When Yang Junshan activated the village protection formation, it was not yet the time for the Ling Tian of the Xishan Village to reap rewards, and when Yang Junshan stabilized his cultivation and came out of the Spirit Origin Cave, the Xishan Village was already in a bleak state, the cold wind blew.
Originally, Yang Junshan had thought that he would be able to completely stabilize his cultivation in at most a monthâs time. But unexpectedly, when his dantian was producing the turbid air and Yang Junshan was successfully advancing to the second stage of the martial arts realm, Yang Junshan, who had not made any qualitative improvements in his body for a long time, suddenly discovered that his physical body was already able to support him in his attempt to cultivate the third picture of the Mountain Lord Diagram.
If the Tiger Inscription Painting was a body tempering diagram used to condense the Qi of a cultivator, then the Tiger Subduing Diagram was likiger on the verge of hunting its prey. It needed to restrain all of the Qi in the body so that its opponent would not be able to feel its hostility.
Concealment of Spiritual Awareness could only be used on cultivators whose Spiritual Awareness was weaker than oneself, but the Tiger Subduing Diagram was able to restrain the Qi of a cultivator. Even cultivators witigher cultivation level might not be able to detect it.
Of course, the Tiger Subduing Diagramâs ability to restrain the Qi of a cultivator was only a side effect of this legacy, its true purpose was to strengthen the cultivatorâs body, and the most intuitive reaction of strengthening the body was to allow Yang Junshanâs cultivation, which was after entering the second level of martial arts realm, to stabilize faster.
Walking out of the Spirit Origin Cave, Yang Junshan saw dozens of large carriages galloping toward the village from afar. They had followed the villageâs main road all the way up to the western mountains.
At the other entrance of the belly of the mountain halfway down the western mountain, Yang Qingniu was instructing dozens of strong men from Lao Yangâs family to remove the things on the carriage and then transport them to the various storage rooms in the belly of the mountain.
The cave of the Western Mountain was still being hollowed out, and there was not just the Spirit Origin Cave at the entrance, but following the opening of the village protection formation, the Spirit Origin Cave was the entire arrayâs center, and the Spirit Origin Cave had already been sealed off by the Immovable Mountain Formation, such that without Yang Junshan and the other normal peopleâs permission, they would not be able to enter.
âUncle Qing Niu, did all of these come from the Bluestone Town?â
Yang Qingniu was originally supervising the transport of cultivation resources in the carriage, but when he heard the voice suddenly, he was shocked. When he turned around, he saw Yang Junshan and laughed, âChild, why are you like a cat, not moving at all?â
Yang Junshan âHeheâ laughed, and said: âUncle, how are your injuries recovering, when are you planning to charge toward martial arts realm again?â
Yang Qingniu let out a âhehâ and said: âHis injuries are almost healed, but the last time he went into closed-door training to try to break through martial arts realm, he almost died. This time, Uncle intends to delay it for another year or so, to accumulate some strength before doing anything else.â
Pausing for a moment, Yang Qingniu continued: âAll these vehicles came with Bluestone Townâs people from our Lao Yang family, and those driving the carriage were all members of our Lao Yang family, but this carriage of cultivation materials was something your uncle myself found hard to believe, it is obviously impossible for them to be brought by Lao Yangâs family, I just do not know where your father obtained such a large batch of cultivation materials, but the eyes of the other Martial Realm Cultivator in the village would probably fall out of their sockets.â
Yang Junshan smiled faintly, he had expected that this was his father personally presiding over the migration of the family members as a cover, and also rented a carriage to move all of the resources stored in the grandsonâs treasury back home.
Yang Junshan offhandedly asked: âDid everything go smoothly with the migration?â
Maybe it was because there were too many people who wanted to come with your father this time. The Wang family, oh, your grandmother, your second grandfather and others tried to stop them, and both sides maduge ruckus in the Bluestone Town, but in the end, your father only brought thirty to forty people from the Lao Yang family back. Moreover, half of these thirty to forty family members were old and weak, and there werenât even any Spiritual Farmers left as the pillar of the family.
Yang Junshan laughed and said: âAnyway, we are not lacking in terms of food, so letâs just treat it as leaving some good reputation.â
Yang Junshanâs words obviously made Yang Qingniu agree with him greatly, and said: âYouâre right, not to mention the dozens of carriages full of cultivation resources, just the Xishan Villageâs harvest this year is more than enough to support the Lao Yang family.â
Yang Junshan laughed and asked, âOh, so this yearâs harvest is pretty good?â
Yang Qingniu laughed and said: âThat depends on how we compare. If itâs compared to previous years, Xishan Villageâs harvest this year is even 10% worse, of course, this does not include our Yang Family, because of the use of that batch of high quality Late Rice Spirit Seeds, our harvest did not decrease, on the contrary because of the operation of the big array which controlled the weather, and even increased it by half, but compared to other people outside Xishan Village, we are really a lone wolf.â
The more Yang Qingniu spoke, the more excited he became, and said: âItâs because the entire Wasteland Town was able to provide us more sufficient spirit seeds for the night valley and night rice, because we can get about seventy to eighty percent of the harvest this year, but outside the Wasteland Town, itâs not so good, because the area affected during the late spring is too big, resulting in a large area being unable to provide sufficient spirit seeds for the late spring, so this yearâs spiritual valleyâs harvest of sixty percent is already considered good, but now we are considered as a lone crop.â
Yang Junshan laughed: âA one-sided show is not enough, donât forget that we still have three powerful people as well as the county magistrateâs land. Most of them are protected by array formations, and they can control a lot more resources than us, so the degree of suffering should be extremely light.â
Yang Qingniu said solemnly: âLittle Shan, you are right, they do have resources that are far richer than us, but they cannot be prepared for a snow disaster on such a large scale like this, even if they have enough Night Valley Spirit Seeds, with the protection of the array, it will be too late to save them after a snow disaster. At most, they can only be like the Wasteland Town who are able to guarantee seventy to eighty percent success rate.â
At this time, Yang Junshan remembered something, and asked with a smile: âUncle Tie Zhu, do you have any news about my uncle?â
Yang Qingniu laughed, âYou want to ask if your uncle has broken through to the late stage of martial arts realm?â
Without waiting for Yang Junshan to nod his head, he taunted: âBreaking through my ass, your uncle is about to be jabbed in the back by the people of the Lao Yang Clan, why is your fatherâs return to Bluestone Town this time around, almost causing the entire Lao Yang Family to go crazy? It is not only because the Lao Yang Familyâs Ling Tian has not been harvested yet again this year, but also because your father is the second cultivator in the late stage of martial arts realm after your grandfather. â
âThey were both brothers by birth, and one of them took in the clan members in the name of attacking the late stage of martial arts realm, yet they did not do anything to help the clan; one did not rely on the familyâs strength to create a world by himself, so isnât it obvious who did what?â
Yang Junshan laughed and did not say anything else. Yang Qingniu vented his anger and knew that this was, after all, the direct line of descent of the Lao Yang family. They did not have much to say about this, so they quickly turned their attention back to unloading the cultivation resources.
When Yang Junshan returned to his own courtyard, Yang Tiangang was busy arranging all sorts of matters in the village. His entire person seemed exceptionally busy, but Yang Junping was likail, always following behind him and helping him organize his various matters. At the same time, he ran in and out to pass on all kinds of information.
Yang Tiangang saw Yang Junshan walking in and looked up. His face revealed a pleased smile, and he said: âHas your cultivation been consolidated?â
Yang Junshan nodded his head and laughed: âI heard that when you returned to the Bluestone Town this time, it was with great prestige?â
Yang Tiangang glanced at him, and said: âWhat prestige do you have in front of your own family?â
Yang Junshan knew that he wasnât willing to talk about the matter with Lao Yangâs family, so he changed the topic: âFather, this time, should you also go to the county court to visit Chen County when you have advanced to the late stage of the martial arts realm? I heard that once the cultivators of the Mengyu County advance to the late stage of the martial arts realm, their status would increase greatly, and they might even have the authority to participate in the decisions of the Mengyu County.â
Yang Tiangang laughed: How can I forget about this matter, my position did indeed rise, but all these so-called participation in the decision is just a gimmick, at most I have the power to make the decision, the only decisions that can be made are the Chen County Order and the Three Great Heroes, now it is only the Chen County Order that has the initiative, her performance is just a little stronger.
Yang Junshan said: âArenât these all within expectations?â
Yang Tiangang said: Thatâs true, at least from today onwards, you donât have to worry about being used as a weapon by others in the county, thatâs right, since you have already come out of seclusion, then you have to take care of the matters in the village. When I was in seclusion, you did a good job, now that the village protection formation are closed, the people from Lao Yangâs family have migrated, set ueserve of resources, raised a lot of Ling Tian, etc.
Hearing that, Yang Junshan immediately waved his hand, and said: âDonât, Second Brother did not do anything bad, I see that he is very interested right now, you better not ruin his enthusiasm, and continue using him, your son still wants to do some other things.â
Yang Tiangang raised his head and looked at him, and said: âRegardless of whether itâs the Xishan Village or the Yang family, all of them will be handed over to you in the future. Itâs best for you to understand these things as soon as possible.â
Yang Junshan said with a stern expression, âThis childâs ambition is not here.â
Yang Tiangang was startled upon hearing that, but seeing that Yang Junshan was serious, he hesitated before nodding his head: âThatâs fine, you can busy yourself with your own matters first, there is no need to ask about the matters of the village for now.â
After coming out, the first thing Yang Junshan decided to do was to makrip to the county cityâs dark market. After cultivating in seclusion for a period of time, Yang Junshan had finally made up his mind to exchange for that half of the [Earth Escape Spirit Art] with the disc-shaped middle grade magic tool he found in Chenyu Countyâs grandsonâs treasury.
