Chapter 161 Caravan (Subscribe, Collect)
Before he was promoted to the foundation building stage, Sun Mingsheng didn't know much about this oldest cultivator in the family. He only knew that he had stepped forward several times when the family was facing crises.
After breaking through the bottleneck and being promoted to the foundation building stage, they went to the Beast Control City to deal with the beast tide together, and they joined forces to fight the enemy in the secret place of the Beast Control Mountain. Only then did they get to know him better.
Facing strong enemies, he ignored his own old age and bravely moved forward in every battle. He even allocated various resources to the younger generation in the battle, and was not stingy with guidance for some doubts in the practice process.
The reason why Sun Mingsheng was able to successfully advance to the second level of foundation building was that he made a lot of progress under his guidance.
Although he had been mentally prepared early, when this day really came, this sadness could not be forcibly suppressed.
Of course, in this sadness, there is also a sense of grief. If you can't go further on the road of practice, after your life span is exhausted, no matter how strong you are in your life, you can only turn into a cup of yellow soil.
Sun Changfeng's cave is located in the most abundant spiritual power position on Shenquan Mountain. It was originally a family forbidden place, but today it has gathered six foundation-building cultivators, including Sun Mingzeng, who has been running a shop in the Beast Control City.
"The ancestor has passed away. According to the family regulations, he will be buried in the family cemetery, and a pair of scimitars will be used as spiritual artifacts as burial objects." Sun Shengyuan's face was full of sadness, but the arrangements for the elders' funeral were still in order.
"Two days later, all family members will be organized to offer sacrifices and arrange sacrificial texts."
Burying a pair of spiritual artifacts that the cultivator loved most during his lifetime is also a custom in the world of cultivation. In addition, the tombs of these family elders are also a special resource in another sense.
In the major sects, cultivators of different cultivation levels will be buried in different locations and arranged in different formations after passing away. Once they encounter a crisis of extermination, they will appear again with a special ability.
The Sun family does not have such a scale and ability. These spiritual weapons buried with the predecessors are also a resource that can be used to equip the family monks at critical moments.
The six foundation-building monks also performed their duties in the past two days. Many things need to be arranged one by one. Of course, this funeral is limited to the family.
Two days later, at the back of Shenquan Mountain
"The ancestor has passed away. All the family monks are extremely sad. Today is the burial. We will send the last journey. Please put the ancestor's coffin into the ancestral tomb." Sun Shengyuan's face was serious.
In this tomb dedicated to burying the elders of the family, a tomb has been formed. The atmosphere of sadness spread one after another. All the monks who attended the funeral had sad expressions on their faces, and some of the descendants of Sun Changfeng couldn't help but shed tears.
"The Sun family, adhering to the will of our ancestors, has thrived in Shenquan Mountain. We have encountered many difficulties and obstacles along the way. Thanks to our elder Changfeng, he overcame all difficulties and protected our family. Today, he passed away. The family is sad. The rest of us must follow the wishes of our ancestors and work hard to make our ancestors happy."
Sun Changfeng's funeral did not last too long. After an hour, with the last piece of soil filling, 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.
Sun Mingsheng, one of the family's foundation-building cultivators, was also reassigned a task. The free and easy seclusion life in the previous period came to an end.
"With the death of the ancestor Changfeng, the family has one less foundation-building cultivator. Since you have advanced to the second level of foundation building first, you naturally need to continue to serve the family." In the meeting hall, Sun Xunmu's face was full of complicated expressions.
He was promoted to the foundation building stage before Sun Mingsheng, but the heavy family chores delayed his cultivation. He has not yet been promoted to the second level of foundation building. Instead, he watched a younger generation take the lead.
"Uncle, just give your orders. I will definitely not refuse at all." Sun Mingsheng did not hesitate to complete the family mission.
"The family is preparing to open a trade route to the Bai family in Qingxi County in the near future. Since you have also participated in the operation to rescue Bai Qingling, the daughter of the Bai family, you will be responsible for this matter." Sun Xunmu obviously had a plan early on.
The Bai family in Qingxi County is a large family with a stable inheritance of the Jindan stage. In some of its strong stages, it is even comparable to the five major sects.
The two families opened a trade route, which was also a promise when Bai Qingling was rescued in the Beast Taming City. I think with the strength and reputation of the Bai family, they will definitely not easily break their promise.
Moreover, the opening of the trade route is obviously beneficial to both families, and the Bai family has no reason to refuse.
As the active party, before the official opening of the trade route, the Sun family needs to take the initiative to open a trade route to Qingxi County.
This is not an easy task. From Shenquan Mountain in Pingyang County to Baijia Lingshan in Qingxi County, it is necessary to cross more than 100,000 miles of Zhongshan and Moling counties.
As the main itinerary of the caravan, it is natural to give priority to some safe main passages, but it is still inevitable to pass through some famous mountains, rivers and even forests and lakes.
There are naturally monsters living in these areas, and there are also some wanted evil cultivators. All of these need to be crushed with absolute strength.
Each caravan carries valuable spiritual objects, which are naturally attractive to monsters and evil cultivators. Naturally, they will not give up. It can be said that the opening of a new trade route is based on several wars.
"My nephew can complete the task of opening up the 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 despise it, and the profit earned by this caravan in the future will be greatly reduced." Sun Mingsheng has no fear of adventure and fighting, but he is unwilling to waste his energy in vain.
"Don't worry, with the high-grade spiritual medicine picked from the secret place as the basis, the family will naturally not waste this trade route in vain." Sun Xunmu is full of confidence and almost pats his chest to guarantee.
"When will we set off? How big is the caravan? How many family cultivators are traveling with us?" Knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles. Only by having an advance understanding of the scale can we predict the difficulty.
"Eight silly cow beasts, four dragon blood spirit horses, carrying basic spiritual objects, and thirty second-level high-quality spiritual medicines, and twelve late-stage Qi Refining cultivators accompanying them." The scale of this caravan is not small.
"The family is really generous. They have invested so much in the first caravan. Aren't they afraid of losing all their money?" Sun Mingsheng also took a breath of cold air.
"The sale and exchange of basic spiritual objects can be carried out according to the market, and some materials that the family lacks can be exchanged. Thirty second-level high-quality spiritual medicines are mainly used to exchange for array-breaking tools and spiritual pills. The family must cultivate a late-stage foundation-building cultivator in the shortest time to deter the villains."
