Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1263 - 825: Divine Soul Technique

"Both Spiritual Soul attack-type magical treasures are useful to me, but as for this Golden Radiance Silk, forget it. I’ll wait to get a set of Protective Magic Robe from Lotus Heart Valley."

The Golden Radiance Silk obviously displays feminine qualities, adorned with embroidered designs. While Yang Zhenshan desperately desires a defensive Magical Treasure, he feels utterly unwilling to drape this Golden Radiance Silk over his body.

Still, this treasure could serve his disciples well, so he decided to store the Golden Radiance Silk away in the storage facility.

Once he finished tallying his rewards, Yang Zhenshan proceeded to integrate these magical treasures and spells into his arsenal.

He must master the Soul Stealing Skill, Soul Capturing Skill, and Soul Searching Technique.

Additionally, he has to refine the Soul Vibrating Bell and Soul-breaking Cone.

Be it practicing spells or forging magical treasures, neither task yields results overnight.

Practicing spells demands steady study and repeated drills, while refining magical treasures calls for ongoing efforts too. It goes beyond simply forging the item; one must comprehend its strengths and weaknesses, gain expert control over it, and wield it with effortless command.

Upon entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, Yang Zhenshan's list of required cultivation practices has grown immensely.

With no major advancements expected soon in his core cultivation, he shortened the daily session for the "Qingmu Longevity Scripture" to just two hours.

The "Qingmu Longevity Scripture" serves as a balanced, serene cultivation method that prioritizes steady advancement over hasty gains.

In the past, Yang Zhenshan pushed hard for Foundation Establishment, pouring vast amounts of time and effort into the "Qingmu Longevity Scripture"; however, now he aims to advance methodically, step by step, with only two hours of daily meditation sufficing.

Furthermore, he upholds two hours each day for the "Void Refining Scripture" and the Qinghua Thunder Pearl.

These cultivation methods likewise require diligent patience and resist any rush toward rapid progress.

Beyond these three primary cultivation techniques, Yang Zhenshan must also practice spells, forge magical treasures, and delve into Alchemy and talisman crafting.

He fills his schedule completely, embracing a routine yet rewarding existence.

Naturally, he hasn't overlooked the treasures acquired at the auction.

He has refined the Jade Cloud Boat, though it's only a top-grade Magic Artifact; Yang Zhenshan views it simply as a travel tool and invests little effort in it.

Moreover, he planted the Golden Thunder Bamboo along the southern edge of the Spiritual Spring Lake, tasking Yang Jizhen with its upkeep.

Since Yang Jizhen practices the "Wood Thunder Control Scripture," he will gain the ability to harness it once the Golden Thunder Bamboo reaches maturity.

Every disciple trains with great dedication, and Yang Zhenshan carves out moments to mentor them, though their ultimate achievements rest in their own hands.

As the ancient proverb declares, "A master leads the way, but cultivation depends on the individual."

Yu Qingyi remains just as occupied. During her visit to Lotus Heart Valley—a hub mainly for Immortal Cultivation—she purchased numerous goods that prove valuable even for Martial Artists.

Now that Yu Qingyi has attained the Martial God Realm, she can already employ Divine Soul Power, yet in contrast to Immortal Cultivators, Martial Artists handle Divine Soul Power in a rather awkward manner.

Martial Artists suffer from the absence of spiritual apertures.

Consider Yu Qingyi: her Spiritual Sense extends merely across ten zhang, a vast contrast to what Yang Zhenshan achieves.

Inside the Spiritual Spring residence.

Having finished his meditation for the day, Yang Zhenshan entered the main hall.

Within the hall, Yu Qingyi worked alongside Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun on some sewing tasks.

At twenty years of age now, Ma Qiuyan has matured into a graceful young woman, and after a decade of practicing the "Gui Water Nourishing Essence Scripture," she has advanced to the Qi Refinement Third Layer.

Ning Yun stands on equal footing, having also reached the Qi Refinement Third Layer.

"What are you all working on?" Yang Zhenshan glanced at the material they were stitching and couldn't resist inquiring.

"Sewing Vestment robes!" Yu Qingyi replied with a cheerful smile.

"Vestment robes? You know how to sew Vestment robes?" Yang Zhenshan inquired, clearly astonished.

"I don’t know, but can’t I learn?" Yu Qingyi shot Yang Zhenshan a playful glance. "I bought a jade scroll on sewing Vestment robes in Lotus Heart Valley, so why not give it a try!"

Vestment robes rank as the go-to magical treasures among cultivators, capable of providing diverse abilities like defense, stealth, flight, or cultivation enhancement. Their exact capabilities hinge on the embedded arrays.

Yu Qingyi obviously lacks knowledge in array formation, yet Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun possess that skill!

Being Yang Zhenshan’s disciples means excelling in at least one of the hundred arts of immortality is essential, while they also explore the rest to some degree.

Per Yang Zhenshan’s directives, each must specialize in either Pill Refining, Artifact Forging, or Talisman Arrays, while gaining familiarity with beast taming, spirit planting, vein exploration, and similar fields.

Yang Jizhen selected Artifact Refining.

Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun went with Array Formation.

Devoid of strong talent in arrays himself, Yang Zhenshan observed the innate aptitude in Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun, who can now arrange certain basic first-order arrays.

Cui Yang opted for the talisman making skill, whereas Zhang Hexuan—this youthful fellow—has just begun his cultivation journey and hasn't ventured into the hundred arts of immortality yet.

As a seasoned Pill Master, Yang Zhenshan felt considerable frustration that none of his disciples picked Alchemy, leading him to assign that path to Zhang Hexuan as his major.

Sewing Vestment robes essentially ties into Artifact Refining, though it varies by concentrating mainly on arrays, allowing an Array Master to collaborate effectively during the process.

Yang Zhenshan held little interest in the matter and remarked, "Then you all busy yourselves; I’ll head to the study!"

"Hey, wait, there’s something I need you to decide on!" Yu Qingyi called after him.
