The Meeting Ends
Fourth, the allocation of the last two portions of Spirit Root Modification Resources.
More than ten years ago, Yang Tianyou discussed with the Old Ancestor the possibility of spending about ten years observing the cultivators in the clan and, based on their performance, bestowing upon them these two invaluable resources.
Ultimately, after evaluation, the two individuals with the most outstanding overall performance were Yang Tianshi, the Formation Hall, and Yang Lihe, the Agriculture Hall Master.
They received these two resources because of their outstanding contributions to the Lineage over the past ten years.
The former's contribution was mainly the improvement and arrangement of the Lineage's Nine Great Legacy Grounds, while the latter's contribution was mainly due to the Third Tier Tree Demon's Life-Origin Fruit Tree.
Of course, in addition to these major contributions, their achievements in other areas were in no way inferior to those of other hall masters.
Only by combining them can one obtain the Spirit Root Modification Resources.
With this resource, it won't be long before the Yang Household produces two more exceptional geniuses, and in twenty years, they will be able to add two more Golden Core Cultivators.
After the Lineage Small Meeting, the details of the Three-Month Twelve Stars Sequence Cultivation System spread rapidly throughout the Lineage.
Because this is the first selection, the timing has been adjusted. This was proposed by Yang Tianyou, with the aim of creating opportunities for certain Lineage geniuses, such as the two youngsters, Yang Yuqi and Yang Yujin.
The specific adjustment time is as follows.
The [Twelve Stars] will be selected three years later.
Selection in Three-Month, fifteen years later
After the first one, time will return to the Decennial [Twelve Stars] selection and the once-thirty-year [Three-Month] selection.
Inside the brightly colored courtyard, Yang Yuqi looked at the Communication Talisman sent by a friend from his clan, a look of interest on his face.
His cultivation level has now reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement, and it won't be long before he reaches the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
Once you reach that level, you should consider breaking through to the Foundation Establishment.
Although Yang Yuqi felt that with the Little Tree there, he wouldn't have much of a problem Foundation Establishment on his own, and that his foundation wouldn't be any worse than First-Class Foundation Establishment.
However, if he were to do that, it would easily attract attention, so he needed to find a good excuse for his advancement to the Foundation Establishment.
Becoming a member of a [Twelve Stars] Lineage is a great choice. Not only will you gain access to a large amount of resources, but you'll also come into the view of the Lineage's higher-ups and receive their attention.
What Yang Yuqi didn't know was that he had already come into the sights of the Lineage's higher-ups, and even the highest-ranking one, the Inheritance Elder Yang Tianyou.
"Okay, let's do it this way. Within three years, we'll focus on improving our Spirit Plant skills, temporarily suppressing our cultivation level, and striving to become one of the [Twelve Stars]."
There's also the Purple Moon Dharma Assembly ten years from now, which we must attend. This is the first grand event our Lineage has ever hosted, open to the entire Lu Wu Realm —it's not to be missed...
Meanwhile, inside a magnificent building, Yang Xuanle, dressed in an exquisite brocade robe and beaming with health, was talking to his most proud son, Yang Yujin.
"Yu Jin, the Lineage will be holding a [Twelve Stars] competition in three years. Are you confident?" Yang Xuanle asked with anticipation in his eyes.
Yang Yujin was a tall, handsome young man with a refined and elegant demeanor.
He glanced at his father, a helpless look on his face. "Father, you've asked me that a million times. I've already said I'm confident. Just wait and see if I can bring back the [Twelve Stars] title!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xuanle chuckled awkwardly and said ingratiatingly, "Father is just worried and confused. Of all my dozen or so brothers and sisters, you are the most talented and the one who has made me proud the most."
They say that thirty years ago, respect for sons was judged by their fathers; thirty years later, respect for fathers is judged by their sons. My future reputation depends on you.
"Alright, alright, Dad, I know. I'll make sure you have a lot of face in front of your friends," Yang Yujin said, somewhat amused and exasperated.
However, he did understand his father's feelings.
Almost everyone in the Yang Household Members knows Yang Xuanle, not because he is particularly talented, but because he is so good at marrying and having children.
To date, Yang Xuanle has had more than twenty wives, some of whom are Cultivators and others are Mortal.
With so many wives, he had borne thirty or forty children alone.
Among them, there are more than a dozen people with Spirit Roots, which is quite a high probability. In fact, Yang Lineage Elder once thought that Yang Xuanle had some kind of special physique and came to check him out.
It turned out that he was just an ordinary mortal with False Spirit Root aptitude. As for why he was so prolific and why his children had such a high probability of possessing Spirit Roots, no reasonable explanation could be found. In the end, it could only be attributed to the word "Fortune".
That said, the Yang Household has a policy to encourage childbirth; for every child born with Spirit Root, there is a corresponding subsidy.
Therefore, Yang Xuanle was able to receive a large sum of Spirit Stones as a subsidy simply by having a dozen or so children.
This allowed him to live a comfortable and leisurely life, yet he still lived better than other Yang Household Members who worked hard.
Under such circumstances, gossip naturally arose, and many clansmen looked down on Yang Xuanle, considering him a disgrace to the Lineage.
This is why Yang Xuanle became increasingly concerned about his reputation, dreaming of gaining the respect of others.
However, lacking in talent himself, he could only rely on his children.
Yang Xuanle was also fortunate; of his dozen or so children with Spirit Roots, five had True Spirit Roots and two had Two Spirit Roots, with Yang Yujin being the most outstanding among them.
Yang Yujin possesses both fire and Two Spirit Roots, and also has Half Li Fire Spirit Body. His upper body is almost entirely Spiritual Transformation, which makes his aptitude only slightly inferior to those with Mutant Spirit Roots.
That's not all. Yang Yujin's comprehension is even more terrifying, especially his understanding of Artifact Refining Dao. He grasps the knowledge of Artifact Refining very quickly and masters it in one go. He can be described as a born Artifact Refining prodigy.
Yang Yujin is only at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement Refining, yet he can already easily refine First-Tier Supreme-Grade Law Artifact.
Such talent even attracted the attention of Yang Dangmo, the master of the Artifact Hall. If he hadn't been busy guarding Goldwater Peak, he might have kept Yang Yujin by his side frequently to teach him.
It was precisely because of this exceptionally talented son that Yang Xuanle gradually gained more and more respect in front of his clansmen.
Therefore, Yang Xuanle was extremely concerned about the [Twelve Stars] selection three years later.
The title of "Lineage [Twelve Stars]" is so glorious. If his son could obtain it, Yang Xuanle would be laughing in his dreams.
Small bridges over flowing water, ancient trees reaching for the sky.
Inside the exquisite and elegant wooden house, Yang Lihe and his family were having dinner.
An exceptionally lavish feast of Spirit Cuisine was laid out on the table to celebrate Yang Lihe receiving Spirit Root Modification Resources.
"Congratulations, my husband! With this resource, achieving the Golden Core is a piece of cake!" Yang Tianyun raised her cup of Spirit Wine, a smile playing on her gentle and beautiful face.
"Li'er also congratulates Father on obtaining this great fortuitous opportunity!" Yang Xuanli has grown into a graceful young woman. Today, she specially Commander for leave to go home and celebrate her father's fortuitous opportunity together.
Yang Lihe looked at his wife and daughter and laughed heartily, "Haha, I never expected to obtain this Spirit Root Modification Resources. Speaking of which, Senior Shengyuan Life-Origin Fruit Tree played a significant role in it."
After saying this, Yang Lihe looked at his daughter, a thought struck him, and he smiled, "Li'er, how about I give you this Spirit Root Modification Resources?"
"Huh?" Yang Xuanli was taken aback, then her face showed anger. "Father, this is your fortuitous opportunity, how can you give it to your daughter? I have my own hands and feet, I can get whatever I want with my bow and sword, I don't need you to give it to me!"
"Yes, my husband, this is fortuitous opportunity given to you by the Lineage. How can you just give it away? Even if Li'er is your daughter, this is still inappropriate," Yang Tianyun said, frowning.
Hearing the mother and daughter both object, Yang Lihe gave a wry smile.
He was used to it; in the past, when there were good things, he always thought of his wife and daughter first, and this time was no exception.
For Yang Lihe, immortality and the Immortal Dao were not his ultimate pursuits.
What he cares about most is always the mother and daughter in front of him, followed by the Lineage that has shown him kindness and support, and as for the Immortal Dao, it can only be ranked third.
But Yang Lihe wasn't the only one who thought this way.
In this world, there are certainly many people who value immortality and attaining immortality above all else.
However, a large number of people value other things more, such as faith, family ties, Lineage, power, or loved ones...
For them, the Immortal Dao is only a part of life, but certainly not the whole of it.
It's like the lament of an Immortal before their passing. "Lonely immortality is no less than the deepest hell!"
