Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 488 Even if I were to accept a disciple, I would not accept an old man like you!
Just as Yang Zhengshan was immersed in the surprise brought by the three yellow plum trees, a chubby man ran over and said with a smile on his face, "Is it the Marquis of Jing'an who is here in person?"

Yang Zhengshan came back to his senses and looked at the man, "I am the Marquis of Jing'an, who are you?"

"I dare not, I dare not. I am Lin Kuanguang, the manager of Sanshan Valley. Nice to meet Marquis Jing'an!" Lin Kuanguang smiled like Maitreya Buddha.

Yang Zhengshan looked him up and down, "Manager Lin, I am sorry to bother you!"

Manager Lin may look ordinary, but from his aura and posture, it can be seen that he is not an ordinary person.

He is not a congenital warrior, but he has at least the eighth level of acquired martial arts cultivation.

"Haha, please come in, Marquis Jing'an!"

Lin Kuanguang met Yang Zhengshan and entered the valley.

Yang Zhengshan walked and looked at the surrounding scenery. Ding Qiu followed him obediently, not daring to overstep the line.

This is the Three Valleys, where seven innate warriors live, and some of them are old antiques who have lived for more than a hundred years.

Now Yang Zhengshan has some understanding of the seven innate warriors in the Three Valleys.

The seven innate warriors are Zhangye, Meng Po Po, An Yuxing, Yue Gu, Jian Chengfeng, Lin Shanshui and Chen Mingxi.

Among them, Zhangye is the oldest in terms of age, and is said to be over 130 years old. Meng Po is second, and An Yuxing can only be ranked third, but An Yuxing is also 100 years old.

Yang Zhengshan didn't know much about Zhangye and Meng Po Po, because these two were real antiques and it was difficult to find out any information about them.

An Yuxing, Yang Zhengshan was naturally the one he was most familiar with.

Yue Gu is also over ninety years old. He was originally a martial artist. After he broke through to the innate realm, he has been living in the Three Valleys for forty years now.

Jian Chengfeng once served as the Prince's Tutor and the Left General of the Front Army. He was familiar with Zhou Mao, and Yang Zhengshan learned a lot of information about him from Zhou Mao.

Jian Chengfeng also has another identity, that is, he was the master of General Jiang Zhen, the Great Northern Expeditioner more than 30 years ago. Because of Jiang Zhen's affairs, Jian Chengfeng was very dissatisfied with Emperor Chengping and even made a big fuss in Emperor Chengping's imperial study.

As for Xun Shanshui, he is also a legendary figure. He is not just a warrior. He once served as the Minister of Honglu Temple. Yes, he was a civil servant, but now he has become a congenital warrior.

Lu Zhongdao, the head of the Lu family in Anning County, used to be his subordinate. Later, he broke through to the innate realm and lived in seclusion in Sanshan Valley. Only then was Lu Zhongdao promoted to the position of Minister of the Honglu Temple.

Now Lu Zhongdao has returned to his hometown to retire, but he is still in Sanshan Valley.

The last one is Chen Mingxi, who is the youngest innate warrior in the Three Valleys and is now sixty-five years old.

Speaking of this person, there is even more to say.

Chen Mingxi, Princess Mingxi, yes, she is a member of the royal family, and she is also the younger sister of Emperor Chengping, and the aunt of Emperor Yanping.

Princess Mingxi entered the Sanshan Valley about forty years ago, that is, just after Emperor Chengping ascended the throne. She was not a congenital warrior at that time, but because her husband and son died of illness one after another, she was disheartened and wanted to become a nun. Emperor Chengping felt sorry for his sister and did not want her to become a nun, so he let her live in the Sanshan Valley to recuperate.

However, Emperor Chengping did not expect that after Princess Mingxi came to the Three Valleys, she studied hard all day long and made rapid progress in her cultivation. It only took her more than ten years to condense the innate true qi and enter the half-step innate realm.

Of course, Chen Mingxi’s achievements are inseparable from the assistance of Sanhuangli and the guidance of Granny Meng. Chen Mingxi can also be regarded as Granny Meng’s disciple.

In this way, Chen Mingxi has been living in the Three Valleys and has become the youngest innate warrior in the Three Valleys.

Yang Zhengshan heard these things from others, but he himself had never seen Princess Mingxi.

But it is still quite legendary for a princess to become a congenital warrior.

Unfortunately, in this world today, few people still remember Princess Mingxi.

In addition to the seven innate warriors, there are also many of their disciples and servants responsible for managing the valleys in the Three Valleys, totaling about four to five hundred people.

Like Lin Kuanguang, he is actually a disciple of Jian Chengfeng. He just had nothing to do, so he became a manager in the valley. He is usually responsible for receiving foreign innate warriors.

Under the guidance of Lin Kuanguang, Yang Zhengshan came to the gate of An Yuxing's yard.

The courtyard is not big, it is just a three-story courtyard.

However, there is a medicinal field behind the courtyard, where many medicinal herbs are planted.

In fact, there are many medicinal fields in the Three Valleys. Just now, Yang Zhengshan saw a large medicinal field with no less than a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs planted in it.

Lin Kuanguang knocked on the courtyard door, and the door opened, revealing a white-haired old man. It was not An Yuxing.

"Old Han, is Senior An at home? Marquis Jing'an is here to visit!" Lin Kuanguang said with a smile.

Old Han looked at Yang Zhengshan outside the door and quickly opened it. "It turns out that it was Marquis Jing'an who came to visit. The master has been talking about Marquis Jing'an these days, saying that the wine Marquis Jing'an gave is a rare and fine wine!"

"Haha, then please let my father-in-law pass on the message!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

"Please come in, Marquis Jing'an!" Old Han led Yang Zhengshan in first, and Lin Kuanguang said goodbye and left.

The tables and chairs in the hall are very old and simple, but they do not look shabby.

Yang Zhengfu waited in the hall for a while, and then An Yuxing came in with a wine jug, reeking of alcohol.

This old man always carries a wine jug with him. Wherever he goes, the smell of alcohol follows him. He is definitely a drunkard.

"Why are you here?" An Yuxing was a little surprised by Yang Zhengshan's arrival.

After all, Yang Zhengshan is different from him. He does nothing all day long, while Yang Zhengshan is still serving in the court.

"I would like to ask you some questions about cultivation!"

“This is tuition!”

Yang Zhengshan took two jars of Baicao Wine from Ding Qiu and placed them on the table.

An Yuxing looked at the wine and a smile immediately appeared on his face. "Okay, okay, as long as there's wine! As long as there's wine, you can come anytime!"

Although I gave him ten jars of Baicao Wine before, as a drunkard, how could he complain about having too much wine?

Especially since Baicao Niang was the best wine he had ever tasted, he wished Yang Zhengshan would give him more.

"Haha, I'm sorry to bother you, senior!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

There is a saying that goes "A master can only lead you to the door, but it's up to you to practice."

Even though Yang Zhengshan has read a lot of cultivation experience in the Canggong Pavilion during this period, if he wants to make further progress, he still needs a master to guide him.

Compared with An Yuxing, Yang Zhengshan is just an apprentice in the innate realm. Many of An Yuxing's experiences are of great benefit to Yang Zhengshan and can help Yang Zhengshan avoid many detours.

"Prepare some side dishes so that I can have a good chat with Marquis Jing'an!" An Yuxing gave the order and brought Yang Zhengshan to the pavilion in the backyard.

There are no female relatives in his courtyard, so there is not much to be cautious about.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he has no family. He also has children and grandchildren. It's just that his children and grandchildren are not very capable and have barely managed to get an official position of some minor importance. The only great-grandson who is relatively talented stays with him and he is only eighteen years old this year.

The side dishes came, well, they were really side dishes.

An Yuxing just likes wine and has little interest in food, so the dishes he usually eats with wine are relatively simple.

Yang Zhengshan naturally would not despise it. He accompanied An Yuxing for a drink and asked An Yuxing for advice.

An Yuxing was also generous in giving advice and passing on a lot of his own experiences to Yang Zhengshan. Listening to his explanations, Yang Zhengshan often had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Yang Zhengshan put down his wine glass, stretched out his hand, and the internal Qi surged gently. A thin strand of Qi emerged from his palm and grew like a sprouting seed.

"So Qi can be used like this?"

The slender true energy was wrapped around Yang Zhengshan's palm like a silk thread, and it also showed rich vitality like a young bud.

An Yuxing looked at his true Qi and nodded with satisfaction, "The so-called control of Qi lies in change, and the so-called subtlety lies in following one's heart."

"Look!" As he said this, he also stretched out his palm, and a ball of mist emerged from his somewhat dry palm.

The water ball sometimes turns into a wine glass and sometimes into a wine jug. Although the colors are different, the patterns carved on them are exactly the same.

Then he waved his hand gently, and the condensed water ball flew out and landed on the rocks outside the pavilion, and actually penetrated the rocks three feet behind.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the scene in shock.

He could also penetrate rocks, but he needed the help of the black iron spear. He couldn't do it relying only on his innate true qi.

This move looks simple, but in fact it contains subtle control over the innate true energy.

The holes on the rocks are only the size of a pinhole, and they are arranged in a pattern.

flagon?

There are probably thousands of holes!

Thousands of strands of true energy were shot out in an instant, and they were controlled to the point where they were as fine as a hair.

Without waiting for Yang Zhengshan's shock to end, An Yuxing stretched out his hand again, "Look again!"

Before that, he gently turned his fingers, and a fist-sized stone three meters away actually fell lightly into his hands.

"this!"

Yang Zhengshan was stunned.

He had read so many cultivation experiences, but none of them was as good as seeing it with his own eyes.

Teleportation?

This is no longer within the realm of martial arts, right?

This should be a spell, right?
"Controlling the Qi like a silk thread, if you can achieve this, you have touched the threshold of subtlety!"

"But you haven't reached the level of controlling Qi yet, so you still need to practice!"

"If you want to reach the state of controlling Qi, there is no shortcut. The only way is to continuously accumulate innate Qi and practice hard."

An Yuxing said.

Yang Zhengshan's eyes lit up, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

An Yuxing waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "This is nothing. Even if you practice on your own, you will soon understand this truth!"

Although he said so, Yang Zhengshan couldn't think so.

Yes, one can understand this principle through self-cultivation, but this will take up a lot of Yang Zhengshan’s time and energy.

With just a little advice from An Yuxing, Yang Zhengshan could save several months or even years of time.

"Why don't I become your disciple?" Yang Zhengshan looked at An Yuxing expectantly.

He really wants to become a disciple!
Woohoo, with such a master to guide him, his future cultivation will definitely go more smoothly.

An Yuxing was stunned for a moment, then he said with a smile: "You have already entered the Xiantian realm, why do you need to become a disciple?"

“But the younger generation is far inferior to the older generation. As the saying goes, the wisest are the wisest.” Yang Zhengshan said.

Although An Yuxing was a little surprised, he was still very happy.

But he had no intention of accepting Yang Zhengshan as his apprentice. "If you want to learn from me, I won't refuse. As for becoming your disciple, forget it. Even if I accept you as my apprentice, I won't accept an old man like you!"

"..."

Bad old man?
Damn, this old guy actually called me an old man.

Yang Zhengshan almost vomited blood.

If Yang Zhengshan didn't know that he couldn't beat this old man, he really wanted to give him two punches to let him know who the real old man is.

Yang Zhengshan's face flushed red, and he glared at An Yuxing with puffed beard. An Yuxing laughed, "The technique you practice is very different from mine. I can only guide you on these minor details. As for the rest, I can't help you!"

Yang Zhengshan's way of cultivation is fixed, which is different from him. Even if he accepts Yang Zhengshan as his disciple, it will not be a continuation of their lineage and does not have much significance.

But at this time, An Yuxing really wanted to accept a disciple.

He has never accepted a disciple in his life, but now he is over a hundred years old. Even though the lifespan of a congenital warrior is much longer than that of ordinary people, he is now considered an old man.

"If you were twenty years younger and your cultivation had not yet condensed the innate true qi, I could accept you as my disciple!" An Yuxing said again.

Yang Zhengshan's expression changed slightly, "Senior, how about I recommend a disciple to you?"

"Oh? You have a good idea?" An Yuxing became interested.

"Of course, I have several grandchildren, and they are all very talented!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

If you think I’m old, then my grandchildren won’t be old either!
"Really?"

"It is absolutely true. Zhang Sun Chengye became a warrior at the age of fifteen. Now he is only eighteen years old, but he has already started to practice his strength. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be able to enter the post-natal realm before he is twenty!"

"The second grandson, Chengmao, also became a warrior at the age of fifteen. He is sixteen this year. He is currently stretching his tendons and bones. His tendons are strong and his bones are firm. He also has a bit of a martial arts obsession!"

"As for the other grandchildren, although they are a little younger, their qualifications are not bad!"

Yang Zhengshan said with pride.

All of his grandchildren were raised with spiritual spring water, and each of them has outstanding qualifications. I dare not say that they will all become martial arts masters in the future, but their starting points are definitely much higher than those of ordinary people.

"How many grandchildren do you have?" An Xingyu asked curiously.

Yang Zhengshan thought for a moment, "Currently, I have six grandsons, five granddaughters, and several grandchildren!"

There were so many children that he couldn't even count them all at once.

And this is not the final number. Two days ago, Yang Minghao said in a letter home that Liang was pregnant again.

An Yuxing was somewhat envious of Yang Zhengshan. When he looked at Yang Zhengshan's descendants and then at his own useless descendants, he couldn't help but want to hit them.

"I can accept your grandson as my apprentice, but I have a condition!"

"What are the conditions? Please tell me, senior!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"You accept my great-grandson as your disciple!" An Yuxing said with a smile.

He felt that he was not capable of teaching his apprentice. This was a good kid who had been with him for two years but had not made much progress.

His great-grandson is named An Chenhui, who is also eighteen years old this year, the same age as Yang Chengye. An Chenhui also became a warrior at the age of fifteen, but he is only now starting to stretch his muscles and bones, which makes him one level behind Yang Chengye.

Yang Zhengshan agreed without even thinking about it, "It's a deal!"

"A word is settled!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

No matter which grandson of the Yang family is chosen by An Yuxing, it is a great blessing. He has a grandfather in the Innate Realm, a master in the Innate Realm, spiritual spring water and various resources to assist him. If he still cannot become an Innate Warrior in the future, it is really unimaginable.

As for An Yuxing's great-grandson, Yang Zhengshan will naturally teach him wholeheartedly. As long as his great-grandson is not a blockhead, Yang Zhengshan has the confidence that he can teach him to become a useful person.

Besides, he had just accepted two apprentices, so it wouldn't matter if he accepted another one now.
