Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 110 Power Building Plan
Seeing this, Yao Lin looked dejected.

She knew that this time, the Yai Shan Academy had completely lost face.

As the two recounted their experiences, the events of that day gradually became known to everyone present.

It turned out that when Shen Wen'an wanted to leave the mountain gate, Liu Hong took the lead in making things difficult for him, demanding that he produce the abbot's written order.

Shen Wen'an ignored him, which displeased the group, so they tried to stop him.

As a result, Liu Hong, a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, was defeated in one move by Shen Wen'an, who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, causing him to lose face in front of his many junior brothers.

Driven by murderous intent, he acted ruthlessly, intending to cripple Shen Wen'an.

At that time, Shen Wen'an was influenced by the sword spirit of the sword wielder, making him particularly sensitive to killing intent.

I just killed Liu Hong.

As for the others who had their arms severed and were seriously injured, they were all injured by a sword strike from Shen Wen'an when they tried to stop him.

After the matter became clear, Yun Zhongzi remained calm.

"Now that things have come to this, Liu Hong, a disciple of Yashan Academy, was killed, and he only has himself to blame."

"The other disciples have also been punished. After they recover from their injuries, they will go to the back mountain to reflect on their mistakes for three years."

"As for Shen Wen'an..." Yun Zhongzi glanced at Pei Zhao and said, "This boy is too bloodthirsty. If he is not properly disciplined, he may cause trouble in the future."

"He shall also be punished with three years of reflection."

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhao frowned deeply.

Beside Yun Zhongzi, Li Heshan cupped his hands and said, "Master, Junior Brother Shen was seriously injured when he discovered the ruins. His soul was damaged, and he is currently recuperating at home. We don't know when he will recover."

"Should we wait until he recovers before deciding on this punishment?"

Yun Zhongzi nodded slightly and agreed.

Upon seeing this, Pei Zhao swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

"Alright, let's leave this matter here. Fellow disciples and elders, it's time for us to discuss the matter of that ruin."

……

Hidden Cloud Courtyard.

Pei Zhao still harbored a lot of resentment after returning from the main hall of the sect.

"Uncle-Master Pei."

Li Heshan followed and arrived at Yinyun Courtyard, bowing respectfully.

Upon seeing him, Pei Zhao complained, "He Shan, why don't you plead for your junior brother?"

"Why should Wen An be punished as well when his disciple from Yai Shan Academy has made a mistake?"

"If they hadn't provoked us first, Wen An would never have gotten into any trouble during all these years at Yin Yun Academy!"

Li Heshan smiled wryly: "Uncle Pei, calm down. After all, someone from Yashan Academy has died."

"Besides... Junior Brother Shen's punishment is rather unnecessary."

Pei Zhao asked, somewhat puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"

Li Heshan sighed and asked in a deep voice, "Does Uncle Pei think it's necessary for Junior Brother Shen to return to Qiyun Valley?"

Pei Zhao frowned, thought about it carefully, and then gave a wry smile.

“That kid doesn’t practice the techniques of my Qiyun Valley. Even if he comes back, I won’t be able to guide him.”

"However... the spiritual energy in Yangnao Land is scarce, and if he stays there for too long, it will hinder his cultivation."

Li Heshan shook his head slightly and smiled, "My nephew went to the Shen family a few days ago."

“Yangnao Land is lacking in spiritual energy, but there are also some places where spiritual energy gathers. The place occupied by the Shen family is a good blessed land.”

"Although it can't compare to Qiyun Valley, it's still pretty good."

"Furthermore, if you, Uncle-Master, truly favor Junior Brother Shen, I, your junior nephew, am still willing to help bring him some resources."

"Once he reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, he can return. I believe his senior uncles and elders won't say anything then."

Pei Zhao was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"Good good!"

"He Shan, you're much more adaptable than your senior brother, the sect leader."

"This is a good thing!"

The current leaders of Qiyun Valley are too old-fashioned and stubborn. Pei Zhao, as the head of the academy, can only worry but can't do anything about it.

"Uncle-Master is joking."

Li Heshan cupped his hands and said, "Nephew, you will be returning to Yangnao tomorrow. Is there anything you would like to bring to Junior Brother Shen?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Wait a moment, I will go and make some preparations."

Li Heshan waited in Yinyun Courtyard for a while before seeing Pei Zhao come out, carrying an exquisite cloth bag in his hand.

"Everything is inside, and this storage bag was given to that kid as well."

Upon seeing this, Li Heshan asked in surprise, "If I remember correctly, Junior Sister Pei doesn't even have a storage bag yet. Aren't you afraid that Junior Sister Pei will be angry if you give Junior Brother Shen a storage bag this time?"

Pei Zhao waved his hand: "It's alright, it's alright, that girl isn't that petty."

"Go ahead and tell that kid to come visit me in Danzhou sometime."

Li Heshan bowed and left.

The Shen family of Heishuitan.

Li Heshan delivered the items and informed Shen Yuan that the matter had been resolved.

Shen Yuan was finally able to put his mind at ease.

Inside the Blackwater Pavilion, he brought the things Pei Zhao had sent to Shen Wen'an.

"Wen'an, Dean Pei is so fond of you. When you have time in the future, you should go back and visit him more often."

Shen Wen'an took the storage bag and nodded.

He took out the pills and spirit crystals from the storage bag, then thought for a moment and handed the storage bag back to Shen Yuan.

"Father, you can keep the storage bag."

"My son won't be going out anytime soon, so he won't need it."

Shen Yuan initially wanted to refuse, but considering how convenient it was to carry and how much trouble it would save in daily use, he put it away.

"I'll keep this for you for now, and return it to you when you need it later."

After leaving Blackwater Pavilion, Shen Yuan returned home and prepared to have his eldest brother go to Yunshui Town to invite Huang Qingzhou over.

Everything in Jinliu Village is back on track.

According to Shen Wenping's plan, every household in the village uses the manure composting method to grow crops and fruit trees.

He also passed on the method of brewing rice wine.

Now, several years later, Jinliu Village's rice wine, fruits, and rice have become famous in Anyang County.

The lives of the villagers gradually improved, and it was time to put the many previous plans on the agenda.

In the evening, Huang Qingzhou arrived at the manor.

The two brothers sat facing each other.

"How many blood toad remains have you collected in the past two years, brother?" Huang Qingzhou pondered for a moment and said, "About two thousand, but most of them are between ten and fifty years old. The best blood toad remains have been targeted by the powerful families of the prefecture. Those families that raise blood toads dare not sell them to us privately."

Shen Yuan nodded slightly.

This is also impossible.

With the arrival of immortals, the royal family became a mere shell of its former self, and all powerful families and factions realized the importance of cultivation.

The prices of some resources that are helpful for spiritual practice have increased several times over the past few years.

“Ah Yuan, I have an idea.”

Huang Qingzhou suddenly spoke up: "Could we raise some blood toads in the Blackwater Pool?"

Blood-nourishing toad?
Shen Yuan gently scraped the teacup, his mind involuntarily recalling the century-old blood toad remains he had obtained years ago.

The fact that a hundred-year-old blood toad can appear in Blackwater Pool proves that it is a suitable habitat for blood toads.

But the alligators in the pool are a problem.

Once the blood toads are raised, those alligator dragons will come out and wreak havoc, causing heavy losses.

Do we have to capture all those crocodiles?
The thought popped into Shen Yuan's mind, but he immediately dismissed it.

The Blackwater Pool was extremely deep, and he didn't know exactly how many alligators or dragons lived in it.

Putting aside the question of whether he could catch them all, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Blackwater Pool has been rising recently, so he doesn't want to exterminate all those crocodiles.

The best long-term solution is to keep them in the pond, allowing them to slowly absorb the spiritual energy from the water, and occasionally catch one to eat.

"Brother, do you know how those blood toads are bred?"

Shen Yuan asked.

He understood toads to be amphibians, unlike fish, which need to stay in the water all day.

If the blood toad is the same as a regular toad, then other methods can be used for its breeding.

Huang Qingzhou said, "It is similar to an ordinary toad, but I heard that it prefers shade and needs to be raised in a completely shady place."

Shen Yuan nodded; this problem is easy to solve.

So the two brothers began to discuss how to establish a breeding ground for blood toads outside the Blackwater Pool.

Huang Qingzhou suggested that they could seek guidance from experienced families later.

Given the Shen family's current reputation, they should be able to invite them.

After the two discussed raising the blood toads, Shen Yuan spoke up again: "Brother, I want to build a martial arts school next to this Blackwater Pool. Please help me teach the eligible villagers of Jinliu Village."

“My elder brother is now approaching forty, and his cultivation has been stuck at the peak of the Acquired Realm for quite some time.”

“This Blackwater Pool is a good place; it might even allow my brother to advance his cultivation level further.”

Huang Qingzhou was their in-law, and he had helped the Shen family a lot when they encountered difficulties in the past.

Now, both morally and logically, we should lend him a hand.

“Teaching the villagers is fine, but to advance their martial arts realm further…” Huang Qingzhou shook his head slightly.

He knew his own abilities.

At the age of forty, one has already passed the peak of vitality and energy; breaking through to a higher level is not so easy.

“Brother, don’t underestimate yourself.” Shen Yuan said with a smile, “Times have changed. The cultivation of immortality is all the rage now.”

As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket.

"Here are five Qi-Nourishing Pills. Please accept them, brother. You can try taking them after we bring them over later."

"Qi-Nourishing Pill?"

"An elixir given by an immortal?" Huang Qingzhou opened it with a look of surprise and smelled it.

The fragrance is wonderful and refreshing!
Shen Yuan nodded.

Shen Wen'an had brought back three bottles of Qi-Nourishing Pills before, and Li Heshan later gave him some more as gifts.

A few days ago, Wei Qiuling also gave twenty, and this time Pei Zhao had Li Heshan send over a hundred more.

With such a large quantity, he could take some out and share it with Huang Qingzhou.

After all, given the relationship between the two families, Huang Qingzhou's improved strength would also benefit the Shen family.

"Ah Yuan, could you give your elder brother two of these elixirs?"

"Put the cork in the bottle," Huang Qingzhou said.

Logically speaking, since Shen Yuan gave him this thing, he should have the right to dispose of it as he sees fit.

But Huang Qingzhou also understood that since this was something given by an immortal, it was best to ask about it.

"Naturally."

“However…” Shen Yuan took out another porcelain bottle: “I have already prepared one for Brother Yun Xiao.”

"Big brother has one too!?"

Huang Qingzhou looked at the porcelain bottle in disbelief.

Shen Yuan smiled.

“You and Brother Yunxiao took great care of us back then, and I will never forget you.”

"Besides, we're all family."

Upon hearing this, Huang Qingzhou felt grateful but also somewhat ashamed.

Looking back, when the Huang family was in power, all they could think about when facing the Shen family was value and gain.

Now that the situation has reversed, Shen Yuan's generosity makes him feel somewhat ashamed.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Ah Yuan, my two nephews are currently idle at home. Their cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm. After the martial arts school is built, do you think we should have them come and help?"

He was too busy teaching the villagers martial arts to handle the task himself.

Since we'll be recruiting martial arts practitioners anyway, it's better to find someone from our own family for peace of mind.

Shen Yuan hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Brother, you can arrange it as you see fit."

"Brother, you have been running the martial arts school for many years and are familiar with the craftsmen in town. I will need to trouble you to take care of the construction of the martial arts school."

Huang Qingzhou patted his chest and laughed, "It's nothing."

"Alright, I'll head back now. I'll have the craftsmen come over tomorrow or the day after."

After seeing Huang Qingzhou off, Shen Yuan stood at the courtyard gate with his hands behind his back, lost in thought.

In terms of immortal cultivation, martial arts is merely the Body Tempering Realm.

To cultivate and strengthen one's own power, one still needs some methods of immortal cultivation.

The breathing technique left behind by Xu Xiu is a good choice.

But the eldest brother said that Li Heshan had said that the Five Elements Breathing Method was incomplete.

There is no corresponding method for fetal breathing.

Right now, whether it's for my own cultivation or for the villagers of Jinliu Village in the future, we need a complete cultivation method.

It's estimated that it will be very difficult to find a complete breathing technique in the land of Yu Kingdom, so we must seek help from the Immortal Sect for this matter.
