Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 261: Chapter 185: Daying Immortal Mansion (Part 2)

”Patriarch Shen must remember that the Shen Family owes me a cup of wedding wine.”

After saying this, he cupped his hands towards everyone, leading the other three out.

”Haha... Then I shall keep this cup of wedding wine for Fellow Daoist Wei. Come drink it anytime you have the chance.”

After a round of pleasantries, they escorted Wei Chengyu and his three companions out of the manor, only returning to the wing room after seeing them walk away along the winding path.

”Father...” As Shen Wenxing was about to speak after entering the wing room, Shen Yuan chuckled and said, ”The auspicious time is fast approaching, don’t delay the important event.”

”We can discuss the remaining matters later.”

Shen Wenxing glanced out the window and found that it was almost the auspicious time, so he slightly cupped his hands and led Shen Chongming out first.

...

Black Water Pavilion.

Shen Yuan sat together with Shen Wen’an and Wei Qiuling.

”Father, this Suihuo Sect surely has a plot in mind,” Wei Qiuling said.

She recalled the news sent by her master from faraway Danzhou some time ago.

Ever since Luoxia Mountain clashed with the Suihuo Sect, Le Zhiyi of Luoxia Mountain secretly had people investigate the Suihuo Sect.

But the Suihuo Sect had always been too low-key in the Qishan Range, scarcely interacting with other sect powers.

To this end, Le Zhiyi secretly tried to buy information on the Suihuo Sect from Tingfeng Valley.

Yet, Tingfeng Valley either out of caution or lack of information, politely refused Luoxia Mountain’s request.

Left with no choice, Luoxia Mountain could only rely on its own network and influence to probe bit by bit.

Over the years, only minimal information was gathered, but intelligence showed that the Suihuo Sect had been in contact with a major sect in Central Province for years.

Not only that, Le Zhiyi also suspected that the Suihuo Sect had some kind of connection with the Yinhe Sect of the Danzhou Upper Three Sects!

Because the immortal embryo crafted by Wei Chengyu was using a wisp of Upper Grade Innate Spiritual Qi—Sun Flame Fire Essence Qi—once treasured by the Yinhe Sect.

”Offering unsolicited hospitality usually implies sinister motives,” Shen Yuan sneered.

Shen Wen’an nodded slightly and added.

”It seems one among those four was particularly interested in Black Water Pool.”

”This matter cannot be ignored.”

They had already witnessed the madness of the Suihuo Sect.

Sending disciples to ambush He Zishi and He Yan halfway, attacking Yunzhong County City without warning.

This peculiar Immortal Sect influence seemed full of lunatics, acting entirely outside of common sense.

Wei Qiuling nodded and said, ”During this time, Junior Brother should avoid leaving Black Water Pavilion as much as possible. If the Suihuo Sect has any designs against Black Water Pool, we’ll be better prepared to respond.”

At this, she suddenly frowned.

The event where Shen Wen’an and Lingshan Sword Immortal appeared in Qishan and forcibly eliminated Hundred Beasts Mountain hadn’t been long past.

Now, there was no power in Danzhou that would doubt the attention Lingshan Sword Immortal paid to the Shen Family.

At such a critical juncture, would the Suihuo Sect really dare to target the Shen Family?

If so, does that mean the suspicion of a link between the Suihuo Sect and the Yinhe Sect harbored by my master is indeed valid?

After all, the distance between Central Province and Danzhou is too great; even if the Suihuo Sect has ties to a major sect in Central Province, they wouldn’t dare to easily provoke Cyan Ruo Sword House.

It seems necessary to report today’s matters to my master.

Although this concubinage witnessed some minor hiccups, overall it was quite successful.

As night descended, after helping to see off the guests who came to offer congratulations, Shen Chongming returned to his room out of habit.

On the bed, Chen Youran, who was meditating in a cross-legged position, looked up at him suspiciously and said, ”Husband, why have you returned?”

Shen Chongming was momentarily stunned and said, ”Now that the matters are settled, I naturally came back to accompany you.”

Chen Youran stepped down from the bed, covering her mouth as she tittered, ”Then do you remember what you were busy with today?”

”Today...”

”Oh no!”

Shen Chongming suddenly realized that Mu Lingxun of the Mu Family was still in the side room!

”My dear, I...”

Chen Youran gave him a teasing glance, ”Hurry along, don’t keep Sister Lingxun waiting too long.”

Shen Chongming gently took her hand, kissed her on the forehead, and then left the room heading towards the side room.

On the bed in the side room, Mu Lingxun was quietly seated with a red bridal veil covering her head.

”The Shen Family is indeed more powerful than I imagined...”

Recalling the noble family cultivators and immortal sects who attended the celebration during the day, Mu Lingxun sighed inwardly.

The Mu Family had been working for Hundred Beasts Mountain in earlier years. Nominally a great noble family under the rule of an immortal sect, yet Hundred Beasts Mountain never accorded the Mu Family status, let alone special treatment.

Other noble families under immortal sect rule had rapidly risen, with an increasing number of cultivators within their lines.

Yet, the Mu Family was far behind.

At this moment, she suddenly understood why her grandfather had humbly sent her to the Shen Family as a concubine to Shen Chongming.

”But, Shen Chongming does have a handsome face, and at such a young age, his cultivation has already reached the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer. Spending a lifetime with such a person isn’t too bad...”

Under the red veil, as Mu Lingxun’s beautiful eyes blinked and this thought arose in her mind, even the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curl into a slight smile.

Tap! Tap! Tap...

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingxun couldn’t help but clench her wedding dress, thinking to herself:

Indeed such impatience, perhaps the principal wife is pregnant right now, driving him restless.

I wonder if my constitution can withstand his exertions...

At least being a cultivator in the Second Realm of Qi Cultivation should mean it’ll be fine...

As countless thoughts raced through Mu Lingxun’s mind and her trepidation grew, the door was slowly pushed open.
