Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1131: Chapter 764: The Situation in Snow Valley Town

”However, according to the information we’ve gathered, disciples from Hidden Sword Mountain have appeared in Snow Valley Town before, and quite frequently!” Yang Chengxian continued.

”Oh!” Yang Zhenshan asked in surprise, ”How can you be sure they are disciples of Hidden Sword Mountain?”

Yang Chengxian said, ”Disciples from Hidden Sword Mountain have a characteristic; they carry two swords, one openly visible and the other hidden in a sword box. Wherever they go, they carry the sword box there.”

”The so-called hidden sword might be the one hidden in the sword box!”

Hidden Sword Mountain doesn’t refer to a mountain with many swords hidden, but rather the art of hiding swords.

Yang Zhenshan thought for a moment and said, ”They can’t completely isolate themselves; perhaps Snow Valley Town is their channel for acquiring outside resources.”

”We can’t gather information about them openly, but the Cold Cloud Sect should have some knowledge about them!”

Isolating oneself isn’t that easy.

This isn’t about one person hiding in the mountains but a sect, hundreds or even thousands of people hiding in the mountains.

Basic living needs are essential, as are the requirements for cultivation.

Relying on a few mountains alone can’t possibly meet the needs of hundreds or thousands of people.

Therefore, Hidden Sword Mountain must have channels to acquire resources from outside.

This channel shouldn’t be Sword Valley because Sword Valley isn’t around the Yunxiao Mountain Range.

It can’t be Cold Cloud Sect either, because Cold Cloud Sect can’t meet the cultivation needs of Hidden Sword Mountain.

It’s possible that it’s the Three Sects of Spirit Show or the families and Martial Arts Families around the Sea of Spirit.

”We currently have no way to gather this information!” Yang Chengxian said somewhat embarrassedly.

Yang Zhenshan waved his hand and laughed, ”No matter, we’re not here for Hidden Sword Mountain. It’s just that Grandpa is quite interested in them.”

”Let’s talk about Snow Valley Town, then. You’ve been to Snow Valley Town, right?”

Yang Chengxian said, ”I have been. I just went a few days ago and inquired a bit about renting a shop there. The shops in Snow Valley Town are all properties of the Cold Cloud Sect, but other than the three shops in prime locations, the rest are rented out!”

”However, the shops in slightly better locations have been rented by Martial Arts Families. If we want to rent a shop, we can only rent those in less favorable locations!”

This is quite normal, as shops in the Martial Cultivator workshops are scarce and generally won’t be vacant.

”Are there shops selling tobacco, wine, and tea in Snow Valley Town?” Yang Zhenshan asked.

”No tobacco, but there is wine and tea, and it’s Spiritual Wine and Spiritual Tea!” Yang Chengxian replied.

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard and pondered, ”Which family?”

”The Fan family and the Chen family! The Fan family has a wine shop and a restaurant in Snow Valley Town. Their Ice Soul Spirit Wine is incredibly famous throughout Cold Valley County, and reportedly, their Ice Soul Spirit Wine is sold in the workshops of the Sea of Spirit as well!”

”The Chen family has a type of Snow Green Tea that is said to grow atop the snowy mountains, possessing ice attribute spiritual power. It’s said to purify the heart spirit and has the effect of strengthening the foundation and nourishing the essence!”

”The Chen family has a teahouse in Snow Valley Town, not only providing tea but also selling Snow Green Tea. They also sell Spiritual Tea from the Sea of Spirit!”

Yang Chengxian elaborated.

”Spiritual Tea, Spiritual Wine, hehe, it seems our competitors are numerous. How does their Spiritual Tea compare to ours?” Yang Zhenshan asked.

”As for Spiritual Wine, the Fan family’s Ice Soul Spirit Wine is quite distinctive. Upon entry, it’s icy clean and cool, but upon entering the stomach, it turns hot. Compared to our Hundred Herbs Brew and Drunken Immortal Brew, each has its own characteristics!”

”And the Chen family’s Snow Green Tea is much better than Dongling Spring’s, but it doesn’t compare to Spiritual Dew Tea; its effect of strengthening the foundation and nourishing the essence is far inferior to Spiritual Dew Tea’s!”

Yang Chengxian stated with certainty.

The cultivation of tea in the Spirit Origin has a long history, spanning over fifty years.

These tea trees have always been nourished by Spiritual Spring Water and have now become Spirit Plants.

However, since these tea trees evolved from common species, they are considered relatively low-grade within Spiritual Tea.

In fact, the Sea of Spirit has a few rare types of Spiritual Tea, exclusive to the three major sects, which are the real top-grade Spiritual Teas.

If Spiritual Tea were divided into top, mid, and low grades, then Dongling Spring would be considered low-grade, and Spiritual Dew Tea, with its fresh bud picking and complex manufacturing process, can be considered mid-grade.

Snow Green Tea falls between the two, likely also considered mid-grade.

Compared to Snow Green Tea, Spiritual Dew Tea is still quite competitive.

As for Spiritual Wine, Yang Zhenshan fears no competition.

Across the entire Sea of Spirit, no Spiritual Wine compares to the Spirit Origin’s Spiritual Wine.

The finest wine of Spirit Origin isn’t Hundred Herbs Brew or Drunken Immortal Brew, but Hundred Fruit Brew!

The current Hundred Fruit Brew is entirely different from before; previously, it was made from ordinary fruits, but now it’s brewed using Spirit Fruit.

The Hundred Fruit Brew made from more than ten types of Spirit Fruit combined with Spiritual Spring Water is undoubtedly top-grade among top grades.

Furthermore, the effects of Hundred Fruit Brew are many—strengthening the foundation and nourishing the essence, refining True Qi, healing injuries, replenishing Essence Qi, among others.

Almost all effects possessed by Spirit Fruit are present in Hundred Fruit Brew.

Perhaps some effects are slightly less than those of Spirit Fruit, but don’t forget the inherent effects of Spiritual Spring Water.

Yang Zhenshan has consumed many Spiritual Wines in the Sea of Spirit, but in terms of effects, none can compare to Hundred Fruit Brew.
