Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 560 - 489: Old man, even if I were to take in discip

As Yang Zhenshan was imrsed in the surprise brought on by the Three Yellow Plums tree, a chubby man ca running over, saying with a beaming face, "Could it be that Marquis Jing’an has personally arrived?"

Yang Zhenshan ca back to his senses and looked at the man, "I am indeed Marquis Jing’an, and who might you be?"

"Please, do not mind , I am Manager Lin Kuangguang from the Sanshan Valley, pleased to et Marquis Jing’an!" Lin Kuangguang said, smiling like the Maitreya Buddha.

Yang Zhenshan sized him up, "Manager Lin, I’m sorry for the trouble!"

This Manager Lin appeared quite ordinary, but from his aura and deanor, one could tell he was no common man.

Not an Innate Martial Artist, but at the very least, he had a cultivation beyond the Postnatal Eighth Layer.

"Haha, Marquis Jing’an, please co in!"

Lin Kuangguang led Yang Zhenshan into the valley.

Yang Zhenshan walked and observed the surrounding scenery, while Ding Qiu followed behind him obediently, not daring to overstep.

This was the Sanshan Valley, ho to seven Innate Martial Artists, so of whom were ancient figures who had lived for over a hundred years.

Now, Yang Zhenshan had so understanding of the seven Innate Martial Artists of the Sanshan Valley.

The seven Innate Martial Artists were Zhang Ye, Granny ng, An Yuxing, Yue Gu, Jian Chengfeng, Lin Shanshui, and Chen Mingxi.

Among them, in terms of age, Zhang Ye was the eldest, reportedly over 130 years old; Granny ng ca next, An Yuxing was only third, but he too was over a hundred years old.

For Zhang Ye and Granny ng, Yang Zhenshan knew very little, as these two were indeed ancient relics, and it was difficult to find out information about them.

An Yuxing was, of course, the one Yang Zhenshan was most familiar with.

And Yue Gu, who was also over ninety years old, was originally a Jianghu Martial Artist; after breaking through to the Innate Realm, he had lived in the Sanshan Valley ever since, for forty years now.

Jian Chengfeng had once risen to the position of the Crown Prince’s Tutor and was acquainted with Zhou Mao; Yang Zhenshan learned quite a bit about him through Zhou Mao.

Jian Chengfeng had another identity—that of the ntor of the Great General Jiang Zhen, who clashed with Emperor Chengping over so issues, and had even once caused a ruckus in the Emperor’s Imperial Study Room.

As for Xun Shanshui, he was also a legendary figure. This man was not just a re Martial Artist; he had once held the position of Minister at the Honglu Temple. Yes, he was a civil servant, who had now beco an Innate Martial Artist.

Lu Zhongdao, the Family Head of the Lu family in Anning County, used to be his subordinate. When Xun Shanshui broke through to the Innate Realm, he retired to live in the Sanshan Valley, and Lu Zhongdao then took over as Minister at Honglu Temple.

Now, Lu Zhongdao had already retired and returned to his hotown, yet Xun Shanshui still resided in the valley.

The last one, Chen Mingxi, was the youngest Innate Martial Artist in the valley, now aged sixty-five.

Speaking of her, there was indeed much to talk about.

Chen Mingxi, Princess Ming Xi—yes, she was from the royal family, and moreover, she was the biological sister of Emperor Chengping, that is, the aunt of Emperor Yanping.

Princess Ming Xi had entered Sanshan Valley about forty years ago, shortly after Emperor Chengping ascended the throne. Back then, she was not an Innate Martial Artist, but after her husband and son died from illnesses, her heart grew cold, and she wished to beco a nun. Emperor Chengping, caring deeply for his sister and not wishing her to beco a nun, allowed her to stay and recuperate in Sanshan Valley.

However, Emperor Chengping did not expect that after arriving at Sanshan Valley, Princess Ming Xi would diligently study and train hard every day; her cultivation grew by leaps and bounds. It took only over a decade for her to accumulate Innate True Qi, stepping into the Half-step Innate Realm.

Of course, Chen Mingxi’s achievents would not be possible without the aid of the Three Yellow Plums and the guidance of Granny ng. Chen Mingxi could be regarded as a disciple of Granny ng.

And so, Chen Mingxi has remained in Sanshan Valley and beca the youngest Innate Martial Artist there.

These matters were all relayed to Yang Zhenshan by others; he himself had not t Princess Ming Xi.

But for a princess to beco an Innate Martial Artist was nothing short of legendary.

Unfortunately, in the current world, there are not many who still rember Princess Ming Xi.

Besides the seven Innate Martial Artists, there were many of their disciples in Sanshan Valley, as well as nurous servants responsible for taking care of the valley, totaling around four or five hundred people.

Like Lin Kuangguang, he was actually a disciple of Jian Chengfeng, but being idle, he took on the role of manager in the valley, usually responsible for receiving visiting Innate Martial Artists.

Led by Lin Kuangguang, Yang Zhenshan arrived at the gate of An Yuxing’s courtyard.

The courtyard wasn’t large, just a three-sectioned residence.

However, behind the courtyard was a dicinal Field, planted with many dicinal herbs.

In fact, there were many dicinal Fields inside Sanshan Valley; Yang Zhenshan had just seen a large dicinal Field, with no less than a hundred varieties of dicinal herbs within.

Lin Kuangguang knocked on the courtyard door, which opened, revealing an old man with white hair—it was not An Yuxing.

"Old Han, is Senior An at ho? Marquis Jing’an has co to visit!" Lin Kuangguang said with a smile.

Old Han looked at Yang Zhenshan outside the door, hurriedly opened it wider, "It turns out to be Marquis Jing’an paying a visit. The old master has been ntioning Marquis Jing’an these past few days, saying that the wine given by Marquis Jing’an is a rare delicacy!"

"Hehe, then please convey my presence to him!" said Yang Zhenshan with a smile.

"Please, Marquis Jing’an!" Old Han first led Yang Zhenshan through the door, while Lin Kuangguang took his leave.

The furniture in the hall was old and simple, but it did not seem shabby.

After waiting for a short while in the hall, An Yuxing ca with a wine jug in hand, emanating a strong sll of wine.

The old man always had a wine jug close by, bringing the sll of liquor wherever he went, a true wine lover.

"Why have you co?" An Yuxing was sowhat surprised by Yang Zhenshan’s visit.
