Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 620 Spiritual Fruits, Spiritual Pills, and Monsters

At this time, the Lingquan space has changed a lot.

The mountains in this space are covered with various trees. Although there are no tall towering trees, many of them have grown to a height of ten feet.

On the top of the mountain where Lingquan Lake is located, the flaming red lotus in the lake has connected into a large area, but the Holy Lotus of Taoism still occupies the area in the center of the lake.

After Yang Zhengshan picked the lotus seeds of the Daoyi Holy Lotus, the growth rate of the Daoyi Holy Lotus accelerated a lot. Each Daoyi Holy Lotus grew more than a dozen lotus leaves that spread on the water surface.

However, the Holy Lotus of Daoyi did not produce flower buds again, and it is unknown when it will bloom again. It may take another twenty years.

The spiritual spring water has disappeared beneath the water surface, and the surging spring water can no longer be seen on the lake surface.

There are a large number of spiritual plants planted on the north side of the lake. Yang Zhengshan deliberately divided the planting areas for various spiritual plants. A total of eleven kinds of spiritual fruits, including Bingxin Fruit, Sanhuang Plum, Yulu Lingtao, Xingyuan Fruit, Qingling Fruit, Mingguang Fruit, Fengling Fruit, Yunmei Fruit, Hansong Fruit, Qiqiao Tongmai Fruit and Longgu Fruit, are thriving.

Among them, the Bingxin Fruit, Sanhuang Plum, Yulu Lingtao, Xingyuan Fruit, Qingling Fruit, Yunmei Fruit and Hansong Fruit have all borne fruit. These spiritual fruits are enough to satisfy Yang Zhengshan's squandering.

It only takes three years for cloudberries and pine cones to bear fruit, and the number of fruits produced each time is very large. A cloudberry plant can produce hundreds of fruits.

There are fewer cones on the winter pine, but the winter pine cone is a woody plant, unlike the cloudberry which is an herb, and after harvesting it takes three years before it can be harvested again.

The pine cones bear fruit every year, with hundreds of fruits each time.

The Dark Light Fruit and Wind Spirit Fruit are similar to the Ice Heart Fruit. They also bear fruit once every three years, but only twenty to thirty fruits each time.

This year, the Dark Light Fruit and Wind Spirit Fruit have already borne fruit, but Yang Zhengshan only has one fruit tree, so he cannot waste them carelessly.

The growth rate of the Qiqiao Tongmai Fruit is relatively slow. It is estimated that it will take seven or eight years to bear fruit. It is similar to the Xingyuan Fruit Tree.

Dragon bone fruit grows relatively fast and should be able to bear fruit next year. Once it grows up, it will bear fruit every year.

In other words, after next year, Yang Zhengshan will no longer lack dragon bone fruit.

In addition to spiritual fruits, there are also many precious medicines on the top of the mountain. Yang Zhengshan also expanded the planting area of ​​the precious medicines. He transplanted all the original tea trees and fruit trees to both sides of the river at the foot of the mountain. From then on, only spiritual fruits and precious medicines were planted on the top of the mountain where the spiritual spring lake was located.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi were standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking the mountains and grasslands in the south.

Everywhere you look, you see lush green.

The mountains in front of us are covered with various kinds of trees, and the grassland in the distance is like a green ocean.

"Finally it looks like something!" Yang Zhengshan said with emotion.

Yu Qingyi crossed her arms across her chest, a satisfied look on her delicate face as she said, "The vegetation on the northern mountains is still a little sparse!"

The Lingquan space is too large now, and it is difficult for them to take care of everything.

In the past few years, they have focused their main efforts on the mountains and plains in the south. As for the north and further away, they simply scattered some grass seeds and let them grow freely.

In addition to the reason of lack of energy, there is another reason, that is, the Lingquan River flows to the south. With the irrigation of the river and the nourishment of the Lingquan water, the grass and trees there naturally grow more lush.

As for other places, they can also be nourished by the spiritual spring water.

It will rain in the space, and the rainwater in the space is the same as the spiritual spring water, including the snow water melted from the snow mountain, which is also the same as the spiritual spring water.

But rain water is definitely not as good as the endless river water.

Moreover, many pools and lakes have formed in the mountains and grasslands in the south, which is more conducive to the growth of plants.

"Never mind, let them grow slowly, they will be lush in a few years!" said Yang Zhengshan.

"Yeah, this year has been really tiring!" Yu Qingyi smiled relaxedly.

They smiled at each other, and Yang Zhengshan reached out and held her in his arms.

The breeze was blowing gently, and the couple stood on the steep cliff like banished immortals, their clothes fluttering in the wind, the waterfall was like a veil, the green mountains were like a painting, and this place was like a paradise.

Ouch~~
Just when the two of them were enjoying the warmth and comfort, a sound similar to the mooing of a cow suddenly came from behind them, and then snowflakes suddenly began to fall around them.

Yang Zhengshan turned around helplessly and looked at the reindeer in front of him.

"You big fool, stop making trouble!"

Yu Qingyi chuckled, "Come here, big fool!"

The reindeer obediently came to Yu Qingyi and rubbed against her affectionately.

This reindeer was captured by them from the snowfield. It was just a little deer at first, but after a few years it had grown into a two-meter-tall giant beast, so Yang Zhengshan named it Big Silly Guy.

The most special thing about the Big Guy is that it can control ice and snow.

That's right, this guy ate a soul-enhancing pill made from Bingxin Fruit.

It was the first time that Yang Zhengshan refined the Soul-Bearing Pill, and he didn’t know if it was successful, so he used it as a test subject, and then it turned into a reindeer that could perform magic.

A reindeer that can control ice and snow, this should be considered a monster.

However, the big guy's ability to control ice and snow is very weak. He can only make a small snowfall in a small area, which has no killing power. He is more like an atmosphere group.

Every time Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi came to the cliff to enjoy the scenery, this guy would take the initiative to make it snow, adding some romantic atmosphere for the two of them.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan was already able to refine the Ice and Snow Spirit Pill, but the effect of the Spirit Pill was not as powerful as Yang Zhengshan had imagined.

It can indeed allow warriors to gain the ability to control ice and snow, but this ability is not strong.

For innate warriors, this ability is useful, but not very useful. It can only serve as an auxiliary ability. The foundation of innate warriors is still cultivation and perception.

Of course, this does not mean that the Fuling Pill is useless. The Fuling Pill cannot improve a warrior's comprehension, nor can it allow a warrior to comprehend the meaning of Tao. However, taking the Fuling Pill can help a congenital warrior comprehend the meaning of Tao.

For example, if a person wants to comprehend the Dao of ice and snow, the elixir cannot enable him to comprehend the Dao of ice and snow immediately, but it can deepen his understanding of the Dao of ice and snow.

Of course, this refers to the Soul-enhancing Pill made from the Bingxin Fruit.

If you use the Wind Spirit Fruit to refine the Spirit Pill, it will deepen your understanding of the wind-related Taoism.

The purpose of making the Soul-Attaching Pill using the Dark Light Fruit is to deepen one's understanding of the light-related Dao.

The spiritual elixir does not refer to just one kind of elixir, but a type of elixir, that is, the elixir that infuses the warrior with natural abilities, which can also be said to be spiritual magic.

The difference in their properties is the difference in the main medicines.

The prescriptions for elixirs of different properties should be different.

Yang Zhengshan can only refine Ice and Snow Spirit Pills at present. As for the Dark Light and Wind Spirit Fruits, he has not tried it yet because the Dark Light Fruit and Wind Spirit Fruit have not borne fruit yet.

However, after his research, he had a deep understanding of the recipe of Fulingdan.

It is not impossible to adjust the prescription of the elixir, as long as the balance and effects of the main, auxiliary and adjuvant drugs can be ensured.

Today, Yang Zhengshan’s understanding of medicinal properties and alchemy has reached the master level. He can deduce the recipes of elixirs with other properties by himself.

Of course, he already has the recipe for the Ice and Snow Spirit Pill. If it is a completely unfamiliar recipe, he may need a longer time to deduce and experiment. Currently, he has four kinds of spiritual fruits with attributes: Ice Heart Fruit, Dark Light Fruit, Wind Spirit Fruit and Dragon Bone Fruit.

That's right, dragon bone fruit is also a kind of spiritual fruit. Chai Wujie said that this spiritual fruit can turn the spine into dragon bone and enhance one's own power, but Yang Zhengshan believes that dragon bone fruit can enhance not only power, but also mental strength.

Because power can also be understood as a manifestation of mental strength.

Just when the big guy was getting close to Yu Qingyi, a black shadow swooped over and stood in front of Yang Zhengshan.

"Xilulu~~"

The huge head leaned on Yang Zhengshan and almost pushed Yang Zhengshan down.

"Okay, stop making trouble!"

Yang Zhengshan held down Hongyun's big head helplessly.

If the big guy can be called a monster because he can control ice and snow, then Hong Yun's strength is definitely at the monster level.

Calculating his age, this guy is almost forty years old.

It has exceeded the lifespan of a horse.

Normally, the lifespan of a horse should be around 30 years old, but Hongyun is almost 40 years old and does not look old at all. He is still full of energy and strong.

With the advantage of size, Hong Yun's strength even surpasses Yang Zhengshan.

However, Hongyun's intelligence has not increased. He is still like a six or seven-year-old child who likes to play and have fun.

Hongyun was still rubbing against Yang Zhengshan and even shaking his hooves.

Yang Zhengshan had no idea what this meant, so he could only turn over and jump onto the horse's back.

"I'll play with it for a while."

Yu Qingyi smiled gently and also sat on the reindeer's back.

The horse and the deer immediately started running happily.

However, the difference between the two can be seen from the speed and manner in which they run.

The reindeer are very fast. They can run through the mountains as if they were walking on flat ground. Their running is nimble and free.

But compared with this, Hong Yun's speed can only be described as exaggerated. He flies through the mountains like a gust of breeze, leaping over a ravine of more than ten feet in height and climbing up a cliff of seven or eight feet in height, demonstrating his strong physique to the fullest.

In just over an hour, this guy ran back and forth, from the top of the mountain to the edge of the space, and then from the edge of the space back to the top of the mountain, with a speed of fifty kilometers per hour. The key point is that this is running in the mountains. Although it is only running in the valleys and ravines, the ability to cross mountains and ridges is exaggerated enough.

Riding on its back was like riding a roller coaster for Yang Zhengshan, up and down, left and right, it was really uncomfortable.

So Yang Zhengshan said that he was just playing with it.

After returning to the top of the mountain, Yang Zhengshan patted its big head.

"Can't you slow down? You're making me dizzy!"

"Xilulu~~" Hongyun raised his big head, with pride in his big eyes, as if to say, "I'm awesome!"
"Alright, alright, go play by yourself!"

Yang Zhengshan was too lazy to pay attention to it, so he drove it away and walked towards the small yard at the back.

His courtyard is much bigger than before and looks very beautiful. The original earthen house has become a two-story building built with bamboo.

There are more than a dozen rooms in total, and there is a large cellar at the back.

The cellar was filled with wine, and several rooms were filled with tea, medicinal herbs and honey.

There are four tiger skins spread out in the main hall of the main building.

Yang Zhengshan didn't want to show off by using the tiger skin, he just didn't want to waste it.

These four tiger skins are the four little tigers that Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi captured from Wanshanling.

These four tigers have been in this space for more than ten years, and their bodies have become extremely strong. What makes Yang Zhengshan speechless the most is that these four tigers are so fertile. In just over ten years, they have given birth to more than twenty offspring.

As a result, other animals in the space suffered. Herds of cattle and sheep were eaten by them, and even several of the horses that Yang Zhengshan had carefully raised were secretly hunted by them.

There was no other choice but for Yang Zhengshan to operate on them. He skinned them to make carpets and kept the bones to make wine.

In other words, the space is now larger, otherwise Yang Zhengshan would probably have to hunt a few more tigers.

Now there are more animals in the space. Yang Zhengshan has introduced various ferocious beasts such as wild boars, wolves, bears, and of course many birds and herbivores.

However, the number is not large. Since the plant ecology in the space has not yet developed, only a few animals of each kind have been introduced.

In a few years, when the vegetation becomes lush, the number of animals can be released.

"Should we go back?"

In the bamboo building, Yu Qingyi asked while sorting out the clothes that had been hung out to dry.

"Well, it's time to go back!" Yang Zhengshan brewed a pot of tea, blew it gently, and said.

Counting the time, they have been out for more than three years. They came out before the death of Emperor Yanping. Now it is October of the third year of Jianxing.

Yang Zhengshan knew that Emperor Yanping had passed away, but he had no interest in going to Kyoto to wear mourning clothes for Emperor Yanping.

Yang Zhengshan has complicated feelings towards Emperor Yanping.

There was some sincerity in him, after all, Emperor Yanping had trusted him very much before.

But more of him disagreed. He strongly disagreed with the way Emperor Yanping controlled the court. The court of Dayong fell into chaos, and Emperor Yanping should bear the main responsibility.

"I don't know what's happening to An'er and Qi'er now!" Yu Qingyi began to miss her grandson and granddaughter.

"What else can it be? Isn't it just an opportunity when you grow up?" Yang Zhengshan said casually.

Yu Qingyi rolled her eyes at him and said sarcastically, "You don't miss them at all!"

In fact, there was something else she didn't say, which is that you have many grandchildren, so you naturally won't miss them, but I only have these two grandchildren.

Yu Qingyi would never say such things. As a stepmother, she has always treated everyone equally. Although she may have bias in her heart, she will not be biased in doing things.

However, if Yang Zhengshan knew what she was thinking, he would definitely cry out in injustice.

You are the stepmother and I am the stepfather!
We have only one biological son.

It’s not that Yang Zhengshan doesn’t miss his children, it’s just that he doesn’t have much time to miss them. He only misses them occasionally when he has free time.

"Let's go back tomorrow and take a boat back from the port south of the Maurya Empire!" Yang Zhengshan laughed.
