Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1143: Chapter 768: Take Action Tonight! (Part 2)

Yang Zhenshan intends to utilize the abundant spiritual medicine resources of the Yunxiao Mountain Range to enhance the variety of spiritual medicines in the Spirit Source Land.

Especially some precious spiritual medicines, even in the Spirit Source Land, cannot be cultivated in a short time.

The growth of spiritual medicines often takes decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years.

Currently, the Spirit Source Land can only cultivate some low-grade spiritual medicines, and truly high-grade spiritual medicines need to be purchased from outside.

The same applies to exotic beasts, whether their carcasses or younglings, they are worth acquiring in large quantities.

Every part of a mutant beast is valuable; some beasts can be used in medicine to refine elixirs.

Yang Zhenshan aims not only to increase the diversity of spiritual plants in the Spirit Source Land but also to enhance the variety of exotic beasts.

Therefore, opening a shop dedicated to acquiring spiritual medicines and exotic beasts in Snow Valley Town is essential.

However, Luo Zhen and his team are not well-versed in the types and prices of spiritual medicines and exotic beasts, and they need time to figure this out before opening a shop.

“Understood, I’ve already arranged for someone to investigate the prices of spirit grass and exotic beasts. But it might take a long time!” Luo Zhen said.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, “No hurry, first train our people, and eventually we can hire outsiders familiar with this field. But we must have our own people proficient in this!”

“Yes!” Luo Zhen agreed with a nod.

The varieties of spiritual medicines and exotic beasts are diverse and bizarre. Some exotic beasts inherit their bloodline, their ancestors were beasts, so their bloodline is stable. Others mutated from consuming rare treasures, lacking any reference information.

Green Wolves have genetic heritage; their descendants are mutant beasts.

Red Cloud Horses are mutant beasts created by consuming rare treasures, lacking stable bloodlines, so their offspring might be mutant beasts or ordinary horses.

Spiritual medicines are similar, with some being authentic species and others mutating due to specific environments.

In the Spirit Source Land, many spiritual plants have mutated from ordinary species, with the most valuable reference being the Spirit Tea Tree.

Yang Zhenshan previously never transplanted Spirit Tea Trees, but now there are many in the Spirit Source Land.

Many herbs previously called Treasure Medicines have now seen quality improvements.

“What reaction does the Fan family have?” Yang Zhenshan inquired.

Luo Zhen shook his head slightly, “There’s no response yet, but we’ve found they’ve been inquiring about our origins!”

“How?”

“Many have attempted to extract information recently, but we’ve managed to deflect them!” Luo Zhen replied.

Everyone from the Spirit Source Land is specially trained, adhering to strict confidentiality.

The Spirit Source Land has Secret Martial Guards, but they are not independent; they are directly integrated with the Protection Hall.

Anyone leaving must undergo training and instruction from the Protection Hall.

Outsiders cannot learn their origins except by extracting information from them.

They are rootless and source-less entities in Snow Valley Town, appearing out of thin air, making tracing their origins impossible.

“The Fan family will surely act; be cautious and try not to go out so as not to be kidnapped!” Yang Zhenshan warned.

Yang Zhenshan was not very informed about the Fan family; his intelligence came from the Secret Martial Guards, but their insights were superficial, serving as reference, not conclusive evidence.

With strategic empathy, Yang Zhenshan wouldn’t permit the Yang family winery’s existence from the Fan family’s perspective.

He anticipated the Fan family would target the Yang family winery soon.

Yang Zhenshan’s desired outcome was that he placed Liang Shengze and Qu Changkong here to wait for the Fan family’s actions.

Once the Fan family dared to provoke, he would have reason to act against them.

As expected by Yang Zhenshan, Fan Chengyue grew restless, coveting the thriving Yang family winery for over ten days.

What does the Yang family winery’s booming business signify?

It means substantial spirit stones are flowing into Yang family’s coffers.

Fan Chengyue did not care about the impact on their Fan family’s spiritual wine business; he merely wanted to seize the Yang family winery for himself.

If he can seize the Yang family winery, their Fan family’s spiritual wine business would expand several folds, boosting profits.

Just the thought filled him with a desire to rush into the Yang family winery and capture everyone.

Still, Fan Chengyue wasn’t impulsive, and Snow Valley Town wasn’t a place where the Fan family could act recklessly—the Cold Cloud Sect’s rules must be respected.

Of course, certain rules can be bent.

Today, Fan Chengyue was prepared to break those rules.

On the third floor of the restaurant, he smilingly escorted a middle-aged man from the private room.

The man was Yuan Bai, another Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artist from the Cold Cloud Sect stationed in Snow Valley Town.

Unlike Ji Linfeng, Yuan Bai comes from a modest background, with no family support, even as a Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artist in a high position in the Cold Cloud Sect, he must strive for his cultivation resources.

For Yuan Bai, stationed in Snow Valley Town was a chance for extra earnings, and Fan Chengyue’s invitation was an opportunity to earn spirit stones.

Moreover, it was a long-term golden ticket.

Fan Chengyue promised him a thirty percent share in the Fan family’s restaurant’s profits.

All he had to do was turn a blind eye, allowing the Fan family to target the Yang family winery.

Leaving the room, Yuan Bai stopped, murmuring, “Remember, keep it quiet; I won’t be able to face Ji Linfeng otherwise!”

“If chaos erupts, it’s your mess to clean!”

Ji Linfeng, older and stronger than Yuan Bai, holds a higher status in the Cold Cloud Sect. Though managing the Law Enforcement Team in Snow Valley Town, Yuan Bai can’t ignore Ji Linfeng’s presence.

Snow Valley Town enforces a ban—no combat within the town.

Such is Yuan Bai’s typical desire for benefits without trouble.

“Rest assured, I have it under control!” Fan Chengyue replied softly.

Despite his disdain for Yuan Bai, he spoke with due respect.

“Yes, I’m confident you will handle things well!” Yuan Bai said, patting his shoulder contentedly.

Fan Chengyue watched the retreating figure with cold sneer deep within his sunken eyes.

A moment later, he returned to the room, his expression reverting to calm and grim.

“Are they here?”

The room’s warmth turned frigid at the low, icy voice’s echo.

Amidst the bright candlelight, a blurred figure emerged from behind the curtain, speaking softly, “They’re here. The action is tonight!”

Fan Chengyue’s chiseled face revealed a faint smile, “Soul-breaking Blade, let’s see if you live up to your legendary prowess!”

The silhouette behind the curtain stepped forward to reveal a plain face, “Uncle, would dealing with Soul-breaking Blade offend the Three Sects?”

“Offend?” Fan Chengyue glanced at him, “We lack the weight to offend the Three Sects!”

The young man hesitated.

Fan Chengyue chuckled, “No worry, the Three Sects pay no heed to small families as ours!”

His words were blunt but truthful.

Given the Three Sects’ power, they wouldn’t bother with minor family affairs like the Fan’s.

Even if the Three Sects oppose Soul-breaking Blade, Fan’s family wouldn’t merit time or effort in retaliation.

Moreover, his family was merely spending spirit stones for assistance with no substantial ties to the Soul-breaking Blade.

Hearing this, the young man relaxed, “Understood!”

He retreated behind the curtain, becoming a shadow, almost nonexistent.
