Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 802: Chapter 604: Exchanging the Soul-attaching Pill Elixir Recipe (Part 2)

The plant species in the Snowy Plain are relatively few, but the animals there are quite numerous, and many of them aren’t found in Da Rong.

Therefore, Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi spent over a month capturing wildlife in the Snowy Plain.

They caught over a thousand animals of various sizes and transplanted more than a hundred types of plants.

It wasn’t until the first snow began to fall in the Snowy Plain that they rode the captured reindeer towards the Snow Spirit Palace.

There are many primitive tribes in the Snowy Plain, although calling them primitive is not entirely accurate. These tribes have language and written forms; some live by fishing and hunting, others by herding, and some even cultivate the land. Many tribes possess the ability to forge iron tools.

They live primitively, but they are not ignorant savages.

Within these tribes, the Spiritual Grace Holy Sect holds a revered status.

They worship the cold wind, ice, snow, and nether light, but they aren’t officially considered believers of the Spiritual Grace Holy Sect or recognized by the three Holy Palaces.

Believers recognized by the three Holy Palaces are gathered around the Holy Palace’s resident sites; like Snow Spirit Palace, it has thirty-six valleys and seventy-two tribes, close to a million believers, all around the Snow Spirit Sacred Mountain.

In fact, the territories of the Snow Spirit Palace are not as barren as imagined. Despite the harsh cold environment of the Snowy Plain, the valleys surrounding the Snow Spirit Sacred Mountain are cultivatable.

Additionally, the believers of Snow Spirit Holy Palace live calmly without heavy taxes or uncalled-for labors; their life is simple and prosperous.

When Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi arrived at the Snow Spirit Sacred Mountain, the world was a vast expanse of white.

The Snow Spirit Holy Palace is established atop the Snow Spirit Sacred Mountain, which isn’t very tall, and the so-called Holy Palace isn’t very ornate. The architectural style is quite rugged, yet amidst the vast white surroundings, it appears particularly majestic and boldly.

“Why have you come?”

Xue Qiaoer was delighted by the arrival of Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi.

“Haha! Just wandering around idly, happened to pass by, so came to pay a visit!” Yang Zhenshan laughed heartily.

Soon, Xue Qiaoer welcomed Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi into the Snow Spirit Holy Palace.

“I brought some gifts for you!” Yang Zhenshan said.

Then he took down the package from the reindeer’s back.

They had captured a total of twenty reindeer, all kept within the Spiritual Spring Space. Before reaching the Snow Spirit Sacred Mountain, they released six reindeer, each riding one, and the remaining four carried some supplies.

The reindeer of the Snowy Plain are large, some even larger than horses, making riding them entirely feasible.

“Thank you!” Xue Qiaoer smiled brightly, her face beaming with joy.

Xue Qiaoer then warmly hosted Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi, introducing them to the senior leadership of the Snow Spirit Palace.

Over the years, the Yang family and Snow Spirit Palace have maintained a close relationship with frequent contacts.

The ongoing trade between Snow Spirit Palace and Fuzhou City is the main factor, especially now that the Assistant General of Fuzhou City is Yang Qinhua, though not of the Yang family but a member of Yang.

The Snow Spirit Palace boasts three Innate Martial Artists, making it quite powerful.

Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi stayed at the Snow Spirit Palace for three days, after which Yang Zhenshan sought out Granny Xue.

“Granny Xue, I would like the elixir recipe for the Soul-attaching Pill!”

In a simple room, Granny Xue sat by the stove and didn’t get upset by Yang Zhenshan’s request.

“I knew you’d want the elixir recipe for the Soul-attaching Pill! Yet, the Soul-attaching Pill’s recipe is the most important secret of our Spiritual Grace Holy Sect; we absolutely cannot give it away easily!”

Yang Zhenshan asked, “Are there no other forces besides the Spiritual Grace Holy Sect that possess the Soul-attaching Pill’s recipe in this world?”

Granny Xue looked at him with a subtle smile on her wrinkled face, “What do you think the Soul-attaching Pill is?”

“An elixir that grants Martial Artists abilities akin to Tiaoist Intent,” Yang Zhenshan explained.

Granny Xue showed a surprised look, “You heard about the Soul-attaching Pill elsewhere?”

“No, I guessed!”

“Then you’ve already grasped Taoist Intent!” Granny Xue said.

Yang Zhenshan paused for a moment, then nodded, “That’s right, I’ve indeed entered Tao, though I’ve only mastered a bit of Taoist Intent for now!”

“Can you demonstrate?” Granny Xue asked.

Yang Zhenshan naturally did not refuse; he gently waved his hand, and suddenly dazzling lightning appeared in his palm, illuminating the room, accompanied by a thunderous sound echoing within.

Thunder!

This is a power that Yang Zhenshan recently mastered; it’s essentially not the Thunderbolt Strike but rather Heaven and Earth Dao Intent.

Just as Xuanzhen can control wind, Yang Zhenshan can now command thunder.

Yet, he has only grasped a small portion of Thunder Power, lacking significant offensive capability, resembling more of a flash grenade that can blind enemies.

Granny Xue stared intently at Yang Zhenshan’s hand, her cloudy eyes reflecting the flickering lightning.

The lightning extinguished, and Yang Zhenshan looked back at Granny Xue.

Granny Xue took quite a while to regain her composure, “The elixir recipe for the Soul-attaching Pill can be given, but you must offer something of equal value in exchange!”

“Would Spirit Fruits suffice?”

“Hehe, a few Spirit Fruits won’t do!”

Yang Zhenshan waved his hand, and immediately twenty wooden boxes and twenty porcelain bottles appeared before Granny Xue.

“Here are ten Three Yellow Plums, ten Jade Dew Spirit Peaches, and twenty True Essence Pills, is it enough?”

Granny Xue was astonished, staring blankly at Yang Zhenshan.

“How did you manage this?”

“That’s a secret!” Yang Zhenshan said with a slight smile.

The storage ability of the Spiritual Spring Space no longer needed to be concealed; his strength was now robust enough that revealing some unique abilities shouldn’t pose problems.

Moreover, this world contains many mystical abilities; since comprehending Heaven and Earth Dao Intent, he realized that the path of Martial Arts was far more wondrous than he had imagined.

However, he was careful not to expose the ability to cultivate Spirit Fruits, trying to conceal it as much as possible.

Because compared to storage ability, the ability to cultivate Spirit Fruits was undoubtedly harder for people to accept.

Spirit Fruits are a rarity for many individuals and forces; even powerful forces only guard one or two Spiritual Fruit Trees at most.

But now, he possesses hundreds of Spirit Plants; Three Yellow Plums, Ice Heart Fruits, Star Origin Fruits, Jade Dew Spirit Peaches, Light Spirit Fruits—these five Spirit Fruits are almost like ordinary fruits to him.

If Yang Zhenshan’s Spiritual Fruit Tree were to become a forest, in a few more years, it might grow to cover entire mountains and plains.

Granny Xue looked at the Spirit Fruits and elixirs in front of her, then at the smiling Yang Zhenshan.

Then she let out a long sigh.

“That’s enough!”

“These are more than sufficient!”

Yang Zhenshan gave far too much!

Making it impossible for her to refuse.

“We can further exchange Spirit Fruits; aside from Ice Heart Fruits, I’ll use two Three Yellow Plums, two Jade Dew Spirit Peaches, or two True Essence Pills in exchange for any Spirit Fruits!” Yang Zhenshan proposed an enticing offer.

Granny Xue gave him a deep look and said, “I need to discuss this matter with others first!”

“No problem!” Yang Zhenshan wasn’t in a rush.

The Snow Spirit Palace quickly reached a result, as there wasn’t much to discuss.

Though the elixir recipe for the Soul-attaching Pill is “precious”, it’s just an elixir recipe. Never mind that it’s a secret transmission of the Spiritual Grace Holy Sect; for substantial enough benefits, any secret transmission can be traded.

In the end, Yang Zhenshan successfully obtained the elixir recipe for the Soul-attaching Pill and acquired four kinds of Spirit Fruits as well.

Nether Light Fruits, Wind Spirit Fruits, Cloud Berry Fruits, and Cold Pine Fruits.

Seeing the Cloud Berry and Cold Pine Fruits, Yang Zhenshan was entirely dumbfounded.

The tiny Cloud Berry and Cold Pine Fruits were barely the size of a fingernail; Granny Xue directly presented two plates, each holding over a hundred berries.

Yang Zhenshan looked at the Cloud Berry and Cold Pine Fruits, then at Granny Xue.

He felt he had been swindled!

Exchanging two Spirit Fruits for one Spirit Fruit, wouldn’t these Cloud Berry and Cold Pine Fruits require four to five hundred Spirit Fruits to trade?
