Chapter 332 - Conflict

The departure of An Xia’s family caused Yang Tiangang to be busy for even longer periods of time everyday, and had even started to affect his normal cultivation!

With regards to An Xia leaving at this time, although Yang Junshan could understand and perhaps would do the same himself, in terms of emotions, he still felt that he was somewhat blaming this Seventh Uncle.

Yang Tiangang had a group of loyal subordinates in the Wasteland Town who would support the Yang Family wholeheartedly. However, there was no problem with the loyalty of this batch of people, but there were only a few who could be trusted and could help.

Yang TienNiu, Yang QingNiu and Yang Tianzhu were all considered as the children of Yang Tiangang, but if the three of them didn’t have limited abilities, or if their innate talent was limited, it was already extremely difficult for Yang Tiangang to advance to the martial arts realm with his help.

Besides, besides Zhang Tie, the other two of them were not very ambitious. If they were asked to work together, they would only be asked to report to Zhang Tie.

Although Lin Chengsi had a good relationship with him, he was more like a guest official in the Yang family. Normally, besides assisting Yang Junshan in defending the village protection formation, he would focus on teaching him Spirit Seeking Secret Techniques.

Han Xiumei was originally a suitable candidate. As Yang Tiangang’s wife and with a cultivation at the second level of martial arts realm, he was qualified to handle most of the things in Xishan Village.

However, although Han Xiumei had some cultivation, ever since sshe married Yang Tiangang, he had only been teaching a couple and rarely went out. She did not have enough experience, so she also did not have the ability to deal with things.

As for Wu Shuo and Jiu Li, the two of them were still a big problem, not to mention that the two of them were not interested in interfering with the Yang Family’s business.

At the same time, there was also Bao Yuer. This little girl’s background was even more bizarre than Wu Shuo and Jiu Li, Ghost Clan people could be considered to be one of the most mysterious races in the cultivation world, not to mention that this little girl had become Hu Niu’s undead ghost.

After counting, it seemed that only Su Baozhang was left. As Yang Tiangang’s disciple, Su Baozhang had received a lot of support in the past few years and his cultivation had improved very quickly. After crossing the threshold of martial arts realm first, he had once again stepped into the second level of martial arts realm this year.

Furthermore, this fellow can be considered to be honest and not lacking in power, he had received a great kindness from Yang Tiangang since he was young, and was also a native of the Xishan Village, so he was a good candidate.

In fact, before An Xia left, Su Baozhang had already been trying to do something. However, due to his age limit, Yang Tiangang was still unable to leave many routine matters for him to handle in peace.

In reality, there was still another candidate more suitable than Su Baozhang as Yang Tiangang’s assistant, and that was Yang Junshan himself. As Yang Cunzheng’s eldest son, as well as Xishan Village’s young Village Head, and the Yang family’s young patriarch, as expected. Whether it was Yang Junshan’s cultivation or identity, or the knowledge and experience that he had gained in his past life, he was the best person to replace An Xia and leave behind.

In fact, Yang Junshan had once offered to do something a while back, but Yang Tiangang rejected him in the end. In his opinion, compared to dealing with the complicated matters of the Wasteland Town, Yang Junshan should focus more on cultivation.

However, during this period of time, his second brother Yang Junping had been ordered by his father to train him so that his feet wouldn’t touch the ground. Other than patrolling the Wasteland Town’s wild Ling Tian s, he had also received the task of coaxing the peasants to cultivate the various Ling Tian s in the Wasteland Town.

In Yang Tiangang’s words, it meant that the ancestors had been eating the food of farming Ling Tian s for generations.

Fortunately, this brat was very smart and had a bunch of brothers under him to listen to him. He only gave out orders and completed the task after a short while.

As Yang Tiangang’s son, he naturally had youths of the same age surrounding him to curry favor with him. As Yang Tiangang’s son, he would naturally have people of his age circle around to fawn upon him to flatter him.

However, as his cultivation increased, as well as the intelligence and strength he displayed in the midst of danger, it made those of the same age as him feel as if a mountain was being pushed up. As Yang Junshan’s cultivation increased step by step, the awareness between him and his peers grew, and it often caused these people to keep their distance from him.

In addition, perhaps it was because Yang Junshan had experience from his previous life, that he was too precocious and calm, like a forty plus year old middle-aged man. The passion and hot-bloodedness of a young man was hard to see in him, causing others of the same age to find it difficult to get close to him.

“Dad, you’re looking for me?”

Yang Junshan received Lao Yang’s notification and went down from the top to the bottom, arriving at the Town Hall. Currently, Yang Tiangang had already become the new guardian of the Wasteland Town, so this office naturally left the Xishan Village.

However, as a Prominent Class family who controlled a small town, Yang Tiangang could completely move the location of the office back to the Xishan Village. It was just that, since it was a new guardian, he still needed to stabilize the situation in the Wasteland Town aransition.

Yang Tiangang pointed to his seat, signalling for him to sit down, then fiercely stretched and said: “How’s your cultivation? Initially, I didn’t want to disturb your cultivation, but father has too many matters at hand, and Wasteland Town is becoming more and more restless. The neighboring villages on both sides have already had several conflicts, and all of them have requested for reinforcements. ”

“Has it finally come?” Yang Junshan’s spirit was roused as he said, “Father, should I rush to the boundaries of the two towns?”

“No, go to Sunset Ridge!”

Yang Tiangang waved his hand, immediately rejecting Yang Junshan’s suggestion. He then explained wituzzled look: “Do you still remember that before the appearance of the Sunset Ridge’s cave, there was news that a large spirit material mine existed underground?”

Seeing Yang Junshan nod his head, Yang Tiangang continued to speak: “Sunset Ridge has already formed a huge crater, but perhaps because the big formation of the underground cave was destroyed, this mine that was initially hidden underground was now completely exposed.”

At this time, Yang Junshan had already guessed what Lao Yang wanted him to do, and asked: “Is the branch family branch that we recorded at the county magistrate court being coveted?”

After the discovery of this vein, the Heaven-Shaken Sect, Sirius Gate and the others had all fought over it, and an intense border war had even broken out, while the Mengyu County, in order to win over the Mengyu County’s support, had promised that the villages that the Martial Realm Cultivator s would participate in the border wars would all choose their own branches to mine.

Since Yang Junshan had received the news in advance, he had made sufficient preparations in the process of searching for the mine. Furthermore, because he had just opened the Sunset Ridge’s cave abode, the underground talisman formation loosened and allowed Lin Chengsi to find an extremely high quality branch vein.

Yang Tiangang nodded his head, and said: “For the time being, I don’t have it, but it’s about time. Because of the change in the Sunset Ridge, the subterranean vein and its branches are even clearer, and the quality, reserves and types of the mines can be easily probed.

Because of luck, some strong and lucky villages chose barren mines, while the weaker ones had pretty good luck. Not only did they manage to find a rich vein, but the grade of the spirit materials in the spirit mines weren’t low either.

This way, there would naturally be people who were unwilling to do so. A powerful village was not easy to rob because of the promises made by the county magistrate; however, it was hard to prevent this from happening in secret.

It was not like there were none that could be compared to the tyrannical powers in the Xishan Village, not to mention that they were not afraid of thieves and they were afraid of thieves and not to mention that the rise of Yang family had unavoidably stirred up the interests of others. It was hard to avoid people who disliked the Xishan Village and would secretly cause trouble for him.

In fact, in the past few days, near the mines that Xishan Village was digging, there had been many unknown people wandering around the mine day and night. It was because Lin Chengsi, who was leading the mining operation, was vigilant that he sent people to ask for help.

Yang Junshan could not help but ask: “Then what spirit material raw ore did this lode of ours produce, and how are its reserves?”

Yang Tiangang chuckled, and said: “Our luck is not bad, the branch we found is extremely close to the main vein of the Sunset Ridge, and based on the reserves that we have, it should be an accompanying vein. Furthermore, according to Lin Chengsi’s initial judgement, it should be a mine with two spirit materials, a middle grade magical beast and a low grade raw ore, which is probably worth no less than the cold mountain vein at the rear of the mountain!”

Oh, right, other than Old Lin who is in charge of the mining, the Blacksmith Zhang is also there.

Yang Junshan was startled, and asked: “What is he doing there?”

Yang Tiangang snorted, and said: “Don’t forget, this vein iart of the Xishan Village, not a part of the Yang family! Furthermore, although Blacksmith Zhang was not able to become a Refiner when he was young, he still had a certain level of understanding towards the mining and identification of spirit mines. In some aspects, he is even stronger than Spiritual Seeker like Old Lin.

On top of the yellow clouds in the azure sky, Yang Junshan helplessly sighed: “Looks like flying as fast as lightning really isn’t suitable for people who cultivate the Earth Elemental Art.”

After he had completely adapted to flying through the air, he saw that he was already more than halfway there. Yang Junshan intentionally descended from the sky, and then walked towards the Sunset Ridge at full speed.

Aill that was only a few kilometers away from Sunset Ridge, Lin Chengsi anxiously looked at the group of people that had swarmed in from outside the mine. At the same time, Blacksmith Zhang brought the villagers of Xishan Village to confront the group of people.

“People from the Wasteland Town,” the leading gloomy-looking Martial Realm Cultivator sneered, waved his hand behind him, and said fiercely, “Hit him!”
