Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1019: Chapter 711: Raising Mutant Beasts

Time quickly moved to the twenty-eighth year of the Spirit Origin.

Standing on the Spirit Spring Mountain plateau and looking down, you can see many buildings sprouting along both banks of the Spirit River.

Especially under the Spirit Spring Falls, a majestic palace stands tall; that is the Clan Hall of the Spirit Source Land.

The Clan Hall faces south, located on the west bank of the Spirit River. The previously somewhat steep hillside has been paved with green stone to form a large platform, four or five miles long, extending southward along the Spirit River.

In front of the Clan Hall are the stations of each hall, each having a government office of its own.

On the east bank of the Spirit River are beautifully landscaped courtyards, where the main branches of each family reside.

Yang Zhenshan gazed at the winding Spirit River below, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.

Spiritual Spring Space!

No, it should be called Spirit Source Land from now on.

After eight years of migration and construction, the Spirit Source Land finally has some liveliness, no longer empty as before.

The current population of the Spirit Source Land has exceeded fifty thousand, with Longevity City being the most densely populated area. Additionally, new villages and towns, as well as new cities, are being built downstream of the Spirit River.

Screech~~

As Yang Zhenshan was surveying the vibrant scene below, a loud eagle screech resounded in the air, followed by a gust of wind blowing against his back.

Yang Zhenshan turned around to see a fierce bird with a wingspan exceeding one zhang rushing toward him. The bird wasn’t intending to attack him but was awkwardly trying to land behind him.

However, it seemed to have some trouble managing its landing posture and directly crashed toward Yang Zhenshan.

"Blockhead, stop now!"

A crisp and melodious voice sounded from atop the fierce bird.

Yang Zhenshan shook his head helplessly inside, reaching out to stop the Flying Slave Eagle from almost falling off the cliff.

"Hehe, Grandpa!" Yang Wanqi jumped down, smiling innocently.

"You rascal, didn’t I tell you not to ride the Flying Slave Eagle? How dare you still ride it?" Yang Zhenshan scolded with a stern face.

However, Yang Wanqi was not afraid of his scolding at all, instead saying with a cheeky smile, "Sky Cloud has grown a lot; it can carry me into the sky just fine! It’s just a bit clumsy when landing!"

Sky Cloud is the name of the Flying Slave Eagle before them. Initially, Yu Qingyi raised six Flying Slave Eagles to facilitate sea communication, and now the Yang family has dozens of Flying Slave Eagles that can deliver messages across the vast sea.

Yang Wanqi loved playing with the Flying Slave Eagles when she was little. When she grew up, she dreamt of riding them into the sky. At that time, she was still small and lightweight, so the eagles could carry her.

But now she is eighteen years old, and even though Sky Cloud, due to living in the Spirit Source Land, has a far superior constitution to an ordinary Flying Slave Eagle, carrying her into the sky remains quite difficult.

Seeing the aggrieved Flying Slave Eagle, Yang Zhenshan resisted the urge to facepalm.

What a fated bond!

Yang Wanqi seemed to be sparring with this Flying Slave Eagle, pondering daily on how to let it take her into the sky.

"Grandpa, give it one more Soul-attaching Pill; I feel it’s just a step away from carrying me to soar through the sky!" Yang Wanqi cooed at Yang Zhenshan.

The Flying Slave Eagle and the Wind Attribute Soul-attaching Pill are simply a perfect match. Once the eagle can control the wind, its flying ability and load capacity can significantly improve.

This Flying Slave Eagle had already taken two Soul-attaching Pills and could control the wind, but evidently, its ability wasn’t strong enough yet to perform wind-riding flight, only managing to use some wind force awkwardly.

Looking at his adorable, pleading little granddaughter and then at the Flying Slave Eagle, eyes wide with anticipation, Yang Zhenshan’s mouth twitched slightly.

"This is the last one; don’t ask me for more Soul-attaching Pills after this!" Yang Zhenshan said as he handed a Wind Attribute Soul-attaching Pill to Yang Wanqi.

His words carried little conviction, since he had stated the same thing last time. But whenever he saw his granddaughter acting cute and pleading, he couldn’t help but relent.

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Yang Wanqi cheerfully took the Porcelain Bottle, then happily approached the Flying Slave Eagle, pouring the Elixir from the bottle into the eagle’s mouth.

After consuming the Soul-attaching Pill, the Flying Slave Eagle joyously screeched.

Its joyful demeanor was indeed a mirror of Yang Wanqi’s.

"Alright, you’re about to get married and still acting so childishly!" Yang Zhenshan said, half exasperated, half amused.

Yang Wanqi’s wedding was already set, and she would be getting married next month. Her future husband was none other than Wang Mingzhe’s youngest son, Wang Chengyun.

This wasn’t a marriage arranged by Yang Zhenshan but rather the result of mutual attraction and free love between the two young people.

To this, Yang Zhenshan, of course, wouldn’t forcefully separate them but was happy to see it.

In the Spirit Source Land, marrying within the clan is commonplace. Although numerous families reside in the Spirit Source Land, if you trace the connections closely, you’ll find they’re all relatives.

"Grandpa!" Yang Wanqi called out shyly.

Yang Zhenshan chuckled while stroking his beard, no longer teasing her. "Alright, I have something to attend to, won’t fool around with you anymore!"

After speaking, he walked toward the direction of the Spirit Spring Lake.

Beside the Spirit Spring Lake, Yu Qingyi was tending to over a dozen eagle chicks. Over these years, Yu Qingyi had raised many Flying Slave Eagles, most of which she gave to Divine Wood Island and the Yang family’s business as messengers.

Some she kept on the back hills of the Spirit Spring Lake, where there was a huge eagle’s nest housing seven adult Flying Slave Eagles and more than a dozen in their growth phase.
