Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1328 - 857: The Yang Family Is Truly Mysterious (Part 2)

Because Chu Lingxiao aimed to trade Li Qianqian's marriage for gains, Yu Qingyi decided to offer resources in return for Li Qianqian.

"For merely that young girl Qianqian, what immense cost is your Yang family ready to bear?"

"Hehe, sufficient resources to propel you into the Divine Soul Realm!" Yu Qingyi laughed lightly.

She spoke no empty words, only pure facts.

Right now, the Spirit Source Land provides various aids for Golden Body Realm Martial Artists, such as the Illusion God Pill, Gathering Spirit Pill, Daoist Intent Sacred Lotus seeds, the pristine water blended from Miracle Water and spring water, and more.

Yet these aids fall short, nowhere near adequate for a Golden Body Realm breakthrough to Divine Soul Realm, missing the vital key: the Soul Revival Pill.

The Soul Revival Pill boasts nine revolutions. A first revolution version amplifies the Human Soul's power—in essence, it vastly strengthens the practitioner's Divine Soul—whereas the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pill can revive the deceased, provided the body remains intact and the soul unharmed, allowing full resurrection.

Should the soul even drift from the body into the Netherworld, the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pill pulls it back from there.

Naturally, the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pill stands as a mythical Immortal Pill, yet for Golden Body Realm ascendants to Divine Soul Realm, the first revolution Soul Revival Pill boosts success odds by thirty percent.

Therefore, the first revolution Soul Revival Pill proves vital for Golden Body Realm Martial Artists seeking Divine Soul Realm, much like the Foundation Establishment Pill for Immortal Cultivators building their foundation.

For Immortal Cultivators too, the first revolution Soul Revival Pill counts as a supremely rare treasure, one of the core elixirs needed to form the Golden Core.

Ensuring a Golden Body Realm Martial Artist reaches Divine Soul Realm demands a first revolution Soul Revival Pill without fail.

Spirit Source Land lacks the Soul Revival Pill at present, yet this poses no worry, for Yang Zhenshan will inevitably secure its elixir recipe and craft some.

The Soul Revival Pill decides if Yang Zhenshan forms his Golden Core, and if Spirit Source Land's folk can attain Divine Soul Realm.

Even absent Chu Lingxiao, Yang Zhenshan would exhaust all means to claim the Soul Revival Pill's elixir recipe.

Should Yang Zhenshan gain the recipe and master refining the Soul Revival Pill, handing one to Chu Lingxiao would mean little.

Chu Lingxiao requires no rush to Divine Soul Realm; any breakthrough lies decades or even centuries ahead.

"Is that little girl Qianqian truly worth it?" Chu Lingxiao murmured gently.

No slight against Li Qianqian intended, yet does she merit such lavish expenditure from the Yang family?

Li Qianqian shines brightly, but remains merely an Innate Martial Artist, with countless like her filling the Sea of Spirit.

Beauty pales against power; it serves only as adornment.

Beauty flourishes not in Martial Arts Families or Sects, but in the pleasure houses.

Yu Qingyi took a slow sip of tea, "Naturally not worth it alone, yet for my great-grandson's cherished one, absolutely it is."

Pure nepotism at play—for among Yang family's four brothers, solely Yang Mingzhao sprang from Yu Qingyi's womb, his lone son Yang Cheng’an fathered two grandsons: Yang Qinting and Yang Qinyu.

She hid bias in daily life, but in crunch time, she'd back Yang Mingzhao's line without doubt—simple human instinct.

Staring at the graceful Yu Qingyi, Chu Lingxiao sensed an overwhelming pressure.

No might fueled this pressure, but raw feeling: elder's familial warmth toward the young.

Such warmth shamed her deeply.

Flawless jade at hand makes mine seem tarnished.

She held no such sentiments for juniors, nor did Li family members.

Beside the Yang family's bonds, the Li family resembled a mere alliance of profit, affection confined to a scant few.

Beneath that pressure, defiance flared within Chu Lingxiao's heart.

"And if I refuse?"

"Hmm, no issue at all."

"Why no issue?"

"I'm merely inquiring; agreement smooths all paths, refusal shifts burden to my husband!"

Yu Qingyi grinned, "I bet he'll whisk them off in secret!"

"Whisk them off in secret?" Chu Lingxiao froze.

Possible to snatch away in secret?

Treat her like an object?

Forget the Li family's fury if Yang family sneaks off with Li Qianqian—consider Xuanqing Sect's wrath.

Snatching a live person from their Sect grounds?

Xuanqing Sect's face preserved?

Xuanqing Sect's Guardian Array mere decoration?

Would mighty Xuanqing Sect endure such insult?

Stunned long moments, Chu Lingxiao finally uttered, "I must ponder this deeply!"

"Very well, I'll linger in Green Jade City for Elder Chu's reply. Success now or later, please inform me!" Yu Qingyi stood to depart.

Chu Lingxiao observed her vanishing into the bamboo grove via the verdant stone trail.

Moments after Yu Qingyi departed, a silhouette materialized by Chu Lingxiao.

"The Yang family truly baffles!"

Spotting the arrival, Chu Lingxiao jolted, bowing hastily, "Patriarch, greetings!"

None other than Lin Daoyuan himself.

Lin Daoyuan dismissed with a wave, eyes fixed pensively on Yu Qingyi's vanishing point.

"Her Green Wood Longevity Skill seems unexceptional, yet she mastered Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill! From her look, she's reached profound heights in Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill!"
