Chapter 1101: Chapter 626: Dragged Into the Water! (Part 2)

"Xiao Jing, your people can try... but Yang Zhu and her group must also find a way to take action themselves first."

"Arrange for people to enter, I’ll help keep an eye on things with Yang Zhu."

Regardless of who goes in, having an extra person always adds strength, and if it doesn’t work out, they can band together to deal with unknown crises.

"Ancestor, opening the Legendary Land requires a key, if we don’t have..."

"It’s a book, in Yang Zhu’s hands, take your people to get it."

"Understood!"

This time, the proper ancestral ritual was interrupted by an unexpected event.

Fortunately, he had previously agreed with Yang Qiangjing on the offerings, which could all be taken away.

Additionally, other Yang Family members offered quite a few items, among them many spiritual objects, more than enough for Yang Genshuo’s use.

The perspective shifts to the Silver Land Dynasty, where Yang Fu was also performing ancestral rites with a small number of Yang Family members.

"Yang Fu, there was a slight mishap there, Yang Zhu accidentally entered a new Legendary Land... I need to oversee things there, let’s pause today’s ancestral rites for now, we’ll carry out our plan slowly..."

Yang Fu didn’t have much to handle here, mainly sorting through treasures he’d collected over the century for Yang Genshuo to select from.

Yang Genshuo took two Earth Level Miracle Treasures that could reshape spirit roots, named [Essence of Earth], similar to the [Life Divine Seed] in effect.

The only difference was that the [Essence of Earth]-reshaped spirit roots carried some earthy metallic aura, favoring spirit roots of that nature.

Unlike the [Life Divine Seed] which granted a comprehensive Five Elements spirit root with complete 20 points, considered worthless overall.

Which is better... is yet unknown, as Yang Fu hadn’t used them, saving them to offer when the ancestor returns.

Yet, Yang Genshuo was not particular.

Having a spirit root suffices, given the Yang Family’s current wealth, nurturing any spirit root is inconsequential.

Even for a particularly rare light element spirit root, Yang Qiangjing could find suitable spiritual objects from the vault.

Before helping Yang Zhu and her group resolve their plight, Yang Genshuo quickly completed his ancestral ritual tasks for the year.

Yang Fu secured treasures for reshaping spirit roots, Yang Qiangjing acquired [Spiritual Building Blocks] and an abundance of spiritual material needed for transforming Jiuhua Mountain, and even obtained several Golden Core Demon Cores for stimulating spirit beasts.

Meanwhile, Yang Genshuo obtained from Yang Qiangjing a set of high-grade magical artifacts suitable for Qi Refining Stage cultivators, along with a large number of elixirs, talismans, micro arrays, and a special light-element spiritual object, all immediately handed over to Yang Zhu in the Mushroom World.

Yang Zhu had never witnessed such a scene from his childhood, and as he received the collection, small tears welled up in his eyes.

"Ancestor... never... never... has anyone ever given me gifts, not even on my birthday, mother could only make me a good meal... sob sob sob~"

A reward that deeply moved Yang Zhu, a feeling of having someone behind him... it was the first time he sensed the warmth of home.

It made him realize that elsewhere, someone cared for him.

"Mother... we are not unwanted burdens, Ancestor... Ancestor cares for us, I swear I will take you to see Ancestor!"

"Ancestor, I’ll definitely escape from here!"

Yang Zhu waved his little fists, full of determination.

"Mm... I believe in you."

After concluding the conversation, Yang Genshuo remarked: 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Yang Zhu and Yang Zhu... you two are indeed synchronously causing such big issues from the start."

Yang Zhu remains missing, and Yang Zhu faces a perilous future.

One is the eldest of the fifth generation Yang Family, the other the youngest.

Both bear the distinctive two-character names of the fifth generation, as if teased by the same fate.

"Yang Zhu has already found his light, I hope Yang Zhu and her group can safely emerge from the ’White Grain Warehouse’..."

"Oh right, Qiangjing, there’s still some time... based on your understanding, what do you think Yang Zhu and her group need? To aid in their escape?"

During the ancestral rites, Yang Genshuo could assist them in exchanging supplies, though... using the [Miracle: Flying Book] could achieve that, but it would require extra incense.

"They all have the family’s life-saving magic treasures... elixirs and talismans are also plentiful, Yang Zhu herself studies arrays, I’m not worried about her methods... as long as she can understand this tale, she can make it out alive."

Yang Zhu, the Yang Family’s fifth generation eldest daughter, had enjoyed many resources, lacking nothing, and her storage ring was well-stocked.

"Alright, send your people in... we’ll wait in place."

"Mm!"

Strength in numbers, when team actions are possible, there’s no need to act alone.

Yang Qiangjing arranged for personnel, and Yang Genshuo’s divine sense entered the Legendary Land.

The five of them were discussing their next steps.

"The rules of the Legendary Land are immutable, we must escort the grain to Beijing as demanded..."

"Here’s the problem, first, where’s the grain?"

They had just searched all the houses in this small village, finding them empty, not even a grain of rice to be found.

"Even a clever housewife can’t cook without rice, and here we have grain to escort... without grain, what are we escorting???"

All five were stumped from the start.

Yang Genshuo realized that Yang Zhu and her group’s vision had expanded slightly.

Clearly, the earlier assistance had increased their faith in the ancestor, allowing him to see farther.

"Let me see... if anything is hidden."

Yang Genshuo scanned around, shocked!

"There’s truly not a single grain of rice?"

No mechanisms, no hidden passages, no hidden places.

Only dilapidated thatched huts and vast stretches of yellow land existed.

The land had all been overturned, leaving it barren.

Five of them couldn’t find a single spirit rice grain.

They were stuck right at the first step.

Yang Genshuo, however, wasn’t overly worried. He did have a method to solve it, the Yang Family lacked many things but not grain, during the remaining ritual time, he could easily send over a heap of grain for them.

No grain? Use our own, simple as that.

Though... Yang Zhu seemed to have thought of the same solution as Yang Genshuo.

She lightly rubbed her storage ring.

A faint glow appeared, and a handful of Spiritual Grain lay in her hand.

"Storage rings are functional... this point is better than at the Liushui Tribe, where rules forbid carrying outer items, I happen to have quite a few Spiritual Grain here, maybe it can be used as the grain to escort to Beijing."

"Big Sister, you’re amazing! How did you remember to put Spiritual Grain in the storage ring... I never bring any."

"I even find Grain Avoidance Cakes heavy, I use high-grade Fasting Pills instead..."

"Big Sister, did you prepare in advance?"

Yang Zhu shook her head, baffled.

"I don’t remember preparing... huh? How did this Spiritual Grain get into my storage ring?"

Admit it, it is your storage ring!

Yang Genshuo almost remarked but held back.

"Were the memories altered? Or was it forgotten over time?"

The Danai Empire is built on spirit plants, using improved high-yield spirit rice seeds from Daoists, it’s not uncommon for storage rings to contain several thousand catties of Spiritual Grain.

[Manifestation]

"Though you have Spiritual Grain, don’t let your guard down. If this place’s rules don’t recognize it... that would be troublesome. Wait for reinforcements, and then explore further to see if there’s more to find..."

Yang Genshuo wasn’t certain if external items could replace internal grain, a rule they hadn’t figured out yet.

Yang Zhu nodded in agreement.

"Mm... but we still have the second problem, where is the Beijing, as said by the Hungry Officials?"

They looked around. Grey mist blanketed everything, obscuring any scenery or direction, and it was all an enshrouding haze...
