Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1684: Chapter 1030: Windfall (Part 2)

Yang Zhenshan hasn’t made much progress in the way of talisman making; he still only knows how to draw those few second-order talismans.

On the other hand, Cui Yang’s skills in talisman making have become increasingly profound, having reached the level of a second rank top-grade Talisman Master. Once his cultivation reaches the late-stage Foundation Establishment, he should be able to attempt refining third-order talismans.

The blood of the Shui Ji can be saved for him to use.

With blood, naturally the bones should not be wasted either, nor should the fish tail.

The Jiaoqiao Clan is a branch of the Merfolk Clan, human-shaped with fish tails. Women have skin as white as jade peaks, with fine hairs, light and soft in five colors, and hair like horse tails. Men have skin as blue as the sea, with a horny fin on their backs and hideous faces.

The entire body of the Demon King is a treasure, even its skin and flesh are rare treasures.

However, since the Jiaoqiao Clan has a human form, Yang Zhenshan really couldn’t bring himself to consume them, so he plans to leave the Shui Ji’s flesh for the Green Wolf to eat.

Such a nourishing substance might allow several Green Wolves to advance to become demon beasts.

Yang Zhenshan acted like a butcher, dismembering the Shui Ji into eight pieces, from scales to flesh and bones, to the Divine Soul, collecting them all as valuable items.

However, the most valuable things on the Shui Ji are still its storage bags and spiritual artifacts. This guy was carrying two storage bags and two spiritual artifacts.

One is a trident, a mid-grade spiritual artifact, a close combat spiritual artifact.

Yang Zhenshan wielded it a few times, feeling pretty good about it. Perhaps he could use this as a spear, enabling him to pick up the spear techniques he had set aside.

Although Golden Core cultivators prefer using spiritual artifacts and divine skills in combat and generally engage in long-range confrontations, even in close combat, it is usually just a brief encounter.

Nonetheless, some Golden Core cultivators favor close combat, and demon kings mostly prefer close combat.

Yang Zhenshan looked at the trident, thought about it, and decided that it would be more suitable to transform it into a spear; he didn’t like using long halberds, especially tridents.

When he gets back, he’ll ask Yang Jizhen to examine it and see if it’s possible to modify it.

The other spiritual artifact is the spherical spiritual artifact the Shui Ji used previously, a low-grade spiritual artifact with water attributes, which seems to be well-suited to the Shui Ji’s divine skills.

Evidently, this thing doesn’t suit Yang Zhenshan. He merely examined it briefly and, not discovering any special marks, decided to put the spiritual artifact away.

This way, the spiritual artifact that he couldn’t use could be kept for future trade or other purposes.

As the Life Realm Immortal Palace is a Golden Core power, it surely needs to stockpile some spiritual artifacts as its foundation, as well as stockpile more third-stage spiritual objects.

After examining the spiritual artifacts, Yang Zhenshan then started trying to open the Shui Ji’s storage bags.

Fortunately, the Shui Ji is a demon cultivator, not an immortal cultivator.

Storage bags of Golden Core cultivators generally have restrictions, and it’s very difficult for outsiders to open them.

Demon cultivators are considerably weaker in this regard. Although Shui Ji’s storage bags also had restrictions, Yang Zhenshan spent only a few days eradicating them.

Upon opening the storage bag, Yang Zhenshan’s mood instantly brightened.

All the Yin Spring Liquid he wanted was there, a full gourd of it. This much Yin Spring Liquid is enough to allow him to refine the Nine Tripod Divine Pill a hundred times.

Of course, he couldn’t possibly refine the Nine Tripod Divine Pill hundreds of times; the materials required for refining the Nine Tripod Divine Pill are exceedingly scarce. Not to mention the three primary materials, even the auxiliary materials have to be slowly collected.

However, Yin Spring Liquid isn’t just useful for refining the Nine Tripod Divine Pill; as a spiritual object containing the Taiyin attribute, Yin Spring Liquid is very useful for many cultivators practicing the way of Taiyin.

For example, Ning Yun practices the Taiyin Moonlight Nourishing Heart Scripture, while Bai Xiaoyun practices the Mystic Yin Soul Silence Scripture and Three Yin Weaving Net, and Ma Qiuyan practices the Gui Water Nourishing Essence Scripture. To them, Yin Spring Liquid is an extremely useful spiritual object.

Besides Yin Spring Liquid, the Shui Ji’s storage bags also contain many rare spiritual objects.

Third-stage Sea Soul Grass, third-stage Water Element Stone, third-stage five-colored pearls, and so on. There are over forty types of third-stage spiritual objects alone, and more than one of each.

Yang Zhenshan also found a quantity of Moonlight Essence, totaling twelve wisps. He doesn’t know if he collected it in the past or exchanged items with others for it at a trade fair.

"This time, Ning Yun and Qiuyan are in luck!"

Yang Zhenshan looked at these things and shook his head rather helplessly.

Most of the Shui Ji’s spiritual objects are water and Yin attributes, which are basically unusable for him.

On the contrary, both Ning Yun and Ma Qiuyan could use them, especially Ning Yun, who trains in the Taiyin Moonlight Nourishing Heart Scripture, which requires Moonlight Essence the most.

Previously, Ning Yun studied the Illusion Moon Celestial Fox Array mainly because this array has the function of gathering Moonlight Essence.

Of course, the fact that Yang Zhenshan can’t use these items now doesn’t mean he won’t use them in the future.

For any Golden Core cultivator, the wider and richer the variety of third-stage spiritual objects, the better; the more abundant the quantity, the better.

As they say, "a horse isn’t fat without a night feed, a person isn’t rich without a windfall."

Yang Zhenshan indeed has had a windfall this time.

The items Shui Ji carried on his person aren’t much less than Yang Zhenshan’s own wealth.

Veteran powers are indeed veteran powers; just the items they carry are this plentiful. One can’t even guess how many treasures are still hidden in Minghai Palace.

Unfortunately, Yang Zhenshan cannot afford to provoke Minghai Palace; they have the backing of Beihai Demon Court.

After meticulously inspecting everything, Yang Zhenshan indeed found something unusual in the Yin Spring Liquid.

Shui Ji actually left his Divine Soul Mark within the Yin Spring Liquid. His mark was very cleverly melded, almost integrated with the Yin Spring Liquid, which is why Yang Zhenshan hadn’t noticed it before.

Fortunately, Yang Zhenshan’s Divine Soul is strong enough; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to detect this mark.
