Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1725 - 152: Evergreen Pill
Previously on Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather...
On this day, Yang Zhenshan called all four of Yang Mingcheng’s brothers together.
"Here, this is the Four Realms of Spear Dao. You can refer to this cultivation technique for your future training!"
Yang Zhenshan handed four jade scrolls to the brothers.
He said to refer to them, not to follow them exactly.
Because Dao Intent cannot be accurately described, the Four Realms of Spear Dao created by Yang Zhenshan is filled with his subjectivity. Others may not be able to grasp their own Spear Dao from it, so it can only be referred to, not followed step by step.
The four brothers of Yang Mingcheng took the jade scrolls and began to look them over, then each fell into confusion.
What is all this!
They recognized every word, understood each term, could associate many things together with each sentence, but overall, they could not comprehend it.
Seeing their expression, Yang Zhenshan casually smiled and said, "Dao Intent is not easy to comprehend, nor can it be forced. Take your time to explore it!"
"It’s alright if you don’t comprehend it now, you’ll have plenty of time in the future!"
Dao Intent is something that can only be apprehended, not expressed in words. Trying to convey it will leave some ambiguous and unclear information.
"We understand!" Yang Mingcheng also knew that Dao Intent needed to be comprehended by oneself, so he quickly discarded the distractions in his mind and responded.
"Father, can the Four Realms of Spear Dao be passed on to others?" Yang Mingcheng continued to ask.
Yang Zhenshan said unconcernedly, "Of course it can. Later, find someone to make a copy and put it in the Transmission Hall."
The Four Realms of Spear Dao need not be concealed, and since it was created by Yang Zhenshan himself, he naturally hopes it can be widely disseminated, like the highly esteemed Sword Dao.
The Yang family rose to prominence through spear techniques, and the Martial Arts of the Spirit Source Land prospered most by spear techniques, even surpassing the Sword Dao.
Until now, most of the Yang family’s disciples use spears as their weapons.
Thus, from any perspective, Yang Zhenshan would not restrict the dissemination of the Four Realms of Spear Dao.
...
After Yang Mingcheng and the others left, Yang Zhenshan stretched lazily.
Having spent several years creating the fours realms of Spear Dao, his heart was full of accomplishment, and he felt a sense of relaxation.
Then, he leisurely walked out of the Longevity Hall, steadily making his way to the Qingniu Palace.
Old Niu is indeed quite reclusive!
He’s been at the Life Realm Immortal Palace for over a decade now, yet during all these years, apart from the initial few months when he frequently visited the Spirit Source Land to impart knowledge on Spirit Plant cultivation, he has spent his time staying inside the Qingniu Palace, never leaving its doors.
A Demon King this reclusive, Yang Zhenshan had never encountered before.
Upon arriving at Qingniu Palace, Yang Zhenshan entered the rear hall unimpeded.
As expected, Old Niu was lying on a soft rug within the rear hall.
However, he wasn’t asleep; rather he was nurturing his Spirit Plants, akin to a hen incubating eggs, cradling Cultivation Balls in his arms.
"Mr. Yang, do you need something?" Old Niu looked up and asked, but he did not put down his Cultivation Balls.
"Uh~" Yang Zhenshan found this sight somewhat peculiar but he was accustomed to it; Old Niu was always this way whenever he visited.
According to Old Niu, these Spirit Plants need constant nurturing, otherwise their attributes might become imbalanced, affecting their growth.
"Weren’t you going to cultivate a batch of Spirit Plants for the Spirit Source Land? I’m here to see how it’s coming along." Yang Zhenshan said.
"Oh. This, it’s ready for transplantation!" Old Niu took out several Cultivation Balls and sent them to Yang Zhenshan with mana.
"Inside are eighteen Third-Order Spirit Plants and a hundred and twenty-nine Second-Order Spirit Plants, all relatively rare ones I’ve collected. They’ve now grown into seedlings, ready to be transplanted!"
Six Cultivation Balls floated in front of Yang Zhenshan, who examined the seedlings inside each one.
Of course, Old Niu couldn’t have cultivated a large number of Spirit Plants for Yang Zhenshan in just a decade; what he provided were vigorous seedlings. Once transplanted, the Spirit Source Land could yield corresponding Spirit Fruits and Spiritual Medicine.
So many Second and Third Rank spirit plants can enhance the Spirit Source Land’s biodiversity.
"Alright, I’ll have someone plant these seedlings later!" Yang Zhenshan put away the Cultivation Balls.
"Give it to... what’s his name!"
"Yang Qinting!" Yang Zhenshan reminded.
"Yes, yes, him. I’ve taught him how to cultivate these Spirit Plants; he knows where to transplant them!" Old Niu said, smiling.
Yang Qinting specializes in Spirit Plant cultivation. He began learning about plant cultivation while at Xuanqing Sect, and for the past few decades in the Spirit Source Land, he has been researching Spirit Plant cultivation techniques. Now, he is considered the top Spirit Botanist there, responsible for transplanting Second and Third Rank Spirit Plants.
Upon arriving at the Spirit Source Land, Ziwei Tower chose him to study plant cultivation under the Green Bull Demon King.
Old Niu taught him many things, making him half a mentor.
But Old Niu is too reclusive, so Yang Qinting merely spent the first few months studying under him, after which he focused on the jade scrolls given by Old Niu.
Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, "Alright, I’ll give him the Cultivation Balls. Anything else you need?"
"Well, haha, there is something I’d like to ask of you!" Old Niu said, somewhat embarrassed.
Over the years, he had become familiar with Yang Zhenshan. Initially he was cautious, but having spent over a decade in the Immortal Palace, he understood Yang Zhenshan bore him no ill intent, and thus he felt reassured.
