Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams-Chapter 264 - 185: Daying Immortal Mansion (Part 5)
"Once the news leaks, not only the Cyan Ruo Sword House will have trouble, but the Shen Family and Luoxia Mountain might also face annihilation."
Wei Qiuling and Shen Wenxing listened and both their expressions turned grim, nodding slightly.
Shen Wen’an had previously told them that the secret of Nascent Soul possessed by Danzhou Upper Three Sects was actually the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Celestial Rotation True Seal", and each sect only controlled a piece of the seasonal jade carving.
Now, Cyan Ruo Sword House, Shen Family, and Luoxia Mountain all possess three seasonal jade carvings, and if the news gets out, Yinhe Sect and Celestial Monarch Mountain will surely take action.
Fortunately, the Hundred Beasts Mountain, which knew the news, has been destroyed, and as long as these three families keep silent, no one should find out.
"Chongming, immediately send these three jade scrolls to Black Water Pavilion and give them to your grandfather."
Shen Wenxing spoke.
Next to him, Shen Chongming cautiously collected the three jade scrolls and headed off towards Black Water Pavilion.
At this moment, Fellow Daoist Chu’s hand flashed with light again, and he took out two Demon Essence Pills containing rich demon essence.
He handed the Demon Essence Pills to Shen Wenxing, with a strange expression:
"Senior Sister learned that the Patriarch Shen is a Body Cultivator, and specifically went deep into Qishan a few days ago, spending months hunting two Winter Sheep Deer Demon Beasts at the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm to obtain these."
"Winter Sheep Deer Demon Beasts consume sunset and drink dew; their nature is gentle, and the energy in their Demon Essence Pills is pure and mild, unlike other demon beasts whose pills contain mixed evil qi. For Body Cultivators, this is a rare treasure."
Shen Wenxing was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
Last time Shen Wen’an returned from Danzhou, he brought with him a precious Void Profound Fruit and dozens of Profound Yin Pills.
Those were all gifts from Lingshan Sword Immortal.
Now, having specifically traveled to the depths of Qishan for him, spending months hunting two demon beasts in the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm to obtain their Demon Cores and sending them over.
It’s puzzling indeed.
If Lingshan Sword Immortal merely valued his brother Shen Wen’an’s talent in Sword Dao, it wouldn’t explain such concern for him and his family members.
This continual effort from Lingshan Sword Immortal for the Shen Family truly leaves one perplexed.
Shen Wenxing pondered for a while, unable to understand, choosing to bury these doubts, and slightly arched his hand:
"Lingshan Sword Immortal has showered us with continuous favors and lavish gifts; the Shen Family is immensely grateful!"
"Please, Fellow Daoist Chu, upon returning, make sure to extend heartfelt gratitude to Lingshan Sword Immortal on behalf of the Shen Family."
With deep gratitude in his heart, he could only express it with a few words.
Considering the current foundation of the Shen Family, all of their possessions might not match the value of that one Void Profound Fruit.
They truly have nothing valuable to reciprocate.
Fellow Daoist Chu nodded with a smile: "I will certainly convey your words."
After some more pleasantries, Fellow Daoist Chu got up to take his leave and departed from the Shen Family.
After he left, Wei Qiuling asked with a curious expression: "Brother, do you know that Lingshan Sword Immortal?"
Shen Wen’an also looked at his brother with curiosity.
Back at Yin Sword Peak’s Thousand Feet Cliff, Lingshan Sword Immortal seemed very concerned about his brother’s family matters.
And now specifically letting Fellow Daoist Chu bring him two Demon Essence Pills from the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm.
Quite strange indeed.
Shen Wenxing chuckled bitterly and shook his head.
"I have never been to Danzhou, so how could I know someone like Lingshan Sword Immortal?"
Wei Qiuling frowned.
"That’s strange... Brother, do you know how Fellow Daoist Jin Sheng would react if he knew you had two Demon Essence Pills from the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm Winter Sheep Deer in your possession?"
Meeting Wei Qiuling’s curious gaze, Shen Wenxing slightly shook his head and asked: "Are these Winter Sheep Deer Demon Essence Pills... very valuable?"
Wei Qiuling laughed and shook his head: "It’s not about their value; it’s just that Winter Sheep Deer Demon Cores have a special significance for Body Cultivators."
"Winter Sheep Deer is a kind of herbivorous demon beast; its nature is gentle, and to ordinary people, deer creatures are inherently nourishing."
"Such creatures are hunted by ordinary hunters and some carnivorous animals before transforming into demons."
"After becoming demon beasts, they frequently fall prey to cultivators and other fierce demons."
"It’s fair to say that a Winter Sheep Deer reaching Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm is infinitely harder than for human cultivators."
Wei Qiuling paused before continuing: "For Body Cultivators, cultivating one’s Qi and blood is inherently dangerous. Absorbing Demon Essence Pills containing large amounts of evil qi can easily influence one’s practice, causing Qi and blood to rampage and reverse, leading to demise."
"Conversely, the Demon Essence Pills of Winter Sheep Deer, which contain almost no evil qi, are considered rare treasures for Body Cultivators."
"If Fellow Daoist Jin Sheng knew Brother had two Winter Sheep Deer Demon Essence Pills from the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm, he might empty out his foundation just to coax you endlessly."
"Brother, your realm has been stuck at the Peak of Second Realm for many years, hasn’t it?"
Shen Wenxing nodded.
His Body Cultivation realm had reached the Peak of Second Realm for seven or eight years, and he hadn’t dared to break through because Shen Wenyan had left the Shen Family, leaving Shen Chongming still young.
Fearing accidents during his breakthrough, shouldering family responsibilities would again burden his father.
Now, Shen Chongming is already a father, and within the clan, Shen Chonghong and his brothers are gradually growing up.
He has already prepared to let Shen Chongming familiarize himself with family affairs, and once he is capable, he can focus without distraction on attempting a breakthrough.
"These two Winter Sheep Deer Demon Cores should offer Brother a greater hope of breakthrough."
Wei Qiuling remarked.
After a brief conversation, Wei Qiuling and Shen Wen’an went to Black Water Pavilion, where they replicated the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Celestial Rotation True Seal" from the three jade scrolls and hurriedly left the Shen Family.
