Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 728 A Surprisingly Effective Health Preservation Method
wrong!

Yang Zhengshan's mind stirred slightly, and he turned to Yang Xiangheng, asking, "What does it mean to prohibit the annexation of spirit fields?"

He felt there must be other meaning behind this. Although he had been here for almost two months and had a general understanding of the rules among the forces in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty, his mindset had not completely changed, and many of his thoughts naturally followed his old way of thinking.

"So, it means prohibiting martial arts families from attacking each other?" Yang Xiangheng asked.

“It doesn’t say anything about prohibiting fighting!” Yang Zhengshan said.

Yang Xiangheng, however, had a happy expression on his face and said, "It's not that fighting is prohibited, it's that attacking is prohibited, meaning outsiders are not allowed to attack Lingxi Mountain."

That’s what it means!
The infighting between martial arts families ultimately resulted in the change of ownership of the spirit field.

Just like Lingxi Mountain, once the Xiang family of Nanqing breaks through Lingxi Mountain, the spiritual fields on Lingxi Mountain will belong to the Xiang family. No matter how the Xiang family tries to cover it up, the fact is the fact. Even if someone tries to take advantage of the situation, the Lu family is not stupid and will not tolerate it.
Therefore, prohibiting the annexation of spiritual fields means prohibiting different families from attacking each other's spiritual fields.

As for fighting and killing, that's outside the scope of this discussion.

This is a good thing for the Yang family of Lingxi, giving them a five-year respite and freeing them from constant worry about the Xiang family of Nanqing attacking Lingxi Mountain.

However, this does not mean that the Xiang family of Nanqing will let the Yang family of Lingxi off the hook. They cannot attack openly, but they can launch sneak attacks, intercept and kill them. These are all permissible.

As for why the Lu family did this!
It's actually easy to understand. Lu Fusheng hasn't broken through yet, the Lu family isn't a prominent family, and the Lu family's foundation in Shanggu County hasn't been stabilized.

Perhaps the Lu family has something to rely on, but in order to ensure that they can firmly occupy Shanggu County, the Lu family must try to avoid too much fighting in Shanggu County, so as to prevent other powerful families from taking advantage of the situation, establishing their own forces in Shanggu County, and stirring up trouble.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and pondered. The Lu family was probably guarding against the Sun family, after all, Sun Qingrui had previously provoked Lu Fusheng in the county town.

The outcome of that battle remains undecided and has not been widely publicized.

Yang Zhengshan had carefully considered the purpose of Sun Qingrui's provocation of Lu Fusheng in front of everyone.
Was it merely to suppress Lu Fusheng? Or was it to demonstrate the power and prestige of the Sun family?
impossible!
This trivial matter is not worth the Sun family making a big fuss about and personally provoking Lu Fusheng.

After thinking it over and over, Yang Zhengshan could only come up with one possibility.

Sun Qingrui's goal was probably to injure Lu Fusheng and delay Lu Fusheng's breakthrough.

It's unlikely that the Sun family will kill Lu Fusheng, but they can injure him and delay his breakthrough by a few years.

However, this means that the struggle between the two families is now out in the open.

And there may be three major factions behind this.

The destruction of the Wei family, the royal family of the Great Zhao Dynasty, must have been due to the support of the three major sects. Therefore, Lu Fusheng must also have the support of the three major sects behind him, but it is unknown which one.

The Sun family and the Lu family are vying for power, and the Sun family may also have the support of a sect behind them.

The Illusion Moon Sect is closest to Heavenly Palace City, and they may be the Lu family they support.

What about the Sun family?

Could it be the Xuanqing Sect?

Yang Zhengshan was having a headache. The situation in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty was too chaotic. The main problem was that he couldn't figure out the relationship between the three sects and twelve families. No matter how he speculated, it was all just guesswork.

This is not a good thing!

Yang Zhengshan murmured softly.

Now that the Sun family has made their move, they will definitely not back down so easily.

The Lu family forbids the annexation of spirit fields, so what will the Sun family do?

It seems inevitable that the two sides will have to fight.

With these two factions fighting, the martial arts families caught in the middle will definitely suffer as well.

Yang Zhengshan thought about it and then realized that it might not be a bad thing for him.

The Yang family of Lingxi is now an insignificant player, not even qualified to be a pawn. Neither the Sun family nor the Lu family would likely take the Yang family of Lingxi seriously.

At this time, weakness may actually become the best camouflage.

So this is a good thing for Yang Zhengshan.

He needs time to cultivate now; two or three years would be ideal.

In this way, he only needs to guard against the Nanqing Xiang family secretly harming the Lingxi Yang family, and he doesn't need to worry about anything else.

After thinking it through, Yang Zhengshan's furrowed brows relaxed.

"Yes, that's a good thing, but you still need to be careful of the Xiang family of Nanqing. Try not to go down the mountain unless necessary!"

“Yes, I understand. Don’t worry, Uncle, I will keep the clansmen in check,” Yang Xiangheng said.

After Yang Xiangheng left, Yang Zhengshan returned to Lingquanshanping.

Today, Lingquan Mountain is no longer what it used to be. Stepping into this place, what comes into view is a forest of spirit fruit trees. Each spirit fruit tree is tall and straight, with its branches and leaves intertwined, as if supporting a verdant sky.

The branches were laden with spiritual fruits of various colors and shapes. Each fruit was like a twinkling star in the night sky, adorning the lush foliage. A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of the fruit, making one's mouth water.

In the gaps of the spirit fruit forest, spiritual herbs grow everywhere. They are all different in appearance; some have broad and unfurled leaves, as if to receive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; others are short and compact, yet they exude a spiritual energy fluctuation that should not be underestimated.

The colorful petals are layered upon each other, some delicate and fresh, others bright and beautiful. Each petal is covered with glistening dew, which shimmers with iridescent light under the warm glow, like jewels inlaid on the leaves.

Below Lingquan Mountain, starting from Lingquan Waterfall, the winding Lingshui River stretches for 180 miles, with both banks planted with Lingguo trees, the lush and verdant trees numbering over 10,000.

Besides this long river, there is another small river in the valley on the west side of Lingquan Mountain. The source of this small river is the Lingquan Spring that appeared more than ten years ago.

Yang Zhengshan never paid any attention to the spiritual spring, letting its water flow freely. After more than ten years of flowing, it filled three lakes in the mountains, and then meandered all the way into the spiritual river.

Yang Mingcheng has already led a team to develop the lake closest to Lingquan Mountain. The lake is called Moon Bay because it is a body of water that resembles a crescent moon, formed between three mountains.

The banks of Moon Bay are surrounded by mountains and forests. The land is not very fertile and cannot grow crops, but it can grow spiritual fruits, spiritual herbs, and spiritual tea trees.

Therefore, the clan council decided to establish a planting area there, mainly to grow spiritual tea, spiritual herbs, and some newly acquired spiritual fruits.

As for the spirit rice, Yang Zhengshan has already handed it over to the clan council, instructing them to select a fertile spirit field near Changshou City to plant it first.

According to the classification of spiritual fields in the Lingxiu Sea, all fields along the banks of the spiritual springs and rivers in the Lingyuan Land are considered top-grade spiritual fields, and their geology is even superior to that of the top-grade spiritual fields in the Lingxiu Sea.

Other lands, mountains, and forests can also be considered medium-grade spiritual fields.

In other words, the entire Spirit Source Land, an area with a radius of over a hundred miles, is a Spirit Land.

It could be said that Yang Zhengshan possessed more spirit fields than the three sects and twelve families of the Spirit Sea combined. However, the spirit fields they had cultivated were only a small part of the Spirit Source Land, amounting to only a few hundred thousand acres. In the Spirit Source Land, spirit fruits were not considered treasures at all. While it's not fair to say that everyone could eat spirit fruits at will, it's safe to say that everyone could access them.

Spiritual fruits like the Cold Pine Cone, which bear fruit in a year and are edible for ordinary people, are planted in almost every household.

Five years ago, Yang Zhengshan had already stopped distributing cultivation stipends in the Spirit Source Land, because it was no longer necessary.

Previously, the cultivation of spirit fruit trees was restricted to specific areas, but now they have entered every household, with several spirit fruit trees in each family's yard.

To be honest, the Spirit Source Land has no shortage of spirit fruits right now.

However, the spiritual fruits in the Spiritual Source Land are only a dozen or so, far fewer than those in the Spiritual Beauty Sea, and the variety of spiritual herbs is also inferior.

Yang Zhengshan will continue to collect seeds of spiritual fruits and herbs to increase the variety of spiritual fruits and herbs in the Spirit Source Land.

After returning to Lingquan Mountain, Yang Zhengshan first planted the spiritual fruit he had just obtained with Yu Qingyi, and then studied the four cultivation techniques he had brought back with Yu Qingyi.

"This spear technique is quite good; it should suit you well. Next time, bring me back a sword technique manual!"

The two had just finished reading "Jia Mu Chuan Yun Qiang" when Yu Qingyi said with some dissatisfaction.

Yang Zhengshan was embarrassed. "I don't have enough spirit stones, otherwise why wouldn't I bring you back a sword technique!"

Actually, he didn't intentionally ignore Yu Qingyi. He just felt that whatever he could cultivate, Yu Qingyi could also cultivate, so he didn't specifically choose any cultivation techniques for her when buying them.

"Why don't you go out and take a look next time? It's not advisable for me to buy too many cultivation techniques by myself, as it might attract attention!"

Yang Zhengshan said.

“Okay!” Yu Qingyi had wanted to go out and take a look for a long time, but she hadn’t said anything about it because she couldn’t spare much time for cultivation and she was afraid of affecting Yang Zhengshan’s affairs outside.

This "Jiamu Piercing Cloud Spear" is indeed very suitable for Yang Zhengshan. It contains thirty-six powerful and domineering moves, all of which are worth Yang Zhengshan's practice.

However, the moves here are not the moves that Yang Zhengshan used to practice. If we're talking about moves, Yang Zhengshan has now reached the point where no moves are better than moves. He fights completely at will and is not bound by any moves.

Martial arts techniques above the innate level, such as "Jiamu Piercing Cloud Spear," do not focus on specific moves, but rather on the circulation of internal energy and the coordination of moves.

In combat, when channeling true energy outwards, the key to mastering innate martial arts techniques lies in how to make attacks faster, more flexible, and more powerful.

In addition, innate martial arts also include the application of true essence characteristics, which is what was previously referred to as the mystery.

The difference in cultivation methods is actually the difference in the characteristics of true essence.

The mystery contained in the "Jia Wood Piercing Cloud Spear" is that Jia wood is towering, powerful and heavy, and also has the power to corrode.

When using the "Jia Wood Piercing Cloud Spear" in battle, as long as the spear's light touches the enemy's body, the Jia Wood True Qi will adhere to the enemy, seep into the enemy's body, and erode the enemy's meridians and acupoints like grass and trees taking root and sprouting.

Although this ability is slow to take effect in combat, even the slightest impact on the enemy can be fatal.

Moreover, falling victim to this trick can have very troublesome consequences.

If special methods are not used to clear away the Jia Wood True Qi in the body, the Jia Wood True Qi will continuously erode the meridians and acupoints like a plant growing, until the meridians and acupoints are completely occupied by the Jia Wood True Qi, making it impossible for a person to regulate the true qi in the body.

"This ability is truly insidious!" Yang Zhengshan thought about it carefully for a while and couldn't help but sigh.

Yu Qingyi, however, had a different opinion: "It seems insidious, but it might not be very useful. Don't forget, almost all the innate martial artists in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty possess spirituality, and their spirituality should be able to restrain this ability!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded, "That's right!"

The "Jiamu Piercing Cloud Spear" is just a very common spear technique in the Lingxiu Sea, and its power is certainly not strong, otherwise the Sun family would not have put it out for sale.

The two then studied the "Fallen Leaves Seeking Roots Method" and the "Wood Transformation Nourishing Method" further.

The "Fallen Leaves Seeking Roots Method" is not particularly special. It is similar to Yang Zhengshan's guess. It is a flying movement technique that focuses on close-range maneuvering.

Its flight speed is not very fast, but its advantage lies in its flexibility and versatility.

Yang Zhengshan was pleasantly surprised by the "Wood Transformation Body Cultivation Method," as it was a body-refining technique that could increase the speed of true essence recovery and enhance injury recovery.

Improving the speed of true essence recovery goes without saying; the key is to enhance injury recovery.

To be buried in the earth is to become a root, to transform one's body into wood, to bring back spring to withered trees, and to restore flesh to bones!
If practiced to the extreme, it can bring the dead back to life.

If it's just a minor injury, standing on the ground for a while will heal it.

"If this is practiced to its peak, wouldn't one become immortal?" Yu Qingyi said, her eyes shining.

Yang Zhengshan also laughed with delight, "Haha, this technique is perfect for us!"

"The Wood Transformation Health Cultivation Method" is a practice that is easy to learn but difficult to master.

After all, it is a cultivation technique that can be practiced by those in the Body Tempering Realm, so it is easy to start practicing in the early stages. After some hard work, and with the help of a few ordinary pills, one can get started.

However, to achieve mastery and reach the pinnacle of skill, one needs to consume a large amount of spiritual herbs and fruits.

It is divided into four stages. The first stage is spiritual rejuvenation, which is the process of tempering the body and using elixirs to rejuvenate the wood spirit in the body, which can improve physical fitness and enhance physical recovery.

The second stage, Wood Spirit Nourishing Meridians, is a cultivation method used before the innate stage. It utilizes Wood Spirit Pills or Spirit Fruits to nourish the meridians in the body, thereby enhancing the resilience of the meridians and strengthening acquired energy.

The third stage, Body Merging with Wood Spirit, is the minor completion stage of the "Wood Transformation Body Cultivation Method." It guides the wood-attribute spiritual energy to deeply merge with every cell of the body, achieving a perfect unity between the spiritual wood and the body. At this point, the cultivator's body is completely imbued with the power of the wood spirit, and every cell contains powerful vitality and life force.

The fourth stage is to nourish the body by transforming it into wood. This is the stage of great success. One enters the earth as the root, transforms the body into wood, and the withered wood comes back to life, and the bones regain flesh.

The first and second stages of this technique are easy to cultivate, but the third stage requires a large amount of spiritual fruits to fully integrate the wood-attribute spiritual energy with the body. The amount of spiritual fruits consumed is absolutely astronomical.

The fourth stage is even more difficult. The third stage only requires spirit fruits, and it is not limited to wood-attribute spirit fruits. Ordinary spirit fruits are fine. However, the fourth stage requires a large number of wood-attribute spirit fruits, and they must be of the same origin, that is, the same kind of spirit fruits that grow in the same place.

In other words, to reach the fourth stage, you first need a forest of wood-attribute spirit fruits.

This request would be harder than climbing to heaven for others, but it was very easy for Yang Zhengshan.

He had just bought the Wood Spirit Fruit, and in just a few years he would be able to own a Wood Spirit Fruit forest.

This is practically a martial arts technique tailor-made for Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi.

Not just the two of them, everyone in the entire Yang family can cultivate this technique.

Of course, this is only for those who cultivate the Wood Spirit Technique; those who cultivate other attribute techniques cannot cultivate this technique.
