Chapter 451 Changes in the Family
In the past ten years, the entire Song family has developed rapidly. Now there are more than 120 monks in the Song family, and the number of mortals in the family has exceeded 100,000. In this regard, His background is not much lower than that of other established foundation-building families.
The increase in monks and mortals in the family will naturally bring a great burden. For this reason, Song Qingming and many elders of the Song family have spent a lot of effort over the years to find more people who can earn spiritual stones for the family. method.
In addition to the income from the original Fangshi shops and several mineral veins, the Song family has also spent a lot of energy learning from other established immortal cultivating families in recent years, investing a lot of spiritual stones to cultivate spiritual veins and open pits Above the new spiritual field.
Nowadays, there are many more immortal cultivating families in Qinghe County than before, and the income of the shops in Qinghefang has also dropped a lot. Sometimes the business is not good due to the turmoil in the surrounding area, and the family needs to use some spiritual energy. stone to subsidize.
Compared with the income from mineral veins, which will come to naught sooner or later, the spiritual veins and spiritual fields cultivated and developed are assets that the family can inherit forever. These are also the greatest guarantee for them to maintain the stability of the family in the future.
In addition to these, the Song family has also undergone great changes in other aspects in recent years.
The Song family now has four foundation-building monks, including Huang Siyuan. In Qinghe County, its apparent strength has vaguely surpassed that of the Huang and Gao families. In recent years, some new Qi refining families have also moved to Near Funiu Mountain, it became a vassal family under the Song family.
These vassal families will also take the initiative to hand over some spiritual objects to Funiu Mountain every year in exchange for the Song family's protection. This aspect can be regarded as providing a large amount of income to the Song family every year.
The rules of the world of immortality are like this. The relationship between the strong and the weak is more about interests. If the Qi Refining family wants to be protected by the Foundation Building family, they must hand over some spiritual objects. in exchange.
In the same way, if a foundation-building family like the Song family wants to survive safely in the Wei Kingdom controlled by the Xiaoyao Sect, it must abide by the rules of the Xiaoyao Sect, no matter what high-level mineral veins are found in your family's territory, or what other sects need. High-level spiritual objects must be reported to Xiaoyao Sect first.
Just like when the Wang family discovered the rare Geng gold vein in Fengtoushan Mountain, neither the Wang family nor the Song family dared to covet such a large sum of wealth. They could only report it to Xiaoyao Sect and wait. The sect sent someone to deal with it.
Although the Xiaoyao Sect later gave the Song family and the Wang family some shares in the mine, compared to the original value of the Gengjin mine, this was only a small profit.
Not only these, Xiaoyao Sect will also occupy most of the interests in almost all cities and towns in Weiguo. Because of controlling these cultivation resources, the major cultivators in Weiguo can only do this for their own survival and development. Continuously provide talents to Xiaoyao Sect.
In addition to Song Xinyu, the Song family has also sent several people with good spiritual roots to join the Xiaoyao Sect in recent years. Song Qingming also wanted to keep them all in the family, but he forced them to stay. The family will not be able to provide everyone with Foundation Building Pills in the future.
Rather than seeing them end up on the road like those family elders, it would be better to send them to the Xiaoyao Sect so that they can have a chance to build a foundation on their own in the future.
And now that the Song family has Song Xinyu, a foundation-building elder in the Xiaoyao Sect, these children will have a relatively stable backer after joining the sect, and their lives will not be too difficult.
In addition, the Song family has also developed a new way to earn spiritual stones in recent years, which is brewing spiritual wine.
After Song Qingming accidentally rescued Fu Sanshan and bought the spirit wine formula from him, the Song family had already begun arranging for monks in the clan to learn wine-making techniques and try to brew the spirit wine themselves.
Fu Sanshan has stayed on Funiu Mountain these years. With the better resources and conditions of the Song family, he has actually improved several spiritual wines with better quality.
Although Fu Sanshan spent a lot of spiritual stone materials researching and brewing spiritual wine in the Song family, the spiritual wine formula he developed quickly brought a long-term business to the Song family after it was put into mass production.
Although there are many Xiuxian families in Qinghe County who have the skills to make wine, the quality of the spirit wine they brew is not high. After Fu Sanshan modified the original formula, the spirit wine brewed now has no problem in terms of taste. The quality should still be better, and the market soon opened in Qinghefang.
Now the Song family has opened a tavern in Qinghefang to sell these home-brewed spiritual wines, and the tavern’s business is very good, and it has been able to create hundreds of spiritual stones for the family every year profit.
Even Song Qingming himself did not expect that a Qi Refining Cultivator he accidentally rescued could now bring such huge benefits to the Song family.
In order to keep Fu Sanshan as a talent, the Song family also spent a lot of effort. Not only did he serve as the guest elder of the Song family, but the annual salary paid to him was also higher than that of other elders. Song Xintong and others The family elders are now planning to arrange a marriage for Fu Sanshan, and plan to let him marry into the Song family directly.
After finishing talking about Song Xinde, Song Qingyu spoke to Song Qingming again: "Over at Qinghefang, news came from Xintang again. The Lu family and the Li family had another conflict half a month ago. The monks from both sides were near the Zhong family in Pingliang Mountain. After a fight, it is said that everyone There are casualties. It seems that this matter is getting bigger and bigger."
"Didn't the Qinghefang meeting make peace with them last year? Why are they fighting again?" Hearing Song Qingyu talk about this matter, Song Qingming also had some helplessness on his face. In the past ten years, in addition to the steady development of the Song family, many other immortal cultivating families and forces in Qinghe County have also undergone many changes.
One of the biggest changes is that less than five years have passed since the Song family and Song Yuanli established the foundation. Someone in Qinghe County has successfully built the foundation, which makes people feel a little bit confused. Surprisingly, this person who built the foundation did not come from the original four major foundation-building families in Qinghe County.
The name of the person who succeeded in building the foundation is Li Chengyue. He is a monk from a vassal family named Li under the Lu family in Tiexian Mountain. Just like the Song family back then, the Li family soon started practicing alchemy after Li Chengyue established the foundation. The Qi family was promoted to become the new Foundation-Building Immortal Clan.
The four major foundation-building families in Qinghe County have now increased to five.
Among the major foundation-building families in Qinghe County, the monks of the Lu family in Tiexian Mountain have always had a poor reputation for their behavior, and they are naturally very mean to their vassal families. When the Li family was a vassal of the Lu family, they were naturally also Those who were suppressed by the Lu family.
After the Li family was promoted to the Jiji family, they did not continue to maintain a good relationship with the Lu family like the Song family had with the Huang family. Instead, the two families soon turned against each other because of some peripheral interests.
Li Chengyue, the newly promoted foundation-building monk of the Li family, like Xu Ziyan, Song Qingming's good friend back then, was also a monk who succeeded in risk-building the foundation without using the foundation-building pill.
For monks like Li Chengyue who have not used the Foundation Establishment Pill to successfully build the foundation, their cultivation and mana will be somewhat stronger than those of ordinary monks of the same level. After the Li family has this foundation-building ancestor, it is like rising to the top. The rising sun generally develops very quickly, and naturally it soon no longer pays attention to the declining Lu family.
In the past few years, the Li family not only took advantage of a mine that belonged to the Lu family, but also poached several vassal families from the Lu family. This completely angered the Lu family, and the two families had already had several conflicts.
Last year, Lu Xingde, the ancestor of the Lu family, had a fight with Li Chengyue outside Qinghefang over this. It was not until several other major foundation-building families came forward to mediate and persuade that the two families finally gave up for the time being.
Not long ago, the Lu and Li families started fighting again. Song Qingming shook his head helplessly when he heard this.
It’s not that Song Qingming wants to get involved in the affairs of their two families, but the constant fighting between these two foundation-building families has made the situation in the entire Qinghe County turbulent, and even the business of Qinghefang has been affected. There are many impacts, and the Song family naturally does not want this situation to continue.
Seeing Song Qingming frown again, Song Qingyu also said helplessly: "The grievances between the Lu family and the Li family have lasted for more than a day or two. Now the two sides have killed and injured many monks in several battles. I think It is indeed not an easy thing for the two families to just give up and make peace
I think Brother Qi, you did your best when you came forward to make peace for them last time. This matter should actually be a headache for Feng De, and we don't have to worry about him all the time. "
Song Qingming sighed, shook his head and said: "We are all monks in Qinghe County, so there is no need to make things like this. Qingyu, please send a letter to Yuan Li and ask him to look for it again. Feng De discussed it and saw if he could invite the Lu and Li families to Qinghefang to sit down and talk.
Now that the monster beast turmoil in Northern Xinjiang is approaching, the situation is getting more and more tense. We still need to make preparations early. You talk to Xintang and ask him to pay more attention to those outside casual cultivators from now on. , to prevent those bandit cultivators from taking advantage of the chaos to sneak into Qinghe County. "
"Brother Qi, don't worry. Xintang has already considered this aspect. He even told me about it in his last letter. With him watching over Qinghefang, there won't be much trouble." error. "
Song Qingming nodded and said: "Yes! It's good that he can think of it. This kid is very careful. We did something right when we transferred him to Qinghefang! ”
Song Qingtang has never been able to come out because of the failure of foundation building. A few years ago, at the suggestion of Song Qingyu and others, Song Qingming transferred him to Qinghefang and took over Song Xinhu's job of collecting intelligence for the family.
After going to Qinghefang, Song Xintang has slowly come out of the shadow of the failure of foundation building because of the change of environment and no need to face too many familiar tribesmen every day.
Song Xintang's ability to do things was always outstanding among the new generation of monks. After he was placed in Qinghefang, Song Xintang took over the responsibility of secretly working for the Song family and collecting intelligence, and he soon became very impressive. got up.
Now that Song Xintang’s subordinates have networked with many peripheral cultivators who secretly work for the Song family, the Song family has finally made great improvements in collecting intelligence compared to other foundation-building families.
