With its resources and influence greatly increased, he decided to expand the Purple Moon Army and grow the Lineage’s population, leaving the Household poised for rapid development.

• Yang Tianyou reflected on the friends he had lost, then sent Black and White to invite Jinge for a drink and went to pay respects to Liu Siyu.
• Yang Tianyou and Jinge drank beneath the moon and reminisced about their youth; after Jinge passed out, Yang Tianyou danced with Yunhua at the cliffside.

Yang Tianyou cultivated his White Emperor Indestructible Body and used Spirit Vein Essence to accelerate his progress toward Spirit Transformation. He then successfully refined a living Talisman Soldier, hoping Dao Soldiers would help the Yang Household overcome its shortage of powerful cultivators.

He handed the method to Yang Xuan Ning and ordered the clan’s Talisman Makers to begin studying it and producing Talisman Soldiers.

• Yang Tianyou rejected the established Dao Soldier spirit-awakening methods because they required resources, time, deep foundations, or techniques unsuitable for the Yang Household.

Yang Xuan Ning shared Yang Tianyou’s Weapon Patterns with the Talisman Hall, where the Talisman Makers learned that the patterns could create intelligent Talisman Soldiers. Yang Tianyou returned to cultivation, and the Four Symbols Alliance later opened exchanges for supplies from the Lu Wu Secret Realm.

• Yang Xuan Ning revealed a jade turtle Talisman Soldier, whose speech and lively emotions amazed the gathered Talisman Makers.

Yang Tianyou studied the Lu Wu Secret Realm’s available treasures and spent the Yang Household’s accumulated Merit on a range of valuable Spirit Items. He secured the Seven-Orifice Heaven-Mending Stone for Old Ancestor Yang Haoyu, and the household prepared to distribute the remaining supplies among its members.

• Yang Tianyou examined the listed Spirit Items and concluded that the Lu Wu Secret Realm contained far more treasures than the exchange screen showed.
• He quickly exchanged for the Seven-Orifice Heaven-Mending Stone, taking advantage of other cultivators’ reluctance to spend twenty thousand Merit on a long-term investment.
