Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1247: Chapter 817: Changes in the Spirit Source Land (2)

Yang Zhenshan sensitively perceived, examining the Earth Veins and Spirit Veins of Spirit Source Land.

His understanding of Earth Veins and Spirit Veins was very superficial, because only in Spirit Source Land could he accurately detect the Earth Veins and Spirit Veins. In the outside world, he could only infer the conditions of the Earth Veins and Spirit Veins based on the surface situation.

The quality of the Spirit Veins indicates the concentration of Spiritual Energy in a location. Previously, the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau probably had second-rank low-grade or mid-grade Spirit Veins, so the concentration of Spiritual Energy was very high.

But now, Yang Zhenshan discovered that the quality of the Spirit Veins at Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau had improved significantly.

However, he was not aware of the difference between second-rank top-grade and third-stage Spirit Veins, so he couldn’t determine the current rank of the Spirit Veins at Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau.

As for the Spiritual Springs, they all arise from the Spirit Veins.

Spirit Source Land currently has two Spirit Veins, one extending north from Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau, containing six Spiritual Springs, including those at Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau and Green Wolf Mountain. This Spirit Vein should be the main Spirit Vein of Spirit Source Land.

The other one branches off from the main Spirit Vein, extending more than 300 miles northwest from Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau. This Spirit Vein branch is roughly second-rank low-grade.

With these two Spirit Veins, Spirit Source Land can establish many places for cultivation.

”Three mineral veins, one second-rank mid-grade Jin Huo attribute mineral vein, surprisingly like the mineral vein of the Ancient Array, capable of mining Red Gold Geng Essence and Golden Flame Stone, but the quality seems inferior to that of the mineral vein in the Ancient Array!”

”One first-rank top-grade Mystic Iron Ore, it was the previous Mystic Iron Ore, only its rank has been upgraded, but now it’s worth mining!”

”One Spirit Stone Mine, unfortunately, only mid-grade at first-rank, capable of mining only low-grade Spirit Stones.”

”These mineral veins are assets of Spirit Source Land, best not to mine them, rather focus on the mineral veins in the Ancient Array first!”

In addition to Spirit Veins and mineral veins, there’s also a Fire Vein, the one at Flame Mountain. Previously, it could barely count as a first-rank Fire Vein, now it has achieved second-rank mid-grade.

The enhancement of Earth Veins signifies the improvement in Spiritual Energy concentration in Spirit Source Land, also serving as the foundation for nurturing Spiritual Objects in Spirit Source Land.

Yang Zhenshan checked the distribution of Spiritual Springs again, ”It should still flow along the previous river route without major changes!”

His greatest concern was the emergence of new Spiritual Springs causing the Spirit River to change course. Knowing that the towns and villages of Spirit Source Land were all built along the Spirit River, if the Spirit River changes course, these towns and villages might need to be relocated. Thankfully, this did not happen.

...

In the Spiritual Fruit Tree forest.

Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi walked side by side in the woods, both had already stabilized their cultivation, feeling the most relaxed.

Previously, both worked hard for a breakthrough, bearing great pressure in their hearts.

Now, they both have broken through, gaining three hundred years of lifespan. Whatever the future holds, they have at least two hundred years of companionship.

”Haha~~”

Yang Zhenshan turned his head to look at Yu Qingyi, laughing out loud.

”What are you laughing at?”

”Haha, the madam has become more beautiful!” Yang Zhenshan laughed.

”You also look younger!” Yu Qingyi chuckled, covering her mouth.

Indeed!

Yu Qingyi now appeared like a seventeen-year-old girl, her entire being exuding a youthful aura.

Previously, she seemed young, but lacked the naïveté of a young girl.

The change was attributed to her taking a Youthful Pill and her breakthrough, resulting in her reversal of aging.

Yang Zhenshan’s laughter stemmed from his wife transforming into a delicate young girl, hehe~~ this experience is truly...

Now, Yang Zhenshan also underwent a change, but his greatest change was not his appearance, but his beard.

In terms of appearance, he remained the handsome middle-aged man, albeit aging from forty to thirty, looking considerably younger, yet not experiencing rejuvenation like Yu Qingyi.

Only his beard shortened significantly, not because he trimmed it, but because during Foundation Establishment, refining and remodeling his body, his beard fell off, regrowing thicker and smoother.

The original three-foot majestic beard was now less than one-foot-long, making Yang Zhenshan appear less imposing and more scholarly.

Now, he no longer resembles a battlefield-hardened General, rather more like a humble scholar.

The couple no longer seems like an old married couple, resembling newfound wedded bliss.

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard, feeling somewhat unfamiliar.

With his current constitution, he could easily regrow his original beard, but he chose not to as it was somewhat cumbersome.

Previously he couldn’t bear to cut his beard, now having changed, there’s no need to insist.

”I plan to visit Lotus Heart Valley soon!” Yang Zhenshan commented casually, wrapping his arm around Yu Qingyi’s soft waist.

This Lotus Heart Valley is the workshop closest to the Sea of Spirit in the north of Yunxiao Mountain Range, reputed to be home to many Immortal Cultivation Families.

Having embarked on the immortal path, Yang Zhenshan inevitably needs to familiarize himself with the Immortal Cultivation World, not just linger in the Sea of Spirit.

Though Sea of Spirit hosts Immortal Cultivators, it’s actually the realm of Martial Artists, governed by those few exalted Martial Immortals, not Immortal Cultivators.

Yang Zhenshan couldn’t find any fellow practitioners here, hence the need to visit Lotus Heart Valley.

”Take me as well!” Yu Qingyi wished to explore, having seldom left Spirit Source Land these years due to attempting breakthroughs. Having achieved it now, she naturally wishes to explore, and is curious about the world of Immortal Cultivation.

”Haha, no problem. We can journey there together!” Yang Zhenshan replied.

”Any issues here in the Sea of Spirit?” Yu Qingyi asked.

Yang Zhenshan slightly shook his head, ”None, the Three Sects and Nether Prison Sect have already ceased hostilities.”

Interestingly, the Three Sects and the Nether Prison Sect’s war, lasting over a decade, concluded anticlimactically with a ceasefire.

Both sides seemed to have negotiated an agreement, withdrawing troops to stop the fight.

As for the agreement’s details, the Secret Martial Guards gathered some information, revealing the Three Sects compromised, allowing Nether Prison Sect to explore the Ancient Relic Array.

Regarding this agreement, Yang Zhenshan felt the war hadn’t truly ended, and would inevitably resume.

The Three Sects and Nether Prison Sect jointly exploring the Ancient Relic Array?

Isn’t that a joke?

Once they venture into the Ancient Relic Array, likely only the Transmission Hall and mineral veins would remain in the Ancient Relic Array.

If only Spirit Source Land could relocate the Transmission Hall and mineral veins, Yang Zhenshan would have left them solely that Ancient Array.

Yet this matter is hardly Yang Zhenshan’s concern; when the next ten-year period comes, Yang Zhenshan will withdraw people back to Spirit Source Land, leaving behind only a Jade Token.

Hmm, after their exploration, Yang Zhenshan would lay down the Pocket World Gate again, sending people to mine the Ancient Relic Array, following the policy of enemy advance, I retreat; enemy retreat, I advance, persevering until the mineral veins and Transmission Hall in the Ancient Relic array are thoroughly exhausted.

As for how the Three Sects and Nether Prison Sect would manage, Yang Zhenshan doesn’t care.

...

With both Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi experiencing breakthroughs, Spirit Source Land naturally celebrated grandly, with banquets lasting three days, bringing joy and excitement to Spirit Source Land.

Afterward, necessary tasks needed addressing.

The Clan Hall now faced a new task, greening the regions extended by Spirit Source Land.

This concerns eighty thousand square kilometers, transforming it into lush mountains and grasslands requires substantial time and manpower.

Fortunately, Yang Zhenshan’s requirements aren’t high; just sow seeds and let plants grow freely, for animals, in a decade, they’ll naturally proliferate.

The Clan Hall began striving for Spirit Source Land’s greening, while Yang Zhenshan remained active.

After achieving Foundation Establishment, his constitution, mana, and Divine Soul Power underwent transformative enhancement, though not necessary to elaborate on constitution and mana. The key was his fusion of Divine Soul with Spirit Source Land’s Origin Core.

With the rise in his Divine Soul Power, Spirit Source Land’s Origin Core also advanced; hence Spirit Source Land expanded.
