Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

"""

At the end of April, Yang Zhenshan went to the Offering Institute to collect this year's salary, a True Essence Pill.

This year, the Imperial Hospital was a bit lazy. In previous years, the True Essence Pills were refined in March, but this year it was delayed until the end of April.

After obtaining the True Essence Pill, Yang Zhenshan hid in the Spiritual Spring Space and took the pill.

In the simple house, Yang Zhenshan lay on a soft couch, eyes slightly closed, his mind immersed in the circulation of True Qi within his body.

Once the True Essence Pill entered his stomach, Yang Zhenshan immediately felt a massive amount of True Qi being generated in his acupoints, which entered the meridians and circulated rapidly.

As the True Qi circulated, he felt his body expanding, but the sensation of expansion only lasted for a little over two hours before it disappeared.

When he opened his eyes, the effects of the True Essence Pill had already passed.

Stepping off the couch, Yang Zhenshan stretched out his hand and with a thought, a verdant green grass immediately sprouted in his palm.

The grass was lifelike, even the veins on the leaves were crystal clear.

However, Yang Zhenshan still shook his head slightly, "Still not enough, it's far too lacking, sigh~~"

This was the third True Essence Pill he had taken, equivalent to adding nine years of cultivation. Including his three years of cultivation, that meant he had added twelve years of cultivation in these three years.

However, the cultivation of Innate Martial Artists isn't calculated by years. True Essence Pills only enhance the accumulation of Innate True Qi.

The accumulation of Innate True Qi could only allow him to quickly pass through the stable period of entering the Innate stage and reach the Qi Controlling level, but to reach the Ruwei stage, he still needed meticulous cultivation.

Yang Zhenshan walked out of the house and looked at the eight Spirit Plants beside the courtyard, his face immediately showing a brilliant smile.

Eight Spirit Plants, four Three Yellow Plums, two Star Origin Fruits, and two Ice Heart Fruits.

Among them, the largest was the Three Yellow Plums, which had now grown over ten feet tall. Normally, Three Yellow Plums take twelve years to bear fruit, but in the Spiritual Spring Space, their growth rate is much faster. Yang Zhenshan estimated that the Three Yellow Plums might bear fruit this year.

Calculating the time, this largest Three Yellow Plum had been planted for six years.

Star Origin Fruits take thirty years to bear fruit. Even if they grow faster in the Spiritual Spring Space, it will still take at least a decade or so.

As for the Ice Heart Fruits, Yang Zhenshan looked at the two pear-tree-like Ice Heart Fruit Trees with joy in his eyes, as the Ice Heart Fruits had actually blossomed this year.

Ice Heart Fruits bear fruit every three years, producing only eighteen fruits each time. Yang Zhenshan never expected that the Ice Heart Fruits could bear fruit in just three years of growth.

However, that's not quite right, three years of growth in the Spiritual Spring Space might correspond to five or six years of growth outside.

In any case, this year the Ice Heart Fruits will definitely bear fruit.

One Ice Heart Fruit can be used to refine one Jade Bone Ice Heart Pill. Previously, Xue Qiaoer gave him three Ice Heart Fruits, and he refined one Jade Bone Ice Heart Pill, which he consumed himself.

Well, the effect made his skin tenderer, younger-looking, and also had the effect of purging and rejuvenating meridians, although this effect wasn't very significant for him.

Becoming younger, Yu Qingyi was curious for a long while, and Yang Zhenshan felt too embarrassed to tell her the truth.

He's just an old man, what does he need to be young for!

If Yu Qingyi knew, she would definitely complain that he didn't share such good things with her.

Women have some fixations on appearance.

Especially since Yu Qingyi was also no longer young, already in her forties, although she still looked like she was in her early thirties, but Yu Qingyi still felt somewhat upset about the prospect of aging.

If he could refine the Jade Bone Ice Heart Pill again, Yu Qingyi would definitely be very happy.

However, Yu Qingyi should also be close to breaking through the Innate Realm, estimated within the next one or two years.

Three years, three Three Yellow Plums, Yang Zhenshan gave one to Yu Qingyi, one to Ding Qiu, and one to Yang Mingcheng.

Ding Qiu and Yang Mingcheng's cultivations had both reached Half-step Innate, the only regret was that Yu Qingyi still couldn't break through the Innate Realm.
