Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 245: Chapter 182: Twenty-Four Solar Terms Celestial Rotation True Seal_4

Wei Qiuling was a bit disappointed and pouted.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiuqi chuckled and said, ”Breaking it is out of the question, but letting you all enter shouldn’t be a problem.”

”Let’s go, take me to see it.”

Wei Qiuling nodded and then bowed to Shen Yuan and Shen Wenxing, saying, ”Father, Brother, Wen’an and I will go to He County with Master Jiang.”

Shen Yuan nodded slightly and smiled, ”Go ahead.”

After watching the trio leave, Shen Yuan handed Shen Li to Shen Wenxing and returned alone to the Black Water Pavilion.

Standing on the first floor, he hesitated for a moment before going directly to the third floor, where he found an ancient beast skin book among the many antique shelves.

It was a gift from Xu Xiu when he came back from Danzhou to visit them.

He said it was a tribute from an outer disciple of Qiyun Valley, and he had no use for it himself.

The book contained numerous records of Gu Skills, Talismanic Techniques, and other strange things.

Shen Wenxing once identified the contents of the book as evil cultivation techniques.

At that time, he believed that ”techniques have no inherent morality,” and studied them briefly in his free time, but couldn’t make much sense of it.

For years, this ancient book was left gathering dust on high shelves.

Today, after hearing Jiang Xiuqi say that Shen Li’s physique was an innate spirit body related to witch cultivation, he thought of this book.

He gently blew dust off the cover and flipped through a few pages before taking the book to the backyard of the manor.

In the newly built residence, Hu Mei’Er was meditating cross-legged in the courtyard.

Living in the Shen Family during this time and watching Shen Li grow day by day, her inner pain was gradually soothed.

She realized now that if her injuries continued to worsen, not only would she struggle to maintain her human form, but she might also lose the immortal embryo within her, becoming a mere mortal beast.

When there was a knock on the courtyard door, Hu Mei’Er awoke from her cultivation and walked over to open the door.

Seeing Shen Yuan standing outside, she bowed slightly in greeting.

”Father.”

With his hands behind his back, Shen Yuan nodded with a smile and said, ”A senior from Luoxia Mountain just examined Li’Er’s body.”

”He said it was an innate spirit body.”

Hu Mei’Er’s face lit up with joy and she said, ”That’s wonderful.”

Shen Yuan handed the ancient beast skin book over and said, ”That senior mentioned that Li’Er’s spirit body is related to witch cultivation, and there’s no suitable cultivation technique for her in all of Danzhou.”

”I have an ancient book here that I randomly acquired years ago, which seems to be related to witch cultivation.”

Witch cultivation?

Hu Mei’Er furrowed her brow and pondered for a long time before replying, ”I think I encountered a witch cultivator back then.”

”But that witch cultivator tried to capture me, and Grandmaster Bai Ze drove him away.”

”Oh?” Shen Yuan was puzzled and asked, ”So there are witch cultivators in Danzhou?”

Hu Mei’Er shook her head slightly, ”I don’t know. It was Grandmaster Bai Ze who revealed later that the cultivator back then was a witch cultivator.”

”Father wants Li’Er to learn from this ancient book?”

As Hu Mei’Er took the beast skin book, a trace of resistance inexplicably arose in her heart.

She didn’t know whether it was the beast skin used to make the book that made her uncomfortable or if it was some strange power contained within it.

Shen Yuan nodded, ”Li’Er can cultivate with the Immortal Dao Cultivation Technique, but I think she should get acquainted with some things related to witch cultivation given that her spirit body is of that nature.”

”Otherwise, her talent would be wasted.”

Hu Mei’Er also felt that this made sense and nodded immediately, ”Alright, then in a couple of years, when Li’Er is a bit older, we’ll let her try.”

”By the way, Father, I’ve heard that Sister Xuan’s health has almost recovered...”

Hu Mei’Er stopped mid-sentence and looked over.

During the years with Shen Wenyan, she heard many stories about Zhao Xuan and her son.

Including how they met, got married, and everything that happened afterward.

In her heart, Hu Mei’Er really felt sorry for Zhao Xuan.

Even though Shen Wenyan is no longer with us, both of them were close to him, like sisters. She wanted to visit Zhao Xuan.

After pondering for a long time, Shen Yuan spoke, ”Zhao Xuan has indeed recovered somewhat, but whether she can handle the blow of Ah Nu’s passing is still unknown.”

”However, now that she can get out of bed and walk, this matter won’t stay hidden for much longer.”

”You should go see her too. Speak openly with her, and maybe it will help her resolve her heartache.”

Hu Mei’Er nodded.

As Shen Yuan prepared to leave, he suddenly stopped and said, ”The heavenly and earthly treasures you brought back are still on the third floor of the Black Water Pavilion.”

”Next time you go, take some with you. In case of any unexpected situations, it’s good to be prepared.”

After passing on the array techniques of the Black Water Pavilion to Hu Mei’Er, Shen Yuan left the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Xuan is not like Hu Mei’Er; she doesn’t have strong cultivation to support her.

Although her body has recovered, she is ultimately just a mortal, and physically even weaker than ordinary mortals.

If she hears that the husband she’s been waiting for eight or nine years is no longer alive, who knows what might happen.

...

He County, within Hidden Dragon Mountain.

Three streaks of light quickly flew over from the distant sky.

After the light beams landed, Wei Qiuling looked around and found the illusion array that was previously concealing the Sunflower Water Thunder Array.

”Master Jiang, it’s right here.”

Jiang Xiuqi nodded, glanced at the illusion array, and then waved his hand to dispel it.

Once the illusion array dissipated, the scene before them changed immediately.

”Huh!?”

”Is it a cave residence?”

As the surrounding forest slowly faded away to reveal a half-collapsed hidden cave, Wei Qiuling spoke.

Jiang Xiuqi glanced at the cave entrance where clearly human-carved stone benches and tables were visible, and said, ”It should be the cave residence of a senior cultivator.”

”As you said, that brat He Yanhu was desperate to come here, which means there must still be some valuable items in this cave residence that couldn’t be taken away.”
