A Sexagenary Cycle Flew By (16)
As soon as Life-Origin Fruit Tree finished speaking, a clear look of joy flashed across Yang Haoyu's eyes.
A single Life-Origin Fruit can extend the lifespan of Golden Core Cultivator by 360 years and Nascent Soul Cultivator by 180 years. With such a significant increase in lifespan, the probability of breaking through to a higher realm skyrockets. No wonder that in the Cultivation World, the price of Longevity Spirit Items remains consistently high, making them extremely rare and sought-after.
Looking at the lush Life-Origin Fruit Tree in front of him, Yang Tianyou asked, "What about Spirit Transformation cultivators? How much of their lifespan can one Life Life-Origin Fruit extend?"
The Life-Origin Fruit Tree pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "The life level of Spirit Transformation cultivators is much higher; a single Life-Origin Fruit can at most extend their lifespan by thirty or forty years."
"Thirty or forty years..." Yang Tianyou's face showed a thoughtful expression.
Although it's a small amount, for cultivators who can't find Longevity Spirit Items and whose lifespans are nearing their end, even an extension of ten years is something they'd be willing to pay a high price for.
"Now that you have broken through to the Nascent Soul, your future salary will be tripled, and your share of the Golden Sun Divine Spring will be increased fivefold. Strive to break through to the Fifth Tier Spirit Transformation realm as soon as possible!" Yang Tianyou said with a smile as he looked at the Life-Origin Fruit Tree.
"Inheritance Elder!" The Life-Origin Fruit Tree quickly expressed its gratitude, feeling very pleased with itself.
You don't have to do anything else; all you need to do is deliver results on time, and your cultivation level and salary will skyrocket. Where else can you find such a wonderful thing?
Then, Yang Tianyou looked at Yang Yuqi and said softly, "Yu Qi, you have made a contribution to cultivating the Life-Origin Fruit Tree. You are rewarded with 100 advanced Contribution Points. I hope you will continue your efforts and cultivate more valuable Spirit Plants for the Lineage!"
After the Yang Household reformed the Contribution Points system, Contribution Points were also divided into three levels, similar to the upper, middle, and lower grades of Spirit Stones.
One low-level Contribution Points corresponds to one Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
One intermediate Contribution Points corresponds to one Middle-Grade Spirit Stone.
One advanced Contribution Points corresponds to one Upper-Grade Spirit Stone.
One hundred advanced Contribution Points is quite a lot; it's enough to buy two Fourth Tier Law Treasure.
"Thank you very much, Nineteenth Uncle!" Yang Yuqi bowed deeply, his face beaming with joy.
Contribution Points are always a welcome addition. Yang Yuqi himself doesn't have a huge need for Contribution Points, but his wife, Yang Xuanli, is more important. She has good comprehension but lacks aptitude. If she wants to break through to the Nascent Soul, one Nascent Soul Pill probably won't be enough, so he needs to prepare more.
In addition, there are his several newborn grandsons who will inevitably need his support as they embark on the path of cultivation, and all of this will require Contribution Points.
After spending half a day in the Spirit Medicine Garden, inspecting the growth of various spirit medicine and Spirit Trees, Yang Tianyou and his wife, along with Yang Haoyu, left satisfied.
Yang Yuqi, the Agriculture Hall Master, was very responsible and managed the Spirit Medicine Garden in an orderly manner. Every spirit medicine exuded vitality, which was delightful.
Slaughter Valley is filled with billowing black and red Sha Qi. Cultivators with lower levels of cultivation are easily corrupted by this Sha Qi if they stay here for a long time.
Of course, if one can withstand the Sha Qi through sheer willpower, then one's own Law Power will undergo a miraculous Bloodline Metamorphosis, becoming even more lethal.
For this reason, Slaughter Valley has become a kind of "treasure land" for the Lineage, where many clansmen come to hone their will, Bloodline Metamorphosis their Law Power, and improve their combat strength.
Deep in the valley, the Portal to the Blood Moon Secret Realm stands, and through this ten-zhang-high blood-red gate, one can seemingly glimpse the tragic scene within the Secret Realm.
One after another, Wild Beasts, Demon Beasts, and Spirit Beasts were slaughtered by the cultivators of the Yang Household Spirit Cuisine Hall. Their Resentment Qi, Blood Qi, and soul power dissipated and were absorbed by the Secret Realm. After being transformed by Wolf Ancestor Peak, they formed pieces of Soul-Gathering Stones, drops of Yin-Soul Liquid, and a pool of bone-chilling Cold Yin Water.
Yang Tianyou entered the Secret Realm's Portal and looked up to see the Blood Moon shining brightly in the sky, with pale red clouds drifting across the horizon. On the ground, slaughterhouses stood side by side, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Blood flowed freely on the ground, then was gradually absorbed by the Secret Realm and slowly disappeared.
The Blood Moon in the sky radiated a crimson glow, and Sha Qi Blood Qi and malevolent energy rose up, which were swallowed, refined, and absorbed by the blood-red divine wolf phantom hidden within, transforming into the Origin Power the Secret Realm's origin, continuously propelling the Blood Moon Secret Realm to expand.
Thanks to the Yang Household's unremitting efforts over the past century, the Blood Moon Secret Realm has expanded to nearly twice its original size, spanning over 900 miles from north to south. Although it is still far inferior to the Three Blazing Flame Palace Secret Realm, it has moved beyond its initial stage and can now rank in the middle among all Yellow-Grade Secret Realms.
Wearing an apron around his waist, with a large belly and his face jiggling with fat, Yang Xuanyang stood quietly in front of the Chopping Block. On the Chopping Block, which was stained black and red, lay a bovine Demon Beast that was struggling incessantly.
Yang Xuanyang chuckled, revealing his gleaming white teeth. His smile appeared gentle, but it actually betrayed a deep-seated coldness—the laugh of a butcher.
With a gentle thrust of his boning knife, he twisted it sharply, causing the bovine Demon Beast to tremble violently as blood gushed out as if it were free.
Then, countless blade shadows flashed by, unleashing a chilling, ruthless, and all-consuming Blade Intent that sent shivers down one's spine.
With a clang, the boning knife sat diagonally on the Chopping Block.
The bovine Demon Beast was still struggling desperately, but as lotus flowers of flesh and blood bloomed, the world returned to peace.
The snow-white bones were devoid of any flesh or blood, as white as jade, and one could even see the marrow within, making them resemble works of art.
Strips of meat, resembling blooming petals, are laid out on the Chopping Block, creating a bloody yet beautiful sight.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Applause erupted, and Yang Tianyou smiled and praised, "What a Slaughtering Blade! What a butcher!"
"Greetings, Nineteenth Uncle!" Yang Xuanyang quickly walked over and bowed.
"Good, good, good!" Yang Tianyou patted his shoulder and said "good" three times in a row.
Yang Tianyou, whose Blade Dao had already reached the Minor Achievement mastery of Blade Force intent, could easily see that his nephew's Blade Intent was not far from the Force Realm.
He never expected that his decision to put Yang Xuanyang in charge of the Blood Moon Secret Realm would actually lead Yang Xuanyang to find his own path.
His mastery of the Blade Dao advanced by leaps and bounds.
Although he is currently only at the Middle Golden Core realm, with his Great Perfection Slaughtering Blade Intent, even a Late Golden Core cultivator would likely be no match for Yang Xuanyang.
Once his Blade Intent breaks through and advances to Blade Force, it will only be a matter of time before Yang Xuanyang breaks through to the Nascent Soul.
"It's all thanks to the insights into the Blade Dao that my Nineteenth Uncle sent me; otherwise, how could I have made such progress?" Yang Xuanyang said modestly, a simple and honest smile on his chubby face.
It's as if the cold-blooded butcher from before wasn't him at all.
Yang Tianyou smiled and shook his head. Because of his own actions, there were quite a few members of the Yang Household family who practiced the Blade Dao.
Yang Tianyou had shared his insights on the Blade Dao more than once, but only Yang Xuanyang had made such great progress.
"Alright, we're uncle and nephew, no need for further explanation. My mother was just talking about you the other day, find a chance to go home and chat with her more!" Yang Tianyou said with a smile.
Yang Xuanyang can be said to have been raised by Duan Hongyu. Their relationship is not that of mother and son, but it is even closer than that of mother and son.
After Yang Xuanyang's biological parents passed away, Duan Hongyu was his only remaining close relative.
"Okay!" Yang Xuanyang nodded gently.
"You're busy, this is a new set of insights on the Blade Dao that I've compiled. Take a look and learn from it; it will be beneficial to your Blade Dao."
But you must remember one principle: those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die.
Don't let my Blade Dao lead you astray. Only by staying true to yourself can you go further on the Blade Dao.
"Nephew will remember Nineteenth Uncle's teachings!" Yang Xuanyang accepted the book handed to him by Yang Tianyou, bowed respectfully, and had an excited smile on his face.
As fellow practitioners of the Blade Dao, he could naturally sense the powerful Blade Force contained within his Nineteenth Uncle's body.
The benefits of such insights into the art of the Blade Dao are self-evident.
Yang Tianyou patted Yang Xuanyang on the shoulder again, leaving with an encouraging smile, before leaving and heading towards the majestic Wolf Ancestor Peak at the center of the Blood Moon Secret Realm.
