Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 282: Chapter 188: Ambition_4

...

The construction of Yunshui City is progressing vigorously.

After the winter snow fell, Wei Qiuling returned from his inspection of He County and Yunzhong County, only to visit Hu Mei’Er.

Upon seeing her cultivation had fallen to the Middle Stage of Fetal Breathing, he hurried to the Black Water Pavilion.

”Father, Sister Mei’Er’s injuries seem to be unstable.”

On the first floor of the Black Water Pavilion, Wei Qiuling spoke with a serious expression.

Shen Yuan put down the book he was holding and nodded slightly: ”Xu Xiu brought many ancient texts from Danzhou. I’ve been seeking a way to help her during this time.”

”It’s just that demon cultivators and we human cultivators have a significant difference, and it’s hard to find a clue at the moment.”

Wei Qiuling pondered for a moment before speaking: ”I have an idea, but I need your approval.”

Shen Yuan smiled faintly: ”You can make the decisions concerning the family’s matters. As long as it can save Mei’Er, you can decide on your own.”

Wei Qiuling nodded slightly: ”I want Sister Mei’Er to try the ’Twenty-Four Solar Terms Celestial Rotation True Seal.’

”Some cultivation techniques of us human cultivators may not help Sister Mei’Er much, but ’Twenty-Four Solar Terms Celestial Rotation True Seal’ is a Dao Seal Jade Carving. Wen’an said, the Upper Three Sects regard it as a Supreme Skill of Dao Seal.”

”Although the cultivation methods of demons and us humans may not share much commonality, the Great Dao leads to the same destination.”

”The ’Twenty-Four Solar Terms Celestial Rotation True Seal’ might be helpful to Sister Mei’Er.”

Shen Yuan thought for a moment, finding some truth in this suggestion.

”I overlooked this matter.”

”How about this, inform Mei’Er about the arrays in the Black Water Pavilion. Let her contemplate those three jade scrolls on the third floor when she’s free.”

”Additionally, she can use anything she finds helpful on the third floor.”

Wei Qiuling nodded.

”By the way, there’s something I want your opinion on.”

Shen Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking: ”Chonghong and the juniors have grown up now. I want them to learn some arts of cultivation alongside their training. What do you think?”

These days I’ve been reading the books Xu Xiu brought from Qiyun Valley, and I’ve gained a deeper understanding of the arts of cultivation.

I understand that for a cultivating family, the importance of the arts of cultivation is no less than cultivation techniques and various techniques.

Wei Qiuling thought for a long time and finally nodded slightly: ”The Shen Family indeed lacks in arts of cultivation.”

”Although Qiyun Valley is difficult to cure, its endurance is because its achievements in the Pill Array Dao keep various immortal sects at Qishan from dealing a fatal blow.”

”Back then, Luoxia Mountain was able to rise not only because generations of sect elders made sacrifices, but also due to the refining methods of magical robes.”

”It’s just...”

Wei Qiuling sighed slightly: ”It’s just that the arts of cultivation heritage held by the immortal sects are rarely shared.”

”Without a complete heritage, achieving anything in arts of cultivation is too difficult.”

Shen Yuan also sighed heavily upon hearing this.

He also knows that whether it’s alchemy, talisman making, arrays, or artifact refining, other immortal sects and powers have painstakingly accumulated them through countless generations.

These heritages are regarded as treasures by various immortal sects and families, representing the core essence of their sects.

Even with the current relationship between the Shen Family and Luoxia Mountain, they can’t possibly share these assets.

”Difficult as it may be, there must be a beginning.”

”If no heritage is available, then let this generation become the founders of the Shen Family’s legacy.”

Wei Qiuling was slightly taken aback by his words, then smiled and nodded.

”I can’t disclose the heritage of artifact refining from Luoxia Mountain, but I can certainly guide Chonghong and the others in some foundational techniques.”

Shen Yuan shook his head slightly upon hearing this.

Artifact refining would certainly benefit greatly from Wei Qiuling’s guidance.

Still, he didn’t want to earn a reputation for plotting against his daughter-in-law, nor did he want Wei Qiuling to face criticism at Luoxia Mountain.

”Leave it to me. You should carry on with your work.”

Wei Qiuling nodded and then left the Black Water Pavilion.

...

Large flakes of snow fell through the array shield onto the mountain forest where the Black Water Pool was, bending the tree branches, dyeing the vast earth in white.

Wearing brocade attire and a black fur cloak on his shoulders, Shen Chongming rubbed his forehead and walked from afar.

After finishing discussions in the ancestral hall with stewards from affiliated clans, he finally understood the difficulties his father faced before.

Dealing with these mundane worldly matters is far more challenging than fighting a cultivator of the same realm.

”Once I take charge of the Shen Family, I must separate the affairs of cultivators and these mundane people.”

”Cultivators should focus on cultivation...”

Thinking this, Shen Chongming arrived at the entrance of the manor.

”Young Clan Leader.”

A cultivator from the Shen Family hurriedly approached and saluted: ”Two cultivators from an immortal sect have arrived, and they’ve been waiting in the guest room for half a day.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming immediately set aside his thoughts and frowned: ”From which immortal sect are the cultivators?”

”Why wasn’t I notified?”

The Shen Family cultivator awkwardly saluted: ”I told them that the Patriarch and Young Clan Leader were busy, and asked if they needed to be informed.”

”They urged me repeatedly, saying there’s no rush, and preferred to wait here.”

”They’ve already finished two pots of tea...”

Shen Chongming glared at him: ”Did you really take the guest’s lack of urgency seriously?”

After being reprimanded, the cultivator murmured softly: ”I saw that they weren’t significant figures, and thought they might need something from the Shen Family...”

”Alright.” Shen Chongming gestured dismissively, shook off the snowflakes on his clothing, and quickly headed towards the guest room.
