Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 772 The Method to Completely Control the Land of Spiritual Origin

While Yang Zhengshan was studying the "Dongxu Refining Scripture", Fan Chengyue was still waiting inside the Fan Family Restaurant.

At this moment, the eastern sky was already turning a pale white, and the tranquil Snow Valley Town was also becoming more noisy as dawn approached. Hunters and herb gatherers who were about to go into the mountains were preparing their provisions and weapons.

Inside the private room, Fan Chengyue, unlike his usual calm and indifferent self, stood by the window with a gloomy expression and furrowed brows, gazing in the direction of Yang Family Winery.

Snow Valley Town is only so big, and the martial arts market in Snow Valley Town consists of only two streets. The Fan Family Restaurant is less than a hundred feet away from the Yang Family Winery. Standing on the third floor of the restaurant, you can clearly see the Yang Family Winery.

At this moment, there was no movement or fluctuation at Yang Family Winery, as if nothing had happened.

If it were before, Fan Chengyue would have been satisfied with this, but now that dawn is approaching, not only has the Yang family winery not made any move, but the person he is waiting for has not come either, which makes him very anxious.

"Why haven't they arrived yet? Haven't they made a move?"

"Impossible! Since the Soul-Severing Blade accepted the spirit stones, there's no way he wouldn't take action!"

A shadow crossed Fan Chengyue's sunken eyes. "There's only one possibility: the people from the Soul-Severing Blade were kept by the Yang family!"

He still trusted the reputation of the Soul-Severing Blade, so he knew that the Soul-Severing Blade must have made a move.

But the Soul-Severing Blade did not return!

This clearly means that the Yang family kept the Soul-Severing Blade.

"No, I can't stay here!" A sense of fear arose in Fan Chengyue's heart.

A force capable of leaving behind the Soul-Severing Blade must be incredibly powerful.

Even if the Soul-Severing Blade only sent three people this time, they were still not someone the Fan family could handle.

This shows that the Yang family's strength far surpasses that of the Fan family.

Now that the man with the Soul-Severing Blade has disappeared, will the Yang family come after him?
"You guard this place well, I'm going back to the clan first!"

Fan Chengyue left Xuegu Town in a hurry after uttering those words.

However, he did not return to the Fan family immediately, but instead plunged into the Yunxiao Mountains.

The Yang family's strength far exceeded his expectations. He estimated that the Fan family would have a hard time stopping the Yang family's retaliation. If he went back, he would likely be trapped in the Fan family compound by the Yang family.

Faced with life and death, he did not hesitate to abandon his family and everything else, and hid in the Yunxiao Mountains.

Although the depths of the Yunxiao Mountains are dangerous, there are also many hiding places within them. As long as he is careful and doesn't venture too deep into the Yunxiao Mountains, he can survive for a long time.

As dawn broke, Yang Family Winery resumed normal business operations.

Luo Zhen and his companions have all woken up. They were not injured at all, but were in a coma. They felt fine after waking up.

The fact that Yang Family Winery was operating normally puzzled many people in Xuegu Town.

"Grandfather, Fan Chengyue has disappeared!"

Inside the Hanxiao Sect Hall, Ji De'an whispered to Ji Linfeng.

Ji Linfeng stood in the courtyard, holding a long sword, seemingly waving it casually.

"Has the person who wielded the Soul-Severing Blade not reappeared?" Ji Linfeng asked.

“No!” Ji De’an said solemnly.

Ji Linfeng sheathed his sword and exhaled a breath of turbid air. "As expected, this Yang family is no ordinary family!"

Snow Valley Town is the territory of the Cold Cloud Sect, and the Ji family is the local tyrant of Snow Valley Town. In fact, the real control of Snow Valley Town does not belong to the Cold Cloud Sect, but to the Ji family.

Of course, the Ji family is also a member of the Hanxiao Sect, so it's not wrong to call them the Hanxiao Sect.

"So what should we do next?" Ji De'an asked.

Ji Linfeng said, "Fan Chengyue may seem ruthless and vicious, but he's actually just an impulsive brute. Since he helped us test the Yang family's strength, it's a good opportunity for us to abandon any other ideas!"

"We should get closer to the Yang family in the future, visit their winery more often, and see if we can reach a cooperation agreement!"

The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind!

Fan Chengyue felt that everything he did was very secretive, and Duanhundao also thought that their actions were very mysterious. However, as the local tyrant of Xuegu Town, how could the Ji family not know about their connection?
From the very beginning, everything Fan Chengyue and Duanhundao did was in Ji Linfeng's sight.

Ji Linfeng naturally wouldn't ruin Fan Chengyue's plans. His plan was to let Fan Chengyue test the waters first. If the Yang family was just a paper tiger, then once Fan Chengyue's plan succeeded, he could wait until the Soul-Severing Blade withdrew before making his move against Fan Chengyue, and then reap the benefits.

If Fan Chengyue's plan fails, like it is now, then he must suppress his greed, befriend the Yang family, show goodwill to the Yang family, and try his best to establish a relationship with the Yang family, or even reach a cooperation agreement with the Yang family.

"Cooperation? How do we cooperate?" Ji De'an asked, somewhat puzzled.

Ji Linfeng chuckled and said, "There are many kinds of cooperation. The Yang family can provide the spirit wine and we can be responsible for its sale, or the Yang family can sell it themselves and we can help with the escort."

"We don't need to cooperate with Snow Valley Town, but what about outside of Snow Valley Town?"

“We can sell the Yang family’s spirit wine to the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty, or we can sell it to Turtle Island in the north.”

"Go and ask them. If they're unwilling, that's fine too. As long as we maintain a good relationship with them and ensure that our Ji family can obtain a continuous supply of spiritual wine!"

Martial arts are never just about fighting and killing, and doing business is not just about taking advantage of others.

Ji Linfeng is a cunning old fox who has lived for over a hundred years, so he naturally has his own style of doing things.

If you can't take it by force, then cooperate. If you can't cooperate, then try to gain more benefits from it, even if it means swallowing your pride and deliberately trying to please others. As long as it benefits yourself and your family, what does a little face matter?

……

"cooperate?"

Inside the Yang Family Winery, Luo Zhen looked at Ji De'an with surprise.

This time, Ji De'an didn't go directly to Yang Zhengshan, but instead went to Luo Zhen.

Because his status and position were not equal to Yang Zhengshan's.

Yang Zhengshan is the head of the Yang family and a Tiangang stage martial artist, while he is the steward of the Hanxiao Sect and the head of the Ji family, but he is only an Disha stage martial artist.

Previously, he could rely on the prestige of the Hanxiao Sect to be on equal footing with Yang Zhengshan, but now that he knows the Yang family's strength may not be weaker than that of the Hanxiao Sect, he can no longer be on equal footing with Yang Zhengshan.

“That’s right, it’s a collaboration!” Ji De’an laughed. “My Ji family has a shop in the martial arts market of Shanggu County. Although it’s just a general store, we can help sell spirit wine!”

"Furthermore, my Ji family also has a shop on Turtle Island, which can help sell the spirit wine!" "As long as you are willing to cooperate with my Ji family, my Ji family can sell the spirit wine to Shanggu County and Turtle Island!"

Luo Zhen asked with some confusion, "Where is Turtle Island?"

He knew about Shanggu County City. Although he had never been there, the Secret Martial Guard had collected a lot of information about the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty. The clan hall and other halls in the Spiritual Source Land all had relevant records that he could consult.

However, he knew nothing about Turtle Island, and the Secret Guard had not provided any information on it.

Ji De'an was not surprised by the question and replied, "Turtle Island is also a martial arts market town. It is located in the Beiling Sea and was built by the four families of Beiling. It is about a thousand miles away from our Hangu County!"

Luo Zhen suddenly realized that he knew about the Beiling Sea. The Beiling Sea was located north of Hangu County. It stretched from the northern part of the Storm Sea all the way east to the snow cliffs of the Yunxiao Mountains.

To the south of the Beiling Sea lies the former Great Zhao, and to the east is the Snow Cliff Land of the Yunxiao Mountains. In the sea near the Snow Cliff Land, there are some islands and martial arts forces. The four families of Beiling are the martial arts forces in that sea area.

"I see!" Luo Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I still need to consult with the family head about this matter. Please wait a moment, Lord Ji!"

He felt that cooperating with the Ji family was a good idea. The Spirit Source Land had a large amount of spirit wine stored in its reserves, and the production volume of spirit wine was also enormous. If it were only sold in Snow Valley Town, it would definitely not be able to consume the production of the Spirit Source Land's brewery.

Opening more stores won't be easy for them; they'll have to take it one step at a time.

However, cooperating with the Ji family would be much easier. As a local power, the Ji family has connections with many forces in the Lingxiu Sea and the Beiling Sea. If they act as agents, it would save them a lot of trouble and time.

Luo Zhen thought so, and Yang Zhengshan agreed to cooperate with the Ji family after only a brief consideration.

For Yang Zhengshan, what he lacks most right now is time. He needs to spend more time cultivating, but the development of the Spirit Source Land requires earning a large amount of spirit stones.

This is a contradictory matter.

Because he himself is the only one who can freely enter and leave the Spirit Source Land.

Any matter that occurs in the outside world that requires the Spirit Source Land to handle must go through his hands.

If it's just about transporting supplies in and out, it won't take him much time. But if he has to relay various messages, it becomes extremely troublesome.

He can handle one winery casually now, but if he had several wineries scattered around, he wouldn't have that much time to deal with them.

So having a collaborator is a good thing.

The Ji family may not be the best collaborator, but they are someone worth trying to collaborate with.

After Yang Zhengshan made his decision, the cooperation between the two companies was quickly reached.

The Yang family sold the spirit wine to the Ji family at 70% of the price. The Yang family did not care how the Ji family sold it. In short, the Yang family only provided the source of the wine and occupied only the market in Xuegu Town. Everything else was left to the Ji family.

In addition, the Yang family also acquired another shop in Xuegu Town, which will be used as a store for purchasing spiritual herbs and exotic beasts in the future.

The Ji family undoubtedly benefited greatly from this cooperation, but the Yang family did not suffer any loss either.

All the Yang family needs are spirit stones. As long as the Ji family can provide enough spirit stones, Yang Zhengshan doesn't care about anything else.

Now that Yang Zhengshan is too lazy to even pay attention to the Fan family, he naturally doesn't want to waste his time on other things.

For their first collaboration, the Ji family ordered 100,000 jin of spirit wine and paid the Yang family nearly 20,000 spirit stones.

It has to be said that the Ji family is truly wealthy, richer than many martial arts families in the Lingxiu Sea.

With these 20,000 spirit stones, the Spirit Source Land will not be short of spirit stones for the time being.

Spirit stones are indispensable for alchemy, weapon crafting, and the study of formations.

With abundant spirit stones, the alchemy, weapon crafting, and array formation techniques of the Spirit Source Land also entered a period of rapid development.

Yang Zhengshan stopped being distracted by other things and focused on his cultivation.

Yang Zhengshan's most important cultivation technique was undoubtedly "The Void Refining Nerve Technique," because it not only enhanced his spiritual power but also allowed him to better control the Spirit Source Land.

His most pressing need right now is not to gain control over anything else, but to enable others to freely enter and exit the Spirit Source Land.

Since he cannot allow others to freely enter and leave the Spirit Source Land, the interaction between the Spirit Source Land and the outside world will always be inseparable from him.

This not only restricts the development within the Spirit Source Land, but also wastes a lot of his time and energy.

If others can also freely enter and leave the Spirit Source Land, then he can abandon everything outside and let others handle it, instead of doing everything himself.

There are two perfect solutions to this problem in "Refining the Void and Spirit".

The first Divine Soul Seed, which Yang Zhengshan nurtured and planted in someone else's Divine Soul Platform, allows that person to enter and exit the Spiritual Source Land at any time.

At the same time, Yang Zhengshan can also appear beside the person who possesses his divine soul seed at any time.

This method is the most perfect, but it is not easy to nurture a spiritual seed. With Yang Zhengshan's current spiritual cultivation level, it is impossible to do so in a short period of time.

The second method is much simpler: build a gate to the Spirit Source Land so that people can enter the Spirit Source Land through the gate.

For Yang Zhengshan, achieving this was not difficult; he only needed to become the master of this spiritual land.

Yang Zhengshan is now working hard to become the master of the Spirit Source Land.

According to the description in "The Refining of the Void and the Scriptures", mastering the cave heaven can be divided into four levels. The first is to refine the core of the cave heaven. Every cave heaven has a core, which is the origin of the cave heaven. Everything in the cave heaven comes from the origin.

The second is to comprehend the laws of the cave and control the laws within it. This means controlling the power within the cave. If one can achieve this, one can easily change the sun, moon, stars, heaven and earth, and everything within the cave, all within a single thought.

The third is to become the master of the grotto-heaven, comprehend the Dao of Nothingness, and completely take over the grotto-heaven for one's own use.

Fourthly, the soul merges into the grotto-heaven. As long as the grotto-heaven is not destroyed, the soul will not perish. The grotto-heaven resides in the Great Void, and the soul also resides in the Great Void. This is equivalent to creating a world of one's own and becoming the master of that world.

However, the next three levels are too far away for Yang Zhengshan; for now, he only needs to complete the first step.

And this step is also the easiest.

The Land of Spiritual Origin also has its own core essence, which is the First Spiritual Spring.

On Lingquan Mountain, Yang Zhengshan sat cross-legged above the Lingquan Spring in the center of the lake, his spirit and consciousness following the surging waters of the spring to its depths.

This fundamental core is not an object, nor does it have a specific shape; it is merely a rule, or it can be understood as a form of energy.

Previously, Yang Zhengshan did not know that the Spirit Source Land had a Source Core, so he had never truly understood this Spirit Spring. Now that Yang Zhengshan knew of the existence of the Source Core, he naturally thought of this Spirit Spring, since the Spirit Source Land originally only had this small Spirit Spring.
