Dan Long was a member of the Dan Clan and had been rescued by the Yang Family in his early years, so he was willing to serve the Yang Family for a hundred years.
It was because of this agreement that Dan Long was pushed out of his clan and was no longer accepted into the Dan Clan. This had always been his regret.
Originally, he had hopes of becoming a Saint Alchemist as his talent was not any worse than his peers in the Dan Clan.
However, after being expelled from the clan, without the help of the clan, it was extremely difficult for him to become a Saint Alchemist. The Yang Family did not have a Saint Alchemist, so there were many things that they could not help him with. This also caused his cultivation to not increase by much.
He had already thought of giving up on the position of Saint Alchemist, but who knew that there would be a silver lining. The Yang Family actually had a young patriarch with outstanding talent in Alchemy. In a short two years, he had displayed outstanding Alchemy skills and become a top Saint Elder of the Alchemist Alliance. This was simply too shocking.
Dan Long was extremely proud of his decision to follow Yang Wu and let Dan Zi take Yang Wu as her master.
Not only had Dan Zi awakened the Peach Pink Flame, but she had also been personally taught by the Dan Clan's old ancestor. He had also received personal guidance from Yang Wu, so both grandfather and grandson had great gains. There was hope for Dan Zi to become a Saint Alchemist.
Yang Wu asked Dan Long, "Dan Long, since you are not willing to return to the Dan Clan, on one hand, it is to fulfill your promise to my Yang Family, but on the other hand, it is because the Dan Clan has chilled your heart. Is that so?"
"Young patriarch is correct. When I first came to the Yang Family, I only wanted to stay for a hundred years before leaving. Who knew that the people of the clan would conclude that I had betrayed them and even harmed my son and daughter-in-law. I really do not want to go back," Dan Long said with a trace of sadness in his eyes.
"En, don't worry and stay. As long as I know it, I will teach it to you and do my best to help you become a Saint Alchemist," Yang Wu promised.
"Many thanks for young patriarch's generosity," Dan Long bowed.
If it was before, he might not have believed that Yang Wu had such ability, but he no longer had such thoughts.
Yang Wu said seriously, "Don't be in such a hurry to thank me. I do have a condition. I hope that you can help the Yang Family train a group of alchemists. Are you willing?"
"Young Clan Leader, feel free to instruct me. Danlong will do as you say." Danlong agreed without hesitation.
"En, don't worry. I won't let you spread the Dan Clan's alchemy techniques. I will teach you other alchemy techniques. You can help me pass them down." Yang Wu said with satisfaction.
"Thank you for your understanding, young patriarch."
"It won't be long before the Apothecary Alliance builds a branch in the Yang Family City. When the time comes, I will appoint you as the branch master. You have a long way to go."
Danlong was completely stunned.
He thought that Yang Wu only wanted him to bring a group of alchemists to serve the Yang Wu Family. Who knew that Yang Wu's ambition was so big that he actually wanted to create an Alliance Division in the Yang Family? The significance of this was extraordinary.
Miaomiao, who had been silent all this time, said, "Boss, if you need anything, just tell me. I'll tell the ancestors."
"When I need your help, I won't be polite," Yang Wu replied.
"That's good." Miaomiao smiled.
He wasn't afraid that Yang Wu would use him. He was only afraid that Yang Wu wouldn't use him. A person still needed to have value to have a sense of existence.
… …
Yang Wu tidied up all the refined pills and handed most of them to Yang Taihe. He let him and Yang Jinghai discuss how to split them. He didn't ask.
Just based on this batch of pills, his contribution far surpassed the contributions of the Yang Family's Holy Elders. Even Yang Jinghai, the Patriarch, felt inferior.
Yang Wu was fully deserving of the title of young patriarch of the Yang Family.
If Yang Wu was willing, Yang Jinghai was willing to give up his position at any time.
Yang Taihe naturally wouldn't let him do that. Yang Wu was still growing and couldn't be bound by family matters. Moreover, Yang Wu's goal wasn't just to be the patriarch of the Yang Family. His goal was the sea of stars.
Yang Wu dragged his tired body back to the bamboo courtyard. After bathing, he fell into a deep sleep.
These three months had been too tiring for him.
Although his strength was constantly increasing and he seemed to be in a good state, in reality, the consumption of mental energy was the greatest. Without proper rest and adjustment, it was easy to go berserk.
The original Four Fragrances of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter had already been swapped out. There were only two women left to serve Yang Wu. One was his mother, Su Roumei, and the other was Wan Lanxin.
It wasn't that the Four Fragrances of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter were not enough to satisfy Yang Wu. It was just that Yang Jinghai's status was different from before. The Four Fragrances were Yang Jinghai's maids. When he had left them to Yang Wu, it was to show that he valued Yang Wu, but he also had the intention of letting them monitor him. Now, there was no need for that, and it wasn't appropriate to keep them here.
Although Yang Wu didn't mind, the elders in the clan still decided to do so.
Su Roumei was Yang Wu's mother, so there was no problem for her to stay here. Wan Lanxin had also confirmed her relationship with Yang Wu, so there was no problem for her to stay. The other maids were temporarily unsuitable.
Now, Wan Lanxin had already followed Saint Yang Liuyu to cultivate and didn't come back often. Only his mother, Su Roumei, stayed here.
Yang Wu naturally couldn't let his mother serve him. He could take care of himself. He wasn't that delicate.
Yang Wu slept for three days and three nights, falling into a deep sleep.
For powerful martial artists, even if they didn't sleep and just meditated, they could still maintain a state of high spirits. But many times, if they really wanted to recover their spirit, it was better to sleep.
This was the law of the human body, and the best way to return to the origin of rest.
When Yang Wu woke up, his entire body was glowing, and his spirit was a hundred times stronger. The air he breathed became fresh, and everything he saw was sparkling. His condition was extremely good.
Yang Wu stretched and looked at the calm lake outside the window. There was sunlight shining on the surface of the lake, as if it was dyed with a layer of golden color. It was truly beautiful.
Yang Wu was in a mood for fun. He leaped out of the window, and like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, he jumped into the lake.
Bang!
Yang Wu dove into the lake. The Dragon Turtle Water Suppressing Stance was activated, and the water profound qi from all directions gathered towards him.
The Silver Patterned Turtle that was cultivating at the bottom of the lake was startled by him.
Yang Wu's voice rang out, and he said, "Little Silver, I'll teach you a secret technique. Watch carefully."
In the next instant, Yang Wu seemed to have turned into a Dragon Turtle. He stepped on the wind and waves, one hand forming a fist, and the other hand forming a palm. The power of the fist and palm intertwined, and the lake water was instantly overturned. That terrifying power gave the Silver Patterned Turtle a great fright. It was also swept up by the waves and rushed into the sky, unable to fall down for a long time.
Yang Wu refined the Dragon Turtle's blood essence, and finally comprehended the essence of the Dragon Turtle Sea-turning Technique, possessing the ability to turn the sea.
This was definitely comparable to a shocking Saint Technique.
Yang Wu continuously waved his fist and palm, and the Dragon Turtle behind him roared. This lake water was completely under his control, and he could train however he wanted. His movements were so relaxed and elegant.
The Silver Patterned Turtle looked at each of Yang Wu's movements, and imprinted them deeply in its mind. It was incomparably surprised. "As expected, it's a Mystical Power of the Turtle Clan."
The bloodline of the Silver Patterned Turtle wasn't weak, but when compared to those top-notch members of the Turtle Clan, it was still far inferior.
Other than his innate talent, his other attacking methods were slightly monotonous. Yang Wu's Sea-turning Technique was suitable as a trump card, and he was confident that he could cultivate it to a perfect state.
After Yang Wu cultivated for a while, he stopped and asked, "Little Silver, have you memorized it?"
The Silver Patterned Turtle nodded repeatedly. "I've memorized it."
"Mhm, then you should stay here and enter seclusion to break through to a higher realm. Be prepared to accompany me to participate in the Heavenly Dragon Rankings competition," Yang Wu said seriously. After that, he rewarded the Black Tortoise Blood Essence to the Silver Patterned Turtle.
This was the decision Yang Wu made after thinking about it thrice.
The Silver Patterned Turtle was very hot-blooded and had displayed its loyalty. It was time for it to be repaid.
Even though Yang Wu didn't mistreat the Silver Patterned Turtle, he hadn't truly given it the best resources. This Black Tortoise Blood Essence was the true cultivation resource.
The Silver Patterned Turtle's senses were very sharp. When it smelled the blood aura of a Ruler, it lay down on the ground.
"My … My Lord, this is?" The Silver Patterned Turtle asked hesitantly.
"Black Tortoise Blood Essence!" Yang Wu responded indifferently and bestowed the Black Tortoise Blood Essence to the Silver Patterned Turtle. He didn't say anything else and returned to the bamboo courtyard.
The Silver Patterned Turtle acted as if it had obtained a priceless treasure and accepted the Black Tortoise Blood Essence. It said to Yang Wu solemnly, "My Lord, don't worry. I won't let you down."
The Black Tortoise Clan was the number one imperial family in the Turtles. Its status was supreme. Obtaining a Blood Essence meant that it had a chance to evolve into a Black Tortoise Clan member. To it, this reward was too meaningful.
After Yang Wu returned to the bamboo courtyard, Su Roumei came up to him and asked, "Wu 'er, you just woke up and you're already making such a big commotion. What are you doing?"
Yang Wu put on his clothes and said to his mother with a smile, "Mother, I'm cultivating. I must've scared you."
Being able to see one's loved ones every day when one woke up was the best kind of happiness.
"You're not scared. It's just that you've just finished your closed-door cultivation. You've only slept for 3 days, yet you're cultivating again. My heart aches when I see you like this. There's no need for you and your father to work so hard," Su Roumei said with heartache.
She had taken the Face Preserving Pill refined by Yang Wu and also cultivated the "Immortal Planting Art". Her skin was even brighter and her temperament was even more refined. She looked like an eighteen year old beautiful girl.
Any woman who could maintain this appearance would definitely be very happy every day. However, from time to time, a trace of worry would appear between her brows. Her days were not as happy as she imagined.
Other than Su Yanshuai, everyone else in her family had died. This was a knot in her heart.
Her youngest son still had not returned. This was another knot in her heart.
Her eldest son had a great responsibility on his shoulders and was constantly in danger. This was the third knot in her heart.
These knots were in her heart. She did not feel comfortable at all.
Yang Wu hugged Su Roumei's shoulder and said affectionately, "Mother, as a man, you have to accomplish great deeds on the battlefield. If you don't cultivate, it's easy to be neglected. It's very easy to be surpassed by others. This is a very shameful thing. Moreover, we also need powerful martial arts to be able to live well in any place."
"Yes, mother knows that you want to improve yourself. I just don't want you to work too hard."
"That's right mother, how about I arrange something for you to do?"
