Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1439 - 908: Life and Death Prosperity Path, Lifespan 232 Years_2

"As for mystical treasures, the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower and the Divine Wood Treasure Cauldron are more than enough; there's no need to hoard the rest, especially since I possess the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace!"

Yang Zhenshan pondered for a moment, then simply retrieved the Soul Vibrating Bell and the Soul-breaking Cone, expunging the Divine Soul Marks imprinted upon them. The utility of the Soul Vibrating Bell and Soul-breaking Cone diminished significantly with the acquisition of the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower.

In truth, he also had access to talismans. However, he had seemingly never employed them during combat, as his focus wasn't on utilizing them for defense but rather on drawing them to cultivate his Qi and steady his mind. The effective use of talismans in battle necessitates the assistance of specific mystical arts and techniques. Though these arts might be basic, mastering talisman usage demands considerable time and dedication.

After finalizing his future cultivation regimen, Yang Zhenshan rose and exited the Quiet Chamber. He intended to ascertain if he could employ the Withered and Flourishing Divine Power to extend his own lifespan.

Upon reaching the Spirit Fruit Garden situated on the western side of the mountain platform, he observed Yu Qingyi engaged in the practice of magical techniques. Indeed, Yu Qingyi was honing her skills with the Vine Skill.

Martial artists in the Golden Body Realm are endowed with mana. A more potent Divine Soul translates to a greater capacity for mana. Yet, in contrast to Immortal Cultivators, those in the Golden Body Realm exhibit a considerably lower efficiency in mana condensation, with extremely slow mana recovery. Consequently, the majority of Golden Body Realm Martial Artists dedicate substantial effort to mana cultivation. They find it more prudent to channel their energies into augmenting their physical prowess, as only with sufficient Divine Soul Power do they stand a chance of achieving further breakthroughs.

Yu Qingyi demonstrated remarkable multitasking, simultaneously directing two vine skills that advanced to the left and right. These vines would intertwine, coil, shoot skyward, or burrow underground to traverse the terrain. Yang Zhenshan refrained from interrupting, choosing instead to observe quietly from the periphery.

From his vantage point, Yu Qingyi's command over the vines appeared undeniably unpolished. Nevertheless, for someone in the Golden Body Realm, her current proficiency was quite admirable.

At this precise moment, however, Yang Zhenshan's attention was less fixed on the vines wielded by Yu Qingyi and more captivated by the vital aura radiating from her. Yu Qingyi had entered the Golden Body Realm over thirty years prior, and her cultivation had progressed with consistent advancement. While her growth seemed gradual and unhurried, the reality was that Yu Qingyi's cultivation had been advancing at a remarkably swift pace. In a mere thirty years, she had already attained the mid-stage of the Golden Body Realm, with prospects of soon ascending to the late stage.

Her cultivation progress, while notable, was secondary. What truly astonished Yang Zhenshan was the robust vitality he sensed emanating from Yu Qingyi. It gave the impression that she wasn't merely a person standing there, but a flourishing, verdant tree.

"A tree!" Yang Zhenshan's heart stirred, and a subtle Dao Rhyme emanated from his eyes, instantly altering his perception of the surroundings. The world seemed to be delineated solely by hues of green and gray – the fundamental division between life and death.

Lush vegetation vibrated with verdant energy, while mountains and rocks were rendered in a dull, lifeless gray. Withered branches and fallen leaves transformed from vibrant green to gray, eventually returning to the earth to become one with the soil. Animals, too, existed in a spectrum of green and gray; the young were predominantly green, whereas the old were shrouded in gray, their vitality flickering like a candle in the wind.

As for Yu Qingyi, she was enveloped in a radiant green luminescence, with only a negligible trace of the gray halo present. "A lifespan of three hundred and twenty-eight years!" Yang Zhenshan stared at Yu Qingyi, utterly dumbfounded.

Yu Qingyi's remaining lifespan was, in fact, greater than his own! He was awash in a sea of questions.

"What is it? Is something amiss with me?" Yu Qingyi ceased her magical technique practice, noticing Yang Zhenshan's intense gaze, and inquired with evident confusion.

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard and commenced a thorough examination of Yu Qingyi, from head to toe. "How can this be?"

Yu Qingyi, perplexed by his actions, questioned again, "Is there something wrong with me?" She too glanced down at her own body, but could discern nothing out of the ordinary!

Yang Zhenshan took hold of her wrist, stating, "Allow me to examine you!" His Spiritual Sense permeated Yu Qingyi's being, scrutinizing her five viscera and six organs, as well as her Dantian Qi Sea. Yu Qingyi offered no resistance, permitting him to thoroughly investigate her from the inside out.

Ultimately, Yang Zhenshan withdrew his Spiritual Sense, his eyes alight with a brilliant gleam. "What are you doing?" Yu Qingyi remained bewildered by his peculiar behavior.

Yang Zhenshan encircled her waist with his arm and beamed, "My dear wife, you truly are a prodigy!"

"What do you mean?" Yu Qingyi looked even more confused.

Was she considered a genius?

She supposed it was true.

To reach the Golden Body Realm, wasn’t every cultivator a genius?

Without a certain level of talent, not to mention the Golden Body Realm, even reaching the Innate stage was a significant hurdle.

Yang Zhenshan replied with a smile, "Have you not noticed that your vitality is exceedingly potent compared to others?"

"Vitality!" Yu Qingyi mused, "Isn’t this a distinctive trait of the Green Wood Longevity Skill?"

"Indeed, that is also accurate." Yang Zhenshan assented.

The vitality coursing through Yu Qingyi was remarkably strong, potentially surpassing even what he possessed before acquiring the Divine Wood Treasure Cauldron.

The primary reason for this was the inherent characteristic of the Green Wood Longevity Skill. This scripture originated from the Qingmu Longevity Scripture, and their core principles are fundamentally the same. However, the Green Wood Longevity Skill streamlines the process of transforming spiritual apertures into mana.

Consequently, the remarkable features found in the Qingmu Longevity Scripture are also mirrored in the Green Wood Longevity Skill.

As for the secondary reason, Yang Zhenshan surmised it might stem from Yu Qingyi’s exceptional comprehension; she had grasped the Path of Life and Death at an earlier stage than he had.

Back during their time on Divine Wood Island, Yu Qingyi demonstrated the ability to cultivate plants using her True Qi, causing them to flourish rapidly even without the aid of nature’s spiritual energy.

At that juncture, they had attributed this extraordinary ability to the Dao Intent of Innate Martial Artists. However, later, upon reaching the Sea of Spirit, they concluded that it was, in fact, a unique characteristic of the Wood Attribute cultivation.
