Qinghe Immortal Clan

Chapter 497 Song Yuanxue and Song Changze

After so many years of development, the three generations of cultivators, Gu, Chang, and Qing, who accompanied Song Qingming and Song Qingyu in their growth, have all come to an end. The generation of Qi-refining cultivators in the family has now been handed over to the three generations of cultivators, Xin, Yuan, and Chang.

There are a total of 28 cultivators of the "Xin" generation. Except for Song Xinyu, who has joined the Xiaoyao Sect, no one else has successfully established a foundation. The potential of this generation of cultivators has been exhausted. Except for Song Xinde, a second-level refiner, the others have not performed outstandingly.

Now the older cultivators of the "Xin" generation are over a hundred years old. Excluding those who have died outside, the remaining ones will gradually withdraw from the stage of family history in another 20 to 30 years.

The cultivators of the "Yuan" generation are considered the backbone of the Song family. There are more than 40 people in total. This generation not only has two foundation-building cultivators, Song Yuanli and Song Yuanfang, but also many cultivators with relatively outstanding abilities.

Among them, Song Yuantong, who controls the family law enforcement team, and Song Yuanxue, who manages the family spiritual field, performed the best. They have now been successfully promoted to family elders and participated in the core power of the Song family.

Before the banquet began, Song Qingming also specially commended the best performers of the Song family during the monster turmoil. Among them, the one who received the best reward was Song Yuantong of the "Yuan" generation.

Song Yuantong not only has outstanding cultivation, but also has rich experience in fighting enemies on the battlefield. In this monster turmoil, he alone killed more than a dozen monsters. He is the best performer among all the Qi-refining cultivators in the Song family and acts very decisively. Since he took over the family law enforcement team, the number of monster hunting teams organized by the Song family has also increased, and many new generation young cultivators have been given the opportunity to exercise.

However, Song Yuantong's spiritual root talent is not high. He is only a four-spiritual root cultivator. His cultivation speed is not as fast as Song Yuanli and Song Yuanfang. He did not cultivate to the ninth level of Qi refining until he was almost seventy years old. His hope of building a foundation is now not as good as that of other young generations.

Another family elder, Song Yuanxue, ranks relatively low among the "Yuan" generation and is slightly younger than Song Yuanli. Although she is a cultivator with three spiritual roots, her cultivation talent is average and she has just been promoted to the ninth level of Qi Refining not long ago.

Although Song Yuanxue's cultivation speed is not very fast and she is not good at fighting with others, she is very talented in spiritual plants. A few years ago, she had already promoted this immortal cultivation skill to the second level and became the only second-level spiritual plant master in the Song family.

Because of the rules set by Song Qingming, the ancestor of the family, the Song family has always attached great importance to those clan members who can master an immortal cultivation skill. For this reason, Song Yuanxue has now been promoted to a family elder like her elder Song Xinde, and has become a role model for other cultivators in the family to learn from.

The new generation of "Chang" generation cultivators in the Song family are not very old at present and have just emerged in the family. However, there are also several younger generations with better cultivation talents, whose cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi Refining. Among them, Song Changze, who ranks ninth, has the best cultivation talent.

Song Changze is a younger cultivator of the lineage of his fourth uncle Song Changqiu. With the three spiritual roots, he has already cultivated to the eighth level of Qi Refining at the age of 31. He is currently the fastest cultivator among the "Chang" generation, slightly inferior to Song Yuanli, who had two spiritual roots. He is also a younger generation that Song Qingming is very optimistic about building a foundation.

When his fourth uncle Song Changqiu was managing the family store in Qinghefang, he still took some care of Song Qingming. Song Qingming was very happy that his younger generation had a cultivator with such a good cultivation talent like Song Changze.

After the monster turmoil ended and he returned to Qinghe County, Song Qingming, who was determined to support Song Changze in building a foundation in the future, brought him from Funiushan to Qinghefang and kept him by his side to train him personally. Song Changze, who was so valued by the family ancestor, has also made many clansmen in Funiushan envious in recent years.

In addition to the members of the Song family, the Song family has also recruited many independent cultivators with good character and ability to become guest cultivators of the family. At the beginning, these family guests only helped to run the family business outside the family. After a long time, many of them married into the Song family and became part of the Song family.

Fu Sanshan, who Song Qingming picked up from the foot of the mountain, was also loved by many elders of the Song family because of his outstanding skills in brewing spirit wine. Under the arrangement of the elders of the Song family, he also married a female cultivator of the Yuan generation and stayed in the Song family completely.

In these years in Funiushan, Fu Sanshan also helped the Song family to train several winemakers. The Song family's spirit wine business is now not only sold in Qinghefang. People from several markets around Jiangling County come to Funiushan to order spirit wine every year. The new spirit wine shop opened by the Song family in Jinshanfang is about to open.

A few days after the family banquet, news finally came from Guyang Mountain that Xiaoyao Sect had started refining foundation-building pills. Soon, Song Qingming also received a secret letter from Xiaoyao Sect's Good Deeds Pavilion, informing them to go to the sect to receive a foundation-building pill.

After receiving this foundation-building pill, Song Qingming summoned several foundation-building elders of the family to his cave to discuss the next person the family would support in building the foundation.

Although the Song family now has many elders in charge of various affairs, and they can usually go to the family meeting hall to participate in family affairs, now only the elders above the foundation building stage are qualified to participate in major events such as deciding the ownership of the foundation building pill, and the final decision is usually made by the clan leader Song Qingming.

After a hundred years of development, the Song family has not only increased the number of cultivators by hundreds, but also has better spiritual veins and more cultivation resources. The overall cultivation speed of the cultivators in the Song family is also much faster than before. Many clan members with four spiritual roots can now cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining before the age of sixty.

In addition to Song Changze, who Song Qingming is most optimistic about, there are many younger generations in the Song family who are suitable for foundation building. There are several people in the Yuan generation who can cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining before the age of sixty. In addition to Song Changze, there are also two people in the Chang generation who have the hope of building a foundation.

"The people in the family who are suitable for foundation building, Yuan Fang has already listed them and everyone has seen them. There is only one foundation building pill now. It is impossible for all so many people to have the opportunity to build a foundation. You can first tell me who is more suitable to support first."

After seeing Song Yuanli, who is responsible for managing the family's affairs, listed seven or eight names, Song Qingming also frowned slightly. Whenever he needed to decide the fate of these younger generations of the family, Song Qingming always felt that it was difficult to choose.

With the rapid growth of the number of family cultivators now, there will be more and more people in the Song family who are suitable for foundation building in the future. Even if Song Qingming is willing, he can't provide foundation building pills for every cultivator in the family who is suitable for foundation building. There will definitely not be too many people who are lucky enough to be selected by the family to support foundation building. There will always be a majority of family members who have to make sacrifices.

However, fortunately, since the Song family was promoted to a Jindan family, the family now has Song Qingming, the Jindan ancestor, and it is not as difficult to obtain foundation building pills as before. Even if some family members are not selected this time, they will have better luck and wait until the family gets the foundation building pill again, and they will still have the opportunity to strive for foundation building next time.

Now, all the immortal cultivation families in the territories of Pingyang and Qinghe counties have been assigned to Funiushan. The tributes submitted by so many immortal cultivation families every year have increased the financial income of the entire Song family several times in recent years. In the future, it will not be as difficult for the Song family to exchange and purchase foundation-building pills from Xiaoyao Sect as before.

After Song Qingming finished speaking, the four foundation building elders present looked at the list in their hands, and after looking at each other for a moment, Song Qingyu took the lead and said with a smile:

"Except for Changze and Yuanxue, the chances of others successfully building a foundation are not very high. Yuanxue is already quite old. If she misses this opportunity, it may delay her path. I am more inclined to support Yuanxue in building a foundation."

"I also agree with my aunt's opinion. Changze's current cultivation is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. It will probably take another four or five years for him to be ready to build a foundation. By the time he builds a foundation, it should not be that difficult to exchange for foundation building pills at the Good Merit Pavilion of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Yuanxue is a three-spiritual root cultivator and the only second-level spiritual planter in the family. She has made a lot of contributions to the management of the family's spiritual medicine garden and spiritual fields over the years. As long as she can successfully build a foundation, Yuanxue will definitely be of great help to the family's future development. The family should give her a chance." After hearing that Song Qingyu was more inclined to Song Yuanxue, Song Yuanfang also echoed.

Song Yuanli and Huang Siyuan rarely expressed their opinions in family meetings. At this moment, they did not speak directly, but turned their eyes to Song Qingming, who needed to make the final decision.

Seeing that neither of them wanted to express their opinions, Song Qingming nodded slightly with a calm face and said: "Since everyone thinks Yuan Xue is more suitable for foundation building, then support Yuan Xue first. The technique she practices is also the Breaking Waves Technique. Qingyu, you take the trouble to guide her. Yuan Xue's confidence in foundation building should not be low."

Hearing that Song Qingming made a decision so quickly, several people in the meeting room showed a little surprise on their faces. However, every time they discussed, they usually just gave their opinions. They never opposed the decisions made by Song Qingming, the clan leader, and nodded in response.

After the meeting, just as everyone was about to return to their respective caves, Song Qingyu stopped Song Qingming on the way and asked with a smile: "Seventh Brother, you have always been optimistic about Changze, why didn't you say a word to help him just now? It's not because you don't want to offend us!"

"I am willing to support Changze in building his foundation, but I have let him stay with me all these years. I always feel that I have too high expectations for him, which has put a lot of pressure on this child. I am afraid that this foundation-building pill will not help him achieve enlightenment, so we should not be too anxious." Seeing that Song Qingyu was a little puzzled, Song Qingming explained calmly.
