Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 601 - 242: Immortal Dynasty Cultivator’s Abode (2)

"Do you want to head to Flame Lake City immediately and stop the Separation Fire Flame?"

If the stone egg truly contains spiritual material, the Shen Family opening it recklessly will surely incite the fury of the chess player behind the scenes.

At that time, what awaits the Shen Family may be a catastrophe.

"No need."

After some deep contemplation, Shen Yuan suddenly thought of a familiar person behind this chess game of heaven and earth.

He still couldn’t quite grasp their attitude.

Now is a good time to use the "spiritual material" within the stone egg to test a bit.

The specific connection between spiritual material and Dao Source is still unclear to him, and he wants to use the stone egg to understand how the chess player operates behind the scenes.

"Let the matter of the stone egg be and if someone intervenes, do not force it; let them take it if they wish."

The item is delivered, so why not take it?

If someone comes to claim it later, they can always return it.

Anyway, with Xu Xiu backing them, the Shen Family should be able to retreat completely without issues.

"I’ll make the arrangements right away."

Shen Wen’an nodded and left the Black Water Pavilion, and after some reflection, Shen Yuan also left the Black Water Pavilion and headed to the estate.

At the entrance of the estate, Shen Wenxing was explaining matters to his disciple Xu Zhan.

Seeing Shen Yuan approaching, the two immediately bowed to greet him.

"Master, your disciple will take his leave."

"Forefather."

Knowing they had important matters to discuss, Xu Zhan wisely departed.

Watching his departing figure, Shen Yuan said gravely, "I heard you plan to marry You’Er to that lad?"

"Has the date been set?"

Shen Wenxing bowed and said, "Not yet."

"The third major harvest is approaching, and the two wish to marry after it."

"Xu Zhan is planning to go to the bottom of the Laishui River to cultivate in seclusion, attempting to break into the Fourth Realm of Body Cultivation before the third major harvest, and at that time lay down some territory as a betrothal gift."

Going to the bottom of the Laishui River for secluded cultivation?

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The ancient city at the river bottom has intricate links with the Underworld, and after its initial discovery, he dared not let anyone explore it.

Now Xu Zhan wants to head to the river bottom.

"Father, Xu Zhan said he’s only going for secluded cultivation at the river bottom, not to delve deeply."

"I believe there shouldn’t be any problems, what do you think...?"

Seeing Shen Yuan’s unusual expression, Shen Wenxing quickly explained.

Shen Yuan remained silent, secretly used his Divine Sense to activate the White Jade Turtle Shell in his Sea of Consciousness, attempting to deduce a bit, finding no significant issues, then smiled casually: "No worries, it’s his opportunity."

"If this lad truly breaks into the Fourth Realm before the third major harvest, then with the two of you along with Chongming and the Snow Wolf King, the Shen Family does not fear others."

"I have another matter to discuss with you."

The father and son entered the courtyard slowly, seated in the chamber, Shen Yuan began: "Xiubai has been in Yunzhong County City for nearly two years."

"He carries the lifetime Array Dao inheritance of Fellow Daoist Fu Yang, and ought to be properly nurtured."

"Wen’an’s Pill Qi has not yet been used, let’s find an opportunity to bring Xiubai back, allowing him to use Pill Qi to alter his Spirit Root aptitude."

"Our Shen Family’s achievements in Array Dao in recent years will depend on him."

Upon mentioning Pill Qi, Shen Wenxing’s expression changed slightly, paused for a moment before bowing hesitantly: "Regarding Pill Qi, I need to speak with you, Father."

"My elder sister has always had no Spirit Root, now in her seventies but only at the third layer of Qi Cultivation."

"Her lifespan... her lifespan is running out."

Shen Wenxing paused again, then added: "Chongming wishes to wait, as Xiubai is still young."

Hearing this, Shen Yuan said nothing.

His daughter, Shen Wenping, currently has the poorest talent in cultivation in the family, with the lowest cultivation level.

Being without a Spirit Root, and right after giving birth to He Zhongyi early on, her husband He Zishi was attacked and killed, wounding her Heart Spirit, leaving dark afflictions.

Although at the third layer of Qi Cultivation, her lifespan is inferior to those of long-living commoners.

"You want to give the Pill Qi to Wenping?"

Facing his father’s gaze, Shen Wenxing pondered for a moment, then bowed: "Not hiding from Father, with the four siblings, now Ah Nu is no longer with us, I... don’t want to lose my elder sister."

Shen Yuan nodded, then smiled: "I understand."

"However, Xiubai still needs to return; there are some things I need to discuss with him."

The runes transcribed by Shen Xiuchan from the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm are related to Array Dao, very intricate and incomprehensible, and he cannot decipher them himself; Xiubai’s assistance is required.

"I will make the arrangements now."

Shen Wenxing bowed in agreement.

...

Yunzhong County City.

In the tower courtyard where Jiang Xiuqi resides in seclusion, Shen Xiubai is busy with several disciples from Luoxia Mountain around a large cauldron.

"Young Master Xiubai, adding these things into the elixir will kill people!"

"Yes, Young Master Xiubai, these are refining materials, if we cultivators consume them, even if not poisoned, they can’t be digested, then..."

Luoxia Mountain is not particularly adept at Alchemy Dao, and these disciples can barely refine some basic elixirs.

Yet now, they are gathered by Shen Xiubai to assist in alchemy.

Initially, the disciples assumed they were to refine ordinary elixirs.

However, when Shen Xiubai brought out materials like Profound One True Water and Flame Stone for refining, asking them to integrate them into the elixir, the disciples were stunned!

Mixing refining materials into elixirs, is this alchemy or refining poison?

Can the refined elixirs be consumed?

"Just follow Xiubai’s method for refining, whether Pill Formation can be achieved, let’s see."
