Yang Junshan silently put two to three hundred Magnetic Essence Stones into his storage bag, while silently thinking about it. Yang Junshan had originally thought that if he could use the Magnetic Essence Stones as a village protection array, then the consumption of Magnetic Essence Stones would not be small. The few that he had extorted from Zhangsun in Jinyu County was like a cup of water, but now that he had obtained so many of them, he wouldn't have to worry about the Magnetic Essence Stones for at least three to five years after the village protection array was successfully arranged.
Yang Junshan had just finished tidying up the Magnetic Birth Essence Stone when Song Wei placed a jade bottle on the table with a "pa" sound. He said, "These are ten Spirit Containment Pills, and are the rewards. Take them quickly."
Yang Junshan hesitated for a moment and said, "The other bounty items …"
Song Wei made a reassuring gesture and said, "The 300 Stone Spirit Valley county magistrate has already specially dispatched a group of cultivators to escort them to the Western Mountain Village. If anyone dares to have any ideas about these materials, we can definitely make it difficult for them."
The door closed behind Song Wei. Yang Junshan turned around and looked at the door, then followed Song Wei to the back hall of the magistrate court.
An old man with a head full of white hair was holding a kettle and watering the flower pots on the ground in front of the hall. When Yang Junshan arrived, under Song Wei's lead, the old man had already placed the kettle on the ground and was looking at the two of them with a smile.
He was just like an ordinary old man, with a kind smile on his face, and his gaze was as amiable as if he was looking at his own juniors. No one would think that he was a cultivator that would cause even the three tyrants of Mengyu County to tremble in fear.
When Yang Junshan saw the old man, he said: "Unfilial disciple Yang Junshan greets teacher. I wish teacher good health and eternal blessings."
The elder reached out his hand to help him. Yang Junshan felt an irresistible force slowly lift his body up, and then looked up at the elder.
The old man in front of him was none other than Chen Ji, an inner disciple of the Heaven Shaking Sect who had passed down various body forging techniques to Yang Junshan.
Chen Ji looked at Yang Junshan with a satisfied expression, "It's only been two years since we last met, and I have a good understanding of what you've experienced in the past few years. I didn't expect you to have reached such a level, which really makes me feel gratified."
Yang Junshan had a strange expression on his face. Through his conversation with Song Wei, Yang Junshan knew that his actions had never escaped his master's notice.
He even had some understanding of his own magic tools, formations, spiritual arts and divine abilities, especially since the inheritance of his magic formations and divine arts was closely related to the Heaven Shaking Sect. However, not only did Chen Ji not question or interfere in these matters, he even seemed to cover up for him, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Under the gaze of an invisible pair of eyes, Yang Junshan felt uncomfortable as if all that had happened to him was controlled by someone else. But now, he had no choice but to accept this favor, and willingly fell into the scheme of his master.
This feeling of not being in control of his fate was like a blazing fire, burning continuously in Yang Junshan's blood, burning more and more fiercely, urging him to become stronger. Even if he couldn't escape the fate of being a chess piece, and couldn't become a chess player controlling the whole situation, he would at least need to have the ability to flip the chessboard.
Now, however, at least he had to be a useful chess piece to ensure that he wouldn't be abandoned by others as an abandoned son.
I heard that my teacher had cleared his Qi to become a real person, so I should have immediately offered my congratulations. Unfortunately, at the time when I heard the news, I was at the critical point of my breakthrough, and then there were many other things that happened to me. I experienced a lot of life and death during that time, but I never had the chance to come, so I beg for forgiveness. "Yang Junshan said.
Yang Junshan paused for a moment, and then continued, "Besides, in the matter of the Xishan Village, if it weren't for teacher and Senior Song secretly helping us, my Yang Family might not have been able to survive the schemes of the Xiong and Yu Families."
Adept Chen said with a laugh, "This master here has only recently advanced to the Adept stage, and is still in a state of lingering fear. In the future, it will be extremely difficult for me to even raise my cultivation, so what's there to celebrate about it? I'm glad that it's alright, but as juniors, you guys will have great prospects in the future. The reason why I'm raising you is for the Heaven Shaking Sect, and for the future of me as well."
During this time, Chen Ji had asked Yang Junshan about his current cultivation progress. Yang Junshan naturally would not miss this opportunity to receive the guidance of a cultivator in the realms, and would answer many of the questions that he had accumulated during his cultivation — Chen had always consulted Chen Xianfeng, and Song Wei, who was at the peak of the martial arts realm, would also occasionally give pointers and discuss them.
As the three discussed, six hours passed by and the sky started to darken. Yang Junshan looked like he wasn't done yet, it was obvious that this afternoon's guidance had given him a great harvest. He felt enlightened in some difficult and obscure areas during his cultivation.
Yang Junshan had been a cultivator for two lifetimes and was considered to be one of the most experienced. However, in his previous life, he was only a Late Martial Disciple. How could he be compared to a cultivator in the Real Realm?
Even if Song Wei's cultivation was still above Yang Junshan in his previous life, all that was lacking was Yang Junshan's experience after the great change, but what Song Wei himself accepted was the strict inheritance system of the Heaven Shaking Sect.
Yang Junshan could feel that after today, he would no longer have any constraints before breaking through to the second level of the Martial Disciple Stage. All he needed was to accumulate energy step by step.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Junshan stood up and was about to leave after thanking the teacher for his guidance. Unexpectedly, Daoist Master Chen Ji suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "I heard that your father moved many of his clansmen from the Yang family in Green Stone Town in Chenyu County to the register in West Mountain Village?"
After Song Wei revealed the news that Daoist Master Chen Ji had been paying attention to him, Yang Junshan knew that these matters could not be concealed at all. The most important thing was Spiritual Master Chen's attitude, so he said, "Exactly, after the two villages merged, there were some spiritual fields left in the village. Although they are not many, they need someone to cultivate them.
On the other hand, Song Wei said angrily, "Disciple has also heard about the incident in the Green Stone Town with the Yang family, but what Martial Uncle Wang did in Chenyu County is not quite right. A good Prominent Class family, whether they are surnamed Wang or Yang, it is hard to tell."
Yang Junshan's expression changed when he heard Chen Ji, who was standing beside him, suddenly shouted in anger, "Impudent! Brother Wang is your classmate, and is someone you can talk about behind his back?"
Song Wei quickly lowered his head and said, "Master only taught me a lesson, I only felt that it wasn't worth it for my youngest junior brother's family, and now that the youngest junior brother's father, Yang Cun, has been established, it's not a bad thing."
He then said to Yang Junshan with a pleasant face, "It's hard for the officials to cut off the Yang family's affairs. As the official of Meng Yu County, I only know the village head of Xishan Village. That is the matter of Chenyu County in Green Stone Town, do you understand what I mean?"
Yang Junshan thought for a moment, nodded his head and said, "I can save myself this time. Since my family is registered in Mengyu County, they will first be people from Mengyu County. The Yang family from Xishan Village is also a family from Mengyu County."
"Building a family is not easy, and it will often take several generations of hard work. With that many things, when your Yang family becomes stronger, others will naturally get less and less. The families of Mengyu County are fighting for the living space as much as possible, so it is understandable that they are doing so for the sake of both themselves and their descendants."
"However, just like you said, Shan'er, mortals need to have a basic threshold. The Yang family of the West Mountain Village is the Yang family of Mengyu County, and Mengyu County is also the county of the Heaven Shaking Sect. Only by knowing the most basic of affiliation can one obtain the most basic recognition.
Yang Junshan nodded and said, "The Heaven Shaking Sect has been around for a long time, all the big and small forces in this Yu County are closely related to the Heaven Shaking Sect. We are not an ungrateful family."
Song Wei patted the table beside him and stood up, "Little junior brother, what you've said is right. Right now, there are people in Mengyu County who want to be the ingrate. Not only do they want to escape the control of Heaven Shaking Sect, they even want to be the king.
At this point, Song Wei said to Chen Ji, "Master, I see that the Yang family in the West Mountain Village where my youngest junior brother is staying is a loyal person. Mengyu County is only this big, and there are so many things.
There was nothing that Yang Junshan didn't understand. It was just like in his previous life, he would raise up some small families with potential, then unite to challenge and divide the inherent interests of the three great powerful families, whether they win or lose, both sides would be weakened or annihilated. This time, the Heaven Shaking Sect would be in control of the Heaven Shaking Sect, and the Heaven Shaking Sect would be able to take care of this mess without compromising the Sky Shaking Sect's strength.
Moreover, he firmly believed that the chess game that Daoist Master Chen Ji had arranged would definitely succeed. Even now, when Yang Junshan clearly knew that Daoist Master Chen Ji was scheming, he could only accept it in front of the great power of the Heaven Shaking Sect. However, all these plans needed time to verify, yet there was a force that could overturn any board of chess that he could not wait to find out.
