Sun's journey to immortality

The improvement of one's cultivation is certainly important and is the ultimate goal that every monk strives for. However, a monk's life is not only composed of simple retreat practice. Proper rest and recuperation are also essential.

A sharpened sword will never stop chopping firewood. If you practice blindly and don't know how to balance work and rest, not to mention whether your cultivation level can be promoted, you may end up in a very stubborn state.

Therefore, after getting the approval of his family to return to the Divine Dog Mountain, he did not choose to practice in seclusion immediately, but instead took a hearty and relaxing rest.

The night passed by in Sun Mingsheng's dreamland. In the morning of the next day, his mind was clear and energetic. This night's sleep had obviously had a good effect.

"After resting, after visiting the clan leader today, you can enter the retreat room and attack the seventh level of Qi training." Sun Mingsheng knew what today's arrangements would be.

There is only one second-class hermitage room in the family that is used to attack the late stages of Qi training. He received the family's approval as soon as he applied. Naturally, there are some things worth pondering.

In addition, Sun Mingsheng had been stationed at the Qingyu Ling Mine for three years. According to the rules, he should be the first to report the situation of these years to the clan leader.

After a hearty meal in the family's canteen, which specializes in providing meals for members in the Qi Refining Period, Sun Mingsheng appeared unhurriedly outside the cave of the patriarch Sun Xunmu.

Sun Xunmu serves as the clan leader, with the assistance of the clan elders responsible for all aspects of affairs. The actual affairs are not too heavy. As one of the few monks of the Xun generation who may be promoted to the foundation-building stage, his main focus is still on cultivation.

Only when receiving visits from other family monks or presiding over some important family affairs meetings, will they appear in the family meeting hall.

"The task of guarding the Jade Spirit Mine has been successfully completed, and I hereby report to the clan leader today." Sun Mingsheng stood in front of a cave full of spiritual power, and his words were full of sincerity.

The original task of stationing at the Jade Spirit Mine was recommended by clan grandson Xunmu, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to get this task with his fifth-level Qi training at that time.

Among the entire family, being stationed at the Jade Spirit Mine is a good job. The salary is relatively good and the environment is stable. Apart from some daily affairs, most of the time can be used to practice with peace of mind.

If not, how could Sun Mingsheng spend a large amount of spiritual stones, purchase a large amount of talisman paper and talisman ink, and become a talisman seal master without the support of his direct elders?

How could he, while drawing the talisman seals, push his own cultivation step by step to the peak of the sixth level of Qi training in just three years?

"Mingsheng, come in." A rough but gentle voice came into his ears, coming from the patriarch Sun Xunmu.

"Ming Sheng has met the patriarch, and he is here today to report on the situation of the three-year garrison at the Sapphire Spirit Mine." Entering the cave, a middle-aged monk with an ordinary appearance but a special affinity sat on a Taishi chair. .

"I haven't seen you for three years and you are already at the peak of the sixth level of Qi training. You have lived up to my full recommendation and made great contributions to the family by discovering a bluestone spiritual mine. Not bad." Sun Xunmu showed a gentle smile on his face and did not hesitate to give some praise. .

A bluestone spiritual mine can earn at least 100,000 spiritual stones for the family. With sufficient manpower investment, it can earn 30,000 spiritual stones every year.

For the Sun family, this is already a big addition. With some accumulation within the family, they have the opportunity to purchase a Foundation Building Pill every year.

Sun Xunmu, as the clan leader and the closest family member to the foundation-building stage so far, is naturally the first choice to refine the foundation-building pill.

"If the uncle continues to praise, the nephew will be proud." Facing the elders in the family who have blood inheritance, Sun Mingsheng is also a little naughty.

"After discovering the bluestone spirit mine, do you understand the meaning behind the family's reward of a bottle of Ningxiang Pill?" After a few casual conversations, Sun Xunmu returned to the topic.

"My nephew understands that the purpose of returning to the family this time is to advance to the seventh level of Qi training," Sun Mingsheng answered honestly.

"This Qiuliguo meeting is both an opportunity and a challenge for you. If you want to become the second seed candidate in the family's first generation, it is not enough to just practice Qi at the seventh level. You must also achieve good results." When it comes to this, in addition to admonitions, there is still something in the words.

"Uncle, please rest assured that this Qiuliguo meeting, Mingsheng will definitely live up to the family's expectations."

"This ginseng antler fruit was purchased at a trade fair. It has no effect on me anymore. I will give it to you today. Go to retreat." Sun Xunmu handed over a spirit tree the size of a fist and similar in shape to a gourd. fruit.

The first-grade top-grade ginseng antler fruit contains rich spiritual power, and its effect is similar to that of autumn pear fruit. For newly promoted monks who have been promoted to the seventh level of Qi training, it can quickly stabilize the new realm of cultivation.

In addition to a large amount of rich spiritual power, there are no other impurities in the small ginseng antler fruit. It will not have any negative impact on the monks and is even better than spiritual wine.

"Thank you uncle for the generous gift. My nephew will go to the hermitage room to practice in seclusion." Sun Mingsheng did not shirk, he put the ginseng antler fruit in his bag and turned to leave.

"The family purchased the Foundation Establishment Pill with the spirit stones exchanged from the bluestone spirit mine. Giving the ginseng antler fruit this time is also a kind of reward. Don't let the family down." Looking at the retreating figure, Sun Xunmu also did not hesitate. If you stay too much, your figure will disappear quickly.

The three retreat rooms of the Sun family are located in different locations. The C-level retreat room is located at the foot of the mountain, the B-level retreat room is located halfway up the mountain, and the A-level retreat room is on the top of the mountain, where the spiritual power is most abundant.

Only when the ninth-level Qi training cultivator is ready to break through the foundation-building stage, the Class A retreat room will be opened. The spiritual power here is even more concentrated than the caves of the four foundation-building cultivators.

"Open" Outside the Class B retreat room on the hillside, Sun Mingsheng held a token engraved with a divine dog pattern. With the influx of mana, a spiritual light as thick as a thigh gushed out from the token and hit a stone door closed with bluestone.

This is where the Class B retreat room is located. It is closed most of the time on weekdays.

The Class B retreat room is located in the core position of the Sun family. There is no fixed cultivator guarding it. There is a set of formations specially used for warning around it. Only family cultivators holding tokens can enter it.

The two exclusive tokens for the Class C retreat room and the Class B retreat room are under the control of the clan leader Sun Xunmu. Only with his approval can you enter it for retreat and practice.

The entry and exit token of the Class A retreat room, which is used to break through the bottleneck and advance to the foundation-building stage, has always been in the hands of Sun Changfeng, who has the highest cultivation level in the family, the eighth level of the foundation-building stage.

For the Sun family, every time a family member is preparing to advance to the foundation-building stage, it must be a major event that concentrates the power of the entire family.

The family protection formation is fully activated, and at least two elders in the foundation-building stage will come out of retreat to protect the law. The cultivators in charge of patrolling are also working day and night to ensure absolute safety without any disturbance.
