Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1329 - 857: The Yang Family—Truly Mysterious

Chu Lingxiao showed a flicker of surprise, "Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill?"

In the Sea of Lingxiu, the Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill doesn’t rank as a rare cultivation method. The Sun family even offers it for sale in their workshop, showing it draws little interest from the Three Sects and Twelve Families.

Unfamiliar with the hidden value of the Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill, Chu Lingxiao inquired puzzledly, "Soldier, does the Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill hold any unique traits?"

Lin Daoyuan’s gaze pierced like sharpened blades, his voice steady as he declared, "Mastering the Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill completely demands devouring massive amounts of wood attribute spiritual fruits from the same root and source. For first-order ones, that’s a whopping 108,000!"

"Does our Xuanqing Sect possess 108,000 spiritual fruits sharing the same root and source?"

Fruits of the same root and source come from one dedicated area, all identical in type, with matching growth conditions.

Such a feat requires an enormous, reliable spirit field, no fewer than hundreds of matching spiritual fruit trees, plus years of dedicated tending—it might span decades to collect 108,000 from the same root and source.

Xuanqing Sect maintains steady spirit fields and plenty of spiritual fruit trees, yet it wouldn’t pour immense manpower and resources into aiding someone’s Wood Transformation Nourishing Body Skill practice; the cost simply doesn’t justify it.

Why squander those spirit fields on one type when diverse spiritual fruits and herbs could thrive instead?

Grasping this point, Chu Lingxiao felt a chill of shock deep inside.

Even for mighty Xuanqing Sect, squandering huge spirit fields and vast labor on a single skill screams sheer extravagance.

In truth, they’ve overlooked a key detail—what seems wasteful here is everyday practice in the Spirit Source Land.

There, spiritual fruit tree varieties were scarce. The Spirit Plant Department would mass-plant any suitable for widespread growth.

Elsewhere, growing same-root-and-source spiritual fruit trees proves a headache, but in Spirit Source Land, it’s straightforward.

A broad expanse of uniform spiritual fruit trees can emerge in mere decades.

Today, Spirit Source Land brims with spiritual fruit trees; calling them mountain-spanning groves isn’t hyperbole.

Take Jade Dew Spirit Peach, Three Yellow Plums, Yu Lu Spirit Peach, Ice Heart Fruit, Wind Spirit Fruit, Nether Light Fruit—they blanket entire ranges.

Naturally, Spirit Source Land boasts rarities like Green Profound Fruit too. Twelve such trees, moved from the Ancient Array, are only beginning their revival.

Large-scale planting? Forget it. Even awaiting their next fruiting demands another two or three decades.

Second-order spiritual fruit trees differ vastly from first-order. The latter, even if sluggish, ripen in ten to twenty years, while second-order and beyond need centuries.

Relocated to Spirit Source Land from afar, they still require over ten years to rebound.

"Master Ancestor, should I accept this proposal?" Chu Lingxiao whispered.

Truth be told, her heart already leaned toward yes.

Inside Xuanqing Sect, sans Wang family backing, she’d still secure some resources—fewer, sure, and the Wangs might stir issues.

But beyond the Sect’s walls, scraping together resources was a nightmare for her. Sea of Lingxiu overflows with riches, yet those aiding Divine Soul Realm breakthroughs are scarce gems.

The Three Major Sects raise Divine Soul Realm experts via trades from outside lands, not local Sea of Lingxiu hauls or Ancient Relic Array yields.

Lin Daoyuan pivoted to depart, stating, "Decide for yourself on this; I’m off to Illusion Moon Sect!"

Why fuss over juniors’ betrothal? Chu Lingxiao’s path is hers alone.

His focus lies solely on unraveling the Yang family enigma, prompting a visit to Illusion Moon Sect for clues.
