Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather-Chapter 1316 - 852: Alchemy with True Sun Fire

These two cultivation techniques have been neglected for many years, and now they finally have a place where they can be useful.

"Heart Sword Scripture" and "Heart Hand" are both Sword Cultivator techniques.

One emphasizes controlling the sword with the heart, while the other focuses on controlling the sword with Spiritual Sense.

The former places more emphasis on the mindset, while the latter on technique.

When paired together, they complement each other well.

It’s a pity that Yang Zhenshan does not cultivate the Sword Dao, so he has always left these two cultivation techniques to gather dust in the warehouse.

Meanwhile, Li Janning and Li Jian’an are seeds of Sword Cultivation. The techniques they obtained from the Transmission Hall back then were all related to Sword Cultivation.

The three techniques are "Sword Heart Clarity Scripture," "Hidden Blade Nine Skill," and "Nine Transformations Sword Skill."

Both received the exact same techniques, identical, without any difference.

Yang Zhenshan speculates that their cultivation technique inheritance is most likely similar to that of Hidden Sword Mountain.

Hidden Sword Mountain’s inheritance comes from an Ancient Relic Array, and it is reasonable that they were able to obtain the same techniques in the Transmission Hall within the array.

Especially "Hidden Blade Nine Skill," which is the hallmark of Hidden Sword Mountain.

"These two techniques go well with the cultivation techniques you’re practicing, and you should cultivate them diligently in the future!" Yang Zhenshan advised patiently.

"Sword Heart Clarity Scripture" similarly emphasizes the mental state, proving the Dao with the sword, and controlling the sword with the heart.

"Sword Heart Clarity" means no impure thoughts and no hindrance to the sword.

Unlike "Heart Sword Scripture," "Sword Heart Clarity Scripture" also emphasizes the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, using heaven and earth as the sword, and all things as the edge. An accomplished person can casually use a willow twig as a sword, with Sword Qi sweeping across thousands of miles.

On the other hand, "Heart Sword Scripture" only emphasizes the mental state, where sword is heart, heart is sword, with no self and no sword, and a single thought can cut through everything.

Yang Zhenshan is unsure if these two techniques are compatible, but he believes there must be commonalities between them.

As for how the two little girls’ future cultivation paths will unfold, it’s up to them.

The master leads the way, but cultivation relies on the individual.

As a master, he can guide disciples, but cannot interfere too much because the Immortal Path emphasizes enlightenment, and what one can realize is entirely up to oneself.

One can learn from others’ paths, but should never mistake them for one’s own path.

"Master, we will work hard to cultivate!" Li Janning said obediently, holding the Jade Scroll.

Yang Zhenshan reached out and gently ruffled the hair of the two little girls.

This is the advantage of having young disciples; as long as they are taught well, they won’t grow crooked.

Yang Zhenshan has taught many disciples, from Lin Zhan and Yun Qiao to seven Immortal Cultivator disciples today. Although each person has a different personality, they all respect their master and understand the importance of courtesy, justice, integrity, and honor.

"Go and see what your teacher has prepared for you as a reward!" Yang Zhenshan said with a smile.

"Yes, the disciples take their leave!" The two little girls formally saluted and took their leave.

Watching them leave the study, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but laugh to himself.

Interrupted by them, Yang Zhenshan no longer felt like looking at useless annual reports and turned to enter the Quiet Chamber to cultivate.

Having been in Foundation Establishment for fourteen years, now his cultivation is still at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment, but compared to seven years ago, his Mana has strengthened several times.

The improvement of Mana is gradual, and Yang Zhenshan is very patient in cultivation, without any impatience.

According to his estimation, he may need another ten to twenty years to touch the bottleneck of Early-stage Foundation Establishment, which means he will need to spend twenty-five to thirty years in Early-stage Foundation Establishment.

This cultivation speed is actually not slow; Master Jing Shui spent fifty years to touch the bottleneck of Early-stage Foundation Establishment, and then another ten years to breakthrough from Early-stage to Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

By comparison, the time Yang Zhenshan spent is only half of his.

Compared to the improvement in cultivation, Yang Zhenshan’s progress in Spells over the past seven years can be considered rapid advancement.

The simplest Vine Skill has already been cultivated to the Transformation Realm, and the most difficult Qinghua Thunder Skill, he has nurtured the second Qinghua Thunder Pearl.

Nurturing two Qinghua Thunder Pearls at the same time, although it will slow down the nurturing efficiency, it allows him to have a second chance to release the Thunder Pearl.

The initial Thunder Pearl has been nurtured for nearly twenty years now; it is Yang Zhenshan’s most powerful attack method, and he would never use it unless absolutely necessary.

The second Thunder Pearl, although only nurtured for five years, already possesses considerable power.

Every time Yang Zhenshan nurtures the Thunder Pearl, he can clearly feel the violent thunder force within the Pearl.

After cultivating for two hours, Yang Zhenshan slowly opened his eyes, two inch-long blue glints shooting out from his eyes and disappearing instantly without a trace.

"The cultivation has advanced slightly again, not bad!"

Yang Zhenshan smiled and got up, walking out of the Quiet Chamber to the front hall, where he saw the two little girls still pestering Yu Qingyi.

He did not go forward to disturb them but instead dashed into the Pill Hall of Flame Mountain.

At this time, Flame Mountain had changed dramatically. Many pavilions were built on the mountain, the most numerous being Artifact Refining Rooms and Alchemy Rooms.

With the development of Spirit Source Land, the number of Alchemists and Artifact Refiners in Spirit Source Land has been increasing significantly, coupled with the development of Yang Family Town over the years, the Elixir industry and spiritual weapon industry of the Spirit Source Land have developed rapidly.

Now there are more than three hundred Alchemists at Flame Mountain, all capable of refining Spirit Pills, and there are even more Artifact Refiners, totaling over five hundred.

And among them, more than a dozen have even reached the Second-Order.

It’s easier to train Martial Arts Alchemists and Artifact Refiners than Immortal Path ones; as long as they are given enough mineral resources to practice and possess certain talents, becoming Alchemists and Artifact Refiners is not difficult.
