Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

”Last time I only got to eat two pieces, not satisfying at all!”

Shen Chongming chuckled upon hearing this.

”It’s a small matter, I’ll send Fellow Daoist Jin two Tuo Dragons then.”

The Tuo Dragons of Black Water Pavilion now mostly have Qi Cultivation between the seventh and eighth layer, considered quite a tasty delicacy.

”Excellent, excellent!”

Old Man Jin swallowed the saliva in his mouth and nodded repeatedly.

...

On April 10th, all of Yunshui City was adorned with lights and decorations, and the atmosphere throughout was lively and joyful.

Simultaneously holding wedding ceremonies for three couples, Shen Chongming specifically had the family’s cultivators send invitations to all the forces currently in Yangnao Land.

As for whether they would come, it was hard to say.

Outside the manor on the Immortal Welcoming Platform, Shen Wen’an sat together with Feng Changyou and another person.

Shen Chongming accompanied Luo Yao and Old Man Jin along with other representatives from various factions, talking and laughing not far away.

The six major forces of the Southern Border, Jianan Temple had already been defeats, certainly couldn’t come.

And Fushan Country, upon seeing Fu Feng’s name on the invitation, Wushi Ao was so infuriated he wanted to spit blood, naturally wouldn’t come to humiliate themselves.

Other forces like Great Witch Mountain, although they were at odds with the Shen Family, still came as invited.

The dynamics between forces rarely involve absolute enemies.

Nor does it mean they must fight to the death; after the fight, it’s important to sit down for a drink.

The lively and jubilant cheers echoed throughout Yunshui City, heard by many of the Southern Border forces’ representatives with complex expressions on the Immortal Welcoming Platform.

Most of them envied the atmosphere between Shen Family and the cultivators and common people under its rule.

The common people of Yunshui City truly respected the Shen Family from the bottom of their hearts.

This respect was different from Jianan Temple’s forced control over its followers using the ”Seed of Destiny Transformation Scripture.”

As the auspicious time approached, a Shen Family cultivator suddenly darted over using wind manipulation to the Immortal Welcoming Platform, found Shen Chongming who was accompanying Old Man Jin and others, and whispered, ”Patriarch, that elder has come again!”

Shen Chongming was puzzled upon hearing this, ”Which elder?”

The Shen Family cultivator subtly led him aside and lowered his voice, ”The elder who attended the Golden Core Assembly of Third Master last time!”

Hearing this, Shen Chongming’s expression instantly halted, then he cupped his hands to the assembled guests and hurriedly went to Shen Wen’an and the other two.

”Third Uncle, the True Monarch elder from the Danzhou Barrier is here.”

Hearing this, the three of them had peculiar expressions.

Shen Wen’an frowned, Jiang Xiuqi was surprised, and Feng Changyou’s face was meaningfully thoughtful.

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Wen’an cupped his hands to the duo, ”Fellow Daoists, pardon my absence.”

After all, the other party was a Nascent Soul True Monarch and regardless of circumstances, he had to personally welcome them as a sign of respect.

”Since it’s the True Monarch elder, the two of us shouldn’t act presumptuously.”

”Fellow Daoist Jiang, why don’t you and I go along with Brother Shen to welcome him.”

Jiang Xiuqi nodded.

The three of them immediately transformed into streams of light and flew towards the outside of the Ren Water Concealing Spirit Array.

In the clouds of the void, the Elder with a Conical Hat stood with hands behind his back, his gaze penetrating the array, looking at the bustling Yunshui City below with a complex expression.

”The earthly human atmosphere...”

”No wonder this place could become a heartfelt bond for that old guy.”

The Old Man with a Conical Hat muttered to himself, noticing the three figures rushing over from below and immediately collected his thoughts.

”Greetings to the elder.”

Shen Wen’an opened the Ren Water Concealing Spirit Array, his figure coming beside the Elder with a Conical Hat, and respectfully cupped his hands.

”Jiang Xiuqi of Luoxia Mountain, greetings to the elder.”

”Feng Changyou of Celestial Sandalwood Mountain in the Southern Border, greetings to the elder.”

Jiang Xiuqi and Feng Changyou each introduced their identities.

”Celestial Sandalwood Mountain?”

Clearly, the Elder with a Conical Hat had an impression of Feng Changyou’s Celestial Sandalwood Mountain.

”Is the old witch Feng Xi still alive?”

The Elder with a Conical Hat suddenly asked.

Feng Changyou’s expression changed dramatically upon hearing this.

”Elder, you...”

”Alright, judging by your expression, the old witch is still alive.”

”How is she, has she reached the Purple Mansion yet?”

Feng Changyou didn’t answer.

The Old Man with a Conical Hat chuckled, ”That Nirvana Fire back then really turned the old witch from a crow into a phoenix.”

”But counting the days, this might be her last lifetime. If she can’t breakthrough to Nascent Soul, the Nirvana Power should not be enough to let her reincarnate again.”

This statement left Jiang Xiuqi and Shen Wen’an beside him in shock.

Celestial Sandalwood Mountain indeed has a presence of the Purple Mansion!

And judging by the tone, that Purple Mansion figure in Celestial Sandalwood Mountain seemed to be of the same generation as the Elder with a Conical Hat before them!

The Elder with a Conical Hat ignored Feng Changyou’s stunned look and turned to Shen Wen’an, ”Boy, I’m here running errands again this time.”

As he spoke, he retrieved a storage bag from his bosom and casually tossed it over.

”Sent a gift at someone’s request.”

”The gift is delivered, so I’ll be on my way.”

The Elder with a Conical Hat said, turning to leave.

Shen Wen’an caught the storage bag and suddenly cupped his hands and called, ”Elder, please wait.”

The Elder with a Conical Hat turned back with curiosity.

Shen Wen’an stiffened his resolve and cupped his hands, ”Elder, since you’ve come all this way, please do us the honor of visiting Shen Family for a celebratory drink.”

With just a few words, the Elder with a Conical Hat had released a big secret.

Shen Wen’an wanted to take the opportunity to chat with this elder more, hoping to glean more information from him.

The Elder with a Conical Hat smiled and glanced again at Yunshui City below, hesitated momentarily then said with a smile, ”Oh well, after sitting idle for decades, today I’ll go have a celebratory drink and soak up the festivity.”

”However, I won’t drink this wine for free.”

His Divine Sense searched the storage bag and ultimately pulled out a Jade Box.

”This is a piece of ’Essence of Spirit Jade,’ a decent treasure for cultivators below Gold Core.”

”It can be refined into the inner organs, repairing Immortal Embryo Dao injuries.”

”Consider this as the elder’s congratulatory gift.”

Casually throwing the Jade Box to Shen Wen’an, the Elder with a Conical Hat said.

A miracle that can repair Immortal Embryo Dao injuries!?

Shen Wen’an was stunned when he caught the Jade Box, then immediately thought of Shen Chonghong, and hurriedly cupped his hands, ”May I ask, elder, can this item repair the Foundation of the Immortal Embryo?”

The Elder with a Conical Hat made a momentary pause, then shook his head.

”I know of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that can repair the Foundation of the Immortal Embryo, but those items are rare and beyond reach, worth a hundred times more than ’Essence of Spirit Jade.’”

”Don’t even think about it.”

Shen Wen’an heard this, a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

He had thought this item could help Shen Chonghong repair the injury to the Foundation of the Immortal Embryo, but hearing the Elder with a Conical Hat, he realized that such Heavenly and Earthly Treasures were not easy to obtain.

”Elder, please come inside.”

Suppressing his thoughts, he didn’t dare delay and hurriedly gestured respectfully, inviting the Elder with a Conical Hat into Yunshui City.

Meanwhile, at the barrier leading from Danzhou to Yangnao Land, two ethereal figures sneakily arrived near the giant rock where the Elder with a Conical Hat was stationed.

”Father... that old man seems to have really left!”

In the dense forest, Pei Yuwan supported her father, whose face was aged and breath weak, and spoke softly.

Pei Zhao, struggling to steady his body, glanced at the giant rock, a hint of joy flashed in his somewhat dull eyes.

”Yuwan, this is a good opportunity!”

”You don’t have to worry about me, while those beasts haven’t caught up yet, hurry to Yangnao Land!”

”Only by crossing the barrier and reaching Yangnao Land will you have a chance.”

Pei Zhao struggled to push Pei Yuwan’s hand, his voice hoarse.

Pei Yuwan shook her head, eyes welling up, then resolutely said, ”Father, I won’t abandon you.”

”I’ll take you to Yangnao Land this very moment!”

Before her words faded, she ignored hiding her figure, immediately carried Pei Zhao on her back, and flew towards the barrier with wind manipulation!
