Before being promoted to Foundation Establishment, Sun Mingsheng didn't know much about the eldest monk in the family. He only knew that he had stepped forward several times when the family faced crises.
After breaking the bottleneck and advancing to foundation building, they jointly went to the Beast Control City to deal with the beast tide. They even joined forces to fight the enemy in the secret area of the Beast Control Mountain. This was the process of getting to know him better.
In the face of powerful enemies, regardless of one's own age, they move forward bravely in every battle. In battle, they allocate various resources to the younger generation, and they do not hesitate to provide guidance for some doubts in the practice process.
The reason why Sun Mingsheng was successfully promoted to the second level of Foundation Establishment was due to the considerable progress he made under his guidance.
Although I had been mentally prepared for it early, when this day actually came, the sadness could not be suppressed.
Of course, in this sadness, there is also a sense of sadness that the rabbit died and the fox died. If you cannot go further on the road of spiritual practice, after your life span is exhausted, no matter how strong you were during your lifetime, you will still be able to turn into a cup of loess.
Sun Changfeng's cave is located on the Shendog Mountain where the spiritual power is most abundant. It was originally the family's forbidden area, but today it has gathered six foundation-building monks, including Sun Mingzeng, who has been running a shop in the Beast Control City.
"The ancestor has passed away and was buried in the family cemetery in accordance with family regulations. A pair of lancets were used as spiritual weapons." Sun Shengyuan's face was full of sadness, but the arrangements for his elder's funeral were still in order.
"Two days later, organize all members of the family to perform sacrifices and arrange sacrificial texts."
It is also a practice in the world of cultivation to bury a pair of monks' favorite spiritual weapons during their lifetime. In addition, the tombs of these family elders are also a special resource in another sense.
In various major sects, monks with different cultivation levels will be buried in different locations and arranged in different formations after their incarnation. Once they encounter the crisis of annihilation, they will appear again with a special ability.
The Sun family does not have such scale and ability. These spiritual weapons buried with their predecessors are also a resource that can be used to equip family monks at critical moments.
The six foundation-building monks also performed their duties during these two days, and many things needed to be arranged one by one. Of course, this funeral was only limited to the family.
Two days later, the mountain behind Shendog Mountain
"The ancestor is passing away. All the monks in the family are extremely sad. He will be buried today. We will take the last step and ask the ancestor to put his coffin into the ancestor's grave." Sun Shengyuan's face was serious.
In this tomb dedicated to burying family elders, a tomb has taken shape, and the breath of sadness spreads one after another. The faces of all the monks attending the funeral are full of sadness, and some of the descendants of Sun Changfeng's descendants are even more sad.
It is inevitable that tears will fall.
"The Sun family, adhering to the will of our ancestors, has thrived in the Shendog Mountain. There have been endless difficulties and obstacles along the way. Thanks to our elders, we are prosperous and have braved all obstacles to protect our family. Today, we are passing away. The family is sad. The rest of the generation will definitely follow the last wishes of our ancestors and work hard to become stronger.
"My ancestors suffered"
Sun Changfeng's funeral did not last long. An hour later, as the last portion of soil was filled in, everything in the family returned to peace.
This sadness did not last long. After three days, the family had begun to return to a relatively normal operating state.
As one of the family's foundation-building monks, Sun Mingsheng was also reassigned tasks, and the free retreat life he had enjoyed for a period of time came to an end.
"Ancestor Changfeng has passed away, and the family has one less monk in the foundation building stage. Since you have been promoted to the second level of foundation building first, you naturally need to continue to serve the family." In the meeting hall, Sun Xunmu had a complicated look on his face.
He was promoted to the foundation building stage before Sun Mingsheng, but the heavy family chores delayed his cultivation. So far, he has not been promoted to the second level of foundation building. Instead, he watched helplessly as a junior took the lead.
"Uncle, just follow the instructions, and my nephew will definitely not refuse at all." Sun Mingsheng did not hesitate at all to complete the family mission.
"The family is planning to open a trade route to the Bai family in Qingxi County in the near future. Since you also participated in the rescue operation of Bai Qingling, the legitimate daughter of the Bai family, you will be responsible for this matter." Sun Xunmu obviously had plans in advance.
The Bai family in Qingxi County is truly a large family with a stable inheritance in the Golden Core stage. In some stages of prosperity, it is even comparable to the five major sects.
The opening of a trade route between the two families was also a promise made when Bai Qingling was rescued in the Beast Control City. Given the strength and reputation of the Bai family, they would not easily break their promise.
What's more, after the trade route is opened, it is obvious that cooperation will benefit both families, and the Bai family really has no reason to refuse.
As the proactive party, before the trade route can be officially opened, the Sun family needs to take the initiative to open up a trade route to Qingxi County.
This is not an easy task. From Shengu Mountain in Pingyang County to Baijialing Mountain in Qingxi County, you need to cross Zhongshan and Moling counties, which is more than 100,000 miles away.
As the main itinerary of the caravan, it is natural to give priority to some safe main road sections, but it is still inevitable to pass through some famous mountains, rivers and even forests and lakes.
Naturally, there are monster beasts inhabiting these areas, and there are also some wanted evil cultivators, all of which need to be crushed with absolute strength.
Every caravan contains valuable spiritual objects. These spiritual objects are naturally attractive to monsters and evil cultivators. Naturally, it is impossible to give up. It can be said that the opening of a new trade route is based on
over several wars.
"My nephew can complete the task of opening a caravan, but for the first transaction between the two parties, the family still needs to provide some high-quality spiritual objects, otherwise it will only make the Bai family look down upon. The profits earned by this caravan in the future will be
"Significantly reduced" Sun Mingsheng has no fear of taking risks and fighting, he just doesn't want to waste his energy in vain.
"Don't worry, with the high-grade elixir picked from the secret land as the basis, the family will not waste this trade route in vain." Sun Xunmu was so confident that he almost patted his chest and assured.
"When will we set off? How big will the caravan be? How many family monks will be traveling with it?" Knowing yourself and your enemy will lead to a hundred battles. Only by having an advance understanding of the scale can we predict the difficulty.
"Eight stupid beasts, four dragon-blooded spiritual horses, carrying basic spiritual objects, and thirty second-level high-grade elixirs, accompanied by twelve late-stage Qi refining monks." The size of this caravan has already grown impressively.
Not too small.
"The family is really generous. It's the first time they have invested so much in developing a caravan. Are they not afraid of losing all their money?" Sun Mingsheng also took a breath.
"Basic spiritual items can be sold and exchanged on the market in exchange for some supplies that the family lacks. Thirty second-level high-grade elixirs are mainly exchanged for formation-breaking equipment and elixirs. The family must cultivate a builder in the shortest possible time.
In the later period, monks were stationed in order to frighten Xiaoxiao."
