Chapter 74 - 73: The Wonderful Use of Ancestor Worship Ceremony

Chapter 74: Chapter 73: The Wonderful Use of Ancestor Worship Ceremony

“Looks like it’s time for this year’s ancestral tribute. Let’s see if both Yang Fushuo and Yang Shi can carry out the ceremony together…”

“Right, Yang Shi just arrived in Xuanbao Town. He can pick out some quality elixirs for me to try.”

“First of all, exclude Wu Wukai’s elixirs.”

He certainly didn’t want to turn into a hairy orangutan for a month!

There wasn’t much spiritual energy in his body to be transformed anyway.

Just buy some proper elixirs.

Yang Genshuo felt that the happiest part of playing this game was eating pills.

Missing a day made him feel uncomfortable.

The past few days, he had consumed all kinds of vitality supplements, feeling full of energy!

As strong as a bull.

Walking down the street, he almost wanted to headbutt the utility poles.

However, this also led to an awkward issue. Every time Lin Yue came to cook, his jeans twisting that round backside towards him made it particularly embarrassing.

Causing Yang Genshuo to eat always hunched over recently.

No choice, he was too fired up.

Last time he went to the United States, he taught a few burly men a lesson, giving Yang Genshuo a rudimentary understanding of his own body capabilities.

“In terms of physical ability, I am much stronger now than a 300-pound boxer, probably close to the peak of human potential,” he thought.

“Second Grade Immortal Pills are fierce… one sees immediate effects.”

“But Xuan Stone Sect doesn’t specialize in Body Refinement; they pursue the path of magic. Only Wu Wukai, the peculiar alchemist, has Body Refinement elixirs…”

Yang Shi had already checked the Elixir Medicine Room but indeed found no Martial Cultivator elixirs.

However, there was one First Grade Elixir that could be of some use.

[Life Extension Pill]

[First Grade Elixir]

[After ingestion, it can enhance physique and extend lifespan by 5 years, can only be consumed once in a lifetime.]

Elixirs that extend life by 5 years were sold for 50 Low Grade Spirit Stones, which Yang Genshuo thought was quite worth it.

For Cultivators, even five years of lifespan is fiercely contested, so despite only the first one being useful, the price has remained high and is more than twice as expensive as the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.

“Since there’s temporarily no elixir that I can use, why not buy two of these for my parents?”

Upon reaching 30, Yang Genshuo felt even more the impermanence of time; five years could accomplish a lot.

His goal was to achieve immortality, but even geniuses like Bai Heyu would die… whether Yang Family could reach greater heights in that dangerous world of Yang Shi depended on some amount of Qi Fortune.

So, encountering such life-extending medicine, he decided to buy first whenever possible.

Before showing himself to Yang Shi, Yang Genshuo had a thought.

“5 years of lifespan… How much would someone be willing to spend to buy?”

Upon reflection, Yang Genshuo told Yang Shi to buy four [Life Extension Pills].

He only used 200 Spirit Stones, leaving the rest for Yang Family’s development.

“I’ll keep two[Life Extension Pills].. might be useful.”

With this year’s offerings arranged, Yang Shi spent his days in Xuanbao Town, observing and listening, and also consulting other Cultivators.

There were too many treasures here!

He needed to choose carefully.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the ancestral tribute.

Yang Shi returned to his courtyard as an Outer Disciple, set up the ancestral spiritual position, and began the ritual.

Meanwhile, Yang Fushuo and Jiang Xiaobai were also ready with the most important annual tribute: 3300 pounds of Spiritual Grain.

Thanks to Hash practicing the Xuan Stone Energy Attraction Skill and mastering the Fertile Soil Skill, which he applied daily to enrich the Spirit Field, the Yang Family’s Spirit Field’s yield had increased by 10%.

Jiang Xiaobai also knew this Spell, but she focused on the All Things Growth Skill and Spiritual Rain Skill and had no energy left to enrich the soil.

This additional 300 pounds of Spiritual Grain could be made into 1500 Grain Avoidance Cakes, earning an extra 300 Spirit Stones.

Hash had become the most economically beneficial among the slaves; his cultivation was not in vain.

Lately, Hash rarely got beaten, and some of his duties were delegated to him to manage the Spirit Fields so he could continue studying martial arts.

Hu Zi felt a critical moment approaching, frequently seeking out Demon Beasts to fight, returning every day battered and bruised…

At this moment, both places performed the ancestral ceremony and presented their offerings.

[Your descendant Yang Shi has successfully completed this year’s ancestral tribute.]

[Incense Fire Value +10]

[You received the offerings from Yang Shi’s ceremony: 4 Life Extension Pills.]

[Your descendant Yang Fu successfully completed this year’s Ancestor Worship Ceremony]

[Incense Fire Value +10]

[You have received the offerings from Yang Fu’s worship: 3300 jin of Spiritual Grain, a basket of Spirit Fruits, and a Wooden Pattern Rabbit (deceased).]

[Would you like to bestow rewards upon the Yang descendants?]

“Absolutely!”

“Added 20 Incense Fire Values, not bad, not bad!”

“Next year, let Yang Fushuo also participate in the ancestor worship and mooch some Incense Fire Value.”

Yang Genshuo can now bestow two rewards, one for each, Yang Shi and Yang Fu.

He granted Yang Shi the 15,000 Grain Avoidance Cakes he had prepared earlier but didn’t have anything good for Yang Fu.

He was about to randomly pick a serious book for Yang Fu to read.

Suddenly, he eyed the four jade bottles on his desk containing “Life Extension Pills” and had a flash of inspiration.

“Can I actually pass on the offerings Yang Shi made to me as rewards to Yang Fu?”

He took out one bottle and tried to bestow it.

Then, a bottle of elixir appeared in front of Yang Fu.

“Thank you, great ancestor, for this reward,” Yang Fu said with a serious little face, respectfully bowing his head.

“Hiss~ Can it really work like this?”

This opened up new possibilities for Yang Genshuo!

The people from two places in the Yang Family could now exchange resources through him during the ancestor worship!

That meant… Yang Shi could essentially send all the items he wanted to bring back to the Yang Family through his offerings, and then Yang Genshuo could deliver them all directly to Yang Fu.

“This is so convenient! Since Yang Shi isn’t a Cultivator, he can’t use a Storage Ring, and carrying too many goods on the road isn’t easy. With no crime in being a humble man, but a crime to carry jade, it could also attract some unwanted trouble.”

“And, Yang Fu has made quite a few First Grade Talismans, which could timely replenish his dad’s arsenal.”

“Two-way traffic!”

This time, acting as a go-between during the ancestor worship, he made things really simple.

“Alright, alright, from now on, it’s settled! Yang Shi can freely gallivant outside without worries.”

This ancestor worship proved quite fruitful as Hu Zi even went out of his way to gift the great ancestor a Seventh Layer Fetal Breathing Spirit Beast: a Wooden Pattern Rabbit.

The rabbit, as big as a dog, had tender meat and was rich in Spiritual Energy, a unique delicacy from the Devil Wind Forest.

“Everything’s going well today, just right for a little food and drink, let’s have a small party.”

Such a large piece of spirit meat should not go to waste.

Yang Genshuo directly invited people.

“Lin Yue, tell Auntie you’ll be home late today, you’re working overtime.”

“Priest, come over for dinner at my place tonight, what would you like to eat? Can it possibly be bad? Got roast chicken or not? Who eats that stuff nowadays… Hmm? Something’s off with you!”

“Meng Qi, I didn’t get to treat you to a meal last time. Are you free to come to my place today? Alright, alright, I’ll wait for you.”

Xu Mengqi had been busy back and forth because of his Grain Avoidance Cakes, and last time he even tricked her into a messy hotpot meal. It was time to formally treat her to dinner, considering they were old classmates, and she knows the Priest too.

Yang Genshuo thought for a moment and then made another call.

“Xiaozhi, still at Shimen? Come over to my place tonight for a gathering, okay?”

Guo Xiaozhi, Yang Genshuo’s childhood friend and business partner, had always worked in his board game shop until it closed, serving both as a Dungeon Master and a receptionist, and sometimes even cleaning up when he was free.

Basically, he had worked tirelessly, but due to poor business management, he hadn’t made much money.

Yang Genshuo felt he had failed, and was quite sorry to this good brother… They hadn’t been in touch for a while.

“No problem, Shuo bro! Got a new idea? Count me in!”

Guo Xiaozhi agreed very eagerly.

After arranging all the people for the gathering, Yang Genshuo dialed an old number.

“Hey, my old buddy, the party setup, still the same place, five people, oh… and set up a large revolving barbecue grill and barbecue chef too!”

Professionals handle professional matters.

This was a profound lesson Guo Xiaozhi had once taught Yang Genshuo, and he still remembered it to this day.

He said… time is always the most precious thing in this world.

And spending money, ultimately, is buying other people’s time, to serve oneself.

To liberate oneself from the complex processes and directly enjoy the ultimate pleasure of success.

At that moment, Yang Genshuo thought Guo Xiaozhi was like a freakin’ saint!

Police officer: “Hmm, continue, I’m listening… This reason for soliciting prostitution is certainly a first for me.”

Then he paid the fine and picked up the saintly Guo Xiaozhi from the police station.
