Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 726 Flight Spell, Nanxia Market

"Ok!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded and took out the storage bag from his waist. "Remember, each market can only sell one type of spirit fruit. You can only sell eighteen Ice Heart Fruits and Wind Spirit Fruits, one hundred and twenty Star Essence Fruits, and forty Three Yellow Plums and Light Spirit Fruits."

"After you sell them, buy some Earthly Fiend stage cultivation techniques, one of each attribute, and also three storage bags."

Spiritual fruits are not considered precious in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty. There are many spiritual lands in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty where spiritual fruits can be grown. The three sects and twelve families all have large areas of spiritual fruit trees. In addition to the forces in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty, forces from all directions also have some spiritual fruits. They will bring spiritual fruits to the markets in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty to exchange for various resources.

Therefore, many kinds of spiritual fruits can be found in the markets of the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty.

However, to avoid attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives, Yang Zhengshan did not plan to personally sell the spiritual fruits, nor could he personally purchase a large number of cultivation techniques.

Send Zhou Tianci, An Yuxing, and Liang Shengze to each market to sell a type of spiritual fruit and buy a type of cultivation technique. This will help avoid attracting attention from those with ulterior motives.

After this matter is completed, let the three return to the Spirit Source Land. Even if someone discovers the problem then, they will definitely not be able to find them.

"Don't worry, we know what's important!" Zhou Tianci said.

"Okay, be careful on the road!" Yang Zhengshan gave them a few instructions and then let them leave.

Zhou Tianci, An Yuxing, and Liang Shengze are all experienced and shrewd seniors who naturally know what's important and what's not. Yang Zhengshan trusts them with everything they do.

Moreover, Chen Zhongshu accompanied them with three guards who were responsible for leading the way. They had already toured the surrounding towns and martial arts markets, and had a good understanding of the situation in several martial arts markets.

After seeing the others off, Yang Zhengshan and Lü Hua wandered around the surrounding mountains and forests.

The mountains and forests here are not particularly majestic or precipitous. Compared to the mountains to the east, they look like little children, somewhat lacking the grandeur of the towering peaks.

Dozens of mountain peaks are connected together, covering an area of ​​nearly a hundred miles. Actually, further northwest, it is no longer considered part of the Lingxiu Sea. However, this area is still close to the Lingxiu Sea, so there are still some barren spiritual lands there, and some small families live there.

Similarly, the same applies to the North.

The reason why all forces gather within 300 miles of the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty is that beyond 300 miles, spiritual lands become very scarce and barren.

However, the Yunxiao Mountains are incredibly vast, stretching for tens of thousands of miles to the east and extending for thousands of miles to the north.

The mountain range is majestic and vast, containing countless spiritual creatures, and there are also many strange beasts in these mountains and forests.

The strange beasts that have disappeared west of the Storm Sea are very common here. Not to mention the strange beasts cultivated by the Three Sects and Twelve Families, there are also many wild strange beasts in the mountains and forests.

Raising exotic beasts is not something that ordinary forces can do, but the natural world has nurtured countless spiritual creatures. Over millions of years, countless living beings have evolved, naturally creating countless exotic beasts.

These strange beasts are not to be trifled with. Their intelligence is not much less than that of humans, and their strength is extremely powerful.

Therefore, the depths of the Yunxiao Mountains are extremely dangerous.

Fortunately, Lingxi Mountain is only on the edge of the Yunxiao Mountain Range and near the Lingxiu Sea, so wild beasts rarely appear there.

There are also some people living in the mountains surrounding Lingxi Mountain. These people are all dependent on martial arts families. Previously, the four surrounding villages belonged to the Lingxi Yang family, but now they have all become the territory of the Nanqing Xiang family.

Yang Zhengshan turned south and observed the villages.

how to say!

poverty!
Martial arts families naturally do not value people's livelihood. They need ordinary people to provide them with various supplies, but they only use ordinary people as servants.

Some martial arts families are more upright, and the people who are subordinate to them can live better lives, while other martial arts families treat ordinary people as slaves and only know how to exploit them.

The Xiang family of Nanqing clearly treated these ordinary people as servants; otherwise, these people wouldn't be living such a miserable life.

After making his way around, Yang Zhengshan returned to Lingxi Mountain.

Zhou Tianci and his group went for five days and brought back six Earthly Fiend Stage Qi-Inducing Techniques, three storage bags, and more than one hundred spirit stones.

Yang Zhengshan didn't say much and sent them back to the Spirit Source Land.

With the addition of the Six-Step Qi Induction Method and the previous Four-Step Qi Induction Method, the common Qi Induction methods in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty are now complete.

However, being common also means being ordinary; to be truly outstanding requires even more advanced techniques.

But this is all Yang Zhengshan can do for now.

Although there are different levels of cultivation techniques, one should not waste time waiting for a better one.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi might be able to wait a little longer, but Zhou Tianci, An Yuxing, and the others could not wait any longer. If they waited another ten or twenty years, they would also die of old age.

So practice whatever you have now, and if you're not satisfied, you can switch to other techniques later.

……

Lingquan Mountain Plain.

Yang Zhengshan slowly awoke from his meditation, exhaling a long breath of turbid air. He felt the clear and pure Azure Wood True Essence within his body, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

More than a month has passed, and not only has all the true energy in his body been transformed into Azure Wood True Energy, but he has also completed the process of condensing Qi into Yuan, condensing the first wisp of Azure Wood True Yuan.

The difference between "true qi" and "true essence" is only one word, yet they are worlds apart.

It's not just a change in quantity, but also a qualitative improvement.

He had watched Sun Qingrui and Lu Fusheng fight in the county town before and wondered why they were able to unleash such powerful moves.

With the power of innate true qi, it is absolutely impossible to unleash such a powerful attack.

True essence can.

One strand of true essence is equivalent to a hundred strands of true qi. For experts like Lu Fusheng and Sun Qingrui, who are at the Heavenly Gang stage, the true essence they cultivate within their bodies is naturally incredibly abundant. That is why they have the ability to burn the heavens and boil the seas, and to unleash sword qi that soars into the sky.

Now that Yang Zhengshan has condensed his first wisp of true essence, he is naturally no match for Lu Fusheng and Sun Qingrui, but this is still a good start.

Yang Zhengshan got up and sat down at the stone table next to him, picking up a book from the table.

The book's title page bears the five large characters "Crimson Flame Rainbow Transformation Technique".

This is a book of flying spells, from Tian Hu, also known as the Wei clan of the Great Zhao royal family.

Yang Zhengshan had neither cultivated the Wei family's internal energy cultivation method nor the Fire Spirit's cultivation technique, so he was unable to cultivate this "Crimson Flame Rainbow Transformation Technique." However, this did not prevent him from learning from it.

"Crimson Flame Rainbow Transformation Technique" is a flight technique for the Innate Realm. He only has the first volume, which is the cultivation method for the Qi Sea stage.

The flight spells at the Qi Sea stage are not very profound. After studying them carefully, Yang Zhengshan had grasped some of the tricks.

He suddenly exerted force with both legs, like a spring that had been compressed and then suddenly sprang up, his whole body wrapped in a sharp momentum, and he leaped high into the air with a "whoosh".

Like a cannonball whistling out of the chamber, it shot forward at an astonishing speed, accompanied by a whooshing sound.

In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the edge of the cliff.

"Depend on!"

Yang Zhengshan cursed inwardly, no longer caring about any flying spells. Instead, he used the movement technique he had practiced before, turned around in mid-air, and leaped into the air.

That's how they landed on the cliff.

After regaining his footing, Yang Zhengshan took out the "Crimson Flame Rainbow Transformation Technique" again and looked at it once more. It was a decent flight spell, but it wasn't as powerful as he had imagined.

Although Yang Zhengshan could not fly in the past, he could still use the force of the air to leap up and take steps in the air, and could fly more than 100 feet.

He had practiced several different footwork and body techniques before, and was no longer confined to one type of footwork or body technique. He had already reached the point where he could defeat opponents without using any specific techniques.

However, this "Crimson Flame Rainbow Technique" is very different from the footwork and movement techniques he had practiced before, emphasizing a sudden burst of power.

This doesn't seem like a flight spell; it's more like a spell for escaping.

The burst of speed is extremely fast, but it cannot be sustained for a long time!

Yang Zhengshan looked at the meridians on the book where true qi circulated, thought for a moment, made some modifications, and tried it again.

This time it didn't fly out all at once, but instead floated up slowly.

He could fly, but he lacked agility. Yang Zhengshan felt as if his feet were filled with lead, and he couldn't take a step at all.

"Cultivation is really not easy!"

Yang Zhengshan tried it out while pondering it.

Hehehe~~
Just then, a loud neighing sound rang out.

A crimson cloud surged through the air and came to a steady stop in front of Yang Zhengshan.

It stared at Yang Zhengshan, who was suspended in mid-air, with its big eyes, and hot air was coming out of its two large nostrils.

"What are you looking at? You can't carry me, but you won't even let me fly by myself!" Yang Zhengshan said irritably.

For flight, wind has a natural advantage.

Previously, Xuanzhen was able to fly by riding the wind simply because he had grasped a little bit of the wind spirit, while others could only jump.

Now Hongyun can also fly on the wind, but its ability to control the wind is still very weak. It can fly on its own, but if it carries Yang Zhengshan, it will fly crookedly, as if it might fall off at any moment.

Hehehe~~
Hongyun complained.

Yang Zhengshan had no interest in arguing with it, so he comforted it, "Alright, I'll practice first. Don't slack off either, practice your skills properly!"

Hehehe~~
"Okay, I understand. It's not that I don't trust you, but even with you here, I need to be able to fly on my own!"

Hehehe~~
"Okay, eat if you want. Aren't there plenty of Wind Spirit Fruits over there?"

With one person and one horse, they communicated without any obstacles.

Yang Zhengshan finally managed to persuade the guy to leave, and only then could he calm down and continue practicing his flying skills.

However, after practicing for a while, he felt it would be better to buy a flying spell with the wood element.

You can learn to fly by figuring it out on your own, but the problem is that being able to fly and flying fast and agilely are two different things.

I expect there will be a lot of aerial battles in the future, so a sophisticated flying spell is indispensable.

Besides flight magic, he also needs other techniques that match the wood element.

……

Yang Zhengshan walked out of the main room at Lingxi Mountain.

Li Chang also followed and came out of the east wing.

"Come on, come with me to the county town!"

Yang Zhengshan greeted him and led him out of the courtyard.

The weather was a bit gloomy today, and it was going to snow in two hours, but that didn't stop them from making a trip to Nanxia County.

Nanxia County is not located south of Lingxi Mountain, but west of Lingxi Mountain. It is situated on the southern slope of Xia Mountain, hence the name Nanxia County.

The county town is not far from Lingxi Mountain, only about 20 li away, which is a short ride of 15 minutes by horse.

The Wuxiu Market in Nanxia County is naturally not comparable to the market in the county seat. The entire market is only half a street with about twenty shops. However, although it is small, it has everything you need. You can find all the shops you need here, but the things sold here are far less high-end than those in the county seat.

In fact, the martial arts training methods in Nanxia County are no longer within the scope of the Lingxiu Sea, but the area is still very lively.

Small factions in northern Shanggu County and northern Hangu County can come to the market in Nanxia County if they want to sell or buy anything.

Walking through the market town of Nanxia County, Yang Zhengshan felt less pressured. Although there were quite a few innate martial artists here, most of them were at the Qi Sea stage, and innate martial artists at the Earthly Fiend stage were relatively rare.

This was Yang Zhengshan's first time in Nanxia County. He strolled around the martial arts market to get a general understanding of the situation before entering the only weapon-refining shop in the market.

Lingyan Forge.

The shop was small, with only a counter and an elderly man who looked to be around sixty years old. After entering the shop, you could hear the clanging of blacksmithing in the backyard.

The old man had thick arms and a stubble-covered face, giving him a rugged appearance, but he spoke very gently.

"What do you need, sir?"

Most of these small workshops are run by low-level weapon refiners. Their lineage is very simple, and they don't know many rune techniques. They can only refine some low-grade spiritual weapons.

"I am Yang Zhengshan, and I would like to request a Wood Spirit Spear. Do you have any?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"Wood Spirit Spear!" The old man looked Yang Zhengshan up and down. "I don't actually have that, but you can order one from me, sir!"

"How much would it cost for a custom order?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"That depends on what you require, sir. If you can provide the materials, it will only cost five spirit stones. If you don't have the right materials, I do have a piece of jade, wood, and bronze here."

"Please wait a moment, sir, I'll go get it and you can take a look!"

As he spoke, he went to the back of the shop, and a moment later, he brought out a piece of bronze that looked like ordinary bronze, but emitted a faint green hue. The surface texture resembled the annual rings of an ancient tree.

"This is jade-wood bronze. If you use it to forge a spear, it will not only make the spear hard, but also retain its toughness."

"I happen to have a few wood spirit runes at home, which can enhance the compatibility between wood spirit true essence and the spear."

The so-called compatibility refers to the efficiency of the transmission of true qi and true essence through weapons. Under normal circumstances, true qi will be somewhat depleted when transmitted through weapons, and the transmission will also be hindered.

Although this obstacle is only momentary, in battle, a moment can sometimes determine life or death.

Therefore, for innate martial artists, the compatibility between their weapon and their true qi and essence is extremely important.

Due to the control of the three sects and twelve families over the secret techniques of runes, ordinary rogue weapon cultivators know relatively few secret techniques of runes, and they also cherish them among themselves, treating their secret techniques of runes as family heirlooms.

That's why the old man said, "My family has several wood spirit talismans."

This means that in other homes, there might not be any wood spirit runes.
