Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 876: Chapter 640: Sooner or Later, There Has to Be a Beginning! (Part 2)

As the number of Spiritual Fruit Trees increased, they began to plant them in a rough manner. Previously, Yang Zhenshan would meticulously care for each Spiritual Fruit Tree, but now they have started to grow wildly.

Hmm, the big silly guy is already planting Ice Heart Fruit on the snowy mountain.

This guy likes to stay on the snowy mountain and likes to eat Ice Heart Fruit, so he hid a few Ice Heart Fruits on the mountain, and then they sprouted there.

The snow water on the mountain is just like the Spiritual Spring Water. With the nourishment of the snow water, the Ice Heart Fruits will surely grow well, as they naturally thrive in the cold.

Maybe it won’t take a few years before that snowy mountain will be filled with Ice Heart Fruit Trees.

“Let’s relocate some people here first!” Yang Zhenshan said.

There are no people here, so living here would surely be very boring.

But there are also advantages. Upon arriving here, you would have endless Spiritual Spring Water and Spirit Fruit; cultivating here would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort.

However, once you enter here, Yang Zhenshan certainly wouldn’t let people leave easily.

“Yes, there are still many trustworthy people in our family!” Yu Qingyi said.

Of course, the Yang family doesn’t lack trustworthy individuals; the most trustworthy are not the Luo family, the Zhen family, and others, but rather those who were once servants of the Yang family.

Like Ding Qiu, Wu Hai, Lu Shou, and others, their descendants are the most loyal backbone of the Yang family.

Yang Zhenshan nodded, “Alright, let’s have around a hundred settle here first, and as for the others, let’s inform Ming Cheng and the rest!”

The three brothers, Yang Mingcheng, and Ming Zhao as well, so telling them is fine; trusting them to keep the secret.

As for the grandchildren, it’s better not to tell them yet.

Relocating a few hundred people to live in the Spiritual Spring Space poses no problem, as Yang Zhenshan can prevent them from leaving, giving them no chance to reveal the secret.

But Yang Zhenshan can’t let the entire Yang family stay here forever.

Living perpetually in the Spiritual Spring Space would be akin to imprisonment.

Yang Zhenshan thought it better for the four brothers, Yang Mingcheng and the others, to know this first, then gradually introduce more people once conditions within the Spiritual Spring Space mature, letting the whole Yang family slowly learn about the existence of the space.

This matter needs to be approached step by step, without haste.

…

Early the next morning.

The three brothers of Yang Mingcheng, each with their sons, arrived at Yang Zhenshan’s courtyard.

Yang Chengye was still in Chongshan Town, and Yang Cheng’an was still young, so in total, there were six grandchildren of the Yang family present: Yang Chengmao, Yang Chengxian, Yang Chengyou, Yang Chengzhang, Yang Chengzhen, and Yang Chengyu.

Yang Chengmao, the eldest, was already thirty-nine, and the youngest, Yang Chengyu, was eighteen.

“Grandsons greet grandfather!” The six brothers bowed respectfully upon seeing Yang Zhenshan come out.

“Alright, no need to bow, get up!”

Yang Zhenshan said kindly and gently.

He was always very affectionate toward his grandchildren; even as his temperament grew over the years, he remained loving to his grandsons.

Except for Yang Cheng’an, this boy was too mischievous, even more so than Yang Chengyou and Yang Chengzhang back in their day.

When they were young, Yang Chengyou and Yang Chengzhang were like mischievous monkeys, jumping around all day, but in comparison to Yang Cheng’an, they were nothing.

Yang Cheng’an loved to run everywhere; there was no place on Star Moon Island he couldn’t reach, climbing mountains to collect bird eggs, diving into the sea to catch fish. Once, he even secretly boarded a Yang family merchant vessel, and it wasn’t until the ship had sailed from the dock that the crew discovered a child on board.

Because of this boy, the fleet sailed more than twenty miles back to cautiously return him to the island.

Faced with such a restless young master, Yang Zhenshan could only drop his kindly facade and scold him harshly.

After the grandsons stood up, Yang Zhenshan said, “You all wait here first, Mingcheng, the three of you come over, I have something to discuss.”

The six brothers of Chengmao went to the front hall to wait, while Yang Zhenshan brought the three brothers of Yang Mingcheng to the tea room.

“Grab their arms!”

In the tea room, Yang Zhenshan said.

“Ah, how should we grab them?” Yang Mingcheng was a bit confused.

Why did they need to grab their arms?

Did Second Brother and Third Brother make a mistake, and Father feared they would run away?

Both Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao were puzzled.

Yang Zhenshan couldn’t be bothered to explain, directly grabbed Yang Mingcheng’s hand, and placed it on Yang Mingzhi’s arm, “Hold tight!”

“Oh oh~”

After Yang Mingcheng held their arms, Yang Zhenshan also placed his hand on Yang Mingcheng’s shoulder, and with a thought, the four vanished from the tea room.

To take people or things into the space, Yang Zhenshan need only touch them, but it wasn’t just a simple touch; Yang Zhenshan also had to intend it.

Touching is the prerequisite, while the intention is necessary.

For instance, with a chest filled with silver ingots, Yang Zhenshan could just touch the chest’s surface, choose to bring either the chest and its contents into the space, or just the chest, leaving the silver ingots to scatter once it disappears inside.

For a person, if Yang Zhenshan only grabbed their clothes, he could just bring the clothes into the space. However, that could be troublesome since clothes might stick together, so the simplest method was to take all their clothes, leaving the person naked.

Simply put, if Yang Zhenshan touches your clothes, with just a thought, he could strip you naked.

The exit point from the Spiritual Spring Space is fixed; Yang Zhenshan will exit from where he entered, relative to his position at entry.

If Yang Zhenshan entered the Spiritual Spring Space from a ship, he would exit on the ship, regardless of where the ship went, and not fall into the sea.

Entering the Spiritual Spring Space, the location is based on Yang Zhenshan’s intention; he could appear anywhere within it as he pleased.

He can essentially teleport within the Spiritual Spring Space, exiting and re-entering with just two thoughts, moving from the top of Spiritual Spring Mountain to the edge of the space.

Yang Mingcheng felt a blur before his eyes, then saw a lush forest, bewildered as he looked at the woods in front of him.

“Dad, where is this?”

Both Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao were equally confused.

They were now in front of a small courtyard, and the woods before them were the Spiritual Fruit Forest.

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard with a faint smile, “This is Dad’s greatest secret, the Spiritual Spring World, a world exclusively belonging to your father!”

The three were even more baffled, seemingly unable to understand what Yang Zhenshan was saying.

“Follow me!”

Yang Zhenshan walked toward the Spiritual Fruit Forest, the three followed with blank expressions.

“These are Three Yellow Plums, over here are Ice Heart Fruits!”

“There, those are Jade Dew Spirit Peaches, already over a hundred trees, with more than twenty that bear fruit!”

“These are Light Spirit Fruits; the Yijing Pills given to you before were refined from them!”

“Over there are Nether Light Fruits, Wind Spirit Fruits, Cloud Berry Fruits, Cold Pine Fruits, and more.”

“This is the Spiritual Spring, its lotuses are Flame Red Lotus and Taoist Intent Sacred Lotus. Flame Red Lotus is a Treasure Medicine you should have heard of; the Taoist Intent Sacred Lotus is Dad’s treasure, so be sure not to touch it recklessly!”

“Spiritual Spring Water has healing, body-strengthening, and potential-enhancing effects; you’ve drunk plenty before!”

Yang Zhenshan introduced as he walked.

Yang Mingcheng appeared enlightened, “So this is Dad’s Divine Water?”

“Divine Water?” Yang Zhenshan looked at Yang Mingcheng in surprise.

Yang Mingcheng chuckled sheepishly, gesturing as he explained, “I once saw Dad produce water from his fingers!”

“I also saw Dad give it to Chengye and Chengmao to drink!”

Yang Zhenshan was taken aback; secretly giving Spiritual Spring Water to Chengye and Chengmao had been ages ago when they were still young, and his supply was limited, allowing him to give them only small amounts.

Unexpectedly, Yang Mingcheng had long discovered this, but it wasn’t surprising; when you do something often by the water, eventually someone notices. Given how many times Yang Zhenshan did it, it was only natural that Yang Mingcheng found out.
