Chapter 214: Alliances (Part 2) (Subscribe, Collect)
Sun Mingsheng and Sun Mingzeng's exploration of the cave of the senior cultivators was a fruitful one. After they separated, they prepared to practice in seclusion for a period of time, refine the elixir to improve their own strength, and break the bottleneck as soon as possible to advance to the middle stage of foundation building.
The family did not ask about the gains of the two people, but only confirmed the safety of the two people. Therefore, apart from handing over a copy of the inheritance, there was no other action.
Sun Mingsheng returned a second-grade lower-grade spiritual weapon obtained from the cave to the family treasury. In addition, according to the discussion of the two, half of the second-grade upper-grade snow jade elixir obtained this time was given to Sun Shengyuan and Sun Shengmei for the improvement of their cultivation.
Sun Shengyuan himself has reached the fifth level of foundation building. After these years of peaceful cultivation and the full support of the family, he is not far from the sixth level of foundation building.
He only needs to refine these snow jade elixir as an opportunity, and perhaps he can advance to the late stage of foundation building before the family's Hundred Battles Conference is held in the entire Song Kingdom.
The importance of this competition is unquestionable. It is related to the allocation of shares in many large and medium-sized spiritual stone veins. Although the number is not large, it is also a considerable amount after a long period of time. The more important thing is that it is stable and continuous.
"All affairs have been handled. It is time to retreat for a while. It seems that I have seen the hope of being promoted to the middle stage of foundation building." Sun Mingsheng has high hopes for this retreat.
On the third day, a ray of light flashed, and a special envoy from the Beast Taming Sect arrived at the foot of Shenquan Mountain
"Shenquan Mountain, Sun Xunmu, the patriarch of the Sun family, brought the family's foundation-building cultivators to meet the special envoy of the Beast Taming Sect. I wonder what important matter you have come for this time?" In the meeting hall, the six foundation-building cultivators of the family gathered together again, including Sun Mingsheng and Sun Mingzeng who were just preparing for retreat.
"The Sun family should have seven cultivators, one of whom is at the eighth level of foundation building. Why didn't he come out to meet us? Could it be that your family is unwilling to respond to the sect's call?" The envoy from the Beast Taming Sect was still at the late stage of foundation building, but he had never revealed his specific cultivation.
"The envoy is talking about the elder of the family, Sun Changfeng, who once led a team to the Beast Taming City to resist the beast tide, but he had exhausted his lifespan a few years ago and passed away." Sun Xunmu explained simply, obviously not wanting to cause misunderstandings from the Beast Taming Sect.
"In that case, it is Meng Lang, the envoy, who is agile and powerful. He repeatedly killed second-level high-quality monsters in the beast tide and made great contributions. I still remember it vividly." I don't know whether it is true or false, but there is still basic respect for the deceased.
"The Sun family has always been respectful to the sect. Whenever there is a call, we will go all out and obey it. Please understand the envoy." Under the wings of the Beast Taming Sect, they naturally dare not be dissatisfied.
"The sect is naturally aware of the loyalty of the Sun family. This time, this envoy comes here on the order of the sect to recruit four foundation-building cultivators to gather in Qingxi Valley, Qingxi County, which borders Huanling Sect, within two months. If they fail to reach the designated location on time, the sect will punish them." The envoy immediately announced the real purpose of this trip.
"Four foundation-building cultivators? The Sun family is limited in strength. Please understand that if we lose the foundation-building cultivators to guard, if something unexpected happens, we may not be able to guard and ensure the safety of the family." Sun Xunmu struggled from the bottom of his heart.
"Since you are summoned by the sect and serve the sect, the sect will naturally send a law enforcement team to patrol and ensure the safety of your family." The envoy seemed to have a plan in mind, so how could he be stumped by such a question?
"You just need to arrive at the assembly point on time according to the sect's requirements. If anyone makes trouble during this period, the sect elders will naturally suppress it with thunder and lightning," the envoy said decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.
The envoy of the Beast Taming Sect did not stay in Shenquan Mountain for too long. Half an hour later, he turned into a stream of light and left under the farewell of the Sun family. Of course, some valuable local specialties are also indispensable.
These valuable spiritual objects are also the due meaning of the Beast Taming Sect envoys' hard work to travel to various places. They do not expect to play some special role. They just hope that these envoys will not belittle them to the sect. That's all.
Therefore, the envoys who have a certain degree of autonomy in announcing the conscription order in the Beast Taming Sect have always been a fiercely contested position. If they are lucky enough, one action is enough to earn the spiritual objects needed to maintain several years of practice.
"Qingxi Valley in Qingxi County borders the Huanling Sect. This large-scale call for foundation-building cultivators, is it to fight the Huanling Sect?" In the meeting hall, Sun Xunmu showed a trace of doubt on his face.
The five major sects of Song State are of similar strength, each occupying a fixed territory. Minor friction may exist, but large-scale battles have been eliminated for nearly a thousand years.
"For the family, the Beast Taming Sect and the Huanling Sect are both huge monsters. Since the call has been issued, the meaning is clear. No matter what the specific task is, the primary task of this operation is to ensure the safety of their own lives and wait for an opportunity to gain a share of the benefits." Sun Shengyuan finalized the goal of this operation.
"Great-grandfather, I request to fight on behalf of the family. Since I was promoted to the foundation-building stage, I have spent most of my time in the Beast Control City. The family's sincere love for me is clear, but the growth of any cultivator cannot be protected forever under the wings of the family." Sun Mingzeng was the first to stand up and ask for a fight, and his reasons were quite sufficient.
Thanks to his excellent qualifications of dual spiritual roots, Sun Mingzeng has been the core cultivator of the entire family since he embarked on the road of cultivation. In addition to some necessary training, he has been practicing most of the time.
It was only in recent years, after being promoted to the foundation-building stage, and the emergence of Sun Mingsheng, who has three spiritual roots and is on par with others, that he had some opportunities to fight against monsters.
This time, the Beast Control Sect once again issued a call for conscription. No matter what, he must go to participate in the war, so his attitude is unprecedentedly firm.
"When the family is facing a crisis, the younger generation of cultivators are brave and fearless. This is the style of our Sun family. Don't worry. I agree to this expedition." Sun Shengyuan has had a lot of experience in his life. Since he already has the ability to protect himself, participating in this most brutal battle is also a kind of exercise.
"Xunmu, you go to contact the Yan family and the Zhao family in person. They are all cultivators in Pingyang County and have lived next to each other for generations. If there is a possibility of fighting, they will naturally report to each other for warmth. You must make it clear how powerful it is." In this predictable large-scale battle, it is always good to have more strength. It is also another means of forming alliances within the scope of the Beast Taming Gate.
The Yan, Sun, and Zhao families naturally have some conflicts in their daily struggle for various resources, but they also have some bottom lines in their hearts. It is precisely because of this that they are trustworthy partners on the battlefield.
