Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

"Amitabha, Jokhang Temple agrees!" said Master Dezhao.

"I have no objection, but I have a question!"

At this time, an old man dressed like a country farmer suddenly spoke.

Yang Zhengshan knew that this old man, Yang Jiushi, was a master of casual cultivation who lived in seclusion in Longyuan area.

The so-called casual cultivation does not mean that there are no disciples, but that there is no sect or large-scale recruitment of disciples.

Yang Jiushi did not establish a sect, but it does not mean that there is no power behind him.

He was born in Longping Yang family, and Longping Yang family is a martial arts family in Longyuan Province.

It is almost like Yang Zhengshan was born in Anning Yang family. If Yang Zhengshan did not become an official or a marquis, he could also be called a casual cultivator.

"Senior Yang, just ask directly if you have any questions! I will tell you everything I know!" Yang Zhengshan smiled gently.

The two have the same surname, maybe they were a family five hundred years ago!

"Royal worshippers, the same rank, if that's the case, then what is our salary?" Yang Jiushi laughed.

Yang Zhengshan heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Sure enough, people become wise with age, and these old guys in front of him are all wise with age. You can say that they have good and bad tempers, but you can never think that they have no brains.

People without brains can't live to such an old age in the world.

"One Sanhuang plum and one Zhenyuan pill every year!"

"If you seniors are willing to serve the court, His Majesty will have other rewards!"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned at first, and then they started to discuss.

If they were just asked to become royal worshippers, they would be somewhat reluctant in their hearts, but if there was a salary to be taken, and this salary was spiritual fruit and elixir, then the reluctance in their hearts would immediately disappear without a trace.

One Sanhuang plum and one Zhenyuan pill every year, although it is a little less, it is better than nothing!

Besides, they usually go deep into the mountains and forests all day long and can't find anything good. Now they can enjoy Sanhuangli and Zhenyuan Dan every year. In comparison, they suddenly feel that Emperor Yanping is still very generous.

In an instant, several people who were originally dissatisfied with Emperor Yanping immediately became full of goodwill towards him.

"Ahem, seniors, if anyone wants to serve the court, His Majesty will have other rewards. For example, if someone is needed to take charge of Cuixia Valley in the future, the person who takes charge can get an extra Sanhuang Li and two Zhenyuan Dan as rewards!"

"And there is no time limit. You can take charge as many years as you want. But if you don't want to take charge here, you need to report it one year in advance, so that the court has time to find other seniors to replace you!"

Yang Zhengshan changed his previous arrogance and superiority, and became amiable at this time, saying in a persuasive manner: "His Majesty intends to invite four innate warriors to take charge of Cuixia Valley. The number of places is limited, seniors, first come first served!"

Yang Jiushi heard this, his eyes lit up, "That is, as long as you take charge of Cuixia Valley, you can get two Sanhuang Li and three Zhenyuan Dan every year?"

"That's right!" Yang Zhengshan nodded.

"That counts as one for me. It just so happens that I want to find a quiet place to practice in recent years!" Yang Jiushi agreed without even thinking about it.

For innate warriors, Zhenyuan Dan is much more attractive than Sanhuangli.

Sanhuangli has the greatest effect on warriors who have not entered the innate realm, such as half-step innate or acquired warriors who are condensing innate true qi.

Zhenyuan Dan is most effective for innate warriors. It can directly improve the skills of three years, especially for warriors who have just entered the innate realm and innate warriors at the level of controlling qi, who need to accumulate innate true qi.

When Yang Jiushi heard that there were three Zhenyuan Dan a year, he agreed without thinking.

"Lord Yang, there is also an old man!" Ji Zhen is indeed a smart man.

When Yang Zhengshan saw the two of them sign up, he slapped the table and said, "Okay, now two people have signed up, Senior Yang from the Longping Yang family and Senior Ji from the Hengdao sect!"

"And that senior wants to take charge of Cuixia Valley! Only two spots are left!"

When they heard that there were only two spots left, the people who were still hesitating suddenly became anxious, and one by one they stood up and shouted, "And there is the old man!"

"Lord Yang, I am willing to take charge of Cuixia Valley!"

...

The originally weird atmosphere became even weirder at this time.

Before, everyone was aloof and innate masters, but now everyone is like an old man and an old woman grabbing free eggs early in the morning.

This description seems a bit inappropriate, but the real situation is indeed similar.

Taking charge of Cuixia Valley is actually a good job.

In the past, everyone was unwilling to stay in Sanshan Valley for two reasons. One is that the attraction of Sanhuangli is not big enough, and the other is that freedom is limited. After moving into Sanshan Valley, you have to stay in Sanshan Valley almost all your life.

But now it is different when he is in charge of Cuixia Valley. The three yellow plums plus the Zhenyuan Pill are naturally attractive, and there are no restrictions on freedom. Although he has to report one year in advance, at least he does not need to stay in Cuixia Valley for his whole life.

Let alone them, even Yang Zhengshan wants to stay in Cuixia Valley for a few years.

Three Zhenyuan Pills a year is equivalent to the innate true qi accumulated in nine years of hard practice, which is still a big difference.

Of course, the specific situation cannot be calculated in this way. One Zhenyuan Pill is equivalent to the innate true qi accumulated in three years of practice. This is true, but this is not superimposed.

As the cultivation level increases, the effect of the Zhenyuan Pill will become weaker, and the more Zhenyuan Pills you take at the same time, the weaker the effect of the Zhenyuan Pill will be.

Let's put it this way, Zhenyuan Dan is most effective for innate warriors at the entry and control level, and the effect on innate warriors at the Xuanji and Ruwei levels is much worse.

Therefore, Zhenyuan Dan is most attractive to innate warriors at the entry and control level.

Just when Yang Zhengshan was about to pick someone, Li Shouning, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly stood up and said, "Count me in!"

As soon as he spoke, everyone instantly quieted down and looked at him in unison.

Even Zhangye and Meng Po Po were no exception.

"Brother Shouning, why is this?" Zhangye asked in surprise.

Li Shouning is a few years older than Zhangye, and his cultivation is not much different from Zhangye. Logically, with their cultivation, they should not need Zhenyuan Dan and Sanhuangli very much, but Li Shouning took the initiative to ask to guard Cuixia Valley.

"The deadline is coming, and I want to fight again!" Zhang Shouning said lightly.

Zhangye heard this and sighed helplessly, then slowly sat down and stopped talking.

The deadline is coming!

The life span of an innate warrior is much longer than that of an ordinary person. The long-lived ones can even live to nearly 300 years old, such as the legendary old man Qingmu. However, there are too few examples like old man Qingmu. Most innate warriors can only live to about 150 years old, and they can't even live to 300 years old.

Zhangye is 134 years old this year, and Zhang Shouning is a few years older than him, and is now 138 years old.

At most, they can live for more than ten years.

At their age, they have no pursuits. The only thing they desire is to enter the realm of Taoism.

I can die in the evening if I hear the Tao in the morning!

Zhang Shouning is unwilling to give up and wants to explore the threshold of Taoism.

Although he is not sure whether the Zhenyuan Pill and Sanhuangli can make him improve, for now, this is the best resource he can get. Yang Zhengshan cannot understand Zhang Shouning's feelings now, but he can understand Zhang Shouning's thoughts, and it is also a good thing that Zhang Shouning is willing to sit in Cuixia Valley.

"Okay, Senior Zhang is willing to stay in Cuixia Valley, and there is only one spot left!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

The innate warriors became more anxious.

"Lord Yang, give the last spot to me!" Lu Zhongji of Xilou Sword School said.

"Old man, don't you always like to stay at home to teach your disciples? Give this spot to me. I am a lonely man, without so many worldly disturbances, and it is most suitable for me to stay in Cuixia Valley!" Wu Anchou, a casual cultivator, shouted.

Wu Anchou is a real lonely man. This old man has always adhered to the three principles of no marriage, no children, and no disciples.

He lives at the foot of Niujiao Mountain in the middle of Wanshanling, and is also known as Niujiao Old Man.

Yang Zhengshan thought for a moment and said, "Let's give the last spot to Senior Wu. Senior Wu is right. He has nothing to worry about and is the most suitable person to take charge of Cuixia Valley!"

Wu Anchou laughed loudly when he heard this, "Brother Yang, I owe you a favor today!"

"Why is he suitable? I am also suitable!" Lu Zhongji said to Yang Zhengshan with dissatisfaction.

Before Yang Zhengshan explained, Wu Anchou said, "Okay, you have so many disciples at home, are you really relieved to leave them alone!"

Lu Zhongji sighed softly when he heard this, and could only sit down helplessly.

He really didn't worry about his disciples at home.

The Xilou Sword Sect, like the Tyrant Tiger Sect, has a relatively shallow foundation.

If he didn't take care of them, he was really afraid that his disciples at home would suffer in the martial arts world.

As for the others, seeing that the last spot was given to Wu Anchou, they all gave up.

It's not that they don't want to take charge of Cuixia Valley, but that they can't compete with Wu Anchou.

Wu Anchou is also an old veteran in the martial arts world. He is now a hundred years old and very powerful. Among the innate warriors present, he can be ranked in the upper middle level.

For example, Zhang Luan, Li Zhen, etc. should be ranked below him, and An Yuxing should be about the same as him.

After confirming the four places, Yang Zhengshan coughed lightly and said, "Don't feel frustrated if you can't stay in Cuixia Valley. Even if you can't stay in Cuixia Valley, you can still get your salary."

"The royal family's salary is paid twice a year. Sanhuangli will be paid in October, and Zhenyuan Dan will be paid in March of the following year. You can go to Fengxian Hall in the imperial city with the Xiantian Order to collect it!"

"If you can't go to Kyoto to collect it at that time, it doesn't matter. Fengxian Hall will help you manage your salary. You can collect it at any time within three years of salary payment!"

"But if it exceeds three years, Fengxian Hall will think that you have had some accidents or have died, and will take back the salary."

"Do you understand, seniors?"

Yang Zhengshan asked.

"Yes, I know!"

"I understand!"

A group of Xiantian warriors responded sparsely.

Yang Zhengshan continued, "There is one more thing. Some seniors may not have received the news. If you have contacted them, please help pass it on and let them know that they should go to Fengxian Temple to collect their salaries when the time comes!"

There are 43 innate warriors on the list in Darong, including seven in the Three Valleys, nine in the nobles including Yang Zhengshan, and the remaining 27 are all martial arts warriors.

And only 12 came here today, less than half.

In fact, this is normal. Although there are 43 innate warriors on the list, there are not necessarily 43 innate warriors in Darong, and there are even fewer innate warriors who can be contacted.

The innate warriors of the eight major sects can be contacted because they have sect power.

For a lonely person like Wu Anchou, finding him is completely up to chance. It is normal for him to go out and not come back for a few months.

There are also abnormalities, not even having a home, just wandering around like a beggar, and not only wandering within Da Rong, but even wandering outside Da Rong.

After talking about the matter, Yang Zhengshan stood up and saluted everyone again and said: "Thank you all seniors for giving me face today. If you seniors go to Kyoto in the future, you can go and have a drink with me!"

"Senior An knows that junior's drinks are rare and fine wines!"

"True or false?" Wu Anhou looked at An Yuxing with some suspicion.

An Yuxing glanced at him and said, "It's good wine!"

"If you can get a compliment from Old Man An, it must be a good wine! Brother Yang, can you bring me a few jars of wine when you get back?" Wu Anchou said to Yang Zhengshan in a familiar manner.

Yang Zhengshan was about to agree, but Zhang Luan next to him interrupted and said, "Senior Wu, if you say this, this junior will say that you are not honest!"

"Brother Yang's wine is a rare medicinal wine. It not only nourishes the body, but also refreshes the mind!"

"Junior used one precious medicine in exchange for five jars of wine. Senior, you just give me nothing, and you want it for nothing!"

Yang Zhengshan was speechless for a while. He was about to agree, but Zhang Luan unexpectedly interfered!

Wu Anqiu was not angry, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang is right, I am not honest, one plant of precious medicine is five jars of wine, well, wait for me to get the precious medicine, and then exchange it with Brother Yang Drink!”

Hearing this, Ji Zhen also came forward, "Master Yang, prepare ten jars of herbal brew for me! I'll deliver the medicine to my house another day!"

He has experienced the effects of Baicao Niang, and he also wants to get more Baicao Niang from Yang Zhengshan.

But before, he used favors with Yang Zhengshan in exchange for Baicao Niang. Now that he has no favors left, he is naturally embarrassed to come and ask for them.

Now that he heard that one precious medicine can be exchanged for five jars of hundreds of herbs, he naturally couldn't miss it.

"Give me ten altars, and I will have the precious medicine delivered to your house!" Zhang Shouning also said.

He didn't know what effect Baicao Brewing had, but as long as it was useful for cultivation, he didn't want to miss it now.

Besides, it’s just two treasures, so it’s really nothing to him.

Yang Zhengshan was a little dumbfounded. Today's scene was really changeable.

There was a recruitment conference just now, and now there is a buying conference.

"Let's do this, seniors, if anyone wants Baicao Brewing, you can send someone with the treasure medicine to replace it at the junior's house. One treasure medicine and five jars of Baicao Brewing, no matter how young or old you are!"

Yang Zhengshan simply started doing business.

He had never thought of selling Baicao Niang before. After all, the value of Lingquan water could not be measured with money.

But if it is replaced by precious medicine, it seems that it is not impossible.

It just so happened that he wanted to help Xue Qiao'er and the others collect precious medicines, and he also wanted to refine elixirs in the future, which also required a large amount of precious medicines. Whether it was fresh medicines or prepared medicines, he would not suffer any loss in exchange.
