Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 811: Chapter 609: Tiaoist Intent Sacred Lotus, Martial God Temple

At night, Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi stayed inside the Spiritual Spring Space.

The weather inside the Spiritual Spring Space was the same as the outside world, though Yang Zhenshan wasn’t entirely clear on the specifics. If it rained outside, it would rain inside the space as well; if the outside sky was perfectly clear, the space would be as well.

Meanwhile, the temperature inside the Spiritual Spring Space showed fluctuations, yet the changes were not prominent, and were not connected to the outside world.

This created differences between the inside of the Spiritual Spring Space and the outside world.

In the Snowy Plain, while the outside world was frozen over, the space inside was as warm as spring; while the mountains outside were sealed in snow, the space inside saw a gentle drizzle.

The weather inside the Spiritual Spring Space was peculiar, following the outside changes but also differing from them.

It felt as if there was a weather regulator inside the space, maintaining an ever-favorable condition.

In the small courtyard within the space, Yang Zhenshan took a lotus seed and handed it to Yu Qingyi.

”Cultivate!”

This lotus seed came from those unnamed lotuses.

The petals of the lotus had effects to enhance comprehension of Tiaoist Intent, and the lotus seeds had even stronger effects than the petals.

Therefore, Yang Zhenshan named it the Tiaoist Intent Sacred Lotus.

Well, a rather cliché name, but that’s what Yang Zhenshan went with.

Each of the twelve Tiaoist Intent Sacred Lotuses only bloomed one flower, producing one lotus pod, with the petals being less effective, but the lotus seeds were very potent, capable of putting someone into a state similar to enlightenment.

However, Yang Zhenshan found out the effect of taking lotus seeds consecutively within a short time would diminish. After experiments, taking one lotus seed every three months was optimal.

One lotus pod had twenty-four lotus seeds, and twelve pods had two hundred eighty-eight lotus seeds, which were more than enough for Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi to use for a long time.

The two consumed the lotus seeds and closed their eyes to cultivate in the courtyard, but after only two moments, they awoke.

The enlightenment state brought by the lotus seeds only lasted this long, yet the insights gained in this short time equaled years of effort.

The Thunder Dao Intent that Yang Zhenshan grasped advanced rapidly, and it was all because of these lotus seeds.

After cultivation, Yu Qingyi waved her hand, and a streak of vibrant green energy shot out, landing on the ground nearby.

”Look at my True Qi, it seems to have some changes!” Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhenshan looked at the energy in her hand and asked, ”What changes are there?”

Although both practiced the Yimu Chang Chun Skill, evidently the Mystical Mechanism they comprehended was different.

Yu Qingyi’s eyes sparkled, and the True Qi in her palm began to transform, with a green vine rapidly growing, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a grapevine, even climbing up the roof.

Yang Zhenshan was stunned by this sight.

He reached out to touch the grapevine, ”It actually seems real?”

”It’s not the same!” Yu Qingyi said.

She hesitated for a moment and withdrew her True Qi, and the grapevine began to shrink back, as if it were reverse growing.

Yang Zhenshan watched in a daze; this strange ability was quite beyond his expectation.

However, what Yu Qingyi demonstrated next amazed him even more.

Yu Qingyi reached out to a nearby Cloud Berry, and the Cloud Berry began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yet in just a moment, Yu Qingyi gave up, ”No good, it consumes too much True Qi!”

Yang Zhenshan looked at that Cloud Berry.

Cloud Berry Fruit, one of the four Spirit Fruits he obtained from the Snow Spirit Palace, this type of Spirit Fruit didn’t grow on trees but was an herbaceous Spirit Plant, fruiting only once every three years.

This Spirit Plant could be cultivated, but likely had stringent environmental requirements, which was probably why Granny Xue was generous enough to give Yang Zhenshan over a hundred Cloud Berry Fruits.

At present, the Cloud Berry Yu Qingyi just touched was clearly taller than the surrounding ones.

Accelerate plant growth?

Yang Zhenshan found such ability unbelievable, though considering he could command Thunder, it didn’t seem so miraculous.

”You must have comprehended some Tiaoist Intent!”

”Really! But why haven’t I noticed any Tiaoist Intent?” Yu Qingyi was somewhat doubtful.

Yang Zhenshan chuckled, ”Tiaoist Intent is indeed profound, sometimes even hard for you to detect.”

”When I first realized Tiaoist Intent, I was muddled and confused, and it took two or three years to confirm that I was able to wield it.”

”Your Tiaoist Intent must be related to plants, such as transforming them, hastening their growth, or perhaps other abilities, it’s something you need to research by yourself!”

Yu Qingyi pondered, then grabbed a weed.

The weed was much simpler; with just a thought, it began to grow rapidly, flowered, bore fruit, and finally withered.

”This ability is interesting, but it seems useless!”

Yang Zhenshan shook his head slightly, ”Accelerating plant growth is quite useful, in the future, we can obtain more Treasure Medicine and Spirit Fruits!”

”As for combat, you can transform vines to trap the enemy!”

Yu Qingyi nodded happily upon hearing this, ”You’re right!”

Afterward, she began to experiment with her ability, and many plants in the space suffered under her touch—no, it wasn’t a harmful touch; it was a loving caress, accelerating the plants’ growth.

Through her experiments, she found her ability had remarkable effects on normal plants, requiring very little True Qi to hasten their growth. She even managed to accelerate a sycamore from one zhang high to three zhang high in just a quarter of an hour.
