Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 94 Another Pregnancy (510)
The consecutive days of neutral hexagrams made Shen Yuan feel that the current situation should be considered to have stabilized.

During this time, in his spare time from cultivation, he studied the two teachings translated by Shen Wenyan.

As Shen Wenyan said, these two methods are quite profound.

Since Anu had no experience with spiritual practices, he dared not misinterpret any of the words in the text and could only translate them verbatim.

After studying for a long time, Shen Yuan finally found a breakthrough in the "Cloud Dragon Technique".

According to the book, the "Cloud Dragon Technique" allows one to manipulate the clouds and mist with one's own spiritual power from the very beginning, which is very effective for both attacking and confusing enemies.

After reaching a certain level of mastery, one can even solidify the clouds and unleash tremendous power.

Upon reaching the highest level, if one possesses sufficient spiritual energy, one can condense the cloud energy beneath one's feet, just like a true immortal in mythology, and briefly ride the clouds.

However, this kind of cloud-riding flight is unlikely to last long, because the book describes that to reach the state of transforming clouds into dragons and traveling thousands of miles in an instant, one not only needs to cultivate this technique to perfection, but also needs extremely high cultivation.

He didn't even dare to hope that he could cultivate this technique to such a level.

I plan to take it one step at a time.

As for the "Azure Dragon Force," he has already given it to his eldest brother, Shen Wenxing. It's unknown how well he has been comprehending it these days.

It was late at night again.

Just after midnight, Shen Yuan habitually glanced at the white jade tortoise shell in his sea of ​​consciousness.

[The divination result has been updated!]

[Today's Divination - Auspicious]: The family will be blessed with a new member, and all things will be peaceful and healthy.

A new addition to the family?

Looking at the characters on the white jade tortoise shell, Shen Yuan was somewhat astonished, and then shook Hu Yufen, who was already asleep, awake.

"What to do?"

Hu Yufen woke up groggily and asked.

Have you noticed anything unusual lately?

Hu Yufen pondered for a moment, her curiosity piqued, and slowly turned around, saying, "Nothing's wrong, what's wrong?"

Shen Yuan glanced at her lower abdomen and said, "You don't feel any morning sickness?"

Hu Yufen was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said, "It's the middle of the night, if you want it, just say so..."

Before Shen Yuan could explain further, a pair of jade-like arms reached out.

……

Early the next morning.

Shen Yuan got up to cultivate, and Hu Yufen also got up to prepare breakfast for the family.

But then they saw Shen Wenxing helping Huang Lingxiu out of the east wing.

“Mother, I’m taking Lingxiu to Grandpa Sun’s house.”

Hu Yufen came out of the kitchen, looking worried, and asked, "What's wrong with Lingxiu?"

Huang Lingxiu's face was a little pale. She forced a smile and shook her head: "Mother, I'm fine. Shi Tou... he's worried."

"He vomited several times during the night, and still said he was fine," Shen Wenxing said with a hint of reproach.

Hu Yufen came over, pushed her son aside, looked at her daughter-in-law for a moment, and whispered with surprise, "She's pregnant?"

Huang Lingxiu smiled shyly and nodded, saying, "It should be..."

"It feels the same as when I was pregnant with Chongming last time."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yufen was overjoyed.

"Stone, bring your Grandpa Sun here in a carriage."

Hu Yufen rubbed her hands together and began to speak.

Shen Wenxing was taken aback for a moment, but without thinking much of it, he agreed and left.

Inside the room, Sun Fuchun smiled and withdrew his hand, then turned to Hu Yufen and Shen Wenxing and said, "Congratulations, it's a happy pulse."

Upon hearing the confirmation, Shen Wenxing was overjoyed, while Hu Yufen wore a smile.

"Uncle Sun, thank you for your trouble."

"Stone, take your Grandpa Sun back."

Following Sun Fuchun into the courtyard, Shen Wenxing helped him walk out of the courtyard, while Hu Yufen went to the martial arts training ground in the side courtyard and found Shen Yuan practicing.

"Dad, Lingxiu is pregnant."

Shen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, but there was not much joy on his face.

After the divination result came out last night, he initially thought it meant his wife was pregnant, but then he realized it must be his eldest son.

After all, since breaking through to the Qi Refining stage, he has been able to control his essence from leaking out.

"Good thing."

"Tell Lingxiu to take good care of herself during this time."

He had guessed it beforehand, but since his wife had come all the way to share her joy, he naturally had to give her some kind of response.

This is called providing emotional value.

Hu Yufen responded and left.

Shen Yuan had no interest in cultivating. He slowly stood up and looked towards the backyard.

After breakfast, he followed Hu Yufen to clear away the dishes and went to the kitchen.

"Mother, Anu is about to come of age."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yufen paused slightly in her movements, and when she turned around, her expression was somewhat somber.

A man reaches adulthood at twenty; when Shi Tou was his age, he was already married to Huang Lingxiu. Now, he's almost a father of two.

But the second child still hasn't...

"Go back and ask Shuan's wife. She often works at the cloth shop in town and knows a lot of people there."

"Please ask him to keep an eye out for suitable girls."

Hu Yufen couldn't help but glare at him and said, "A couple of years ago, whenever I brought up this matter, you always calmly said 'no rush, no rush!'"

"What, are you getting anxious now?"

Shen Yuan smiled bitterly.

At that time, he genuinely felt that Anu was still young and had a rather impulsive personality, so he could wait a little longer.

But now, times have changed.

With the arrival of the Immortal Sect, the royal family and government are now merely nominal entities, and the future will inevitably be a world where the strong prey on the weak.

The fact that his eldest son's family was pregnant again reminded him of the "Nine-Rank Family".

"Okay, I'll go check it out when I'm done with this."

Seeing her husband's embarrassed look, Hu Yufen spoke softly.

Jinliu Village.

In Zhao Shuan's courtyard, Wang Ying and her daughter Zhao Xuan were doing embroidery.

Upon seeing Hu Yufen arrive, he quickly got up to greet her.

After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Ying looked at Hu Yufen with some envy; time seemed to have left few traces on her fair face.

"Yufen, I've suddenly realized that after all these years, you still look so young?"

She is only four years older than Hu Yufen and is now over forty.

She thought she had maintained her appearance fairly well, but compared to Hu Yufen, she looked much older.

Women of any era are the same; they care a great deal about their appearance.

"Have it?"

Hu Yufen smiled slightly.

She knew that the reason her appearance hadn't changed much was partly because her cultivation level had broken through to the Acquired Realm.

On the other hand, it's also because the family's life has improved in recent years, and she no longer needs to participate in farm work that involves being exposed to the wind and sun.

In addition, there was the nourishment from the spiritual energy of the Blackwater Pool and the occasional elixirs he consumed.

“If Aunt Yufen stood next to me, people who didn’t know us would think we were sisters,” Zhao Xuan, who was wearing a floral short-sleeved shirt and had her hair in a bun, said with a smile.

"You brat, you have no manners!"

Wang Ying laughed and tossed a piece of embroidered cloth over.

Zhao Xuan laughed and dodged away.

"Sister-in-law, I've come here this time because I need to trouble you with something," Hu Yufen said after the laughter and banter.

Wang Ying also stopped what she was doing and said, "Go ahead."

Hu Yufen sighed softly and said, "It's a matter concerning our Anu."

"He'll be of legal age next year, but until now..."

Wang Ying was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "I remember you mentioned it to me last year. You said there was no rush, and I thought Anu had found a girl he liked."

Hu Yufen gave an awkward smile, naturally unable to say in front of outsiders that it was her husband's fault.

Wang Ying didn't press the matter further, but continued embroidering while pondering.

"Now that you mention it, it's really hard to find."

"What's so hard to find?" Just then, the courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open, and Zhao Shuan, who was middle-aged, walked in carrying a hoe.

Upon seeing Hu Yufen, he greeted her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you're here."

Hu Yufen smiled slightly: "Brother Shuan."

Zhao Shuan put down his hoe: "What does your sister-in-law need? Don't just stand there, go find it for her right away."

Wang Ying rolled her eyes at him and said, "You don't know anything, yet you're making such a fuss!"

"Yu Fen wants to find a wife for Anu. Can this be rushed?"

Zhao Shuan paused for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head: "I thought my sister-in-law came to borrow something..."

"So it was for Anu... Eh!"

"Sister-in-law, what do you think of our Xuanxuan?"

Zhao Shuan suddenly leaned forward and said with a smile, "These two kids grew up together since they were little, absolutely..."

"Go!"

"You'd better go feed the cows!"

Before her man could finish speaking, Wang Ying stood up with a stern face and pushed him out.

"Yufen, your brother Shuan was just joking."

Sitting back down on the bench, Wang Ying quickly smiled and spoke.

If it were before, she really would have thought that way.

But now, she is self-aware. The Shen family is a noble family bestowed by the emperor, and Anu is a disciple of a great Confucian scholar. Her own daughter is not good enough for them.

Given the decades-long friendship between the two families, wouldn't saying this put Hu Yufen in a difficult position?
