Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 479: Chapter 222: Expanding Territories

Huang Lingshan’s words left Shen Wen’an somewhat puzzled.

”Senior Sister, what is this Li Palace Bing Fire Refining Form Technique?”

Just by the name, it seemed the mysterious metal block contained a Cultivation Technique.

But Huang Lingshan had previously said that the relic site of the Divine Fire Pit was a place where Artifact Refiners from the Danzhou Immortal Dynasty stored Magical Artifacts.

Could it be an Artifact Refining Technique?

Huang Lingshan thought for a moment and said, ”You only need to know that it’s something good, beneficial for both me and your Shen Family in the future.”

”Let’s go, I’ll take you somewhere.”

Hearing this, Shen Wen’an looked a bit odd but didn’t continue asking, silently following her as they flew into the distance.

...

Yunshui City.

Xu Zhan stood respectfully in front of Shen Wenxing, holding a brand new booklet in his hands.

”Master, this is something I comprehended from my own mind. It seems to be a Cultivation Technique, please have a look.”

Hearing this, Shen Wenxing looked somewhat surprised.

Gazing at the handsome young man before him, he smiled and said, ”This is your personal opportunity, no need to offer it to me.”

Shen Wenxing had a rough idea that this so-called Cultivation Technique was probably a result of the abnormal event at the cliff on the back mountain a few days ago.

All signs indicated that Xu Zhan was indeed greatly linked to something at the bottom of the Laishui River.

Thus, this Cultivation Technique is more likely a inheritance suitable only for him.

Xu Zhan shook his head slightly, with a solemn expression, he said, ”Please, Master, you must accept it.”

”It is a token of my sincerity.”

After a slight pause, he continued, ”Before I became your disciple, my parents and I were both sheltered by the Shen Family, allowing us to survive until now.”

”Now that I am under your tutelage, you have taken good care of me, Master.”

”Please forgive me, Master. In fact... I also have selfish motives for doing this.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing showed a slightly amused expression and said, ”What are your selfish motives? Tell me and let me hear.”

Xu Zhan respectfully placed the booklet on the tea table in front of Shen Wenxing, then stepped back two steps and bowed, saying, ”The Yangnao Land is currently surrounded by external threats like wolves and tigers, only the Shen Family is strong enough to protect my family and the common people under its rule.”

”When I was a child, I heard a saying from my teacher in the academy.”

”Under a toppled nest, no egg remains intact. By offering this Cultivation Technique to you, Master, I hope to enhance the strength of the Shen Family to protect my family.”

After saying this, Xu Zhan nervously sneaked a glance at Shen Wenxing.

”Haha...”

Shen Wenxing pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled, looking at Xu Zhan with eyes full of appreciation, and nodded, ”That’s a good saying, ’Under a toppled nest, no egg remains intact.’”

”However... Are you sure this technique can greatly enhance the Shen Family’s strength?”

Xu Zhan nodded confidently and said, ”Master, please take a look first.”

Shen Wenxing nodded, and then picked up the booklet from the tea table and opened it to the first page.

The title page of the booklet boldly displayed the words Nine Fiends Gathering Body Technique.

”Did you name this Cultivation Technique yourself?”

Xu Zhan shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Shen Wenxing continued to browse through it.

Initially, he wasn’t very concerned, for he had already had a preconceived notion that this was a personal inheritance tailored for Xu Zhan.

Body Cultivation involves cultivating Qi and Blood, extremely firm and yang in nature.

During the recent abnormal event at the back mountain cliff, Xu Zhan displayed a type of power that was extremely yin and cold, unsuitable for Body Cultivation.

But now, after reviewing this so-called Nine Fiends Gathering Body Technique, a slight awe suddenly arose within him.

Having reached the Peak of the Third Realm of Body Cultivation, Shen Wenxing could easily discern the profundities within this technique.

Using Evil Qi to refine the body, cleverly merging one’s own Qi and Blood with the Evil Qi acquired from slaughter. When it erupts suddenly, it can significantly boost one’s strength.

Though the book also mentioned the side effects of the Nine Fiends Gathering Body Technique, with having a large amount of Evil Qi entering the body, once out of control, could easily affect the cultivator’s mind.

But those who can cultivate to a high tier of body cultivation are all people with a firm mind.

If this Nine Fiends Gathering Body Technique is taken as a subsequent technique to the Azure Dragon Force, allowing the Shen Family’s Body Cultivators to practice it after reaching the Second Realm,

with a tenacious disposition to guard against, it might mitigate the side effects brought by the Nine Fiends Gathering Body Technique.

Slowly closing the booklet in hand, Shen Wenxing showed a solemn expression, pondering for a long time before he spoke, ”Have you now started practicing this Nine Fiends Gathering Body Technique?”

Xu Zhan shook his head slightly, ”Without Master’s permission, I dare not practice it privately.”

”But... I feel the side effects of this practice aren’t as severe as described in the book.”

Shen Wenxing slowly stood up, pacing with his hands behind his back for a while and said, ”This matter is indeed hard to ascertain.”

”Evil Qi belongs to the filthy Qi between heaven and earth, and those with an unfirm Heart Spirit could be easily influenced, it’s not to be taken lightly.”

”For now, continue practicing Azure Dragon Force. Without my permission, do not easily attempt this Nine Fiends Gathering Body Technique.”

Xu Zhan’s cultivation has already reached the Peak of the Second Realm. Although it is due to a special opportunity, reaching such a realm at the age of ten or so suggests his achievements in the future will definitely surpass mine.

He is also my only disciple so far, and I naturally do not want to see him take such risks.

Feeling the concern in Shen Wenxing’s words, Xu Zhan respectfully clasped his hands, ”I will comply with Master’s teachings.”

Shen Wenxing nodded and said, ”Go now, find some time to help the teachers at the Martial Arts Hall train the disciples there. In the future, you will gradually take charge of the matters at the Martial Arts Hall.”

The number of Body Cultivators under our rule is increasing, and usually, it is managed by me.

Now that Xu Zhan has grown and is also my disciple, I can gradually hand over this responsibility to him.
