Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying Chapter 4 - 4 I’m very angry right now
Yang Genshuo had long discovered that viewing others' Character Cards was an extrely useful tool, one that could help Yang Shi to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.
As long as he was within 100 ters of Yang Shi, he could flip through that person's Character Card and see their basic information at a glance.
Lately, with nothing better to do, Yang Genshuo took to flipping through the Character Cards of passersby.
He wanted to see if there really were any Cultivators in Qingshi County.
After one year, he had finally found one!
[Na: Jiang Xiaobai]
[Gender: Female]
[Identity: Beggar]
[Life Span: 14/100]
[Realm: None]
[Spirit Root: Five Spirit Roots (tal:17, Wood:23, Water:20, Fire:20, Earth:20)]
[Comprehension: 20]
[Qi Fortune: 20]
[Talent: Wood Elent Affinity (Earth Level)]
[Skill: None]
[Wood Elent Affinity (Earth Level): Increases speed of Wood Elent Cultivation Technique by 10%, increases power of Wood Elent Magic by 10%]
"She ca from outside, I saw her for the first ti."
Yang Genshuo might not rember the faces of these filthy beggars, but such a striking Character Card definitely wouldn't escape his notice.
"Having a Spirit Root proves she can cultivate. Currently, she has no realm or skills, which ans she has not yet stepped into the Immortal Cultivation World, a blank slate. I've stumbled upon a treasure."
Yang Shi does not possess a Spirit Root, and may never beco a Cultivator in his lifeti, a concern for the Yang Family.
No matter what he achieves, even if he reaches the pinnacle of martial arts and becos a congenital grandmaster, he cannot compare to even the lowest level of Cultivator.
"All is inferior, only Immortal Cultivation is supre..."
Observing from a godlike perspective, Yang Genshuo felt this acutely, so he had to ensure that the Yang Family walked the Immortal Cultivation Path step by step, even if Yang Shi could not cultivate in this lifeti, his descendants must.
After observing Qingshi County for a year and listening to rumors from the Treasure Pavilion, Yang Genshuo had co up with so conclusions.
"Among the 70,000 to 80,000 people easily observed in all of Qingshi County, not one possesses a Spirit Root. In terms of statistics, this is already a large enough number to represent a phenonon, which ans the birth of a Spirit Root... is not random. If certain conditions aren't t, it's possible that no children with Spirit Roots will ever be born."
"And this condition... according to the knowledge of genetics from middle school biology, is likely related to whether the parents have Spirit Roots."
Cultivators are also human, and Yang Genshuo believed that so modern knowledge could be used to explain this phenonon.
"In order for the Yang Family's descendants to have Cultivators with Spirit Roots, Yang Shi needs to marry a Cultivator as his wife!"
Yang Genshuo looked at the young beggar on the screen; even her mud-covered face began to look delicate and attractive.
"Five Spirit Roots, probably the lowest Talent, right? But it doesn't matter, having them is better than not. Moreover, she cos with the Earth Level Talent [Wood Elent Affinity], her cultivation speed shouldn't be too slow. If she can step onto the Immortal Cultivation Path, in the future, she could beco our Yang Family's..."
While muttering to himself, Yang Genshuo suddenly paused, his expression turning complex.
...
"Ancestral Grandfather, why take her in? What is exceptional about her?"
Yang Shi knelt in the ancestral hall and inquired.
A line of golden characters appeared in the air:
"The workings of destiny should not be revealed. Treat her well, and you will understand in ti..."
As the golden text disappeared, Yang Shi was left with questions but didn't think too much of it. The Ancestral Grandfather was a great power among Immortals; there must be his reasons.
He walked to the front courtyard.
Jiang Xiaobai, who had just bathed and changed her clothes, had just co out. She was tilting her head, taking in the Yang Family's large courtyard with a lively and fearless look, very different from an ordinary woman's bashfulness.
After washing off the gri and ridding herself of the stench, Jiang Xiaobai revealed fair skin and a petite figure. Her tangled hair, once combed, beca smooth, cascading from her shoulder. The delicate oval of her face complented by her jet-black hair accentuated the youthful vigor and freshness that sprang forth from the girl.
Yang Shi, who had not dared to look a woman in the eye for 12 years, felt a bit awkward at this mont. His gaze darted away; he wanted to look but was too embarrassed to stare openly, forcibly maintaining the dignity of an elder of the Yang household with hands clasped behind his back.
"Master Yang... my na is Jiang Xiaobai."
"Oh, my na is Yang Shi."
"Master Yang is so young. How old are you this year? Are you engaged?"
"Eighteen, on my own."
"Then from today onwards, I shall live here, serving your daily needs and following your orders, if that's all right?"
"Fine."
"Are there any rules in the Yang Family I should know?"
"Yes, entering the ancestral hall in the back courtyard is forbidden. Step one foot inside, and I will cripple you and throw you out to feed the stray dogs."
"Understood!"
Jiang Xiaobai got a fright from Yang Shi, who stressed each word so seriously. Her body visibly shook.
Yang Shi, with his hands clasped behind his back, turned around, leaving Jiang Xiaobai with a profound and inscrutable silhouette, the corner of his mouth curling up slightly.
He had never lived with soone else before.
"Master Yang, what would you like to eat tonight? Would you like to bathe? This servant will go and prepare in advance."
"Hmm...rest for today, we'll talk about it tomorrow," Yang Shi paused before continuing, "No need to say the word 'servant,' just call yourself Xiaobai, and there's no need to address as master either, simply call ..."
"Brother Yang?" Jiang Xiaobai ventured softly.
"That works too."
...
[A year has passed, and Yang Shi is conducting the ancestral worship ceremony in the ancestral hall.]
With a respectful expression, Yang Shi placed three sticks of incense and reported to the ancestral tablets:
"Thanks to our ancestor's gift of a safehouse, this year Yang Shi has transford from an insignificant beggar to an esteed Master Yang. My strength has improved by leaps and bounds, progressing from the second layer of Body Refining to the fourth layer. I thank the elder ancestor!"
"In the future, I will diligently practice martial arts to reach the innate grandmaster level as soon as possible and ascend upon the Xiang Family to avenge the deep-seated blood feud of the Yang Family!"
Yang Shi's gaze was resolute, a complete change from the self-deprecating jester of the previous year.
Bang, bang, bang!
With utmost respect, Yang Shi kowtowed three tis, and as the smoke swirled, the offerings on the altar gradually disappeared.
[Yang Shi has successfully completed the ancestral worship ceremony]
[Incense Fire Value 10]
[You have received tributes from the mbers of the Yang Family: 20 doses of Qi-Boosting Blood-Tonic Powder and 10 Solid Essence Rejuvenation Pills.]
[Would you like to bestow rewards upon the descendants of the Yang Family?]
One day in the modern world is a year in the Immortal Cultivation World.
Yang Genshuo had been staring at the screen for a day without sleep.
"That feels better~"
Looking at the 20 packets of herbs and 10 porcelain bottles that appeared beside his computer, Yang Genshuo's tired face revealed a satisfied smile.
He had specially manifested once to designate the offerings for Yang Shi, so he wouldn't send over so so-called high-value junk.
In Qingshi County, although there were no cultivators, everyone practiced martial arts with a strong martial cultivation atmosphere.
The diverse dicinal supplents for martial cultivators were not only comprehensive but also of a quality that modern world dicinal materials couldn't match.
These two types of dicinal supplents were not only useful for martial cultivators, but also greatly beneficial for ordinary people. However, they were expensive and unaffordable for anyone but wealthy families.
As for their effects... they were straightforward and found in their nas.
"After I bestow the rewards I'll eat one to test its dicinal properties."
As for the rewards for Yang Shi, he had already purchased them around 300 days into the ga ti.
"I admit that in your world there are superior natural materials than ours, but what if I introduce our modern food industry system? What would you do then?"
"Go, my shopping cart!"
He had ordered takeout three hours earlier, spending his last ten thousand in savings to clear out several supermarket shelves and buy so high cost-performance modern industrial food products. This was the best option he could quickly purchase at the mont.
Duang~Duang~
Five large boxes landed in the backyard, filled to the brim with colorful packaged food. Yang Shi respectfully kowtowed.
"Thank the elder ancestor for the generous reward~"
Then he picked up the instruction manual written by Yang Genshuo and began to read.
On the other end, Yang Genshuo couldn't wait to try one of the specialty supplents for martial cultivators from the Immortal Cultivation World.
He picked up a dicinal pill about the size of a Liuwei Dihuang pill and brought it to his nose for a sniff.
A unique scent of traditional Chinese dicine was present, accompanied by... strands of a fresh herbal aroma that made the pill not only inoffensive to sll but also gave a refreshing, decongesting sensation.
"Definitely good stuff, let's see how effective it is!"
"I hate it when it drips on my hands!"
He swallowed a Solid Essence Rejuvenation Pill in one bite and felt a cool sensation stream down his throat into his body. The strength of the sensation was so intense that he could even feel the outline of his own stomach.
The power of the dicine spread from the stomach, and coolness infused his blood as it circulated throughout his body. The sensation slowly spread everywhere, making him feel as if he had been cleansed from the inside, his vision beca clear, and the fatigue from staying up a day vanished.
Then, as his blood flowed more vigorously, the dicinal power gathered in his kidneys, pulled by an unknown force.
Boom!
A gust of hot air burst out of Yang Genshuo's mouth, the coolness faded, and instead, a hot sensation rose from his lower abdon.
"Hmm?"
Yang Genshuo felt a slight, unusual change in his body, as if he had returned to his eighteenth year when he dared to compete in strength against steel bars.
He promptly took out his phone and dialed his girlfriend's number.
"Wanting, hurry! Co to my place, I've got a surprise for you!"
"Don't dawdle, I'm really fired up right now!"
