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

Chapter 236 Shield

Outside Tiannan City,

A secluded manor.

"That Shen Changchuan? Is he my son?"

When they learned that the widely circulated news had reached this place...

At this moment, Shen Fuxing, the patriarch of the Shen family, who was lying on the purple bamboo rocking chair with a prosperous face, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

It wasn't that I was surprised that the previously unremarkable Shen Changchuan had accomplished such a great feat.
But because,

He had a son named Shen Changchuan, who was incredibly powerful!
Yes,

He had absolutely no recollection of Shen Changchuan's existence!
He doesn't even remember that he has a son named Shen Changchuan!

This is not surprising.
After all, of his sixty or seventy children, apart from the ten or so who were more important and had better aptitude, the rest were merely dispensable in his memory.

Shen Fuxing tried hard to recall,
In previous years, the whole family would gather together for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Who is Shen Changchuan?
But soon,
He just gave up.

For those common concubines who gave birth to illegitimate sons and daughters,

He never took them seriously.

The name Shen Changchuan was probably not even chosen by himself.

It's normal not to have any recollection of it.

quickly,

Shen Fuxing then turned his attention back to the matter at hand.

“That bitch has been pressing me harder lately, and not long ago she almost caused my son Yiyun to be exposed.”

“That woman is vicious, but she’s definitely not stupid. I’m afraid she’ll intensify her search for clues about my son, Yiyun. That won’t do.”

"Now that Shen Chong has disappeared without a trace, that poisonous woman has been given some free time. It just so happens that Shen Changchuan has been exposed. It's truly heaven's help! He can be a shield for my son Yiyun!"

"With that kid Shen Changchuan keeping her company for a while, hopefully he can distract her."

Right now,

This man, who in many people's eyes should have been a cowardly good-for-nothing henpecked by his wife,
On that plump face, his narrowed eyes gleamed with an incredibly shrewd light.

"Uncle Shao!"

Shen Fuxing suddenly spoke up.

An elderly man with gray hair, who looked like a steward, appeared before him.

"What are your orders, sir?"

"It would be best to use some underhanded methods to reveal Shen Changchuan's matter to the First Madam, to fan the flames and draw her attention to Shen Changchuan. You know what I mean, just like with Shen Chong."

"Oh, Master! Shen Changchuan, at the Qi Refining stage, was able to defeat and kill a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. He is definitely a prodigy among the younger generation of the Shen family! With the First Madam's temperament, once she finds out, the outcome will likely be dire! Why do you say this?"

"Isn't this perfect? ​​This way, we can attract more of the Madam's attention, preventing her from having so much energy to run around. It would be best if that kid really had the abilities rumored to be true, and could buy us some more time."

Shen Fuxing paid no attention to Uncle Shao's worries.

They even hoped that Shen Changchuan could delay for a while longer.

This made the old man called Uncle Shao open his mouth in surprise.

I just find it a bit hard to understand.

You must know that this was a Qi Refining Realm cultivator reversing the tide and killing a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!

If any family or lineage produced such a genius, they would probably want to worship him!
What's going on, sir?
Using one's own exceptionally talented offspring as a shield?

"Although Shen Changchuan is not bad, he was able to kill a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator only because of the power of the Mingding Bell."

“I know the Mingding Bell very well. It is an extremely precious treasure. It is not impossible for someone wielding it to kill a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, let alone a wounded Nascent Soul cultivator, according to rumors?”

"So although Shen Changchuan has some talent and ability, he's nothing special. There's no need to take him too seriously."

"In comparison, my son Yiyun is a born spiritual body, a future seed of the Xuan Dan! It is his honor to be able to cover for my son Yiyun. At worst, we can make it up to him later when he grows up."

Shen Fuxing seemed to have seen through Uncle Shao's thoughts.
He casually offered a few explanations.

"Oh, right, I remember the Mingding Bell was originally in that woman's hands, but now it's ended up in Shen Changchuan's. Uncle Shao, perhaps you could use this to draw that woman's attention away from us?" Uncle Shao, upon hearing this,

Although I still find it somewhat incomprehensible.

However, I reluctantly accepted it.

Too,

Compared to a naturally born spiritual body, the future Xuan Dan seed, the Qi-inducing and reversing transformation to the Nascent Soul stage, does indeed seem rather unworthy of mention.

"Okay, sir."

Uncle Shao bowed his head and bowed, offering no further rebuttal.

Having served the person before me for many years,

He knew that the other party's decision was not so easy to change, especially under the current circumstances where it was "reasonable and well-founded".

Uncle Shao took his leave.

When he reached the door,

"Daddy! I want to ride a big horse! I want to ride a big horse!"

A crisp sound rang out behind me.

An eight- or nine-year-old boy, as beautiful as a porcelain doll, skipped and hopped out from behind the house.

"Oh dear, my little darling, be careful not to fall. Alright, alright, riding a big horse, little Yiyun is riding a big horse now!"

Sunlight streamed in from outside, as if draping the courtyard in a fine veil.

The entire courtyard,

For a moment, the air was filled with the warmth of fatherly love and filial piety.

For some reason, as he was walking out the door and hearing the voices behind him, Uncle Shao had a vague premonition.

future,

The old man might regret it.
Shen Changchuan was unaware of the commotion and disturbances outside.

At this time, he

After killing Xu Ziming, he was left with some injuries and had to go into seclusion to recover for half a day.

At the same time,

Perhaps it was because their potential was greatly squeezed out under the immense life-or-death crisis.

After the battle, Shen Changchuan had a vague feeling that as long as he refined enough spirit stones, elixirs and other things to replenish his spiritual energy, he would be able to enter the peak of the ninth level naturally!

However, Shen Changchuan was not in a hurry to go into seclusion and cultivate on the spot.

Reality doesn't allow him to do that.

Under his orders,
Grandpa Han Qinhu was already packing his things and preparing to leave in an orderly manner, according to the plan he had made long ago.

"Grandpa, I'm so sorry, because of what happened to me, you may have to live a life of wandering for a while."

Shen Changchuan approached the busy Han Qinhu and said apologetically.

What is certain is that

As the news spreads, the First Madam's targeting is inevitable.

Shen Changchuan was already planning to leave incognito for the time being.

His maternal grandfather Han Qinhu and maternal uncle Han Dayong, as his relatives, naturally could not stay in Dawancun.

"Hey, why are you saying this? If it weren't for you, where would I, Han Qinhu, have gotten the chance to become a cultivator and witness the splendor of the immortal path?"

"As the saying goes, 'If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening.' I've spent most of my life wandering this world, and I thought I was going to be buried in my coffin like this. Who would have thought that at the end, I could still fulfill my dream with my grandson? What is this about wandering and hardship? When I was young, I, Han Qinhu, roamed the world and even slept on the streets. What is this?"

Han Qinhu's voice was cheerful.

They didn't care about this at all, and instead comforted and reassured Shen Changchuan.
