Chapter 194 – Gifts

Every Yang family member who came to Xishan Village knew what Yang Tiangang and his son wanted to do. They were willing to follow Yang Tiangang and his son to establish a new Yang family in Xishan Village.

Yang Tienu’s words were definitely not flattery to Yang Tiangang and his son, but to the hearts of almost the entire Xishan Village.

As for Yang Junshan, his gaze was fixated on Seventh Uncle An Xia, who was happily chatting with Xu Sanniang and the rest outside the formation. They were walking down the mountain together, and it was unknown what was going on behind An Xia.

After a moment, Yang Junshan suddenly asked, “Uncle Tie Niu, how much is left in the West Bank’s cave?”

Yang Tieniu was stunned, he said: “Last time, after secretly bringing back a batch with Seventh Young Master, there is still about half of the supplies left.”

As he said this, Yang Tieniu couldn’t help but exclaim: “Originally, when I first followed San Ye into the cave, I felt that the materials inside were like a mountain, it was probably enough for the entire Xishan Village for three to five years. Who would have thought that in these few months, I already used up half of the things inside? But now that the inner formation has been completed, Lin Chengsi’s earth vein exploration was not yet completed, and from what I heard, he said that there is still another modification to the spirit source, using around 60 different spirit materials, and it still hasn’t been completed?

Yang Junshan could not help but reveal a wry smile, and nodded: “Yes!”

Yang Tieniu exclaimed, “Doesn’t that mean that half of the supplies in the cave are already insufficient?” “If you really don’t know who is in charge and who doesn’t know how expensive the firewood is, then if San Ye didn’t take these things out, then wouldn’t it just be our Yang family’s things? It would really be a bargain for these villagers with another surname!”

Yang Junshan instructed: “Up till now, the other Martial Realm Cultivator s in the village, thought that the cultivation materials used were all plunder and rewards given to us by Fei Xiu the Sky Wolf, I have always been unwilling to let them enter the pomegranate forest. The other important reason is that I do not want them to deduce from the large amount of cultivation materials we have expended, that we have other sources of materials.

Yang Tieniu said, “Don’t worry, every time we go to the cliff cave, we have to be extremely careful when carrying goods. From this point, Seventh Uncle still has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, he can always transport a large amount of supplies without anyone noticing.”

The two of them talked as they walked into the Spirit Spring Cave, and as of now, the Spirit Spring Cave had been greatly expanded. Other than the Spirit Spring Water, which was the birthplace of the Spirit Spring at the center of the cave, there were many other caves around, and each of them had opened four to five large stone chambers that served as warehouses for cultivation resources. At the same time, there was a long corridor that led downwards into the depths of the mountain.

Yang Junshan pointed to a few stone rooms that were specially used for storage of cultivation resources, and said: In the past, we used to move most of the resources in the cave to find whatever we lack, and we even went as far as to look for, afraid that it would attract attention if we move more, and sometimes we even have to stop our tasks that were being done just to wait for the arrival of the cultivation materials, and now that it is almost the first month, when everyone will be busy preparing the New Year’s goods, there will definitely be a lot of carriages and horses on the road, and taking this chance, we also thought that our clan members will use the New Year’s goods to bring back a large quantity of materials back to the cave. I feel that the cave is not safe, whether it is Changsun Family or not going to give up these cultivation materials.

Yang Tieniu nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I and Tie Zhu will handle this matter.”

All the families of different sizes in the village were busy preparing for the new year. The carriages and horses from the village to the town hall and even the county road basically did not stop for the last ten days of December.

Basically, there were one or two large carriages entering and exiting the Xishan Village every day, and I heard that every clan member of the Madame Yang will receive quite a large amount of year goods during the new year. There were also rumors that the large carriages were to be sent to the Chenyu County, Yang family’s ancestral home, and there were also many large carriages that were sent from’s home, and I heard that they were also the year goods sent by Lao Yang’s family.

This caused the people of Xishan Village to be greatly envious, but at the same time, they could not help but secretly curse: Separated by such a long road, if you send me a few large carts of New Year’s goods, I will send you a few large carts of goods and materials. What’s the point in coming back and forth, since no one is taking advantage of anyone, it would be better to just not send them, and also avoid wasting time on the road.

However, what they didn’t know was that while these carriages were coming and going, the remaining materials from the Cliff Cave on the west bank of Jinxi City had been secretly transported to the pomegranate forest’s Spirit Spring Pavilion and stored away.

Just when the last large goods transport carriage had returned to the Xishan Village, it was already the 29th of the 12th month. On this day, Yang Junshan originally wanted to go to the various families in Yang family on Yang Tiangang’s behalf to distribute the New Year goods that they had bought together. However, at this time, Yang TienNiu and Yang Tiezhu rushed over excitedly, and called him over to the side.

Yang Junshan asked in confusion, “Uncle Tie Niu, Uncle Tie Zhu, did something happen?”

Yang Tie-zhu gestured to Yang Tie-niu beside him and said, “Your cultivation is high, go ahead.”

Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, “Today, after cleaning up the last batch of supplies in the cliff cave, when your Uncle Tie Zhu and I were about to leave, we found a small and exquisite array on the ground.”

“Formation?” Yang Junshan asked somewhat curiously.

Yang Tieniu nodded and said, “It’s not just the array, if not for a bunch of Jade Coins dropping and shattering a few pieces on the ground, and the scattering spiritual energy coincidentally activating the array, we wouldn’t have noticed that there was actually a hidden array on the ground.”

At this time, Yang Tiezhu also said, “Uncle Tie Niu and I feel that this array is hiding something, but we don’t know anything about array formations and we don’t dare to forcefully break it. Won’t we come back and tell you, you’re an array master, you’d better go take a look!”

At night, Yang Junshan rode his Hunchbacked Beast alone and quietly left the Xishan Village. He sprinted all the way to the border of Jinxi City and Jinyu County and found an extremely secretive cave under a cliff on the west side.

This cave was only five feet tall, and an adult had to bend over to enter. What was even more amazing was that more than half of the cave was submerged in water, and only when a person had stepped into the cave, would they discover that there was an inclined passage leading to the inside of the mountain.

This was the secret place used by the Changsun Family to hide cultivation resources. Now, it was completely empty, it was obvious that Yang Tieniu and Yang Tiezhu had “cleaned” this place.

According to Yang Tienu, Yang Junshan had arrived at the southwest corner of the stone room. The ground here looked no different from any other place, but the spirit sense that Yang Junshan had gathered after folding and merging was much sharper than the spirit stones used by cultivators of the same cultivation level.

With a light stamp of his feet, spirit essence entered the ground. With a “weng” sound, a faint light flashed on the ground, but the instantly formed diagram allowed Yang Junshan to see through the essence of the minute formation.

Unexpectedly, two formations became one, such an exquisite method of setting up the array obviously meant that the person who laid the array had the same level of skill as Yang Junshan!

Yang Junshan had a trace of surprise on his face as he slowly squatted on the ground. These two formations were the Concealment Formation, used to hide things or people. It waype of illusory formation that was widely used in the cultivation world.

As the name implied, if the formation touched them, it would immediately self-destruct. Although the power of the formation would definitely not harm the current Yang Junshan, it was still very easy to destroy the things that were hidden within the formation. It was not very difficult to destroy this formation.

However, this Jade Fragment Array could be considered a common method to hide things in his previous life. Thus, it was something that cultivators who had mastered the art of theft would focus on. Although breaking it was much harder than concealing it, there was still a way.

But although Yang Junshan knew the method to break the Jade Fragment Formation, he did not know about the inheritance of the Jade Fragment Formation. Fortunately, the formation was only at the array level, so Yang Junshan could use this opportunity to try to get his hands on the inheritance.

The opening of the concealment array was extremely easy. One had to pay attention to the fact that these two formations were fused together. If one were to trigger the Jade Fragment Array during the opening of the concealment array, then all previous efforts would have been for naught.

Yang Junshan thought about it and took out a few pieces of frosty white glass stones from the storage bag s. They were called Frosted White Stones, a kind of medium quality spirit materials that he had obtained from Fei Xiu the Sky Wolf. Then, he carefully laid a small formation around the formation again, called the Rapid Freeze Formation.

After working hard for most of the night, during the process of Yang Junshan dismantling the Jade Fragment Formation, he finally understood the entire process of the formation. Only then did he finally see what was hidden under the formation …

On the second day, the excited Yang Junshan finally made it home before New Year’s Eve dinner. This year, guarding the New Year’s Eve Yang Tiangang did not come out, and so Han Xiumei and Yang Junshan were the only three siblings.

Seeing her big brother return, Yang Junxin immediately complained, “Daddy is not here, brother is also so late, how bad is it!”

Yang Junshan laughed: “Haha, the reason why big brother came back so late was to find a new year’s gift for little sister!”

Yang Junping who was at the side suddenly stretched his head over and asked: “Brother, what gift is it, is it mine?”

Yang Junshan pushed his head over with a slap, then took out a white jade board from the storage bag in his bosom and said: “Look, what’s this?”

Yang Junxin was currently in the second stage of the Mortal Realm, so she was able to recognize that the white jade tablet in her brother’s hand waecording medium, and skillfully injected a small amount of spirit energy into it. Immediately, the contents recorded on the white jade tablet were activated, and the beginning of the tablet had four large words: “Eternal Spring Spiritual Arts”!
