Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1039: Chapter 720: Martial Cultivator Workshop Market

“Go tell Lv Hua to take people to the northeast of Ancient County and investigate the power distribution there!” Yang Zhenshan instructed Li Chang beside him.

Xuan Zhen has gone to Xuanqing Sect, Li Shangyuan has also left. At this moment, he only has Li Chang, Wang Lei, Chen Zhongshu, and Lv Hua—four Innate Martial Artists—and more than thirty martial artists at the seventh or eighth level of the Acquired Realm, as well as Tian Hu and the princely heir Wei Qianye.

This force doesn’t mean much in Sea of Spirit, at most it’s considered a small power.

Yang Zhenshan, being new here, wouldn’t simply go to the side of Sea of Spirit to claim a territory.

From his point of view, it’s best to find a foothold near Sea of Spirit. It shouldn’t be too far or too close, about two hundred miles is just right.

The northeast of Ancient County is very good. The Dazhao Dynasty has already perished, Tianque Lu family has just occupied Ancient County and hasn’t had the chance to organize the Martial Arts Families there. This is a good opportunity for Yang Zhenshan to find a place to settle down and then slowly plot.

Before entering Ancient County City, Yang Zhenshan had already sent Chen Zhongshu and Lv Hua out with thirty guards, as both of them excel at gathering information. At this time, what Yang Zhenshan most needed was intelligence about the forces around Sea of Spirit.

So Lv Hua returned to his old trade, gathering intelligence for Yang Zhenshan.

Wang Lei acknowledged and left the restaurant to send a message to Lv Hua.

Yang Zhenshan pondered for a moment in the restaurant before standing up and saying, “Come, let’s visit the martial arts marketplace!”

“You just stay in the guest room and watch the child!”

With that, Yang Zhenshan took Li Chang and left the restaurant.

The Martial Arts Marketplace, as the name implies, is specially set up for martial artists, selling items related to cultivation.

There is a large Martial Arts Marketplace in Ancient County City, which was originally established by the Dazhao royal family, but now has fallen into the hands of the Tianque Lu family.

There are fewer people in the marketplace compared to other streets, after all, martial artists can’t possibly outnumber ordinary people.

However, the marketplace is still bustling, and indeed the Innate Martial Artists are everywhere, with Acquired Martial Artists as plentiful as dogs.

Yang Zhenshan just walked into the marketplace street and sensed a dozen dangerous auras.

Dangerous auras!

This implies that the strength of these dozen people might all surpass his.

It’s been a long time since he felt such an aura, yet here there are so many people giving him a dangerous feeling.

“Damn it, I’m glad I came here, otherwise I’d likely be stuck at the Qi Sea stage my whole life.” Yang Zhenshan secretly complained.

The martial arts in the west of the Stormy Sea Area lack not only the cultivation methods of the Martial God Realm but also part of the Innate Realm.

Here, the Innate Realm is divided into three stages: Qi Sea, Earth Evil, and Heavenly Gang.

Qi Sea means connecting all meridians, condensing Innate True Qi, turning Dantian into Qi Sea, and operating Innate True Qi.

This process isn’t problematic; regardless of being west or east of the Stormy Sea Area, anyone entering the Innate Realm will go through this stage.

But further up is the process of attracting Earth Evil Qi and Heavenly Gang Qi into the body to refine the Golden Body. Such concepts don’t exist in the martial arts on the west of the Stormy Sea Area.

As for manipulating Qi, entering subtleties, and mysterious realms, these levels actually are detailed decompositions of the use of Innate True Qi, and shouldn’t be termed as small realms, they’re simply different levels.

This means Yang Zhenshan’s cultivation is presently at the Qi Sea stage of Innate Martial Artist, and among numerous Innate Martial Artists, he is just a bottom-tier Innate Martial Artist.

Of course, this doesn’t mean Yang Zhenshan’s strength is weak.

Yang Zhenshan has been contemplating an issue for some time. Here, the natural attributes of Dao Intent are referred to as spirituality, and most martial artists begin adapting to spirituality early in their cultivation.

Just like the cultivation technique Tian Hu gave him, the Mystic Fire Glaze Body, which starts adapting to the Fire Attribute from the Body Refining Stage, then cultivates Fire Attribute techniques all along.

Upon reaching the Innate Realm, both the body and True Qi are imprinted with spirituality.

The cultivation methods of Martial God Realm also have spirituality attribute divisions.

Thus, spirituality isn’t rare here; almost every martial artist can comprehend spirituality in the Innate Realm.

But what about the self-cultivation Dao Intent and the sole-self Dao Intent?

What are they?

When Yang Zhenshan asked Tian Hu, Tian Hu didn’t even know about these Dao Intents, but he confirmed that this isn’t spirituality.

Yang Zhenshan’s cultivation is at Qi Sea stage, and his Thunder Dao Intent here isn’t a rare thing, but he has the sole-self spear intent, which is his strongest trump card.

Unfortunately, the cultivation of sole-self spear intent is too difficult. Over the years, Yang Zhenshan’s sole-self spear intent has grown sharper, but hasn’t seen much progress.

After Yang Zhenshan and Li Chang entered the marketplace, they strolled along the street.

The marketplace has many shops selling Spirit Fruits, Spiritual Medicines, Spirit Pills, cultivation techniques, weapons, and various items related to cultivation.

Besides shops, the marketplace also has an area with about a hundred stalls for rent.

Shops are the businesses of sects and families, while martial artists from loose cultivation or small forces can rent a stall to sell things here for just one Spirit Crystal Coin per day.

Yang Zhenshan and Li Chang first found a shop named Spirit Martial Bank.

This bank is a place for exchanging Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystal Coins, not for exchanging gold, silver, or Copper Coins.
