Condensing Fruit Positions, Concealing Fortune
Summer is approaching, and the sun on the horizon is becoming increasingly scorching. Rays of golden sunlight fall into Great White Residence, but they cannot dispel the slight chill in the air.
Beside the stone table, Yunhua carefully brewed tea, while a beautiful little girl of about six or seven years old was practicing Law Technique.
She is Yang Lingjiao. Since turning six last year, she has been sent by her parents to Great White Residence, where she has been carefully trained by Yunhua.
She stood upright, her delicate pink hands slightly raised, forming several Mudra with perfect form. The pure Spiritual Power cultivated from the "Guanghan Taiyin True Scripture" then flowed from her fingertips.
Call!
A cold wind blew in, and dark black Spiritual Power condensed, forming a slightly illusory Ice Sword.
However, just as Yang Lingjiao was about to thrust out the Ice Sword, the door next to her suddenly opened with a creak.
"Ah!"
Distracted, Yang Lingjiao was immediately flustered, and the hand seals she made were slightly flawed. The Ice Sword trembled violently and then disintegrated.
Yunhua, with a stern face, reprimanded, "You must concentrate on your work. How can you let yourself be affected by the slightest external interference?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Lingjiao lowered her head with a pitiful expression, but a mischievous glint flashed in her clear, obsidian-like eyes.
Clearly, this little girl is not as quiet as she appears.
"Even our little genius makes mistakes?" Yang Tianyou stepped forward, stroked the little girl's smooth, cool hair, and said with a smile.
"Greetings, Ancestor You!"
Yang Lingjiao blinked her big eyes and performed a proper greeting.
After playing with the little girl for a while, Yang Tianyou handed her over to Zhiming to look after, and then went to the Lineage Ancestral Hall with his wife.
The Yang Household Ancestral Hall, built against the mountain, is nestled amidst beautiful scenery. After several renovations, the original building is now dozens of times more magnificent. Wisps of incense smoke drift above the ancestral hall, conjuring up various illusory images of flowers, birds, insects, fish, mountains, and rivers, making it appear quite mystical.
Yang Tianyou stood in mid-air, a vertical eye between his eyebrows quietly opened, and within the pupil, the Acquired Fortune Cauldron, shaped like a bronze tripod, rose and fell amidst swirling streams of primordial yellow energy, exuding a noble and ancient aura.
As a treasure of Fortune, the Acquired Fortune Cauldron is an expert in manipulating Fortune. In addition to its primary function of condensing the Fruit Position, it also possesses various Fortune related to Divine Ability.
Observing one's fortune is one of them.
Yang Tianyou was previously unable to check his own Fortune, partly because of his identity.
On the other hand, it is also largely due to his lack of proficiency in the path of Fortune.
Now, with the help of the Acquired Fortune Cauldron, he can finally get a glimpse of his Lineage's Fortune.
Brush!!
An invisible gaze descended, and the scene before Yang Tianyou instantly changed.
The once solemn and magnificent Lineage Ancestral Hall has disappeared, replaced by a purple glow that fills the sky and earth.
The purple light, like a canopy, enveloped the ancestral hall, and all sorts of wondrous sights were condensed and manifested.
But what made Yang Tianyou frown was that amidst these magnificent and extraordinary scenes, like oil boiling over a raging fire and flowers in full bloom, there was a deeply hidden dark aura.
The black mist was like fog in Abyss, exuding an Ill Omen and decaying aura.
"The Purple Fortune reaching the heavens is truly an auspicious sign of Fortune!" Yang Tianyou murmured. "However, this wisp of black aura is also quite thick, and it seems to be expanding further. Indeed, fortune may be tinged with misfortune."
"Have you seen the Lineage's Fortune, my husband?" Yunhua asked curiously from the side.
"Not bad..." Yang Tianyou briefly described the scene he had witnessed.
Yunhua frowned slightly and said, "Purple tinged with black is indeed Ill Omen sign. It seems the higher-ups of the Nine Phoenix Realm are after us!"
Yang Tianyou nodded slightly, "What you say is true, Madam. Fortunately, after breaking through to the Spirit Transformation, I now have the means to conceal the Lineage's Fortune, and I might even be able to find a few scapegoats..."
As he said this, a glint of light flashed in Yang Tianyou's eyes, and he shifted his gaze to a certain direction.
"My husband means that the Mountain and River Hall..." Yunhua's eyes lit up slightly, "If that's really the case, then that would be perfect. The more power there is to share the burden, the greater the Lineage's chances of survival."
"But we have to be careful not to overdo it. Although the Mountain and River Hall is a stumbling block, it is also a helper in some ways. We can severely damage it, but we cannot destroy it!" Yunhua said softly.
"I am naturally aware of this, Madam, please rest assured!" Yang Tianyou smiled faintly, knowing full well the implications.
There are indeed some unpleasant things between the Mountain and River Hall and the Yang Household, but they also cooperate in many ways. Even if they are to be destroyed, it cannot be done now. At least we should wait until the Yang Household has fully grown before finding an opportunity to eliminate this obstacle.
Upon entering the ancestral hall, a large cauldron filled with Five-Colored Soil and adorned with numerous incense sticks comes into view. This is the Yang Household Clan-Guarding Law Treasure Thick Earth Cauldron, which has been used to suppress the Lineage's Fortune.
Yang Tianyou stood in front of the Thick Earth Cauldron, waved his right hand, and the already formed Child Cauldron flew out and disappeared into the Thick Earth Cauldron.
Buzz!
The Thick Earth Cauldron hummed and trembled. Although its size had not changed, its aura became even more majestic and imposing, as if it could suppress everything.
Yang Tianyou activated his Fortune Eye once more, and saw that as the Child Cauldron and the Thick Earth Cauldron merged into one, the originally flourishing Fortune, like oil being poured into a raging fire, began to shrink little by little, eventually leaving only 30%.
Although this 30% of the Fortune is still exceptionally large, it is naturally far less than before.
Seeing this, Yang Tianyou smiled and said, "It's done!"
From this point on, the Lineage's Fortune will be incredibly stable, the probability of producing geniuses within the family will be higher, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the territory will be more abundant, and the speed of development will accelerate once again.
Acquired Fortune Cauldron finished suppressing the clan's Fortune, Yang Tianyou had a thought, and strands of Primordial Power entered the Thick Earth Cauldron.
As the Dao Fortune Dao Patterns flickered on the cauldron's surface, this Primordial Power gradually condensed into five hazy Seeds.
These Seeds resemble miniature Deity Shrines; though no Deities reside within them, they still exude a sacred aura.
"The five nascent Fruit Position Embryo will slowly be nurtured with Primordial Power. However, we can start collecting Incense Power now." Yang Tianyou glanced at the little over 10% of Primordial Power remaining and sighed helplessly.
Theoretically speaking, the Acquired Fortune Cauldron can condense countless Fruit Positions, but this is just theory.
To reiterate, Yang Tianyou's "bottleneck" isn't big enough. With limited Primordial Power, condensing five Fruit Positions is the limit; any more would be counterproductive.
"First, accumulate the Incense Power. When an elder of the Lineage unfortunately passes away, we will create a golden statue for him and then confer him godhood..." With these thoughts in mind, he and Yunhua left the ancestral hall together, and he also sent a Communication Talisman to his Thirteenth Brother, asking him to buy as many discarded Spirit Items as possible to refine the Primordial Power.
