Chapter 45 – Tian Huang
Seeing this chubby little boy in front of him, Yang Junshan happily squatted down and rubbed his head, saying, “Thirteenth Brother, do you still remember who I am?”
The little boy tilted his head and looked at Yang Junshan for a while, as if he had an impression of him, but in the end, he shook his head and said with his childish voice: “I don’t know him!”
Yang Junshan chuckled and carried the little boy on his body. He said: “Little Hao, I’m your fourth brother, Yang Junshan. Do you remember now?”
After all, he was only a five year old boy. The last time he saw him, he was only two and a half years old, and when he said his piece earlier, three years had passed by quickly. It was already past time for Yang Junshan to recognize him, and he was now a child prodigy who had photographic memory.
Yes, even though his thirteenth brother would indeed becomrodigy in the future.
Yang Junhao was the thirteenth in the Yang family’s third generation, and other than the fourth aunt, Yang Tian Fang, women in the fourth house of the Yang family never married.
According to the Yang Family’s Fourth Branch’s ranking, Yang Junshan was ranked fourth, Yang Junping was ranked ninth, and Yang Junxin who was only one year older than her was ranked twelfth sister.
The person who was busy cooking in the kitchen was Seventh Aunt Yang Tian Yan. Seeing Yang Junshan return with his son on his back, Yang Tian Yan laughed: “Little Shan is back, he looks more and more like your father now that two or three years have passed!”
“Seventh Aunt!”
After putting Yang Junhao, who he had gotten familiar with along the way, down from his back, Yang Junshan stroke his sleeves with the intention to step forward and help.
Yang Tian Yan quickly chased him away and said, “Go, go. There’s no need for you here. Go to your hall to meet your seventh uncle. I heard that you’re about to succeed in summoning your spirit. Your uncle has brought you a good present this time!”
Upon hearing that there was a gift, Yang Junshan was immediately overjoyed. He bid his farewells to Seventh Aunt and ran towards the living room. Yang Junhao and Little Twelfth Sister had already circled around Hu Niu by her side long ago.
Arriving at the front of the house, Yang Junshan just so happened to hear his father laugh: “I heard that you didn’t go out traveling during this period of time, and honestly stayed at Bluestone Town. I thought you had changed your gender, but you were actually cultivating behind closed doors, secretly raising your cultivation to the peak of the first stage of martial arts realm.
A hearty laugh came out from the house, and said: “Third brother, what nonsense are you saying, how could the second level of martial arts realm be so easily broken through? You have experience with this matter, and furthermore, how could third brother not haveason to recruit me as his brother-in-law!”
The person sitting on the right looked a little younger than Yang Tiangang, but compared to Yang Tiangang’s rough appearance, this person looked more like a scholar. Gu Panpan had a somewhat high-spirited aura, which indicated that he was Yang Junshan’s Seventh Uncle, An Xia.
As for the two seated opposite him, they were tall and sturdy, dressed in coarse clothes with a loyal face. They were the brothers Yang Tienu and Yang Qingniu who followed Yang Tiangang from Bluestone Town.
“Father, Seventh Uncle, Uncle Tie Niu, Uncle Qing Niu!”
When he turned around to look, he saw Seventh Uncle An Xia smiling at him as he said: “Shanzi, these few years you have not grown much. Seventh Uncle has brought you something good this time, I wonder if you like it!”
Yang Junshan immediately laughed: “Seventh Uncle’s present is definitely something I like!”
An Xia laughed heartily upon hearing this, and took ouurple leather bag the size of her palm from her chest. Yang Junshan could see it clearly, this bag was similar to the storage space bag that Yang Tiangang used to store the items inside.
After shaking the storage bag in his palm, a palm-sized object immediately fell into An Xia’s palm from the middle of the storage bag. From its outer appearance, it looked unremarkable, and if not for the traces of spirit energy that leaked out, Yang Junshan would probably treat it as a mudstone that was broken and barely able to stick together.
Seeing Yang Junshan’s doubtful expression, An Xia laughed: “How is it, do you recognize this?”
Yang Junshan said witint of hesitation, “It looks like a mid-grade spirit material, Tian Huang Stone, but it doesn’t seem like it at all.”
This time, it was An Xia’s turn to be surprised, and she said: “Shanzi, have you seen this before?”
“Your son has never seen a material object, but I’ve read about it in the ‘Wind Objects’. It’s just that this piece of rock doesn’t seem to be the same as the one in the book, so I’m not sure.”
Seeing Yang Junshan shake his head, An Xia kept praising him: “Not bad, not bad, this is a mid-grade spirit material, Tian Huang Stone. This is something that uncle I accidentally obtained from an old carver, that old carver is an expert in carving multiple spirit pattern runes, and is extremely famous in the region.
An Xia had roamed around for many years, and her experience had even surpassed Yang Tiangang’s. When he talked about what had happened outside, the others all listened with relish.
“A few cultivators who pursue elegance would produce a few seals and similar magic tools. These types of magic tools would be carved from the spirit material Tian Huang Stone of the middle rank of the world before being handed over to the refiner for refinement.”
Every time this old engraver carves these inscriptions for people, he collects the powder particles that fall from the Tian Huang Stone, and over time, they gather to form a large piece. Although this object is not considered a mid-grade Dharma rank Tian Huang Stone, it can be considered a piece of Tian Huang Muddy, and amongst the low-grade Dharma rank spirit materials, it would be considered the peak.
Yang Tiangang saw that his son was engrossed in his story, so he scolded with a smile: “Hurry up and thank your Seventh Uncle! Such a large piece of yellow mud must have cost your uncle a lot! ”
… ….
Although Tian Huang So gave Yang Junshan a gift, it was still a precious treasure. Furthermore, his father had to think of a way to refine it into a spirit artifact, so Yang Tiangang naturally accepted the gift on his behalf.
After eating, it was clear that Yang Tiangang and the others still had something they needed to discuss, whereas Thirteenth Brother Yang Junhao was still circling around Hu Niu, playing together with his younger sister and second brother. Coincidentally, this allowed Yang Junshan to find some time to strike ulay, and the only person who had to make a sacrifice was Hu Niu who was treated as a plaything by the few siblings.
Just as Yang Junshan was about to leave the village and go up the Western Mountain, he met Su Baozhang who had gone to see the Ling Tian come back.
“Do you know about Zhang Yueming’s father coming to our village?” The moment Su Baozhang saw Yang Junshan, he immediately started to talk about Zhang Cheng Hong, which confused Yang Junshan for a moment, and could only nod his head, quietly waiting for the next part.
“I never thought that guy would be so capable, he used a few pills he made in the village to treat the injuries of a few people, causing a lot of people in the village to feel grateful. There are even people who say that Blacksmith Zhang has a lot of face, and invited a pill refiner into the village, if it was any other person, they wouldn’t even be able to invite Village Head!”
Su Baozhang was enraged: “Listen to me, aren’t you scolding me like a scholar! However, this man has some skills. A few days ago, I heard that something went wrong with Li Shen’s cultivation, and he accidentally contaminated Feng Xie’s high fever, causing him to be unable to retreat. His entire body became muddled from the fire, and with one pill from Zhang Cheng Hong, his fever subsided, and he immediately became clear-headed.
“However, the illness caused by Qi deviation is the hardest to treat. After half a day, Li Shen’s fever started to rise again, so Zhang Cheng Hong gave him another pill and the fever subsided. After four days, Zhang Cheng Hong gave five pills to Li Shen and finally removed Feng Xie’s disease. Eh, what kind of expression is that, is there something wrong with what I said?”
Su Baozhang’s words were right on point, but Yang Junshan’s face was filled with ridicule and ridicule. He was feeling depressed in his heart, thinking that Yang Junshan was ridiculing him.
Yang Junshan laughed coldly and asked: “Then what is the price of Zhang Cheng Hong’s pills? Brother Bao Zhang, do you know?”
Su Baozhang was startled for a moment, then said: “It was not cheap. It was said that he paid Li Shen a total of five cultivation pellets for three of his Jade Coins, causing him to feel extremely pained.
Yang Junshan coldly snorted, and said: “A box of 10 Spirit Guiding Pills for Mortal Realm Cultivators is only worth five Jade Coins, and he, Zhang Chenghong and a few others made such crude pills, actually dares to take three Jade Coins?”
Su Baozhang was startled, and said: “But his pills are really effective!”
The ridicule on Yang Junshan’s face became even more obvious: “It’s only Feng Xie entering the body, even if it’s just a crappy pill making pill, it would be enough, but he used five of them! However, the cost of an evil pill is only ten stone coins, which is equivalent to selling for twenty stone coins. This guy sold them for sixty stone coins each, which was simply insane! ”
“But what can I do about it?”
“If he doesn’t havelapse, wouldn’t he only be able to earn money for a single pill?”
Yang Junshan instantly flabbergasted by his question. “As for controlling the disease back and forth, that’s simply too easy. All you need to do is to add some additional seasonings into the pill.”
After a while, Su Baozhang said in disbelief: “Is he really that despicable?”
Yang Junshan laughed coldly: “To be able to brazenly put up the ‘love note’ at our son’s banquet, how good can you hope for him to be?”
“No, we can’t let this man continue lying to us like this!”
Su Baozhang quickly walked towards the village and said: “We must expose this person’s despicable face. These days, he was still using the name of concocting pills to buy herbs and herbs from various families. We don’t even know how many tricks he had hidden away, we definitely cannot let the villagers fall for it again.”
Yang Junshan pulled him back, and said: “You have evidence? “Don’t forget, all of these things were voluntarily done by the villagers. Even the villagers didn’t side with you when you brazenly came forward to criticize them.”
