Su Peng, Su Yun, Su Chang, and Su Ruosu paused when they heard this. Were they being asked to try breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm?
Su Yun waved his hand in protest: “You cheeky chap, we’re all well past our prime, practically one step in the grave, and you want us to attempt breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm?”
“I am not even at seventy percent of my past strength, how am I supposed to breakthrough?”
“Forget it, don’t waste resources.”
Su Chang also nodded, “Indeed, perhaps thirty or forty years ago, if we had Foundation Establishment Pills, we might have a chance to attempt the breakthrough. Now it’s impossible, it’s better to lead a peaceful life without any turmoil.”
Su Peng had a conflicted expression, but eventually, he just sighed.
Having failed once in his previous attempt to breakthrough, his current state was far from its peak.
To attempt a breakthrough with this condition was nothing short of wishful thinking.
Seeing how reluctant the elders were to spend resources on the nearly impossible breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Su Yu hesitated for a moment. He then took out the jade box containing nine Foundation Establishment Pills and said: “But if you don’t try, these
Foundation Establishment Pills will be hard to use.”
“Basically, I can refine one batch of Foundation Establishment Pills for the family every five years.”
“One batch yields around four pills, and if you’re not using it, they will just be left here.’
The Family Head Su Peng, who was sitting nearby, took the jade box. Upon opening it and seeing the nine Foundation Establishment Pills, his hand trembled, he exclaimed incredulously, “So many?! How are there so many?!”
“What do you mean by so many?”
“Let me see.”
Su Yun, Su Chang, Su Ruosu, and the other elder siblings quickly snatched the jade box away.
When they saw the nine Foundation Establishment pills, they all fell silent.
After a long time, Su Yun sighed, closed the jade box and handed it back to Su Peng. He spoke with a mix of gratification and regret, “The family is truly fortunate.’
“The children who were just born in recent years are truly blessed. Their most difficult problem of foundation establishment will be solved before they grow up.”
“If this were several decades ago, or even twenty or thirty years ago—sigh, enough about this.”
“It is good, a blessing.”
Su Bin, after a moment of silence, chuckled, “A few years ago, our Family Head announced a procreation policy for the prosperity of our family. In these years, the number of our young generations has increased several times. Among them are hundreds of children with Spiritual Roots. When they grow up, these resources can be used to enhance their strengths.”
“If you all don’t want to use them, then they can be placed in the family treasury for now.”
“Once our family grows, so too will the need for resources. We need to redouble our efforts for the generations to come, gathering more resources, or we may not have enough.”
“In this way, it will be much easier for them to further develop the family in the future.’
“Hahahaha,” Su Yun laughed heartily, “Yes, yes, Bin is right.’
“Well then, we old guys won’t mingle in these matters any more. It’s all good as it is.”
Sigh.
Seeing the reactions of his elders, Su Yu did not insist.
After all, the probability of Su Yun, Su Peng, and others breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm at their age was indeed very low.
Failure might be unbearable for Su Yun, who is nearing the end of his lifespan.
Switching to the topic of the family’s development and the significant increase in the number of younger generations, the discussion lightened considerably. There was even quite a lot of laughter and cheer, especially considering the dozen or so Foundation Establishment Pills in possession of the family.
With such a foundation, elders like Su Peng and Su Yun were now brimming with confidence, enough to make them laugh in their sleep.
Recall the time when the Su Family had to fight the Lin Family fiercely for possession of a first-grade Spirit Vein.
For a flawed Foundation Establishment Pill, the family had to accumulate resources over many years before they could afford one.
And now, the transformation of the Su Family was truly earth-shattering.
Deep into the night.
Secret chamber.
Su Yu sat cross-legged, practicing the Golden Cicada Technique. His mind instantly emptied, all chaotic thoughts vanished. He focused, entering into a meditative state within moments.
In his mind, the heritage related to Taoist Bing Yu appeared one by one.
The knowledge contained in the jade slip he received from the cave at the bottom of the small ice lake was vast. Apart from the “Heavenly Frost
Descends” cultivation technique for the Nascent Soul Realm, it also had Taoist Bing Yu’s experiences and insights into the path of immortality from his own cultivation to his attempt at breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
This inheritance had its pros and cons, so Su Yu dared not fully integrate this influx of knowledge.
Instead, he sifted through it bit by bit, discerning and reflecting.
“During Taoist Bing Yu’s time, the realm of cultivation here, the Great Moon Prefecture, seemed to be just a large lake with countless islets. His cave dwelling at the Black Market was located in the central isle—uh? By the side of a fourth-grade Spirit Vein?”
Su Yu paused; the Spirit Vein at the Black Market now seems to be only third-grade.
“Perhaps the landscape and the veins have changed?”
Su Yu didn’t ponder over it and put it out of his mind.
“Starting from the age of eight and entering the world of cultivation, Taoist Bing Yu took only ten years to reach the ninth grade of the Qi Refinement Stage from the first grade. With his top-grade ice spiritual root talent, he successfully achieved Foundation Establishment without the aid of a Foundation Establishment Pill. His Foundation Establishment seed is top-grade?”
“Foundation Establishment seeds are categorized into top, middle, bottom, and extreme grade?”
“Establishing foundation with an imperfect Foundation Establishment Pill results in a lower-grade foundation?”
“Establishing a foundation with a perfect Foundation Establishment Pill is considered only mid-grade?”
