Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 80 Auspicious Hexagram
Where did all these things come from?

“The disciples of Qiyun Valley receive a monthly stipend,” Shen Wen’an replied. “The array plate and talisman were obtained from my master.”

Shen Yuan frowned slightly after hearing this.

He has already reached the first level of Qi Refining and can clearly sense that his son has been cultivating in the Immortal Sect for more than a year, but has not yet broken through to the Qi Refining stage.

"You can keep the cultivation resources provided by the sect for yourself; don't worry about your family."

Although he had never met a Celestial Sect, he knew that when a powerful force invests heavily in training newcomers, it is because they value the potential of these newcomers and the value they will have when they grow up.

Now that Shen Wen'an is saving these cultivation resources, he can't improve his cultivation level.

Shen Yuan worried that one day Qiyun Valley might think his son had no value for development and thus neglect him.

"Don't worry, Father, I'm using it."

Shen Wen'an smiled, a rare occurrence, and asked, "Big brother hasn't returned?"

"Still at the Shengxian Pavilion in the county."

"It's getting late, so we can only wait until tomorrow to send someone to inform him."

Mentioning Shen Wenxing reminded Shen Yuan of his second brother, Shen Wenyan, and he immediately looked at Shen Wenping and said, "Girl, go to the backyard and call your second brother. Tell him that Wen'an has returned."

Shen Wenping reluctantly gave an "oh".

A moment later, Shen Wenyan hurriedly came from the backyard.

When the two brothers met, they both smiled knowingly.

After dinner, Xu Xiu came over for a visit.

Upon entering the courtyard, I immediately spotted Shen Wen'an, who had just returned.

"Young Master Shen, who is this...?"

"My son Wen'an entered the Immortal Sect to cultivate two years ago, and now he has happened to return."

Immortal Sect...

A burning glint flashed in Xu Xiu's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

"The Immortal Sect is good! The Immortal Sect is good!"

"If I had known about the existence of the Immortal Sect years ago, I might still have had a chance."

Shen Yuan frowned slightly upon hearing his words.

"Hehe..." Xu Xiu chuckled dryly, then changed the subject, "Young friend, did you return alone this time?"

Shen Wen'an remained silent, as if he hadn't heard.

The scene was a little awkward, so Shen Yuan quickly tried to smooth things over by laughing and saying, "Please forgive me, sir. This child has never been talkative since he was little, and he's always been indifferent to me and his mother."

"It's alright, it's alright." Xu Xiu waved his hand with a smile.

Shen Wen'an, who was standing to the side, had already picked up the long sword beside him and walked towards the backyard.

Xu Xiu watched his figure disappear, a hint of disappointment appearing in his eyes. Afterwards, he could only chat with Shen Yuan in a casual manner.

After chatting for half an hour, he got up to say goodbye.

Just as Shen Yuan was getting ready to wash up and go to bed, Shen Wen'an came looking for him again.

"That old man is not a good person."

Hearing this, Shen Yuan asked curiously, "How do you know?"

Shen Wen'an's gaze was indifferent: "His intentions are impure."

Impure intentions?
Shen Yuan smiled and said, "You can see through his thoughts?"

Shen Wen'an shook his head: "It's a feeling."

"Father, you must be careful of him in the future."

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yuan nodded: "Father understands, go to sleep."

At night, lying on his bed, Shen Yuan was still thinking about his son's words.

"what happened?"

Seeing him frown in thought, Hu Yufen asked.

Shen Yuan turned to the side and relayed Shen Wen'an's assessment of Xu Xiu.

"Can't you?"

"I don't think Uncle Xu has any bad intentions."

Shen Yuan sighed: "You can know a person's face but not their heart; it's hard to say."

"However, one should not have the intention to harm others, but one should not be without the intention to guard against others; just be careful."

Hu Yufen nodded slightly, then looked up with a hint of excitement and said, "I think I've been able to sense the power of qi and blood that you mentioned these past few days."

"Just when you want to grasp it, it suddenly disappears. Do you think... I might be imagining things?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan's face lit up with joy.

"Shi Tou said this is called the Qi Sensing Realm, you're not mistaken." "It seems you're about to break through to the Acquired Realm."

Hu Yufen was very happy to hear this.

She wasn't particularly interested in cultivation to begin with, but as she grew older and her husband became stronger, she could clearly feel that she couldn't keep up with him in their intimate relationship and couldn't satisfy Shen Yuan.

Having been forced to consume a Qi-Nourishing Pill and a Body-Tempering Pill recently, she felt that if she didn't make progress, she would be letting down the two precious pills.

"Spend more time cultivating these next few days and try to break through to the Acquired Realm as soon as possible."

Stroking her hair, Shen Yuan spoke.

The Acquired Realm grants a lifespan of 150 years; taking this step is a great achievement.

"it is good."

Hu Yufen responded gently.

As midnight approached, Shen Yuan habitually glanced at the white jade tortoise shell in his sea of ​​consciousness.

[The divination result has been updated!]

[Today's Divination - Very Auspicious]: The rogue cultivator Xu Xiu possesses a great secret. If he can be introduced to a celestial sect, there is a chance to obtain his secret, which will greatly benefit the development of the family.

Another auspicious hexagram!

Shen Yuan sat up excitedly!

He had forgotten how long it had been since he had seen a "very auspicious" hexagram.

This time, the "auspicious" divination result was actually related to Xu Xiu.

Considering his son's earlier statement that Xu Xiu had "impure intentions," Shen Yuan fell into deep thought.

The divination indicates that Xu Xiu should be introduced to the Immortal Sect...

It seems the old man did indeed lie to me.

He had previously said that his time was coming to an end and that he had lost the will to compete.

Following this line of thought, Shen Yuan understood many things.

Xu Xiu disappeared for seven years, and he chose this time to return to Blackwater Pool to find him.

They must have heard outside that their son had joined a celestial sect.

He was a rogue cultivator who relied solely on the breathing technique left behind by the old immortal to cultivate to his current level.

Now we've hit a bottleneck, perhaps because we lack guidance or resources, making it difficult to move forward any further.

The reason why Lao Yao said that he had "impure intentions" was probably because he approached him again with the aim of trying to enter the Immortal Sect by taking advantage of Shen Wen'an.

Although this move was driven by self-interest, it did not harm the interests of the Shen family.

It seems I'll have to find a way to persuade the youngest son tomorrow to introduce Xu Xiu to the Immortal Sect.

On the one hand, it can repay the kindness of the past, and on the other hand, as the divination said, it can try to get that big secret from Xu Xiu.

The next morning.

When Shen Yuan got up, he heard the sound of swords whistling in the backyard.

After hesitating for a moment, he went to the backyard.

"Wen'an".

Shen Wen'an withdrew his sword stance and looked at him curiously.

"Dad has something he wants to discuss with you."

Shen Wen'an didn't say anything, but slowly walked up to him.

"Do you still remember the breathing technique your father taught you?"

"Actually, it was given to us by Xu Xiu back then. Our Shen family owes him a favor."

"He is a rogue cultivator, and at this age, all he wants is to advance further."

"Father has thought about this for a long time and hopes you can help him out, as a way of repaying the kindness he showed back then. What do you think?"

Shen Wen'an pondered for a moment and then asked, "How can we help him?"

Shen Yuan said, "Father wants you to beg your master to take him to the Immortal Sect when you return."

"What happens next depends on his fate. If he's lucky enough to advance further, we'll have made the acquaintance of a powerful figure."

"Even if he doesn't get what he wants, at least he'll get to see the world where the immortals live."

Shen Wen'an thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "I understand."

"I will tell Master when he returns."

"Nothing else, son is going to cultivate."

Shen Yuan nodded, feeling relieved.

Now that the son has been persuaded, it's time to tell Xu Xiu the good news and see what his big secret is.
