Shenwu Yutianlei

Shen Yun waved his hand, motioning for the two to take a seat, and then asked with a puzzled look on his face: "May I know your name, young lady, and what brings you here?"

"My surname is Chu, and I come from the Chu family in Lingyuan County. I came here today specifically to discuss a business matter with Mr. Shen." Chu Qianqian replied softly, her voice clear and pleasant.

Before Shen Yun could respond, Li Xiangyuan at the side spoke first, with a hint of surprise and curiosity in his tone: "But is it the Chu family, the only family in Lingyuan County?"

The old servant beside Chu Qianqian rolled his eyes when he heard this and said unhappily: "You old man are really interesting. Could it be that there are two Chu families in the whole Lingyuan County?" Then, the old servant raised his voice and continued: "The one in front of you is my Chu family's beloved ninth lady, Chu Qianqian." The old servant's words were full of protection and pride for Chu Qianqian.

Li Xiangyuan did not show an angry look on his face, but smiled, then bowed and said, "It turned out to be Miss Nine in person, I am disrespectful. It is said that the ancestor of the Chu family is a Jindan master with extraordinary strength, who can fly into the sky and hide in the ground, and can open mountains with one hand. I have admired him for a long time. I never thought that I would have the honor to meet the descendants of the Chu family today."

Li Xiangyuan's conversation was not simply to compliment the other party, but to let Shen Yun know the other party's background through dialogue. This would also make it easier for Shen Yun to not be too passive in subsequent conversations.

"You old man do have some knowledge. Yes, the ancestor of my Chu family had already entered the Golden Core stage a hundred years ago. Now, there are more than one person in my Chu family who has reached the Golden Core stage." The old servant raised his chin and said with pride on his face.

Seeing this, Chu Qianqian quickly said, "Aunt Lian." There was a hint of helplessness in her tone, as if she was trying to stop the old servant from continuing.

"Please forgive me, Mr. Shen. My Aunt Lian was just speaking her mind and she meant no harm." Chu Qianqian turned to Shen Yun and explained apologetically, her beautiful eyes full of sincerity.

"Miss Chu, you are too polite. Please have some tea." Just then, a servant came forward with a cup of carefully brewed tea. The fragrance of the tea was so fragrant that it made people feel refreshed. The few people just took this opportunity to interrupt the topic, and the atmosphere eased a little.

"I heard that Young Master Shen has been searching for books on formations recently. It was a coincidence that I happened to get a preliminary explanation of formations. I have the good fortune to meet Young Master Shen here today, so I will give it to him." Chu Qianqian said, and waved her hand. A jade slip appeared in her hand, and then she gently pushed it towards Shen Yun.

However, Shen Yun did not immediately reach out to take it. Instead, he smiled and said, "Miss Chu is thoughtful, but this first solution to the formation must be of extraordinary value. I have been searching for it for many days but have not been able to find it. Miss, you have just met me, and you have given me such a precious thing. Although I really want it, I dare not accept it easily. Moreover, I also understand that pie will not fall from the sky for no reason. Why don't we be frank and speak frankly, what exactly do you want when you come here this time?"

Chu Qianqian was not annoyed when she saw Shen Yun did not accept the jade slip. She looked at Shen Yun and said slowly, "Since Brother Shen has said so much, I will not hide it from you. I came here this time to seek cooperation with you."

"Oh, cooperation?" Shen Yun raised his eyebrows slightly puzzled and looked at Chu Qianqian.

"Yes, Brother Shen, you don't know that the current head of our Chu family, that is, my grandfather, successfully broke through to the Golden Core Realm a month ago. As a result, the position of the head of the family is vacant and no one has taken over for the time being. Brother Shen should know that once a cultivator breaks through to the Golden Core Realm, he is no longer suitable to be the head of the family and will continue to be disturbed by worldly affairs."

Shen Yun nodded in agreement.

Chu Qianqian paused and continued, "So, the head of the family summoned my father and five uncles and set a rule. The time limit is three years. Whoever can make a greater contribution to the family during these three years will be eligible to inherit the position of head of the family. But there is no clear regulation on what kind of contribution to make. Generating income for the family, cultivating peerless talents for the family, or finding treasures for the family can all be counted as contributions. Because of this, all the brothers and sisters of my Chu family were scattered to various cities and counties, trying to find opportunities for their fathers to compete for the position of head of the family. And I came to the territory of Liucheng with Aunt Lian." Chu Qianqian explained in detail.

After Shen Yun heard this, he was a little confused and said helplessly: "So the girl came to me?"

"Not bad," Chu Qianqian nodded.

"To be honest, young lady, although I was born in the direct lineage of the Shen family in Liucheng, I have basically no status in the Shen family, and I cannot interfere with any decision of the Shen family. This is no secret, and you can find out by asking anyone in Liucheng. I'm afraid you have found the wrong person and your trip will be in vain. Although this "Introduction to the Way of Formations" is indeed very tempting, it is destined to be out of reach for me." Shen Yun said with a look of regret on his face.

Chu Qianqian didn't care and continued, "Why should Young Master Shen belittle himself? When I first came to Liucheng, I visited everywhere and heard about Young Master Shen. When I first came here, I valued the geographical location of this place. Shiwan Mountain is a natural treasure house. There are many cultivators coming and going here every day. Where there are people, there will be demand. With the establishment of the market, more and more cultivators will flow here, and even stay here to make a living. The daily cultivation needs of these cultivators alone are an astronomical figure. Young Master Shen is far-sighted and one step ahead of others by opening a market here regardless of the investment. Just based on this point, Young Master Shen is far superior to ordinary people."

Shen Yun did not reply immediately after hearing this. Instead, he picked up the spiritual tea and took a sip. "Miss Chu, my Shen family started out as a business family and has gained a foothold in Liucheng. As a member of the Chu family, I know a little bit about business, but it is not enough. What you just said does not seem to explain anything."

"What Master Shen said is true. This alone doesn't mean anything, so I originally only planned to meet Master Shen and then make plans." Chu Qianqian continued to explain calmly, "But the moment I stepped into Tianque Mountain, I decided that I must cooperate with Master Shen."

"Oh?" Shen Yun expressed some curiosity.

"This has to start with the formation. Although I am not talented, I have some knowledge. The formation on Tianque Mountain has a defensive formation outside. Although I don't know what kind of formation it is, I think it must be extraordinary. After entering the formation, I can clearly feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surging. Even for cultivators like me in the Foundation Establishment Realm, it will be of great benefit to practice here. I think there must be a spirit gathering formation here. In addition, Young Master Shen has been searching for formation books everywhere in recent days, so I boldly guess that Young Master Shen is the one who set up the formation."

Shen Yun didn't expect that the woman in front of him could think of so much just by some clues. If this woman was his enemy, thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Shen Yun's eyes.
