Chapter 635: Song Chen Xuanfeng, Meddling in Other People's Business

~22 min read 4,258 words

Time flew by, and soon another three years passed.

On this day, in Mujiao Town under Mount Funiu Mountain.

Because the biennial Song family Spirit Measurement Assembly had arrived again, early in the morning, on a huge square hundreds of zhang wide on the east side of the town, dozens of mortals who had rushed from all over the Song family had already gathered, and many people were still anxiously rushing here on the road.

Among these people were both adults and children, standing in the square, lively and chatting with each other, each with a trace of joy on their faces, and from time to time their eyes gathered on the stone platform in the middle of the square.

By the time the sun was high in the sky, when nearly a hundred people had gathered in the square, a team of mortal innate martial artists walked over from not far away, surrounding the stone platform, not letting the mortal onlookers get too close.

Immediately after, several Qi Mount Mount Lianhua cultivators with an immortal aura walked onto the stone platform. One of them said a lot of auspicious scene words to the many Song family mortals who had brought their children to measure spirits below, and then announced that the Spirit Measurement Assembly in Mujiao Town this year had officially begun.

The number of mortals in Mujiao Town now had reached nearly 100,000. Every Spirit Measurement Assembly could gather hundreds of children of the right age. In order to speed up the spirit measurement and not make any mistakes, the family also arranged for three cultivators to be responsible for the Spirit Measurement Assembly at once.

An eight or nine-year-old boy standing at a place under the stage, watching his peers walk onto the stage one by one and then leave with disappointment, asked his mother standing beside him with some fear:

"Mother! Why are so many people not working? Then can't I cultivate immortality either?"

The woman beside the boy lowered her head and stroked her child's forehead, smiling and encouraging him: "Feng'er, don't be afraid. You are the descendant of our Song family ancestor. Mother believes that you are different from them and will definitely be able to become an immortal in the future."

"Hmm! I will definitely be able to become an immortal too." Hearing his mother's encouragement, the boy who clenched his fists tightly also slightly regained a trace of courage when he came.

Watching her child look as if he were determined to become an immortal, the woman let out a soft sigh in her heart.

The probability of mortals being able to measure spiritual roots is only about one in a thousand. Mujiao Town can gather hundreds or nearly a thousand children every time they measure spirits, but at most one person can be measured to ascend to immortality each time, and most of the time no one can be measured to have spiritual roots.

Although she also knew in her heart that the probability of her child being measured to have spiritual roots and becoming an immortal was very low, as a mother, she was still unwilling to hit her child at this time, so she could only take her own ancestor out to encourage him first.

Just when the woman was still thinking about how to appease her child after getting the spirit measurement result, a martial artist who was helping to organize the Spirit Measurement Assembly above the high platform suddenly shouted a name loudly.

"Song Song Yunfeng, come up to measure spirits."

Hearing this name, the woman hurriedly raised a bamboo piece with her child's name written on it in her hand and walked quickly toward the stage with her child.

"Feng'er, don't be afraid, just listen to the immortal!"

The woman carefully exhorted the boy in front of her before she felt relieved to hand him over to an immortal on the side and retreated to the side to watch them nervously.

Not long after, when the boy put his hand on the spirit measurement disk according to the immortal's instructions, several spiritual lights suddenly flew out from it, causing a burst of exclamation in the square.

"Another immortal has appeared!"

"Finally someone has been measured to have spiritual roots!"

The boy, who was still a bit ignorant, looked at the immortal who was staring at him with doubt after hearing the cheers around him.

"Not bad! It should be a good seedling with three spiritual roots. You can follow us up the mountain to practice from now on. Go call your mother over quickly!"

Hearing the immortal say that he had spiritual roots and could cultivate immortality, the boy hurriedly rushed toward his mother with joy and told her the good news.

Hearing the news that her child had been measured to have spiritual roots and could cultivate immortality, the woman was also a bit unbelievable for a time, thinking she had heard it wrong, until the immortal who had just measured spirits for Song Song Yunfeng brought a town guard over, she reacted and hurriedly thanked him.

The middle-aged man who had always been called an immortal master by everyone walked to the side of their mother and son, and then asked the town guard on the side: "You just said that this child is the descendant of the ancestor, is it true?"

The town guard heard this and immediately replied: "Immortal Master, I have been managing the west side of Mujiao Town for more than ten years. I basically know all the descendants of the ancestor's lineage. This Song Song Yunfeng is indeed one of them."

"Hmm! I will report this to the elders in the clan as soon as possible. You go back and prepare first. I will come to pick him up the mountain in two days."

In the old Song family house on the west side of Mujiao Town, an old man who was already walking with difficulty, leading dozens of people standing behind him, bowed to several portraits hanging on the wall, and then kowtowed a few times on the ground with joy.

"Ancestor bless, after more than a hundred years, someone who has ascended to immortality has finally appeared in our lineage again."

The reason why the old man appeared in the old Song family house was because he was the direct descendant of Song Song Qingming's fourth younger brother. These people could also be considered the closest people to this Song family ancestor among the mortal bloodlines under the mountain.

Since the family produced this immortal ancestor Song Song Qingming, for more than a hundred years, the descendants passed down from the lineage of Song Song Qingming's fourth younger brother had participated in the Spirit Measurement Assembly at least nearly a hundred times, but without exception, none of them were measured by the family to have spiritual roots.

This time, the family finally produced a child with spiritual roots who could ascend to immortality. These Song family descendants who were worshiping the immortal in the backyard of the Song family were also excited.

For more than a hundred years, although the ancestor on the mountain had not returned home much, because of him, the Song family descendants had always been taken care of by the immortal master in the town for so many years. Although they could not be said to be very glorious, at least they were carefree.

Now that there was another younger generation immortal with a closer relationship in the family, their status in the Song family would definitely be improved in the future, how could these elders not be excited.

Among the crowd, the only one who still had a trace of worry on her face was Song Song Yunfeng's mother standing at the very back.

Her child had succeeded in ascending to immortality and became an immortal. Logically speaking, she, as a mother, should be the happiest one, but once she thought that her child would be far away from her from now on, and they would be separated by the immortal and mortal, a trace of reluctance could not help but appear on her face at this moment.

"Feng'er, you must listen to the ancestor and elders when you get up the mountain, take good care of yourself, and remember to come back to see us when you have time..."

Facing his mother's constant exhortations, for Song Song Yunfeng, who was only eight or nine years old, what he could understand was very limited, so he could only nod repeatedly in a wooden way.

Two days later, Song Song Yunfeng was successfully picked up by two immortals from Mount Funiu Mountain to the Song family council hall on the spiritual mountain.

Song Song Yuanfang, who was busy, saw the child brought to him, confirmed with the Song family cultivator who brought him, and then personally took Song Song Yunfeng to the outside of the cave dwelling where Song Song Qingming was in seclusion on the top of the mountain.

Song Song Yunfeng watched the immortal uncle beside him take out a spirit talisman and cast a spell as if performing magic. After the spirit talisman automatically flew into the cave dwelling in front of him, the tightly closed door of this cave dwelling slowly opened after a long while.

Seeing this, Song Song Yuanfang hurriedly took him and walked in quickly.

Song Song Qingming, who was drinking tea and chatting with Huang Huang Siyuan in the cave dwelling, saw Song Song Yuanfang and the two walk in, and his eyes immediately noticed Song Chen Xuanfeng, who was still a bit timid and at a loss, standing not far behind him.

Under Song Song Yuanfang's reminder, Song Chen Xuanfeng knew that the green-clothed man in front of him was the ancestor on the mountain of the Song family that the elders in the family had mentioned to him countless times, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed.

"Meet the ancestor!"

"Hehe! This child really looks a bit like your big nephew back then. It's definitely his descendant, no mistake." Before Song Song Qingming could speak, Huang Huang Siyuan walked over quickly and said with a smile.

Before Song mother passed away, Huang Huang Siyuan had also been to the Song family, and naturally still had some impressions of Song Song Qingming's several close family members. As soon as she saw Song Chen Xuanfeng, she immediately remembered.

Song Song Qingming heard this and smiled at the corner of his mouth, turned around and asked Song Song Yuanfang on the side: "What is his name?"

"The name under the mountain is Song Song Yunfeng. He just came up the mountain today, and I haven't had time to help him change his name and record it in the genealogy. Since he is the descendant of the Seventh Great-Uncle, I think you should take one for him!" Song Song Yuanfang answered with a smile.

Song Song Qingming nodded slightly: "Since it is in the Xuan generation, then change it directly to Chen Xuanfeng. Since you just came up the mountain today, I won't give you anything. After you introduce Qi into your body and your cultivation reaches the Qi Mount Mount Lianhua stage in the future, I will see what spiritual items to reward you with!"

"Hehe! Since your ancestor is stingy and reluctant to give, then I will bestow some spiritual items on you. These elixirs are what I usually refine. You should be able to use them immediately. Take them first!"

After Huang Huang Siyuan finished speaking, the spiritual light in her hand moved, and she took out two small white porcelain bottles, stepped forward and smiled and put them into Song Chen Xuanfeng's hands.

Looking at the two porcelain bottles in his hands, Song Chen Xuanfeng was also at a loss, and nervously cast his eyes on the family ancestor Song Song Qingming on the side.

"Since it is given to you, just take it. Although you are the descendant of my fourth younger brother, there is no difference among all the family cultivators on the mountain. If you want to get more support from the family, you still need to practice hard yourself."

Song Chen Xuanfeng nodded slightly after hearing this, and then put the elixirs in his hands into his arms with peace of mind.

After Song Chen Xuanfeng got up, Song Song Yuanfang arched his hands and asked Song Song Qingming on the side:

"Seventh Great-Uncle, there is one more thing to tell you. Song Yuanqian sent news a few days ago that Song Xuanting has gathered the merits needed to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Look, should this Foundation Establishment Pill be given to him first."

"Since the merits have been gathered, and you family elders also feel that there is no problem, then this Foundation Establishment Pill should be given to him. As for Song Xuanting's Foundation Establishment in the future, you can arrange it directly, no need to ask me again.

However, regarding the issue of choosing candidates for Foundation Establishment in the future, I want to add a proposal, that is, besides the cultivators of this clan, those who marry or enter the family as a son-in-law, you should also treat them equally. As long as the conditions are suitable and approved by the Elder Council, they can all come to me to apply for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

In the future, including the family peripheral cultivators in Chiyan Square, as long as they are absolutely loyal and have made great contributions to the family, they can all be included in the assessment scope of supporting Foundation Establishment."

Hearing that Song Song Qingming wanted to directly relax the family's original policy of choosing Foundation Establishment cultivators and support the family's foreign-surname cultivators to establish foundations, a trace of surprise appeared on Song Song Yuanfang's face, and he asked excitedly:

"You mean that cultivators who are not from our family in the future will also be included in the scope of supporting Foundation Establishment?"

"That's right! That's what I mean. Leqing has been practicing to the ninth level of Qi Mount Mount Lianhua for a while now. I think we should start from her.

Tomorrow you notify all the family elders to come to the council hall to discuss this matter, and I will go there together then. As long as everyone has no opinion, you arrange for Leqing to prepare, and let her close-door Foundation Establishment with Song Xuanting as soon as possible."

Song Song Yuanfang hesitated slightly: "Seventh Great-Uncle, I know you are thinking for me and Leqing, but I am holding the position of family manager after all. Being so partial to my Daoist partner will probably cause gossip in the future and affect the hearts of the cultivators in the clan."

"This matter is my intention. Who told you to be partial? Didn't I just say that it is to expand the candidates for Foundation Establishment from now on? All foreign-surname cultivators in the clan will have the opportunity to be supported for Foundation Establishment in the future.

As long as the Elder Council passes it, whoever dares to gossip behind their backs for no reason will be dealt with according to the clan rules and sent directly to Yinfeng Ridge!" After Song Song Qingming finished speaking, he waved his hand again, stopping what Song Song Yuanfang wanted to say later.

Song Song Yuanfang's Daoist partner, Huang Leqing, was actually also a three-spiritual-root cultivator with good aptitude, but the Song family had been supporting the original family cultivators with the Song surname all these years and had not considered supporting foreign-surname cultivators like her.

Therefore, every time the family discussed candidates for Foundation Establishment, even if Huang Leqing's cultivation had reached the requirements for Foundation Establishment, she was automatically excluded.

A few years ago, after Huang Leqing broke through to the ninth level of Qi Mount Mount Lianhua, Song Song Yuanfang also had the intention to support his Daoist partner to establish a foundation, and had been secretly raising spirit stones and inquiring about the Foundation Establishment Pill for the past few years.

Song Song Yuanfang's intention to support Huang Leqing to establish a foundation naturally could not be hidden from Song Song Qingming, the head of the family.

After knowing this, Song Song Qingming, Song Song Qingyu, and Huang Huang Siyuan discussed it and decided to help Huang Leqing establish a foundation, and also took this opportunity to modify the family's system for exchanging Foundation Establishment Pills.

For foreign-surname cultivators like Huang Leqing who have married into the Song family for decades and have also made certain contributions to the family, the family cannot always treat them as outsiders and should treat these people equally.

Supporting Huang Leqing to establish a foundation can not only show the Song family's generous attitude toward others, but also allow other foreign-surname cultivators in the family to see a glimmer of hope for their path in the future and be willing to make more contributions to the family.

Seeing that Song Song Qingming's words had already shown an unquestionable attitude, Song Song Yuanfang also immediately felt a burst of emotion, nodded heavily and agreed to the matter, before taking Song Chen Xuanfeng to leave Song Song Qingming's cave dwelling.

After the two left the cave dwelling, looking at Song Song Qingming whose smile had not yet dissipated, Huang Huang Siyuan said softly: "This child is still a three-spiritual-root. With your support, there will definitely be no big problem with Foundation Establishment in the future."

Song Song Qingming nodded slightly: "Our elders' help is limited after all. How far the path can go still depends on his personal fortune.

However, after more than a hundred years, the fourth younger brother's lineage can be considered to have produced a cultivator. If Father and the others know about it in the underworld, they will definitely be very happy."

Huang Huang Siyuan nodded slightly: "It's rare to be so happy today, let's go out for a walk together!"

After walking down the mountain top and taking Song Chen Xuanfeng to the family school, Song Song Yuanfang immediately returned home and told his Daoist partner Huang Leqing the good news.

"Husband, you didn't make a mistake! Why would the ancestor suddenly support me to establish a foundation? We have almost enough spirit stones to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill after saving for a few more years. Why do you need to rush to ask the ancestor for me?"

Hearing what Song Song Yuanfang said with joy, Huang Leqing's face also showed a trace of disbelief, thinking that Song Song Yuanfang had acted without authorization behind her back and asked Song Song Qingming, the family ancestor.

Song Song Yuanfang heard this and waved his hand with a smile: "Leqing, you really misunderstood me this time. It wasn't me who took the initiative to say it. This is the intention of the few ancestors themselves, and from now on, not only you, but other foreign-surname cultivators in the family will also have the opportunity to be supported for Foundation Establishment."

"This! The ancestor is really thoughtful." Seeing that she had misunderstood, Huang Leqing also felt a burst of emotion in her heart. She also didn't expect that the few family ancestors on the mountain top would care about the path of a cultivator who married into the family.

"Leqing, you prepare well for the Foundation Establishment. Don't think about other things for now. Besides you, Song Xuanting is also preparing for Foundation Establishment this time. You, as an elder, don't fall behind him!"

Huang Leqing smiled and replied: "Don't worry! I have been prepared for Foundation Establishment for many years, and I will definitely not let you and the ancestors down! In this life, I only wish to succeed in Foundation Establishment and accompany you for another hundred years. I don't expect things like forming a core."

"Hehe! In this life, besides family affairs, I only have this wish left. Whether it's a hundred years or two hundred years, I only wish to accompany you to the end, and I will be satisfied."

——

On the top of Mount Funiu Mountain, Song Song Qingming and Huang Huang Siyuan walked and walked, and came to the grave of Song mother under the mountain. Seeing many brand-new offerings placed around these ancestral graves of the Song family, Song Song Qingming also knew that the descendants under the mountain must have come to worship in the past few days.

Taking out a pot of spirit wine from his body, he poured a few cups for several deceased relatives, and then softly shared the joy he had just obtained with them.

This time, Song Song Qingming was also rarely so happy, and kept chattering in front of his mother's grave for half an hour before returning to the top of Mount Funiu Mountain with Huang Huang Siyuan.

As soon as the two came back, a blue sword light flew in front of them, precisely the family ancestor Song Song Qingyu who had just returned from Mount Tuoyun Mountain.

In the past few years, Song Song Qingming, Song Song Qingyu, and Huang Huang Siyuan had been in seclusion for cultivation, and each had gained not small harvests.

Through three years of closed-door cultivation, Huang Huang Siyuan had finally cultivated the "Hidden Origin Technique" to the perfect state again. Now her cultivation state had been adjusted to the best state, and she could impact the Jin Dan realm again at any time.

After Song Song Qingyu refined that Tier 3 low-grade "Gilded Spirit Fruit," the magic power in her body also grew by a large margin, and now her cultivation was about to be cultivated to the peak of the first level of Jin Dan.

Song Song Qingming, who also refined a "Gilded Spirit Fruit," also improved his cultivation a lot, but there was still a distance from the perfection of the fourth level of Jin Dan.

As for the "Red Dragon Pill" on his body, Song Song Qingming did not choose to take and refine it now, intending to wait until the magic power in his body was more perfect in the future before using this pill to break through the cultivation realm directly.

"Seventh Brother! I just came back and heard Song Yuanqian and the others say that there is another younger generation in your family who has ascended to immortality. This is a great joy. How do you plan to celebrate this matter!" As soon as he saw Song Song Qingming and the two, Song Song Qingyu hurriedly asked with a happy face.

"It is naturally a joy for someone in the clan to ascend to immortality, but I didn't call you back for this matter. The family council tomorrow needs to decide on two candidates for Foundation Establishment. You, as a family ancestor, must definitely come back to participate if you have time.

In a few days, Huang Siyuan and I are going to the East Sea. You have to care more about the affairs in the clan, don't be negligent."

"Hmm! I know all these things. Seventh Brother, you don't plan to reward me, then Sister-in-law, you shouldn't be so stingy, right!" Seeing that Song Song Qingming was preparing to tell her about family affairs again, Song Song Qingyu hurriedly pulled Huang Huang Siyuan on the side and looked at her with expectation.

Seeing this! Huang Huang Siyuan also smiled helplessly: "It's not easy for you to come back once, so it's natural to reward you, then you go back with me first!"

Seeing the figures of the two women leaving, Song Song Qingming could only smile and shake his head, and walked back to his cave dwelling alone.

After Song Song Qingyu followed Huang Huang Siyuan to her cave dwelling, not long after, Huang Huang Siyuan brought two fragrant spirit foods to her.

"Sister-in-law! Your craftsmanship is still better. For the same things, the taste made by the younger generation in the Immortal Phoenix Building is a bit worse." After tasting the delicious spirit food on the table, Song Song Qingyu couldn't help but praise the other party with satisfaction.

Huang Huang Siyuan heard this and replied with a happy face: "The skill of a spirit chef still needs time to be polished slowly. This cannot blame these young people. It is mainly because your mouth is now as picky as your brother's, which is also difficult to serve."

"Hehe! Anyway, it's all raised by you, you will be responsible for it in the future."

"Now that Seventh Brother has descendants in the family who have ascended to immortality, Sister-in-law! When do you two plan to have a child of your own!"

Hearing Song Song Qingyu ask this suddenly, Huang Huang Siyuan's face was suddenly embarrassed, and she glared at Song Song Qingyu with a shy face: "You girl is really meddling in other people's business now. It seems that I shouldn't have been so kind to help you out just now, and made spirit food for you."

"Sister-in-law! Why are you angry for no reason? It's very normal for you and Seventh Brother to have a child after being married for so many years. I kindly reminded you, how did it become meddling in other people's business."

After Song Song Qingyu finished speaking, a trace of grievance appeared on her face. (End of Chapter) ===== CHAPTER 650 =====
