110: Chapter 110 Sun Lin Establishes His Foundation!

...

At the top of Boan Peak, spiritual mist swirled.

Since the Sun Clan moved in, this spiritual peak, which was unremarkable within the Sect, now exuded a vibrant vitality.

On the mountainside, the heavy stone door burst open with a boom.

A powerful surge of spiritual power swept out, causing the surrounding bamboo forest to rustle and drawing a vortex of Spiritual Qi!

Wearing a brand-new azure Daoist robe, Sun Lin strode out of the secret room.

His face was lean and refined, his eyes held a restrained divine light, and the spiritual power around him surged incessantly; he had remarkably reached the Early Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

With the Aptitude of four Spiritual Roots, he should have been trapped in the Qi Refinement Stage for his entire life.

However, after enduring the Family's blood catastrophe, his Heart-Nature had long since undergone a transformation. Supplemented by the high-quality foundation establishment pill Sun Yao had obtained, and nurtured day and night by this second-rank Spiritual Vein, he finally managed to force his way across this natural chasm!

Sun Mao and Sun Yao were already waiting outside the door.

"Third Brother, you succeeded!"

Sun Mao stepped forward and heavily patted Sun Lin's shoulder, a faint smile squeezing onto his cold, hard face; he hadn't smiled in a long time...

"It was luck."

Sun Lin let out a long breath, a hint of world-weariness flashing in the depths of his eyes:

"If not for Second Sister's support, I wouldn't have even touched the threshold of Foundation Establishment in this lifetime. It's all thanks to Second Sister and Big Brother, and also thanks to the protection of the Old Ancestor."

Sun Yao smiled without wasting words. Reaching into her Storage Pouch, she pulled out two palm-sized tokens—one jade and one wood—and stuffed them directly into Sun Lin's arms.

"These are the tokens for the Vice Peak Master of the Formation Peak and the Vice Peak Master of the Talisman Peak."

"From now on, study the Dao of Formations and Talismans diligently. That foundation establishment pill of yours came with a price; you'll need to repay it slowly yourself."

Sun Yao's tone was calm. Obtaining this foundation establishment pill had cost her many favors, and she had even borrowed the Old Ancestor's name.

Hearing this, Sun Lin's expression remained flat, as if he had already expected it.

"I've troubled Second Sister. I will remember this kindness."

"In the Sect, while seniority and rank are valued, a backer is valued even more."

"It's useless to thank me; the one you should thank is the Old Ancestor."

Sun Yao tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear and looked north toward the thundercloud-covered Zixiao Peak, her eyes filled with complex emotions:

"The Old Ancestor is presiding over Zixiao Peak, so Master was happy to grant this favor."

"You are a Dual Cultivator of formations and Talismans with a solid foundation. You can hold these two positions steadily, but you still need to study diligently to repay the Old Ancestor's kindness."

Sun Lin took a deep breath and tucked the tokens into his robe.

He understood what Sun Yao meant.

The Sun Clan's roots had to be driven deep into the flesh and blood of White Cloud Temple!

"I've also secured the actual vacancies for the Vice Hall Master of the Formation and Talisman Halls for you."

"In the future, pay more attention to the Sect's formation repairs and Talisman distribution."

"Understood."

Sun Lin nodded in acknowledgment: "I will slowly plant our people in. From now on, this is our new home."

After the three of them had a brief discussion...

Sun Lin continued his secluded meditation to stabilize his Realm. Afterward, he would take root within the Formation and Talisman Peaks of White Cloud Temple, repaying his debts while studying his crafts.

As for Sun Yao, she also went into secluded Cultivation. She didn't need to do anything for the Clan or the Sect; her only task was to constantly Cultivate and advance her cultivation level to reach Foundation Establishment Perfection as soon as possible!

As for Sun Mao, his path to the Dao was mostly severed.

Focusing on managing Family affairs became his entire daily routine...

...

Behind the mountainside, five or six hundred acres of medicinal fields were neatly arranged.

Sun Caiya, with a head full of silver hair, was standing by the edge of the fields leaning on a purple bamboo staff.

She was advanced in age with little Lifespan remaining. She no longer concerned herself with the Clan's struggles, pouring all her heart into this medicinal field.

"Chengyue, this Purple Blood Ginseng likes shade; if you water it too much, the roots will rot."

Sun Caiya coughed twice, her voice hoarse.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in a green dress squatted in the mud, nimbly pinching off a section of withered yellow leaf...

From her fingertips, wisps of gentle wood-attribute spiritual power seeped precisely into the soil, nourishing the ginseng roots with light and quick movements.

"Grand-aunt, you rest. I'll take care of these."

Sun Chenyue wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled brightly.

Sun Caiya watched the girl's practiced movements, a hint of relief flashing in her cloudy eyes.

The Sun Clan's Spiritual Plant Legacy finally had a successor. As long as this medicinal field remained, the Sun Clan's foundation would not be broken.
