Snuffing Out the Flame

Purple Moon Mountain, the courtyard is still the same courtyard, except that there is now a lush, tall and straight Red Maple Tree.

Beneath the tree, Yunhua, its ethereal and moving music like celestial sounds.

Yang Tianyou leaned against a tree trunk, holding a yellowed book in his hand, reading it with great interest, while fruits and tea were readily available around him.

Not far away, Zhiming and Black and White were playing chess, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

The reason why there was no noise from Yuan Ba and Xuanyin's duel in the Martial Practice Ground was because Yunhua had specially set up Formation in the Martial Practice Ground to avoid being disturbed by the two of them.

Tongming went to study Formations with his Tenth Brother Yang Tianshi.

Interestingly, when Yang Tianyou first forced it to learn Formations, it was unwilling.

After only a few days of learning, the monkey became completely absorbed and unable to extricate itself. Its level of obsession was even comparable to that of Yang Tianshi, the formation fanatic.

With shared interests, the relationship between the human and the monkey progressed rapidly, and they soon became friends. In their spare time, they liked to huddle together and study Formations.

Seeing this, Yang Tianyou simply handed over the important task of improving the Seven-Star Heaven-Sealing Formation to Tongming, who gladly accepted.

As for Fengling, he was dragged around Purple Moon County by Little True Person Yueyang, experiencing the local customs and culture that were so different from those in the Chaotic Sea.

They both have childlike personalities. Although Fengling is incredibly intelligent, ruthless, and arrogant when fighting, she is still quite capable.

However, in daily life, he is just a child who never grows up, so he has a very good relationship with Little True Person Yueyang, who has the mind of an eleven or twelve-year-old, and they can play together very well.

Ruoqing was still Fengling's little shadow, following her wherever she went, inseparable.

The music ended as evening approached.

As the sun rises in the West, the afterglow paints half the sky a fiery red, like a continuous blazing fire.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Mother Duan Hongyu walked gracefully towards them.

Dinner is ready!

Holding the beautiful woman's hand, he summoned a few Spirit Beasts and they went back to the dining hall for a meal.

Around the round table, Yang Tianyou's family was enjoying a harmonious time. Before long, Little True Person Yueyang Fengling also returned and quickly found seats.

While eating, Yang Tianyou asked his parents about their cultivation progress after the Spirit Root transformation was completed.

Yang Qiongchu exclaimed, "I never imagined that cultivation could be so easy! Even the Golden Core Realm that I once dreamed of no longer seems so unattainable. It's as if I can climb up there and see a whole new world if I just work hard!"

Hearing her father's words, her mother, Duan Hongyu, agreed repeatedly, "Your father is right. These past few days, I've been practicing my cultivation Cultivation Method, and my speed of absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi has increased several times."

The Spiritual Qi I once vaguely sensed is now rushing into my body, as if there's something within me attracting them—it's truly incredible!

Hearing their parents' words, Yang Tianyou and Yunhua exchanged a smile.

With cultivation aptitude comparable to 80% of Heavenly Spirit Root, his cultivation speed was naturally exceptionally fast. In addition, his parents' previous cultivation aptitude was not good; they were both cultivators with Four Spirit Roots. As a result, the contrast before and after was simply too obvious, and it was normal to have such an unreal feeling.

At dawn, Purple Moon Mountain, Yang Haoyu breathed in Spiritual Qi as he greeted the sunrise, while Yang Tianyou flew out from the Yun Hai below.

Without disturbing the Old Ancestor's daily cultivation, he went to the stone table, picked up the Ginkgo Tea on the table, and skillfully brewed a cup.

A quarter of an hour later, the rosy clouds and purple purple qi in the sky dissipated completely, and Yang Haoyu slowly finished his practice.

"Old Ancestor, you know what, even Third Tier Spirit Tea can't compare to the taste of our Tier 2 Ginkgo Tea," Yang Tianyou said with a smile as he sipped his tea.

"That's because you're used to it. Once a habit is formed, it's very hard to change!" Yang Haoyu said with a smile as he sat down at the table.

She took out a plate of beautifully presented pastries and placed it on the table. "A few days ago, the flowers in the Spirit Medicine Garden were in bloom, so I specially picked some petals. Just a few days before Lihe sent some Amethyst Bee Honey, I decided to pick up my craft again and make these Hundred-Flower Cake. Would you like to try them?"

"The Old Ancestor can even cook Spirit Cuisine?" Yang Tianyou was stunned.

Yang Haoyu rolled her eyes at him, "Your Old Ancestor is, after all, a woman. What's wrong with knowing how to cook some Spirit Cuisine? It's just that I only know one or two kinds of Spirit Cuisine, nothing compared to your mother, a Spirit Cuisine Master!"

"Hehe, then grandson must have a good taste of the Old Ancestor's craftsmanship!" Yang Tianyou picked up a piece of Hundred-Flower Cake and put it in his mouth.

The rich floral aroma bursts in your mouth, incredibly sweet yet not cloying, with a lingering aftertaste that is truly delicious.

To be honest, Yang Tianyou never expected that his Old Ancestor had this skill. He thought she was like the woman in his family, whose Spirit Cuisine looked good but tasted terrible.

"Excellent! These Hundred-Flower Cake are truly wonderful. Our Old Ancestor was not only an Artifact Refining, but also an unparalleled expert in Spirit Cuisine!" Yang Tianyou gave a thumbs up and picked up another pastry to eat.

"You're so sweet-talking!" Yang Haoyu smiled slightly and began to talk about serious matters.

"The reason I asked you to come here is because there's something I want to discuss with you!"

"What is it?" Yang Tianyou asked vaguely, his cheeks puffed out and holding Spirit Tea in his hand.

"I want to reserve one of the four Lineage Spirit Root Modification Resources for Dang Long!"

"Thirteenth Granduncle?" Yang Tianyou was taken aback, then laughed, "I thought it was something serious! I was just about to discuss with the Old Ancestor about the remaining four portions of Spirit Root Modification Resources. I plan to use two portions, and use the remaining two as incentives for the clansmen to compete for!"

"Of the two vouchers used, one has already been confirmed for Fifth Granduncle Yang Dangmo, and I'm still hesitating about the other one. Since Old Ancestor has already made a recommendation, let's give it to Thirteenth Granduncle!"

Hearing this, Yang Haoyu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Dang Long has been hiding outside for the sake of the Lineage all these years, unable to return, and has not even left behind any offspring. He has sacrificed too much for Lineage. Consider this Spirit Root Modification Resources as compensation for his hard work and silent dedication over the years!"

Yang Tianyou nodded, "Our Old Ancestor is indeed very thoughtful. Thirteenth Granduncle has indeed worked hard and made great contributions, and deserves a reward from the Lineage!"

"You previously said that you would leave two portions of Spirit Root Modification Resources for the clansmen below to compete for. What kind of competition is that?" Yang Haoyu took a sip of Spirit Tea and asked curiously.

"That's right, I plan to set up a separate Trial Tower for the Foundation Establishment Realm, together with the previous Trial Tower for the Qi Refining Realm, as a test."

A ten-year period will be set for clansmen at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Realm to challenge the Trial Tower.

Whoever, during this period, performs well, will have these two portions of Spirit Root Modification Resources given to them for use!

"A test..." Yang Haoyu pondered for a moment, then nodded, "That's fine too, a fair and just competition, nothing less!"

"Well, speaking of which, it shouldn't be long after Fifth Granduncle finishes modifying his Spirit Root, he should be able to break through to the Golden Core stage. Luckily, I brought back a lot of Heavenly Spirit Flowers, which can come in handy!"

"The Heavenly Spirit Flower... requires a very high level of Alchemy skill to refine into Golden Core Formation Pill. Is Yunhua capable of that?"

"Don't worry about that, Old Ancestor. Yunhua has a very high talent for Dao of Alchemy. She has a high success rate in refining Third-Tier Upper-Grade Pills. Although refining Golden Core Formation Pills is quite difficult, it's not a problem for her either!" Yang Tianyou said, patting his chest, with a hint of pride in his voice.

Seeing his expression, Yang Haoyu smiled slightly and said nothing more.

"The various Lineage formerly under the Goldwater Sect have all come knocking on your door these days, wanting to see you. What are your plans regarding this?"

"I plan to let them wait and see how they perform before making a decision!" Yang Tianyou smiled.

"Alright, actually how to deal with these small Lineage is a minor matter. Let Dang Kai take care of it."

The key is that True Person Goldwater. His sect was destroyed, so he must be harboring resentment. A few days ago, news came from the Wang Household that True Person Goldwater left his low-level disciples to cultivate on their own in Spirit Mountain, while he himself disappeared.

It's difficult to find a Golden Core True Person who wants to hide, but this person is still a threat and must be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he becomes reckless and attacks the lower-level disciples of the Lineage, it will cause us great losses!

Yang Haoyu's gaze was solemn, and his words were filled with murderous intent.

"True Person Goldenlight..." Yang Tianyou smiled, "Old Ancestor, there's no need to worry. Within a month, I will surely eliminate this person for the sake of the Lineage!"

"Really?" Yang Haoyu's Shen Yi lit up. "Don't try to fool me!"

"When have I ever lied to our Old Ancestor?" Yang Tianyou said, taking out a Jade Slip. "Old Ancestor, please take a look!"

"This Jade Slip contains all of the Goldwater Sect's hidden plans, including its Shadow Halls, the three major treasure locations, its hidden assets, and its spies planted in other sects."

"I suspect the most likely places for True Person Goldwater to appear are, firstly, the Shadow Hall of the Goldwater Sect, and secondly, the treasure location. As long as we ambush him in these places beforehand, we're sure to catch him red-handed!"

Browsing through the information contained in the Jade Slip in his hand, Yang Haoyu was initially overjoyed.

Then she gave Yang Tianyou a deep look, "This method must never be revealed!"

"Grandson understands!" Yang Tianyou naturally knew what method his Old Ancestor was referring to, and nodded slightly.

Then, he took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Yang Haoyu, saying, "Old Ancestor, this is the former treasure trove of the Three Blazing Flame Palace. You can send people to search for it. You can mobilize Fengling and the others at will."

I must hurry and switch to cultivating the "White Tiger Heaven-Opening Scripture," striving to complete the transformation of all my cultivation before the Golden Core Banquet!

"Alright, you can go into seclusion with peace of mind. I will take care of all these matters perfectly!"

Half a month later, True Person Goldenlight, who was meeting with the Shadow Hall of the Goldwater Sect, was ambushed by Black and White, Fengling and Ruoqing, who were lying in ambush. He was killed on the spot and his soul was scattered.

The Shadow Hall of the Goldwater Sect was also completely eradicated by the Yang Household Members.

Only the nearly one hundred Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining disciples on the Third Tier Spirit Mountain remained, bewildered and filled with anxiety.

Ultimately, these disciples jointly pleaded with the Luochuan Sect to intervene and mediate.

The latter agreed that, with Taihao True Person as witness, these disciples, in front of Yang Haoyu, would establish Heavenly Dao Contract.

They swore that they would never seek revenge against the Yang Household in this lifetime, nor would their descendants or disciples, which finally earned Yang Haoyu's promise not to hunt them down anymore.

After this incident, the Goldwater Sect's flame was completely extinguished, leaving it with no possibility of recovery.

After witnessing the Yang Household's Thunder methods, other forces held this newly rising Lineage in even greater awe, further enhancing the Yang Household's reputation.
