Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

"Uncle, rest assured, your nephew is fine."

After a pause, Shen Xiubai also proactively asked a question.

"Uncle, do you know how much time is left until the Dao Collapse in Yangnao Land?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming’s expression slightly paused, then he replied, "There is less than one jiazi left."

After a moment of silence, Shen Xiubai said, "Uncle, I must ask you a favor."

Shen Chongming promptly spoke, "Go ahead."

He now completely had no idea what Shen Xiubai was comprehending, or why he had ended up in such a state.

He could only try everything possible to meet his requests.

Shen Xiubai pondered for a few breaths and spoke with a pleading tone, "If possible, please let my family help me find some Dao Source Companions, they are of great use to me."

Dao Source Companions?

Hearing this, Shen Chongming frowned deeply.

Just as he wanted to inquire further, the crack in front of him had already disappeared.

Looking at the strange distorted space in front of him, Shen Chongming crossed his hands behind his back, lowered his head and pondered for a long time before suddenly recalling something.

"Dao Source Companion, I think Black Water Pavilion has one..."

Thinking of this, he immediately hurried back to the estate at the foot of the mountain, carefully arrived at the third floor of Black Water Pavilion, and found a Jade Box.

Inside this Jade Box was the half-success rate fortune that the mysterious Supreme Elder of the Huangsheng Sect had taken out to compensate the Shen Family’s loss, which included Innate Five-Colored Earth.

According to Luo Tianxing, this Innate Five-Colored Earth was a Dao Source Companion, with endless miraculous uses.

Yet, after getting the Innate Five-Colored Earth for several years, Grandfather Shen Yuan had continually been in seclusion, unable to find its use.

Now that Shen Xiubai had requested Dao Source Companions, Shen Chongming gazed at the Jade Box in his hand with some hesitation.

After pondering for a long time, a trace of resolve flashed in his eyes, then he put the Jade Box into the Storage Bag and quietly left Black Water Pavilion.

Back mountain, before the distorted space.

Shen Chongming took out the Jade Box containing the Innate Five-Colored Earth and spoke, "Xiubai, Uncle has brought you Innate Five-Colored Earth."

"This thing is a Dao Source Companion."

After saying this, he quietly waited for the appearance of the spatial crack.

Yet after waiting for a long time, the spatial crack did not appear, and Shen Xiubai did not give any response.

Seeing this, Shen Chongming’s expression was somewhat grave.

"Xiubai?"

After hesitating for a moment, he tried calling once more.

But there was still no response from the twisted spatial crack.

Helpless, Shen Chongming could only put the Jade Box containing the Innate Five-Colored Earth back into the Storage Bag for now.

Coming down from the back mountain, just returning to the old manor.

Shen Chongming planned to check if Aunt Shen Wenping had any problems with her cultivation during this period.

Just stepping into the backyard, he heard the innocent laughter of children coming from within.

In the backyard pavilion, Hu Yufen, Shen Wenping, and Huang Lingxiu and others were sitting together.

And on the open ground in front of them, a big and a small little one were lying on the ground, playfully teasing the shiny-haired big black dog.

The big black dog clearly showed disinterest in the two little ones, yet it still cooperatively played with them.

The rare sight of warmth eased Shen Chongming’s worries slightly, as he smiled and approached, picking up the little one on the ground, less than two years old, and holding him in his arms.

The little one initially wanted to struggle, but upon seeing Shen Chongming’s face, he affectionately snuggled close and called out in a babyish voice, "Grandpa."

This little one was the child born after Shen Xiuzhuo’s marriage to Xu Qingzhi, a disciple from Luoxia Mountain, and was the first in the Shen Family’s ’Yuan’ generation.

Named Shen Yuanque.

The little one was still two months short of turning two years old.

Shen Chongming did not mind him making his face full of drool, affectionately pinching his cheek.

"Uncle, Xiusi wants a hug too..."

Just as Shen Chongming picked up his grandson Shen Yuanque, the slightly older child beside him crawled up from the ground, opening his arms and speaking with his head lifted.

Seeing this, Xiao Hongxiao immediately walked over to scold him, "Don’t be naughty, Xiusi."

However, Shen Chongming squatted down, chuckling while lifting the nearly three-year-old Shen Xiusi into his arms as well.

"Uncle will hug both."

Xiao Hongxiao, seeing this, slightly bowed with a smile, "Brother, you shouldn’t spoil this little rascal too much."

Shen Chongming, holding the two little ones with a gentle smile, replied, "It’s alright, Xiusi is still young, it’s not time for him to learn rules yet."

He carried both of them to the pavilion, and Huang Lingxiu took over Shen Yuanque, while Xiao Hongxiao hurriedly received Shen Xiusi.

Only then did Shen Chongming have a free hand to salute Hu Yufen and Shen Wenping and others within the pavilion.

"Chongming, hurry and sit down."

Hu Yufen cheerfully shifted her position, letting Shen Chongming sit beside her.

After sitting down, Shen Wenping looked at him and asked, "You didn’t come today to hurry Aunt to cultivate again, did you?"

"Aunt has been very diligent lately, and her cultivation level has already reached Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming smiled slightly, "It’s good that Aunt’s cultivation has improved."

Shen Wenping curled her lips in resignation, "All this fuss, insisting that this old lady gain a Spirit Root, what a hassle..."

He automatically ignored her complaint.

"Chongming, have you heard any news from your Third Uncle yet?"

After a round of casual talk, Hu Yufen, sitting beside him, suddenly asked.

Mentioning Third Uncle Shen Wen’an, Shen Chongming’s expression slightly paused, then he replied with a smile, "Don’t worry, Grandma, Aunt and all the predecessors of the Cyan Ruo Sword House have already gone to find Third Uncle."

"Third Uncle and Xu Zhan’s strength aren’t weak, plus with Aunt and the others, they’ll be fine."

Hu Yufen nodded slightly.

She also knew she couldn’t help with these matters, only sighing quietly, "Your grandfather, that old fellow, is also useless; he’s been in seclusion for several years now without any sign."
