Shenwu Yutianlei

"What do you think about the monster attacking the village?" Shen Yunduan was sitting on a chair. His eyes were steady and deep. He was the first to speak and start the conversation.

"Although Xihou Village is located between Liucheng and the Shiwan Mountains, there are no rare and valuable cultivation resources within a radius of fifty miles. What's more, the activities of the cultivators here are quite frequent. According to common sense, it should not attract monsters to come here. I think the monster attack on the village this time is not an accidental incident." Liu Yingyue frowned, her delicate face solemn, and said in a serious tone.

Li Xiangyuan, who was standing by, listened carefully. When Liu Yingyue finished speaking, he nodded in agreement and echoed, "I feel the same way. These monsters came too suddenly. It felt as if they were carefully organized and planned."

Liu Yingyue was silent for a moment, then paused for a moment before she spoke: "If all this is a plot set up by the mastermind, then what is their purpose in doing this? And why did they choose to attack the edge of this village?"

Shen Yun frowned slightly, his eyes were sharp, and he said thoughtfully: "Perhaps they want to lure us out, or to test our strength. But no matter what the situation is, we must not take it lightly."

Li Xiangyuan stroked his beard and fell into deep thought. After a while, he continued, "That's right. That's why I didn't take action immediately when the monster attacked. If someone with ulterior motives wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain and take advantage of the monster's attack to sneak in and attack the young master, it would be a loss."

"However," Liu Yingyue's tone was steady and firm, and she continued slowly, "In fact, there is a certain possibility that the monster was indeed attracted to this place."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Shen Yun turned to look at Liu Yingyue with a hint of doubt in his eyes, motioning her to continue.

"Husband, Senior Li, have you all forgotten? Husband had set up the spirit gathering formation here before." Liu Yingyue reminded softly, with a hint of reminder in her tone.

"Yes!" Li Xiangyuan reacted immediately after she reminded him. He analyzed clearly, "Since the gathering spirit formation was set up here, the spiritual energy in this world has become increasingly dense. The flowers and plants around are also stained with a trace of spiritual energy. Although they are not yet considered to be high-grade spiritual medicines, as long as they continue to be bathed in this rich spiritual energy over the years, it is very likely that they will transform into spiritual medicines in the future. After all, monsters are more sensitive to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth than humans. If you think about it from this perspective, this situation makes sense."

Yun nodded slightly, a look of approval on his face, and said slowly: "No matter which possibility it is, there is only one problem before us, and that is to enhance our own strength. As long as we have strong enough strength, whether it is a mouse hiding in the dark or a monster that comes to attack, we can easily kill them with one sword."

Hearing Shen Yun's words, Liu Yingyue's beautiful eyes flashed with determination, and she nodded slightly, indicating her full agreement. Li Xiangyuan beside her also nodded slightly, secretly admiring Shen Yun's wisdom and decisiveness.

Shen Yun's eyes were firm and sharp, and he continued, "So, instead of being in a passive defensive state, it is better to take the initiative. Since these monsters dare to attack us, we must be prepared to become our cultivation resources. Moreover, whether it is to maintain the safety of the market or to facilitate our team to go into the mountains to pick spiritual herbs, we must not allow too much danger to exist around Xihou Village."

"Husband, no matter what you plan to do, I will support you wholeheartedly and to the best of my ability." Liu Yingyue said softly, her tone firm and gentle, her eyes full of trust and affection for Shen Yun.

"Young Master, if there is a need for me to take action, I will definitely not hesitate and will do my best." Li Xiangyuan also did not hesitate at all. His words were concise and powerful, revealing his loyalty and support for Shen Yun.

"Yes, this is what I thought," Shen Yun nodded slightly, and then briefly described his general idea: "Zhou Ming will take on this important task, leading Wang Xuan, Zhao Peng, Sun Ling, and Lin Ying, and bringing 40 guards, who will be fully responsible for all security patrol-related matters; Han Lei, Xiao Yi, and Su Yong will each lead 20 guards to form three teams, mainly responsible for going out to hunt monsters, picking spiritual medicines and other matters. Senior Li, as the highest combat power, will be in the middle to coordinate at any time. As for Yingyue, the market is about to be completed, and you still need to pay more attention to the elixir."

"I don't have any problem here." Li Xiangyuan said with a smile and a calm tone.

"Husband, there is no problem on my side. I have already messaged my father and arranged for several trustworthy first-class alchemists from the family to come and help refine the pills. As long as there are enough spiritual medicines as a prerequisite, the supply of pills will not be a problem at all, and it will definitely not affect the normal operation of the market." Liu Yingyue's voice was crisp and pleasant, and her words revealed a sense of confidence and determination.

"That's good."

After Shen Yun finished speaking, he gently picked up the cup of spiritual tea that exuded a faint spiritual aura. He bent his fingers slightly and held it carefully in his hands. He brought the cup close to his mouth and gently blew away the hot steam on the surface. The fragrance of the tea instantly filled the air, refreshing his heart.

Then, Shen Yun tilted the cup slightly, letting the tea flow slowly into his mouth. He savored every drop of the tea, feeling the coolness and richness spreading in his mouth. The aroma of the tea lingered at the tip of his nose, lifting his spirits.

"Young Master, Zhou Ming wants to see you!" Zhou Ming's clear voice came from outside the yard.

"Come in!" Shen Yun responded loudly.

After a moment, Zhou Ming walked into the courtyard, bowed respectfully, and said in a loud voice: "Greetings to the young master, the young mistress, and Senior Li."

"No need to be polite, just get straight to the point." Shen Yun waved his hand casually.

Zhou Ming quickly replied, "Master, Lin Ying sent someone to report that the search team he led found traces of the monster."

"Oh? Good, there is news so soon. Tell me, what is the current situation." A hint of joy appeared on Shen Yun's face, and he secretly sighed in his heart that it was comfortable to have someone to do things for him. He only needed to sit at home and half of the work would be done.

"Young Master, according to the report sent by Lin Ying, the monsters that attacked the village this time are from the Soul-Devouring Demon Wolf clan. This group of Soul-Devouring Demon Wolves are numerous and extremely ferocious. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lin Ying and others did not dare to get too close, so they ordered people to come back and ask for instructions on what to do next." Zhou Ming's voice was solemn.
