A hundred years have passed, and Yang Fushuo is merely at the Golden Core Seventh Layer, with the Golden Core Perfection still a long way off, let alone the Nascent Soul Realm.

"At this pace... achieving the Golden Core Perfection in a hundred years would be considered lucky."

"By then... Yang Fushuo will be over 300 years old. Whether he can break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in this lifetime is still unknown."

The hurdle from Golden Core to Nascent Soul can trap a cultivator for a lifetime.

On the Spirit Miao Continent, there are many Golden Core Immortal Clans; every family has a few old men and women at the Golden Core Perfection. But Nascent Soul Immortal Clans are rare, familiar only as household names...

It was only fifty years ago that legendary lands began to appear around the world, allowing some Golden Core Perfection cultivators to achieve the Nascent Soul, enriching the continent with more Nascent Soul Immortal Clans.

"Things a hundred years from now... who can say for sure? The future is always changing."

Yang Genshuo doesn’t brood over such distant matters; currently, Yang Fushuo is still in his prime, so there’s no need for melancholy.

Three days passed swiftly.

Yang Genshuo has been keeping an eye on the plot of the Legendary Land White Grain Warehouse, helping the Yang family see through traps and opportunities inside, consistently encountering thrills but no dangers.

The subsequent story hasn’t matched the scale of the inn incident; rather, it’s been monotonous travel and minor incidents on the road.

Yang Genshuo believes the latter part of the plot might be simpler. It can’t be that life-threatening stories persist throughout the journey, can it?

"However... there’s been a lack of high-quality finds, possibly linked to the story’s difficulty level?"

Yang Genshuo was pondering whether they missed anything along the way... when he suddenly heard someone calling him in his divine sense.

"Ancestor, I’ve just received information potentially related to the Gongyang Family!"

Yang Fushuo also brought good news.

"Oh? Quickly, tell me!"

Yang Fushuo spread his palm, revealing a message from his subordinate.

"A squad reportedly led by someone with the surname Gongyang appeared within the dynasty under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Martial Sect. They might be traceable in that area."

"Immortal Martial Sect..."

Yang Genshuo had some recollection; it was one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects on the Spirit Miao Continent, a sect of Spiritual and Martial Dual Cultivation, a typical example of proving one’s principles through strength. The Yang family borrowed many martial cultivation techniques from it. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

However... the sect’s disciples weren’t known for their character, notorious throughout the Spirit Miao Continent.

"Ancestor, although the Immortal Martial Sect has numerous rogue cultivators, it remains one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects and abides by certain rules. It has some business dealings with our Strange Pill Tower, so if I decide to visit... they would likely give me some respect."

"Hmm, makes sense, but you need not go. You stay at the Strange Pill Tower; it’s easy to react if something happens."

"The Ancestor is right. I can always mobilize resources and assets here... Let Qiangding go instead."

"Ah? Him?"

It’s not that I underestimate your son, Fushuo, though his talent isn’t bad, he’s still just a late-stage Foundation Establishment alchemist, with low cultivation and weak combat strength.

Catching on to the Ancestor’s doubt, Yang Fushuo immediately explained:

"I have a few clever Golden Core cultivators under my wing. Let Qiangding lead them there; they’ll surely be fine."

"You sure trust them."

"Young birds must try to fly... Even if you weren’t coming, I planned to arrange some training for him this year."

"Alright, then let Qiangding take the trip; the dynasty can only accommodate Golden Core cultivators. As long as they’re careful, it’ll be safe."

"Good!"

Yang Qiangding promptly led five Golden Core cultivators to the Yanyu Dynasty under the Immortal Martial Sect.

Searching for news about the Gongyang Family’s members...

Meanwhile, in that special legendary land, Yang Zhu was dining with Gongyang Zhiruo.

Within a spiritual food hall of the Gongyang Family.

Faced with this big sister, far superior to him in both cultivation and appearance, Yang Zhu was somewhat reserved.

"Eat, these are all for you."

Gongyang Zhiruo ordered a table full of spiritual food for him, which looked incredibly appetizing.

Yang Zhu swallowed a mouthful of saliva. In past years, he constantly roamed outside with his mother, considering himself lucky to have full meals, let alone delicacies like these.

"Sister Ruo... I’ve been eating too much from you these past few days, it feels rude to keep freeloading. Collecting these things must take a lot of effort, right?"

"Collecting? Haha~ You talk like a wild man! As long as you have spirit stones, you can buy whatever you want. Enjoy, these are just small expenses for me."

"But... I’ve been here for several days, doing nothing but cultivating, eating, and sleeping. It’s relaxing but makes me uneasy... Is there anything I can help you with?"

Yang Zhu felt a bit embarrassed blatantly freeloading off the siblings here.

"You’re just a child. In our place, playing and cultivating are enough. Just stay here and rest at ease... Oh, and a senior in our clan is returning tomorrow. She has high cultivation and can help check your mother’s injuries."

"Really?"

Yang Zhu stood up in surprise, then quickly sat down.

"Yes, wait for us in your room tomorrow."

"Great!"

After finishing the meal, Yang Zhu excitedly called out to the Ancestor.

"Ancestor, did you hear just now? Sister Ruo will arrange for someone to heal my mother tomorrow... She’s so capable; the clan elder must be a Great Cultivation expert who’ll surely be able to help my mother!"

"Mom... we can save you now!"

Yang Zhu was too excited!

Yang Genshuo also nodded slightly.

"This Gongyang Family... is quite influential. Even within the Sixteen Clans, it has several Nascent Soul cultivators. If a Nascent Soul healer steps in, curing your mother isn’t difficult."
