Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 266: Chapter 185: Daying Immortal Mansion (Part 7)

Shen Chongming listened, his brow furrowed deeply.

His younger brother was accustomed to being wild in the mountains; their father had sent him to the Clan Court, hoping that Master Lu would temper his nature.

Unexpectedly, after a year, the boy still hadn’t changed!

”I am aware of this matter. Go back and tell Master Lu not to worry.”

After dismissing the Clan Court disciple, Shen Chongming thought for a moment and looked at a cultivator before him, saying, ”Take some people and ask other clan members in the vicinity if they’ve seen the young master.”

The cultivator bowed and quickly left.

Shen Chongming pondered a moment, then directly headed to the Black Water Pavilion.

Their father, Shen Wenxing, had gone to the ruled city for inspection, so he could only consult his grandfather, Shen Yuan.

On the first floor of the Black Water Pavilion.

Upon learning that Shen Chonghong had sneaked away from home, Shen Yuan chuckled, ”Another one that won’t give peace of mind.”

”I’ve already sent people down the mountain to search... Let’s hope the boy is just playing and hasn’t gone far.”

Shen Chongming said.

Shen Yuan shook his head slightly, ”A caged eagle, a penned-in stallion, once freed, how can they simply stroll around?”

His heart spirit stirred, and he immediately used the White Jade Turtle Shell for a divination.

After consuming some spiritual charm, the White Jade Turtle Shell produced a hexagram prophecy.

Shen Yuan glanced at the prophecy; seeing the hexagram was ordinary, without danger or surprise, he breathed a sigh of relief.

”No need to worry excessively; he should be fine this time.”

”Don’t cause a huge commotion searching for him. When that boy returns, as his elder brother, you should discipline him well.”

Shen Chongming nodded, bowed, and left.

A few days later, Shen Wenxing returned from his inspection and was quite incensed upon learning that Shen Chonghong had snuck away.

”Father, calm down. Grandpa said Chonghong will be fine this time, and once he returns, I will discipline him well.”

Shen Chongming comforted beside him.

Shen Wenxing nodded, suppressing his anger and said, ”Where is your grandfather now? I have something to discuss with him.”

”He should be in the back courtyard,” Shen Chongming said.

It’s almost time for the ancestral festival, and the elder likes to spend this time enjoying with the younger generation.

Shen Wenxing said nothing and quickly went to the backyard.

In the courtyard, the sun was bright in the winter, warming everyone comfortably.

Shen Yuan lay on a recliner, gently stroking the glossy fur of the big black dog beside him, watching He Zhongyi playing with Shen Li not far away.

In recent years, Shen You and Shen Chongxu had gradually grown up and, apart from cultivation, were unwilling to play with He Zhongyi and Shen Li.

The two little ones were spurned by their elder siblings and gradually became close playmates.

Shen Wenxing entered, and the two little ones respectfully made a courtesy gesture and sensibly went to play in the distance.

The big black dog saw this, looked up at Shen Yuan.

Seeing Shen Yuan nod, it rose from the ground and went towards the little ones.

”Father.”

Shen Wenxing bowed and pulled a nearby stool to sit down.

Seeing his worried expression, Shen Yuan snickered, straightened up, and asked, ”What troubles you?”

Shen Wenxing smiled bitterly and shook his head, ”In the past, I couldn’t sleep worrying when the clan couldn’t find any Immortal Seedlings with Spirit Roots.”

”Now, however, there are too many Immortal Seedlings, and I’m troubled again.”

”Last year combined with this year, over seventy Immortal Seedlings with Spirit Roots have been selected from the four cities.”

”Counting the ones previously in the clan, the number of Immortal Seedlings with Spirit Roots now exceeds a hundred.”

”And those cultivators who have reached the Qi Cultivation Realm still require substantial cultivation resources.”

Shen Yuan also sighed slightly upon hearing this.

In recent years, Shen Family’s development has been a bit swift, and consequently, some problems have gradually surfaced.

Cultivation resource issues were something he had anticipated before.

Retired to the Black Water Pavilion for these years, aside from practicing, he spent most of his time reading cultivation essays gifted by Pei Zhao years ago, and occasionally, he asked Wei Qiuling to bring some ancient texts related to the Cultivation Realm from Danzhou, hoping to find better solutions from them.
