Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

The two of them were startled and immediately ignored the Dragon Blood Vine in front of them, quickly flashing toward the direction of the scream.

When they arrived, they saw a figure dressed in a large hemp robe, with white beard and hair, slowly loosening his grip and throwing a corpse to the side.

Having killed the cultivator from the Tribulation Fire Sect and using a secret technique to search his memory, Xu Xiu slowly turned around and smiled slightly at Shen Wen’an: ”Little one, we meet again.”

Seeing Xu Xiu, Shen Wen’an’s expression flickered in confusion.

Although he had long guessed Xu Xiu’s identity, it was the first meeting since the other left the Shen Family.

Seeing Shen Wen’an didn’t bow to him, Xu Xiu didn’t mind.

He knew that years ago this little fellow didn’t like him and secretly accused him of having ”impure intentions” for approaching the Shen Family.

”Is your father doing well?”

Xu Xiu still smiled as he spoke.

But before Shen Wen’an could answer, Xu Xiu suddenly chuckled: ”I’ve forgotten, this isn’t a place for conversation.”

”You wait here.”

As he spoke, Xu Xiu suddenly made a spell gesture.

In the next moment, Shen Wen’an and Xu Zhan suddenly felt the entire Dragon-slaying Valley tremble slightly, and their surroundings changed.

When they reacted, they found themselves in a small courtyard outside the valley.

Along with them were Huang Lingshan, Liu Qixuan, and others from Cyan Ruo Sword House, totaling six people.

Huang Lingshan and the others looked around in confusion, their eyes filled with shock and perplexity.

”The matters within the valley are resolved, and I won’t waste energy erasing your memories.”

”But you’d better not reveal the existence of Dragon-slaying Valley, or the consequences will be beyond your endurance.”

Xu Xiu glanced at everyone and spoke indifferently.

Looking at him, Huang Lingshan and the others roughly understood that this was undoubtedly another Nascent Soul True Monarch, and his power and status were likely higher than the old man next to him dressed in a Plain Gauze Immortal Robe.

After all, the old man’s demeanor was exceptionally reserved right now.

”I’ll send you out first, Wen’an, stay here and chat with me.”

As Xu Xiu spoke again, he waved his hand, releasing a spirit light that carried Xu Zhan and the six from Huang Lingshan out of the Dragon-slaying Valley.

After there were only three people left in the courtyard, Xu Xiu slowly walked to the pavilion and waved to produce two cushions.

”Sit.”

Shen Wen’an cupped his hands and sat cross-legged on the cushion opposite the table.

Xu Xiu picked up the spirit tea brewed by Feng Jingyang, pouring for himself and Shen Wen’an.

As for Feng Jingyang, the Nascent Soul True Monarch, he stood quietly behind Xu Xiu, with no high and mighty posture.

”Do you have many questions in your heart?”

”Since we’ve met today, ask away.”

”Whatever I can tell you, I will.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Wen’an frowned slightly.

He didn’t know why Xu Xiu was being so generous today.

Could it be that everything in Yangnao Land had become settled, giving him absolute confidence in controlling the whole situation?

Meeting his gaze, Shen Wen’an suppressed the doubts within his heart, slightly cupped his hands and said: ”Are you the Great Prosperity True Monarch?”

The teacup Xu Xiu held to his mouth paused slightly, then he nodded with a faint smile: ”In a way.”

He took a sip of tea, then put the teacup down with a somewhat melancholic expression.

”Years ago, I suffered severe injuries and had no choice but to hide in Hidden Dragon Mountain and enter seclusion, waiting for an opportunity.”

”Then a common soldier named Xu Xiu stumbled into my secluded place and woke me.”

”When I awoke, I found my physical body completely decayed. If he hadn’t awakened me, my Nascent Soul within would have slowly dissipated in that illusion.”

”At that time, I urgently needed a body for the Nascent Soul to reside in, but that commoner’s body was of a No Spiritual Root, a lower constitution.”

He paused, then suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly: ”Though a dignified Half-Step Divinity Transformation, skilled in strategy all my life, I nearly perished due to the exhaustion of my body’s lifespan—it is quite laughable.”

Shen Wen’an suddenly understood.

So this old fellow was compelled to seize a body lacking a spiritual root back then.

No wonder he could only vaguely feel the other’s impure intentions without detecting any other anomalies.

”Then what was your purpose in approaching my Shen Family back then?”

”With your identity, there should have been better choices in Yangnao Land at that time.”

In his view, after the body seizure, Xu Xiu should have immediately sought a powerful mortal force to help him find cultivation resources in the spiritual qi-deprived Yangnao Land, and quickly improve his cultivation.

Yet at the time, the Shen Family was merely an insignificant farming household in Yunshui Town.

Xu Xiu chuckled upon hearing this: ”The difficulties I faced at the time couldn’t be solved by a tiny bit of cultivation resources.”

”Wanting to achieve peak again with a No Spiritual Root body was impossible, even if I was previously a Half-Step Divinity Transformation.”

”Approaching the Shen Family was because of the Shen Family’s destiny.”

”I traveled throughout Yangnao Land back then and found that only the Shen Family’s destiny might help me pull through the disaster.”

Xu Xiu took another sip of tea and smiled faintly: ”As it turned out, the Shen Family’s destiny was better than I imagined.”

”After entangling with the Shen Family, it took me less than a hundred years to recover to peak.”

Shen Wen’an thought for a moment and looked at him.

”So, is this the reason why you have been taking care of my Shen Family?”

Xu Xiu nodded.

”The karma owed to the Shen Family is too significant, I have no choice but to repay it.”
