Chapter 498: The Scenery is Unique

Song Song Qingming has kept Song Song Changze by his side for the past few years, which is obvious to everyone in the entire Song family. When the family obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill this time, Song Song Qingyu also guessed that Song Song Qingming might directly support Song Song Changze to establish Foundation this time.

The reason why Song Song Qingyu proposed to support Song Song Yuanxue when holding the council was purely out of consideration for the family as a whole. Song Song Yuanxue is one of the few people in the Song family who can master a cultivation skill to the second tier during the Qi Condensation stage. Compared with other cultivators who have cultivated to the ninth layer of Qi Condensation, supporting Song Song Yuanxue to establish Foundation is definitely the most beneficial to the family at present.

Although the Song family's spirit fields and spirit medicine gardens also grow some second-tier spirit medicines, because they have always been troubled by the lack of second-tier or higher spirit planters, the cost of cultivating these high-tier spirit medicines is far higher than other Foundation Establishment families with deeper foundations in spirit planting. Therefore, even in the spirit medicine shops of the Song family in Qinghe Market, the business is much worse than the Huang and Gao families.

The cultivation skill of spirit planter is the most common and most important skill in the cultivation world. It is very simple for low-tier spirit planters to get started. Even first-tier top-grade spirit planters, the Song family can pull out more than a dozen people at will now. However, second-tier or higher spirit planters are rare, and there are only four or five in the entire Qinghe County combined.

Like the Mount Tiexian Fortress Ma family, which can cultivate so many Foundation Establishment cultivators, it is precisely because the Ma family can cultivate many high-tier spirit medicines themselves. As long as they collect a furnace of spirit medicines for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, they can invite third-tier alchemists like Chen Chen Jinliang to help refine Foundation Establishment Pills, continuously cultivating new Foundation Establishment cultivators for the family.

Although second-tier low-grade spirit planters cannot cultivate many high-tier spirit medicines yet, as long as Song Song Yuanxue can successfully establish Foundation, her spirit planting skills will still have the opportunity to be improved. In the future, she may also be able to cultivate high-tier spirit medicines that can refine Foundation Establishment Pills for the Song family.

Since Song Song Yuanxue successfully became a second-tier spirit planter, the Song family's situation in cultivating spirit medicines has clearly begun to improve in these few years. With the family's own second-tier or higher spirit planter inheritance skills, the Song family can now step up to a new level in cultivating spirit medicines or spirit fields, which is also a great improvement for the entire family.

For a cultivator like Song Song Yuanxue who has made great contributions to the family, facing the important juncture of Foundation Establishment that concerns her own Dao path and destiny, it would be a bit unreasonable if no elder stood up to speak for her. Song Song Qingyu and Song Song Yuanfang also held this thought to speak for Song Song Yuanxue at that time.

However, the person who can make the final decision on this matter of Foundation Establishment Pills in the Song family is still Song Song Qingming, the Core Formation elder. If Song Song Qingming does not agree to support Song Song Yuanxue to establish Foundation, these Foundation Establishment elders would naturally not oppose it.

It's just that in this situation, having a Foundation Establishment elder in the family who can stand up for oneself can make Song Song Yuanxue feel a little better even if she fails to get the Foundation Establishment Pill in the end.

Hearing Song Song Qingming's explanation, Song Song Qingyu nodded blankly and smiled: "Song Changze is still young now. Why not let him go to the law enforcement team to follow Song Yuantong and others to temper his state of mind and lay a good foundation for Foundation Establishment in the future."

Going to the Xiaoyao Sect this time, Song Song Qingming not only brought back a Foundation Establishment Pill from the Merit Pavilion, but also retrieved the "White Dew Pill" he had previously cooperated with Chu Chu Fengping to refine.

After bidding farewell to Song Song Qingyu, Song Song Qingming returned to the cave, closed the cave door not long after, and directly opened the restrictions at the door.

After carefully adjusting his state, Song Song Qingming took out a "White Dew Pill" and put it directly into his mouth. As he drove the Five Elements Xuan Gang technique in his body, a five-colored spiritual light slowly lit up from the top of Song Song Qingming's head, wrapping around his body, making the entire cave bright at once.

Since cultivating to the Core Formation realm, this was the first time Song Song Qingming had taken such a high-quality spirit pill, and he was full of expectations for the effect after refining the "White Dew Pill."

——

A few days later, in the spirit medicine garden on the back mountain of the Song family, Song Song Yuanxue, dressed in white, carefully transplanted a second-tier spirit fruit tree she had just purchased from the market into the spirit medicine garden with the assistance of several spirit planters.

"Your idea is good. I am going to start retreating tomorrow. It will trouble you to tell Song Yuanxue and Song Changze about this. These two children are both cultivators with relatively good talent among the family juniors. If we elders can support them, we will naturally try our best to support them, but whether they can achieve the Dao depends on themselves in the end." After Song Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out a small jade box from his body and handed it to Song Song Qingyu.

After taking out a small jade box from his body, Song Song Qingming opened it and couldn't help but show a smile when he saw the two flawless white pills in the jade box.

"Seventh Brother, rest assured and retreat. With me and Song Yuanfang here, there will definitely not be any major chaos in the family!"

However, although the third-tier mid-grade "White Dew Pill" has a good effect on assisting cultivation, each Core Formation cultivator can take at most one. Forcibly refining the second one will have a greatly reduced effect, and it will also leave a lot of pill poison in the body, affecting the cultivator's refining of other pills in the future.

The "White Dew Pill" that Song Song Qingming and Chu Chu Fengping cooperated to refine was quite lucky, with a total of three pills produced. Besides giving one to Chu Chu Fengping, Song Song Qingming also got two. Compared with the value of the White Lion Demon King's demon core, Song Song Qingming, who obtained these two "White Dew Pills," still earned a little bit.

The Song family spirit medicine garden, a hundred years ago when it was still a Qi Condensation family, because the family was too weak at that time, did not dare to cultivate high-tier spirit medicines. What was planted inside were all low-tier medicinal materials.

Later, Song Song Qingming successfully established Foundation, and the Song family was promoted to a Foundation Establishment family. The spirit medicine garden began to cultivate some second-tier medicinal materials. However, because the family had never had a second-tier spirit planter, the maturity time of these high-tier medicinal materials was too long, and some had not matured until now. The benefits obtained were really too low, so most of what was cultivated in the spirit medicine garden were still first-tier spirit medicines.

It was not until these few years that Song Song Yuanxue successfully cultivated several second-tier spirit medicines in the spirit medicine garden and was promoted to a second-tier spirit planter that the Song family spirit medicine garden began to cultivate various spirit items above the second tier in large quantities.

Since Song Song Yuanxue started cultivating, although she was a three-spirit-root cultivator, her cultivation talent was average. She only broke through to the ninth layer of Qi Condensation at the age of fifty. Among the more than ten three-spirit-root cultivators in the family, her cultivation speed was relatively slow.

Because her personality was relatively quiet, Song Song Yuanxue did not like to go out to hunt demon beasts or manage family business like most cultivators in the Song family. On the contrary, what she liked most was to hide quietly in the family spirit medicine garden alone, studying and cultivating various spirit grasses and spirit medicines, and chose to cultivate the cultivation skill of spirit planter early.

Like Song Song Xinde, Song Song Yuanxue was also a very patient person. Even if she failed to cultivate more than a dozen times in a row and wasted a lot of spirit stones, she still relied on her persistence for more than ten years, kept studying the cultivation of second-tier spirit medicines, and finally successfully ushered in the harvest, becoming a second-tier spirit planter.

After checking that there was no problem with the transplanted spirit fruit tree for the time being, Song Song Yuanxue walked out of the spirit medicine garden with peace of mind. However, before she could rest for a while, a little boy of ten or so suddenly ran toward her from not far away.

"Aunt Song Yuanxue, Old Ancestor Song Qingyu just sent a sound transmission asking you to go to the top of the mountain."

Hearing that the family Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor was looking for her, Song Song Yuanxue was also a bit surprised. She hurriedly tidied up her appearance and walked quickly to the outside of Song Song Qingyu's cave on the top of the mountain.

Seeing that the door of Song Song Qingyu's cave was closed, Song Song Yuanxue did not dare to step forward and knock on the door directly. After sending a sound transmission talisman to the cave, she stood honestly in place, waiting for the summons of the family Old Ancestor.

After a long while, the cave door finally opened. However, what surprised Song Song Yuanxue was that the person who walked out was not Song Song Qingyu, but Song Song Changze with a calm expression.

"Song Changze, why are you here too?"

"Aunt Song Yuanxue, the Old Ancestor just called me to talk about some things, and it's already finished. She is still waiting for you inside, so I'll go back first!" After Song Song Changze finished speaking, he bowed to Song Song Yuanxue with a smile and walked away slowly.

After glancing at Song Song Changze's somewhat lonely back, Song Song Yuanxue, who was standing in place, was also full of doubts. After shaking her head in confusion, she walked quickly into Song Song Qingyu's cave.

Half an hour later, Song Song Yuanxue, who had retreated from Song Song Qingyu's cave, came to a giant rock beside the top of the mountain alone, and carefully took out a small jade box from her storage bag.

"Is this really a Foundation Establishment Pill? I'm not dreaming, am I!" Looking at the golden pill in the jade box, Song Song Yuanxue finally slowly believed everything that had just happened, and quickly put the Foundation Establishment Pill in her hand back into the storage bag.

After cultivating for decades, she finally reached the ninth layer of Qi Condensation, but because her talent was average, she never dared to have too much luxury of Foundation Establishment in her heart. Over the years, she had also put her heart and soul into the spirit planting technique, wanting to learn from her elder Song Song Xinde to take a different path and improve her cultivation skills to get the family's recognition.

She did not expect that her persistence finally paid off, not only successfully breaking through the cultivation skill but also fighting for a chance of Foundation Establishment for herself, which made Song Song Yuanxue's heart very excited.

Watching her two elder brothers, Song Song Yuanli and Song Song Yuanfang, successfully establish Foundation one after another, Song Song Yuanxue was naturally very envious in her heart over the years, but she was troubled by her average cultivation talent and was never an outstanding person in the family, so it was difficult to get too much support from the family.

Getting the summons from Song Song Qingyu, the family Old Ancestor, this time, many possibilities flashed through Song Song Yuanxue's mind, but she never thought that she would get the family's support for Foundation Establishment. Thinking of the patient and kind guidance Song Song Qingyu gave her on the preparations for Foundation Establishment in the cave just now, Song Song Yuanxue still felt like she was in a dream.

Taking advantage of the breeze on the top of the mountain to calm her excited mood, Song Song Yuanxue stood on the top of the mountain for the first time and admired the scenery at the foot of the mountain, and after a while, a look of intoxication appeared on her face again.

"The scenery here is really beautiful!"
