Chapter 413

After chatting with Song Qingshi for a few words, Song Qingming began to ask what had happened in the clan during the half year he was in seclusion.

Since Song Qingming succeeded to the position of Clan Leader, for the past few decades, the trivial matters at home have basically been the concern of Song Qingshi and several family elders. Only when encountering some major events that were difficult to decide would they come to the top of the mountain to ask for the opinion of Song Qingming, the Clan Leader.

However, although Song Qingming, the Clan Leader, didn't manage specific things much, he would still call Song Qingshi, the Great Elder of the family, to talk to him every few months to understand some things that had happened in the family recently.

"During the half year you were in seclusion, the clan was safe and sound, and nothing major happened. It's just that Mount Baiyang was harassed by a group of monsters for a few days last month. Xintang has already taken the Law Enforcement Team to beat back the monsters. However, to prevent those monsters from coming back, he will probably stay there for a period of time. This child works hard, and with him there, as long as he doesn't encounter a second-grade monster, there won't be any major problems."

"Since the monsters have been beaten back, let someone else go to replace him. In recent years, Xintang has been performing family tasks everywhere, and even his cultivation has been somewhat neglected. Let him rest for a while. If he refuses to come back, you just say it's my order." Hearing Song Qingshi mention Song Xintang, Song Qingming sighed slightly with a calm face.

After seeing off his eldest brother Song Qingshi, Song Qingming came alone to the huge rock that Song Qingyu liked the most, watching the sparse cooking smoke from the foot of the mountain.

With the Spirit Gathering Array set up by Song Qingming ten years ago, after consuming nearly twenty thousand spirit stones, the spiritual vein of Mount Funiu was successfully upgraded to second-grade mid-grade. Now the mountain momentum is more majestic than it was ten years ago.

With the continuous development and growth of the family, there are more Song family cultivators than ten years ago. The upgrade of the spiritual vein of Mount Funiu finally satisfied the daily cultivation needs of the Song family cultivators for the time being, and also allowed Song Qingming, a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, to no longer be troubled by the lack of spiritual energy during cultivation.

Since Song Qingyu and the others left, in the past ten years, the Song family, which has been relatively calm, has also had a few major events.

In addition to the upgrade of the spiritual vein, the biggest thing is Song Xintang's impact on the Foundation Establishment realm.

Half a year after obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill, Song Xintang, who had prepared everything, began to close-door to impact the Foundation Establishment barrier. In order to let him have a place with sufficient spiritual energy, Song Qingming even specially gave his cave dwelling to him.

Although he had prepared both his own cultivation foundation and auxiliary spiritual medicine for this Foundation Establishment, and Song Qingming had personally taught him a lot of experience in Foundation Establishment before he went into seclusion, Song Xintang still failed to impact the Foundation Establishment realm this time and walked out of Song Qingming's cave dwelling with a look of disappointment.

For a four-spiritual-root Qi Refining cultivator like Song Xintang to establish a foundation, even with the assistance of a Foundation Establishment Pill, the probability of success is less than 40%. Song Qingming was very clear about this in his heart. Therefore, after Song Qingming learned that Song Xintang failed to establish a foundation, he did not blame him, but patiently comforted him well.

When Song Qingming decided to hand the Foundation Establishment Pill to Song Xintang, he was also prepared in his heart. No matter who he handed the Foundation Establishment Pill to back then, he couldn't guarantee 100% success in Foundation Establishment. Foundation Establishment mainly depends on the cultivator himself.

Even when Song Qingyu established her foundation back then, Song Qingming's expectations for her were just as high. Song Qingyu's successful Foundation Establishment back then, in addition to her own personal efforts, also had a touch of God's favor for the Song family. But whether it is an individual or a family, luck cannot always be on the side of the Song family. Song Xintang's failure in Foundation Establishment just proved this point.

However, although the family decided to hand the Foundation Establishment Pill to Song Xintang after the discussion of many family elders, and Song Qingming and other family elders did not blame him on the surface afterwards, Song Xintang himself seemed to have not walked out of the shadow of the failure of Foundation Establishment for more than ten years.

Especially after his Thirteenth Great-Uncle Song Changxiong, who loved him very much, passed away a few years after the failure of Foundation Establishment, Song Xintang felt more and more guilty in his heart, feeling sorry for the support of these family elders back then. In recent years, he has been desperately performing family tasks and rarely stays on Mount Funiu to practice.

Over the years, many elders, including Song Qingshi, have repeatedly persuaded and enlightened Song Xintang, but the effect was minimal, and instead, he gradually closed his heart.

Song Qingming did not interfere too much with this. Being selected by the family to support Foundation Establishment, but failing in the end, Song Xintang experienced such ups and downs in just one year, which indeed put a lot of pressure on his heart. It is difficult for others' comfort and persuasion to really let him walk out of this shadow in his heart. It still requires him to let go of it in his heart in the future before he can fully walk out.

In addition to these two major events that happened to the Song family over the years, there were not many changes in other places, and the family as a whole was still moving in a good direction step by step.

Ten years have passed, and the other major Foundation Establishment families in Qinghe County have also had many changes.

The biggest thing that happened to the Huang family of Mount Taiyuan was naturally that Huang Shengxin started to close-door to form a core more than ten years ago. However, in the end, this cultivation genius who was rare in a hundred years in Qinghe County exhausted his life and failed to take the step of forming a core. A few years ago, he was found to have passed away in his cave dwelling, and the Huang family leader has now been officially succeeded by Huang Shengyue.

In addition to this, ten years ago, Qinghe County had another Foundation Establishment cultivator. This person is a young cultivator of the Huang family, named Huang Mengde.

Huang Mengde is the one with the best spiritual root talent among the young cultivators of the Huang family in this generation. He was less than forty years old when he succeeded in Foundation Establishment, and his cultivation talent was even better than his predecessor Huang Sipo.

After learning that the Huang family had another cultivator who established a foundation, Song Qingming was also a bit surprised. At the trading meeting on Mount Tuoyun back then, Huang Shengxin did exchange for a precious spiritual object, but Song Qingming, who was with him, did not know what the Huang family exchanged for at that time. He always thought that since he still wanted to impact the Core Formation realm at that time, what he wanted to exchange for must be those spiritual objects useful for Core Formation.

It was not until the news of Huang Mengde's Foundation Establishment reached Mount Funiu that Song Qingming suddenly remembered this matter. The Huang family could have someone succeed in Foundation Establishment in such a short time, and the Foundation Establishment Pill was very likely from the trading meeting on Mount Tuoyun a few years ago. Now it seems that Song Qingming was a bit wrong about this at first.

As a great cultivation family that has developed for a thousand years, it is indeed not a surprising thing for the Huang family to be able to take out a spiritual object to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Although the Huang family's older generation cultivators Huang Shengxin and Huang Shengyue have not had a smooth path in recent years, the luck of the younger generation of cultivators seems to be much better. Huang Sipo and Huang Mengde have succeeded in Foundation Establishment one after another, which can be considered as replenishing fresh blood for the Huang family, which was originally a bit disconnected.
