Legacy of the Spirit Stone-Chapter 8 – Lingrui Qi Condensation

Yang Lingrui accepted the jade bottle without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp, then began meditating to digest it.
Although he didn't know exactly what it was, he was certain that anything given by the Ancestor had to be something good.
"This power is so pure and formidable!"
As soon as he began to digest the spirit liquid, he felt its potency.
In just a few breaths, the sixth Qi Node was effortlessly cleared, and the momentum grew even stronger, directly breaking through the seventh Qi Node as well!
Realizing the extraordinary nature of this spirit liquid, Yang Lingrui immediately focused all his attention, fully concentrating on breaking through the Qi Nodes.
It took Yang Lingrui a full five hours to completely digest the spirit liquid, and he only woke up when night fell.
By then, he had already cleared eleven Qi Nodes within his body!
He was just one step away from forming a Spiritual Vortex!
Upon awakening, Yang Lingrui hurriedly knelt before the Ancestor who had been watching over him.
"Disciple Yang Lingrui, grateful for the Ancestor's gift!"
Yang Guanfeng smiled and helped him up, speaking gently, "Lingrui, you are a promising talent. The fate of the Yang Clan for the next hundred years depends on you."
"I understands! I will diligently cultivate and not let down the Ancestor's expectations or the clan's hopes!"
Yang Lingrui replied respectfully.
But suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Ancestor, about today's events, should I tell my brother and sister..."
Hearing this, Yang Guanfeng became interested and asked in return, "How do you plan to tell them?"
After a brief contemplation, Yang Lingrui raised his clear eyes.
"I will tell my brother and sister the truth. They are the closest people to me and will be the pillars of the Yang Clan in the future. There should be no secrets between us!"
"Good! Lingrui, you have thought it through well. Go and rest."
"Disciple takes his leave."
After a simple conversation, Yang Guanfeng put down the only concern in his heart.
He had indeed worried that Yang Lingrui, being young and not from the main branch, might become arrogant after receiving special training.
But now it seemed he had overthought it.
"I underestimated the younger generation of the Yang Clan," Yang Guanfeng shook his head self-deprecatingly.
Returning to his room, Yang Linghu and Yang Lingqing eagerly came forward to inquire.
When they learned that he had received the Ancestor's gift and had broken through eleven Qi Nodes, they were almost jumping with joy.
They were more excited than if they had made the breakthrough themselves.
"Lingrui, you've done really well. You're going to be the backbone of the Yang Clan in the future!"
"Good lad, you've gotten quite a lead on us!"
Yang Linghu patted his shoulder and said, "Xiao Qing, this is great. Our family will soon have another Qi Condensation cultivator!"
Facing his brother and sister's praise, Yang Lingrui's face turned slightly red, showing a shy smile.
"Brother Hu, Sister Qing, I will definitely work even harder in my cultivation!"
The next day, Chen Yang noticed the change in Yang Lingrui's spiritual energy.
"Wow, this kid is really something. He's about to successfully open his Qi meridians. Spirit liquid is indeed effective."
Seeing that Yang Lingrui was about to reach Qi Condensation, Chen Yang thought of the previous matter again.
With one more Qi Condensation cultivator, the taxes would increase. Could the Yang Clan handle it?
***
That evening, after the children returned home.
After work, Chen Yang was brought back to the room by Yang Guanfeng.
Elder Yu followed closely behind, "Patriarch, what do you need from me?"
"Is everything outside ready?"
Yang Guanfeng asked.
Elder Yu nodded at the words, "Everything is ready. The location, timber, stone, and various materials have all been transported out of the town. The new Spirit Field is also ready, just needs spiritual infusion to stabilize."
"Alright, leave it for now. Once the Secret Realm closes and the surroundings stabilize, we can start building. We can't delay too long, or the dynasty will drain our resources dry."
"Yes, I understand."
The two then discussed some details before Elder Yu left.
From the conversation, Chen Yang learned that Yang Guanfeng had long planned to move the entire family.
He was just waiting for the right opportunity.
And Lingrui reaching Qi Condensation was a good opportunity.
His plan was to inform the town chief about Lingrui's Qi Condensation, then pay the full tax for the additional cultivator for the year.
Then move the Yang Clan out of Willow Leaf Town, allowing Yang Linghu and Yang Lingqing to break through outside.
This way, outsiders would see that the Yang Clan had produced another Qi Condensation cultivator and paid a high tax.
And because they couldn't bear the high tax long-term, they decided to move the entire family outside the town.
Three Qi Condensation cultivators would be enough to protect a small family in this area, so it seemed perfectly reasonable.
This would allow them to hide Linghu and Lingqing, giving the Yang Clan hidden strength unknown to outsiders, a backup plan.
Having traveled extensively, Yang Guanfeng understood the importance of keeping a trump card hidden. The relocation was currently unknown to anyone in the Yang Clan, with only Elder Yu working on it in secret.
The future of the Yang Clan outside the town would also rely on this elder.
After Elder Yu left, Yang Guanfeng paced back and forth in the room for a long time.
His heart was filled with anticipation for the future, yet also a bit of apprehension.
Leaving Willow Leaf Town had both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage was that without the dynasty's high taxes, the family could develop faster.
But at the same time, they would lose the dynasty's protection and would have to rely on themselves for everything in the future.
The relocation was just the first step, and the simplest one. There would be many more problems and challenges to face.
At such times, he always felt grateful to Elder Yu in his heart.
Without this elder's diligent efforts over the years, the Yang Clan would never have reached its current state.
Yang Guanfeng often recalled that if he hadn't jumped into Fish Ridge River to save someone that day, what would the Yang Clan be like now?
He had already decided in his heart to leave a place for Elder Yu in the family shrine.
He would be the first non-family member to be honored in the shrine.
Time continued to flow, and the last Qi Node proved to be quite a challenge.
Even with Chen Yang's full assistance, it took Yang Lingrui, with his exceptional talent, three days to break through.
When the spiritual energy truly flowed through him, the child experienced for the first time the wondrous feeling of a cultivator sensing the world.
That night, Yang Lingrui successfully formed a Spiritual Vortex in his Dantian.
In the following five days, he began constructing his Qi Palace.
With guidance from Yang Guanfeng and Elder Yu, on the sixth day, Yang Lingrui completed the Qi Palace and condensed his first strand of spiritual power!

This also signified the birth of the Yang Clan's third Qi Condensation Realm cultivator!
"Qi Condensation First Layer, Ancestors, Brother, Sister, I've succeeded!"
As soon as Yang Lingrui opened his eyes, he announced the good news to the four around him.
Yang Linghu and Yang Lingqing embraced him, tears of joy in their words.
Cultivation may sound easy, but the monotony and frustration are only truly understood by those who experience it.
Yang Guanfeng and Elder Yu, the two Ancestors, were filled with gratification.
To achieve such results, all the previous efforts and hardships were worth it!
By this time, the Minor Secret Realm of Earth Treasures outside had already closed, and the visiting cultivators had all dispersed.
But out of caution, Yang Guanfeng decided to keep the matter under wraps for a month.
A month later, he sent Elder Yu to inform the various forces in Willow Leaf Town.
"The Yang Clan is celebrating today, hosting a banquet to welcome guests!"
