Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1886: Chapter 1130: About to Form a Core! (Part 2)

”Then let Taiwei Tower set a cultivation salary level for them, with both cultivation and position salaries!” Yang Zhenshan said nonchalantly.

The resources needed by a Divine General are common ones, which will increase the resource stress on Spirit Source Land, but for now, the impact won’t be too significant.

”Alright!” Xuanzhen responded with satisfaction.

After Xuanzhen left, Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard, lost in thought.

Divine Generals being able to cultivate on their own is a good thing.

And some of his previous ideas have also seen progress.

It’s about enabling Divine Generals to retain memories from their past life.

Ordinary people’s memories are stored in the brain, but for cultivators and Martial Artists with a Divine Soul, the memories reside in the Divine Soul.

After they die, the Divine Soul becomes a Yin Soul, which usually dissipates into the heavens and earth in a few days, although in special environments, like places abundant with Yin Qi, the Yin Soul turns into a Ghost Cultivator.

In the transformation process, the Divine Soul loses its memory due to being washed by Yin Qi.

A Divine Soul must be rinsed by Yin Qi to become a Yin Soul, and only then can it become a Ghost Cultivator. Therefore, preserving memories from past life necessitates not protecting the Divine Soul.

For this reason, Yang Zhenshan thought of many ways to preserve the Yin Soul’s memories from past life.

His initial idea was whether it could be possible for the Divine Soul to not lose its memory during the Yin Qi cleansing process, but unfortunately, he couldn’t achieve that; the cleansing by Yin Qi will inevitably wash away the memory of the Divine Soul, even he couldn’t change that.

But now he has a different thought, which is to leave a part of the Divine Soul behind, and after the Divine Soul transforms into a Divine General, return this part of the Divine Soul to the Divine General.

Why not return it to the Yin Soul or Ghost Cultivator?

Because Yin Souls and Ghost Cultivators cannot integrate this part of the Divine Soul, or rather, for the Yin Souls and Ghost Cultivators to integrate this part of the Divine Soul, it still must undergo the washing by Yin Qi.

Divine Generals are different; although they also belong to Yin Souls, they do not need Yin Qi. If they integrate this portion of the Divine Soul, the Divine Soul won’t be rinsed by Yin Qi.

Yang Zhenshan felt this idea should be tested.

Just as he was preparing to have someone experiment, a sudden gust of wind spread from the quiet room.

He looked towards the quiet room in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.

But he quickly reacted, his figure flashed, he flew out of the Longevity Hall and hovered in the air, quietly looking at the sky above the Longevity Hall.

A moment later, a large vortex appeared above the Longevity Hall.

”About to form a core! How could it be so fast?”

Yang Zhenshan appeared puzzled.

Core Formation takes at least several years; even using the Nine Tripod Divine Pill can’t complete it in one or two years.

And now it has been less than a year since Yu Qingyi entered the quiet room.

In such a short time, Yu Qingyi has already started Core Formation.

Moreover, it seems she has already entered the second step, which is the Magic Power Barrier.

Yang Zhenshan felt somewhat amazed.

After hesitating for a moment, he still released his Spiritual Sense to investigate the situation in the quiet room.

Inside the quiet room, Yu Qingyi sat cross-legged on a mat, her eyes closed, her aura surging but very solid, indicating she was in no trouble.

In front of her, in the porcelain bottle, Yang Zhenshan found, to his surprise, that she had used the Evergreen Pill instead of the Nine Tripod Divine Pill.

”Didn’t use the Nine Tripod Divine Pill, but used the Evergreen Pill?”

”The Evergreen Pill should be useless for Core Formation!”

”Then it’s wrong!”

”While the Evergreen Pill is useless for Core Formation to others, it’s quite useful for her!”

Yang Zhenshan’s eyes sparkled, the worried look on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by an expression of anticipation.

The greatest function of the Evergreen Pill is the rebirth of Wood Spirits, but clearly Yu Qingyi didn’t utilize that function now.

Apart from Wood Spirit rebirth, the Evergreen Pill also contains Wood Attribute Dao Intent, which is greatly beneficial to Wood Attribute cultivators.

For a Foundation Establishment cultivator with Wood Attribute who takes the Evergreen Pill, it can at least enhance their cultivation by a minor realm, and possibly help them comprehend Wood Attribute Dao Intent.

Yu Qingyi is also a Wood Attribute cultivator; she comprehended Wood Attribute at the Innate Realm and can accelerate plant growth, although that wasn’t Dao Intent. Despite not having fully understood true Dao Intent afterwards, her achievements in Wood Attribute magic surpass many Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Her understanding and perception of Wood Attribute Dao Intent is also stronger than those Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Moreover, all of Yu Qingyi’s cultivation techniques are of Wood Attribute. Yang Zhenshan’s cultivation techniques are varied and numerous.

In contrast, Yu Qingyi has always been focused on Wood Attribute cultivation techniques, never practicing any other attributes’ techniques nor delving into other attributes’ magic and Dao Intent.

This focus makes her more attuned to Wood Attribute Divine Skills, as well as more suitable to take the Evergreen Pill.

Additionally, Yu Qingyi has taken many lotus seeds from the Taoist Intent Sacred Lotus; the seeds’ effect is not enhancing Dao Intent, but improving one’s compatibility with Natural Dao Intent.

With the seed’s enhancement, Yu Qingyi’s compatibility with Wood Attribute became even more perfect.

Perhaps Yu Qingyi isn’t of Wood Spirit constitution, but she is very close in comparison.

Thus, Yu Qingyi taking the Evergreen Pill helps elevate her cultivation and understanding of Dao Intent.

Yang Zhenshan isn’t sure why Yu Qingyi didn’t follow the planned procedure for Core Formation, but he trusts that Yu Qingyi doesn’t act recklessly.

Since Yu Qingyi chose to take the Evergreen Pill at this moment, she surely has her reasons.

Yang Zhenshan’s thoughts weren’t wrong; Yu Qingyi was indeed drawn by the Dao Intent within the Evergreen Pill, which prompted her to take it.

Just half a month ago, she suddenly felt a deep desire to consume the Evergreen Pill.

Initially, she thought it was mere illusion, but later she felt it might be an abnormal greed.

However, after some days of hesitation and examination, she eventually chose to consume the Evergreen Pill.

This impulsive feeling was quite irrational, yet also very rational.

After ingesting the Evergreen Pill, Yu Qingyi entered a profound and mysterious state, countless insights welling up in her mind.

She fully immersed herself in realization, not deliberately attempting Core Formation, but her instincts or subconscious began the Core Formation process.

”So fast?” Xuanzhen returned, astonishingly looking at the Spiritual Energy Vortex in the sky.

”Yes!” Yang Zhenshan replied.

”Will there be any issues? Madam hasn’t been in seclusion for even a year!” Xuanzhen said.

Yang Zhenshan glared at him fiercely, ”If you can’t speak properly, then don’t speak!”

Xuanzhen sweated a little, ”Haha, I’m just blabbering!”

After a moment, Yun Xiao, Yue Yao, Lin Qihe, Kou Ta, and Hong Fuxiu were all drawn by the suddenly appeared Spiritual Energy Vortex.

Along with Ding Qiu, Yang Mingcheng, and Yang Minghao.

The crowd gathered, all curiously looking at the Spiritual Energy Vortex in the sky.

They were quite experienced and had witnessed several Core Formation events over the years, so initially they weren’t surprised by the sudden appearance of the Spiritual Energy Vortex.

But upon hearing that Yu Qingyi had entered Core Formation after just a year in seclusion, each of them showed great astonishment.

”It’s unreasonable! Madam is a Martial Artist, how could she begin Core Formation so quickly?”

”Perhaps Madam is blessed with great fortune!”

”Surely the master gave Madam a Divine Pill!”

The crowd speculated endlessly, and Yang Zhenshan could only explain a bit.

Whether the Nine Tripod Divine Pill or the Evergreen Pill, they aren’t secretive within the Immortal Palace.

Yang Zhenshan gave them to Yu Qingyi, and no one dared utter complaints; whether envy or jealousy, emotions can exist but best kept internal and not expressed.

Yang Zhenshan only briefly explained a few words, then dismissed the crowd, whatever they were doing they should continue, less of them sticking around to bother.

After the crowd dispersed, Yang Zhenshan remained outside the Longevity Hall, quietly awaiting the success of Yu Qingyi’s Core Formation.

The Spiritual Energy Vortex persisted for seven days before gradually transforming into the Heavenly Tribulation.

With the descent of the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, Yang Zhenshan felt a sense of trepidation, more than when he himself underwent Core Formation.

He kept a close eye on Yu Qingyi in the quiet room, fearing she might make a mistake.

Fortunately, Yu Qingyi made no errors, smoothly passing through the tribulation.

It seemed so smooth that it was almost excessive, smooth enough for Yang Zhenshan to find it peculiar.

But peculiar or not, Yu Qingyi succeeded in Core Formation.
