Yang Guanfeng returned home to the forbidden area, where Lingqing and Lingrui had just completed a round of training.

“Elder, that spirit liquid…”

“Of course, it has been delivered. What, do you not trust the Elder’s abilities?” Yang Guanfeng pretended to be angry.

“Ah, no, no, Lingrui wouldn’t dare."

“Pfft…"

Yang Lingrui quickly waved his hand, and Yang Lingqing found it funny, saying, “Alright, Elder is just teasing you.”

After their conversation, they talked about Yang Lingqing’s arrangements for the day.

The various clans on the northern bank couldn’t contain their excitement after receiving the news and began to ask around for information.

In their eyes, reaching that small cliff would mean entering the Immortal Gate, and they could become like the masters of the Yang Family, soaring through the skies and vanquishing demons!

“The clans on the northern bank are very cooperative. They have already reported the number of participants.”

Yang Lingqing handed a list to Yang Guanfeng, which included a total of fifty-five people.

After looking it over, Yang Guanfeng said, “Fifty-five individuals. I wonder if we can find a talented one among them.”

“Qingjie, is it really that hard to find talented children? In our generation, there are only a bit more than ten of us, and three have already emerged.”

Yang Lingrui asked quietly from the side.

“It’s not just difficult,” Yang Lingqing shook her head and explained, “Our family is different from ordinary families. Our ancestors included a powerful cultivator from the Spirit Communication Realm, which gives us a blood inheritance.”

“But even so, look at our father’s generation; only the Elder came out from it. For us to have three is an extraordinary stroke of luck.”

“In common families, the proportion of those with cultivation talent is probably less than one in ten thousand.”

“Is it really that rare!”

Yang Lingrui was quite surprised, “So, for these fifty-five children, it’s really hard to hope for one!”

“It’s fine. With the three of you, we can handle it for now. If we can get another capable outsider cultivator, that’s great, but if not, there’s no need to force it. Once the clans on the northern bank stabilize and prosper for a few years, we will eventually produce some talented ones.”

Yang Guanfeng put away the list and said, “You all don’t need to worry about this. I will take care of it. Just focus on your training.”

“Yes, Elder.”

When Lingrui and Lingqing returned to the ancestral hall to train again, Chen Yang’s consciousness gradually became clearer.

“Why was I so fuzzy-headed and sleepy for so long this time?”

As he gathered spiritual energy for the two of them, he started to reflect.

Ever since the blood sacrifice to the spirits, he had become very easily drowsy, as if he had returned to the early years after his crossing.

However, unlike back then when he would fall into a deep sleep, now Chen Yang could leave a layer of consciousness active even while asleep, allowing him to forcibly wake himself during emergencies.

“Hmm, my consciousness has indeed become a bit more solid.”

This state of deep sleep was not without its benefits. After waking for the first time, Chen Yang noticed subtle changes in his consciousness.

If previously his awareness was merely “perception,” through observation and feeling to understand and know things, now he could gradually “gauge” things by touch.

“Just right, the two little ones are here; let’s test you out.”

Thinking this, Chen Yang released his consciousness to probe the two individuals.

“Hmm?”

“What is that?”

As soon as his consciousness touched them, they immediately reacted.

“Oh? So easily discovered.”

It was Chen Yang’s first time using this method, and he was somewhat surprised.

“It seems this approach shouldn’t be used casually. Even Lingrui and Lingqing, two young cultivators in the early-stage Gathering Qi, can sense it, let alone those with higher cultivation levels.”

His sudden intrusion startled the two kids, and they quickly got up to patrol the forbidden area.

“No one here.”

“Neither is there anyone over here. Where did that feeling of being observed come from?”

Returning to the ancestral hall, they were puzzled when a thought suddenly entered their minds.

“What is this?”

“It’s the Spirit Stone Immortal!”

They immediately looked at Chen Yang and saw him glowing faintly with each flicker.

“The Immortal Master wants to investigate us.”

“Quick, sit properly!”

Yang Lingrui and Yang Lingqing quickly settled into their positions, and Chen Yang extended his consciousness again.

This time they didn’t resist and opened their minds to let Chen Yang explore.

“How marvelous!”

Chen Yang marveled while “feeling” their Qi.

Previously, he saw most people determine strength through fluctuations of spiritual energy, but now he could penetrate the surface and reach the essence.

He clearly saw every part of the Qi meridians within the two kids, the shape of the Qi Palace, their spiritual power reserves, and even where the flow of spiritual energy faced obstacles.

After some exploration, he could intuitively tell that Yang Lingrui had extraordinary talent.

His twelve Qi meridians were broad, whole, and evenly thick, with smooth and natural connections. More importantly, this child’s Qi Palace was especially large, able to store more spiritual power than the average cultivator.

In contrast, Yang Lingqing’s situation was slightly weaker, and during Chen Yang’s examination, he actually discovered an obstruction in her Qi meridian.

This obstruction was located on the left side of Yang Lingqing’s shoulder and appeared narrow, as if something had pressed against it.

With a mindset of giving it a try, Chen Yang mobilized his own spiritual power, intending to help Yang Lingqing repair her Qi meridian.

“Hiss—”

As his spiritual power reached the Qi meridian, Yang Lingqing felt a piercing pain in her shoulder.

But out of trust in Chen Yang, she gritted her teeth and endured the pain.

Chen Yang carefully controlled his spiritual power, gradually expanding the Qi meridian.

After about an incense stick’s burning time, Chen Yang withdrew his consciousness and retracted his spiritual power.

“Ha… ha…”

Yang Lingqing started to breathe heavily, as that experience had been quite difficult.

“Qingjie, are you alright? How do you feel?”

Knowing this was the work of the Spirit Stone Immortal, Yang Lingrui didn’t ask too much earlier.

“I’m fine, just a bit sore.”

Saying this, Yang Lingqing stood up and rubbed her left shoulder.

Once she rubbed it, she realized something was different.

“When I was young, my left shoulder was injured by a wooden stake. Although it healed later, it still affected my Qi flow. Now it feels better?”

To verify her guess, Yang Lingqing immediately entered a meditative state, allowing spiritual energy to flow through her body. When it reached her left shoulder, it indeed felt smoother than before!

She shared this with Yang Lingrui, and they were both excited. They quickly sought out Yang Guanfeng and Old Yu.

At first, the two were skeptical, but after inspecting Yang Lingqing’s Qi meridian, they confirmed that the damage had indeed been somewhat repaired.

Yang Guanfeng and Old Yu exchanged looks, both noting the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

They had previously discovered the injury on Yang Lingqing but were helpless as they had no knowledge of medical techniques.

The spirit stone actually possesses such miraculous methods!

“Master, we must properly thank the Immortal Master.”

“Yes, follow me!”

The four returned to the ancestral hall, where Yang Guanfeng led them in sincerely thanking Chen Yang.

Helping Yang Lingqing repair her Qi meridian was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but after seeing its effectiveness, Chen Yang took it seriously and consumed quite a bit of his own spiritual power throughout the process.

Now seeing the results, he sent a thought to Yang Lingqing, who, after a moment of confusion, understood his meaning.

“The two Elders, the Spirit Stone Immortal transmitted that this method requires me to rest for a month after each use. My damaged Qi meridian needs four more sessions to fully recover, but this method is highly draining. Each application requires both Elders to personally nurture for ten days,” Yang Lingqing said.

“Alright! No problem at all!”

“The Immortal Master has worked hard; the Yang Family is immensely grateful!”
