The war has just ended, Song Clan once again climbed out of Abyss, and the five-hundred-year-old foundation has been passed down. This is gratifying, but it is far from the time to relax.
What was left of Vast Peak after the war was devastation and an intractable mess.
Now Great Elder is seriously injured and in critical condition, Patriarch is exhausted and comatose, and has suddenly lost two of its pillars. Song Clan has entered the most critical moment in the past five hundred years, and there is a risk of capsizing if not careful.
In desperation, Song Changsheng, who had just returned from Xuzhou, had to stand up and take the lead.
He took the lead in taking over the control of Clan Protecting Array, and then mobilized a batch of Spirit Stone from Treasure Vault to supplement the energy consumed by [Black Star Battleship].
Now that Song Xianming has not yet woken up, this Quasi Sky Battleship is currently the most powerful combat force of the Song Clan, so it must be ensured that it is always at its peak.
Then, he sent all Wind Whisper Hall's spies out, not only to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation, but also to find out the current situation of Ling Province.
He also asked his mother Xia Yunxue to lead the remaining Law Enforcement Disciple to collect the corpses of the clansmen, clean the battlefield, and count the war losses. It was already the next day that the whole process was completed.
Immediately afterwards, Song Changsheng held a high-level meeting of Lineage without stopping...
Within the Council Hall of Hall of General Affairs.
Song Changsheng stared with a pair of red and swollen eyes, looking very haggard, but he still managed to keep his spirits up and said in a hoarse voice, "The clan meeting will begin now. Today's topic is mainly about the post-war settlement. Please speak freely."
Because Patriarch and Great Elder were unconscious, Song Luyao and Song Luhai fell, and Song Changxuan guarded Mortal World, so there are only a few people participating in the meeting, such as Song Luzhou, Xia Yunxue, Song Lutong, Song Chang'an.
Song Clan's backbone was severely damaged.
After hearing Song Changsheng's words, Song Luzhou, as the eldest and highest-ranking elder among the elders present, slowly stood up. His figure was much thinner than before and looked around at all Human Dao:
"Although Lineage won this battle, it was a miserable victory.
According to statistics, fifty-eight members of the Qi Condensation clan died, 19 were seriously injured, and 129 were slightly injured. Third Elder Song Luyao, Fourth Elder Song Luhai died one after another, and Great Elder was seriously injured.
Clan Protecting Array has one part Formation Eye damaged, and Formation Base is more than half damaged and needs repair. Third-Tier Spirit Vein also suffered a lot of damage, and it will take at least ten years to recover.
It consumes one Third-Tier mid-level Attack Talisman, two Third Tier Low-Grade Attack Talisman, five Second Tier Peak-Grade Talismans, and nearly thirty second-level Talismans.
Medicinal Pills, Formation Flags and other materials are not counted..."
Data came out from Song Luzhou's mouth one after another, and his heart was bleeding. Lineage had lost all the little information he had accumulated over the past twenty years in one battle.
After his words fell, everyone's hearts were heavy. Compared with the loss of materials, the loss of talents was more heartbreaking.
The casualties in this battle were close to 200 people. For the Song Clan, who had a small population, this was undoubtedly a painful blow and it would take a long time to recover.
Among the two fallen elders, Song Luyao is Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, and Song Luhai is Foundation Establishment Middle Stage monk, but he is Lineage's only Second-Tier High Grade Talisman Master.
Talismans has always been the shortcoming of Lineage. Song Luhai fell and Lineage had no successor. The losses caused are inestimable.
After Song Luzhou finished speaking, Xia Yunxue continued, "The battlefield has been cleaned. It is roughly estimated that nearly twenty second-level Demon Wolf and nearly a thousand First-Tier Demon Wolf were killed in this battle, and a large amount of fur, teeth, and claws were harvested.
The most valuable among them are Demon Core, fur, bones and other materials on Great Demon.
In addition, Cultivation Family in the Moon-Gazing Mountain Range also suffered a devastating blow, and the losses were very heavy, leaving a large amount of Spirit Mountain and mineral veins..."
After she reported the results of this battle, Song Lutong said angrily, "The spies came back with news that the battle between the Wuling Sect and Liuyun Sect has not yet been decided. What should we do next?"
After listening to everyone's reports, Song Changsheng felt like his head was going to explode. These were all things that required him to make decisions.
After thinking for a moment, Song Changsheng said in a deep voice, "Liuyun Mountain Range put it aside for now. Lineage's top priority now is to treat the wounded and repair Clan Protecting Array. I am responsible for this.
In order to protect their homeland, the tribesmen sacrificed their lives and blood, and Lineage cannot forget their contribution. They must be compensated and rewarded according to Clan Rules. This is left to my mother.
Lineage's backbone combat power has suffered heavy losses and needs to be replenished immediately. This is left to Fifth Uncle. Please use Third-Tier Demon Core to start the alchemy furnace immediately. Lineage can mobilize all resources at your disposal.
Lineage has suffered heavy losses in this battle. We must prevent Xiao Xiaoxiao from taking the opportunity to cause chaos, Song Lutong Clan Uncle temporarily withdraw Law Enforcement Hall, patrol Lineage, and punish lawbreakers..."
Song Changsheng quickly arranged the next things. After everyone took their orders and left, he sat alone in the Council Hall and was silent for a long time, and then he gathered his energy and rushed to Hall of Hundred Arts.
Currently, all the wounded in Lineage are placed in Hall of Hundred Arts. As soon as Song Changsheng stepped in, he smelled a strong smell of medicine and pungent smell of blood.
All Lineage doctors and Alchemist have been mobilized, but the number is still too small. Everyone is so busy that they hit the back of their heads and wish they could grow eight hands.
Song Changsheng did not alert them and went straight to Song Xianyun's bed. His injuries were the most serious and he was still unconscious.
Seeing the elder who had always loved him lying on the couch angrily, Song Changsheng's eyes felt a little sore. He held his withered palm, and a burst of green light appeared, and the room was suddenly filled with life.
Having mastered [Light of Revival], he can treat injuries faster and more conveniently.
After half an hour of Changda's treatment, Song Xianyun's condition was much better than before, and his frown was relaxed a little, but he was still in a coma.
At this point, there is nothing Song Changsheng can do. After all, Secret Art is not restricted, and the rest has to be nursed back to health with drugs.
After lighting a furnace [Calming Incense] for him, Song Changsheng slowly retreated and came to Song Xianming's room.
Old Master was not injured at all, but was in a coma due to excessive consumption. Song Changsheng had no choice but to give him a little Spiritual Power, and then went to treat the other wounded.
Tianxia Song Changsheng was exhausted physically and mentally from the first Tianxia, but he couldn't rest now, so he returned to Hall of General Affairs to deal with the piled up errands.
The one on top was submitted by Song Luzhou. He applied to mobilize a batch of spirit medicine from Treasure Vault. Song Changsheng knew at a glance that it was an auxiliary medicine for refining [Foundation Establishment Pill] and was of great value. He waved Vermilion Brush and immediately agreed.
At present, Lineage really needs to cultivate new Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Fortunately, a Demon Core was seized this time, which can be used to refine [Foundation Establishment Pill].
With Demon Core as the main drug, the quality of Medicinal Pills is slightly inferior to [Foundation Establishment Fruit] [Dragon Blood Ginseng] [Star Tempering Fruit]. The three major spirit medicine are refined as the main drug.
But for future considerations, Song Changsheng only allows Song Luzhou to be refined with Demon Core.
Although there is Pill Formula, Song Luzhou has never refined [Foundation Establishment Pill] before, so no one knows how much it can turn into elixir this time.
To measure whether a Alchemist's skills are superb, in addition to the quality of the Medicinal Pills, quantity is also a major criterion.
From one material, you need to refine three Medicinal Pills to get started.
Song Changsheng's psychological expectation is three, which is exactly the same as the material value.
The second one was handed over by Xia Yunxue. Regarding the pension and rewards for monk Lineage, the total amount would cost at least one hundred thousand Spirit Stone.
For the current Song Clan, this is a large expenditure.
But Song Changsheng didn't hesitate and agreed directly. Whether it was for morale or people's hearts, this money must be spent.
But then he started to have a headache again. As soon as the money was spent, more than half of the supplies and Spirit Stone previously obtained from the Four-Clan Alliance pit had been consumed.
Next, repairing the magic circle, raising Spirit Vein, etc. will cost a lot of money.
Song Changsheng couldn't help but put down his pen and slumped on the seat. Money, money is needed everywhere, where can he get this money?
"Those Demon Beast materials are quite valuable. If they could be realized, they would be worth no less than two hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones. But now Sunset City is still surrounded by Demon Beast, and Market is gone. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it in a while."
Song Changsheng sighed in his heart. If this batch of Demon Beast materials cannot be sold now, when Sunset City defeats Beast Tide, the value will definitely depreciate greatly. This is something he cannot accept in his heart.
At this moment, he had an idea and took out a silver plaque from his pocket. It was given to him by Peng Siying among Black Market. Not only could he get help from the Wanlong Merchant Association, but he could also enjoy a 30% discount.
"Yeah, why don't I go to the Wanlong Merchant Association for a walk?" Playing with the VIP Token in his hand, Song Changsheng suddenly felt enlightened. With the size of the Wanlong Merchant Association, eating this amount of material was a piece of cake.
But the only problem now is that Wanlong Merchant Association's latest branch is Yuanzhou, thousands of miles away. He now needs to take charge of Lineage and cannot leave lightly.
As for the rest of the people who were not cultivated enough, he was worried, so he could only hold back for the time being and wait until he was free to go...
Before dawn, Song Changsheng took the few remaining Array Masters from Lineage to repair Clan Protecting Array. It was said to be a repair, but in fact it was just a patch.
After all, this is the Third-Tier mid-level formation, and their Array attainments are not enough...
Song Changsheng was like a top that was wound up, spinning continuously for three days. Almost one person carried the banner of Lineage, which made him physically and mentally exhausted, and his whole person suffered a lot.
On this day, a person brought him exciting news.
The person who reported the news was named Song Qinghua. He was only twenty-five years old, but he was already First-Tier Peak Grade Alchemist. He was the person with the best alchemy talent among the younger generation. He usually took care of the unconscious Song Xianming.
Song Qinghua was dressed in white, with a sense of arrogance between his brows. He kept his gaze steady along the way, came to Hall of General Affairs and bowed to Song Changsheng: "Young Clan Head, Patriarch is awake."
Song Changsheng, who was busy writing, was shocked. This was really the best news he had heard in the past few days. He quickly stopped what he was doing and followed Song Qinghua to Hall of Hundred Arts...
Song Xianming had already gotten out of bed. He was listening to a deacon reporting Lineage's situation to him. His eyes were a little red, and he had obviously shed tears.
Seeing Song Changsheng coming, he waved his hand to ask the deacon to step back, then sighed and said, "Fortunately, you came back in time, otherwise, Lineage would have been in danger."
Song Changsheng was a little silent when he heard this, and then said sadly, "My grandson only regrets that he did not fight side by side with the clan during Lineage's critical moment. If I had come back earlier, Jiu Gu and Eleventh Uncle might not have..."
"Alas... Shi Ye Ming Ye, what does it have to do with you? I just hate that I am not strong enough. If I had Purple Mansion cultivation, how could I let that beast be so cruel!" Song Xianming said in a hateful voice.
Song Changsheng There is only silence. This battle really comes at the wrong time.
"I have some insights from this battle. I will be in seclusion in the near future. Life and death are uncertain. Lineage is in your hands. I know all about your arrangements. You have done a good job. Lineage is in your hands. Grandfather is very relieved."
Song Xianming patted Song Changsheng on the shoulder, and his tone was full of relief. The little boy before had finally grown into a towering tree and could take on heavier responsibilities.
"My grandson will definitely live up to your wishes." Song Changsheng didn't hesitate any longer this time. Lineage really needed a Purple Palace Cultivator, but he couldn't help Song Xianming. What he could do now was to take good care of Lineage so that he would have no worries.
Song Xianming nodded with satisfaction and took out two things from his Storage Bag, a net and an emerald green soft whip.
"[Heavenly Net] I have re-refined it for you, and the grade is barely maintained at Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact. And this soft whip, named [Demon Binding Rope], is refined from the Vine Whip of the Law Spirit Fruit you brought back, and is Third Tier Low-Grade.
Because the material is special, quite spiritual, and good for life, when you break through the Purple Mansion in the future, you can refine it into Law Treasure.
I know you have many treasures on your body, but you must remember that the treasures are only for help, and you must not put the cart before the horse and waste your cultivation..." Song Xianming rambled on in a serious and thoughtful manner, as if he was arranging his own funeral arrangements.
Song Changsheng felt a little uncomfortable, and solemnly held his hands in his hands and said, "My grandson, please remember this."
Song Xianming nodded, and then said sadly, "You can preside over the funerals of Luyao and Lu Huai on my behalf. They will be very happy under Jiuquan."
Hearing this, Song Changsheng felt a little tight in his chest. These two elders loved him the most and treated him like a son, but now Yin-Yang were separated from each other, and even the corpses could not be left behind.
"My grandson... I obey." Song Changsheng lowered his head and bowed...
After finishing the posthumous affairs, Song Xianming formally held a meeting and announced a retreat to attack Purple Mansion.
During this period, Song Changsheng will temporarily take charge of all affairs of Lineage on behalf of Patriarch. If unfortunately his breakthrough fails, Song Changsheng will officially succeed Patriarch and lead Lineage to continue moving forward.
Everyone was dissatisfied with his decision. After all, Song Changsheng's ability was obvious to all. Moreover, within Lineage, his prestige was second only to Song Xianming, and everyone at Lineage was willing to obey his orders.
Two days after Song Xianming went into seclusion, Song Changsheng notified the entire clan to officially hold funerals for Song Luyao, Song Luhai and the clan members who died during the war...
