Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 68 Double Happiness
It's harvest season again.

Now, the youngest child has gone to the Immortal Sect to cultivate, and the eldest child works at the Immortal Ascension Pavilion in the county government. There are no major expenses for the family anymore.

However, as the children grew up and their appetites increased, coupled with the addition of new family members, after paying taxes and keeping enough food for the family, there wasn't much rice left to sell after the summer harvest.

Fortunately, there is still income from the orchard.

That day, Huang Lingxiu suddenly fainted while working in the field.

Shen Wenxing and Shen Yuan, a married couple, quickly dropped their sickles and ran over.

"Lingxiu!?"

"Lingxiu!?"

Shen Wenxing held her and called out urgently, while Hu Yufen, who was standing next to her, quickly used her straw hat to shield her from the scorching sun.

A moment later, Huang Lingxiu slowly woke up.

"I'm fine... Ugh!"

Her face was pale, and she kept gagging, as if she had heatstroke.

"Alright, hurry up and take Lingxiu to see Uncle Sun. Your mother and I will take care of things in the fields."

Shen Yuan spoke.

Shen Wenxing immediately picked up Huang Lingxiu and ran towards Sun Fuchun's house in the village.

Inside the medicine hut, Sun Fuchun slowly withdrew his hand from taking the pulse and said with a smile, "Little Stone, congratulations, you're going to be a father."

Upon hearing this, the couple looked stunned.

"What, not ready yet?"

Sun Fuchun looked at them with a smile.

Shen Wenxing scratched his head, a smile he couldn't suppress on his face.

The joy of becoming a father for the first time is indescribable.

Overjoyed, he asked with some concern, "Grandpa Sun, is Lingxiu alright?"

"I just fainted in the field."

Sun Fuchun shook his head slightly: "Lingxiu is a martial artist, and she's in good health."

"Now that you're newly pregnant, you should avoid strenuous activity during this period. If you experience severe morning sickness, you should also pay close attention to your diet, keeping it light and easily digestible..."

After carefully noting down Sun Fuchun's instructions, Shen Wenxing was still somewhat uneasy.

"Grandpa Sun, could you please prescribe some more medicine to help Lingxiu recover?"

Sun Fuchun chuckled and said, "You're just overly concerned."

"Since you've put it that way, I'll give you some money."

After getting the medicine from Sun Fuchun, on the way home, Shen Wenxing circled around Huang Lingxiu as if she were a fine piece of jade.

"Oh no! I'm fine!"

Seeing his nervous expression, Huang Lingxiu smiled helplessly.

Shen Wenxing continued to do things his own way.

When the two returned home, Shen Yuan and Hu Yufen had already come back and prepared the meal.

"Father!"

"Auntie!"

As soon as he entered, Shen Wenxing called out happily.

The couple arrived at the door, and Hu Yufen asked with concern, "Did you let your grandfather see it? What happened?"

Shen Wenxing chuckled and scratched his head: "Mother, Lingxiu is pregnant!"

"Keep your voice down!"

"He's about to become a father, and he's still making such a fuss..."

Huang Lingxiu rolled her eyes at him, but there was a faint smile in her eyes.

Shen Yuan and Hu Yufen were stunned at first when they heard the news, but then their faces lit up with joy.

"Good good!"

"You're pregnant, so you need to take care of yourself."

"Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you right now!"

Hu Yufen came up and helped Huang Lingxiu speak.

"mother……"

Huang Lingxiu looked at the excited group with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, feeling a warmth in her heart.

In the days that followed, because of her pregnancy, she was no longer allowed to participate in the work in the fields, and her family took great care of her as if she were a precious treasure.

That day, Shen Wenxing was cultivating on the second floor of the Shengxian Pavilion when the Left Clerk Gongyang He hurriedly came to report.

"Sir, the immortal has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing hurriedly pushed open the door.

"Immortal Li!?"

Gongyang River nodded and said, "There is another female immortal, not the Zhongli Immortal from last time."

"The two immortals are having tea downstairs. You should go and see them, Steward."

Shen Wenxing nodded slightly and hurriedly followed Gongyanghe to the downstairs room. At this moment, Li Heshan was talking with a pretty girl in a pink dress, with a delicate face and slightly chubby cheeks.

"Greetings to the two immortals."

Shen Wenxing cupped his hands in greeting, and Li Heshan nodded with a smile: "Young Brother Shen, please introduce yourself."

"This is my junior sister, Pei Yuwan."

“Junior Sister Pei, this is Shen Wenxing, whom I mentioned to you. He is also the elder brother of Junior Brother Shen Wen’an.”

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuwan looked at Shen Wenxing with curiosity.

"You're that stubborn little brat's older brother?"

Shen Wenxing's smile froze slightly.

"A little stubborn brat?"

This name...

He glanced at Li Heshan with some embarrassment.

"Ha ha……"

Li Heshan laughed and explained, "Your younger brother arrived at Qiyun Valley and was taken to Yinyun Academy by Junior Sister Pei's father."

"But that kid is too stubborn. He refuses to cultivate other immortal techniques and insists on practicing swordsmanship, which has greatly angered Uncle Pei."

"Many of his fellow disciples in the Hidden Cloud Academy know that he is a stubborn person."

Upon hearing this explanation, Shen Wenxing's expression turned strange.

He repeatedly cupped his hands and said, "Wen An has caused you trouble. I apologize to Pei Xian on his behalf."

Pei Yuwan smiled and waved her hand: "No need to apologize, my father likes him very much."

"Because they have similar personalities."

"Ahem!" Upon hearing this, Li Heshan hurriedly coughed lightly to interrupt.

Similar personalities?

Isn't this implying that his own father is also a stubborn person?

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business."

Li Heshan took out a porcelain bottle and a silver note from his pocket and handed them over, saying, "Your younger brother has become a formal disciple of my Qiyun Valley, and Anyang County has also provided three spiritual root practitioners for my Qiyun Valley. These five Qi Nourishing Pills are a reward for Brother Shen."

"The silver notes were given by the Emperor of Great Yu. There may be further rewards later. Brother Shen, please wait for the Emperor's decree for details."

Five more Qi-Nourishing Pills!?

Shen Wenxing was secretly delighted and quickly accepted the porcelain bottle and silver notes.

That was a silver note worth a thousand taels of silver, which was a huge reward.

"Thank you, Immortal!"

Li Heshan waved his hand: "I've come here for no other reason than to tell Brother Shen that your younger brother is doing well in Qiyun Valley."

"In addition, as a steward of the Ascension Pavilion, Brother Shen, you should also pay more attention to the matter of spirit seeds. If Anyang County can cultivate spirit seeds, Qiyun Valley will offer other rewards."

Mentioning the spirit seed, Shen Wenxing's heart tightened.

His father had analyzed this before, and considering how much Li Heshan cared about the spirit seed, he vaguely guessed that Qiyun Valley cared about more than just the spirit seed; there must be something else involved.

"Rest assured, Immortal, I will keep this in mind."

Li Heshan nodded: "Alright, there's nothing else. I'll take Junior Sister Pei for a walk. You go ahead with your work."

After escorting the two to the outside of the Ascension Pavilion, Shen Wenxing returned to the pavilion, where Gongyang He and Fang Qing immediately surrounded him.

"Congratulations, Steward!"

Gongyang River spoke in a flattering tone.

The sight of the three chatting and laughing in the side room just now truly made them envious.

Those are immortals, high and mighty beings.

It is a great honor to have the opportunity to converse with an immortal.

Shen Wenxing stuffed the silver notes and Qi-Nourishing Pills into his pocket, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The immortal said that our Ascension Pavilion in Anyang County is doing a good job."

"Brother Gongyang, please withdraw some silver from the treasury."

“Each servant in the pavilion will be rewarded with two taels of silver, each guard with five taels, and you and Brother Fang with ten taels each.”

"I'll pay for it."

He naturally wouldn't share the five Qi-Nourishing Pills that Qiyun Valley had bestowed upon him, but he couldn't put all the one thousand taels of silver that the imperial court had awarded him into his own pocket.

You have to give your subordinates some incentives so they will be motivated to work hard.

"Thank you, sir!"

Upon hearing this, the servants and guards inside the pavilion were all overjoyed.

Shen Wenxing waved his hand and turned to go back upstairs.

Looking at the porcelain vase in his hand, he was caught in a dilemma.

During this period of cultivation, he could clearly feel that his cultivation level had reached a certain bottleneck.

Having taken the Qi-Nourishing Pill once, if I were to take another one now, could I use its medicinal power to directly break through to the Innate Realm?
