Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 856 The Yang Family, They Are Truly Mysterious
Xuanqing Sect, Youhuang Peak.

Inside the bamboo building, a maidservant approached the door of the quiet room and said softly, "Elder, Madam Yang has come to see you!"

The room remained quiet, and the maid waited patiently outside the door.

After a long silence, Chu Lingxiao's metallic voice echoed from the quiet room, "Madam Yang? Which Yang family?"

"The Yang family, one of the twelve families, sent a person who identified herself as the matriarch of the Yang family. She is currently waiting for the elder's reply in the reception hall of Qingyu City!" the maid replied.

The door to the quiet room creaked open, and Chu Lingxiao walked out dressed in a neat blue outfit.

"The matriarch of the Yang family? Yang Zhengshan's wife?"

"This servant does not know!" the maid replied.

Chu Lingxiao looked thoughtful.

She was actually quite curious about the Yang family.

The Yang family has been quite active in recent years, selling a large amount of resources and goods through the Illusion Moon Sect. This is definitely not the behavior of a small family.

Even a prestigious family could not achieve this.

According to the information she received from the Illusion Moon Sect, there seemed to be other forces behind the Yang family. The reason why the Illusion Moon Sect was willing to help the Yang family win the title of a prestigious family was because of the forces behind the Yang family.

However, Chu Lingxiao was unsure of the specific faction involved. The Illusion Moon Sect kept this matter extremely secret, and even their Xuanqing Sect could not obtain any information about it from them.

"Please come and meet me!"

"Yes!"

After the maid left, about half an hour later, the maid led Yu Qingyi to the bamboo building.

The bamboo house is located deep in the bamboo forest, making it exceptionally quiet and secluded, with a faint fragrance of bamboo leaves permeating the air.

When Yu Qingyi arrived at the bamboo house, Chu Lingxiao was already sitting on the upstairs platform, having prepared tea.

Chu Lingxiao was slightly taken aback when he saw Yu Qingyi. Yu Qingyi's face looked so young. Her oval face was as delicate as white jade, her bright eyes shone like stars, and her long hair flowed like clouds.

A pair of soft, boneless, and delicate hands, more beautiful than spring onions, with pure white snow silk satin sleeves covering the back of the hands, but even whiter and more tender than snow silk.

Is this the matriarch of the Yang family?

She looks more like a young girl in her late teens.

However, Chu Lingxiao quickly realized that the person in front of her was not a young girl, because she could see that Yu Qingyi had the cultivation level of the Golden Body Realm.

"Greetings, Elder Chu. Please forgive my abrupt arrival!" Yu Qingyi's beautiful face was even more lovely than spring flowers.

Chu Lingxiao stood up and returned the greeting, saying, "Please sit down, Madam!"

Yu Qingyi sat gracefully beside Chu Lingxiao. Every move she made exuded an air of noble elegance, not the otherworldly grace of a fairy descended to earth, but rather an indescribable nobility that seemed to transcend all.

The Yu Qingyi of today is no longer the woman of the martial arts world she once was. She usually appears simple and unpretentious, but when it's time to display her elegance, she can do so with ease.

"Sister Chu, this place is so peaceful!" Yu Qingyi said with a smile, looking at the quaint bamboo house.

"Hehe, I just wanted some peace and quiet!" Chu Lingxiao chuckled, then changed the subject, saying, "I didn't know that Master Yang actually had a wife!"

“That’s normal, because this is my first time showing up in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty!” Yu Qingyi said.

"Oh, it seems the rumors are true!"

"What rumors?"

"Rumor has it that the Yang family has a powerful force behind them?"

Yu Qingyi picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and did not answer.

This matter involves the Spirit Source Land, so she couldn't say too much.

But her silence was interpreted by Chu Lingxiao as tacit agreement.

Chu Lingxiao hesitated for a moment before asking, "May I ask what brings you here today, Madam?"

"It's for Qinting and Qianqian's marriage!" Yu Qingyi raised her head, a gentle smile on her face. "Qinting is my great-grandson. It's rare for him to have a woman he likes, so as his great-grandmother, I naturally hope that he can be happily married to his love!"

Chu Lingxiao had already guessed Yu Qingyi's intentions. "This matter puts me in a difficult position!"

"Difficult to do?" Yu Qingyi's eyebrows curved into a smile. "I know what Elder Chu wants. He simply wants the support of the Wang family so that he can obtain the resources from the Xuanqing Sect to break through to the Divine Soul Realm!"

"In fact, Elder Chu doesn't need to place all his hopes on the Xuanqing Sect. My Yang family can also provide Elder Chu with sufficient resources!"

The key to breaking through to the Divine Soul Realm is to strengthen the Divine Soul. The so-called breakthrough to the Divine Soul Realm is the process of condensing the Divine Soul and opening up the spiritual apertures.

There is a huge gap between the Innate Realm and Golden Body Realm of martial artists and the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage of immortal cultivators. The difference between the two comes from the soul.

For martial artists, reaching the Divine Soul Realm is the stage where they bridge this gap.

Of course, no matter how much one tries to improve, a martial artist is still far inferior to a cultivator in terms of spiritual power.

The gap between a Divine Soul Realm martial artist and a Golden Core cultivator remains as vast as the heavens. However, through cultivating the Divine Soul, a Divine Soul Realm martial artist can surpass a Foundation Establishment cultivator in terms of Divine Soul, which is why the strength of a Divine Soul Realm martial artist far exceeds that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

If the gap in spiritual energy cannot be bridged, then a martial artist at the Divine Soul Realm will appear very vulnerable in front of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Someone like Yang Zhengshan, who specializes in spiritual and soul techniques, can easily annihilate martial artists whose spiritual and soul abilities are weaker than his.

The resources needed to break through to the Divine Soul Realm are nothing more than pills and rare and precious herbs that enhance the strength of the Divine Soul.

Yang Zhengshan is capable of refining the Illusion God Pill. As long as he spends some time and effort collecting the medicinal materials needed for the Illusion God Pill, he can refine the Illusion God Pill continuously.

The fact that Yueming values ​​the Illusionary God Pill shows just how attractive it is to Golden Body Realm martial artists.

Since Chu Lingxiao hopes to exchange Li Qianqian's marriage for benefits, then Yu Qingyi will exchange benefits for Li Qianqian.

"How much is your Yang family willing to pay just for a little girl like Qianqian?"

"Hehe, enough resources for you to advance to the Divine Soul Realm!" Yu Qingyi chuckled.

She wasn't bragging; she was telling the truth.

The Spirit Source Land currently offers some resources to Golden Body Realm warriors, such as Illusion God Pills, Spirit Gathering Pills, lotus seeds of the Dao Intent Sacred Lotus, and Pure Spirit Water, a mixture of rare water and spring water.

These resources are actually not enough, far from sufficient for a Golden Body Realm cultivator to advance to the Divine Soul Realm, because it lacks one of the most important resources: the Soul Resurrection Pill.

The Rejuvenation Pill has nine cycles. The first cycle of the Rejuvenation Pill has the effect of restoring the soul, which can be simply understood as greatly enhancing the cultivator's soul. The ninth cycle of the Rejuvenation Pill has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. As long as the physical body is not destroyed and the soul is not destroyed, the ninth cycle of the Rejuvenation Pill can bring the dead back to life.

Even if the soul leaves the body and enters the Netherworld, the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill can pull the soul back from the Netherworld.

Of course, the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill is a legendary elixir. When advancing from the Golden Body Realm to the Divine Soul Realm, the success rate can be increased by 30% with the aid of the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill.

Therefore, the Rejuvenation Pill became an essential pill for Golden Body Realm warriors to advance to Divine Soul Realm, just as Immortal Cultivators need Foundation Establishment Pills to establish their foundation.

For immortal cultivators, the Rejuvenation Pill is an extremely precious elixir, and it can also be considered one of the essential elixirs for condensing the Golden Core.

If you want to ensure that a Golden Body Realm martial artist can advance to the Divine Soul Realm, then a First-Turn Rejuvenation Pill is indispensable.

There are naturally no Resurrection Pills in the Spirit Source Land right now, but that doesn't matter, because Yang Zhengshan will get the Resurrection Pill formula sooner or later and refine the Resurrection Pill.

The Rejuvenation Pill is crucial to whether Yang Zhengshan can condense his Golden Core, and to whether the people of the Spirit Source Land have a chance to break through to the Divine Soul Realm.

Even without Chu Lingxiao, Yang Zhengshan would have tried every means to obtain the recipe for the Rejuvenation Pill.

Once Yang Zhengshan obtains the pill formula and is able to refine the Soul-Returning Pill, giving one to Chu Lingxiao would be insignificant. Chu Lingxiao isn't about to advance to the Divine Soul Realm right now; it will take her at least several decades, or even a hundred years, to do so.

"Is it worth it for this little girl, Qianqian?" Chu Lingxiao said in a low voice.

It wasn't that she was belittling Li Qianqian, but was Li Qianqian worth such a high price from the Yang family?
No matter how good Li Qianqian is, she is still just a Xiantian martial artist. There are plenty of Xiantian martial artists like Li Qianqian in the Lingxiu Sea.

As for beauty, in the face of power, beauty is merely an ornament.

The place with the most beautiful women is not a martial arts family or a sect, but a brothel.

Yu Qingyi picked up her tea and calmly sipped it. "It's certainly not worth it for a little girl, but if it's for my great-grandson's favorite, then it is worth it."

This is a favoritism. In the end, among the four Yang brothers, only Yang Mingzhao is Yu Qingyi's biological son. Yang Mingzhao only has one son, Yang Cheng'an, and only two grandsons, Yang Qinting and Yang Qinyu.

Normally, she wouldn't show any favoritism, but when something really happens, she would definitely side with Yang Mingzhao's faction; that's only human nature.

Gazing at the composed and elegant Yu Qingyi, Chu Lingxiao suddenly felt a sense of pressure.

This pressure doesn't come from strength, but from emotion—the paternal love of an elder for a younger generation.

This paternal love made her feel ashamed of herself.

With such a beautiful jade before me, I feel ashamed of my own appearance.

She didn't have this kind of feeling for the younger generation, nor did the entire Li family.

Compared to the Yang family, the Li family is more like a community of shared interests, and the so-called kinship only exists among a small number of people.

Under this pressure, Chu Lingxiao suddenly felt a rebellious emotion.

"What if I don't agree?"

"Well, that doesn't matter."

"Why don't you care anymore?"

"I'm just asking. If you agree, everything is fine. But if you don't agree, then it'll be my husband's turn to have a headache!"

Yu Qingyi laughed and said, "I bet he'll sneak the person away!"

"Take it away secretly?" Chu Lingxiao was taken aback.

Is this something I can take away secretly?

Was that a person?

Putting aside the Yang family's secret takeaway of Li Qianqian and how the Li family will react, let's just talk about how the Xuanqing Sect will react.

How could a living person be taken away from their own sect?

Does the Xuanqing Sect still have any face left?
Is the protective array of the Xuanqing Sect just a facade?

Could such a large sect as the Xuanqing Sect tolerate this happening?

Chu Lingxiao was stunned for a long time before saying, "I need to consider this matter further!"

“Very well, I will stay in Qingyu City and wait for Elder Chu’s news. Whether it works out or not, please send me a message, Elder Chu!” Yu Qingyi stood up and took her leave.

Chu Lingxiao watched her walk along the bluestone path into the bamboo forest.

Just after Yu Qingyi left, a figure suddenly appeared beside Chu Lingxiao.

"The Yang family is truly mysterious!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Chu Lingxiao was startled and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Grandmaster!"

The person who came was none other than Lin Daoyuan.

Lin Daoyuan waved his hand, gazing thoughtfully at the spot where Yu Qingyi had disappeared.

"She cultivates the Green Wood Longevity Technique, which isn't considered a special technique, but she actually mastered the Wood Transformation Body Nourishing Method! And judging from the looks of it, her Wood Transformation Body Nourishing Method has reached an extremely profound level!"

Chu Lingxiao was slightly taken aback, "The Wood Transformation Body Cultivation Technique?"

The Wood Transformation Cultivation Method is not considered a precious technique in the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty. The fact that the Sun family can sell it in the market shows that this technique is not valued by the Three Sects and Twelve Families.

Chu Lingxiao was unaware of the special features of the "Wood Transformation Body Cultivation Method" and asked with some doubt, "Soldier, what's so special about the Wood Transformation Body Cultivation Method?"

Lin Daoyuan's eyes were like swords as he said calmly, "To cultivate the Wood Transformation Body Cultivation Technique to its peak, one needs to consume a large number of wood-attribute spiritual fruits of the same origin. If they are first-grade spiritual fruits, it would take about 108,000!"

"Can our Xuanqing Sect provide 108,000 spiritual fruits of the same origin?"

"Same roots and origins" means that the same kind of spiritual fruit must be planted in the same region, and there must be no difference in variety or growing environment.

This means that a large, stable spiritual field is needed, along with at least several hundred identical spiritual fruit trees, and only through long-term, meticulous care can 108,000 spiritual fruits of the same origin be gathered within a few decades.

Xuanqing Sect has stable spiritual fields and hundreds of spiritual fruit trees, but Xuanqing Sect will not spend so much manpower and resources to help one person cultivate the Wood Transformation Body Nourishing Method, because it is not worth it.

With so many spirit fields, why not plant more different kinds of spirit fruits and herbs?

After figuring this out, Chu Lingxiao couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.

To cultivate a single technique, they were willing to waste vast tracts of spiritual fields and a large number of manpower. Even the Xuanqing Sect was not so extravagant.

Actually, they made a mistake. What they considered a waste was quite normal in the Land of Spiritual Origin.

Because there were relatively few varieties of spirit fruit trees in the Spirit Source Land at that time, as long as there were spirit fruit trees that could be propagated on a large scale, the Spirit Planting Department would plant them in large quantities.

In other places, it is very troublesome to plant spiritual fruit trees of the same origin, but in the land of spiritual origin, it is very simple.

In just a few decades, a large area of ​​spiritual fruit trees of the same origin can be planted.

Now, the Spirit Source Land is covered with spirit fruit trees everywhere; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as covering the entire mountainside.

Varieties like Jade Spirit Peach, Three Yellow Plum, Jade Dew Spirit Peach, Ice Heart Fruit, Wind Spirit Fruit, and Nether Light Fruit all come from mountains and valleys.

Of course, the Spirit Source Land also has rare spiritual fruits, such as the Azure Profound Fruit. Twelve Azure Profound Fruit trees were transplanted from the ruins, and these twelve trees have only just recovered.

Let alone large-scale cultivation, even just waiting for them to bear fruit would take another twenty or thirty years.

Second-tier spirit fruit trees are completely different from first-tier spirit fruit trees. Even if a first-tier spirit fruit tree grows slowly, it will only take ten or twenty years, but a spirit fruit tree of second tier or higher will take more than a hundred years.

Even if transplanted from other places to the Spirit Source Land, it will take more than ten years to regain its vitality.

"Grandmaster, should I agree to this?" Chu Lingxiao asked in a low voice.

In fact, she already had the intention to agree.

Even without the Wang family's support, she could still obtain some resources within the Xuanqing Sect, though perhaps fewer, and the Wang family might cause her some trouble.

Outside of the Xuanqing Sect, it was extremely difficult for her to obtain any resources. Although the Lingxiu Sea was rich in resources, very few of them were suitable for advancing to the Divine Soul Realm.

The reason why the three major sects can cultivate martial artists at the Divine Soul Realm is that they obtain resources from other places, not from the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty or the ancient remnant array.

Lin Daoyuan turned and left, saying, "You can decide this matter yourself. I'm going to the Illusion Moon Sect!"

He didn't care about the marriages of the two younger generations. As for Chu Lingxiao's choice, that was Chu Lingxiao's own business.

He was simply interested in the mystery surrounding the Yang family, so he planned to go to the Illusion Moon Sect to inquire.
