This family council could be considered a wake-up call for him. Although the Song family's finances were not yet in a state of exceeding income, it would indeed be very easy to encounter problems if things continued like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of mortals and cultivators in the family was increasing, but there were only a few places where they could earn spirit stones. If they didn't find ways to open sources and reduce expenditure, the Song family's financial income would definitely become less and less in the future, falling into a vicious cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixth Uncle, how many spirit stones are currently in the accounts of the Hidden Gold Pavilion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Song Qingming, who had been silent, suddenly ask a question, Song Changfeng hurriedly took out the accounts and continued, \"As of this year's income from all parties, there are currently 2,246 spirit stones in the treasury, and other spiritual objects such as magic tools and spiritual talismans add up to about 700 spirit stones, totaling about 2,900 spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others present didn't have much reaction to this number. After all, when the Song family emptied their hundred-year accumulation to upgrade the spiritual vein, all cultivators didn't receive their salaries normally for about three years. It wasn't until five years ago that the family finally paid off all these owed salaries. Being able to save nearly 3,000 spirit stones over these years was already considered not bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entire scene, only Song Qingming, the family's Supreme Elder, felt that the family was still a bit poor. After all, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a fairly wealthy net worth, his perspective on this matter was naturally different from those present. With only this many spirit stones in the family treasury, it was indeed a bit too little for a Foundation Establishment family; they couldn't withstand any trouble at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over these years, I have been receiving the family salary, but most of my energy has been focused on cultivation, and I haven't come out to ask about family affairs, which is indeed a bit negligent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that the family is developing too quickly, it has suddenly revealed many shortcomings in our foundation in all aspects. If we continue like this without finding ways to make some changes, I'm afraid it will create too many hidden dangers in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, in terms of cultivation skills, I found that the gap between our Song family and others is too large. The family needs to start valuing this area from now on. I think it would be better to directly implement some incentive measures. In the future, whoever can raise their cultivation skills to the first-grade high-grade can automatically receive a portion of the family's subsidy, so as to encourage the clan members to value this area more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Song Qingming say this, everyone present showed a look of surprise. Currently, the Song family's finances were not in deficit, and all aspects of operation were in a fairly good state. Where were there any major hidden dangers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somewhat strangely, although everyone present felt that what Song Qingming said seemed a bit exaggerated, no one spoke up to take the conversation, as if everyone had long been accustomed to Song Qingming's arbitrary behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Song family's current state was mainly due to the personal contribution of this Supreme Elder, including Song Qingyu's Foundation Establishment, which was the result of Song Qingming's strong support. Although most of the people present were his elders, everyone was still quite convinced by Song Qingming from the bottom of their hearts. As long as the suggestions made by this family Foundation Establishment cultivator were not too outrageous, generally no one would oppose them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming naturally saw the reaction of the crowd, but he didn't want to explain too much. After all, he was just proposing a policy for managing the family. Whether this policy would be beneficial or harmful in the future would need time to verify. No matter how well he spoke now, not everyone would be able to understand and believe him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of whether this idea was good or not, no matter the result, they could try it first. If it really didn't work, stopping it at any time wouldn't have much impact on the current Song family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having made up his mind to make some changes recently, Song Qingming then proposed several ideas, all regarding the future development direction of the family, including accelerating the pace of cultivating new spiritual veins, building mortal towns, saving spirit stones consumed by some local arrays, and increasing investment in family spiritual fields, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these ideas proposed by Song Qingming later, they were basically things that could be seen with the eyes, and everyone had no objections and expressed their support for the ideas he proposed. This council lasted for more than an hour before it ended, taking much more time than in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the council ended, everyone left one after another. Song Qingming and Song Changfeng discussed specific matters for a while before slowly returning to their cave dwelling step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he reached the top of the mountain, Song Qingming saw a delicate figure looking up at the starry sky in the night from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you been on the mountain for too long and want to go down?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two years ago, Song Qingyu's mother passed away. After hesitating for a long time, Song Qingming let her go down the mountain for a few days. As a result, Song Qingyu became even more silent after returning. Seeing her standing here alone, he thought she was thinking of her mother again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingyu turned her head, looked at Song Qingming, and smiled lightly, \"Seventh Brother, ever since I established my foundation, I feel that I have become more and more accustomed to the days of being alone these past few years. Except for you, other people seem to no longer be that important in my heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After reaching a certain realm in cultivation, one must always calmly accept loss. No matter who it is, as long as their cultivation cannot keep up with yours, they will eventually only live in your memories.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingyu said, \"Then wouldn't it be better to find someone who can keep up with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you found one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't, but you have.\" Song Qingyu looked at Song Qingming with her big eyes, revealing a sly smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand my own affairs; you'd better not worry about it blindly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Qingming glared at her lightly, he turned his head and looked at the deep sky in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he was going to brush it off again, Song Qingyu suddenly couldn't help but say with a serious face, \"Seventh Brother, Sister-in-law has always been very good to you for so many years, as you know. Is it too unfair to her for you to keep leaving her in Qinghe Market like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She likes running the restaurant, and I respect her. What's wrong with that?\" Song Qingming replied indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's true that you respect her, but do you really not know what she actually likes?\" Song Qingyu's tone was full of suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventh Brother, I can see that you also have feelings for Sister-in-law. Even if her surname is Huang, do you really intend to guard against her like this for a lifetime? When you went missing back then and there was no news of you, Qinghe Market was in such chaos, and when the Huang family came to pick her up, she didn't go back, which is enough to show that she is a person of love and righteousness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sometimes I think, if you hadn't given this Foundation Establishment Pill to me back then but left it for her, would you two not have to face loneliness alone like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Song Qingming looked at the sky and did not answer for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>",1354,"2026-06-14T03:09:35.509Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","bb562bad929b9ee90df3783d33ee121b8fc911b368e96b292977f8c41ee3f221","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-256","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-254",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
