Chapter 452

"Clan Leader, the family's cultivators are still not enough. Now there are only one hundred and fifty or sixty. Once we really conquer the Liuyun Mountain Range, relying on these people alone won't work."

"Although at that time, we will give some spirit veins to other families or loose cultivators, our Su family must occupy half of the spirit veins."

"The Liuyun Mountain Range has forty-seven spirit veins above the second tier, which is more than the Taihe Mountain Range, among which five are third-tier."

"There is one third-tier high-grade and one third-tier mid-grade. We can give the third-tier mid-grade to the Yunyang Sect in exchange for one of their Purple Mansion cultivators to come and be stationed there. Then, we can take the three third-tier low-grade ones and make a deal with the Taihe lineage, inviting one of their Purple Mansion cultivators to come. At that time, the Liuyun Mountain Range will have four Purple Mansion cultivators stationed there, which is generally enough to protect its safety."

"As for the demon race invasion in the future, there is no need to worry. In a century, my cultivation, even if it cannot recover to the Nascent Soul stage, will definitely reach the peak of Golden Core."

"The demon race in the ten thousand mountains around the Zheng State does not have fifth-tier demon kings, so there is no need to worry."

"With so many spirit veins, especially the second-tier ones, even if half are given to those loose cultivators or Foundation Establishment families, the remaining half of the spirit veins cannot be fully utilized by the family."

"Then Xiao Jiu, what do you mean?"

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, the Clan Leader was also very moved and excited. If they could really conquer the Liuyun Mountain Range as the foundation of the Su family, then the future of the Su family could definitely become a top-tier cultivation family in the Zheng State.

You must know that among the several major Purple Mansion families in the Zheng State, only the Mo family possessed a third-tier high-grade spirit vein, and the others only had third-tier mid-grade spirit veins.

And their Su family now only possessed one second-tier spirit vein.

Of course, maybe the spirit vein at Yuntai Mountain was not enough now, but if they really conquered the Liuyun Mountain Range, their Su family's small number of people would indeed be unable to control the entire Liuyun Mountain Range, and it would inevitably be wasted at that time.

"So recently, the family can absorb some loose cultivators. As long as they are loyal to the Su family, or attract some loose cultivators to marry into our Su family, we can increase the number of Su family cultivators. Relying solely on birth within the family is still too slow."

Su Fan proposed. Although the Su family's mortal base had reached several hundred thousand, and two or three, or even three to five, spirit roots were born every year, relying on this alone to increase was still too slow.

If they could absorb some loose cultivators, that would be good.

Most loose cultivators were unbearable, but some were elites. Take the Clan Leader, for example. Back then, he was also a loose cultivator. The Su family only had a few cultivators at that time and couldn't even be considered a cultivation family.

However, the Clan Leader went to the Taihe Mountain Range, rose all the way, and after successfully establishing Foundation Establishment, conquered Yuntai Mountain, creating the current prosperity of the Su family.

Besides luck, there was also the Clan Leader's ability.

Some loose cultivators were no worse than the elite disciples of major sects. If they could absorb a portion of these loose cultivators to become Su family members, Su Fan believed that the Su family's future development would be faster.

And with him stationed there, he wasn't afraid of being taken over by outsiders.

After all, with him there, and with the Clan Leader there, even if other outsiders grew big, they still couldn't replace the Su family.

"Done! I will arrange this with Shi'an."

Actually, even if Su Fan didn't mention it, Su Wanjun would have tried it. He had long discovered the Su family's current flaws; the foundation was too thin, and the base couldn't keep up with the speed of development.

Su Wanjun naturally didn't want to stop his steps. After all, it was not easy to have this opportunity.

However, absorbing outsiders was not a small matter. If not handled well, not to mention the Su family falling apart, at the very least, it would make the Su family disciples lose their hearts, which was not a good thing.

And when absorbing outsiders, loyalty was the most important. No one wanted to see someone eating inside and out.

"Hmm! Clan Leader, I have a secret technique here. You can try to see if you can cultivate it."

After saying this, Su Fan took out the secret technique of fusing with spirit wood.

"This is?"

Clan Leader Su Wanjun and Su Shi'an were somewhat puzzled, but when they absorbed this secret technique and saw its function, both of them widened their eyes.

"Xiao Jiu, is this secret technique real?"

Refining spirit wood with the divine soul and using spirit wood to refine spirit energy into magic power was equivalent to cultivating for two days in one day.

"It's real!"

Su Fan nodded, naturally understanding why the two were so excited.

"Xiao Jiu, this secret technique is simply too precious."

Clan Leader Su Wanjun's hands were trembling slightly, and there was no more doubt in his heart. Being able to take out this secret technique, if not a Nascent Soul cultivator, then what? Even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators didn't have such a secret technique.

"Xiao Jiu, this secret technique cannot be leaked. Once leaked, it will be a devastating disaster for our Su family."

Su Wanjun took a deep breath and said.

Obviously, Su Wanjun was also a steady person and was very clear about the pros and cons involved.

"Clan Leader, don't worry. I naturally understand the crisis involved. For the time being, this secret technique is not suitable for others in the Su family. Now, only you and the Great Elder can cultivate it. When our Su family becomes stronger, or when I recover the strength of my previous life's peak, then it can be passed down on a large scale."

"In the future, only those in the Su family who are extremely reliable and have a cultivation of at least the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment can cultivate it."

Su Fan said earnestly.

"Hmm!"

Su Wanjun and Great Elder Su Shi'an nodded, feeling that this was indeed good.

"However, spirit wood is needed, and this spirit wood is not easy to find."

In the secret technique, spirit wood is needed. Ordinary spirit wood won't work, or rather, if the grade is not good, even if refined, the effect of auxiliary cultivation will be very poor.

"This Fire Origin Apricot is very suitable for the Great Elder. You can try to refine it. Perhaps in the future, Great Elder, you might catch up with the Clan Leader."

Su Fan pointed to the third-tier spirit wood Fire Origin Apricot deep in the cave dwelling. This Fire Origin Apricot could be said to be a treasure of the Su family.

The value of this Fire Origin Apricot was very precious to some Purple Mansion families, and if it could advance to the fourth tier, the Fire Origin Apricot produced would be helpful to Golden Core cultivators.

Although this Fire Origin Apricot could not increase lifespan, for cultivators who cultivated fire-attribute techniques, taking it could increase cultivation and magic power.

The value of one or two Fire Origin Apricots could not compare to a Foundation Establishment Pill, but for Foundation Establishment cultivators, the value of the Fire Origin Apricot was even higher than the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After all, this Fire Origin Apricot could even increase the cultivation of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. One was enough to reduce the cultivation time of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator by twenty or thirty years.

As for Su Fan's Fusang Divine Wood, it couldn't bear fruit, but its branches were top-tier materials, and it was also excellent for refining dharma flying swords.

"Perhaps by then, when the Clan Leader opens the Purple Mansion, the Great Elder will be able to follow closely behind. If that really happens, it will be even easier for our Su family to conquer the Liuyun Mountain Range."
