Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 26 Full Moon Banquet

Could it be... that someone has captured that alligator dragon!?
An unbelievable thought came to Shen Yuan's mind.

The Blackwater Pool was notoriously dangerous, and at that time, the alligator was already dragging a fishing net as it swam into the depths of the Blackwater Pool.

Who among ordinary people would dare to venture deep into the area to capture a powerful alligator dragon?

This thing is much more powerful in the water than on land. Its terrifying bite force, combined with a deadly roll, would make even a draft animal no match for it.

Shen Yuan shook his head, estimating that the fishing net in his hand was beyond repair, so he threw the tattered net onto the oxcart and continued on his way to Yunshui Town.

When he returned home with the new fishing nets, Hu Yufen had already brought Anu back.

The little guy was crying to his mother about being beaten that day.

Shen Yuan remained silent, wanting to see how his wife would handle the situation.

"The Master only hit you three times?"

Hu Yufen asked in return after hearing this.

The little one didn't seem to understand the meaning behind her words, and instead stretched out her swollen little hand, seeking comfort, "Mommy, I was just being playful..."

"what!"

Before he could finish speaking, his ear was grabbed.

"Mother! Mother! Be gentle!"

"I was wrong!"

The little guy cried out in pain, and Hu Yufen said with a stern face, "Being accepted as a disciple of the Master is an opportunity that many people would rather die for, but you don't know how lucky you are."

"I'm telling you this today: if you ever misbehave and anger the teacher, and get kicked out, I'll have your father break your legs!"

Shen Wenyan, who had never seen his mother angry before, was immediately frightened and dared not say anything more, only nodding in agreement.

"Mother, Anu knows she was wrong, please don't be angry."

Hu Yufen's anger softened slightly, and she got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Shen Yuan hurriedly caught up and comforted her, "You've already taught her a lesson, so don't be angry. You're still in your postpartum period, so don't upset yourself."

After hearing this, Hu Yufen sighed slightly: "This brat is far less reliable than Shi Tou."

"Fortunately, the teacher is strict, and hopefully he can temper his temper."

Shen Yuan responded and pushed her out of the kitchen: "We agreed that you shouldn't go into the kitchen before you're out of confinement. I'll take care of it, you go and watch the baby."

……

The martial arts school in town.

Shen Wenxing continued to cultivate diligently as always.

These days, he feels as if he can sense the flow of qi and blood, but he can't quite grasp it.

At Chenshi (7-9 AM), after practicing diligently for a long time, Shen Wenxing, feeling somewhat irritable, stopped his training, washed up briefly, and went to the backyard of the martial arts school.

The backyard is where Huang Qingzhou's family lives.

Shen Wenxing rarely sets foot there on ordinary days.

After knocking on the backyard gate and hearing Huang Qingzhou's voice, he pushed the door open and entered.

At this moment, Huang Qingzhou was practicing standing meditation with his shirt off in the courtyard. Shen Wenxing could tell at a glance that Huang Qingzhou's standing meditation was not the kind they usually learned.

"Uncle, I'm so sorry to bother you so late."

Huang Qingzhou finished his stance training, wiped the sweat from his face, and laughed, "You brat, your father entrusted you to your uncle, so don't be shy."

"Have you encountered problems in your cultivation?"

He knew Shen Wenxing well; he wouldn't set foot in the backyard unless it was something important.

Shen Wenxing nodded: "My nephew has been practicing standing meditation recently, and he can vaguely feel a flow of qi and blood in his body."

"But when I try to grasp it, it seems to suddenly vanish. I've come to ask you, Uncle, whether this is just my imagination, or..."

Huang Qingzhou was somewhat surprised after hearing his description.

"If I remember correctly, you're not even ten years old yet, are you?"

Shen Wenxing cupped his hands in greeting: "Two more months to go."

Having received confirmation, Huang Qingzhou, with a complicated expression, asked him to sit down beside her: "Give me your hand."

Grasping Shen Wenxing's hand, he carefully sensed it and said, "It really is a sense of Qi."

"Your talent is even greater than Uncle Shi imagined."

Shen Wenxing asked, puzzled, "Uncle, what is meant by 'qi sensation'?"

Huang Qingzhou put on a robe and explained, "We martial artists train our qi and blood."

"Everyone has qi and blood, but the qi and blood of ordinary people are very weak."

"Martial artists cultivate their qi and blood through stance training, medicinal diets, and other tonics, until they can sense and control the power of their qi and blood." "Your current stage is the stage where you are about to break through to become a post-natal martial artist, also known as qi sensing."

"This is not an illusion. Cultivate diligently, and your uncle will have someone add three doses of medicinal diet to your diet every month. Strive to break through to the Acquired Martial Artist realm as soon as possible."

Add medicinal cuisine?
Shen Wenxing was somewhat embarrassed after hearing this.

Three medicinal meals cost ten taels of silver. He knew his family was already struggling enough and really didn't want to spend any more money.

"Uncle, will not adding medicinal food affect my breakthrough?"

In his view, not adding medicinal food would at most delay his breakthrough, but he was not even ten years old yet, so there was no rush.

"You brat, your uncle knows your family is struggling. Consider this medicinal meal a gift from your uncle, don't overthink it."

Huang Qingzhou saw through his little scheme and couldn't help but laugh and scold him.

Having witnessed Shen Wenxing's talent, he had already made up his mind that it was time to renew his relationship with the Shen family.

Let's consider the first step of investment as three medicinal meals.

"By the way, I heard your mother was about to give birth, how is she doing now?"

Shen Wenxing was slightly taken aback, remembering his father's instructions when he came, and hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting.

"Uncle, please forgive me. I've been practicing martial arts so much lately that I've gone a bit mad. Please wait a moment."

As he spoke, he hurriedly ran back to his residence and retrieved the invitation from under his pillow.

"When my father came this time, he did not see my uncle, so he asked me to give you this invitation. I was so careless that I forgot about it and almost ruined everything."

Huang Qingzhou took the invitation, opened it, glanced at it, and smiled:
"There's still some time, it's not too late."

Shen Wenxing breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands slightly: "Then I won't bother you any longer, Uncle."

After he left, Huang Qingzhou glanced at the invitation in his hand again, smiled and shook his head.

How could he not see that this was a play put on by the father and son?

However, this scene doesn't evoke any sense of disgust.

On the contrary, Huang Qingzhou liked Shen Yuan's self-awareness very much.

If he sends the invitation directly, it would be embarrassing to refuse, but if I accept, I would feel uncomfortable.

Now, just as he was thinking of renewing his relationship with the Shen family, this invitation arrived.

It was just right.

"It's so comfortable being around smart people," Huang Qingzhou said with a smile as he put away the invitation and walked into the house.

……

Time flies, and the full moon celebration for Shen Wenping and Shen Wen'an is fast approaching.

During this period, Shen Yuan went to the Blackwater Pool several more times, but he did not catch a single fish.

Because the alligator dragons in the pool had inexplicably climbed onto the shore, and ferocious alligator dragons could be seen everywhere around the Blackwater Pool, he dared not approach them at all.

Perhaps Shen Yuan was also afraid of these dragons, because he never saw the old man fishing again.

Late October.

The courtyard of the house was filled with joy.

Since it wasn't the full moon celebration for the eldest son, not many people were invited. Including Lu Zhiyuan and his family, and Huang Qingzhou's family, there were only three tables of food in total.

The food and drinks were simple, and they asked Li Shu, a skilled cook in the village, to help. Shen Yuan greeted the guests at the door.

In the distance, the mute man walked slowly towards them, carrying a wooden box in one hand and leading a donkey with the other. Lu Zhiyuan sat on the donkey's back.

"Father, the teacher is here," Shi Tou reminded him, and Shen Yuan quickly went to greet him.

"Master, you are mute."

Lu Zhiyuan rolled off the bed, cupped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Brother Shen."

Taking advantage of the situation, the mute man handed over the wooden box, smiling and cupping his hands in greeting.

"Please come in, Master." Shen Yuan smiled as he took the wooden box, and then saw a horse-drawn carriage slowly approaching on the village road in the distance.

Two figures on warhorses followed behind the carriage.

"Stone, go inside with the teacher first. Your Uncle Huang is here, let me go greet him."

"Master, please excuse me."

Lu Zhiyuan nodded slightly and followed Shi Tou into the courtyard.

At this moment, the carriage slowly approached, and Shen Yuan then saw that Huang Yunxiao and another burly man with a full beard were following behind the carriage.

I'd like to report to everyone.
