Chapter 603: Chapter 402 Yang Shi Retrieves the Body_2

Just after a few big meals, I was almost fully recovered.

Ding Zhen looked at his friend’s current state with amazement.

“Brother Yang’s strength now… is unfathomable, the Yang Family’s ancestral blessings are indeed profound!”

“This sword… is even more ingeniously crafted.”

Having never seen a Spiritual Artifact, Ding Zhen couldn’t put down the [Ruyi Illusion Sword] he was caressing.

His current attack Magic Treasure was still the Mid Grade Treasure [Thunderbolt Sword] bestowed upon him by Murong Ziyuan back then.

Usually extremely sharp, but in the presence of Yang Shi’s [Ruyi Illusion Sword]… his [Thunderbolt Sword] trembled in Spiritual Energy, as if it feared this sword.

“Stop touching it, it’s so ticklish!”

A cute Sword Spirit jumped out from inside and forcefully pushed Ding Zhen.

Ding Zhen’s eyes lit up.

“This is… the legendary Artifact Spirit! Hiss~ it truly has a spirit, good, good! Brother Yang possessing such a sword, will surely be able to suppress the Demon Clan in the future, elevating the prestige of our Human Clan!”

“If I could have such a sword… I’d be willing to live a hundred years less.”

Ding Zhen liked the sword so much, feeling it was a sword anyone could adapt to, as he cultivated Gold Element Magic, he especially loved using swords.

He couldn’t let it go.

“Thanks to the care of the ancestor, who planned for our Yang Family for 20 years, obtaining this sword and this garment.”

“Brother Ding… you need not envy me, I simply happened to encounter the ancestor’s awakening, everything now is enjoyed thanks to the ancestral blessings, while you have reached this point step by step with your own efforts.”

“Your future path is still long… you will undoubtedly obtain a Spiritual Artifact through your own strength.”

Yang Shi and Ding Zhen are best friends, their collaboration over the years has made them closer than family, and they won’t bother with formalities.

Hearing this, Ding Zhen’s eyes flickered slightly, and he reluctantly set down the sword.

“Alas… Brother Yang, such a treasure, I’m afraid it can only be seen by your side, and I’m afraid it’s difficult to have such a chance in this life.”

“Why so, Brother Ding, you are at the Golden Core Stage, enjoying a Life Span of 500 years, with more than 300 years remaining.”

Ding Zhen is 40 years older than Yang Shi, this year Yang Shi is already 128, while Ding Zhen is only 168. For a Golden Core Stage cultivator, his path is still long.

Hearing this, Ding Zhen sighed.

“Brother Yang, you and I have been in the Danai Dynasty for so many years, how much do we know about the land beneath our feet?”

“We should understand it quite well, right.”

Yang Shi and Ding Zhen have traveled to many places, much of the land surveying work back then was done with the disciples of the Xuan Stone Sect.

“Besides the Devil Wind Forest in the Danai Dynasty… is there any hidden treasure? Secret Realm? Or Spirit Vein?”

“This… has not been discovered, it seems unlikely.”

Yang Shi could only give a vague answer.

“We haven’t found any treasure all these years… if it’s only on this continent, no matter how long we live, what opportunities await us?”

A trace of confusion flashed in Ding Zhen’s eyes.

As a native cultivator, Ding Zhen had talent and determination, and also great fortune, achieving success with Yang Shi and eventually becoming the Sect Leader of the Xuan Stone Sect.

With the arrival of the Demon Clan, seeing so many powerful demons, he increasingly felt that his days were numbered…

“Brother Yang, you’ve told me about Fu’er and the Feng Family’s matters, now… I can somewhat understand why the Feng Family is so persistent about the teleportation gate.”

Yang Shi could see Ding Zhen’s confusion, what he wanted, the Danai Dynasty didn’t have.

Although he knew the Immortal Cultivation Path was still long, he had already seen the end of his path, just like the former Sect Leader Xuan Zhen, sitting in meditation at the Golden Core Realm.

Yang Shi didn’t know how to respond to his friend’s words at the moment.

Such treasures, perhaps only outside can they be fashioned.

The Danai Dynasty doesn’t even have such high-grade materials.

“Brother Yang, I have a recent premonition… the Demon Clan must want to go to Lingmiao Continent, they won’t be satisfied here for long.”

“That would be a good thing for us, just let those idle cultivators in the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect handle these demons.”

Yang Shi brought it up with disdain, after so many years of tribute, the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect hadn’t even sent people down to deal with the Demon Clan.

Really incomprehensible.

“Not an ounce of responsibility from a major sect! I think next year we won’t pay the tribute either!”

Yang Shi said this angrily.

“I am of the same opinion… eighty percent of our Spirit Fields have been ravaged by the Demon Clan, paying more would just deplete our years of reserves, this is not right…”

Ding Zhen stopped being sentimental and talked about the facts.

No matter what, he must first protect his own Dynasty, everything else can wait until the Demon Clan is under control.

The two planned some recent city affairs and budget expenses.

After some governance, Ding Zhen left the Yang Family’s Manor.

Yang Genshuo listened with great interest on the side, occasionally making suggestions.

This kind of policy for managing a cultivator city, he quite enjoyed participating in.

It felt like… playing a cultivation version of the game Skylines.

Moreover, many policies that seemed complex below were, in fact, casually laid out from above.

They didn’t seem to possess any profound technique, but were enough to keep this cultivator city steadily operational.

Yang Genshuo occasionally spoke a few words, being hailed by the two as a divine city management instructor.

“Who would have thought, a script-kill boss graduating from a Seeds academy is still an advisor to the City Lord?”

“The world… is just a huge rough-and-tumble troupe.”

This world, many times isn’t as meticulous as we imagine.

Many bugs exist.

For instance, just carrying a ladder, you can enter any upscale office building, supermarket, even a restroom.

After Yang Shi killed two Demon Clan members, many came to the city to congratulate him, Ding Zhen being the last one.

The two Golden Core Demon Clan corpses lay in the Yang Family courtyard, narrating Yang Shi’s astonishing feats.
