Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1187: Chapter 791: Xuanqing Sect Recruiting Disciples

The two of them talked for most of the day, and Lu Fusheng stayed overnight at Lingxi Mountain, only leaving the next day.

During this time, Lu Fusheng’s attitude was clearly intentional, trying to win over Yang Zhenshan.

With his cultivation at the Martial God Realm, he really didn’t need to be so deliberate, even though Yang Zhenshan was an Immortal Cultivator, he only had Qi Refinement Realm cultivation after all.

However, the Lu family is currently not in a good situation and is in need of allies.

Yang Zhenshan barely qualifies to become an ally of the Lu family now.

After Lu Fusheng left, Lu Jianghua also bid farewell and left, taking the Red Flame Army back to Nanxia County City.

No matter the current situation, the Lu family cannot give up those martial cultivator workshops; they must not abandon them and must rebuild the workshops quickly.

Yang Zhenshan stood under the archway, watching the back of Lu Jianghua as he left with the Red Flame Army, falling into deep thought.

To his surprise, Lingxiu’s Three Sects are actually subordinate sects of Hidden Sword Mountain, which was completely beyond his expectation, and it seemed to affect his future plans.

According to his plan, the Spirit Source Land must establish a base externally, like the Divine Wood Sect west of the storm, the Spirit Source Land must also establish a base in the Yunxiao Mountain Range.

The Divine Wood Sect is a talent base for Spirit Source Land, while a resource base is needed on the Yunxiao Mountain Range side.

Relying on the Yunxiao Mountain Range and the Sea of Spirit to deliver various cultivation resources to Spirit Source Land.

His original idea was to wait until the time was right and then find a Spirit Land deep in the Yunxiao Mountain Range, set up a Mountain Protection Array as Spirit Source Land’s external base, and then emerge from the Yunxiao Mountain Range as a hidden sect.

The problem is that the Sea of Spirit and the western part of the Yunxiao Mountain Range are all territories of Hidden Sword Mountain; if he proceeds according to his previous thoughts, it would inevitably become an enemy of Hidden Sword Mountain.

Not just Hidden Sword Mountain, but Lingxiu’s Three Sects would also be their enemies.

Involving cultivation resources, neither Hidden Sword Mountain nor Lingxiu’s Three Sects would allow another force to emerge and compete.

"The western part of the Yunxiao Mountain Range doesn’t work, should I go to the eastern part? That area is likely the territory of the Nether Prison Sect!"

"The Nether Prison Sect is even stronger than Lingxiu’s Three Sects!"

Yang Zhenshan thought secretly.

Spirit Source Land must have a base here.

Actually, he also considered using the Ancient Relic Array as Spirit Source Land’s external base, but now it is a contested object between the Nether Prison Sect and Lingxiu’s Three Sects.

He can secretly clean out the Ancient Relic Array, but he cannot openly occupy it.

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard and pondered for a while, ultimately deciding to put this matter aside for now, as it is not urgent.

"Uncle Ancestor!"

Yang Xiangheng approached Yang Zhenshan and called softly.

"Hmm, what is it?" Yang Zhenshan turned and asked.

"There is indeed something I want to consult Uncle Ancestor about," Yang Xiangheng answered.

Yang Zhenshan walked towards the garden with his hands behind him, "Speak!"

Yang Xiangheng considered for a moment and said, "I just received news yesterday that Xuanqing Sect will be recruiting disciples in a month, and I want to send the clan’s children to give it a try!"

Yang Zhenshan raised his eyebrows, "Doesn’t Xuanqing Sect recruit disciples every five years?"

But just as he said this, he understood. This is likely because Xuanqing Sect’s Inner Sect disciples experienced significant losses, so they moved up the recruitment time.

"Not just Xuanqing Sect, I heard Wuxiang Sect and Illusion Moon Sect also moved up their recruitment times!" Yang Xiangheng added.

"Who do you plan to send to try?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

"There aren’t many suitable children in the clan, just Yan Zhe, Yan Ping, and Yan Bo are suitable," Yang Xiangheng replied.

Yang Yanze is Yang Xiangheng’s eldest son, nineteen years old this year, and has just made a breakthrough in cultivation beyond the Postnatal Realm.

Yang Yanping and Yang Yanbo are the sons of Yang Xiangdong and Yang Xiangxi, the same two who were initially mistaken for being eaten by a serpent.

They are seventeen or eighteen years old, with cultivation that’s decent but neither outstanding nor lacking.

If it were in previous years, they might have a hard time becoming disciples of Xuanqing Sect, but now they may have a chance.

Speaking of Xuanqing Sect’s disciple recruitment, Yang Zhenshan thought of Yang Qinting.

Yang Qinting is Yang Cheng’an’s eldest son, also seventeen years old this year, ten years ago Yang Zhenshan considered sending this child to Xuanqing Sect for cultivation.

Back then, his understanding of the situation by the Sea of Spirit was quite superficial, thinking if a child from the family could enter Xuanqing Sect for cultivation, it would be a good thing.

But should he still send him to Xuanqing Sect now?

Yang Zhenshan hesitated a bit.

Yang Qinting has been cultivating the local techniques of the Sea of Spirit since childhood; all the resources were prioritized for him, and he has performed well, reaching the Postnatal Realm by age seventeen.

Moreover, Yang Qinting has been cultivating the "Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill" since childhood; although his cultivation is only at the First Layer of Postnatal Realm, his "Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill" has already reached the third realm.

Before he reaches the Innate Realm, his "Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill" can only remain at the third layer, but even so, his cultivation is far ahead of his peers.

It can be said that Yang Qinting can be considered a genius either in Spirit Source Land or the Sea of Spirit.

"You go ahead and find out more about this matter, no actually, find Li Chang and have him look into this matter! Once it’s confirmed, we’ll discuss further."

Yang Zhenshan thought this matter ought to be discussed with Yang Cheng’an and Yang Qinting to hear their opinions.

The benefits of Yang Qinting joining Xuanqing Sect need no elaboration; at the very least, he will help better understand Xuanqing Sect.
