Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1081: Chapter 740: The Wan Family of the Golden Pool Comes Calling

The two of them walked into the tea room and sat down casually. Lan Peng’s grandson, Lan Xuanyu, served them tea at the side, “Please, seniors!”

Yang Zhenshan nodded in acknowledgment, then said to Lan Peng, “I came today to ask Brother Lan for some advice on a few matters!”

Lan Peng straightened his slightly disheveled beard and laughed, “Speak freely, there’s no need for pleasantries.”

Yang Zhenshan took a small sip of tea, his eyes slightly downcast, and said softly, “Brother Lan, do you know how to break through to the Martial God Realm?”

Among the people he had come into contact with over the years, Lan Peng was probably the most likely to have come across the Golden Body Skill.

Now that he wanted to acquire the Golden Body Skill, he naturally came to ask Lan Peng.

Lan Peng looked at him, his rugged face full of smiles. His smile was peculiar, not mocking nor sarcastic, as if he was laughing at something interesting he’d encountered.

Yang Zhenshan felt a bit uneasy under his laughter.

“What? Can’t I ask this question?” Yang Zhenshan felt a bit guilty.

“Hahaha~~” Lan Peng suddenly burst into laughter, “I knew it, Brother Yang and I are kindred spirits, ambitious, hahaha~~”

Yang Zhenshan stared at him in astonishment.

Lan Peng continued to laugh, “You’ve just broken through to the Heavenly Gang Stage, and you’re already thinking about the Golden Body Skill, you really can’t wait!”

This statement was indeed correct.

Yang Zhenshan was indeed a bit impatient now. He had traveled far and wide, crossed the Stormy Sea Area, and arrived at this Sea of Spirit, staying for over five years. Until now, he couldn’t hold back the urge in his heart.

If it weren’t for his insufficient strength, he would have run to the Sun family to seize their Golden Body Skill and take a look.

“Brother Lan, stop teasing me, just tell me about the Golden Body Skill!” said Yang Zhenshan.

Lan Peng stroked his beard in silence for a moment, then said, “I have indeed seen the Golden Body Skill, and more than just one!”

Yang Zhenshan’s eyes lit up.

“As early as ten years ago, I saw a Golden Body Skill of gold attribute from the Illusion Moon Sect!”

“Later, when the City Lord conquered the Capital City, he acquired the Flame Sun Earth Fire Golden Body Skill from the Wei family and let me see it!”

Lan Peng’s tone was somewhat complicated.

Yang Zhenshan frowned slightly, “Then why doesn’t Brother Lan think of making a breakthrough?”

The Da’zhao Royal Family’s Wei family’s Golden Body Skill, he had heard about it from Tian Hu, and as for the Illusion Moon Sect, just as he had suspected, the Lu family was able to hold sway in the Ancient County because of the Illusion Moon Sect’s backing.

Lan Peng looked up and gave Yang Zhenshan a complicated look, “Because it’s too hard!”

“Uh! How hard?” Yang Zhenshan frowned even deeper.

Lan Peng let out a heavy sigh, “The City Lord has been in seclusion for five years!”

Yang Zhenshan was stunned, yes, he had forgotten that Lu Fusheng had been in seclusion for a breakthrough, and he still hadn’t heard any news of Lu Fusheng’s breakthrough.

Because it had been so long, he had forgotten about whether Lu Fusheng had made a breakthrough.

“This~~” Yang Zhenshan’s heart tightened sharply.

If even Lu Fusheng found it so difficult to make a breakthrough, what about him?

The difficulty must be far beyond his imagination.

Lan Peng said, “Forging a golden body requires fulfilling three conditions. The first is the perfection of the two energies, harmonious as one. This condition is the simplest; as long as cultivation reaches the Heavenly Gang Stage, with slow cultivation, one will eventually reach this state.”

“The second is absorbing spiritual objects to cast the spirit base. The most difficult part is not casting the spirit base but finding spiritual objects capable of doing so. Different attribute martial artists require different spiritual objects for casting the spirit base. For example, I am a gold attribute martial artist, so the simplest method to cast the spirit base is to find a vein of gold attribute spirit ore and extract the spirituality from it!”

“However, whether I succeed in breaking through or not, the spirituality of the ore vein will be wasted.”

“For you, you need an ancient spirit tree, at least five hundred years old!”

Yang Zhenshan’s mouth slightly twitched at this.

Spirit trees are easy to find, but a five-hundred-year-old spirit tree is hard to come by!

The spirit fruit trees in the Spirit Source Land are considered spirit trees, but those spirit fruit trees are only decades old.

The Three Yellow Plum Trees in Da’an’s Sanshan Valley have been around for over four hundred years, which seems still a bit lacking.

However, Divine Wood Island’s Ten-thousand-year-old Rong is a thousand years old, but it’s not a spirit tree.

“Of course, other things can also substitute, as long as the spirituality is sufficient, they can substitute, but you should also know how scarce such spiritual objects are.”

Lan Peng continued, “As for the third condition, it’s tempering, which is a long and painful process. Guiding spiritual energy like waves, repeatedly washing over every inch of skin, every bone, every meridian, as if suffering a thousand cuts. Fulfill these three steps, and you will have achieved a golden body, attaining the Martial God Realm!”

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard, his thoughts racing.

The first condition is the simplest. With years of devoted cultivation, he should be able to achieve it.

The second condition is more troublesome, requiring an ancient and spiritually rich spirit tree. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a spirit tree, just a spiritual object with high enough spirituality will suffice.

As for the third condition, tempering the body, this process is extremely dangerous.

“The City Lord received support from the Illusion Moon Sect and used an Earth Fire Crystal to cast the spirit base. This one Earth Fire Crystal is worth over ten thousand spirit stones, an extremely rare fire attribute ore. If used to refine a weapon, it can be made into a divine weapon!”

“And to break through, the City Lord has prepared countless spirit pills and spiritual objects, expenditures that neither you nor I can bear. Even so, the City Lord has been in seclusion for over five years without making a breakthrough!”
