Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 850 Seven Years Later, Annual Report
Yang Zhengshan remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Let's wait a little longer!"

He wasn't without friends; Master Jingshui was a suitable helper. Although Master Jingshui's lifespan was coming to an end, it didn't mean that his combat power was weak. On the contrary, Master Jingshui was a Foundation Establishment cultivator with profound foundations, and his strength might even be above Mo Xuanyu's.

Yang Zhengshan was hesitant to take action against Mo Xuanyu now.

With Xuanzhen around, he could keep track of all of Mo Xuanyu's movements and wasn't afraid of Mo Xuanyu causing trouble in secret.

Moreover, Mo Xuanyu is preparing to cause trouble in Lianxin Valley. Could he perhaps play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?

If possible, he also wanted the Spirit Source Land to have a foothold in Lotus Heart Valley.

Mo Xuanyu is likely to offer him some opportunities.

"Please bear with it a little longer, I might need you to do something for me!" Yang Zhengshan said after thinking for a moment.

"What are you doing?" Xuanzhen asked, frowning.

"Let the Yang family gain a foothold in Lotus Heart Valley! This immortal cultivation market is very important to me!" Yang Zhengshan said.

The Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty is great in every way, except that there are too few immortal cultivators.

Lotus Heart Valley precisely makes up for the shortcomings of the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty, allowing the Spiritual Source Land to truly enter the circle of immortal cultivators and become an immortal cultivation force.

Xuanzhen knew that Yang Zhengshan had a large and powerful family, unlike him who was just a lone man. His brows relaxed, and he said, "Fine, I'll just have to be patient for a while longer!"

"By the way, there's something I need your help with!" Xuanzhen temporarily put aside his idea of ​​killing Mo Xuanyu and said instead.

"what's up?"

"You should be able to return to Da'an, right? Try to help me take care of those disciples and their descendants. At the very least, train one of them to be an innate martial artist. If there are any promising talents, you can bring them over to settle down first. Once I get rid of Mo Xuanyu, I can reopen the lineage of Wuzhen Dao Palace!" Xuanzhen said with some reminiscence.

Back then, he left Da'an alone, abandoning all his disciples and followers. Now that he is imprisoned, he misses them even more.

He didn't want to be alone forever in the future; he wanted to reopen the Wuzhen Dao Palace here and pass on its immortal cultivation techniques.

"No problem, leave this to me!" Yang Zhengshan readily agreed.

This matter is simple. Whether it's training a Xiantian martial artist for Wuzhen Dao Palace or selecting a promising talent within Wuzhen Dao Palace, it's not a difficult task for him.

Moreover, Wuzhen Dao Palace has a lineage of immortal cultivation. According to Xuanzhen, Wuzhen Dao Palace has a technique called "Fuyao Wanxiang Fa" which is an immortal cultivation method, and it is this "Fuyao Wanxiang Fa" that he cultivates.

Upon regaining consciousness, Yang Zhengshan immediately arranged for someone to go to Wuzhen Dao Palace.

He didn't like the "Soaring Myriad Phenomena Technique" of Wuzhen Dao Palace. This wind-attribute technique wasn't very useful to him. However, he felt that there might be someone in Wuzhen Dao Palace who had mastered the "Soaring Myriad Phenomena Technique".

Being able to master the "Soaring Myriad Phenomena Technique" means possessing spiritual apertures, which is the mark of an immortal cultivator.

Regardless of whether Xuanzhen will reopen the Wuzhen Dao Palace, let's first bring this person over to deepen our relationship. Maybe we can add another immortal cultivator to the Spirit Source Land.

There are still too few immortal cultivators in the Spirit Source Land. Currently, besides Yang Zhengshan's disciples, there are eight people with spiritual apertures. However, these eight people are all a bit old and their future achievements are limited. Therefore, Yang Zhengshan only let them receive the inheritance in the Relic Array Transmission Hall and then let them live in the Spirit Source Land to cultivate on their own.

Of course, Yang Zhengshan also gave him a lot of resources. Even if their future achievements are limited, as long as they work hard in their cultivation, it will be relatively easy for them to reach the late stage of Qi Refining.

After arranging matters at Wuzhen Dao Palace, Yang Zhengshan began to study the method of refining the Wind and Dew Elixir.

Overall, the method for refining this Dew and Nectar is not difficult. Yang Zhengshan only studied it for a little over a month before he mastered the formula. He then tried refining two more batches, and succeeded in refining the third batch.

However, the quality of the Feng Lu Qiong Niang (a type of elixir) refined in this batch was somewhat poor, so Yang Zhengshan did not give it to Xuanzhen, but instead gave it to several blue wolves.

The blue wolf is a wind-attribute beast, and this Wind Dew Elixir is also useful to them. However, the blue wolf cannot cultivate, so eating this is almost the same as eating a Wind Spirit Fruit for them, which is a pure waste.

After that, Yang Zhengshan's success rate in refining the Wind and Dew Elixir increased, and in just two months, he sent ten bottles of Wind and Dew Elixir to Xuanzhen.

Compared to the magic of wind, dew, and nectar, Yang Zhengshan was somewhat at a loss when it came to refining the Turtle Breathing Pill.

Even with the help of the Golden Crow, Yang Zhengshan found the refining of the Turtle Breathing Pill extremely difficult.

The main ingredient for refining the Turtle Breath Pill is the essence and blood of a thousand-year-old black turtle. This thousand-year-old black turtle is a rare sea creature, and its essence and blood are extremely precious.

However, Jing Shui had already prepared three portions of essence blood, so Yang Zhengshan didn't need to worry about finding it.

What really troubled Yang Zhengshan was that during the process of refining the Turtle Breath Pill, he had to ensure that the essence and blood of the thousand-year-old Xuan Turtle were not lost, and that it was perfectly integrated with many medicinal herbs.

This process not only requires special techniques, but also requires Yang Zhengshan to have meticulous control over the alchemy furnace. If there is even the slightest oversight, the entire batch of Turtle Breath Pills will be ruined.

The key issue is that there are only three portions of medicinal herbs, so Yang Zhengshan dared not try it lightly and could only ponder it slowly.

Time passed day by day, and Yang Zhengshan spent his time cultivating and pondering the Turtle Breathing Pill until the people he sent to Wuzhen Dao Palace returned.

In the mountain courtyard, Yang Zhengshan met Xue Fuyang, who was heading to Wuzhen Dao Palace.

Xue Fuyang is Xue Ping's son. He is over sixty years old and used to work in the government office on Shenmu Island. He recently broke through to the Earthly Fiend stage and became a three-gate steward of Yuheng Tower, specifically responsible for liaison with the Da'an Dynasty.

"How is the situation at Wuzhen Dao Palace?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Xue Fuyang replied, "Since the departure of Xuanzhen Daoist, Wuzhen Dao Palace has declined considerably in recent years, and has not cultivated any innate martial artists in the palace."

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, not surprised by this.

In the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty, innate martial artists are as common as cabbages. In the martial arts market, there's a 50% chance of hitting an innate martial artist if you just throw a piece of food at them.

However, in the Great An Dynasty, innate martial artists are still a minority. The Great An is much stronger than the Great Rong of the past, but the number of innate martial artists in the Great An still does not reach three digits.

"Does Wuzhen Dao Palace have any promising talents?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"Currently, Wuzhen Dao Palace has two half-step Xiantian martial artists. I have left them enough pills to ensure they can break through to the Xiantian realm! However, they are over sixty years old and their aptitude is not outstanding!"

"Are there any people who cultivate the 'Soaring Myriad Phenomena Technique'?"

"no!"

"I know, go ahead and get busy!"

Clearly, Wuzhen Dao Palace does not have a second Xuanzhen Daoist. This makes sense, as spiritual apertures are extremely rare. Even if Wuzhen Dao Palace had immortal cultivation techniques, what difference would it make?

Without access to spiritual energy, cultivation techniques are nothing but worthless paper.

Xuanzhen's ability to join the Wuzhen Dao Palace, cultivate the "Soaring Myriad Phenomena Method," and eventually become a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Lingxiu Sea demonstrates that he is a person with profound good fortune.

There's nothing that can be done about Wuzhen Dao Palace not having a spiritual aperture; Yang Zhengshan can't very well find one for him.

Let Xuanzhen worry about this himself after he's freed from Mo Xuanyu's control.

Yang Zhengshan quickly put the matter out of his mind and continued his cultivation.

……

Seven years later.

The year 63 of Lingyuan, at the beginning of the year. In the study at Lingquan Mountain Plain.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the annual report delivered by Ziwei Tower.

If you calculate the time, thirty-five years have passed since the large-scale migration of people to the Land of Spiritual Origin began.

Thirty-five years is equivalent to two more generations.

The population of the Spirit Origin Land has officially exceeded 200,000, with over 80,000 being innate martial artists alone.

Starting this year, children born in the Land of Spiritual Origin will also reach the Innate Realm in terms of cultivation.

This means that in the coming years, a large number of young innate martial artists will emerge in the Spirit Source Land.

They were born in the land of spiritual origins, grew up there eating spiritual fruits and drinking spiritual spring water, and their aptitude and potential far surpassed that of their parents.

Looking at the figures in the annual report, Yang Zhengshan smiled with satisfaction.

Currently, the Spirit Origin Land has a total of 83,241 innate martial artists, of which more than 23,200 have reached the Earthly Fiend stage and 3,462 have reached the Heavenly Gang stage.

If we only consider the innate martial artists, the Spirit Source Land is enough to crush the three Lingxiu sects, but it is not enough to crush the Lingxiu Sea.

There are currently six Golden Body Realm martial artists in the Spirit Source Land: Yu Qingyi, An Yuxing, Liang Shengze, Qu Changkong, Ding Qiu, and Yang Mingcheng.

Just last year, Yang Mingcheng went into seclusion for four years, successfully forging his spiritual foundation, shaping his golden body, and entering the Golden Body Realm.

In addition, eight other people are currently in seclusion to break through their limits: Yang Minghao, Yang Mingwu, Yang Chengze, Song Dashan, Yang Mingzhen, Wu Zheng, and Wu Zhan.

These eight individuals all possess profound knowledge and are over a hundred years old, making it the perfect time for them to break through. Yang Zhengshan believes that the chances of them failing to break through are not very high.

As the number of Golden Body Realm warriors in the Spirit Source Land increases, the experience regarding breaking through to the Golden Body Realm also becomes richer. With each additional Golden Body Realm warrior who successfully breaks through, there is one more summary of experience in the breakthrough.

By now, the Land of Spirit Source has accumulated rich experience in forging spiritual foundations and shaping golden bodies.

With the addition of high-quality spiritual items, ample elixirs, and various other spiritual items that aid in breakthroughs, the process is no longer as dangerous as before.

Zhou Tianci's breakthrough was out of necessity, and Liang Shengze's breakthrough also had its reasons, but the main reason was insufficient preparation.

After all, the Land of Spiritual Origin didn't have much experience for him to draw upon at that time.

But things are different now. The Land of Spiritual Origin has enough experience and resources to provide for those who need to break through.

Therefore, breakthroughs by Yang Minghao, Yang Mingwu, and others will be safer.

The eight of them are currently in seclusion, preparing for their breakthroughs, while many more are also working towards theirs.

Such as Yang Mingzhi, Yang Chengxu, Yang Chengche, Yang Qinwu, Luo Jingsong, Luo Feiyu, Yu Tonghai, Wang Lei, Li Chang, etc.

Looking at the number of people planning to go into seclusion this year, Yang Zhengshan looked dazed.

At this rate, in the next ten years, the Spirit Source Land will likely see a surge of Golden Body Realm martial artists.

I just wonder how many people will fail in their attempts to break through!

Even with the most thorough preparation, there are still dangers in forging a spirit foundation and creating a golden body.

And if the breakthrough fails, it is almost equivalent to death.

Yang Zhengshan truly didn't want to see these familiar and close people die because of a failed breakthrough.

But he couldn't dissuade them from doing this; he could only support them.

Just as Yang Zhengshan was worrying, two pretty young girls arrived at the door of the study.

"Master!" Li Jianing called out, craning her little head into the study.

Seven years have passed, and Li Jianing and Li Jianan have grown into graceful young women.

The two girls wore pale yellow Confucian robes and long skirts, their hair tied in double buns, and their faces still had a touch of baby fat, but they also had the beauty and vitality of young girls.

"Okay, come in!" Yang Zhengshan put away the annual report and smiled.

Li Jianning pulled Li Jianan and ran into the study. "Master, do you see any difference between us?"

Yang Zhengshan looked them up and down, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Hmm, you're even prettier today than yesterday!"

Li Jianing was taken aback, then her cheeks flushed slightly. "Master is making fun of me again!"

"Isn't that right?" Yang Zhengshan teased her with a smile.

"Hmph, Master, we've broken through!" Li Jianning revealed a charmingly naive look, while Li Jianan smiled gently, appearing serene and content.

Although the two still look exactly alike, their temperament has changed significantly.

Li Jianing has become even more lively than before, and she still asks just as many questions, sometimes leaving Yang Zhengshan speechless.

Li Jian'an became even quieter, her brows relaxed like an undisturbed orchid in the deep mountains, exuding a serene tranquility that "does not cease to bloom even when no one is there to appreciate it."

"Haha, Master has already figured it out!" Yang Zhengshan laughed loudly.

He knew his two disciples' cultivation levels perfectly well. Even before they entered the door, he had already discovered that these two little girls had reached the third level of Qi Refining.

And it seems they broke through at the same time.

"Master, is there a reward?" Li Jianing looked at Yang Zhengshan with anticipation, while Li Jianan gazed at Yang Zhengshan with eyes as clear as glass, as if washed by morning dew.

“Yes, your master’s wife has already prepared it for you!” Yang Zhengshan said.

"Ah, Master's wife prepared this? We want Master's reward!" Li Jianning said with some disappointment.

Yang Zhengshan was momentarily speechless. He wouldn't care about such trivial matters. So what if he broke through? It was something he expected, and he had never prepared any reward for it.

Yu Qingyi, on the other hand, often helped the children sew clothes and prepare jewelry.

Even the magical artifacts they used were made by their senior brothers and sisters, while his master at most gave them some pills and the like.

He thought for a moment, then reached out and took two jade slips. "Fine, since you want a reward, then your master will give you one!"

"You can use this for cultivation!"

Li Jianing took the jade slip and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"The Heart Sword Scripture and the Pure Heart Hand!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.
