Chapter 285: Chapter 189: Reentering the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm

Back then, when Chen Youran went with him to the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm, he chanced upon that Thunder Monster.

With the help of that Thunderous Creature, he obtained the inheritance of the ”Cloud Seal Jade Pivot Thunder-Invoking Minor Skill”.

Initially, Shen Chongming didn’t know what that Thunder Monster was, but as his experience grew over the years, he vaguely guessed that the Thunder Monster might very well be a strand of Innate Spiritual Qi of the Thunder Attribute.

Possessing the Wood God Thunder Spirit Root and cultivating the ”Cloud Seal Jade Pivot Thunder-Invoking Minor Skill”, that Thunder Monster was undoubtedly the most compatible with his Innate Spirit Root.

If he were to return to the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm, besides that Thunder Monster, he must visit the cave mansion on the mountain top to strive to complete the inheritance of the ”Cloud Seal Jade Pivot Thunder-Invoking Minor Skill”.

Only in this way will his cultivation in the future be secure.

After pondering for a while, Shen Chongming suppressed his thoughts and turned to say, ”Leave that little girl from Hundred Refinements Valley to you.”

”Remember, personal preferences are worthless compared to family interests.”

”Grandfather and father have ’endured and lived humbly’ for decades to accumulate our family business today; if we brothers only think about maintaining the status quo, we will continue to ’live humbly’ in the future.”

Facing his brother’s determined gaze, Shen Chonghong slightly nodded.

At this moment, he seemed to understand that his life was not only his own but also for the continuation of the family.

...

”Third Aunt.”

On the morning of the next day, Shen Chongming encountered Wei Qiuling in the manor and thus thought of the matter regarding Xiao Yin and his daughter from Hundred Refinements Valley from the previous day.

He only knew that Hundred Refinements Valley had some familial relations with Vajra Sect, so since he had a plan, he naturally had to learn more about the background of Hundred Refinements Valley to make the plotting more secure.

”There are some matters I would like to ask Third Aunt.”

Shen Chongming cupped his hands and spoke.

Wei Qiuling seemed to have nothing to do, so she nodded with a smile, and the two sat down in the pavilion of the courtyard.

”How much does Third Aunt know about Hundred Refinements Valley?”

”Hundred Refinements Valley?”

Upon hearing Shen Chongming’s words, Wei Qiuling thought for a moment and mildly smiled: ”What makes you interested in them?”

Shen Chongming smiled faintly, just recounted the simple matter of Xiao Yin and his daughter’s visit to apologize yesterday without mentioning his intentions.

Wei Qiuling laughed while shaking her head: ”I wondered why Chonghong would suddenly switch, earnestly cultivating.”

After a light chuckle, she then organized her thoughts and said, ”Hundred Refinements Valley is actually a long-established Immortal Sect influence.”

”Its lineage can be traced back to the era of the Immortal Dynasty in Danzhou, and it is said that the founder of Hundred Refinements Valley, Mo Chu, was once the imperial swordsmith of the Immortal Dynasty.”

”Later, the Immortal Dynasty fell, and various Immortal Sect Families emerged, with many of the Immortal Dynasty’s traditions divided; Mo Chu fled to Qishan with some refining heritage.”

”Afterwards, several colleagues followed Mo Chu to the depths of Qishan, and together they established Hundred Refinements Valley.”

Speaking of this, Wei Qiuling suddenly smiled and said: ”Those few Mo Chu didn’t know that the tradition taught by the Immortal Dynasty to them was merely a simplified version of the standardized magical artifact refinement.”

”The real core heritage had long been divided among the powers of the Immortal Dynasty at that time.”

”Thus, Hundred Refinements Valley held onto that heritage and has survived in the desolate areas of Qishan for so many years yet couldn’t rise to prominence.”

Shen Chongming nodded, then continued: ”I’ve heard that Hundred Refinements Valley and Vajra Sect have some familial connections?”

Wei Qiuling nodded: ”It’s just that the sister of the former Sect Leader of Hundred Refinements Valley was married to a Fourth Realm Elder of Vajra Sect.”

”Now that the old Sect Leader has passed away, this relationship is naturally not as valuable as before.”

”Currently, Hundred Refinements Valley can occupy a county in Yangnao Land because Xiang County is remotely located and relatively impoverished; many Immortal Sects are aware of their relationship with Vajra Sect and haven’t deliberately made things difficult.”

Upon saying this, Wei Qiuling leisurely began to speak: ”In terms of strength, Hundred Refinements Valley is not as strong as the Shen Family.”

”So, Xiao Yin’s visit to apologize was the right choice.”

”In the Cultivation Realm, strength is respected. If not for his sincere attitude, and the Shen Family learns of this matter, even if they go to confront them, Vajra Sect wouldn’t say anything.”

”This is the benefit of having strength.”

”In the eyes of Vajra Sect, the value of the Shen Family far exceeds that of Hundred Refinements Valley.”

Shen Chongming nodded thoughtfully.

With these secrets revealed, he now had confidence in his heart.

The heritage of Hundred Refinements Valley may be disregarded by various Immortal Sects, but the Shen Family wouldn’t despise it.

By plotting carefully, whether in a few years or ten to twenty years, they must seize the heritage of Hundred Refinements Valley.

”I see your cultivation has reached the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer for some time; is there any progress regarding Innate Spiritual Qi?”

With a gleam in her eyes, Wei Qiuling looked at him.

People only speak of the Shen Family’s good fortune, having Shen Wen’an, a sword dao genius in five generations, who was fortunate enough to gain the favor of Lingshan Sword Immortal.

Yet they haven’t noticed that this sixth-generation leader, Shen Chongming, has a talent no lesser than Shen Wen’an.

A Thunder Attribute Spirit Root mutated, reaching the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer before the age of thirty.

Such cultivation speed is not weaker than the chief disciples of many Immortal Sects.

If luck is favorable, and he obtains compatible Innate Spiritual Qi, it won’t take many years for Shen Chongming to become a figure capable of rivalling those chief disciples.

Shen Chongming nodded and said: ”There are some clues, but I need to verify it for real.”

”Oh?”

Upon hearing this, Wei Qiuling was quite surprised.

Keep in mind that she and Li Heshan, among others, who were chief disciples of Immortal Sect back then, waited years, even more than a decade for a suitable Innate Spiritual Qi after their cultivation reached Qi Cultivation Perfection Realm.
