Chapter 413 Failure
After chatting with Song Qingshi for a few words, Song Qingming began to ask about what had happened in his clan during the six months of seclusion.
Since Song Qingming succeeded the patriarch, in the past few decades, Song Qingshi and several family elders have basically been concerned about trivial matters in the family. Only when they encountered some major issues that were difficult to decide, would they go to the top of the mountain to ask Song Qingming, the patriarch, for advice. Opinion.
However, although Song Qingming, the patriarch, doesn't care much about specific matters, he still calls Song Qingshi, the family elder, to come to him every few months to talk and learn about some of the recent events in the family.
"You have been in seclusion for the past six months. The clan is relatively safe and nothing major has happened. However, the Baiyang Mountain area was attacked by a group of monsters for a few days last month. Xintang has led the law enforcement team to fight off the monsters. But in order to prevent those monsters from coming back, they will probably stay there for a while. This kid works hard, and as long as he doesn't encounter a second-level monster, nothing big will happen."
"Now that the monster has been defeated, let's replace him with someone else. In recent years, Xintang has been carrying out family tasks everywhere, and even his training has been somewhat neglected. Let him rest for a while. If he refuses to come back, you can Say it was my order." When Song Qingshi mentioned Song Xintang, Song Qingming sighed calmly.
After bidding farewell to his eldest brother Song Qingshi, Song Qingming came alone to the boulder that Song Qingyu liked the most and looked at the few smokes at the bottom of the mountain.
With the spirit gathering array arranged by Song Qingming ten years ago, after consuming nearly 20,000 spirit stones, Funiu Mountain's spirit veins were successfully upgraded to the second-level mid-level. Today's mountain is more majestic than it was more than ten years ago. Some.
As the family continues to grow and develop, there are more monks in the Song family than there were more than ten years ago. The promotion of Funiu Mountain's spiritual veins has finally temporarily met the daily cultivation needs of the Song family monks, and also allowed Song Qingming, a late-stage foundation-building monk, to No longer suffer from the trouble of insufficient spiritual energy during practice.
Since Song Qingyu and the others left, several major events have happened in the relatively peaceful Song family in the past ten years.
In addition to the upgrade of spiritual veins, the biggest thing is that Song Xintang has reached the foundation building realm.
Half a year after receiving the Foundation Establishment Pill, Song Xintang, who had prepared everything, began to retreat to attack the Foundation Establishment stage. In order to give him a place with sufficient spiritual energy, Song Qingming also specially gave him his cave.
Although he had prepared both his own cultivation base and auxiliary elixirs for foundation building this time, and Song Qingming personally taught him a lot of foundation building experience before he retreated, Song Xintang's impact on the foundation building realm this time In the end, he failed and walked out of Song Qingming's cave with a disappointed look on his face.
For a Four Spiritual Root Qi Refining monk like Song Xintang to build a foundation, even with the assistance of the Foundation Building Pill, the chance of successful foundation building is actually less than 40%. Song Qingming is also very clear about this, so Song Qingming knows that Song Xintang After the foundation building failed, she did not blame him verbally, but patiently comforted him.
When Song Qingming decided to hand over the Foundation Establishment Pill to Song Xintang, he was mentally prepared. No matter who he gave the Foundation Establishment Pill to, there was no guarantee that he would be able to successfully build the Foundation. Rely on the monks themselves.
Even when Song Qingyu was building the foundation, Song Qingming's expectations for her were only so high. Song Qingyu's success in building the foundation was not only due to her own efforts, but also a hint of God's favor for the Song family, but she was also personally Well, no matter the family, luck cannot always be on the side of the Song family. The failure of Song Xintang's foundation building just proved this.
However, although the family's decision to hand over the Foundation Establishment Pill to Song Xintang was the result of discussions among many family elders, and Song Qingming and other family elders did not publicly blame him afterwards, Song Xintang himself seemed to have not done so in the past ten years. Get out of the shadow of failed foundation building.
Especially a few years after the failure of the foundation building, Song Changxiong, the thirteenth uncle who loved him very much, passed away. Song Xintang felt more and more guilty in his heart. I was sorry for the support that the elders of the family had given him in the past. In recent years, he had been desperately carrying out the family's duties. Mission, rarely stay on Funiu Mountain to practice.
Over the years, many elders, including Song Qingshi, have tried to persuade and guide Song Xintang many times, but with little success. Instead, he gradually closed his heart.
Song Qingming did not interfere too much in this regard. He was selected by the family to support the foundation building, but failed in the end. In just one year, Song Xintang experienced such ups and downs, which indeed made him feel a lot of burden. The pressure of other people's comfort and persuasion on this kind of thing is difficult for him to truly get out of the shadow in his heart. He still needs to take the initiative to let go in the future before he can fully get out of it.
Apart from these two major events that have happened in the Song family over the years, other places have changed a lot. The family as a whole is still developing in a good direction step by step.
More than ten years have passed, and the other major foundation-building families in Qinghe County have also undergone many changes.
The biggest thing that happened to the Huang family in Taiyuan Mountain was naturally that Huang Shengxin began to retreat into the dead body to form elixirs more than ten years ago. However, in the end, this once-in-a-century cultivation genius in Qinghe County finally failed after spending his whole life. He has not taken the step of forming a core. He was found to be sitting in his own cave a few years ago. Huang Shengyue has now officially taken over as the head of the Huang family.
In addition, there was another foundation-building monk in Qinghe County ten years ago. This man was a monk from the younger generation of the Huang family, named Huang Mengde.
Huang Mengde is one of the young monks of the Huang family who has the best spiritual talent. He was less than forty years old when he succeeded in building the foundation. His cultivation talent is better than that of his predecessor Huang Sibo.
Song Qingming was a little surprised when he learned that the Huang family had another monk building a foundation. At the Tuoyun Mountain trade fair, Huang Shengxin finally got a precious spiritual object, but Song Qingming, who was traveling with him, didn't know what the Huang family had gotten at that time. What exactly is it? He always thought that what he wanted to exchange for, who wanted to reach the realm of forming pills at that time, must be those spiritual objects that were useful for forming pills.
It wasn't until the news of Huang Mengde's foundation building reached Funiu Mountain that Song Qingming suddenly remembered the matter. How could someone in the Huang family succeed in building a foundation in such a short period of time? The foundation building pill most likely came from the Tuoyun Mountain Fair a few years ago. , now it seems that Song Qingming was a little wrong about this at first.
As a clan that has been cultivating immortals for thousands of years, it is indeed not a big surprise that the Huang family can come up with a spiritual object that can be exchanged for a foundation-building pill.
Although the two older monks Huang Shengxin and Huang Shengyue of the Huang family have had troubles in recent years, the luck of the younger generation of monks seems to be much better. Huang Sibo and Huang Mengde have successively succeeded in building foundations, which can be regarded as a foundation for the original. Some of the Huang family who were struggling to survive were given fresh blood.
