Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Xu Zhan also understood the urgency of the matter. He turned to Shen You and said, ”Senior Sister, I’ll tell you more later. I must head over now.”

Shen You nodded, watching him head towards Yunshui City.

In the old house’s side room, everyone sat together.

Shen Chongming sipped his tea and spoke in a deep voice, ”The place where the spirit manifestation anomaly is occurring is the Yunmeng Marsh in Dang County.”

”According to the cultivators our Shen Family sent to investigate, although it’s April now, the Yunmeng Marsh suddenly received black snow. After the marsh, which stretches for thousands of miles, was covered in this black snow, a chill and frosty aura filled the area, turning the entire marsh into a forbidden zone.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Qixuan from Cyan Ruo Sword House curiously asked, ”Patriarch Shen, how did you conclude that this anomaly is a sign of spirit manifestation rather than an exotic treasure appearing?”

As soon as he spoke, Huang Lingshan glanced at him and shook her head helplessly.

When the seven first arrived at Yangnao Land, she had asked Shen Chongming about the spirits in Yangnao Land. Shen Chongming could provide answers, proving that the Shen Family had a certain grasp of Yangnao Land’s spirits.

As soon as the anomaly appeared in Yunmeng Marsh, the Shen Family was the first to receive the news, further proving they had already stationed people there.

”Senior Brother Liu should drink less; it’s bad for the brain.”

Seeing Liu Qixuan still looking clueless, the Moonlight Sword Immortal couldn’t help but tease.

Liu Qixuan wanted to argue further, but Huang Lingshan directly interrupted him, looking at Shen Chongming, ”Pay him no mind, continue.”

Shen Chongming nodded and continued, ”This time, it’s different from Celestial Aromatic Mountain.”

”After the battle at Celestial Aromatic Mountain, the Golden Core forces in the Southern Border should have a significant concern about us.”

”Thus, trying to let them fight each other while we gain the advantage might no longer be feasible.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Lingshan and the others nodded.

In the Celestial Aromatic Mountain battle, the Shen Family and Cyan Ruo Sword House deployed nine Golden Core combatants. Seeing their terrifying strength, the Golden Core forces in the Southern Border, if they aim for spirits, would undoubtedly devise countermeasures within these two years.

They certainly wouldn’t give us the chance to reap the benefits without effort again.

”So, what’s your plan?”

Huang Lingshan pondered for a moment and then said.

Shen Chongming lowered his head in thought for a while and shook his head slightly.

”I don’t have a particularly good plan.”

”Under the current circumstances, we can only send people over promptly and occupy advantageous positions beside Yunmeng Marsh.”

”Once the spirit manifests, no matter their countermeasures, ultimately, it will come down to a battle; the outcome won’t escape being determined by strength.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qixuan slapped the armrest of his wooden chair.

”Heh!”

”If a fight is inevitable, then we don’t need to expend our energy strategizing.”

”In my opinion, Cyan Ruo Sword House and the Shen Family should just go together, stake our claim near Yunmeng Marsh, and when the spirit appears, seize it directly.”

”Shut up!”

Huang Lingshan glared at him sternly.

This old man spends his days either cultivating or drinking, severely lacking in strategy and wisdom.

Chided, Liu Qixuan wasn’t angry; he chuckled awkwardly and rubbed his nose.

”Shut up it is, then.”

Sullenly, he moved his body and squatted on the wide wooden chair, sipping leisurely from the wine gourd tied to his waist.

Everyone was used to his antics and selectively chose to ignore him.

”Fellow Daoist Jiang from Luoxia Mountain has decent expertise in Array Dao; it’s best to request his assistance this time.”

After a momentary silence, Moonlight Sword Immortal spoke softly.

Clearly, she felt that obtaining the spirit this time wouldn’t be as easy as acquiring the Celestial Aromatic Mountain’s Crimson Flame Radiance.

Preparations need to be thorough in advance.

Shen Chongming lowered his head.

During the Celestial Aromatic Mountain battle, Jiang Xiuqi did not act, as Danzhou’s mountain gate had been destroyed, significantly weakening Luoxia Mountain’s strength.

At that time, Cyan Ruo Sword House had several Sword Immortals that could control the situation, so there was no need to call upon him.

This time, in the Yunmeng Marsh spirit endeavor, let’s have Luoxia Mountain contribute.

”Does anyone have anything else to add?”

Shen Chongming glanced at everyone and asked.

Everyone shook their heads, but Huang Lingshan furrowed her brows, thought for a moment, and spoke softly, ”Cyan Ruo Sword House can head to Yunmeng Marsh first, and the Shen Family will wait until the spirit fully manifests before making a move.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming furrowed his brows.

But he immediately understood that Huang Lingshan’s suggestion was likely due to concern that the Golden Core forces in the Southern Border might act recklessly and target Yunshui City during this time.

If they dispatch everyone to Dang County, and Yunshui City is attacked, timely reinforcements might be impossible.

”Aunt is truly thorough in her considerations.”

”Let’s settle on this plan, and adjust as necessary if any changes occur.”

With this matter settled, Huang Lingshan and the other six didn’t delay further and headed directly to Yunzhong County City.

In the side room, only three members of the Shen Family remained.

Shen Chongming turned to Xu Zhan, who had been silent, and said, ”Tell us about your experiences.”

”Have you successfully cultivated the Impeccable Golden Body?”

Xu Zhan smiled, cupped his hands, and said, ”This time, it was sheer luck, causing concern for Senior Brother and Third Uncle, as well as everyone at home.”

He picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip before continuing.

”In recent years, I’ve frequently gone into seclusion to comprehend the method of cultivating the Impeccable Golden Body.”

”Whenever my seclusion yields no results, I feel anxious.”

”The more anxious I become, the less I seem to glean from my contemplation.”

He paused, a peculiar expression crossing his face, and continued, ”After coming out of seclusion a month ago, I intended to stroll around the city, but it seemed like some mystical guidance led me unconsciously.”
