Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

”As for magical treasures, the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower and the Divine Wood Treasure Cauldron are sufficient; there’s no need to keep the others, especially since I also have the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace!”

Yang Zhenshan thought for a moment and simply took out the Soul Vibrating Bell and the Soul-breaking Cone, erasing the Divine Soul Marks from them.

With the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower, the use of the Soul Vibrating Bell and Soul-breaking Cone was not significant anymore.

In fact, he also had talismans available, but he seemed to have never used talismans in battle because he had not focused on using talismans to ward off enemies, only using the drawing of talismans to cultivate energy and concentrate the mind.

Using talismans in combat also required the aid of some mystical arts and techniques. Although these mystical arts and techniques were simple, using talismans marvelously also required a lot of time and effort.

After organizing his future cultivation plan, Yang Zhenshan then stood up and left the Quiet Chamber.

He wanted to test whether he could use the Withered and Flourishing Divine Power to increase his lifespan.

Upon arriving at the Spirit Fruit Garden on the west side of the mountain platform, he happened to see Yu Qingyi practicing magical techniques.

Indeed, Yu Qingyi was practicing magical techniques, specifically the Vine Skill.

Golden Body Realm Martial Artists possess mana. The stronger the Divine Soul, the more mana they have. However, compared to Immortal Cultivators, Golden Body Realm Martial Artists have a much lower mana condensation efficiency, and mana recovery is extremely slow. Hence, most Golden Body Realm Martial Artists waste time on mana.

They would rather spend their efforts to enhance their power because only when their Divine Soul Power is strong enough do they have a chance to progress further.

Yu Qingyi multitasked, controlling two vine skills to advance left and right, sometimes intertwining, sometimes coiling, sometimes shooting straight into the sky, and other times burrowing underground to traverse.

Yang Zhenshan did not step forward to disturb but merely stood quietly on the side watching.

In his eyes, Yu Qingyi’s control over the vines was undoubtedly immature.

But for a Golden Body Realm Martial Artist, this was already quite commendable.

However, at this moment, Yang Zhenshan’s focus was not on the vine in Yu Qingyi’s hand but on the aura emanating from Yu Qingyi.

Yu Qingyi had entered the Golden Body Realm for over thirty years, and her cultivation had been steadily advancing. It seemed gradual and unhurried, but in fact, Yu Qingyi’s cultivation had advanced very rapidly.

In just thirty years, Yu Qingyi had already reached the mid-stage of the Golden Body Realm and may soon further advance to the late stage of the Golden Body Realm.

Her cultivation was secondary; what truly surprised Yang Zhenshan was the vigorous vitality he sensed from Yu Qingyi.

It was as if standing there was not a person, but a thriving, lush tree.

”A tree!”

Yang Zhenshan’s heart moved, and a faint Dao Rhyme spread from his eyes, instantly rendering everything before him differently.

Between heaven and earth, it seemed only green and gray existed; this was the demarcation of life and death.

The vegetation was lush green, the mountains and rocks were dull gray, the withered branches and fallen leaves turned from green to gray, finally buried in the earth, becoming gray like the soil.

The animals were in a mix of green and gray; young animals were predominantly green, while old animals were enveloped in gray, their green like a flickering candle in the wind.

As for Yu Qingyi, she was surrounded by a glowing green light, with the gray halo almost negligible.

”A lifespan of three hundred and twenty-eight years!”

Yang Zhenshan looked at Yu Qingyi dumbfounded.

Yu Qingyi’s lifespan was actually longer than his!

Why was this?

He was full of questions.

”What is it? Is there something wrong with me?” Yu Qingyi retracted her magical techniques, seeing Yang Zhenshan staring at her intently, and asked in confusion.

Yang Zhenshan rubbed his beard and began to inspect Yu Qingyi closely, from top to bottom.

”How can this be?”

Yu Qingyi was puzzled by his behavior, ”Is there something wrong with me?”

She also looked down at her body but found nothing unusual!

Yang Zhenshan grabbed her wrist, ”Let me take a look at you!”

His Spiritual Sense penetrated Yu Qingyi’s body, examining her five viscera and six organs, her Dantian Qi Sea, and Yu Qingyi did not resist, letting him scrutinize her inside and out thoroughly.

Eventually, Yang Zhenshan retracted his Spiritual Sense, his eyes gleaming brightly.

”What are you doing?” Yu Qingyi was all confused by him.

Yang Zhenshan wrapped his arm around her waist and smiled, ”Madam, you truly are a prodigy!”

”What do you mean?” Yu Qingyi was even more perplexed.

Was she a genius?

She supposed she was.

To cultivate to the Golden Body Realm, wasn’t everyone a genius?

Without some talent, not to mention the Golden Body Realm, even the Innate was a hurdle.

Yang Zhenshan smiled and said, ”Haven’t you noticed that your vitality is stronger than others?”

”Vitality!” Yu Qingyi pondered, ”Isn’t this the feature of the Green Wood Longevity Skill?”

”Well, that’s also true.” Yang Zhenshan nodded.

The vitality contained within Yu Qingyi was very potent, likely far exceeding what he had before obtaining the Divine Wood Treasure Cauldron.

The reason for this, firstly, was the characteristic of the Green Wood Longevity Skill. The Green Wood Longevity Skill stems from the Qingmu Longevity Scripture, and the core of both is essentially the same, but the Green Wood Longevity Skill simplifies the step of converting spiritual aperture into mana.

The features possessed by the Qingmu Longevity Scripture are also present in the Green Wood Longevity Skill.

As for the second reason, Yang Zhenshan speculated it might be Yu Qingyi’s comprehension; Yu Qingyi had grasped the Path of Life and Death earlier than he did.

Back when they were at Divine Wood Island, Yu Qingyi was able to cultivate plants using her True Qi without nature’s spiritual energy, making them grow quickly.

At that time, they thought it was the Dao Intent of the Innate Martial Artists, but later, after arriving at the Sea of Spirit, they concluded it was the characteristic of the Wood Attribute.
