Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 205: Chapter 176: Shen Li

Shen Family Manor.

Wei Qiuling returned from Yunzhong County City, naturally bringing the news of Seven Sages Mountain to the Shen Family.

”Elder Brother, if what this loose cultivator said is true, the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm must be a true Immortal Dao cultivator’s residence.”

”Shen Family must not miss this opportunity.”

Within the side room, Shen Wenxing and his son sat opposite Wei Qiuling.

”A true Immortal Dao cultivator’s residence...” Shen Wenxing stroked the beard under his chin, somewhat hesitant.

The current foundation of the Shen Family is indeed too weak, and he also wanted to send someone to try their luck at Seven Sages Mountain.

But unfortunately, that secret realm limits entry to those at the Fetal Breathing Realm, and the Shen Family has a severe shortage of cultivators.

Except for Shen Wen’an, the highest cultivation is his father at Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, followed by Shen Chongming at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.

The other sects and forces are estimated to send disciples at Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer or even at the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation.

Compared to them, the Shen Family holds no advantage.

Moreover, there will inevitably be disciples from Hundred Beasts Mountain and Suihuo Sect. If they encounter each other in the secret realm, it would be very disadvantageous for the Shen Family.

”Ah Die, let me go and take a look.”

Shen Chongming pondered for a moment, a hint of eagerness flashing in his eyes as he spoke.

”You?”

Shen Wenxing turned his head to look at him, not immediately speaking.

Shen Chongming continued, ”My current cultivation is at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, and I have been cultivating at home for these years before going to the front lines in the mountains.”

”Few other sects’ cultivators or loose cultivators from noble families know my identity and appearance, even if encountered, they’ll think of me as merely a loose cultivator.”

While Shen Wenxing was contemplating silently, Wei Qiuling felt that letting Shen Chongming go was a good idea.

”Chongming has been battling with the Western Wilderness Barbarian Race and those demon beasts in the mountains for years, so his strength is quite decent.”

”I also have a Disguise Secret Skill that alters facial bones and muscles with spiritual power. Once cultivated, no one will be able to recognize him.”

As Wei Qiuling spoke, a flash of light appeared in her hand, producing a jade scroll.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing hesitated no longer and immediately said, ”You may go.”

”But there are several points to bear in mind.”

”Firstly, take Youran with you; she cooperates well with you and is at Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, so you can look out for each other.”

”Secondly, you need to change your magical artifact, don’t use the Silent Guest Longbow.”

Few cultivators use bows and arrows as magical artifacts.

Over the years, Shen Chongming fought against Western Wilderness Barbarian Race cultivators and disciples of Hundred Beasts Mountain with that great bow, which remains too conspicuous.

If he continues to use it and gets discovered, even if disguised, he will be easily identified by those with intent.

”Third... take the Shen Family seal with you, and later I’ll secretly notify the Vajra Sect and Celestial Talisman Sect, those few Immortal Sects we have a good relationship with.”

”Inside the secret realm, should you encounter danger, you may seek their help with it.”

Hearing this, Shen Chongming nodded, memorizing all his father’s instructions.

Wei Qiuling also added, ”Immortal Family secret realms are treacherous; once inside, avoid greed.”

”Remember one thing, the more mystical the treasures look, the more likely they are traps; instead, the inconspicuous things might hold more value.”

”It still depends on the temperament of the residence’s master.”

”In general, think more, risk less.”

”Opportunities, seize them if present, but never force if absent.”

Shen Chongming nodded again, ”Thank you, Third Aunt, for your reminders.”

Wei Qiuling nodded, then retrieved some elixirs, talismans, etc., from her storage bag to hand over.

”Since the secret realm can restrict Fetal Breathing Realm cultivators, it likely will also limit Fetal Breathing Realm talismans. I have some Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation talismans made during idle times, take them with you.”

”These elixirs have various effects...”

As she explained, a faint smile appeared on Shen Wenxing’s face.

Wei Qiuling has always been good to the Shen Family, but her current attentiveness to Shen Family juniors comes only from being a family.

After Wei Qiuling finished her instructions, Shen Wenxing took the storage bag from his waist, emptied its contents, and handed it to Shen Chongming.

”Take this storage bag with you, but try not to let others see it.”

For this journey to the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm, he must pretend to be a loose cultivator without any background.

The storage bag is a very precious item, and among the younger generation of Yangnao Land, apart from sect leaders or disciples with strong backgrounds, it’s rare for noble family forces to own one.

Shen Chongming took the storage bag, storing all the items given by Wei Qiuling, along with his magical artifact great bow, into the storage bag before placing it into his bosom.

”Ah Die, I’m off.”

Patting the storage bag in his bosom, Shen Chongming rose to bow with clasped hands.

”Before you go, visit your grandfather at Black Water Pavilion.”

Exploring a secret realm is a significant matter, and sending him there is to see if his father has any additional instructions.

Shen Chongming nodded, rising to head towards Black Water Pool.

On the floating bridge, Shen Wen’an stood with his sword, quietly gazing at the lake.

”Third Uncle.”

Shen Chongming approached, bowing slightly to him.

Shen Wen’an turned, handing over the Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword and a letter.

”Your grandfather said you’re leaving on a journey, and asked me to give you this letter.”

”Take this sword with you; it contains three of my Sword Qi, capable of slashing through Fetal Breathing.”

”Be cautious on this journey.”

Placing the sword and letter into his hands, Shen Wen’an patted his shoulder, then turned back into the Black Water Pavilion.
