Chapter 639 Leaked
The Ma family, dragging 50 Ma family-made "demon-catching bags" of varying sizes, slipped out of the Demon Wind Forest.

"Wow~ This time we really made a fortune. Besides the 20 specific demons for the family, the remaining 30 demons can be sold for about 2 mid-grade spirit stones."

"Not only that, the money the family gave us for buying 20 demons is also ours!"

"A business with zero investment and huge profits is just awesome!"

"The demons here are a bunch of idiots. They actually came up to greet us humans. It's hilarious!"

"Our profits are not just tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones. I think we can put the pure-blooded demon babies we caught this time at auction. Who knows, each one might sell for 1!"

"That makes sense. Big brother really knows how to do business!"

"I only found out about this after attending several auctions. What do you guys think? Should we come here regularly to capture a batch of demons and sell them on the Spirit Continent? That way, we can save up money to buy the treasures we really need, and we won't have to risk our lives to try our luck in the legendary lands."

"But the Yang family is a difficult case. After all, this is their territory. They didn't see us this time, but who knows what will happen next time? Our family has cooperated with them quite a bit, so it's best not to take the risk."

"Speaking of which, aren't you curious about what exactly happened in Bright City? The Yang family actually activated a fifth-grade formation to drive us away, and there isn't a single member of the Yang family here in the Demon Wind Forest. It seems they've all been recalled."

"It's a bit strange, actually."

"Shall we go back and take another look?"

"Well, it's night now. Send your Moon Shadow Beast to scout around. It's very good at hiding at night. Unless it's a Nascent Soul cultivator, it won't attack unless it attacks first, so cultivators won't be able to spot it."

"it is good!"

A small, silver Moonshadow Beast flew out from Ma Yan's sleeve. It flapped its wings and soared into the sky, merging into the same color as the horizon, completely disappearing from sight. Even divine sense could not detect anything unusual about the place.

Moonshadow Beast, also known as the Hermit of the Night.

After poaching 50 demons in the Demon Wind Forest, the Ma family couldn't suppress their curiosity and decided to explore Bright City again.

huh~~~
The Moonshadow Beast flew to the outskirts of Bright City, its sharp eyes emitting starlight.

It used its special eyesight to observe everything within the City of Light.

After observing intently for a moment, the Moonshadow Beast shook its head.

"A fifth-grade grand formation. Even my racial talent cannot break through it."

It could only see dark green light flowing above Bright City, which was an extremely powerful formation.

Just as the Moonshadow Beast was about to return to report to its master, its ears twitched, as if it had heard conversations around it.

"Huh? Who is it?"

But in the pitch-black moonlight, it hadn't noticed anyone around it at all.

It should be noted that its direct combat strength is not strong; its racial talents are almost entirely focused on concealment and reconnaissance. Those who could evade its recent scan are either Golden Core cultivators who are proficient in concealment techniques or cultivators enveloped by top-tier formations.

But hearing the voice without seeing the person clearly doesn't fall into either of these two categories.

The sound faintly came from the ground, where it was pitch black, making the Moonshadow Beast a little uneasy.

"Could this be some kind of trap deliberately set by those cultivators from Bright City?"

But its intense curiosity drove it to slowly descend, believing that it could escape most of the traps with its strength.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, he finally found the source of the sound.

In the field, three black men were lying on the ground chatting.

"Hiss~ Racial talent, terrifying indeed!"

The Moonshadow Beast was greatly shocked, never expecting that there would be such a gifted person among the human race!

Skin color blends into the darkness!
Soon, the Moonshadow Beast wandered around the surrounding spirit fields, overheard the conversation of these ordinary black people who weren't even cultivators, and then flew away thoughtfully.

That evening, the Ma family boarded a treasure ship and left the Da Nai Dynasty.

The legendary land, the White Granary.

The areas that Yang Genshuo can see are still safe for the time being.

After overcoming the challenge at the post station, there are no more formidable enemies on the rest of the journey.

The background of this story is only supplemented by some sights and experiences encountered on the road.

In the story, this era is the Great Nai Dynasty, where the court controls everything, but plagues, riots, banditry and other such events frequently break out in various places, and the living environment of ordinary people is worrying.

The imperial court also continuously conscripted people from below to provide food supplies to replenish the troops at the front lines; the selected households were called "Jiehu".

If the grain is not delivered to the capital as required, the entire family will be executed.

This was a turbulent era, and a time when ordinary people struggled to survive.

These were the pieces of information they gathered after encountering refugees inside.

Nothing dangerous happened over the next three days.

"It seems that the pitfalls of post stations don't always exist. There are still quite a few sights and small opportunities along the way."

Some refugees actually possess treasures. If you can fulfill their wishes or complete a certain task, you can obtain those treasures from them.

"Hmm, it seems like a side quest in a game."

"The returns aren't that high, but the risks are low, so you can choose not to do it."

Of course, teams like Yang Min, Yang Qiangjin, Yang Zhu, and Yang Zhushuang would generally talk to the refugees and try to complete a few tasks.

The harvest consisted mostly of spiritual materials and herbs, as well as a few rare treasures of ordinary quality.

It's roughly on the same level as the "Wisdom Fruit".

"Even mortal-level rare treasures are extremely valuable to me. I should take as many as I can and use them when they come out."

The fruit grown from that [Blood Rice Ear] is exactly what Yang Genshuo wanted.

Yang Min also obtained a treasure called "Hungry Ghost Food," which looks like a dark, murky mess, but can slightly improve a cultivator's comprehension!
This was arguably the first time Yang Genshuo had ever seen a treasure that could enhance his comprehension.

Although it's only a basic level product, its effects are absolutely top-notch!
He thought that comprehension was something innate and couldn't be improved, and that the effects of this "Hungry Ghost Food" were quite remarkable.

“When I cultivate, I clearly feel that my speed is very slow. Besides my shallow spiritual root aptitude, my comprehension is also not very good. I will get this thing from Yang Min even if I have to be shameless.”

For cultivation geniuses like them, a slight increase in comprehension might not seem like much, but for someone like Yang Genshuo, who has a simpleton's physique, even a slight increase could be a huge 10% improvement!
That's right, Yang Genshuo believes that his comprehension is probably only 10 points like an average person.

If one had higher comprehension, one wouldn't have been tormented by inner demons for 100 days before awakening.

Besides the team in front, there's another team behind them. They haven't left the spawn point yet.

Yang Minke, a civil engineer, is even leading people to farm the land behind the scenes.

They were relaxed and at ease, not in a hurry at all.

Besides farming, they spend their time in the surrounding area.

Their activity range radiates outwards in a circular pattern from the defensive positions they have built.

In the past few days, they have ventured more than 100 miles outwards, encountering not only dilapidated villages but also some refugees and observing a mountain stronghold.
Yang Minke believed there might be another story behind it, but their team did not intend to explore it. Their priority was to ensure that the grain was grown and delivered to the capital within the stipulated time.

Yang Genshuo didn't quite understand.

If Yang Min hadn't figured out the secret to getting through the post station, then doing this would have been understandable.

But now there's a walkthrough that can get you through the game. With the strength of Yang Minke's army, although they certainly won't achieve a perfect ending, they can use Plan B to defeat the Rat King and then take out the yamen runners, and they can also take all the underground grain.

But Yang Minke doesn't see it that way. He believes that farming here is also a possible development in the story; those who came before have paved the way, so they can then easily advance.
Yang Genshuo didn't say anything more.

"The child is growing up and has their own ideas."

"Ah~~~ So sleepy."

Yang Genshuo hadn't had much rest for five days. Even though he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator with boundless energy, he was starting to feel the strain.

"The refugees pose little threat to them. I'll take a nap first. They'll call on me when they encounter any problems."

Yang Genshuo gave a few instructions and then went to rest.

I had just lain down when I felt something was off.

He sat up abruptly.

"Holy crap? I don't think I've left the house since the ancestral worship ceremony."

Four days ago, the ancestral worship ceremony encountered a major change and was forced to end hastily. Yang Genshuo then participated in the strategy for conquering the legendary land and has been operating on multiple fronts ever since.

The offerings from the ancestral worship ceremony haven't been processed yet.

After practicing the "Mechanical Arts" technique once, Yang Genshuo felt better.

"Brother Shuo, you're out. I thought you were in seclusion again. I really didn't dare to disturb you."

"Brother Shuo, have you not eaten for days? Do you want me to get you something to eat?"

"Master, we've run out of Standard Spirit Building Blocks in our storage rings. We're still short of Immortal Qi Building materials. Where can we get more of these?"

"Are you going out, sir? Let me ride! I want to ride Xiaoyan!"

Listening to his comrades surrounding him, giving orderly reports and greetings, Yang Genshuo felt a warmth in his heart.

"It's so safe here."

On Mount Jiuhua, the sun shines brightly, the climate is pleasant, and the air is filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs.

Although it was only a third-grade formation, it was enough to protect their safety.

There were no starving officials, no rat-like servants, and no covetous eyes from other cultivation forces.
He may be the only cultivator on this planet right now.

Yang Genshuo, who had been tricked by the TW organization and was quite irritable, now looked back at his situation from the cultivation world and found it to be nothing more than a few hardships.

"It's definitely safe! While you were in seclusion these past few days, news came from the military. Based on the information provided by that old witch, they took action in multiple cities across the country, arresting a large number of foreign agents with swift and decisive measures, cracking numerous infiltration cases, and deterring those foreign elements, especially in our Shimen City, where the crackdown has been particularly severe!"

“I dare say that even if we go out to work normally now, it will be much harder for the TW organization to spy on us like they used to.”

Yang Genshuo nodded after hearing Tian Zhe's report.

"It is also necessary to have appropriate faith in official methods."

"On this issue, our pursuit is consistent with that of the authorities."

"After all, we are all Chinese."

The authorities intervened and purged a large number of members of the TW organization. However, Yang Genshuo knew that since the TW organization knew that he had taken away the Old Witch, they must also know that the agents in Asia were likely exposed, and had probably already transferred the core members away.

The remaining ones are probably those who are slow or out of touch.

In short, now that the authorities have intervened, they can feel a little more at ease.

"However, we must treat it as if the enemy could appear at any time, and they could come back at any moment. Our base must be able to completely resist all spying and guarantee absolute security!"

"Next, let's complete the Fairy-like Building and resume our business and research."

This is the first area they built on Mount Jiuhua, and it is also a landmark building of the Xianqi Group.

All their research, workshops, meetings, and trade will be conducted here.

The Fairy Tower is located halfway up Jiuhua Mountain. It is the outermost building in the entire Jiuhua Mountain plan. Only by passing through the Fairy Tower can you reach other areas.

"Tian Zhe, and the other ten of you, come with me."

Yang Genshuo distributed a new batch of [Standard Spirit Building Blocks] to everyone below the ethereal building.

This kind of thing isn't very valuable, and it's produced in large quantities within Bright City.

This time, Yang Genshuo brought over enough material to completely transform Jiuhua Mountain.

This is nothing more than a drop in the ocean for the Yang family.

"You continue to complete the building with the magical aura according to the blueprints, then go down the mountain and transfer all the experimental equipment needed by Dao Ye's laboratory and Liang Xuetong's laboratory. Tell Guo Xiaozhi what you need and let him find someone to order another batch."

"In addition, we will also install the production lines of our food factory, pharmaceutical factory, and winery here."

This is a multi-purpose building, large enough to accommodate the operation of these factories.

"Yes, master!"

Ten people went off to do their work, and Tian Zhe looked at his empty hands, not even having a single spirit building block, and immediately realized what was going on.

"Brother Shuo, what is my mission?"

Yang Genshuo looked at Tian Zhe with a mysterious smile on his lips.

"Cultivating immortality."

"Um!?"

Yang Genshuo opened his palm, revealing a yellowish-brown root that resembled a potato.

It shimmers with a faint glow and exudes a rich aroma.

"This is.?"

As a master martial artist with innate abilities, Tian Zhe could feel the fatal attraction this thing had for him; as long as he took it, he would definitely gain unimaginable benefits.

This was his sixth sense, and it was incredibly strong!

"This is a wonderful thing that can transform you from an ordinary mortal into an immortal."

[Earth-Rank Rare Treasure: Essence of the Earth]

It is a rare treasure on par with the [Seed of Life], capable of allowing a mortal to reshape their spiritual roots!
Gudong~
Tian Zhe swallowed hard, staring in disbelief at the golden potato in front of him.

"Can I really?"

"Of course, are you ready?"

"I'm ready!"

"Alright, I will now guide you onto the path of cultivation!"

Yang Genshuo needs a cultivator like himself as an assistant, and Tian Zhe is the most suitable person.

After Tian Zhe consumed the Essence of Earth, Yang Genshuo turned his attention to Lin Yue, the girl who had always been silently following behind him in the manor.

He also had a [Seed of Life] offered up by the Yang family.

"Reshaping the spiritual root, replenishing deficiencies"
