Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 603: Exchange of Elixir Recipe

Yang Mingzhao continued, "Then let's first determine the most basic goal, which is to distribute land to the people."

Chen Buyu, Chen Buren and others looked at each other. They suddenly felt that they were too unprofessional.

They wanted to rebel, but their only idea was to kill corrupt officials and distribute food to the people.

What Yang Mingzhao and others discussed were things they had never considered before.

Chen Buyu's eyes were shining, he felt that Yang Mingzhao was a professional traitor.

Well, very professional!
Yang Mingzhao didn't know what Chen Buyu was thinking, so he continued, "Then let's discuss which county to start with!"

"Not starting from Dachang County?" Chen Buyu asked.

Yang Mingzhao shook his head. "We can't start from Dachang County. Dachang County is located in the northeast corner of Bashu. It is the only way for Yungui to enter Bashu. Once we occupy Dachang County, it is equivalent to blocking the gate of Bashu. At that time, we will definitely be regarded as a thorn in the side of the court!"

"We are just starting out, so it's best to start somewhere that's not too important."

Deng Xing said, "Taiping County!"

"Why Taiping County?" Yang Mingzhao asked.

Deng Xing said: "Taiping County is located in the northwest corner of Kuizhou Prefecture, with the Wanshanling Mountains behind it. Although there are many mountains in the territory, there are also many valleys in the mountains that can be cultivated."

"Taiping County has many dangerous places that are easy to defend but difficult to attack, which will help us defend against the imperial court's attack!"

"Taiping County can go north to Longnan. Although the mountain road is difficult to travel, it can still be connected. If we occupy Taiping County, we can go to Bashu in the south and Longnan in the north."

"There is only one martial arts force in Taiping County, the Yan family, a very small martial arts family. The most powerful person is only a sixth-level martial artist, who can be easily suppressed."

"The most important thing is that there are salt wells in Taiping County! Although there are very few, not as many as in Rongde County, it can provide us with a way to make money!"

Yang Mingzhao's eyes lit up, "How do you know this?"

Deng Xing smiled and said, "It was me and my friends who asked Chen Buyu to find out."

Chen Buyu nodded vigorously. He had indeed inquired about these things, but he did not expect that Deng Xing would actually want to occupy Taiping County.

Yang Mingzhao laughed, "It seems that it is really unfair for me to ask you to be my guards. You should serve as officials in the court."

He was very satisfied with Deng Xing and Li Dagui. What they said was very insightful and more careful and organized than what he had considered.

Deng Xing chuckled, "We are just following the master of the family and learning from him. Compared to the master of the family, we are far inferior!"

"But you are much better than those corrupt officials!" Chen Buyu exclaimed sincerely.

Yang Mingzhao said: "Very good, then we will attack Taiping County first, but before that we still have to make some preparations, the training of the soldiers must continue, and we need more iron ingots, weapons and other supplies!"

"We need to stockpile some supplies before we start the uprising, to avoid being unable to purchase these supplies once we occupy Taiping County!"

"Lu Bo, go to Taiping County first to set up some warehouses, and then purchase various supplies from Kuizhou Prefecture."

"It would be best if we can buy weapons. If we can't, then we can buy some iron ingots and make our own weapons in the future!"

Lu Bo replied: "Yes!"

"That's it, let's prepare for a month and capture Taiping County in a month!" Yang Mingzhao said with high spirits.

The meeting was over and everyone got busy.

The young and strong men were reorganized and then continued to train. Although most of these young and strong men were farmers, after more than two months of training, they were able to understand military orders and possess certain military qualities, but their combat effectiveness might be very poor.

Deng Xing and Han Lin were responsible for training the young and strong, while Ma Yan gathered all the people in the valley who could write and calculate. A total of twenty-one people who could write and calculate were found, including an old scholar in his fifties and an eleven-year-old child. The rest were of mixed quality.

The person with the highest academic qualifications in the valley is this old scholar who is in his fifties.

There was no other way, Ma Yan could only make do with them. He divided these people into six families according to Yang Mingzhao's request, and first registered the people in the valley, allocated land, and compiled the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Book. The main purpose was to train everyone's abilities so that when the county was captured, these people would not be completely clueless.

At the same time, Ma Yan selected more than 20 teenagers in their teens and taught them to read and write while also taking them to do things.

On the other side, Lu Bo and Li Dagui took six or seven young men to Kuizhou Prefecture and Taiping County respectively. Li Dagui bought various supplies in Kuizhou Prefecture and then transported them to Taiping County. Lu Bo rented a house in Taiping County and waited for Li Dagui to transport the supplies over.

Everyone takes their place and does their own thing, and everything goes on in an orderly manner.

Yang Mingzhao is also very active and participates in various affairs.

Just as they were preparing to attack Taiping County, Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi arrived at Xueling Palace.

The two of them landed from the Li Sheng Dynasty by boat, and then passed through the Li Sheng Dynasty and entered the snowy land.

The situation in the Li Sheng Dynasty did not seem to be very good either. The nobles were arrogant and extravagant, living a life of luxury, while ordinary people were poorly clothed and hungry, and refugees and beggars could be seen everywhere.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi naturally wouldn't care about the affairs of the Li Sheng Dynasty. They both kept going into the mountains and forests, searching for plants to transplant into the Lingquan space.

After wandering around the Li Sheng Dynasty for more than a month, they entered the snowfield. When they entered the snowfield, it was exactly mid-August. The temperature in the snowfield at this time was not too low, it should be between zero and ten degrees.

There are relatively fewer plant species in the snowfield, but there are many animals in the snowfield, and many of them are not found in Dayong.

So Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi spent more than a month capturing wild animals in the snowy land.

Thousands of animals of all sizes were captured, and hundreds of plants were transplanted.

It was not until it started snowing in the snowfield that they rode the captured reindeer towards the Snow Spirit Palace.

There are many primitive tribes in the snowfields. They cannot be called primitive tribes, as they have their own languages ​​and writing systems. Some rely on fishing and hunting for a living, some rely on grazing, some can farm, and many tribes even have the ability to forge iron tools.

They just live a more primitive life, not barbarians who know nothing.

Among these tribes, the Holy Spirit Church has a lofty status.

They all believe in cold wind, ice and snow, and dark light, but they are not considered followers of the Holy Spirit Church, or they are not recognized by the three major holy palaces.

The believers recognized by the three major holy palaces are all gathered in the tribes around the holy palace headquarters. For example, the Xueling Palace has thirty-six valleys, seventy-two tribes, and nearly one million believers, all of which are around the Xueling Holy Mountain.

In fact, the territory of the Snow Spirit Palace is not as barren as imagined. Although the environment of the snowfield is too cold, the valleys around the Snow Spirit Holy Mountain can also be cultivated.

Moreover, the believers of the Snow Spirit Holy Palace lived a stable life. There were no heavy taxes or inexplicable corvee labor. Their lives were simple and abundant.

When Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi arrived at the Holy Snow Spirit Mountain, the sky and the earth were already covered in white.

The Xueling Holy Palace was built on the top of the Xueling Holy Mountain. This holy mountain is actually not very high, and the so-called holy palace is not very gorgeous. The architectural style is rather rough, but in this white world, it looks particularly majestic and heroic.

"Why are you here?"

Xue Qiaoer was very surprised by the arrival of Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi.

"Haha~ I came out for a walk when I had nothing to do. I happened to pass by you, so I came to visit you!" Yang Zhengshan laughed.

Soon, Xue Qiaoer met Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi and entered the Xueling Holy Palace.

"I brought you some gifts!" said Yang Zhengshan.

Then he took off the package on the reindeer behind him. The two of them caught more than 20 reindeer in total and kept them all in the Lingquan space. Before arriving at the Holy Mountain of Snow Spirit, they released six reindeer, each riding one, and the remaining four carried some things.

The reindeer in the snowfields are very large, some are even taller than horses, so there is no problem riding them.

"Thank you!" Xue Qiaoer smiled brightly, her smile was particularly beautiful.

Afterwards, Xue Qiaoer warmly entertained Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi, and introduced them to the senior executives of Xueling Palace.

Over the years, the relationship between the Yang family and the Xueling Palace has always been very close, and the contacts are very frequent.

The main reason is that the trade between Xueling Palace and Fuzhou City has been continuing. Now the Lieutenant General of Fuzhou City is Yang Qinhu. Although he is not a member of the Yang family, he is a descendant of the Yang family.

There are three innate warriors in Xueling Palace, and their strength is still very powerful.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi stayed in Xueling Palace for three days, and then Yang Zhengshan went to find Grandma Xue.

"Grandma Xue, I want the recipe for the Spirit Pill!"

In the simple house, Grandma Xue sat by the fire and was not angry at Yang Zhengshan's request.

"I knew you would want the recipe for the Soul-Eating Pill! But the recipe for the Soul-Eating Pill is the most important thing to our Holy Spirit Church, we will never give it to others easily!"

Yang Zhengshan asked, "Apart from the Holy Spirit Church, is there no other force in this world that possesses the recipe for the Soul-Attaching Pill?"

Granny Xue looked at him, with a faint smile on her old face, "What do you think the Soul-Attaching Pill is?"

"A kind of elixir that can give warriors abilities similar to Taoism." Yang Zhengshan said.

Granny Xue showed a surprised look, "Have you heard of the Soul-Attaching Pill somewhere else?"

"No, I guessed!"

"That means you have already understood the meaning of Tao!" said Grandma Xue.

Yang Zhengshan was silent for a while, then nodded, "Yes, I have indeed entered the Dao, but I have only grasped a little bit of the Dao at present!"

"Can you show it to me?" said Granny Xue.

Yang Zhengshan naturally would not refuse. He stretched out his hand and waved it lightly. Suddenly, a bright lightning appeared in his palm, illuminating the room. At the same time, a dull thunder sound echoed in the room.

Thunder!

This is an ability that Yang Zhengshan has only recently mastered. It is not a thunderous shot at all, but the will of heaven and earth.

Just as Xuan Zhen can control the wind, Yang Zhengshan can now also control thunder.

However, he has only mastered a little bit of thunder power now, which has little attack power. It is like a flare that can blind the enemy's eyes.

Grandma Xue stared at Yang Zhengshan's palm, and flickering lightning flashed in her turbid eyes.

The lightning died down, and Yang Zhengshan looked at Grandma Xue again.

It took Granny Xue a long time to come back to her senses. "I can give you the recipe for the Soul-Fu Pill, but you have to exchange it for something of equal value!"

"Spiritual fruit is okay?"

“Haha, a few spiritual fruits won’t do!”

Yang Zhengshan waved his hand, and suddenly twenty wooden boxes and twenty porcelain bottles appeared in front of Grandma Xue.

"Here are ten Sanhuang plums, ten Yulu Lingtao peaches, and twenty Zhenyuan pills. Is that enough?"

Grandma Xue was shocked and looked at Yang Zhengshan with a dull look.

"how did you do it?"

"It's a secret!" Yang Zhengshan's mouth curled up slightly.

There is no need to conceal the storage capacity of the Lingquan space. His strength is already strong enough, so there should be no problem even if he reveals some special abilities.

What's more, there are many magical powers in this world. Ever since he comprehended the Dao of heaven and earth, he knew that the future of martial arts was far more magical than he had imagined.

However, he did not reveal his ability to grow spiritual fruits and tried his best to conceal this ability from outside.

Because compared to the storage ability, the ability to grow spiritual fruits is undoubtedly more difficult to accept.

Spiritual fruits are something that are hard to come by for many people and forces. Even some powerful forces only guard one or two spiritual fruit trees.

And he now owns hundreds of spiritual plants, including Sanhuang Plum, Bingxin Fruit, Xingyuan Fruit, Yulu Lingtao, and Qingling Fruit. These five kinds of spiritual fruits are almost like ordinary fruits in his hands.

If the spiritual fruit trees on Yang Zhengshan Mountain have already turned into a forest, in a few years, they will probably cover the entire mountain.

Grandma Xue looked at the spiritual fruits and elixirs in front of her, and then looked at Yang Zhengshan who was smiling.

Then she let out a long breath.

"enough!"

"That's enough!"

Yang Zhengshan gave too much!

She really couldn't refuse.

"We can also exchange spiritual fruits. Except for the Bingxin Fruit, no matter what kind of spiritual fruit it is, I will exchange it with two Sanhuang Plums, two Yulu Lingtaos, or two Zhenyuan Pills!" Yang Zhengshan once again made an attractive proposal.

Granny Xue looked at him deeply and said, "I need to discuss this matter with everyone first!"

"No problem!" Yang Zhengshan was not in a hurry.

The Xueling Palace quickly came to a conclusion, but there was actually nothing to discuss.

Although the recipe for the elixir is precious, it is just a recipe. Not to mention that it is a secret of the Ling'en Holy Church, any secret can be traded as long as it can bring enough benefits.

In the end, Yang Zhengshan got the recipe for the Lingdan as he wished, and also obtained four kinds of spiritual fruits.

Dark Light Fruit, Wind Spirit Fruit, Cloudberry Fruit and Winter Pine Cone.

When Yang Zhengshan saw the cloud berries and cold pine cones, he was completely stunned.

The tiny cloudberries and pine cones were only the size of a fingernail. Grandma Xue took out two plates, each containing hundreds of them.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the cloud berries and cold pine cones, then at Grandma Xue.

He felt like he was being cheated!

He used two spiritual fruits to exchange for one spiritual fruit. Wouldn't it mean that he would have to exchange these cloudberry fruits and cold pine fruits for four or five hundred spiritual fruits?
