Chapter 162 Departure (Please subscribe, please collect)
Although the Sun family did not have any Golden Core monks born, it is still an old family with a history of thousands of years, and it is impossible to rely on the monks in the Foundation Establishment stage to take charge.
Among all the families in the foundation-building period, whether there are late-stage monks in charge will be an important symbol of a family's strength and can be called the face of a family.
Perhaps in daily battles, two mid-stage monks working together can be on par with a late-stage monk, but in some special occasions, the late stage of foundation building is a threshold.
For example, in some special spoils sharing meetings held by the Beast Control Sect, if there are no late-stage foundation-building monks, they will not be able to enter. Naturally, they will not be able to fight for reasonable interests for the family. They can only let others eat some leftovers after the distribution.
The situation of the Zhao family in Pingyang County has deteriorated in recent years precisely because of the lack of support from the monks in the later stages of foundation establishment.
The person with the highest cultivation level in the Sun family is Sun Shengyuan, who is at the fourth level of foundation building. If he wants to advance to the later stage of foundation building in the future, he will need a lot of resources.
The most important of them are various second-level high-quality elixirs, which is also one of the important tasks of Sun Mingsheng's trip to the Bai family in Qingxi County to open up trade routes this time.
"Nephew, I understand. With these elixirs as a foundation, there is no problem in exchanging some elixirs. The mission is guaranteed to be completed." After understanding clearly, Sun Mingsheng no longer hesitated and agreed decisively.
At present, the six foundation-building monks in the family can be said to be performing their own duties, and they cannot be divided up to take charge of opening up trade routes, which requires a lot of time.
Perhaps the only one who does not have a mission at the moment is Sun Shengyuan. His only mission is to practice in seclusion and improve his cultivation to the late stage of foundation building in the shortest possible time.
This kind of forcible improvement of cultivation level is tantamount to destroying the potential. Although there is a magic pill to help, it will leave a big hidden danger for the future promotion of cultivation level. It will take more time to make up for the efforts owed before. return.
But the current situation is that the family needs a late-stage foundation-building monk to take charge, and he is duty-bound.
Judging from his current cultivation level, even if there is no such thing, the hope of reaching the Golden Core stage is extremely slim.
Three days later, the caravan heading to Baijialing Mountain in Qingxi County was ready to go.
This time, the family spent a lot of money in order to successfully open the door of the Bai family and exchange for some more precious spiritual objects.
The eight Hanniu beasts are all first-level high-grade spiritual beasts in their prime. They are thick-skinned and powerful, and possess a certain amount of fighting power. Even if they are in danger, they will not be defenseless.
The four dragon-blooded horses are more of a symbol to show the strength of the family. They were exchanged with the prairie monks from the shops in the Beast Control City. They are also first-class top-grade, although they are slightly inferior in terms of defense. A chip, but it is more flexible than the Hanniu beast.
"Brother Ten, are you going with us this time?" He immediately saw Sun Mingwang's figure among the crowd. He had not seen him for several years. He changed his usual out-of-the-way temperament and seemed much calmer. His cultivation level had also steadily improved. Eight levels of Qi training.
Over the years, Sun Mingwang has been devoting his energy to the family's Spiritual Beast Valley, but he never thought that he would choose to go with him this time.
"People are poor but have short ambitions, and horses are thin and hairy. Your nephew has been born. As a father, I naturally need to take precautions and accumulate some cultivation resources." Sun Mingwang had a look of helplessness on his face, but his tone was full of pride.
As they grow older, most of the Qi Refining Stage monks of the Ming Dynasty have gotten married and had children under family arrangements. However, they are generally younger and have not yet reached the age to detect spiritual roots. It is impossible to confirm whether they have spiritual roots, and no arrangements have been made yet. The characters are officially added to the family tree.
Any cultivating family is the same. Only monks 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 path of spiritual practice, he benefited from the support of his parents. In the middle and early stages of the Qi refining period, with the support of a large number of spiritual beings, everything was smooth sailing.
Now that he has offspring, he naturally needs to plan ahead for them and strive for some due benefits. This is also the fundamental reason why he joins the caravan.
"Cultivation is not just a matter of seclusion. It also requires broadening one's horizons and increasing one's knowledge. Being in the Valley of Spiritual Beasts all the time is not conducive to the improvement of one's cultivation. It is a good thing to go together this time." In Sun Mingsheng's opinion, this is a good thing Good thing.
Sun Mingwang's own cultivation qualifications are not bad among the Ming generation. He is also a three-spirited monk. He is only the third person after Sun Mingzeng and Sun Mingsheng to be promoted to the seventh level of Qi refining. He is also the third person to have the hope of being promoted to foundation building and possible.
What's more, compared to before, the family now has elixirs picked from the secret land, and the certainty of redeeming them for auxiliary foundation-building spiritual items has also been greatly improved.
"I hope I can gain something from this visit to the Bai family in Qingxi County." Sun Mingwang also has great expectations.
The two of them just exchanged a few words and then got busy with their duties. As the team leader, Sun Mingsheng needed to make an overall inspection and assessment before setting off.
As for Sun Mingwang, in addition to being responsible for a dragon-blooded spirit horse as a late-stage Qi Refining monk, he also represents the Spirit Beast Valley and is responsible for the health of all beasts of burden, ensuring that they are in peak condition.
After all, this trip covers more than 100,000 miles and requires a lot of energy along the way. Once something happens to the beast of burden, this trip will become even more difficult.
An hour later, all preparations were completed, and the entire caravan was ready to go. Each monk stood in front of a beast of burden, waiting for the final order.
"What your trip represents 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, and your achievements will be recorded in the family tree. Leave early and return early. The family is looking forward to everyone's return. If nothing happens, we will set off." Sun Xunmu, the patriarch, encouraged enthusiastically.
"Let's go, let's go." Sun Mingsheng did not continue his long speech. His attention had shifted to the first monster habitat on this road, which was located on a Qiling between Pingyang County and Zhongshan County.
It is said that there are a lot of second-level monsters entrenched here, and they basically exist in a similar ethnic group, occupying different positions on Qiling Mountain.
There is a special kind of elixir Qiling Grass on Qiling Mountain, which can help improve the spiritual intelligence of spirit beasts. It is precisely because of the existence of Qiling Grass that the intelligence of the monsters here is obviously superior. The name of Lingshan is also Thanks to this.
If you simply go to Zhongshan County, there are additional routes to choose from. If you want to go to Moling County through this place, this is the only way to go.
The size of the caravan is not too small. It can use the Han Ox Beast and the Flood Blood Spirit Horse as the beasts of burden. The lowest cultivation level is also a late-stage Qi Refining monk. The journey is quite fast. It can travel two thousand miles in a day and stay overnight. All going well it takes two months one way.
