had a new pair of "eyes".

Thinking of this, Song Changxuan dared not neglect it anymore and immediately shouted outside: "Someone come, someone come!"

Not long after, a group of family monks saw Song Changxuan, with a gloomy face, walking down the mountain in a menacing manner with four deacons who also had grim expressions and forty law enforcement monks.

Seeing this scene, not only the ordinary tribesmen were frightened, but even the family elders were alarmed.

"What's wrong with Changxuan?" Song Luzhou frowned slightly. After several reforms by Song Changsheng, the power in his hands was weakened by a large part. He no longer had the right to interfere in the internal affairs of the Law Enforcement Hall, so he did not know that four deacons outside were found to have embezzled money.

"Nearly half of the staff of the Law Enforcement Hall have been dispatched. I'm afraid something big has happened outside." Xia Yunxue said quietly.

"Since Chang Xuan didn't notify us, it must be that the tribe members outside violated the tribe law. Four law enforcement teams were sent there at once. How many people are they going to arrest?"

Song Luzhou showed worry. Many people had been punished before because of the reorganization of the Law Enforcement Hall. Now that Song Changxuan had made such a big move, who knew how many people would suffer.

Although he knew that these people deserved their punishment, the series of major actions might cause turmoil in the family.

At this time, a peaceful voice suddenly sounded behind everyone: "If the family wants to become stronger, some pain must be experienced. If you are soft-hearted for a moment, it will affect the entire family."

When everyone turned around, they found that Song Xianming, dressed in a purple robe, had come behind them at some point.

"Meet the Supreme Elder."

"Greetings, uncle."

Song Luzhou and others bowed in greeting.

"No need to be polite, just get up."

As soon as he stood up, Song Luzhou couldn't wait to ask, "Uncle, do you know what's going on?"

"There is a clan member at the foot of the mountain who is corrupt, and Changxuan is arresting him."

"Embezzlement? Even if there are members of the clan who are embezzling, there is no need to make such a big scene, not to mention that Chang Xuan is leading the team himself."

"Haha, because it was not the Law Enforcement Hall that found out the embezzlement, but the Supervisory Department." Song Xianming said it directly without hiding anything. The affairs of the Supervisory Department could not be concealed. After all, everyone is not a fool. They will definitely have doubts about the source of the information. Instead of hiding it, it is better to be open and honest.

I didn't mention it at the beginning in order to launch a surprise attack, but now that I have successfully established my authority, there is no need to hide it anymore, so as to avoid causing them to make unnecessary speculations.

"Uncle, what is the Supervisory Department?"

This new term made everyone present feel panicked.

It's not that they have ghosts, but it's a normal reaction when facing unknown things.

Under the nervous gaze of the crowd, Song Xianming briefly explained the functions of the Supervisory Office. Other information such as its composition structure, number of inspectors, and supervisory methods were not disclosed.

"Uncle, since the Supervisory Office has been established, why haven't we received any news about it?" Song Luzhou showed a dissatisfied look on his face. As the elder of general affairs, he should have the right to know about this matter.

Hearing his complaints, Song Xianming couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't you know now?

I know you are dissatisfied, but what I want to say is that if a family wants to be strong and pass on its legacy for generations, this is a must.

As long as you behave yourself and abide by the clan laws, what is there to be afraid of with just a supervisory officer? "

After saying that, Song Xianming turned and left, leaving everyone standing there frowning in thought.

After a moment, Xia Yunxue shook her head slightly and walked towards the winemaking workshop. As the only elder from another family in the family, she had always been conscientious in her duties and kept a low profile. It was the same to her whether there was an Inspectorate or not.

Song Luzhou and the others smiled bitterly at each other. They were not afraid that any of their secrets would be discovered by the Supervisory Office. They just didn't want there to be a pair of eyes behind them all the time.

However, as family elders, their personal feelings were secondary, and whether it was beneficial to the family was the main thing. The elders who recognized the reality dispersed one after another. Tonight was destined to be a restless night...

Under Song Changxuan's personal supervision, the four deacons on the list were subjected to the most rigorous investigation, and it was finally discovered that what was listed was just the tip of the iceberg.

Even the one who embezzled the least embezzled thousands of spirit stones. The one who embezzled the most was Song Changshan, who was responsible for supervising the mining of the spirit stone veins in the Qingyuan Mountains. Relying on the fact that the emperor was far away, he carried out destructive mining in some areas of the spirit stone veins. In just a few years, he embezzled tens of thousands of spirit stones.

When Song Changxuan saw the data, he was so angry that he was shaking all over and almost slapped him to death, but fortunately he still had some rationality and brought these people back to the Law Enforcement Hall for public trial.

The final result was that Song Changshan had all his property confiscated, his cultivation was abolished, and he was expelled from the family. From him and his three generations below him, they would never be reused in the future.

The remaining three people had lighter crimes, but all their property was confiscated, their cultivation was abolished, and they were sent to the mortal world to die, and their direct blood relatives were also implicated.

Looking at the trial result, Song Changsheng felt no emotion. He was not a cold-blooded person, but he had no sympathy for such a family parasite.

If these people did not have the Song blood flowing in their bodies, they would have been beheaded long ago.

He has secretly ordered Jiang Ling and others to conduct an overall inspection every six months and a random inspection every month. No matter how many people are found, he will not show leniency. He must let everyone see his determination.

Of course, he also knew that this kind of thing could not be eliminated. For every policy, there would be a countermeasure. These people would become more and more cunning, and this would be a protracted war!

Putting this matter aside for the moment, Song Changsheng began to think about another thing.

Since signing the agreement with the Tianjian Sect a few years ago, the Song family has provided the Tianjian Sect with a large amount of [Black Gold] every year. Such a huge amount of [Black Gold] must have a place to go, right?
"I hope nothing weird happens." Song Changsheng muttered to himself. The cultivation world of Da Qi is getting quieter than the other now. No one knows what these people are secretly doing.

The abnormal behavior of the Tianjian Sect made him feel vaguely uneasy.

Fortunately, there is Xiangzhou between the Song family and the Tianjian Sect, so even if something happens, they won’t be panicked...

The sun rose and set, the stars moved, and six months passed quietly.

One day, Song Changsheng, who was comprehending the formation, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards where Song Qingyun was in seclusion.

"Is it going to be an official breakthrough so soon?" Song Changsheng frowned slightly. The time it takes to break through the foundation building varies. For example, it took him several years. Song Qingxi and the others took about sixteen months with the help of the [Foundation Building Pill]. However, Song Qingyun only took less than a year.

Anyone who dares to do this is either an idiot or has absolute confidence in himself.

Although he knew that Song Qingyun belonged to the latter, he was still a little worried and used his spiritual sense to keep a close eye on him.

Song Qingyun's originally calm face suddenly revealed a look of pain. Veins bulged on the back of his hands and forehead, as if something was drilling in them.

Song Changsheng, who had experienced all of this, knew that this was the reason why the spiritual power in his body began to surge and become violent. Most of the cultivators failed at this stage.

However, Song Changsheng was not too worried about Song Qingyun. He had been using the medicinal bath prepared by Zhu Yiqun to strengthen his foundation since he was a child. He had been deliberately suppressing his cultivation over the years, and his meridians had long been trained to be extremely powerful, so it was almost impossible for him to stumble.

Sure enough, Song Qingyun passed the "spiritual power barrier" very easily, even more smoothly than he did back then.

The next step is the "physical body test", which he also does not need to worry about. All the young disciples of the Song family who have some talent are now practicing Dharma and physical body, and try their best to catch up with the young generation of cultivators in the major sects.

Song Qingyun is not as talented as him in body building, but it is still easy for him to pass the "physical body barrier".

His biggest problem lies in the final "Soul Barrier", which is also what Song Changsheng is most worried about. He uses his spiritual sense to keep a close eye on him and dares not relax at all.

However, the more he looked, the more he felt that Song Qingyun's condition was a little strange.

His eyes were closed, his head slightly lowered, his chest rising and falling rhythmically, and his whole body exuded a sense of calm and peace.

This feeling doesn't feel like a breakthrough, but rather like... sleeping?
When Song Changsheng first came to this conclusion, he didn't believe it, but after observing for a quarter of an hour, he was sure that Song Qingyun was indeed sleeping, and it seemed that he was sleeping soundly.

Song Changsheng felt that his brain was not enough. Sleeping during a breakthrough was unheard of!
He wanted to use some means to wake him up, but considering the special nature of his physique, he finally resisted the urge and chose to wait and see.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon, five hours had passed, and Song Qingyun still hadn't changed at all.

If it weren't for the vortex of spiritual energy above the cave, Song Changsheng would have doubted whether he had made a breakthrough or not.

Six hours, seven hours... twelve hours...

Song Changsheng felt a little numb, but Dingyuan City was in an uproar.

"Hey, Brother Zhang, if I remember correctly, the spiritual energy vortex was there yesterday, right?"

"Yeah, shit, has this guy still not finished after more than ten hours?" The cultivator named Zhang cursed.

"My goodness, it took more than ten hours to complete the third stage of foundation building. This is simply unheard of."

Because the spiritual energy vortex was very conspicuous, more and more people began to discuss it, and some curious people even rushed over here, wanting to see what kind of person could take such a long time to break through the foundation.

When Song Changsheng realized this, the inn they were in was already surrounded by a crowd.

It was obviously unnecessary to cast a spell to hide at this time. Fortunately, they were all guarding outside and would not affect Song Qingyun's breakthrough.

Time continued to pass, and in the blink of an eye, thirty-six hours had passed. After three whole days and three nights, the vortex of spiritual energy was still there, and everyone was numb.

Many monks could not hold on any longer and began to leave, but soon more monks came over.

There was even a handicap created as a result of this, with people betting on how long it would take Song Qingyun to break through, with betting options ranging from one hour to hundreds of hours.

Amid the anticipation of all the cultivators in the city, three hours later, Song Qingyun's unchanging posture finally changed.

I saw his eyes slightly cracked, then slowly opened, and finally raised his head, stretched his hands, yawned, and said bleary-eyed and inarticulately: "I am really tired from this sleep."

Song Changsheng: “…”
