Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 715: Chapter 261: Unveiling Past Events

"How long has this seat been in seclusion this time?"

Wushi Qianrou replied deferentially, "It’s been over a month."

Over a month?

Shen Chongxu shifted his thoughts and said, "Go find Dongyun Pao, this seat has something to ask him."

Everyone in the Bai Xuan Sect now knows of Wushi Qianrou’s existence.

However, they are unaware of Wushi Qianrou’s identity as an Artifact Spirit, thinking only that Shen Chongxu used some Secret Technique to refine this Commandery Princess of Fushan Country into a puppet.

"Yes, Master."

After bowing, Wushi Qianrou slowly withdrew.

...

Danzhou Barrier.

Shen Wen’an’s figure passed through the barrier, appearing in front of the boulder where Luo Tianxing was.

"Why are you here again, kid?"

Luo Tianxing spoke lightly without opening his eyes.

Shen Wen’an respectfully cupped his hands and said, "This junior has come with something to discuss with the elder."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing slowly opened his eyes, looking at him with a half-smile, "Little one, this old man admits that I quite appreciate you."

"You might know that someone behind the old man is quite considerate of your Shen Family, but some things aren’t as simple as you think."

"Too many things are involved behind Yangnao Land; crucial moments might render not just your Shen Family, but even us old fellows discarded pawns."

Hearing this, Shen Wen’an felt slightly surprised in his heart.

Even Nascent Soul True Monarchs might become discarded pawns?

He understood that what Luo Tianxing said was actually a warning, not to think too highly of oneself, nor assume the Shen Family’s status in Xu Xiu’s eyes to be significant.

At crucial moments, Xu Xiu might discard even Nascent Soul True Monarchs; the Shen Family is truly insignificant.

The previous repeated gestures of goodwill were probably due to some past karma or a bit of acquaintance.

With these thoughts, Shen Wen’an understood that relying on sentiment to make the other party agree was evidently impossible.

"This junior is clear-headed about the weight and status of the Shen Family."

"This junior comes wishes to propose a trade with the elder. May I inquire if the elder is interested?"

Trade?

Hearing this, Luo Tianxing flashed, instantly standing in front of Shen Wen’an.

"At this old man’s Realm, what you consider valuable might not interest me."

"A trade is possible; first show me your chips."

Shen Wen’an slightly cupped his hands and said, "This junior didn’t bring the chips with me."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing narrowed his eyes slightly, sneering, "Oh little one, are you guarding against me?"

Seeing him somewhat angry, Shen Wen’an hurriedly explained, "Please forgive me, elder. It’s not that this junior doesn’t trust you, but that the item is beyond this junior’s ability to bring."

Hearing this, Luo Tianxing’s curiosity was indeed piqued.

"For you, a Golden Core Sword Immortal Realm cultivator, to be unable to handle an item... could it be a mysterious object like the Dao Source Law?"

Shen Wen’an immediately cupped his hands, "Elder has keen insight; the junior speaks precisely of a Spiritual Transformation."

These old fellows who have lived for centuries are indeed knowledgeable.

At the slightest mention, the other party guessed it was a Law wondrous item.

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing was slightly surprised.

"I am indeed somewhat interested in Spiritual Transformation, state your requirements."

By saying so, he clearly acknowledged the chips Shen Wen’an presented.

However, this chip seemed not highly valuable in his heart.

Shen Wen’an pondered for a moment, analyzing the current situation of Yangnao Land, then expressed his thoughts.

"The elder must know that the Shen Family is absolutely unable to withstand the siege of the Southern Border forces. At present, inviting external assistance is the only option."

"The Shen Family has some acquaintance with Cyan Ruo Sword House in Danzhou. May I ask if the Spiritual Transformation could let the elder appease them?"

Facing Shen Wen’an’s eyes filled with anticipation, Luo Tianxing smiled and shook his head.

"To be honest, this old man is utterly solitary, without clan or force behind me. The value of Spiritual Transformation to this old man, at best, allows me to turn a blind eye and let you pass."

"However, as for Cyan Ruo Sword House entering Yangnao Land, the value of one Spiritual Transformation falls far short."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wen’an frowned slightly.

He hadn’t expected the value of Spiritual Transformation in the other’s eyes to be so inadequate.

Seeing his expression, Luo Tianxing smiled and stroked his beard.

"Little one, do you think that at our Realm, if we truly valued Spiritual Transformation, would the Spirits of Yangnao Land still be left to you youngsters?"

"It’s just the old guy from Heaven Mending Sect has backing and does ignore face, snatching that Celestial Weary Golden Radiance."

"Others are solitary wanderers, unable to bring themselves to snatch Spiritual Transformation from youngsters."

Carefully savoring the news revealed by Luo Tianxing’s words, Shen Wen’an instantly realized a crucial problem.

He and his father Shen Yuan were worried that once the Stone Egg at the bottom of the Magma Lake in Flame Lake City was exposed, it would attract the covetous gaze of Nascent Soul True Monarch forces like Heaven Mending Sect.

Listening to Luo Tianxing now, it seems Nascent Soul True Monarchs won’t make a move to seize Spiritual Transformation.

This means the strongest potential enemy Shen Family faces at most is the Purple Mansion.

Moreover...

Luo Tianxing kept saying they weren’t interested in the Spiritual Transformation of Yangnao Land, but that Black Tripod was transformed from the Spirit of one Immortal Mountain of Three Immortal Mountains.

"Elder, are you only uninterested in the Spiritual Transformation of Yangnao Land, or is it the case for all Spiritual Transformations?"

Considering this, Shen Wen’an suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing’s eyes flashed brilliantly, then he waved his hand to cast a streak of Spiritual Power, sealing the surrounding space.
