My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 106 Invitation

"I wonder if Brother Chongshan has come here on some important matter?"

After some pleasantries and small talk,
Shen Changchuan didn't waste any words and asked directly.

These people look like they have something to discuss.

Everyone knows they didn't come here to visit for no reason.

Fortunately, everyone is young.

Shen Changchuan decided not to beat around the bush any longer and went straight to the point.

"Have you heard the rumors about this place, Young Master Changchuan?"

Shen Chongshan did not answer directly, but instead asked a question.

"Brother Chongshan, are you referring to the Wu family possibly possessing a secret realm that produces Biyuan Water Grass? I have certainly heard of this. Speaking of which, the chaos in this desolate land recently is all due to that rumor."

"Indeed, that's why we've come!"

Shen Chongshan nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he continued:

"Actually, this is not our first time here. We came here once several months ago and stayed at Wujiaji."

"The reason we came here was because we heard that traces of Biyuan waterweed had appeared here twenty or thirty years ago."

"Our purpose at the time was precisely for those Biyuan water plants."

"Although the last trip wasted several months in this desolate place and yielded nothing, we were fortunate enough to discover some clues."

"Regarding the rumors about the Wu family, we can assure you that they are not unfounded!"

"I have taken the liberty of visiting you to invite Young Master Changchuan to join me in the treasure hunt in the mountains."

"If we can find even a trace of that Azure Origin Waterweed, even if we don't take off immediately, the harvest will definitely be greater than what we could gain by cultivating a few acres of spiritual fields in a mountain village!"

Shen Chongshan spoke loudly.

Between words,
It's tempting.

Shen Changchuan, who was making the handicrafts, frowned slightly, as if he was thinking.

They then continued to increase their bets:

"To be honest, I have some connections with an uncle in my clan who is at the Nascent Soul stage. He also attaches great importance to this matter. He was also present when Wujiaji was attacked last time."

"It's just that due to important matters, that uncle couldn't stay here for long and had to leave temporarily."

"But before he left, he told me that if I could find any news about the Azure Waterweed, he would reward me handsomely!"

"This time, we don't need to pinpoint the location of the secret realm controlled by the Wu family. Perhaps all we need is some clues to obtain tremendous benefits from that clan uncle!"

"We don't even need to expend too much effort to search for it."

"After all, with a large influx of cultivators from the outside world, this desolate mountain forest will probably be turned upside down. Even if the Wu family hides the secret realm deep, it will certainly not be able to withstand the search by everyone."

"If any clues emerge, we will collect them and pass them on to that clan uncle. We will gain the friendship of a senior clan member at the Nascent Soul stage and receive a reward. What a wonderful thing!"

At this point, Shen Zhongshan was already filled with confidence.

Such a simple effort yields an extremely generous reward.

He didn't think the other party would have a reason to refuse.

to be frank,
If it weren't for the fact that I was trapped in a cave for over a month during the rainy season's leech infestation last time I came,

They needed to realize that it was best to have a local guide to assist them in this remote area.

Furthermore, Wujiaji was attacked and remains closed to outsiders. They were unfamiliar with the area and had no trusted guides to help them.

They wouldn't bother coming to this Dawancun village.

Let's bring this person along and enjoy the benefits!
After all, he was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, weak and powerless, and would only be a burden if he went into the mountains.

Moreover, as a descendant of the family head...
But to be kicked into such a godforsaken corner must have a lot of inside stories, and it may even involve a power struggle among the family's higher-ups.

Once you get infected, it will be a big problem.

If you're not careful, mud might fall into your crotch, and you won't be able to explain yourself.

Shen Zhongshan was initially reluctant to involve the other party in the operation, but he had no choice.

"We are unfamiliar with this place, and given the chaotic background, it is ultimately more trustworthy to trust our own people. For the sake of Senior Shen Tingchu, it is worth taking a risk."

"And this might be a good thing."

"Although this person is weak, he is still a descendant of the family head. With him around, we don't have to worry about that senior going back on his word. He might even leave a more lasting impression."

As Shen Chongshan spoke,
Many thoughts flashed through my mind.

I've already thought it through.
How can we leverage Shen Changchuan's identity to gain more benefits?

I felt like I had everything under control.

"Such a great opportunity was placed in front of him, yet he refused it because he was afraid of danger. He even vomited up food that God was feeding him. What kind of patriarch and illegitimate son is he? He is utterly useless!"

"No wonder the bloodline of the dignified patriarch was ultimately banished to this godforsaken corner. He deserved it!"

“Brother Chongshan, I think that coward is probably afraid of the infighting in the Shen family compound, so he's hiding here like a rat!”

"Hmph, a son born of a maid is a son born of a maid; a good-for-nothing who will never amount to anything!"

An hour later,

On the road outside Dawan Village.

The group angrily made their way through the woods.

these people,
Not long ago,

Shen Chongshan and his group went to invite Shen Changchuan to join them.

Judging from the anger on their faces,

Clearly, the negotiations did not yield a good result.

in the team,
Shen Rongguang cursed loudly without any restraint.
It was as if he wanted to vent all the anger he had accumulated over this period of time.

Shen Zhongshan, who was always the eldest brother among them and never showed his emotions,
At this moment, their expressions were extremely unpleasant.

He originally thought,

Shen Changchuan, a mere illegitimate son of the family head, was exiled here and was considered dispensable, relying entirely on himself to earn his own cultivation resources.

If an opportunity to make a fortune is presented to him, he will certainly not give it up.

But who knew?

That kid actually refused, citing danger as the reason!
Shen Rongguang is right.
That's a coward, even more timid than a rat!
"never mind."

"Since they are unwilling, we don't need to force them; it's not us who will suffer the loss."

Shen Chongshan's temperament has become much more stable after all.

This stopped Shen Rongguang from cursing.

He glanced back at the receding Dawancun village, his eyes revealing a hint of contempt.

"The path to immortality is one of fierce competition. Throughout history, those who have achieved something in the path of immortality have all been fearless and courageous individuals who are not afraid of death. They are not people who are greedy for life and afraid of death."

"Those who are content with comfort are nothing more than pigs and dogs fattened in their graves."

"Let's leave him be for now and come back in a few years to see what he does."

Those who are timid and hesitant are unlikely to achieve great things.

Several years later,

He might have already reached the ninth level of Qi Induction and had a chance to leave his body.

At that time,
It is probably already a stroke of luck that he was able to advance to the fifth level of Qi Refining!
Then we can laugh at it.

Upon hearing this, Shen Rongguang

The anger on his face had also subsided considerably.

Take it seriously.
