Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1264: Chapter 825: Divine Soul Technique (2)

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s about Jizhen and Qiuyan!” Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhenshan was taken aback and looked at Ma Qiuyan, who was blushing and shyly keeping her head down.

What does that mean?

When did these two apprentices develop personal feelings?

Yang Jizhen is already twenty-five years old, it’s about time for him to get married, and Ma Qiuyan is now twenty.

If they hadn’t been cultivating at the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau, their families might have long since arranged a marriage for them.

“As long as they’re willing, that’s fine. I have no objections as their master!”

Yang Zhenshan certainly wouldn’t break up a loving couple. Moreover, when he intended to recruit Spiritual Acupoints from outside, it was precisely to let them marry into the Yang family, thus giving birth to more Spiritual Acupoints for the Yang family.

The marriage between Yang Jizhen and Ma Qiuyan perfectly aligns with his intentions, so he certainly wouldn’t oppose it.

“That’s good. I’ll have the Clan Hall handle the arrangements and get their marriage sorted out!” Yu Qingyi smiled.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, “Hmm, how about Yun’er? Has she found any young man she fancies?”

Ning Yun was playfully teasing the shy Ma Qiuyan, not expecting Yang Zhenshan to suddenly turn the topic to her.

“Ah, Master, I’m still young, there’s no rush!”

She replied, blushing and waving her hands repeatedly.

Yang Zhenshan laughed, “Isn’t your Senior Brother Cui Yang a good choice?”

“Senior Brother Cui? Ah, Master, don’t tease me!” Ning Yun was on the verge of tears.

“…”

Yang Zhenshan was speechless for a moment.

Alright, Cui Yang does indeed seem unreliable.

Cui Yang is very smart, but he has a bit of an obsession.

An obsession with cultivation.

Such a person is bound to go further on the path of immortality, but when it comes to personal relationships, he is clearly not a suitable choice.

Ning Yun came from an official family; although she was only eight when she arrived at the Spirit Source Land, her character was already developed, making her appear more like a refined lady than an Immortal Cultivator.

Therefore, her incompatibility with Cui Yang is not unexpected.

“Then you can choose on your own! I still hope you get married someday! Of course, I won’t force you; I just hope you find a satisfying and suitable man!”

Yang Zhenshan hopes these Spiritual Acupoints can marry into the Yang family but will not demand or force them.

As time goes on, more and more Spiritual Acupoints from Da’an will come. Now, there are already more than twenty Spiritual Acupoint holders in the Spirit Source Land.

However, most of them are relatively older, and Yang Zhenshan hasn’t taken them as apprentices.

Yang Zhenshan wants to recruit seven apprentices, with the requirements being high talent and young age; he won’t accept apprentices over twenty years old.

The arrangement for these Spiritual Acupoints is quite straightforward; those with families move to the Spirit Source Land, while those without start families there.

Yang Zhenshan wants to increase the birth rate of Spiritual Acupoints in the Spirit Source Land, but this process is very long, not something achievable in a day or two, taking at least hundreds of years and spanning dozens of generations.

Moreover, when it comes to marriage, if forced, it often leads to unhappiness and resentment.

Thus, Yang Zhenshan’s principle is that once they arrive at the Spirit Source Land, things should take their natural course.

“Master, I understand!” Ning Yun replied obediently.

The refined lady demeanor is just the surface of this girl; she is quite lively, in contrast to Ma Qiuyan, whose personality is softer.

Yang Zhenshan chuckled and turned to walk into the study.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so do apprentices.

Besides cultivation, as long as their moral character isn’t misguided, Yang Zhenshan seldom intervenes in his apprentices’ personal matters.

In fact, Yu Qingyi, as the teacher’s wife, puts more thought into apprentices’ affairs; she manages many things, but ultimately, the Clan Hall is responsible for handling any real matters.

Entering the study, Yang Zhenshan opened the letters and documents that had arrived in the past few days, casting a casual glance.

The Clan Hall has been busy mining operations this period; the Ancient Relic Array is basically almost cleaned out, except for the immovable Transmission Hall and mineral veins; the Clan Hall practically dug three feet down.

All sorts of broken Array Plates, Magic Artifacts, towering trees, even the ruins of palaces and pavilions were all entirely moved to the Spirit Source Land by the Clan Hall, not leaving even a tile.

Don’t underestimate the remaining tiles in those ruins; they are tiles used by Ancient Times Immortal Sect, made of glazed material infused with Spiritual Power, undamaged for ten thousand years.

There are also bricks, beams; many wooden beams have decayed, but many stone pillars remain intact.

These stone pillars contain arrays and restrictions, useful both as research material for the Secret Skill Pavilion and as building materials for constructions in the Spirit Source Land.

As for the mineral veins, naturally, they mine as much as possible, while the Transmission Hall is under constant study by the Array Formation Department, though with little progress.

The array of the Transmission Hall is far beyond the current Spirit Source Land’s array level.

According to the Array Formation Department’s research, the outer Protective Array of the Ancient Relic Array and the Transmission Hall’s array are connected with the Earth Veins, which also involve underground mineral veins, water veins, and spirit veins, maintaining these two arrays unbroken for ten thousand years.

This is a typical High-level ground array, likely a Fourth-order Great Array.

With such an array, unlocking it, or even finding a small flaw, is beyond the capabilities of the Spirit Source Land.

Thousands of years of guarding this Great Array by Hidden Sword Mountain, Lingxiu, and the Three Sects, haven’t managed to break it either.
