Chapter 491 The End of Life (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)
Of course, for a family, the sadness caused by the death of any cultivator is limited in duration, after all, the attention of all cultivators is always on the promotion of cultivation.
After Sun Shengyuan passed away, the family held a grand funeral for him to honor his contribution to the family in the past hundreds of years.
One month after the funeral, the family returned to normal, and the related cultivators began to get busy, especially the foundation-building cultivators.
"Uncle, since my niece has married into the Sun family, as a foundation-building cultivator, while enjoying the family's benefits, she naturally needs to assume corresponding obligations"
On this day, Bai Qingling, who entered seclusion after leaving the secret place, took the initiative to come to Sun Xunmu's cave and volunteered.
"Qing Ling's strength is far superior to that of the cultivators of the same level, so the family will not waste it. In the future, he will be responsible for the transportation and protection of spiritual objects between Shenquan Mountain and Lingtao Mountain."
Sun Xunmu had already made a plan in his mind. After all, as the family sells a large number of spiritual objects from the Shiwan Mountains in the store every year, it has inevitably attracted the attention of many independent cultivators and even family cultivators.
Among them, as the old rival of the Sun family, the equally matched Yan family is naturally the pioneer. They have sent family cultivators several times to try to secretly follow the caravans of the Sun family transporting spiritual objects.
If it were not for the fact that the family cultivators in the late Qi training period who led the caravan were familiar with the terrain and had abundant experience, it is possible that the situation of the Lingtao Mountain family branch would have been leaked early, attracting more people's prying eyes.
Recently, some foundation-building cultivators whose specific identity information cannot be identified have been found to follow the caravans deep in the Shiwan Mountains.
The Sun family naturally would not allow such a thing to happen. Bai Qingling has excellent combat power, and as the direct descendant of the Bai family's Jindan ancestor, she naturally has a certain deterrent power.
"My niece promises to complete the task and ensure that the family caravan travels safely between the two places without any mistakes."
Bai Qingling is quite satisfied with this task. In addition to doing what she can for the family, she also has the opportunity to meet Sun Mingsheng.
Since the two got married, they have only been together for less than a year, and then they went their separate ways, busy with their respective cultivation promotion.
Sun Mingsheng's main whereabouts are in the Shiwan Mountains. Bai Qingling is responsible for the transportation of spiritual objects between the two places, which naturally greatly increases the chances of the two meeting. Naturally, she is satisfied with this task.
On Lingtao Mountain in the Shiwan Mountains
In recent years, by selling the specialties of the Shiwan Lingshan Mountains and the spiritual objects unique to the Song Kingdom's cultivation world, the Lingtao Mountain family branch has also made a lot of money.
Most of the spiritual objects need to be handed over to the family treasury, and the remaining half, in addition to meeting the needs of the branch family members, is naturally dedicated to the construction of Lingtao Mountain.
After the hard work of dozens of members of the entire family branch, the entire Lingtao Mountain is almost brand new, completely different from when it first arrived here.
Originally more than a hundred spiritual peach trees of different grades, under the diligent care of a group of cultivators like little bees, have increased by a full thirty trees than before, but most of them are still in the growth period and have not yet bloomed and borne fruit.
The core of the entire Lingtao Mountain is naturally the second-grade spiritual peach tree. When it first arrived here, only one reached the second-grade lower grade.
This second-grade lower-grade spiritual peach tree also thrived under the personal care of Sun Shengmei and successfully promoted to the second-grade middle grade a year ago.
Another first-grade upper-grade spiritual peach tree was also successfully promoted to the second-grade lower grade. With two second-grade spiritual peach trees as the core, a special landscape is formed on Lingtao Mountain.
As the number of spiritual peach trees continued to increase, the entire Lingtao Mountain was almost covered by them, and the unique fragrance of the spiritual peach trees filled the entire Lingtao Mountain at all times.
While the spiritual peach trees consumed the spiritual power of the Lingshan Mountain, they also continued to wave a large amount of spiritual power traveling between heaven and earth from all directions with the wind.
The overall spiritual veins on Lingtao were still the second-level lower-grade spiritual veins without any improvement, but under the nourishment and attraction of the spiritual peach trees, the spiritual power here was no less concentrated than the second-level middle-grade, and it had a significant auxiliary effect on the cultivation of cultivators, and was even better than ordinary spiritual veins.
"In the last stage of my life, I overcame numerous difficulties and dangers to establish a qualified Lingshan family branch for the family. Even if I die in the future, I will have an explanation to the elders of the family and have never failed the trust of the family."
Under the second-level medium-quality spiritual peach tree, feeling the rich spiritual power around him, he has become more and more old in recent years. Only the occasional flash of brilliance in his turbid eyes proves his shrewdness in the past.
"Brother Shengyuan has passed away, and I don't have much time left. I think the cultivator sent by the family should be on the way. It's a pity that I can't see the birth of the first Jindan-stage cultivator of the family."
For the older generation of cultivators in the Sun family, cultivating a Jindan-stage cultivator has always been an obsession that they never forget, and Sun Shengmei is no exception.
Especially in recent years, as her life span was fading, she became more and more stubborn about this point after she felt that her body was becoming increasingly unable to support her.
She felt even more guilty for not being able to provide more help to Sun Mingsheng. In recent years, whenever there was information about some natural treasures that could assist in condensing the golden elixir, she would go to fight for it without hesitation, even if it appeared in the market or at an auction. She would bid for it at a high price at all costs.
Unfortunately, all her efforts were in vain. Not to mention that the truth of various news needed to be judged one by one, even if a spiritual object that could assist in condensing the golden elixir really appeared, how could she, an old cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, be able to peek at it?
The Ten Thousand Mountains seemed sparsely populated, but once a spiritual object that could condense the golden elixir appeared, countless cultivators would suddenly appear from nowhere and swarm in, and every fight was almost in a white-hot state.
The Lingtao Mountain branch of the Sun family represented by Sun Shengmei was ranked last in the sequence, both in terms of fighting and family strength. Almost every time, it was like cannon fodder, the first to be eliminated, and had no power to compete.
But knowing that she could not win, Sun Shengmei was still tireless and would go every time. Over time, she actually made a little reputation. With her cultivation strength, she could fight again and again without encountering a fatal blow, and it was a miracle that she had a good end.
After all, in every fierce competition, countless powerful late-stage foundation-building cultivators and even ninth-level foundation-building cultivators died.
It was just that in recent years, as her lifespan approached, her combat effectiveness continued to decline, and she chose to give up when she was unable to do it.
