Chapter 733: Jin Yushan's response, rewards
The territory between "Jinshanfang" and "Baishiling" is thousands of miles in radius, which is the size of two Pingyang counties. Such a large area is now full of human cultivators, and there are few traces of monsters above level 2.
In the future, as long as the Song family slowly clears out the low-level monsters in the territory and develops slowly, the family territory can be expanded directly by double. At least in the short term, there is no need to worry about the lack of spiritual mountains in the territory as it is now.
After listening to Song Changze's report, Song Qingming nodded slightly and said:
"Well! Since everything is almost done, let's send a message to inform the family and let Yuan Fang and others prepare. You will go back in a few days and transport the first batch of mortals as soon as possible.
Also, take Xuande and others here by the way, and explore all the second-level spiritual mountains to see where there are mineral veins nearby. This matter must be handled quickly, so as not to be exploited by those people below."
Song Changze heard this and immediately bowed and responded: "Don't worry, clan leader, when Xuande and others come, I will personally accompany them to go, and there will be no problems."
"Well! This matter is left to you. I will be here recently. If you find anything, come and let me know in time."
After Song Qingming finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave the hall, but found Song Changze standing beside him, with a look on his face that he wanted to say something but didn't Seeing that Song Qingming had stopped talking, as if he had something else to say, he directly said to him:
"Changze, there are no outsiders here. If there is anything that is not clear, just ask directly!"
Seeing that Song Qingming saw through his thoughts, Song Changze nodded awkwardly and said, "Seventh Uncle, this is actually not my own business. Xuanting sent me a message a few days ago asking me to ask you for your opinion.
A few days ago, Li Chengyue came to him and wanted the spiritual vein of Hongyue Mountain. He asked him to ask you if you could give this spiritual vein to the Li family at that time.
Li Chengyue agreed that if the family agreed, the Li family would exchange this spiritual vein for a foundation-building pill plus half of the shares of Chiyanfang."
After Song Changze finished speaking, he glanced at Song Qingming's face with some worry, and found that as he had thought beforehand, Song Qingming had already revealed a bit of a bad face at this moment.
"The family will have its own way to distribute the spiritual veins. Let Li Chengyue go directly to Yuan Fang. If there is such a thing in the future, don't come to us directly to pass on the message.
Go back and tell Xuan Ting that the matter between the Li family and Funiushan should be as little involved as possible in the future. The family has its own rules for doing things, and it cannot be changed arbitrarily because of an individual. Otherwise, everyone will come to the door to seek connections, and what will happen to the family in the future."
Hearing Song Qingming's reply, Song Changze, who was still a little embarrassed, nodded hurriedly and dared not say anything more. He slowly breathed a sigh of relief until he saw the ancestor of the family in front of him walk out of the hall.
"I've told you that the ancestor doesn't like you to get involved in other families' affairs. I told you not to help Xuan Ting, but you didn't listen. You feel good about being scolded this time!"
Seeing a trace of regret on Song Changze's face, Liu Yuxin on the side couldn't help but scold him again, and felt helpless about Song Changze's behavior just now.
"I also know that the ancestor doesn't like to hear this. This is not the first time that Xuan Ting has come to me for help. How can I, as an elder, directly reject him? I know you are unhappy, but there is nothing I can do about it?
Anyway, whoever said that he would be scolded, I took this matter on behalf of Xuan Ting this time, just as I, as a clan uncle, took care of him once."
Song Changze, who had already regretted it in his heart, was embarrassed by what his wife said at this moment, and sighed with a self-deprecating look.
After Song Xuanting established his foundation, he married the Li family of "Cuilong Mountain" under the matchmaking of Song Yuanfang, and married a younger niece of Li Chengyue as his Taoist partner. Because of this relationship, he naturally had a closer relationship with the Li family.
This time, following the Song family to expand their territory, the Li family took a fancy to the "Red Moon Ridge" among the dozen or so second-level spiritual veins near the "White Lion Ridge", so they wanted to inquire about this matter with the Song family in advance through Song Xuanting's relationship, to see if they could take this second-level upper-grade spiritual vein in advance.
Faced with Li Chengyue's initiative to ask for help, Song Xuanting couldn't refuse due to the relationship between the two parties, so he agreed to help the Li family inquire about this matter.
However, although Song Xuanting is the family's foundation elder, his relationship with Song Qingming and the three Jindan ancestors is relatively ordinary, and there is no good opportunity to ask Song Qingming alone about this matter.
On the "White Lion Ridge" side, the couple Song Changze and his wife are currently close to the ancestors of the family and can talk to them, so Song Xuanting came to them for help.
Liu Yuxin has been married to the Song family for so many years, and she has long been very familiar with the tempers of Song Qingming and others. After knowing that Song Xuanting had found Song Changze, she wanted to remind him not to interfere in this matter, but Song Changze still said it out of spite.
At this moment, Liu Yuxin could only smile bitterly at her husband who always likes to think about others in his dealings with others. She knew that he was kind-hearted and always thought about the people around him, but such a character would always make him suffer.
After setting up the mountain protection formation, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu stayed in "White Lion Ridge" to take charge, and asked Huang Siyuan, who still had a lot of alchemy tasks, to return to "Funiu Mountain" first.
The news that the human cultivators had won a great victory and captured "White Lion Ridge" soon reached the ears of many demon kings near "Golden Feather Mountain".
Although the "White Rhinoceros Demon King" is a foreign demon king and not a direct descendant of Jinyu Mountain, after it settled in "White Lion Ridge", like many surrounding demon kings, it took the initiative to surrender to Jinyu Mountain and was classified as the Great Demon King. Under the command of the giant elephant demon king.
After the two demon kings, Bailu and Heijia, failed to support the "White Lion Ridge", they quickly confirmed the news that the "White Rhinoceros Demon King" had been killed by human monks.
I originally thought that the Song family went deep into the Fuyun Mountains to besiege the "White Rhino Demon King" just to avenge its previous attack on "Jinshanfang". After the two demon kings escaped back to their lair, they thought that Song Qingming and others would immediately after plundering Lingshan. It will retreat southward to "Jinshanfang".
Unexpectedly, the Song family didn't leave after killing the "White Rhino Demon King". They were still building a house on the mountain and planned to stay there for a long time.
Seeing this situation, the two demon kings also knew that the other party was here to grab territory, so they immediately informed their backer "Colossus Demon King" about the matter.
After learning that the human monks actually went deep into the Fuyun Mountains to surround and kill the demon king under his command, the "Giant Elephant Demon King" was also a little angry. Within a few days, he personally led the two demon kings to kill the "White Lion Ridge" again.
Although Huang Siyuan has returned to "Funiu Mountain", Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, backed by the mountain protection formation, were not weak at all when facing the three demon kings, and even took the initiative to fight with them outside the formation.
The "Giant Elephant Demon King" had fought against Song Qingming during the demon beast turmoil, and both parties knew each other's magical abilities very well.
However, Song Qingming's cultivation was still at the sixth level of the Golden Core at that time. He could only barely cope with the "Giant Elephant Demon King" in the later stage of the Golden Core, and had no way to defeat his opponent.
But decades later, Song Qingming's cultivation has advanced to the seventh level of the Golden Core, and he has a few more powerful magical powers and magic weapons. When the two of them fought again, Song Qingming was able to gain the upper hand over his old opponent. .
Song Qingyu faced the two demon kings, Egret and Heijia, all by himself. He also fought with ease, keeping the two demon kings firmly out of the formation with one person and one sword.
The two sides fought for a long time. Not only did the "Giant Elephant Demon King" and the others not take advantage, but the "Egret Demon King" almost died in the hands of Song Qingming and the others.
Seeing that he could not defeat the opponent, the "Giant Elephant Demon King" who fled back to the north took the initiative to come to Jinyu Mountain and wanted to ask the "Black Dragon Demon Emperor" to send troops to help drive Song Qingming and others back to the south of "Jinshanfang".
Unexpectedly, this time the "Giant Elephant Demon King" took the initiative to come to the door, but was rejected in "Golden Feather Mountain". He happened to meet the "Ink Dragon Demon King" who was practicing in seclusion, and only saw his crony "Golden Tiger Demon King".
Faced with the "Giant Elephant Demon King"'s request for help, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" who had not received the Demon King's instructions only comforted him and did not agree to send troops to assist him.
It was not until the "Giant Elephant Demon King" was sent away that the "Golden Tiger Demon King" turned around and came to a cave on the top of the mountain, where he met the "Ink Dragon Demon King" who was in retreat.
"Ancestor, I have sent the giant elephant back. I heard he said that the Song family does not intend to leave after taking Baishi Ridge this time. They have also set up a magic circle on the mountain. Do you think we should send troops to drive them back?"
"How to rush back? Do you think the Xiaoyao Sect doesn't know about the Song family's move? I'm afraid that when you arrive at Baishi Ridge, people from the Xiaoyao Sect will already be waiting there."
Upon hearing the question from the "Golden Tiger Demon King", the "Ink Dragon Demon King" raised his hand to collect the mana scattered around his body, and then stood up.
"Last time we were defeated and Guiyunfang's vitality was seriously injured. Now that Xiaoyao Sect has recovered, they will definitely not give up on us easily. If I'm not wrong, the Song family's dispatch of troops this time should be their first move. Test.
Now that our strength is not much greater than that of the Xiaoyao Sect, we will not gain much advantage by sending troops rashly, and we will easily fall into an ambush by those cunning human monks.
Now is not the best time for us to launch a full-scale war. There is no need to start a war with them in advance for a small Baishi Ridge. Let's wait until we find a helper! "
After the last defeat, the "Jinyu Mountain" demon clan was severely damaged. More than half of the low-level demon beasts under its command were killed or wounded, and even the Jindan Demon King lost seven or eight people.
Although some demonic beasts have been recruited from northern Xinjiang in recent years, their current strength is still incomparable with that before the demonic beasts were in turmoil, and it will take hundreds of years to slowly recover.
As a confidant of the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor", the Golden Tiger Demon King was also aware of the current unfavorable situation of "Golden Feather Mountain", and he did not question the decision of the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" too much.
However, now that the human monks have begun to expand northward, they have also killed the White Rhinoceros Demon King under the command of the "Giant Elephant Demon King". As the backer of the nearby demon clan, "Golden Feather Mountain" seems to be a little unjustifiable if it ignores this matter.
After hesitating for a moment, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" still bit the bullet and asked: "Ancestor, how do we reply to the giant elephant? If we just ignore it, I'm afraid he will be dissatisfied with us in the future."
"Molong Demon King" heard this and sighed: "Anyway, he is also a great demon king in the late stage of Jindan who has practiced for thousands of years. He can't even defeat the small Song family. It's useless for me to hand over the entire Northeast to him." Oh, what a waste.
If you don’t have the ability, you just know how to come here to fight against us. We know how to send troops to support you. If the Xiaoyao Sect is not all fools, why would they just sit idly by and watch us take action? You can’t let me, the ancestor of Yuanying, take action to deal with it. them.
If this is the case, then the Song family would not be so bold as to go north to attack our Monster Clan territory.
It's just a third-level lower-grade spiritual mountain that was lost, not his Juling Peak. Why be so short-sighted?
Later, you can have someone send a magic weapon to Juling Peak to appease it, and tell the giant elephant not to worry. When we have accumulated enough strength, we will definitely fight back to the south sooner or later. By then, you can have as many spiritual mountains as you want.
Also, tell all the demon kings near the south that Xiaoyao Sect may have other actions recently, so let them pay attention and don't let the human cultivators take advantage of it like this. "
"The ancestor is wise, just leave this matter to me, don't worry, I will definitely appease the giant elephant. "Hearing the explanation of the "Black Dragon Demon King", the Golden Tiger Demon King quickly nodded and agreed to the matter.
The Song family moved north to occupy the "White Lion Ridge", which means that the "Giant Elephant Demon King" entrenched in the east lost some territory, which did not have much impact on the entire Jinyu Mountain demon clan.
The "Golden Tiger Demon King" did not want to interfere in the affairs of the "White Lion Ridge" in his heart, but it was a bit unreasonable not to give an explanation when someone came to his door.
Song Qingming, who was far away in the "White Lion Ridge", had actually expected that the "Black Dragon Demon King" would not interfere in the matter, which was also the biggest reason why he dared to take action against the "White Lion Ridge".
This time, when expanding the territory to the north, Song Qingming first went to the "Guyang Mountain" in person. After getting the support of the sect, he felt relieved to gather people to attack the "White Lion Ridge".
After the last monster riot, the "Jinyu Mountain" demon army After the failed attack on "Guiyunfang", the monster army under his command suffered heavy losses, and more than half of them were killed or injured before they were able to withdraw to the Floating Cloud Mountains.
After the war, the monsters of "Jinyu Mountain" no longer have any advantage over the "Xiaoyao Sect", and the human cultivators have also long wanted to counterattack the monsters to avenge their hatred.
"Molong Monster King" was short of manpower, so he could only recruit a group of monsters with varying strengths from the northern border to strengthen the already somewhat empty defense outside Jinyu Mountain.
Now the monsters of "Jinyu Mountain" are still in danger. As long as "Molong Monster King" is not stupid, he will not go to war with Xiaoyao Sect for a small "White Lion Ridge" at this time.
At most, he will give some support behind the scenes to see if "Giant Elephant Monster King" has the ability to recapture Lingshan. He will never send the main force. The powerful monster army came.
After Song Qingming and his men conquered "White Lion Ridge", they had already arranged a third-level "mountain protection formation". Without five or six monster kings above the middle Jindan stage attacking at the same time, there was no chance to recapture this sacred mountain.
With only the "Giant Elephant Monster King" and his monster army, the three Jindan cultivators of the Song family were enough to deal with it, without the help of others.
If the "Golden Feather Mountain" monster army dared to go south for large-scale support, the "Xiaoyao Sect" behind the Song family would definitely not sit idly by, and the monsters would not get any benefits at that time.
After receiving clear instructions from the "Molong Monster King", the "Golden Tiger Monster King" went to the Giant Spirit Peak in person a few days later and comforted the "Giant Elephant Monster King" who had been wronged.
Knowing that the person in Jinyu Mountain did not want to go to war with the human race now, the "Giant Elephant Monster King" was in his heart. They were unwilling but helpless. Without the help of "Golden Feather Mountain", they could not drive away Song Qingming and others. In the end, they could only record this account helplessly.
Although they knew that "Golden Feather Mountain" would most likely not send troops to support "Giant Elephant Demon King" and others, Song Qingming did not relax his vigilance and continued to stay in "White Lion Ridge" with Song Qingyu.
Soon, more than half a year passed. As Song Qingming thought, there was no movement on the side of Golden Feather Mountain. Except for several southward explorations, "Giant Elephant Demon King" did not dare to go deep and bring people to attack "White Lion Ridge".
More than half a year has passed, and the monsters in many spiritual mountain territories near "White Lion Ridge" have basically been cleared. Everyone has worked hard for more than half a year, and now it is time to reward them for their merits.
Seeing that "White Lion Ridge" had gradually stabilized, Song Qingming took the time to lead some of the family monks back to "Funiu Mountain", leaving Song Qingyu and Song Changze stationed on "White Lion Ridge".
The family had just conquered "White Lion Ridge" and expanded thousands of miles of territory to the north. Not only did they have to reward and enfeoff the territory according to merit, but they also had to arrange for monks and mortals to build and manage these spiritual veins.
In the past six months, Song Yuanfang, who was in charge of this matter in the rear, was also busy for this. When he heard the news that Song Qingming had returned to the family, he immediately came to the top of the mountain to find him.
"Seventh Uncle, these are the cultivators who will be rewarded after the war according to Yuan Qian and others' statistics, as well as the merits of the major foundation-building families. Please take a look first. If there is no problem, I will let Changze and others execute it directly.
In addition, in recent months, many immortal cultivation families and foreign independent cultivators have come to ask for the low-level spiritual veins that we have newly occupied in the north.
There are too many people coming. We only have these spiritual veins, which are far from enough for them to share. I can only distribute them based on merit.
This is a draft of the division of new spiritual veins that I drafted. Please take a look at what needs to be changed first, and I will consider it later."
Seeing the reward account handed over by Song Yuanfang, Song Qingming just glanced at it and nodded, agreeing to their arrangement.
The Song family has been promoted to a golden elixir family for more than a hundred years, and the merit system in the family has long been very perfect. Song Qingming is still relatively relieved that Song Yuanfang and others can handle this matter.
After returning the merit account book to Song Yuanfang, Song Qingming focused his attention on the second list of spiritual veins in his hand.
This time, in addition to the third-level spiritual vein "White Lion Ridge", the Song family occupied a total of thirteen second-level and above spiritual veins and more than eighty first-level and above spiritual veins.
Some of these spiritual veins were previously developed by cultivators and then occupied by monsters, while others were naturally occupied by monsters and were just taken down by human cultivators. Without exception, they are all excellent spiritual veins with an environment that is more suitable for mortals to live in.
Knowing the news that the Song family has developed so many new spiritual veins, all the immortal cultivation families in the Song family territory began to move, wanting to use merits or spiritual objects to exchange for better spiritual mountains for the family.
The most radical among them is the Li family where Li Chengyue is located. The spiritual vein grade of the Li family's "Lotus Mountain" is only the second-level middle grade. With the rapid development of the family in recent years, the spiritual energy on the mountain has been somewhat insufficient.
They are just trying to take this opportunity to take a second-level upper-grade spiritual mountain near "White Lion Ridge", which can not only solve the problem of insufficient family spiritual veins, but also allow the Li family to follow the Song family to develop northward together.
However, the spiritual vein of "Red Moon Ridge" that the Li family wanted to exchange for was not only theirs, but also several foundation-building families, and the competition was very fierce.
After considering their offers, Song Yuanfang finally chose to exchange the spiritual vein to the Li family, but the price was much higher than what they had offered before. The Li family spent nearly 30,000 spiritual stones to get this spiritual vein.
In addition to the immortal cultivation families under the Song family, many scattered cultivation forces that lacked spiritual veins for cultivation, as well as some foreign immortal cultivation families, also came to "Funiu Mountain" and spent spiritual stones to exchange a spiritual vein they wanted from the Song family.
Even in the "Xiaoyao Sect", there were several foundation-building cultivators who had lost their paths, and they asked someone to write to the Song family to ask if there were any extra spiritual veins for them to settle their relatives and descendants.
All of them were old and had long lost the hope of breaking through the golden elixir. They had no background in the sect. Once they passed away in the future, their descendants would definitely be ostracized like the ancestors of the Song family.
So he thought about whether he could exchange an estate for his relatives and descendants in advance, so that they would have a place to settle down in the future and not have to live under someone else's roof and look at other people's eyes.
Facing these forces that wanted to join the Song family, Song Qingming was still quite concerned. He carefully checked the names above, and unexpectedly saw a name that he was very familiar with, Bai Yunhua.
Seeing this name, Song Qingming immediately saw the figure of the other party in his mind.
Thinking of the formation genius who followed him to "Funiu Mountain" to help improve the spiritual veins, he couldn't help but sigh that time had passed so quickly. It has been almost two hundred years since the two of them met.
"Yuan Fang, I have some old acquaintances with this person, and he is also Yuan Rong's master. The spiritual vein of Xu Ri Peak that he wants is a first-class spiritual vein anyway, so just give it to him directly, and don't ask him to collect spiritual stones.
As for the others, I looked at them and there is no big problem. Just follow your current expectations. If there are any changes, please send me a letter to inform me.
Remember one thing, those spiritual mountains where the mineral veins have been detected by Xuan De and others must be told in advance. They cannot be allowed to mine privately. If anyone disobeys, the spiritual vein will be taken back on the spot."
"Okay! Seventh Uncle, there is another thing about Xuan De's recent foundation building. I would like to ask your opinion again. Should the family continue to support him to continue building the foundation?" (End of this chapter)
