Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1359: Chapter 870: Breakthrough, Breakthrough, Breakthrough (Part 2)

As if he could control everything.

"Wind rise!"

As his mind stirred, a gentle breeze came rushing forward.

"Clouds gather!"

The sky changed dramatically, the formerly clear skies turning overcast in an instant.

"Thunder roar!"

Rumble rumble~~

Lightning flashed, thunder rolled.

"Rain fall!"

Patter patter~~

Torrential rain poured down.

The sudden change in weather left the people in Jade City a bit startled.

"Why did it suddenly start raining?"

Inside Ziwei Tower, Yang Chengmao looked at the rain outside the window, feeling puzzled.

Weather changes in Spirit Source Land rarely involve such rapid storms because the weather in Spirit Source Land changes with the external environment, but is much milder.

For instance, if torrential rain falls outside, Spirit Source Land would only experience moderate rain; if the world outside turns cold during winter, Spirit Source Land would maintain a relatively warm temperature.

If it snows outside, Spirit Source Land won’t snow, but rain instead.

Such weather changes are unusual, indicating that Spirit Source Land isn’t a complete world, and the Heaven and Earth Great Dao isn’t entirely present, relying on the external Heaven and Earth Great Dao to operate.

In this situation, Spirit Source Land cannot take shelter in a Void like a Grotto Heaven and cannot become an independent small world.

Now, as Yang Zhenshan’s cultivation improves, Spirit Source Land seems to be quietly growing, developing toward a complete small world.

Yang Zhenshan has a very clear understanding.

"Perhaps once I condense the Golden Core, Spirit Source Land will become a true world!"

He gazed at the cloudy sky, deep in thought.

"What’s happening?"

At this moment, Yu Qingyi appeared behind him, looking at the sky in confusion.

"It’s nothing, I’ve broken through and tested my new ability!" Yang Zhenshan reached out to clasp her arm, smiling.

It was indeed a new ability!

The ability to control the weather.

Not only in Spirit Source Land, but also outside, though not as easily or smoothly as within Spirit Source Land.

The advantages brought by this change are not only about controlling the weather but many others, representing Yang Zhenshan’s understanding of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao reaching a new level.

"Breaking through, congratulations Husband!" Yu Qingyi said happily.

"Congratulations to you too, my wife!"

The two exchanged smiles and then cuddled together, watching the rain falling outside the eaves.

...

Lotus Heart Valley, Yang Family Artifact Refining Workshop.

Yang Cheng’an was entertaining two young cultivators.

"Immortal Masters, look, this is the Green Spear Sword our artifact refiner just crafted."

He handed a dark green flying sword to the two cultivators, who examined it carefully.

"A top-grade magic artifact, able to store three strands of Sword Qi inside! It’s quite a good sword!"

"How many Spirit Stones for this Green Spear Sword?"

One of the dignified looking cultivators asked.

"Haha, Immortal Masters might know that the price of magic artifacts has risen significantly recently." Yang Cheng’an said with a smile.

"Hmm!" The cultivator’s expression wasn’t great, but he still nodded in agreement.

Recently, Lotus Heart Valley has been unsettled; not only have the prices of magic artifacts soared, but also of Elixirs and talismans.

"Previously, this flying sword was no more than 3,000 low-grade Spirit Stones, but now it requires at least 4,200!"

"I’m not overpricing; it’s indeed because the price of ores has risen a lot."

"Immortal Masters, see for yourselves!"

Yang Cheng’an explained smoothly.

He had to say things like this many times a day. There was no alternative, he wasn’t an Immortal Cultivator. Here, at any task, he must remain modest, and sometimes he had to clarify things to prevent anyone from acting rashly in his presence.

The two cultivators appeared affluent, with vestment robes made of top-grade magic artifacts.

They scrutinized the Green Spear Sword again and said, "I want two swords like this!"

"Um~" Yang Cheng’an smiled wryly, "I’m truly sorry, the store currently has no stock!"

"Can I make a reservation?"

"Yes, but you might need to wait a month; there are too many people reserving magic artifacts at our store right now, and we only have one artifact refiner who is truly overwhelmed!" Yang Cheng’an responded.

The Yang Family Artifact Refining Workshop only has Yang Jizhen as an artifact refiner, and Yang Jizhen also needs to cultivate; he cannot delay cultivation because of artifact refining, so he doesn’t craft many magic artifacts.

If these two cultivators required low-grade magic artifacts, it would be easier to handle; Spirit Source Land has several newly ascended Immortal Cultivation Artifact Refiners who can craft some low-grade artifacts. But since they wanted high-grade magic artifact flying swords like the Green Spear Sword, only Yang Jizhen could refine them.

The cultivator frowned slightly and said, "Alright, I’ll take this flying sword, and will reserve three more Green Spear Swords. How long will it take to complete them?"

Yang Cheng’an calculated in his mind and replied, "Forty days!"

"Hmm, how many Spirit Stones in total?"

"One Green Spear Sword is 4,200 Spirit Stones, reserve three, the deposit is 2,400 Spirit Stones, so Immortal Master needs to pay 6,600 low-grade Spirit Stones!"

The cultivator took out a heap of mid-grade Spirit Stones and tossed them to Yang Cheng’an, his eyes lighting up.

In Lotus Heart Valley, mid-grade Spirit Stones are relatively rare, especially for Qi Refinement Cultivators, who seldom use mid-grade Spirit Stones.

"May I ask the names of the Immortal Masters?" Yang Cheng’an put away the Spirit Stones, took out a white jade token, and asked.

"Zhang Yan!"

Yang Cheng’an took out an engraving knife and inscribed Zhang Yan’s name onto the white jade token, recording the reservation for three Green Spear Swords, specifying they are top-grade magic artifact flying swords.

"Immortal Master, please take good care of it; when the time comes, you only need to bring this token to the store to purchase the reserved Green Spear Swords. Our store recognizes tokens, not people! The Immortal Master can also send someone to buy on their behalf!"

The token he held was the Spring Breeze Order established by Yang Zhenshan, essentially the Yang family winery’s VIP token.

Nowadays, the Spring Breeze Order is much more exquisite than before, with several added restrictions.

Using a token instead of recording on a Jade Scroll was due to Yang Cheng’an’s inability to use Jade Scrolls.

Moreover, the inscription is a special mark, with the token, restriction, and inscription forming a triple-layered anti-counterfeiting mark.

Zhang Yan glanced at the token, nodded slightly, "Farewell!"

"Take care, Immortal Master!"

Yang Cheng’an reverently saw them out of the shop.

He stood at the doorway, watching Zhang Yan’s departing figure, a hint of peculiarity flashing in his eyes.

Having been in Lotus Heart Valley for more than a decade, he met countless Immortal Cultivators, yet found Zhang Yan genuinely exceptional, although he couldn’t pinpoint why.

"Young Master, what’s the matter?"

Yang Jizhen emerged from the backyard at this time and saw Yang Cheng’an standing in the doorway, asking.

"Oh, an Immortal Master just reserved three Green Spear Swords!" Yang Cheng’an snapped back to reality, smiling.

"Three?" Yang Jizhen frowned slightly, "When will they pick them up?"

Yang Cheng’an saw his reaction and understood what he was thinking, smiled, "Don’t worry, Young Master wouldn’t delay your cultivation, forty days later!"

Yang Jizhen’s brows relaxed, "Good! The orders have increased lately, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle them!"

Yang Cheng’an spread his hands, "There’s no choice; it’s been restless lately, everyone feels uneasy!"

Recently, some mysterious strangers appeared outside Lotus Heart Valley, and many cultivators fell victim, making many people think Lotus Heart Valley wasn’t safe, leading to widespread panic.

"It’s strange, where did these mysterious strangers come from, and why haven’t the six families of Qingli Dynasty dealt with them yet!" Yang Jizhen was just as puzzled.

"Who knows! Anyway, it’s not our business, let them handle it!" Yang Cheng’an took out the Spirit Stones from earlier and carefully counted them again, casually saying.

"I’m worried those mysterious strangers might target Lotus Heart Valley!" Yang Jizhen said.

"No way, doesn’t Qingli Dynasty have many Foundation Establishment Cultivators? Can’t they protect Lotus Heart Valley?" Yang Cheng’an said.

"Those Foundation Establishment Cultivators aren’t all here, what if the mysterious strangers also have Foundation Establishment Cultivators?"

"Lotus Heart Valley has never faced this situation before!"

Yang Jizhen expressed his concern.

In the past, there were some mysterious strangers near Lotus Heart Valley, even some at the Foundation Establishment level, but they were cautious, acting once, then hiding for long periods.

This time in just half a year, hundreds of people experienced deadly attacks near Lotus Heart Valley, with many disappearing directly, hence the panic.

Yang Cheng’an rubbed his beard, saying, "You should ask the family, see if there’s any other information!"

They were only running the store here, though they returned to Spirit Source Land sometimes, they rarely paid attention to other matters.

Besides, the Secret Martial Guards had long expanded into the Qingli Dynasty. He thought the Secret Martial Guards might have some other information.

Yang Jizhen thought for a moment, saying, "I’ll ask then! I just have a few questions I need to consult the ancestor!"

"Sure, go ahead, I’ll take care of things here!" Yang Cheng’an said.
