Canglan Commandery
"Congratulations, Senior Shengyuan, on achieving the Third Tier!" Yang Lihe and the others from the Agriculture Hall stepped forward and bowed with excitement.
"Thanks to your careful nurturing, this is the Tree-Origin Qi that I generated after breaking through to the Third Tier. It will greatly benefit Human Race cultivation. Please accept it."
Having broken through to the Third Tier, the Life-Origin Fruit Tree was clearly in a good mood.
As soon as he finished speaking, lush green leaves floated out and flew towards Yang Lihe and the others.
Sensing the pure Spiritual Qi contained within the verdant Tree-Origin Qi of the leaves, the people of the Agriculture Hall quickly expressed their gratitude.
After a while, the crowd dispersed, and Yang Haoyu's figure quietly appeared.
"Greetings, Old Ancestor!" The Life-Origin Fruit Tree was taken aback, and as its branches and leaves swayed, it actually adopted a Human Race greeting.
"Shengyuan Daoist Friends, you've broken through to the Third Tier; the Spirit Fruit you've borne must have undergone Bloodline Metamorphosis as well, right?" Yang Haoyu asked with a smile.
"I dare not conceal this from our Old Ancestor. After breaking through to the Third Tier, the Life Shengyuan Life-Origin Fruits we have produced contain even purer life force, which should be able to extend the lifespan of living beings!" the Life-Origin Fruit Tree said honestly.
It's a pragmatic tree; it naturally knows who's in charge in this household.
While they might put on airs with other Yang Household Member, they were absolutely open and honest with Yang Haoyu, and incredibly obedient.
"Extend lifespan?" Yang Haoyu was startled and quickly asked, "Are you sure about this?"
"There's no mistake. I'm the one who produced the Shengyuan Life-Origin Fruit, and naturally no one knows its effects better than me," the Life-Origin Fruit Tree replied honestly.
"Longevity Spirit Fruit, Longevity Spirit Fruit..." Yang Haoyu paced back and forth, muttering these words.
Suddenly she raised her head, her gaze intense, and said, "Besides me and the Inheritance Elder, you must not tell any other members of the clan about this, understand?"
"The Shengyuan is obvious!"
The Life-Origin Fruit Tree wasn't stupid either. Having stayed with the Yang Household for so many years, it certainly knew how much Human Race valued Longevity Spirit Items.
"Alright, how long does it take for your Third Tier Life-Origin Fruit to bear fruit on average, how many fruits can it produce each time, and how much does each fruit extend one's lifespan?" Yang Haoyu pressed.
Without hesitation, the Life-Origin Fruit Tree said, "On average, it can produce six Life-Origin Fruits every thirty-six years. Each Life-Origin Fruit can extend the lifespan of Golden Core Cultivator by One Sexagenary Cycle years. The maximum number of fruits that can be consumed is three, which means an extension of one hundred and eighty years of lifespan!"
Furthermore, the life-extending effect of the Life-Origin Fruit is also useful for Nascent Soul Cultivators; however, each fruit should only extend lifespan by ten years, and only three can be consumed at a time. This is a rule of heaven and earth, and cannot be changed.
"Six Life-Origin Fruits in thirty-six years... If your cultivation improves, will you be able to produce even more fruits?" Yang Haoyu's eyes lit up.
"Of course," the Life-Origin Fruit Tree replied. "According to my estimation, if it can advance to the Third-Tier Middle-Grade, it can produce nine Life-Origin Fruits every thirty-six years; if it advances to the Third-Tier Upper-Grade, it can produce twelve Life-Origin Fruits."
"Thirty-six years, twelve Life-Origin Fruits... Alright, from today onwards, the Lineage will do its utmost to nurture you and strive to help you reach the Third-Tier Upper-Grade as soon as possible." Yang Haoyu made his promise, then chatted with the Life-Origin Fruit Tree for a few more words before excitedly flying out of the Spirit Medicine Garden.
Great White Residence, which is Yang Tianyou's home, was pierced by a streak of earth-yellow Escape Light that streaked across the sky. It was Yang Haoyu, who had rushed over to deliver the good news.
Inside the courtyard, Yang Tianyou and Yunhua were utterly shocked. They never expected that their Lineage would unexpectedly possess their own Longevity Spirit Items.
"Old Ancestor, this news must be kept secret. Longevity-extending spirit medicine are extremely rare, let alone a complete Longevity Spirit Tree. Its value is simply too great," Yang Tianyou said in a deep voice, his expression solemn.
"I understand your concerns. I've already instructed the Life-Origin Fruit Tree not to spread the word."
"That's good." Yang Tianyou breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with some doubt, "Could it be that all Third Tier Life-Origin Fruits have the effect of prolonging life? If so, Life-Origin Fruit Trees should be very sought after."
But as far as I know, there are no fewer than five factions in Luochuan Commandery alone that possess the Life-Origin Fruit Tree.
"The Seven Absolutes Sect's Life-Origin Fruit Tree has even reached the Third-Tier Middle-Grade, but we haven't seen these forces attach so much importance to Life-Origin Fruit Tree."
Upon hearing this, Yang Haoyu was also quite puzzled and couldn't figure it out.
At this moment, Yunhua spoke up, "husband, Old Ancestor, I wonder if it's because our family's Life-Origin Fruit Tree has mutated."
It should be understood that, normally, it is almost impossible for Life-Origin Fruit Tree to become a demon, and even using the Spirit-Awakening Water would have no effect whatsoever.
However, our Lineage's Life-Origin Fruit Tree turned into Tree Demon at the Tier 2, which is extremely rare.
"Yunhua's guess makes sense; that's very likely the reason." Yang Haoyu nodded in agreement.
"Never mind, whatever the reason, this Life-Origin Fruit Tree will become one of the Lineage's most valuable assets, no less valuable than the Void Worm," Yang Tianyou said with a smile.
"Yes, we'll need to put more effort into the Life-Origin Fruit Trees from now on. First, we need to implement proper protective measures."
Secondly, there's the matter of training. We should let Li He take on this responsibility. He's very experienced and is already Second-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Plant Master. Moreover, he was the one who cared for the Life-Origin Fruit Tree before, and its rapid breakthrough to the Third Tier was largely thanks to Li He,"Yang Haoyu said.
Yang Tianyou nodded slightly, "Speaking of this matter, Fifth Brother-in-law deserves a lot of credit. I think we should allocate more Lineage contribution points to him and the others in the Agriculture Hall as a reward!"
"Alright, I'll take care of this..."
The three discussed the matter for half an hour, and after confirming that everything was correct, Yang Haoyu transformed into Escape Light and left.
Yang Tianyou and his wife continued to refine their Combined Divine Ability.
On the other side, in Mo Province, Canglan Commandery.
In a large Market, Yang Danglong and other Yang Household Members temporarily settled down.
Inside the room, Yang Danglong, Yang Tianxue, Yang Qiongchuan, Wang Shan, Yang Xuanying, and Yan Xia Ke were discussing something.
Yang Tianxue's phoenix eyes flickered slightly, and she asked, "Thirteenth Granduncle, what did the White Cloud Sect say? Did they agree to our allegiance?"
Yang Danglong stroked his beard and smiled, "The White Cloud Sect is currently at war with the Fire Spirit Palace. At such a time, it's natural that we wouldn't refuse the allegiance of a Golden Core Force."
Upon hearing this, everyone else laughed.
At this moment, Yan Xia Ke asked, "Thirteenth Ancestor, what was the name of the force you reported?"
"Hidden Dragon Sect! What do you think? This is the name of the sect I, True Person Youlong, established. Is it alright?" Yang Danglong chuckled.
Hearing his words, the other tribesmen exchanged glances but said nothing. It was just a name; it didn't matter what they were called.
"Thirteenth Ancestor, has the White Cloud Sect assigned us any tasks?" Wang Shan asked.
"There are no missions for the time being. Everyone should focus on cultivating during this period. I predict that it won't be long before the White Cloud Sect sends our Hidden Dragon Sect into battle!" Yang Danglong's expression turned serious.
"If we go into battle, the Qi Refining Clan won't participate. It will just be me and the ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators of yourselves. This is for two reasons: first, to facilitate our movements, and second, to avoid unnecessary casualties among the Qi Refining Clan. Only by establishing a Foundation Ground first, and using that as a base to cultivate more new forces, can we gradually grow stronger. Do you understand?"
"Yes." The other five clasped their fists in greeting, then discussed for a while before dispersing to focus on their cultivation.
