340: C340 Anxiety

C340 Anxiety

The night sky of the western mountain did not hide anything from the stars, just like the pairs of eyes of great existences that had existed since ancient times, attentively watching this boundless land.

Yang Junshan stood under the pavilion in his backyard looking up at the sky, while his mind kept calculating the date. That strange meteor night, it seemed like it wasn't too far away!

The sound of footsteps came from behind. Yang Junshan turned around and saw Xu Lei walking towards him. He bowed and greeted, "Young Manor Lord, you were looking for me!"

Yang Junshan quickly stepped aside, blaming him, "Brother Xu, we grew up together. Who can even compare to you? You are making me feel uncomfortable. Please don't do this again!"

Xu Lei smiled and did not reply, but Yang Junshan did not mind. He pulled him to the pavilion and sat down, saying: "This time, I have a request for Brother Xu."

Xu Lei said with a stern expression: "But please instruct me, I will do my best!"

Yang Junshan fished in his sleeve, and placed a light green storage bag embroidered with a fish jumping out of the water on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion.

He recognized it as the storage bag from the fourth steward of the Yu family and said: "This is the standard storage bag of the Yu family. There is a sealing array on it, if you try to break it open, not only will the storage bag itself be damaged, but most of the things inside will also be destroyed!"

Yang Junshan pushed the storage bag to Xu Lei and said: "I heard that you're one of the deacons in the Yu Family. I think you should know how to open this storage bag!"

Xu Lei nodded, took the storage bag in her hand and performed a few different hand seals in front of Yang Junshan. She removed the sealing array on the storage bag one by one and pushed the storage bag in front of Yang Junshan without looking at the contents inside.

Yang Junshan did not look at the storage bag on the table, and chatted with Xu Lei for a while, asking about the Xu family's situation, saying that if there were any problems, he would directly look for him, then Xu Lei tactfully left.

Before sshe left, Xu Lei seemed to have thought of something, and said: "That day is the day that the Yu Family's villa is given to the main family for tribute, the fourth steward originally wanted to bring more than half of the annual harvest from the main manor back to the main house, but according to the the time, he obviously received the order to kill me halfway, thus, Young Manor Lord should have had a rather good harvest this time!"

"Then I'll be counting on Brother Xu's blessings!"

Yang Junshan laughed and then said, "Looks like Brother Xu really knows a lot about the Yu Family. That's why the mansion earns so much each year, and it should be a secret that sends people back to the family. I didn't expect Brother Xu to know so much about this secret!"

Xu Lei laughed bitterly and said: "Brother Yang, have you forgotten who my father is? "He is an official member of the Yu Family. Even though he is only of a side branch, the Yu Family still has a high level of recognition towards me!"

"That's why they want to kill you even more. It's not only because your mother died in their hands, but also because you know that they have many secrets!"

Xu Lei's face contorted as she fiercely said, "And my fourth uncle, the fourth uncle of the direct line of descent!"

After sending Xu Lei off, Yang Junshan looked at the storage bag in his hand again with expectation in his eyes.

Previously, he had snatched two storage bags from two martial arts cultivators at the Sunset Ridge mine. However, those two had very little money left in their pockets, which made Yang Junshan very disappointed.

As the spiritual power seeped into the storage bag, the string used to tie the bag opened it. Yang Junshan felt excited. A storage bag of this size was rare.

Yang Junshan secretly sighed in admiration, the Yu Family was truly powerful. Even a steward in the Yu Family used such a good storage bag, and Xu Lei even mentioned that this storage bag was standardized, which meant that there were still many of such storage bags in the Yu Family!

In the Yang family, other than Yang Junshan's storage bag, the best one was the one in Yang Tian's hand, which was also only four feet square.

Just by this rule alone, one could see the difference between the Yang family and the powerful Yu family!

After counting the items in the storage bag, he found that there were two plates of jades, a total of thirty-five of them, each of which was equivalent to ten jade coins. Just these thirty-five jades were equivalent to thirty-five thousand jade coins, and the losses he had previously given to Chen Ji had been made up for immediately.

A manor planted with a specialized spiritual field definitely wouldn't have such great returns. Xu Lei had once said that this manor was a transfer point for the Yu Family's various cultivation resources. Presumably, these jade crystals were obtained from trading and shipping.

In addition to the jade crystal, there were also seven or eight jade boxes inside. All of them were pasted with spirit sealing charms. It was obvious that the items inside the boxes were also important.

Carefully, he tore the Soul Sealing Symbol off of it. As the jade box was opened, Yang Junshan let out a "Oh" and said, "High-grade spiritual material, Golden Brilliance Stone, it's a good item. Too bad it's the most commonly used magical metal item!"

After sealing the original in the jade box, he opened another one. "It's another high grade spirit material. This should be ice jade, not bad not bad!"

The third, fourth, and seventh jade boxes all contained high quality spirit materials and were extremely precious. Unfortunately, they were all things that Yang Junshan couldn't use right now. This also disappointed Yang Junshan a little after the excitement he originally got from obtaining treasures passed.

When the last jade box was opened, Yang Junshan was able to remove the talisman easily. He opened the box and took a look, only to find that he was startled. A happy smile appeared on his face and he laughed out loud, "Qingtian Spirit Stone, this time, the Mountain Lord's Seal has a good chance of increasing its quality!"

There were also many other materials in the storage bag, and they were all of excellent quality. There were even three bottles of spiritual pills suitable for late stage Martial Disciples, a few refined talismans, a few small bags that could produce seeds of high quality spiritual herbs, and ten different types of mid quality immortal spirits. However, these things were no longer of interest to Yang Junshan.2

He took 15 from the jade and 2 from the Ling Dan and 2 from the talisman. Among the high grade spirit materials, besides the Qingtian Spirit Stones, Yang Junshan also took the Golden Light Stones. He then handed the rest over to Old Yang and entered the Yang Family's treasury.

After bidding farewell to Yang Tian, Yang Junshan returned to the Sunset Mountains mine that night. Just as he arrived, he saw Lin Chengzi hurrying over to find him.

"Senior, did something happen?"

Lin Chengzi was stunned for a moment, then said: "Not really, but on the second day after you left, the head disciple of the Chen County Order, Mr. Song Wei, sent someone to deliver an invitation, asking you to come to his place as soon as possible after you return."

"Didn't he say anything?"

"Not really!"

Yang Junshan nodded and received the invitation. He then asked Lin Chengzi about the mine's overall situation and the situation of the entire Sunset Mountains mining area.

Before leaving, Lin Chengzi muttered to himself for a moment and asked, "Junior Clan Leader, I wonder what happened to Zhang Hu Zi? I heard that for his son, Blacksmith Zhang even passed down his own mid-grade magic tool, the Forging Hammer, to him!"

Yang Junshan answered with an "Oh" and said, "Are you talking about the Green Universe Stone?"

Over the past half year, this old man has personally secretly mined this Firmament Stone's ore deposit and has already accumulated a lot of ore. Although due to the fact that the vein is barren, if one were to refine a piece of fist-sized spiritual material, it would be impossible to refine it into a piece of fist-sized spiritual material. However, this old man does not have any place to store these ores.

Yang Junshan pondered for a moment, and said: "Then we will temporarily stop the mining of the Firmament Stone Mine, and wait a while before we speak about it again. Right now, besides refining the spirit material raw ore for the village, Zhang Huzi is also accumulating the spirit materials needed to refine his first magic tool. He only needs to wait until he becomes the first magic tool and becomes a refiner."

"Oh, that's right." Yang Junshan called out to Lin Chengzi who was about to turn around and leave, then he took out the Yu Family's storage bag from his sleeve. However, the lower right part of the storage bag had already been erased, he passed it over to Lin Chengzi and said, "This storage bag is for senior, this is father's decision too!"

Lin Chengzi took the storage pouch and checked it with his Spiritual Sense. A trace of surprise was revealed on his face as he said happily, "This is truly a good item!"

Formation masters like Yang Junshan and Lin Chengzi, as well as their spiritual masters, would carry with them all kinds of formations setting tools, and a variety of inspection tools, and they would often have a unique affection for the general storage bags that contained things. Lin Chengzi had helped the Yang family quite a lot over the years, and when he left West Mountain Village, Yang Tian had instructed him to give this four foot square storage bag to Lin Chengzi.

The true main vein of the Sunset Mountains was not very far from this branch of the Western Mountain Village, but the main vein was very long. Southwest of the Western Mountain Village mine, directly south of the Sunset Ridge's lava lake, was the starting point of the main vein. After meandering for several miles, the Heaven Shaking Sect had basically pushed the southern border of Mengyu County.

However, Yang Junshan had always felt that there was something fishy about this. After the main mines of the Sunset Mountains were discovered, Yang Junshan thought that the conflict between the three sects in the three counties was because of this mine.

However, although the Heaven Shaking Sect had temporarily controlled the area where the main vein of the mine was located, it was only a few kilometers away from the other two counties.

In other words, a Martial Disciple cultivator was standing at the border of Ling Zhang County or Hu Yao County. His Imperial Censor was capable of hitting the miners of the main vein mine in Mengyu County.

However, in the half a year since the main lode was developed, neither the Heavenly Wolf Sect nor the Opening Spirit Sect had made any moves on the border of the three counties.

Did they just sit by idly and watch the Heaven Shaking Sect take this huge vein of mines for themselves?

Even Yang Junshan himself didn't think this was possible, especially for a sect like the Sirius Sect, who only saw benefits in one fell swoop. How could they just sit there and watch their opponent eat while they starve?

But if these two sects really did not make a move, then what was the reason for them not seeing the Heaven Shaking Sect mining mines around them?

"Haha, Youngest junior brother, you're finally here!"

Yang Junshan had never revealed to anyone that he had advanced to the Late Martial Disciple Stage. This time, he rode a packhorse to the Heaven Shaking Sect's mining site. Song Wei had obviously received the news beforehand and was waiting for him here.

"Senior apprentice-brother!"

Yang Junshan got down from the packhorse and cupped his fists towards Song Wei.

As he walked, he said, "Junior has come at the right time, the sect is planning to set up a defensive array formation here, after all, this place is too close to the border. Unfortunately, the sect's formation masters are lacking in manpower recently, so I recommended you to Junior Master Qing Yi.
