Yang Junshan's sudden return made Yan Qinxi and Yang Junqi overjoyed. Even Yang Junqi, who always had a cold personality, rarely showed an unquenchable excitement on her face.
However, it was clear that there was one more thing that needed to be resolved. Yang Junshan did not comment on the thick soil puppet's request to return.
At first, when Yang Junshan took the thick soil Puppet away from Immortal Palace, he had only agreed to thirty years, but the deadline had already passed. Since the thick soil Puppet wanted to return, Yang Family could not stop it any longer, in fact, the thick soil Puppet itself was not lying, and the reason why it was willing to stay in Yang Family for a few more years, was because the Western Mountain environment was beneficial and harmless to it.
However, when Yang Junshan took out a Artemisia edulis Thunb "Earth Core" refined from the s in the Stellar Cliffs, the thick soil Puppet instantly changed its mind.
Yang Junshan turned around and asked, "What?"
"That, give it to me, thirty years!"
The thick soil Puppet seemed to want to speak a little faster, but was unable to speak in a coherent manner.
"Are you saying that if I give this to you, you are willing to stand guard over the Western Mountain for the Yang Family for another thirty years?" Yang Junshan asked.
"That's right!" The two words "thick soil Puppet" were said decisively.
"Too little!" Yang Junshan refused without thinking.
"Fifty years!" The thick soil Puppet immediately revealed the urgency of his needs.
Yang Junshan laughed. Stretching out his palm, another "Earth Core" that was similar in size to the previous one actually appeared in his hand. Following the movement of the nine man genuine essence within his palm, a layer of dust that was barely visible to the naked eye started to be removed from the "Earth Core".
Yang Junshan was refining Artemisia edulis Thunb s in the s in the Stellar Cliffs's space. Because of the time that had passed through 'refinement', he smelted the majority of the Artemisia edulis Thunb's ingredients into two "Earth Cores", but what was currently being refined in his hands was a step further, stripping the magazine inside away as much as possible, returning the "Earth Core" back to its true state as the "Earth Core".
And as the refinement continued, the Earth Core's volume once again shrank, the color turned from black to pure black, the life force contained within it even made one salivate, even the thick soil puppet's heavy body couldn't help but to take two steps forward.
"How long can you stay in the West Mountain?" Yang Junshan asked with a smile.
A trace of a struggle seemed to surface on the thick soil's originally expressionless face. Then, he said: "I'm going to stay. Are you really giving?"
Yang Junshan threw the Artemisia edulis Thunb that had basically been restored into the thick soil puppet's hands and said: "Staying in Yang Family for a hundred years, this Artemisia edulis Thunb will belong to you. Furthermore, if there's nothing else, you can continue to sleep inside the Earth Vein, and I'm afraid that by then, not to mention a hundred years, after thirty to fifty years, your strength will probably reach the Qingyun Realm."
The thick soil puppet obviously did not think that Yang Junshan would actually give it to it. After hearing Yang Junshan's words, it raised its head and looked at Yang Junshan, then looked at the Artemisia edulis Thunb in its hands. Then, it sunk down to the ground and said to Yang Junshan: "You follow the guide, speak."
Yang Junshan nodded towards the thick soil puppet that was now sinking towards the Western Mountain with only one head remaining. Then, he turned his head and smiled to Yan Qinxi. But what happened? When I just got back to Immortal Palace, someone already told me that you were the mastermind! "
Yan Qinxi immediately laughed when she heard that, "It seems like Great Magical-powered Man is indeed Great Magical-powered Man. I thought that he had done it secretly, but I still couldn't hide it completely."
Speaking of which, after Daoist Jia Bofang had fallen at the border area in the east of Tuo Wu Mountain, the entire Qi Chu had fallen into an internal strife.
The original structure of the Qi Chu Sect was extremely strange, it was mainly composed of members from the two great clans of the Yao County, which controlled nearly eighty percent of the sect's cultivation resources, as well as high-level cultivator, who was at least realms of life level. They occupied the territory of the two counties, Qi Yao and Chu Yao.
Especially after Jia Bofang had advanced to the Taoist Realm, the entire Qi Chu had basically already been under the control of the three Jia brothers. The last three brothers had secretly changed the structure of the sect in the Qi Chu on the surface, it could even be considered a big deal.
Under the reforms of the Jia brothers, the first thing the Qi Chu Sect did was to open up a wide range of sects and recruit talented cultivators from the Yao County s. It was no longer limited to the Qi and Chu Family and had greatly changed the cultivation ratio of the low level cultivators from the Qi Chu s.
Moreover, it did its best to be fair and equal. As a result, it similarly gave the cultivators with a different surname a way for them to rise in power, at least during the period when the three brothers were in power, the number of cultivators with a different surname and cultivation level in the Qi Chu Sect increased by three or four, increasing their standing outside of the Qi and Chu Families. At the same time, some of the secrets that the cultivators with a different surname and above cultivation level in the sect were exposed, causing the two Qi Chu and the Qi Chu to be under a lot of pressure.
However, under the Jia brothers' absolute power control, even though the Qi and Chu brothers secretly took action, they did not dare to openly go against them. This caused the internal reforms of the Qi Chu Sect to have some twists and turns, but they continued to go forward.
To be fair, Jia Bofang's reforms had an active effect on the strength of the Qi Chu Sect, and the direction of his reforms was to push the Qi Chu Sect towards a more diverse sect, not just an alliance of the loose families that the Qi and Chu Families took turns to control. At least in the years that Jia Bofang had been in power, the number of high-level cultivator in the Qi Chu Sect had been increasing.
However, just as the three brothers were nearing success in reforming the Qi Chu, Daoist Jia Bofang was mysteriously killed without any warning on his way back from a visit to the Tan Xi Sect. Furthermore, the culprit did not even destroy his corpse, and still had not found the culprit.
However, this was just the beginning. It was like the prelude to the internal strife in the Qi Chu Sect. Just as the cultivation world was arguing about the reason behind the fall of Daoist Jia Bofang, Jia Shu Zhi, who was severely injured by Yan Qinxi after killing Yang Junxiu and escaped from the Sky Burying Ruins, suddenly died in the sect.
In less than a month, the last remaining of the Jia Clan brothers, Adept Tai Gang Jia Zhongyi, who was the additional son-in-law of the Chu Family, suddenly escaped with his wife and children. The Qi and Chu Families combined their powers to attack and chase the six people, and in the end, the six realms of life cultivators chased after them at the border of the Yuzhou Prefecture, and a huge war broke out between the two sides. In the end, the venomous and injured Jia Zhongyi, who was wary of his wife and son, was killed by the combined forces of the Chu and Qi families, and not a single one of his wife and son survived.0
The three Jia brothers, who had been famous in the cultivation world of the Yuzhou Prefecture for dozens of years, had now disappeared into thin air. The reforms that they had worked for had also been forced to a standstill due to the retaliation of the two great clans, Qi and Chu. However, their reforms were not without results, at least three or four realms of life Cultivators, under the suppression of the two great clans, were tightly hugging each other.
fire valley, Western Mountain Madame Yang and Opening Spirit School began to follow the direction of the sect and expand their scope of influence. Even the Extraterritorial forces of Yuan Yao County started to become abnormally lively, and the entire southwest of Yuzhou Prefecture started to become bustling with noise and excitement.
When Yang Junshan returned, the Qi Chu Sect was on the verge of death due to the joint attack of a few sects. The Qi and Chu Families could only gather at the entrance of the sect, even if there were some sects fighting amongst themselves, they had no way to turn back the situation.
On the west mountain, Yan Qinxi explained to Yang Junshan the general situation of Yao County after the fall of Daoist Jia Bofang.
Yang Junshan sighed: "So you're saying that Jia Bofang secretly visited the Tan Xi Sect, that it was someone inside the Qi Chu that deliberately leaked the news, and after you found out, secretly went to the Tan Xi Sect to verify it, and there was also someone in the Tan Xi Sect that intentionally leaked the news of the alliance between the Qi Chu and the, as well as Jia Bofang's trip, and finally, you informed Hu Niu and the other two that they killed Jia Bofang at the eastern border of the Tuo Wu Mountain?"
Yan Qinxi said: "I cannot allow Tan Xi Sect to form an alliance with a force that has enmity with the Western Mountain Madame Yang, this is not because I am afraid that they will harm the Madame Yang after they form an alliance, but is because I am worried that the Tan Xi Sect will be dragged into it. Other than you, I should be extremely clear about the true strength and potential of the entire Madame Yang family."
Yang Junshan smiled and didn't say anything.
Yan Qinxi then asked, "Since you are back, what should we do next?"
I've brought some trouble back from the foreign land. Although this trouble will not affect you guys, but I plan to stay in seclusion for a period of time, during this period of time I can ask the cultivators of the family to restrain themselves a little, and as for the Yao County, they will leave just as they see fit.
Yan Qinxi did not ask what the trouble was. Hearing Yang Junshan's question, she answered: "It was picked by Old Thirteen, but the specific matter was helped by Ning Bin. Oh right, Yu'er also followed along, his cultivation has already reached the peak of the Astral Transformation Realm."
Yang Junshan smiled when he heard that, "His cultivation rose quickly, but it seems like he didn't just take charge of himself. He must have a solid foundation, so when he comes back, send him to the Liangyu Mountain Range's Immortality Peach Mountain to see if he can find the opportunity to get the Immortality Peach."
