Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 132 – Gradient

Yang Tiangang thought it was funny when he heard it, and said: “Child, you are getting more and more outrageous. He is the dignified Adept Realm Cultivator, the Xiong Family’s Patriarch, how can the position of the County Magistrate be changed so easily?”

“That may not be so!”

Yang Junshan knew that he couldn’t explain this matter to him, so he smiled and changed the topic, and said: “This child has experienced a lot during this trip to the Nanxuan swamp, and there is one thing that father will definitely be interested in,..”

Yang Tiangang answered with a “En” and interrupted Yang Junsha: “Speaking of Nanxuan swamp, your fourth uncle mentioned something. He said that the people of the Tan Xi Sect were attacking the cultivators of the Heaven-Shaken Sect in the swamp, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, do you know about this?”

Yang Junshan laughed: “Not only does this child know, I participated in the entire process!”

After he finished speaking, Yang Junshan gave Yang Tiangang a general overview of what had happened within the swamp, and said: “What I am talking about is that Xue Ziqi is actually the spy of the Tan Xi Sect, and furthermore, he had once attempted to order others to assassinate the last disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, Zhang Yueming. And that Xue Ziqi is even more so the biological son of Spiritual Master Wang Qian, Xue Sheng.”

Yang Tiangang said: “Are you saying that in order to obtain the Chenyu County’s order, Spiritual Master Wang Qian did not hesitate to collude with the Tan Xi Sect to create trouble at the Chenyu County and forced the current Celestial Spirits to leave?”

Yang Junshan nodded his head and said, “Now that both Zhang Yueming and Zhang Yueming have returned to the Heaven-Shaken Sect alive, this matter might turn into a mess.

Yang Tiangang silently smoked two mouthfuls of smoke, but in the end, he still shook his head and said: “At most, it will delay the time for Spiritual Master Wang to take office. That Spiritual Master Wang Qian must have plotted for a long time in order to obtain the Chenyu County’s order, at least he had come to an agreement within the Heaven-Shaken Sect.

Yang Junshan laughed sinisterly: Then why don’t we spread the news and secretly increase the commotion?

Yang Tiangang thought for a moment and said, “That’s still possible. Although death cannot be proven, at least the current county magistrate wouldn’t not make use of this opportunity to spread the news. Even if he can’t stop Spiritual Master Wang Qian, at the very least, he can make Xue Sheng unable to stay in the Guardian’s seat.”

Just like in his previous life, little sister Yang Junxin’s aptitude was still not high nor low, and at the same time, the three families of Lao Yang that had returned to Tuqiu Village with him werotal of seventeen people.

It was also on the same day that someone secretly heard the rumors of the Tan Xi Sect’s gossip in Ore Town about how he had colluded with the Stone Tower to kill Xue Zizi, the genius cultivators of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and Xu Jing. At this moment, it was spreading like wildfire throughout the entire Chenyu County.

After hearing this, he immediately reported it to the Heaven-Shaken Sect, asking if it was true or false. The next day, Xue Sheng, who had just taken over Stone Town as guard, was stripped of his duties as guard, and was escorted back to the Heaven-Shaken Sect by the cultivators of the Heaven-Shaken Sect Courtyard.

Following that, the Heaven-Shaken Sect immediately launched a search on the Tan Xi Sect’s spies in Fangshi Town. However, after several days, they still came up empty-handed, and in the end, the matter was left unsettled.

After Yang Junshan heard this, he secretly sighed, he never thought that Heaven-Shaken Sect’s control over the base level of the Yuxian was already this loose, then Yan Qinxi and the rest were obviously powerful inside the Tan Xi Sect, but after going through the search, even if they caught a few suspicious people, they could not do it, the Qi inside was not right.

However, what made Yang Junshan even more uneasy was that Zhang Yueming and the others had already brought the snake tide back to the Nanxuan swamp, but then, several Martial Realm Cultivator s organized by the Chenyu County entered the swamp to kill the mud snakes. In the end, they did not even find a single snake.

According to the news that Yang Junshan had obtained from him, the merchants who were travelling through the swamp and the two counties in the town became lively again. Furthermore, from the news that these people had brought back, the number of mud snakes in the Nanxuan swamp had decreased by a lot and they were also a lot safer.

At this time, Yang Junshan had already reached Chenyu County City, and the city was still bustling as before, but Yang Junshan had a feeling that a storm was brewing, and the bustling city looked likavilion in Yang Junshan’s eyes.

When he turned left and right in the mortal gathering area, Yang Junshan finally came to the front door of the house where the two goats were eating lotus roots once again. When Ouyang Xulin saw Yang Junshan, his expression was even more excited than Yang Junshan.

“All the spirit materials have been prepared?” Ouyang Xulin could not wait and asked.

Yang Junshan nodded, and laughed: “What, you’re in more of a hurry than me?”

Ouyang Xulin sighed: “Are you speaking nonsense? However, I am truly worried. If you had come half a year later, I may not be here anymore. ”

Yang Junshan casually asked: “Oh, the Ouyang Family is urging you?”

Ouyang Xulin shook his head: “It’s more than just urging, I really want to tie me up and bring me back, but I plan to go to the Heaven-Shaken Sect. With the protection of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, the Ouyang Family would not be too overbearing, if I can help you cultivate your magical equipment, I think that the Heaven-Shaken Sect will think even more highly of me.”

Yang Junshan took out a fist-sized stone from the cloth pouch at his waist, and said: “I got this thing!”

The moment Ouyang Xulin saw this stone, his eyes immediately lit up. He said in pleasant surprise: “Tian Huang Shi, could it be that you want me to start refining mid-grade spirit artifacts?”

Yang Junshan’s face suddenly turned long as he said, “Don’t even think about it. You didn’t even manage to refine a single low-grade magic tool, and you only think about refining a middle-grade magic tool? If I were to really give you this piece of Tian Huang Stone, would you dare to refine it? ”

A tinge of regret appeared on Ouyang Xulin’s face as he said, “Refining, why would I not dare to refine it? As an artificer, regardless of whether I succeed or not, at the very least I will dare to refine it myself!”

Yang Junshan finally understood how this fellow’s reputation came about in his previous life, and hurriedly put it away, then took out the Heaven Glaze Mud and Spirit Transformation Crystal, and said: “There’s no problem if you want to refine a mid-grade spirit artifact, first refine my low-grade spirit artifact. In the future, this piece of Tian Huang Stone will be handed to you to continue upgrading my spirit artifact.”

Ouyang Xulin looked at it in his hand and said: “The Heaven Melting Mud is red in color, and this is also a medium quality spirit material. Originally, you had already made the preparations to upgrade this spirit artifact a long time ago, but with this medium quality Heaven Glaze Mud as a medium, it will be much easier to raise the quality of the spirit artifact based on the foundation you have in the future.”

Yang Junshan nodded, and asked: “When will it start, and how long do you think it will take to successfully refine it?”

Ouyang Xulin looked left and right, then waved his hands: “We can start right now, let’s go!”

As he walked, he said, “Since you are going to use this magic tool as your personal magic tool, then it would be best for you to participate in the refining process as well. At the same time, because it is best not to be disturbed while refining, you are required to stand by my side to protect me, but you are only a cultivator of Mortal Realm, so it is useless for you to stand guard.”

Yang Junshan sighed helplessly, and said: “Fortunately, you still remember to ask forotector. I also thought that you were going to start refining in Chenyu County City in broad daylight!”

Yang Junshan leaped up the wall of the small courtyard, and every so often, he would place an array symbol on the wall of the small courtyard.

Ouyang Xulin was sizing him up in shock, and said: “I didn’t think that you were actually proficient in array formations, please excuse me!”

Yang Junshan laughed and said: “The refining activity is too big, and will inevitably attract the attention of others, so it’s better to be careful around him. The formation formed by the formation runes is called the ‘Chaotic Formation’, it was originally an invisible formation, but now, I can’t change this room of yours and your courtyard into nothing, but it can still cover up some of the strange sights and auras during the refining process.”

Ouyang Xulin nodded, and said: “It seems that you are still the one who thinks it through thoroughly. It looks like you aren’t completely ignorant about refining.”

Yang Junshan laughed, and then started to dig along the side of the walls in the courtyard again, and would place a few items within from time to time. Ouyang Xulin had a history of learning, and knew that these were all array laying tools, thus he said in shock, “Formation at the center of the formation? What formation is this? ”

Yang Junshan took a glance at the center of the courtyard, then walked towardut built under the eastern wall. In front of Ouyang Xulin, he took out a gray cloth bag from his chest, and took out a one foot long jade plate from inside, placing it inside the hut. On the stone plate, there were twenty-four Jade Coins s embedded on the outside, with a ring of grooves in the middle, and seven amylopyrite s embedded on top.

Ouyang Xulin could not help but smack his lips and say: “Formation plate? amylopyrite? Are you making a fuss over nothing? ”

Yang Junshan said: “This array is called the ‘Primary Magnetic Formation’. In this period of time, before I have completed refining, I have been living in this hut, and can arrive at any time I wanted. At the same time, I can use the power of the array to protect you.”

Ouyang Xulin looked at the array formation that Yang Junshan had set up, but was unable to figure out the principles behind the array formation, and could only ask: “Since you understand array formations, then are you proficient in carving the various artifact runes?”

How could Yang Junshan not know about his little scheme? He simply rolled his eyes and said: “I’m not proficient in it, these are all your problems. This is your first time refining, it’s best if you do it yourself!”

The Chaotic Formation had been activated by Yang Junshan, causing the entire courtyard to shake like it was the reflection of water, then it returned to tranquility, looking from afar, it looked exactly the same as before.

In the small room, the rusted stove that Ouyang Xulin had placed in the middle of the room had long since changed. This furnace that looked no different from the one that the village’s winter furnace used to heat a fire was actually a low-grade Dharma artifact crafting furnace!

At this time, Ouyang Xulin had already ignited the furnace. The orange colored flame was only as big as a fist, but the heat wave it emitted made the small house feel like it couldn’t bear the pressure and Yang Junshan had no choice but to use the spirit energy in his body to resist the heat inside the house. Meanwhile, the paper book in the corner of the hut had already started to shrink under the high temperature, turn black, and gradually began to emit green smoke!
