Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1123: Chapter 760: Cultivating the Qingmu Longevity Scripture

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard thoughtfully and said, "Let’s not get involved in the matters of the three major sects. You should inform Chen Zhongshu and Lv Hua to be cautious!"

The war between the three major sects and the Nether Prison Sect is bound to be brutal. Yang Zhenshan is not inclined to meddle in these affairs, nor does he want the Secret Martial Guards to be involved.

Don’t think that just because the Secret Martial Guards are hiding in the shadows, they won’t get entangled. The three major sects have been operating in the Sea of Spirit for over a thousand years and surely have their own intelligence networks.

These years, the Secret Martial Guards have been able to develop smoothly because they are still too small to warrant attention from the three major sects.

But if the three major sects decide to start a war with the Nether Prison Sect, they will likely first clear out the forces within the Sea of Spirit, and might incidentally uncover the Secret Martial Guards.

So, to prevent any unexpected issues, it’s better for the Secret Martial Guards to keep a low profile for the time being.

"Yes, there’s one more thing, Lv Hua wants to go back to break through, he’s seeking approval from the Family Head!" Li Chang said.

"Alright, let him settle the matters of the Secret Martial Guards before coming to find me!" Yang Zhenshan said.

Lv Hua has been in the Innate Realm for over twenty years, and it’s also time for him to make a breakthrough.

While breaking through to the Earth Evil Stage doesn’t pose significant dangers, it’s best to have a safe environment to transform True Qi and initiate entry.

This process requires focused cultivation for a period of time, so returning to the Spirit Source Land is better.

Previously, Chen Zhongshu went back to cultivate for two years and successfully entered the Earth Evil Stage.

After arranging the matters here, Yang Zhenshan returned to the Spirit Source Land.

These days he has been together with Lan Peng, although he had the chance to return, it was difficult to stay too long in the Spirit Source Land. So it has dragged on until now for him to calm down and assess the gains from the Ancient Array.

Inside the courtyard at the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau.

Yang Zhenshan first freshened up, changed into clean clothes, and then came to the study room.

Yu Qingyi, Red Cloud, and Qingxia were all present.

"Where are the items?" Yang Zhenshan sat down at the desk and asked.

Red Cloud and Qingxia brought over two boxes, placed them on the table, and said, "They’re all here!"

"The Spirit Fruits and Spiritual Medicines have all been planted by the Spirit Plant Department of the Treasure Hall, and apart from ’Qingmu Longevity Scripture’ and ’Qinghua Thunder Skill,’ the rest have been copied by the Teaching Hall and placed into the Book Collection Building."

"The inheritance of arrays and alchemy has been handed over to the Secret Skill Pavilion. Currently, both the Spiritual Pill Workshop and Artifact Refining Workshop of the Secret Skill Pavilion are conducting research!"

"The miscellaneous items have been sent to the Treasure Hall and Secret Skill Pavilion! The remaining ones might be related to Magical Treasures, and also your Cultivation Technique!"

Yu Qingyi pointed at the items inside the boxes and said.

Currently, there is a council in the Spirit Source Land, known as the Clan Council, beneath which there are six halls and nine departments. The six halls are the Law Enforcement Hall, Protection Hall, Foreign Affairs Hall, Treasure Hall, Teaching Hall, and Secret Skill Pavilion.

The Law Enforcement Hall is responsible for maintaining the laws of the Spirit Source Land, with the Law Enforcement Department and government affairs department. Essentially, it’s the administrative body of the Spirit Source Land, overseeing livelihood, economy, distribution of living resources, registration, laws, etc.

The Protection Hall is the military institution of the Spirit Source Land, which is the army. The entire Protection Hall has only a thousand elite soldiers, apart from cultivating they mostly have little to do and are considered a rather leisure department.

The Foreign Affairs Hall manages external matters of the Spirit Source Land. Hall Master Yang Mingzhi is still at the Divine Wood Island, so the Foreign Affairs Hall in the Spirit Source Land is practically non-existent.

The Treasure Hall is responsible for the cultivation and distribution of Spirit Fruits, Spiritual Medicines, and various Spiritual Objects. Previously, the Alchemy Workshop and Artifact Refining Workshop belonged to the Treasure Hall, but since alchemy and artifact refining are closely connected to Rune Secret Skill, these departments are now under the control of the Secret Skill Pavilion.

The Secret Skill Pavilion is devoted to researching Rune Secret Skill, overseeing the Alchemy Workshop, Artifact Refining Workshop, and Array Formation Department. The Array Formation Department has long been established, but without any array inheritance, the whole department had very few personnel. Now with array inheritance, they can expand their workforce.

The last one is the Teaching Hall, responsible for the education and collection of cultivation techniques in the Spirit Source Land, with the Book Collection Building and Martial Arts Pavilion as its departments.

The Book Collection Building in the Spirit Source Land is exceptionally large. When leaving the Divine Wood Island, Yang Zhenshan moved all the books and cultivation techniques from the Divine Wood Island to the Spirit Source Land. Meanwhile, all the cultivation techniques he has obtained over the years have copies in the Book Collection Building.

As for the Martial Arts Pavilion, it acts as the education department of the Spirit Source Land, overseeing all schools within the Spirit Source Land.

Although the population of the Spirit Source Land isn’t large, the management institutions have been completely perfected, with each hall and department having its own responsibilities, and everyone has their own tasks.

Yang Zhenshan opened the boxes to examine the items inside.

Two bamboo slips are respectively ’Qingmu Longevity Scripture’ and ’Qinghua Thunder Skill,’ along with a copper mirror, a small jade sword, a shield, and several array plates.

The array plates and copper mirror were obtained in the abode of that Array Master.

The shield, about three feet in size, was acquired from another abode. It is entirely black, with distinct runes on its surface, appearing quite mysterious.

"This is also a Magical Treasure!" Yang Zhenshan picked up the small jade sword.

This small sword is just a foot long, practically a dagger.

If he remembers correctly, it was taken from the storage bag of the three elderly who ambushed him.

"Possibly, its material is very sturdy. I couldn’t break it no matter how hard I tried!" Yu Qingyi said.
