Sun's journey to immortality

"Ming Zeng, this is the cycle of destiny in life. It is better to put your energy on improving your cultivation. As Uncle Shengyuan said, as long as the golden elixir can be successfully condensed in the future, all your efforts today will be valuable."

As a witness to all this, Sun Xunmu naturally understood how Sun Shengyuan felt at this moment, unable to do anything but watch the family elders die.

"Uncle, please rest assured. My grandson naturally understands the importance of it and can adjust it slowly. It just takes some time."

As a qualified monk, Sun Mingzeng's ability to regulate various emotions is a basic instinct. The current stress response is just a transformation that has not come for a while.

"Uncle Sheng Yuan doesn't have much longevity left. Aunt Sheng Mei has been sitting in the Lingtaoshan family branch all year round. Thanks to her efforts, it has been prospering in these years, but her longevity is also not much."

"Once the two ancestors pass away, there will be no new monks in the family who can be promoted to Foundation Establishment in a short period of time. Do you know what this means?"

Sun Xunmu laid out the bloody reality in front of several junior monks who had grown up day by day.

Sun Shengyuan and Sun Shengmei have represented the entire Sun family in the world of cultivation for a long time. Once they are dead, their influence cannot be underestimated. Just the obvious decline in the family's strength will definitely attract the attention of the Yan family. Family temptation.

"Uncle, what should we do?"

After Sun Caiyun thought clearly about the hidden dangers, there was already some fear in her tone. Although she had tried her best to suppress it, she still had a clear judgment for a group of experienced and seasoned monks.

Sun Caiyun, as the first and last monk of the Cai Zi generation, has shown superb alchemy skills and talent since he embarked on the path of cultivation.

He spent most of his time studying or refining various elixirs in the family alchemy hall since he was a child. He rarely went out and had very little combat experience. It can be said that a monk who grew up under the protection of his family elders suddenly heard that his family Two respected elders are about to pass away one after another, and it is inevitable that some worries will arise in their hearts, which will affect their emotions.

"Talent, improving alchemy skills, and pondering new elixirs are certainly important, but as a monk, some due training is still indispensable."

Sun Xunmu was obviously dissatisfied with this performance, and there was inevitably some reprimand in his tone.

As time goes by, it is inevitable that Sun Shengyuan and Sun Shengmei will be enthroned one after another, and the number of family foundation-building monks is also decreasing day by day. Each foundation-building monk should have the ability to independently undertake certain tasks in the future.

"Granddaughter took note of it"

Sun Caiyun looked aggrieved and nodded in agreement. However, a monk's habits cannot be easily changed. As the saying goes, a person's temperament is easy to change but hard to change.

Of course, Sun Caiyun's performance was just a small episode in the Sun family's discussion today. The most important thing was still the arrangements for the family's various subsequent plans.

The monks of the three generations of Chang, Sheng, and You who were originally the mainstay of the family have withered away. Now Sun Xunmu is not only the patriarch of the family, but also the highest-level monk in the foundation-building period who can handle various affairs in the family.

Of course, there are still some old and strong monks in the Qi Refining Stage among the younger generations who have not yet sat down. They are just limited by their own cultivation and are not qualified to participate in this kind of discussion.

Although the cultivation family is driven by blood, the real backing is still their own strength, and this will not change at all no matter where they are.

"Mingwang, as the person in charge of the family's Spirit Beast Valley, your energy will need to be transferred in the future and you will need to take on some family affairs. In addition, after some preparations recently, you are going to go to the Lingtaoshan family branch to replace Aunt Shengmei. You can take it with you. Bring a second-level monster with you and ask her to return to the family."

Sun Xunmu made arrangements in an orderly manner. The first thing he did was to make follow-up arrangements for the Lingtaoshan branch of his family. In recent years, the Lingtaoshan family branch had traded with the family every year. A large number of specialties unique to Shiwandashan were sold throughout the Song Dynasty. It is also very popular within the country. It earns a lot of resources for the family every year and gradually becomes an indispensable income.

"Uncle, please rest assured. My grandson promises to complete the task."

Sun Mingwang promised confidently, and was also very interested in going to the Shiwan Mountains to sit down and look for opportunities.

"Ming Zeng, from now on, your only task is to represent me in the family. Your main focus is on cultivation. The spiritual objects needed during the cultivation process will be supplied by the family treasury."

"In the future, I will personally manage the family caravan and the shops in various markets."

Sun Xunmu did not hesitate to personally take over the most complicated and time-consuming task, and his tone was very firm and left no room for negotiation.

"Uncle, apart from practicing, Ming Zeng can also assist in handling some emergencies."

Sun Mingzeng didn't have any obvious opinions on the task arrangement, he just made a relatively tactful request. After all, he couldn't just watch other monks busy for the family, while he could feel comfortable consuming a lot of family spiritual objects to practice in seclusion.

In addition, after the cultivation base is successfully promoted to the seventh level of foundation building, relying solely on pure retreat practice is completely unable to meet the needs of cultivation advancement. It is also necessary to conduct some battles or explorations in a timely manner.

"Analyzing the specific situation, if there is a shortage of manpower, it is naturally possible."

Sun Xunmu nodded in approval, then immediately shifted his gaze to Sun Caiyun's body, and showed an embarrassed look.

Although Sun Caiyun spent most of his time cultivating within his family in recent years and rarely traveled outside, as his alchemy skills improved, he became quite famous in the entire Song Dynasty cultivation world, especially among some casual cultivators. Especially obvious.

Some hostile forces will definitely target Sun Caiyun's body, and will destroy him if they have the chance.

However, as the only second-level alchemist in the family so far, his role in the entire family is also quite unquestionable.

"Caiyun, in addition to the affairs of the alchemy hall, follow me to protect the caravan."

After thinking for three days, Sun Xunmu finally decided to train it to a certain extent according to the previous strategy to improve its combat effectiveness as much as possible.

"My granddaughter has no shirk"

Sun Caiyun also looked eager to give it a try, and at the same time began to plan to purchase some spiritual objects needed for personal protection in the future.

Three months later, a white aura appeared in the cave where Sun Shengyuan was in retreat, which was the sign of the monk's death. Sun Shengyuan, the mainstay of the Sun family, officially announced that he had exhausted his longevity and passed away, and the entire family fell into sadness. among.
