Great White Residence
After paying their respects to Yang Haoyu, the group flew towards Great White Residence.
Along the way, the teenagers from Coiled Snake Island were discussing among themselves.
"So our Old Ancestors were so kind! They seem Taiyi from what's described in the clan records."
"Hmm, the clan records state that our Old Ancestor was decisive and ruthless in his killings, but I didn't expect his aura to be so peaceful."
"Tell me, what level of cultivation did our Old Ancestor reach? She was the first Golden Core Cultivator in our Yang Household."
"I don't know. With our shallow cultivation, how could we possibly discern our Old Ancestor's realm? But it should at least be the Middle Golden Core, right?"
"What I'm more curious about now is whether my Nineteenth Uncle is also different from the one described in the clan history."
"My Nineteenth Uncle is Blade Cultivator; his demeanor must be quite domineering, right?"
At the front of the group, Yang Xuanwu and Yang Yuqi listened to the boys' chatter and smiled, recalling the first time they visited Yang Tianyou when they were young.
This same expression reflects a range of emotions, including anticipation, excitement, and trepidation.
Azure Cloud moved very quickly, and soon arrived above Great White Residence.
The group of teenagers looked down and saw a courtyard of moderate size, standing peacefully on the mountainside.
Ancient vines and yellow flowers, red walls and green tiles, a babbling stream flows by the courtyard, and wisps of Spiritual Qi float up, transforming into various unique and strange scenes.
Arriving at the pale purple gate, Yang Xuanwu took a deep breath and gently knocked.
A moment later, the door slowly opened, and a small black dog with oily black fur, a round body, and a pair of big ears stood behind the threshold, its dark eyes scanning them up and down.
"Greetings, Uncle Zhiming!" Yang Xuanwu said respectfully, and Yang Yuqi also addressed him as "Granduncle Zhiming" and bowed with clasped hands.
"Yes, Master is currently cultivating, Mistress is visiting friends. Please come in with me!" Zhiming said, then turned around and led the way.
Behind them, the youths whispered among themselves, "Is this Nineteenth Uncle, one of the seven Bonded Spirit Beasts?"
"Hmm, I've heard that Old Ancestor Zhiming possesses unfathomable abilities of Detection, I wonder if it's true!"
"Why don't you take a guess?" Zhiming's voice suddenly rang in the minds of the boys.
"Huh?..." The boys were startled.
Yang Yuhao muttered to himself, "Why is Granduncle Zhiming eavesdropping on their conversation?"
"I wasn't eavesdropping. Your methods of transmitting sound are too crude; you didn't even need to use Divine Abilities to hear everything clearly!"
"I'm speaking in my mind, and Granduncle Zhiming can hear me?" Yang Yuhao was startled.
"I can't hear you, I'm just guessing!"
"..." A black line appeared on Yang Yuhao's forehead.
Upon entering the courtyard, a rich Spiritual Qi immediately greets you.
The group followed Zhiming along the cobblestone path.
Rare Flowers and Exotic Herbs swayed along the roadside, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.
These are all spirit medicine, and the lowest grade is First-Tier Superior-Grade. There are also many Third Tier spirit medicine, which are far more precious than the Spirit Medicine Garden on the Purple Moon Mountain, leaving the young people in awe.
Zhiming floated in mid-air, his short legs pointing to one of the spirit medicine, and said to Yang Yuqi, "Little Qi, I don't know what's wrong with my Purple Poria cocos. It's suddenly become listless these past few days. Could you take a look at it for me later?"
"Granduncle Zhiming, don't worry, it's a small problem. Leave it to me." Yang Yuqi smiled. He was quite familiar with Zhiming because the latter often consulted him about spirit medicine herbs.
Yang Tianyou once gave each of the seven Spirit Beasts a Hundred Arts of Cultivation.
Zhiming studied Dao of Alchemy and had access to the profound and extensive "Four Symbols Pill Canon" for him to study.
Because of its strong bloodline, it doesn't need to cultivate on a daily basis; its cultivation level rises steadily simply through natural growth.
Therefore, he devoted most of his remaining time to cultivating the Dao of Alchemy.
Decades later, Zhiming has become a true Dao of Alchemy Grandmaster, capable of refining Third-Tier Upper-Grade Pills. Among the several Third Tier Alchemists in the Yang Household, he is only slightly inferior to Yunhua.
Zhiming is usually in charge of taking care of all the spirit medicine planted in Great White Residence.
However, everyone has their own expertise. While Alchemists certainly need to learn about the properties of spirit medicine herbs, this does not mean that they are all proficient in the ways of Spirit Plants.
Some spirit medicine may encounter difficult problems during cultivation that are hard to solve. In such cases, a professional Spirit Plant Master is needed.
As the "inspector" of the Yang Household, Zhiming naturally knew who in the Lineage had the highest level of expertise in Spirit Plants.
It captured Yang Yuqi a long time ago to use him as a conscript.
Of course, this process also brings many benefits to the latter.
With Yang Tianyou as his master, Zhiming certainly had no shortage of high-grade Spirit Medicine Seeds, cultivation manuals for Spirit Plants, and so on.
In fact, Zhiming played a significant role in Yang Yuqi's rapid growth.
For these reasons, the two had a very good relationship. Zhiming often visited Yang Yuqi to play chess, chat, and discuss the ways of Spirit Plants.
As they walked slowly, the group arrived at the courtyard where Yang Tianyou lived, where lush Red Maple Trees came into view.
It was dusk, the setting sun casting its last rays upon the maple leaves, creating a scene resembling a blazing, fiery red fire.
"Please make yourselves at home. I'll go get some pastries and tea. The master usually finishes his cultivation in about half an hour, and then you'll be able to see him!" Zhiming instructed, then took his short legs and slowly walked through the air, entering the house in no time.
Thump!! Thump!!
At this moment, a series of subtle vibrations came from the northwest, and faintly, one could hear the clanging sound of metal striking metal.
The young men from the Yang Household were very curious, so they followed the sound and walked to the north side of the courtyard.
They quickly discovered the source of the sound.
It was an extremely vast Martial Practice Ground, concealed by Formation, making it difficult for outsiders to detect; it could only be seen from within this courtyard.
On the Martial Practice Ground, reinforced by layers of Formations and with a hardness no less than that of Third Tier Spirit Gold, two Spirit Beasts were fiercely fighting.
A mythical ape-like Spirit Beast, its entire body covered in Scarlet Gold fur, stood three zhang tall with bulging muscles. In its hand, it held a blazing red iron rod, the rod covered with mysterious patterns and surrounded by terrifying flames.
Each swing of the stick leaves a dark trail in the air.
The other Spirit Beast was a five-colored rooster with a fiery red comb, brilliant feathers, and a pair of iron claws that gleamed with a cold light.
The Five Elements flowed and intertwined on its wings, and with a casual movement, streaks of Five-Colored Divine Light shot out, striking the Flame-Blazing Ape opposite.
The clash between the two, with its exquisite combat techniques and Law Power applications, captivated the young viewers, leaving them mesmerized.
Those who followed the path of the Dharma-Protecting War God Way, in particular, gained many insights and benefited greatly from it.
