Chapter 296 Steady Development

Fortunately, the war with the Tianhai League is thousands of miles away and will not affect the Wei Kingdom for the time being, so Song Qingming does not have to worry about this.

In Funiu Mountain, since Song Qingming issued the family rules to encourage everyone to learn the skills of cultivating immortals, all the cultivators of the Song family have basically learned one or two skills that can be used.

The most common skills in the world of cultivating immortals are elixir, talisman, instrument, and formation. After these years of development, the Song family has made great progress in each direction.

Since the second sister Song Qingwan was injured a year ago, the family has also begun to focus on training other alchemists. At present, there are already several good seedlings, among which the best performance is Song Xintang, who is ranked ninth in the new generation.

Although he is only a four-spiritual-root cultivator, he has some talent in alchemy. He has been learning alchemy with Song Qingwan in the market for only five years, and his level has surpassed the elders of the clan who came before him. Although he is not as good as his second sister Song Qingwan, the difference is not big. As long as he is patient and gives more time, this kid should not be too far away from breaking through to a mid-level alchemist. Seeing that there is a good seedling, Song Qingwan, who is recovering from her injuries, is more relieved.

In addition to the fourteenth old Song Qingsi, who was personally trained by Song Qingming, the Song family has added three or four formation masters in recent years. Although these people are not as talented as Song Qingsi, it is no big problem to arrange some ordinary formations. As long as they can persist, they will have the opportunity to improve their formation level to the upper level in the future.

It is difficult to earn spirit stones by this skill of formation master in the early stage, so most people will not give priority to this skill. After the death of the eldest elder of the Song family, the twelfth aunt suddenly died in the war during the monster riot. The entire family was left with only Song Qingming, a formation master of average level, and the inheritance in this area was almost cut off.

Fortunately, now there are rewards for learning immortal cultivation skills, and many skills that were less popular in the early stage have begun to develop in this direction. The family has spiritual stones to help, and as long as you have talent in this area, it will be easier to learn.

As for the art of making talismans and refining instruments, these two are relatively common skills in the world of immortal cultivation. Now there are more people learning in the Song family. There are more than one top-grade talisman maker and refining instrument in the entire Song family. There is no shortage of magic tools and talismans in the Song family market shop all year round. Sometimes when business is not good, there will even be a lot of backlogs in the shop.

Not only these, other less popular immortal cultivation skills, the Song family has also begun to dabble in other people. There are already talents in spiritual plants, animal taming, puppets, and spirit exploration. Although their level is not very high now, as long as there is inheritance in this area, the family will always be able to use it in the future when it develops smoothly.

No matter which immortal cultivation skill, as long as the level can be improved to the first-class upper grade, it is easy to earn spiritual stones. This is also Song Qingming's biggest original intention, so that they can at least have a way to support themselves. It is also a major boost to the future development of the family.

If a family of immortal cultivation wants to develop steadily, it is best to prepare in advance to take more roads. Now the family can still have some surplus every year by relying on the market and several mines, but if the family is not doing well in the future, even if these assets are gone, if everyone has some ability to make money, they will not worry about a little spiritual stone at that time.

In addition to these, the Song family has also increased the family's investment in spiritual fields and spiritual medicine gardens in the past 20 years.

Cultivating spiritual fields is the most practical and most stable investment return project in the world of immortal cultivation. Before building a foundation, cultivators must eat spiritual rice. This kind of spiritual thing basically has no worries about sales. In addition to satisfying their own cultivators, they can also take out a part of it to sell in Qinghefang every year. This is a very stable income for the family. Although it is not much compared to other places to make money, it is stable. After a long time, it is also very considerable.

The Song family originally had dozens of acres of spiritual fields. After more than ten years of expansion, it has added up to 200 acres. Although it is still far behind the Huang family, which has more than 800 acres of spiritual fields, it has also accumulated a lot of foundation for the future Song family.

However, with more spiritual fields, the Song family’s cultivators seem to be insufficient. Every time the farming season comes, the Song family has to draw people from various places, and sometimes even has to hire some from the subordinate families to help.

The Song family now has only 50 cultivators in total, and they have to be dispersed to several places to manage the family business. The remaining people in Funiushan are indeed a bit tight. It is estimated that it will take decades until the next generation of family cultivators rise up before they can slowly get rid of this trouble.

After staying in Funiushan for more than a year in peace, news came from Qinghefang again, forcing Song Qingming to come to the market again.

After Lu Yuanfeng was transferred away, the impact on Qinghefang was not very large. Feng De, who was stationed in the market, still respected this old senior. He valued his disciples and confidants who stayed in the market. He did not try to abolish some of the market regulations set by Lu Yuanfeng before, and there was no conflict between him and Song Qingyu.

Not long after Feng De arrived in Qinghefang, Song Qingming took the initiative to visit him. Although this newly established Xiaoyao Sect cultivator was not as experienced as Lu Yuanfeng, he was also a steady and capable person. After Song Qingming and him communicated for a while, the relationship between the two became much closer. Before leaving, they also exchanged each other's cultivation experience.

After arriving at Xianfenglou, which he had not been to for a long time, Song Qingming looked up at the signboard and found that it seemed to be much newer than before. It was probably because it was smashed during the turmoil in the market last time and has now been replaced with a new one.

Although it was still the same name, Song Qingming felt that it was different from before, and he remembered how he looked when he came here before.

After walking in, he saw that the seat where the old man Li Quan used to sit had been replaced by the bastard Song Xinhu. He and Li Hongyu are now managing this restaurant in a proper manner, and the business is no worse than when Huang Siyuan was there.

Li Quan was lucky enough to survive the battle in Qinghefang a year ago, but he was also injured. It is indeed difficult for an old man to fully recover from the injury. Now he has retired to the second line. He rarely participates in the affairs of the restaurant now, and basically has handed it over to Song Xinhu.

"Hongyu, Uncle Qi is here, don't bother yourself, let them handle it!"

Seeing Song Qingming coming in, Song Xinhu hurried to the kitchen to call out Li Hongyu who was busy. Now that Xianfenglou's business is so good, she is naturally not the only chef.
