Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1305: Chapter 847: Taking Charge of Yang Family Town, Grand Entrance

"Can merits also be exchanged for Spirit Stones?" Yang Xiangheng felt somewhat incredulous.

"Of course, but I don’t recommend you exchange merits for Spirit Stones!" Li Chang said.

Yang Xiangheng’s eyes widened, and he exclaimed in shock, "Doesn’t that mean my annual salary is nine hundred and sixty Spirit Stones?"

"Uh, what you said isn’t wrong!" Li Chang nodded.

If all the merits were exchanged for Spirit Stones, Yang Xiangheng could indeed receive nine hundred and sixty Spirit Stones annually.

"This~~" Yang Xiangheng was truly shocked.

Currently, the annual income of the Lingxi Yang family is just over a thousand Spirit Stones, and he could receive nearly a thousand as his annual salary in the future.

Yang Xiangheng felt as if he were dreaming.

Yang Xiangdong and Yang Xiangxi were also calculating how much salary they could receive. They were third-class stewards with cultivation at the Earth Evil Stage, and they could receive one hundred ninety-two Spirit Stones and one hundred ninety-two merits annually. If all exchanged for Spirit Stones, that would be seven hundred sixty-eight Spirit Stones.

The three of them were dumbfounded.

Isn’t that too much?

Are they worth that price?

In the Sea of Spirit, they certainly aren’t worth that price.

In the Sea of Spirit, a Loose Cultivator at the Heavenly Gang Stage would earn only three to four hundred Spirit Stones a year, let alone them who are only at the Earth Evil Stage.

But in the Spirit Source Land, it’s different, because Spirit Stones and merits here are almost entirely cycled internally and do not flow out, and prices in the Spirit Source Land are also different from the Sea of Spirit.

For some low-end items, prices in the Spirit Source Land are higher than in the Sea of Spirit, such as meat, Spiritual Wine, Spirit Rice, low-level Spirit Pills, etc., with prices about thirty percent higher than in the Sea of Spirit.

As for some high-end resources, like the Jade Marrow Pill, Hundred Fruit Brew, and Spiritual Dew Tea, these resources cost far less in merits than outside.

Raising the value of low-end goods is to ensure that those at the bottom have enough income to meet their needs. Lowering the price of high-end resources is to encourage everyone to use merits to exchange resources to improve their cultivation.

Therefore, many people’s salaries in the Spirit Source Land are extremely high.

Currently, the Spirit Source Land does not lack Spirit Stones, with eighty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones already stored in the Clan Hall, but what the Spirit Source Land truly lacks is Second-Order materials.

Like ores, Spiritual Medicine, spiritual fruits, etc.

The Spirit Source Land has large areas of spirit fields where Spiritual Medicine and spiritual fruits can be planted, but Second-Order Spiritual Medicine and spiritual fruits have age restrictions, often requiring three to five hundred years.

The Spirit Source Land so far only been around for seventy-plus years, so it is naturally unable to cultivate these Second-Order Spiritual Medicine and spiritual fruits.

Currently, most of the Second-Order Spiritual Medicine and spiritual fruits the Spirit Source Land has were transplanted from the Ancient Relic Array, and although the resources in the Ancient Relic Array are abundant, they are not so plentiful as to include all species.

Thus, in a daze, Yang Xiangheng followed Yang Mingzhi to Yang Family Town to assume his role.

The process of taking over Yang Family Town went smoothly without any waves, as the person in charge of handing over Yang Family Town was Shi Pingshan of the Beishi family.

The reason the Beishi family handled the Lian family is that it was the Beishi family that exposed the betrayal of the Lian family. After Yang Zhenshan instantly killed the ancestor of the Lian family, he left the body in Cloud Abyss Valley, and when the Beishi family cleaned up the battlefield, they naturally discovered the ancestor’s body, thus denouncing the Lian family as traitors.

Secondly, the Wuxiang Sect suffered too much loss this time, so they currently have no interest in dealing with the Lian family or bargaining with the Illusion Moon Sect and Xuanqing Sect.

Therefore, the Illusion Moon Sect was able to easily support the Lingyuan Yang family as one of the twelve families, and the Beishi family, through the Xuanqing Sect, seized the nice task of confiscation.

At this time, Lian Family Town had become empty. The original Lian family members who lived here were either killed or driven away. The large town was only guarded by a hundred or so of the Beishi family, appearing unusually deserted and eerie.

The spirit fields outside Lian Family Town were the same. Originally, these spirit fields were tended by Lian family members, but now that they were all driven away, no one took care of these spirit fields.

However, the Spirit Rice in the spirit fields was still there, along with a large Spirit Fruit Garden.

The Beishi family still had some decency and didn’t transplant the Spiritual Fruit Trees.

Lian Family Town, now it should be called Yang Family Town, because the people of the Yang family had arrived.

A group of over three hundred people galloped along the wide road and soon arrived outside Yang Family Town.

"Who goes there?" Seeing this, the guards of the Beishi family quickly stepped forward and asked.

"Yang Mingzhi of the Lingxi Yang family!" Yang Mingzhi rode a Green Wolf forward a step and replied.

The guards of the Beishi family sized up this team from the Yang family, showing expressions of surprise in their eyes.

This team naturally came from the Spirit Source Land, among them were two hundred Guardian Army members, all clad in spirit armor, holding spiritual weapons, carrying bows and arrows, riding Red Cloud Horses, exuding a unique aura of soldiers.

Among the hundred people left, some were from the Lingxi Yang family, only a dozen or so, and they were all Innate Martial Artists, all equipped with Red Cloud Horses by Yang Mingzhi. The rest were the future cadre of the Spiritual Beauty Hall and personnel from the Commerce Department and the Secret Martial Guards.

Since Yang Family Town would be the stronghold of the Spirit Source Land in the Land of Spiritual Beauty in the future, the Commerce Department and Secret Martial Guards naturally planned to set up offices here, so Yang Mingzhi brought them all.

In the middle of the team, there was a luxuriously decorated carriage. This carriage was framed in sandalwood, wrapped in gilded gold leaf, reflecting a soft golden light under the sun.

The wheels were carved from mahogany with cloud patterns, edged with brass trims, and the spokes bore simple "Stable Run" glyphs, making it almost soundless during transit. At the corners of the carriage hung crimson silk drapes, with four white jade bells inscribed with the word "Peace" in seal script, tinkling with a clear sound upon light movement.
