Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 293: Chapter 190: Jade True Thunder Mansion (Part 3)

”Well...”

”I am also an ordinary person.” Hu Yufen gently held his hand and smiled faintly: ”You know better than anyone, I never had the thought of cultivating immortality for longevity.”

”In the past, the reason I ate so many good things was because you and the children forced me to.”

Shen Yuan let out a soft sigh and looked into her eyes, ”Did you ever think about what would happen to me when you’re gone, with the days I have left?”

Generally, those at the Qi Cultivation Realm can reach the lifespan of two hundred years. If one breaks through to Fetal Breathing and forges an Immortal Embryo, their lifespan can double again.

He is only in his seventies now, and the days ahead are still long.

”You still have the eldest, Chongming, and the others to accompany you. What are you worried about?” Hu Yufen smiled and consoled.

Shen Yuan was displeased by this.

”But the eldest has his own children and grandchildren to keep him company, and Chongming is the same. Who will come and see this old fool then?”

”Just think, by that time I would be alone, with just a dog, lying in this courtyard the whole day with no one to talk to... isn’t that melancholic?”

Hearing this, Hu Yufen laughed.

She moved her stool closer to Shen Yuan and quietly leaned against him.

On the other side of the reclining chair, the big black dog raised its head to look at the two, then closed its mouth, quietly lying motionless on the ground.

At the courtyard gate.

Shen Wenxing hurriedly walked in, and as he stepped through the gates, he saw the scene in the pavilion.

Seeing the quiet companionship of his parents, Shen Wenxing immediately halted his steps, a smile appearing on his face, and he slowly retreated, not daring to make a sound.

...

Jinghe Market.

The purple-clothed woman from the Celestial Talisman Sect stood quietly in front of the Shen Family’s shop, looking at Shen Wenping, whose appearance was beautiful and temperament noble inside the shop, a smile appeared on her face.

”May I know what the honored guest needs?”

”All the Talismans in our shop are crafted by the Immortal Masters of the Celestial Talisman Sect, with guaranteed quality!”

”Currently, the shop has promotions, whether buying or selling, you can come in and take a look.”

The shop assistant warmly greeted her.

The purple-clothed woman smiled and nodded, and under the guidance of the assistant, she slowly entered the shop.

She glanced around and saw all the Talismans and other goods in the shop neatly arranged, which was pleasing to the eye, and the purple-clothed woman nodded in satisfaction before heading straight to Shen Wenping.

Shen Wenping was calculating accounts with her head lowered, and upon sensing someone approaching, she raised her head.

She exchanged a glance with the purple-clothed woman and smiled slightly: ”Are you not an Immortal Master from the Celestial Talisman Sect?”

The purple-clothed woman curiously asked: ”How did Miss Shen recognize me?”

Shen Wenping put down the paper and pen in her hand and gestured for her to head towards the backyard chamber.

”The Spiritual Ink used in Talisman Making has a special fragrance, and I smelled it when the Immortal Master approached.” Shen Wenping explained while walking.

So that’s how it is...

The purple-clothed woman understood and followed Shen Wenping to the chamber and sat down.

After the servants served tea, Shen Wenping spoke: ”Wenping still doesn’t know the Immortal Master’s name...”

The purple-clothed woman took a gentle sip of the tea and spoke softly: ”I should be a few years older than Miss Shen, we can address each other as sisters from now on.”

Shen Wenping nodded and softly called her ”Sister.”

The purple-clothed woman also introduced her identity.

”In the coming days, I will have to trouble Sister Youwei.” Shen Wenping smiled casually: ”For some common Spiritual Objects and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, the cultivators in the shop should be able to identify them.”

”But for some special ones, I’ll have to trouble Sister to handle personally.”

”Additionally, I have a personal matter to ask Sister for help.”

Hu Youwei nodded slightly: ”Please go ahead, Sister.”

Shen Wenping said: ”To be honest, my mother has no Spirit Root, and has yet to break through Qi Cultivation.”

”Now she is advanced in age, neither my siblings nor I can bear to see her lifespan diminishing day by day.”

”So, I am thinking of finding something in this Market that could help our mother.”

Hu Youwei frowned slightly.

For her, born in the Cultivation Realm of Danzhou, stepping into Immortal Cultivation, worldly emotional ties have mostly worn away.

The ideology of the difference between immortals and mortals is deeply rooted in the heart of every Danzhou cultivator.

Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that can extend life are generally quite precious in the Cultivation Realm.

Buying them for a mere mortal feels wasteful.

Shen Wenping seemed to guess her thoughts and sighed slightly: ”To be honest, extending life for our mother and assisting her in breaking through Qi Cultivation has become a top priority for many younger members of the Shen Family.”

”I hope Sister Youwei can lend a helping hand.”

Hu Youwei pondered for a moment and then nodded: ”This is not difficult.”

”Sister, rest assured, if I find something helpful for your mother, I’ll inform you immediately.”

”However, purchasing such items could require a considerable amount of Spirit Crystals.”

Shen Wenping nodded, thanked her, and then said: ”Spirit Crystals are something I have accounted for.”

”Please be seated, Sister. I’ll have someone prepare a room for you.”

Shen Wenping got up, bowed, and hurriedly left.

Watching her back, Hu Youwei let out a soft sigh.

”For a mere mortal, is it really worth wasting so much resources...”

...

In Black Water Pavilion.

Shen Li, wearing a light pink robe with two horn braids on her head, pushed open the door and stepped onto the floating bridge.

From behind the door she left open, a terrifying three-foot-long centipede crawled out.

Shen Li stretched lazily, squatted down to pet the Silver Thread Centipede, and smiled, ”Later I’ll take you to find some food around here.”
