Chapter 86: Extreme Joy Leads to Sorrow (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark, the Third Update)

The mana in the Dantian and meridians soon transformed into drops of liquid. The mana that had reached its limit, after achieving the essential improvement, could only barely cover a thin layer of the Dantian.

This was obviously not enough to support a new foundation-building cultivator's new cultivation realm. After all the mana in the Dantian was consumed.

A strong attraction suddenly came from Sun Xunmu's body. The spiritual power in the retreat room, which was originally quite abundant, was consumed in a short time.

At this time, he changed his previous state and turned into a giant beast that was never full, madly devouring the spiritual power around him.

"Adjust the mountain protection formation, increase the spiritual power supply of the Class A retreat room, and the family has one more foundation-building cultivator. Congratulations." Sun Shengmei, who was sitting in the cave, showed a happy expression on her face.

Sun Xunmu's successful promotion to the foundation building stage represents not only a newly promoted foundation building cultivator, but also the first foundation building cultivator of the Xun generation, which represents the orderly inheritance of the family.

"Yes, great-aunt," Sun Mingxiu, who had been serving beside her, waved the formation flag in her hand.

Sun Mingxiu has been serving the elders of the family's foundation building stage for a long time. Compared with ordinary family cultivators, she naturally has more opportunities to learn about related knowledge such as formations that are not inherited by the family.

The most obvious is the mobilization of the family's protective formation. Ordinary family members in the Qi Refining stage, let alone operating it personally, don't even have the opportunity to get close to the hub of the formation.

Sun Mingxiu's white and slender hands flashed, and rays of light continued to gush out on the entire complex formation hub.

Under the traction of the magic power, on the formation hub, a number of flags only the size of fingers kept turning to different positions.

At the same time, every time a flag of a different color turned a position, the spiritual power in the Class A retreat room where Sun Xunmu was located would become more intense.

This is also one of the advantages of family cultivators. Compared with independent cultivators, the spiritual objects used to assist in foundation building can increase the success rate of half-foundation building under the condition of sufficient spiritual power supply.

Relatively speaking, most independent cultivators can only rent a cave with relatively abundant spiritual power in the market to take risks to impact the foundation building period.

In a sense, they are even more advantageous than some unappreciated sect disciples.

A foundation building cultivator is an important combat force for the Sun family, but at most an elite disciple for the five major sects.

It is impossible for a sect to support a cultivator to impact the foundation building like the Sun family does with almost all its strength.

In the retreat room, after receiving sufficient spiritual power supply, the expression on Sun Xunmu's face and the tension on his body were obviously relaxed compared to before.

With the rapid refining of the Great Circulation, the spiritual power in the entire retreat room was hovering around him, as dazzling as a huge white ball.

Whenever there is an extra drop of liquid mana in the Dantian, the fluctuating aura on Sun Xunmu's body will appear more stable and powerful.

After the foundation-building level of cultivation is completely stable, he can officially come out of retreat and become the fifth foundation-building cultivator in the family.

Of course, before that, he must complete the transformation of the practice. In order to maintain the steady progress of his own cultivation, the cultivators in the Qi Refining stage practice the basic cultivation methods that are widely circulated in the cultivation world.

Once promoted to the foundation-building stage, according to the different attributes and qualifications of the cultivator's own practice, he will change to the practice of the cultivation methods treasured by various families and sects. This is also a key moment to test the family's foundation.

The Sun family may not be prominent in the Song Dynasty's cultivation world, but after all, the inheritance time has been thousands of years. Under the painstaking management of the family predecessors of all generations, all the five elements of the practice have been gathered, which can basically meet the needs of most family cultivators.

The depth of practice of each inherited skill is also different. As the clan leader and the first foundation-building cultivator of the Xun generation, Sun Xunmu is of extraordinary significance, so he can naturally choose the best inherited skill.

A month later, under the order of Sun Shengmei, the clan protection formation began to recover to its normal state. Except for the core part of Lingshan, most of the defenses were not covered by the formation.

The opening of the clan protection formation is not without cost. In order to support Sun Xunmu's impact on the foundation-building stage, the mountain protection formation has been fully opened for two years. On the basis of consuming the spiritual power accumulated over the years, an additional 2,000 spiritual stones were invested.

This is already a considerable expense for a small and medium-sized family that is already stretched on weekdays.

"Finally promoted to the foundation-building stage" Sun Xunmu in the retreat room whispered at almost the same time, and the expression on his face became more resolute.

After a cultivator is promoted to the foundation-building stage, he can enjoy a lifespan of 300 years. The temptation is imaginable. The increase in lifespan is also the eternal goal pursued by every cultivator.

In the Spiritual Beast Valley

The joys of the world are not the same. While Sun Xunmu was enjoying the joy of successfully advancing to the foundation-building stage, Sun Mingwang was full of sorrow.

At the beginning, he and his father agreed that if the silly cow beast could successfully produce more than two cubs within two years and survive successfully, it would be allowed to join the hunting team.

"Everything was taken care of according to the family inheritance. Two silly cow beast cubs died one after another." Sun Mingwang looked at the cubs in front of him that were only the size of a human head and had lost their breath of life. In addition to disappointment, he also felt a little distressed.

Each silly cow beast is an important property of the family, and its various uses are extremely wide. The number of silly cow beasts currently in the family is always insufficient.

The silly cow beast is easy to raise and has thick skin and flesh, which is only a relatively speaking part of its growth after adulthood. It is also quite fragile when it is a cub.

It is precisely because the cubs are not easy to raise and often die during the growth process that the number of silly cow beasts in the family has not been able to increase rapidly.

Of course, there are certain tricks in this. For the five major sects of Song State with a complete inheritance of beastmasters, raising silly cow beasts is not too difficult.

"It's not that your father doesn't keep his word. In two years, only one cub of the silly cow beast survived, and you didn't fulfill the agreement between us," Sun Xunyang said affirmatively.

"I'll accept the loss and stay in the Spirit Beast Valley in the future. Even if you take care of the spirit beasts, you may have a chance to make a name for yourself in the future." Sun Mingwang is also a very stubborn person.

"In recent years, the family's strength has improved a bit, and the mining of the bluestone spirit mine has earned a lot of spirit stones. The Spirit Beast Valley is an indispensable part of the family. The family is going to buy some real spirit beasts and cultivate a real spirit beast to protect the family," Sun Xunyang said meaningfully.

In the past, the Sun family was just barely able to maintain the operation of the family, so they naturally did not dare to increase the extra consumption at will. The spirit beast is a real bottomless pit.
