When they were almost to the south of the village, Yang Junshan suddenly realized that if he were to appear at Peng Shitong's Opening Ceremony of the Ling Dan, the entire population of Xishan Village would not be looking at Peng Shitong, the newly advanced alchemist. Instead, they would be cheering for him, the guardian of the Xishan Village.
It was clear that Yang Junping had put his heart into holding such a ceremony specifically for Peng Shitong. Yang Junshan did not want to fight over the host.
Although Yang Junshan reacted and quickly left, the news about Yang Junshan coming to the south side of the village to attend the furnace opening ceremony quickly spread throughout the entire Xishan Village. However, when everyone was waiting anxiously, they discovered that Yang Junshan did not appear at all.
Although the villagers were a little disappointed, Yang Junping heaved a sigh of relief. At this time, the pill fragrance coming from the temporary pill house built for Peng Shitong was getting stronger and stronger. Yang Junping quickly turned everyone's attention back to Peng Shitong.
The Spirit Rank pellet Peng Shitong refined this time was called the solid Ling Dan, it was a type of auxiliary Ling Dan used by cultivators to strengthen their dantian after they advanced into the Martial Stage.
The quality of this kind of Ling Dan could not be considered high, and the difficulty of refining it was only slightly better than the Spirit Rank pills used to heal injuries or to recover qi. However, the proof to be used as an apprentice alchemist was enough.
The fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger. Many of the villagers, who were not from Madame Yang, greedily inhaled the aroma which contained a certain amount of spiritual energy into their stomachs, causing Yang people to secretly mock them.
The pill furnace was the pill furnace that Yang Junshan had found in the Sunset Ridge. The Pill Fire was the oil lamp that Yang Junshan had found in the ruins of the Heaven Shaking Peak.
In fact, Peng Shitong had already been out for a period of time, and under the personal guidance of her teacher, Kong Deliang, she had refined three batches of Ling Dan s, but the success rate was not high, and the difficulty in refining the Ling Dan was also very low. Furthermore, it was not something that she had completed on her own from start to finish.
However, Peng Shitong also knew that Kong Deliang being able to be taught to her was already the best of the best. After she graduated, she would have to leave the Great Cauldron Hall.
"The furnace is open. Quiet!"
The villagers who were waiting outside the pill room immediately became silent. At this time, the door to the pill room was opened, and Peng Shitong was sitting cross-legged in front of a three foot tall giant pill furnace. He raised his hands and the heavy pill furnace cover slowly rose up.
The surrounding crowd immediately cheered. As long as a Ling Dan was successfully refined, it would mean that Peng Shitong had truly stepped into the realm of alchemy.
Peng Shitong waved his hand and the Ling Dan flew back into one of the jade bottle that was already prepared in her hand. Then, he saw her wave her hand and a second Ling Dan flew out from the pill furnace, causing the villagers to cheer once again.
Unfortunately, just as everyone was looking forward to her refining the third Ling Dan, the pill furnace's lid slowly fell off and the pill fragrance that filled the air was also gradually dissipating.
Although everyone still felt like it, but for a cultivator at the entrance of the alchemist stage, being able to refine two Ling Dan in one furnace was already considered normal. Under Yang Junping's unsparing efforts, they gave waves of cheers to the first clan alchemist of Yang Family.
In all honesty, Peng Shitong's pill refining talent could only be considered average. With a 20% success rate, she was far inferior to those true pill refining geniuses. Her ability to become a pill refiner depended more on her own hard work.
Her innate talent could only be considered average, not to mention that she was still cultivating the half of the "red lotus with heart fire" that Yang Junshan had passed down to her. Logically speaking, the better the cultivation of the Cultivation Method, the more emphasis on raising the foundation, thus, the cultivation speed would not be too fast. But now, she had already advanced to the second level of Martial Stage.
On the other side, after Yang Junping's instigation, he took advantage of the villagers' excitement and announced that the competition would be held in seven days. All cultivators under the age of eighteen who had not reached the Martial Stage could sign up to participate.
"In this competition, those who can enter the top sixteen, regardless of whether they are direct descendents or disciples from other clans, will receive Cultivation Method, a reward of fifty Jade Coins, and a reward of one month's worth of cultivation in the Western Mountain."
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard it, especially the disciples from the side branches of Yang Family, they were all rubbing their fists and filling their palms with fighting spirit. Even Yang Qinzhang, who was a direct descendant like him, had started cultivating his Spirit Rank and techniques from the beginning, and was very excited about the rewards of being awarded fifty Jade Coins s and being given a month's worth of training in the Western Mountain.
Ever since Yang Junshan established his village protection formation, only Martial Stage cultivators from the Madame Yang were able to enter the Western Mountain to cultivate, or those at the peak of the Mortal Realm who were about to open their dantian. The rest simply did not have the qualifications to enter the Western Mountain.
The denser the cultivation environment, the more useless and harmful it was for the cultivators of the low level. Under the management of the father and son duo, the concentration of spirit energy in the Western Mountain's Spiritual Source grounds became even denser, and the more cultivators of the low level could not casually enter and leave the Western Mountain.
Furthermore, the Western Mountain was the key to controlling the entire village protection formation. Not only were there many restrictions on the mountain, but it was also filled with traps.
As a result, when they heard that only the top sixteen could enter the Western Mountain to cultivate, the young disciples of Madame Yang all became excited.
However, Yang Junping's reward was not only this. He continued: "If you can enter the top eight, you will be rewarded with a hundred Jade Coins, a bottle of Fa Yun Dan, and you will have to cultivate for two months."
Everyone exclaimed again. However, at this time, they all knew that Yang Junping would definitely have another reward announced next. The Imperial Censor quickly quieted down.
Unexpectedly, Yang Junping suddenly stopped talking, and stood there, as if he was listening attentively. Just when everyone was confused, Yang Junping suddenly laughed: "As for the top four, the original reward was three hundred Jade Coins s, three bottles of Fa Yun Dan, and a period of three months from the west mountain. Now, we need to add a Spirit Martial Spirit Pill, and then we can enter the family treasury to pick any one of the three spirit materials for Rules Rank!"
This time, no one cried out in alarm. They were all stunned!
A Spirit Martial Pill was the only type of Spirit Rank pill that could be used on Mortal Realm, and there was only one type of effect, which was to help cultivators open up their dantian and advance their Martial Stage.
Even though the Spirit Martial Pill was only a Spirit Rank pill that Mortal Realm cultivator could consume, it was because it was something Mortal Realm cultivator could consume that made it even harder to refine. One must know that Mortal Realm cultivator did not have the powerful physique and cultivation of a Martial Stage cultivator, so he was able to suppress the impact brought by the huge amount of spirit energy contained within the Spirit Rank pellet.
Therefore, although the starting point for consuming the Spirit Martial Pill was low, the quality of the pill itself was extremely high. At the very least, Peng Shitong currently did not have the ability to refine this kind of Ling Dan.
Furthermore, with a single Spirit Martial Pill, it would be able to increase the success rate of Mortal Realm cultivators by thirty percent. Adding on the efforts and foundation of the cultivators, it was practically guaranteed that they would be able to enter the top four.
As for the three types of Rules Rank and spirit materials, they could also greatly shorten the time a cultivator needed to gather spirit materials and refine natural magic tool.
"As for Clan Cultivator, who can enter the top two, other than the five hundred Jade Coins s and five bottles of Fa Yun Dan rewards, in the future, when he advances into the Martial Stage, he will receive a clan's tool as a reward. The second place will receive one low-grade magical tool as a reward, and the first place's cultivator will receive one medium grade tool as a reward!"
"At the same time, these two are qualified to enter the clan's Inheritance Pavilion and choose a set of spiritual inheritance to train in!"
There was a careful cultivator who discovered that when Yang Junping announced the first four rewards, there was a period of silence before announcing that the rewards were much stronger than before. Thinking about the earlier news that Yang Junshan had already left seclusion and went down the mountain, everyone naturally understood that it was Yang Junshan who had temporarily increased the rewards and informed Yang Junping.
After announcing the schedule and arrangements for the Family Competition, Yang Junping found Yang Junshan in private and said with a wry smile, "Brother, the reward this time is too high. In the future, the Family Competition will always be held again, and with this example, it will not be easy to decide on the reward next time. We can't always be as strong as this time, can we?"
Yang Junshan smiled and said, "These are all trivial matters. Let me ask you, how has the family's strength increased over the past two years?"
Yang Junping thought for a moment and said, "There has been an increase of two Martial Stage cultivators, but they are all aged cultivators, and with the help of the rich spirit energy they have accumulated over a long period of time, they have advanced to the next stage, so they won't have much potential in the future. There is also second brother, Uncle Tie Zhu, Uncle, Little Sister, and Shi Tong who have advanced to the second stage of their Martial Stage, not a single one has advanced to the second stage, but there isn't a single tenth sister Jun Qi who has advanced very quickly, and as for late stage of their Martial Stage, there aren't any."
The potential of the second and third generation of Yang Family are almost used up, so there's no need to talk about the elders of the second generation who lost their spirit a long time ago. The talent of the fifth generation Jun Cheng and eighth generation are limited and they are able to advance their Martial Stage, which is good enough for the eleventh generation. Only you, BaoZhang, tenth sister, junior sister and Miss Peng have room for improvement, and as for Qian Hai, Bao Liang, they are not much better off than Lao Er and the sixth generation.
