Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 84 The Dragon Tamer's Residence

Upon returning from Shengxian Pavilion, Shen Wenxing saw his father sitting alone in the moonlight as soon as he entered the courtyard.

"Daddy?"

Why aren't you asleep yet?

He sat down beside her. "Did you have a fight with your mother?"

Shen Yuan shook his head slightly, glanced at him with a faint smile, and took out a cloth bag from his pocket.

"This is what Xu Xiu gave to Father when he left."

"Look at it."

Shen Wenxing took the bag and opened it with a puzzled look, taking out a map drawn on the hide of an unknown animal.

"What is this?"

"This place is... Blackwater Pool?"

By the light of the moon, Shen Wenxing noticed three tiny characters written next to a small pond in the corner of the map: "Black Pond".

Shen Yuan nodded slightly: "Xu Xiu said it's a map of an ancient ruin."

"Father checked, it should be in Hidden Dragon Mountain behind here."

Relics in Hidden Dragon Mountain?
Shen Wenxing pondered for a moment and said:

"Did the senior describe what kind of ruins this is?"

"Is there any danger in there?"

Shen Yuan shook his head slightly; Xu Xiu hadn't mentioned any of this.

However, he had already taken most of the items from the outer perimeter of the ruins, which meant that as long as he didn't go too deep, there shouldn't be much danger.

"Father plans to visit the ruins in the next few days. If there's nothing else at the Ascension Pavilion, you can stay home for now."

This black pool also holds a great secret. The entire Shen family is here, and one of the father and son must stay at home to oversee things.

Shen Wenxing nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Isn't this a bit too hasty? Should we wait a little longer?"

Li Heshan said that Xu Xiu's cultivation level was already at the seventh level of Qi Refining, so some dangers might not be a problem for him, but his father, Shen Yuan, was only at the first level of Qi Refining, and going there rashly might lead to danger.

"There's no time..."

Shen Yuan slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and sighed, "The immortals from the Immortal Sect are coming soon. If we don't go and check on them soon, the ruins will be discovered by the immortals, and then there will be no chance for us."

Shen Wenxing didn't speak; he understood that his father's concerns were valid.

Since there were no immortals in the past, they can slowly excavate these ruins.

But now that the immortals from the major immortal sects are about to descend, if we don't hurry, it's really hard to say who will ultimately get the ruins.

"But……"

"Don't worry, Dad knows what he's doing."

Shen Yuan turned around and smiled at him, "It's getting late, go back and rest."

Suppressing his worries, Shen Wenxing stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and walked towards his room.

Watching his son's retreating figure, Shen Yuan sighed and sank his consciousness into his sea of ​​consciousness, waiting for the new divination results to be updated.

The reason he said he would wait a few days before exploring the ruins was to see if the white jade tortoise shell would generate any hexagrams related to the ruins in the next few days.

I use this divination to predict good or bad fortune, so I can have some idea of ​​what's going on in my mind.

Midnight arrived quickly, and two lines of text slowly appeared on the white jade tortoise shell.

[The divination result has been updated!]

[Today's Divination - Auspicious]: Family member Shen Wenyan is undergoing a transformation and is expected to become a pioneer.

Upon seeing the updated divination result, Shen Yuan suddenly stood up from the stone bench!
Although the divination result was not related to the ruins, it brought him a great surprise!
"Anu?"

He muttered something to himself and looked toward the backyard where Shen Wenyan lived.

Nearly three years have passed since the third debate in court. For the past three years, his son has been confined to the house, causing his wife a lot of worry, fearing that their son would be ruined.

Now that the divination had suddenly given such a hint, Shen Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Transformation... Pioneer...

It seems I'll have to go see him tomorrow.

Having made up his mind, Shen Yuan still sighed with some disappointment.

He had already decided to go to the ruins, but the divination did not give any specific instructions, which meant that the white jade tortoise shell was not what he had previously thought.

Unable to fully control the white jade tortoise shell, he often felt somewhat constrained in his actions. But…

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Shen Yuan, and he immediately immersed his consciousness into his sea of ​​consciousness.

[Deducing information related to the ruins requires 1,717 years of lifespan.]

[Lifespan is insufficient to predict further.]

More than 1,700 years!?

Looking at the numbers on the white jade tortoise shell, Shen Yuan felt somewhat bewildered!
What incredible secret does this ruin hold that requires more than 1,700 years of lifespan to predict good or bad fortune?

Based on his understanding of the white jade tortoise shell, the greater the price, the higher the level involved; and the higher the level, the greater the potential reward.

However, high gains are often accompanied by high risks.

To be on the safe side, I must not go to the ruins before I have a definitive divination result!

wait.

With a sigh, Shen Yuan returned to his room to find Hu Yufen already fast asleep.

The next morning, in the backyard wing room.

When Shen Yuan arrived, Shen Wenyan was practicing calligraphy with great concentration.

He approached with his hands behind his back, craned his neck to look at the two characters "Wenxin" on the paper, and praised them with a smile:
"Not bad, you're becoming more and more like a master."

Upon hearing the voice, Shen Wenyan quickly put down his pen, turned around, and bowed, saying, "Father?"

Shen Yuan nodded, then sat down at the coffee table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Come and sit."

Shen Wenyan respectfully sat down in front of him and asked, "Father, is there something you need from me?"

After being confined to his home, his father rarely came to visit him.

"Come and see you."

Shen Yuan raised his head and used the weak divine sense of a Qi Refining cultivator to examine his son in front of him, wanting to see what the divination meant.

However, his divine sense did not detect anything unusual. But when he looked into Shen Wenyan's eyes, he was surprised to find that his eyes were unusually bright and clear, like a deep pool.

"Daddy?"

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Shen Wenyan couldn't help but call out.

Shen Yuan smiled slightly: "Your mother will finish cooking soon. Go directly there later. Don't let Wenping come to call you again."

After saying this, he got up and walked out of the room.

The eyes are the windows to the soul. If one's own son's eyes are bright and clear, it means that there is nothing wrong with his heart.

As for the "transformation" shown by the white jade tortoise shell, let's wait and see.

Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that his father had not mentioned going to the ruins, Shen Wenxing thought he had given up and planned to tell him the next day that it was time to go back to the Ascension Pavilion.

Yesterday, Gongyanghe sent a secret letter from Yingxianyuan. In the letter, Li Heshan stated that other immortal sects had arrived one after another and were in contact with the current Emperor Yu and some aristocratic families.

If this trend continues, it won't be long before one after another aristocratic families or forces supported by the immortal sects emerges.

Whether it's the Ascension Pavilion or the Shen family, they both need to make preparations in advance.

It's midnight again.

Shen Yuan estimated that the time was almost up, so he immediately sank his consciousness into his sea of ​​consciousness.

A faint fluorescent light flashed across the white jade tortoise shell, and the characters on it slowly changed.

[The divination result has been updated!]

[Purple Star Divination - Great Fortune]: You plan to visit the Dragon Tamer's residence and will reap great rewards!
As the hexagram appeared in his mind's eye, the white jade tortoise shell suddenly emitted a dazzling purple light!

The purple light was so intense that it illuminated his entire sea of ​​consciousness!
Faced with this sudden and strange phenomenon, Shen Yuan was somewhat taken aback and at a loss for what to do.

Under his gaze, the dazzling purple light slowly contracted and dissipated, eventually forming a three-inch purple sword that hovered on the white jade tortoise shell.

"hold head high!"

The moment the purple sword was formed, a faint dragon's roar echoed in his mind.

Although the dragon's roar didn't have a particularly imposing aura, it still caused Shen Yuan's consciousness to momentarily daze.

By the time he came to his senses, the small sword had vanished, leaving only a faint purple mark on the white jade tortoise shell.
