Although I really want to try the power of [Earth Core Cold Flame], the place is inconvenient after all. If I accidentally ignite Bamboo Building, it will be a lot of fun.

Putting Spirit Severing Gourd away, Song Changsheng wanted to re-sacrifice [Heaven Measuring Ruler], but unfortunately he didn't have enough Five-Element Essence on hand, so he had to give up.

At this moment, it was just dawn, Song Changsheng opened the bamboo window, breathed in the fresh air, and thought about how to deal with the Rong Clan.

Although intercepting and killing Yu Chengbo and others would be of no harm to the Song Clan and Rong Clan, Rong Clan has always been arrogant and difficult to deal with.

A hundred years ago, Song Clan could still be on an equal footing with the Rong Clan, but now Song Clan no longer has Purple Mansion Great Cultivator, and is naturally one step lower than Rong Clan.

If you want to form an alliance with them, the other party will definitely not agree. They may even ridicule Song Changsheng and then be kicked out by them. The reason is simple: the status does not match.

"Oh, if it were someone else, why bother?" Song Changsheng sighed slightly, already having an idea in his mind.

"Qing Luo, the curfew in the city has been lifted now. Go back to the store and wait for Lineage's reply. Notify me as soon as you get it." Song Changsheng went downstairs and looked at Song Qingluo who was busy.

"As commanded."

After sending Song Qingluo away, Song Changsheng also walked towards the Dao Discussion Hall. After Birthday Banquet ended, Great City Lord would preach for three days, and today is the first day.

As a being who can sit down and discuss Tao with Golden Core True Person, Great City Lord's understanding of "Tao" has reached a level that ordinary people can only look up to.

Not only is it beneficial to juniors like Song Changsheng, but even those Purple Palace Cultivator will not miss such a rare opportunity.

Human Cultivation World There has been a saying that before Golden Core Stage, look at Spirit Root, but if you want to break through Golden Core Stage, you have to look at your understanding.

Because if you want to break through Golden Core Stage, it doesn't depend on how fast you practice, nor how good you Spirit Root are, but on your understanding of the "Tao".

Only when the understanding of "Tao" touches that level can we break through that layer of barriers and step into Golden Core Stage.

And this involves understanding. The higher the understanding, the easier it is to get in touch with that barrier. If you don't have enough understanding, even if you are Heavenly Spiritual Root, you can't even think about breaking through Golden Core.

Therefore, those first-rate big forces who recruit disciples don't actually care much about Spirit Root.

If a Heavenly Spiritual Root or Variant Spiritual Root monk appears in Great Qi Cultivation World, it will definitely cause competition among various forces, but for those first-rate forces, Heavenly Spiritual Root is just that.

Because they control abundant resources, as long as your understanding is high enough, even if Spirit Root is worse, they can quickly pile you up to Purple Palace Stage, and then break through Golden Core. The higher your understanding, the faster the process.

Otherwise, why do you think these Purple Palace Cultivator would often discuss the truth after posting on Heavenly Sound Mountain?

Supporting the younger generation is only one aspect. The most important thing is to promote one's own understanding of the "Tao". The same thing is true when listening to Great City Lord's sermons now. It is all to promote one's own understanding of the "Tao".

So Song Changsheng has always had a question. Great City Lord's understanding of "Tao" has far exceeded Purple Palace Stage. He himself has exceeded Purple Mansion Great Perfection for hundreds of years. Why has he not stepped into the Golden Core stage?

With the financial resources and foundation of Sunset City, it is not a problem for Great City Lord whether to go to [One-Origin Golden Core Path] or [Five-Element Golden Core Path]. And sitting on Fourth-Tier Spirit Vein, it can be said that Great City Lord has no problems that ordinary people need to face to break through Golden Core Stage.

The reason why it stopped at the Purple Mansion, Song Changsheng guessed that the other party probably didn't want to break through, but the reason was not known to outsiders.

Purple Palace Cultivator's lifespan is generally five hundred years. Great City Lord just celebrated his four-hundredth birthday yesterday, which means he still has about a hundred years of lifespan. If he adds some treasures that can increase his lifespan, his lifespan will be even more. Great City Lord still has plenty of time.

"What are you waiting for?" Song Changsheng lowered his head and pondered.

"Okay, that's it for today, and we will continue tomorrow." Great City Lord's gentle voice sounded, and Song Changsheng was shocked to realize that today's sermon was over.

He quickly stood up and bowed his hands with everyone. "Thank you Great City Lord for your teaching."

He only listened to the first half of today's sermon. After that, he was basically in a state of wandering, just like he had been absent from class before.

It's not that he doesn't know how to cherish this rare opportunity due to the relapse of his old illness, but the level of Great City Lord is too high. He can only understand the first half, and the second half is almost like a holy book to him.

If you don't understand, you still have to memorize it by rote. This is meaningless behavior in Song Changsheng's opinion. If you don't understand it the first time, you won't understand it ten times again.

Because you haven't reached that level yet.

Song Changsheng doesn't know how much other people can understand, but he can only understand half of it. Even so, he has benefited a lot and has some understanding of "Tao".

"The reply from Lineage should have arrived. Let's go meet Qing Luo first." After stretching his waist, Song Changsheng walked out of the hall.

"Fellow Daoist Song, how was your harvest today?"

Song Changsheng looked back and found that Zhuang Yuechan was following him. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Great City Lord is indeed Foremost Below the Golden Core Stage. I have benefited a lot."

"Although I have practiced under Master for many years and have listened to the content of this sermon countless times, I still cannot fully understand it." Zhuang Yuechan sighed slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuang don't be discouraged. Great City Lord is an existence that can sit down and discuss the truth with Golden Core True Person. Our realms are too far apart. Just like primary school students listening to college students' courses, it is not easy to understand part of it."

"What is a primary school student and what is a college student?" Zhuang Yuechan frowned and thought. She was well-read, but she had never heard of these two terms.

Song Changsheng was stunned for a moment before he remembered that these two terms were very unfamiliar to people in this world. Seeing that Zhuang Yuechan was showing signs of continuing to ask questions, he quickly laughed and said:

"It's not important. The general meaning is that what Great City Lord said is too profound for us. It's good to be able to understand part of it. I can only understand half of the content, which has given me a new understanding of my own Tao."

Zhuang Yuechan Before he could speak, he heard a familiar voice in his ear. "You are just bragging and not drafting. I can only understand one-tenth of it. You said you can understand half of it, it's a joke!"

Song Changsheng turned around and saw two people standing not far away, one old and one young. The old man's aura was restrained, but he felt like a rough sea that could swallow him up at any time.

The other person was about thirty, holding Folding Fan in his hand, with fair skin, bright eyes and white teeth. If it weren't for the airport on his chest and the Adam's apple in his throat, he would never have thought that this was a man in front of him, because he was more beautiful than many women Song Changsheng had seen. He was the one who just made fun of Song Changsheng.

I have met this person Song Changsheng once before, and he had a conflict with me because of Zhuang Yuechan's matter.

Song Changsheng ignored him, but bowed his hand to the old man and said, "Junior Song Changsheng, pay my respects to senior Vast Sea."

Vast Sea Loose Cultivator didn't have a good reputation, and he was known to be petty, but seeing that Song Changsheng was so polite and thoughtful, he couldn't find any fault with it. He slightly nodded and said, "You don't have to be polite, little friend. You said you understood half of the content of today's sermon?"

Song Changsheng said without hesitation, "That was a junior's act of boasting in front of his friends, which made the seniors laugh."

"Tsk, I knew you were bragging." Hai Dongping gently shook Folding Fan in his hand, with an expression that said I had already seen through everything.

"You're young, it's better to be down-to-earth, Dongping, let's go." Vast Sea Loose Cultivator has no doubt about him. After all, he can only understand less than half of the content. In his heart, he doesn't think what Song Changsheng said is true. Since Song Changsheng has taken the initiative to admit it, there is no need to waste time. He is just a junior.

He left directly with Hai Dongping as if he had won a battle.

After the two of them walked away, Zhuang Yuechan chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Song's head is spinning very fast. With Vast Sea Loose Cultivator's temper, if you stick to what you said before, you might have some trouble today."

Song Changsheng blinked at her, smiled and said, "How can you be sure that what I told you is the truth? What if I was really bragging before?"

"Yuechan, Fellow Daoist Song's character is still clear. Although I am surprised that you have half understood it, it is not unacceptable."

Song Changsheng was stunned, this feeling of being trusted was really good.

At first, he didn't know what level half-comprehension was. He thought everyone was about the same, so he said it without thinking.

When Hai Dongping said that he had only understood one-tenth of it, he realized that he seemed to be pretending to be a big 13 invisibly. Hai Dongping, as Vast Sea Loose Cultivator's direct disciple, naturally had no bad qualifications.

He can only understand one-tenth of it. If he says he has understood half of it, isn't it just like bragging?

Just like Zhuang Yuechan said, in view of Vast Sea Loose Cultivator's character, Song Changsheng decisively changed his tone of voice to avoid trouble, and now it seems to be working well.

"Fellow Daoist Song's understanding is truly astonishing. The first time I listened to Master's sermon, I only understood three-tenths of it. Master praised me for my outstanding understanding. I was very proud of myself at the time, but it was far behind compared to Daoist Song." Zhuang Yuechan said sincerely.

"Young Clan Head."

Song Changsheng was about to reply when he saw Song Qingluo walking over in a hurry. After seeing Zhuang Yuechan on the side, he hesitated to speak.

Zhuang Yuechan observed their words and saw that the two of them had something important to say, so he immediately took the initiative and said, "It's getting late, Yuechan still needs to go back to consolidate what he has gained today, so he will leave first."

"Fellow Daoist Zhuang Please, see you tomorrow."

After Zhuang Yuechan left, Song Qingluo put a crystal into his hand and said, "Lineage reply."

Song Changsheng didn't shy away from it and directly crushed the crystal into pieces, sending a message straight to his Sea of Consciousness.

As he expected, Lineage agreed very much with his plan, but what surprised him a little was that Old Master actually wanted to take action personally this time.

"With Grandfather and Great Elder taking action together, the combat power is already on par with Yu Chengbo and others. As long as Rong Clan is brought on board, this matter is basically a sure thing."

"Take my token to the Rong Clan's residence and ask Rong Shaoyuan to come out and talk." Song Changsheng handed his Young Clan Head Waist Token to Song Qingluo.

Originally it would have been better for him to visit in person, but if he went he would be too conspicuous and could easily arouse Blazing Sun Sect's vigilance, which would be unsightly...

"Song Changsheng?" Rong Shaoyuan sat cross-legged on Jade Bed and frowned slightly when he heard the visitor's report.

"Exactly, the person who came here has Waist Token in his hand as evidence, and I asked you to explain it." The servant respectfully handed over Song Changsheng and Waist Token.

Rong Shaoyuan took a glance and then withdrew his gaze. He believed that no one would deceive him with such a thing, but what made him curious was why the other party wanted to see him by name.

Although they had met several times, they had never communicated, let alone had any friendship.

"It's okay, so it's okay to go and see him." Rong Shaoyuan finally decided to go. In his opinion, although Song Changsheng was from a low background, he was extremely talented and was famous all over the world. Blazing Sun Sect was considered a figure and worthy of his visit.

In a Four-Corner Pavilion outside Bamboo Building, Song Changsheng has prepared food and drinks, quietly waiting for Rong Shaoyuan to arrive.

Originally, this kind of matter should be discussed with the elders of the Rong family who came this time, but Song Changsheng knew what kind of people the Rong family was, and he would probably return without success, so he planned to take a detour.

Rong Shaoyuan is one of the most outstanding young people in the Rong Clan. Although he has not yet grasped real power, he has a high status. The same words spoken from his mouth have two different effects than those spoken by Song Changsheng.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Rong to bear with me." Seeing Song Qingluo bringing the person over, Song Changsheng immediately put on a smile and greeted him.

Rong Shaoyuan cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Song invited me, is there any reason why Mr. Rong shouldn't come?"

The two of them sat down in the pavilion, looking at the exquisite dishes and the heart-melting Spirit Wine, Rong Shaoyuan chuckled and said, "Tell me why Daoist Master Song called Rong here."

Since the other party is so direct, Song Changsheng naturally can no longer hide it. He picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Rong to come. Naturally, I have something to discuss. I would like to ask, how is the battle situation with Spirit Stone Vein that you and Blazing Sun Sect are fighting for?"

When Rong Shaoyuan heard it, his expression immediately became cold. In the past few years, a miniature Spirit Stone Vein was discovered in the border area between Yang Province and Xiangzhou.

Needless to say, the value of a piece of Spirit Stone Vein caused a fight between the Blazing Sun Sect and Rong Clan. This fight lasted for several years. Although both sides were very restrained, over such a long time, the losses of both sides were not small, and there were already signs of intensification.

The war is estimated to be within the last month or two, but Rong Clan is restricted by other places at the moment. Once it develops into a full-scale conflict, it will inevitably suffer. This is something that Rong Clan's senior leaders have been worried about recently.

Hearing Song Changsheng mention this matter, Rong Shaoyuan thought he was amusing himself, and felt a little dissatisfied.

Song Changsheng already knew the answer by looking at his face, and said with a faint smile, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask Fellow Daoist Rong, do you want to win?"

Rong Shaoyuan felt that it was a mistake to come out today, so he resisted the urge to walk away and sneered, "Do you have any idea?"

"If Yu Chengbo and Mao Wuwei are killed, I wonder how much the winning rate of the Rong Clan can be increased?"
