Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying

Chapter 263: Chapter 257: Factions

“Hey~ I also want to work here, is that okay?”

Early in the morning, a fresh-looking Enchanting Demon dressed in a cultivator’s Daoist robe rushed to the City Lord Mansion to work.

In the past two months, Yang Fu had often seen Erin on the streets. She was a very caring little Enchanting Demon, doing everything within her power to help many lonely members of the Demon Clan, even the lowest-ranked goblins, whom she never looked down upon.

Seeing this made Yang Fu feel very comfortable, and it considerably changed his stereotypes about the Enchanting Demon clan.

Now, seeing the little Enchanting Demon Erin looking for a job, a smile curled up at the corner of Yang Fu’s mouth.

“First of all, my name isn’t hey, it’s Yang Fu, you can call me City Lord Yang, or… Lord Mayor.”

...

“That feels so formal~ We’re so familiar already, how about I call you… senior?”

“Hmm… okay, secondly, what job would you do for me? I don’t seem to have your position here.”

“I can do enchantment too! I know two kinds!”

“Oh? Enchantment of the Enchanting Demon clan… interesting. Then you can come over, write down the effects of your enchantment, and I will hang it in the display area over there.”

“Thanks~ senior! If I earn Spirit Stones, I’ll treat you to a meal!”

Erin blinked, adorably irresistible.

After she left, Yang Fu felt very good about the day.

“If all demons lived as actively as Erin, Sunshine City would truly come to life.”

Some affairs of Sunshine City had already been arranged, and today Yang Fu planned to take another stroll in the city.

Because the day to pay tribute to ancestors was near.

“The ancestor likes various kinds of treasures, even the most common Spirit Grass is needed. Sunshine City has plenty of fresh things, let’s offer some of these to the ancestor.”

“Right, I mustn’t forget the elixir I got from the Immortal Martial Sect.”

Due to timing, Yang Fu had only met with the Immortal Martial Sect yesterday for the first time. He provided enchantment services for them, which didn’t earn him any money, but instead, he invested 50 Mid Grade Spirit Stones.

Because what he wanted was a certain Essence Blood Replenishing Pill mentioned in Gongsun Taixu’s diary—a great supplement for energy and blood.

This was a Third Grade Elixir, only affordable by cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The Immortal Martial Sect sold this pill for 6 Mid Grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to 6000 Low Grade Spirit Stones. Among Third Grade Elixirs, it was not too expensive and quite affordable.

The price Yang Fu set for one-time enchantment for Foundation Establishment Stage demon cultivators was 1 Mid Grade Spirit Stone.

After the exchange, Yang Fu had 10 Essence Blood Replenishing Pills in his hand.

“Luckily, I’ve saved a lot over the years from selling the Five Elements Nourishing Yuan Pills, otherwise I really couldn’t afford these Third Grade Elixirs for my family.”

Yang Fu was generous, providing them for the entire family.

“This year, the major expense for the ancestral tribute will be this…”

Besides, Yang Fu also collected some unique medicinal herbs and spirit plants from around Sunshine City, sending them together.

Yang Fu looked at the Night Bean Trees commonly found on the streets and ordered to Evil Eye, “Go gather several large bags, send them to my mansion.”

“As you wish, Lord!”

Turning around, Evil Eye instructed a Minotaur guard, “You, go gather.”

The Minotaur was stunned.

“Didn’t the Lord Mayor ask you guys to go?”

“I heard the idle demon sisters in the city go to gather Night Beans every day…”

“I’m on it!”

The Minotaur panted heavily as he went to gather Night Beans.

The Black Elf guard scoffed with disdain.

“Stupid bull!”

Although Night Beans were very low-level, who knew if the ancestor might need them?

Yang Fu just casually sorted that out.

In addition, she bought some interesting small magic treasures from the Demon Clan.

The residents of the city were astonished to see the City Lord actually paying for his purchases, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

This phenomenon made Yang Fu curse the previous city lords under his breath.

Yang Genshuo watched the dedicated Yang Fu with great satisfaction.

“My Yang Fu is truly reliable… After leaving the sect, the first thing he thought of was getting tribute for the ancestor and covering the elixirs for the whole family… Indeed, a true Family Head!”

“Yang Fushuo, that boy, only knows about alchemy all day, never thinking to get something fun for me to play with…”

However, after some thought, Yang Genshuo forgave Yang Fushuo.

“To become a true Third Grade Alchemist…it indeed requires years of arduous cultivation.”

Previously, using his Heavenly Level spiritual fire and the Treasure Ring, Yang Fushuo could only create pseudo Third Grade elixirs, but he could create genuine Third Grade elixirs only after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage and obtaining the Foundation True Fire.

The technique for Third Grade Elixirs is extremely complex, a whole dimension more difficult than that for Second Grade Elixirs.

Firstly, the quantity of medicinal herbs would increase again, secondly, the alchemy technique becomes more complex, and the demand for spiritual power is also extremely high.

The most critical aspect is… Third Grade medicinal herbs are very expensive!

You should know, only those medicinal herbs over 200 years can be considered as Third Grade.

200 years!

In the world of Immortal Cultivation, that’s a lengthy period, so the price of the herbs skyrockets.

A Third Grade Elixir starts at a whopping 5000 Low Grade Spirit Stones, and the cost of the Third Grade medicinal herbs alone makes up a large portion of it.

“Even with a small world like the Meteor Star Immortal Mansion that escalates growth by tenfold, it still takes a full 20 years to cultivate a Third Grade medicinal herb.”

Yang Shi’s Meteor Star Immortal Mansion rarely made an appearance aside from providing for some talented disciples of the Xuan Stone Sect and Yang Fuqing. It was mostly kept hidden because it cultivated a large amount of spiritual medicine.

Among them, Third Grade spiritual medicines were the prime cultivation species of Meteor Star Immortal Mansion.

This was also something Yang Genshuo had planned for a long time.

“It’s been…19 years since the Daoist from Xuan Zhen passed on the Immortal Mansion, and the first batch of Third Grade spiritual medicines will be mature in one more year.”

In the game calendar, the eradication of the Demon Cultivators is marked as [Year 38], and this year is [Year 57].

“Yang Fushuo can still use too few of the Elixir Pavilion’s materials… Without his own stock of herbs, becoming a Third Grade Alchemist will take even longer, not to mention the progress of AI alchemy.”

The formula for Third Grade Elixirs within AI is rare, and the rate of accurate deduction is too low!

To achieve nearly a ten percent accuracy rate as deducing First and Second Grade Elixirs, Yang Fushuo needs to feed the AI a lot of experience, both successful and failed, to allow it to learn the essence of Third Grade alchemy.

“It’s all built on money…”

Yang Fushuo continued his tireless cultivation of Third Grade alchemy, while other members of the Yang Family each took up their own responsibilities.

Yang Shi, along with Yang Fuqing and Yang Fujian, was pioneering the development area in the Devil Wind Forest.

Human cultivators of the Danai Dynasty began practicing the Demon Slaying Technique, preparing for a potential future conflict with the Demon Clan.

The cultivators continuously expanded the influence of Bright City by constructing arrays and spiritual structures within the development area, entering the Devil Wind Forest where the spiritual energy was richer for cultivation, which increased their cultivation speed more than twofold!

However, during this process, some disagreement arose between the two leading figures of the Yang Family…

Yang Fuqing, born with a Beast Spirit Body and an expert in the Beast Taming Technique, had nurtured a group of disciples capable of taming beasts within the Xuan Stone Sect. They had now formed their own faction, advocating the philosophy of coexistence between humans and beasts.

They viewed demon beasts as companions of humans, aiming to live together with them in the Devil Wind Forest and establish a harmonious relationship between humans and demon beasts, while actively helping the demon beasts develop their Spiritual Wisdom to make them the best companions for human cultivators.

This was the philosophy of Yang Fuqing’s Beast Taming Sect.

On the other hand, the leader of the Martial Cultivators, Yang Fujian, was an emerging figure within the Martial Cultivators of the Danai Dynasty. Possessing the Talent of a Martial Arts Genius and integrating the strengths of cultivators from both the Danai and Fierce Sun Dynasties, his status in the Martial Cult was second only to Yang Shi.

Yang Shi led the Sky Dragon Army, and Yang Fujian, with his talent and charismatic personality and soon to break through to the Divinity Realm, was called the leader of the Martial Arts Sect along with all Martial Cultivators.

The philosophy of the Martial Arts Sect completely contrasted with that of Yang Fuqing. Yang Fujian believed that the materials and essence blood of demon beasts were essential for them. Killing demon beasts not only increased their own strength but also provided valuable materials for enhancing themselves. Moreover, the relationship between demon beasts and the Demon Clan was closer than with humans. Those of the Night Demon Palace could easily control these demon beasts, posing a future threat. So, in his view, they must be killed!

The conflicting ideologies of the two factions led by the siblings had become more pronounced…

Yang Shi had no definitive opinion on this matter, as both sides were his own flesh and blood.

“During this year’s ancestral worship, I’ll have to ask for guidance from the ancestors.”
