Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 890: Chapter 646: Spiritual Spring Space’s First Batch of Residents (Part 2)

"Master, please take me as your disciple!" Sui Qingmo looked at Yu Qingyi with a face full of longing.

Even though she was a woman over fifty years old, her eyes were still so clear, so pitiable.

A beauty is always a beauty; even in old age, she remains unignorable in her beauty.

Seeing her like this, Yu Qingyi extended a hand to help her up and said with a smile, "Get up. Since you wish to become my disciple, I will thicken my face and accept you!"

It’s common for Innate Martial Artists like Yu Qingyi to take on disciples. Which Innate Martial Artist doesn’t have several disciples? But directly taking an Innate Martial Artist as a disciple is quite rare.

Upon entering the Innate realm, one is a cut above.

This is truly being a cut above, not because of changes in status brought by power and influence but being superior on a life level.

It was Yang Minghao who suddenly came up with this tricky idea, which made Sui Qingmo decide to seek out a master.

Of course, the main reason was that the Yang family offered too much, making Sui Qingmo eager to bow down and worship.

"Disciple greets Master!" Sui Qingmo didn’t have many complex thoughts.

Although she was an Innate Martial Artist, she was a wild Innate Martial Artist.

She had no family heritage and no master-apprentice lineage; though she had received guidance from seniors, most of her cultivation was self-explored.

She could become an Innate Martial Artist mainly due to her extraordinary talent.

She had never had a master before, so now accepting a master was easy for her to accept mentally.

Yu Qingyi helped her up, "Since you have acknowledged me as your master, I should also give you a meeting gift, right?"

"What should it be?"

Yu Qingyi pondered for a moment, then turned her head to look at Hongyun next to her and smiled, "Go to the front yard and ask the master for two Yijing Pills, as a meeting gift for your junior sister!"

The Yijing Pill, a Spirit Pill primarily made from the Light Spirit Fruit, has the effect of expanding and nurturing the meridians.

The meridians are the foundation for the operation of Innate True Qi and the channel through which Innate Martial Artists control Innate True Qi. Generally speaking, the more resilient the meridians, the greater the explosive power of Innate True Qi; the wider the meridians, the faster an Innate Martial Artist can cultivate True Qi.

Therefore, the Yijing Pill is a very practical pill for Innate Martial Artists.

At present, there are already many Light Spirit Fruits in the Spiritual Spring Space, but Yang Zhenshan has not included the Yijing Pill in the cultivation salary, because it’s quite a hassle to make.

It’s much more troublesome than the True Essence Pill, Ice Heart Jade Pill, and about the same as the Soul-attaching Pill.

Now Yang Zhenshan can make it, but Wang Mingzhe still cannot, so Yang Zhenshan has not distributed a large amount of Yijing Pills.

Once Wang Mingzhe can make Yijing Pills proficiently, Yang Zhenshan will consider distributing Light Spirit Fruits to everyone.

The current limitation on the number of Spirit Pills is not due to the Spirit Fruits, but the Alchemists.

Although Xingyue Island has been cultivating Alchemists for several years, those who can actually make Spirit Pills are just Yang Zhenshan and Wang Mingzhe; others still need a few more years of practice.

With his wife’s request, Yang Zhenshan naturally had no reason to refuse, though he was a little surprised at Yu Qingyi taking Sui Qingmo as a disciple.

Of course, he was just a little surprised and had no thought of stopping it.

Just taking a disciple, it’s not a big deal.

Yu Qingyi’s disciples are few but there are a few.

Qingxia, Hongyun, and Yulu are all Yu Qingyi’s disciples.

With the title of master and disciple, Sui Qingmo living on Star Moon Island is now justified.

Yang Zhenshan was also not in a hurry to let her go to the Dajing Dynasty, anyway, the Dajing Dynasty side has stabilized, and Sui Qingmo staying on Star Moon Island for more days is no problem.

However, the relocation of the Yang family to Divine Wood Island has already been put on the agenda.

In May, various families on Star Moon Island had already sent some people and servants to Divine Wood Island to clean residences, arrange furniture, and prepare various materials.

Meanwhile, the government also recruited a group of young men to Divine Wood Island to build houses and residences.

When time reached early June, the first batch of immigrants from Tenglong Guard arrived at Divine Wood Island, and this time Yu Tonghai and Xue Ping brought not young people, but young couples.

They were in their early twenties, some just married not long, and some married a few years with children.

They are relatives of the Beihai Navy officers, either descendants or brothers and nephews.

Although the battle against Divine Wood Island and the Taluo Dynasty ended very simply, Yang Zhenshan would naturally not go back on his previous promises.

The promised land still has to be given.

However, houses needed to be built by themselves, land needed to be reclaimed by themselves, and even villages and towns needed to be constructed by themselves.

Of course, the Yang family would provide them various living necessities, at least ensuring their expenses for one year.

Moving from Star Moon Island to Divine Wood Island is a tremendously complicated matter.

It involves not just people but also numerous materials.

For example, the Book Collection Building needs to be entirely relocated to Divine Wood Island.

Then, there’s the various materials stored by the business and government, the various commercial goods and so on.

For the relocation, the government has mobilized all the people on Star Moon Island.

From Star Moon Island to Divine Wood Island, everywhere is a bustling scene.

Just like that, until the late June, Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi also moved to Divine Wood Island.

New home, new yard, the two enthusiastically arranged their new home.

This yard is larger than the one on Star Moon Island, especially the front yard, which is much more spacious.

Because earlier it housed Chang Lin’s family, and as the High Priest of the Divine Wood Sect, Chang Lin had quite a few descendants.

A yard this large for Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi to live in is actually a bit empty.

But there is no choice; either the old couple lives here themselves, or they have the children live with them, but the yard cannot accommodate so many people. They can’t let some live with them while others live on their own, which would affect family harmony.

After being busy for two days, Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi finally arranged their new home properly.

"Father, everything is arranged!"

Just after Yang Zhenshan finished setting up the new home, Yang Mingcheng came over.

"Oh, then let’s go!" Yang Zhenshan was not surprised, put down the book in his hand, and followed Yang Mingcheng to his courtyard.

In his courtyard stood many people, all young couples, with some children, totaling about one hundred and thirty people.

"Greetings to the old master!"

Seeing Yang Zhenshan arrived, everyone hurriedly kowtowed and greeted.

In Yang Zhenshan’s own courtyard, he is the master; over at Yang Mingcheng, he becomes the old master.

"All of you, rise!" Yang Zhenshan said with a smile.

Everyone stood up, quietly waiting for Yang Zhenshan to speak.

Yang Zhenshan’s gaze swept across them, spotting many familiar faces.

For instance, Wu Hai’s grandson; what’s his name, Yang Zhenshan forgot.

And Ms. Wang’s nephew, who is Yang Mingcheng’s third brother-in-law’s son.

The Yang family’s earliest five marital connections: the Lu family, the Wang family, the Li family, the Jiang family, and the Liang family.

No need to elaborate on the Lu family; since Lu Wenquan made a name for himself, the Lu family has also risen.

Nor the Liang family; Mr. Liang has passed away, and the Liang family’s cloth business is long gone. Now Liang Xiu is still serving as an official in Chongshan Town, assisting Luo Bo as Yang Chengye’s right-hand man.

Luo Bo is Luo Shang’s grandson.

The remaining Wang, Li, and Jiang families were ordinary farmers. Although they gained much benefit after the rise of the Yang family, they did not quickly rise.

It is exceedingly hard for small families to rise, not because Yang Zhenshan didn’t want to help them, but because there was no way to do so.

Just take Ms. Wang’s three brothers as an example; when Yang Zhenshan was in Chongshan Town, he wanted to find them positions but couldn’t, since they are illiterate; what could be expected from them?

In contrast, the Lu family was different. Lu Wenchun and Lu Wenhua, the two brothers, could be cultivated because they had abilities themselves.

Certainly, the Wang family’s second generation was lacking, but the third generation began to develop.

The third generation of Wang family members studied and learned martial arts in the clan school of the Yang Family Village, maybe not becoming great talents, but at least securing jobs or helping the Yang family manage certain matters.

Since the Yang family moved to Star Moon Island, the Jiang, Wang, and Li families have sent their descendants over.

Now, these three families have young talents emerging too, but since there are so many young talents under the Yang family’s banner, they seem a bit inconspicuous.
