Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 826 Bai Yujing in the Sky

"Join the Illusion Moon Sect?"

At the Lu family residence in the county town, Yang Zhengshan looked at Lu Fusheng with some surprise.

“That’s right, Sect Master Yueqing wants to win you over as a Foundation Establishment cultivator!” Lu Fusheng said with certainty.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly, "This won't work."

He sought the position of a powerful family in order to establish a resource base outside the Spirit Source Land. This resource base could either be hidden to prevent outsiders from investigating, or it could be openly presented to the world, requiring only the concealment of the existence of the Spirit Source Land.

Joining the Illusion Moon Sect was clearly not in line with his plan. He might have gained many benefits from joining the sect, but it would not have been beneficial to the Spirit Source Land. On the contrary, it would likely have made Yang Zhengshan more constrained in his future actions.

"Sect Master Yueqing wants to see you, do you want to go?" Lu Fusheng asked.

Yang Zhengshan thought for a moment, "Let's go see him!"

……

Illusion Moon Sect, Mirror Abyss Pavilion.

In the same pavilion, Yueqing was dressed much more formally this time.

She wore a flowing, moon-white silk dress with wide sleeves, over which was a silver-embroidered crane cloak with ice patterns. The sleeves were adorned with dangling jade bells that tinkled as she moved. A soft, dark-patterned silk sash was tied around her waist, adorned with openwork butterfly-shaped buckles made of black iron. The butterfly wings were inlaid with pale blue phosphorescent powder, which seemed to flicker with cold flames as she moved.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful and aloof Sect Master Yueqing, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but reveal a look of amazement in his eyes.

Of course, he was just amazed and had no other thoughts.

"Yang Zhengshan of the Yang family of Lingxi greets Sect Master Yueqing!" Yang Zhengshan clasped his hands in a salute.

Yue Qing stared at Yang Zhengshan, her eyes also showing surprise.

Yang Zhengshan has changed a lot since then. His temperament is no longer as imposing as before. Instead, he looks somewhat ethereal and otherworldly, with a touch of otherworldly elegance.

"Yueqing greets the True Immortal!" Yueqing curtsied and said in a calm tone.

"Don't dare!"

"Master, Patriarch Lu, please have a seat!"

The three sat down, and tea was served. Yang Zhengshan casually picked up the tea and took a small sip.

The delicate aroma of tea spreads in the mouth, and as the tea enters the stomach, its rich spiritual energy immediately permeates the entire body, bringing a refreshing and invigorating feeling.

“Good tea!”

"This is Broken Moon Spring, a unique spiritual tea of ​​my Illusion Moon Sect. If you like it, I can give you some later!" Yue Qing personally poured tea for Yang Zhengshan and said with a smile.

Yang Zhengshan felt quite comfortable with her courteous and respectful manner.

"Then I thank Sect Master Yueqing very much!" Yang Zhengshan said, accepting the thanks without being overly polite.

After finishing the small talk, Yueqing took the initiative to steer the conversation to the main topic.

"Would the True Immortal be willing to join my Illusion Moon Sect?"

"Hehe, Master, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Let's see the conditions offered by my Illusion Moon Sect first!"

As she spoke, she took out a storage bag and handed it to Yang Zhengshan.

"These are the gifts I prepared for you, True Person. If you are willing to join my Illusion Moon Sect, my sect is willing to give you these stipends every year. In addition, my sect will also make Moon Gazing Mountain your cultivation ground!" Yue Qing said.

Yang Zhengshan opened the storage bag and looked at the contents. He couldn't help but marvel at the wealth and power of the Illusion Moon Sect.

Ten Spirit Gathering Pills, eight thousand low-grade spirit stones, thirty mid-grade spirit stones, and various other materials needed for cultivation.

This Spirit Gathering Pill is a pill needed for Foundation Establishment cultivators, roughly equivalent to the Jade Marrow Pill for Qi Refining cultivators.

Although the Spirit Gathering Pill is only a relatively common second-tier pill, it is not cheap. In Lotus Heart Valley, a low-grade Spirit Gathering Pill costs eight hundred spirit stones.

The items provided by the Illusion Moon Sect are worth approximately 20,000 low-grade spirit stones, and this is only a year's salary.

"Furthermore, my Illusion Moon Sect possesses many immortal cultivation techniques, which all True Immortals can freely read and cultivate."

Yueqing looked at Yang Zhengshan solemnly, "In addition, I will also give you a magic weapon!"

Yang Zhengshan's expression shifted slightly; he was genuinely tempted by the magic weapon.

What he lacks most right now is a magic weapon.

Although he already possessed the Soul-Sweeping Bell and the Soul-Breaking Cone, these two magical treasures were somewhat unorthodox and not his preferred type.

The magic treasure of the Illusion Moon Sect should be an ancient remnant array. How could Yang Zhengshan not be tempted by the magic treasures in the ancient remnant array?

"This..." Yang Zhengshan hesitated.

Before coming here, he had never thought about joining the Illusion Moon Sect, but now Yang Zhengshan was truly tempted.

Yang Zhengshan hesitated for a moment and said, "I can feel the sincerity of Sect Master Yueqing, but I am unable to join the Huanyue Sect due to some matters!"

He still refused.

Unfortunately, once he joined the Illusion Moon Sect, he would be subject to its restrictions, which clearly did not align with his plans.

"Please think it over carefully!" Yueqing was not annoyed by Yang Zhengshan's rejection, and her face still maintained a calm smile.

Looking at the sect leader of the Illusion Moon Sect, Yang Zhengshan felt quite admiring of her.

Such a generous offer to recruit him demonstrates that Yueqing is a person of great courage and vision.

"Sect Leader Yueqing, how about we cooperate in a different way?"

"cooperate?"

"That's right, it's cooperation!"

Yueqing finally revealed a strange look in her eyes. Did Yang Zhengshan have the qualifications to cooperate with the Illusion Moon Sect?
Foundation Establishment cultivators can attain a very high status, but the Illusion Moon Sect is not a small sect either.

Martial artists are inferior to immortal cultivators, but that refers to the situation when they are at the same level. The Illusion Moon Sect does have martial immortals.

The Martial Immortal's strength is enough to crush any Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Yang Zhengshan is not qualified to cooperate with the Illusion Moon Sect, and the Yang family of Lingxi is even less qualified to cooperate with the Illusion Moon Sect.

The two are not even on the same level of power, so how can they cooperate?

At this moment, Yueqing felt that Yang Zhengshan was somewhat arrogant and conceited!
However, she suppressed her displeasure and said, "Please, Master, speak frankly!"

Yang Zhengshan was not arrogant; he simply wanted to find a different way to get on board with the powerful Huan Yue Sect.

The Spirit Source Land needs a powerful ally, and the Illusion Moon Sect is a perfect fit.

Therefore, his idea was to cooperate with the Illusion Moon Sect.

Currently, the Spirit Source Land is relying on the power of the Illusion Moon Sect, but in the future, it's uncertain who will rely on whom.

“It’s very simple. I will join the Illusion Moon Sect and become a guest elder. In return, the Illusion Moon Sect will help the Lingxi Yang Family obtain the status of a prestigious family. At the same time, I will cooperate with the Illusion Moon Sect in the name of the Lingxi Yang Family. We will exchange resources and cooperate for mutual benefit!” Yue Qing found it somewhat amusing. “Is there anything we can cooperate on?”

"Of course!" Yang Zhengshan took out a porcelain bottle and said, "This is Jade Marrow Pill, suitable for Qi Refining stage cultivators, and can also be taken by Heavenly Gang stage martial artists!"

"This is a Hundred Fruit Wine, a very good spiritual wine. Sect Master Yueqing, you should try it!"

"This is Spirit Dew Tea, no less delicious than your sect's Broken Moon Spring Tea!"

"We can also provide a lot of medicinal herbs, spiritual fruits, various pills, spiritual weapons, and so on."

"In addition, we also have Crimson Cloud Horses for sale, a kind of exotic beast that can be used for transportation and is relatively inexpensive."

There are quite a few Crimson Cloud Horses in the Spirit Source Land now. Although their combat power is not outstanding, they are still quite good for transportation.

In terms of productivity, the Illusion Moon Sect is no match for the Spirit Source Land, especially in the cultivation of spiritual herbs and fruits, where the Spirit Source Land can crush the three major sects.

After hearing what he said, Yueqing was stunned, and Lu Fusheng was also stunned.

They all looked at Yang Zhengshan with a very strange expression.

Before Yueqing could speak, Lu Fusheng couldn't help but say, "Brother Yang, Lingxi Mountain shouldn't have such abundant produce!"

"Hehe, to be honest, I am not only the head of the Yang family of Lingxi, but also a steward of Baiyujing!" Yang Zhengshan was about to make up a background.

"Bai Yujing?" Yue Qing murmured, wondering where Bai Yujing could possibly have such strength.

“That’s right, it’s the Jade Palace in the heavens, with twelve towers and five cities. An immortal touched my head and granted me immortality.” Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and recited softly.

Since the Yang family of Lingxi is not qualified to cooperate with the Illusion Moon Sect, then let Bai Yujing cooperate with the Illusion Moon Sect. Bai Yujing is certainly qualified!

As for what Baiyujing is, let me make it up for you.

“Senior Lu should know that I returned to the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty more than twenty years ago. In fact, I came back from the Jade Capital!” Yang Zhengshan said.

"What kind of power is this Bai Yujing?" Lu Fusheng looked at him strangely.

"The Jade Palace in the heavens is naturally in the outer heavens!" Yang Zhengshan pointed upwards.

"Uh!" Lu Fusheng felt that he was talking nonsense, but it seemed to be done in a very sophisticated way.

Yue Qing's eyes flickered, "The Outer Heavens, the Great Void?"

Yang Zhengshan raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect that Sect Master Yueqing would know about Taixu! Baiyujing is indeed stored in Taixu."

Lu Fusheng looked completely bewildered.

"So, this Baiyujing is a blessed land?" Yueqing asked.

“That’s right!” Yang Zhengshan said calmly.

He really didn't expect that Yue Qing would know about the Cave Heaven. You should know that among the ancient ruins, apart from the "Cave Void Refining Scripture", Yang Zhengshan had not found any records about the Cave Heaven.

Of course, the Golden Crow knows about the cave heaven, but a spirit like the Golden Crow should be extremely rare. Even the three sects of Lingxiu might not have such a treasure.

Yang Zhengshan was surprised that Yueqing knew about the cave, but Yueqing was extremely shocked by Bai Yujing, which Yang Zhengshan mentioned. At this moment, her heart was in turmoil.

The Illusion Moon Sect naturally knew of the existence of the Cave Heaven. Not only the Illusion Moon Sect, but also Hidden Sword Mountain, Profound Purity Sect, and Formless Sect knew of the existence of the Cave Heaven.

Because they knew that the Sun True Sect had a secret cave.

This story dates back more than four thousand years and involves the origins of Hidden Sword Mountain and the three sects of Lingxiu.

The founder of Hidden Sword Mountain was the first lucky one to enter the ancient ruins. Although the ancient ruins had become ruins at that time, the natural treasures and magical artifacts left behind were countless.

The founder of Hidden Sword Mountain embarked on the path of immortality thanks to this opportunity. However, his affinity for immortality was not profound. He only entered the ancient ruins once and never found a way to enter them again. Therefore, his cultivation level remained at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Several hundred years after the establishment of Hidden Sword Mountain, another lucky person entered the ancient formation and even received the formation's inheritance.

Perhaps to be more precise, this lucky person walked out of the ancient formation rather than entered it.

The second lucky person became a formation master and spent his life studying ancient formations, but he still couldn't find the loopholes in the ancient formations.

Until the sixth sect leader of Hidden Sword Mountain, more than three thousand years ago, this sect leader was not only a sword cultivator but also a formation master. With the help of the experience of his predecessors, he finally found a way to enter the ancient formation.

Since then, the ancient ruins have become the back garden of Hidden Sword Mountain, and can be entered once every ten years.

This sect leader also became a Golden Core True Monarch by relying on the resources in the ruins, and was known as the Heavenly Sword True Monarch. He was also the only immortal cultivator in Hidden Sword Mountain to reach the Golden Core realm.

Hidden Sword Mountain rose to prominence under his leadership, seizing control of the ancient remnant array and the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty in one fell swoop.

The Lingxiu Three Sects were established during the rise of Cangjian Mountain.

The reason why Cangjian Mountain supports the Lingxiu Three Sects is very simple: to allow the disciples of the Lingxiu Three Sects to enter the ruins, collect resources from the ruins, and explore the ruins.

At that time, there were not many disciples in Hidden Sword Mountain, and each disciple was extremely precious to Hidden Sword Mountain. Therefore, True Monarch Heavenly Sword supported and served the martial arts sect.

Driven by Hidden Sword Mountain, its disciples brought out many items left behind by the Sun True Sect from the ancient ruins, including some books and internal sect documents.

These ancient texts and documents record that the Taiyang Zhenzong sect also has a secret grotto-heaven, which they call Zhenyang Tian.

Yueqing knew of the existence of the cave heaven because the scriptures passed down by the Illusion Moon Sect contained some information about the True Yang Heaven.

Heavenly Sword True Lord had been searching for Zhenyangtian's whereabouts, but unfortunately, he found no information related to Zhenyangtian until his death.

These matters are kept secret within the Illusion Moon Sect. Not to mention outsiders, even among the sect's disciples and elders, very few people know about them.

Yue Qing calmed her shock and looked at Yang Zhengshan, saying, "Can you represent Bai Yujing?"

She still had some doubts about Yang Zhengshan's words, but she also believed them to some extent, and even preferred to believe that what Yang Zhengshan said was true.

“Of course not. I said our cooperation is in the name of the Yang family of Lingxi, not Bai Yujing!” Yang Zhengshan said.

Baiyujing was something he created. Although he could rename the Spirit Source Land to Baiyujing, it wouldn't make much sense.

Okay, it doesn't matter if we change it.

When the time comes, we will build twelve towers and five cities in the land of spiritual origin. Yang Zhengshan said that the land of spiritual origin is Baiyujing, so the land of spiritual origin is Baiyujing.

"Then~~"

For a moment, Yueqing didn't know what to say.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "Cooperation should be mutually beneficial. I believe that the Illusion Moon Sect should be able to gain huge benefits from our cooperation. Of course, I also understand that this is just my opinion and it is difficult to make the Illusion Moon Sect completely believe it, but cooperation between the two parties will not do any harm to the Illusion Moon Sect."

Yueqing calmed down. "This is not a decision I can make alone!"

“Well, your clan can discuss this at their leisure; there’s no rush!” Yang Zhengshan said.

"That's good!" Yue Qing nodded and said earnestly.

Although the two did not reach a consensus on the cooperation, it was still a good start.

At the very least, Yang Zhengshan felt that the Illusion Moon Sect had no reason to refuse this cooperation.
