Only after hearing Madam Hong's words did Song Zhong realize that Shuijin's faction was actually so powerful in the Xuantian Dao Sect. He couldn't help but have thoughts of hugging their thighs. But very quickly, a man's pride made him give up on that idea. In the end, he decided to let fate take its course. In any case, he definitely wouldn't take the initiative to curry favor with others.
After talking about these trivial matters, Song Zhong asked about the Great Shadow's situation. Only now did he know that the Great Shadow was currently in seclusion trying to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage. Hearing this news, Song Zhong was truly shocked. It had to be known that Song Zhong and the Great Shadow had only parted ten years ago. At that time, the Great Shadow was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage. Even Shuijin had only reached the mid Foundation Establishment stage with his help. She still needed a few more years before she could break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage. But he didn't expect that the Great Shadow would cultivate so quickly while in seclusion. She had actually reached the late Foundation Establishment stage. If she continued to develop like this, she would probably be able to advance to the Jin Dan stage in another ten years. As for normal people, this process would take a hundred years! The gap between them was a little too big.
However, after Madam Hong's explanation, SongZhong had a rough idea of the whole story. It turned out that Song Zhong wasn't the only one who had a fortuitous encounter. The Great Shadow was also the same. After she had arrived, she had immediately caused a sensation. Not only was her talent shocking, she could be said to be a genius rarely seen in a thousand years. Even her foundation was extremely good. After all, she was raised by a Nascent Soul cultivator from the womb. Other than that, she also had a spirit treasure, the Phoenix Crying Blade. This made her stand out even more. Even in the Xuantian Dao Sect which was filled with geniuses, she was an outstanding figure amongst her peers. She even far surpassed her peers.
This kind of talent naturally attracted the attention of many high level cultivators. That was because once their sect managed to raise a Void Refinement stage cultivator, it would bring them great benefits. So in a short period of time, the number of Spirit Severing cultivators who wanted to take the Great Shadow as a disciple reached five!
With regards to a genius like the Great Shadow, the Hong Family would normally not keep and nurture her. No matter what, she was still a member of the Hong Clan. Thus, instead of wasting manpower and resources to nurture her, it would be better to give her to someone else to nurture and let her master worry about this matter. In this way, the Hong Family saved resources and even used the Great Shadow's master-disciple relationship to gain an ally.
It just so happened that the Great Shadow was in high demand, so the Hong Family arranged everything and found a good master for her. This Spirit Severing Stage expert was naturally very happy and vowed to nurture a genius. Under his nurturing, HongYing would be able to eat good food every few days. Naturally, her cultivation speed would increase by leaps and bounds. Therefore, she didn't have to worry about the speed at which her magic power increased. As long as her realm could keep up, her strength would be greatly improved in a short period of time.
What was especially worth noting was that when the Great Shadow and Song Zhong were together, they drank a lot of Dao Comprehending Tea. Although the two of them were ignorant at that time, they still benefited a lot and comprehended many truths of heaven and earth. As a result, the Great Shadow's realm was far above her strength. It was also because of this that his master dared to use spirit medicine to help her increase her magic power without worrying about the side effects.
Knowing that the Great Shadow was doing well, Song Zhong was also happy for her. Since she was in seclusion now, Song Zhong didn't want to disturb her. In any case, he only wanted to give the Dragoncry Sword to the Great Shadow. This matter wasn't urgent.
Following which, the Hong couple invited SongZhong to have a meal. Only then did they arrange a luxurious residence for him to rest for a while and wait for news from them. As for Scholar Ecstasy, the Hong Family couple was in charge of locking him up.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a dozen days passed.
On this day, Song Zhong was meditating when he was called over by the Hong Family couple. After meeting them, he discovered that they were standing outside and were about to set off.
Madame Hong waved her hand at Song Zhong and said, "Let's go, child. I'll take you to see the market. Today, we must make the Huo Family lose face!"
"Yes!" Song Zhong naturally wouldn't object and immediately agreed. Thus, the three of them flew together. Before long, the three of them arrived at an exquisite courtyard and saw a hale and hearty old man in azure robes.
After the Hong Family couple introduced him, Song Zhong learned that this smiling old man was the patriarch of this branch of the Hong Family, as well as the master of this temple, Hong Tengfei. He was known as the Thousand Shadow Divine Sword.
Hong Tengfei was very polite to Song Zhong. After a few words of encouragement, he led the three of them straight to the main hall of the Xuantian Supermonastery.
A few minutes later, the four of them arrived at a magnificent hall. Under the guidance of the cultivators here, they entered a meeting room that occupied an area of several acres.
There were already seven people here. Besides Plum Blossom, who Song Zhong already knew, the others were all Severed Soul cultivators. He even recognized three of them. They were the three people who had come to the Xuantian Monastery to inspect. They had given Song Zhong a lot of good things, especially the Blood River Pattern. It could be said that without this thing, Song Zhong would have died ten thousand times over.
Seeing SongZhong again, the three of them had different reactions. The two of them who received the Dao Comprehending Tea were naturally all smiles. As for the one who returned empty-handed, he glared at SongZhong, obviously still angry in his heart. As for Celestial MeiHua, she smiled at SongZhong as a form of greeting.
Most of the other cultivators were silent. After sizing up Song Zhong a few times, they closed their eyes and continued to rest. Only one person was wearing a fiery red Daoist robe. He was glaring at Song Zhong with a murderous look, as if he had a grudge with Song Zhong.
SongZhong felt goosebumps all over his body. As Madam Hong saw that, she hurriedly pulled SongZhong aside and whispered, "This is the Hall Master of the Raging Inferno Shrine, Huo Qiu. He is also the father of Daoist HuoLong and Huo QingYun. You even crippled his son and drove his daughter crazy. Naturally, he hates you. Don't lower yourself to his level. "
This was clearly an important place of the sect. The people who came in didn't dare to say a word. Even when greeting them, they just nodded. Even the Hong couple could only send voice transmissions secretly, afraid that someone would hear them.
Song Zhong was a smart person, so he naturally didn't dare to act presumptuously here. He quickly nodded to show that he understood and didn't say anything else. He stood behind Hong Tengfei with the Hong couple and didn't see Huo Qiu at that time.
Huo Qiu was extremely annoyed by Song Zhong and the Hong couple's attitude of ignoring him, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous here. He could only suppress his anger and hold it in. Because of his existence, a strange atmosphere gradually filled the hall. Many people were waiting to see the good show between the Hong and Huo families.
About a quarter of an hour later, the clear sound of a cloud board was heard. Immediately, everyone stood up and bowed their heads respectfully. In the next moment, a shriveled old man who didn't seem to have woken up abruptly appeared on the main seat. There were so many FenShen experts present, but none of them saw how he appeared! If it wasn't for the strange way he appeared, they might really think that he was an ordinary mortal just by looking at his appearance.
There was no need to ask. This black robed old man was the head of the Mysterious Sky Branch. He was a Void Refinement cultivator and was known as the Water God.
After Shui Haolong arrived, his eyes were still hazy, as if he had just woken up. Everyone saluted and greeted him. He didn't say anything and only gently raised his hand. All the hall masters expressed their thanks and sat down. As for the Hong couple and Song Zhong, they could only stand.
At this time, Shui Haolong lazily raised his head and gently glanced at Song Zhong. It was a seemingly casual glance, but it made Song Zhong shudder. It was as if he had fallen into a stormy sea in an instant. There was a vast ocean everywhere and he could only struggle in the water.
Fortunately, Song Zhong's mind was firm. He knew that this was an illusion created by Shui Haolong's aura, so he forcefully guarded his mind. Other than his face being slightly pale, he didn't make a fool of himself. If it was a person with a weak mind, he might have already shouted for help!
Shui Haolong's glance didn't make Song Zhong panic. He couldn't help but nod his head, seemingly satisfied. Then, he said unhurriedly, "We have been discussing the matter of Song Zhong re-entering the sect for too long. We must come to a conclusion today! "After saying that, he directly closed his eyes and his head drooped down. He actually fell asleep on the spot.
Seeing this, Song Zhong couldn't help but be speechless. He thought to himself, 'You're already asleep, what's the point of discussing?'
Clearly, Song Zhong didn't understand the rules here. Although Shui Haolong had fallen asleep, the meeting could still continue. The Raging Flame Divine Palace's palace master, Huo Qiu, directly slammed the table and fiercely said, "A married daughter is like spilled water. Since he has already been expelled from the sect, how can we take him back? If news of this spread, wouldn't people laugh at the grand Xuantian Dao Sect for going back on its word?"
"Hmph, what nonsense are you spouting?" The Sword Sect's palace master, Hong Tengfei, rudely cursed, "Isn't the reason Song Zhong was expelled from the sect because of your little bastard? "Now everyone knows that Song Zhong was wronged, and the fault lies with you. Not only do you not know your wrongs, but you even made them worse. If news of this spread, people would laugh at the Xuantian Dao Sect for being a bunch of muddle-headed insects!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Huo Qiu was flustered and exasperated. "That damn fatty is just a low level disciple. He's so daring and unreasonable. Wasn't he the one who destroyed the Xuantian Monastery's moving property? Just based on this, it wouldn't be excessive to kill him. Expelling him from the sect is already the smallest punishment! Even the heavens wouldn't be able to protect that little bastard! "
"Hmph! You really know how to twist black and white! " Sneered Hong Tengfei. "The reason he destroyed the Moving Building was because you wanted to force him to his death. He had no choice but to do it. Did you think he should be killed by you without being able to fight back? "
"Of course!" Huo Qiu arrogantly said, "My Xuantian Dao Sect is a righteous sect. It is a place with rules. As the saying goes, a master's orders are like a mountain. "As the monastery head, even if Huolong was wrong, he still had the qualifications to capture Song Zhong. Even if Song Zhong was wronged, he still had to respectfully obey his master's orders. That's a good child who respects his master. "But he actually rebelled! If we don't punish him, how can my Xuantian Dao Sect still have rules? "
The Raging Flame Divine Palace's palace master Huo Qiu's words immediately caused quite a few people to nod in response. They clearly also believed that respecting one's master was the most important thing. If a disciple didn't follow his master's orders, that was a major crime. It definitely couldn't be tolerated.
However, Hong Tengfei didn't seem the slightest bit nervous. He smiled slightly. "Hahaha, your words are reasonable, but unfortunately, they can't be used here!"
"Oh?" Huo Qiu immediately raged, "Why can't they be used here?"
"Because when Song Zhong destroyed the Moving Building, he was no longer a member of the Xuantian Monastery!" Hong Tengfei said calmly, "A few years ago, that bastard from your family expelled him from the sect on the grounds that he was a spy for the demonic beasts. Thus, SongZhong was not a disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect at that time. Thus, there was no need to talk about going against the sect's orders!"
"This …" Huo Qiu was speechless after hearing this. He had never thought that the order to expel him from the sect would become the basis for Song Zhong to escape punishment.
Seeing that Huo Qiu was mute, Hong Tengfei felt a sense of delight in his heart. He then continued, "Everyone, Song Zhong is a talent, a talent who has been wronged. "In the past, he was a bit excessive, especially when he destroyed the Xuantian Monastery's Moving Building and the Jade Pearl Pavilion. Those were all wrong. "However, he was wronged in the first place, and taking revenge for his parents is the natural order of the world. So his mistakes can be pardoned. Now, SongZhong has already turned over a new leaf and is willing to return to the sect. As his elders, how can we stop him from doing good just because of our own selfishness? "
The surrounding people involuntarily nodded when they heard that. They were clearly moved by Hong Tengfei's words.
However, Huo Qiu still didn't give up. He hastily said, "Song Zhong destroyed the Moving Building. Are we just going to let this matter rest?"
"Hmph!" Hong Tengfei immediately said angrily, "Don't keep saying that the Moving Building was destroyed by him. Ask everyone here, is your Huo family responsible for this matter? Or is Song Zhong responsible for it? "
At this time, the silent Plum Blossom's expression suddenly became serious. She angrily said, "Huolong Daoist's actions are perverse. He should bear eighty percent of the responsibility! Song Zhong should only bear twenty percent! "
Although Plum Blossom's strength was the lowest, not even a Spirit Severing cultivator, her status here was extremely high. Take the seat here for example. She was right next to Dean Shui Meng Meng, and was the second seat. It could be seen her position in the Xuantian Supermonastery!
So when she spoke, she immediately attracted the attention of others. Although those people didn't express it clearly, they all used all sorts of ambiguous gazes to express their support for Celestial MeiHua. In an instant, Huo Qiu was isolated.
Huo Qiu immediately panicked and hastily said, "Martial niece Plum, I know you're angry with my family, but at this time, you have to consider the big picture. For someone as lawless as SongZhong, we definitely cannot allow him to return to the sect! "
"Hmph!" Plum Blossom coldly snorted. "Many thanks for your reminder, martial uncle Huo. But those words should be said to yourself. If you're really thinking about the big picture, thinking about the Xuantian Dao Sect, then don't block a talent from entering the sect because of your personal grudges! "
"Talent?" Huo Qiu immediately disdainfully said, "According to what I know, Song Zhong's talent is a rare piece of trash that only appears once every ten thousand years. He's completely balanced with the five elements! "Such a fellow is just relying on his good luck to obtain a few treasures. That's the only reason he can be so arrogant for a while. As for his future, he has no future!"
Celestial MeiHua ignored him and said indifferently, "SongZhong's future is limitless. That's all I have to say, and I won't say anything more!" As she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and began to meditate.
Although Plum Blossom had closed her mouth, her words still gave the surrounding people a great shock. That was because they all knew that Plum Blossom knew Xiantian Plum Blossom's Plum Blossom Divination. Furthermore, she was afraid of revealing too many secrets, so she didn't easily open her mouth. But once she did open her mouth, she would definitely be a peerless genius.
Up until now, Plum Blossom had only evaluated two people. Those two people weren't particularly outstanding, but Plum Blossom had received special care from the sect. As a result, these two people had one fortuitous encounter after another and soared into the sky. They both became the best of the Jin Dan disciples. Many Spirit Severing experts asserted that they would at least be able to advance to the Spirit Severing stage in the future.
However, even for these two talents, Plum Blossom's evaluation was only 'extremely promising'. It couldn't be compared to Song Zhong's evaluation of 'limitless'!
Therefore, after Plum Blossom finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but look at Song Zhong. Even the sleeping Shui Hazy couldn't help but pause for a moment.
However, the Raging Fire Temple Master, Huo Qiu, obviously didn't want to give up. He sneered and said, "Martial Nephew's Plum Blossom Divination isn't omnipotent. There will always be times when it's wrong. For example, this Song Zhong, he clearly has a trash aptitude. How can he have a limitless future? Although he relies on some super treasures and can barely fight against some Nascent Soul stage cultivators, when faced with a Spirit Severing expert, didn't he run back in fear for help? Hmph, after provoking a disaster, you think of your sect. What were you doing earlier? "
After Song Zhong heard this, he immediately flew into a rage. He immediately wanted to jump up and curse this guy, then run away. Fortunately, Madam Hong's hands and eyes were quick. She hurriedly pulled him back and secretly advised, "Child, calm down, calm down. He's deliberately trying to provoke you to go out. You absolutely can't let his scheme succeed. "
"That's right!" Old man Hong also hurriedly pulled back Song Zhong. He secretly said, "You'll do whatever he tells you to do? Isn't that stupid? You have to go against him. The more he doesn't want you to join the Xuantian Dao Sect, the more you have to join. Only then can you anger that old bastard to death! "
After hearing the Hong couple's words, SongZhong immediately understood and hurriedly nodded his head. Then, he said hatefully, "Senior is right, I cannot let his scheme succeed!" As he said that, he did not want to be a busybody and stood there obediently.
At this time, Hong Tengfei suddenly sneered, "Aiyaya, I say, old brother Huo Qiu, you're wrong this time. Song Zhong won't care about the trouble brought by two Spirit Severing experts! "
"What?" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Huo Qiu's face was filled with disbelief. "What do you mean?"
"A few days ago, the Four Stars Dao Sect and the Thousand Desire Devil Sect each sent a Spirit Severing expert. Song Zhong captured the Thousand Desire Devil Sect's Scholar Mi Hun and released the Ice Soul Divine Maiden from the Four Stars Dao Sect." Hong Tengfei sneered. "Before returning this favor, the Four Stars Dao Sect definitely won't do anything to Song Zhong. Thus, Song Zhong's only problem now is the Thousand Desire Devil Sect. As long as he casually finds a Spirit World occupied by the Righteous path, he can live a carefree life. How could there be any trouble? "
"You, what nonsense are you saying?" Huo Qiu couldn't help cursing. "With just him, can he defeat a Spirit Severing expert? That's practically a fantasy! You're definitely boasting! "
The other cultivators also looked at Hong Tengfei with suspicion. They obviously didn't believe this. However, before Hong Tengfei could speak, Shui Mengmeng suddenly interrupted. "This is absolutely true. The disciples of the side hall have already passed this news to me. Furthermore, the people of the Four Stars Dao Sect have also informed me that they won't pursue Song Zhong's mistakes for the time being!"
"Ah!" Shui Mengmeng's words instantly caused a commotion. Huo Qiu's face was filled with disbelief.
Seeing this, Hong Tengfei couldn't help but sneer. "Everyone, even if you don't believe this news, you can still take a look at the captured Scholar Mi Hun! This should be irrefutable evidence, right? "
As he spoke, Hong Tengfei lightly shook and the unconscious Scholar Mi Hun was tossed out, allowing him to float in the air.
Most of the people present were Spirit Severing experts and had interacted with each other before. Thus, when they saw this person, they immediately recognized him and no longer had any doubts.
Huo Qiu was dumbfounded on the spot. After a long while, he asked in surprise, "How, how is this possible? Jin Dan Elixir captured a Spirit Severing cultivator alive? Who would believe this? "
"It's up to you to believe it or not. In any case, the truth is right in front of you!" Hong Tengfei said coldly. "In any case, from this matter, it can be seen that Song Zhong is indeed a rare talent and not the trash that someone said!"
These words were a slap to Huo Qiu's face. He was so embarrassed that his face turned red and he wished he could find a hole to hide in.
At this moment, Shui Mengmeng seemed to be unwilling to see Huo Qiu embarrassed. She suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Song Zhong is allowed to re-enter the sect and is given a second-grade immortal mansion. It will temporarily belong to the Sword Sect Divine Hall! Do you have any objections? "
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be shocked. Song Zhong didn't know what a second-grade immortal mansion meant. He couldn't help but secretly send a message to Madam Hong and ask, "Senior, what is a second-grade immortal mansion? Is it very powerful? Why do they all look so shocked? "
"A second-grade immortal mansion is a mansion that only Nascent Soul cultivators who have made great contributions can live in. The one that we live in is one. There are less than a hundred of these immortal mansions in the Xuantian Branch. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators can't even obtain one. I didn't expect you to occupy one. It can be seen how highly the sect master thinks of you! "Madam Hong said with a smile.
"Isn't it just a mansion?" Song Zhong said disapprovingly. "I am a person who is comfortable with the circumstances. It doesn't matter where I live!"
"Idiot!" Old man Hong couldn't help but scold. "Of course this isn't just a place to live. In fact, this is a symbol of identity and status. This means that from now on, you will enjoy the same treatment as us. Every year, you will be able to take spirit stones, pills and other materials for free. Moreover, you will be able to read all the books below the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion! In other words, you, a Jin Dan early stage rookie, has become a high ranking member of the Xuantian Branch! "
"How high?" Song Zhong couldn't help but ask proudly.
"Among the 100,000 disciples of the Xuantian Supermonastery, there are less than a hundred people with a higher status than you! Even Huolong Daoist is ranked behind you! "Old Man Hong smiled and said," You, kid, really soared to the sky with one bound this time! "
"Wow!" When Song Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "That's really not bad. However, why is sect master treating me so courteously?"
"Do you still need to ask? You captured Scholar Ecstasy Soul alive and made a great contribution. I can't not reward you. Furthermore, your future is very promising, so the sect master naturally has to treat you well. After all, this is a free favor! "
At this moment, Song Zhong finally understood these things.
However, although Shui Mengmeng had already announced it, Huo Qiu was still unwilling to give up. He angrily said, "Sect Master, I refuse to accept this. He's just Jin Dan Elixir and even made a huge mistake. Why should he be treated better than a Yuanying Stage cultivator? How can the people below be convinced? "
Generally speaking, as long as Shui Mengmeng announced a decision, it was equivalent to the matter being settled. He was only asking politely if there were any objections. In fact, he didn't have any intention of asking. Everyone knew this point, so normally, no one would dare to raise any objections at this time. However, Huo Qiu had continuously made a fool of himself this time, so he couldn't help but flare up.
In Shui Mengmeng's eyes, he didn't know what was good for him. Thus, he unhappily said, "If anyone dares to be unconvinced, you can tell him that as long as he can capture a FenShen Stage cultivator from the demonic sects, I will also give him a Second Rank Immortal Abode! If he doesn't have the ability, then it's better for him to obediently shut up! "After speaking, Shui Mengmeng flicked his sleeves and disappeared without a trace.
Obviously, everyone could tell that Shui Mengmeng's last sentence was directed at Huo Qiu. This showed that the sect master was also very dissatisfied with him. This made some people rejoice in his misfortune, especially Hong Tengfei. This old man laughed and said to Huo Qiu, "Did you hear that? The sect master asked someone to shut up!"
"You ~" Huo Qiu was almost angered to death by Hong Tengfei.
But Hong Tengfei knew when to stop and didn't give him a chance to flip out. He directly bid farewell to everyone and left with the Hong couple and Song Zhong.
After returning to his own territory, Hong Tengfei laughed heartily. Actually, although the Hong and Huo Clan's relationship wasn't harmonious in the past, it was still peaceful. At least on the surface, they respected each other. But after Song Zhong's parents' matter was exposed, the two clans completely fell out.
As a direct disciple, every cultivator valued him greatly. But in the end, he was killed by someone. To the Hong Clan, this was an absolute humiliation. If they couldn't even protect their own direct disciple, then how would they have the face to establish themselves here in the future? Which disciple would still work for them?
Everyone knew this, so after Hong Tengfei had furiously chopped off Huolong Daoist's arm, not only was he not punished, he was even praised by Hong Tengfei. And this time, he had viciously humiliated Huo Qiu, venting his anger.
In order to celebrate their victory and also to welcome Song Zhong back, Hong Tengfei held a banquet that night and invited all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Sword Sect's Divine Hall.
Only at this time did Song Zhong experience the power of the Xuantian Dao Sect. There were eight to nine Nascent Soul cultivators in just the branch halls of the academy. In the entire branch monastery, including the monastery masters and Elders, there were over a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators.
Seven Nascent Soul cultivators had come to this banquet. Other than the Hong couple, there were five that Song Zhong didn't recognize. Two of them were surnamed Hong, and the others were also disciples of the Hong family. They could be said to be the direct descendants of the Hong family.
Although Song Zhong hadn't formally acknowledged a master, his father could be considered a direct descendant of the Hong family. If he followed him, he could be considered one of them. If Song Zhong and the Great Shadow were to marry in the future, their relationship would become even closer.
In truth, the Great Shadow and Song Zhong were a perfect match and had long since developed feelings for each other. The Hong couple had seen it all, so this matter was basically set in stone. That was why the Hong family had helped Song Zhong this time. The reason was that they didn't treat Song Zhong as an outsider.
Song Zhong was naturally endlessly grateful for the Hong family's help. Although he had received the same treatment as the Hong couple, he didn't dare to be rude and still greeted them with the courtesy of a junior. This caused the cultivators to be extremely satisfied with Song Zhong, who was polite and not arrogant. The banquet was very enjoyable. The Nascent Soul cultivators all said that if Song Zhong needed anything, he could look for them. They definitely wouldn't refuse. Song Zhong was naturally very grateful.
Next, Hong Tengfei gave Song Zhong an immortal mansion according to Shui Menglong's order. This was the location of the Jade Tree Palace. It only took up a little more than a dozen miles, and although it looked a little small, the scenery inside was excellent. In particular, there was a hundred-thousand-year-old magnolia tree, which was a rare treasure.
This magnolia tree was over a hundred feet tall and several feet thick. It was luxuriant and lush, and beautiful magnolia flowers bloomed on it all year round. This was no ordinary magnolia flower. It was a spiritual flower that would only bloom after 300 years and wither after another 300 years. Its fragrance could make people feel relaxed and happy, and it could help them focus on cultivating. It also had the effect of increasing the efficiency of cultivation. It was several times stronger than the best incense. Just this one tree alone was enough to bathe the entire Jade Tree Palace in its fragrance all year round.
Other than that, every part of the magnolia tree was a treasure. Its leaves, branches, flowers, and roots could all be used as medicinal ingredients. Because this tree was so old that it had almost become a spirit, the spiritual qi it contained was extremely terrifying. Any part of it could be used as a top grade alchemy ingredient. It was dozens of times stronger than an ordinary magnolia tree. Because of its high medicinal effect, the same part could be worth a hundred times more.
According to the Xuantian Dao Sect's rules, when this immortal mansion wasn't allocated, it belonged to the Sword Sect's Divine Hall. This magnolia tree also became the Hong family's private property. But now that it was under Song Zhong's name, it was equivalent to Song Zhong's private property. Even if the Hong family wanted it, they would have to get Song Zhong's approval first.
In truth, if this Jade Tree Palace wasn't so small, it could be called a first rank immortal mansion. In other words, it was the residence of a FenShen expert. But because the Hong family wanted to monopolize this magnolia tree, they intentionally made it a little smaller, making it a second rank immortal mansion. Then it had been left unused until now. In these years, who knew how much they had gained from this magnolia tree.
But in order to rope in Song Zhong, Hong Tengfei had steeled his heart and given him the best one. In truth, although second rank immortal mansions were rare, Hong Tengfei still had two that were empty. But that wasn't enough to show how much importance he placed on Song Zhong!
As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier it was. After Hong Tengfei's efforts to rope him in, no matter how unreasonable Song Zhong was, he couldn't help but feel grateful from the bottom of his heart. Although he didn't say it out loud, he had long since viewed the Hong family as his second home.
After settling down, Song Zhong no longer wronged Han LingFeng, SiYun, and SiYu. He arranged for them to stay in the Jade Tree Palace as guest elders in name. They would cultivate all day and play around when they had nothing to do.
On account of Song Zhong's face, the Hong family was also polite to them. For high level cultivators, once they married, it was very rare for them to only marry one wife. For example, Hong Tengfei himself had more than ten wives and concubines. So everyone didn't reject Song Zhong's romantic behavior. Instead, they said that he was free and easy.
Of course, there were also people who were worried that the Great Shadow would throw a tantrum and persuaded Song Zhong to send these three women away. Song Zhong naturally rejected them one by one. At the same time, he confidently announced that he could easily deal with the Great Shadow.
Everyone didn't believe it. They all knew that the Great Shadow was the pride of the Xuantian Branch and was spoiled by her master. They were afraid that she wouldn't be so easy to deal with. So they all planned to watch the show with Song Zhong.
Just at this time, the Great Shadow came out of seclusion. After becoming a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, she ran back from her master's place to visit her parents. In the end, when she heard that Song Zhong had returned, she was naturally very excited and rushed to the Magnolia tree to find him.
At the same time, those YuanYing stage old men of the Hong family secretly used their powerful divine sense to follow her. They wanted to see how she would act like a tigress after seeing that Song Zhong had three women.
However, what happened next gave them a huge shock. At the beginning, it was as they expected. When the Great Shadow barged in, Song Zhong was drinking tea with the three women under the Magnolia tree.
When the Great Shadow saw that the man she yearned for day and night was hugging another woman, she was instantly enraged and jealous. She took out the Phoenix Crying Blade on the spot and wanted to kill Song Zhong.
Just when everyone thought that there was going to be a couple's fight, they didn't expect Song Zhong to use his ultimate killing move and 'insta-kill' the enraged Great Shadow!
Song Zhong ignored the Phoenix Crying Blade on his neck and directly took out an item and handed it over. Then, he said affectionately, "Junior Sister, Senior Brother knows that you want to merge the Phoenix Crying Blade and the Dragoncry Sword. In order to fulfill your wish, Senior Brother searched day and night and finally found news about the Dragoncry Sword. After that, I risked my life and snatched it back from the Thousand Desire Devil Sect's FenShen Severing Stage experts! Take it! "
The moment Song Zhong's words left everyone's mouth. They were all cursing in their hearts, 'Song Zhong is too shameless! He obviously obtained the Dragoncry Sword by chance, but he's saying it as if he worked hard for it. He's too hateful! The ignorant Great Shadow will definitely fall for it! '
The truth was as such. Looking at the sealed Dragoncry Sword and the sincere Song Zhong under her blade, the Great Shadow instantly collapsed. She loosened her grip and the Phoenix Crying Blade fell to the ground. Then, she plunged into Song Zhong's arms and cried, "Senior Brother, I'm sorry. You're so good to me. I really shouldn't have treated you like this! "
"Junior Sister, what are you saying? It's all Senior Brother's fault! " Song Zhong hugged the Great Shadow's delicate body and said sorrowfully, "I shouldn't have tried to be brave and suffered heavy injuries. I shouldn't have been saved by two beauties who risked their lives. I shouldn't have developed feelings for them while I was recuperating. I, I've let you down. Junior Sister, just kill me. I deserve to die! "
With that, Song Zhong picked up the Phoenix Crying Blade and wanted to slit his own throat.
Seeing this, how could the Great Shadow hesitate? She hurriedly pulled Song Zhong and cried, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, don't be like this. Isn't it just two more sisters? A man can have three wives and four concubines. It's not like I can't accept them! "
"Really? You agree to let me take them in? "Song Zhong said with tears in his eyes.
"Yes, really!" The Great Shadow hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, don't worry!"
"Junior Sister, you're really too good to me!" Song Zhong immediately said gratefully. Then he hurriedly said, "Come, let me introduce you. These are the sisters SiYu and SiYun!"
After that, Song Zhong introduced the three ladies to the Great Shadow. Han Ling Feng had known the Great Shadow for a long time. She knew the Great Shadow's identity so she did not dare to be rude. SiYu and SiYun were a pair of honest people. Naturally, they would not make things difficult for the Great Shadow. After the few of them sat together, they chatted and were actually very agreeable. This allowed Song Zhong to finally put down the huge rock in his heart.
Seeing this, all the cultivators who were spying on them began to curse in their hearts, 'This darn Song Zhong, why is he so cunning? Playing hard to get and then injuring himself to gain the enemy's confidence. Serial schemes, he's really good at using them! Pity my poor niece, she's been deceived by this damn fatty until she can't even tell north! '
However, even though these elders could not stand Song Zhong's deceit towards the Great Shadow, they still chose to remain silent on the account of the Dragon Cry Sword. Even HongYing's master, who originally wanted to teach Playboy SongZhong a lesson, also decided to give up and not interfere in this matter.
After all, the Dragon Cry Sword was not an ordinary item. It was a level 5 spiritual artifact. Even the Xuantian Branch did not have many of such items. Especially after combining with the Phoenix Crying Sword, the power of the two was comparable to a level 7 or 8 spiritual artifact. But in terms of power, they were already in the top three of all the spiritual artifacts in the Xuantian Branch!
With such a good gift, not to mention two or three concubines, even if he married a few hundred, the elders would definitely not say anything.
After settling the Great Shadow, Song Zhong's days in the Xuantian Branch were finally comfortable. All he did was cultivate and play. With the four beauties accompanying him and Shuijin occasionally appearing, Song Zhong felt as if he was living in heaven.
However, the beautiful days were always short-lived. SongZhong had only enjoyed them for a few months before they were interrupted by a sudden incident!
