Chapter 43 – Family

In the end, Yang Junshan still could not take a Jade Coins from his father’s pocket, so Yang Tiangang easily overturned the agreement he had with his son.

Although Yang Junshan looked anxious on the surface, he was assured in his heart. Seems like his father’s harvest was not small, otherwise, he wouldn’t act shamelessly like him, it was obvious that he had reaped too many Jade Coins s, so much that Yang Tiangang felt that a child like Yang Junshan shouldn’t have so many Jade Coins s.

After a moment, Yang Junshan asked while in a measured tone: “Father, a few days ago, you went back to the Chenyu County?”

Yang Tiangang nodded his head, and continued to puff on the dry smoke in his mouth.

Yang Junshan asked again: “Did you tell them about the Rust Ore?”

Yang Tiangang nodded again, blew out a smoke ring, and said: “I told your uncle, after all, it’s just your mother and I collecting information is too slow. Your uncle has the identity of an outer disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, so his path is much wider than mine.

Yang Junshan nodded his head, and said: “We can be considered to have our own clan now, although uncle and your siblings, but he is still the eldest son of the eldest son of the Bluestone Town’s Yang family, so this matter is justifiably handed over to him. There is no reason even if they wanted to give us their name of being selfish, but father, are you sure uncle will inform the clan about this matter?”

Yang Tiangang once again silently smoked his pipe.

Yang Junshan continued to speak: “You are most clear about uncle’s temperament, it is impossible for him to not get the benefits when this matter comes to him, even if he notifies the clan about it, it will probably delay it, but child guesses that this time, uncle will not notify the clan, and will not wait for the benefits himself first.”

Yang Tiangang was finally no longer silent, and instead raised his head wituzzled look: “Nonsense!”

Yang Junshan laughed mockingly, and said: “Father has forgotten, recently, the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s examination for outer disciples has already reached the most critical juncture, and Big Uncle has been drooling over the identity of an inner disciple for a long time. If Big Uncle were to report the matter of the Rust Ore to Heaven-Shaken Sect, Father says that Big Uncle’s contribution can be considered as great, and wouldn’t be promoted to become an inner disciple because of it?”

Yang Tiangang was finally startled, and apparently, he had already thought of this possibility, sighed, and said: “Your uncle is doing this for the family’s own good, after all, if you become an inner disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, after reaching the high level of martial arts realm, you will be bestowed the《 Earth Shrouding Treasure Arts》, which is a cultivation technique one stage higher than the《 Earth Shrouding Spirit Art》 passed down in your family.”

Yang Tiangang paused for a moment, then continued: “The Yang Family’s inherited cultivation technique was derived from this set of treasures. Back then, when your grandfather’s cultivation reached the peak of martial arts realm, it was precisely because the《 Covering Earth Spirit Art》 was not high enough, he repeatedly collided with walls during the attempt to break through the realms of life, and the last time he forcefully broke through was him falling into a demonic state on the spot.”

However, he remembered that it was an extremely strict old man. If Yang Junshan’s grandfather was still alive, Yang Tiangang would definitely not come to the Chenyu County to start his own family.

“Your grandfather had always wanted to become an inner disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and it would bity to not be able to learn the《 Earth Shrouding Treasure Arts》. If your uncle can successfully become an inner disciple, it would be considered as having fulfilled a wish for your grandfather. If your uncle can truly become an inner disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect in the future, the Yang family would have the qualifications to inherit the《 Earth Shrouding Treasure Arts》.”

Yang Junshan was bitter: Let’s just hope that when the time comes, he will not forget about you, the brother who helped him!

Yang Tiangang became silent again. If his elder brother Yang Tianchen had been able to stand by his side all those years ago, even if he didn’t have his father supporting him, he wouldn’t have come to this remote Tuqiu Village in such a miserable manner.

Just then, Yang Tiangang suddenly spoke out: “Today, when I was returning to the village, I heard from your Uncle Tie Niu that Xu Lei has also refined a mid ranked immortal spirit, and reached the Great Circle of Spiritual Summoning.”

“Oh!” Yang Junshan did not care about this at all, regardless of whether it was Zhang Huzi or Xu Lei, as long as these people had some achievements, they would be inferior to their fathers.

Yang Tiangang saw that Yang Junshan did not care and knew what he was thinking, but his son was actually refining a high grade Celestial Spirit Qi, and his body tempering technique was even more suspected to be of high grade. From the start, Yang Tiangang had already surpassed them by a large margin, but what he wanted to say was something else: “Xu Sanniang has already informed the villagers, and after Xu Jing has completely refined the Celestial Spirit Qi, she will stand up for Xu Lei and Xu Jing.”

Although the two of them were only twelve or thirteen years old, this kind of thing was common, but Yang Junshan still laughed: “This Xu Sanniang is worried.”

Yang Tiangang also laughed: “The moment this Xu Jing breaks through the third stage of the Divine Spirit Aperture, there iigh chance of her giving birth to a different talented technique, according to what that inner sect cultivator Chen Ji said. At that time, Heaven-Shaken Sect will very likely take her in as an outer disciple, if she does not decide to take this wife as her wife now, then she might lose her respect for her son.”

“I’m afraid it’s more than that!”

Yang Junshan added: “Although this Xu Sanniang is surnamed Xu, her son still has a father with a different surname. Therefore, even though Xu Sanniang is well-informed in the Xu family, but her son is not well regarded in the Xu family. The marriage between Xu Jing, who became a genius of the Xu family in one fell swoop, and her own son is definitely going to dispel all doubts in the Xu family, and pave the way for her son to inherit the Xu family’s head.”

Yang Tiangang repeatedly nodded his head, obviously feeling gratified that his son was able to see this floor. However, when he talked about “son-in-law”, Yang Tiangang suddenly thought of something, and said: “Your seventh uncle is coming to our house as a guest in a few days.”

“Really?” Yang Junshan’s face revealed joy, but he thought of something immediately after, and asked with a deep voice: “Is it because of the matter regarding the distribution of the land?”

Yang Junshan’s seventh aunt, Yang Tian Yan was her grandfather’s little brother, and was also Yang Junshan’s fourth grandfather’s, Yang Jiao’s eldest daughter. The Bluestone Town Yang family had risen to prominence in Yang Junshan’s grandfather’s generation.

After Yang Lie became an outer disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, he started to build the Yang family with his three siblings. In order to capture the protection of the Bluestone Town, Yang Lie married the widowed daughter of a realms of life elder, and obtained the help of this elder, successfully making the Yang family’s Prominent Class.

Even so, the Madame Yang’s foundation was still shallow. In order to pull back their family’s power, the Yang Lie siblings had set an extremely strict family rule: All girls with talent in cultivation in Madame Yang, after they become adults, are not allowed to marry, and are only allowed to marry!

In order to comply with this family rule and set an example for the younger generation of Madame Yang, Third Aunt Yang Yan set an example and took the lead to find a husband who was extra rich.

Yang Junshan’s seventh uncle, An Xia, was rescued by Fourth Grandfather Yang Jiao when he was walking in the cultivation world in his youth. While the Bluestone Town was recuperating, he and Seventh Aunt Yang Tianyan were in love, but unfortunately, the clan rules of the Madame Yang forbade women from marrying.

When An Xia was recuperating, Yang Tiangang and An Xia were naturally compatible, and the two of them became best friends. For this, Yang Tiangang had once asked his father Yang Lie for permission to marry Seventh Aunt. Unexpectedly, he was scolded like hell.

Later, An Xia could not endure Seventh Aunt’s pleas, and in order to repay the Yang Family for saving her life, she forced herself to become’s son-in-law.

After the wedding, Yang Junshan’s Seventh Uncle would often travel abroad, and within the family, he rarely returned home. Sometimes, he would even take Seventh Aunt out for sightseeing activities to enjoy himself, and other than still having a good relationship with Yang Tiangang, his relationship with other people was extremely indifferent.

In the past, when Yang Tiangang came to the Tuqiu Village to establish himself, only Seventh Uncle was able to escort his family all the way to the Mengyu County. On the way, Seventh Uncle told Yang Junshan about all the things he had seen and heard during his travels, which greatly widened Yang Junshan’s horizons.

Seeing Yang Tiangang nod his head, Yang Junshan then asked: “Then how should we divide the Ling Tian, Father, do you havlan in your heart?”

Yang Tiangang changed a pot of tobacco and used his hands to hold it in place. After blowing on it, a small flame flew out from his mouth, and after landing in the middle of the pot, the tobacco quickly ignited. He placed the smoke into his mouth and let out two “pa da” sounds, following that, he blew out the smoke as he said, “Seventy percent, then the three acres of Ling Tian will be split into seventy percent!”

“How much?” Yang Junshan was immediately exasperated. “Only seven points? If it were not for father being the host, where would the Tuqiu Village have gotten three acres of Ling Tian? How much energy have you invested in these past three years? In terms of contribution, our family will get at least an acre! ”

“What do you know!” Yang Tiangang shot him a glance and said: “Do you know how many families there are in Tuqiu Village? And how many of these families had Spiritual Farmers? How many had Ling Tian and no Spiritual Farmers? And how many have Spiritual Farmers s but no Ling Tian? ”

“Forget about our family not being able to get an acre of new Ling Tian, even if the Xu family takes uhird of the population of Tuqiu Village, Xu Sanniang would at most propose a share of an acre of Ling Tian, which might not even be enough.”

“Our Lao Yang family only has three families in the village. Adding to the few families in the village that are close to us, seven acres of Ling Tian’s share is already the highest according to the proportion of their heads. This includes the two portions of Ling Tian that we promised to Baozhang’s child.”

However, Yang Junshan blinked his eyes at this time, and said: “Father, have you ever thought of moving some Madame Yang clansmen over here with you? Don’t be in sucurry to refuse, I already know that you have a few buddies whose relationship is comparable to Uncle Tie Niu and Uncle Qing Niu. Now that you have taken up your position in Tuqiu Village, why not encourage them to move from the shadows?
