Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1267: Chapter 826: Unpredictable Ghost Sect (Part 2)

“Family Head Lu, you may dispense with formalities. Qing, serve tea to the Family Head Lu!”

Her voice, clear and melodious, swept through the tower, reminiscent of new snow falling on a jade bell, tinkling as it passed over the copper bells at the eaves.

“Thank you, Sect Master!” Lu Fusheng sat down at the desk beside him as instructed, and a graceful woman served him tea.

As the steam rose from the tea, Yue Qing spoke again, “Family Head Lu, is there something you wish to discuss with me?”

“Indeed, there is something I want to report to the Sect Master!”

“What is it?”

“Yang Zhenshan, Family Head of the Lingxi Yang family, seeks a position among the families. Since I am on good terms with the Yang Family Head, he asked me to petition the Sect Master on his behalf!” Lu Fusheng replied.

“The Lingxi Yang family, Yang Zhenshan?” Yue Qing raised her head, her previously indifferent expression becoming more earnest, “Who is this person?”

“The Lingxi Yang family is just a minor family in the Ancient County, but Yang Zhenshan entered the Ancient Relic Array in the 60th year and obtained an immortal fate, and now he is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!” Lu Fusheng said calmly.

Yue Qing’s bright eyes flickered slightly, “You say this Yang Zhenshan is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?”

“That’s correct, he has just recently broken through the Foundation Establishment Stage!”

Yue Qing’s lips curled up like a freshly bloomed peach blossom, “I didn’t expect someone could actually acquire an immortal fate in the Ancient Relic Array!”

The Transmission Hall within the Ancient Relic Array contains Immortal Dao skills, which is not a secret.

In fact, over the centuries, the three major sects have acquired numerous Immortal Dao skills from the Transmission Hall, and members from the twelve families or some small families have also obtained many Immortal Dao skills, but besides the three major sects, others have found it nearly impossible to achieve success on the Immortal Path.

Firstly, because those entering the Ancient Relic Array are all Martial Artists at the Heavenly Gang Stage, which means they are not young, and even if they have a spiritual aperture, it is very difficult to achieve much by converting to Immortal Dao skills.

Secondly, because of the lack of Immortal Dao resources, a single Foundation Establishment Pill can keep most people at the threshold of the Immortal Path.

It’s hard enough for the three major sects to cultivate a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, let alone the families and small clans.

“I’m very curious how he managed to complete the Foundation Establishment!” Yue Qing inquired.

She naturally understood the difficulty of the Immortal Dao Foundation Establishment, and the assistance provided by the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Foundation Establishment doesn’t necessarily require the aid of a Foundation Establishment Pill, but without it, the chances of success are minuscule.

“Lu Fusheng doesn’t know either!” Lu Fusheng shook his head slightly.

Yue Qing stood up and walked out from behind the gauze curtains. She wore a snow-white gauze dress, her skin fairer than snow, her brows like a painting, resembling an Immortal descended from the moon.

“Are you quite familiar with this Yang Zhenshan?”

“Yes, to be honest with the Sect Master, during a previous demonic attack on our county city, it was Yang Zhenshan who helped me out of trouble!” Lu Fusheng also stood up and said.

“You say you’re honest, but why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Yue Qing looked at him with a half-smile.

Lu Fusheng cupped his hands, not arguing, just saying, “I hope the Sect Master forgives me.”

Yue Qing gazed at him, and after a moment, she smiled, “Never mind!”

“Ask Yang Zhenshan if he’s willing to join my Illusion Moon Sect!”

“Ah!” Lu Fusheng looked up at her in amazement.

Yue Qing wore a gentle smile, “A Foundation Establishment Cultivator is worth the Illusion Moon Sect’s effort to recruit. As for the family position, once in the Illusion Moon Sect, the family position would be of little value.”

The three major sects have always been nurturing Immortal cultivators, especially since the Golden Core Great Cultivator of Hidden Sword Mountain passed away. They’ve all hoped for a Golden Core Cultivator from their sects, so they can firmly control the Sea of Spirit.

Unfortunately, for over three hundred years now, they’ve failed to produce Golden Core cultivators, not to mention Foundation Establishment cultivators.

As for the Illusion Moon Sect, it currently has only one Foundation Establishment cultivator, and that person is near the end of their lifespan.

The Illusion Moon Sect very much needs a Foundation Establishment cultivator to continue the sect’s Immortal Dao tradition, and it just so happens that at this time, Yang Zhenshan has emerged, so Yue Qing is naturally eager to recruit him.

Of course, if it was an unknown Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Yue Qing wouldn’t easily express a desire to recruit him.

Yang Zhenshan is different. He hails from the Lingxi Yang family in the Ancient County, which is just a small family, aligning well with Yue Qing’s preferences.

Yang Zhenshan’s plan to go public successfully diverged slightly from his original plan.

“This~~” Lu Fusheng hesitated.

“Forget it, bring him here, and I’ll speak with him personally.” Yue Qing said.

“Yes!” Lu Fusheng thought for a moment and felt that Yang Zhenshan needed to be present himself since he couldn’t decide for Yang Zhenshan.

“In that case, I’ll take my leave!”

…

Lian Family Town, the ancestral home of the Lian family.

The cold moonlight, a secluded courtyard, in the dim quiet chamber.

The ancestor of the Lian family sat cross-legged on a rush cushion, his face sallow and skeletal, his whole body exuding an aura of death, as if even his breath had become exceedingly weak.

“You don’t have much time left. Now is your last chance to choose!”

Behind him was a figure shrouded entirely in darkness.

The Lian family ancestor opened his cloudy eyes and said hoarsely, “I won’t cooperate with someone who hides their identity. Tell me who you are.”

“Heh heh, even facing death, you still think of such things. If you refuse to cooperate with us, not only you will die but also the entire Lian family!”

The figure in the dark let out a jarring, mocking laugh.

“Tell me your identity!” The Lian family ancestor stubbornly insisted.

“Since it’s come to this, what does it matter if I tell you? Soul-breaking Blade Mo Xuanyu.”

The Lian family ancestor stiffly turned around, “Soul-breaking Blade, heh heh, do you take me for a senile old fool?”
