Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1372: Chapter 877: My Heart Cannot Rest Until This Grudge Is Avenged!

Yue E pondered for a moment, looked at everyone, and said, “What are your thoughts?”

As the Sect Master, Yue Qing was the first to speak, “Master, I believe that Master Yang’s proposal is not without merit. We have been separated from Hidden Sword Mountain for three hundred years, and Hidden Sword Mountain should recognize the current situation!”

“That’s right, as long as those old elders of Hidden Sword Mountain aren’t completely senile, they should understand that mutual benefit is the best choice right now!” Yue Ming also agreed.

Yue Su’s expression was cold, “Even if Hidden Sword Mountain disagrees, it doesn’t matter. We can still ally with the Nether Prison Sect!”

They were still apprehensive about Hidden Sword Mountain, as it has always aimed to regain control over their three major sects.

However, when faced with crisis and profit, they were willing to join forces with Hidden Sword Mountain to confront it.

The elders all expressed their opinions, but they were generally of the same idea.

After listening to everyone’s views, Yue E nodded slightly, “I will communicate with the Xuanqing Sect and the Wuxiang Sect. As for the specifics, it will depend on their attitudes!”

The meeting was adjourned, and Yang Zhenshan returned to the Spirit Source Land.

As the saying goes, the tall one may shoulder the burden when the sky falls; no matter what happens to the Sea of Spirit, it would not fall under his jurisdiction.

Upon returning to the Spirit Source Land, Yang Zhenshan first checked on Yang Cheng’an.

After several days of recuperation, Yang Cheng’an’s injuries have mostly healed, but he injured his Primordial Qi this time, and it might take several months for a full recovery.

In contrast, Yang Jishan’s injuries were rather troublesome. Although the fire poison in his body had been treated, the urgency at that time did not allow for thorough cleansing, thus leaving a lot of residual fire poison in his system, which had penetrated his bone marrow, making complete removal very difficult.

Yang Zhenshan personally refined a batch of Second-Order Detoxification Pills for Yang Jishan and delivered them to him.

“Thank you, Ancestor, for taking the trouble!” Yang Jishan held the Detoxification Pills handed over by Yang Zhenshan, feeling grateful and pleasantly surprised.

Yang Zhenshan patted his shoulder and smiled, “Just rest well during this period. Once the remaining poison in your body is cleared, you can go to the Artifact Foundry!”

Yang Jishan had been by Yang Jizhen’s side for over a decade, working diligently, and having suffered such a great ordeal this time, he naturally deserved a reward.

At Spirit Source Land, the rewards and penalties were clear. Someone like Yang Jishan could be promoted at least three levels, ascending from a third-level steward to the rank of Vice Hall Master.

Currently, the Artifact Refining Hall of the Spirit Source Land comprises many workshops, like the Artifact Foundry responsible for forging spiritual weapons such as swords and spears, the Bow and Arrow Workshop specialized in making bows and arrows, and the Array Device Workshop mainly focused on crafting array instruments, which, though not very large in scale, primarily engages in research.

There are also the Armor Workshop, Equipment Workshop, Boat and Car Workshop, among others.

With the establishment of the Twelve Floors, the various departments of Spirit Source Land have undergone detailed divisions.

In terms of personnel arrangements, there is also more precise responsibility division, fully leveraging each individual’s expertise while nurturing specialized talents.

For instance, those specializing in forging armor only focus on forging armor. Though this approach does not cultivate them into formidable Artifact Refiners, it allows a person’s skill in armor forging to reach a very high level, far exceeding the ordinary standard.

Yang Jishan excelled in forging various weapons, which is why Yang Zhenshan directed him to the Artifact Foundry, rather than other departments.

After leaving Yang Jishan, Yang Zhenshan and Yang Jizhen returned together to the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau.

“Your cultivation has reached the Qi Refining Eighth Layer. From now on, don’t go out. Just stay at home and cultivate diligently. Strive to establish your Foundation as soon as possible!” Yang Zhenshan said.

Yang Jizhen was already in his forties this year, having cultivated the Immortal Path for over thirty years, progressing from a naive boy to achieving a cultivation level of the Qi Refining Eighth Layer.

This pace of cultivation is neither fast nor slow.

Foundation Establishment in immortal cultivation differs from Martial Artists casting Spirit Base and Golden Body; for Martial Artists, the deeper the foundation, the better, and as long as their vitality hasn’t diminished, taking more time is not a concern.

But Foundation Establishment for immortal cultivators is best achieved early; the earlier it is done, the greater the potential and future growth space.

In the White Cloud Immortal City, for immortal cultivators, sixty years of age is a crucial point. Establishing a Foundation before sixty signifies potential to impact the Golden Core Realm, but after sixty, the chances become exceedingly slim.

Of course, this is not absolute. In fact, over the two thousand years of the White Cloud Immortal City, there has only been one White Cloud True Monarch.

Thus, regardless of age, the opportunity to reach the Golden Core Realm is exceedingly slim.

“Ancestor, should I seek the opportunity for a Foundation Establishment Pill?” Yang Jizhen had his own plans; establishing a Foundation requires a Foundation Establishment Pill, and with his current cultivation of the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, it’s time to start preparing for it.

Yang Zhenshan looked at him in surprise, “Foundation Establishment Pill? I’ve prepared it for you, so why would you need to search for it?”

“Prepared?” Yang Jizhen was stunned.

He truly did not know that Yang Zhenshan had a Foundation Establishment Pill. When Yang Zhenshan was refining Foundation Establishment Pills, he had just started cultivating, and he had not practiced Alchemy, only knowing that Yang Zhenshan could refine Foundation Establishment Pills, but was unaware of how many Yang Zhenshan had refined.

Hence, he thought of seeking Foundation Establishment Pill resources himself; even if he couldn’t obtain the Pill, he could collect some medicinal materials for Yang Zhenshan to help refine the Pill.

Yang Zhenshan chuckled, “Not just yours; your fellow disciples’ Foundation Establishment Pills are prepared as well. Rest assured, we’re not short on Foundation Establishment Pills!”
