Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 1085 Central Territory, Hengshan Sect
Zhongli Xiayi watched his departing figure and sighed softly.

"What, you can't bear to part with it?" Zhong Liyue appeared behind her without her noticing.

“No!” Zhong Lixia shook her head.

"Then why are you sighing?"

"I'm just worried!"

"Worried?" Zhongli Yue looked thoughtful. "Indeed, it's worrying. The future is uncertain, and I'm concerned!"

"Get ready, it's time for you to go back!"

Zhong Lixia turned around and looked at her older brother. "Brother, I'm scared!"

Zhong Liyue patted her on the back, "This is your path, and ultimately you have to walk it yourself!"

afraid!
Would a Golden Core cultivator still be afraid?

of course!
However, Zhong Liyue understood very well that some things could not be done by others.

The Zhongli family has its own roads, and these roads are right beneath Zhongli Xiayi's feet.

Although he was very worried about his younger sister, Zhongli Xiayi, he had to act somewhat ruthless.

This road concerns Zhong Lixia herself, and also the future of the Zhong Li family.

It was beyond his control, and it was also beyond Zhongli Xiayi's control.

Zhong Lixia remained silent. She turned back to look in the direction where Yang Zhengshan had disappeared, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

She didn't know when, but she developed a strange feeling for Yang Zhengshan.

This relationship came suddenly, at an inopportune time, catching her off guard and making it impossible for her to face it calmly.

She didn't want anything to do with Yang Zhengshan; she just found it hard to part with him.

"I will ultimately walk my own path! I only hope that I may meet you again along the way!"

She thought secretly in her heart.

……

Although Wanhua Central Region is called the Central Region, its location is biased towards the eastern part of Wanhua Region due to the Wanhua Mountains separating it.

Of the five regions, the Eastern Region of Wanhua is the smallest. In terms of land area alone, the Eastern Region is only one-third the size of the Western Region. However, the Eastern Region also has a large number of islands and the forbidden area of ​​the Reincarnation Realm in the East Sea.

To travel from the Western Regions of Wanhua to the Central Regions, one needs to cross the Wanhua Mountains. To travel from the Yang Family Blessed Land to the Hengshan Sect, one must cross most of the Western Regions of Wanhua and then cross the Wanhua Mountains again.

The Hengshan Sect is located in the southeast of the Central Region, so it has to cross more than half of the Central Region, with a total journey of more than 100,000 li.

Sun Wukong could travel 108,000 li in a single somersault. Yang Zhengshan did not have Sun Wukong's abilities, so he could only travel through the void. Even a distance of 108,000 li was a long distance for him. It took him three days and three nights to travel through the void before he arrived at the southeastern part of Wanhua Central Region.

Emerging from the void, he was still in a mountain forest.

However, the mountains here are not as precipitous as the Wanhua Mountains. The mountain ranges are continuous and undulating, with each peak having a similar height, all below the clouds, and the slopes are relatively gentle.

This is Hengshan, a mountain range that spans the central region.

The Hengshan Mountains connect to the Wanhua Mountains in the west, traverse the entire Central Region, and extend to the cliffs of the East Sea in the east. It is the second largest mountain range in the Wanhua Region.

However, the spiritual veins hidden in the Hengshan Mountains are even higher than those in the Wanhua Mountains. Among these mountains, there are more than a dozen top-tier third-order spiritual veins, hundreds of first-order and second-order spiritual veins, and countless other mineral veins.

This is why there are so many top-tier forces in the Central Region.

Yang Zhengshan had seen many third-order arrays that isolated the Taixu from the Taixu along the way. Almost all places with relatively high energy were covered by arrays, which meant that those spiritual veins were all owned by someone.

Standing atop the mountain, Yang Zhengshan took a deep breath, sensing the concentration of spiritual energy in the area.

"That's all there is to it, it's not even as good as the Spirit Source Land!"

He said this with a sense of pride.

Although this place is not a sacred place, not every place in the land of spiritual energy is a sacred place, and many places do not have spiritual veins.

In terms of average concentration of spiritual energy, Hengshan Mountain Range is still inferior to Lingyuan Land, but in terms of total amount of spiritual energy, Hengshan Mountain Range should far exceed Lingyuan Land.

"But where is this place?"

Yang Zhengshan took out a jade slip and examined the map inside. He couldn't determine his location just by looking at the map, because the surrounding mountains all looked almost identical, making it impossible to pinpoint his exact location.

However, Yang Zhengshan was no ordinary person. He was a Golden Core cultivator who could sense celestial phenomena and qi. He quickly determined his location, which was about 800 li away from Hengshan Sect.

Yang Zhengshan did not linger and headed straight for Hengshan Sect. Soon he arrived at the sect's gate.

Hengshan Sect is vast, covering the surrounding mountains and forests for hundreds of miles. There are countless pavilions and towers in the mountains, and countless spiritual herbs and trees. Furthermore, it is shrouded in a cloud and mist array. Under the bright sun, the flying eaves and golden tiles are revealed in the ethereal clouds and mist, making the entire Hengshan Sect look like a fairyland.

Of course, this is just the Hengshan Sect's outlying sect headquarters. The Hengshan Sect definitely has its own grotto-heavens, and possibly more than one.

Yang Zhengshan certainly couldn't enter their grotto; he could only request an audience at the mountain gate.

He had just landed in front of the mountain gate when he was spotted by the disciples guarding the gate.

"Who goes there?" a cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage asked loudly.

Yang Zhengshan waved his hand and tossed over the token that Zhongli Xiayi had given him, saying, "This Venerable One requests an audience with True Lord Yunxiu. Please inform him of this."

Upon hearing this, the Foundation Establishment cultivator quickly accepted the token and bowed, saying, "Greetings, True Lord!"

Although Hengshan Sect is a top-tier power, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding the mountain gate wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to a Golden Core True Monarch.

"Please wait a moment in the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion, True Lord, I will go and inform them!" the Foundation Establishment cultivator said again.

"Yes! This is troublesome!" Yang Zhengshan said kindly.

You can't be unfriendly!

They are a top-tier power, while he is just an unknown figure in the Central Region. Although he came with the Zhongli family's token, he dared not be arrogant in front of the Hengshan Sect.

One should be able to bend and stretch, and besides, the other party treated him with courtesy, so Yang Zhengshan naturally wouldn't be unreasonable.

One Foundation Establishment cultivator went to report, while another cultivator brought Yang Zhengshan to the Yingxian Pavilion.

The so-called Yingxian Pavilion is a pavilion specifically used to entertain guests.

The cultivators from Hengshan Sect arranged an elegant private room for Yang Zhengshan, served him tea, snacks, and spiritual fruits, and then withdrew.

Yang Zhengshan didn't care and casually glanced at Hengshan Sect from the side room.

The Yingxian Pavilion is located on one side of the mountain gate, but it is actually outside the great formation. Standing here, it is impossible to see the overall appearance of Hengshan Sect. You can only see the eaves of the palaces and pavilions through the clouds and mist.

After waiting for about half an hour, a graceful woman arrived at the room. However, this person was not True Monarch Yunxiu, as her cultivation level was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. "Junior Lanxi greets True Monarch. My master is currently in seclusion and is unable to come to greet you, Senior. Please forgive me!" Lanxi said softly.

Yang Zhengshan suddenly realized and laughed, "It's alright, actually I didn't come here to see True Lord Yunxiu!"

Lanxi was taken aback. "Then who is this senior?"

Yang Zhengshan explained, "I am Yang Zhengshan of the Tianyun Sword Sect. My Tianyun Sword Sect has some business dealings with your sect in terms of pills. I have come here today to deliver the pills!"

"The reason I requested an audience with True Lord Yunxiu is because I have a friend from the Zhongli family who is acquainted with True Lord Yunxiu. Since I am new to this place and unfamiliar with the people and people, I would like to ask True Lord Yunxiu to introduce me to True Lord Qihe."

Qihe Zhenjun is the one who is on good terms with Baiyun Zhenjun. He is also an alchemist and a Golden Core cultivator in Hengshan Sect who is in charge of pill-related matters.

The order was received from him by True Lord Baiyun.

Yang Zhengshan needed to deliver the elixir, so he naturally had to find True Monarch Qihe. However, he did not know True Monarch Qihe, so he thought of using the Zhongli family's identity to first build a relationship with True Monarch Yunxiu. Unexpectedly, True Monarch Yunxiu was in seclusion.

However, he gained a new understanding of the Hengshan Sect at this time. It should be noted that the Hengshan Sect and the South Sea Demon Court were still at war, and the two sides were fighting fiercely in the Southern Region.

However, True Monarch Yunxiu was still in seclusion at this time, and there was no tense atmosphere in Hengshan Sect. On the contrary, it seemed very peaceful.

This shows that the Yokoyama Sect did not have a particularly difficult time in the war against the South Sea Demon Court.

"I see!" Lanxi said with a gentle smile, her eyes crinkling. "This junior will immediately send someone to invite True Lord Qihe!"

"Thank you for your trouble, young friend!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"I wouldn't dare, you can just call me Lanxi, senior!" Lanxi said.

In terms of age, Lanxi is not much younger than Yang Zhengshan. Yang Zhengshan is only two hundred and twenty years old now, while Lanxi may be close to two hundred years old.

Not all disciples of top powers are geniuses. Talent is just the starting point. How much one can achieve depends not only on oneself but also on external conditions.

Top-tier forces can provide their disciples with far more resources than ordinary forces, and the geniuses of top-tier forces may far surpass the geniuses of ordinary forces, but this is not absolute.

Although Baiyujing is not a top-tier power now, the resources it possesses are not necessarily inferior to those of top-tier powers.

Hengshan Sect should have all the other resources, but there is one resource that Hengshan Sect absolutely does not have.

That is the most common spiritual spring water in the land of spiritual origin.

Spiritual spring water is common, whether in the outside world or in the land of spiritual origins, but the spiritual spring water in the land of spiritual origins is different.

Don't forget that the spiritual spring water in the Land of Spiritual Origin also has the effect of enhancing potential.

This effect seems insignificant, and even the people of the Spirit Source Land overlook it, but in fact, the most incredible resource in the Spirit Source Land is these inconspicuous spiritual springs.

Enhancing potential is equivalent to enhancing talent. Although the extent of the enhancement is limited, it gives everyone in the Land of Spiritual Origin a higher minimum standard.

Why are there so many martial artists in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty, yet only a few dozen can become Golden Body Realm martial artists?
Why is it that in the Land of Spiritual Origin, everyone has the opportunity to become a Golden Body Realm martial artist?
It was because the spiritual spring water enhanced their potential, raising their minimum level to that of a Golden Body Realm martial artist.

Of course, the effects of the spiritual spring water also have their limits. For martial artists, the limit is the Golden Body Realm. For people from the Spiritual Source Land to reach a higher level, namely the Divine Soul Realm, it depends on their individual destiny.

In order for Yang Mingcheng and others to become Divine Soul Realm martial artists.
Is it because of their talent?
No, it's because Yang Zhengshan has a preference!

The rules of the Spirit Source Land are fair and just, but as the head of the Yang family and as a father, Yang Zhengshan should take better care of his son. Others can't just gossip about it.

Therefore, Yang Mingcheng and the others were able to become Divine Soul Realm martial artists for two reasons: first, the Spirit Source Land had spiritual spring water, which enhanced their talents; second, Yang Zhengshan provided them with enough resources to continuously improve their cultivation.

Similarly, Lanxi may have great talent, but her growth rate may not be as fast as Yang Jizhen, Ma Qiuyan and others.

Lanxi arranged for someone to invite Qihe Zhenjun, and then stood beside Yang Zhengshan, serving him tea and water.

"Please have a seat, young friend!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Senior!" Lanxi sat down opposite Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan asked, "Is the war between your sect and the South China Sea demons still ongoing?"

"No, the South Sea demons have always wanted to occupy the Southern Region, and many True Monarchs in the sect are very dissatisfied with them! So we are still fighting against the South Sea demons during this period!" Lanxi said.

"I see. Judging from your appearance, the battle over there doesn't seem to be very intense!" Yang Zhengshan was eager to inquire about the battle situation between Hengshan Sect and South Sea Demon Court.

Lanxi brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and smiled, "Actually, those who participated in the battle were all affiliated sects of the Southern Region. Only three True Monarchs from the sects went!"

Yang Zhengshan was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized.

That's right. Hengshan Sect is not like Wuchang Ghost Sect. Wuchang Ghost Sect is the kind of sect that everyone hates, while Hengshan Sect is an orthodox sect.

The Impermanent Ghost Sect has no affiliated forces; they only recruit evil and demonic practitioners.

The Hengshan Sect has many affiliated forces, including Golden Core cultivators.

The war in the Southern Region was naturally dominated by the forces of the Southern Region. The Hengshan Sect did not need to take action personally; it only needed to provide support from behind the scenes and offer some resources.

The two chatted idly, and Yang Zhengshan learned a lot about the Hengshan Sect from Lanxi.

As a top power in the Wanhua Domain, the strength of Hengshan Sect is self-evident.

It could even be said that Hengshan Sect is the most powerful force in Wanhua Domain besides Tianxian Dao.

Among the top powers, the Impermanent Ghost Sect acts furtively and is disliked; the Myriad Treasures Sect focuses on commerce and trade, but prefers immortal cultivation and other industries; and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion likes to do some mystical things, which is somewhat suspected of being unproductive.

Only Hengshan Sect focuses on cultivation and improving one's cultivation level, so Hengshan Sect has the most Golden Core cultivators and the strongest strength.

However, Hengshan Sect also has its weaknesses. Hengshan Sect is at a disadvantage in the various arts of immortal cultivation. Although Hengshan Sect has a large number of blessed lands and mineral veins, it is the largest customer of Wanbao Sect.

This is why the Hengshan Sect would entrust some of its pill orders to True Monarch Baiyun.

It's not that Hengshan Sect doesn't order goods from Wanbaohang, but rather that the goods provided by Wanbaohang cannot meet Hengshan Sect's needs. Therefore, Hengshan Sect can only order various consumables from other places.

Elixirs, talismans, magical artifacts, and so on are all goods that the Hengshan Sect needs.

Although the Yokoyama Sect did not send too many forces to participate in the war in the Southern Region, they provided various resources to the many affiliated forces in the Southern Region.

Simply put, the Hengshan Sect provides the funding, while various forces in the Southern Region contribute their resources.

For Bai Yujing, Hengshan Sect was undoubtedly a very good partner.

Hengshan Sect possesses abundant basic resources, including various minerals, spiritual herbs and fruits, and basic spiritual materials. It can be said that Hengshan Sect has everything. However, Hengshan Sect has obvious deficiencies in various aspects such as alchemy, weapon crafting, formations, and talismans.

Although Bai Yujing may not be as good as Hengshan Sect in many aspects, Bai Yujing can still provide Hengshan Sect with a lot of goods.

At this moment, in Yang Zhengshan's eyes, Hengshan Sect was a major client holding gold bricks. If possible, Yang Zhengshan would not mind deepening some business cooperation with Hengshan Sect.

If Bai Yujing can secure a few large orders from Hengshan Sect, it will be enough to make him a fortune.
