Chapter 362 Family Discussion (Subscription, Collection)
The saying "a cunning rabbit has three burrows" is not just a saying. With the continuous growth of the Sun family over the years, the existing territory and resource supply have inevitably become somewhat tight.
If the sphere of influence is expanded rashly, it is very likely to cause changes and wars in Pingyang County. If this attracts the intervention of the Beast Taming Sect, it will be a real loss.
It is better to simply separate some cultivators to develop in the Ten Thousand Mountains. After all, in the minds of most cultivators in Song State, this is a barren land. Even if a heritage is established, it will not attract the attention of others. Moreover, this is a typical place with a large area and a small population, and it will not cause dissatisfaction among the tribes that reproduce and inherit here.
Of course, in the most realistic situation at present, it would be a pity to abandon the spiritual peach trees all over the mountain. They can be used to assist the family cultivators in improving their cultivation, and can also be sold to the outside world in exchange for a large number of spiritual stones. It is simply a profitable business.
"This kind of matter of establishing a family branch ultimately requires the elders of the family to discuss, so I will use the blood communication talisman as a reminder." Sun Mingsheng did not hesitate for too long. He tore open the healed wound and took out a drop of blood from his heart.
Sun Mingsheng used blood as talisman ink on his right index finger and kept dancing on a piece of fur taken from a second-level medium-grade monster. At the same time, the input of mana in his dantian never stopped during the whole process. Soon, a talisman with blood-red exuding throughout the body was formed. It was the blood communication talisman.
This talisman uses the purest blood between cultivators as a traction, and can pass some simple information across many obstacles. The difficulty of refining is not high. The only price is a drop of extremely pure blood from the heart.
"I hope the family can make a wise decision." Looking at the talisman that has turned into a red lightsaber and disappeared between heaven and earth, Sun Mingsheng muttered to himself.
In the talisman, he simply gave a basic description of the environment of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the main conditions of the Monkey Mountain. Whether it can improve the impression of the family's foundation-building cultivators that the Hundred Thousand Mountains are extremely barren is still an unknown.
"I can't interfere with the family's decision. The most important thing at the moment is to repair my own injuries. I wonder if this Lingtao Mountain will attract more monsters' greed?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a worried look on his face.
In addition to the inheritance of tribes of all sizes in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the dominant force is still the huge number of monsters.
If it weren't for the fierce fighting between the different monster races, the cultivators would not be able to gain a foothold here.
After tens of thousands of years or even longer development, in the mature countries where cultivators have dominated, the monsters are already at an absolute disadvantage. Most of the time, they can only passively be beaten, just to seek a chance to survive.
Therefore, in the Song Kingdom's cultivation world, the beast tide has almost become a completely past historical event, and in the Ten Thousand Mountains, the beast tide is also the most severe test of a tribe's strength. In every large and small beast tide, some weak tribes are often completely annihilated and turned into ashes.
However, all these concerns are based on the family's agreement to establish a branch in Lingtao Mountain, and they did not linger in his mind for too long.
In a simple stone cave near the second-level inferior spiritual peach tree, after repeatedly confirming that it was the place with the most concentrated spiritual power, he sat cross-legged here to regulate his breath, and went all out to quickly operate the Great Circulation, refining all the spiritual power around him to replenish the insufficient mana in the Dantian.
The sun rose and the moon set. At noon on the second day, a red lightsaber had appeared on the top of the mountain where the base camp of the Shenquan Mountain family in Pingyang County was located, and it kept wandering left and right.
"It turned out to be the blood communication talisman sent by Mingsheng?" A slightly old voice, a flash of light, the talisman disappeared, and it appeared again in the hands of an old man sitting cross-legged in the jungle. It was Sun Shengyuan, the only late-stage foundation-building cultivator in the Sun family.
This cultivator felt that his potential had been exhausted. He traveled for a while to earn resources for the family and find some excellent talents with potential.
Unfortunately, he tried his best to pick some commonly used second-level middle and lower-grade spiritual medicines. There were only three or five cultivators with four or five spiritual roots who had the qualifications to practice. They could only be used as some fresh blood to expand the family in the future.
"There is such a Lingtao Mountain that gathers the great achievements of heaven and earth in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. If a small number of cultivators are sent here to establish a family branch and expand it, it is also a good strategy. The most important thing is that the Hundred Thousand Mountains are not as barren as imagined." Sun Shengyuan also fell into a deep thought.
This matter is extremely effective for the current situation of the family from any aspect, but once it falls into a crisis, the monks sent out may fall into an extremely dangerous situation. Obviously, this is not an easy thing to do.
"Well, let's start to gather the remaining foundation-building monks in the family to discuss it."
Two days later, except for Sun Mingsheng who was far away in the Ten Thousand Mountains, the remaining seven foundation-building monks in the family reunited.
"This is the blood communication talisman that Mingsheng passed from the Ten Thousand Mountains to the family. Please take a look." Sun Shengyuan came straight to the point without hiding anything.
"Grandfather, with the increase of the number of cultivators in the family, the supply of various resources has always been limited. If it were not for the continuous sale of some elixirs and spiritual tools in exchange for some spiritual stones in recent years, I am afraid that the family would once again enter a state of deficit. If a branch is established in the Ten Thousand Mountains, it can effectively save the pressure of the family." Sun Mingzeng was the first to agree.
"Having a second-level low-grade spiritual peach tree and hundreds of first-level spiritual peach trees, this alone is a considerable income. Some of the spirits are also beneficial to the growth of spiritual beasts. A family branch can be established." Sun Mingwang followed closely and also clearly agreed.
"Lingtao Mountain, located in the Shiwan Mountains, is of course extremely good in all aspects, but the family's strength is limited. If we want to establish a branch here, we need to send at least one or two foundation-building cultivators to take charge. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, we will be unable to protect ourselves." Sun Youhai is completely based on the current strength of the family.
"Pingyang County is currently in a relatively stable and balanced state, with three families coexisting peacefully. This state is both a constraint and a development. I agree with the establishment of a family branch, but whether to choose a remote place like the Shiwan Mountains still requires comprehensive consideration." The family patriarch Sun Xunmu solemnly expressed his opinion.
As the patriarch of the family, his opinion is not to be underestimated.
