"The jade slips indicate the number, grade, and type of spiritual objects to be traded this time. Please have a look, Fellow Daoist Bai." Sun Mingsheng was neither humble nor arrogant.

The Sun family was certainly active in this transaction, but the Bai family would also make a lot of money from it. Judging the situation, he would never easily retreat half a step when it comes to fighting for the interests of the family.

"All of them are special spiritual objects from Pingyang County, which are all insufficient in the local supply. I wonder what kind of spiritual objects you are going to exchange for?" The shopkeeper of the Platinum Pavilion was also a shrewd person.

Since the Sun family had not traveled far across 100,000 miles, and had fought several battles with monsters along the way, they would certainly not choose to return with a large number of spiritual stones.

"Fellow Daoist is wise. This jade slip contains the spiritual objects to be traded. Please evaluate the value of the two." Sun Mingsheng naturally did not hide anything and came straight to the point.

Both jade slips were made by the monks of the family caravan, and the value of both sides was determined after enough time of careful carving.

Perhaps there are some differences in the eyes of different cultivators, but it is obviously not too obvious for such a large-scale transaction, and they are all spiritual objects that the other party is good at making or producing, which can be regarded as another form of complementarity.

"Your family is really well-intentioned. These spiritual objects are all specialties of the Platinum Pavilion, and the value between the two parties is equal. As long as the quality of the spiritual objects themselves is flawless, this transaction will be completed." After a period of thinking and consideration, this transaction can basically be declared a success.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Bai, for your help. The Sun family will definitely repay you in the future."

The two foundation-building cultivators are only responsible for reaching a basic intention. The remaining most complicated confirmation of the quality of the spiritual objects traded by both parties is to be counted by the corresponding cultivators sent by each party.

A huge and grand ceremony is taking place at Shenquan Mountain in Pingyang County

"Please ask for the family tree and record the names." Sun Xunmu stood in front of the family ancestral hall and announced loudly with high spirits.

In front of him were two children, a boy and a girl, who were eight or nine years old and ignorant but with a hint of excitement. They were also the protagonists of this ceremony.

Behind the two children were two adult monks, Sun Mingyun and Sun Mingkai, both of whom were of average qualifications, such as four or five spiritual roots. If they had enough opportunities, they would probably stay in the Qi Refining Stage in this life. Therefore, they married and had children early under the arrangement of the family to expand the family.

Unfortunately, due to their own qualifications, the wives and concubines they married were basically mortals. They gave birth to more than ten children, but they were always monks without spiritual roots.

This time, they finally got their reward after all the hardships. After the spiritual roots were tested, one of their children not only had spiritual root qualifications, but also had three spiritual roots.

"Give the names: Sun Caiyun and Sun Caidong, and open the two monks with the character Cai as the first generation. Each of them will be rewarded with fifty spiritual stones and a bottle of first-level low-grade spiritual pills."

For a small and medium-sized family like the Sun family, which lives in a remote corner, the reproduction of younger monks and the inheritance of the family are extremely important.

Whenever a new generation of spiritual root monks appears, a grand ceremony will be held to show the solemnity.

Only after this will the next generation ranking be opened. Before this, all monks from the outside world who are admitted to the family by chance will be ranked uniformly according to the Ming generation.

Of course, these monks from the outside world can keep their own surnames. After growing up, they can marry with the female monks of the family according to their spiritual root qualifications. The same is true for the female monks. This is equivalent to another kind of marriage system. It has been proved in the long history that this is an effective means to ensure the family bloodline.

"After these years of increasing income and reducing expenditure, the family situation has improved day by day, but it lacks a strong late foundation building monk to sit in. Since Uncle Changfeng passed away, all the pressure has fallen on you and me. Today I know how difficult it is to support the family." On the top of Shenquan Mountain, Sun Shengyuan and Sun Shengmei are talking.

After these years of closed-door cultivation, thanks to the family's gains from the secret place, they have quietly and sporadically sold and exchanged elixirs at some large and small auctions in recent years, and their cultivation has improved significantly, advancing to the fifth and fourth levels of foundation building respectively.

Although they are still in the middle stage of foundation building, their confidence has finally been consolidated. Once they face the enemy in the future, they can rely on the power of the family's defense formation to fight against a late-stage foundation building cultivator without losing the upper hand.

"The family's strength is growing day by day, and the consumption of various resources is also increasing day by day. Over the years, more than half of the elixirs in the secret library have been consumed. We should increase revenue and reduce expenditure." Sun Shengmei's face showed a worried look.

"Mingsheng led the caravan to open up a trade route to Qingxi County. If everything goes well, he should have set off on the return journey recently. He can also exchange for a sum of resources that the family urgently needs to alleviate the current embarrassing situation." Sun Shengyuan has high hopes for the caravan.

"Brother, the caravans traveling around and the shops in the Beast Taming City are certainly important, and they can earn a certain amount of spirit stones, but they are not the foundation for the family. If you put all your energy into business, how can the family survive in the future? Hunting monsters, picking spiritual herbs, and traveling in the world of cultivation are the foundation for training the younger generation." Sun Shengmei has a different opinion on this.

"Third sister, what you said makes sense. Mingsheng and Mingzeng have much more potential than you and me. If everything goes well and they both have the opportunity to reach the Golden Core stage, the family should let them go appropriately. However, the spiritual stones earned by the caravan are the foundation for maintaining the family's operation, and they should not be neglected either." When Sun Shengyuan said this, he seemed to be thinking about something.

If a family wants to successfully reproduce and inherit, or even grow and develop, it must cultivate high-level cultivators who exceed the current family level. For this reason, it is worthwhile for the entire family to cut back on food and clothing.

Looking at the entire family, there are only Sun Mingzeng, who has the excellent qualifications of dual spiritual roots, and Sun Mingsheng, who is brave enough to move forward with infinite momentum.

Before this, in order to maintain the operation of the family and train the two, they have always been responsible for one aspect. After being promoted to the foundation building stage, they have never had enough time to practice in seclusion.

Now that the development direction of the family has begun to turn little by little, it is natural that a different way is needed to train and train the two.

Of course, this so-called adjustment requires enough time and is based on the situation that does not affect the operation of the family. It is also a big test for the helmsman of the family.

The discussion between the two foundation-building cultivators on the mountaintop had no impact on the family ceremony being held. With the two Cai-generation cultivators, Sun Caiyun and Sun Caidong, officially becoming members of the cultivators and being recorded in the family tree, it meant that the entire Sun family had successors.

The first to get busy was the family's school that specialized in teaching children. The clan elder Sun Xunwen, who had not officially appeared for a long time, also personally took part in the battle.

Although this clan elder was only a cultivator with four spiritual roots, his current cultivation level was also the ninth level of Qi training, with broad knowledge and abundant experience.
