Chapter 444

Seeing the second-grade flying sword in his hand, Song Yuanli was overjoyed and knelt on the ground.

"Yuanli thanks the ancestor for the treasure!"

Seeing that Song Qingyu's move seemed to imply that he was somewhat stingy, Song Qingming could only smile and take out a golden jade ring from his storage bag and send it to Song Yuanli.

"This item is called the Golden Silk Ring, and it is also a second-grade low-grade magic tool. This is the only magic tool on me that is more suitable for you, so I will give it to you for self-defense first!"

Seeing Song Qingming take out this magic tool, not only Song Yuanli, but everyone else in the council hall was immediately attracted.

Although the quality and grade of this Golden Silk Ring and the flying sword that Song Qingyu just took out were the same, both were second-grade low-grade magic tools. But the price of defensive magic tools like the Golden Silk Ring in the market was much higher than ordinary flying swords.

Seeing the two ancestors of the family bestow treasures one after another, other Song family cultivators on the side cast envious glances at Song Yuanli one after another, stepped forward to surround him and congratulate him. The total value of the two magic tools he received today already exceeded one thousand spirit stones.

After everyone quieted down, Song Qingming stood up and announced: "Since Yuanli has already established his foundation, from today on, he is the family's new Supreme Elder, and his monthly salary will also be issued according to me and Qingyu. Does everyone have any objections!"

"Follow the Clan Leader's order!"

"Clan Leader, when you and Aunt Qingyu established your foundation before, you didn't hold a celebration. This time, Yuanli's Foundation Establishment, our Song family can't miss it again."

"That's right, Clan Leader, Xintong is right. First, we can celebrate well, and second, we can take this opportunity to show the strength of our Song family to other immortal cultivation forces around us and deter those ignorant petty people."

When Song Qingming established his foundation back then, the Song family was still a weak Qi Refining family and did not have the financial resources to hold a large celebration for Song Qingming, so they could only celebrate a little in the clan.

Later, when Song Qingyu established her foundation, although the situation of the Song family had improved a lot, Song Qingming, in order to hide the fact that Song Qingyu established her foundation from the surrounding forces, decided not to hold a celebration for Song Qingyu. At that time, there were still many clansmen who had opinions on this matter.

Now hearing everyone mention holding a Foundation Establishment celebration for Yuanli, Song Qingming pondered slightly for a moment, but did not spoil the fun of everyone present, nodded and agreed, and let Song Qingsi be responsible for hosting and arranging the celebration.

Now, with the passing of old-school Foundation Establishment cultivators of the generation of Gao Jinhe and Huang Shengyang, although the number of Song family cultivators and the overall strength of the family were still not as good as the Huang and Gao families, by virtue of Song Qingming now replacing Huang Shengyang as the cultivator with the highest cultivation base in Qinghe County, the prestige of the Song family was already no worse than the Huang and Gao families. At this time, holding a Foundation Establishment celebration for Song Yuanli naturally had nothing to worry about.

Just as the Song family members in the council hall were discussing the specific matters of holding the celebration, a Song family cultivator suddenly rushed into the council hall in a hurry.

"Clan Leader! Great Elder... Great Elder, he seems to be dying!"

Hearing the person shouting Great Elder, Song Qingming felt a bad feeling in his heart, stood up immediately, and said sternly: "Yuantong, what happened to the Great Elder? Tell me quickly!"

Song Yuantong looked at Song Qingming and replied anxiously: "The Great Elder fainted again just now. I gave him the Qingling Pill for nearly half an hour, but he still hasn't woken up. Clan Leader, you go and see quickly!"

The Great Elder in Song Yuantong's mouth was Song Qingming's eldest brother, Song Qingshi.

Over the years, as all the Chang-generation cultivators withered away, Song Qingshi was now the oldest cultivator in the Song family. Because Song Qingshi had never been injured in several major battles of the Song family, he was also one of the few long-lived cultivators in the Song family who could live to be over one hundred and twenty years old.

When Song Qingming brought everyone to the eldest brother Song Qingshi's cave dwelling, many cultivators who had a good relationship with Song Qingshi had already arrived here.

Seeing the Clan Leader and many family elders arrive here, everyone gave way to a path and temporarily retreated.

The Fourth Brother Song Qingrui, who was sitting by Song Qingshi's bed, was already old and decrepit, and was directing the servants who served Song Qingshi to feed water and medicine to Song Qingshi, who was lying on the bed.

After Song Qingming stepped forward to check, seeing that a gray-white color had already appeared on Song Qingshi's forehead, he also knew that Song Qingshi's time was running out.

"Xintong, you go to the Zangjin Pavilion and take a Du Yuan Pill."

"Clan Leader, are you talking about the Du Yuan Pill?"

Song Qingming nodded gently: "Yes! Go quickly."

Song Xintong took the order and left, and soon returned here with a small wooden box and handed it to Song Qingming. After Song Qingming opened the wooden box, he personally sent the shining Du Yuan Pill inside into Song Qingshi's mouth.

After taking this pill, the gray-white energy on Song Qingshi's face disappeared for the most part, and his complexion gradually improved.

Seeing that the pill had an effect, Song Qingming also felt relieved. This Du Yuan Pill could help restore the essence and blood loss in a cultivator's body. It was a second-grade pill of great value. One pill in the market cost at least two hundred spirit stones, and there was only this one in the Song family's Zangjin Pavilion.

Because of this, when Song Qingming called Song Xintong to take the pill just now, she thought she had misheard. Such a precious second-grade pill, Song Qingming used it on Song Qingshi, who had little time left, which was indeed a waste in everyone's eyes.

After guarding in Song Qingshi's cave dwelling for half a day, he, whose complexion gradually improved, finally opened his eyes and woke up. Song Qingming, fearing that there were too many people in the cave dwelling to disturb him, drove most of them out, leaving only a few Qing-generation elders.

As soon as he opened his eyes and saw Song Qingming and others by the bed, Song Qingshi squeezed a smile on his face and said slowly: "Qingming, Qingyu, why do you have time to come to me?"

"Eldest Brother, you fainted for half a day just now. It was Qingming who gave you the Du Yuan Pill to save you." Before Song Qingming could answer, Song Qingrui on the side directly said everything that happened before.

"Du Yuan Pill? I am a person who has buried my head in the yellow soil. Why waste such a precious pill on me? Qingming is also very confused!" As soon as Song Qingshi heard that he had just taken the Fuyuan Pill, he looked at Song Qingming with confusion.

Song Qingming smiled and nodded to Song Qingshi: "Eldest Brother is right. You see, I, as a younger brother, have been steady and managing the family for so many years, and I haven't made any big mistakes. What if I am confused once!"

Hearing Song Qingming reply to him with a smile, Song Qingshi could only shake his head helplessly and let Song Qingrui on the side help him sit up. As the medicinal power of the Fuyuan Pill was slowly absorbed, Song Qingshi's face slowly had a trace of blood, and his whole complexion looked much better.

"Qingming! In my life, being lucky enough to help you manage the family until now can be considered not living in vain. When I go down and see the Sixth Uncle, Third Granduncle, Fourth Granduncle, and the others, I can be considered not to have disgraced the mission.

Now Yuanli has also successfully established his foundation, and the family has one more Foundation Establishment cultivator. The family has been carried forward in our Qing generation for a hundred years. The only regret in my life is that I didn't see you establish your core with my own eyes."

Hearing Song Qingshi slowly say the words in his heart, Song Qingming's face slowly returned to calm.

"Eldest Brother, you are really praising me too much. The Golden Core Great Dao, how can it be so easy to get through? In this life, being able to have so many brothers helping me, I have long been satisfied."

After chatting with Song Qingshi for a while, Song Qingming took everyone away from his cave dwelling and walked slowly on the mountain road outside.

"Fourth Brother, accompany me for a walk in a while!" Seeing the Fourth Brother Song Qingrui, who walked alone at the very end after walking out of the cave dwelling, Song Qingming stopped and came to his side.

Fourth Brother Song Qingrui had always lived with Song Yuanli for these years. After Song Yuanli established his foundation, in order to have sufficient spiritual energy to practice, he soon moved to the top of the mountain, transformed the cave dwelling where he had practiced in closed-door before, and moved in directly. Song Qingrui, who had completed his mission, had also moved back to his home at the foot of the mountain to spend his later years.

Seeing that Song Qingming wanted to send him off, Song Qingrui nodded and agreed, and the two took a flying sword and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Fourth Brother, take good care of your health. The family is discussing holding Yuanli's Foundation Establishment ceremony. As his teacher, you must perform well and drink a few more cups!"

Hearing Song Qingming's words of concern, Song Qingrui smiled and sighed: "Qingming, being able to see Yuanli successfully establish his foundation, I can be considered worthy of your trust.

Now the Second Sister and Third Brother have all left, and the Eldest Brother and I don't have much time left, and we can't see the day you establish your core. If you really succeed in establishing your core in the future and witness the Golden Core Great Dao, don't forget to tell us at our graves."

Song Qingming just wanted to say something, but saw the look of expectation in Song Qingrui's eyes when he looked at him.

After a moment of silence, Song Qingming smiled and nodded: "Fourth Brother, rest assured! I will definitely not forget."

After Song Qingshi took the Du Yuan Pill, although he persisted for more than half a month, he still did not wait for the time when Song Yuanli held the Foundation Establishment ceremony and passed away in his cave dwelling in a hurry.

After handling Song Qingshi's funeral, less than a month later, Song Qingming received the bad news of the departure of another familiar person and rushed to Qinghe Market alone.

The one who left the world this time was the Song family's only guest elder, Shi Chun.

Shi Chun's age was actually not older than Song Qingrui, but he was a rogue cultivator in his early years and still carried a lot of injuries. Not only did he not live to the age limit of one hundred and twenty years, but he also left very suddenly without any signs.

Shi Chun, who was already retiring at home the day before, was still discussing with his family about expanding the backyard of his home. Unexpectedly, he passed away in his home the next day. By the time Song Qingming knew this news, it was already three days later.
