Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 42 – Love

Facing the eyes of the villagers spying on these three acres of Ling Tian, the citizens of the Tuqiu Village were naturally united against the same enemy and were against the outside world.

The Tuqiu Village Ling Tian had not increased by a single bit for over ten years. Although Yang Cunzheng had spent close to four years and wasted a large amount of human and financial resources to cultivate this three-acre Ling Tian, it could be said that the Wasteland Town was one of the rare and generous efforts of the Mengyu County. However, three-acre Ling Tian were still too little for the thousand plus families of Tuqiu Village.

Even if these thousand over villagers were not all Spiritual Farmers s, these three acres of Ling Tian s were like a drop in the bucket for Tuqiu Village, but the entire Tuqiu Village was eyeing these three mu of Ling Tian s covetously. How they were divided, who they were divided, and how much they were divided, this was something very special, if not careful, the entire village would become chaotic because of these three mu of Ling Tian.

During these few days in the village, Yang Junshan had clearly felt that more and more people were greeting and expressing goodwill to him. Among them, other than Yang Tiangang who became more and more respected in the village due to the matter of the Ling Tian, there were also a few other villagers who wanted to shariece of the three acres of Ling Tian with him. They were becoming more and more courteous towards the son of the Village Head, and there were even some who asked him obliquely if he had any plans to split the fields.

On the way home, Yang Junshan saw Zhang Huzi from afar. After this fellow was the first to summon a Celestial Spirit to achieve the Perfection Stage amongst the youths of Tuqiu Village, he quickly returned to his normal appearance of swaggering and showing off, especially after news of Xu Lei and Yang Junshan being at the Perfection Stage of the Spirit Summoning Stage and Yang Junping’s group being ordered to cultivate at home. Amongst the youths of the village, there were no opponents left, and this guy even began to call himself as the number one expert among the youths of Tuqiu Village.

As for the matter of him being at a disadvantage against Su Baozhang a few days ago, according to him, it was reasonable. He, Su Baozhang, was almost sixteen, and would soon be an adult.

It was that Zhang family had a distant relative in the Wasteland Town. That distant relative of his, a genius cultivator, had already been officially accepted by the Heaven-Shaken Sect as an inner disciple, and was even rumored to be a disciple of one of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Adept Realm Cultivator s.

Adept Realm Cultivator!

In the eyes of the children of the Tuqiu Village who had never seen the world, cultivators of the realms of life were like gods, if Zhang Huzi’s distant cousin was able to become a disciple of the gods, then wouldn’t that mean that Zhang Huzi’s family was relatives with the gods?

A few days ago, his father, Blacksmith Zhang, had personally gone to the Wasteland Town to attend the wedding banquet of the eldest nephew. During this time, he had even delivered fifty stone coins and two Yellow Jade Fruits to Cheng Yi.

Speaking of love, Cheng Yi could be considered as the most recent joke in the Mengyu County, and the main character was none other than the father of the reputed number one genius of the Mengyu County, Zhang Yueming, Zhang Chenghong.

After returning from the Banyan Mountain, Zhang Yueming had wholeheartedly focused on cultivating and refining the upper grade Celestial Purple Cloud Skin. As an inner disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, Zhang Yueming’s cultivation was never lacking in miraculous pills and Jade Coins spirit sources. Even though the quality of the Violet Cloud Skin, which was a upper grade Celestial grade, was even better than Yang Junshan’s Treadmill bear courage, he had still successfully refined the Celestial Spirit half a month ago, and reached the perfect realm of summoning the Celestial Spirit.

After his father, Zhang Yueming, became overjoyed, and immediately issued an invitation to his close friends, wanting the guests of the banquet to celebrate for their son, there was naturally no reason for his close friends to reject. Even some distant relatives, who saw that Zhang Yueming was about to becomhoenix on a branch, had come to curry favor with him.

However, when everyone rushed to Zhang Chenghong’s home, they saw that there were actually six words written in the main hall, ‘Tribute to the love, offer the way’.

In the countryside, only things like the red and white wedding, or the old age’s birthday, would people accept gifts and money, and all of them had a set rule for doing so. For people like Zhang Yueming who were accepted as inner sect disciples by famous sects, they would have a few tables full of banquet guests, but the presents and money were all things that could not be given, and completely depended on the wishes of their friends and relatives.

However, people like Zhang Chenghong, who were afraid that their friends and relatives would not give them the money, would directly hang the banner in the middle of the hall. Not to mention that it was very rare, even their own friends and relatives would feel embarrassed when they saw it.

In fact, during that day’s banquet, even though the majority of his friends and relatives had left Cheng Yi to show their love for him, perhaps Zhang Chenghong’s own brothers helped him manage the banquet, or perhaps they were angry at his actions, no one took out a single stone coin.

This caused Zhang Chenghong to be greatly infuriated. After the guests had all dispersed from the banquet, Zhang Chenghong, who had checked his gift desk, jumped at the door and cursed for an hour. In the end, it was Zhang Yueming who could not stand his father’s methods, and so he coaxed and tricked Zhang Yueming into pushing him back into his home.

However, even though she didn’t want the money, she still felt stifled, so she went on to say that she was annoyed by her brother. After lying at home for three days, she finally thought of a way to fix it.

Right at the head of the banquet, seven days later, Zhang Yueming was about to set off for the Mengyu County County to meet up with the other cultivators who had come to welcome him. Zhang Cheng Hong had already informed his brothers to send him off early on, so as the most outstanding younger generation of the Zhang Family, there was no reason for his brothers to not come to see him off.

However, when his brothers arrived at Zhang Chenghong’s home, they were shocked to see that the banner that read “Tribute, Love” was still hanging in the middle of the hall.

How could there not be something clear about this? Several of their own brothers secretly discussed for a while, and in the end, each of them still sealed a red packet, and only then did they send Zhang Yueming to the beast carriage in the town with the happy Zhang Chenghong.

obviously did not understand the reasoning behind this, he just thought that the cousin who was able to enter the Heaven-Shaken Sect was very powerful, and to use this as a show of power in front of his little friend was also a very respectable thing.

The reason the Blacksmith Zhang wanted to give him two Yellow Jade Fruits and fifty stone coins was probably because he wanted to use a Yellow Jade Fruit to fawn on his distant relative, who had gone through a few twists and turns. The other fifty stone coins were probably because he did not expect them to be “loved”!

However, a Medial Grade Spirit Fruit was a very generous gift. It seemed that this Blacksmith Zhang had spent quite a bit of money to curry favor with this distant relative.

Yang Junshan laughed and was just about to leave when he heard Zhang Huzi continue: “At my distant cousin’s banquet, my father even invited my distant cousin’s father, the famous medicine master Zhang Chenghong to my house as a guest. My father also prepared a lot of spirit herbs and elixirs, Master Zhang has already promised that when the time comes, with these pills, my cultivation will be able to go a step further, and I might be able to breakthrough into the third stage.”

After hearing Zhang Huzi say that, the rest of the youths were filled with envy. One of the youths asked anxiously: “Brother Hu Zi, when will that alchemist come?”

The arrogance on Zhang Huzi’s face grew even more, and he said: “In a month, in a month, Drug Master Zhang will agree to come to our house as a guest. At that time, if any of your families prepare some spirit herbs or similar things, prepare a gift, and then have my father speak out for them, maybe Drug Master Zhang will concoct some pills for you.”

… ….

One month later?

Yang Junshan thought, that was exactly the last moment of the Ling Tian’s maturity, and at that time, the entire village would be focused on it. As the three martial arts realm experts of the village, would the Blacksmith Zhang still have the mood to entertain the guests?

Unless this esteemed guest was here to help him fight for the Ling Tian!

However, this Zhang Cheng Hong was someone who would not let go even if he did not see the rabbit. Who knew how much of a price Blacksmith Zhang had to pay to get him here.

He did not know if his father knew about this, but with Zhang Cheng Hong’s cultivation at the fifth level of the Mortal Realm, he could be considered an expert in the Tuqiu Village. If he truly wanted to help the Blacksmith Zhang, it would not be a small matter, not to mention the important thing was that Zhang Cheng Hong had a good son, and with his son’s status as an inner disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, if he were to go against Yang Tiangang, he would definitely cause a few villagers to side with the Blacksmith Zhang.

When dusk came and Yang Tiangang returned home from the county, Yang Junshan told his father about the news he had received from Zhang Huzi. Unexpectedly, Yang Tiangang laughed coldly and said with disdain: “To join forces with outsiders to pressure his neighbor, his Blacksmith Zhang has truly taken a step forward!”

Yang Junshan’s cultivation was at the peak of the second stage of the martial arts realm, yet the valiant citizens of the Tuqiu Village still dared to attack Yang Tiangang. Even if Yang Tiangang had used this opportunity to establish his might, the citizens of the Tuqiu Village would still refuse to accept it. It was only until Yang Tiangang began to vigorously punish the village’s Ling Tian and gradually nurture and mature the new Ling Tian that the entire Tuqiu Village finally accepted Yang Cunzheng and the entire family managed to integrate into the Tuqiu Village.

He thought that by attracting strong reinforcements from the outside world, he would be able to raise his own prestige in Tuqiu Village. However, he had forgotten that this method of teaming up with outsiders to bully their neighbors was the one that caused the people of Tuqiu Village to be the most dissatisfied.

Releasing his worries, Yang Junshan immediately became mischievous and asked with a mischievous smile: “Father, have you been searching for the Rust Ore Stone successfully recently?”

Yang Tiangang contentedly inhaled a breath of smoke, glanced at him, and asked without even raising his head: “What?”

Yang Junshan became anxious: “Divide the money, we agreed that if we get out 10 Jade Coins s, we will split one, you can’t go back on your word!”
