Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1600: Chapter 987: Taking Stock of the Gains

The couple lingered affectionately for a while before finally coming out of the bedroom.

Once again, they approached the Spirit Pine, and Yang Zhenshan stepped forward to examine its condition.

“These eight Spirit Pines have all been revitalized and should be able to continue growing in just a few more years!”

“Even the Spirit Pine that was ruined still retains some vitality and should be able to sprout and grow again!”

Yu Qingyi pointed at the Spirit Pine and said with picturesque brows and eyes.

Among the nine Spirit Pines, eight were completely transplanted. The transplantation process would inevitably lose some vitality and spirituality, but as long as they could revive, they would return to their original state in a few years.

As for the Spirit Pine that was ruined, although it can re-sprout and grow, it will take several decades to a hundred years to flourish again.

Yang Zhenshan snapped a branch from one of the Spirit Pines and began to study it closely.

He did not know the species and effects of these Spirit Pines, but it didn’t matter; he could rely on his experience to determine their medicinal properties and create elixir recipes and refine elixirs or other items based on that.

He had previously studied them in the Sun Cave Heaven and knew that these Spirit Pines’ medicinal properties targeted the Divine Soul, but back then, he didn’t study them thoroughly, only having a rough understanding.

Now that he has time, he wants to study these Spirit Pines carefully.

“And there’s this; this Scale Vine has very strong vitality. I just planted it, and it started growing!” Yu Qingyi pointed to the nearby Scale Vine and said.

“Well, thank you for your hard work, madam!” Yang Zhenshan said with a smile.

“It’s nothing hard!” Yu Qingyi gave him a charming little glance.

That glance was full of myriad charms, causing Yang Zhenshan, whose Heart Spirit had just been calmed, to again feel an urge.

Being an old couple, he rarely felt such urges anymore.

It was just that Yu Qingyi’s tears earlier had touched his heart, making him feel like he was having a second spring.

However, business was more important, so Yang Zhenshan had to suppress his urge for the moment.

“I’ll study it first!”

He carefully studied the Spirit Pine and Scale Vine, mainly conducting medicinal property testing, a process that wasn’t complicated, and Yang Zhenshan carried it out with ease.

A few hours passed, and he had almost completely studied the medicinal properties of the Spirit Pine and Scale Vine.

It was as he previously speculated; these Spirit Pines indeed had the effect of stabilizing the Dao Heart and suppressing Heart Demons, and from their branches and leaves, he could extract an agent similar to Forget River Dew.

As for the Scale Vine, its roots are similar to sweet potatoes. At the time of excavation, Yang Zhenshan recognized these roots weren’t simple, and now after research, he found that the vitality contained in the roots exceeded his expectations.

The vitality contained in just this Scale Vine alone could supplement a hundred years of lifespan for him.

Of course, he wouldn’t use this Scale Vine to supplement his lifespan; a lower-grade Spirit Plant was enough for that purpose, and there was no need to waste the vitality contained in the Scale Vine.

This Scale Vine is best suited for extracting the Fountain of Vitality.

“How’s it going?” Yu Qingyi couldn’t help but ask curiously as she saw Yang Zhenshan stand up from beside the Scale Vine.

Yang Zhenshan smiled, “Not bad, with this Scale Vine and those Spirit Pines, I’ve almost gathered the Spiritual Objects I need for Core Formation!”

The three stages of Core Formation: the physical stage requires the Fountain of Vitality, the Magic Power Barrier stage needs the Top-grade Demon Yuan Pill, and the Divine Soul stage requires Forget River Dew.

The Scale Vine can provide him with some Fountain of Vitality in a short time.

The Spirit Pine can be refined into an agent similar to Forget River Dew.

In other words, for the three stages of Core Formation, he only lacks the Top-grade Demon Yuan Pill.

As for the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, the first three Thunder Tribulations also require the Fountain of Vitality, but Yang Zhenshan believes that with his constitution and abilities, he should be able to withstand the first three Thunder Tribulations.

The middle three Thunder Tribulations involve spiritual power infiltration; at this point, one must not only withstand the damage from the Thunder Tribulation but also quickly refine the spiritual power infiltrated by the Thunder Tribulation.

For this, Yang Zhenshan has his own idea, which is to use the Thunder Tribulation infiltration to nurture the Qinghua Thunder Pearl and the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword.

To be safe, Yang Zhenshan will also prepare some elixirs that enhance the rate of spiritual power absorption, which should ensure no major issues.

The last three Thunder Tribulations correspond to Heart Demon, Ignorance, and Dao Inquiry.

The agent extracted from the Spirit Pine can suppress Heart Demons, Ignorance of Heart Spirit requires the Tongming Pill, and finally is the Heavenly Dao inquiry, Core Formation achieving Dao, which can use the Nine-striped Bodhi Seed.

Calculating this way, Yang Zhenshan truly only lacks two types of Spiritual Objects: the Top-grade Demon Yuan Pill and the Tongming Pill.

He is already confident in refining the Top-grade Demon Yuan Pill, and this time he also obtained quite a few Demon Cores in the Sun Cave Heaven, which should be enough for him to refine the Top-grade Demon Yuan Pill.

He has also been researching the Tongming Pill for some time, but to successfully refine it, he needs to experiment a few more times.

Yang Zhenshan is confident that he can refine the Top-grade Demon Yuan Pill and the Tongming Pill.

With this in mind, Yang Zhenshan believes he only needs ten years to gather all the Spiritual Objects he needs for Core Formation.

“Then that’s great!” Yu Qingyi smiled even more happily.

Yang Zhenshan embraced her again, “Come, let’s see what other gains we have!”

In a flash, the two of them arrived at Yang Zhenshan’s treasure vault.

The vault stored a large amount of rare resources, as well as many miscellaneous items; some were valuable finds Yang Zhenshan had acquired from palace ruins, though much of it was useless junk, only a small portion being valuable Magical Treasures and resources.

Most of the items were handed over to Ziwei Tower for handling, while those of higher grade were sent to his vault.
