Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1528 - 951: Jian Changhe and Situ Yuan (Part 2)

The main issue is the weather being too cold, which affects many things.

If the earth fire and array fire are impacted, then alchemy and Qi refinement will also be affected.

Moreover, the cold wave brings not only weather changes but also changes in spiritual energy.

The concentration of water attribute and ice attribute spiritual energy increases, the concentration of fire attribute spiritual energy decreases, wood attribute spiritual energy becomes lazy and is not conducive to absorption, while gold attribute is unusually active.

Cultivators need to choose the right place to cultivate because environmental changes can affect their cultivation.

Yang Zongyuan cultivates a fire attribute technique, so he feels uncomfortable due to the cold.

Of course, this is also because his cultivation is low; if he were a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this minor change in weather would have minimal effect on him.

After Yang Zongyuan returned to the Spirit Source Land, Yang Zhenshan originally intended to return as well. Just as he was about to leave, a communication talisman suddenly appeared outside the small courtyard, repeatedly striking the protective array of the courtyard.

After opening the array, Yang Zhenshan pulled the talisman towards him.

”Jian Changhe is here!”

Yang Zhenshan read the content of the communication talisman with some surprise.

However, his surprise quickly faded.

Jian Changhe coming to White Cloud Immortal City was not unexpected.

He had already conveyed the method to obtain Forget River Dew to Jian Qingxiao, so logically Jian Changhe should have come earlier; he didn’t expect it would take him more than half a year to arrive.

Putting away the communication talisman, Yang Zhenshan slowly walked out of the small courtyard.

Along the snow-covered green stone street, he arrived at a tavern near the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Store doesn’t operate taverns, but it does sell spiritual wine and spiritual tea, as well as some precious ingredients.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Store deals only in high-end industries, like elixirs, usually selling only Second-Order Pills.

A business like a tavern is not something the Ten Thousand Treasures Store would do.

In a private room of the tavern, Yang Zhenshan met Jian Changhe.

”Greetings, Mountain Master!”

”Sit!”

Jian Changhe nodded slightly, indicating for Yang Zhenshan to sit down and speak.

After sitting, Yang Zhenshan asked, ”Did the Mountain Master come here for the Forget River Dew?”

”Indeed!” Jian Changhe looked at him with a faint smile on his face, ”It seems you are doing well at the Ten Thousand Treasures Store!”

Yang Zhenshan shrugged casually and said, ”The Ten Thousand Treasures Store is not bad; there are many fellow cultivators to communicate with!”

Speaking of which, Jian Changhe is also one of his bosses.

However, he has quite a few bosses.

The Illusion Moon Sect is also his boss, as he is still a Guest Elder of the Illusion Moon Sect.

Hidden Sword Mountain is also his boss, as is the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.

Ah, it’s just about getting paid to do a job!

Yang Zhenshan considers himself a competent worker.

He never delays tasks assigned by his bosses.

However, he is a kind of temporary worker; even though he serves as a Guest Elder, he doesn’t fully belong to them.

Be it Hidden Sword Mountain or the Ten Thousand Treasures Store, he cannot enter the core and can only maintain good relations through his Guest Elder status.

Jian Changhe chuckled and asked, ”Are you sure the Ten Thousand Treasures Store has Forget River Dew?”

”Uh, I’m not certain; I only asked a manager at the Ten Thousand Treasures Store, and she said that if you want Forget River Dew, you can only exchange it with a Jie Dan Spirit Object!” Yang Zhenshan replied.

Jian Changhe nodded slightly, ”You’re talking about the manager Zhongli Xiayi?”

”Does the Mountain Master know her?”

”No, I’ve just heard of her!”

”Oh! When I joined the Ten Thousand Treasures Store, it was Fellow Daoist Zhongli who recruited me!” Yang Zhenshan explained.

Jian Changhe thought for a moment and asked, ”Do you know Situ Yuan?”

”Situ Yuan?” Yang Zhenshan shook his head slightly; he hadn’t heard of this name at the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.

”It’s said that he has always stayed in the treasure vault of the Ten Thousand Treasures Store!” Jian Changhe added.

Yang Zhenshan showed a look of surprise, ”Are you talking about that elder in the treasure vault?”

”It should be him; this person has a faint scar at the corner of his eye that is hard to notice unless you look closely!” Jian Changhe said.

Yang Zhenshan exclaimed in surprise, ”So his name is Situ Yuan!”

Well, he really didn’t know what that elder was called.

Mainly, very few people in the Ten Thousand Treasures Store would mention him.

Everyone knows there’s an elder in the treasure vault, but no one knows his identity, background, or name.

Perhaps some know, but no one discusses it.

”Yes, he is the overseer of the Ten Thousand Treasures Store in White Cloud Immortal City!” Jian Changhe said.

Yang Zhenshan was even more surprised.

There are quite a few managers at the Ten Thousand Treasures Store, including three Seventh Rank managers; he had always thought the overseer was one of those three, never expecting it to be the elder from the treasure vault.

”I wish to see him!” Jian Changhe said.

”Well, I can only say I’ll try; I’m not familiar with him!” Yang Zhenshan replied.

Jian Changhe took out a small white jade sword, ”Give this to him; he will see me!”

Yang Zhenshan took the small white jade sword and saw the words ’Heavenly Sword’ carved on it.

This is likely the token of Heavenly Sword True Monarch.

But given that the Heavenly Sword True Monarch has transcended several hundred years ago, does his token still hold any power?

However, since Jian Changhe said so, there’s no harm in trying.

...

Helping Jian Changhe arrange a meeting with Situ Yuan was much simpler than Yang Zhenshan anticipated. He originally thought that after entering the outer array of the treasure vault, he would be interrogated or driven away by Situ Yuan. Unexpectedly, Situ Yuan directly opened the door to the treasure vault and let him in.

In that same small room, Situ Yuan sat in front of a stone table and said calmly, ”Give me the item.”

”Elder knew I would come back?” Yang Zhenshan took out the small white jade sword, unable to suppress his curiosity and asked.
