Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1721: Chapter 1050: Three Years and Then Three More Years

In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.

The turmoil in the Wanhua Mountain Range still hasn’t ended, and it is spreading southward, gradually reaching the central region of the Wanhua Mountain Range.

However, this no longer concerns the Sky Cloud Sword Sect. After withstanding the initial demon beast invasion, the sect’s presence had a deterring effect on many of the demon beast clans. As time went by, fewer and fewer demon beasts fled towards the Yunxiao Mountain Range, and now almost no demon beast dares to invade the territory of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect.

The Sky Cloud Sword Sect gradually returned to peace, and Yang Zhenshan returned to White Cloud Immortal City.

”Welcome back from seclusion, senior brother. Congratulations on your advancement in cultivation!”

In the Jade Sky Hall, Yang Zhenshan, Jian Changhe, Que Lingyu, and Yun Xiao all congratulated White Cloud True Monarch together.

White Cloud True Monarch had been in seclusion for three years, and today he finally emerged, successfully breaking through to the late-stage Golden Core.

Reaching the late-stage Golden Core made him an experienced cultivator among Golden Core cultivators. Although still slightly weaker than those Golden Core Peak monsters, he could now stand and converse with these old monsters on equal footing.

”Hahaha~~! Congratulations to us all!”

White Cloud True Monarch laughed heartily.

”Senior brother’s breakthrough deserves a celebration. It so happens I’ve prepared fine wine and food. Let’s all have a drink together!” Yang Zhenshan said with a smile.

Today was quite rare since Que Lingyu happened to visit White Cloud Immortal City, so Yang Zhenshan called out Yun Xiao, and then they saw White Cloud True Monarch emerging from seclusion. Thus, the five of them gathered together.

Usually, it was rare for the five of them to meet together, as one would be in seclusion and another would have other matters.

”Haha, alright!” White Cloud True Monarch replied promptly.

”What kind of fine wine have you prepared? If it’s poor quality, I won’t drink it!” Que Lingyu said critically.

Yang Zhenshan smiled confidently, ”Dragon Spring Brew!”

”Hasn’t our Yang family been famous for Spiritual Wine in the Sea of Spirit before? Junior Brother Yang’s wine must be fine!” Jian Changhe laughed.

”Hehe, now our Yang family’s fine wine sells well across the entire Wanhua Western Region! Speaking of Spiritual Wine, my Yang family dares to claim the top spot in Wanhua Western Region!” Yang Zhenshan said.

He said it without exaggeration. The tea and wine have always been the best specialties of the Spirit Source Land, and over the past century, the grade of the tea trees in the Spirit Source Land continuously improved while the brewing skills of Spiritual Wine became increasingly formidable.

At the same time, the Yang family’s business expanded throughout the whole Wanhua Western Region. Every workshop of a certain scale sells the Yang family’s Spiritual Tea and Spiritual Wine.

It wasn’t that the Yang family extended their business to every workshop in the Wanhua Western Region, but rather they had many distributors outside that brought the Yang family’s specialties to every corner of the Wanhua Western Region.

Currently, the businesses owned directly by the Yang family are mainly distributed in the Sea of Spirit, Qingli Immortal City, White Cloud Immortal City, and True Yang Immortal City, while other places are handled by local forces.

”Great wine!”

In the hall, as the food and wine were set on the table, White Cloud True Monarch took a sip of the wine and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Jian Changhe also raised his glass to drink, savoring the spicy and smooth taste of the wine as it went down his throat, showing a look of enjoyment.

Dragon Spring Brew is named so because Yang Zhenshan added Deep Sea Yin Spring Juice to it. It is said that in ancient times, many Dragon Beasts loved to reside by the Deep Sea Yin Springs, hence the Deep Sea Yin Spring was also called Dragon Spring.

”Indeed very nice, give me some later to take back!”

Yang Zhenshan was initially smiling, but upon hearing Que Lingyu’s words, his face turned awkward instantly.

”Cough, cough, Senior Sister, it’s not that I’m stingy, but this wine is extremely difficult to brew!”

Deep Sea Yin Spring Juice is a third-stage spiritual object. Although Yang Zhenshan had a considerable amount of Deep Sea Yin Spring Juice, he wasn’t so extravagant as to use it to brew wine on a large scale.

Que Lingyu glanced at him, ”Looking at you being so stingy, I’ll trade you for it; I won’t take it for nothing!”

Saying this, she tossed a jade bottle in front of Yang Zhenshan.

”Green Feather Tree Juice, isn’t this an equitable trade?”

Yang Zhenshan’s eyes lit up, ”Hahaha, definitely not! Senior Sister is generous!”

Green Feather Tree Juice is also a third-stage spiritual object. It’s the sap of that towering tree on Cangyu Mountain. Yang Zhenshan had been coveting it for a long time but was shy to ask for it.

It was rare that this time Que Lingyu actually offered to trade with him.

”By the way, your Yang family must have collected quite a few demon cores this time!” Que Lingyu said.

”Yes, we have quite a few!” Yang Zhenshan nodded.

”After refining them into Demon Essence Pills, give us more. Our Cangyu Mountain will exchange demon cores for them!”

”Top-grade?”

”No need, mid-grade and high-grade will do!”

”No problem!” Yang Zhenshan agreed readily.

”We of Hidden Sword Mountain also want some!” Jian Changhe interjected, ”And give us two top-grade Demon Essence Pills!”

After saying this, he looked eagerly at Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze, ”Cough, cough, there’s only one top-grade!”

The concept of Demon Essence Pills, top-grade and high-grade, is entirely different. A top-grade Demon Essence Pill is a core formation level spiritual object, whereas a high-grade Demon Essence Pill is just a nourishing pill for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Their effects and value are worlds apart, and so is the difficulty of refining them.

Currently, in Spirit Source Land, only Yang Zhenshan could refine top-grade Demon Essence Pills, while Zhang Hexuan and Yang Zongyuan could only produce high-grade ones.

Jian Changhe nodded slightly, ”Well, one is still one!”

White Cloud True Monarch, seeing this scene, said, ”Junior Brother Five, within our own sect, you mustn’t be stingy!”

”Uh, Senior Brother, please don’t make things difficult for your little brother!” Yang Zhenshan said somewhat helplessly.

The Sky Cloud Sword Sect has quite a few alchemists, but in terms of alchemy skills, Yang Zhenshan is unquestionably the best, and besides Yang Zhenshan, Zhang Hexuan serves as the head alchemist at the Sky Cloud Sword Sect.
