Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 720 This guy seems to be the same type as him!
Yang Zhengshan's gaze paused, landing on the Green Wood Longevity Technique!
The name "Qingmu Changsheng Gong" is very similar to "Yimu Changchun Gong," so there may be some similarities between the two.

Moreover, it's a wood-attribute cultivation technique, which should be suitable for Yu Qingyi to practice.

Yang Zhengshan scanned the bookshelf again. There were many cultivation techniques, but the main ones were the Qi-inducing techniques for the Earthly Fiend stage, as well as some martial arts techniques such as knife techniques, spear techniques, and sword techniques.

Just as he expected, the cultivation techniques here all had attributes, which were completely different from the systems he had practiced in the past.

"Why is there no lightning-attribute Qi-drawing technique?" Yang Zhengshan asked, voicing his doubts.

"Thunder Technique." The woman standing to the side flickered her eyes slightly. "The Thunder Spirit Qi-Inducing Technique is extremely rare in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty, and those who practice it are even rarer."

Seeing the doubt on Yang Zhengshan's face, she gently smoothed her hair and explained, "Thunderous energy is hard to find; usually, only thunderous energy in clouds is usable. However, thunderclouds don't appear often, so we can't expect martial artists to chase after thunderclouds to cultivate, can we?"

Yang Zhengshan frowned.

He understood what the woman meant.

The so-called Qi-guiding method is actually guiding and absorbing special spiritual energy from the outside world, such as the wind above the clouds, which is actually the wind-attribute spiritual energy above the clouds. The wind may not blow every day, but the wind in the high sky is still very common.

It's not difficult to draw the wind from the clouds into your body; just find a high mountain and cultivate at the summit.

Inducing entry into the body is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two; it requires years of cultivation.

Although clouds contain thunder energy, it is only activated when it rains. You can't exactly chase after the clouds to cultivate, or wait until it rains to cultivate.

Thunder energy is relatively hard to find, so there are fewer martial artists who cultivate thunder spirit, and consequently, fewer thunder spirit energy-guiding techniques.

Once Yang Zhengshan understood this, he immediately felt a headache coming on.

Wouldn't that mean he couldn't cultivate lightning-attribute techniques anymore and would have to switch to cultivating techniques of other attributes?

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhengshan looked at the Green Wood Longevity Technique manual and asked, "How much is this manual worth?"

"This is a high-grade Qi-inducing technique, considered a top-tier cultivation method in our Myriad Laws Pavilion, so its price is a bit higher, costing eighteen spirit stones!" The woman revealed a sweet smile.

Eighteen!
Yang Zhengshan felt a wave of disgust.

So expensive!
Eighteen spirit stones!

He currently has twenty spirit stones left, and he just bought a bunch of random things, which cost him two spirit stones.

If they were replaced with spirit fruits, then there would be eighteen attribute spirit fruits.

Compared to the spiritual fruits Yang Zhengshan possessed, eighteen spirit stones might not seem like much, but don't forget that most attribute-type spiritual fruits ripen once every three years, with only twenty fruits ripening each time.

Fruits like the Ice Heart Fruit, Wind Spirit Fruit, and Dark Light Fruit only produce eighteen fruits each time they ripen.

Moreover, this is only the Qi-inducing method for the Earthly Fiend stage; there is also the Qi-inducing method for the Heavenly Gang stage above it.

"Does this cultivation technique have a matching Qi-inducing method for the Heavenly Gang stage?"

"Yes!" the woman replied with a smile, then flipped her hand over, and a bamboo tube appeared in her soft palm.

The Green Wood Longevity Technique is a superior Qi-guiding technique for the Innate Heavenly Gang stage. It can draw the Qi of autumn wood into the body, and its accompanying techniques share the same origin.

Yang Zhengshan's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the description on the bamboo tube.

What a profiteer!
Damn it, this is clearly a cultivation technique, but it was broken up and sold by unscrupulous merchants!

"How many spirit stones does this cost?"

Although he cursed the unscrupulous merchant in his heart, Yang Zhengshan still asked calmly.

“Eighty-two!” the woman said, her eyes sparkling.

As expected, it's much more expensive; this set of cultivation techniques costs one hundred spirit stones.

Yang Zhengshan reached out and took out his few spirit stones, handing eighteen to the woman.

"This is all I can afford right now!"

"You're too kind, senior. I can tell you're someone of extraordinary background. I hope you'll patronize my business in the future!" the woman said with a smile.

Perhaps because she had made a deal, the woman's smile became even more enthusiastic towards Yang Zhengshan.

As for saying that he has an extraordinary background, that's not a lie.

Although Yang Zhengshan's clothes are very ordinary now, his demeanor clearly indicates that he has been in a position of power for a long time.

In the woman's view, Yang Zhengshan should be the head of a sect or the leader of a certain force.

Of course, this sect leader is definitely not from the Lingxiu Sea sect, but rather the leader of another smaller sect.

Perhaps this woman came from an extraordinary background, but she did not look down on small sects in the slightest, because the main clients of their Wanfa Pavilion were those small sects and families.

The three sects and twelve families of the Lingxiu Sea all have their own complete cultivation techniques, so they would never come to their Wanfa Pavilion to buy cultivation techniques.

The woman's smile deepened. She gently stroked the bamboo tube to release the seal and took out a piece of snow-silk: "This silk is written on with primordial stone ink; it is impervious to water and fire, but is vulnerable to the true fire of an alchemy furnace."

"Senior, please look!"

Yang Zhengshan unfolded the silk cloth and quickly scanned it, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

This technique is actually somewhat related to the Yi Mu Chang Chun Gong.

It's not that these two cultivation methods are related, but rather that they have many similarities.

They all belong to the category of balanced and harmonious exercises.

If he were to practice this technique, he should be able to master it very quickly.

The cultivation techniques practiced by the descendants of the Yang family are all the balanced and harmonious Yi Wood Everlasting Spring Technique. Even if he doesn't practice this technique, there are many others in the Yang family who can.

Yang Zhengshan was very satisfied with this technique and carefully put it into the bamboo tube.

"Are you a disciple of the Illusion Moon Sect, young lady?"

"My name is Liu Yue, and I am a disciple of the Illusion Moon Sect! May I ask your honorable surname, senior?" Liu Yue asked.

"Yang Zhengshan!"

Yang Zhengshan did not hide his real name because he found that most of the martial artists here were from out of town, so there was no need to hide it.

As for the fact that he came from west of the Storm Sea, that should remain a secret.

"So it's Senior Yang! Liu Yue greets Senior Yang!" Liu Yue bowed respectfully.

Yang Zhengshan returned the greeting with a cupped hand. This Miss Liu seemed quite nice. He had heard that the disciples of the three major sects were all very arrogant, but this disciple of the Illusion Moon Sect was very amiable.

Perhaps it was because harmony brings wealth, or perhaps she was just a gentle and kind girl, but Yang Zhengshan had a very good impression of her.

After leaving Wanfa Pavilion, Yang Zhengshan continued to stroll through the market. He went into each shop to take a look, either asking about prices or buying some small items. Finally, he arrived at the area where the stalls were set up.

Compared to those shops, these stalls have a wide variety of items; you can find almost anything.

There were broken weapons, unorthodox elixirs, many common cultivation techniques, and some strange and unusual items that even the stall owner didn't know what they were.

"What is this?" Yang Zhengshan squatted in front of a stall, picked up something that looked like a bronze mirror, and asked.

The stall owner, a man in his forties, grinned with a mouthful of yellow teeth and said, "Senior, this is a damaged array plate. Don't be fooled by the fact that this array plate is no longer usable; its material is pure bronze essence! If this piece of bronze essence is melted down, it can be forged into a short sword!"

Yang Zhengshan tossed the damaged array plate around in his hand and examined it carefully. There were runes on it; it might indeed be an array plate.

He has seen many runes today, but he doesn't recognize any of them, which is really frustrating.

As for forging weapons, the weapons here are quite different from those west of the Stormy Sea.

The difference lies in these runes.

Yang Zhengshan had just gone to the weapons shop to ask about the special effects that the runes engraved on the weapons could bring.

The weapons forged by the Zhu family on Earthfire Island are quite good, but the Zhu family doesn't know how to use runes, so their Xuan Tie Heavy Spear can only be considered a decent ordinary weapon here.

Weapons engraved with runes are called spirit weapons.

Yang Zhengshan has no interest in forging weapons now, and the Yang family only has a few half-baked weapon blacksmiths.

So forget about forging weapons; it's better to just buy them directly.

"What about this?" Yang Zhengshan put down the broken array plate and picked up a stone about the size of a fingertip.

The stone is dark green, and it seems to be covered with dense patterns, making it look quite old.

"Senior has excellent eyesight! This is an ancient relic! It's a treasure I found in the Southern Wilderness, but unfortunately, my knowledge is too shallow, and I haven't been able to figure out its use!"

"Senior, you are blessed with good fortune; you will surely be able to understand the use of this treasure!"

The stall owner grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and lied without batting an eye.

Yang Zhengshan didn't know what to say.

Ancient relics?

He had just encountered more than a dozen ancient relics, but these ancient relics were worthless!
There is also the Southern Wilderness, which is three thousand miles south of the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty. It is said that there are rolling hills there and many cave dwellings left behind by ancient cultivators.

There are many rumors about finding treasures in the Southern Wilderness. Some say that someone discovered a divine skill and achieved a golden body after only three months of practice. Others say that they found divine weapons and a spiritual fruit that greatly increased their cultivation level after eating it.

Wait, wait, there are countless rumors, even Tian Hu can name several.

"I am not fortunate enough to have this treasure, so I will leave it to you!"

Yang Zhengshan was not fooled at all and simply dropped his things and walked over.

What ancient relic? This is definitely a counterfeit.

Do you really think he's some clueless newbie?

You might be able to find a bargain here, but finding a bargain is definitely not an easy thing. Yang Zhengshan has never believed in things like luck.

Yang Zhengshan then wandered around the market for more than half an hour, buying a book on rainmaking and a book on growth. These things were very cheap, costing only a dozen or so spirit crystals.

In fact, growth magic and rain magic are not powerful spells; they are simply applications of spirituality.

Yu Qingyi was able to accelerate the growth rate of plants before, and An Yuxing was also able to simulate a rainstorm on a small scale.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the growth technique and the rain-making technique are useless. They are methods of experience summarized by many predecessors, and they are definitely much better than the methods that Yu Qingyi and An Yuxing explored.

Once you learn it, you can at least save some effort, or make it more powerful.

After spending most of their spirit stones, Yang Zhengshan and Li Chang left the market and headed towards the restaurant.

Just as they were leaving the market, a loud voice suddenly came from the sky.

"Lu Fusheng! Do you dare to fight?"

The sound was like thunder, rolling in and making people's eardrums hurt.

Yang Zhengshan suddenly looked up and saw a person riding a strange beast suspended in mid-air.

The man was dressed in a tight-fitting black outfit, the fabric outlining his rock-hard muscles. His bronze skin, weathered by time and sand, exuded a roughness and a sense of vicissitude, adding to his fierce and rugged aura.

The strange beast resembled a horse, with a white body and a black tail. Although it had a horse's face, it also had two fangs, and its limbs were not hooves, but sharp claws.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the people and strange beasts in the sky, his eyes gleaming.

Strange beast!

This was the first time he had ever encountered an unexpected strange beast in the Spirit Source Land.

And that person gave him a very dangerous feeling.

The person was calling out for Lu Fusheng, the city lord of Tianque City!
Yang Zhengshan was lost in thought, while the passersby around him were already exclaiming in surprise.

"The Sun family's Cloud Tiger Steed!"

"That's Sun Qingrui, the head of the Sun family!"

"Is he provoking Lu Fusheng?"

A murmur of discussion arose as people explained the identity and background of the person before Yang Zhengshan. Many even recounted the situation of the Sun family, which provided Yang Zhengshan with a wealth of information.

Sun Qingrui, the head of the Sun family, one of the twelve Lingxiu families, is a powerful expert in the Tiangang stage of the Innate Realm.

The Sun family raises a rare beast called the Cloud Tiger Steed. This Cloud Tiger Steed can fly through the clouds and fight. An adult Cloud Tiger Steed possesses the strength of the Innate Realm. If properly trained, its strength can almost reach the Heavenly Gang stage of the Innate Realm.

Hearing these discussions, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but think of Hongyun. Hongyun also had strength comparable to the Innate Realm, but he was only at the initial stage of the Innate Realm, far inferior to Yun Huju.

There are many methods for cultivating exotic beasts. Although he possesses spiritual spring water and a large amount of spiritual fruits, he does not have any methods for cultivating exotic beasts.

Yu Qingyi's training of the Flying Slave Eagle was based on some rumors and she figured it out by trial and error.

If the Yang family wants to cultivate a beast similar to the Cloud Tiger Steed, they probably still have a long way to go.

Compared to the Twelve Families of Lingxiu, the Yang Family is far behind in every aspect, and as for the Three Great Sects, they are even more unattainable.

"Sun Qingrui, don't go too far!"

Just as Yang Zhengshan was lost in thought, a deep voice suddenly rang out again from within the city.

A burly man dressed in dark blue armor and holding a long spear landed in front of Sun Qingrui like a streak of light.

This must be Lu Fusheng!
Looking at Lu Fusheng's appearance, Yang Zhengshan paused slightly while stroking his beard.

This guy seems to be the same type as him!
They both have tall statures, three-foot-long beards, square faces, and piercing eyes, and their imposing presence is clearly honed from the battlefield.

Armor, long spear, and an aura of murderous intent emanating from him.

Aside from the difference in facial features, this is almost a carbon copy of him.

"..."

Yang Zhengshan felt something was very strange.

It was as if I saw myself in it.

Not only do they look alike, but their temperament and aura are also so similar!

Depend on!
