Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 76 Shen Chongming

"Fairy Pei".

Shen Wenxing quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

Pei Yuwan nodded, then looked at Li Heshan and said, "Sect Leader..."

“Brother Shen, I already know about the spirit seed. You should go back to Anyang first. I will personally visit Anyang in a few days.”

Li Heshan interrupted Pei Yuwan, clearly not wanting Shen Wenxing to hear the sect's decision.

"Alright, then I'll take my leave."

Shen Wenxing wisely left.

"Junior sister, you must be more careful in your actions in the future. How can you talk about important matters of the sect without keeping them in mind?"

Pei Yuwan stuck out her tongue but didn't refute it.

Seeing that Shen Wenxing had already walked away, she spoke up: "What the sect leader means is that we cannot have a direct confrontation with Hundred Beasts Mountain."

"If Hundred Beasts Mountain wants any of the lands belonging to the Yu Kingdom, then the Yu Kingdom shall give them to them."

"However, Master Uncle wants you, Senior Brother, to gain more benefits in the negotiations with Hundred Beasts Mountain, and it would be best to find out exactly what Hundred Beasts Mountain is plotting."

Li Heshan nodded slightly.

His sect's intentions were roughly the same as he had guessed.

The current problem is whether Emperor Yu is willing to relinquish the territory he has conquered.

The two sides are currently in a cooperative relationship, and forcing him to agree will inevitably worsen their relationship.

Qiyun Valley's various arrangements in Yangnao Land still rely on the help of the Yu Kingdom's royal family. If relations deteriorate, it will not benefit Qiyun Valley.

"Then what brings Shen Wenxing to see his senior brother?"

Pei Yuwan asked curiously.

Li Heshan put aside his thoughts for the moment and said with a faint smile, "Good thing."

"In Anyang County, two families have cultivated a spiritual seed."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuwan's beautiful eyes lit up instantly!
"So, there really is a spiritual vein in Anyang County!?"

"It could just be some treasure lands where spiritual energy gathers, but spiritual veins haven't yet formed underground," Li Heshan explained.

The growth of a spiritual seed requires a certain concentration of spiritual energy.

The land of Yangnao is devoid of spiritual energy, and spiritual seeds cannot grow in ordinary land. Only those places with underground spiritual veins or naturally formed places where spiritual energy gathers under the influence of the forces of heaven and earth can survive.

The specifics will only be known when he personally visits Anyang County.

"Junior sister, you've had a long journey. Please rest for a while."

"I'll go to the palace to discuss this with Emperor Yu."

……

Outside the palace, Li Heshan walked out with a somewhat grim expression.

As he expected, the three prefectures of the Western Regions were lost territories that the current Emperor Yu had endured for a hundred years and paid the price of hundreds of thousands of soldiers' lives to recover. It was simply impossible for him to hand them over now.

Even knowing that the barbarians were backed by a celestial sect even more powerful than Qiyun Valley, Emperor Yu still acted very assertively.

Li Heshan even saw in his expression a resolute determination to rather die than bend.

Inside Yingxian Garden, Pei Yuwan approached and asked, "Senior Brother, what did Li Cangwu say?"

Li Heshan shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Pei Yuwan's gaze turned slightly cold as she said, "Is this Li Cangwu so ungrateful?"

"The Yu Kingdom is stronger than the barbarians, but even if they defeat the barbarians, what then?"

"If my Qiyun Valley doesn't interfere, any expert at the Nascent Soul Realm from Hundred Beast Mountain could easily wipe out their royal family."

Li Heshan nodded and said, "If this battle really breaks out, it will be disadvantageous for my Qiyun Valley."

He spent a great deal of money to set up Ascension Pavilions throughout the Yu Kingdom and set up formations to test spiritual roots.

If the two sides were to go to war, with the Hundred Beasts Mountain behind the barbarians and Qiyun Valley not intervening, the Yu Kingdom would surely be defeated.

If the Kingdom of Yu changes hands, all these arrangements will be wasted.

"Senior brother, do you have a solution?"

Pei Yuwan asked curiously.

After thinking for a long time, Li Heshan nodded slightly: "There is a way we can try."

"Junior sister, you can stay at Yingxian Garden for the next few days. I'm going out for a bit."

……

Qishan, Danzhou.

Thousands of miles away from Qiyun Valley, in the deep mountains, a giant tiger with piercing eyes, nearly three zhang long, roared and galloped forward.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that a short, gray-robed old man is sitting on the tiger's back!
The old man was only about five feet tall, with a wrinkled face, messy hair, several cloth bags at his waist, and a huge gourd on his back.

The giant tiger moved incredibly fast, the tall trees on both sides rushing past, but the gray-robed old man sat cross-legged on the tiger's back, completely still.

"That's Lord He of Hundred Beasts Mountain!?"

"Why did he head towards the barrier of Yangnao Land?" "Could some great treasure have appeared in that desolate land of punishment, attracting a powerful expert at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm to go there personally?!"

"Never mind that for now, hurry up and send the message back to the sect. If there really is some great opportunity, we might miss out if we're even a little bit late!"

The Qishan Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles and are home to dozens of large and small immortal sects.

These immortal sects have a long history and are already in a chaotic state where they are intertwined with each other.

On ordinary days, people often have minor conflicts in order to compete for resources.

Because the spies that each immortal sect has planted in other immortal sects will closely monitor the movements of the experts in those sects.

Cultivators at the late stage of the embryonic breathing realm are considered powerful figures in the Qishan area, and their actions naturally attract close attention from others.

After receiving the secret report, Lord He Shan concealed his whereabouts as much as possible and rushed to Yangnao Land as quickly as possible.

Unexpectedly, they were discovered.

The Shen family of Heishuitan.

The Shen family members were all standing anxiously in the courtyard, waiting.

"Stone, stop walking around like that, it's alright."

Looking at Shen Wenxing pacing back and forth in front of her, Hu Yufen smiled and said, "The first pregnancy is always very slow."

"Lingxiu is in good health, she will be fine."

Shen Wenxing seemed not to hear her words and continued walking.

Hearing Huang Lingxiu's heart-wrenching cries coming from inside the house, he wished he could rush in immediately.

In the distance, Shen Yuan squatted quietly in front of the stone pillar, feeling somewhat anxious.

The feeling of being a grandfather for the first time is quite different from that of being a father for the first time.

"Wow!"

As everyone waited anxiously, a loud cry suddenly came from inside the house!
"gave birth!"

"Auntie!"

This cry made Shen Wenxing's body tremble instantly, and he shouted excitedly!
Hu Yufen breathed a slight sigh of relief and nodded with a smile: "Go ahead, go in and take a look."

Shen Wenxing rushed inside.

Inside the room, the elderly woman from the Sun family was cleaning the child from the dirt. When she saw him arrive, she smiled and said, "Congratulations, Shitou, mother and child are safe and sound. It's a boy."

Shen Wenxing clumsily took the child, so nervous that he didn't know how to hold him for a moment and could only support him with both hands.

On the bed, Huang Lingxiu was covered in sweat and her face was somewhat pale as she spoke:

"let me see……"

"Oh...okay!"

Shen Wenxing carefully placed the child next to his wife, squatted by the bed, and kept smiling foolishly at his wife and child.

As a martial artist at the Acquired Realm, Huang Lingxiu had just given birth, and her body was not as weak as that of a normal postpartum woman.

Looking at the little guy's wrinkled face and purplish-red skin, he even teased him:

"So ugly, whatever you want..."

“I think it’s pretty.”

Shen Wenxing chuckled and touched the little guy's cheek.

Are Father and Mother still outside?

"Go and tell your parents quickly, and also ask your father to name the child."

Huang Lingxiu held the child in her arms and spoke.

"Okay! Good!"

Shen Wenxing got up and went out to tell Shen Yuan and the other person the good news.

"Father, please name the child."

Shen Yuan nodded: "I've decided on a name. Let's call him Shen Chongming. In the future, the generational names of my Shen family will be arranged according to the following: 'Wen Chong De Hou, Ming Zhi Cheng An, Shang Xian Hong Yi, Jing Xing Wei Duan'."

“Your generation is all ‘Wen’ (文), and Chongming is the first person in my Shen family to have the character ‘Chong’ (崇) in his name.”

"Shen Chongming..." Shen Wenxing repeated it twice, thinking that the name was quite good.

"Don't just stand there. While it's still early, hurry up and go to Yunshui Town." Shen Yuan said, looking at the dumbfounded old man with his hands behind his back. "Also, write a letter to Wen An and let him know that our Shen family has a new member."

Shen Wenxing realized what was happening.

"Well... Father and Mother, I'll go now."

Looking at his son's flustered appearance, Shen Yuan couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

"You brat, you always seem so composed, but now that you're a father, you're completely lost..."

Hu Yufen glared at him with a smile and said, "You weren't even as good as a stone back then."

The couple both had smiles on their faces...
