Chapter 158 - 157: The Ancient Immortal Clan?

Chapter 158: Chapter 157: The Ancient Immortal Clan?

The three from the Fierce Sun Dynasty all decided to return home to handle a year’s affairs before coming to formally become disciples.

The path of immortal cultivation is long, and time with family is not plentiful.

“Yang Fu, as the first-place victor, you may go to the Sect’s Immortal Clan Pavilion to register your family members, and bring them along next time.”

“Yang Fushuo, in the back mountain’s Elixir Pavilion, Deputy Pavilion Master Du is waiting for you.”

“Hmm!”

The four of them parted ways thereafter.

Before leaving, Yang Fu paused slightly and looked up at the sky, saying, “Ancestor, are you there? Could you select some elixirs and treasures suitable for my father and mother? I’m willing to use all my points for this.”

“And my points as well, Ancestor, whatever you wish to be offered this year, feel free to choose!”

Yang Genshuo was stunned for a moment and almost typed to ask them whether they hadn’t heard about the additional treasures and discounts available after unlocking Inner Sect privileges, but then withdrew his hand.

“What use is more discounts if they can’t be used to perform my filial duties in a timely manner?”

“Clearly, Yang Fu has guessed… Yang Shi won’t be coming with him to the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect.”

“This child, Yang Fushuo, truly thinks of the Ancestor in everything he does…”

A father knows his son best, and a son, his father.

The images of these two children became clearer and clearer in Yang Genshuo’s eyes.

In that moment, it felt not like playing a game called Cultivation Family Simulator but rather like interacting with two children he had raised himself…

[Manifestation].

“It warms my heart to know you have such filial piety.”

Yang Fushuo cracked a smile and said, “Ancestor, love you! I really want to see your true face just once… I will definitely reform your physical body in the future!”

Having only his soul’s power left to follow the descendants of the Yang Family, Yang Genshuo used to procure treasures for them from an old Immortal Mansion, so Yang Fushuo always wished to reform the Ancestor’s physical body.

This child was always the closest to Yang Genshuo.

“We’ll discuss the matters of the future later, when the opportunity arises…”

“Focus on your own tasks for now, I will be paying attention.”

There were too many treasures available for purchase here, and even for Yang Genshuo who could see the effects of each item, it would still take a while to carefully select.

Yang Fu headed towards the Immortal Clan Pavilion.

“The first day’s proud winner of the Immortal Path competition, Yang Fu, you’ve arrived.”

Inside, an old Taoist holding a whisk spoke.

“Junior does not dare, it was merely better luck.”

“Don’t be modest, your strength merits this title of first day’s proud winner, and your elders at home must be proud of your performance today.”

“Indeed, the elders at home will rejoice…”

The Ancestor just praised me~

“Is the Yang Family… the one that moved into the Fierce Sun Dynasty in recent years?” the old Taoist asked with a chuckle.

A shock went through Yang Fu’s heart as he looked at the old Taoist.

“May I ask who senior is?”

“Oh, I am the old cultivator processing the registration for your Immortal Clan, don’t be nervous, I am simply inquiring about the origins of your family as per the norm,” the old Taoist said.

“Oh… then why would senior mention that my family moved into the Fierce Sun Dynasty in recent years?”

The Yang Family members were tight-lipped about this matter; even the two Sects of the Fierce Sun Dynasty were unaware!

How did this old Taoist figure it out?

Yang Genshuo stopped looking at the treasures and turned his attention back to the situation at hand.

‘Could it be a cultivator from the Danai Dynasty who recognized them? That shouldn’t be… the only person who might recognize Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo’s appearance is perhaps Murong Ziyuan alone, and knowing the dangers borne by Yang Shi in his mission to exorcise demons and uphold justice, she would certainly not reveal the identities of the Yang Family members.’

Seeing this reaction, the old Taoist was sure in his heart.

“Because the Fierce Sun Dynasty… has never been home to a flourishing Yang-surnamed Immortal Clan, is that not enough evidence?” he said with a knowing look.

At first glance, your family is clearly an ancient, secluded Immortal Clan. Who knows how much older it is than the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect.

Yang Fu was taken aback again.

Of course, they wouldn’t have heard; my ancestors were annihilated, and I am the second generation of the current Yang Family, with a family history as thin as my little brother’s favorite book, “The Great British Culinary Compendium.”

“Mhm mhm…” Yang Fu did not pursue the topic further.

“Having secured the championship, according to the rules, you may bring three family members to the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect alongside you. Would the elders in your family… be willing to let clan members come?”

“Willing?”

Your line seems off! Shouldn’t you be asking how many people I want to bring over? What’s all this about willingness?

Who in the family wouldn’t want to rise to the heavens in one step?

Oh, I apologize, Brother Li Yao, if I’ve offended you.

You have no family.

“Of course… I’m willing.”

“That’s good, that’s good! Since that’s the case, let’s wait quietly for the people of the Yang Family Immortal Clan to settle in our Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect. I will arrange a top-notch Spiritual Land for your Yang Family. Although it may not be comparable to the Immortal Mansion in your home, it won’t impede cultivation.”

“Oh, good… Thank you, senior.”

“Haha~ Go now, see you in a year.”

After Yang Fushuo left, his face was full of caution.

‘What Immortal Mansion?’

‘Could he possibly see the Immortal Mansion of my great ancestor? Impossible! The great ancestor only opens the Immortal Mansion once a year for the ancestral sacrifice…’

‘And why do I feel… he seems happier than I am? It’s almost like he can’t wait for my family to arrive…’

Anyone who didn’t know better would think this old Daoist is the one in need of him!

“Strange…”

Yang Fushuo shook his head and kept the matter to himself, then went to select treasures with the great ancestor.

In the Immortal Clan Pavilion behind him, the form of the Pavilion Master gradually appeared from the air, bowing:

“Sect Leader! Such a small matter could be communicated with just a message. Why come here in person?”

The old Daoist stroked his beard.

“You don’t understand… This Yang Family is no ordinary Immortal Clan.”

“Oh? Is that so? I know all of the Immortal Clans in the Fierce Sun Dynasty. I’ve never heard of any remarkable qualities of this Yang Family, but they have Qi Fortune with two children of exceptional Talent.”

“Just Qi Fortune, is it… According to the cultivators of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Qi Fortune can also be sought through secret family methods.”

“There is such a method?”

Ephemeral wisps of cloud and mist flashed in the old Daoist’s eyes, and his voice grew ethereal:

“Legend has it that the Ancient Immortal Clans held the path to Immortality, and none outside their clans could practice Immortal Cultivation… After some unknown cataclysmic change, the Ancient Immortal Clans disappeared, and the path to Immortality and Qi Fortune became available to all.”

“However, there is a rumor… In the era of great contention, the descendants of the Ancient Immortal Clans will reappear, with the prodigies of these families restoring the glory of their Ancient Immortal Clans. Looking at the second son of the Yang Family… He seems to have the air of an Ancient Immortal Clan about him. I’m afraid he has discovered a sacred legacy within the family and rekindled the Immortal Clan Qi Fortune.”

“In the future, do not make things difficult for the Yang Family. Instead, accommodate them, build good karma. Perhaps, it can be of some use in the future.”

“Rest assured, Sect Leader, once the Yang Family members arrive, I will see to their proper settlement.”

…

Yang Fushuo arrived at the back mountain, the Elixir Pavilion.

This place, unlike the numerous buildings in the front part of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, was full of the breath of life and extremely quiet.

Yang Fushuo’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Outside the Elixir Pavilion, a female cultivator with a graceful figure had long hair cascading down to her waist, emitting a faint fragrance of orchids. Her deep and bright eyes were enchanting, a delight to behold.

Just one glance at her left a deep imprint in Yang Fushuo’s eyes as if he had seen a fairy.

At that moment, she was handling lumps of pitch-black medicinal residues, her nose slightly wrinkled as if trying to discern what made them different.

‘This female cultivator is quite attractive.’

With a slight smirk rising on the corner of his mouth, Yang Fushuo strode over and asked, “Junior Sister, are you trying to figure out why these elixirs failed to form?”

Du Yuyan nodded slightly.

“Yes, can you see the reason behind it?”

Yang Fushuo chuckled, “Then you’ve asked the right person. I’m an expert at failing in Alchemy. Different methods of failure can produce different degrees of explosive power.”

“If I’m not mistaken, you want to create a new Second Grade Elixir Recipe, but have failed multiple times, right?”

Again, Du Yuyan nodded.

“Indeed, I have been experimenting with small amounts of Spiritual Medicine, testing their components and proportions, making several adjustments, but still, I haven’t found the chance for the elixir to form…”

“Tsk, Junior Sister, this is not how you make an Elixir!”

“Oh?”

“You’re being too cautious! Boldness brings miracles! Give me the medicinal materials!”

Yang Fushuo was full of confidence, and recalling his unique Elixirs, he made Du Yuyan involuntarily believe somewhat.

With empty hands, Yang Fushuo brought forth a surge of pale blue Spiritual Fire, confidently stuffing large handfuls of Spiritual Medicine into the fire.

This peculiar method of Alchemy fascinated Du Yuyan, yet it seemed oddly familiar to her.

After a good while had passed…

Boom!

The back mountain of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect exploded.
