Chapter 198

~8 min read 1,574 words

A month ago, after Ninth Uncle Song Changxin went to Duanliu Mountain, the affairs of the clan's Treasury Pavilion could only be handed over to Fifth Aunt Song Changling to manage on his behalf. After Shi Chun arrived, Song Qingming soon held a family meeting and invited him to serve as a guest elder of the family, first assisting Song Changling in managing the affairs of the Treasury Pavilion on Funiu Mountain.

Because of the upgrade of the spiritual vein, the spirit stones and more valuable spiritual objects in the family's Treasury Pavilion had long been emptied, and they also owed many Song family cultivators a lot of merit. Now, every spirit stone that had just been collected was basically just passing through the accounts in the Treasury Pavilion and would immediately be exchanged and collected by people using merit. It would take at least a few years for the Treasury Pavilion to slowly recover.

Ninth Uncle Song Changxin was originally a bitter cultivator who loved cultivation and had never paid much attention to the affairs of managing the Treasury Pavilion. In addition, after he left, Fifth Aunt managed this piece on his behalf and was a bit too busy to handle it. The accounts of the Treasury Pavilion had been a bit messy in the past few months, which made Song Qingming, who took over the management of family affairs, very troubled.

Fortunately, after Shi Chun took over this matter, it took him less than a month to organize the accounts that had been a bit messy into good order. Every item of the family's income and expenditure, and the merit exchanged by cultivators, now had records to check.

Song Qingming actually recognized Shi Chun's personal ability very much. When he first met him in the Fuyun Mountain Range back then, Song Qingming had already seen this point, which was also the main reason why he would take the initiative to invite Shi Chun to the Song family.

Relying on Shi Chun's not particularly outstanding cultivation, being able to lead a demon-hunting team to go deep into the dangerous Fuyun Mountain Range all year round fully proved his command and management ability. Just this point was enough to make Song Qingming look at him with admiration.

Shi Chun, who had drifted for half his life, finally had a fixed spiritual vein to practice after coming to the Song family, and didn't have to fight with demon beasts frequently for a little spirit stone needed for cultivation. He was also very grateful to Song Qingming in his heart. As long as it was something Song Qingming ordered, he would basically do his best to handle it, and during this time, he also took the initiative to give Song Qingming many suggestions for better management of the Treasury Pavilion.

For Shi Chun, he knew that his hope of Foundation Establishment in this life was not high. Having a quiet place to shelter from the wind and rain and concentrate on cultivation was enough for him. The current Song family happened to be able to satisfy him, which could be considered each getting what they needed.

Moreover, before he joined, he had also agreed with Song Qingming in advance that if he really lived unhappily in the Song family in the future, as long as he got Song Qingming's consent and handed over the affairs in advance, he could leave the Song family at any time.

Since the battle of Duanliu Mountain, the major Foundation Establishment families in Qinghe County could be considered to have temporarily returned to calm. Qinghe Market had also returned to the lively appearance of a year ago, and the entire Song family slowly stepped into development.

On this day, Song Qingming was discussing the affairs of the Treasury Pavilion with Shi Chun in the family council hall. Song Xinhu, who had joined the family law enforcement team, suddenly ran in anxiously.

"Supreme Elder, it's not good..." As soon as he entered the room and saw Shi Chun was also here, Song Xinhu, who had just opened his mouth, stopped his words and held them back abruptly.

Song Qingming saw this and hurriedly said sternly: "Elder Shi is already a guest elder of the family. As long as it is a family matter, you can speak directly without hindrance."

After listening, Song Xinhu nodded awkwardly and continued: "Reporting to the Supreme Elder, the Patriarch... the Patriarch has come out of seclusion. Thirteenth Uncle asked me to call you to go over and take a look immediately."

"Has he come out of seclusion? When did this happen? How is Sixth Uncle? Is he still in the cave dwelling?" Upon hearing the news of Song Changfeng coming out of seclusion, Song Qingming's face suddenly became a bit nervous, and he hurriedly asked a few more questions.

Song Xinhu shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific situation yet. When I went to check early this morning, I found that the restriction in Sixth Uncle's cave dwelling had suddenly loosened more than yesterday. I hurriedly notified Thirteenth Uncle of this matter. Just now, Thirteenth Uncle and Fifth Aunt forcibly opened the restriction and went in. Only then did they discover that Sixth Uncle had already fallen into a coma inside, and there was a lot of blood on his body. Only then did they ask me to hurry over and call you."

After listening, Song Qingming immediately took Shi Chun and others and hurried to Song Changfeng's cave dwelling in the back mountain.

As soon as he walked in, Song Qingming saw Thirteenth Uncle Song Changxiong and Fifth Aunt Song Changling checking Song Changfeng, who was lying on the couch and still unconscious.

At this moment, although most of the blood on Song Changfeng's body had been wiped clean, it was still easy to see from his pale face that this must have been caused by his excessive blood loss.

Seeing Song Qingming enter, Song Changling stood up with a heavy heart and said: "I have already checked. Two meridians in Changfeng's body are seriously damaged. I'm afraid it will take ten years or so to slowly recover. However, fortunately, his cultivation foundation is relatively thick. Although this breakthrough failed, his life is still worry-free. I have already helped him take healing elixirs. It is estimated that he will wake up in another two days. For these two days, I think it will be hard for Xinhu to stay here and take care of the Patriarch."

Song Xinhu, who had always been dutiful and obedient in front of several elders, hurriedly smiled, nodded, and agreed to this matter. After he went up the mountain, because of the relationship with the Great Elder, many cultivators in the clan, including Song Qingming, took good care of him. Being able to have an opportunity to repay these elders, he naturally would not refuse.

Hearing that Song Changfeng was not in danger of his life, Song Qingming finally felt relieved. To be honest, since Song Changfeng went into seclusion, he had been worrying about this matter in his heart all these days. Now that the dust had settled and he knew the specific situation, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

After failing Foundation Establishment without a Foundation Establishment pill, only a small half of the people can survive in the end. As long as the person is still there, for them, it can already be considered a relatively good result.

Three days later, Song Changfeng, who had been in a coma for several days, finally woke up safely.

After hearing this news, the Song family members went to his cave dwelling one after another to visit this patriarch who dared to risk his life to reach Foundation Establishment. Song Qingming also came to his cave dwelling early in the morning.

Seeing Song Changfeng lying on the sickbed, still a bit weak, talking and laughing with several elders of the same generation, Song Qingming didn't interrupt them after hearing it, and sat on the side, showing a smile and listening carefully.

Before coming, he thought that this failure would be a big blow to Song Changfeng, and he was thinking about how to comfort him. He didn't expect that this Sixth Uncle, who had taken the position of patriarch for less than ten years, had already calmly faced this failure of his and walked out of the haze of defeat.

"Sixth Uncle, I think you might as well write a detailed Foundation Establishment insight, adding the experience I sorted out before, together with your real experience of Foundation Establishment this time."

Hearing the suggestion made by Song Qingming, Song Changfeng nodded and said: "Qingming, I happen to have this idea too. Now I happen to need a long time to heal my wounds, and I'm afraid I can't go down the mountain to work for the family anymore. It just so happens that I can use this time to write a Foundation Establishment classic of our Song family, leaving it for future generations to use for reference."

"I failed Foundation Establishment this time, and the experience was indeed very dangerous. It can be said that I walked through the gate of hell. If I don't write down the severity of this matter, there will definitely be clansmen in the future who, like me back then, hold a fluke and lose their lives here in vain."
