Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 849 If I don't kill him, my Daoist heart will not be at peace!

The so-called Shenmu Sect is the former Shenmu Island.

However, many legends circulate in the martial arts world. Some say that there is a martial arts holy land behind the Shenmu Sect, and that after entering the martial arts holy land, one can obtain a technique that surpasses the Innate Realm.

This legend is widely circulated, not only in the Da'an Dynasty, but also in the vast seas and the Galuo Sea.

Many innate martial artists even went to Shenmu Island to seek cultivation techniques, and in order to obtain them, they did not hesitate to infiltrate or forcibly break into the Shenmu Sect.

Needless to say, those who could be fed to the fish were all thrown into the sea to feed them.

These legends are not without basis. Although few people from the Land of Spiritual Origin have returned to the Great An Dynasty in recent years, this is not absolute.

The guardian warriors stationed in the Spirit Source Land by the Da'an Dynasty were originally from the Da'an Dynasty and had intricate connections with it. Some of their descendants even lived in the Da'an Dynasty.

They were trained not to reveal anything about the Spirit Source Land, but the bits and pieces of information they inadvertently revealed were enough to spark much speculation.

Over the decades, the Land of Spiritual Origin has become the legendary holy land of martial arts.

The reason Li Changcun brought his family here was because he believed those rumors.

While a family with a scholarly tradition may have its advantages, it can never compare to a family with a martial arts background.

Whether one is extremely wealthy and powerful, or holds a high position of authority, nothing can compare to the extra sixty years of life gained by a martial artist of innate talent.

Li Changcun has no expectations for himself anymore, but he has high hopes for his grandchildren.

"This is the holy land of martial arts!" Li Yunxiao said with certainty.

Li Changcun did not refute his words, because he had already seen many amazing things here: flying horses, flying carriages, innate martial artists who could fly high, and mysterious rune formations. Although he could not understand them, he knew they were very powerful.

"In that case, let's settle down and stay here!"

"Yunxiao, go out and explore the area, familiarize yourself with the surroundings!"

"Daughter-in-law, please take good care of Ning'er and An'er. Our family is counting on them to make something of themselves in the future!"

Li Changcun couldn't stand the sight of his son.

But he was extremely satisfied with his daughter-in-law.

The reason why my grandchildren are so successful is because my daughter-in-law taught them well.

"Father, don't worry, I will take good care of Ning'er and An'er!" Li's daughter-in-law replied.

Li Jianning and Li Jianan followed on either side of Li's daughter-in-law, looking somewhat bewildered.

……

Three days later, Yang Chengyi came to the Li family again and took away the Li sisters, Li Jianning and Li Jianan.

He first took the two girls to the clan hall, where two attendants were assigned to them. These attendants would take care of their food, clothing, and lodging, and would also be responsible for some of their teaching.

Next, Yang Chengyi brought them to Lingquan Mountain again, but this time they did not go to find Yang Zhengshan. Instead, they stayed at Jingxin Xiaozhu, which is located on the west side of Lingquan Mountain.

On the west side of Lingquan Mountain, on the hillside connected to the snow-capped mountains, several small courtyards were built specifically for Yang Zhengshan's disciples to live in.

As the children grew up, they naturally couldn't always live with their master and mistress, so Yang Zhengshan had several small courtyards built on the hillside for them to live in.

This way, they would have some freedom without disturbing Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi's peace and quiet.

In the tranquil retreat, Brigitte Lin looked at the two adorable little girls, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Kids are more fun when they're young; they're not so fun when they grow up!"

She squatted down in front of the two little girls, pinching one's cheek and rubbing the other's head.

There was a handsome young man standing next to him, who couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.

"Senior sister, I'm not someone you can mess with!"

This young man was also Yang Zhengshan's disciple, and his name was Zhang Hexuan.

When he first came to the mountain, he was often pinched and teased by Qingxia, but fortunately, she let him go after he grew up.

"Go away, I'm talking to my junior sister, what are you doing interrupting, you brat!" Qingxia said, feigning anger.

Zhang Hexuan pursed his lips and stopped talking, but his eyes were fixed on the two little girls, as if he wanted to go up and pinch them.

"Senior sister, are we going to live here from now on?" Li Jianning asked.

"Okay, I'll take care of you from now on!" Qingxia said gently.

"Can Mother stay here too?"

"That won't do! This is a place for cultivation; we can't let your mother come here!"

"Oh, I see! Then we'll live with Senior Sister!" Li Jianing felt a sense of closeness to Qingxia because she found her gentle and approachable.

Upon hearing this, Qingxia couldn't help but smile like a loving mother, "Alright, from now on, I'll live with you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hexuan looked disappointed. If his senior sister was here, wouldn't he have no chance to let his junior sister play with him?
Qingxia arranged the bedrooms for the two young maids, prepared the things for their quiet room, and then prepared the Four Treasures of the Study for them.

The two little girls followed Qingxia around like little shadows, which Qingxia found very amusing.

"Senior sister, will Master be very fierce?"

"No! Master won't be mean to you!"

“But Ning’er’s teacher used to be very fierce, and sometimes he would hit Ning’er’s palms!”

"I see!" Qingxia thought for a moment. Yang Zhengshan seemed to have used physical punishment when teaching his disciples in the past, but he rarely did so now. "Your master won't hit you, but you must cultivate diligently and not make your master angry!"

In the past, Yang Zhengshan taught his disciples much like he trained soldiers. He would hold a wooden stick and hit anyone who did something wrong.

Yang Mingcheng, Yang Mingzhi, Lin Zhan, Wang Yunqiao, and others all came from this background.

However, Yang Zhengshan doesn't have much time to teach his disciples now. He won't teach them step by step; he'll only occasionally give them some pointers on their cultivation.

This is also the difference between the path of immortality and the path of martial arts. Martial arts requires arduous training, while the path of immortality focuses on meditation and cultivation. Once you are introduced to the path, there is no need for hands-on instruction. You only need to give occasional pointers.

……

An ancient formation.

Qingxia arrived at the Hall of Transmission of Skills with two little maids.

"Come, Ning'er, place your palms on the stone table!" Qingxia guided Li Jianning to receive the inheritance of the cultivation technique.

Li Jianing obediently did as instructed. A moment later, array patterns lit up inside the Transmission Hall, and three jade slips floated in front of Li Jianing.

"Huh, three!" Qingxia exclaimed in surprise.

Over the years, there have been at least 800 to 1,000 people from the Spirit Source Land who have come to the Transmission Hall to receive the transmission of cultivation techniques. However, most of them only received one technique, while only a small number received two. Before this, only Yang Zhengshan had received three techniques.

"Senior sister, what is this?" Li Jianing asked curiously.

"These are the cultivation techniques you will use in the future," Qingxia said, putting away the three jade slips.

"May I take a look at it?"

“You can’t see it now. Wait until we get back and have your master take a look!” Qingxia said.

Although the two little girls have already developed magical power, their souls are still relatively fragile. If they were to examine the jade slip, their souls might be impacted by the information contained within it.

"Oh!"

"Come on, An'er, it's your turn!" Qingxia brought Li Jian'an over.

Li Jian'an stepped forward and also received three jade slips.

Qingxia was overjoyed to see this, as it showed that the two girls had excellent aptitude.

The better one's aptitude, the more cultivation techniques one receives; this is a rule of the Transmission Hall. "Let's go back to find your master!"

Qingxia put away all the jade slips, took a little girl's hand with one hand, and left the Hall of Transmission.

……

In the quiet room of the spiritual source.

Yang Zhengshan was meditating when he suddenly realized that one of his soul crows had been crushed.

"Is this the direction of Lotus Heart Valley? Do I have any Soul Crows placed in Lotus Heart Valley?"

Yang Zhengshan sensed the location of the Soul Crow and wondered with some confusion.

Lotus Heart Valley is not a place like any other; Foundation Establishment cultivators frequently come and go there. Although his Soul Crows have strong concealment capabilities, they could still be discovered by Foundation Establishment cultivators. Therefore, he did not place Soul Crows near Lotus Heart Valley.

After carefully sensing the other soul crows, he discovered that he could not sense the soul crow in Xuanzhen's hand, which meant that this was the soul crow in Xuanzhen's hand.

"This old Taoist has finally shown himself!" Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but complain in his heart after confirming that it was Xuanzhen who was summoning him.

Four months had passed since Mo Xuanyu withdrew from Black Mountain Ridge. During these four months, Xuanzhen had not summoned him, and because the Soul Crow was placed in the Spirit Beast Bag, he was unable to sense its presence.

Therefore, he still doesn't know where Xuanzhen has gone.

With a thought, Yang Zhengshan transferred his consciousness to the Soul Crow.

In the dimly lit cave, Xuanzhen sat upright on a cushion, the surrounding environment appearing eerie.

"Old Taoist priest, where are you?"

Yang Zhengshan looked around the cave and asked in confusion.

The cave wasn't very big, only a dozen square meters, and the air was very stuffy. There were obvious chisel marks on the cave walls, so it must have been opened up not long ago.

“Outside Lotus Heart Valley!” Xuanqing’s voice was a little hoarse.

"What's wrong with you?" Yang Zhengshan noticed something was wrong and turned to look at Xuan Qing.

His complexion seemed normal, but his voice sounded a little off.

"I got into a fight and sustained some minor injuries!"

"That's good!" Yang Zhengshan then asked, "Where is Mo Xuanyu?"

“Right here!” Xuanzhen said casually.

"Is he trying to bring disaster to Lotus Heart Valley?"

Mo Xuanyu ran away from the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty and came to Lotus Heart Valley. Clearly, he wants to cause trouble in Lotus Heart Valley.

"It should be, but he's currently busy collecting materials and setting up the Yin Sha Blood Sha Formation. It will take him at least seven or eight years to complete it!" Xuanzhen said.

"That's good. Let him take his time. I need to focus on my cultivation during this time! He didn't suspect you, did he?"

"I didn't do anything, why is he suspecting me?"

"Hmm, did you need something from me?"

"I've obtained a pill formula, and I'd like you to find a way to refine the pills from it for me!"

"A prescription?" Yang Zhengshan asked, somewhat surprised.

Lately, have you been obsessed with alchemy formulas? You just finished refining the Illusion God Pill for Yueming, and then Jingshui sent you the formula for the Turtle Breath Pill. Now, Xuanzhen actually wants him to help refine pills too.

"Hmm!" Xuanzhen took out a jade slip. "Can you use the jade slip like this?"

"cannot!"

Yang Zhengshan said irritably, but the next moment, his hand reached out from the Soul Crow's chest and took the pill formula directly.

Soul Raven cannot view the jade slip, but he can use Soul Raven to locate it and teleport directly over. Of course, he can also choose not to teleport over; he can simply reach out and grab it.

"Wait me a moment!"

He snapped out of his daze and began to examine the elixir formula in the jade slip.

"Wind and Dew Elixir" is not an ordinary elixir formula, but a medicinal liquid prepared using the water-refining method.

Yang Zhengshan had previously used fire refining to refine pills, which produced round pills. However, this Wind and Dew Elixir required water refining, a method Yang Zhengshan had never used before.

Fire refining involves refining in fire, but water refining does not refer to refining in water. Rather, it refers to the process of liquefying the ingredients during refining. It does not require condensation into a pill, but rather maintains the liquid state to preserve the medicinal properties.

Generally speaking, elixirs are easier to preserve, while liquid medicines are not suitable for preservation and should not be stored for too long.

Secondly, the medicinal properties of the liquid are milder, and it is easier to absorb and refine after drinking.

The Wind and Dew Elixir is a second-tier medicinal liquid that enhances the cultivation efficiency of wind-attribute techniques. The required medicinal materials are not particularly rare, and the refining process is not difficult. However, Yang Zhengshan has never encountered this water-based refining method before and needs to study it.

After learning about the Wind and Dew Elixir, Yang Zhengshan turned his attention back to the Soul Crow.

"It can be refined, but what about the medicinal materials?"

Yang Zhengshan said.

"You can refine it?" Xuanzhen looked at the Soul Crow in surprise.

"Didn't I tell you I'm an alchemist? And a second-tier alchemist at that!" Yang Zhengshan said with some pride.

"Haha, that's even better."

"What about the medicinal herbs?"

"No."

"Without the medicinal herbs! How can I refine it?"

Yang Zhengshan had a bad feeling, and his premonition soon came true.

"It's inconvenient for me to collect the medicinal herbs, so please pay for it first. I'll pay you back when I have spirit stones!" Xuanzhen said shamelessly.

Yang Zhengshan was speechless; this old Taoist priest actually wanted to get something for nothing.

Pooh!
What do you mean by "getting something for nothing"? It means getting something for nothing.

"Mo Xuanyu isn't paying your salary?"

"I am a ghost soldier!"

Yang Zhengshan was speechless. The old Taoist was pitiful, a mere tool, a tool without even a salary.

"I understand, I'll refine it for you, but it will probably take a while!"

He had no choice but to help the old Taoist priest; after all, the old man was a wealthy man who had come to him for help.

Fortunately, the medicinal materials needed to refine the Wind and Dew Elixir were not precious. They were much cheaper than Foundation Building Pills, Illusion God Pills, and Turtle Breath Pills, and were about the same price as Spirit Gathering Pills. It was not difficult for him to collect these medicinal materials.

"Is there anything else?"

Xuanzhen said resentfully, "When are you going to help me kill Mo Xuanyu!"

"Monks should be peaceful and not think about killing at the drop of a hat!"

"If I don't kill him, my Daoist heart will not be at peace!"

Yang Zhengshan said helplessly, "I'm no match for him now!"

"Get a few friends to help you take him down!" Xuanzhen's resentment towards Mo Xuanyu ran deep.
