Chapter 38: Chapter 36: Low Grade Magic Artifact Set: Five Elements Spirit Bead

“I’ve got it!”

Yang Genshuo waved his fist excitedly.

“When this child is born, the Yang Family will no longer be just Yang Shi all alone.”

“Many children bring many blessings, that’s what makes an Immortal Cultivation Family.”

This was even more exciting for Yang Genshuo than Yang Shi’s current achievement of becoming a master of the Innate Realm.

“I hope it’s a child with a Spirit Root…”

Yang Genshuo looked at the Incense Fire Value, which was less than 200, and felt a bit worried.

“The annual Workshop is about to start, I have to think of a way to earn more Incense Fire Value.”

Yang Genshuo did have a good idea.

[Manifestation].

“Yang Shi, this year your ancestor will teach you a new strategy—hunger marketing.”

Time sped up once again.

[4 years 285 days, Loose Cultivators have gradually gathered in Qingshi County, Bai Heyu of the Xuan Stone Sect came alone. Yang Shi announced the second Demon Lord Competition]

[4 years 286 days, news was released that the senior who created Three Kingdoms Kill had come out of retirement and after a year of polishing, had made 14 new sets of cards. He would auction one set of finely sealed Three Kingdoms Kill cards daily, and each set would come with a limited edition Divine Card.]

As soon as the news broke out, it instantly made the Loose Cultivators drool.

The master only makes 14 sets of cards a year!

And you get a Divine Card with each set for free!

Who wouldn’t rush to grab it?

Damn, I’ll bid, bid, bid!

[4 years 300 days, the Demon Lord Competition ended, Bai Heyu’s strength surged this year, reaching the top six in total points, while Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t participate due to pregnancy.]

[Yang Shi sold 14 sets of Three Kingdoms Kill cards, earning a total of 125 Low Grade Spirit Stones.]

[Family assets surpassed 100 Low Grade Spirit Stones for the first time, Incense Fire Value +50.]

“Great! Saving money really can increase the Incense Fire Value.”

[Blessing: Spiritual Essence]

Within the Yang Family ancestral tablet, a stream of golden light shot into Jiang Xiaobai’s belly, enveloping the little life within. Jiang Xiaobai, blessed and spiritually moved, bowed slightly to the ancestral tablet.

“Xiaobai and the baby thank the ancestor for the blessing~”

[4 years 301 days, Qingshi Fang City officially opened…]

This time, after the trading began, Yang Shi didn’t immediately sell his own Spiritual Barley and Rice; he stored them all in the warehouse instead.

This year, earning Spirit Stones from selling cards, plus some contributions from the three members of the Miao Family, gave him a total of 165 Low Grade Spirit Stones in hand.

“Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill… buy 3.”

One for Yang Genshuo, Jiang Xiaobai, and Hu Zi each.

Hu Zi’s talent, “Mediocre Achiever”, had shown significant progress over the years, augmented by the Yang Family’s supply. His martial arts cultivation speed wasn’t much slower than Yang Shi’s. This year he had a chance to reach the Seventh Layer of the Body Refining Realm and could use the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill to forcefully break through to the Eighth Layer.

The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, a common First Grade Elixir, wasn’t scarce in the Workshop. Yang Shi roamed about and managed to purchase them for 54 Low Grade Spirit Stones.

“That leaves 111 Low Grade Spirit Stones.”

Yang Genshuo felt dizzy from sifting through all the items. Aside from proper Cultivation Supplies, there were a lot of miscellaneous things.

A good half of them looked like somewhat useful junk.

Yang Genshuo felt like he was sifting through trash to find gold, his hand was cramping up, and he barely managed to find a decent Magic Artifact.

Accurately speaking, it was a set of Magic Artifacts.

Following Yang Genshuo’s directions, Yang Shi arrived at a solitary booth, with no one else setting up shop nearby.

Displayed on the booth were five beads of different colors and some oddly shaped Spirit Stones.

The booth’s owner, a middle-aged man, was engrossed in carving a Low Grade Spirit Stone with a glowing Jade Carving Knife. As he kept carving lines onto the stone…

Bang!

The Low Grade Spirit Stone exploded, and Yang Shi was blown away by a forceful impact, crashing into the opposite wall and slowly sliding down.

“?”

Yang Shi grimaced in pain as he stood up, patting the dust off his body.

“I think I know why you’re the only booth here…”

He wasn’t at the center of the explosion, just knocked away by the blast wave, but that force was enough to lift half a street’s stalls without a problem.

“Hehe~ Sorry about that, I was too absorbed and didn’t notice you coming. Are you looking for something?”

The middle-aged man scratched his head. His booth shone with a flash of silver light, completely undisturbed.

“Huh? How did you fix your booth like this?”

“A simple Earth-binding Array would do,”

“Oh… so it’s the Earth-binding Array.”

Yang Shi was full of question marks in his head, what is an Earth-binding Array? He had no knowledge in this area!

Yang Genshuo, on the other hand, knew about it.

Because he had been observing this stall for a long time, the owner was a Qi Refinement second layer Array Master, probably the cultivator with the highest Cultivation level in Qingshi Fang City this year, apart from Bai Heyu.

Without saying much, Yang Shi guarded against showing weakness due to his lack of knowledge.

“How much for this bead?”

“Five Elements Spirit Bead, this is a set of five Low Grade Magic Artifacts that work together; they can be thrown at enemies for tracking attacks and can automatically return. When combined, they can activate the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array.”

“How many Spirit Stones?”

“As you can see, I’m really in need of Spirit Stones right now. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be selling these artifacts. Each Low Grade Magic Artifact would cost about 15-20 Spirit Stones. I’m selling the whole set, which can activate the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array and increase Cultivation speed, for 100 Low Grade Spirit Stones, non-negotiable.”

After finishing his speech, he took out a Low Grade Spirit Stone from his pocket and continued carving. If he didn’t know Yang Shi was a representative from the Xuan Stone Sect, he wouldn’t have offered such a price to a mortal.

Yang Shi thought for a while and then asked, “What’s this on your table? An Array?”

“Disposable Array Formation Stones, two Low Grade Spirit Stones each, any type you want.”

“If I buy this set of Five Elements Spirit Beads, would you throw in five Array Formation Stones for me?”

“Choose them yourself.”

Yang Shi spent 100 Low Grade Spirit Stones and took away the Five Elements Spirit Beads along with five disposable Array Formation Stones.

Yang Genshuo looked at the Array Master’s Character Card thoughtfully.

Talent in Arrays extremely high!

“This man is a genius…it’s a pity we don’t have the power to win his loyalty yet.”

Occasionally, some exceptionally talented individuals would emerge among the Loose Cultivators, but with the Yang Family’s current capabilities, it wasn’t enough to bring them under their wing.

“So, the development continues!”

Subsequently, there wasn’t much else worth exchanging for in the Workshop. Just as Yang Genshuo was about to let time fast-forward, his gaze drifted and he saw two masked cultivators on the street, with very strong spiritual power fluctuations.

“There are also Qi Refinement experts?”

He opened the two people’s Character Cards and was immediately startled.

“Demon Cultivators from the Blood Soul Valley!”

“Are they planning to destroy this Workshop?”

Just as Yang Genshuo was about to warn Yang Shi, the two left the Workshop and headed towards the southern part of the county.

“The southern part… the Xiang Family?”

Yang Genshuo manifested and told Yang Shi.

“Ancestor, I’ve planted informants in the tavern down there; they’ll let me know if they find anything unusual…”

Yang Shi never forgot the blood feud of the Yang Family; he was just waiting for the right moment.

The next day, news indeed came.

Last night, many carriages came out of the Xiang Family home, transporting a large number of supplies.

They were escorted by two masked individuals, one in the front and one at the back.

“Does the Xiang Family have entanglements with the Blood Soul Valley?”

This discovery made Yang Shi feel a little heavy-hearted.

Yang Genshuo instructed Yang Shi to plan carefully and not to draw the Xiang Family’s attention without absolute certainty; they were far from being a match for the Xiang Family right now.

More time was needed!

[4 years 305 days, Qingshi Fang City Workshop ended, and Loose Cultivators have left one after another in search of their own opportunities.]

[Jiang Xiaobai uses the Five Elements Spirit Beads to set up the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array and Cultivates within the Array, improving his Cultivation speed by 20% compared to usual.]

[4 years 365 days, your descendant Yang Shi successfully completes this year’s ancestral worship ceremony.]

[Incense Fire Value +10]

[You’ve received offerings from the Yang Family members’ worship: 1000 catties of Spiritual Grain, 1 Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.]

[Would you like to bestow a Blessing upon the descendants of the Yang Family?]

[Granted: Nestle Coffee Bucket*100]

Coffee was highly regarded by Loose Cultivators; this year, the old beggar specially came to ask for three buckets of coffee powder, so Yang Genshuo replenished his supply.

“So sleepy, I’ll deal with this tomorrow, off to sleep.”

Yang Genshuo fell into a deep sleep in the study, and the game’s time advanced to the sixth year.

[5 years 10 days, Hu Zi breaks through to the seventh layer of Body Refining; after taking the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, he breaks through again to the eighth layer of Body Refining. His Talent slightly improves, and the ‘Overlord’ Talent strengthens.]

[5 years 46 days, Jiang Xiaobai breaks through to the fourth layer of the Fetal Breathing Stage while within the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array.]

[5 years 180 days, Jiang Xiaobai, who is using the All Things Growth Skill in the Spirit Field of the Tiger and Leopard Forest, suddenly feels a stomachache…]
