Return and Parting
Seeing that the two members of the Liu Household had finished their selections, Yang Tianyou nodded slightly in his heart. Liu Changqing was not greedy and stopped there, choosing only three Spirit Items, which was largely to show the Liu Household's sincerity.
Since the Yang Household has conceded some benefits and shown goodwill, the Liu Household should naturally respond in kind. After all, the marriage alliance will not only benefit the Yang Household, but the Liu Household will also gain a great deal of benefits.
After Liu Lingyu finished making his selection, Yang Tianyou began to choose his favorite Spirit Items.
In the end, he chose seven Spirit Items: the Nine-Tiger Golden Bell, the complete corpse of the Golden-Scaled Beast Crimson-Flame Eagle, the complete corpse of the Crimson Flame Eagle, two pieces of Second-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Materials, a Second-Tier Middle-Grade Formation Disc, and a Second-Rank Low-Grade light blue Flying Shuttle.
Of these seven Spirit Items, three were chosen by Yang Tianyou for himself. The Nine-Tiger Golden Bell goes without saying, and the other two are the corpse of the Golden-Scaled Beast and the light blue Flying Shuttle.
The Golden-Scaled Beast is a Metal Attribute Demon Beast. Its Essence Blood can be used to refine Spirit Ink, its Beast Hide can be used to refine Blank Talisman Paper, and its claws, teeth, scales, etc. also have their uses. They can be used to practice and improve Artifact Refining skills.
Yang Tianyou had no intention of learning Artifact Refining crafting; he only wanted to learn the method of crafting a Law Artifact, namely a "knife."
Once the Twin Blades are refined into life-bound Law Artifact, the latter can advance its rank by absorbing the Power of Metal.
However, in this process, understanding some knowledge of Artifact Refining can greatly help the advancement and growth of Law Artifacts, and it is no exaggeration to say that it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The light blue Flying Shuttle was chosen for its ease of travel. It is a small flying Law Artifact, unlike Flying Boat, and can only carry three to five people at most, but its speed is extremely fast, often faster than Flying Boat of the same level, making it most suitable for solo travel.
Aside from these three Spirit Items for personal use, the remaining Spirit Items are urgently needed by the Lineage.
Needless to say, the two pieces of Second-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Materials are of great value. The Yang Household is skilled in Artifact Refining, so high-grade Spirit Materials and Spirit Gold are often in short supply. Now that they have come across them, they naturally want to take them for themselves.
As for the Crimson-Flame Eagle's corpse, it was also used to refine magical Law Artifacts, or more precisely, to refine Flying Boats.
The skeletons of avian Demon Beast beasts are very suitable for crafting flying magical Law Artifacts, especially boats and similar vessels. The Yang Household's Crimson Wing Boat was crafted using the skeleton of Second-Tier Middle-Grade Red-Wing Flying Eagle as its Dragon Bone, making it extremely fast.
The last second -Second-Tier Middle-Grade Formation Disc was to make up for the Lineage's shortcomings.
The Yang Household is not skilled in Formations. Their only Tier 2 Formation Master, Yang Danglong, is the Shadow Hall and cannot easily show himself. Therefore, the Yang Household has a very small number of Formation Disc and Formation Flags in stock.
After the battle at Bianhe Mountain, Yang Tianyou felt that his Defense System was not perfect enough. He thought it would be best to add several more layers of Formation Shield, about seven or eight layers would be enough, um... that should be about right.
It was precisely because of this "fear of insufficient defense" that Yang Tianyou chose this second -Second-Tier Middle-Grade Formation Disc to supplement the deficiencies in the Lineage's Formations.
After selecting their desired treasures, the remaining resources were quickly divided up between the two.
Besides Spirit Items, the spoils also included some knowledge-based treasures such as Cultivation Method and Law Technique. These were not divided proportionally, but were copied onto blank Jade Slips and given to each family in one copy.
Among these Jade Slips and ancient texts, the most precious is the Zhao Household's famous Cultivation Method, the "White Tiger Seven-Kill Instruction," which is also Zhao Leicong's main cultivation Cultivation Method. It can be cultivated to the fifth level of the Golden Core stage, which is quite extraordinary.
However, to Liu Changqing's disappointment, apart from the "White Tiger Seven-Kill Instruction," there was not a single other precious Cultivation Method or classic text obtained by the Zhao Household from the Dragon Valley Hall's Scripture Repository. Even the Zhao Household's own Cultivation Methods, Law Technique, and classic texts were not stored in Zhao Leicong's Storage Ring.
This copy of "The White Tiger Seven-Kill Instruction" was obtained by Zhao Leicong because he was used to carrying it with him, or perhaps he took a chance and didn't let his clansmen, who were supposed to be his backup plan, take it away.
According to Yang Tianyou's estimation, all the various Cultivation Method and classic texts in the Zhao Household Scripture Repository should be in the hands of the Zhao Household Remnants. The Scripture Repository left on Bianhe Mountain is most likely an empty shell, with at most one or two books placed there symbolically. It is impossible for them all to have been left behind.
Of course, while Liu Changqing was disappointed, Yang Tianyou was more secretly pleased. He didn't want the Liu Household to obtain the Cultivation Method and classic texts in the Dragon Valley Sect's Scripture Repository; after all, the less influence these things had, the better.
It's important to understand that once you grasp the opponent's cultivation Cultivation Method, you can take targeted countermeasures. During battle, disrupting the opponent's Spiritual Power flow can make victory much easier.
This is why major powers prohibit the leakage of their unique Cultivation Method, in order to prevent such a situation from occurring.
Despite his disappointment, Liu Changqing was still satisfied with the results of the operation.
Not only did he not lose a single member of his clan, but he also gained Cultivation Resources worth seventy to eighty thousand Spirit Stones. As a result, Liu Changqing's smile never stopped on his way back to his Lineage.
At Dawn, the Stars Emerge, At Dusk, the Sunlight Hangs.
Before we knew it, the night had quietly passed, the Rising Sun was rising, the stars had dimmed, and a new day had begun.
After parting ways with the Liu Household, Yang Tianyou led the Yang Household members on a swift journey and soon returned to Purple Moon Mountain.
The morning sun was very warm, and as the Cold Tide receded, this warmth made people feel even more cheerful.
Upon his return, Yang Tianyou made no attempt to conceal his presence. With the Zhao Household eliminated, there was no need to hide his fighting prowess any longer; demonstrating his strength was now more pressing.
Upon arriving at the Purple Moon Mountain, Yang Haoyu had been waiting for a long time in front of the Bamboo House. Seniors Jin Lianri and Zheng Qiufeng were also there, both looking at him with smiles.
"Old Ancestor, Ancestors, Senior Jin, Senior Zheng!" Yang Tianyou bowed respectfully.
Nodding slightly, Yang Haoyu's eyes were full of satisfaction. She parted her lips slightly and said with a smile, "Tianyou, you've really encountered fortuitous opportunity this time. Senior Jin has given you three days to comprehend the Divine Ability Stele. This is an opportunity that many people can only dream of. Hurry up and thank Senior Jin."
"Thank you so much, Senior Jin, for this fortuitous opportunity. I, Yang Tianyou, will always remember this kindness. When I achieve success in my cultivation in the future, I will never forget your guidance and care!" Yang Tianyou bowed again, his expression extremely sincere.
"Hehe, you're Xiao Ge's good friend, so naturally you're my junior too. We're family, so there's no need for formalities. Consider this enlightenment a gift from me, your elder." Jin Lianri chuckled, helping Yang Tianyou up, and said very kindly.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yang Tianyou said, "Senior, could we postpone the matter of studying the Divine Ability Stele for half a day? Let me adjust my condition before I begin my study."
"Of course, you can go and prepare. When you're ready, come find me at the Purple Moon Mountain."
"Yes."
Yang Tianyou bowed and withdrew, then transformed into golden light and disappeared into the Yun Hai.
