Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1275 - 830: Master Jing Shui

Ji Linfeng and Ji De’an gazed at Luo Jingsong and Wu Zhan, their hearts growing even more restless.

The reason was that they realized these two individuals were also Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artists.

Earlier, upon entering the backyard, they had already met two Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artists, and now three more stood before them.

This meant the modest courtyard housed a total of five Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artists.

Moreover, these five Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artists differed entirely from those they had observed in the area previously.

Before long, Luo Jingsong arrived with the list in hand, passing it directly to Yang Mingzhi without so much as acknowledging Ji Linfeng and Ji De’an.

His dismissive demeanor clearly showcased his haughty nature.

Not just him—Wu Zhan followed suit, sparing only a brief look at the pair before retreating to his quarters.

"Hehe, have a look, Senior Ji!" Yang Mingzhi extended the list toward Ji Linfeng.

At first, Ji Linfeng stared blankly at the list’s details, then turned to Yang Mingzhi with complete disbelief.

"What’s all this?"

Yang Mingzhi let out a chuckle, explaining, "Our partnership has gone smoothly for years, so following family deliberations, we’ve chosen to broaden our cooperation and boost the Ji family’s status as a valued ally!"

"Starting now, your Ji family has access to every item listed here from us!"

Hearing those words, Ji Linfeng’s eyes widened in greater astonishment.

He dipped his head once more to examine the list’s contents.

Dao Intent Lotus Seed, Clear Spirit Water, Foundation Establishment Pill, Youthful Pill, Jade Marrow Pill, Red Gold Geng Essence, Golden Flame Stone...

It was almost impossible for him to trust what he saw.

The front items puzzled him, but Red Gold Geng Essence was something he recognized all too well.

A Second-Order Spiritual Object, specifically a gold attribute spiritual item perfect for crafting a Spirit Base!

And by chance, he himself was a gold attribute Martial Artist.

"They’re selling Red Gold Geng Essence too?" he inquired, his voice brimming with delight and wonder.

"Naturally, if you have enough Spirit Stones, any item on this list is available to you!" Yang Mingzhi replied with a grin.

Unable to contain his thrill, Ji Linfeng declared, "I’ll take one piece of Red Gold Geng Essence."

Such enthusiasm was understandable; his cultivation had achieved the Perfect Realm, and he had uncovered a technique for forming a Golden Body—he just needed that crucial spiritual item to build a Spirit Base.

With the right spiritual object in hand, he could strive for a breakthrough whenever he wished.

"Absolutely no issue!" Yang Mingzhi beamed, adding, "Prepare the Spirit Stones, and the Red Gold Geng Essence is yours whenever you’re set!"

At present, Spirit Source Land holds plenty of Red Gold Geng Essence and Golden Flame Stone, since these serve as the primary ores in the ancient array’s mineral vein, with vast quantities mined from Spirit Source Land throughout the years.

Given that Spirit Source Land possesses this rich vein, an abundance of Red Gold Geng Essence and Golden Flame Stone is only expected.

"Excellent, I’ll head back to gather the Spirit Stones!" Ji Linfeng checked the Red Gold Geng Essence price on the list and responded decisively without delay.

Red Gold Geng Essence, priced at ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones for ten pounds.

Though far from inexpensive, this cost remained manageable for Ji Linfeng.

Over recent years, the Ji family had earned substantial profits by supplying wine to the Yang family.

"Hold on, Senior!" Yang Mingzhi called out as he noticed Ji Linfeng preparing to depart.

"Er, Manager Yang, something more?" Ji Linfeng, caught up in his fervor, had almost overlooked why Yang Mingzhi had summoned him.

"Hehe, Senior, I brought you here to talk business!" Yang Mingzhi gently prompted.

"Right, right~~" Ji Linfeng suddenly remembered the list he clutched, saying, "We’ll proceed exactly as Manager Yang suggests—I agree fully, and I’ll send someone else to handle the rest with you shortly!"

Even though it came back to him, he had no desire to dwell on it further.

"Very well then!"

Yang Mingzhi gave a subtle nod before escorting Ji Linfeng and Ji De’an away.

As Ji Linfeng made his way home, excitement still surged through him, making him feel rejuvenated as if decades had melted away, brimming with energy and optimism.

In contrast, Ji De’an brimmed with worry and dread.

"Grandfather!"

"What’s wrong?"

"Are the Yang family sending us a warning?" Ji De’an asked, his tone laced with concern.

"A warning!" Ji Linfeng halted, his face flickering through various emotions, and gradually, his racing thoughts settled as composure returned.

After a prolonged silence, he let out a deep breath.

"Fortunately, it’s merely a warning!"

"Once we’re home, instruct your third uncle to cease those sneaky moves right away. We dare not cross the Yang family; beyond that, going forward, we should lean on them heavily! This holds true even after I achieve my breakthrough!"

Ji Linfeng stated firmly.

The Yang family’s readiness to provide Second-Order Spiritual Objects showed they possessed no shortage of such treasures.

Those listed items were far beyond what a minor family could claim ownership of.

In an instant, Ji Linfeng grasped that the Yang family stood as an unassailable force for the Ji family, and he also saw that for the Ji family to advance further, they needed to grasp the chances extended by the Yang family.

"Got it!" Ji De’an affirmed.

...

The Ji family swiftly finalized their agreement with Yang Mingzhi, while elsewhere, the Illusion Moon Sect and the Lu family carried out a second exchange with Spirit Source Land.

Within a single month, over five hundred thousand Spirit Stones had accumulated in Spirit Source Land’s reserves.

Yet the majority stemmed from the two Foundation Establishment Pills and three Dao Intent Lotus Seeds.

Naturally, Spirit Source Land expended more than two hundred thousand Spirit Stones as well, chiefly for Yang Zhenshan’s acquisition of thirty-three Green Profound Fruit seeds from the Illusion Moon Sect.

With thirty-three Green Profound Fruit seeds, Yang Zhenshan could brew eleven batches of Foundation Establishment Pills, each batch demanding three herb sets for a total of thirty-three pills; even at a mere thirty percent success rate for Foundation Establishment Pills, that would yield ten successful ones. Clearly, Yang Zhenshan had reaped a handsome reward from this transaction.
