Chapter 45: Interception
Although the Sun family is not strong, they also attach great importance to the development and continuation of the family. The most important thing is the training of new foundation-building cultivators.
Based on the actual situation, the elders of the family select the two best people in each generation for training. In addition to providing double the salary of normal family members, they will also get more opportunities to exercise.
At the end of each year, the family will also provide a bottle of first-grade high-quality spiritual wine or a first-grade high-quality spiritual fruit.
It seems that the number is not much, but over time, the cultivation between different family members will also be widened.
Every year earlier, advancing to the ninth level of Qi training means an additional possibility of successfully seeking promotion to the foundation-building stage.
"This time, the autumn pear fruit meeting, the three of you have made great contributions to the family. After returning to the family, you will be rewarded according to your merits. Pack up and prepare to return to the family." Sun Xunmu immediately asked to return to the family after returning to the bamboo forest courtyard.
"Uncle, we haven't had time to visit the beautiful scenery of Yuquan Mountain. Can we stay for a day or two?" Sun Mingwang asked tentatively.
"No room for bargaining, we'll set off in a quarter of an hour," Sun Xunmu did not explain too much.
"What's wrong with the old man, uncle? He's getting more and more agitated, wait for me," Sun Mingwang whispered, and then followed Sun Mingzeng and the others away.
A quarter of an hour later, under the control of Sun Xunmu, the Feiyu Boat had turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the distance.
Under the cover of darkness, the figure of the Feiyu Boat soon disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
The speed of the Feiyu Boat was unprecedentedly fast, and Sun Xunmu almost pushed it with all his strength without hesitating to consume the mana in his dantian quickly.
At this time, even if Sun Mingzeng and the other two lacked relevant experience, they had already noticed something.
"Uncle, are you worried that someone is crazy enough to kill people and steal treasures?" Sun Mingsheng was the first to ask.
"It's not too stupid. At the auction of Yuquan Mountain, a bottle of evil-removing water was sold at a high price. Someone will definitely take the risk to buy a spiritual object for foundation building." Sun Xunmu has been working hard for decades and is too familiar with this situation.
"It's just a bottle of evil-removing water with mixed quality, not a foundation-building pill. Is it worth it?" Sun Mingzeng raised a more profound question.
"As long as a spiritual object for foundation building is obtained, there will be a glimmer of hope for advancement to the foundation-building period. How many cultivators can only watch their lifespan pass away because of the lack of a spiritual object for foundation building?" Sun Xunmu's tone was a little bitter.
He has been honing at the ninth level of Qi training for nearly twenty years. His strength has reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi training and there is no hope of advancement.
This bottle of evil-removing water, which only increases the success rate of foundation building by 10% and has a huge side effect of dying on the spot if it fails, is also prepared for him in a sense.
After all, the foundation-building pill is too rare. In the entire Song Kingdom, only the five major sects have the ability to refine the foundation-building pill.
If each subordinate family wants to exchange a foundation-building pill, they not only need to pay a large amount of spiritual stones and precious cultivation resources, but also have to complete a series of extremely dangerous tasks, which can be said to be a life-and-death struggle.
It is precisely under the pressure of this situation that other spiritual objects that have a slight effect of improving the success rate of foundation-building will enter the competition among the cultivators, and the evil-removing water is just one of them.
Moreover, these spiritual objects with relatively large side effects are not too obvious, and they are still fiercely fought over by many small and medium-sized families or independent cultivators.
Even if it is a small and medium-sized family, it has at least been passed down for hundreds of years and has hundreds of cultivators. Its financial resources are naturally not comparable to the power of an independent cultivator.
Therefore, in this competition, the winner is usually a family cultivator, of course, this so-called victory is just the beginning.
Those who have not succeeded and have little time left to impact the foundation-building will most likely choose to take risks.
Victory will get a chance to advance to the foundation-building stage, and failure will at most just leave a life behind.
As for the pursuit from the cultivation family, they would not take it to heart. The casual cultivators are usually lone rangers, and it is too normal for them to move to another place after shooting.
Half a day later, the Feiyu Boat stopped above a forest, and Sun Xunmu stared at the bottom.
Sun Mingzeng and the other two also nodded to each other, each of them offered a magic weapon, with a serious face, obviously ready for a do-or-die battle.
In just three or five breaths, five cultivators with murderous auras and covered in black clothes appeared. Two were in the ninth level of Qi training, two were in the eighth level of Qi training, and one was in the seventh level of Qi training. It was obvious that they were coming with bad intentions.
"Go, kill without mercy, don't hold back." Sun Xunmu was also an experienced old cultivator. Seeing this situation, he knew that it was impossible to end well.
Sun Xunmu jumped up and the six blades had turned into a stream of light and rushed forward. They were the set of magic weapons, the Purple Moon Knife, which was purchased at a high price at the auction.
The Purple Moon Blade split into three and directly entangled the two black-robed cultivators at the ninth level of Qi training, and they fought fiercely.
At this point, Sun Mingsheng and the other two naturally would not hold back. Sun Mingzeng had the highest level of cultivation, and he used the iron ruler to entangle with the two cultivators at the eighth level of Qi training.
Sun Mingsheng and Sun Mingwang were two against one, ready to kill the only Qi training level 7 monk among the black monks with an absolute advantage.
After they killed their opponents, they could turn back to support Sun Mingzeng, and finally gather the strength of the four to kill the two Qi training level 9 monks.
This is also the most suitable method for the current situation. As long as Sun Mingsheng and the other two can successfully break through the situation, this battle will be a sure win.
This method is also very limited. It can only be truly used between clansmen who have absolute trust and are connected by blood.
The battle was about to break out. Sun Mingsheng used the fire-gathering bottle to spew out hot flames crazily, hitting the black monk.
At this time, Sun Mingwang also changed his usual playful smile and used a first-grade high-quality flying knife to assist Sun Mingsheng in fighting the enemy.
Moreover, he was very clear about his own positioning and his own strengths and weaknesses. Every time the flying knife appeared, it was the only way for the black monk to dodge the flames.
This black-robed cultivator at the seventh level of Qi training was not an easy man to deal with. Two fist-sized spherical magic weapons kept flying in the air, trying to collide from different directions.
This was a magic weapon that purely used its own power. Although it looked simple, its power was also quite good.
In the other two battle groups, Sun Mingzeng could still use his own cultivation as an advantage to maintain a relatively stalemate.
It was a bit difficult for Sun Xunmu to fight against two equally experienced cultivators at the ninth level of Qi training alone. Fortunately, he had the help of the Purple Moon Sword. Although he was at a disadvantage, he could still hold on.
Of course, the time that Sun Xunmu could hold on was limited. If he could not open up the situation within the agreed time, then the five of them would definitely face failure. This showed how difficult the situation was.
