Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1601: Chapter 987: Tallying Up the Gains (2)

It includes Third order ores, some rare Magical Treasures, and twelve Nine-striped Bodhi Seeds.

Yang Zhenshan first checked the Nine-striped Bodhi Seeds; seeing that they were intact, he finally relaxed.

Then he looked over those four Spiritual Artifacts: the gourd, the Flying Sword, the treasure mirror, and the Pill Furnace.

The gourd he would definitely keep for himself; the Flying Sword could be given to Yun Xiao; the treasure mirror would go to Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu—whether they could actually use it or not, whatever should be given to them, he would give.

Lastly was the Pill Furnace. This Pill Furnace was the very one that had sealed the Nine Tripod Divine Pill; its Grade should be no worse than the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Because he hadn’t refined it, Yang Zhenshan wasn’t yet clear on the exact functions and Grade of this Pill Furnace.

There was no rush to refine the Spiritual Artifact; this kind of thing wasn’t that easy to refine.

Yang Zhenshan then turned to sorting through those miscellaneous things.

Some of these he had directly swept into his warehouse, without going through Ziwei Tower’s screening.

For example, some people’s Storage Bags.

Yang Zhenshan opened the Storage Bags one by one, then he and Yu Qingyi began classifying the miscellaneous items.

After finishing the sorting, Yang Zhenshan first checked those Jade Scrolls.

The origins of these Jade Scrolls were very complicated; some came from the Sun Cave Heaven, others from the people who had entered the Sun Cave Heaven.

For instance, Yang Zhenshan had slain Feng Guiyue and Wang Henglie; their Storage Bags had naturally fallen into his hands, and the Jade Scrolls inside naturally became his spoils of war.

Most of the Jade Scrolls recorded Cultivation Techniques, and quite a few of them were very good ones; these Cultivation Techniques could all serve as the foundation of the Spirit Source Land.

A small portion of the scrolls recorded the hundred arts of Immortal Cultivators, such as Alchemy, Artifact Refining, talisman making, Arrays and so on. Yang Zhenshan even found among them three Jade Scrolls that recorded Puppetry Technique, and one of them actually contained blueprints for crafting a Third order Puppet.

Not the Molten Rock Divine General, but the Fiery Flame God General.

Yang Zhenshan didn’t know what this Fiery Flame God General was either, only that it looked very powerful.

“Huh, a Ghost Cultivation Technique! Netherworld Soul Refining Scripture!”

Yang Zhenshan held a Jade Scroll in his hand, feeling slightly surprised.

“What’s the problem?” Yu Qingyi asked.

“Nothing. This Cultivation Technique is useful, we’ll keep it for now!” Yang Zhenshan put away the jet-black Jade Scroll in his hand.

He had always wanted to find a Ghost Cultivation Technique for Red Cloud to cultivate. Red Cloud’s soul was still in the Soul Returning Array of the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower; after dozens of years of nurturing, Red Cloud’s soul was now extremely active. It was only because there was no Ghost Cultivation Technique that it had not transformed into a Ghost Cultivator.

Yang Zhenshan continued to examine the Jade Scrolls, and soon he found another interesting one.

“Hold onto this one first, we’ll send it to Qiuyan later!”

“What’s recorded in it?”

“A complete set of large Flying Boat design blueprints; it should be the Flying Boat used by the Sun True Sect.” Yang Zhenshan said with a smile.

Yu Qingyi happily looked through the contents in the Jade Scroll, but she couldn’t really understand them; she only skimmed through it roughly before putting the Jade Scroll away.

“Yan’er will definitely like this thing!”

“Mm!”

Yang Zhenshan nodded and picked up another Jade Scroll to read.

All these years, Ma Qiuyan had been researching the construction of large Flying Boats, and she had already produced quite a few results.

She still couldn’t design large Flying Boats hundreds of zhang long, but with the help of Yang Jizhen and many Artifact Refiners, she had already built large Flying Boats several dozen zhang in length.

This complete set of large Flying Boat design blueprints should be able to help her a lot; perhaps she could directly build a large Flying Boat according to these blueprints.

After reading several more Jade Scrolls in a row, Yang Zhenshan finally found what he wanted.

His eyes lit up, his mouth split in a grin, and his whole body radiated excitement and delight.

“What good thing did you find this time?” Seeing him like this, Yu Qingyi asked again.

Yang Zhenshan suddenly scooped her up, spun around while laughing loudly, and said, “Hahaha, my lady, we can truly become an immortal couple now!”

Yu Qingyi was a little dazed by his sudden move, but seeing how happy he was made her laugh along with him.

“What exactly is it, to make you this happy?”

Yang Zhenshan put her down and said mysteriously, “The Elixir Recipe for the Nine Tripod Divine Pill!”

“Nine Tripod Divine Pill? What’s that?” Yu Qingyi had no idea what the Nine Tripod Divine Pill was.

“The Nine Tripod Divine Pill can allow a person to condense a Fake Pill. Although a Fake Pill Cultivator is inferior to a Golden Core Cultivator in many respects, a Fake Pill Cultivator has over two thousand years of Lifespan!”

Yang Zhenshan grinned as he went on, “The key point is that condensing a Fake Pill is much easier than condensing a Golden Core, and there’s no need to undergo Heavenly Tribulation!”

“My lady, I will definitely refine the Nine Tripod Divine Pill for you, so you too can live for two thousand years!”

He gazed at Yu Qingyi, eyes full of tenderness.

All along, what he worried about most wasn’t whether he himself could form a core, but whether Yu Qingyi could.

Even if he couldn’t form a core, his Divine Soul had already fused with the source of the Spirit Source Land; as long as the Spirit Source Land was not destroyed, his Divine Soul would not perish.

So even if he failed to form a core, he could still remain in this world.

But Yu Qingyi was different. If she couldn’t break through to the Divine Soul Realm, her Lifespan would be only a bit over three hundred years; if she couldn’t form a core, then her Lifespan would be only a bit over five hundred years.

Even if Yu Qingyi could convert into a Ghost Cultivator, Ghost Cultivators still had a limit to their yin lifespan.

After spending more than a hundred years together, Yang Zhenshan truly couldn’t bear the thought of her leaving.

“The Nine Tripod Divine Pill is actually that incredible!” Yu Qingyi said in shock.

“Mm, very incredible! With it, even if you can’t condense a Golden Core, you can still condense a Fake Pill!” Yang Zhenshan said with a smile.

Although there were many dangers involved, compared to a Lifespan of two thousand years, any risk was worth a try.

Yun Xiao’s situation was a special case; he had swallowed the Nine Tripod Divine Pill without any preparation at all, so the danger he faced was much greater.

If they waited until Yang Zhenshan mastered refining the Nine Tripod Divine Pill, and then made thorough preparations for Yu Qingyi, the risk for her to condense a Fake Pill should not be too high.

“Then can Ming Zhao also condense a Fake Pill?” Yu Qingyi asked.

She was still thinking about her own son.

“Uh… that’ll have to wait until you condense a Fake Pill first!” Yang Zhenshan said.

A son was his own flesh and blood, and so was his wife. Which was more important, wife or son? If this question had been asked in the past, Yang Zhenshan would probably have said they were equally important.

But right now, in his heart, he was still more inclined toward Yu Qingyi.

After all, his son was already grown, with grandchildren of his own.

“You, you don’t even know how to feel sorry for your children!”

“They’re already so old, and I still need to fuss over them?”

“You still have to take better care of them!”

What else could Yang Zhenshan say? He could only reply, “Alright, I’ll definitely refine some for them as well when the time comes!”

They were all one family; naturally, Yang Zhenshan also hoped they could all keep living on, so he wouldn’t have to see white-haired elders sending off black-haired juniors.

But the path of cultivation was full of hardships and danger; Yang Zhenshan couldn’t guarantee that they would all sail through smoothly.

With that topic temporarily set aside, Yang Zhenshan took the Elixir Recipe for the Nine Tripod Divine Pill and began studying it carefully.

The Nine Tripod Divine Pill was a Third-tier Elixir, and a particularly difficult Third-tier Elixir to refine at that.

The required ingredients were all rare Third-stage Spiritual Medicines, and there were even legendary heaven-and-earth spiritual treasures among them.

Its refining difficulty was far beyond what Yang Zhenshan could grasp at his current level.

Let alone mastering it, Yang Zhenshan simply couldn’t understand this Elixir Recipe right now.

Because much of its content was something only Golden Core Cultivators could come into contact with.

If he wanted to refine the Nine Tripod Divine Pill, Yang Zhenshan would first have to condense a Golden Core himself, and he would also need a deeper comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.

Even though he couldn’t refine it yet, Yang Zhenshan still carefully put the Jade Scroll away.

What he needed to refine right now wasn’t the Nine Tripod Divine Pill, but the top-grade Demon Essence Pill and the Tongming Pill.
