Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 72 Breakthrough in the Pool
"Father."

Shen Wenxing's voice rang out from behind.

As a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage, he was already able to sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him.

He could clearly sense Shen Yuangang's breakthrough the moment he started.

Seeing the spiritual energy fluctuations on his father's body slowly disappear, he knew that the breakthrough had failed.

Shen Yuan sighed softly, "I originally intended to use the Qi Nourishing Pill to try and break through to the Innate Realm, but the power of heaven and earth surrounding this Black Water Pool is still insufficient..."

Shen Wenxing came up to him and said, "When I broke through that day, I was fortunate that Immortal Li used a spirit crystal fragment to help me, otherwise it would have been very difficult to succeed."

"Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Blackwater Pool is denser than in other places, it is probably not enough to meet the requirements for a breakthrough."

"but……"

He turned his head to look in the direction of the Blackwater Pool, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I can feel that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seems to be more concentrated the closer you get to the center of the Blackwater Pool."

"Father, why don't you try it in the pool?"

Why don't you try going to the middle of the Blackwater Pool?

Shen Yuan frowned: "Will this work?"

Shen Wenxing smiled faintly: "It wouldn't hurt to give it a try, I'll protect you."

Shen Yuan nodded, and the father and son left the courtyard and came to the edge of the Blackwater Pool.

The bright moonlight hung high overhead, and the deep pool, illuminated by the moonlight, resembled a giant silver mirror.

A gentle breeze rippled across the surface of the silver mirror, while the chirping of insects rose and fell from the surrounding bushes.

Not long after moving here, Shen Yuan built a small boat in his spare time so that he could catch some fish in the pond to improve his meals.

The father and son boarded the small boat and slowly rowed towards the center of the lake.

"The alligator dragons here are truly very spiritual."

On the small boat, Shen Wenxing noticed that the crocodiles around him were swimming away from the boat as they sensed his approach, and he exclaimed in surprise.

Shen Yuan nodded: "Since our house was built, these beasts have basically stopped coming here."

"It saved me a lot of trouble."

The small boat quickly reached the center of the lake.

Shen Wenxing looked around and, after confirming there was no threat, said, "Father, please try again. I'll watch from here."

After nodding, Shen Yuan took out another Qi-Nourishing Pill and put it in his mouth.

As the medicine took effect, that strange feeling returned.

A large amount of spiritual energy slowly gathered around him, and Shen Wenxing was overjoyed as he carefully sensed the concentration of this spiritual energy!

My own perception was indeed correct.

The central area of ​​this black pool is indeed the place with the most abundant spiritual energy.

Such a concentration of spiritual energy is almost comparable to the concentration of spiritual energy when Li Heshan used the spirit crystal fragment!

It should be enough to meet the needs of the breakthrough.

A rich source of spiritual energy flowed into Shen Yuan's body through his acupoints. He held his breath and focused his mind, guiding the energy to circulate within his body according to the breathing techniques.

About fifteen minutes later, his body trembled slightly!
A unique spiritual energy fluctuation, characteristic of cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm, slowly emanated from his body!

"Father, is it done?"

Upon seeing this, Shen Wenxing asked in surprise.

Shen Yuan opened his eyes and nodded.

He was very excited to feel the changes in his body caused by breaking through his innate level.

Previously, as a martial artist who had acquired his skills, he only felt that his strength was much greater than usual, but there were not many other changes.

Now that he has broken through to the Innate Realm, he can clearly feel a sublimation of his life level.

This feeling is undoubtedly caused by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth entering the body and transforming the internal organs.

"So Father also has a talent for cultivation."

“I asked you to practice standing meditation with me before, but you refused.”

As a son, Shen Wenxing was genuinely happy for his father's breakthrough in innate abilities.

"If Grandpa had been willing to let you practice martial arts when you were young, Father, you might have already gone far into the Innate Realm by now."

Shen Yuan smiled and shook his head after hearing this.

“Your grandmother was in poor health back then, and the ancestral title was stripped away by your grandfather’s generation.”

“The family’s harvest wasn’t even enough to buy medicine for your grandmother. That year there was a famine, and your uncle was already as old as Anu, but he still starved to death.”

"Although I managed to pull through, life was still tough. Let alone practicing martial arts, I couldn't even afford the tuition for my private school." "Besides, I'm not a martial arts prodigy. This breakthrough to the Innate Realm was just a fluke."

Shen Yuan did not tell his son that his breakthrough to the Innate Realm was entirely due to his and the White Jade Tortoise Shell's efforts.

After all, without the white jade tortoise shell tempering his bloodline, and without his breakthrough first to relay this insight, relying on himself, let alone the innate level, it would be difficult to even become an acquired level.

Shen Wenxing nodded in surprise; this was the first time he had learned that his father had an older brother.

“Father, don’t be modest. After you came of age, you broke through to the Acquired Realm, but you have been stuck at the peak of the Acquired Realm for nearly twenty years without breaking through. If you knew that you had broken through to the Innate Realm first, you would be extremely envious.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan said solemnly, "You'd better not tell anyone about my breakthrough to the Innate Realm."

Shen Wenxing was slightly taken aback, then seemed to understand his father's meaning.

This breakthrough to the Innate Realm was achieved with the help of the spiritual energy of the Blackwater Pool. If word gets out, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from those with ulterior motives, causing unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that he understood what he meant, Shen Yuan picked up the oar and said, "Alright, let's go back."

"Father, wait a moment."

Shen Wenxing glanced around and whispered, "The spiritual energy in the central area of ​​this black pool is clearly much denser than in the surrounding areas."

"You mean... is there some treasure in this pool?"

Shen Yuan glanced at the shimmering pool, pondered for a moment, and then smiled, "Whether there are treasures or not, it's best if we don't explore."

"It's safer to leave this thing at the bottom of the pool than to keep it in our home."

"The entire Blackwater Pool now belongs to our family. If there are any treasures, we can come and take them whenever we have the strength and need them in the future."

Shen Wenxing nodded.

He also knew that although both father and son were now at the Innate Realm.

But putting aside immortals, even the veteran innate experts within the Yu Kingdom are beyond their ability to deal with.

The treasure at the bottom of the pool has remained undiscovered for so many years. If it were to be retrieved and discovered, it would be a catastrophe.

"However, although the treasure cannot be taken out, it cannot be left unused."

Shen Yuan visually estimated the distance from their location to the center of the pool.

"After the crops are planted, I will find a way to build a small house in the center of this pond so that I can cultivate in the future."

Having broken through to the Innate Realm and being able to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Shen Yuan also discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy in the center of the Blackwater Pool was indeed much higher than that in the courtyard.

Now that we have embarked on the path of cultivation, we naturally cannot give up such a wonderful place.

"Father, be careful. This pool is extremely deep, and besides the alligator dragon, there are also some giant pythons..."

"It's alright," Shen Yuan said with a faint smile. "I don't intend to go deep into the pool either."

Building houses in water is not easy; under normal circumstances, it is necessary to dive underwater to drive piles.

But as a time traveler, he had plenty of ways to deal with it.

The father and son rowed away from Blackwater Pool and returned home close to midnight.

On the bed, Shen Yuan looked somewhat nervously at the white jade tortoise shell in his sea of ​​consciousness.

I just decided to build a small hut in the center of Blackwater Pool as my daily training place, and now I want to see if the white jade tortoise shell will give me any specific instructions.

child time.

Two lines of text slowly emerged on the white jade tortoise shell.

[The divination result has been updated!]

[Today's hexagram - inauspicious]: Strong winds at 9:00 AM, winds will stop at 1:00 PM, the sun will be blazing, avoid long journeys.

Upon seeing the divination result, Shen Yuan frowned deeply.

A strong wind, and it still turns out to be an ominous sign?
If I go out, will I be blown away by the strong wind, or even hit by falling tree branches?
More importantly, he discovered that his previous guesses seemed to be wrong.

This white jade tortoise shell will not give a specific divination result based entirely on its own decision.
Are there any other triggering conditions?
The next morning, Shen Wenxing got up early, packed his bags, mounted his horse, and headed towards Anyang County.

At the end of the Si hour (9-11 AM), Shen Wenxing was leisurely walking along the official road near Anyang County when he suddenly heard the sound of rapid hoofbeats behind him.

By the time he turned around, the galloping warhorse was already upon him!

Amidst the swirling dust, Shen Wenxing suddenly caught a glimpse of a scarlet flag planted on the back of a soldier on horseback!

His expression changed slightly, and he quickly moved a few steps to the side of the road to make way for the other person.

Having served in the military for two years, Shen Wenxing knew exactly what this red flag represented.

That's the highest level of emergency military intelligence, only used in the event of a foreign invasion.

Watching the warhorses disappear into the distance, Shen Wenxing frowned. The three prefectures of the Western Regions had only been recovered not long ago, had the barbarians launched another counterattack?
