Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1253: Chapter 820: Yunxiao Mountain Range Power Distribution (2)

”Hmm, it’s impossible to avoid risk now. If I keep hesitating like this, I’ll only miss this opportunity!”

Yang Zhenshan naturally understood that getting involved in the internal conflicts between the Three Sects was extremely dangerous, but he had no choice but to take some risks.

If it were before, Yang Zhenshan would definitely not provoke the Three Sects, but now he had some confidence.

Now, he was a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and Yu Qingyi was a powerful Martial God Realm warrior, along with the Green Wolf King, a Martial God Level mutant beast.

This kind of power could not compete with the Three Sects, but it gave him the confidence to face them.

As for the Qingli Dynasty, Yang Zhenshan would not give up.

The Sea of Spirit was the territory of martial artists, while the Qingli Dynasty was the territory of immortal cultivators; both could serve as places to acquire resources from the Spirit Source Land.

Moreover, Yang Zhenshan needed to delve deeper into the world of immortal cultivators, and the Qingli Dynasty and Lotus Heart Valley could serve as his bridge into that realm.

...

Lingxi Mountain.

It was late at night.

Li Chang was preparing to rest when suddenly the soul crow, which had been staying in his room, turned its head.

”Going to sleep?”

Yang Zhenshan’s voice suddenly appeared, making Li Chang shiver all over, ”Goodness, Family Head, you scared me to death!”

”Haha, I didn’t mean to scare you!” Yang Zhenshan said with a laugh.

Li Chang patted his startled heart and came over to the soul crow, looking at it curiously.

When Yang Zhenshan left, he entrusted this soul crow to Li Chang, saying he would contact him through the crow if anything happened.

Usually, the soul crow would sit in his room like a sculpture, neither eating nor drinking or moving, but now it suddenly started acting up.

”It’s truly amazing. Family Head, this thing can actually carry your consciousness?” Li Chang poked the soul crow with his hand.

Yang Zhenshan was speechless for a moment.

”The distance is too far, soul power consumption is too high, less nonsense. During this period, have the Secret Martial Guards keep an eye on the Lian family’s situation. If their patriarch dies, inform me immediately.”

”Uh, how do I notify the Family Head?” Li Chang asked.

”It’s simple, just crush the soul crow!” Yang Zhenshan replied.

Although the soul crow can record events around it, it can’t actively contact Yang Zhenshan. However, when it is crushed, Yang Zhenshan can sense it.

And after the soul crow is crushed, it can be recondensed, though its soul power will diminish a bit, and Yang Zhenshan simply needs to inject more soul power into it, without affecting the Divine Soul Seed within.

After finishing his explanation, Yang Zhenshan withdrew his consciousness. The distance between Lingxi Mountain and Lotus Heart Valley was at least more than three thousand miles, and such a long distance was a heavy burden on Yang Zhenshan’s divine soul.

Actually, doing this was not as good as Yang Zhenshan directly running from the Spirit Source Land, he just wanted to experiment a bit.

”Family Head, Family Head!”

Li Chang didn’t know Yang Zhenshan had already left and continued to call.

Seeing that there was no response for a long time, Li Chang poked the soul crow, and it fell directly onto the table, making Li Chang jump in surprise.

”Ah, forgive me, Family Head, I didn’t mean to!”

Li Chang hurriedly picked up the soul crow.

Actually, the soul crow could move autonomously as well; it could follow Yang Zhenshan’s orders to track directions.

However, this required Yang Zhenshan to inject soul power into it. Currently, his divine soul was still too weak, so once he withdrew consciousness, the soul crow became like a dead thing.

If Yang Zhenshan’s divine soul were strong enough, the soul crow could completely become like a real crow.

...

Yang Zhenshan planned to establish a foothold in the Sea of Spirit, but he did not rush to leave Lotus Heart Valley, as he wanted to attend the auction organized by White Cloud Commerce in the spring. So he and Yu Qingyi stayed on in Lotus Heart Valley.

As for getting an invitation to the auction, it was simple; just spend some spirit stones at the Feather Tower under White Cloud Commerce, and you could apply for an invitation card.

The Feather Tower sold spiritual pets and related goods, like Beast Blood Pills, Mixed Grain Pills, Spirit Beast Bags, Beast Taming Tokens, and so on.

Upon arriving at the Feather Tower, Yang Zhenshan listened to the clerk’s introduction, unable to resist a mental gripe, ”Immortal cultivators are really double standards. Mutant beasts willing to be driven are spirit beasts, unwilling ones are mutant beasts.”

”Sir, our Feather Tower has a total of sixteen types of spirit beasts for sale, including Golden Feathered Eagles, Green Feathered Magpies, White River Spirit Fish, Nine Patterned Mystic Turtles, Heavenly Turtle Beasts, Illusion Moon Foxes, Golden Fire Flood Dragons, Cloud Tiger Cubs, etc. We have both First-order and Second-Order, sir, feel free to choose.” The clerk said.

Yang Zhenshan raised his eyebrows, ”You have Golden Fire Flood Dragons too?”

”Of course, although the price of Golden Fire Flood Dragons is somewhat high, and we only have early-stage Second-Order ones, rest assured, our Golden Fire Flood Dragons nurtured by White Cloud Commerce have just reached adulthood, with pure bloodlines and great potential. Raised well, they could reach Third-order in the future,” the clerk enthusiastically explained.

Yang Zhenshan was full of surprise, he thought Golden Fire Flood Dragons were unique to the Xuanqing Sect, but the Feather Tower also had them for sale.

”What’s the price?” He was somewhat tempted.

”Seventy thousand spirit stones, and we gift a Beast Taming Token, a Spirit Beast Bag, ten bottles of Beast Blood Pills, and thirty bottles of Mixed Grain Pills to the guest. Would the guest like to purchase one?” The clerk looked at Yang Zhenshan with anticipation.

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard, ”Better not, can’t afford it!”

He was really tempted, but as a newcomer here, it wasn’t wise to flaunt his wealth. So after considering, he gave up and planned to come back later when he had the opportunity.

The clerk was a bit disappointed but still asked enthusiastically, ”Then, what kind of spirit beast would the guest like?”

”Hmm, what grade is this White River Spirit Fish?”

”White River Spirit Fish is a First-order low-grade mutant beast. Its meat is delicious and rich in spiritual energy, which is greatly beneficial to cultivation for late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators.” The clerk replied.

Yang Zhenshan suddenly realized, it wasn’t a spirit beast, but a food ingredient!

”What about Nine Patterned Mystic Turtle?”

”Nine Patterned Mystic Turtle is a tonic item, although it doesn’t benefit cultivation, it can repair hidden wounds and replenish Primordial Qi.”

”Do you have a price list? Let me see!” Yang Zhenshan thought the Feather Tower was somewhat unprofessional, as they didn’t even have a price list.

”Uh, sorry, sir, the price of spirit beasts depends on their grade, so every spirit beast has a different price, so we don’t have a definite price list here.” The clerk said somewhat sheepishly.

Yang Zhenshan had to ask one by one, ”How many spirit stones for a White River Spirit Fish?”

”We currently have eight White River Spirit Fish, priced between 80 to 100 spirit stones each!”

”Give me four!”

”Alright!”

”Wait, don’t rush, I want more! How many spirit stones for a Nine Patterned Mystic Turtle?”

”We currently have six Nine Patterned Mystic Turtles, priced between 40 to 60 spirit stones each.”

”Give me four too! And four Cloud Tiger Cubs, four Illusion Moon Foxes, four Heavenly Turtle Beasts, four Green Feathered Magpies, all First-order ones, can’t afford Second-Order!”

Yang Zhenshan ordered more than thirty spirit beasts in one go. If he weren’t afraid of drawing too much attention, he might even have bought two Golden Fire Flood Dragons.

As for why he bought so many spirit beasts, naturally, they were to be kept in the Spirit Source Land.

In the Feather Tower, First-order mutant beasts weren’t expensive, those with strong combat power cost one to two thousand spirit stones, those with special abilities depended on the usefulness of the ability, costing around a thousand spirit stones, while those with neither combat power nor special abilities and served only as food were only dozens of spirit stones.

Yang Zhenshan ordered more than thirty mutant beasts, spending less than twenty thousand spirit stones in total.

Soon, clerks from the Feather Tower placed a dozen or so spirit beast bags in front of Yang Zhenshan.

These spirit beast bags were also purchased by Yang Zhenshan. Their price was higher than storage bags, with a similar production principle, being a space compression array. However, they had an additional Elemental Spirit Array, allowing spirit beasts to stay inside for a short time.

Yang Zhenshan didn’t buy Beast Taming Tokens, as they were much more expensive than spirit beast bags. Beast Taming Tokens had Divine Soul Restrictions, allowing cultivators to forcibly control spirit beasts and make them dare not defy their master’s orders.

They were just some First-order mutant beasts, so Yang Zhenshan didn’t waste money on purchasing Beast Taming Tokens.

Besides spirit beasts, Yang Zhenshan also bought some Beast Blood Pills and Mixed Grain Pills.

Beast Blood Pills were elixirs to enhance mutant beasts’ power, while Mixed Grain Pills were similar to fasting pills and could fill the mutant beast’s belly. Actually, Mixed Grain Pills could also be used as fasting pills, and cultivators could eat them too.
