Chapter 663 Cang Jingkong

The Yang family was not afraid of Guard Li because they knew his identity.

"If he really takes action, it will definitely attract the attention of higher-ups, and then he himself may not be able to cover it up."

"He was even less willing than us to make a big deal out of it."

"Fortunately, his men didn't steal the grain, otherwise we might have failed at the last minute."

Zhong Yi's attempt to seize food from the city wall had already tricked everyone once, and they would never allow an unrelated person to touch their food again.

Especially considering the amount accumulated along the way, it's just right to hand it over to the imperial court; if it's less, there's really nowhere else to get more.

"Speaking of which, now that Guard Li is gone, where should we transport our grain? We have no directions."

They only knew that the goods had been transported to the capital, but they didn't know exactly where to place them to complete the task.

Just as they were struggling with this, Puzzle Solver Number Six said, "Why don't we try our [Station Pass Token] again?"

"Oh, right, this is also a post station, it should work here too, let me try it!"

Yang Zhu volunteered to go to the post station and seek help from the yamen runners, carrying the [Post Station Pass Token] he had obtained from the first post station.

Actually, they had a smooth journey so far because of this pass. Although the officials along the way sometimes tried to extort money from them, they didn't make things difficult for them. They didn't encounter any life-threatening crises along the way.

Yang Genshuo fast-forwarded through it.

At this time, they still stayed at the post station after arriving in the capital.

Yang Zhu quickly learned the news from the yamen runners.

"The grain transport work is under the jurisdiction of the Granary Department, so naturally you have to go to the Granary Department to settle accounts. The Granary Department is the granary of the whole country, and the largest building outside the palace is theirs."

"Thank you brother!"

"But it's already late today, and the warehouse staff have all gone home to rest. You should go early tomorrow morning."

"In that case, we'll have to set off again tomorrow."

Due to time constraints, everyone was forced to rest at the post station for an extra day.

To prevent their grain from being stolen, they secretly put it back into their storage rings when no one was looking.

Late at night, shouts of fighting and killing erupted outside the city, alarming even the Imperial Guards of the capital.

Corpses stormed the capital at night.

"The capital is in turmoil, we need to hurry. We should finish tomorrow and then leave."

Yang Min always felt that staying here any longer would be dangerous.

Nothing more was said that night, and the group set off for the warehouse early the next morning.

When they arrived at the location indicated by the constables, they saw huge warehouses, but there were very few officials inside.

"Sir, we are escorts of grain to the capital under orders from the imperial court. The grain is all here; please inspect it, sir."

The officials seemed quite surprised that someone could still transport grain to the capital at this time.

With a wave of his hand, two starving officials with gaping holes in their bellies and half their intestines spilling out emerged from the granary.
"Hehehe~ It's good to see you all again, Jiehu."

"You did indeed arrive in the capital at the agreed time."

"Let me see if you have brought enough food."

After inspecting the place for a while, the two officials nodded.

"You guys are quite diligent. The grain is barely enough. Come on, let's transport it to the granary."

The Yang family members pulled a small cart filled with grain, walking step by step towards the towering, enormous granary.

The granary had a small opening, and inside it was pitch black, like a demon devouring white grains, waiting for its favorite food to walk into its trap.

"Ancestor, shall we go in?"

Their 398-man team seemed so insignificant in the face of this colossal granary, large enough to hold the grain of an entire dynasty.

"I can't see what's going on inside, but I'll be watching you."

Having come this far, there's no reason to retreat.

"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. Let's go!"

Led by Yang Qiangjin, the Yang family members pulled the grain into the giant granary.

Their mission will be complete once all the grain is stored in the granary.
Jiejiejie~
Jiejiejie~
With the sinister laughter of the two starving officials behind them, the group entered the largest granary of the dynasty.

In an instant, the world changed!
Everything around turned white, and all sounds outside disappeared completely.

Yang Min subconsciously turned around, and the entrance behind him disappeared.

Guided by a strange force, the grain they brought burst out of the bags and flew into the air uncontrollably.

Everyone was startled by the unexpected turn of events.

"Protect the food first!"

Everyone used their magic to prevent the grain from flying out, but the force seemed invincible, completely severing their magic, and no one could stop the grain from flying into the sky.

"Could this power be..."

"The power of the domain?"

Yang Qiangjin and Yang Min both sensed it at the same time!

Looking around again, all I see is a white space and the warehouse I can't leave.
"We're trapped inside a [domain]!"

field?

Yang Genshuo took a moment to realize what that meant.

"A Nascent Soul cultivator's domain!?"

“That’s right! There’s a Nascent Soul cultivator here using his domain. Our food will follow the rules of his domain. Even if we use all our strength, we can’t win in a Nascent Soul cultivator’s domain.”

After Yang Min finished speaking, the group stopped resisting and allowed all the grains they had painstakingly obtained along the way to be absorbed by the domain.

Yang Minke wasn't bothered at all; they were growing grain precisely to complete this story.

"It's not surprising that a Nascent Soul cultivator is stationed in the granary of a dynasty. I just hope that after taking the grain, they will let us leave."

Yang Genshuo scanned the area but couldn't find any Nascent Soul cultivators using their domains.

After all the grains rose into the air, the rice grains in the sky slowly coalesced into a monster-like shape that resembled both a human and a ghost.

Their style is similar to that of starving officials, rat servants, and wandering corpses.

But this thing was huge, towering above everyone like a giant Buddha statue, suppressing them.

At that moment, a character card popped up on it.

[Net Empty]

Legendary Soul

[Realm Level: Nascent Soul Stage]

[Attribute: None]

[A soul that condensed within the largest granary of the ancient Da Nai Dynasty, embodying the fate of the dynasty's grains, involved in the life and death of countless people, and possessing extremely complex thought processes.]

[Ability: Assimilation, Food Distribution. ???]

【state:? ? ? 】

There was only a brief introduction, but it was enough to demonstrate this guy's abilities.

A genuine Nascent Soul stage legendary soul!

It's unclear whether this thing is friend or foe at the moment.

"Don't make any rash moves. Let's see what this guy is up to."

The 'Cang Jing Kong' in the air was still changing shape, and only stabilized after its body had absorbed all the food. "Your food is delicious. I haven't eaten so much food in a long time."

The ethereal sound echoed from all directions, its timbre indistinguishable from any other, as if it were a mixture of many different sounds.

It sounds really unpleasant to the ears.

Even though it was from another world, Yang Genshuo felt that the other person's voice was like fingernails scratching on a blackboard.
Yang Qiangjin gestured with her lips, indicating that Yang Min should take charge of the conversation.

She had complete faith in her nephew's abilities, just as she had faith in her younger brother, Yang Feng.

Or rather, Yang Min's character is more reliable than Yang Feng's.

He is already capable of handling things independently.

"Senior, we are the imperial escorts appointed by the court. It is our duty to transport grain into the granary. It is our honor to satisfy you. Is there anything else we can do?"

Yang Min bowed respectfully, expressing his respect for this genuine Nascent Soul stage legendary soul.

This is not a team they can currently contend with.

The closer Yang Min got to the Nascent Soul stage, the more he realized how terrifying the power of the Nascent Soul stage was.

Especially for those Nascent Soul stage cultivators who have already formed their own domains, everyone within their domains is completely powerless to resist.
“You have brought grain to the granary, and you are loyal subjects of the Da Nai Dynasty. I... I should reward you.”

Cang Jingkong shook his head, and the face on it kept changing, as if it were a combination of many people's faces.

Yang Min also saw the facial features of the officials in charge of the warehouse outside from above.

Upon hearing that they would be rewarded, everyone finally relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Judging from this situation, I thought we'd been ambushed and were about to fight."

"Luckily, a fight didn't break out, otherwise, how could we possibly be a match for this Nascent Soul stage behemoth?"

"Thinking about it, it makes sense. We did everything we could to transport the grain to the capital, so we deserve the court's reward. They wouldn't make things difficult for us."

A radiant smile appeared on Yang Min's face.

'Are we finally reaching the end? I hope this is over and our people can get out safely.'

More than the potential benefits, Yang Min cared about whether his family members could leave safely.

This is why he still chose to come in, even though he clearly had the ability to avoid it.

Looking back at the nine younger siblings and nephews and nieces he had brought along, Yang Min felt that his trip had been worthwhile.

If he weren't there, these nine people wouldn't have survived.

At this moment, Yang Qiangjin held her daughter Yang Minsi's hand with her right hand and reached into her bosom with her left hand to take out a dried Blue Silver Grass.

"Brother Fan, I promise I won't let anything happen to our daughter!"

A century has passed, and Yang Qiangjin still thinks of that man, the one she loved.

Within this white space, Cang Jingkong made a few grasping motions in the air, and streams of light converged, forming a pure white flower in his hand.

The roots beneath this flower are like white grains of rice, and the flower itself shimmers with a faint bluish light.

A unique aroma of rice wafted out from it.

Everyone felt their spiritual power rapidly increasing and their cultivation techniques running on their own after just one sniff.

"Hiss~ What kind of treasure is this?"

The ancestor provided the answer to Yang Qiangjin's question.

The Flower of Abundance

[Rank: Heavenly Rare Treasure]

[Attribute: None]

[This symbolizes the significance of the establishment of the largest granary in the ancient Da Nai Dynasty, signifying a prosperous world, peaceful and happy lives for all, and a time when no one would starve. It embodies the dynasty's greatest aspirations and possesses the power of rules, greatly aiding cultivators in forming their own domains.]

[After refining, one can gain a large amount of cultivation power, and the effects of consuming rare and precious herbs and elixirs will be significantly increased in the future.]

This item can be used by cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

The series of introductions, culminating in the very last sentence, caused Yang Qiangjin and Yang Min to gasp in shock!
"We actually found it! A treasure that can be used to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

"A treasure coveted by all Golden Core cultivators across the entire Lingmiao Continent, capable of significantly increasing the probability of breakthrough!"

"You can't buy something like this with any amount of spirit stones!"

Both of them had already reached the half-step Nascent Soul realm, and what they needed was this kind of top-tier treasure!

At this moment, all the hardships were worth it!

However, the others looked at Yang Min and Yang Qiangjin with strange eyes.

Yang Minsi pulled Yang Zhu aside and clicked her tongue, saying, "Oh no, Xiao Zhu. There's only one. How are my mother and my older brother going to divide it?"

These two were her closest relatives. Yang Min had been taking care of them since they were young, especially her after her father's death. In Yang Min's eyes, this older brother was no different from her own father.

The eldest brother is like a father.

Although Yang Zhu is a generation younger than her, the two are not too far apart in age and often play together.

"It's hard to say. How about we wait until we get back to get assigned to someone, and leave here first?"

Yang Minke then chimed in, "Such important matters should naturally be decided by the Ancestor."

The appearance of such a treasure is undoubtedly the greatest opportunity for the Yang family on this trip!
If the Yang family could produce another Nascent Soul stage cultivator, their family status would be completely different.

"This is difficult for me to handle."

Yang Genshuo was also scratching his head.

He knew both Yang Qiangjin and Yang Min's cultivation levels; they were on the verge of reaching the Nascent Soul stage, just one step away from entering that realm.

With the help of their families, the two also accumulated many rare treasures to help them break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

But none of them possessed such a treasure.

This is a wonderful treasure that can be used to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!

Targeted treasure!

Yang Genshuo was certain that the cultivators who were chasing behind, especially the few famous half-step Nascent Soul cultivators, had entered the legendary land in search of this thing!

But only one was given. How should it be distributed?
One is the eldest daughter of the third generation of the Yang family, and the other is the eldest son of the fourth generation.

Yang Qiangjin is qualified and capable, and has contributed to the Yang family. Her husband fought to the last moment to buy time, and his self-destruction gave the Yang family a chance to win. She is absolutely worthy of this treasure.

However, Yang Min is very talented. Now that Yang Feng has disappeared, he is the most talented person in the entire Yang family, apart from the head of the family. His potential is higher than that of these people, and he can be said to have a limitless future!
Moreover, Yang Min's caring nature towards his family is something Yang Genshuo really likes.

"What can I do when both my palms and the backs of my hands are my flesh and blood?"

Yang Genshuo really has a hard time speaking out about this difficult issue.

Yang Qiangjin was conflicted at this moment. She really wanted it because she was not confident about her advancement. She needed this kind of thing to make a final decision and help her complete this breakthrough.

But the person in front of him was his nephew.
"Aunt, please accept it. I am very confident in advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, so I don't need this."

Yang Min smiled calmly, without a trace of greed in his eyes.

At this moment, everyone in the Yang family, collateral relatives, and the Tianlong Army couldn't help but give Yang Min a thumbs up.

Yang Genshuo couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Yang Min's character is truly excellent, which is even more precious than talent. You will surely be the future head of the Yang family."

Yang Min's sense of responsibility, humility, and easygoing nature truly satisfied Yang Genshuo.

The perfect head of the household!
Yang Qiangjin was a little embarrassed and was about to decline when the white space behind her began to distort, and a black figure rushed in from outside!

He headed straight for the "Flower of Abundance" in the empty warehouse in the air.

Yang Genshuo was shocked after seeing it!
"Guard Li!"
