Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

This!

Upon hearing this, both were momentarily stunned.

Ascendant Zhenyi, Luo Tianxing, is a powerful Loose Cultivator from the Southern Border, ranked first among the four Great True Monarchs in the Southern Border.

”Since Senior Brother has already decided, we won’t try to dissuade you further.”

”But as for the tribute for ’Borrowing Fortune,’ have you prepared it?”

”We must not let the Huangsheng Sect suffer a backlash then.”

Qu Yunhe nodded: ”Rest assured, Junior Sister, I have prepared everything before coming here.”

He slowly turned to the two and said, ”While the various factions can still restrain themselves, please guard this place.”

”I’m going to visit Yunshui City now.”

With these words, Qu Yunhe stepped forward and disappeared from sight.

...

Yunshui City.

After Shen Wen’an came out of seclusion, he was discussing with Shen Chongming how to deal with the patriarch of Celestial Sandalwood Mountain.

A cultivator from the Shen Family hurriedly approached the two.

”Patriarch, Third Master, an elder has arrived outside the array, claiming to be the Grand Elder of Huangsheng Sect, and wishes to pay a visit.”

Grand Elder of Huangsheng Sect?

Shen Chongming frowned and looked at Shen Wen’an.

Shen Wen’an was equally intrigued.

The major powers from the Southern Border have been in Yangnao Land for over forty years, and the Shen Family has never engaged with Huangsheng Sect, knowing little about them.

Why would the Grand Elder of Huangsheng Sect visit Yunshui City in the dead of night?

”It’s likely about the Spirit.”

Shen Chongming, after a moment of thought, said, ”The Spirit of Celestial Aromatic Mountain manifested within the Huangsheng Sect’s controlled area. The Grand Elder comes late at night to the Shen Family, probably because of this matter.”

Shen Wen’an lowered his head slightly.

”Let’s take a look.”

The two didn’t intend to invite the Grand Elder of Huangsheng Sect into the city for a conversation.

After all, the two families are unfamiliar with each other, and given the current tense situation, the Shen Family has no interest in getting involved in matters related to the Spirit.

Thus, they decided to see what the Grand Elder of Huangsheng Sect was thinking outside the array.

The uncle and nephew pair arrived together outside the array.

In the void, Qu Yunhe saw them and greeted from afar: ”Qu Yunhe of Huangsheng Sect greets the two fellow Daoists.”

Shen Wen’an and Shen Chongming also returned the greeting, each stating their identity.

Qu Yunhe, hearing this, looked at Shen Chongming in surprise and said, ”That day, when the anomaly appeared in Yunshui City, I thought it was some elder of the Shen Family breaking through. Never did I expect it to be the Patriarch Shen.”

”For the Patriarch to reach the Golden Core Realm at such a young age, you are bound to establish palaces and form an infant, with a glorious destiny.”

Shen Chongming smiled while waving his hand, ”Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qu, for the auspicious words.”

”May I ask what brings Fellow Daoist Qu to Yunshui City at this late hour?”

Shen Chongming turned the conversation, not wanting to be overly polite with the elder, and got straight to the point.

Qu Yunhe was momentarily taken aback, then laughed awkwardly: ”I have come to discuss a business proposition with the Shen Family.”

He had assumed they would invite him into the city, where they could sit down for a detailed discussion.

But Shen Chongming’s straightforwardness made him realize that the Shen Family seemed to be wary of Huangsheng Sect and was not planning to let him into the city.

”Business?”

Shen Chongming asked in confusion, ”About the Spirit?”

Qu Yunhe nodded just as he saw Shen Chongming smiling and raising a hand:

”Forgive us, Fellow Daoist Qu, but the Shen Family has no interest in the Spirit.”

”If there’s nothing else, please return.”

Not interested in the Spirit?

Qu Yunhe was bewildered upon hearing this.

But upon reflection, it had been more than half a month since the manifestation of the Spirit phenomenon at Celestial Aromatic Mountain, and indeed, the Shen Family showed no intention of getting involved.

Could it be they don’t know the uses of the Spirit?

”Patriarch Shen, please wait.”

Qu Yunhe hurriedly called to Shen Chongming and Shen Wen’an, who were about to return to the city, and then said: ”Since the Shen Family is not interested in the Spirit, what I wish to discuss has little to do with it.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming and Shen Wen’an stopped in their tracks.

”Elder Qu, please speak plainly.”

After pondering briefly, Shen Wen’an replied calmly.

After the situation with Celestial Sandalwood Mountain unfolded, he had seen through the powers in the Southern Border.

Each of them harbors ill intentions, and collaborating with them is akin to seeking danger.

Seeing that neither of the two were particularly interested, Qu Yunhe stopped beating around the bush and directly took out a Jade Scroll.

”This is a True Technique called ’Three Lives Profound Unity True Water Profound Record.’”

”I wish to exchange it for the Shen Family’s assistance at a crucial moment in helping Huangsheng Sect seize the Spirit.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming and Shen Wen’an exchanged glances, then scoffed, ”Fellow Daoist Qu must be joking?”

”While the True Technique is tempting, the Shen Family doesn’t intend to involve itself in the struggle for the Spirit.”

”Please, return.”

The uncle and nephew bowed again, turned, and walked toward the light shield of the Ren Water Concealing Spirit Array.

This!

Qu Yunhe, holding the Jade Scroll, stared blankly at the two.

Based on previous information, the Shen Family has been a cultivation family for less than two hundred years.

In such a short time, the Shen Family must certainly lack foundational cultivation techniques.

The True Technique he offered should be hard for them to refuse.

Seeing Shen Wen’an already opening the Grand Array, Qu Yunhe gritted his teeth: ”Please wait, I still have a good thing!”

With a flash of light, Qu Yunhe took out a barely-foot-long Jade Stele emitting faint Spiritual Charm!

Shen Chongming halted his steps once more.

Growing impatient, he felt the elder from Huangsheng Sect was a bit clingy.

”Fellow Daoist, as I said...”

”Hmm?”

Mid-sentence, Shen Chongming suddenly noticed that the Jade Stele in Qu Yunhe’s hand looked familiar.

”Third Uncle.”

He immediately whispered to the departing Shen Wen’an.

Shen Wen’an turned back, his eyes also falling upon the barely-foot-long Jade Stele.
