Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1508 - 942: Inventorying the Spoils, the Fang Family Pays a Visit

Taking back Li Xuanxiao’s Storage Bag, Yang Zhenshan began tallying up his gains from this trip in the study.

Li Xuanxiao truly lived up to being a Divine Soul Realm Martial Artist; his Storage Bag contained many precious Spiritual Materials, and there were even four types of Third-rank Spiritual Materials among them.

”This is a Bodhi Seed!”

Yang Zhenshan held a thumb-sized fruit in his hand, his face full of shock and uncertainty.

The Bodhi Seed, a Third-order Spirit Fruit, was greenish-blue in color, its surface covered with radial patterns. After being picked, the Bodhi Seed would jadeify in the span of a breath, becoming crystal clear, warm as jade, with a semi-transparent texture.

Third-order Bodhi Seeds also varied in quality, divided according to the surface patterns into Nine Patterns, Seven Patterns, Five Patterns, and Three Patterns. Nine Patterns was the highest quality and counted among the very top of Third-rank Spiritual Materials.

Bodhi Seeds could allow one to see into their own heart and nature, enhancing comprehension; it was said that a Nine-Patterns Bodhi could even enable a cultivator to enter a state of enlightenment.

The Bodhi Seed in Yang Zhenshan’s hand was only a Three-Patterns Bodhi Seed and should only be able to raise comprehension for a short period of time.

”Should I try it?”

Yang Zhenshan wanted to test how effective this thing was and whether it surpassed the lotus seeds of the Tiaoist Intent Sacred Lotus.

The lotus seeds of the Tiaoist Intent Sacred Lotus could also raise comprehension, but the effect was very weak.

Although this Three-Patterns Bodhi Seed was only the lowest grade of Bodhi Seed, it was still a Third-order Spirit Fruit after all; its effect should be stronger than the lotus seeds of the Tiaoist Intent Sacred Lotus.

Yang Zhenshan hesitated for a moment, then carefully examined the vitality of this Bodhi Seed and discovered that it still retained a trace of life force, so he could only give up on the idea of eating it.

Having vitality meant it might still sprout and take root. If he could grow a Bodhi Tree, it would be equivalent to having an inexhaustible supply of Bodhi Seeds.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhenshan carefully put the Bodhi Seed away, planning to find a good place later to plant it.

The remaining three types of Spiritual Material were also very precious, but unfortunately Yang Zhenshan couldn’t use them for now and could only store them in the warehouse as part of his foundation.

Next, Yang Zhenshan opened the Storage Bags of Jiang Taishu and Ming Shuzi; Jiang Taishu’s Storage Bag gave him a huge surprise.

He actually found a piece of Third-order Shocking Thunder Stone inside.

Shocking Thunder Stone was a Third-order Thunder Attribute Artifact Refining material, and would only have a chance to be born in environments where lightning was densely concentrated. It was an excellent material for refining Third-order Thunder Attribute Magic Artifacts.

This thing could completely serve as one of the materials for refining the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword.

He had originally planned to take some time to go to the Ten Thousand Treasures Store to exchange for a few types of Thunder Attribute Third-rank Spiritual Materials; he hadn’t expected Jiang Taishu to deliver one to him.

Aside from the Shocking Thunder Stone, Jiang Taishu’s two Magical Treasures were also quite good. One was the Ghost Soul Golden Fan, the square fan that could fan out gray gales.

The other was a Soul Suppressing Lock, the same type as Ming Shuzi’s Soul Suppressing Lock, though its Grade was inferior to Ming Shuzi’s.

Ming Shuzi’s Soul Suppressing Lock should be a high-grade Magical Treasure, while Jiang Taishu’s Soul Suppressing Lock was only mid-grade.

Unfortunately, Ming Shuzi’s Soul Suppressing Lock was destroyed in the thunderstorm of the Qinghua Thunder Pearl, while Jiang Taishu’s Soul Suppressing Lock remained completely intact.

Yang Zhenshan first studied the Ghost Soul Golden Fan and discovered that this thing did not suit him.

The Ghost Soul Golden Fan was also a Magical Treasure aimed at the Divine Soul, but its primary function was to obscure the Divine Soul. Once struck by the wind it fanned out, one’s Divine Soul Spiritual Sense would be obscured and unable to probe the surroundings.

This function was actually very useful. The importance of Spiritual Sense to a cultivator went without saying; once they lost sensory perception through Spiritual Sense, a cultivator would feel even worse than being deaf and blind.

In battles between Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the primary means of perception came from Spiritual Sense.

The reason this Ghost Soul Golden Fan was said not to suit Yang Zhenshan was because it needed to be used in conjunction with Divine Soul Nether Fire. The fan by itself could only obscure the Divine Soul, but if paired with Divine Soul Nether Fire, the power it could unleash would multiply.

Not only could it obscure the Divine Soul, it could also burn the Divine Soul. Without a Divine Soul Magical Treasure protecting the Divine Soul, touching it was almost certain death.

Fortunately, Yang Zhenshan had summoned the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace without hesitation back then; otherwise, he would have suffered greatly from those two things as well.

”It’s a pity there’s no Cultivation Method for Divine Soul Nether Fire, otherwise I could cultivate this Divine Soul Nether Fire!”

”This thing can only be set aside for now!”

Yang Zhenshan put down the Ghost Soul Golden Fan and then picked up the Soul Suppressing Lock.

The Soul Suppressing Lock in his hand was only seven feet long and as thick as a finger. It looked very ordinary, but it could actually extend for thousands of zhang and seal off a large region.

”This Soul Suppressing Lock is more useful than the Soul Chain inside the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower. I wonder if I can place it inside the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower!”

Yang Zhenshan thought to himself in secret.

The Soul Suppressing Lock was very suitable for him. His Divine Soul was extremely powerful, making him especially suited to use this type of Divine Soul-oriented Magical Treasure.

The Soul Suppressing Tower itself already suited him very well. It could be used for both offense and defense and could even trap an enemy’s Divine Soul. However, because Red Cloud’s Divine Soul was inside the Soul Returning Array, Yang Zhenshan currently could not use the Soul Returning Array, which caused the Soul Suppressing Tower to lose one of its most important functions.

If the Soul Returning Array were usable, when facing Jiang Taishu earlier he wouldn’t have been so constrained. He could have just forcibly dragged Jiang Taishu’s Divine Soul into the Soul Returning Array.

With the strength of his Divine Soul, he could absolutely suppress Jiang Taishu’s Divine Soul.

Yang Zhenshan first set the Soul Suppressing Lock aside and then continued examining the other items.

Jiang Taishu and Ming Shuzi had quite a few good things as well, with a large pile of various Second-Order Spiritual Material, among which there were some that Yang Zhenshan could use, but there were no truly exceptional treasures.

Yang Zhenshan categorized these items and stored them one by one in his warehouse, then tossed some miscellaneous items he didn’t care for into Ziwei Tower’s internal treasury.
