Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1727: Chapter 1053: Fragments of Words

”Alright, I’ll give it a try, but don’t expect much in the short term!”

Old Niu laughed heartily, ”No rush, no rush, Mr. Yang, take your time!”

He wasn’t in immediate need of the Evergreen Pill, he was just indulging in a mere hope; if Yang Zhenshan could refine it, that would be great, but if he couldn’t, he could always think of another way.

”These spiritual medicines!” Yang Zhenshan looked at the storage bag in his hand and said, ”I can’t refine them right now. I only need to study the elixir recipe!”

Logically, since he couldn’t refine it now, these spiritual medicines should naturally be returned to Old Niu, but he was a bit reluctant.

So many third-order spirit fruits and spiritual medicines, making him unable to resist feelings of greed.

”Keep them, Mr. Yang, whether you succeed or not, these spiritual medicines are the payment from me, Old Niu, to you!” Old Niu said generously.

The thing he lacked the least was spirit fruits and spiritual medicines.

As long as he was given enough time, he could cultivate more spirit fruits and spiritual medicines.

Yang Zhenshan hesitated for a moment, then smiled, ”Then I won’t be polite, honestly, I actually need these spiritual medicines!”

The spirit fruits and spiritual medicines Old Niu gave weren’t in accordance with the Evergreen Pill’s elixir recipe, many of them couldn’t be used for the Evergreen Pill.

But Yang Zhenshan could use them elsewhere, such as in refining other elixirs.

”Haha, it’s a small thing, just a small thing!” Old Niu felt genuinely gratified by Yang Zhenshan.

However, Yang Zhenshan sighed at how Old Niu truly lived up to being a wealthy landowner, giving away so many third-order spirit fruits and spiritual medicines without feeling the slightest pinch.

What does this indicate?

It indicates that Old Niu surely has plenty more spirit fruits and spiritual medicines at hand.

...

The Nine Tripod Divine Pill still hadn’t reached refinement conditions, and now came the Evergreen Pill; Yang Zhenshan felt he had a long way to go in the study of alchemy.

However, this matter cannot be rushed, and he could not accomplish it alone.

After leaving Qingniu Palace, Yang Zhenshan asked Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun to study an array that could collect Taiyin moonlight and Pure Yang Qi, and also asked Yun Xiao to collect the Void Star Core in the Void if she had time.

As for the other materials required for the two elixirs, Yang Zhenshan assigned subordinates to find and collect them.

Once things were arranged, Yang Zhenshan focused on improving his alchemy skills.

He also asked Sealing Spirit about the refining method of the Evergreen Pill, but unfortunately, Sealing Spirit wasn’t aware such an elixir existed in the world.

This is normal, Sealing Spirit is not an omniscient being, and the former master of Sealing Spirit wasn’t someone who could refine all elixirs either.

Thus, Yang Zhenshan can only slowly study and gradually gather materials.

On this day, Yang Zhenshan received another summons from White Cloud True Monarch.

Sky Cloud Sword Sect, Jade Sky Hall.

Yang Zhenshan entered the hall and saw Jian Changhe and Yun Xiao were already there, but Que Lingyu had not yet arrived.

After greeting them, Yang Zhenshan sat down and waited for Que Lingyu.

”What’s the matter?” Seeing White Cloud True Monarch’s slightly troubled expression, Yang Zhenshan asked.

White Cloud True Monarch shook his head slightly, ”We’ll talk after Lingyu arrives; it’s a bit complicated!”

Yang Zhenshan heard this and could only wait quietly.

Que Lingyu was quick, arriving from Cangyu Mountain in less than two quarters of an hour.

”What’s the issue? Why call me here so urgently?” Que Lingyu took her seat and asked.

White Cloud True Monarch said in a deep voice, ”We’re in trouble.”

”What kind of trouble?”

”The Cangming Eagle has been wiped out by the Unpredictable Ghost Sect! Yellow Springs Ancestor has joined the Unpredictable Ghost Sect!” White Cloud True Monarch said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere inside the hall became extremely tense.

Yang Zhenshan’s expression was also extremely serious.

The extermination of the Cangming Eagle Clan is undoubtedly a big deal, but for the Sky Cloud Sword Sect, Yellow Springs Ancestor joining the Unpredictable Ghost Sect is an unavoidable major problem.

Wanhua Demon Court has three respecteds seven elders, and besides the enigmatic Wanhua Demon Emperor, the others represent a powerful demon clan each, with the Cangming Eagle being one of them.

The three respecteds seven elders are the top leaders of the Wanhua Demon Court, the demon clans they represent are the aristocracy and the backbone of the Wanhua Demon Court.

Previously, when the Unpredictable Ghost Sect massacred many demon clans in the Wanhua Mountain Range, the Wanhua Demon Court was able to tolerate it, but now the Unpredictable Ghost Sect has wiped out the Cangming Eagle Clan. If the Wanhua Demon Court continues to tolerate this, it may as well disband directly.

As long as the Wanhua Demon Court no longer tolerates it, a war is bound to erupt between the two sides.

The Unpredictable Ghost Sect might genuinely want to go to war with the Wanhua Demon Court!

A war between two major factions will inevitably affect the entire Wanhua Mountain Range’s structure. Although the Sky Cloud Sword Sect is on the edge of the Wanhua Mountain Range, it will also be implicated.

Of course, if this were the only issue, the Sky Cloud Sword Sect would still have room to maneuver, but the problem is Yellow Springs Ancestor has joined the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

The animosity between Yellow Springs Ancestor and the Sky Cloud Sword Sect is well known, and by joining the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, he will surely encourage them to take action against the Sky Cloud Sword Sect.

”Why would Yellow Springs Old Ghost join the Unpredictable Ghost Sect? Aren’t they supposed to be mortal enemies?” Jian Changhe asked.

Yellow Springs Old Ghost is a ghost cultivator, and the thing the Unpredictable Ghost Sect likes to do the most is create and enslave ghost cultivators.

Previously, the people from the Unpredictable Ghost Sect often targeted the ghost cultivators from Yellow Springs Hall; logically, they should be mortal enemies.

White Cloud True Monarch shook his head, ”Not clear, perhaps Yellow Springs Old Ghost was coerced by the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, or perhaps the Unpredictable Ghost Sect offered irresistible benefits. In any case, Yellow Springs Hall joining the Unpredictable Ghost Sect is an undeniable fact!”
