Chapter 101 Sun Mingzeng retreats (please subscribe, please collect)
"Open" the token in Sun Mingsheng's hand emitted a burst of fiery red light, and an invisible mask outside the cave melted little by little like snow meeting the sun.
Sun Mingsheng strode into it. The layout of the entire cave was quite reasonable. At the entrance was a large hall with a large area. There were dedicated small rooms at intervals on both sides, namely: Spirit Beast room, practice room, living room, utility room.
The spirit beast room was specially made with special means, and it happened to be used temporarily as the nest of black-striped ants.
After many years of cultivation, the black-striped ants that were originally exchanged from Yuquan Mountain have been successfully promoted to the first level of high-grade queen ants. The size of the entire ant colony has exceeded 10,000, and it suddenly looks black.
Although the rank of the black-striped ant queen is extremely important, quantity is also an indispensable factor. They are a special group that relies on quantity to win.
Thanks to Sun Mingsheng's investment in a large amount of demonic beast flesh and blood and the semi-finished talisman seals in the process of drawing talisman seals in the past period, some newly hatched black-striped ants have appeared on their bodies with traces of blood-red lines, causing slight mutations, which are similar to There are certain differences between other black-striped ants.
Whether this mutation is good or bad needs to be explored one by one in the future. There is no doubt that this group of black striped ants can already provide it with certain help.
"If the queen ant has the opportunity to advance to the second level in the future, the number of the entire black-striped ant colony must exceed 100,000, which can be called a killer weapon." Sun Mingsheng has always been concerned about the black-striped ants that have reached a limit in swarms. Not a small expectation.
As the number of black-striped ants increased, the various spiritual objects he needed to provide did not increase. Under the command of the queen ant, these little guys appeared in groups at different locations in the Divine Dog Mountain to hunt down various first-order Monsters and insects for food.
As the family's headquarters, Shendog Mountain has cultivated spiritual fields and spiritual medicine gardens on a large scale, planting various grades of spiritual rice, spiritual medicine, etc.
In this process, there are naturally some low-level demonic insects that feed on them. These demonic insects are extremely small and reproduce quickly. Once a large-scale outbreak occurs, they will be a big threat to Lingmi and the elixir garden.
These monster insects are barely promoted to the first level of low-grade, and they lack combat power, but they are excellent blood food for the black-striped ants.
The queen ant and some black-striped ants that have been promoted to the first level of high-grade are naturally provided by him with some high-quality blood food to increase their combat effectiveness as much as possible.
Raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a short period of time is the same as raising black-striped ants. Once in danger, except for the queen, the rest of the ant colony can be sacrificed.
After placing the black-striped ants, Sun Mingsheng no longer delayed, sitting cross-legged in the training room and following the requirements of the "Fire Flame Soul Control Art" to use the Great Zhoutian to refine the surrounding spiritual power for his own use.
On the one hand, he replenished the lack of mana in his dantian, and on the other hand, he also took the opportunity to adjust his breath. When all his energy and spirit were at their peak, he began to truly refine the Fiery Blade.

"Great-grandfather, after being away for nearly eight years, have you ever received any spiritual objects to assist in foundation building?" Sun Xunmu looked expectantly on his face.
He has successfully been promoted to Foundation Establishment, but there are still many ninth-level Qi-training monks in the family who are still waiting for the appearance of auxiliary Foundation Establishment spiritual objects.
Like Sun Mingsheng, there are always only a few who rely on their own strength to redeem a foundation-building spiritual item and successfully advance to foundation-building. Strength and opportunity are both indispensable.
"I gained a lot from leaving this time, including a foundation-building pill, a bottle of evil-resolving water, three portions of Earth-defending True Evil, a second-grade high-quality three-headed snake egg, and I also gained from creating the Beast Control Mountain Range with a few old guys. It's not cheap, I'll sort it out and store it all in the family treasury." Sun Changfeng looked older and older.
There are only about twenty years of life left. The running and fighting in these ten years have obviously consumed the little energy left in the body. It may be impossible to maintain the remaining ten years of life.
Usually, when their longevity is approaching, monks mostly choose a location with abundant spiritual power to practice in retreat, so as to ensure that they can sit in a full state at the last moment.
If it weren't for the fact that he was consuming too many resources within the family and was unable to break through the bottleneck and advance to the Golden Core stage, Sun Changfeng would not have left at the last moment.
"Is your old man's health okay? There is a second-level high-grade elixir in the treasure house that can be used to adjust the breath." Sun Xunmu couldn't help but have a worried look on his face.
"I'm just a little tired. I can recover by adjusting my breath. There is no need to continue to waste the few elixirs in the family." Sun Changfeng decisively refused.
Seeing the eldest elder in the family working hard in the last period of his life for the future development of the family, Sun Xunmu also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
"Gaozu, the old man's remaining lifespan can only last for five years at most. This operation is more dangerous than expected. These elixirs are all grown deep in the Yushou Mountain Range." After a brief summary, it is enough There are twenty second-level and high-grade elixirs.
Just these elixirs are a huge amount of income, and they can be easily exchanged in the market for a large number of second-level elixirs suitable for monks in the foundation-building stage to improve their cultivation.
"If there is a second-level alchemist in the family, the effect of these elixirs will be at least doubled." Thinking of this, as the patriarch, he showed a distressed but helpless look.
Unfortunately, the five major sects of the Song Dynasty strictly control inheritances such as alchemy and weapon refining. Only the most superficial inheritances are circulated on the market. At most, they can only cultivate some first-level and low-level alchemists, and they need to pay a high price. This is also the fundamental reason why the family has never cultivated alchemists or weapon refiners.
Starting from the second day, Sun Xunmu began to arrange suitable monks to retreat for the foundation building period based on the family's current situation.
As for the candidates, it is not too complicated. Everything is based on the interests of the family, and those with the best qualifications have priority.
The only talented monk with dual spiritual roots in the family, Sun Mingzeng, who was highly valued and cultivated, must be ranked first in the queue. He used the only Foundation-Building Pill as an aid to formally retreat into the Foundation-Building Period.
Twin Spirits have natural bonuses. Under the influence of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the success rate of promotion to Foundation Establishment is over 80%.
If the family elders were not cautious, even with the support of the Zhentu Zhensha, there would be more than 60% chance of promotion.
A bottle of evil spirit water is the second core seed player of the Xunzi generation, the senior monk Sun Xunkang, who has also been immersed in the ninth level of Qi training for many years, enters the foundation building stage.
As long as Sun Xunkang, the Third Spiritual Root cultivator, can withstand the counterattack of the evil water explosion, the probability of successfully being promoted to Foundation Establishment will be more than 40%.
As for the remaining three points of the garrison earth, it is sealed in the family treasure house for later use.
"This time of retreat, we must advance to the foundation building stage. We can only advance but not retreat. We can only succeed but not fail."
