Chapter 270: The Fourth Level of Foundation Building (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)

From then on, unless the fellows invited by the family's foundation-building cultivators could enter the main peak of Shenquan Mountain, they could only communicate and meet guests on the Welcoming Peak.

This also reduced the risks faced by the family. Even if someone with ill intentions came, the damage caused would be limited if they did not enter the main peak.

Of course, welcoming guests is only one of its functions. After the development of the family, all the places with abundant spiritual power have been opened up into neat spiritual fields.

The lush and vibrant spiritual rice thrives in it. Different cultivators are busy in each spiritual field, either condensing spiritual rain to irrigate the spiritual rice, or using the ground-shaking hoe to loosen the already hardened spiritual field, or using different means to kill aphids.

In recent years, with the increasing strength and influence of the family, the Sun family has also begun to try to select some cultivators with good moral character from the casual cultivators as vassals.

They can use the stable first-level middle-grade spiritual veins on the Yingke Peak to practice, or rent the spiritual fields on this peak. The only task is to complete a family task assigned by the Sun family every year.

The difficulty of this task is determined according to the cultivator's cultivation level, either hunting some first-level monsters, or digging some relatively rare and unpopular spiritual medicines, or paying some spiritual talismans or spiritual pills according to their own auxiliary skills, etc.

It should be noted that there is no reward for this task, but they need to pay the necessary price to live in Yingke Peak.

This condition is not too harsh in the entire cultivation world. In recent years, more than 30 mid-to-late stage cultivators have chosen to settle here and become vassals of the Sun family.

More than 30 Qi-refining cultivators are already a considerable fortune. Just completing a family task every year can bring thousands of spiritual stones.

The Sun family only needs to pay a piece of land to live in. For a family with not enough cultivators, it is also a win-win deal.

The only pity is that the Sun family is limited in strength, and there has never been a real foundation-building cultivator to join, so the power that can be borrowed is always limited.

Fifty years is a long time span for both Qi-refining cultivators and foundation-building cultivators, and there are only five years left before the opening of the Song Kingdom Hundred Races Trial Conference.

As the backbone of the family, the foundation-building cultivators have also significantly improved their cultivation strength in these years.

With the supply of sufficient elixirs and spiritual medicines, Sun Shengyuan finally successfully broke through the bottleneck and promoted to the seventh level of foundation-building in the 45th year of his retreat, stepping into the threshold of the late stage of foundation-building, becoming another late-stage foundation-building cultivator in the family after Sun Changfeng, who has already passed away.

Unfortunately, in order to impact the seventh level of foundation-building, in addition to the consumption of various spiritual objects, it is also a considerable consumption and pressure on one's own potential.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of spiritual power feedback, he broke through two small bottlenecks in succession and promoted to the seventh level of foundation-building. It will take at least twice the time to make up for it in the future.

Sun Shengyuan's remaining life span is less than a hundred years, which means that it is almost at the cost of his future path.

Whether it is the development of a family or a sect, similar situations are always inevitable, and someone always needs to sacrifice.

Sun Shengyuan's efforts must be valuable. Sun Mingsheng, who was in seclusion at the same time, also successfully broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the fourth level of foundation building in the fiftieth year, stepping into the threshold of the middle stage of foundation building.

The price paid for this is also quite high. The lily pills that had the effect of consolidating the foundation from the cave of the old man Qiansou were consumed.

The spiritual objects obtained from various resources obtained during the trip to Huanlingmen were also consumed, and the sufficient storage bags became shriveled again.

"The gap between the early and middle stages is so obvious, and the bottleneck is far beyond imagination. If it weren't for the red star jade as a supplement at the last moment, I'm afraid it would only fail in the end." After the initial consolidation of the cultivation, Sun Mingsheng showed a fearful expression on his face.

This time, being able to break the bottleneck at the last moment was indeed a matter of luck. During this fifty-year retreat, most of the time was spent repeating the same thing, that is, pulling the mana in the Dantian to wash towards the bottleneck again and again.

It was precisely by adopting this most traditional but indispensable means, with seemingly useless impacts again and again, at the cost of forty years, the bottleneck was worn away by more than two-thirds under the condition of water dripping through the stone.

Every impact at the cost of mana will cause a certain degree of consumption of the mana in the Dantian, which is also the reason for the large-scale consumption of various resources.

If it were not for the cost of enough spiritual objects, how could Sun Mingsheng persist for such a long time? And successfully achieve the final victory?

In fact, any promotion of any cultivator's cultivation level is essentially based on the consumption of a large number of resources.

In the final analysis, the improvement of cultivators' cultivation level is just another way to show the competition and utilization of resources.

Of course, Sun Mingsheng's advancement in cultivation this time came at the cost of spiritual power and spiritual objects. Although it took a considerable amount of time, it did not have a very obvious impact on his future potential.

Sun Mingzeng successfully advanced to the third level of foundation building when his spiritual power was fed back. After continuing to practice in seclusion for several years, he was the first to come out of seclusion and is still in charge of the shop in the Beast Taming City.

These years will naturally not be wasted. While maintaining the operation of the shop to earn spiritual stones, he will go to the depths of the Beast Taming Mountains from time to time to hunt monsters and pick spiritual medicines. With the cooperation of the Flying Knife Gourd and the Dingshui Flag, he gradually made a great reputation among the foundation-building cultivators in the Beast Taming City.

In addition, he has never despised his own cultivation. With the investment of a large amount of resources, he has also been promoted to the peak of the third level of foundation building. With his dual spiritual roots, it will be much easier to advance to the middle stage of foundation building. Maybe he is just waiting for a suitable opportunity now.

With the passage of time and the full support of the Beast Taming Sect, the Beast Taming City has once again become prosperous, with countless cultivators coming and going every day.

The Sun family shop located on the core street has become more and more famous in recent years. Various first-level spiritual objects with good quality and low prices are open for supply, and a few second-level spiritual objects with excellent quality are emerging in an endless stream. Occasionally, third-level spiritual objects suitable for the Golden Core Stage are also sold.

More importantly, the price of various spiritual objects obtained from the depths of the Beast Taming Mountains from the hands of casual cultivators is fair and honest, thus winning the trust of many cultivators. There is a group of extremely fixed customers, and sufficient profits can be earned from this in and out.

As the family has made great progress in alchemy, refining, and making talismans, more of the spiritual stones earned have remained in the family, becoming another stable source of income and motivation.
