Chapter 195: Chapter 193: Baji’s eyes went dark
Regarding Mid Grade Spirit Stones, Yang Fu had a long conversation with the disciple from the Task Pavilion and learned some unwritten rules within the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect.
Cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage, when cultivating, should ideally use Mid Grade Spirit Stones, which can enhance their perception of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, better integrate the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth into their magic, and far surpass the effectiveness of Qi Refining Stage Cultivators who merely rely on their own internal Spiritual Power to cast spells.
Of course, if there are no Mid Grade Spirit Stones available, one can absorb Low Grade Spirit Stones for cultivation, but the speed and quality are far inferior to that of Mid Grade Spirit Stones.
Some poorer Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators use Low Grade Spirit Stones, but most within the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect use Mid Grade Spirit Stones for their cultivation.
A single Mid Grade Spirit Stone can sustain months of cultivation.
Therefore, if one wishes to hire Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators for tasks within the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, it’s best to use Mid Grade Spirit Stones directly. This way, there’s no need to find someone to exchange them, and it’s more convenient and doesn’t take up too much storage space.
Both Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo’s storage rings were piled up with Low Grade Spirit Stones like mountains, occupying a significant amount of space.
Yang Fu exchanged for 10 Mid Grade Spirit Stones to put in his own ring.
Yang Genshuo looked on with a somewhat wistful expression.
“It feels like we’re earning a lot of Spirit Stones, but in the eyes of high-rank cultivators… it’s still not enough.”
The purchasing power of Mid Grade Spirit Stones is very high. A single one can hire a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator to do your bidding, which is quite nice.
“If the Danai Dynasty could hire Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators to help suppress demon cultivators, let alone one Mid Grade Spirit Stone, even a hundred would not make them blink an eye.”
Although the Yang Family’s income is decent, it’s still far from the income of Sects and Dynasties.
Over at Yang Shi’s end, he was still tidying up the Danai Dynasty, recalculating many unclear and confused accounts from the past—even the Xuan Stone Sect couldn’t believe that the Danai Dynasty had so many Spirit Fields that had not paid taxes!
There, everything needed revitalization, and strong medicine was applied, which would take some time.
Yang Genshuo now paid no attention to that matter since there was no longer anyone in the Danai Dynasty who could pose a threat to Yang Shi’s life.
He focused entirely on overseeing the Yang Family twins!
“Everyone make sure to bear children properly!”
After assigning tasks, Yang Fu was ready to return to the Yang Family’s residence with Yang Fushuo.
“Why do you look so unhappy?”
Yang Fushuo sighed.
“My master said that I could use First Grade Spiritual Medicines at will, and I thought I could take a bit more home, but unfortunately, the pavilion wouldn’t allow it and only let me use them for alchemy and not take any away… damn it!”
“Hehe, it should be like this. Otherwise, no amount of Medicinal Herbs would be enough for you two.”
“Hmph, when I come back, I’ll refine all the Medicinal Herbs into Elixirs and take them out, then I’ll just say they all failed!”
“As long as the philosophy isn’t flawed, there will always be more ways than difficulties!” Yang Fu praised his thrifty younger brother.
To make travel easier, the two brothers spent a considerable amount of money to buy a Cloud Mist Eagle from Fengwu Villa. The eagle was at a high level of Qi Cultivation, extremely tame, and its wingspan was like that of a giant roc spreading its wings, a tuft of clouds floating through the sky.
It could carry up to ten people.
Considered a mid-sized Flying Spirit Beast, it was much better than the fat-headed egret.
This one cost a whopping 3000 Low Grade Spirit Stones.
“With this Spirit Beast, traveling to and from the Family residence will be easier.”
The brothers took just one day to fly back to Silver Brocade Lake, more than twice as fast as the egret.
Below them, more vitality could be seen than before they left, with the previously neglected Spirit Plants tidied up by the three female cultivators and flourishing with energy.
Moreover, some of the buildings of the Guo Family had been demolished, and a group of construction cultivators were now rebuilding.
It was Yang Fushuo’s first time visiting the Yang Family residence, and he was full of amazement.
“My master said that cultivators from the Twelve Dynasties would be sent to barren lands… but this looks pretty good to me!”
“Yes… indeed, I suspect someone may have looked after us. The manager of the Immortal Clan Pavilion was also very kind to me, explaining a lot of knowledge…”
“Master Murong?”
“Possibly… But Master Murong has left. When she returns, I’ll go and ask her to express my gratitude.”
Not just them, even Yang Genshuo felt that aside from Murong Ziyan, who else in the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect could take interest in the Yang Family?
Could it be the daughter of Daoist Xuanzhen?
Unfortunately, Mo Zhu was later detained by the Peak Master of the Thunder Ming Peak; otherwise, Yang Genshuo would have liked to hear the details of the story on how she became at odds with her master, Daoist Xuanzhen, because of his daughter…
Anyway, he only knew that Daoist Xuanzhen’s daughter had taken Mo Zhu’s place to come to the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect.
“We are all part of the same Sect, and perhaps we can take care of each other in the future… Let Yang Shi inquire about it.”
Yang Genshuo manifested, instructing Yang Shi to inquire about Daoist Xuanzhen’s daughter.
After taking a broad view of the Yang Family residence from above, the two descended.
Shen Yao, who held the token of the Yang Family residence, sensed the huge creature in the sky first and immediately became alert.
“Be careful! Someone’s coming!”
Leng Li was cultivating in the backyard when she instantly rose amid the flames, standing on the rooftop with the Array Plate clutched in her hand, ready to activate the “Crystal Cage Array” at any moment.
However, when she saw the people on the Cloud Mist Eagle, her face lit up with joy.
“It’s my husband returning!”
“Ah? My husband’s here!”
A look of excitement blossomed on Shen Yao’s face, stirred by the prospect of reuniting with her spouse. They had just become a Daoist couple when Yang Fu had to leave, and now, still flushed with maidenly emotions, she felt a profound longing.
Tian Mumu looked on enviously.
“I wonder when my Sibling Fushuo will return… I miss him.”
“Here they come, they’re all here!”
Lu Ren shouted, then signaled the construction workers to stop.
“Everyone pause, pay your respects to the Yang Family Master.”
As Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo landed, about ten cultivators holding various kinds of spiritual materials bowed and shouted in unison, @@novelbin@@
“Greetings, Master Yang!”
“What is being constructed here?”
Yang Fu was somewhat surprised; he did not recall having any construction needs.
Leng Li walked over and naturally took Yang Fu’s arm, “Husband, these are the Spiritual Building Cultivators constructing our new residence, specializing in construction magic. They can build structures with different attributes according to the master’s requirements, significantly benefiting cultivation.”
Shen Yao glanced carefully at Leng Li, then quickly latched onto Yang Fu’s other arm.
“We don’t want to live in a house the Guo Family has lived in; we want to build a new one. I had them make you a room balanced with the Five Elements Power, so even sleeping can increase spiritual power.”
Tian Mumu saw Yang Fushuo arrive, her face filled with joy yet with some caution, she went over and held his hand.
“Fushuo brother… I’ve made you a fire room, so we can live together.”
Both were pure Fire Cultivation practitioners, no need to live separately.
Lu Ren also hurriedly said, “This Spiritual Building technique is extremely popular on the Spirit Miao Continent, used by respected Immortal Clans. The Guo Family people are mostly Gold and Wood Cultivators, so their leftover buildings do not match your attribute. Cultivating in those rooms would be half as effective, hence the ladies decided to make some changes.”
After hearing this, Yang Fu understood.
“Quite sophisticated… not bad.”
Seeing that Yang Fu was pleased, Lu Ren continued, “I’ve arranged for the cultivators who plant Spirit Fields for the Yang Family from the Silver Land Dynasty to arrive in a couple of days, just in time for you to inspect them. If any of them are disobedient or not to your liking, you can send them straight back.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Fu was slightly taken aback.
“What’s wrong, husband?”
“I’m thinking of Uncle Hu… In his hands, there are no disobedient slaves.”
Yang Fushuo’s lips curled up slightly.
“Let’s not talk about it, anyone who doesn’t listen, Uncle Hu really whips them! Starting with at least ten lashes, guaranteed to draw blood… Those who don’t listen just disappear, leaving only the obedient ones, right?”
The Yang Family people had no qualms about seeking cultivators to till their Spirit Fields.
Even in the eyes of these two brothers… a Spirit Field without slaves lacked a soul!
They always felt something was amiss!
Which proper cultivator would till their own Spirit Fields?
Yang Fu smiled as he looked toward Lu Ren.
“Don’t worry, if they’re disobedient, I can teach them our Yang Family’s ancestral 24-character mantra and instruct them in the ways of being a human…”
“If they truly can’t be reasoned with, I also have a bit of skill with the whip technique…”
…
“You ten, get up! We’ve reached our destination!”
The gruesome skeletal ship’s captain glared at these cultivators brought from the Silver Land Dynasty, treating them as mere cargo.
The cultivators stood up, silent as cicadas.
Baji, blending in amongst them and feigning only beginner Qi Cultivation stage power, also kept his head down and said nothing.
The captain surveyed the group and said, “You people were all smuggled here by me from the Silver Land Dynasty at great risk. Your families have sold you to me, and now you belong to me!”
This was a shady business, trading cultivators!
They would take cultivators with higher Talent for cultivating Medicinal Herbs from the Silver Land Dynasty low-grade cultivators to the Spirit Miao Continent, earning a lot of Spirit Stones with each shipment.
Most of these cultivators were volunteers, some sold by their families, others for the chance to go to the Spirit Miao Continent… even if it meant enslavement for decades, it was worth the opportunity.
Of course, sometimes when short on people, they’d randomly snatch a few… just needed to beat them more after getting on the ship, but most of them were obedient.
Baji, hiding among them, had come willingly, determined to regain his lost glory!
“Once we arrive at the destination, if any of you cause trouble, don’t cultivate properly, or get sent back… don’t blame me for being ruthless. Useless slaves can only serve as fertilizer!”
“Do you hear me!”
The crowd mumbled, “We hear you…”
“Louder!”
“We hear you!”
“Good! We’ve arrived at Silver Brocade Lake; time to disembark.”
At this moment, Baji stepped off the boat brimming with ambition, his every step full of assertiveness!
“Hehe~ My Talent is no weaker than theirs; even cultivating in the fields on the Spirit Miao Continent, I can reach a very high level. Eventually… everyone who has stepped on my head shall…”
“Huh? Isn’t that Baji? You’re the one behind this business, huh…”
Seeing Baji, Yang Fu was pleased, even running into an acquaintance; this called for a discount.
Baji, just off the boat and about to pay Yang Fu, felt his vision darken.
“Why is it you!”
Disaster!
Before he even had a chance to lament his poverty, he was caught on the spot!
Thinking that he would have to cultivate fields for Yang Fu… Baji shuddered.
