Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 707 Victory means dominating the world, defeat means burying oneself in the mountains.

After making some simple plans, Yang Zhengshan led Wang Mingzhe to the riverbank to look at the spirit fruit trees.

Have you looked at all the prescriptions I gave you?

Yang Zhengshan asked.

“I’ve seen it! But there are many parts that I don’t quite understand!” Wang Mingzhe said.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll guide you through refining it a few times in the next day or two, and you'll understand! The formula for the Spirit Attachment Pill requires different assistant and adjuvant herbs due to their different properties, but it still follows the principle of monarch, minister, adjuvant, and adjuvant."

"There may have been some minor adjustments made to the configuration and cooking time!"

"The pill formulas I gave you were all developed by me. You can study them in the future and see if you can develop even better formulas!"

Alchemy is a highly creative discipline, and the recipes are not fixed formulas.

Each prescription is actually a summary of research by predecessors, and it may have flaws or unreasonable aspects.

The correct way to study elixirs is not to rigidly follow the recipes to make pills, but to understand them based on their medicinal properties and pharmacology.

Snow Spirit Palace only gave Yang Zhengshan a recipe for a Spirit-Attaching Pill with the attribute of ice and snow. Yang Zhengshan has already deduced Spirit-Attaching Pills with the attributes of wind and power based on this recipe.

Now, Yang Zhengshan is going to pass on the recipe for refining the Spirit-Attaching Pill to Wang Mingzhe. Wang Mingzhe has extremely high talent in medicine and alchemy. He used to be the most skilled physician and alchemist on Star Moon Island, and he is still the most skilled physician and alchemist on Divine Tree Island. In the future, he will also be the most skilled physician and alchemist in the entire space.

Of course, this refers to everyone except Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan's medical skills were far inferior to Wang Mingzhe's, but Yang Zhengshan's alchemy skills were superior to Wang Mingzhe's.

The importance of the Spirit-Attaching Pill goes without saying. The Yang family will definitely need a large number of Spirit-Attaching Pills in the future, so Yang Zhengshan intends to cultivate Wang Mingzhe's alchemy skills.

At the same time, he will also cultivate alchemists on a large scale in the space. The space not only has a large number of spirit fruit trees, but also various herbs and precious medicines can be planted.

It can provide a large amount of raw materials for alchemy, allowing alchemists to study and refine elixirs to their heart's content.

Wang Mingzhe will become the Yang family's chief alchemist in the future.

Besides Wang Mingzhe, there is another person in the Yang family with good alchemy talent, namely Yang Chengyu. Yang Chengyu is considered Wang Mingzhe's apprentice. Over the years, he has been learning medicine and alchemy from Wang Mingzhe. Currently, his alchemy skills have reached a high level, and he can already refine spiritual pills.

Elixirs are elixirs made from spiritual fruits, such as the Ice Heart Jade Bone Elixir, the Yi Jing Elixir, and the Seven Apertures Heart-to-Heart Elixir. There are also spirit-attached elixirs, which are also elixirs.

Nowadays, the Yang family's elixirs are very famous in the vast sea area. Just as the Zhu family of Earthfire Island is good at forging weapons, the Yang family has also become a force that is good at refining elixirs.

There are many alchemists on Shenmu Island. Although these alchemists cannot yet refine spirit pills, they can refine many kinds of pills.

Elixirs, wine, and tea are all considered specialties of the Yang family.

In the days that followed, Yang Zhengshan spent his time shuttling between the Spirit Spring Space and Shenmu Island.

While delivering a large amount of supplies from Shenmu Island to the Lingquan Space, he led everyone to begin constructing the Lingquan Space.

At the same time, Yang Zhengshan did not forget to gather information about the stormy sea area and the Great Zhao Dynasty in preparation for the upcoming voyage.

While Yang Zhengshan was busy with these matters, the battle on the Da'an New Dynasty side also entered its final stage.

The first year of Jianyuan, which is the twentieth year of Shenmu.

On October 28, Zhou Lan and Song Dashan captured Bayandele Black City, and Uto led tens of thousands of remnants of his army to flee towards Yemi City.

On November 5th, Uto fled to the south side of Lake Suluoer and plunged into a trap that Yang Mingzhi had laid in advance.

On that day, Uto, Cui Liang, Tangwuxi, Aguche, and other high-ranking officials of the Uriyang royal court were beheaded by Yang Mingzhi.

On the eighth day of the eleventh month, Zhou Lan and Song Dashan led an army of 100,000 to Lake Suluoer, where they joined forces with Yang Mingzhi and Han Fei, and besieged the city of Yemi.

After an eight-day siege, Yemi fell on November 17th, and the Uriyang royal court was completely destroyed.

Large numbers of the remnants of the Kereit and Uriyang tribes fled to the western part of the north and sought refuge with the Uyghur and Alaman tribes.

Although the Huiba and Alaman tribes were located in the desolate western region, they were not attacked by the various armies of Da'an this time, so they still preserved most of their military strength.

Faced with the powerful Da'an New Dynasty, the Huiba and Alaman tribes could only avoid its sharp edge, migrating more than 300 li westward and giving up all the areas around the Miluling Mountains.

With the destruction of the Uriyang royal court, the entire northern region became the territory of the new Da'an dynasty. Starting from the Milu Ridge, including the central grasslands, the Menghe Mountains, and the northern part of Chongshan Town, more than five thousand miles of territory were incorporated into the Da'an map.

In terms of area, this is almost half the territory of the former Great Rong.

As for the Ula tribe, they fled into the snowy plains and dared not continue to live near Lake Sari.

After the Northern War ended, the Da'an New Dynasty reorganized the administrative and military divisions of the Northern Region.

Chongshan Town was changed to Chongshan Province, and Heiyun Town was added.

Beiyuan Town and Longbei Town were renamed Longbei Province, and Menghe Town was added.

Suzhou Town and Tingzhou Town were merged into Suzhou Town, and Milu Town was added in the north.

Additionally, a new province, Northern Xinjiang, will be established based on Yemi City and Bayandelehe City. A new province, Inner Mongolia Qinghai Province, will be established based on Kuku City and the territory of the Tatar Banner.

The soldiers from the original Chongshan Town, Beiyuan Town, and Longbei Town will be relocated north to build new border towns.

Meanwhile, people from Liaodong and Liaoxi will be relocated to Northern Xinjiang Province and Inner Mongolia and Qinghai Province.

Of course, that's all for the future.

Not long after the Uriyang Kingdom was destroyed, the Great Yue Dynasty in the west withdrew its troops and sent envoys to the new Da'an Dynasty to submit to its rule.

At the same time, the decisive battle between the new Da'an dynasty and Chen Hengchang was about to begin.

Emperor Yang Chengye personally led 60,000 imperial troops and 50,000 new soldiers southward through the official road where Cuixia Valley was located, arriving at the southern foot of Wanshan Ridge.

Chen Hengchang, showing no weakness, led an army of 200,000 men in an attempt to prevent Yang Chengye from entering Jiangnan.

The two sides faced off against each other on the southern slope of Wanshanling, and a major battle was imminent.

At the foot of the mountain, Yang Chengye, clad in golden armor, gazed solemnly at Chen Hengchang's army opposite him.

Chen Hengchang's strength should not be underestimated; his 200,000-strong army is far more difficult to deal with than the 300,000-strong army of the Great Liang Dynasty.

Chen Hengchang has the support of the Shenyang Sect. Although the Shenyang Sect used to be just a bunch of rats in the gutter, they now have a huge force of more than 100,000 martial arts followers.

During this period, the Shenyang Sect has caused a great deal of harm to the three provinces of Jiangnan, Fuhai, and Yunnan and Guizhou.

Within the three provinces, apart from a few martial arts forces, they have basically ravaged the entire region, and now these three provinces are almost becoming a vacuum for martial artists.

Apart from the Shenyang Sect, it is almost impossible to find any other martial arts forces.

Of course, there are also a few forces that the Shenyang Sect is unwilling to provoke, such as the Wuzhen Dao Palace, the Xilou Sword Sect, and other Jianghu forces that possess the ability to establish a foundation.

The Shenyang Sect cultivated over 100,000 martial arts followers by relying on the martial artists of those martial arts forces.

Even the Yang family would have a hard time assembling an army of martial artists of this size.

However, the army of the Divine Sun Cult has a fatal flaw: brutality and madness.

Yang Chengye could feel a bloody and violent aura rushing towards him just by looking at the Shenyang Sect army from afar.

At this time, he only had 110,000 soldiers at his disposal, while the opposing force was twice his size. Most troublesome of all were the more than 100,000 brutal Shenyang cultists on the other side. Outnumbered and outgunned by the brutal Shenyang cultists, this battle was destined to be an extremely brutal one.

With a determined look in his eyes, Yang Chengye reached for a long spear and shouted in a booming voice, "Charge forward without hesitation, until death do us part!"

"kill!"

He charged forward brandishing his spear, with thousands of heavily armored cavalry in front of him and tens of thousands of well-equipped cavalry behind him.

There were no clever strategies available for this battle; it was a fight to the death.

The narrow road meets the brave to win!

In an instant, shouts of battle resounded continuously.

Chen Hengchang stood on horseback amidst the army, holding a long sword, his face filled with excitement as he gazed at the approaching Da'an army.

Regardless of the outcome, he is finally taking this step today.

Victory means dominating the world; defeat means burying oneself in the mountains.

After experiencing so much and enduring so much, he can finally stand upright before the world and embrace it.

Chen Hengchang is a complex person. He has great ambitions, lofty aspirations, and his own humanity, but he is forced to embark on an extremely rugged path.

He fled as a boy, endured hardship in his youth, suffered humiliation in middle age, and now, he is over fifty, but he still holds the greatest hope for the future.

In fact, he also looked down on the Shenyang Sect, but he had no choice but to cooperate with it, and he even had to be humiliated by being manipulated by the Shenyang Sect.

He knew some things were wrong, but he still had to do them.

He had his own helplessness and his own expectations; many things happened under duress.

For example, after entering Jiangnan, he did think about restoring a bright and prosperous world, but after several efforts, he suddenly realized that the bright and prosperous world he wanted was impossible to achieve.

There are too many people around him and in front of him who are hindering him.

So he raised his sword, revealing his most insane side, and compromised with the Divine Sun Sect once again.

And this time, it will be the last.

"That's right, this is the last time!"

Chen Hengchang's eyes were filled with a chilling intent. He hated the gentry and powerful families of Jiangnan, as well as the Shenyang Sect and Lin Fu'an.

Perhaps Lin Fu'an was trying his best to help him, but it is undeniable that Lin Fu'an led him astray.

No matter how powerful the Divine Sun Sect is, it is ultimately not the righteous path.

From the day he began cooperating with the Divine Sun Sect, he knew his chances of success were extremely slim.

Because it is very difficult for the Shenyang Sect to win people's hearts.

But no matter what, he has come this far and encountered the most important moment of his life.

"kill!"

Chen Hengchang also let out a roar, a roar filled with madness and expectation.

His roar was accompanied by howls that resembled those of a wild beast.

Thousands upon thousands of Shenyang cultists, their eyes bloodshot, charged toward the Da'an army like madmen.

Formations and orders were useless at this moment; they only knew how to charge forward and kill.

Soon, the two armies clashed.

Blood spurted out, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed to dye the world a blood red.

Yang Chengye showed no regard for his own life, personally leading his heavy armored cavalry in a charge. As he charged, he roared, his golden armor almost turning into blood-stained armor.

The thousands of Da'an soldiers around them seemed to be infected by the spirit, and they charged forward fearlessly.

"Charge forward relentlessly, until death do us part!"

Roars rose and fell, and the belief in fighting to the death became fervent and frenzied.

If the madness of the Shenyang followers stemmed from the distortion of human nature, then the madness of the Da'an soldiers came from their beliefs.

This slogan is not empty rhetoric, but a belief etched into the very bones of every soldier in Chongshan Town.

It is the military spirit that Yang Zhengshan left them!
In Chongshan Town, Yang Zhengshan is a legend. In the hearts of countless soldiers in Chongshan Town, Yang Zhengshan is a deified figure.

Invincible in every attack and undefeated in every battle!

This is the symbolic meaning of Yang Zhengshan.

Many of them grew up listening to Yang Zhengshan's battle achievements, and they all dreamed of becoming Yang Zhengshan or following him into battle.

Today, Yang Zhengshan is not here, but Yang Chengye is.

As the eldest grandson of the Yang family and the emperor of the new Da'an dynasty, even Yang Chengye was risking his life for them, so what did they have to fear?

The frenzied soldiers of Da'an unleashed a terrifying fighting spirit. Even though they faced a group of enemies like wild beasts, they remained fearless, charging forward relentlessly until death.

Soon, the two armies clashed, like two torrents colliding, merging, and intertwining.

The area stretching for miles had been transformed into a battlefield like hell.

The ground was littered with bones, and blood flowed like a river. The thick, pungent stench of blood only intensified the madness.

While the soldiers were fighting, the innate martial artists were not idle either.

Ji Feiyu and Yan Huichun protected Chen Hengchang on either side, while Lin Fu'an led a group of innate martial artists from the Shenyang Sect into the battle.

At this moment, the Divine Sun Sect also revealed their most bloodthirsty fangs.

More than a dozen innate martial artists had gathered around Lin Fu'an.

Besides the four former guardian kings of the Divine Sun Sect, there were actually ten unknown innate martial artists.

Clearly, these ten innate martial artists were catalyzed by the Spirit Renewal and Blood Refining Technique.

Although they cannot compare to the Innate Realm martial artists who cultivate step by step to reach the Innate Realm, they are still genuine Innate Realm martial artists.

The moment the ten unknown innate martial artists appeared, they unleashed a terrifying and brutal aura.

Perhaps because they were too eager to cultivate the Spirit Renewal and Blood Refining Technique, their eyes were bloodshot and their faces looked particularly ferocious.

On the other side were a group of innate martial artists including An Yuxing, Zhou Tianci, Liang Shengze, Lü Hua, and Yu Tonghai, as well as a group of guards brought by Ding Qiu.

In terms of the number of innate martial artists, Da'an far surpasses Shenyang Sect. Even if Shenyang Sect has a shortcut, it still cannot compare to Yang Zhengshan's possession of the spiritual spring space.
