The Sacred Leaves Family's Wishes for Peace-Chapter 59 Searching for the Spiritual Spring

"How’s the development of the wasteland fields behind the family’s mountain progressing?"

Yun Yunyang asked, glancing at Yun Yunfeng, who was seated below him.

"Elder Brother, the land has been fully reclaimed. I’ve already instructed people to plant tea trees there so that our family can sell tea leaves in the future," Yun Yunfeng replied.

Since being admonished by his elder brother, Yun Yunfeng had been working hard to bring about meaningful changes in the family.

His growth and transformation were evident to the entire clan, and as a result, he had been entrusted with managing the reclamation of wasteland fields.

"Take some time to lead a team into the mountains to search thoroughly. See if you can find a spiritual spring and devise a way to channel its water into the reclaimed fields.

In the future, the Yun family cannot rely solely on planting tea trees and selling tea leaves for income," Yun Yunyang instructed.

"Spiritual spring? Elder Brother, what is that?" Yun Yunfeng asked, confused.

"The old Daoist mentioned it—a source of water specifically used to irrigate spiritual fields and nourish spiritual plants.

I’m considering whether we can locate such a spring to support the creation of spiritual fields for our family. These fields could then be used to cultivate spiritual rice and other spiritual plants," Yun Yunyang explained calmly.

Over the past few days, he had discussed many aspects of the family’s situation with the blind old Daoist.

The primary issue was that the family lacked any cultivation-related crafts or trades capable of generating spiritual stones.

The blind Daoist had pointed him toward a solution: find a spiritual spring in the Yunzhang Mountains, and channel its water into the reclaimed fields.

With time, the irrigation from the spiritual spring would transform ordinary wasteland into spiritual fields, and mundane soil into spiritual soil.

Once this was achieved, the family could use these spiritual fields to grow spiritual rice and plants, which could then become a source of cultivation resources and a means to earn spiritual stones.

"Elder Brother, do you think the mountain has one of these spiritual springs?" Yun Yunfeng asked, his tone serious.

"It should. The old Daoist said that our family’s location in the Yunzhang Mountains lies atop a natural spiritual vein.

Where there is a spiritual vein, there will be a spiritual spring. The mountains will also likely have spiritual plants and herbs nourished by the vein’s energy.

Didn’t Yunxun find spiritual herbs in the mountains a few months ago? That proves this point," Yun Yunyang replied with a smile.

"I understand. I’ll organize a team immediately to search the mountains," Yun Yunfeng said.

"No need to rush. The mountains are full of tigers and leopards. Wait until your second brother returns, and have him lead the clan soldiers to escort you.

Also, bring along Yunxun. He’s knowledgeable and can recognize spiritual herbs. I believe he’ll also be able to identify a spiritual spring," Yun Yunyang instructed. Explore stories on novelbuddy

"Understood. I’ll make the arrangements," Yun Yunfeng said, nodding.

"Yunyang-xiong! Yunyu-xiong and the others have returned!"

Yun Yunrui entered the ancestral hall, smiling as he delivered the news.

"Haha! We were just talking about him, and now he’s back!" Yun Yunyang laughed heartily and immediately led the clan’s senior members outside to welcome them.

"Second Brother!"

"Elder Brother!"

Yun Yunyu stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting.

"How was it? What did you see on your trip to Yulin County? Tell me all about it," Yun Yunyang said warmly, his curiosity piqued about the sights of the cultivation market they had visited.

Not just him—Yun Yunfeng, Yun Yunrui, and the other senior members of the Yun family were equally eager to hear about the cultivation market.

"The cultivation market was truly breathtaking, Elder Brother. Come, let’s sit inside, and I’ll tell you all about it," Yun Yunyu said.

"Very well."

Once seated in the ancestral hall, Yun Yunyu recounted everything he had seen at the cultivation market in meticulous detail.

"This time, we sold that whisk for a total of ten low-grade spiritual stones. However, the ferry to and from the cultivation market cost us eight low-grade spiritual stones, so we were lucky to make a profit of two stones," he explained as he handed the pouch containing the spiritual stones to his elder brother.

Before their journey, his elder brother had given him twenty low-grade spiritual stones to see if they could purchase a pill recipe.

Unfortunately, they hadn’t been able to buy the recipe and had almost lost their lives.

Thankfully, they had escaped unscathed and even earned two additional spiritual stones during the trip—an unexpected silver lining.

"We couldn’t find the pill recipe Yunxun wanted, not even at the cultivation market," Yun Yunyu added with a hint of regret.

"It seems that finding a skill to sustain a family’s livelihood is not an easy task," Yun Yunyang sighed after hearing his second brother’s report, his expression tinged with disappointment.

"There’s one more matter I need to discuss with you, Elder Brother," Yun Yunyu said.

"What is it?"

"It’s about the conflict we had in Yulin County with one of the Yulin Wang Clan’s affiliated rogue cultivators."

Yun Yunyu recounted the events involving Wang Linyue in great detail, leaving out some of the more harrowing dangers they had faced.

Nevertheless, his account left Yun Yunyang, Yun Yunfeng, and the other senior members of the Yun clan wide-eyed, their faces growing increasingly serious as they listened.

"Fortunately, Immortal Master Li intervened on our behalf. Otherwise, the Yulin Wang Clan would have caused us immense trouble."

Yun Yunyu then relayed his conversation with Li Qing word for word to his elder brother.

"Our family owes Immortal Master Li a tremendous debt of gratitude."

"Indeed," Yun Yunyu nodded solemnly.

Without Li Qing’s mediation, it was unlikely that he, Yun Yanshuang, and the others would have survived their ordeal in Yulin County.

Given the Yulin Wang Clan’s terrifying influence, they could have easily dispatched a powerful cultivator to wipe them out.

If that had happened, the deaths of the two spirit-root disciples would have shattered the Yun family, reducing their newly risen cultivation clan to nothing.

Worse, it might have even led to the clan’s annihilation.

The mere thought of it sent a cold chill down Yun Yunyu’s spine.

"Immortal Master Li’s advice was spot on. Although his mediation prevented the Yulin Wang Clan from pursuing the matter against our family, the fact remains that it was our Yun family who killed one of their affiliated rogue cultivators.

Even with Immortal Master Li’s intervention, the Yulin Wang Clan is unlikely to be completely appeased."

"So, Elder Brother, what do you plan to do?"

"In a few days, I will personally visit the Yulin Wang Clan, bringing some modest gifts as an apology to preserve their face."

"As expected of you, Elder Brother. Immortal Master Li even predicted that you would choose to do this," Yun Yunyu said with a knowing smile.

"Hahaha! Immortal Master Li is someone I deeply respect. Interacting with him feels natural and comfortable. Perhaps our principles for dealing with people and situations align.

If money can resolve a problem, then avoid direct conflict as much as possible. After all, money lost can be earned back, but if a person is lost, everything is gone," Yun Yunyang said with a laugh.

Hearing this, Yun Yunyu nodded in silent agreement, admiring his elder brother’s wisdom and composure.

"By the way, I’ve instructed our third brother to organize a team to search the mountains for a spiritual spring to irrigate the wasteland fields behind the family’s mountain, turning them into spiritual fields suitable for cultivating spiritual rice and plants.

Take some time to rest within the clan. In a few days, you will lead a team of clan soldiers to escort your third brother and the others into the mountains to search for the spring."

"Understood," Yun Yunyu replied.

"Good. You must be exhausted from your trip to Yulin County. Go rest for now. I’ll call you if anything comes up," Yun Yunyang said.

Inside a closed room, Yun Yanshui placed two storage pouches on the table, surprising Yun Yanshuang.

"Brother, are these from Wang Linyue and Mu Zizhao?" she asked in astonishment.

She knew her brother had been hiding outside Wang Linyue’s residence during the conflict. It was his arrow that had killed Mu Zizhao, allowing her to rescue their second uncle and divert Wang Linyue’s attention.

If not for her brother’s timely intervention, she might not have had the opportunity to ambush Wang Linyue and enable Yun Yantian to decapitate him.

At the time, fearing complications, Yun Yanshuang had used the Speed Talisman to escape with her second uncle and Yun Yantian, leaving no time to scavenge Wang Linyue and Mu Zizhao’s belongings.

Fortunately, her brother had been clever enough to sneak into Wang Linyue’s residence after she left and retrieve their storage pouches.

"Of course!"

"You’re so sneaky!"

"How is this sneaky? I was just cleaning up the battlefield for you!" Yun Yanshui retorted, half-joking, as he used his spiritual sense to open the two storage pouches on the table.

From within, he pulled out several spiritual stones, pills, and herbs, as well as a purple crystal about the size of an adult’s fist. It was translucent and gleamed like amethyst.
