Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 165 Exchange of Interests
Shen Yuan saw a figure within the light emanating from the deep blue pearl; it was none other than his son, who had disappeared many years ago.

Unfortunately, he was now just a wisp of divine consciousness drawn to him by the white jade tortoise shell through unknown means, and could not control the movement of his perspective. He could only watch helplessly as Shen Wenyan and another woman were carried away by the azure pearl and flew towards the distant mountains.

call--

The mountains and starry sky before my eyes rushed past!

When Shen Yuan woke up again, he was already back on the recliner in the backyard.

He suddenly woke up and got up to look into the distance.

"Is that Danzhou?"

Shen Wenyan went to Danzhou, and his divine sense saw him in that mountain forest. Shen Yuan felt that the place was most likely Danzhou, where the major immortal sects were located.

Just thinking about the four ferocious beasts and the three terrifying human cultivators, and their greed for the Female Yuan Hui Pearl, immediately filled him with deep worry.

Those four demonic beasts and three human cultivators were too powerful.

Shen Yuan guessed that they must be the most powerful beings in the entire Danzhou.

He didn't know why Shen Wenyan was involved with that magical female Yuanhui Pearl, but the situation was extremely dangerous.

Standing alone in the courtyard, pondering for a long time, Shen Yuan withdrew his thoughts and immersed his consciousness into his sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, the mist that had been swirling around the white jade tortoise shell had dissipated, and a new hexagram had appeared.

The secrets of fate are shrouded in mystery, and the destiny of family member Shen Wenyan is about to change.

It's unclear whether his level of understanding is too low, or whether Shen Wenyan's fate involves things of too high a level, but recently, whenever the divinations involve him, they are all like this.

As his consciousness shifted away from the hexagram, Shen Yuan noticed the red and white vortex at the edge of the white jade tortoise shell.

During his trip to Danzhou, Bai Yu Gui Jia risked his life to secretly absorb a significant amount of energy from the Female Yuan Hui Pearl, right in front of so many powerful figures.

Now, the entire white jade tortoise shell seems to have undergone some special changes.

The red and white vortexes became even deeper in color, and now they were slowly rotating on the white jade tortoise shell.

Shen Yuan noticed that one of the patterns on the white jade tortoise shell was slowly lighting up as the red and white vortexes slowly rotated.

This bizarre phenomenon suddenly gave him a strange idea.

The red and white vortex was like a miniature generator, and the electricity generated by its rotation was slowly illuminating the patterns on the tortoise shell!

What's the use of this thing?

While he was puzzled, his gaze fell on the "destiny symbol" on the other side of the tortoise shell.

The power of that talisman is to change the fate of a family member; it is something that can save a family member's life.

Could it be that, as time goes by, this red and white vortex will be able to light up another life talisman?
Staring at the white jade tortoise shell for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and withdrew his divine sense.

early morning.

When Shen Wenxing walked over from the front yard, Shen Yuan was lying quietly on the recliner, thinking about what happened last night.

Seeing his preoccupied expression, Shen Wenxing cupped his hands and asked, "Father, is something on your mind?"

Shen Yuan sat up and pointed to the stool next to him.

After Shen Wenxing sat down, he said, "When you were dealing with those disciples of the immortal sects, did you ever hear of a city in Danzhou called Cangmang City?"

Shen Wenxing frowned, pondered for a long time, and then shook his head: "I don't remember. How would Father know about such a city?"

"Should we go and ask Fairy Wei and the others?"

Shen Yuan smiled and shook his head, then said solemnly, "During this time, you should inquire with the disciples of the Immortal Sect about the major events happening in Danzhou. If you have any news, come and tell me immediately."

Cangmang City was something he heard about from the old man riding the giant wine gourd last night.

The reason for asking Shen Wenxing this time was to confirm again whether the magical journey last night was indeed in Danzhou.

Since the disciples of the Immortal Sect haven't mentioned it, there's no need to ask them specifically.

Otherwise, how could a Qi-cultivating family residing in Yangnao Land know about the affairs of Danzhou City? That requires further explanation.

"What exactly is it about?"

Shen Wenxing was somewhat suspicious; he always felt that his father was acting strangely.

"It's just a major matter. Once you get the news, just tell me."

The commotion caused by the Female Yuan Hui Pearl is definitely a major event in the cultivation world of Danzhou, and those immortal sects couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

"Alright, if you see any disciples of the Immortal Sect there, just ask them."

After bowing, Shen Wenxing said, "There's something I'm unsure about, and I'd like to ask Father for his advice."

In recent years, he has almost stopped bothering Shen Yuan with matters big and small in the clan. Now that he is saying this, he must have really encountered a thorny issue.

"Tell me."

Shen Yuan sat up straight and looked at him.

Shen Wenxing pondered for a moment and said, "The He family and the Zhang family of Yingchuan have recently had several conflicts. The Suihuo Sect, which has always kept a low profile behind the Zhang family of Yingchuan, seems to be becoming more active recently."

"I always felt that there was some kind of conspiracy involved."

"I plan to meet with the major immortal sects behind Jinghe Market in the next few days, and join forces with Luoxia Mountain to put pressure on the Suihuo Sect. What do you think?"

After listening, Shen Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think the Firefly Sect's actions are related to Hundred Beast Mountain?"

Shen Wenxing nodded.

"The reason why Hundred Beasts Mountain is targeting the Shen family is simply because they fear that Falling Clouds Mountain and the He family will come to their aid."

"The Flint Sect and the Zhang family behind it are naturally the targets they want to win over."

"By relying on the Fire Sect and the Zhang family to hold back Luoxia Mountain and the He family, our Shen family has lost a major external ally."

This is the only explanation he can think of these days.

After considering all this, he also worried that Hundred Beast Mountain might take this opportunity to incite the Western Wilderness Barbarians to launch an even bigger attack against the Shen family.

How much do you know about the Flint Church?

Shen Yuan asked in a deep voice.

The fact that Hundred Beasts Mountain could persuade the Fireball Cult to take action is indeed a rather thorny issue for the Shen family.

Once Mount Luoxia and the He family are both overwhelmed, it will be difficult for the Shen family to withstand the entire Western Wilderness Barbarian tribe on their own.

"To be honest, Father, not only do I not know much about the Fire Sect, but even Fairy Wei and the others seem to know very little about it." "It seems that the Fire Sect is inherited from a more powerful immortal sect, and is a branch of that powerful immortal sect in Danzhou."

"There's more to it than that, Fairy Wei didn't say."

Shen Yuan sighed softly after hearing this.

"If even Mount Luoxia doesn't know much about it, other immortal sects probably don't know much about the Suihuo Sect either."

"I think that even if you bring this up, other immortal sects may not agree."

At this point, he suddenly chuckled.

"Don't be fooled by the youth of the leaders of the major immortal sects; they are all shrewd and can clearly calculate the gains and losses."

In the present-day Yangnao Land, apart from the Shen family and Hundred Beasts Mountain, the major immortal sects only have minor conflicts.

Disciples of the Immortal Sect rarely participate in battles themselves.

If we really take action against the Fire Sect this time, it could easily trigger a bloodbath between the immortal sects.

Without substantial enough benefits, merely a few spiritual fields and some territory are not enough to entice the immortal sects like the Vajra Sect.

"Then what should we do now?"

Shen Wenxing said with a worried expression.

Shen Yuan smiled faintly: "If Hundred Beasts Mountain can find external allies to form alliances, then my Shen family can certainly find external allies to form counter-alliances."

"A few days ago, Wen An went to the Western Wilderness and rescued many women and children from the barbarians there, didn't he?"

"Those women and children were stolen from Fengxian County by the barbarian tribes of the Western Wilderness, weren't they?"

Shen Wenxing was taken aback at first, then said, "Father means we should join forces with Qiyun Valley?"

"only……"

Shen Wenxing hesitated for a moment and said, "If Wen'an were still a disciple of Qiyun Valley, there would be no problem in inviting Qiyun Valley to join forces this time."

"But now, I'm afraid Qiyun Valley won't agree so easily."

Shen Yuan nodded, stood up from the recliner, paced back and forth a few steps, and said with a solemn expression, "This matter is indeed not easy to accomplish."

"But there are already many frictions between them, and you need to explain the pros and cons to Li Heshan."

“Tell him that if the Shen family is gone, then when the Hundred Beasts Mountain and the Western Wilderness Barbarians attack Fengxian County again, they will have no worries.”

"In addition, we should also give up some benefits so that Qiyun Valley can see the advantages."

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for the Shen family. If a way to break the deadlock cannot be found as soon as possible, the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it will be for the Shen family.

"Interests..." Shen Wenxing frowned and pondered for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything the Shen family could offer.

Spirit rice and spirit crystals are crucial resources for cultivators in the clan to improve their strength. Giving them away would severely slow down the clan's own progress.

Besides these things...

"What does Father think of the Azure Spirit Stone?!" Shen Wenxing suddenly asked.

Shen Yuan smiled and nodded.

The Qingling Stone vein in the mountains is now being mined jointly by the Shen family and Luoxia Mountain.

In the past, the Shen family always kept only about 10% of the mined Qingling Stones, and gave the rest to Luoxia Mountain.

After meeting with Hundred Beasts Mountain in Anyang City and witnessing Shen Wen'an become a sword cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm, Wei Qiuling also mentioned that the profits from the Light Spirit Stone mine could be split 60/40 between Luoxia Mountain and the Shen family.

This means that the Shen family only needs to be responsible for mining, while the rest can be handed over to Luoxia Mountain, and they can receive 40% of the profits.

The Azure Spirit Stone is not the most urgent thing for the Shen family right now; they need to go through a process of selling it in exchange for Spirit Crystals.

"Go find Fairy Wei first and explain this to her."

"If Fairy Wei agrees, then go find Li Heshan and take him to see the Qingling Stone mine."

"If giving up 20% of the Azure Spirit Stone mine can get Qiyun Valley and Fengxian County to help, then it's not too bad."

"The bottom line is 30%, it all depends on whether Li Heshan still values ​​this friendship."

After pondering for a long time, Shen Wenxing cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

"I will go to Yunzhong County to find Fairy Wei now."

The situation in the mountains is not optimistic. Shen Chongming at the front has sent word that he and Zhao Tuan are trying to hold off the Western Wilderness barbarian cultivators, relying on the mountainous terrain to slowly erode and deplete their numbers.

But this matter probably won't drag on for long.

If there are no results in a long time, and Hundred Beasts Mountain reacts, the Shen family will be in danger.

……

Yunzhong County City.

Upon hearing Shen Wenxing's words, Wei Qiuling showed a hint of apology on her face.

"Please forgive me, Brother Shen. Qiu Ling said last time that she would have the He family and my disciples from Luoxia Mountain stationed in Anyang City so that they could provide assistance to the Shen family at any time."

"It is unknown how Hundred Beasts Mountain reached a consensus with the Flintfire Cult, which led them to launch attacks on Yunzhong County with all their might."

"Luoxia Mountain simply cannot spare any resources, nor can it escalate the situation; it can only be restrained."

Shen Wenxing waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Fairy Wei, you are too kind. I understand the situation of Luoxia Mountain. That's why I thought of exchanging the Qingling Stone mine for Qiyun Valley's help."

Wei Qiuling nodded: "Spirit fields are scarce in the Western Wilderness. The Hundred Beasts Mountain has always been domineering and has been eyeing the spirit fields of Fengxian County."

"However, those seniors in Qiyun Valley are probably not easy to deal with, and Li Heshan can't make any major decisions right now."

Wei Qiuling paused for a moment, then said after a moment's thought, "How about this, Qiuling will accompany Brother Shen to Fengxian County."

"Although my Luoxia Mountain cannot spare the manpower to help the Shen family, we can offer something that will tempt Qiyun Valley and persuade them to take action."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing showed a look of gratitude and hurriedly cupped his hands, saying, "I am truly humbled by the great kindness of Luoxia Mountain."

Wei Qiuling smiled faintly: "True friendship is revealed in times of adversity. The Shen family are friends of Luoxia Mountain, and now that they are in trouble, we will do our best to help them."

"Brother Shen, let's go."

Wei Qiuling patted the storage bag at her waist and took out a flying shuttle from it.
