Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 62 Hidden dangers
Xu Xiu once said that the power of heaven and earth was slightly more concentrated in the Blackwater Pool area than in other places.

Based on what Li Heshan and the other man had mentioned about spiritual energy, Shen Wenxing believed that the so-called "power of heaven and earth" around the Blackwater Pool was spiritual energy!
The "Yangnao Land" they mentioned probably refers to the territory of the Yu Kingdom, or perhaps even a wider area, including the Western Regions barbarians.

Shen Wenxing guessed that the "barrenness" of Yangnao Land should not refer to the soil, but rather to the spiritual energy of this land.

If that's the case, then the Blackwater Pool has a higher concentration of spiritual energy than other places. Does that mean the Blackwater Pool is suitable for planting spiritual seeds?
The family had to build a new house, pull strings to save his younger brother Shen Wenyan, and cover daily expenses.

Relying solely on a few dozen acres of farmland and orchards on the mountain is not enough to make ends meet.

If the Blackwater Pool is suitable for planting spirit seeds, then it's worth a try.

Once the planting is successful, Shen Wenxing estimates that the income will definitely be more than that from farming or growing ordinary fruit.

However, this matter cannot be rushed.

We still need to consider the value of these spiritual seeds and the difficulty of cultivating them.

After all, Gongyang River also said that the investment cost of planting spirit seeds is too high, and if they all die, it will be a huge loss.

Moreover, he needed to discuss such a big matter with his father.

Currently, Shen Yuan and Shen Wenping, siblings, are temporarily staying at Huang Yunxiao's home.

Shen Wenxing stayed at Shengxian Pavilion until his evening rest before rushing over there.

After everyone had a simple dinner, Huang Yunxiao left.

In the courtyard, Shen Wen'an was practicing his sword as always.

Inside the pavilion, the father and son sat facing each other.

Shen Wenxing then recounted the story of the spirit seed.

"Father, what do you think of this matter?"

Shen Yuan did not answer immediately.

After pondering for a long time, he said solemnly, "This matter is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface."

"As you said, the immortal said that the spiritual energy in the entire Great Yu is scarce, while the Blackwater Pool is rich in spiritual energy. What does this mean?"

Shen Wenxing was slightly taken aback, and his brows furrowed.

"Does this mean... Blackwater Pool is a special treasure land?"

Shen Yuan nodded: "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. Our family monopolizes such a precious place as Blackwater Pool. If people find out, especially immortals, what do you think will happen?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing felt a wave of fear wash over him.

He didn't think that his relationship with the immortal was enough to stop the other party from having greedy thoughts.

If the secret of the Blackwater Pool is exposed, it will be fine if the immortals don't get greedy. But if they do, no one in the entire Great Yu will be able to help them.

Moreover, even if the immortals don't care about Blackwater Pool, what about the other families?

There are countless families in the Great Yu Dynasty that are stronger than them. Even if the Blackwater Pool is theirs to possess legally, if those powerful figures have any ulterior motives, they have plenty of ways to take it away.

They might even be silenced to keep the secret.

"Then we really can't plant this spirit seed."

Without planting spirit seeds, most people wouldn't notice anything wrong with the Blackwater Pool.

"Do not."

"The spirit seed still needs to be planted."

Shen Yuan slowly stood up and said, "If Blackwater Pool is truly a treasure trove, it would be a waste to possess such a treasure without knowing how to use it."

"It's just that the spiritual seeds we grow can't be exchanged for money."

Shen Wenxing asked in confusion, "Father, do you mean... we should keep the spirit seeds we grow ourselves?"

Shen Yuan nodded: "We'll have to wait until after the spiritual root test tomorrow to discuss everything."

"If Wen'an can truly join the immortal sect as we wish, then these spiritual seeds will be of great use."

"Whether it's given to Wen An to use or taken out after Wen An has established himself in the Immortal Sect, it will be a huge fortune."

His thoughts were similar to Shen Wenxing's. Of the four children, Shen Wen'an was the most likely to become a disciple of the immortal.

Once Shen Wen'an is found to have spiritual roots and successfully joins Qiyun Valley as a disciple, as long as Qiyun Valley is not a demonic sect, it is highly likely that other disciples will not allow him to rob his fellow disciples' families.

More importantly, after Shen Wen'an joins Qiyun Valley and begins cultivating immortal techniques, he will also learn about the characteristics of these spiritual seeds.

If these spiritual seeds do not require special refining or preparation, they can be consumed directly.

He, his wife, and other family members can then take the Spirit Seed to improve their health. They don't need it to be very effective; at least it can prolong their lives.

If Shen Wen'an doesn't have the aptitude for cultivation, then these spiritual seeds will have to be sealed away indefinitely, and even if they rot, they can't be sold for money.

It is only after a descendant with the aptitude for cultivation is born in the family and the medicinal properties of the spirit seed are understood that it can be taken out and consumed.

"Father, I understand!"

Shen Wenxing said, "Then after tomorrow's test, I'll see if I should buy some spirit seeds."

Shen Yuan nodded: "We don't need too many. We can try planting some first. Uncle Ya is a great agricultural expert at Blackwater Pool. With him there, we can be more secure."

"Also, there is one more thing."

Shen Yuan said with a solemn expression, "You still remember Xu Xiu, right?"

Shen Wenxing was slightly taken aback: "I remember him, what happened to him?"

Shen Yuan sighed and said, "There were no cultivators in Yu Kingdom before. Xu Xiu was also self-taught. Although he had been to the Blackwater Pool, he did not know the specific secrets of the Blackwater Pool."

"Now that various county governments have opened Ascension Pavilions, the secrets of cultivating immortality will gradually be known to people. Father is worried that Xu Xiu will guess the secret of the Blackwater Pool."

Xu Xiu had previously been practicing on his own, relying solely on a breathing technique left behind by an old man who appeared to be an immortal.

No one told him about cultivators; he only felt that the power of heaven and earth in the Blackwater Pool was slightly stronger than in other places.

"Is Father worried that he will reveal the secret of the Blackwater Pool?"

Shen Yuan remained silent.

Intuitively, he felt that Xu Xiu probably wouldn't.

But gambling on human nature is not his guiding principle.

The difference between good and evil in human nature is just a thought away.

"Keep a close eye on things at the Ascension Pavilion. If you hear any news about Xu Xiu, inform your father immediately."

"Dad, go and talk to him."

Xu Xiu is quite strong, and the relationship between the two sides is currently positive.

If it can continue to be maintained, that would be the best outcome.

Shen Wenxing's expression was somewhat solemn.

Xu Xiu is very strong. If the other party is truly greedy, they really have no way to deal with him with their current strength.

"There's no need to worry too much," Shen Yuan said with a smile. "Xu Xiu knew about the Blackwater Pool a long time ago, but he didn't stay there to cultivate. This proves that either he didn't take the Blackwater Pool seriously, or there was a better place than the Blackwater Pool."

"We'll talk about this after we see him."

Shen Wenxing nodded, his gaze involuntarily turning to Shen Wen'an not far away.

Everything depends on tomorrow's test.

If Shen Wen'an can pass the test and join the immortal sect, then all the problems will be solved.

"It's getting late, go to sleep."

Shen Yuan turned around and patted him on the shoulder.

Late at night, perhaps because he was not used to sleeping in the same bed, or perhaps because he had many worries on his mind, Shen Yuan was unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Seeing that it was already midnight, he immediately sank his consciousness into his sea of ​​consciousness.
