Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1387: Chapter 883: Deal with Cangyu Mountain

”Calculate the total price!” Yang Zhenshan said.

”Alright, two B-grade cave estates total one million three hundred twenty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, B-grade store number eighteen costs seven hundred eighty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, three C-grade stores total three hundred sixty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, and thirty-eight ordinary cave estates require two hundred twenty-eight thousand Spirit Stones.”

”Master Yang, the total is two million six hundred eighty-eight thousand low-grade Spirit Stones! Additionally, the commerce offers a half-price discount within three months, which amounts to one million three hundred forty-four thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.”

The attendant eagerly looked at Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly and directly took out Spirit Stones to pay.

Actually, the so-called half price of White Cloud Trading Company is much higher compared to Lotus Heart Valley’s previous pricing, but in the past, Lotus Heart Valley was an industry owned by the Qingli Six, and the cave estates and stores were only for rent, not for sale; outsiders couldn’t buy even if they wanted to.

A higher price doesn’t matter; given Lotus Heart Valley’s current situation, buying cave estates and stores is certainly a wise investment.

After Yang Zhenshan paid the Spirit Stones, the attendant quickly fetched the Restriction Tokens for the cave estates and the stores.

Such Restriction Tokens are not difficult to make; they are like the password of a combination lock. The focus isn’t on the token itself, but rather the multiple restrictions encoded on it, which must be activated in sequence to enter the Protection Array.

Therefore, copying these Restriction Tokens isn’t hard; the challenge lies in understanding the sequence of restrictions.

Inside the cave estates and stores, the Array Plates correspond with the restrictions on the tokens, and Array Masters can modify the sequence of restrictions on the Array Plate and token, so only their own people know the code.

With the Restriction Tokens in hand, Yang Zhenshan, Yu Qingyi, and others moved directly into the cave estates.

Although they are called cave estates, they are actually courtyards; the B-grade are roughly large enough for three-generation family living, comfortably accommodating over a dozen people.

”This is quite nice. Each of you will have your own cave estate in the future!”

Yang Zhenshan handed the Restriction Tokens for the two B-grade cave estates to Cui Yang and Zhang Hexuan. They will be stationed at Lotus Heart Valley, one managing the elixir business and the other handling the talisman business.

”Is Master staying here?” Zhang Hexuan asked.

”Just leave me a chamber; I will drop by occasionally!” Yang Zhenshan smiled.

He certainly won’t stay here permanently, but he will visit often; Lotus Heart Valley is set to become the largest Immortal Cultivation community for thousands of miles around, with Spirit Source Land developments likely focused on this area.

”Additionally, make sure to spare a back yard for Bai Xiaoyun. She will oversee this place, and if you encounter any issues you can’t resolve, seek her help!” Yang Zhenshan instructed.

”Understood, Master!” Cui Yang and Zhang Hexuan replied.

With simple arrangements in place, Yang Zhenshan followed Yun Xiao to meet Que Lingfei.

Yang Zhenshan was quite curious about Que Lingfei; he wanted to learn about the Yun Que Clan and explore potential cooperation.

If possible, he also hoped to acquire demon cultivator’s cultivation methods from the Yun Que Clan.

There are plenty of mutant beasts in the Spirit Source Land, but demon cultivators have never appeared. Yang Zhenshan has always wanted to find the cultivation methods of demon cultivators, but has been unsuccessful so far.

It’s not that demon cultivator’s methods are rare, but rather they are quite unique, distinctly different from Immortal cultivator’s methods because demon cultivator’s crucial aspect is Transformation.

It’s the transformation of a beast body into human form, with emphasis not on outward appearance but the internal evolution of meridians, acupoints, Dantian, Qi Sea, and even the transformation of Divine Soul and Sea of Consciousness.

Demon beast cultivation focuses on three key aspects: Spiritual Energy, bloodline, and Transformation.

The purpose of Transformation for demon beasts is to accelerate the absorption of nature’s spiritual energy, nourish their Divine Soul, and enhance their bloodline, making Transformation the most important core of demon beast cultivation.

Human Race Cultivators don’t require Transformation, therefore they seldom study demon cultivator’s cultivation methods, resulting in their rarity in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Que Lingfei lives in A-grade number two cave estate, assigned by White Cloud Commerce from the start, whereas Yang Zhenshan was previously staying in D-grade cave estate.

White Cloud Commerce’s attitude of differential treatment is glaringly obvious.

Yun Xiao and Yang Zhenshan arrived at the cave estate entrance, activated a Communication Talisman, which wasn’t allowed inside by the Guardian Array but persistently collided with the Protection Array, resembling a knock on the door.

The Communication Talisman has no offensive power; its collision exerts only very weak mana; hence there’s a tradition in the Immortal Cultivation World to use Communication Talismans for knocking.

”Who are you?”

Not long after Yun Xiao released the Communication Talisman, a sharp voice rang from within the array.

”Yun Xiao of Xuanqing Sect requesting to see Lingfei Fairy!”

”Xuanqing Sect!”

The voice sounded somewhat naive, and a bit bewildered.

”Oh, please come in!”

The array opened, allowing Yun Xiao and Yang Zhenshan to enter.

Upon entering the array, Yang Zhenshan immediately spotted a palm-sized lark.

The lark resembled a sparrow but slightly larger, its feathers a shade of bluish-gray, appearing quite inconspicuous.

However, a lark is not a sparrow; they can soar above the clouds, and even an ordinary lark’s flight speed is astonishingly swift, faster than high-grade flying artifacts.

Moreover, the flight speed of the Second-Order larks exceeds that of standard magical treasures.

Thus, although the Yun Que Clan might seem weak, they are in fact quite formidable.
