Shenwu Yutianlei

Liu Yingyue smiled, gently picked up the teapot, and elegantly poured a cup of spiritual tea for Li Xiangyuan. Her eyes were sincere, and she said softly: "Senior Li, there is no need to doubt it. I was also shocked when I first learned about this."

Li Xiangyuan nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face, "In this way, everything will be easy. Staying away from Liucheng is indeed the best choice. It's me, Old Li, who is narrow-minded. I didn't expect that the young master has already had a lot of ideas and is able to make plans." His words revealed his admiration for the young master.

Shen Yun slowly put down the teacup in his hand, with a smile on his lips, and said sincerely: "Mr. Li, you are too polite. I will have to trouble you for your care in the future." His eyes were full of trust and expectations for Li Xiangyuan.

Li Xiangyuan replied respectfully, "Young Master, if you have any orders, I, Old Li, will do my best to fulfill them."

"In that case, I will start setting up the spirit gathering formation in the next period of time. What do you think about the location of the formation?" Shen Yun looked around at the two of them and asked.

Liu Yingyue didn't have much thought about this. She frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something, and didn't speak casually. However, Li Xiangyuan, who had traveled a lot in his youth, had rich experience and knowledge, and put forward some more constructive ideas.

Li Xiangyuan said solemnly: "Since the young master intends to build his own power, the Shen residence where he lives now is not suitable to continue to be his base. The Shen residence now has a large population, various affairs are complicated and trivial, and the personnel exchanges are mixed. Many matters will inevitably be disturbed in the process of handling, and neither privacy nor confidentiality can be fully guaranteed. Moreover, there are still unknown enemies hiding in the dark, watching covetously, so we should act more cautiously."

Shen Yun nodded when he heard this, and nodded slightly to signal Li Xiangyuan to continue.

Li Xiangyuan sipped his tea, pondered for a moment, and then continued, "In summary, what we need is a place that is spacious, quiet, and sufficiently hidden."

Shen Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this. He secretly thought to himself that Li Xiangyuan was indeed a veteran. He was able to rise from an ordinary casual cultivator, overcoming all difficulties and hardships, and finally successfully becoming a foundation-building cultivator. In addition to a little luck, this was also closely related to his keen insight into the situation and his meticulous way of doing things.

"Senior Li, do you have any preferences?" Liu Yingyue asked from the side.

Li Xiangyuan did not keep the secret and pointed to the back of the Shen Mansion.

"When I first arrived here, I walked around and observed the surrounding geography. The terrain around Xihou Village is relatively flat. There are no high mountains within a radius of fifty miles. There are mostly hills, plains, valleys and gullies. Within this range, the highest mountain is the Tianque Mountain behind us."

"This Tianque Mountain is quite interesting. According to the legend passed down from generation to generation by the villagers here, a long time ago, this Tianque Mountain was much higher than it is now. At that time, it was not called Tianque Mountain, but Tianque Mountain. The reason for this name is that there is a cliff behind the mountain. Looking up from the bottom, the mountain is like a sky, high and difficult to climb, hence the name.

One night, when everything was quiet, a villager went to relieve himself. He accidentally saw a colorful divine light falling from the sky, landing directly on the top of Tianque Mountain, followed by a loud rumbling sound. This sudden loud noise instantly woke up all the villagers, and everyone went out to check.

However, what was shocking was that the peak of Tianque Mountain had disappeared, and only a colorful bird could be clearly seen on the top of the mountain. The colorful bird must have been seriously injured, and it uttered a miserable and sad cry before falling down helplessly. Perhaps the sorrowful cry of the colorful bird moved the heavens, and the heavens sent down heavy rain, which lasted for several days.

The villagers were in awe and the continuous heavy rains made them dare not go up to check. It was not until a month later that a villager finally went up the mountain to check out the seven-colored bird because there was no movement. When they arrived at the top of the mountain, they found that the seven-colored bird had disappeared and only a deep pit was left. Due to the continuous heavy rains, the deep pit had been filled with rainwater and formed a lake.

In this way, the matter was left unresolved. However, since this incident shocked many villagers at the time, in order to commemorate this strange experience, they renamed the mountain Tianque Mountain.

"I didn't expect that there is such a magical story behind this simple mountain." Liu Yingyue couldn't help but sigh, her eyes revealing a hint of wonder and yearning, as if she was deeply attracted by this story.

Li Xiangyuan nodded and slowly took over the topic. "When I first heard this story, I was full of curiosity, so I went up the mountain to find out. Although I didn't find any trace of the seven-colored skybird in the end, which was a bit regrettable, it was not completely fruitless. The trees on this Skybird Mountain are towering, and the lush branches and leaves are like huge green umbrellas, blocking out the sky. There are huge rocks all over the mountain, some are rugged and abrupt, some are round and smooth, and their shapes are different. In addition, there is a vertical cliff behind the mountain, which is so steep that even ordinary birds find it difficult to cross. Its geographical environment can be said to be unique and charming."

He paused for a moment and continued, "It is worth mentioning that there is a lake on the top of the mountain. The water is as clear as a mirror, the water plants are lush, and the flowers on the lakeside are colorful. It is beautiful and pleasant, just like a paradise. If we can set up our base camp on Tianque Mountain, it will not only provide us with natural cover and good defensive advantages. It also has a wide field of vision, which makes it easy to monitor the surrounding dynamics, detect possible dangers in advance, and quickly respond."

Shen Yun nodded slightly, looked at Li Xiangyuan thoughtfully, and said: "Mr. Li is right, this mountain is indeed an ideal place."

Li Xiangyuan continued, "The air on the mountain is fresh and the environment is quiet, which is conducive to everyone's practice and recuperation. In addition, the young master intends to build a market around here. In the future, there will definitely be many cultivators coming and going here. If we build a spirit gathering array in the current mansion, the spiritual energy fluctuations will be too great, which will easily attract the covetousness of others, which is not in line with the young master's current ideological policy of making a fortune without making a fuss."

Shen Yun's eyes flashed with joy, and he said, "It is true that an old man in the family is like a treasure. In this case, as Elder Li said, we should start preparations as soon as possible and move the base camp to the top of the mountain. But this matter still needs careful planning to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Liu Yingyue smiled and said, "I believe that with Mr. Li's assistance, this matter will surely proceed smoothly."

After the three of them continued to communicate some specific details, Li Xiangyuan said goodbye and left.
