Yang Siqi of the Yang Clan Establishes His Foundation
Several days later.
Ling Clan Head Ling Yunhong rode the Immortal Spirit Crane King, galloping tens of thousands of miles into the territory of Cloudwater County, and finally landed at the foot of Level Cloud Mountain of the Yang Clan Mountain.
Upon arriving at the mountain, he took out a Communication Talisman from his Storage Bag and sent it into the mountain.
Not long after, Yang Clan Supreme Elder the Yang Changxing, descended from Level Cloud Mountain and arrived in front of Ling Yunhong.
As soon as Yang Changxing approached Ling Yunhong, he sensed that Ling Yunhong's aura was several times stronger than it had been three years ago.
His pupils contracted slightly as he thought to himself.
"Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer".
"With Ling Yunhong's cultivation level, he not only mastered a powerful Sword Formation, but also broke through to the Foundation Establishment on his own. This makes his spiritual power more abundant than that of cultivators who use Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object to break through to the Foundation Establishment. I'm afraid his current combat power is comparable to that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer cultivator."
"This is a bit troublesome."
"In the future, if the Lineage wants to monopolize that Second Grade Middle Rank Spirit Vein within the Rock Scale Snake Den in the Serpent Dragon Lake area, it will probably be quite difficult."
After a moment of distraction, Yang Changxing came back to his senses and asked Ling Yunhong a question.
"Ling Daoyou, is there something you need for your visit? Have you gone to harvest the fifteen acres of Yellow Sprout Grass that our families planted this year in the Rock Scale Snake Den?"
Ling Yunhong nodded slightly, waved his hand and patted the Storage Bag at his waist, from which he summoned four hundred and fifty Spirit-Locking Jade Box, as well as the Geng Metal Splitting Needle Grand Array that had been withdrawn from the Rock Scale Snake Den.
"Yang Daoyou, this is Yang Clan share of the fifteen acres of mature Yellow Sprout Grass that your two clans jointly cultivated on that Snake Den Spirit Vein Spirit Field year."
"This Geng Metal Splitting Needle Grand Array is the one you set up in the Rock Scale Snake Den. Recently, I heard news that the Centennial Demon Beast Calamity is probably about to begin, so I summoned Peng Yun, who was stationed in the Snake Cave, back to the Lineage."
"This killing formation is different from that Aura Concealing Array. It requires a cultivator to control it. Without a cultivator to control it, the power of this killing formation is less than 50%. Such a powerful killing formation would be wasted if it were to continue to be set up in the Rock Scale Snake Den. If the Snake Cave is discovered by the Demon Beast, this formation, unlike the Aura Concealing Array, has a strong Qi-concealing effect on its array flags. It will most likely be found and destroyed by the Demon Beast."
"Considering this situation, I withdrew the formation."
"I did not touch the other Aura Concealing Array that was also set up in the Rock Scale Snake Den. After all, if this array were not in place, the Spirit Vein in the Snake Cave would definitely be discovered, and the Spirit Plant planted in the thirty-five acres of Spirit Field that were developed on the Spirit Vein would also be lost."
"Of course, the Aura Concealing Array inside that Snake Cave belongs to your Yang Clan. If you intend to remove the Aura Concealing Array from the Snake Cave, I have no objection. However, you will need to go there yourself."
"Ling Daoyou, is the Demon Beast Uprising truly imminent?" Yang Changxing's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he voiced his doubt.
"I can't guarantee it, but it won't be long before news of the Demon Beast Uprising spreads," Ling Yunhong said.
Yang Changxing's heart burned with excitement upon hearing Ling Yunhong's response; he had been waiting for the arrival of the Demon Beast Uprising.
The Demon Beast Uprising is both a sign of danger and an opportunity.
Normally, the Hundred Spirits Sect would release a considerable number of rare spiritual objects, including those for Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, during times of Demon Beast Uprising. This would encourage its forces and Rogue Cultivator to kill Demon Beast and alleviate the pressure on the sect.
"Thank you, Ling Daoyou, for making this special trip to deliver this batch of Yellow Sprout Grass to my Yang Clan."
"I also agree to remove this Geng Metal Splitting Needle Grand Array from the Rock Scale Snake Den. Thank you for your trouble." Yang Changxing's thoughts returned, and he waved his hand to collect the hundreds of spirit-locking boxes and array flags on the ground, then cupped his hands in thanks.
"Just a small favor," Ling Yunhong replied, then patted the Storage Bag at his waist and took out two thousand Spirit Stone.
"Yang Daoyou, these two thousand Spirit Stone are what Peng Yun used to purchase the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords that you gave me back then."
Yang Changxing saw that there were more than two thousand Spirit Stone on the ground, and his heart stirred. "Judging from this, Peng Yun doesn't intend to owe me a favor."
Three years ago, the two Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords he gave to Ling Pengyun were a set of Law Artifact, but the quality of the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords was not among the best of the Second Rank Low Grade Law Artifact, and they were not worth two thousand Spirit Stone at all.
On the market, the price of Second Rank Low Grade Law Artifact is generally between 1,500 and 2,000 Spirit Stone Spirit Stone, while the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords is worth at most 1,700 or 1,800 Spirit Stone.
This time, Ling Pengyun gave him an extra two or three hundred Spirit Stone. Yang Changxing could easily tell that Ling Pengyun was repaying the favor he had done for him when he handed over the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords to Ling Pengyun without accepting any Spirit Stone.
"I didn't expect that kid Peng Yun to have gathered such a large sum of Spirit Stone so quickly. That's a good thing. Ling Daoyou, please pass on a message for me, asking him to visit the Yang Clan more often. Peng Yun's maternal grandfather was extremely happy to learn that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment," Yang Changxing said with a smile.
"I will definitely convey this message, Yang Daoyou. I have come in person this time because I have another request."
"Our Ling Clan's original Clan Mountain, Lingyun Mountain, is located within your Yang Clan's territory. During times of Demon Beast Uprising, there is a risk that these Demon Beast may attack this mountain. If this mountain is in danger, we hope that the Yang Clan can provide strong assistance and not forget the kinship agreement between our two families."
"If Yang Daoyou is unwilling, or if my Ling Clan's Lingyun Mountain is destroyed by demonic Demon Beast during the Demon Beast Uprising, my Ling Clan will no longer offer 500 catties each of the three types of spirit rice —Yellow Jade, Azure Jade jade, and White Jade —to your Yang Clan every year," Ling Yunhong said in a deep voice.
Although the Ling Clan had become Foundation Establishment clan, the Yang Clan always regarded the Ling Clan as an affiliated Lineage under their control and demanded that the Ling Clan pay tribute to the Yang Clan with spiritual items every year.
"Of course, our two clans are relatives. Your Ling Clan's original Clan Mountain is within my Yang Clan's territory, so my Yang Clan should take care of it. Please rest assured, Ling Daoyou." Upon hearing this, Yang Changxing's face stiffened, and he was already somewhat angry.
However, thinking of Ling Yunhong's strength and the benefits of the 500 catties of three kinds of Jade Series spirit rice that the Ling Clan would offer as tribute every year, his anger quickly subsided. He calmed his mind, smiled again, and spoke.
"That's good. Now that this matter is settled, I won't stay any longer. There are still matters to attend to in the clan, so I'll return to my Ling Clan Mountain first."
After saying that, Ling Yunhong jumped onto the back of the Immortal Spirit Crane King beside him, rode the crane, and rose into the air, quickly flying away.
Yang Changxing watched Ling Yunhong's departing figure, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.
"This kid is getting more and more arrogant. Non-Self Yang Clan now has the Golden Core True Person of the Hundred Spirits Sect as our backer and is not afraid of any Foundation Establishment Family, we would definitely not let him live any longer, given his behavior."
Only after Ling Yunhong's figure disappeared into the horizon did he withdraw his gaze and turn back into Level Cloud Mountain.
Upon entering the mountains, he went straight to Cultivation Abode on the Level Cloud Mountain.
At this moment, Yang Mingquan, the Clan Head of the Yang Clan, was sitting cross-legged outside the gate of this Cultivation Abode.
Yang Mingquan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, saw Yang Changxing, who had just been summoned away by Ling Yunhong who had suddenly arrived at the foot of Level Cloud Mountain, return to this place, and asked him curiously.
"Fifth Uncle, what brings Ling Yunhong from the Ling Clan here this time?"
Yang Changxing did not hide anything and told Ling Yunhong everything that had just been said.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while longer, then stopped talking and sat cross-legged outside the entrance of the mountaintop Cultivation Abode, showing no intention of cave abode.
This strange behavior is because a cultivator from the Yang Clan is currently breaking through to the Foundation Establishment inside this Cultivation Abode.
Yang Changxing and Yang Mingquan are currently acting to protect their clansman who is on the path to breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Half a month later, a violent surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from the Cultivation Abode on the Level Cloud Mountain.
Immediately afterwards, the Spiritual Qi throughout Level Cloud Mountain was drawn into the Cultivation Abode by a powerful suction force.
These unusual movements alarmed all the cultivators in Level Cloud Mountain.
Among them were Yang Changxing and Yang Mingquan, who were sitting cross-legged outside the Cultivation Abode, their eyes closed as they meditated.
Yang Changxing opened his eyes, sensing the unusual activity occurring in the Cultivation Abode in front of him. His expression brightened, and he muttered to himself.
"Qi Infusion."
"Siqi must have condensed Liquid Spiritual Power to have reached this point."
"Given Siqi's talent, and with the help of a Small Hundred Spirits Water and a Pulse Meridian Protecting Pill, he has at least a 40% chance of succeeding in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment."
"As long as Siqi's luck isn't bad, he will definitely be able to break through successfully."
Yang Mingquan, who was standing to the side, agreed.
"That's right. If Siqi can reach the Foundation Establishment, my Yang Clan will have four Foundation Establishment. Adding Si Ling, who married into the Hundred Spirits Sect Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment Cultivator Foundation Establishment Family rank us among the top five in the entire Hundred Spirits Sect territory."
Yang Siqi is the most talented member of the Yang Clan generation among the four generations of the Yang family, namely "Chang, Ming, Qiu, Si".
With the Dual Spirit Root of fire and wood, Yang Siqi's fire and wood Spirit Root Spirit Root extremely sensitive to Spiritual Qi.
The Cultivation Method he practiced was a wood-assisted fire Cultivation Method passed down from the Yang Clan family, which could lead directly to the Foundation Establishment Completion.
Due to the characteristics of the Cultivation Method he practiced, his cultivation speed was greatly accelerated. Because he also had Dual Spirit Root, he reached the Qi Training Completion at the age of twenty-five.
Moreover, he was quite talented in the Dao of Alchemy, which was the Yang Clan's forte. He became a First Rank High-Grade Alchemist at a young age and had a very high success rate in refining several common First-Tier Superior-Grade -quality pills.
The unusual surge of Qi Infusion in Level Cloud Mountain was triggered by Yang Siqi, who was in seclusion in his Cultivation Abode at the mountaintop, attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Three days later, the phenomenon of Qi Infusion ceased.
The Spiritual Qi in Level Cloud Mountain has also returned to normal.
The heavy gate of the Cultivation Abode on the mountaintop was opened by a young man dressed in a blue Daoist robe, with a handsome appearance and an aura of Foundation Establishment.
This person was none other than Yang Siqi.
Yang Changxing and Yang Mingquan, who had been guarding outside the Cultivation Abode, saw this person emerge from the Cultivation Abode and felt the Foundation Establishment aura emanating from him. Both of them were delighted.
"Thank you both, Fifth Ancestor and Ancestor, for protecting me during my short period of seclusion to break through to the Foundation Establishment." As soon as Yang Siqi came out of the cave abode, he cupped his hands in gratitude to Yang Changxing and Yang Mingquan, who had been guarding outside the cave abode for some time.
"You flatter me. Protecting you is not difficult. It is fortunate that you have reached the Foundation Establishment. You have only recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment. This is a Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Solidifying Pill, which can speed up the process of stabilizing your cultivation. As for these two magic Law Artifact, one for offense and one for defense, they are both Second Rank Low Grade Law Artifact. The once-in-a-century Demon Beast Uprising is coming soon. You need to refine these two Law Artifact as soon as possible to improve your strength."
Upon hearing this, Yang Changxing waved his hand and took out two magical Law Artifact, a medicine bottle, a flying sword, and a magic shield, from his Storage Bag. He handed them to Yang Siqi and said with a smile.
"That's good. It's a good thing that you've broken through to the Foundation Establishment. With you as the new Foundation Establishment Lineage, the Lineage's strength will increase by several times." Yang Mingquan, standing next to Yang Changxing, agreed with a joyful expression.
Upon hearing the words "Demon Beast Uprising," Yang Siqi's expression shifted slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, accepted the three items handed to him by Yang Changxing, and expressed his gratitude once again.
After the three of them talked for a while, Yang Siqi bid farewell to Yang Changxing and Yang Mingquan and went back into the Cultivation Abode to consolidate his cultivation.
Yang Changxing and Yang Mingquan then left the area and entered the other two Cultivation Abode on the mountaintop.
