Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying-Chapter 83 - 82 Heading Deep into the Devil Wind Forest

Chapter 83: Chapter 82 Heading Deep into the Devil Wind Forest

Yang Shi saw the familiar golden light and knew that the ancestral spirit was displaying the Immortal Law.

He opened his body to accept the essence of the Earth Bear.

The first thing he felt was an extremely immense qi-blood, even more powerful than the First Grade Elixir, Vajra Unbreakable Pill, bursting forth within his body. His qi-blood surged and his physical strength was elevated once again!

His muscles and bones swelled slightly.

Yang Shi had reached a height of 1.85 meters!

Next was the Earth Spiritual Energy that entered his skin, forming a layer of keratinous membrane, making his skin even more tenacious and powerful.

“Yang Shi has absorbed the essence of the demon beast ‘Earth Bear’, increasing qi-blood, increasing spiritual power… failed, obtained the talent ‘Thin Skin (Mortal Level).'”

“Thin Skin (Mortal Level): A weakened version of the Bear Clan’s racial talent; skin resilience slightly increased, capable of negating some physical and spell damage.”

Yang Shi absorbed a part of the Earth Bear’s talent, enhancing his resistance to blows and greatly boosting his qi-blood. His strength had once again made significant strides.

“God damn Thin Skin!”

“What a waste of the essence’s spiritual power… Yang Shi isn’t a cultivator.”

“But if you add spiritual power, can you still absorb this talent?”

Yang Genshuo wasn’t very clear about the workings of this new Blessing and would need to try multiple times to understand.

Yang Shi clenched his fists, feeling a greater flow of power within his body and his True Qi growing ever more robust, his face brimming with joy.

“I’ve grown stronger again!”

“Thank you, ancestral spirit, for descending a miracle!”

Jiang Xiaobai and Hu Zi also bowed respectfully, “Thank you, ancestral spirit.”

Everyone in the Yang Family understood something clearly, all of their current achievements were bestowed by the ancestral spirit, without whom there would be no Yang Family today.

Respect for the ancestral spirit was carved into the marrow of each member.

Yang Genshuo nodded slightly. The Yang Family was united, which relieved him greatly. Just yesterday, in a break from his busy schedule, he watched a Korean chaebol drama, and the infighting in that family… gave him a headache.

It would be terrible if the Yang Family grew to be like that.

Thus, he intended to maintain the current spirit of the Yang Family at all times. So far, the education of Yang Shi was a success, Yang Fu was extremely obedient to the ancestral spirit’s commands, just like Yang Shi.

Even the mischievous Yang Fushuo immediately quieted down and ceased his fidgeting upon seeing golden characters in the sky, waiting quietly until his father and brother were done before daring to speak.

“I want to test my current strength…”

Yang Shi ran off, his speed noticeably faster. In no time, he caught a Fetal Breathing Stage long-horned deer with his bare hands.

“My physical enhancement is around 20%, the defensive power notably strengthened. The Earth Deer’s Earth Blade hit me but didn’t hurt at all; I feel as if I’ve absorbed the strength of that bear.”

“Being an Innate Master isn’t the end for a martial cultivator; my body hasn’t reached its physical limit to this day…”

Hu Zi, having consumed a Bone Strengthening and Muscle Building Pill, had already recovered from his injuries and exclaimed,

“Brother Shi, you’ve got the strength of a bear now!”

Hu Zi was filled with envy; he looked up longingly at the sky, “Ancestral spirit, I also bear the Yang surname, please bestow some strength on me~”

“Hu Zi, don’t speak carelessly; we accept what the ancestral spirit provides, and we should not ask if it’s not given,” scolded Yang Shi.

Hu Zi scratched his head sheepishly, “Sorry, ancestral spirit, I won’t dare again…”

Looking at Hu Zi’s bewildered expression, Yang Genshuo chuckled.

Hu Zi’s loyalty was undisputed. Without kinsfolk, the Yang Family was his family, absolutely one of their own. Now he had also reached the level of an Innate Master, becoming one of the primary forces to reckon with.

Over the years, he had both merits and hard work; indeed, appropriate rewards were due.

He made a Manifestation.

“Once we hunt down another powerful demon beast, I will descend a reward for Hu Zi.”

Hu Zi saw the words specifically manifested for him and was ecstatic, kowtowing several times in excitement.

“Thank you, ancestral spirit! Thank you! Yang Hu swears to do his utmost to protect our Yang Family!”

30 incense was a small price; Hu Zi was worth it.

Moreover, this Fetal Breathing Fifth Layer Earth Deer had average strength and no special talents. Yang Genshuo didn’t plan to waste precious incense to absorb its essence; it was best saved for more powerful demon beasts.

“It should at least be demon beasts of the Qi Refinement Realm to be worth the 30 incense, right?”

In recent years, as Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo practiced together, Yang Genshuo had descended numerous “Blessing: Gathering Spirit” for the two children, doubling the consumption.

This was also one of the reasons for their rapid progress.

Now that Yang Fushuo had reached a new stage in his cultivation, since it wasn’t the first time, he only gave 10 incense upon each promotion, unlike Yang Fu, who could earn so much more.

Including the 150 incense gained from just slaying a Qi Refinement Realm Demon Beast, Yang Genshuo’s total incense was only 490.

“Leaving 200 incense for the next child, there’s only 290 incense available to use; it’s still quite tight.”

“Recently, I should reduce the frequency of the ‘Blessing: Gathering Spirit’ to give more to ‘Blessing: Absorption.’ If I let Yang Shi go slay Demon Beasts… and drag them back for Yang Fu to absorb, maybe the increase in Spiritual Power won’t be worse than that from Gathering Spirit?”

While Yang Genshuo was meticulously calculating, Yang Shi and Hu Zi started chatting.

“Why did this Earth Bear notice us? We’ve hardly ever seen Qi Refinement Realm Demon Beasts around here, have we?”

This area was considered a safe zone on the periphery of the Devil Wind Forest, home to mostly herbivorous Demon Beasts without much aggressiveness, or else the Slaves wouldn’t have survived here for so long.

If an Earth Bear came, it would mean the complete annihilation of the entire Clan.

Hu Zi frowned, “This isn’t the first Qi Refinement Realm Demon Beast I’ve encountered. Something seems to have happened inside the Devil Wind Forest recently… A lot of Demon Beasts have run out. When I was hunting, this thing set its sights on me; luckily, it wasn’t too far from home, or else… I would’ve had to waste one of Elder Sister’s talismans.”

Hu Zi naturally had Protection Talismans on him. Over the years, Elder Sister had given him quite a few, and Yang Shi had made sure everyone in the family had a few on them to handle special situations.

“Right, you must carry the talisman on you at all times, and if you encounter an unbeatable enemy… you must be willing to throw the talisman. That’s the key to our survival as Martial Cultivators. Did you use an attack talisman?”

“Uh… I just used a Godspeed Talisman drawn by Little Fu.”

“Ridiculous, have you ever seen Martial Cultivators fighting without using talismans? Relying purely on the body is not the Righteous Path! As a punishment, you must go to Little Fu and get 10 talismans, and use them all today.”

“Uh…” Hu Zi secretly felt fortunate to have Shi Brother’s guidance; otherwise, he would have thought that Martial Cultivators must overcome their enemies with their own bodies.

He almost went astray on the path of Martial Cultivation!

For Yang Fu, making First Grade Talismans wasn’t difficult. Every year, Yang Shi would buy him lots of talisman paper, which could be used freely.

With Yang Fu, the Yang Family had already achieved the freedom of First Grade Talismans.

However, the spells that Yang Fu knew were too few, and the Yang Family didn’t have many other spells to learn.

“Elder Sister Chu… why don’t you come to Qingshi County? You said you would personally teach my son some spells.”

Yang Shi hadn’t seen Chu Qiao recently at the Xuan Stone Sect and didn’t know what she was up to; she hadn’t brought any new spells to the family in the past few years.

He originally planned to have Yang Fu also go to the Xuan Stone Sect with him to apprentice and learn Immortal Law, but Yang Genshuo rejected the idea.

Yang Fu’s Talent and cultivation were extremely unique and better suited for lying low; he absolutely couldn’t expose himself prematurely. Otherwise, with his high Talent, if he got plotted against before his cultivation had taken off, it would be a massive loss for the Yang Family!

He was meant to become the strongest man in the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Once he reached Foundation Establishment, casually throwing a Fireball Technique could ignite half a county.

And if Yang Fu wanted to make Second Grade Talismans, he would need to be at least in the Qi Refinement Realm, which was still several years away.

By then, figuring out a way to let him learn the Golden Spirit Sword Skill would be sufficient, combined with American Iaido, sweeping through enemies at the Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation.

“Since Demon Beasts have been appearing strangely recently, we should patrol more to prevent attacks on our estate…”

Yang Shi didn’t take it too seriously, after all, it’s quite normal for Demon Beasts to exhibit some odd behaviors.

Perhaps the Earth Bear was driven out by a Great Demon Beast.

“My dear husband~ what shall we do with the carcass of this bear?”

The essence of the Earth Bear was mostly absorbed by Yang Shi, and now the carcass didn’t have much Spiritual Power left, looking deflated and shrunken.

“This hide is very tenacious, turned into leather armor it could at least match a Low Grade defensive Magic Artifact… As for the meat, let’s share it with the Slaves, and we’ll all eat together.”

Aoooo~~~

The Iron-spined Gray Wolf sat beside Hu Zi, drooling and wagging its tail fervently.

“There’s some for you, don’t worry.”

The Iron-spined Gray Wolf had grown quite sturdy following Hu Zi around in the Devil Wind Forest, eating well and looking almost like a tiger. Hu Zi, when he was free, would even take Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo for a ride on the Gray Wolf.

“A Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer Gray Wolf, huh… half mount, half fighter; its Grade doesn’t compare to the Earth Bear, nor does its combat power.”

Yang Genshuo looked over the Gray Wolf’s data and shook his head.

It was ultimately a low-rank Spirit Beast.

For Spirit Beasts, Grade was too important.

The Shadow Bat, nocturnal and at the Fetal Breathing Tenth Layer, might seem unimpressive but as a high-rank Spirit Beast, it could make the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer Gray Wolf follow it like a dog at night. Moreover, the Gray Wolf was afraid of fire, yelping as the bat set it ablaze.

“If only my Yang Family had someone who knew Beast Taming… Backed by the Devil Wind Forest, we could tame Demon Beasts into Spirit Beasts to guard and protect our estate, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

Taming high-rank Demon Beasts was not something that could be accomplished by feeding Fire Dragon Fruits a few dozen times or performing CPR a few times; it required specialized Beast Taming Techniques.

Afterward, the Yang Family entered the same rhythm as the previous two years.

With abundant resources, the family began rapid development.

Meanwhile, Yang Shi and Hu Zi kept hunting and killing Demon Beasts in the Devil Wind Forest.

However, after a month, no more Qi Refinement Realm Demon Beasts were hunted in the periphery, and it seemed that the previous uprising of Qi Refinement Realm Demon Beasts was just an occasional disturbance.

“This won’t do; the ancestral patriarch said only Qi Refinement Realm Demon Beasts could allow him to cast Immortal Law to strengthen us. Instead of wasting time on the periphery, why don’t we venture deeper into the Devil Wind Forest and have a look?”
