Chapter 490 Sheng Yuan Passed Away (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)
"Mingzeng, this is the fate of life, so you should focus on improving your cultivation. As Uncle Shengyuan said, as long as you can successfully condense the golden elixir in the future, all your efforts today will be valuable."
As a witness of all this, Sun Xunmu naturally understood the feeling of Sun Shengyuan who could only watch the elders of the family sitting and dying helplessly at this moment.
"Uncle, please rest assured. I naturally understand the importance of it and can slowly adjust it. It just takes some time."
As a qualified cultivator, Sun Mingzeng's ability to adjust various emotions is a basic instinct among the basics. The current stress response is just a transformation that has not come for a while. That's all.
"Grandfather Shengyuan has a short life span. Grandaunt Shengmei has been in charge of the Lingtao Mountain branch of the family for many years. Thanks to her efforts, the family has been thriving over the years, but her life span is also running out."
"Once the two ancestors pass away, the family will not have any new cultivators to advance to the foundation-building stage in a short period of time. Do you know what this means?"
Sun Xunmu laid out the bloody reality in front of several younger cultivators who have grown up.
Sun Shengyuan and Sun Shengmei have represented the entire Sun family in the cultivation world for a long time in the past. Once they pass away, their influence cannot be underestimated. The obvious decline in the family's strength will definitely attract the Yan family's temptation.
"Grandfather, what should we do?"
After thinking about the hidden dangers, Sun Caiyun's tone was already a little fearful. Although he had tried his best to suppress it, he still had a clear judgment for a group of experienced and experienced cultivators.
As the first and last foundation-building cultivator of the Cai generation, Sun Caiyun has shown superb alchemy skills and talent since he embarked on the road of cultivation.
Since childhood, he has spent most of his time in the family alchemy hall to study or refine various elixirs. He rarely goes out and has very little combat experience. It can be said that he is a cultivator who grew up under the protection of the family elders. Suddenly hearing that the two respected elders of the family are about to pass away one after another, he inevitably has some worries in his heart, which affects his mood.
"Caiyun, improving alchemy skills and thinking about new elixirs are certainly important, but as a cultivator, some due training is still indispensable."
Sun Xunmu was obviously dissatisfied with this performance, and his tone inevitably contained some reprimands.
As time passed, it was inevitable that Sun Shengyuan and Sun Shengmei would pass away one after another, and the number of foundation-building cultivators in the family was also decreasing. Every foundation-building cultivator should have the ability to undertake a certain task alone in the future.
"Granddaughter has made a note of it."
Sun Caiyun nodded with a look of grievance, but a cultivator's habits cannot be easily changed, as the saying goes, it is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature.
Of course, in today's Sun family meeting, Sun Caiyun's performance was just a small episode, and the most important thing was still the arrangement of various subsequent plans for the family.
The three generations of cultivators, Chang, Sheng, and You, who were originally the backbone of the family, have all died. At present, Sun Xunmu is not only the patriarch of the family, but also the highest generation of foundation-building cultivator who can handle various affairs in the family.
Of course, there are still some old and strong Qi-refining cultivators in the You generation who have not yet passed away, but they are limited by their own cultivation and are not qualified to participate in such discussions.
Although the cultivation family is driven by blood, the real backing is still their own strength, which will not change at all no matter where they are.
"Mingwang, as the person in charge of the family's Spirit Beast Valley, you will need to shift your energy in the future and take on some family affairs. In addition, after a little preparation in the near future, you will go to the Lingtao Mountain family branch to replace Grandma Sheng Mei. You can bring a second-level monster with you and ask her to return to the family."
Sun Xunmu arranged in an orderly manner. The first thing was to make follow-up arrangements for the family's Lingtao Mountain branch. In recent years, the Lingtao Mountain family branch has traded with the family every year. A large number of specialties unique to the Ten Thousand Mountains are also very popular throughout the Song Kingdom. They earn a lot of resources for the family every year and gradually become an indispensable income.
"Please rest assured, uncle. Grandson will complete the task."
Sun Mingwang assured confidently that he was also very interested in going to the Ten Thousand Mountains to take charge and look for opportunities.
"Mingzeng, from now on, your only task is to represent me in the family and focus on cultivation. The spiritual objects needed in the cultivation process will be supplied by the family treasury."
"In the future, the family caravan and the shops in various markets will be managed by me personally."
Sun Xunmu took on the most complicated and time-consuming task without hesitation, and his tone was quite firm and there was no room for negotiation.
"Uncle, Mingzeng can also assist in handling some emergencies in addition to cultivation."
Sun Mingzeng did not have any obvious opinions on the task arrangement, but only made a relatively tactful request. After all, he could not watch other cultivators busy for the family while he was at ease to consume a large number of family spiritual objects in seclusion.
In addition, after successfully advancing to the seventh level of foundation building, relying solely on pure seclusion and practice is no longer able to meet the needs of cultivation advancement. It is also necessary to conduct some battles or explorations at the right time.
"Analyze the specific situation. If there is a shortage of manpower, it is naturally possible."
Sun Xunmu nodded in approval, and immediately turned his eyes to Sun Caiyun's body, revealing a look of embarrassment.
Although Sun Caiyun has been practicing in the family most of the time in recent years and rarely travels outside, with the improvement of alchemy skills, he has also gained some reputation in the entire Song Kingdom cultivation world, especially among some casual cultivation groups.
Some hostile forces will definitely lock their targets firmly on Sun Caiyun's body, and once they have the opportunity, they will destroy it.
As the only second-level alchemist in the family so far, the role she plays in the entire family is quite unquestionable.
"Caiyun, in addition to the affairs of the alchemy hall, follow me to guard the caravan"
After thinking for three days, Sun Xunmu finally decided to train her to a certain extent according to the previous strategy to improve her combat effectiveness as much as possible.
"My granddaughter has no choice but to do it"
Sun Caiyun also looked eager to try, and at the same time began to plan to buy some spiritual objects for self-defense.
Three months later, a white breath appeared in the cave where Sun Shengyuan was in seclusion, which was the sign of a monk's death. Sun Shengyuan, the mainstay of the Sun family, officially announced that his life span had run out and he had died, and the whole family was plunged into sadness.
