Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1250: Chapter 819: Lotus Heart Valley

In the northern part of the Yunxiao Mountain Range, there is a Qingli Dynasty. The Qingli Dynasty consists of twelve counties, among which Yun County is located at the southernmost end of the dynasty, right at the edge of the Yunxiao Mountain Range.

Yun County is mountainous, but not with towering peaks reaching the clouds. Instead, it is filled with gentle, rounded hills like buns.

Lotus Heart Valley lies among these hills. Because it is surrounded by twelve hills, encircling the valley like petals, it was named Lotus Heart Valley.

The Qingli Dynasty is not a mortal nation but a country of immortal cultivation, with the royal family being an Immortal Cultivation Family. Within the dynasty, there are five other Cultivation Families, collectively known as the Six Families of Qingli.

This Immortal Cultivation workshop, Lotus Heart Valley, was jointly established by the Six Families of Qingli. It is said that it has been established for over a thousand years.

After leisurely traveling for more than half a year, Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi finally arrived at this legendary Immortal Cultivation workshop.

In fact, the existence of Lotus Heart Valley is not a secret. In the Qingli Dynasty, many ordinary people know about Lotus Heart Valley and the existence of Immortals.

In contrast, the Sea of Spirit, due to the dominance of Martial Arts forces, has the presence of Immortals becoming a secret unknown.

”Greetings, Immortal Master! Is it your first time coming to Lotus Heart Valley?”

At the entrance of the valley, a group of mortals was sitting at a nearby tea stall. Upon seeing Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi, they immediately gathered around. ”I am familiar with everything in the valley. If the Immortal Master needs anything, feel free to ask me!”

Yang Zhenshan glanced at these people and casually picked a young man who looked in his twenties, ”You will do!”

”Yes, sir, I am Luo San. Please, Immortal Master!”

Luo San immediately beamed and led the way for Yang Zhenshan, ”Entering Lotus Heart Valley doesn’t require any credentials or paying Spirit Stones. However, if the Immortal Master plans to stay for a few days, you need to rent a small courtyard at the inn; otherwise, cultivators patrolling at night will apprehend those lingering on the streets!”

”Hiring me for a day only requires thirty Spirit Crystal Coins!”

Mentioning Spirit Crystal Coins, Luo San looked at Yang Zhenshan with a nod and a bow.

Yang Zhenshan tossed him a Spirit Stone, ”Then I’ll hire you for three days first!”

”Very well, please, Immortal Master!” Luo San accepted the Spirit Stone, beaming radiantly.

”Then let’s go to the inn first!”

”Is the Immortal Master looking for a good cave dwelling for cultivation, or just planning to stay for a few days?” Luo San asked.

”What’s the difference?”

”If staying for just a few days, you can go to Yunlai Inn; they have guest rooms, though the Spiritual Energy concentration is a bit lower. If the Immortal Master plans to stay for a long time to cultivate, I suggest renting a cave dwelling. It’s located on a Spirit Vein, sufficient for Qi Refinement Realm cultivators to cultivate!” Luo San explained.

Qi Refinement Realm! It refers to First-tier Spiritual Veins!

Yang Zhenshan glanced over the streets and the shops on either side.

From the architecture, there is not much difference from Ancient County, but from the people they encountered, there are indeed many Immortal Cultivators here.

In just a short while, Yang Zhenshan noticed more than a dozen Immortal Cultivators, all in the Qi Refinement Realm.

Of course, there are Martial Artists here too, like this Luo San in front who is a Postnatal Martial Artist.

”Then let’s rent a cave dwelling first!” Yang Zhenshan planned to stay here for a while to better understand the world of Immortal Cultivation.

Luo San responded and led the two to rent a cave dwelling.

Although it was called a cave dwelling, it was actually a small courtyard protected by an Array. The yard had all necessary living supplies, which were very neat and clean.

The price wasn’t high either, ten Spirit Stones a month.

Yang Zhenshan experienced it in the yard, approximately the level of a mid-grade First-tier Spiritual Vein. Anywhere in the Spirit Source Land had higher Spiritual Energy concentration than here.

After renting the cave dwelling, Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi, guided by Luo San, started touring Lotus Heart Valley.

Lotus Heart Valley is not merely a workshop; it’s more like a city, with residential areas, commercial zones, Immortal Cultivators, and Martial Artists.

Yang Zhenshan asked Luo San and found out that the residents of Lotus Heart Valley are almost all Immortal Cultivators and their kin, like Luo San, whose grandfather was an Immortal Cultivator, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to live here.

”Since we’re new here, first take us to stroll around the various shops!” Yang Zhenshan said.

Luo San thought for a moment and said, ”Then let’s go to Danxuan Pavilion first. Immortal Master, the Danxuan Pavilion is a property of the Lin family. The Lin family is the royal family of our Qingli Dynasty, and the most formidable Alchemy Family in our Qingli Dynasty!”

He probably noticed that Yang Zhenshan was not from the Qingli Dynasty, so he provided a particularly detailed introduction.

Yang Zhenshan became interested and continued asking, ”Does the Lin family have many Alchemists?”

”Of course, it is said that the Lin family has two Second-rank Alchemists who can refine more than a dozen types of Second-Order Pills!” Luo San said.

”Can they refine Foundation Establishment Pills?” Yang Zhenshan asked as he stroked his beard.

He himself is considered a Second-rank Alchemist now, but the only Second-Order Pills he can refine are Youthful Pills and Foundation Establishment Pills.

This Lin family can refine more than a dozen types of Second-Order Pills, which seems quite impressive.

Luo San was taken aback, ”They can, but Foundation Establishment Pills are very precious. If the Immortal Master wants to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill, it can only be auctioned at the auction!”

”How much do Foundation Establishment Pills typically cost per piece?” Yang Zhenshan asked.

”I heard it costs tens of thousands of Spirit Stones!”

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly. It seems that even in Lotus Heart Valley, Foundation Establishment Pills are relatively rare.

This is understandable; although it seems that he could easily refine Foundation Establishment Pills, in reality, he has a lot of advantages.
