It had to be known that at that time, even if the entire Mengyu County bought the seed at three times the price, the fact that the Young Master Yang could sell it at two times the market price was already considered a kind price. For this, the guard of the Wasteland Town, Meng Shan, had specially come to the Western Mountain Village to express his gratitude, while the villages under the jurisdiction of the Wasteland Town owed the entire Western Mountain Village a huge favor.
But even so, Yang Junshan still made a huge profit. However, when Yang Junshan sold these spirit seeds, he didn't set his sights on the jade coins, and instead bartered with many villages in exchange for some spirit materials that were unique to these villages.
Currently, the entire Western Mountain Village placed the construction of a village protection array as the main event. Especially since the late spring snowstorm would not have too serious of an impact on the harvest of this year's spirit farmland, West Mountain Village's enthusiasm for building a village protection formation was growing.
At the same time, under Yang Junshan's instructions, Han Xiusheng and Chu Chuang, who had also made a huge fortune in the Blue Stone Town of the Chenyu County, quietly exchanged the jade coins in their hands for all kinds of spirit materials that they urgently needed. After summarizing in the Green Stone Town, the caravan under the responsibility of An Xia returned to the Western Mountain Village in a steady stream.
With an adequate supply of spirit materials and the support of the entire village, under the leadership of Yang Junshan, the village protection formation in the Western Mountain Village had progressed by a few pieces. The magnetic essence stones that he was worried about the most, the last time he visited Chen Ji, the bag of magnetic essence stones that his teacher had given him, made him feel at ease.
Although the Magnetic Essence Stone wasn't as precious as the Wutu Earth Essence Stone, it was still a rare spiritual ingredient. Furthermore, Yang Junshan had no magnetic ore to support him, so he had to lay down the foundation of the Magnetic Essence Stone, and once the village protection array was successfully set up, it would take at least dozens of Magnetic Essence Stones to lay the foundation.
Therefore, even if the Western Mountain Village did not encounter any major battles like attacking the village over a year, it would still require at least dozens of crystals. If they were to encounter a big battle, it was possible that they would lose more than half of the several hundred Magnetic Essence Stones in their possession in one battle.
If only he could move that vein from Jinyu County's Primary Magnetic Mountain over here. Otherwise, he would have to buy Magnetic Essence Stones every year from Jinyu County. It would consume a huge amount of energy over time!
However, the magnetic ore deposit was originally the basis of the Zhangsun family. Although the Zhangsun family had vanished into thin air, it was now under the control of the Heaven Shaking Sect, and was one of the most important mines in Jinyu County. Furthermore, it was also in the area that Zhu Zhenren was concerned about, so stealing a vein from under the noses of a Zhenqi stage cultivator was as difficult as pulling a tooth out of a tiger.
After the completion of the spring broadcast, the villagers of the West Mountain became more and more enthusiastic about the village protection array. This was because after Yang Junshan sold the purchased spiritual seeds to them for a low price, he also told them that the village protection array could adjust the climate in a small area. That was to say, Yang Junshan purposely used the array to extend the maturity of these seeds for another ten days after the fall when the weather turned cold.
The prolongation of the growing period often meant an increase in the yield, and generally, the later cultivation of the spiritual farmland in late March could barely keep up with the time it took to sow the Spirit Valley; however, to sow the late rice, even if it was produced by magic, it would take ten days at night, so it was still a bit late, but if the village protection formation could be completed this year, these unnecessary reductions in yield could be avoided.
While Yang Junshan was distributing the later seeds in Wang Village, he tried his best to dilute the later rice spirit seed to the minimum so that most of the farmers had a portion of the later rice seed in their hands.
Of course, because the Yang family had listened to Yang Junshan's warning to raise the seedlings ahead of time, they did not delay the planting of the seedlings in late March. Of course, because the Yang family had listened to Yang Junshan's warning to raise the seedlings ahead of time, they did not delay the planting of the seedlings in late March, and did not delay the farming.
While everything was progressing smoothly, he received a depressing news when he entered the Yang Junshan: Yang Qingniu had failed in his attempt to break through to Martial Master Stage!
Not only did he fail, but because he was too anxious to hurt his internal organs during the final breakthrough, he almost lost all hope of opening his Dantian in the future. Even so, without a year of rest, Yang Qingniu would never be able to recover to the peak of the Mortal Realm.
Although Yang Junshan had some regrets, he still managed to quickly raise a batch of cultivation resources. However, according to Yang Tian's previous arrangements, he began to support Yang Tiezhu in breaking through the bottleneck of the Martial Disciple Stage.
However, Yang Junshan hesitated for a moment before refusing, because although Yang Qingniu was injured internally, he had already used the elixir that Yang Tian had prepared earlier to stabilize his injuries. As long as he didn't act against others, he would be no different from a normal person, and as long as he didn't act against others, then he would be more like a secret to his own people when he constructed the village protection array, which had nothing to do with his cultivation, so Yang Qingniu could still take over most of Yang Tieli's tasks.
Another reason was that just a day ago, he received an invitation to a feast to celebrate a newly advanced Martial Disciple in Xishan Village.
After Shi Jiu Tong's son, Shi Jingxuan, became a Martial Disciple in the former Stone Village of the Shi Family, he issued an invitation to his guests to come and celebrate. As the son of the village's chief, one of the most influential Martial Disciples in the village, Yang Junshan was naturally among the guests.
If it were in the past, Yang Tian would have ignored Yang Junshan's status as a junior. But now, Yang Tian had just started cultivating in seclusion, and Shi Jingxuan was only a few years older than him, so he could be considered of the same generation. Not to mention, every advanced Martial Disciple would become the future protector of the Western Mountain Village.
However, from what Yang Junshan had heard, this young master Shi was not only inviting guests from Xishan Village …
The house of the Shi family was familiar to Yang Junshan. However, at this time, he could only pretend that he didn't know where they were going. A housekeeper led them to the back of the house.
The Shi family now had two Martial Disciples, which greatly surpassed the Xu family to become the number one clan of the Xishan village. Therefore, many villagers came to congratulate them, and the Shi family also opened the front gate for a large banquet in the front yard to welcome the guests. However, the real place to invite Martial Disciples was at the back hall of the Shi family.
When Yang Junshan arrived, other than Yang Tian Gang, who had always been in seclusion, Wu Shuo, who had a high status, and Han Xiumei, who Yang Junshan had decided not to participate in this banquet, and An Xia, who had gone to Chenyu County with a caravan, the rest of the Martial Disciples had all arrived.
Other than Xu Sanniang and the other Martial Disciples in the Western Mountain Village, there were three other unfamiliar cultivators in the back hall. One of them was around the same age as Shi Nan, and Shi Nan seemed to be rather familiar with him.
The other two people were quite young and were chatting and joking with a twenty-something year old youth. This youth was slightly fat, but his figure was not small and was somewhat similar to Shi Jiu Tong. He was the son of Shi Jiu Tong, the main character of the Martial Disciple Banquet, Shi Jingxuan.
When Shi Jingxuan saw Yang Junshan walk in, his eyes flashed. The two men beside him also noticed the change in his body. They stopped talking and turned to look at Yang Junshan.
"Brother Shi is overjoyed. The Xishan Village has gained another Martial Disciple. Congratulations!"
Yang Junshan was still far away, but he had already clasped his hands in celebration. Advancing to the Martial Disciple Stage was considered a big joy for Western Mountain Village, according to etiquette, no one would enter the village without a loud voice.
Shi Jingxuan nodded to the two men beside him. They seemed to have a tacit understanding in their eyes. Shi Jingxuan smiled at Yang Junshan and said, "Brother Yang, I'm a lackey in front of you. How could I be praised like this? You're too kind, too kind!"
Yang Junshan could see that the aura around him was steady. Apparently, he had passed the unstable stage of the initial Martial Disciple realm. However, when he stepped forward, a hidden force suddenly surged out from around him and struck towards Yang Junshan.
Yang Junshan kept his composure and kept walking forward. That hidden force took advantage of the impact, and suddenly crashed into a huge mountain. That tranquil and calm aura broke that hidden force into pieces, and he lost his spirit and retreated.
At this moment, one of the two cultivators that Shi Jingxuan was talking to let out a groan. Yang Junshan raised his head to look over, but the man quickly avoided his gaze. A hint of fear flashed through his eyes.
Shi Jingxuan, who was standing in front of Yang Junshan, was waiting to see Yang Junshan make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect that the person standing behind him would turn ashen. His face paled immediately, but he still reached out his hand to invite Yang Junshan in, "Brother Yang, please!"
Yang Junshan took out a small box from his sleeve and said with a smile, "No rush, brother Yang has advanced to Martial Disciple. My substitute father is here to congratulate you on this small matter."
Shi Jingxuan was about to be polite when he heard a strange voice behind him, "Since you know your 'small gift', how can you bring it out to make a disgrace out of yourself? It's not like Brother Shi can't afford to keep a meal in his house just because you brought a mouth for free!"
Yang Junshan looked at the unnatural Shi Jingxuan and asked, "Who is this?"

He was late and had been adjusting for the past two days. Since Sleeping Autumn had already decided to become a full-time author, how could he walk the same path as he did every day? Wouldn't that mean he didn't even have enough money to earn milk powder?
