Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1057: Chapter 728: The Delightful Body Nourishing Method

No way!

Yang Zhenshan’s mind stirred slightly, then he turned to look at Yang Xiangheng and asked, "What does it mean to prohibit the annexation of spirit fields?"

He felt that there should be other implications. Even though he had been here for almost two months and more or less understood the rules between the forces in the Sea of Spirit, he hadn’t completely changed his way of thinking. Many thoughts would naturally follow his previous mindset.

"Does it mean prohibition of mutual attacks among Martial Arts Families?" Yang Xiangheng said.

"This does not say prohibition of fighting!" Yang Zhenshan replied.

Yang Xiangheng’s face, however, showed a hint of delight as he said, "It’s not about prohibiting fighting; it’s prohibiting attacks, meaning outsiders are not allowed to invade Lingxi Mountain."

So that’s what it means!

Mutual attacks among Martial Arts Families ultimately result in spirit fields changing hands.

For instance, once the Nanqing Xiang family breaches Lingxi Mountain, the spirit fields on Lingxi Mountain belong to the Xiang family. No matter how the Xiang family tries to cover it up, the fact remains, and even if someone tries to exploit a loophole, the Lu family is no fool and would not tolerate it.

Hence, the prohibition on the annexation of spirit fields is essentially a prohibition against attacking the locations of each family’s spirit fields.

As for fighting or killing, that is beyond the scope of this prohibition.

This is a good thing for the Lingxi Yang Family, giving them a five-year reprieve, freeing them from constant worry about the Nanqing Xiang family attacking Lingxi Mountain.

However, this doesn’t mean the Nanqing Xiang family will spare the Lingxi Yang Family. They can’t attack openly, but covert attacks, ambushes, and other tactics are still possible.

As for why the Lu family is doing this!

It’s actually easy to understand. Right now, Lu Fusheng hasn’t broken through yet, so the Lu family isn’t a major Family, and their foundation in the Ancient County hasn’t stabilized.

Perhaps the Lu family has support behind them, but to ensure they firmly occupy the Ancient County, they must try to prevent too much conflict on the ground in Ancient County, to stop other families from taking advantage and supporting forces to create chaos in the Ancient County.

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard and pondered, perhaps the Lu family is guarding against the Sun family, after all, Sun Qingrui had previously gone to the county city to provoke Lu Fusheng.

The outcome of that battle was uncertain, and it wasn’t spread to the outside world.

For that battle, Yang Zhenshan had thought it over carefully. What was Sun Qingrui’s purpose in provoking Lu Fusheng in front of everyone?

Was it just to suppress Lu Fusheng? Or to showcase their Sun family’s might?

Impossible!

This kind of insignificant matter wouldn’t be worth the Sun family going to such lengths, personally provoking Lu Fusheng.

After thinking it over, Yang Zhenshan could only think of one possibility.

Sun Qingrui’s goal should have been to injure Lu Fusheng, delaying Lu Fusheng’s breakthrough.

The Sun family might not be able to kill Lu Fusheng, but they could injure him, causing a delay of years in his breakthrough.

Yet such a move would lay the conflict between these two families bare.

And there might even be the shadows of the Three Sects behind this.

The downfall of the Dazhao royal family Wei family must have received the support of the Three Sects, so Lu Fusheng must also have the backing of one of the Three Sects, though which one is unclear.

The Sun family’s struggle with the Lu family might also have Sect support behind it.

Illusion Moon Sect is the closest to Heavenly Que City, perhaps they support the Lu family.

So what about the Sun family?

Could it be the Xuanqing Sect?

Yang Zhenshan felt a bit of a headache as the situation in the Sea of Spirit was indeed too chaotic. Mainly, he couldn’t sort out the relationships between the Three Sects and the Twelve Families. No matter how he guessed, it felt like random speculation.

"This is not a good thing!"

Yang Zhenshan murmured softly.

Since the Sun family has already acted, they definitely won’t just let it rest.

The Lu family prohibits the annexation of spirit fields, so what will the Sun family do?

The two families are bound to have some conflict.

In the conflict between these two families, the Martial Arts Families caught in the middle are sure to suffer.

Yang Zhenshan thought for a moment, but then felt it might not be such a bad thing for him.

The Lingxi Yang Family is currently just an insignificant player, not even qualified to be a pawn. Neither the Sun family nor the Lu family, presumably, would consider the Lingxi Yang Family worth their attention.

At this time, being weak might actually be the best protection.

So this is a good thing for Yang Zhenshan.

He needs time to cultivate now, a few years would be perfect.

As such, he only needs to guard against the Nanqing Xiang family secretly causing trouble for the Lingxi Yang Family, without needing to worry about anything else.

With these thoughts clear, the frown on Yang Zhenshan’s face also relaxed.

"Hmm, this is a good thing, but you should still be cautious of the Nanqing Xiang family, try not to go down the mountain unless necessary!"

"Yes, nephew understands, Uncle can rest assured that I will restrain our people," Yang Xiangheng said.

After Yang Xiangheng left, Yang Zhenshan returned to the Spiritual Spring Mountain.

The Spiritual Spring Mountain is now unlike before. As one steps into this place, what comes into view is a Spirit Fruit Forest, with towering Spirit Fruit Trees, their branches and leaves interwoven as if holding up a verdant canopy.

The branches are heavy with Spirit Fruits of various colors and shapes, each resembling twinkling stars in the night sky, adorning the lush branches and leaves. A gentle breeze brings forth their fragrance, making one’s mouth water.

Amidst the gaps in the Spirit Fruit Forest, Spiritual Medicines grow densely. They come in various forms; some have broad and expansive leaves, seemingly ready to receive nature’s spiritual energy; others are short and compact yet emit undeniable spiritual power waves.

Colorful petals overlap, some elegantly fresh, others brilliantly dazzling, each petal beading with crystal-clear Spiritual Dew, reflecting a rainbow of colors in the warm light, like gemstones inlaid upon the leaves.
