Chapter 444

Seeing the second-tier flying sword in his hand, Song Yuanli was overjoyed and knelt on the ground.

"Yuanli thanks the ancestor for the treasure!"

Seeing that Song Qingyu's move seemed to imply that he was somewhat stingy, Song Qingming could only smile and take out a golden jade ring from his storage bag and send it to Song Yuanli's front.

"This item is called the Golden Silk Ring, and it is also a second-tier low-grade magic treasure. This is the only magic treasure on me that is more suitable for you now, so I will give it to you for self-defense first!"

Seeing Song Qingming take out this magic treasure, not only Song Yuanli, but other people in the council hall were also immediately attracted.

Although this Golden Silk Ring and the flying sword Song Qingyu just took out were of the same quality and grade, both being second-tier low-grade magic treasures, the price of defensive magic treasures like the Golden Silk Ring in the market was much higher than ordinary flying swords.

Seeing the two ancestors of the family bestow treasures one after another, other Song family cultivators on the side cast envious gazes at Song Yuanli one after another, stepped forward to congratulate him. The total value of the two magic treasures he obtained today alone had already exceeded one thousand spirit stones.

After everyone quieted down, Song Qingming stood up and announced: "Since Yuanli has already broken through to Foundation Establishment, from today on, he is the family's new Supreme Elder, and his monthly salary will also be distributed according to me and Qingyu. Does everyone have any opinions!"

"Follow the family head's order!"

"Family head, when you and Aunt Qingyu broke through to Foundation Establishment before, you didn't hold a celebration. This time Yuanli's Foundation Establishment, our Song family cannot miss it again."

"That's right, family head. Xintong is right. Firstly, we can celebrate well, and secondly, we can take this opportunity to show the strength of our Song family to other cultivation forces around us, and deter those ignorant small-minded people."

Back when Song Qingming broke through to Foundation Establishment, the Song family was still a weak Qi Condensation family and simply didn't have the financial resources to hold a large celebration for Song Qingming, so they could only celebrate a little bit in the family.

Later, when Song Qingyu broke through to Foundation Establishment, although the Song family's situation was much better, Song Qingming, in order to hide Song Qingyu's Foundation Establishment from the surrounding forces, decided not to hold a celebration for Song Qingyu. At that time, there were still quite a few clansmen who had opinions about this matter.

Now hearing everyone mention holding a Foundation Establishment celebration for Yuanli, Song Qingming pondered slightly for a moment, but still did not spoil the fun of the people present, nodded and agreed, and let Song Qingsi be responsible for presiding over and arranging the celebration.

Now, with the passing of old-school Foundation Establishment cultivators like Gao Jinhe and Huang Shengxin, although the number of Song family cultivators and the overall strength of the family were still not as good as the Huang and Gao families, relying on Song Qingming, who had now replaced Huang Shengxin as the cultivator with the highest cultivation in Qinghe County, the prestige of the Song family was already no worse than the Huang and Gao families. At this time, holding a Foundation Establishment celebration for Song Yuanli naturally had nothing to worry about.

Just as the Song family members in the council hall were discussing the specific matters of the upcoming celebration, a Song family cultivator suddenly rushed into the council hall in a hurry.

"Family head! Great Elder... Great Elder, he seems to be failing!"

Hearing the person call the Great Elder, Song Qingming felt something was wrong in his heart, immediately stood up and said sternly: "Yuantong, what happened to the Great Elder? Tell me quickly!"

Song Yuanli looked at Song Qingming and replied anxiously: "Great Elder fainted again just now. I gave him a Qingling Pill for nearly half an hour, but he still hasn't woken up. Family head, hurry and go see!"

The Great Elder in Song Yuantong's mouth was exactly Song Qingming's eldest brother, Song Qingshi.

Over these years, with the withering of all the Chang-generation cultivators, Song Qingshi was now also the oldest cultivator in the Song family. Because the Song family had encountered several major battles, Song Qingshi had never suffered any injuries, and he was also one of the few long-lived cultivators in the Song family who could live to be over one hundred and twenty years old.

When Song Qingming brought everyone to eldest brother Song Qingsi's cave dwelling, quite a few cultivators who had a good relationship with Song Qingsi had already arrived here.

Seeing the family head and many family elders arrive here, everyone stepped aside and temporarily retreated.

Fourth Brother Song Qingrui, sitting by Song Qingsi's bed, was already in a state of senility and was directing the servants serving Song Qingsi to feed water and medicine to Song Qingsi lying on the bed.

After Song Qingming stepped forward to check, seeing that Song Qingsi's forehead had already revealed a piece of gray-white color, he also knew that Song Qingsi's limit was coming.

"Xintong, go to the Treasure Pavilion and take a Du Yuan Pill."

"Family head, are you talking about the Du Yuan Pill?"

Song Qingming nodded gently and said: "Yes! Hurry up."

Song Xintong took the order and left, and soon returned here with a small wooden box, handing it to Song Qingming's hand. After Song Qingming opened the wooden box, he personally sent the sparkling Du Yuan Pill inside directly into Song Qingsi's mouth.

After taking this pill, the gray-white energy on Song Qingsi's face soon disappeared by more than half, and his complexion gradually improved.

Seeing that the pill had already had an effect, Song Qingming's heart also relaxed. This Du Yuan Pill could help restore the loss of essence and blood in a cultivator's body and was a second-tier pill of great value. One pill in the market cost at least two hundred spirit stones, and there was only this one in the Song family's Treasure Pavilion.

Because of this, just now when Song Qingming called Song Xintong to take the pill, she thought she had heard wrong. Such a precious second-tier pill, Song Qingming used it on Song Qingsi who had little time left, which was indeed somewhat wasteful in everyone's eyes.

After guarding in Song Qingsi's cave dwelling for half a day, he, whose complexion gradually improved, finally opened his eyes and woke up. Song Qingming, fearing that there were too many people in the cave dwelling to disturb him, drove most of them out, leaving only a few old people of the Qing generation.

As soon as he opened his eyes and saw Song Qingming and others by the bed, Song Qingsi squeezed out a smile and said slowly: "Qingming, Qingyu, why do you have time to come to me?"

"Eldest brother, you fainted for half a day just now. It was Qingming who gave you the Du Yuan Pill to save you." Before Song Qingming could answer, Fourth Brother Song Qingrui on the side directly said what happened before.

"Du Yuan Pill? I am a person who has already buried my head in the yellow soil. Why waste such a precious pill on me? Qingming is also very confused!" As soon as Song Qingsi heard that he had just taken the Fu Yuan Pill, he looked at Song Qingming with an incomprehensible face.

Song Qingming smiled and nodded to Song Qingsi: "Eldest brother is right. Look at me, a younger brother who has been steady and managing the family for so many years, and hasn't made any big mistakes. What's wrong with letting me be confused once!"

Hearing Song Qingming's joking reply to him, Song Qingsi could only shake his head helplessly and let Song Qingrui on the side help him sit up. As the medicinal power of the Fu Yuan Pill was slowly absorbed, Song Qingsi's face slowly had a hint of blood color, and his complexion also looked much better.

"Qingming! In my life, being able to have the luck to help you manage the family until now can be considered not living this life in vain. When I go down and see Sixth Uncle, Third Granduncle, Fourth Granduncle, and the others, I can be considered not to have disgraced the mission.

Now Yuanli has also successfully broken through to Foundation Establishment, and the family has another Foundation Establishment cultivator. The family can be considered to have been carried forward in our Qing generation's hands for these hundred years. The only regret in my life is that I couldn't see you reach Core Formation with my own eyes."

Hearing Song Qingsi slowly speak out the words in his heart, Song Qingming's face also slowly returned to calm.

"Eldest brother, you are really overpraising me. The Jin Dan Great Dao, how can it be so easy to walk through? Being able to have so many brothers to help me in this life, I have long been satisfied."

After chatting with Song Qingsi for a while, Song Qingming took everyone away from his cave dwelling and walked slowly on the mountain path outside.

"Fourth Brother, accompany me for a walk in a while!" Seeing Fourth Brother Song Qingrui, who walked alone at the very end after walking out of the cave dwelling, Song Qingming stopped and came to his side.

Fourth Brother Song Qingrui had originally lived with Song Yuanli for many years. After Song Yuanli broke through to Foundation Establishment, in order to have sufficient spiritual energy to cultivate, he soon moved to the top of the mountain, transformed the cave dwelling he had used for closed-door cultivation before, and moved in directly. Song Qingrui, who had completed his mission, had also moved back to his home down the mountain to spend his later years in peace.

Seeing that Song Qingming wanted to see him off, Song Qingrui nodded and agreed, and the two of them soon came down the mountain on flying swords.

"Fourth Brother, take good care of your health. The family is discussing holding Yuanli's Foundation Establishment ceremony. You, this teacher who taught him, must perform well and drink a few more cups!"

Hearing Song Qingming's words of concern, Song Qingrui smiled and sighed: "Qingming, being able to see Yuanli succeed in Foundation Establishment, I, Fourth Brother, can be considered worthy of your trust.

Now Second Sister and Third Brother have already left, and Eldest Brother and I don't have much time left, and we can't see the day you reach Core Formation. If you really succeed in Core Formation in the future and witness the Jin Dan Great Dao, don't forget to tell us at our graves."

Song Qingming just wanted to open his mouth to say something, but saw the look of expectation in Song Qingrui's eyes looking at him.

After being silent for a moment, Song Qingming smiled and nodded: "Fourth Brother, rest assured! I will definitely not forget."

After Song Qingsi took the Du Yuan Pill, although he persisted for more than half a month, he still couldn't wait for the time when Song Yuanli held the Foundation Establishment ceremony and hurriedly passed away in his cave dwelling.

After finishing Song Qingsi's funeral, less than a month later, Song Qingming received the bad news of the passing of another familiar person and went to Qinghe Market alone.

The one who left the world this time was the Song family's only guest elder, Shi Chun.

Shi Chun's age was actually not as old as Song Qingrui's, but he was a rogue cultivator in his early years and still carried quite a few injuries on his body. Not only did he not live to the limit of one hundred and twenty years, but he also left very suddenly without any signs.

Shi Chun, who was already retired at home the day before, was still discussing with his family about expanding the back garden at home. He didn't expect that he would pass away directly at home the next day. By the time Song Qingming knew this news, it was already three days later.
