C865 poplar
As the Yang Family's disciple with the highest cultivation base, Daoist Master Zhou Yi was undoubtedly very grateful to the Yang Family!
For the past few years, he had been guarding Hu Yao County, stabilizing the Yang Family. Now, the Yang Family had extended their influence to every aspect of Hu Yao County. It could be said that Hu Yao County had completely become the Yang Family's property.
Even though the Yang family treated him with great courtesy, the number of times Zhou Yi entered the West Mountain could be counted on one hand!
Of course, Daoist Master Zhou Yi knew the meaning of the West Mountain to the entire Yang family, and he also knew that the West Mountain was the true essence and foundation of the Yang family.
In reality, the few people from the Yang family also invited him to come to the West Mountain several times in good faith. As a sharing of cultivation resources, they used the two spiritual rivers here to undergo closed-door cultivation.
But because of this, Adept Zhou instead deliberately avoided going to the West Mountain. In these years, besides discussing the matters and reporting in a certain sense, Adept Zhou Yi rarely entered the West Mountain!
Spiritual Master Zhou Yi had a very good grasp of his own position. He knew that as the Yang family grew more and more prosperous, all kinds of relationships within the family would also become numerous. There would also be a variety of demands for benefits, and all the contradictions within the family would naturally accumulate.
In the past few years, even though he had been very effective in overseeing Hu Yao County, he was actually very keen on observing the Yang Family's fight over the rights of the entire Hu Yao County, from the county town to the town and then to the village. From the small number of people to the number of people who could cultivate the land, there were countless battles, exchanges and compromises over who knew how many benefits there were.
The methods of these Yang Family clansmen fighting with each other might still be immature, and because of the Yang Tian trio's power, the competition behind them was still kept to a certain extent, but they already had what they needed. Whether it was individual or group, as they grew up, they could never be as simple as they were at the beginning.
As the Yang Family's most powerful elder with another surname, perhaps with his cultivation alone she could gain the respect of the Yang Family, but it was extremely difficult for him to avoid getting involved in the fight between the different forces in the family. He could only maintain an indisputable attitude, only then could she truly transcend the enemy, and avoid being taken advantage of by the other people in the Yang Family.
However, this time, he had no choice but to step into the West Mountain. This was because the one he had chosen was Yang Junshan, his good friend and true protector.
If the backbone of the Yang family was the Chief Yang Tian Gang, then Yang Junshan was the totem of the Yang family. He was the basis for the Yang family to stand on the ground in the cultivation world of Yuzhou and fight against the other forces.
However, Daoist Master Zhou was a bit baffled. He had heard that Yang Junshan had gone to the Ancients Prefecture's Desolate Land for a period of time, but there had been no news of him for the next year or so. No one had heard that he had returned, and now that they had exchanged moves, Daoist Master Zhou could only sigh at his unpredictable actions.
The great formation on the western mountain was congregated, and there were trap arrays everywhere. If someone recklessly charged in, even a cultivator would not be able to obtain any benefits.
The western mountain was becoming more and more majestic. However, the path to enter the western mountain was extremely easy to find. One only needed to find a towering tree at the foot of the mountain.
Some people said that Daoist Master Yang had personally planted this tree, and others said that Daoist Master Yang had found this spirit tree outside of the mountain, while others said that they had seen Daoist Master Jun Qi muttering under the tree many times before advancing to the Dao Realm. Some people said that this tree was actually one of the foundations of the array that was set up by Daoist Master Yang.
There were many stories about the poplar, and in a sense, the poplar had become a symbol.
When Daoist Master Zhou Yi arrived at the foot of the western mountain, he looked at the towering tree beside him. The peculiar feeling in his heart became increasingly intense.
However, just two or three years ago, this poplar tree seemed to only be three to four Zhang high, and although its vitality was astonishing, in the middle of the western mountain, it was nourished by spirit energy day and night. It was normal for there to be changes in it, so he did not see the pomegranate forest on the western mountain. Now, every year, the pomegranate fruit would become a treasure that the entire Yang family sought.
In just a short two to three years, the tree had suddenly grown by more than a hundred feet, and the huge treetops were verdant and lush, not affected by the seasons at all. In addition, the boundless vitality of the tree was nowhere to be seen, instead it was like an extremely ordinary tree, but now it gave off a sense of being a living being, as if it were no longer a tree, but a person. Perhaps it was because he was thinking of something, but Daoist Zhou Yi even felt that the tree was' looking 'at him.
Could this tree have become a demon?
A thought suddenly appeared in Zhou Yi's mind, but when he thought about the Demonic Cultivators on Crooked Martial Mountain, he realized that Taoist Junshan had a "record" for raising Demons. If he could adopt a tiger demon as his sworn sister and raise the leader of the Demonic Cultivators on the Mausoleum of Qu Martial Mountain, allowing a group of monkey demons to build a tribe of demons and a nest of crow demons to form a communication network that spread across the borders of the three counties and extended across the entire Jade Prefecture, then raising another tree demon under the Western Mountain didn't seem like much.
However, ever since the alien cultivators arrived, they had only heard of birds, beasts, and so on turning into demons. They had never heard of any demonic cultivator like plants or trees.
What Daoist Master Zhou didn't know was that after he hastily walked up the western mountain, a little girl around ten years old came out from behind the tree trunk and looked at his back.
The Spirit Spring Room had now been converted into the Spirit Spring Hall, which had become the meeting hall for the public affairs of the Yang family.
As the Western Mountain grew in size, the secret room within the Spirit Spring Water continued to expand. Moreover, with the growth of the Yang family's power and influence, the things that were originally treated as treasures no longer needed to be concealed.
The center of the Spirit Spring Hall was still a pool, but the pool was much larger than before. This pool of water was the source of a large vein, and at the same time, it was the spillway of two spirit rivers. It was the place with the densest amount of spirit energy in the entire Western Mountain.
Yang Junshan wanted to meet with Daoist Master Zhou in the Spirit Spring Hall.
As Daoist Master Zhou hastily entered the Spirit Spring Hall, he saw a figure standing on the other side of the Spirit Spring Water Pool.
Daoist Master Zhou Yi cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Yang, when did you come back from Xi Zhou? How come you didn't receive any news in advance?"
As that standing figure heard these words, he slowly turned around. Spiritual Master Zhou Yi's smile froze on his face, as a face that made him shiver with fear appeared in front of him.0
"Lin Canghai, how could it be you!"
Astonished, Daoist Master Zhou Yi shouted. Even his voice began to go out of tune!
Lin Canghai gave a strange laugh, and the sound of a sword could be heard as a ray of sword light shot straight towards his chest.
After a short period of panic, Daoist Master Zhou quickly responded. However, his entire body suddenly turned into seven or eight rays of light, scattering out in all directions of the Spirit Spring Hall. After avoiding Lin Canghai's flying sword, he took the opportunity to counterattack, and several rays of green light shot towards Lin Canghai from different directions.
At the same time, Daoist Master Zhou Yi's heart surged with great waves. How could Lin Canghai appear here? Could it be that the Yang Family had submitted under the pressure of Grandmaster Xuan Yuan, and he had become the Yang Family's show of goodwill towards the Xuan Yuan Sect?
Even so, how could the Yang Family allow Lin Canghai to make a move in a place like the Secret Spirit Spring Room? Moreover, even if they wanted to, there were layers of array formations in the west mountain.
The entire Spirit Spring Hall had long since been ruined by the aftermath of the battle. Lin Canghai also seemed to be worried, it was said that this person was currently at the peak of the Heavenly Dipper Realm, and could advance to the Supreme Force at any time, but the strength he was displaying now was only on par with Zhou Yi.
This appearance of Lin Canghai and everything that had happened in the Spirit Spring Hall seemed to reveal a sort of strangeness, especially Lin Canghai's cultivation level. Not to mention that this person could not suppress his cultivation, he seemed to be extremely familiar with Zhou Yi's methods during the fight and was able to predict his opponent's movements, this alone was not enough. Although Zhou Yi had followed Lin Canghai for a short time, the two of them had not fought and did not understand each other's abilities, so how could Lin Canghai be so familiar with his divine abilities!
The more Adept Zhou Yi fought, the more suspicious he became. At this moment, Lin Canghai suddenly let out a long roar, and his divine sword became one with the stream of light as it directly flew over the Spirit Spring Water Pool and chopped towards him.
Spiritual Master Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, and actually also turned into a gust of wind as he rushed towards Lin Canghai.
Pfft, Lin Canghai's longsword had pierced Daoist Master Zhou's chest, but Daoist Master Zhou did not dodge, and there was not even the slightest trace of fear in his expression. Instead, he opened his mouth and blew out a burst of source energy, blowing Lin Canghai into pieces.
At the same time, the surrounding scenery also shattered. The originally messy Spirit Spring Hall was restored to its original state. As for Daoist Master Zhou Yi, he also stood there, the true essence in his body calm as ever. He simply didn't show any signs of using it.
Clap clap clap * The sound of clapping came from a corner of the hall.
Zhou Yitian looked over and saw Yang Junshan smiling, "Congratulations Brother Zhou for getting rid of this inner demon. The Heavenly Dipper Realm is in sight!"
Spiritual Master Zhou Yi said uncertainly, "This is an illusory magic array?"
Yang Junshan pointed at the Spirit Spring Water Pool in the middle and said, "It's because of this thing."
Daoist Master Zhou's eyes looked at the pool, only to see that in addition to the dense steam coming out of the useful spring water, there were several huge clams the size of a washbasin that had appeared at the bottom of the pool. As he looked at the giant clams, his expression became absent-minded, as if the spring water in the pool was about to quickly flood over and drown him.
Daoist Master Zhou Yi's mind surged with Spiritual Sense as the scene in front of him shattered once again. However, when he looked at the giant clams at the bottom of the pond, he was somewhat amazed. He asked, "What is this? How could it be so magical?"
Yang Junshan smiled, "This item is called Emerald Mussel, and it was obtained during this trip to Xi Prefecture!"
