Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 829 Mirror Water Master
Ji Linfeng and Ji De'an looked at Luo Jingsong and Wu Zhan, their already uneasy feelings growing even stronger.

Because they discovered that the two people in front of them were also martial artists at the Heavenly Gang stage.

They had already encountered two Heavenly Gang stage martial artists when they entered the backyard, and now there were three more in front of them.

In other words, there are actually five martial artists at the Heavenly Gang stage in this small courtyard.

These five Heavenly Gang stage warriors were unlike any they had ever seen here before.

Soon, Luo Jingsong brought over the list. When he handed it to Yang Mingzhi, he didn't even glance at Ji Linfeng and Ji De'an.

Their dismissive attitude perfectly embodies arrogance.

Not only him, but Wu Zhan did the same. He only glanced at the two of them before returning to his room.

"Hehe, Senior Ji, please take a look!" Yang Mingzhi handed the list to Ji Linfeng.

Ji Linfeng stared at the contents of the list, then looked at Yang Mingzhi in utter astonishment.

"This is?"

Yang Mingzhi said with a smile, "Our cooperation has been very good over the years, so after discussions within the family, we have decided to expand the scope of our cooperation and upgrade the Ji family's rating as a partner!"

"That means your Ji family can get all the goods listed here from us from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Lingfeng's eyes showed even greater shock.

He looked down at the contents of the list again.

Daoist Lotus Seeds, Pure Spirit Water, Foundation Building Pill, Youth Preservation Pill, Jade Marrow Pill, Crimson Gold Essence, Golden Flame Stone...

He couldn't believe his eyes.

He didn't know what the things in front were, but he knew exactly what the Crimson Gold Essence was.

A second-tier spiritual object, a metal-attribute spiritual object that can be used to forge a spiritual foundation!
And he happens to be a metal-type martial artist.

"You sell Crimson Gold Essence too?" he asked, both surprised and delighted.

"Of course, as long as you can afford the spirit stones, everything on this can be sold to you!" Yang Mingzhi said with a smile.

Ji Linfeng could not suppress his excitement at all, "I want a piece of Crimson Gold Essence."

It's no wonder he was so excited. His cultivation has now reached the Great Perfection realm, and he has found the method to create a golden body. Now he only lacks the spiritual object to forge his spiritual foundation.

As long as he has spiritual objects, he can try to break through at any time.

“No problem!” Yang Mingzhi laughed. “As long as you have the spirit stones ready, Senior, this Crimson Gold Essence can be given to you at any time!”

What the Spirit Source Land has in abundance right now is Crimson Gold Essence and Golden Flame Stone. As the main minerals in the Remnant Array Mine, the Spirit Source Land has mined a lot of Crimson Gold Essence and Golden Flame Stone in recent years.

Now that there is such a mineral vein in the Spirit Source Land, it is naturally not lacking in Crimson Gold Essence and Golden Flame Stone.

"Alright, I'll go back and prepare the spirit stones right away!" Ji Linfeng glanced at the price of Crimson Gold Essence on the list and said without any hesitation.

Crimson gold essence, ten thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stones, ten catties.

This price is definitely not cheap, but it's not an unbearable price for Ji Lingfeng either.

Over the years, the Ji family has made a lot of money from selling Yang family liquor.

"Senior, wait!" Yang Mingzhi stopped him as he turned to leave.

"Uh, is there anything else, Manager Yang?" Ji Linfeng had lost all composure and had completely forgotten the purpose of Yang Mingzhi's visit.

"Hehe, senior, I invited you here to discuss business!" Yang Mingzhi reminded him.

"Yes, yes, yes~~" Ji Linfeng finally remembered the list in his hand. "Let's do it according to Manager Yang's wishes. I have no objection. As for other matters, I will arrange for someone else to discuss them with Manager Yang in detail later!"

Although he remembered, he had no interest in wasting time on it.

"That's fine!"

Yang Mingzhi nodded slightly, and then saw Ji Linfeng and Ji De'an off.

As Ji Linfeng walked back, his heart was still filled with excitement, as if he had suddenly become thirty years younger, and his whole being was full of vitality and hope.

However, Ji De'an felt uneasy and panicked.

"grandfather!"

"what happened?"

"Is the Yang family warning us?" Ji De'an's voice was filled with trepidation.

"Warning!" Ji Linfeng stopped in his tracks, his expression changing repeatedly. He finally calmed down, and his lost rationality slowly returned.

After a long pause, he finally let out a heavy sigh.

"Thank goodness, it was just a warning!"

"When you get back, tell your third uncle to immediately stop those underhanded tactics. We can't afford to offend the Yang family. In fact, we should rely on them as much as possible in the future, even if I succeed in my breakthrough!"

Ji Linfeng said in a cold voice.

Since the Yang family is willing to offer second-tier spiritual items, it means that the Yang family does not lack such spiritual items.

And those items on the list are something a small family simply couldn't afford.

In just a moment, Ji Linfeng realized that the Yang family was not someone the Ji family could afford to offend, and that if the Ji family wanted to go further in the future, they had to seize the opportunities given to them by the Yang family.

“I understand!” Ji De’an replied.

……

The Ji family quickly reached a cooperation agreement with Yang Mingzhi, while on the other side, the Illusion Moon Sect and the Lu family also conducted a second transaction with the Spirit Source Land.

In just one month, the Spirit Source Land earned more than 500,000 spirit stones.

However, the bulk of the money came from the two Foundation Establishment Pills and the three Dao Intent Lotus Seeds.

Of course, the Spirit Source Land also paid more than 200,000 spirit stones, mainly because Yang Zhengshan bought 33 Azure Profound Fruit Cores from the Illusion Moon Sect.

Thirty-three Qingxuan Fruit kernels are enough for Yang Zhengshan to refine eleven batches of Foundation Establishment Pills. Each batch requires three portions of medicinal materials, totaling thirty-three Foundation Establishment Pills. Even if Yang Zhengshan's success rate in refining Foundation Establishment Pills is only thirty percent, that's still ten Foundation Establishment Pills. This deal is definitely a huge profit for Yang Zhengshan.

The cooperation with the Illusion Moon Sect has also brought great profits to the Spirit Origin Land.

Not only can one earn a large amount of spirit stones through the Illusion Moon Sect's channels in the Land of Spirit Origin, but one can also purchase a large amount of scarce resources through the Illusion Moon Sect.

The cooperation between the two parties went smoothly at the beginning, but they encountered a big problem in helping the Lingxi Yang family win the title of a prestigious family.

That is, the Lian family patriarch has not died of old age. According to everyone's estimation, the Lian family patriarch should have reached the end of his life this year, but as the days have passed, it has already reached the golden autumn of October, and the Lian family patriarch has still not died of old age. On the contrary, he has frequently appeared and looks extremely healthy.

This was an outcome that no one had anticipated.

Because it wasn't just Yang Zhengshan and the Illusion Moon Sect who were waiting for the Lian family patriarch to die, but also the Luo family of Anhu City, the Chen family of the Wuxiang Sect, and the Ming family of Qingyu City.

As long as the Lian family patriarch lives, the position of the Lian family as a prominent family will never be vacant, and others will not be able to compete for it, or at least not openly attack the Lian family.

None of the twelve noble families wanted to see this rule broken.

Thus, the matter remained deadlocked, and Yang Zhengshan was at a loss for words.

"Could it be that the Lian family patriarch has found a way to prolong life?"

At the Illusion Moon Sect, on Mount Wangyue, Yang Zhengshan and an elderly man with white hair sat on a cliff, watching the clouds, listening to the wind, and brewing tea.

In autumn, Huan Yue Lake loses some of its tranquility and gains a touch of desolation. The grass and trees on the lakeside have turned golden, as if even the clear water in the lake has been tinged with gold.

The old man before them was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Illusion Moon Sect, True Man Jing Shui. As a guest elder of the Illusion Moon Sect, Yang Zhengshan naturally could not stay away from the sect forever.

He has been staying at Wangyue Mountain for the past few months; at least ostensibly, he has been living there.

Master Jingshui possessed the cultivation level of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. He was a kind-looking old man, but his body was already filled with an undeniable air of decline.

Golden Body Realm martial artists and Foundation Establishment cultivators have a lifespan of three hundred years, but in reality, most of them don't live to be three hundred years old; they usually live to be around two hundred and seventy or eighty years old.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as taking longevity pills or rare and precious herbs, or practicing techniques that can extend lifespan.

However, longevity pills and rare treasures are not easily obtained, and the cultivation methods for longevity also have many flaws.

In short, extending one's lifespan is extremely difficult.

"Impossible, the Lian family could not possibly have obtained the method of prolonging life!" Master Jingshui shook his head and said with absolute certainty.

He also wanted to prolong his life, and the Illusion Moon Sect had been helping him search for a way to do so, but unfortunately they hadn't found one yet.

Even the Illusion Moon Sect couldn't find it, let alone the Lian family.

"That's strange, why isn't he dead yet?" Yang Zhengshan, dressed in a loose blue Taoist robe, leaned lazily against the bluestone, leisurely sipping his tea.

He wanted the prestigious position of the Lian family, but he wasn't that eager for it.

In fact, he was already quite satisfied with the current situation, and he didn't care even if he didn't have the prestigious position of the Lian family.

His previous ambition to seize a position in a powerful family was to enable the Spirit Source Land to acquire a large amount of spirit stones and resources from the outside world. Now that he has opened up trade between the Spirit Source Land and the outside world and cooperated with the Illusion Moon Sect, he has actually achieved his goal.

Of course, he would also be very willing to strive for a position in a prestigious family.

"I don't know either," Master Jingshui stroked his sparse beard and shook his head slightly.

Yang Zhengshan was too lazy to dwell on the matter and instead started talking to Master Jingshui about cultivation.

Master Jingshui was a senior figure. Although he and Yang Zhengshan practiced different cultivation methods, many of his cultivation experiences were very useful to Yang Zhengshan.

Moreover, Master Jingshui has a deep understanding of the cultivation world. He has traveled to places like the Qingli Dynasty, Baiyun Immortal City, and Youyu Gate, and is very familiar with these forces.

The reason Yang Zhengshan was willing to stay on Wangyue Mountain was because there was this Mirror Water Immortal on Wangyue Mountain.

"Actually, you don't need to be obsessed with powerful spells. Any spell, when cultivated to its highest level, is incredibly powerful."

"Take the Dust Removal Technique for example. It is the most basic and common spell, which almost every cultivator knows. But the Dust Removal Technique also has its strengths."

The Mirror Water Master spoke with great charm, speaking slowly and deliberately, guiding people in a captivating way.

According to Master Jingshui, magical cultivation can be divided into five levels: beginner, minor success, major success, perfection, and ultimate realm.

The first four levels need no further explanation. The final realm of enlightenment refers to the cultivator's ability to integrate magic into their own life and soul, making magic a part of their body, reaching a state where they can cast magic naturally and without thinking.

Even so, Yang Zhengshan still couldn't understand what was so powerful about this dust-removing technique.

What are the powerful features of dust removal technology?

He voiced his question.

Master Jingshui laughed and said, "Why don't I show you?"

"Okay!" Yang Zhengshan nodded repeatedly.

"Haha, you, you~~" Master Jingshui was amused by Yang Zhengshan's nodding, at this moment Yang Zhengshan was just like a primary school student listening attentively in class.

After laughing, Master Jingshui flicked his wide sleeves at Yang Zhengshan, and instantly a ray of spiritual light enveloped Yang Zhengshan.

If Yang Zhengshan hadn't sensed that the light meant no harm, he would have wanted to avoid it.

When this spiritual light entered his body, his mind calmed down and became peaceful and serene.

"This is?"

Yang Zhengshan was astonished by the changes in his own mind.

"The Dust Removal Technique can not only remove dust, but also dispel many things, such as evil energy, yin energy, and ghost energy. As long as you can cultivate the Dust Removal Technique to perfection, you will be fine."

"If one can cultivate the Dust Removal Technique to its highest level, then the Dust Removal Technique will also have the effect of calming the mind, and may even be able to dispel inner demons and illusions."

"Do you think this dust-removing technique is powerful?"

Master Jingshui looked at Yang Zhengshan with a smile.

Yang Zhengshan was utterly shocked.

What is dust removal technology?
It can be said to be an essential spell for immortal cultivators, whether at home or traveling.

Many cultivators even regarded it as an introductory spell for practicing magic.

“Powerful!” Yang Zhengshan nodded seriously.

How could a spell that can dispel inner demons and illusions not be powerful?

"By the same token, any basic spell, when mastered to its fullest potential, becomes incredibly powerful!"

"Behold my Grass and Wood Metal Sword Technique!"

Master Jingshui waved his sleeves again, and in the next moment, the thousands of withered grass and trees around him suddenly burst forth with dazzling sword energy, which shot out like a volley of arrows, piercing through the clouds.

Yang Zhengshan watched this scene with great interest.

He also knows the Geng Metal Sword Technique!
This is also a low-level spell, which can be purchased in Lotus Heart Valley for only three low-grade spirit stones.
