Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1889: Chapter 1132: No, It’s You Who Dies, I Survive!

”This Nine Tripod Divine Pill is for Ming Cheng, Ming Cheng!”

Yang Zhenshan beckoned to Yang Mingcheng, who looked astonished, still somewhat incredulous.

”Father!”

He quickly stepped forward, knelt down, and bowed.

”Mm, take it. Cultivate well, form your core as soon as possible, and don’t disappoint your father and mother’s expectations!” Yang Zhenshan smiled.

Yang Mingcheng’s body trembled with excitement.

This was the Nine Tripod Divine Pill, capable of allowing him to form his core.

Even as the Yang family’s eldest son, he dared not have too many extravagant hopes.

Although Yang Zhenshan had previously mentioned preparing the Nine Tripod Divine Pill for him, he never expected Yang Zhenshan to directly give him this pill.

”Your child thanks you, father and mother!” Yang Mingcheng directly bowed several times with a resounding thud.

The crowd was immensely envious upon seeing this.

No one dared to be jealous, nor thought this act unjust.

”Mm, stand up!”

Yang Zhenshan flicked his horsetail whisk to help Yang Mingcheng up.

”The first Nine Tripod Divine Pill will be ranked ten years from now. Everyone can prepare in advance!” Yang Zhenshan glanced at Ding Qiu.

Actually, he wanted to prepare one for Ding Qiu, but he couldn’t openly favor Ding Qiu.

Though openly not feasible, he could still offer Ding Qiu some merit in secret.

Bear in mind he himself had plenty of merit. The Elixir he provided to the Merit Hall was calculated by merit.

In the Life Realm Immortal Palace, merit can be transferred, gifted, inherited; essentially, merit is currency, just without physical form.

With Yang Zhenshan’s guarantee, everyone’s minds were put at ease, and they became much more proactive.

Currently, there are few places to earn merit in the Life Realm Immortal Palace; battle missions are scarce, while production tasks are available, but most production tasks are priced by labor. You can earn some merit, but not a large amount.

To earn a significant amount of merit, one must utilize battle missions. Only by achieving merit in battle can one gain a large quantity.

The Life Realm Immortal Palace temporarily lacks battle missions, so everyone must focus their energy and time on cultivation and production tasks.

This, in turn, has stimulated the productivity of the Spirit Source Land, where Foundation Establishment Cultivators are working frantically, refining elixirs, crafting artifacts, making talismans, and so on.

Usually, everyone appears laid-back, but now they are all incredibly enthusiastic.

Upon learning of this, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but smile.

Enthusiasm must be stimulated; the greatest benefit of the Life Realm Immortal Palace is its stability, but the greatest drawback is also stability.

Being stable for too long breeds laziness, but now, with the stimulation from the Nine Tripod Divine Pill, this laziness has dissipated considerably.

Yang Zhenshan was glad to see this, though he did not pay it excessive attention.

After the banquet, Yang Zhenshan held an exchange meeting for Yu Qingyi. Following the meeting, Yang Zhenshan spent a month imparting some cultivation insights and experiences to Yu Qingyi.

Then Yu Qingyi went into seclusion to stabilize her cultivation, while Yang Zhenshan returned to the Pill Hall to refine elixirs once more.

He still had four sets of Evergreen Pill materials and two sets of Nine Tripod Divine Pill materials.

After refining these elixirs, he would not have enough materials to continue refining for a while.

As for the Nine Tripod Divine Pill materials, not much needs to be said; just one Void Star Core drastically limits the quantity of refining.

Evergreen Pill materials are also not easy to obtain; without the Green Bull Demon King, Yang Zhenshan likely couldn’t even gather one set of materials.

Even the Green Bull Demon King needs time to cultivate the materials. Yang Zhenshan has already arranged with him to provide five sets of Evergreen Pill materials every century.

This quantity is certainly quite a lot; besides the Green Bull Demon King, likely no one else in the world can achieve this.

The Green Bull Demon King agreed easily, apparently finding this task not particularly difficult.

Of course, Yang Zhenshan isn’t having the Green Bull Demon King contribute for free.

After refining the five sets of materials into elixirs, Yang Zhenshan will take two pills as a refining fee, the Green Bull Demon King will receive two for the material costs, and the last pill will be placed in the Merit Hall as the Green Bull Demon King’s contribution to the Sect.

If others wish to have it, they must either redeem with merit or exchange with Yang Zhenshan or the Green Bull Demon King.

For most cultivators, many scarce resources are not unaffordable but unattainable, lacking opportunities and avenues to buy.

For a power, the most important foundation is providing various resources to cultivators.

Only by providing the needed resources for cultivators can they loyally serve the power.

If unable to provide resources, it will only breed discontent and discord.

This is why Yang Zhenshan has always been committed to developing the trade in Spirit Source Land; without trade, there won’t be a comprehensive range of resources, can’t supply various resources to everyone, nor meet everyone’s cultivation needs.

In the short term, everyone might endure, but over time, dissatisfaction will inevitably arise, and Spirit Source Land will face fluctuations.

As the master of the Life Realm Immortal Palace and the ruler of White Jade City, Yang Zhenshan’s most crucial responsibility is to provide ample resources for everyone.

It’s not about satisfying everyone’s needs but about meeting the basic needs of all.

...

While Yang Zhenshan was refining elixirs, the war within the Wanhua Mountain Range finally neared its end.

The millennium-long accumulation of the Wanhua Demon Emperor ultimately couldn’t compete with the terrifying foundation of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

It’s not that the Wanhua Demon Emperor was insufficiently powerful, but that the foundations of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect were excessively profound.
