Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1277: Chapter 831: Cultivation Plan, 3 Years

"Watch closely as I unleash this Geng Metal Sword Qi of mine!"

In the next moment, countless strands of Sword Qi suddenly condensed into a single Geng Metal Sword Qi, piercing through the sky like a rainbow crossing the sun.

It seemed that Master Jing Shui was in the mood, or perhaps he truly wanted to offer some guidance to Yang Zhenshan.

He stood up, flicked his wide sleeves, and in an instant, countless strands of Sword Qi gathered around him, accumulating into a layer of Protective Spiritual Light.

"Can you tell what this is?"

"Golden Light Skill!"

"That’s correct, it’s the Golden Light Skill, but it’s condensed using the Grass and Wood Geng Metal Sword Qi!"

"I’ve cultivated the Grass and Wood Geng Metal Sword Skill, Geng Metal Sword Qi, and Golden Light Skill all to the Transformation Realm, allowing me to transform between these three spells seamlessly."

Master Jing Shui said proudly.

Seeing this, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but show an expression of admiration.

These three spells are all low-level spells, commonly used by Qi Refining Cultivators. Yet, in the hands of Master Jing Shui, these three spells possess power not inferior to higher-level spells.

Amid Yang Zhenshan’s admiring gaze, Master Jing Shui slowly sat down and returned to his old and decrepit appearance.

But then he retrieved a jade scroll and handed it to Yang Zhenshan, "Inside is my insight on various basic spells. You may take it for reference!"

"This isn’t quite right!" Yang Zhenshan said hesitantly, looking at the jade scroll.

He was willing to stay at this Moon Mountain because Master Jing Shui could guide him in many ways. Even just chatting with Master Jing Shui allowed him to gain considerable knowledge about the Immortal Cultivation World.

However, this jade scroll contains Master Jing Shui’s lifetime insights into cultivation, and while Yang Zhenshan was willing to shamelessly sit in on classes, he couldn’t bring himself to accept his inheritance with a thick skin.

"Hehe, it’s nothing. In my lifetime, this is one thing I can still offer. I’ll give it to you as a keepsake!"

"I’ve already left a copy for the Sect, and this is just an extra one I engraved!"

Master Jing Shui said with a kindly smile.

In the Spirit Source Land, Yang Zhenshan is an elder, and many children there have to call him ’Ancestor.’ Yet, in front of Master Jing Shui, Yang Zhenshan is just a young junior.

Yang Zhenshan thought for a moment, stepped forward, and accepted the jade scroll with both hands, "Junior thanks you for the guidance, sir!"

Calling him ’sir’ signified Yang Zhenshan’s acknowledgment of their mentor-student relationship.

Of course, there was no formal master-disciple relationship between them.

"Hehe~~"

With a fling of his robe, Master Jing Shui casually turned and left.

Yang Zhenshan watched his departing figure and sighed softly.

He understood why Master Jing Shui did this; it was nothing more than a strategy to earn more goodwill from him.

Master Jing Shui also had descendants, and presently, one of his juniors was cultivating on Moon Mountain.

In fact, Master Jing Shui wanted Yang Zhenshan to take his junior as a disciple, but Yang Zhenshan would not take on disciples lightly. He was already struggling to teach his five young disciples, so how could he take on another one from outside?

Since taking him as a disciple didn’t work out, Master Jing Shui changed his strategy, trying to make Yang Zhenshan owe him some favors so that in the future, his junior might receive more care from Yang Zhenshan.

This wasn’t the first time Yang Zhenshan encountered such a situation. Back in Lotus Heart Valley, Yao Fu socialized extensively with numerous cultivators, aiming to pave the way for his descendants.

After all, cultivators are human too, especially those whose lifespans are nearing an end. They have no other expectations left, except for the hopes they have for their descendants.

Before their time runs out, they all wish to use their last vestiges of strength to help their descendants gain some connections and opportunities.

Watching Master Jing Shui leave, Yang Zhenshan also returned to his courtyard.

His residence was atop a cliff, a small courtyard with only three main rooms, consisting of a main hall, a quiet chamber, and a tea room.

This small courtyard is only a part of the Moon Mountain estate, merely serving as Yang Zhenshan’s place for cultivation.

In the courtyard, there was an array that could prevent others from entering at will.

Yang Zhenshan chose this courtyard because it was quiet and secluded.

Returning to the courtyard, he activated the array and went directly to the Spirit Source Land.

Sitting in the study, Yang Zhenshan opened the jade scroll that Master Jing Shui had given him and carefully reviewed its contents.

As Master Jing Shui said, this jade scroll recorded his lifetime insights on spells, from when he began learning spells, the issues he encountered during spell cultivation, to how he step by step cultivated spells to the Transformation Realm.

Not only does it contain his insights into spells, but it also explains the reasons behind his choice of spells.

There are countless spells in Immortal Cultivation, but a person’s time and energy are limited; it’s impossible to cultivate all spells.

Each Immortal Cultivator has their strengths and focus in spell cultivation.

Like Master Jing Shui, he specialized in seven types of spells in total: Grass and Wood Geng Metal Sword Skill, Geng Metal Sword Qi, Golden Light Skill, Golden Light Escape Skill, Fleeting Light Phantom, Dust Removal Skill, and Concentrating Spirit Skill.

These seven types of spells include offensive spells, defensive spells, escape technique spells, movement technique spells, and Divine Soul defense spells.

Even though they are low-level spells, they meet all of Master Jing Shui’s needs.

Yang Zhenshan looked at the spells Master Jing Shui cultivated and reflected on his own, realizing that his spell cultivation seemed haphazard, a bit like striking randomly here and there.

Yang Zhenshan decided he should make some plans for his future cultivation and not simply learn whatever he saw.

He put away the jade scroll, pondered for a long time, and then picked up paper and pen to write.

First are the cultivation techniques: two core techniques, the "Qingmu Longevity Scripture" and the "Void Refining Scripture," which are fundamental and must not be neglected no matter what.
