Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 35 Choice
Looking at the book in front of him, Shen Wenxing did not reach out to take it, but looked at his father.

Shen Yuan didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.

If what Xu Xiu said earlier was true, then this breathing technique was passed down by the "immortal" he mentioned.

He cultivated according to the breathing technique for forty years and became a cultivator even stronger than a Xiantian martial artist.

This is enough to prove the power of this breathing technique!
Could this be the great opportunity mentioned in the divination?
He had only met Xu Xiu twice and they didn't have a deep relationship. Why would Xu Xiu give him something so valuable?

Moreover, this thing is a hot potato; if you don't handle it well, it could absolutely ruin your family!

Seeing that neither of them reached out to take it, Xu Xiu smiled.

He placed the book on a nearby rock and murmured, "Ever since I came out of the valley and found my family dead, I have had no more attachments in this world."

"All I want for the rest of my life is to break through my current level and go out into the world."

"However, after decades of arduous study, I have come to realize how dull and foolish my own talents are."

"Seeing your son reach the Body Tempering Realm at such a young age, I had the idea of ​​taking a gamble."

"If you have any concerns, young brother, you may discard this book in the Blackwater Pool, and I will not blame you."

After saying this, he got up and walked towards the alligator dragon corpse. His sharp blade flashed, and he quickly peeled off the alligator dragon's skin, selecting the best pieces of flesh and blood from its body.

"Young man, may I borrow your net rope?"

Shen Yuan nodded somewhat blankly, watching as he used a piece of net rope to tie up hundreds of pounds of flesh and blood, carried it on his back, and walked away into the distance.

After a long while, the father and son looked at the mess of alligator skin and internal organs scattered on the ground.

"Father, what should we do?"

Shen Yuan got up, picked up the book left by Xu Xiu, flipped through a few pages, and found that it was full of obscure and difficult-to-understand text.

"Look at it."

He handed the book to his son.

After looking through it for a while, Shen Wenxing shook his head slightly: "It should be fine, but I can't understand it right away. I need to spend some time studying it."

Shen Yuan sighed, "Then take it back."

Although I still have some worries, I can't let this opportunity slip by.

If this so-called breathing technique could help Shi Tou reach the same level as Xu Xiu, it would be an immense opportunity for the family.

At that time, let alone the Huang family, even the Su family, with the county magistrate in charge, will be nothing.

This is an opportunity for them.

Shen Wenxing nodded and carefully put the book away.

With his clothes almost dried from the heat, Shen Yuan glanced at the fishing net beside him, wondering if he could cast it a couple more times to catch some fish, only to find that the newly bought net had several large holes torn in it.

"Father, Alligator Dragon!"

At the same time, Shen Wenxing also noticed that the heads of alligators were emerging from the water in the originally calm pool and slowly swimming towards the shore.

"That's strange. These guys didn't come out when the old man was here."

"Now that the old masters are gone, they've all started to emerge."

Shen Wenxing stood up, shielding his father behind him, and warily looked around.

Upon seeing this, Shen Yuan frowned slightly, suddenly remembering Xu Xiu's words that the creatures in the Blackwater Pool were deliberately avoiding him.

Could it be because of the so-called "aura of a strong person"?
It seems that it's true that the fish in the Blackwater Pool are intelligent.

"Stone, tidy these up, let's go."

The fishing net was torn, and the alligator surfaced; it seemed the fish couldn't be caught.

Fortunately, Xu Xiu only took the most essential flesh and blood from the alligator dragon. There were still many scraps, internal organs, and the alligator dragon skin left behind. He could sell what he could, eat what he could, and use the rest as material for composting.

Before the crocodiles came ashore, the father and son hurriedly cleaned up all their belongings.

Before leaving, Shen Wenxing caught a glimpse of several large alligator eggs in the bushes. Without saying a word, he took off his clothes and wrapped them all up.

In the small courtyard, Hu Yufen was embroidering.

The two little ones, Shen Wenping and Shen Wen'an, were fast asleep in the cradle next to them.

Hearing the commotion, she got up and went to greet them. She saw the father and son carrying tattered fishing nets, as well as a lot of bloody entrails and flesh.

Hu Yufen's eyes widened in shock at the sight of the terrifying alligator skin on Shen Wenxing's shoulder.

"What are you..."

She didn't know what the two of them had gone through.

Shen Wenxing tossed the alligator skin off his shoulder to the ground, then helped take the things off Shen Yuan's shoulder before laughing, "Mother, Father and I caught an alligator today!"

Alligator Dragon!

Hu Yufen stared in astonishment at the bloody crocodile skin on the ground, then at the flesh and blood. She couldn't believe that her husband and son had actually captured such a terrifying monster!

"Don't listen to his nonsense, he's met a master."

Shen Yuan smiled as he approached the well, drew up a large bucket of water, and the father and son began to wash the blood off their bodies.

"I ran into the old man I told you about last time again."

"Did you know that old man was a very powerful martial artist?"

"If it weren't for him, Stone and I probably wouldn't have been able to deal with this alligator dragon."

He briefly recounted what happened, omitting the most dangerous part.

"Last time we let them suffer a loss, and this time we were fortunate enough to get their help again. Most of the alligator meat was given to them."

"Take a look at the rest of these later. Pickle what you can eat and send some to the front yard."

"Things that can't be eaten are used to compost manure."

He hadn't figured out how to bring up the breathing technique yet.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

Last time, it was just a hundred-year-old blood toad molt that attracted the attention of martial artists, leading to the destruction of his family. This breathing technique is far more precious than the blood toad molt.

Even without the divination, he knew he must not reveal it.

Having snapped out of her shock, Hu Yufen quickly put down her embroidery and needlework, brought a wooden basin from the kitchen, and prepared to pick out the flesh and blood on the ground.

The father and son returned to their room, changed into clean clothes, and then came to help.

Xu Xiu only picked out the most essential part of the flesh and blood from the entire alligator dragon.

There is still a lot of flesh and blood left.

After some selection, there were over a hundred pounds of good-quality flesh and blood, while most of the internal organs were thrown away.

"Father, this alligator skin is so tough!"

Shen Wenxing stroked the completely peeled-off alligator skin in surprise.

Shen Yuan nodded noncommittally.

If this were in my previous life, it would definitely be top-quality leather, perfect for sewing bags, making leather jackets, and leather shoes—100% genuine material.

"Let's hang it up to air dry first, and then go to town sometime to see if we can sell it for some money."

After everything was settled, Shen Yuan picked out a piece of hind leg meat weighing two or three pounds and headed towards Zhao Shuan's house.

In the courtyard, Zhao Shuan was chopping firewood when he saw Shen Yun carrying a piece of meat. He asked curiously, "A Yuan, what kind of meat is this?"

The flesh of the alligator dragon was different from ordinary flesh; it was entirely white, and Zhao Shuan had never seen it before.

Shen Yuan raised the piece of meat with a mysterious smile: "This is good stuff, you've definitely never eaten it before."

Zhao Shuan's appetite was piqued, and he quickly leaned closer to take a closer look: "Tell me quickly, what kind of meat is this?"

"Alligator Dragon".

Shen Yuan said in a low voice.

"What!?" Zhao Shuan stared in disbelief, his mouth agape.

Shen Yuan explained, "This morning, I took Shi Tou to fish at Blackwater Pool. When we got to the pool, we suddenly found a dead alligator on the shore. Its body had been eaten up by something, and we carried the rest back with us."

"After removing the skin and internal organs, there's not much left. I'll give you some to try."

Zhao Shuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Goodness! I thought you killed a crocodile dragon!"

He was very happy to receive the meat.

"Tsk tsk, I've lived most of my life and never eaten alligator meat before. I'll have to have a good taste tonight!"

"Ah Yuan, thanks."

Shen Yuan waved his hand: "I'm leaving."

In the evening, after picking up Shen Wenyan, the family stewed a pot of alligator meat, which they ate with great relish.

After finishing their meal, Shen Wenxing came to Shen Yuan and said, "Father, I want to go with Anu to see Master Lu tomorrow."

The breathing technique left by Xu Xiu is obscure and difficult to understand. To figure it out as soon as possible, we need Lu Zhiyuan's help.

"You can go, but the breathing technique must never be revealed to anyone."

"If this gets out, it will surely lead to the destruction of our family, do you understand?"

Shen Wenxing nodded solemnly.
