Chapter 44: Chapter 42 The Plump and Slim Demon Cultivator
Cultivators seldom produce Body Refining Elixirs, and this Dragon Tiger Golden Pill was extremely rare. It was the first time Yang Shi had seen it in the Workshop Market in all these years.
After consumption, one could rely on the pill’s pure medicinal strength to nourish the body, and it would stimulate one’s physical potential, greatly enhancing body strength.
The reason Yang Shi knew about it was that his master, Liu Wuheng, had once consumed one and his strength had greatly increased. There were few Innate Masters in the same realm who could match him in combat.
This Second Grade Elixir cost 150 Low Grade Spirit Stones.
While Yang Shi hesitated for a moment, Yang Genshuo could no longer stand by and directly made his Manifestation.
“Buy!”
Once the Grain Avoidance Cake production line was fully operational, the Yang Family wouldn’t lack these 150 Low Grade Spirit Stones.
After purchasing, Yang Shi took it at the Yang Family’s Manor. His two years’ worth of Body Refining progress… began to skyrocket!
On his skin, a dragon and a tiger pattern emerged, muscles knotted. His entire aura surged dramatically.
With every breath he took, it sounded like the roars of dragons and tigers!
Dust flew all around, stirred into motion by this powerful force.
“Mingxin!”
Yang Shi kept a clear head at all times, guiding this huge force with his Inner Breath to transform his body and quickly digest the massive Blood Qi and Spiritual Power.
Hu Zi watched Yang Shi and exclaimed in admiration.
“Such a strong aura… Is Brother Shi finally about to advance?”
Yang Shi had already been in the ninth level of Body Refining for two years. He’d been consuming Spirit Rice and supplements, along with sparring under Liu Wuheng’s guidance without any delay. Now, he had reached the critical point.
The Dragon Tiger Golden Pill directly helped him break through all of that.
Boom!
A massive current of air burst from Yang Shi, flipping debris all around him.
His essence, energy, and spirit became one, the Qi-Blood in his body surged, and when Hu Zi saw him, he looked as fearsome as a wild beast!
“Body Refining tenth level, essence and energy united, Half-step Innate Realm!”
[Yang Shi has made a breakthrough in the Martial Cultivation Realm, prosperity to the Yang Family’s martial virtue, incense +100!]
[Yang Shi’s Spiritual Sense has improved, your field of vision has expanded by 50 meters.]
The fog of war that surrounded Yang Shi slowly dissipated a portion, and Yang Genshuo’s field of vision expanded by half!
It had gone from 100 meters to 150.
“Comfortable~ Now I can see even more things and have a better grasp on more information.”
Yang Genshuo has two fields of vision now, one from Yang Shi and the other from little Yang Fu.
He could switch views at any time to watch, and he could also Manifest to both of them and bestow Blessings.
This was very convenient for him, as it allowed him to easily stay informed of the Yang Family members’ movements.
But he couldn’t see Jiang Xiaobai and Hu Zi’s field of vision; Yang Genshuo guessed it was because these two did not have the bloodline of the Yang Family.
Feeling the body of a Half-step Innate, Yang Shi closed his eyes and could vaguely perceive the movements of the wind and grass around him; he could even sense Hu Zi’s heartbeat and the faint panting of the slaves lying in the fields basking in the sun…
“So this is what Half-step Innate is like.”
Finally, he understood why his master could easily take care of him even with closed eyes.
“Spiritual Sense, huh… So if Yang Shi’s Spiritual Sense improves again, my vision can expand further.”
[Yang Shi’s breakthrough to Body Refining tenth level, Talent ‘Cry and Laugh Inappropriately++’ has changed…]
[Cry and Laugh Inappropriately+++（Mortal Level）: Efficiency in completing tasks will fluctuate significantly based on mood, mood elation +35%, mood depression -35% (influenced by the Mingxin Technique)]
“An additional 5% increase in talent… could it eventually upgrade to Earth Level Talent directly? With increased efficiency in martial training… I might quickly ascend to an Innate Master.”
After clicking his tongue twice, another prompt popped up.
[After consuming the Second Grade Elixir ‘Dragon Tiger Golden Pill,’ Yang Shi gained the Talent ‘Dragon and Tiger Giant Power (Mortal Level)’]
[Dragon and Tiger Giant Power (Mortal Level）: Physical strength significantly increased.]
“Flying Sword Traceless!”
Feeling inspired, Yang Shi pulled out his Flowing Water Sword, executed a flourish, and with force, hurled it toward a large boulder in the yard.
Bang!
Driven by immense power, the Flowing Water Sword directly and brutally pierced through the boulder, shattering it into pieces.
At first glance, it appeared somewhat similar to Bai Heyu’s Sword Control Technique!
“Brother Shi’s strength is so impressive!”
Hu Zi, who practiced the Domineering Technique and was endowed with the Talent [Small Success in Own Craft], inherently had greater strength than Yang Shi.
But after consuming the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill, a casual flick from Yang Shi could cause such destruction, outright overpowering him.
Hu Zi even suspected that the leader of the three small thieves from the Miao Family who had invaded their teahouse could not have beaten the current Yang Shi.
“Whale game is fierce!”
150 Spirit Stones for a realm breakthrough and a Mortal Level Talent, what a steal!
“Immortal Cultivation, Immortal Cultivation… what you actually cultivate are resources, wealth, partners, law, and domain, the first of which is wealth!”
Yang Genshuo felt as if he had grasped something about the Immortal Cultivation Path.
Mortal medicines are just for body conditioning.
Immortal Pills can make one advance in power rapidly!
“Looking at the situation, as long as I have Spirit Stones, Yang Shi can keep sending me Immortal Pills, and I can eat my way to becoming an Innate Master!”
“I’ll just eat and eat and eat! I’ll have a taste of every Elixir I come across!”
After Yang Shi washed up, a person with a hooded cloak came to the door.
“Family Head, the masked Cultivator has visited the Xiang Mansion again…”
This person was Yang Shi’s spy who was stationed at the tavern right in front of the Xiang Family.
“Good, I’ve got it…”
The masked ones were Demon Cultivators from the Blood Soul Valley. They would come to the Xiang Mansion during the Workshop period every year and take away large quantities of Spirit Rice, Spiritual Grain, and Spirit Fruits.
Yang Genshuo made a point of keeping an extra-close watch at this time each year to prevent any accidents, as they were Demon Cultivators and it wouldn’t be odd for them to do something unexpected.
Fortunately, for the past few years, they’ve been rather well-behaved, only engaging in exchanges with the Xiang Family.
When it came to the Xiang Family, Yang Genshuo couldn’t help but think of those vast Spirit Fields that stretched out farther than the eye could see.
“If only I could snatch those Spirit Fields that originally belonged to my Yang Family, that would be perfect.”
Unfortunately… the Blood Soul Valley Demon Cultivators aside, just the mere presence of Qi Cultivators in the Xiang Mansion posed a huge challenge.
The overall strength of the Yang Family was still slightly weaker, insufficient for launching an offensive.
“What on earth are the Xiang Family plotting with the Demon Cultivators?”
Yang Genshuo had been curious about this for a long time.
“Right! My vision has improved by 50 meters, and I might be able to uncover some information with it.”
Today, he decided to have Yang Shi take him for a sneak peek.
Yang Shi, following Yang Genshuo’s instructions, sat on the second floor of the tavern and looked towards the tall perimeter wall of the Xiang Mansion. Closing his eyes, he sensed carefully, apparently feeling some sort of danger lurking beneath the wall.
“This must be the Defensive Array that our ancestor spoke of…”
The image on Yang Genshuo’s side showed an Array prompt, with a square outline of light framing the entire Xiang Mansion.
[Earth Shield Array (First Level): Activated to form a continuous chain of earth shields, resisting outside Spiritual Sense probes and attacks.]
Yang Genshuo didn’t know the defensive capabilities of this First Level Array, but… he could see the Array Eye. It was located in the flower pond of the Xiang Mansion; merely destroying the Array Eye would immediately render the entire Array ineffective.
Yang Shi was sitting on the second floor, tasting wine, while Yang Genshuo explored the Xiang Mansion within a 150-meter radius.
This time, he was able to see inside the council hall of the Xiang Mansion!
Two Qi Refinement Realm Blood Soul Valley Demon Cultivators, one fat and one thin, were chatting with the only Qi Cultivator in the Xiang Mansion, Xiang Pichi.
“Did the two Soul Envoys have a smooth journey this time? Did you encounter disciples from the Xuan Stone Sect? I’ve heard they’ve been joining forces lately to intercept Demon Cultivators.”
The fat Demon Cultivator spoke arrogantly, “Heh heh~ Although the Xuan Stone Sect disciples have profound cultivation, the ordinary Qi Cultivators… the more they come, the more we’ll kill. We have chosen to come here discreetly, merely to avoid exposing your Xiang Family.”
“We snuck through the Demon Wind Woods,” the thin Demon Cultivator said expressionlessly.
The fat Demon Cultivator glanced slightly at the thin one.
Xiang Pichi was somewhat surprised, “Oh? Moving through the Demon Wind Woods… That’s not an easy path, with Demon Clans, fierce beasts, and rumors of flesh-eating goblins, quite terrifying!”
The fat Demon Cultivator snorted coldly, “We two are Demon Cultivators, with the Soul Summoning Banner in hand, and the Night Wander of a hundred spirits, why would we fear such trivial beings?”
“There were no Demons, the fierce beasts were avoided, and the flesh-eating goblins are just unenlightened savages who spend their days guarding small Spirit Fields, basking in the sun; there is no trouble if they’re not provoked.”
The thin Demon Cultivator remained expressionless.
The fat Demon Cultivator’s mouth twitched slightly.
Xiang Pichi’s eyes glittered the moment he heard the term ‘Spirit Fields.’
“More wild Spirit Fields? Could you please show me the way? My Xiang Family would go and cultivate them, and next year we could offer more to the Blood Soul Valley.”
The fat Demon Cultivator said, “Without our route, at best you would fall into a beast trap and get your heart ripped out, or at worst, get captured by savages and roasted on a stick to be split and eaten. Are you sure you still want to go? Heh heh heh~”
“This is the route map… Anyway, we change routes every year, so if you’re free, go cultivate it yourselves. Those savages are weak, and if they bother you, just kill them,” the thin Demon Cultivator said with an emotionless face.
“I’ve been patient with you for a while now! Why do you keep stealing my thunder? Do you want to try my Soul Summoning Banner’s fierce ghosts?”
“My Soul Summoning Banner is also quite formidable!”
The thin Demon Cultivator did not give the blustering fat Demon Cultivator any face.
After a tense moment when it seemed they’d start fighting, Xiang Pichi broke out in a sweat. He thought to himself that if the Demon Cultivators tainted this big plot of Spirit Fields… he would be facing punishment from the Family Head.
“Hold on, hold on! Please calm down, both of you. It’s my fault for being a poor host… I have some spiritual food here. It’s something my nephew brought from the Xuan Stone Sect, can be stored for many years, a good item for your journey.”
The fat Demon Cultivator immediately giggled greedily, “What kind of tasty treat?”
The thin Demon Cultivator didn’t say much but collected his Soul Summoning Banner.
“The item is known as the… Grain Avoidance Cake!”
After the exchange, the two Demon Cultivators left with a massive caravan.
Left in the Xiang Mansion, Xiang Pichi holding the map in his hands, revealed a smile.
“Once I get these remaining Spiritual Objects back to Danai City, I’ll come back and take over these Spirit Fields.”
Click~
Yang Genshuo found a good angle and used his cutting-edge phone to snap a picture of the route map.
“I was just worried about you hiding in the Xiang Mansion, not daring to come out…”
“These Spirit Fields, must bear the Yang surname!”
“No one, can farm better than I!”
