Chapter 162 Departure (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)

Although the Sun family has not produced any Jindan-stage cultivators, it is an old family with a thousand-year heritage. It is impossible for them to rely on mid-stage foundation-building cultivators to take charge.

Among all the foundation-building families, whether or not there is a late-stage cultivator in charge is an important symbol of the family's strength, and it can be regarded as the face of a family.

Perhaps in daily battles, two mid-stage cultivators can fight a late-stage cultivator together, but in some special occasions, the late-stage foundation-building is a threshold.

For example, in some special spoils-sharing meetings held by the Beast Taming Sect, if there are no late-stage foundation-building cultivators, they cannot enter the venue, and naturally they cannot fight for reasonable interests for the family, and can only let others share and eat some leftovers.

The Zhao family in Pingyang County has been in a worse and worse situation in recent years precisely because of the lack of late-stage foundation-building cultivators to argue for their rights.

The Sun family's highest cultivation level is Sun Shengyuan, who is at the fourth level of foundation-building. If he wants to be promoted to the late-stage foundation-building in the future, the resources required are not a small amount.

The most important of these is the various high-quality elixirs of the second-level middle and upper grades, which is also one of the important tasks for Sun Mingsheng to open up a trade route when he went to the Bai family in Qingxi County this time.

"My nephew understands. With these elixirs as a foundation, there is no problem in exchanging for some elixirs. I guarantee to complete the task." After understanding it clearly, Sun Mingsheng no longer hesitated and decisively agreed.

At present, the six foundation-building cultivators in the family can be said to have their own duties, and they can't be divided to be responsible for opening up trade routes, which takes a lot of time.

Perhaps the only one who has no tasks at present is Sun Shengyuan. His only task is to practice in seclusion and improve his cultivation to the late stage of foundation building in the shortest time.

This forced improvement of cultivation is tantamount to forcing the growth of seedlings. Although there are elixirs to help, it will leave a big hidden danger for the promotion of cultivation in the future. It takes more time to make up for the previous efforts.

But the current situation is that the family needs a late-stage foundation-building cultivator to take charge, and he has no choice but to do it.

With his current cultivation, even if this incident did not happen, his hope of reaching the Golden Core Stage is extremely slim.

Three days later, the caravan heading to the Bai Family Spiritual Mountain in Qingxi County was ready to go.

This time, the family spent a lot of money to successfully open the door of the Bai Family and exchange for some more precious spiritual objects.

The eight silly bull beasts were all first-grade high-quality spiritual beasts in their prime. They were thick-skinned, strong, and had a certain combat power. Even if they were in danger, they would not be powerless to resist.

The four Jiaoxue Spirit Horses were more of a symbol of the family's strength. They were exchanged with the grassland monks in the shops in the Beast Control City. They were also first-grade high-quality. Although they were slightly inferior in defense, they were more flexible than the silly bull beasts.

"Tenth brother, are you going with us this time?" He saw Sun Mingwang in the crowd at a glance. He hadn't seen him for several years. He changed his previous jumpy temperament and seemed much more stable. His cultivation was also steadily improving and he had already reached the eighth level of Qi training.

Over the years, Sun Mingwang has been focusing on the family's spiritual beast valley. He never thought that he would choose to go with them this time.

"When a man is poor, his ambition is short, and when a horse is thin, his hair grows long. Your nephew has been born. As a father, I naturally need to prepare for a rainy day and accumulate some cultivation resources." Sun Mingwang had a helpless look on his face, but his tone was full of pride.

As they grow older, most of the Qi Refining cultivators of the Ming generation have married and had children under the arrangement of the family, but they are generally young and have not reached the age of testing their spiritual roots. It is impossible to confirm whether they have spiritual roots, and they have not yet arranged for the generation to be officially added to the family tree.

Any cultivation family is the same. Only cultivators with spiritual roots can stay in the family to practice. Without spiritual roots, they can only live in mortal towns.

When Sun Mingwang embarked on the road of cultivation, thanks to the support of his parents, in the early and middle stages of the Qi Refining period, he was smooth sailing with the support of a large number of spiritual objects.

Now that he has descendants, he naturally needs to plan for them in advance and strive for some due benefits. This is also the fundamental reason why he joined the caravan.

"Practicing is not just about retreating, it also requires broadening your horizons and increasing your knowledge. Staying in the Spiritual Beast Valley all the time is not conducive to the improvement of your cultivation. This time, traveling together is a good thing." In Sun Mingsheng's view, this is a good thing.

Sun Mingwang's own cultivation qualifications are not bad among the Ming generation. He is also a cultivator with three spiritual roots. He is the third person to be promoted to the seventh level of Qi Refining after Sun Mingzeng and Sun Mingsheng. He also has the hope and possibility of being promoted to the foundation building stage.

Moreover, compared with the past, the family currently has spiritual medicines picked from the secret place, and the grasp of exchanging spiritual objects to assist in foundation building has also been greatly improved.

"I hope that this trip to the Bai family in Qingxi County can be rewarding." Sun Mingwang also has great expectations.

The two of them just talked a few words and then they were busy with their duties. As the leader, Sun Mingsheng needed to make an overall inspection and evaluation before setting off.

As for Sun Mingwang, in addition to being a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining and responsible for a Jiaoxue Spirit Horse, he also represents the Spiritual Beast Valley and is responsible for the health of all the pack animals to ensure that they are in a peak state.

After all, this journey is more than 100,000 miles, and a lot of energy needs to be invested along the way. Once the pack animals have an accident, this journey will become more difficult.

After an hour, all the preparations were completed, and the entire caravan was ready to go. Each cultivator stood in front of a pack animal waiting for the final order.

"What you represent on this trip is the dignity and hope of the family. There are difficulties and obstacles along the way, but if the trade route is successfully opened, the family can earn at least 10,000 spiritual stones every year. Your merits will be recorded in the family genealogy. Go out early and come back early. The family looks forward to everyone's return. If nothing happens, set off." The clan leader Sun Xunmu encouraged enthusiastically.

"Set off, set off" Sun Mingsheng did not continue his long speech. His attention has shifted to the first monster habitat on this road, located on a Qi Ling between Pingyang County and Zhongshan County.

It is said that there are a large number of second-level monsters entrenched here, and basically they exist in a similar tribe state, occupying different positions on Qi Ling Mountain.

There is a special spiritual medicine called Qiling grass on Qiling Mountain, which can help improve the intelligence of spiritual beasts. It is precisely because of the existence of Qiling grass that the intelligence of the monsters here is obviously better, and the name of Lingshan is also due to this.

If you just go to Zhongshan County, there are still additional routes to choose from. If you go to Moling County through this place, this is the only way to go.

The scale of the caravan is not small. You can use the silly cow beast and the Jiaoxue spirit horse as pack animals. The lowest cultivation level is also the late stage of Qi Refining. It is still quite fast to move forward. You can travel 2,000 miles a day by traveling during the day and sleeping at night. If everything goes well, it will take two months for a one-way trip.
