Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1040: Chapter 720: Martial Cultivator Workshop Market (Part 2)

Yang Zhenshan and Li Chang had been inside for less than a quarter of an hour when they walked out carrying a small bag of Spirit Crystal Coins.

One Spirit Stone was exchanged for a hundred Spirit Crystal Coins.

Yang Zhenshan held a Spirit Crystal Coin and inspected it.

The Spirit Crystal Coin was gray-black in color, with starry white crystal granules scattered across its surface, likely being pressed from Spirit Stone fragments, with rune patterns engraved on the coin’s surface. The front was stamped with the characters ’Illusion Moon’, while the back had a crescent moon emblem.

This is the Spirit Crystal Coin produced by the Illusion Moon Sect!

Minting money?

Just the thought made Yang Zhenshan involuntarily swallow.

The profit from these should be substantial!

The three Major Sects not only possess Spirit Stone Mines but also the right to mint coins.

With these two things in hand, it’s equivalent to an endless stream of resources flowing continuously into the three Major Sects.

Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but look back enviously at the Spirit Martial Bank.

But envy was all he could afford right now; he didn’t have the ability to snatch food from the mouths of the three Major Sects yet.

Placing the Spirit Crystal Coins in his pocket, Yang Zhenshan and Li Chang began to wander around the workshop, inquiring about the prices of various items and examining those they had never seen before.

Unexpectedly, Yang Zhenshan soon discovered many ways to make money that suited him.

The simplest way was selling Spirit Fruits.

A single Spirit Fruit can sell for at least thirty Spirit Crystals, while attribute Spirit Fruits go for no less than eighty Spirit Crystals.

Yang Zhenshan possesses four types of attribute Spirit Fruits: Ice Heart Fruit, Wind Spirit Fruit, Nether Light Fruit, and Dragon Bone Fruit. The Ice Heart Fruit and Wind Spirit Fruit are fairly common, priced around ninety Spirit Crystals, while the Nether Light Fruit and Dragon Bone Fruit are rarer and can sell for over a Spirit Stone each.

Yang Zhenshan now owns a large number of Spirit Fruits; if he sells them all, he could earn at least several thousand Spirit Stones.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhenshan’s previously gloomy mood improved significantly.

Of course, he’s not foolish enough to sell that many Spirit Fruits.

He understands the principle of "having a treasure invites trouble."

Selling twenty or thirty Spirit Fruits should be fine, ideally if they’re all the same kind, to avoid drawing attention.

Apart from Spirit Fruits, his alcoholic drinks and teas could also be sold.

This place has similar offerings, with effects probably very much like Spiritual Spring Water.

Spiritual Spring Water is actually similar to Spirit Stones; both are infused with Spiritual Energy.

"Spiritual Spring Water, Spirit Stones!"

Yang Zhenshan left a liquor shop deep in thought.

"Could there be a Spiritual Spring under the Sea of Spirit?"

"If there is, then the water in the Sea of Spirit must be Spiritual Spring Water?"

"No, it’s more likely that although the Sea of Spirit has a Spiritual Spring, its water might be diluted Spiritual Spring Water because river water flows into the Sea of Spirit!"

"Then the Spirit Land surrounding the Sea of Spirit must be similar to Spirit Source Land, right?"

"If that’s the case, don’t I already own a Sea of Spirit?"

"Hehe~~"

Yang Zhenshan secretly rejoiced.

His Spirit Source Land might not be inferior to the Sea of Spirit; it might even surpass it.

The Spirit Source Land is somewhat smaller than the Sea of Spirit, though.

The Spirit Source Land currently has a radius of just over a hundred miles, so in terms of area, it’s not as large as the Sea of Spirit, let alone its surrounding regions.

Yet he has two Spiritual Springs now, with an abundance of Spiritual Spring Water that’s practically inexhaustible.

Moreover, he can cultivate various Spirit Plants in large quantities, which is almost equivalent to having endless resources.

Thinking about this, Yang Zhenshan immediately began purchasing in the marketplace, buying one of every unknown Spirit Fruit he encountered, and if there were seeds of other Spirit Plants, he bought some.

Especially Spirit Rice seeds, of which he bought ten pounds.

Spirit Rice is likely the most common and low-grade Spirit Plant, as one Spirit Crystal can buy a pound.

The effects of Spirit Rice are also the most gentle, suitable for consumption by ordinary people.

As for the benefits of Spirit Rice, it strengthens the foundation and nourishes the body.

Eating it has no downsides, just benefits, and there’s no fear of overconsumption having adverse effects.

If one could eat Spirit Rice every day, it wouldn’t be much different from drinking Spiritual Spring Water daily.

"Shopkeeper, are there any taboos when planting Spirit Rice?"

In the grain store, Yang Zhenshan consulted the Shopkeeper.

The Shopkeeper wasn’t surprised by the question and cordially replied, "Spirit Rice can only be grown in Spirit Fields; you should be aware of this, right?"

"I know!" Yang Zhenshan nodded.

"Yes, the planting of Spirit Rice is no different from regular rice, but be cautious: Spirit Rice cannot be irrigated with well water, as it’s too cold and can affect the growth of Spirit Rice!"

"If possible, it’s best to use rainwater for watering, and using rainwater summoned by Rainmaking Skill works too!"

The Shopkeeper added, "During the seedling and flowering stages of Spirit Rice, avoid using Growth Skill; with proper care, high-grade Spirit Fields can yield every two years, medium-grade fields every three, and low-grade fields might take seven to eight years if they’re overly barren."

"Although the cultivation of Spirit Rice is much easier than other Spirit Plants, careful nurturing is still necessary for a bountiful harvest!"

Perhaps business wasn’t busy today, so the Shopkeeper was quite leisurely in chatting with Yang Zhenshan.

"I see, where can I buy this Rainmaking Skill and Growth Skill?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

"You can purchase them at the Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion next door, though I’d advise checking the stalls first; their prices are often much lower." The Shopkeeper kindly suggested.

This Shopkeeper was also an Innate Martial Artist, although his age seemed substantial, likely between one hundred twenty and thirty.

In this area, because Innate Martial Artists consume a lot of Spiritual Objects, they typically surpass one hundred fifty years in lifespan, and living to two hundred isn’t uncommon.

"I see, well then, I’ll take a stroll in the Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion next door!" Yang Zhenshan smiled.

"By the way, may I ask your surname, Shopkeeper?"

"Haha, the humble surname is Zhang." The Shopkeeper stroked his beard and laughed.

Yang Zhenshan offered a salute with clasped hands, "Yang Zhenshan greets Brother Zhang!"

"Haha, so courteous, Brother Yang, feel free to frequent my shop anytime for your needs!" Zhang Congye laughed.

"Certainly, farewell!" Yang Zhenshan left the grain store with a smile.

The surname Zhang!

One of the Twelve Families!

Indeed, the industries here are either owned by the three Major Sects or one of the Twelve Families.

Leaving the grain store, Yang Zhenshan turned the corner and entered the Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion next door.

As the name suggests, the Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion specializes in selling Cultivation Techniques.

Cultivation Techniques for the Martial God Realm are rare, but ordinary ones aren’t hard to find.

However, complete sets of Cultivation Techniques are quite uncommon.

For example, the set of Cultivation Techniques in the Storage Bag given by Tian Hu would be difficult to acquire.

Of course, one could collect individual techniques to eventually assemble a complete set.

The Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion was much grander than the adjacent grain store, with its three-story building featuring red lacquered columns and gilded flying eaves—a magnificent sight. Yet, what intrigued Yang Zhenshan most were the runes etched on the pavilion’s floors and walls.

This must be an Array!

"What Cultivation Technique are you looking for, sir?"

As soon as Yang Zhenshan stepped into the Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion, a pretty young lady greeted him.

The lady appeared to be in her early twenties, with eyebrows like paintings and a complexion like ice and jade, exuding an ethereal aura. Her lively eyes were as clear as a cool autumn stream.

This lady wasn’t ordinary; she wore a plain yet elegant moon-white pleated skirt, each fold intricately outlined with faint ink markings, gracefully swaying like moonlight as she walked.

The fabric must be some kind of Spiritual Material, which Yang Zhenshan couldn’t identify, but he knew it must be expensive. He had visited a fabric store earlier, where everything was extraordinary.

A thought flashed through Yang Zhenshan’s mind.

In this world, Martial Artists and ordinary people are completely segregated, evident in their clothing, food, and daily life.

That thought quickly passed, and he said, "May I browse freely?"

He glanced at the bookshelves behind the lady, which didn’t contain paper books but bamboo tubes. Each bamboo tube was simply marked with the name and traits of the Cultivation Technique, along with mysterious runes.

"Of course!" The lady flashed a gentle smile and gestured invitingly.

Yang Zhenshan wasn’t reserved; he walked directly over, scanning the various bamboo tubes on the bookshelf.
