Chapter 492 - 224: Golden Core Dao · Divine Three Flowers (Part 2)
Shen Wen’an nodded, signaling him to continue.
Shen Chongming thought for a moment and said, "Nephew feels that we can let Zhongyi and Xiuyun try."
"Xiuyun?"
"That little guy from Chonghong’s family?"
Shen Wen’an opened his mouth with some suspicion.
Let He Zhongyi cultivate the "Li Palace Bing Fire Refining Form Technique" was originally his planned choice.
He Zhongyi possesses a fire attribute Spirit Root of extremely high quality, with a natural flame mark at the center of his forehead.
But Shen Xiuyun, he knows very little about.
Only because among the Shen Family, besides his father and brothers, he has some contact with the Chong generation. As for the Xiuyun generation below, he has hardly met.
"Xiuyun’s mother, Xiao Hongxiao, is the daughter of Xiao Yin, the chief of the Hundred Refinements Valley."
"That brat inherited his mother’s personality, has been fond of Artifact Refining since childhood, and also has a fire attribute Spirit Root."
"A few days ago, Chonghong found the nephew, saying he wanted Xiuyun to be apprenticed to Luoxia Mountain to practice the Artifact Refining Technique, and the nephew took him on a visit to Elder Jiang in Yunzhong County City."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wen’an frowned slightly and said, "This matter may provoke gossip, letting Luoxia Mountain misunderstand."
Shen Chongming gave a wry smile: "Nephew thinks so too, and although Elder Jiang didn’t explicitly say it, the implication was the same."
"After all, the Shen Family is not affiliated with Luoxia Mountain, and some matters are indeed difficult to handle."
Shen Wen’an nodded.
"Alright, Third Uncle understands."
"I’ll leave the affairs here to you then."
Patting Shen Chongming’s shoulder, he directly mounted the Snow Wolf King and headed towards Yunshui City.
In the courtyard’s side room, the father and son sat facing each other, looking at He Zhongyi and Shen Xiuyun in front of them.
"Grandfather, Third Uncle."
"Rest assured, Zhongyi will certainly not let you two down."
He possesses an upper grade fire attribute Spirit Root, and his cultivation has already reached the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer. If he cultivates normally, it would likely take one to two years, or at most three to five years, to achieve Qi Cultivation Perfection.
Then he would only need to find a suitable strand of Innate Spiritual Qi to naturally breakthrough to Fetal Breathing.
But now suddenly changing the Cultivation Technique may delay some of the breakthrough time.
Moreover, the "Li Palace Bing Fire Refining Form Technique" contains Ancient Refining Techniques, and simultaneously comprehending them may waste a considerable amount of time.
Shen Wen’an explained all these things to him clearly.
He Zhongyi also knows the importance of the "Li Palace Bing Fire Refining Form Technique" to the Shen Family, so he agreed resolutely without any hesitation.
His character is inherently tranquil, not the type that likes to compete.
If he can cultivate Ancient Refining Techniques and contribute to the Shen Family from another aspect, it would indeed be more suitable.
"Xiuyun, what do you say?"
Shen Yuan laughed heartily as he looked at Shen Xiuyun, who was not yet ten years old, and asked.
"Great-grandfather, Yun’Er is also willing!"
Shen Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Good, then starting today, Yun’Er will cultivate diligently with your cousin, striving to create an Artifact Refining Dao for our Shen Family."
The two in front exchanged a glance and both kowtowed to Shen Yuan and Shen Wen’an in agreement.
...
Vast Western Wilderness.
The Snow Wolf King’s body grew to several meters again, carrying the three towards the direction of Flame Lake Ridge.
He Zhongyi was okay, as he had gone to Flame Lake Ridge once before with Mu Chang.
But Shen Xiuyun was different; it was his first time leaving Yunshui City since growing up.
The little guy sat on the back of the Snow Wolf King, his big eyes curiously surveying the rapidly retreating grasslands below and the distant gobi and hills.
Everything here was intriguing for him.
"Grandfather, have all the Demon Beasts here been driven away?"
After looking around and not finding the fierce Demon Beasts his father had mentioned, Shen Xiuyun looked up at Shen Wen’an, who was sitting cross-legged in front, and asked.
Shen Wen’an nodded softly: "They have all been driven away by our Shen Family Cultivators."
"This time... the Shen Family must have suffered quite a loss, right?"
He Zhongyi said solemnly.
During the Western Wilderness War, he had followed Mu Chang to clear small demons at the rear, and did not engage with the main forces of Great Witch Mountain.
He only occasionally heard the Cultivators under him mention the brutality of the battle in the central Western Wilderness.
Shen Wen’an’s gaze shifted to the distance before speaking solemnly: "Each generation has its mission."
"We of your fathers’ and grandfathers’ generation fight with our lives to secure a place of peaceful residence for you youngsters and pave the way for you."
"What you need to do is to stand on the older generation’s shoulders and elevate the Shen Family to a higher level."
"If one day, the Shen Family truly becomes an immortal race, and we receive the reverence of future generations, we would be satisfied."
Hearing these words, He Zhongyi and Shen Xiuyun were silent.
They both had read the Shen Family’s clan history, knowing how the Shen Family had climbed from being farmers to its current status over the past century.
Beneath them, the Snow Wolf King listened intently to their conversation.
Sighing inwardly.
This kind of legacy spirit among human cultivators is more formidable than the Demon Beast tribes.
It’s no wonder why, despite the Demon Beasts’ evident strength, they have never been able to stand against human cultivators.
The grasslands and gobi below retreated rapidly, and soon, the Snow Wolf King could vaguely see the so-called Flame Lake Ridge.
"Master, is it that magma lake?"
The Snow Wolf King turned to inquire.
Shen Wen’an nodded and said: "Land next to it."
Receiving the order, the Snow Wolf King accelerated suddenly, rushing directly to the edge of the magma lake to land.
After the three dismounted, Shen Xiuyun curiously observed the scorching magma in front.
Beside him, He Zhongyi was somewhat reflective.
"The last time I followed Elder Mu here, I only glanced from afar and dared not approach."
