Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 803: Chapter 605: Taking the First Step Toward Rebellion

“This is a Spirit Fruit!”

“Of course it is, you should try it!”

Yang Zhenshan hesitated for a moment before picking up a Cloud Berry Fruit and putting it into his mouth.

Hmm, sweet and sour, very delicious.

After it went down, a warm sensation spread throughout his body.

Later, he tried a Cold Pine Fruit, rich with the fragrance of pine, very juicy, and after ingesting it, a cooling sensation.

It really is a Spirit Fruit!

Alright then!

Spirit Fruits aren’t just peaches and plums.

“Granny Xue, I think we should discuss the exchange ratio again!”

“Hehe~~” Xue Qiaoer beside them couldn’t help but laugh.

Granny Xue laughed, “The effects of these two Spirit Fruits aren’t very obvious. For Innate Martial Artists, they just have a weak effect. Cloud Berry Fruit can purify Innate True Qi, and Cold Pine Fruit can calm the mind and nourish the soul! Besides that, they are also ministering ingredients for refining the Soul-attaching Pill!”

With that said, she handed the Elixir Recipe for the Soul-attaching Pill to Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan glanced at it, and as he expected, the Soul-attaching Pill requires three kinds of Spirit Fruits and over a dozen Treasure Medicines.

A chief, two ministers, twelve associates, and four kinds of medicinal leads, namely, drug enablers.

With so many Spirit Fruits and Medicinal Materials required, it’s no wonder the Snow Spirit Palace only refines it once every three generations of Palace Masters.

“Can Nether Light Fruits and Wind Spirit Fruits also be used to refine Soul-attaching Pills?” Yang Zhenshan asked.

“They can, but the concoction is slightly different, with different effects! If you want these two recipes, you’ll have to seek the Nether Light Holy Palace and the Wind Spirit Holy Palace. Although we all belong to the Spiritual Grace Holy Sect, the recipes for the Soul-attaching Pill differ.” Granny Xue replied.

Yang Zhenshan nodded, showing his understanding.

The effects of Nether Light Fruits, Wind Spirit Fruits, and Ice Heart Fruits are quite marginal. Nether Light Fruits can enhance night vision, Wind Spirit Fruits can improve a martial artist’s sensory ability to external auras.

Plus, Ice Heart Fruits can enhance cold resistance.

How should I say this!

The abilities associated with these three Spirit Fruits seem useful but somehow not very significant.

But if refined into the Soul-attaching Pill, then it’s a different story.

It can grant a martial artist the ability to harness light, wind, and snow.

Yang Zhenshan felt that other Spirit Fruits might also be used in refining Soul-attaching Pills, but the specific recipe should have some differences.

This requires slow research.

Granny Xue continued, “One Nether Light Fruit, two Wind Spirit Fruits, and these; you can give me ten True Essence Pills!”

Yang Zhenshan laughed heartily, “Granny Xue, you are righteous, I admire you!”

Saying this, he waved his hand, and the Spirit Fruits on the table instantly turned into porcelain bottles.

Xue Qiaoer widened her eyes, circling around Yang Zhenshan constantly, “Where did you hide it?”

“It’s a secret!”

“Tell me!”

“I really can’t tell you!”

“Stingy!”

Xue Qiaoer said dissatisfied.

The transaction completed, Yang Zhenshan could be said to have reaped significant rewards.

After leaving the Snow Spirit Palace, Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi did not linger much but dived into the Monghe Mountain.

Although Yang Zhenshan had previously bypassed Monghe Mountain for a surprise attack on Yemi City, he had not ventured deep into the Monghe Mountain.

There were quite a number of species in the Monghe Mountains, and the couple gained a lot.

They also took the opportunity to observe the Ci Clan.

The Wuliang Royal Court had split into three forces.

Wu Tuo still occupied Yemi City, remaining the most powerful ruler on this grassland. However, he had lost control over the eight major tribes, with only the Liang Wang Clan remaining, while the other seven divided into two forces.

In the East, led by the Ci Clan, were the Tatar Tribe, Wanggu Tribe, and Wula Tribe, these four tribes. In the West, led by the Alaman Tribe, were the Kerelie Tribe and the Huiba Tribe.

Ten years ago, the three forces waged war for several years, but ultimately none could subdue the others, resulting in a standstill.

Fortunately, with the Wuliang Royal Court split, Beiyuan Town had a chance to breathe.

Unfortunately, over ten years had passed and Beiyuan Town’s strength had still not recovered. Zhou Lan was still the General of Beiyuan Town, Song Dashan was the Vice General of Chongshan Town, and Yang Mingzhen, Yang Chengxu, and Yang Chengze continued to serve as Assistant Generals in Beiyuan Town.

With four Innate Martial Artists stationed in Beiyuan Town, logically, the strength of Beiyuan Town should be very strong, but it lacks elite troops.

The losses from the battle over a decade ago were too substantial for Beiyuan Town, and recovery has not yet been achieved.

Since Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi had come, they naturally had to visit Chongshan Town and Beiyuan Town. First, they went to Chongshan Town to see Yang Chengye.

Yang Chengye is now a guerrilla in the Middle Camp of the Chongshan Garrison, residing inside the Chongshan Pass.

Yang Zhenshan did not disturb others, and only met with Yang Chengye. He didn’t stay long with Yang Chengye, staying only three days before leaving.

Chongshan Town remains unchanged, Tang Feihu has already retired to his hometown, and the new General is Niu Zhuang.

The court has sent inspectors to Chongshan Town multiple times over the years, but each inspector invariably ends up marginalized. Not to mention the army, even the Governor’s Office and the Inspector General’s Office are beyond the inspector’s command.

Even changing the governor or inspector general yields the same results, with local government officials being replaced batch after batch, yet Chongshan Town remains unshaken.

Because the Yang Family’s roots in Chongshan Town have become unmovable.

Throughout Chongshan Town, among the household-worthy official positions, the Yang Family occupies thirty percent. It sounds small, but it’s enough for the Yang Family to firmly control Chongshan Town.

And Yang Chengye is no longer a child; now thirty-six years old, he is still the Marquis Jing’an, so the true master of Chongshan Town is not the inspector or the general, but Yang Chengye.
