Chapter 444: Passing Away
Seeing the second-level flying sword in his hand, Song Yuanli immediately knelt on the ground with great joy.
"Yuanli, thank you for the treasure, ancestor!"
Seeing that Song Qingyu's move seemed to imply that he was a little stingy, Song Qingming could only smile and take out a golden jade ring from the storage bag and gave it to Song Yuanli.
"This thing is called the Golden Silk Ring, which is also a second-level low-grade magic weapon. This magic weapon on me is more suitable for you now, so I will give it to you for self-defense first!"
Seeing Song Qingming take out this magic weapon, not only Song Yuanli, but also other people in the meeting hall were immediately attracted.
This golden silk ring and the flying sword that Song Qingyu just took out, although the quality level is the same, are both second-level low-grade magic weapons. But the price of a defensive magic weapon like the golden silk ring in the market is much higher than that of an ordinary flying sword.
Seeing the two ancestors of the family bestowing treasures, the other cultivators of the Song family cast envious glances at Song Yuanli and surrounded him to congratulate him. The total value of the two magic tools he received today alone exceeded one thousand spirit stones.
After everyone quieted down, Song Qingming stood up and announced: "Since Yuanli has already established his foundation, from today on, he is the new supreme elder of the family, and the monthly salary will be paid in the same way as Qingyu and I. Do you have any objections?"
"I will follow the order of the clan leader!"
"Clan leader, when you and Aunt Qingyu established your foundation before, there was no celebration. This time, our Song family can't miss Yuanli's foundation."
"Yes, clan leader, Xintong is right. First, we can celebrate well. Secondly, we can take this opportunity to show the strength of our Song family to other surrounding immortal cultivation forces and deter those ignorant villains."
When Song Qingming established his foundation, the Song family was still a weak Qi refining family. It didn't have the financial resources to hold a large celebration for Song Qingming. The family could only celebrate a small celebration in the clan.
Later, when Song Qingyu was building his foundation, the situation of the Song family had improved a lot, but Song Qingming decided not to hold a celebration for Song Qingyu in order to conceal the fact that Song Qingyu had built his foundation from the surrounding forces. At that time, many clansmen were still concerned about this matter.
Now, after hearing everyone mention that they would hold a foundation-building ceremony for Yuanli, Song Qingming thought for a moment and still did not want to spoil the fun of everyone present. He nodded and agreed, and asked Song Qingsi to host and arrange the celebration.
Now, with the death of Gao Jinhe and Huang Shengxin, the old-fashioned foundation-building cultivators of their generation, although the number of cultivators in the Song family and the overall strength of the family are not as good as those of the Huang and Gao families, Song Qingming has now replaced Huang Shengxin as the cultivator with the highest cultivation in Qinghe County. The prestige of the Song family is not much worse than that of the Huang and Gao families. At this time, there is naturally nothing to worry about holding a foundation-building celebration for Song Yuanli.
Just as the Song family members in the meeting room were discussing the specific matters of the next celebration, a Song family cultivator suddenly rushed into the meeting room in a hurry.
"Clan leader! The elder. The elder seems to be dying!"
Hearing the caller calling the elder, Song Qingming felt something was wrong. He immediately stood up and said sternly: "Yuantong, what happened to the elder? Tell me!"
Song Yuantong looked at Song Qingming and immediately replied anxiously: "The elder just fainted again. I gave him the Qingling Pill for almost half an hour, but he still hasn't woken up. Clan leader, go and see him!"
The elder mentioned by Song Yuantong was Song Qingming's elder brother Song Qingshi.
In recent years, as all the elders have died, Song Qingshi is now the oldest cultivator in the Song family. Because the Song family has encountered several major battles, Song Qingshi has not been injured. He is also one of the few long-lived cultivators in the Song family who can live to more than 120 years old.
When Song Qingming brought everyone to the cave of his elder brother Song Qingshi, there were already many cultivators who had a good relationship with Song Qingshi.
Seeing the clan leader and many family elders coming here, everyone made way and temporarily retreated.
The fourth brother Song Qingrui, who was sitting beside Song Qingshi's bed, was now already an old man. He was directing the servants who were serving Song Qingshi to feed water and medicine to Song Qingshi who was lying on the bed.
After Song Qingming went forward to check, he saw that Song Qingshi's forehead had revealed a grayish-white color, and he knew that Song Qingshi's time was coming.
"Xintong, go to the Golden Pavilion to get a Yuandu Dan."
"Clan leader, are you talking about the Yuandu Dan?"
Song Qingming nodded gently and said, "Yes! Go quickly."
Song Xintong took the order and left. After a while, he returned here with a small wooden box and handed it to Song Qingming. After Song Qingming opened the wooden box, he personally put the shining Yuandu Dan directly into Song Qingshi's mouth.
After taking the pill, the grayish-white color on Song Qingshi's face soon disappeared, and his complexion gradually improved.
Seeing that the pill had taken effect, Song Qingming was relieved. This Duyuan Pill can help restore the loss of blood and essence in the body of a cultivator. It is a valuable second-level pill. One in the market costs at least 200 spirit stones, and there is only one in the Song family's gold storage pavilion.
Because of this, when Song Qingming called Song Xintong to get the pill just now, she thought she had misheard. Such a precious second-level pill, Song Qingming used it on Song Qingshi, who was already running out of time. In everyone's eyes, it was really a waste.
After guarding in Song Qingshi's cave for half a day, his complexion gradually improved, and he finally opened his eyes and woke up. Song Qingming was afraid that the many people in the cave would disturb him, so he drove most of them out, leaving only a few elders of the Qing generation.
As soon as he opened his eyes and saw Song Qingming and others by the bed, Song Qingshi squeezed out a smile on his face and said slowly: "Qingming, Qingyu, how did you have time to come to me?"
"Brother, you just fainted for a long time, and Qingming gave you the Duyuan Pill to wake you up." Before Song Qingming could answer, Song Qingrui on the side directly told him what happened before.
"Duyuan Pill? I'm already dead, why waste such a precious pill on me? Qingming is so stupid!" When Song Qingshi heard that he had just taken Fuyuan Pill, he looked at Song Qingming with a puzzled look.
Song Qingming smiled and nodded to Song Qingshi and said, "Brother, you are right. Look at me, your younger brother, who has been steady and managed the family for so many years, and I haven't made any big mistakes. What's wrong with letting me be confused once!"
Hearing Song Qingming's reply with a smile on his face, Song Qingshi could only shake his head helplessly and let Song Qingrui beside him help him sit up. As the power of Fuyuan Pill was slowly absorbed, Song Qingshi's face slowly turned red, and his complexion became much better.
"Qingming! I have had the honor to help you manage the family until now. I have lived this life in vain. When I meet my sixth uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle down there, I will have fulfilled my mission.
Now that Yuan Li has successfully built his foundation, the family has one more foundation-building cultivator. The family has flourished in the hands of our Qing generation for the past hundred years. The only thing I regret in this life is that I didn't see you form a pill with my own eyes."
Hearing Song Qingshi slowly speaking out his thoughts, Song Qingming's face slowly regained its calm.
"Brother, you really flatter me. The Golden Pill Road is not so easy to walk. I have long been satisfied to have so many brothers like you to help me in this life."
After chatting with Song Qingshi for a while, Song Qingming led everyone out of his cave and walked slowly on the mountain path outside.
"Fourth brother, please walk with me for a while!" Seeing fourth brother Song Qingrui walking out of the cave alone at the back, Song Qingming stopped and came to his side.
Fourth brother Song Qingrui had been living with Song Yuanli for many years. After Song Yuanli established his foundation, in order to have sufficient spiritual energy for cultivation, he quickly moved to the top of the mountain. After renovating the cave where he had retreated before, he moved directly into it. After completing his mission, Song Qingrui has moved back to his home at the foot of the mountain to spend his old age.
Seeing that Song Qingming wanted to send him off, Song Qingrui nodded and agreed. The two of them quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain on a flying sword.
"Fourth brother, take good care of yourself. The family is discussing holding Yuan Li's foundation-building ceremony. You, my teacher, must perform well and drink a few more cups!"
Hearing Song Qingming's caring words, Song Qingrui smiled and sighed, "Qingming, I am worthy of your trust to see Yuan Li's successful foundation-building.
Now that my second sister and third brother are gone, my eldest brother and I are not going to live long. We will not be able to see the day when you form a pill. If you really succeed in forming a pill and witness the golden pill road in the future, don't forget to tell us at our graves."
Song Qingming was about to say something, but he saw Song Qingrui looking at him with a look of expectation.
After a moment of silence, Song Qingming smiled and nodded: "Fourth brother, don't worry! I will never forget it."
After Song Qingshi took the Duyuan Pill, although he persisted for more than half a month, he still couldn't wait until Song Yuanli held the foundation-building pill ceremony, and hurriedly sat in his own cave.
After arranging Song Qingshi's funeral, less than a month later, Song Qingming received the bad news that a familiar person had passed away, and rushed to Qinghefang alone.
The one who passed away this time was the only guest elder of the Song family, Shi Chun.
Shi Chun was actually not as old as Song Qingrui, but he was born as a casual cultivator in his early years, and he still had a lot of injuries on his body. Not only did he not live to the life limit of 120 years old, but he also died very suddenly without any signs.
Shi Chun, who had been living at home the day before, was still discussing with his family to expand the back garden of his home. Unexpectedly, he sat in his own home the next day. When Song Qingming learned the news, it was already three days later.
