Chapter 103 - 102: Ancestral Worship from All Sides

Chapter 103: Chapter 102: Ancestral Worship from All Sides

“Hahaha~ come on, let’s have a couple of jars together first.”

Hu Zi had arrived at the Fierce Sun Dynasty six months ago and had already started to operate the Yang Family’s new estate.

After drinking the local’s favorite chilled wine, they started discussing serious matters.

“How are things going here? Is everything going smoothly?”

“Yes! Very smoothly. The people here in the Fierce Sun Dynasty are quite generous. It didn’t take much to procure a large estate. I got it from a Fire Cultivator. There are five acres of Spirit Fields on this estate, and I paid 200 Spirit Stones for them.”

“Yes! Good! Our ancestor will definitely be pleased to hear this.”

The Yang family knew that their ancestor’s favorite thing was Spirit Fields.

He had a special obsession with farming.

“The only issue is… the Spirit Fields in the Fierce Sun Dynasty are not quite the same as those in the Danai Dynasty; our hybrid Spirit Grain seeds won’t grow here.”

“Oh? Is that so? Take me to have a look.”

“Let’s go.”

Hu Zi took Yang Shi to the estate near the city, which featured quite extensive buildings, looking very much like a grand lord’s residence.

“Not bad, the house is large enough for the many members of our family.”

Yang Shi was very satisfied.

Behind the large house was a garden surrounded by a wooden fence, containing five acres of reddish-brown land.

The Spirit Grain seeds inside had lost their moisture and had dried out.

“Brother Shi, I use Fu’er’s Spirit Rain Talisman daily to water the land, but the seeds still failed to survive…”

“Hmm, it might be a case of the soil not being suitable?”

As a mere Martial Cultivator, Yang Shi didn’t know much about Spirit Fields.

At this moment, Yang Genshuo’s gaze happened to fall on Yang Shi’s side. The characteristics of these lands were slightly different from those in the Danai Dynasty; they had a faint red glow flickering on them.

[Fire Spirit Field]

[Spiritual Energy Concentration: 4]

[Suitable for planting Fire Attribute Spirit Seeds, Fire Attribute plants grow faster.]

“It’s not a case of soil unsuitability, but a mismatch in Five Elements.”

The land in the Danai Dynasty was non-attributive, so anything could be planted there.

However, along the way here in the Fierce Sun Dynasty, most of the Spirit Fields he observed were these [Fire Spirit Fields], and the usual Spirit Wheat and Spirit Rice seeds used by the Yang Family were of Wood Attribute.

“Wood fuels fire; these seeds can only work as nutrients for the Fire Spirit Field, nothing will actually grow.”

[Manifestation]

“You should get some Fire Attribute Spirit Seeds to plant.”

“But it’s a pity we can’t plant our high-yielding Spirit Rice and Spirit Wheat, isn’t it?”

“No worries.”

A few days later, Yang Shi and Hu Zi bought some local Spirit Food seeds to plant and managed to irrigate the land with two Spirit Rain Talismans.

“Fu’er’s talismans are really useful… Otherwise, the two of us Martial Cultivators would be in a big headache.”

“Indeed, but it feels like… something is missing.” Hu Zi said while looking at the quiet estate.

“Hmm?”

The estate was all set. Hu Zi had started a board game tea house here, becoming the second-generation Yang family boss, thus earning a status in the city of the Red Sun. The Yang family could move over anytime in the future.

As for the Fire Spirit Field and Fire Spirit seeds… Yang Genshuo didn’t rush to pull Taoist priests to create new hybrid gene varieties, because the Spirit Seed of the Fire Spirit Field was a type of millet, but it wasn’t quite the same as the ones on Earth, and not as similar to Spirit Rice and Spirit Wheat, making it less manageable.

Moreover, in his view, the overall climate of the Fierce Sun Dynasty was less suitable for farming compared to the climate-friendly Danai Dynasty, so studying new varieties here may not be as beneficial as continuing to improve the second-generation Spirit Rice and Spirit Wheat.

According to the Taoist priest, there was still significant room for improvement in the current yield, and he would also be playing more aggressive trials moving forward.

“Hu Zi, any news on the Earth and Gold Attribute Earth Level Innate Spiritual Energy you were asked to look into?”

“There is a secret realm called Molten Lava Soil Mound, believed to be the mausoleum of a Foundation Establishment Great Power, a place of Earth Attribute Gathering Spirits, existing for at least a few hundred years. Cultivators of the Fierce Sun Dynasty conjecture that there must be high-quality Innate Earth Spiritual Energy inside.”

“Where is it?”

“The secret realm lies deep underground and drifts with the flow of magma inside the volcano. Its exact emergence is unpredictable, which is why the cultivators of the Fierce Sun Dynasty have not located it yet; otherwise, the high-quality Earth Level Innate Spiritual Energy would have been taken away by the great powers of those two major sects long ago.”

“Indeed…”

Yang Shi nodded. In any dynasty, Earth Level Innate Spiritual Energy was an extremely rare existence.

Entering the Qi Refinement Realm with this energy naturally made one stronger than other cultivators, and it would accompany the cultivator for a lifetime.

Yang Fushuo’s talent was just above average, but because of the Heavenly Level Innate Fire Spiritual Energy bestowed by the ancestors, he was eagerly sought after by several elders of the Dan Fire Sect to become their disciple.

“No matter what, I must let Fu’er enter the Qi Refinement Realm with five Earth Level Innate Spiritual Energies. I will use my Ground Drilling Divine Power to search for them.”

Yang Shi spoke with a firm and decisive tone.

Yang Fu was steady in character, with astonishing talent. To be the next Family Head of the Yang Family, he must be strong enough!

When Yang Shi said this, a gleam of light flashed across him, and his luck value quietly increased by 30 points.

Yang Genshuo supported this as well.

“And it’s also the perfect reason for Yang Shi to go to the Fierce Sun Dynasty and seek out Fire Attribute Demon Beasts, which is the crucial final link for his perfect Five Elements Resistance.”

Over the years, Yang Shi had absorbed multiple types of thick-skinned Demon Beasts with Five Elements Attribute, gaining four talents.

[Junior Water Absorption], [Junior Wood Absorption], [Junior Earth Absorption], [Junior Gold Absorption].

Together with his previous talent [Antitoxin].

He now had some resistance to the Four Elements Spiritual Power and could absorb a portion of the spiritual power attacks for his own use.

However, Fire Demon Beasts were scarce in the Devil Wind Forest; he had not managed to obtain Fire Absorption.

The Fierce Sun Dynasty was exactly a paradise for Fire Cultivation and Fire Demon Beasts.

“Then I will go search in the Molten Lava Soil Mound.”

“Also, Hu Zi, you’re not getting any younger. It’s time to find a wife and marry. Don’t break off the incense, and it’d be best to find a cultivator with a Spirit Root.”

Hu Zi’s face turned red upon hearing this, “How could I be worthy of a cultivator… Would they even take a liking to me?”

“Hu Zi, remember, being a part of the Yang Family, even ordinary cultivators with Five Spirit Roots should feel honored to reach up to you.”

Yang Shi patted Hu Zi’s shoulder and flew away on a giant winged bat.

After thinking over it for a while, Hu Zi felt that Yang Shi made sense.

“Right, ordinary people without Spirit Roots aren’t even fit to join our Yang Family.”

“Except Sister Zihan!”

Liu Wuheng had also taught Hu Zi some swordsmanship, and he usually addressed Liu Zihan as senior sister.

After being enlightened by Yang Shi, Hu Zi’s mindset vastly changed, feeling the world had broadened before him.

…

A year had passed by the time Yang Shi was done searching.

The time for the Yang Family’s annual ancestral worship arrived, but he had not yet found it.

[It’s time for the annual ancestral worship again.]

[Your descendants Yang Shi, Yang Fu, Yang Fushuo, Yang Fuqing are conducting the ancestral worship rituals in four different places.]

[Incense Fire Value +40]

[You have received Yang Shi’s offering: one Fire Breathing Chick.]

[You have received Yang Fu’s offerings: 30 Fire Shield Talismans, 30 Improved Fire Extinguishing Talismans, two jars of First Grade Spiritual Wine Jade Dew Clear Spring.]

[You have received Yang Fushuo’s offerings: 21 Fire Quenching Pills, 21 Blazing Body Strengthening Pills, one special Gathering Fire Pill.]

[You have received Yang Fuqing’s offerings: 6000 pounds of Spirit Wheat, several Spirit Fruits, various Spirit Meats.]

[Do you wish to bestow blessings upon the Yang Family’s descendants?]

This year’s ancestral worship line-up was quite luxurious, making Yang Genshuo exclaim with delight.

“Is this the pleasure of having many descendants? It’s so thrilling!”

Thanks to the new map opened up by the Yang Family this year, Yang Genshuo also got to enjoy some of it.

All these wonderful items left Yang Genshuo very excited to open and taste each one.

Especially his favorite part, eating pills!

“But before that… let’s distribute the blessings needed by the Yang Family people.”
