Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1530 - 952: Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword Forged
Previously on Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather...
As they spoke, the two arrived outside the treasure vault.
This time, Yang Zhenshan did not enter. Mainly because Situ Yuan did not invite him in, and it would be awkward to force his way in.
Actually, Yang Zhenshan was quite curious about their conversation; perhaps it involved some secrets of the Hidden Sword Mountain.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Jian Changhe finally came out of the vault.
"Did you get it?" Yang Zhenshan asked.
Jian Changhe nodded indifferently.
Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but feel a bit envious. Look at the Hidden Sword Mountain, they can easily produce Jie Dan Spirit Objects and exchange them for another type.
As for him?
He still had to painstakingly improve his alchemy skills, diligently preparing for exchanging Spirit Objects.
However, Jian Changhe must have paid a hefty price to acquire the Forget River Dew.
Perhaps Situ Yuan had some old ties with Hidden Sword Mountain, but Jie Dan Spirit Objects would certainly not be given away for free, whether by Situ Yuan or the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.
As for how many Jie Dan Spirit Objects Hidden Sword Mountain has, Yang Zhenshan estimated there wouldn’t be too many.
Before Heavenly Sword True Monarch ascended, he must have trained successors, so the remaining Jie Dan Spirit Objects should be very limited, otherwise Jian Changhe wouldn’t personally come to exchange for Forget River Dew.
"When does the Mountain Master intend to reach Core Formation?"
"You really care about this?"
"Of course, I want to watch when the Mountain Master crosses the tribulation and gain some experience for my future tribulation crossing!" Yang Zhenshan did not hide his ambition for the Golden Core Path at all.
Jian Changhe laughed heartily at these words, "Just wait, if I cross a tribulation, I’ll definitely inform you in advance."
...
Jian Changhe did not linger long in White Cloud Immortal City; he left the same day after acquiring the Forget River Dew.
But he did give Yang Zhenshan a Third-Order Demon Core as a reward for helping mediate the connection.
Although he could meet Situ Yuan at the Ten Thousand Treasures Store, having Yang Zhenshan as a mediator avoided attracting some people’s attention.
Moreover, Yang Zhenshan helped confirm that the store owned the Forget River Dew, as the Mountain Master, he naturally couldn’t let Yang Zhenshan work for free, so he used a Third-Order Demon Core to reward Yang Zhenshan for his help this time.
After Jian Changhe left, Yang Zhenshan returned to his small courtyard to train.
Of course, his training mainly involved staying at the Spirit Source Land, practicing and engaging in alchemy as needed.
Probably due to Zhao Tianhai’s influence, Yang Zhenshan had become more wary of the internal politics of the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.
The main cause was Zhao Tianhai and his peculiar followers, which Yang Zhenshan found increasingly odd.
In the past six months, he had also learned a lot more about Zhao Tianhai.
How would one describe him?
He felt Zhao Tianhai was a brainless fool.
Arrogant and domineering, he acted as if he were the fiercest person around.
But Zhao Tianhai did possess some skills; his alchemy was superior to Yang Zhenshan’s, whether refining Demon Essence Pills or other Second-Order Pills, both the success rate and quality were not inferior to Yang Zhenshan’s.
It’s worth noting that Yang Zhenshan only achieved such success rates and quality with the support of the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace, while Zhao Tianhai didn’t have an alchemy furnace comparable to the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace.
One could say Zhao Tianhai’s alchemy level was far stronger than Yang Zhenshan’s.
A promising alchemist like him naturally garnered attention from the Ten Thousand Treasures Store, so despite his arrogance, no one confronted him due to the store’s patronage.
Yet, the more it was this way, the stranger Yang Zhenshan felt.
How could a Foundation Establishment Cultivator possibly be a brainless fool?
And not just one, but a group.
How did this group of fools come together?
Yang Zhenshan couldn’t understand it, suspecting that there were hidden secrets behind all this.
To avoid trouble, he chose to stay in the Spirit Source Land, unless absolutely necessary, he would never show up at the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.
He did not appear in the Sea of Spirit either.
Jian Changhe was preparing for Core Formation, and Hidden Sword Mountain must be highly sensitive at this time. As someone in the know, Yang Zhenshan avoided adding to the tumult to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings.
Actually, he was quite envious of the Jie Dan Spirit Objects Jian Changhe possessed; although he didn’t know how many Jian Changhe had, it didn’t stop him from imagining and speculating.
Unfortunately, Hidden Sword Mountain isn’t an ordinary force, and even if he had the intention, he lacked the power to seize Core Formation opportunities from Jian Changhe.
As days passed, Yang Zhenshan stayed in the Spirit Source Land, practicing and enhancing his alchemy skills, while the Spirit Source Land underwent a leap in development.
After becoming one of the Three Sects of the Spirit Exemplar, the Spirit Source Land first acquired some of the Wuxiang Sect’s heritage, then gained abundant resources and Spirit Stones from the battlefield. Although the Spirit Source Land paid a hefty price for them, compared to the benefits acquired, the price was negligible.
Wuxiang Sect had mineral veins, Spirit Fruit Gardens, and Spirit Medicine Gardens, which greatly compensated for the Spirit Source Land’s shallow heritage.
The establishment of Wuzhen Taoist Palace also gave the Spirit Source Land a new name externally.
On the surface, Wuzhen Taoist Palace replaced the Yang family, becoming one of the Spirit Exemplar’s Three Sects. In reality, the Spirit Source Land controlled the external Wuzhen Taoist Palace.
Although Wuzhen Taoist Palace is led by Xuanzhen, Xuanzhen is also an elder of the Spirit Source Land’s Immortal Hall, and the newly established Wuzhen Taoist Palace was built with the support of the Spirit Source Land.
