Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Seasonal Jade Carvings!?

Slightly startled, he said calmly, "What is it that Elder Qu holds in his hand?"

Qu Yunhe glanced at the Jade Stele in his hand, hesitated slightly, and said, "This item is a Dao Seal Jade Carving born of heaven and earth. It records an Immortal Technique that surpasses True Techniques, called the ."

"This Immortal Technique is countless times more valuable than True Techniques. If it weren’t for the sake of the Spirit, I, Qu, would definitely not take this item out!"

Seeing his serious demeanor, Shen Wen’an suddenly laughed.

This old guy is really not honest at all.

If the Shen Family hadn’t already obtained six pieces of the Seasonal Jade Carvings, he might have been bluffed.

The is indeed an Immortal Technique surpassing True Techniques, but the problem is the complete consists of twenty-four Seasonal Jade Carvings.

A single one is still only at the level of a True Technique.

And it’s still a difficult True Technique to cultivate.

Over the years, the Shen Family has obtained a total of six Seasonal Jade Carvings, but no family cultivators have treated it as their primary cultivation technique.

At most, they draw upon the techniques on it to achieve breakthroughs in their realm.

Seeing Shen Wen’an’s peculiar smile, a hint of embarrassment flashed in Qu Yunhe’s eyes.

He silently thought to himself: Could it be that the Shen Family knows this is only one of the twenty-four parts of the Immortal Technique?

Just as he was pondering how to continue fabricating the story, Shen Wen’an suddenly spoke:

"Since Elder Qu is so sincere, it would be somewhat ungrateful if our Shen Family did not agree."

"The Shen Family can promise to help the Huangsheng Sect hold off Celestial Sandalwood Mountain. As for other forces, the Huangsheng Sect will need to find their own way."

Hold off Celestial Sandalwood Mountain?

Qu Yunhe furrowed his brow slightly, seeming a bit unwilling.

But thinking that the primary purpose of this visit was to borrow the Shen Family’s fortune, he said no more.

After all, it is rumored that Celestial Sandalwood Mountain still has an old Purple Mansion Realm demon, whether alive or dead, unknown.

Using the Shen Family to probe the truth of the rumor isn’t bad either.

As for Shen Chongming, seeing his third uncle already agreed, he was puzzled but did not ask much.

He immediately stepped through the void, preparing to retrieve the Dao Seal Jade Carving.

"Hold on, Patriarch Shen."

Seeing Shen Chongming approaching, Qu Yunhe immediately cupped his hands and said, "It’s not that I, Qu, do not trust the Shen Family, but this matter concerns the life and death of our Huangsheng Sect, and I dare not be careless."

Shen Chongming frowned at the words, "What does Fellow Daoist Qu plan?"

Qu Yunhe cupped his hands again and said, "Please, Patriarch Shen, swear by the fortune of the Shen Family, so I, Qu, can be assured."

Swear by the fortune of the Shen Family?

Shen Chongming’s expression was a bit strange.

Oaths between cultivators are mostly sworn on True Spirits. Swearing by family fortune is something he’s hearing for the first time.

But on second thought, he could somewhat understand.

This old man from the Huangsheng Sect is probably afraid the Shen Family might sacrifice one person to pit his entire Huangsheng Sect against them.

After all, a True Spirit oath only targets individuals.

"Fellow Daoist Qu is truly cautious."

With a faint smile, Shen Chongming thought nothing more and immediately swore by the fortune of the Shen Family.

Once verified, Qu Yunhe handed the Dao Seal Jade Carving to him.

"In that case, once the Spirit manifests, I’ll rely on the Shen Family."

Shen Chongming cupped his hands in return.

"Certainly, certainly."

Watching as Qu Yunhe became a stream of light disappearing into the night sky, Shen Chongming smiled as he approached Shen Wen’an.

"Third Uncle, is this really a Dao Seal Jade Carving?"

Shen Wen’an took the Jade Stele and, after a careful inspection, nodded, "Indeed, it’s a Dao Seal Jade Carving. This one is called ’Lixia’."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming laughed.

"This time, we truly picked up a great treasure for nothing."

"We were just discussing with Third Aunt about when to act against Celestial Sandalwood Mountain after they arrive."

"Now that the Huangsheng Sect has delivered a Dao Seal Jade Carving, we can wait until the Spirit fully manifests before causing trouble for Celestial Sandalwood Mountain."

With a smile on his face, Shen Wen’an nodded.

Upon exiting seclusion, he had communicated with Huang Lingshan, who was far in Danzhou.

Huang Lingshan clearly stated that several Sword Immortals of the Cyan Ruo Sword House had reached a consensus and would descend upon Yangnao Land in seven days.

After receiving this news, he found Shen Chongming to discuss waiting for the Cyan Ruo Sword House to arrive and then finding an opportunity to eliminate Celestial Sandalwood Mountain’s forces in Yangnao Land, sparing them any further thoughts.

The two had yet to come up with a specific plan when Qu Yunhe arrived.

"Including this one, we now have seven Dao Seal Jade Carvings."

"Once we gather all twenty-four, the Shen Family will possess a genuine Immortal Technique!"

Shen Chongming said excitedly, and together they returned to the old residence in the city.

As their figures reached the entrance of the old residence, they saw a figure in a gray, wide robe, hair tied in a bun, standing with hands behind at the courtyard gate.

"Father."

"Grandfather."

The figure was Shen Yuan.

After the two cupped their hands in greeting, Shen Yuan nodded slightly.

"What have you two been doing?"

After Shen Chongming cupped his hands, he handed over the Seasonal Jade Carving, cheerfully recounting how they "got a bargain."

"Grandfather, this Dao Seal Jade Carving was picked up for free."

Shen Yuan examined the Seasonal Jade Carving in his hand, then sneered:

"Picked up for free?"

"This is what you’ve exchanged for half of our Shen Family’s fortune."

Upon hearing this, both were taken aback.

The two exchanged glances, and Shen Wen’an immediately cupped his hands, "Father, what do you mean by this?"

Shen Yuan placed the Dao Seal Jade Carving into the Storage Bag and glanced at Shen Chongming, "Do you know why the Grand Elder of the Huangsheng Sect wanted you to swear by our Shen Family’s fortune?"
