Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 1067 Winning Over Lin Qihe

Inside the Dan Hall of Flaming Mountain.

Yang Qingyu reported Lin Qihe's visit to Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan held the communication talisman left by Lin Qihe, stroked his beard, and examined it. "A very special communication talisman, it seems to have a different aura!"

He was, after all, a talisman master, and could also draw communication talismans, so he was naturally very familiar with the runes on communication talismans.

However, Lin Qihe's communication talisman was clearly different from ordinary communication talismans; it should have been imbued with other spells.

“Ancestor, Senior Lin said that the Impermanent Ghost Sect will attack True Yang Immortal City in half a month. Should we make some preparations in advance?” Yang Qingyu asked.

Yang Zhengshan waved his hand dismissively, "No need!"

It was expected that the Impermanent Ghost Sect would attack True Yang Immortal City.

Neither he nor the Tianyun Sword Sect would give up Zhenyang Immortal City, nor would they allow the Wuchang Ghost Sect to occupy it.

As for preparations, the necessary preparations were actually made long ago.

Baiyun Zhenjun values ​​Zhenyang Immortal City even more than Yang Zhengshan, so how could he not make preparations in advance?

Therefore, Yang Zhengshan was not worried about the Wuchang Ghost Sect's attack on Zhenyang Immortal City at this time; he was more interested in Lin Qihe.

Last time, he was afraid that Lin Qihe would get into big trouble with the Wuchang Ghost Sect, so he didn't meet with Lin Qihe. But now that the Wuchang Ghost Sect is about to attack Zhenyang Immortal City, he no longer has such concerns.

"Go ahead and do your work, I'm going to see Lin Qihe!" Yang Zhengshan said to Yang Qingyu with a kind smile.

"Oh!" Yang Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Ancestor, Senior Lin probably meant no harm!"

Yang Zhengshan looked surprised upon hearing this.

"You seem to treat Lin Qihe a little differently!"

"No, no," Yang Qingyu said somewhat embarrassedly, "I just think Senior Lin is very nice. I can tell he has no ill intentions towards me."

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard, scrutinizing Yang Qingyu from head to toe.

Yang Qingyu cultivates the Spiritual Insight Sutra, which makes her extremely sensitive, even able to sense the good and evil in people's hearts.

She said that Lin Qihe had no ill intentions, and this was not just empty talk, but something she could genuinely sense.

"Come with me to see him!"

He then changed the subject and decided to take Yang Qingyu with him.

Lin Qihe's identity and background were very clear to him. He was from the Qingli Lin family, but the Qingli Lin family had long been destroyed. Now, only a group of ordinary people remained in the Qingli Lin family. Although the Lin family was still the royal family of the Qingli Dynasty, they were no longer a family of immortal cultivators.

After Lin Qihe achieved the Core Formation, he never appeared in the Qingli Dynasty, nor did he take care of the Lin family, which had already been destroyed.

This is actually quite normal. The destruction of a cultivation family does not mean that everyone in the family has died out. Rather, it means that everyone in the family who possesses spiritual apertures has died out, leaving only a group of ordinary people without spiritual apertures.

It's fair to say that the Qingli Lin family of today is not the same as it used to be, so it's normal that Lin Qihe doesn't care.

However, given Lin Qihe's abilities and strength, it would be easy for him to rebuild the Qingli Lin family. In just three to five hundred years, he could rebuild an even more powerful Qingli Lin family.

The reason Lin Qihe didn't do that is probably because he still wanted to take revenge on the Wuchang Ghost Sect.

Yang Zhengshan also had some thoughts about Lin Qihe.

He wanted to win over Lin Qihe and get him to join the Immortal Palace of Living Realm.

Lin Qihe's background is clear, his background is innocent, and he has no grudge against the Yang family.

More importantly, Lin Qihe is also an alchemist. It should be noted that the Lin family of Qingli was once famous for its elixirs.

Lin Qihe may not be a third-tier alchemist yet, but he is definitely a top-tier second-tier alchemist.

A Golden Core cultivator, a second-tier alchemist, and a lone wolf—such a person is undoubtedly the most suitable target for the Immortal Palace to win over.

If he were willing to join the Immortal Palace of Living Beings, Yang Zhengshan wouldn't even need to impose any restrictions on him; he could give him the utmost trust.

……

Upon arriving outside the Yang Family Blessed Land, Yang Zhengshan took out Lin Qihe's communication talisman and crushed it. Unlike ordinary communication talismans that transform into a beam of light and fly out, the talisman condensed into a beam of light and then disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Yang Zhengshan revealed a thoughtful expression.

This is an application of supernatural powers!
It seems to be a spatial supernatural power.

Spatial magic and supernatural abilities can actually be categorized under the category of Void-attribute supernatural abilities.

For example, teleportation is essentially a form of emptiness, which uses the void to instantly move a distance.

The same was true for the communication talisman just now. The communication talisman disappeared not by entering the Great Void, but by entering the void and traveling through the void.

This suggests that the divine Daoist intent that Lin Qihe comprehended was likely the Daoist intent of the Great Void.

"Make tea!"

Yang Zhengshan gave Yang Qingyu an instruction.

Yang Qingyu waved her hand and took a large stone. With a flash of light, a stone table and several stone benches appeared in front of Yang Zhengshan in a moment.

Then she took out spiritual spring water and spiritual tea from her storage bag and began to boil water and brew tea.

Lin Qihe hadn't even arrived yet, but the tea was already brewed.

"Grandpa, please have some tea!" Yang Qingyu handed Yang Zhengshan a bowl of tea.

Yang Zhengshan took it and asked with a smile, "When do you plan to go into seclusion to break through to a higher level?"

"Hehe, I'll be going into seclusion in a few days!" Yang Qingyu said with a smile.

"Well, once you break through, the ancestor will give you a third-tier spiritual item, and have Jizhen refine a better natal magic weapon for you!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Really!" Yang Qingyu looked at Yang Zhengshan with surprise.

“Of course, when have I ever lied to you, ancestor?” Yang Zhengshan said.

"Thank you, Ancestor!" Yang Qingyu smiled radiantly, overjoyed.

Over the years, Yang Zhengshan has become much more distant from his younger generation. However, there are differences in how he distances himself. Ordinary members of the Yang family find it difficult to even see him, but those who become immortal cultivators can see him frequently.

Such as Yang Jizhen, Yang Zongyuan and Yang Qingyu, as well as several younger members of the Yang family who have just begun their cultivation.

Yang Qingyu and he were not exactly close, but they were not strangers either; it was just that Yang Zhengshan had never personally taught her.

As the two were talking, a phantom appeared from not far away.

Yang Zhengshan narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at the suddenly appearing figure.

How could he be completely oblivious?
The person who came was naturally Lin Qihe. After arriving, Lin Qihe would definitely not show himself immediately. He would probably observe the surroundings for a while before showing himself.

But Yang Zhengshan had been keeping an eye on Taixu the whole time, yet he hadn't found any trace of Lin Qihe.

He only realized it when Lin Qihe appeared.

That ability to hide is truly impressive!

Yang Zhengshan muttered to himself.

He was also skilled at concealment, but his concealment was not as effortless as Lin Qihe's.

The Azure Mist within the Jade Gourd can conceal one's aura and energy, but one cannot move quickly while concealed.

Transforming into nothingness allows him to disappear without a trace, but he cannot move after transforming into nothingness. He can only teleport because he can move within the coverage area after transforming into the void.

For example, after he transforms into the void, covering an area of ​​more than ten miles around, he can appear anywhere within this area, but he cannot appear outside the coverage area.

If he wants to go beyond the coverage area, he needs to reveal his form.

Lin Qihe, however, was clearly different. He suddenly appeared beside Yang Zhengshan without revealing his aura, which showed that he could move silently and quickly within the void.

Yang Zhengshan was somewhat surprised by Lin Qihe's supernatural ability. Such an ability was simply an excellent way to save one's life, even more convenient than his own invisibility. After Lin Qihe appeared, his gaze locked onto Yang Zhengshan.

"Fellow Daoist Yang!"

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Lin, it's an honor to meet you!" Yang Zhengshan stood up to greet him.

In fact, the two of them formed their cores at almost the same time. They both formed their cores after Jian Changhe, although Yang Zhengshan might have formed his a few days earlier.

Moreover, they all achieved their core cultivation after obtaining an opportunity from the Sun Cave Heaven.

Therefore, the two actually share a rather deep connection.

"Please sit down!"

After a few polite exchanges, Yang Zhengshan invited Lin Qihe to sit down.

Yang Qingyu, with great perceptiveness, poured tea for Lin Qihe, saying, "Please have some tea, senior!"

Lin Qihe casually sat opposite Yang Zhengshan, picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"What business does Fellow Daoist Yang have with me?"

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Lin to join my Yang family!"

He didn't beat around the bush or keep things in suspense; he spoke very directly.

"Join the Yang family?" Lin Qihe looked at him in confusion. "Not the Tianyun Sword Sect?"

"No, it's the Yang family!"

"No interest!" Lin Qihe refused without hesitation.

If it were the Tianyun Sword Sect, he would consider it. In fact, he really wanted to join the Tianyun Sword Sect. Whether it was True Monarch Baiyun or Que Lingyu, they were both powerful figures he knew well.

Joining the Tianyun Sword Sect would be entirely beneficial to him, and he could also use the sect's power to avenge his fallen clansmen.

As for joining the Yang family, why would a Golden Core cultivator like him join an immortal clan?
Why don't he create his own immortal race later?

His refusal did not displease Yang Zhengshan. Yang Zhengshan simply smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, please don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Perhaps you don't understand the Yang family!"

Lin Qihe really didn't know much about the Yang family. He only knew that the Lin family rose to prominence in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty and that the Yang family had a Golden Core Ancestor named Yang Zhengshan. Other than that, he knew almost nothing.

"My Yang family may be called a clan, but it's more like a sect. Right now, my Yang family has two Golden Core cultivators, one Demon King, more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, several second-tier demon beasts, and one Ghost General!"

"My Yang family has a population of over three million, including over a thousand Golden Body Realm martial artists and two Divine Soul Realm martial artists!"

At this point, Yang Zhengshan paused slightly, stroking his beard. "Never mind, I'll change my family into a sect after some time!"

"Qingyu, what do you think would be a good name for our sect?"

It is inappropriate to recruit strong individuals in the name of the family. However, if it is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the Yang family is at least a celestial clan, which is somewhat attractive to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, if it were a Golden Core cultivator, using the Yang family's name would be somewhat humiliating.

Yang Qingyu was taken aback. "Sect? Ancestor, don't we have the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect?"

Yang Zhengshan waved his hand, "Tianyun Sword Sect is Tianyun Sword Sect, and we are us!"

The Yang family is considered part of the Tianyun Sword Sect, but the Shengjing Immortal Palace is not part of the Tianyun Sword Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, why don't we establish another sect?" Yang Zhengshan said to Lin Qihe.

Lin Qihe is still in a daze.

What do you mean?
The Yang family has two Golden Core cultivators and a Demon King?
The Yang family even has demonic beasts and ghost generals!
What the hell is this?

In his mind, the Yang family was just a clan, but wasn't such a clan too strange?

If that's the case, then this isn't a family, but rather a sect.

"Build another sect?" Lin Qihe's eyes turned incredibly strange. "You want to leave the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect?"

"How could that be? The Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect is the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, and we are us. There is no conflict between us," Yang Zhengshan said.

"Isn't it contradictory?" Lin Qihe was a little confused by Yang Zhengshan's thought process.

"A conflict?" Yang Zhengshan asked with a smile.

It seems like there's a conflict, but it doesn't seem like there's a major conflict.

Large circles contain small circles, and small circles contain large circles.

He initially proposed establishing the Tianyun Sword Sect to give the Spirit Origin Land a disguise and provide it with protection, but that doesn't mean he was willing to spend time and effort to develop and expand the Tianyun Sword Sect.

His foundation is the Immortal Palace of Life, and what he wants to develop and expand is the Immortal Palace of Life, not the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect.

Therefore, he has not paid much attention to the affairs of the Tianyun Sword Sect over the years and rarely interferes in its matters.

To put it simply, in his heart, the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect did not belong to him, nor to the Yang family. The Immortal Palace of Life was his, and the place where the Yang family lived and thrived.

In the Immortal Palace of Living Beings, establishing a new sect with the Yang family as the main body would better suit his wishes.

In fact, the Immortal Palace of the Living Realm is now a sect, but it always refers to itself as the Yang family.

In the future, we should still refer to ourselves as the Yang family when speaking to outsiders, but it would be better to have a sect name when speaking internally or in special circumstances.

Such as now.

Lin Qihe fell silent, finding Yang Zhengshan's words somewhat difficult to understand.

After a long silence, he finally said, "I don't know anything about the Yang family!"

"That's easy, I'll take you to learn about the Yang family!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

The treatment of Lin Qihe is different from that of the Green Ox Demon King.

He placed restrictions on the Green Ox Demon King because the Green Ox Demon King was a demon. When they first met, he tricked the Green Ox Demon King into going to the Spirit Source Land.

As for Lin Qihe, it's not easy to fool him, so it's better to just be direct.

Furthermore, Yang Zhengshan doesn't need to worry too much now. As long as it's not one of the top powers, Yang Zhengshan really doesn't fear anyone.

In fact, the Immortal Palace of Life no longer needs to be kept secret. There are many Golden Core forces with their own cave heavens, so Yang Zhengshan has no need to hide it.

Of course, the Celestial Palace of the Living Realm cannot be laid bare before the world; precautions must still be taken.

"Would Fellow Daoist Lin be willing to visit my Yang family?" Yang Zhengshan invited.

Lin Qihe thought for a moment and said, "Okay!"

He had no reason to refuse, because he also wanted to befriend Yang Zhengshan.

Unlike Yang Zhengshan, who has cultivated numerous connections over the years, from the Tianyun Sword Sect to the Wanhua Demon Court and then to Wanbao Trading Company, Yang Zhengshan has befriended quite a few Golden Core cultivators and demon kings.

And what about him?
Ever since he achieved the Golden Core stage, he has been hiding, all for the sake of taking revenge on the Impermanent Ghost Sect.

Therefore, he has not made any friends among Golden Core cultivators until now.

He came to repay a favor earlier, intending to have more interaction with Yang Zhengshan and build a good relationship.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Lin, don't resist!"

Yang Zhengshan reached out and grabbed Lin Qihe's arm, laughing.

Lin Qihe looked at his hand and nodded slightly.

Then the two figures disappeared.

"Uh, ancestor~~"

Yang Qingyu felt a little wronged; the old ancestor had actually forgotten about her and hadn't even taken her back.
