Chapter 263 - Nurturing Wounds

So that’s how it was!

Yang Junshan’s expression suddenly changed, no wonder both in his previous life and now, the three counties, and their borders all becamot of porridge, the three forces all paid a heavy price, so they wanted to fight for the hidden mixed spirit vein.

But then, Yang Junshan became suspicious, in his previous life, the news about the mixed spirit vein had never come out, could it be that this mixed spirit vein was fake in the end?

However, Yang Junshan rejected this idea in the end, because in his previous life, the conflict between the three forces had also continued, until the sudden collapse of the Heaven-Shaken Sect.

After the fall of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, the huge Yuxian had suddenly fallen into chaos. All the different powers of the Yuzhou had been busy fighting for the power gap left behind by the disappearance of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, so a mixed spirit vein mine was naturally unworthy of their attention.

However, in his previous life, the three forces had always been at the border, and had not heard the news of the Heaven-Shaken Sect taking over the Opening Spirit School’s stronghold in one go, and pushing the actual area of control further south.

The direct effect of this change was that, because the Opening Spirit School had meticulously built a stronghold that was owned by the Heaven-Shaken Sect, a large portion of the entire Sunset Ridge had fallen into the jurisdiction of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and the spirit mines underground had the conditions to be mined.

Seeing the expression on Yang Junshan’s face, a look of admiration flashed across Liu Zhifei’s face, and then he said in a low voice: “Good, Little Yang, you should know, although this mixed spirit vein is of a variety of spirit mines, its reserves are extremely large, and besides the main vein, there are also a lot of other scattered branches, and these would not be mined, because it would not be worth it, but these scattered branches will not be abandoned, thus, Junior Master Chen has already requested the sect to agree to hand over some of the scattered veins to the Mengyu County to excavate on their own, at that time only a third of it is required to be returned to the county!”

Yang Junshan suddenly raised his head, only to see Liu Zhifei smiling, and said: “Xiao Yang, by now, even the three tyrants of the Mengyu County, Xiong, Ning and Yu, have yet to know about this news, I, as your brother, have more or less, understood the matters of the Xishan Village, the power Yang Cunzheng is currently controlling is not inferior to that of the Prominent Classes, so you can consider it as having the upper hand, so you don’t need to speak anymore for your brother?”

By this time, Yang Junshan had basically understood the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s next possible move. It was nothing more than dividing the possible regions that had scattered branches and handing them over to the various factions in Mengyu County to choose for themselves. That would depend on their luck and preparation.

Now that Yang Junshan knew about this, he was able to make preparations in advance and even hire Spiritual Seeker to take the lead in investigating possible areas. They could try their best to find the best looking and the highest reserves, the scattered mine veins.

At the same time, they had to build a good relationship between the upper and lower branches of the Mengyu County and clear up the channels. Once the feast that was to be divided started, even if the Xishan Village was not able to take down the best branch, at the very least, he could still take the better mines.

Almost every village would be attached to a single vein. Among the six counties of Yuxian, although Chenyu County’s Spirit Plant industry was not developed, it was still the richest place in the Yuxian.

The Mengyu County, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. Although the land was vast and sparsely populated, the size of the Ling Tian was still not as good as the’s, who was first place. Even if it wasn’t the bottom of the six counties, it was still second to last place.

After the Xishan Village merged together, although the village had two low grade alternative mining veins, but these two mining veins were both poor, with low quality and low yield, but even so, the entire Xishan Village still viewed them as treasures, and although the reserves of the middle grade spirit materials mining vein that Jiu Li discovered were not low, they did not dare to openly mine, and now, Yang Tiangang could only secretly send the s of the Yang Family to mine. With the Martial Realm Cultivator digging, this entire mining vein was probably the only one in the entire Mengyu County.

Now, if he was able to obtain a share of the Sunset Ridge’s mixed spirit vein, his Xishan Village would definitely experiencapid development. Now, Yang Tiangang was ambitious to rebuild the Yang family and wanted to upgrade Xishan Village to a Prominent Class.

Liu Zhifei had calculated that he was not willing to let go of this opportunity, and once Yang Junshan agreed to it, it would mean that the Yang family was already standing with Liu Zhifei, and had become Liu Zhifei’s supporting faction for the competition to be the direct disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect.

Although the combined power of the entire Xishan Village could only be compared to that of a Prominent Class, and the Yang Family was far from being as powerful as it was, Yang Junshan had absolute confidence in this matter, and Liu Zhifei was obviously optimistic about the Yang Family’s new power.

Yang Junshan tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: “Senior Brother Liu, should you tell me about the challenges you are facing, and how our Yang Family should support Senior Brother Liu in competing for the position of direct disciple?”

Liu Zhifei laughed: That is only natural, but after this battle, brother has a 70% chance of becoming the direct disciple, this was all thanks to Little Yang’s formation, but in the end, this is not the place to discuss things, look, someone from my side has already come to ‘reinforce’ me, does Little Yang want to meet them?

Yang Junshan saw the taunting smile on the corner of Liu Zhifei’s mouth and followed his gaze. Three rays of light flew over from the sky, and those who were able to rush over using such a flying technique were naturally cultivators at the late stage of the martial arts realm.

Yang Junshan frowned, and said: “Senior Brother Liu, it is better for them to not meet. After all, this is a dispute between you two seniors, and it is not beautiful for me to stay here!”

Liu Zhifei seemed to be aware of Yang Junshan’s worries, smiled, and said: “Alright, but Xiao Yang, are you leaving now?”

An unnatural flush flashed across Yang Junshan’s face, and he said: “Senior Brother Liu, the great formation that I have set up was blown apart by forty to fifty Martial Realm Cultivator s. If it weren’t for the explanation from Senior Brother Liu, how long do you think I would have been able to endure the backlash like this?”

Liu Zhifei’s expression froze for a moment, and then he said apologetically: “You’re injured, how are your injuries?”

Yang Junshan sighed, and said: “I estimate that I will need to recuperate for two to three months!”

“That long?”

Liu Zhifei frowned, it was clear that Yang Junshan’s heavy injuries was outside of his expectations, he thought for a bit: “Since your injuries are so serious, I will go to junior brother Zhang Yue Ming and geealing pellet, it can shorten your recovery time, and I won’t hide it from you, Little Yang, I can’t leave third team without a formation master like you!”

Yang Junshan said helplessly: “Senior Brother Liu, it is not only because of my injuries, this time, I want to go into closed door cultivation foeriod of time to properly comb through my cultivation!”

Liu Zhifei looked surprised, and said: “Your cultivation is about to break through? You’re not even twenty yet, are you? ”

Yang Junshan laughed embarrassedly, and said: “It’s all due to luck, I had some fortuitous encounters before, and experienced many life and death battles at the border. However, I never thought that my cultivation would increase so much!”

Liu Zhifei nodded his head and agreed: “A life and death battle is indeed the best way to stimulate a cultivator’s potential and increase their cultivation by leaps and bounds. In fact, since brother’s current cultivation has already reached the bottleneck of the fourth stage, the reason why I haven’t broken through yet, is to wait for the final result of the sect’s direct disciples!”

… ….

Yang Junshan left the Sunset Pass along witortion of the injured cultivators from the other three squads. However, before he left, Yang Junshan saw the unnatural expressions on the faces of the three inner sect disciples who had rushed over to support him, as well as the ridiculing expressions of Liu Zhifei and the other two.

Although both sides in the battle were limited to the Martial Realm Cultivator s, everyone knew that this waule set by the Yuzhou s. In the battles between the s, there were very few cases where the realms of life were involved, firstly, there were usually very few Adept Realm Cultivator s, and secondly, once the Adept Realm Cultivator was in conflict with someone, it would often implicate them, which usually meant that there would be no end to the battle between the s.

However, the reason the battle at the border between the three counties had sucuge impact was not only because the Heaven-Shaken Sect had used a sneak attack to pull out the Opening Spirit School’s stronghold, but also because during the battle, the Heaven-Shaken Sect had won a complete victory against two people!

Especially after the battle at the Sunset Pass, not only did the three small border guard teams of the Heaven-Shaken Sect block the continuous attacks of the six small teams of the Opening Spirit School, they had also caused half of the enemy’s troops to die. Two of the late stage martial arts realm cultivators had also died, and the two small teams of the Opening Spirit School which had been completely annihilated during the last stronghold were the most disastrous losses that the Yuzhou had suffered in the past decade.

It was said that after the battle, the Mengyu County made the Adept Chen extremely happy, and after going through many complicated procedures, he recommended the inner sect disciple who led three small teams to the sect to be the direct disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and also obtained the recognition of several Adept Realm Cultivator s in the sect.

The entire Mengyu County was extremely lively right now, and almost everyone was interrogating and discussing the news that came from the border. However, all of these news and comments were not paid attention to by Yang Junshan, who, in the name of recuperation, once again returned to the Xishan Village, left the borders of the three counties, and escaped the disturbance caused by his array formation that led to the victorious entrance of Sunset Pass.

At this moment, he was focusing on recovering his injuries. He was also focusing on his cultivation and reflecting on his experiences at the border during this period of time.

In fact, if Liu Zhifei and the others could give him more time before the Sunset Pass, he would have been able to set up another broken jade array in the great array formation. Even though he had only controlled a single array formation, he could still activate it when the array formation was broken.
