Chapter 79: Chapter 78: Yang Fu’s Talent Skyrockets by Taking the Elixir

Apart from this storage bag, there wasn’t anything else valuable left from the Xiang Family. Yang Shi paced around the yard, looking at this place that was unfamiliar yet had a hint of familiarity.

This was where he grew up until he was six years old, and he still had vague impressions of it in his memory.

“Dad, Mom… Yang Shi has taken back our ancestral home.”

“Ancestors bless us, I will avenge our family’s grudge.”

“The people of the Xiang Family… none of you will escape.”

Yang Shi’s eyes were resolute. This was just the beginning of his revenge.

While Yang Shi was feeling emotional, Yang Genshuo made a Manifestation to Yang Fu in the Devil Wind Forest and asked Jiang Xiaobai to cover her face and make a trip to the Xiang Mansion.

Jiang Xiaobai was amazed to see Yang Shi, who now looked even taller and more robust.

“Husband Brother~ how come you’ve grown so much…”

“Uh… it’s a long story. I’ll tell you all about it when I get home. This is the Li Fire Nine Palace Formation; set it up in the Xiang Mansion, and from now on, this will be… the territory of a Demon Cultivator.”

“Okay! Leave it to me.”

The Array was already prepared, requiring only the placement of the Array Flags at specific locations and activation with Spiritual Energy to be successfully established.

After placing Array Flags at several positions and hiding the Array Eye, a surge of fire Spiritual Energy shot up into the sky, enveloping the Xiang Mansion inside it.

Bang!

Heat waves tumbled, turning the Xiang Mansion into a giant oven. The Loose Cultivators who were sent to rest were suddenly alarmed!

“This flame… could instantly turn me into charred ash.”

“Even Cultivators at the Qi Refinement Realm would have a hard time withstanding this Array. We’d better just focus on farming.”

“That Demon Cultivator is truly terrifying. I wonder who is more powerful compared to the Demon Path’s Twin Stars, the fat and thin Daoist and Ding Zhen?”

“What does that have to do with us? Better to have a good sleep and work hard tomorrow.”

The five Loose Cultivators, upon seeing the Li Fire Array, gave up completely on the idea of escaping.

After finishing all this, Yang Shi was ready to go home with Jiang Xiaobai.

“Xiaobai, do you want to try what it feels like to fly?”

Xiaobai looked at the giant black bat, her cheeks sparkling with excitement.

“Yes!”

@@novelbin@@

“Come on up, I’ll fly you back to our home.”

The two of them stood on the bat and returned to the Spirit Lake in the Devil Wind Forest.

“Dad! You’re back.” Yang Fu, who always acted mature for his age, couldn’t help showing his longing.

“Yeah. How has everything been at home? Have you been following the instructions of our ancestor?”

“Good, I’ve always listened to the ancestor’s words. I even learned the Talismanic Skill, so I can draw Talismans for dad.”

“Hahaha, that’s great because dad brought you a set of Talisman drawing tools. I’ll give them to you in a bit.”

Yang Fushuo standing beside him tilted his head, seemingly not recognizing Yang Shi now.

“Shuo’er, come here, call dad.” Jiang Xiaobai glared at him.

Yang Fushuo immediately hurried over and called out, “Dad~”

“Hahaha~ Shuo’er has also grown taller.”

Having been away from home for over two months, Yang Shi missed his family dearly, and they chatted until daylight, seemingly never running out of things to say.

In the end, Jiang Xiaobai sent the two children back to their rooms.

“Husband Brother, I had some spare time and built a wooden house on that tree top. The view is beautiful; do you want to go see it?”

“Yeah, let’s take a look.”

Yang Shi held Jiang Xiaobai and soared into the sky, effortlessly climbing up the tall tree to find the wooden house above.

Greeting the sunrise… the two of them expressed their longing for each other in the most tangible way.

“Tsk tsk tsk~ you’re really going all out with outdoor romance; you play even more tricks than I did!”

Yang Genshuo fast-forwarded time to the next day.

Only then did the two come down from the treetop and start to check the storage bag from Xiang Pihe.

Jiang Xiaobai held it in her hand, spent half a day refining it with Spiritual Energy before she could open it.

“Oh? There are three Cultivation Techniques, some Talismans, and a lot of Crystal Stones.”

Blood Soul Great Method, Vortex Tide Skill, Earth Venerate Spirit Technique.

He burnt the Blood Soul Great Method with a flick of his hand.

“The Vortex Tide Skill was the Water Element Cultivation Technique that Xiang Pihe practiced. Its power is decent… I’ve also seen this at the Xuan Stone Sect, pretty standard.”

“I didn’t expect Xiang Pichi’s Earth Venerate Spirit Technique to still exist. This Earth Element Cultivation Technique… is actually not bad, a rare summoning type.”

After giving his assessment, Yang Genshuo concluded:

“But it’s of no use.”

After all, the three cultivators of the Yang Family already had suitable cultivation techniques; unless there was some qualitative change, they wouldn’t need to switch techniques.

One reason for happiness was that the two jade scrolls of cultivation techniques were not single-use, so they could be kept as part of the Yang Family’s heritage; if a child with an outstanding Water Spirit Root or Earth Spirit Root emerged in the future, they could use them.

Moreover, the magic artifact that Yang Shi had imagined to be unused wasn’t there.

The talismans only included five Second Grade ones; it was no wonder Xiang Pihe was shocked when he saw Yang Shi start with five Second Grade talismans.

A single encounter had cost him all that he had.

“So, it turns out that Xiang Pihe was a miser! He actually had 2089 Low Grade Spirit Stones in his bag!”

Even for Batman Yang Shi, that number was shocking.

It’s known that for a Qi Refining Stage Cultivator, earning Spirit Stones is not easy.

Take the 15 mu of Spirit Fields previously occupied by the Xiang Family, for example. If they were all planted with Spirit Grain expected to harvest yearly, and managed well…

An output of 500 catties per mu would be quite good; thus, for 15 mu, that would make 7500 catties of Spirit Grain.

Converted to Spirit Stones, that would only be 375 stones.

That Xiang Pihe could save up 2089 Spirit Stones was truly a feat.

“See, that’s the downside of hoarding Spirit Stones without spending them. If he had exchanged them all for Second Grade talismans, I really couldn’t have done anything to him.”

Yang Shi felt proud of his timely spending strategy.

To use Spirit Stones to assist in winning a battle that would otherwise be unwinnable, and then to take the enemy’s Spirit Stones.

“Xiaobai, how much space is inside this storage bag?”

After contemplating for a moment, Xiaobai pointed to a small wooden hut atop a tree branch and said, “About that size, nearly the same as the space in Brother Bai Heyu’s storage ring…”

“Ah, so not very big.” Yang Shi was somewhat disappointed; this storage bag was just ordinary.

However, even this kind of ordinary item could sell for about 500 Spirit Stones. Storage Magical Treasures were extremely expensive; ordinary Qi Cultivators could hardly afford them.

Upon hearing Xiaobai’s description, Yang Genshuo could imagine just how pitiful the amount of space inside was.

“Barely over one cubic meter? No wonder Daoist Fat and Thin has to use human and animal transportation to take away the Spirit Food every time he comes… That really wouldn’t fit.”

“With these 15 mu of Spirit Fields in our hands, next year we can expect a great harvest! We will also be able to earn Spirit Stones much faster!”

At yesterday’s gathering, Dao Ye brought over the first generation of hybrid Spirit Wheat seeds he had developed.

This new hybrid Spirit Wheat seed, imbued with high-yield regular wheat genes, could significantly increase the Yang Family’s Spirit Wheat production if it grew successfully.

“I can’t wait to fast-forward to the ancestral worship.”

The Yang Family, having opened the way to the Xuan Stone Sect and purchased flying mounts, could now resume trade, continuing on the 20-year development plan previously set.

This time, Yang Shi also brought back a large amount of supplies for the Yang Family to use.

Time Acceleration!

The Yang Family started evolving at an incredibly fast pace.

[Hands over 5500 catties of Spirit Wheat, 200 catties of Spirit Rice, one of each of the Five Elements Spirit Fruits.]

[Rewarded with a bag of first-generation hybrid Spirit Wheat seeds, 16500 packs of Grain Avoidance Cakes.]

The Magma Fruit that Xiaobai has been feeding to Little Fire, the tiger, is one kind of the Five Elements Spirit Fruits, graded as First Grade Spirit Fruit, but potent enough to induce some magical traits in the consuming animal.

Such Spirit Fruits are akin to Solid Essence Rejuvenation Pills for Immortal Cultivators, nourishing in nature.

Martial Cultivators nourish the five organs, while cultivators strengthen the Five Elements.

Previously, there was only one Magma Fruit Tree that bore fruit every two years; one tree wasn’t even enough to feed a Little Fire, and so Yang Genshuo did not want to compete with them for it, he had never tried it, usually just eating fruits tinged with Spiritual Energy.

This year, the Xiang Family planted several Spirit Fruit Trees per mu, with a complete set of Five Elements, abundant in yield.

He took a set of the Five Elements Spirit Fruits for himself this year.

“I wonder if they have any effect on my body?”
