Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 512: Chapter 227: The Second Great Harvest (Part 3)

Of course, she would only say such things in front of herself; in front of outsiders, she wouldn’t be this indiscreet.

”Alright, don’t worry too much about these matters. Focus more on cultivation. The Shen Family will not stop here, and there will be opportunities for the Zhantai family to contribute and earn merits in the future.”

Raising the teacup in front of him, Shen Chongxuan took a sip and said, ”In the coming days, spend some time with your big mother and grandmother, and learn the rules.”

”Also, visit Lady Hu in the backyard, and pay attention to etiquette.”

The parents had long been deceased for many years. Hu Mei’Er, after all, was the concubine his father took in, and received recognition from the Shen family, so she was his aunt.

Unlike his brother Shen Chongxu, he has always respected Hu Mei’Er over the years.

Now, as Zhantai Yujing is about to marry into the Shen family and become his wife, she naturally needs to pay a visit to Hu Mei’Er in advance.

”Rest assured, I will visit Lady Hu tomorrow.”

Zhantai Yujing’s temperament is good, and she did not feel displeased by Shen Chongxuan’s slightly reprimanding words just now.

”I have recently gained some new insights into the ’Autumn Water Sword Technique’. Would you like to spar with me?”

As she spoke, she directly grabbed the long sword beside her.

Shen Chongxuan glanced at her and shook his head secretly.

Since deciding to have Literary Dao cultivators also practice sword techniques back then, his comprehension in the Sword Dao has been considered first-rate.

As for Zhantai Yujing’s sword skills... they barely reach a third-rate standard.

Sparring with her, Shen Chongxuan truly has no interest at all.

However, to not dampen the mood, he slowly stood up and took the sword from the column of the octagonal pavilion.

Seeing this, Zhantai Yujing’s face showed a hint of a smile. Her beautiful eyes flashed as she unsheathed her sword and attacked.

...

Southern Border, Qingting City.

Wearing a beast-skin long robe and with hair disheveled, Shen Chongxu wielded a long staff and smashed a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer ”Golden Pavilion Sect” cultivator into pulp, then charged towards the Golden Pavilion Sect Leader who was slaughtering his subordinate cultivators.

The Golden Pavilion Sect Leader is an elder in the middle stage of Fetal Breathing wearing a brocade robe with a prosperous form.

With every move, Gold Attribute Techniques constantly harvested the lives of the surrounding loose cultivators.

These loose cultivators were simply cannon fodder recruited by Shen Chongxu at Yi Meng Lake.

He only told these people that he intended to occupy Qingting City, and anyone willing to follow him would be rewarded based on merits and would get a share of the cultivation resources once Qingting City was taken.

Such enticing conditions directly gathered a large number of loose cultivators who often roamed between brothels.

The cultivation of these cultivators isn’t high, most only at the Qi Cultivation Fifth or Sixth Layer, with only one pair of brothers reaching the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, wasting the cost of a table of wine and dishes.

Once he gathered enough manpower, Shen Chongxu led this rabble straight into Qingting City, rushing towards the Golden Pavilion Sect which had just occupied the city for a short time.

During the battle, the Golden Pavilion Sect Leader deliberately bypassed Shen Chongxu, choosing to slaughter the recruited Qi Cultivators.

Moreover, with each kill, he used a strange magical artifact to absorb all the essence blood from the dead cultivators.

Shen Chongxu was curious about this but didn’t care at all.

These people were just cannon fodder he recruited, a bunch of rogues fond of frequenting places of pleasure; what major deeds could they accomplish?

As the Golden Pavilion Sect Leader slaughtered his cannon fodder, Shen Chongxu naturally didn’t hold back, specifically targeting the Qi Cultivation Realm disciples of the Golden Pavilion Sect to kill.

Both parties were like tigers in a flock of sheep, quickly harvesting each other’s low-tier cultivators.

After a brief skirmish, only the old Sect Leader of the Golden Pavilion Sect was left, and Shen Chongxu didn’t want to waste time, so he directly charged forward.

Seeing Shen Chongxu, drenched in blood and holding a Black Iron Long Staff covered in blood, the old Sect Leader of the Golden Pavilion Sect showed a hint of fear in his eyes. He hurriedly used the strange magical artifact in his hand to absorb all the essence blood from a Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer cultivator, then turned to flee.

”Stop him!”

Shen Chongxu shouted loudly!

The pair of brothers, having just dealt with their opponents, heard this and gritted their teeth; each immediately took out a talisman from their bosom, chanting incantations, they infused spiritual power and threw them at the old man!

Boom!

The two talismans exploded in the void, instantly converting into several bolts of thunder striking towards the Golden Pavilion Sect Leader!

Although the thunder didn’t seem powerful, the Golden Pavilion Sect Leader only cultivated Scattering Technique; despite having mid-stage Fetal Breathing cultivation, his spiritual true essence was already nearly exhausted from the slaughter just now.

Being suddenly attacked by the talismans, several unobtrusive electrical lights struck his body. Though it didn’t cause significant damage, it paralyzed his body, stagnant the circulation of spiritual power, delaying the best opportunity to flee.

By then, Shen Chongxu had already dashed over.

Seizing the momentary paralysis caused by the thunder, the Black Iron Long Staff, carrying heavy Earth Attribute spiritual power, slammed down!

Crack!

The staff directly struck the Golden Pavilion Sect Leader’s right shoulder, causing a tooth-aching sound of bones cracking, collapsing his shoulder on the spot.

The Black Iron Long Staff followed with a horizontal sweep, breaking the Golden Pavilion Sect Leader’s legs.

Shen Chongxu approached, placing the long staff against his chest.

Nearby, the cultivator brothers also came rushing in using Wind Manipulation.

”Elder Bai.”

As they clasped their hands, their faces showed barely concealed joy.

Having dealt with the Golden Pavilion Sect means they would soon control Qingting City.

Although this city isn’t large, it can still yield quite a bounty annually, enough to exchange for cultivation resources to meet daily cultivation needs.
