Just as half of the Yuxian was in a state of chaos due to the giant locust, the villagers of the Tuqiu Village were already in a hurry to remove the harvests from the spiritual valley s, turn them into granules, bask them in the sun and store them. Just as the entire Tuqiu Village was starting to get busy, Yang Junshan brought Hu Niu back to the spirit spring in the Western Mountain to once again start cultivating.
With Yang Junshan's age, logically speaking, he should be participating in the household's work to help the farmers, but Yang Junshan did not need to worry about the family's matters, since Yang Tiangang's prestige in Tuqiu Village was at its peak, and many villagers were willing to fight over him, even Han Xiumei did not need to do anything, they only needed to watch their own fields.
But Yang Junshan was not cultivating inside the Spirit Spring Cave at this time, he was checking out the wounds on his shoulder.
That day, when he killed the Spirit Demon Locust in the pomegranate forest, at the last moment, Hu Niu was ambushed by the giant locust guards lying in ambush on the tree. In order to protect Hu Niu, Yang Junshan had been cut in half by the giant locust's wings.
At that time, although Yang Junshan felt that the wound was not light, the bleeding on his shoulder was not serious, to the point that both Su Baozhang and the rest thought that the injury was not severe, especially after coming down from the west mountain, the wound on his shoulder had already started to congeal blood scabs by itself, Yang Tiangang thought that it was just a cut on the skin, it was no big deal.
However, only Yang Junshan himself knew that his shoulder had been cut an inch, if it was anyone else, they would not dare to be careless, at least not like him, who was left with such a small amount of blood.
Ever since Yang Junshan had hidden his true body and activated his top-grade Immortal marrow, Yang Junshan had been hoping that he would be able to have a special talent like Xu Jing. However, after levelling up to the Spirit Enlightenment Realm, he never realized that there were any changes to his body, and his special talents seemed to be just wishful thinking.
It was only after his trip to the Tuo Wu Shan that Yang Junshan realized that he could actually travel through the miasma without worrying about being poisoned. Although it was not truly impervious to poisons, his body was extremely resistant to poisons, and there was no doubt about it;
Could it be that aside from the ability to resist poisons, his body also possessed the ability to quickly heal itself? What kind of strange technique was this? He had never heard of any other innate ability.
Shaking his head, the somewhat confused Yang Junshan could only concentrate on the practice of the Mountain Monarch's Map and the [Wutu Spiritual Art].
Although Hu Niu was not able to communicate with him, but from Hu Niu's cultivation of Tiger Might, Yang Junshan was afraid that it had already reached the level of the Howling Tiger Diagram, and compared to Yang Junshan, the eight images of the Mountain Lord Painting were much more suitable for Hu Niu to train in.
Hu Niu's current cultivation could be considered to be summoning spirits according to Yang Junshan's judgement, but a demonic cultivator like Hu Niu naturally did not need Yang Junshan to help him find immortal spirits, but rather, she started to condense her own immortal spirit inside Hu Niu's body after bathing in demonic energy. That was to say, if Hu Niu was pulled out of its skin, she might even be able to obtain one or two high quality immortal spirits.
However, Yang Junshan himself knew that Hu Niu's future would be extraordinary. According to the great demon cultivators in his previous life, all of them had already awakened their intelligence before the great change occurred, and with Hu Niu's current aptitude, coupled with her own help, her future accomplishments would not be any worse than those great demons in his previous life.
As for Yang Junshan himself, although his cultivation had already advanced to the third stage of Mortal Realm, the third stage of Mortal Realm was an important transition stage, and the cultivation world usually viewed the third stage of Mortal Realm as the middle stage of Mortal Realm. It was precisely because during this stage, cultivators would often need to spend a large amount of time to accumulate and store their cultivation, so that they could finally turn their spiritual cavities into immortal roots, and lay down the most basic source of cultivation.
The reason was very simple. The quality of the immortal spirit essences he used to open the immortal spiritual cavities was too high, expanding them far beyond that of ordinary people, and it was not easy for him to fill the spiritual cavities with spirit energy, not to mention that the [Wutu Spiritual Art] Yang Junshan cultivated was originally a stable method, and it was famous for being very slow in the cultivation methods of the Heaven-Shaken Sect.
If you want to speed up your cultivation, you can only think from the cultivation pills, Jade Coins, spirit veins and other things you need to use. As for cultivation experience, with the experiences of your past life as your foundation, I am not lacking in it, but to find an opportunity to go out and leave, after moving from the Chenyu County to the Wasteland Town, I did not go out of the realm of the Mengyu County. Previously, my cultivation was not high enough, but now I have to go gather some good stuff to prepare for the future.
After staying in the Spirit Spring Cave for a few days, Yang Junshan brought Hu Niu home. As soon as he entered the house, he felt that the atmosphere in the house wasn't right today.
Seeing his second brother carefully pointing to the living room, Yang Junshan asked: "Is father back?"
Yang Junping glanced in the direction of the hall and said: "I'm back. I'm throwing a tantrum witiger-like face!"
Yang Junshan asked curiously: "Why?"
Yang Junping said: "I have to ask, you go ask mother, right, Xu Sanniang and Zhang Huzi's father just came too!"
When Yang Junshan walked to the front of the hall, he heard Blacksmith Zhang cursing loudly: "What? The entire Yuxian has at least three counties that have been affected by the giant locust. Forget about the others, just the fact that our Mengyu County Ling Tian has been able to maintain our 30% harvest in the past years is already pretty good. Just this year, the taxes on food in the Heaven-Shaken Sect have been reduced by one third? Isn't this the same as digging out the last bit of spiritual valley that was used to maintain cultivation from the gaps of their teeth? No matter what, you are still a Village Head, how can you not fight with the town for you? "
With a "pa" sound, Yang Tiangang slapped the table and said, "Do you think this daddy didn't say, do you think that six or seven Village Head s are all mute? But the order that came from the Heaven-Shaken Sect was for the grain tax to be reduced by one third, what can this daddy do!? "
The more Yang Tiangang spoke, the angrier he got, and he continued to speak: "Now that I have arrived and am guarding all of the Village Head s, all of them speak sarcastically to me, 'Lao Yang, your Tuqiu Village has been set by the standards of the entire town, and the transit rate of the giant locust has only been reduced by one third, and the food tax on the Heaven-Shaken Sect has just been reduced by one third as well. If there really ielationship, then your father will definitely give you a zero food tax, and everyone else will definitely pay 10%! "
Xu Sanniang's voice immediately came out: "Calm down brothers, this is all because of the food tax, it has nothing to do with us, it's not like we need to pinch ourselves first!"
The hall was quiet for a moment, then Xu Sanniang asked again: Brother Yang, what do you think of the Guardian, Lord Liu?
Yang Tiangang said in a muffled voice: "Liu Zhen has been hiding, he probably knows that it's not easy to explain this to the Village Head, it was Qian Chunlai who always passed on the information to the various Village Head s!"
The Blacksmith Zhang's voice still carried anger as he said: "It couldn't be that Qian Chunlai, that bastard, is acting behind his back, right?"
"He dares!" Yang Tiangang said in a deep voice: "He's just a scammer that bullies the weak and fears the strong, he, Qian Chunlai, does not have that much guts. Even Liu Zhenbiao does not dare to offend the masses on this matter, but this also proves that the amount of food tax that the Heaven-Shaken Sect has set for him is unquestionable."
The Blacksmith Zhang said fiercely: "Are you not afraid of losing your heart in Yuxian?"
"The human heart?" Yang Tiangang sneered: "What are you afraid of, Heaven-Shaken Sect? How many years has sucuge being been in the Yuxian? Who can tell? As long as Heaven-Shaken Sect says they want to recruit outer disciples, many cultivators in the entire Yuxian will try their best to hide their heads inside, paying the food tax and not changing the amount will only be a lie, and this is only if they are outer disciples! "
Xu Sanniang had sensed the hidden meaning behind Yang Tiangang's words, and laughed: "Brother Yang has shone a lot this time, for our village, and even for us from the entire Mengyu County, who knows if you will be able to make a name for yourself after this time's Heaven-Shaken Sect recruitment?"
After he finished speaking, both Xu Sanniang and the Blacksmith Zhang looked at Yang Tiangang witint of admiration. But who knew that after Xu Sanniang finished speaking, Yang Tiangang actually went silent, and only smoked even more violently with the sound of "Ba Da Da".
Seeing that Yang Tiangang did not speak, the two of them looked towards Han Xiumei and heard Han Xiumei speaking fiercely: "Heaven-Shaken Sect is unfair. This time, no matter what, it will not be our turn to be the head of the sect when Heaven-Shaken Sect accepts outer disciples!"
"Why?" Blacksmith Zhang and Xu Sanniang asked at the same time. Normally, the three families would fight extremely fiercely in the village, but at this time, the questioning tone the two were using was filled with astonishment, not schadenfreude. It was really because Yang Tiangang had excelled greatly in this locust swarm, and they could not think of any other reason to stop Yang Tiangang from becoming an outer disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect.
"Sigh!" Han Xiumei also sighed, and then revealed a sneer at the corner of her mouth: It's actually quite simple, it's just that the standard for Heaven-Shaken Sect to recruit outer disciples this time is determined by the strength of the s' tax collection, and the villages with lower harvest would end up paying the grain tax, then the Village Head's performance will be better, and being loyal to the Heaven-Shaken Sect will be even better. With our current prestige, the collection of grain tax is naturally very easy, and we don't have the chance to show loyalty to the Heaven-Shaken Sect!
When the Blacksmith Zhang heard this, he could not help but be angered to the point of bursting into laughter, and said: "What kind of nonsense is this logic!?"
At this time, Yang Tiangang suddenly said: "There iumor in this town that the eldest son of the Wealthy Class Xiong Family is just a step away from becoming a Successor Disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect.
"What?" Why would the Xiong Family let the entire Mengyu County clean up his son's mess? "
