Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Liu Qixuan didn’t speak further.

"Continue," Huang Lingshan said.

Shen Chongming cupped his hands again and said, "Aside from Jianan Temple and Celestial Sandalwood Mountain, amongst the remaining four powers, special attention should be paid to Huangsheng Sect."

"The Shen Family hadn’t paid particular attention to Huangsheng Sect before, but a few days ago, we suffered a setback from them."

With a bitter smile, he didn’t go into the embarrassing details.

The seven Sword Immortals from Cyan Ruo Sword House all nodded.

Shen Chongming continued, "With several seniors already secretly in Yangnao Land, my suggestion is that you all wait for now."

"Once the spirit of Celestial Aromatic Mountain fully manifests, we should unite to first eliminate the forces of Celestial Sandalwood Mountain in Yangnao Land."

"If a Purple Mansion Great Demon from Celestial Sandalwood Mountain appears, Elder Zhai can deal with them, either eliminate or drive them back."

"If Cyan Ruo Sword House is interested in the spirit of Celestial Aromatic Mountain, we can continue to target Celestial Sandalwood Mountain and seize that spirit as well."

"The other powers are not to be concerned about; once Celestial Sandalwood Mountain is dealt with, only Jianan Temple remains to be cautious of."

"Aunt, what do the seniors think?"

The people from Cyan Ruo Sword House exchanged glances and all looked at Huang Lingshan.

Huang Lingshan pondered briefly before speaking, "We are family, Aunt will speak plainly."

"Cyan Ruo Sword House is indeed interested in spirits."

"And we need more than one spirit."

"This is why the senior brothers agreed to help."

"So, Aunt wants to know how many spirits there really are in Yangnao Land."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming glanced at Shen Wen’an.

Shen Wen’an cupped his hands and said, "To be honest, Senior Sister, based on the Shen Family’s information, including the one from Celestial Aromatic Mountain, there are at least three spirits in Yangnao Land."

Three?

Huang Lingshan pondered, glanced at those around her, hesitated briefly, and tentatively asked:

"Then... could Cyan Ruo Sword House have two spirits?"

Shen Wen’an smiled slightly, "Don’t say two, if things go smoothly, Cyan Ruo Sword House can take all three spirits, the Shen Family won’t take any."

The three spirits he spoke of did not include the "Primordial Spirit" within the belly of the Nanli Vermilion Bird in Flame Lake City.

For the Shen Family, having that as a final retreat is enough.

They do not intend to demand other spirits.

Cyan Ruo Sword House has mobilized one Purple Mansion, and six Golden Cores to help, so giving them all three spirits is no big deal.

Upon hearing this, everybody from Cyan Ruo Sword House wore expressions of surprise.

"In that case, let’s proceed with your plan."

"The seven of us will not exert much heart spirit and follow the Shen Family’s arrangements,"

Huang Lingshan said softly after deliberating a moment.

Her relationship with the Shen Family is unique, requiring no excess courtesies.

Shen Chongming nodded and cupped his hands, "Then... seniors, after your long journey, please move to the other courtyard to rest."

"When your expertise is needed, I will send someone to invite you?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Lingshan and her group nodded and stood up.

Shen Wen’an said, "Senior brothers, follow me."

The group came to the courtyard outside, Huang Lingshan hesitated slightly and looked at Liu Qixuan and others, "Senior brothers, follow Wen’an first, I need to attend to some personal matters."

The six nodded, and concealing themselves, flew towards Dragon Coiling Mountain Martial Arts Hall following Shen Wen’an.

"This other courtyard was personally arranged by my father."

"It used to be a martial arts hall of the Shen Family, secluded in the mountains."

"The disciples in the other courtyard have been carefully selected by the Shen Family, cultivators you can trust, senior brothers need not worry."

Leading the group to the residence, Shen Wen’an introduced.

The six from Cyan Ruo Sword House looked around, quite satisfied with the place.

"Junior Brother Wen’an, no need to accompany us, we will handle the accommodations ourselves,"

Moonlight Sword Immortal said with a smile.

Liu Qixuan then jovially approached, "Young Wen’an, is there any renowned good wine in Yangnao Land?"

"Can you get some to satisfy my cravings?"

Shen Wen’an replied with a smile, "There’s indeed a lot of wine in Yangnao Land, but I fear ordinary water wine may not suit Senior Brother Liu’s taste."

Liu Qixuan waved his hand repeatedly, "Oh! Hearing you say that, you don’t seem to understand wine."

"Let me tell you, the quality of wine doesn’t depend on how precious the ingredients are."

"Ordinary water wine, if made with wholehearted effort and care, can be an exceptional vintage."

"Drinking wine, especially fine wine, requires a discerning palate..."

Hearing this, Shen Wen’an chuckled inwardly and said, "Senior brother’s insight is profound."

"Today, hearing your words reminds me of an old friend."

"He was also a lover of wine, and I promised him next time we meet, I would bring him some good wine."

"Now, it happens I’ve met a connoisseur like you."

Pausing for a moment, Shen Wen’an continued, "I will have people scour the counties for good wine. When found, I’ll split it in half."

"One portion for you, senior brother, the other for that old friend."

The old friend Shen Wen’an mentioned was, of course, Li Qing, the Golden Core Flood Dragon of the Cangmin Sea Region.

Though he only met Li Qing once, the flood dragon’s generosity left a deep impression.

The Reverse Scale that Li Qing once gifted, though taken by a Golden-haired Monkey of the Purple Mansion Realm, Shen Wen’an wasn’t sure if he could find Li Qing again even if he went back out to sea, but a promise is never forgotten.

Carrying some good wine, should they meet again, he wouldn’t be breaking his word.

"Excellent, excellent!"

Liu Qixuan nodded repeatedly, "Be quick about it!"
