Chapter 1383: 1017: Grandpa, Do You Want the Land? (Part 3)

Ouyang Qing was feeling troubled, as the changes in the wilderness occurred once every season and were entirely dependent on luck. This winter, Celestial Sword Sect had particularly bad luck; the Spirit Stone Vein that had been fine in autumn was gone, and in its place was a vast ocean! Due to the break in heritage, none of the current Celestial Sword Sect disciples versed in swordsmanship could swim, and how could they find resources on the boundless sea? Occasionally, they would encounter some fierce fish demons, glaring at the threat of resources running dry, he was so worried he couldn’t sleep.

Mr. Jiang, considering his grandson, had provided much aid to Celestial Sword Sect, but to no avail, as they were impossible to help, and Ouyang Qing was too embarrassed to ask for more.

He also heard that his grandson had gone traveling in the Otherworld, which made him even more reluctant to bother Mr. Jiang. After all, the child was away from home, and he, as the grandfather, couldn’t help, yet still required others to worry.

They could only let everyone save as much as possible to survive this winter. Hopefully, things would get better after this. At night, they didn’t venture out to explore and stayed within the sect for good cultivation, with no one allowed to slack off! During the day, they still had to think of more ways to make money, as the disaster relief in summer and autumn consumed a lot, leaving Celestial Sword Sect with not much extra food.

While brooding, Ouyang Qing suddenly heard a voice echoing through the skies.

He couldn’t help but be slightly stunned when a direct disciple came running with joy on their face and said, "Master, Young Master Mingchuan has arrived!"

Wan Mingchuan’s arrival received much attention and welcome this time.

Upon closer calculation, he is indeed the Celestial Sword Sect’s benefactor, and if not for him and his connections, how could Mr. Jiang have provided so much help to the sect?

Besides, since he came to visit his grandfather, he certainly wouldn’t come empty-handed.

The sect’s foundation wasn’t deep, and with no income in winter but continued consumption, everyone felt the shortage of cultivation resources. With Young Master Mingchuan’s arrival today, they could relax for a while, hopefully spring would free them from their predicament.

Upon hearing that his grandson had arrived, Ouyang Qing went to the main hall with a broad smile, and saw the inner sect disciples enthusiastically surrounding him, asking all sorts of questions. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly, as everyone wanted to get closer and benefit, proving the saying about poverty affecting one’s ambitions.

"Mingchuan pays respect to Grandfather!"

Wan Mingchuan modestly restrained his aura, but being an Integration Realm Peak Cultivator, his sensing power was exceptionally strong. As soon as Ouyang Qing walked over, he turned and saluted.

"Good child. You said you were going on a journey for experience before; was everything smooth along the way?" Looking at his grandson, who had clearly grown taller, yet appeared even more fair and delicate, he was momentarily struck by the resemblance to his beloved daughter.

Mother and son indeed look alike!

The Celestial Sword Sect disciples, seeing the situation, all excused themselves. After a brief exchange of pleasantries between the grandfather and grandson, Wan Mingchuan couldn’t help but eagerly ask, "Grandfather, do you want some land?"

A few days ago, my master teamed up with the Ancient Ten Great Sects to hunt down evil cultivators and acquired a piece of prime land! If you’re willing to relocate Celestial Sword Sect, you can have two Spirit Stone Veins; you could even reside above the wilderness and never worry about lacking Spiritual Energy for cultivation during the day again!"

He couldn’t hold back the fantastic news and spilled it all at once like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

To help his grandfather better understand the benefits of Snow Cloud Valley, Wan Mingchuan took out a Memory Stone and displayed its images, explaining, "The Valley Protection Array, Teleportation Array, and city are all ready; you can move in immediately!

Despite the cold and frosty surroundings, Snow Cloud Valley is warm like spring with many arrays inside; look here—these are the two Spirit Stone Veins, located within the Valley Protection Array, you can mine without leaving home.

If Celestial Sword Sect relocates there, I can persuade my master to connect my courtyard’s Teleportation Array with Snow Cloud Valley. Whenever I have time, I can visit you every day!

Also, I had a fortunate encounter during my travels and have now advanced to the Integration Realm Peak. If you encounter trouble above the wilderness, there’s no need to trouble Master, I can help you resolve it. Do you like this place? Do you want to move there?"
