Chapter 488 - River Demons

There were two types of pith coin in the cultivation world. The first type was the two which Yang Junshan was currently playing with in his hands, inside, there was a dense Qi, and although the spirit energy contained within it wasn’t as rich as the spirit energy in crystal coins, its value was still more than a hundred times, and it was also a naturally formed pith coin that was extremely rare in the world of cultivation. It could even be used to nurture spirit veins, pill refining, weapon crafting, talisman crafting, and more.

There was naturally “fake” if there was real one, but this “fake” was not a fake pith coin, but rather this kind of pith coin was truly created by refining, and the spirit energy stored inside had indeed reached a hundred times the density of crystal coins. However, this kind of artificially formed pith coin was not able to be used to refine pills or make Qi, much less nurture spirit veins like true pith coin.

However, because these “fake pith coin” contained a lot of spirit energy, if used to assist in cultivation, it would be more effective than real pith coin. Aesult, these “fake pith coin” were also called Jade pith coin.

Although Yang Junshan did not recognise the True pith coin, he had seen the fake pith coin, which was actually the Jade pith coin. He had once obtained a box of Jade pith coin s from the ninth layer of the Heaven-Shaking Peak’s restricted space.

Gathering one hundred pith coin would allow him to nurture another spirit vein out. This was not considered a secret in the cultivation world, the real secret was how to nurture a spirit vein out of a body, and that was the abilities of the Spiritual Seeker.

According to what Yang Junshan knew, in order to cultivate a spirit vein out of the pith coin, one must know the secret technique to draw out the dense Qi from the Jade Marrow, and this kind of secret technique could only be grasped by Spiritual Seeker s who had reached level 2 and above qualifications.

Yang Junshan’s little sister, Yang Junxin, could be considered to be quite talented on the road to Spiritual Seeker, andhe was still a third rate Spiritual Seeker. But to reach the level of a second rate Spiritual Seeker, she still had a long way to go.

Just as Yang Junshan was still in the middle of recuperating from his injuries, the Heaven-Shaken Sect was already holding onto the power of the Adept Qing Shu to achieve victory over the Heavenly Dipper Sovereign and the Yuan Magnet Mountain beast tide. She once again launched an attack on the Sirius Gate from the Mengyu County.

However, just as the Heaven-Shaken Sect was winning and the power of the Sirius Gate was about to be expelled from the Wangshan Town, another explosive piece of news spread throughout the entire Yuzhou: Adept Grey Wolf had also improved their Heavenly Dipper Realm!

Adept Chang Li’s Adept Chang Li, Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Adept Qing Shu, Sirius Gate’s Adept Grey Wolf. Within a short span of a few years, three Adepts of the Heavenly Dipper Realm had appeared in succession in Yuzhou’s cultivation world.

However, the news of the breakthrough in the Adept Grey Wolf was like a blow to the Heaven-Shaken Sect, the morale of the cultivators of Sirius Gate rose greatly, the few Spiritual Masters of the Sirius Gate also took turns to exert their strength, although because of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s strength, it was difficult for the Sirius Gate’s power to enter the Wangshan Town, but the Sirius Gate still had a certain foothold in the Sunset Ridge.

At the same time, Tuo Wu Shan became the only channel for Sirius Gate to enter the Mengyu County after the power of the Demonic cultivators that were hiding within had been cut off, but Heaven-Shaken Sect was no longer able to do anything about it, because Sunset Ridge was situated at the junction of the two sects’ strengths. Facing the suppression from the two sects, it was already a blessing that Heaven-Shaken Sect was able to save one third of the space that the Sunset Ridge occupied in the Sunset Ridge’s mining area.

After the expansion of Mengyu County’s footsteps were stopped, the Heaven-Shaken Sect turned around and headed east then suddenly entered the Chenyu County’s territory. Other than the Bluestone Town that was already under his control, the Heaven-Shaken Sect had controlled three other towns, namely Stone Town and Stone Town, which took up more than half of the Chenyu County’s territory. Adding this to the fact that the Mengyu County was not only limited to the Sandtown, the area that the Heaven-Shaken Sect was currently controlling was now over two counties.

But just at this time, a message came from the Wasteland Town, forcing Yang Junshan to end his closed doors cultivation and rush back to the Xishan Village.

Outside of Xishan Village, the north shore of Qinshui was still in a mess. The battle marks scattered all over did not show that an intense battle had broken out here previously, and the previously busy south entrance of Xishan Village had become much quieter.

“What’s going on, could it be that the Snow Wind Sword Sect’s people are knocking on our door?”

Yang Tiangang laughed: “No, it’s a beast wave!”

“Beast tide?” Yang Junshan asked curiously: “The beast tide at the Magnetic Birth Mountain affected this place?”

“It’s not a beast tide from the magnetic mountain, but a group of demon beasts that suddenly appeared from the Qinshui, most of them were fish, shrimp, turtle and baby type living creatures in the water, all of them appearing strangely on the shore. Their strength is not very strong, but they were able to shock people first, this wave of water type demon beasts attacked the Xishan Village, but they did not cause much damage, instead, most of them were exterminated by the cultivators in the village, however, due to the lack of warning from the array, several villages in the Qinshui were ambushed and suffered quite a few casualties.”

“He Yao?”

Yang Junshan understood immediately, all these things that the Yang family had been guarding against were the beasts on the land, and it was not like there were no beasts in the water, but because the depths of Wasteland Town was inland and was not some kind of vast lagoon, even if there were some River Demons, they would not be able to create a climate, so he did not take it to heart.

Although the Qinshui was not big, the land that they passed through was far away. Along the way, they would also be met with other tributaries, and the River Goblin would be able to flow upstream from the downstream of the Qinshui or gather here from other rivers. This was the final calamity that happened to the River Goblin.

Furthermore, even if there really was a Great Demon in the water, he would naturally know how powerful the Xishan Village was and would not easily offend him. Therefore, the He Demons in the Qinshui were not considered a threat, even if the other villages were to follow suit this time, the He Demons might not be able to easily get their hands on them if they wanted to commit a calamity.

Even though he was not afraid, he could not stay in the Qinshui for long, and could not always hide within the village protection formation. Now that there is a River Demon hiding in the Qinshui, it is extremely inconvenient for the villagers to travel here, and even by expelling him today, they can come back tomorrow, and it would be hard to guard against. The reason for calling you back today is to see if we can come up witlan to solve this problem once and for all.

Yang Junshan was startled, and said: “What method do I have? At most, we can just clear it out along the river, and after we scare off all the river demons, it will be peaceful for a while. ”

Yang Tiangang said with dissatisfaction: “But that can only be quiet for a moment, after all, those River Demons might still be able to follow along the Qinshui and continue to invade the villages on both sides.”

Yang Junshan actually wanted to say that this was not a big deal, but after the great change, all sorts of dangers had emerged, and these types of people dying in just three days would become accustomed to all kinds of unexpected things. However, the words that came out of his mouth turned, and was swallowed back into Yang Junshan’s stomach.

“Looks like there really is no other way. We can only have the villagers be careful every day!”

At this time, Yang Junshan suddenly remembered a certain rumor from his previous life. It was said that after the great change of heaven and earth, many sect encampments were also affected by the attacks of the alien demonic cultivators, and various sects were unable to withstand the attacks, thus they used formation masters, blacksmiths, Spiritual Seeker s, and others to form Demon Suppressing Pagodas.

If the Demon Suppressing Pagoda was placed outside of the mountain gate or in a place where demonic cultivators roamed frequently, it would be able to deter the weaker demonic cultivators.

Although it might still attract the wrath of the high order cultivator s, fighting against high-level Demonic cultivators was still better than being harassed by low-level Demonic cultivators every day. Even traveling would become difficult for the disciples of the sect.

It was just that Yang Junshan did not have any idea how he should build the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, but it was said that he would need to kill and imprison at least a few True Demon cultivators.

“Oh yeah, a few days after you left, I received news from your seventh uncle that came back from the Sangzhou.”

Hearing that, Yang Junshan’s eyes lit up, and said: “Seventh Uncle sent a letter, how are they now, has Little Hao entered Ling Yizong, what cultivation level have they reached?”

After the Yang family consolidated their power and influence in the Wasteland Town, An Xia left with her family. He had Ling Yizong’s keepsake in her possession, allowing Yang Junhao to enter Ling Yizong’s cultivation, while Ling Yizong’s family in the Sangzhou was not any weaker than the sect that the Heaven-Shaken Sect had back then.

From the news that An Xia had brought back, her family had already settled down in a mountain village outside of Ling Yizong. Yang Junhao had already become a disciple of the inner sect and had long since broken through the martial arts realm not long after he had entered Ling Yizong’s place. Now, his martial arts realm had even advanced to the third level and he was even making preparations to attack the late stage of the martial arts realm.

Not only that, after Yang Junhao had been accepted into Ling Yizong and gradually received attention, with his help, An Xia had successfully broken through the bottleneck not long ago and advanced into the later stage of the martial arts realm. She had even successfully opened up Seventh Aunt Yang Tianyan’s dantian, who had not made any progress in her cultivation for many years.

After Yang Junshan finished reading the letter, he laughed: “The family of three all levelled up to martial arts realm, no wonder Seventh Uncle is so excited.”

Yang Tiangang nodded his head and laughed, then suddenly asked: “Are you planning to head north to Liang Zhou?”

Therefore, even though Yang Junshan did not say that he wanted to travel northwards, Lao Yang had already felt Yang Junshan’s determination and determination to makrip to the Liang Zhou.

Yang Junshan nodded: “I do want to go to Liang Zhou to try my luck, but at the same time, I also want to travel outside the Yuzhou to broaden my knowledge and experience.”

Lao Yang said with concern: “You have just offended the Snow Wind Sword Sect, but the Snow Wind Sword Sect is the number one sect. Their powers are intertwined and intertwined, and those two levels of Primary Magnetic Force have always been controlled by the various sects in the Liang Zhou.

Yang Junshan laughed, “Liang Zhou isn’t even one of his family, let alone the fact that the Arctic Icecap has long since left the Liang Zhou. Even the powers of the Snow Wind Sword Sect would find it difficult to reach that place.

Yang Tiangang knew that he had made his decision, and took out a jade bottle that was a foot long from the storage bag, and said: “Since you are determined to go, then let us first refine the things in this bottle!”

Yang Junshan stared blankly at the jade bottle in his hand for a moment, and said: “Isn’t this the storage bottle that stores the Power of the Heavens and Earth?”

Opening the jade bottle to take a look, Yang Junshan’s expression became even more surprised, and said: “Wutu Aura? Didn’t you manage to refine the Wutu Aura from last time? ”

Yang Tiangang laughed: “Of course I’ve already refined it, but I’ve just collected this bottle of Wutu Aura, so I’m afraid you don’t even know where you found it.”

Yang Junshan was indeed a little interested, and asked: “From where?”

Yang Tiangang laughed: “It is underneath the spirit vein found in Wasteland Town!”

Seeing Yang Junshan’s stunned face, Yang Tiangang continued to speak: “After taking away the Wasteland Town’s spirit vein, Xiao Xin found the scattered primordial energy at the location of the spirit vein.”

Yang Junshan’s expression became happy, and said: “So that means…”

Yang Tiangang smiled and nodded, then said: “That’s right, it is indeed a place where the primordial astral energy gathers. Although the energy released from the Astral Energy in the soil is extremely faint, it is still sufficient to gather such a bottle in half a year’s time.

Yang Junshan thought for a while, then said: “That is already extremely good, I hope this place that the Yuangang Energy has gathered at will last a little longer!”

Yang Tiangang laughed: “Xiao Xin said that the Astral Energy in this area is extremely weak, so it should last for a long time. She said that there’s no need to worry about the Astral Energy in this place disappearing for at least three years.”

Yang Junshan nodded with a smile, “That’s good. In three years, I can at least collect six portions of Wutu Aura, which is pretty good. Oh right, do I need to set up a formation there to prevent my Wutu Aura from dissipating?”

Yang Tiangang waved his hand: “No need, I’ve already used the array flag that you left for her. The hole’s surface area is extremely small, and Xiao Xin can handle it very well, so it’s better for you to hurry up and refine and fuse with this Aura of Earth. This time, when you go to Liang Zhou, you can increase your strength by one fold.”

If a Precious Techniques and Divine Powers was able to fuse with a Heavenly Handle that was more compatible with nature, its power would increase by one to thirty percent. The higher the degree of compatibility between the Yuangang and the sacred art, the greater the increase in power of the sacred art itself, but the increase in power would not exceed thirty percent.

Any external force has a limit to the cultivator’s own strength. The most important factor is the cultivator’s own strength, but even if there is a limit, it is still extremely important to the cultivator.

After completely merging, its power itself would increase by nearly thirty percent. Adding to the fact that the True Nine Deity Wind that Yang Junshan cultivated had an extremely high compatibility with the Earth Shaking Mountain treasured technique, it was even on a higher level compared to the Earth Shaking Mountain treasured technique. Aesult, this divine ability, which was ranked 253 on the Precious Techniques and Divine Powers Ranking, was able to unleash a considerable amount of power from Yang Junshan’s hands.

When it comes to the Great Desolation of Heaven and Earth, this time, we heard a piece of news on the magnetic mountain. It is that there are many different elements of the fire element in the volcanic magma lake formed by the Sunset Ridge, and the Great Desolation of the Heaven and Earth. Currently, the three sects are sending disciples to collect the Great Desolation of Heaven and Earth, so the Yang Family is naturally qualified to take a few positions from the Heaven-Shaken Sect.

When Yang Tiangang heard this, he was naturally moved, but he also had a troubled look on his face as he said: “It is naturally better to choose cultivators with similar attributes to collect this Power of the Heavens and Earth. In the lava lake, the scattered Qi of the Heaven and Earth is naturally fire attributed, but whether it is the Yang family or the other villagers, the number of people who practice fire attributed cultivation techniques are few in number.”

“No matter how high or low their cultivation level, there are a few of them. As long as they can collect as much as they want, then they can. Moreover, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth near the magma lake is tainted with a sliver of the fire element.”

After saying that to Lao Yang, Yang Junshan had decided to start his closed door cultivation to refine this Amethyst Earth Aura, but just as he entered the secret room at the belly of the mountain in the west mountain, Yang Junshan’s mind trembled. Even though his consciousness only covered sixty to seventy percent of the normal Adept Realm Cultivator, he was extremely sensitive and his perception was extremely high, so he could clearly feel that the density of spirit energy in the belly of the mountain had already reached the level of two spirit veins.

Originally, the Western Mountain’s Spirit Origin was slightly weaker when it was upgraded to one Spiritual Pulse. Later on, when the Wasteland Town’s Spirit Vein was drawn over, it would inevitably cause damage during the process.

Lao Yang saw the doubt in Yang Junshan’s eyes, and laughed: “This is a Spirit Origin Pearl that I spenuge sum for from dark market, after I fused with the Spirit Spring Water, the two spirit veins are almost fully formed.”

Yang Junshan was surprised when he heard it, “dark market? Mengyu County City changed hands twice, and the dark market inside still exists? ”

Yang Tian laughed: “Not only is it still there, but the business inside has become more and more prosperous. Whether it is the Opening Spirit School s or the Heaven-Shaken Sect s, after taking over the city, they seem to be extremely attentive to the nurturing of the dark market s. The transactions in the dark markere extremely frequent, and the quality of the rare treasures have also increased by a lot.

In the secret room, Yang Junshan suddenly took a deep breath, and a strand of golden colored natural energy flew from the jade bottle into his nose. After being refined slowly, it fell into his dantian, where it slowly condensed on top of the only sacred art stone in his dantian, causing it to increase in size by one size.

Beside the abhijna stone, a faintly discernable abhijna stone was also about to be completed condensed. This was the Primary Magnetic Treasure Light Technique that Yang Junshan cultivated in.

This Precious Techniques and Divine Powers was an extremely rare divine ability that required the help of an external object to cultivate successfully. Yang Junshan had long since pondered over it for many years, but unfortunately, he had always been stuck aoint where he was unable to find a suitable World Handle, making it difficult to succeed.

If the hill formed by the Dantian was the most intuitive manifestation of Yang Junshan’s cultivation, then the sacred art stone that was condensed on top of the hill was the most direct manifestation of the Earthshaking Mountain Art that Yang Junshan had mastered.

Now that the Astral Energy was slowly being refined, the size of the divine ability was also slowly increasing. This meant that the power of the divine ability was also increasing.

The speed at which Yang Junshan refined the Wutu Aura was extremely fast, from start to finish, he used less than a month’s time to completely refine it. Of course, if he wanted to refine it in the end, it would still requireriod of time.

After occupying the Wasteland and Wasteland, the Yang Family had already started to get back on track. Although the Yang Family still had a shallow foundation and lacked high level Martial Realm Cultivator, with the help of the two Spiritual Masters, the two towns were still firmly in the hands of the Yang Family.

Moreover, Yang Junshan knew that after the great change in heaven and earth, there was already a period of revival in the world of cultivation. In this period of time, the emergence of all kinds of cultivation resources and their output had greatly increased, causing the world of cultivation to experienceriod of high growth.

In fact, from the appearance of the Sunset Ridge’s mine to now, the size of the Ling Tian that had been expanded due to the presence of spirits, the appearance of the Spirit Source Land, the reappearance of the Spirit Vein Land that had originally been investigated, as well as the excavation of various other small mines, to the appearance of the place where the Great astral energy of heaven and earth had gathered, all of these pointed to this problem.

It was also because of this reason that Yang Junshan had strongly advocated for the Yang Family to take the initiative and gain control of the Wasteland Town from the start.

Because, only by expanding the area of influence as much as possible would it be possible for him to control as many of these new cultivation resources as possible during this recovery period. And with the support of sufficient cultivation resources, Yang Junshan’s originally shallow roots would quickly be filled.

It was a good thing that Yang Junshan still had a hidden move, and that was Hu Niu and Bao Yuer. Both of their cultivations had already reached the equivalent of the Great Perfection of the martial arts realm, and their combined strength greatly surpassed cultivators of the same cultivation level.

Because of the two’s secret efforts, the demonic beasts in both towns were basically under the control of the Yang family. Even if demonic cultivators infiltrated the towns, they could be found and expelled quickly.

In addition, Bao Yuer had also found traces of other Alien Cultivator s many times, which allowed the Yang Family to take measures to capture or expel them in time, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to infiltrate into the two towns.

After a few more days, Yang Junshan, who had already returned to the Xishan Village, quietly left the Xishan Village without anyone knowing and started his own trip to the Liang Zhou.

In order to avoid the various dangers lurking within the vast wilderness thousands of kilometers away from the northern part of Mengyu County, Yang Junshan chose to head east to pass through the Jinyu County and the great wilderness. After entering the Xi’an County, he would then choose to go all the way up.

Because of the existence of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s headquarters and the many years of operations, the internal affairs of the Jinyu County was relatively calm and peaceful. However, this feeling had completely disappeared after entering the Mengyu County.

Many villages that passed by all had traces of fighting techniques remaining on them. There were also many broken walls, rotting corpses of demon beasts, fallen cultivators could often see it, and in the forest fields, demon beasts with demonic aura could often be seen.

After passing through the Nanxuan swamp, Yang Junshan could clearly feel the aura of the Goblin that was hiding in the swamp. It was rumored that the Goblin King was known as the Demonic Lord Taize, and although its cultivation was extremely high, it was injured in the process, because it had been hiding in the swamp to recuperate and cultivate. It seemed extremely mysterious.

However, no one dared to look down on his strength. That was why the powerful Ma Family from back then in the Mengyu County was beaten up by him like a snake and was unable to recover. Finally, the Heaven-Shaken Sect found an advantage and extended their power to the Mengyu County.

There were also rumors saying that this Demon King Taize was most likely directly related to the fall of the Damascus seal Sect’s Adept Jiang Tao, and his injuries were most likely left behind at that time.

Furthermore, there should be a grudge between him and the Demon King Taize. If he was chased by this Demon King whose aura he had recognized, Yang Junshan would not have the ability to shake off a Demon Lord that was able to fight against the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

After going around Nanxuan swamp, and crossing the border and entering the Xi’an County’s territory not long ago, a battle suddenly happened and Yang Junshan was swept up in it.
