"The feeling of helplessness in the face of things that had already happened could truly destroy a person, little by little."
Until his death, Bai Heyu had been thinking of the Yang Family, yet Yang Shi could only sit in Bluestone County drinking tea, unable to do anything for Bai Heyu.
For someone as loyal and sentimental as Yang Shi, this was agonizing.
He said nothing about it and, as the ancestor had instructed, arranged the family's affairs as properly as before.
But... character cards did not lie.
He was no longer happy.
His extraordinary talent, [Neither Laughing Nor Crying+++], had become the stone blocking his path.
Fortunately, he was not a cultivator. Otherwise, an Inner Demon would surely have already wrapped around him.
And the Yang Family's problem was no longer as simple as Yang Shi's state of mind. Most crucially, with Bai Heyu dead, the connection between the Yang Family and the Blackstone Sect had been severed outright!
His factory was still producing vast quantities of Fasting Cakes every day!
If they could not be sold, all the Spirit Fields the Yang Family had accumulated over the years would have been wasted!
The hybrid high-yield Little Spirit Wheat that the Daoist Master had been researching was nearly finished as well. The Yang Family's Fasting Cake production would be even higher in the future!
That was several thousand spirit stones every year!
If this business disappeared, the Yang Family would plunge directly from a rising Immortal Clan into a family of paupers.
Yang Genshuo could not accept that at all!
Three thousand spirit stones could buy a second-grade formation that could block Foundation Establishment Realm experts for a while. If the Yang Family got several sets, would they not be able to ignore attacks from the Foundation Establishment Realm?
