Chapter 730: Chapter 458: The Growth Speed of the Life Divine Tree Exceeds Expectations
Yang Genshuo indeed didn’t watch the recently held Yang Family meeting because he also needed to cultivate.
Immortal cultivation is not something where you can just lie down and watch your realm rise by itself.
During the month of returning home after the New Year, the Immortal Cultivation World underwent several changes, occupying much of Yang Genshuo’s attention as he observed and guided the Yang Family’s actions in real-time.
It wasn’t until the overall situation stabilized recently, and the Yang Family gradually passed their Trial Towers, that Yang Genshuo remembered he hadn’t focused on cultivation for quite some time.
Yang Genshuo finished his cultivation and slowly regained the previous rhythm in the operation of “Mechanical Techniques.”
“In the path of cultivation, not advancing equates to retreating… One can’t slack off.”
Yang Genshuo sensed his power had regressed a bit.
During the half month at home during the New Year, without a trace of spiritual energy, his dantian’s spiritual energy couldn’t recharge or circulate, slowly shrinking. After returning to this place, the spiritual energy concentration wasn’t high, and he hadn’t cultivated for such a long time.
Much of Yang Genshuo’s cultivation of Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer was obtained through shortcuts, with an unstable foundation, making even the slightest negligence in cultivation hinder his technique’s circulation.
He felt a kind of blockage within his body.
“I probably need to undergo focused cultivation for a period to restore a smooth state… Just as well, I won’t use [Blessing: Absorption] or eat a [Wisdom Fruit] for now, let’s solidify my cultivation.”
Initially, he thought after the Yang Family completed this round of the Trial Tower challenges, anyone with spare points could trade for a [Wisdom Fruit] to strengthen their cultivation further.
However, this recent cultivation made him postpone the entire plan.
“The [Wisdom Fruit] isn’t a thing without side effects… Fast realm enhancement carries hidden dangers.”
Yang Genshuo concluded based on his physical condition.
He was also a bit puzzled by the little Fire Dragon Dragon Master.
“She eats [Wisdom Fruit] like meals daily… having already become a Nascent Soul Dragon; won’t this leave hidden dangers? Could it be that the Dragon Clan’s overly powerful bodies can ignore side effects?”
Yang Genshuo was unsure about this point but knew he needed to solidify his cultivation soon.
He got up to go outside for a walk and absorb some fresh spiritual energy.
As he stepped out the door, his ears slightly twitched, catching faint sounds from outside.
“Folks, there truly isn’t any ghost in this world. Tonight, I will challenge myself by sleeping overnight in the most haunted Mount Jiuhua, which is trending now!”
He leaped slightly and was already on the rooftop of Yang’s Mansion.
With a flash of light in his eyes, he penetrated the darkness and saw two young men unfolding sleeping bags, holding a phone, streaming live from the mountain, with his mansion as their backdrop.
“Damn! There are indeed a lot of idlers! These live streamers certainly don’t hold back for traffic… oh no, they don’t even care about their lives!”
Yang Genshuo was somewhat angry yet helpless.
This situation began about a month ago, right when he returned from his hometown, discovering that the illusion array he set up to block satellite images, combined with the perpetual mist forming a ‘dragon’ shape, sparked a minor online buzz.
Many people claimed that this place was a prosperous land of hidden dragons due to its geomancy.
A lot of elderly, as well as some businessmen and influencers who believed this, flocked here, making it almost impossible for him to get into his own home. Discover more novels at ɴovelfire.net
How could an immortal’s resting place tolerate such commotion?
Yang Genshuo called Tian Zhe directly, asking him to devise a way to handle it. He didn’t want so many people hovering at his doorstep daily.
However, since Mount Jiuhua is a public area, they couldn’t directly evict people, so they needed another strategy to disperse them.
Using force was out of the question—he didn’t want to be reported and face bigger troubles, given the current zero-tolerance policy on such affairs.
Tian Zhe, being quite sharp and versed in human weaknesses thanks to his philosophy studies… came up with a clever solution.
Addressing the root of the issue.
Since people came chasing the auspicious aura… why not make this place lose its charm or even appear unfavorable?
For Tian Zhe, an innate grandmaster capable of using the small mechanisms Yang Genshuo made, this was not difficult.
He used some strange sounds to scare people a bit, staged a few small accidents, and simultaneously spurred online rumors to dispel beliefs, turning this place from a hotspot of auspiciousness into a perilous and inauspicious location.
People are prone to rumors, especially those who believe in auspicious omens… expecting them to exhibit high intelligence is unrealistic, isn’t it?
Rational thinking is far too luxurious for them.
Ultimately, they all fled in fright.
In the past half month, Mount Jiuhua has returned to its former tranquility, with some strange rumors circulating… claiming it’s haunted, and the mansion atop is a ghost house.
Yang Genshuo couldn’t be bothered to clarify.
Who cares, as long as people don’t disturb him.
Yang Genshuo does enjoy lively places, but he’d rather find friends for drinks and chats in the city, preferring not to have his cultivation base under constant watch.
“Well, well, after getting rid of those chasing auspicious signs, now there are new disruptors…”
The livestream influencers outside were making Yang Genshuo quite annoyed.
And after Tian Zhe handled the situation, Yang Genshuo had already arranged for him to take the elixirs to the Capital City to treat Elder Xue, and also to trade with Li Chenfeng for a new batch of uranium rods.
Yang Genshuo pondered carefully about how to drive people away without making too much of a fuss.
