Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 92 Wei Qiuling (310)
Shen Wenxing felt a chill in his heart; the new master of Yunzhong County had finally come knocking on his door.

"Please have a seat, fairies."

He had already discussed a plan with his father a few days ago.

Regardless of which immortal sect ultimately falls into the hands of Yunzhong County, they must first find a way to negotiate. If they are fortunate enough to gain the other party's approval and protect their home in Blackwater Pool, that would be the best outcome.

If the other party is truly unwilling, then they will have no choice but to accept Li Heshan's suggestion and move to Fengxian County.

After all, the Blackwater Pool and the spiritual seeds and fruits are just external things.

The most important thing is to protect my family.

The two female cultivators from Luoxia Mountain nodded and sat down. Shen Wenxing had the best tea brewed and served to them.

"My two fairies, is there any instruction from Mount Luoxia?"

He asked cautiously.

The two female cultivators exchanged a glance. The tall girl in the light blue dress put down her teacup and said with a faint smile, "I've heard that you have a good relationship with Senior Brother Heshan from Qiyun Valley?"

Shen Wenxing did not answer immediately.

He noticed that when the woman mentioned Li Heshan, she did not call him by his name directly, but referred to him as "Brother Heshan".

Judging from this, the relationship between Luoxia Mountain and Qiyun Valley doesn't seem to be too bad.

"Reporting to the fairy..."

"My name is Wei Qiuling, and this is my junior sister, Yu Jin."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing immediately changed his tune: "Replying to Fairy Wei, I do indeed have some connection with Immortal Li, and I am grateful for Immortal Li's continued care."

Wei Qiuling nodded and asked again, "Is your younger brother now a disciple of Qiyun Valley?"

Shen Wenxing cupped his hands in greeting: "My younger brother Wen'an is currently studying under Abbot Pei of Qiyun Valley."

"It's Headmaster Pei of Hidden Cloud Academy!?"

Wei Qiuling was somewhat surprised, and the incident that had been circulating in Danzhou a few days ago instantly came to mind.

Yu Jin, standing beside her, had an even more exaggerated expression. She hurriedly put down her teacup and excitedly leaned close to Wei Qiuling, saying, "Senior Sister! Senior Sister! Could his younger brother be that little guy who drew his sword against Sword Immortal Ling Shan?!"

Wei Qiuling didn't speak, but gently scraped the teacup.

"Sister..."

Yu Jin seemed to be an impatient person. She gently touched Wei Qiuling's arm and gestured towards Shen Wenxing with her lips.

Wei Qiuling sighed and said, "To be honest, Luoxia Mountain and Qiyun Valley are close friends, but Yangnao is a very important place, and we disciples of the Immortal Sect simply cannot spare the manpower to manage it."

"The purpose of this visit is to select a capable force to manage the area on behalf of the government."

"Is Brother Shen interested?"

Meeting Wei Qiuling's gaze, Shen Wenxing was somewhat incredulous.

Knowing that Wei Qiuling was related to Li Heshan and that her younger brother was a disciple of Qiyun Valley, why would she think of having her manage Yunzhong County on her behalf?

After much deliberation, Shen Wenxing smiled awkwardly and cupped his hands, saying, "I am honored by your favor, Fairy Wei. I am humbled."

"However... I dare not agree to this."

Wei Qiuling asked in surprise, "Why?"

In her view, Shen Wenxing was originally from Yunzhong County, and he should gladly accept the great power that Luoxia Mountain was giving him.

After all, by agreeing to this matter, the Shen family would have access to the entire Yunzhong County and could also establish a connection with Luoxia Mountain.

The powerful families and forces in other counties are already fighting tooth and nail to catch the eye of the Immortal Sect.

Shen Wenxing cupped his hands and said, "To be honest, Immortal Li has been very kind to me and the Shen family, and my younger brother is also favored by Abbot Pei in Qiyun Valley."

"As the fairy said, although Qiyun Valley and Luoxia Mountain are closely related, ever since Wen An joined Qiyun Valley and I became the steward of the Qiyun Valley Ascension Pavilion, the Shen family has been marked by Qiyun Valley."

Wei Qiuling nodded: "Anything else?"

Shen Wenxing continued, "If the Shen family agrees to this matter, it will be seen as having two masters for Qiyun Valley, and it will also create resentment for Luoxia Mountain."

“In that case, I’ll please neither side, and I…” Shen Wenxing looked at her with a wry smile. Wei Qiuling pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, saying, “Brother Shen has certainly considered everything carefully.”

The two had met Li Heshan on their way here and learned that Qiyun Valley had chosen Fengxian County.

It was Li Heshan who recommended that I come to Anyang County to find Shen Wenxing.

Initially, Wei Qiuling hadn't considered choosing the Shen family as her proxy. It was only after learning that the young man who drew his sword in front of the Ling Shan Sword Immortal in Qishan Market was actually from the Shen family that she had this idea.

After all, once the news of Qishan Market spread, there were many speculations in Danzhou.

Some say that the Sword Immortal Ling Shan was drawn to Shen Wen'an's talent in sword cultivation.

Some say that Shen Wen'an was an old friend and descendant of Ling Shan Sword Immortal.

All these speculations undoubtedly point to one thing: Shen Wen'an, a disciple of Qiyun Valley, has become involved with the Sword Immortal Lingshan.

Qingluo Sword Pavilion is a major sect in Danzhou, and Lingshan Sword Immortal is the youngest sword immortal in Qingluo Sword Pavilion, known as a sword prodigy who appears only once in a thousand years.

The fact that Shen Wen'an could establish a relationship with her was enough to make the immortal sects in the Qishan Mountains want to befriend her.

Although Wei Qiuling understood the relationship between the Shen family and Qiyun Valley, she still wanted to do them a favor this time.

I just didn't expect Shen Wenxing to be so upright.

“Qiyun Valley has truly struck gold.” Wei Qiuling smiled faintly and stood up, saying, “In that case, my junior sister and I will have to find another place.”

Shen Wenxing also stood up, pondered for a moment, and cupped his hands, saying, "Fairy Wei, please wait. I... I have a request to make."

Wei Qiuling looked at him curiously: "Brother Shen, please speak."

Shen Wenxing said somewhat awkwardly, "In the next generation, we will live in Jinliu Village. This time, Immortal Li intends for my Shen family to move to Fengxian County, but we are reluctant to leave our homeland..."

Wei Qiuling understood his meaning and said with a faint smile, "This matter is simple. I can make the decision on behalf of my sect and give Jinliu Village to Brother Shen."

"Even if a family or force is chosen to act as an agent in the future, it will never interfere with the affairs of Jinliu Village."

"But Brother Shen also has to promise Qiu Ling one thing."

Shen Wenxing quickly cupped his hands and said, "Please speak, Fairy Wei."

Wei Qiuling thought for a moment and said, "If the Shen family has any descendants with spiritual roots in the future, how about giving priority to Luoxia Mountain?"

Her idea is simple.

Shen Wen'an has already joined Qiyun Valley, so Luoxia Mountain cannot forcibly take him away.

However, other members of the Shen family can make reservations in advance.

Regardless of the exact relationship between Shen Wen'an and the Ling Shan Sword Immortal, as long as he remains a member of the Shen family, it's perfectly fine for Luoxia Mountain and the Shen family to maintain a good relationship.

Shen Wenxing thought for a moment, and seeing no problem with it, he smiled and nodded: "Of course."

Wei Qiuling nodded, and then took out a jade pendant from her bosom.

"This is a token of my Luoxia Mountain. Brother Shen, please accept it. If anyone comes to cause trouble in the future, just take it out."

Upon seeing this, Shen Wenxing was overjoyed and respectfully accepted the jade pendant.

"Thank you, Fairy Wei."

Wei Qiuling nodded slightly, then cupped her hands and left.

Outside the Ascension Pavilion, Yu Jin looked back at Shen Wenxing standing at the door, then turned to Wei Qiuling and said, "Senior Sister, will Qiyun Valley be angry if they find out what we're doing?"

Wei Qiuling said calmly, "Cultivation is inherently about defying the heavens and contending for the Great Dao. It's all about 'competing' – competing with heaven and earth, competing with people."

“If we didn’t consider the friendship between our two sects, Senior Sister would have done much more than this.”

"Besides..." Wei Qiuling glanced back at the Ascension Pavilion behind her and murmured, "When Qiyun Valley gained benefits in Yangnao Land, it didn't expect that we, Luoxia Mountain, would suffer the same fate."

"Let's go."

The two walked slowly forward, heading into the distance.
