Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1112: Chapter 754: Ten-Thousand-Year Ancient Trees (Part 2)

Leaving the peak where the Transmission Hall is located, one man and ten wolves swiftly shuttled through the forest.

With ten Green Wolves beside him, Yang Zhenshan didn’t need to be so cautious anymore.

No matter what kind of mutant beast it was, encountering these ten Green Wolves left them no choice but to run, and as for the martial artists who came here, they would run even faster.

The cave area was in the southwest part of the entire ancient array, and Yang Zhenshan reached here in just half a day.

”Go, first search for spiritual objects. Bring back what you can carry, if it’s not possible, come back and inform me!”

”If you encounter humans, just chase them away.”

Yang Zhenshan had no intention of killing and seizing treasures; mainly, it wasn’t necessary.

Those who could come here wouldn’t be without skills.

Fighting with them was too risky; it was better to just scrape the surface honestly.

Indeed, Yang Zhenshan was just here to scrape the surface.

Nine Green Wolves dispersed, while Yang Zhenshan and the Green Wolf King hid beneath a large tree, quietly waiting.

Very soon, a Green Wolf returned with a stalk of spiritual medicine.

Yang Zhenshan didn’t recognize this spiritual medicine, but as long as it contained spirituality, it was considered spiritual medicine.

After some simple training, the Green Wolves had a proper method of gathering spiritual medicine. Not only did they not damage the herb’s branches and leaves, they even dug up the entire roots and stalk.

Yang Zhenshan, without a second thought, directly tossed the spiritual medicine into the Spirit Source Land.

At this moment, in the Spirit Source Land, next to the Medicinal Garden north of Longevity City, Yang Mingcheng was already waiting with a group of people.

Suddenly, a stalk of spiritual medicine appeared on the table beside Yang Mingcheng.

This spiritual medicine was about three feet high, with a semi-transparent crystal-like trunk, inside which flowed starry lights like a galaxy. The trunk’s top split into nine spiral branches, each ending with a fist-sized jade-colored bud, with petals as thin as cicada wings but having a metallic sheen.

Seeing the appearance of the spiritual medicine, Yang Mingcheng immediately beamed with joy, ”It’s here, Mingzhe, come quickly and see what kind of spiritual medicine this is?”

Wang Mingzhe stepped forward to take a closer look, ”I don’t recognize it!”

”Hahaha, let’s find a spot to plant it first!” Yang Mingcheng was not disappointed by Wang Mingzhe’s unfamiliarity; in fact, he was pleased.

Wang Mingzhe’s unfamiliarity meant the Spirit Source Land didn’t have such spiritual medicine.

With this one, the Spirit Source Land would have an additional type of spiritual medicine in the future.

As for its effects and usage, that was not urgent; it could be researched over time.

Very quickly, a few youngsters carefully approached and took the spiritual medicine to plant it at a spot in the Medicinal Garden.

Subsequently, stalk after stalk of spiritual medicine appeared, some recognized by Wang Mingzhe and others not, but regardless of whether they were familiar or not, they were all transplanted to the Medicinal Garden.

Within the ancient array, a Green Wolf suddenly placed a few bird eggs in front of Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan was taken aback, ”What are these?”

”Woo woo~~” the Green Wolf howled a few times.

Yang Zhenshan picked up the bird eggs and examined them. They were about the size of chicken eggs, six in total, and emitted a faint spiritual essence inside, likely eggs of some mutant beast.

Regardless of what they were, Yang Zhenshan directly sent them to the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau, handing them over to Yu Qingyi.

He had just come out from the Spirit Source Land when San Lang ran over, howling twice, then dashed towards the west again.

Yang Zhenshan knew that it must have found a spiritual object it couldn’t bring, and wanted him to fetch it.

Following San Lang through the thick forest, Yang Zhenshan soon arrived in front of a lush forest.

San Lang began howling again at that forest area. Yang Zhenshan was slightly stunned. What does this mean?

”Where is the spiritual object you found?”

”Howl howl~~” San Lang bit towards a tree.

Yang Zhenshan stepped forward to inspect the tree it was biting, and found himself utterly bewildered.

He slowly looked up, staring at the vast forest in front, his mouth wide open, eyes filled with shock.

Spirit Trees!

All in front were Spirit Trees!

Hundreds of Spirit Trees.

Each one was a towering giant, each with a tree age of at least a thousand, if not several thousand years.

”You really found so many spiritual objects!”

Spirit Trees naturally qualify as spiritual objects. Although they do not produce edible spirit fruits, every Spirit Tree is incredibly valuable.

Their leaves, branches, bark, roots, flowers, and fruits could all serve as medicinal materials or be used in other ways.

Just like the Ten-thousand-year-old Rong on Divine Wood Island, even though it is not a Spirit Tree, each part of it still holds value.

The Spirit Trees before him were naturally more valuable than the Ten-thousand-year-old Rong.

More importantly, these were genuine Spirit Trees, potentially having grown for tens of thousands of years.

This meant they could serve as spiritual objects for Wood Attribute Martial Artists to forge their Spirit Bases.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhenshan’s heart brimmed with excitement. In a flash, he dashed into the forest.

Moments later, he returned.

”Among them, thirty-six are arranged in order, artificially planted, meaning they were planted by an ancient sect ten thousand years ago!”

”The rest grew freely over these ten thousand years!”

”Judging by their appearance, they should be a kind of phoenix tree, but unfortunately, I don’t know its specific name or its uses!”

Yang Zhenshan’s eyes brightened more and more.

Thirty-six ancient trees of ten-thousand-year age need no further explanation, they must be used as spiritual objects for Wood attribute martial artists to forge their Spirit Bases. Besides, there are hundreds of ancient trees with a tree age of over a thousand years.

With these trees, the Spirit Source Land would no longer lack spiritual objects needed by Wood Attribute Martial Artists to forge their Spirit Bases in the future.

Previously, Yang Zhenshan was still considering what spiritual objects to use to forge a Spirit Base and shape a Golden Body.

He considered the Three Yellow Plums of Sanshan Valley, the Ten-thousand-year-old Rong of Divine Wood Island, and even the Dao Intent Sacred Lotus in Spiritual Spring Lake were within his consideration.

However, they all seemed unsuitable for forging a Spirit Base.

But now, with so many ancient trees of thousand or ten-thousand-year age, Yang Zhenshan would no longer need to worry!

At the very least, he wouldn’t need to worry about the spiritual objects needed for Wood Attribute Martial Artists to forge their Spirit Bases, but for other attributes, the concern still remains.

”Call all your little brothers here!” Yang Zhenshan instructed.

The Green Wolf King let out a howl, and soon, the other eight Green Wolves returned.

Yang Zhenshan leapt onto a giant tree, scrutinizing the surroundings.

This seemed to be at the edge of the ancient array, plus the surrounding cave dwellings were not of much value, which probably explains why they weren’t marked on the Lu family map.

”You two, go over there. If anyone comes, bite them directly, and if you can’t take them down, call for backup!”

”You two, go over there!”

...

Yang Zhenshan gave orders, sending out all nine Green Wolves for vigilance, leaving only the Green Wolf King by his side.

Then he returned to the Spirit Source Land once again.

”Father!”

Yang Mingcheng rushed forward as soon as he saw Yang Zhenshan appear abruptly.

”Summon the Protection and Law Enforcement Teams for me!” Yang Zhenshan ordered.

”Yes!” Seeing his father so serious, Yang Mingcheng immediately complied.

”Also, send word to the Clan Hall to gather all available people.” Yang Zhenshan added.

There were so many ancient trees, and relying just on him and the Green Wolves made it uncertain how long it would take to dig them all, so he needed to mobilize the Spirit Source Land’s manpower to dig up the trees.

Not only did they need to be dug out, but also transplanted into the Spirit Source Land.

Upon Yang Zhenshan’s orders, the entire Spirit Source Land was put into motion.

A large number of sturdy martial artists came to the eastern clearing of Longevity City.

Yang Mingwu, Yang Chengche, Yang Chengze, Yang Chengxu, etc., arrived one after another.

What the Spirit Source Land didn’t lack was sturdy martial artists. The number of Innate Martial Artists was about seven to eight hundred, but there were tens of thousands of Postnatal Martial Artists.

Excluding those occupied with errands, Yang Zhenshan could mobilize twenty thousand men at any time.

”Ming Wu, Chengze, take ten thousand men to dig pits here, dig one every thirty feet, each pit must be at least five feet deep, and three feet wide!”

Having arranged the affairs in the Spirit Source Land, Yang Zhenshan led the people to the phoenix tree forest within the ancient array.

The ten-thousand-year-old ancient trees tower at thirty to forty feet, with trunks two feet thick. Digging them all out was no easy task.

But with many hands, there’s much power. Yang Zhenshan didn’t bring too many people, only two thousand.

With ten or so people digging one tree, there shouldn’t be a large problem.

Soon, the once silent forest became bustling.

A group of Postnatal Martial Artists huffed and puffed, digging up the soil.

Martial artists naturally worked faster than ordinary people.

On the first day, they dug out several dozen ancient trees with relatively short ages.

The shorter age was relative as it was at least several hundred years old. As for younger trees, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t bother with them right now.
