Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 61: The City Lord's Concubine (3)
In the world of cultivation, there is no such thing as waiting for others to bring you benefits.
If you want something, you have to take the initiative to fight for it.
The Shen family paid a lot this time, and their purpose was definitely to establish good relations with the City Lord's Mansion.
Butler Fu didn't know what the Lin family and the Sun family were thinking, but what was clear was that the Shen family would definitely take it seriously.
After hearing what Butler Fu said, Shen Yao stopped being pretentious and opened the storage bag on her waist, and put the spirit stones, talisman papers and formation plates that were exposed outside into it.
Then Shen Yao said goodbye to Butler Fu, turned around and left quickly.
Instead of returning to the courtyard, Shen Yao turned a corner and went directly to the Shen family's library.
The library is quite large, and contains all the skills and spells that the Shen family has collected over the years.
For example, the "Changchun Jue" mental method currently practiced by the Shen family is a mid-grade Xuan-level magic method.
Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang
Xuan grade is already pretty good. Tian grade and Di grade are only available in big sects or ancient families with a long history. The Shen family is a nouveau riche family that has just risen to power not long ago, so they are lucky to have a mid-grade Xuan grade.
Moreover, this mid-grade Xuan-level "Changchun Jue" is still missing some of the mental methods after the Golden Elixir stage.
Otherwise, with its reputation as a mid-level Xuan-level item, other people would have come to snatch it away long ago.
This time when Shen Yao came to the library, he was also thinking about his remaining spiritual power and practicing a few more spells to deal with the Yunwu Mountain incident.
Although her water and wood spiritual roots are not strong offensive spiritual roots, she can still be saved by practicing and learning the vine technique or arrow rain technique.
Otherwise, Shen Yao only knows three or five spells, and her means of fighting the enemy are too limited, and she will be defeated if she is not careful.
Shen Yao has not forgotten the cruelty of the world of cultivation, where people die easily.
The reason why Shen Yao was able to spend twenty-two years in peace was also because she was born into the Shen family and she didn't like to go out.
Otherwise, if it were those independent cultivators in Yunwu City who were running around for resources, they would have died countless times.
call
Because of the news about Yunwu Crystal this time, who knows how many people went to Yunwu Mountain with ulterior motives.
Shen Yao felt that she couldn't place all her hopes on her clansmen.
The mountains are filled with fog and it's scary. You might get unlucky and not meet anyone. You'll have to go it alone, so you need some extra protection.
Soon, they arrived at the library.
After telling the gatekeeper outside her purpose, Shen Yao took out her own identity token, lit up the spiritual power on it, and entered the door smoothly.
The library contains not only spells and magic formulas, but also various widely circulated travelogues and legends.
Shen Yao also planned to learn more about the ideas of Xuantian Continent, so when it came to selection, she basically packed up everything she could as long as it was useful.
Anyway, travelogues and legends are all written in books and are all common stuff.
The spells and magic formulas engraved on jade tablets are more precious, and there are even restrictions on copying them.
For a direct descendant like Shen Yao, there are only three free places every three months. If the number exceeds the limit, one can only supplement it by spending spirit stones himself.
Two spirit stones for one, this is just for the ordinary goods on the first floor of the library.
If you go to the second and third floors, it will only be more expensive. Even Shen Yao, as a direct descendant, has no power for the time being.
Because those are places that only foundation-building and golden elixir cultivators can enter.
"Third Elder, these are what I want. Here are the relevant spirit stones."
Shen Yao picks very quickly and basically won't let go once she gets something.
He searched all the spells related to water and wood spiritual roots in the entire hall.
Shen Yao respectfully handed the items and spirit stones to an old man.
Shen Changyu, the third elder in charge of guarding the library, has the strength of an early stage of foundation building, but his energy and blood are terribly weak, and he will not live for many years.
It was also because of this that he came to guard the Shen family's library.
This is an old man of the same generation as Shen Changfu. Although he was born in a side branch, he made great contributions to the family and was specially moved into the main branch to take over the position of elder of the Shen family.
There are seven elders like this in the Shen family. They usually stay at home and rarely go out, and they will not show up unless it is an important matter.
"It's Shen Yao, you've chosen so many, I'm afraid I won't be able to practice them all.
Among these spells, you can first master the wood-based "Growth of All Things" and the water-based "Spring Breeze and Rain".
As for the rest, you can learn if you have spare time, but if you don’t, just take it as a way to broaden your horizons.”
Shen Changyu has white hair and a long beard that moves in the wind.
The elders of the Shen family were very kind to the younger generations like Shen Yao.
Even the Second Elder Shen Changshou, who appears most frequently, has a cold face but gentle eyes and brows. One can tell at a glance that he is a person who speaks hard but is soft on the inside.
Shen Yao nodded and thanked Shen Changyu for the reminder, "Shen Yao will remember this."
Shen Changyu stroked his beard with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, he sent Shen Yao out smoothly. "Go ahead, save the spirit stones for your own use when you go to Yunwu Mountain. I have some left over here. You are a junior, so there is no need to be polite."
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao looked up at the closed door of the library, then looked down at the book, jade plaque, and some sparkling spirit stones in her arms.
While I sighed in my heart, I also felt a little warm. This is the Shen family.
Despite practicing Taoism, he did not abandon the warmth of his family. The atmosphere in the Shen family is very good, and Shen Yao still feels that she is being cared for.
call
It seems that I have understood the significance of a cultivation family. Compared to the Shen family in the previous world, I think I will live more comfortably here.
……
Shen Yao returned to the courtyard and continued his retreat.
This time it is not for improving one's own cultivation and breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining in one fell swoop.
It was to practice the two wood and water spells recommended by Shen Changyu.
However, since there is only half a month, it is impossible to learn all two spells.
Shen Yao picked and chose, and finally set her sights on the wood-themed "Everything Grows".
Growth of All Things, as the name suggests, is a common method of using wood-based spells to promote the growth of plants, and then attack and consume them.
It is very similar to vine magic, but vine magic only condenses one's own spiritual power into the shape of vines to entangle and attack, while the growth of all things uses the crazy growth of plant seeds or branches to attack.
Both are physical attacks, but vine magic is only related to one's own spiritual power. The growth of all things depends on the strength of the plants themselves.
In short, these two spells, one is used for direct effect and the other is used for indirect effect.
The growth of all things is difficult to learn, and requires the control and grasp of the supply of spiritual power, but it does not consume much of one's own spiritual power and is more economical and convenient than vine techniques.
This time Shen Yao went to Yunwu Mountain, where besides Yunwu Stone, there were many kinds of trees.
All things grow, and that is you!
Sit cross-legged, close your eyes, and hold your breath.
Shen Yao slowly mobilized the spiritual power in her body, silently recited the formula in her mind, and released it skillfully.
By the time Shen Yao mastered and released the spell to make all things grow, it was already early May.
A gray-green vine flew out from Shen Yao's hand, and with a flexible posture, it tied up the teacup not far away and sent it to Shen Yao's hand.
Shen Yao controlled the vine in her hand, and finally withdrew her spiritual power to restore it to the shape of a seed.
call
I've finally mastered it, at least I can use it for long-range attacks without any problems.
Standing up, Shen Yao used her backhand to perform the Qingchen Technique to take care of her body.
Then Shen Yao called Ping'er and changed into a brand new fairy dress in pink with gold threads.
Well, Shen Yao did not forget the purpose of going to Yunwu Mountain. She decided to deepen the impression from daily life. She asked Ping'er to make a flying bun for her and also wore some good defensive magic weapons.
Anyway, I can't afford spiritual weapons, and there are many magical weapons in the family, so I'll use whatever I can.
"Master, the Fourth Miss and the Fifth Miss sent someone to look for you two days ago."
After Ping'er finished speaking, she did not forget to hand the letter in her arms to Shen Yao.
There was a sound transmission talisman attached to the letter. When Shen Yao opened it, she heard a clear and pleasant voice asking her to meet at Luoxue Garden after she finished her training.
Luoxue Garden is the residence of Shen Yao's fourth sister, Shen Ying.
Shen Ying is currently the most talented person among the younger generation of the Shen family.
Dual spiritual roots of gold and fire, with 6.5 points of gold spiritual root and 5.5 points of fire spiritual root.
It is very likely that he can build a foundation. If he can join a sect and get taught by a master, it is not impossible for him to make a breakthrough to the golden elixir stage.
Shen Ying is twenty-two years old, the same age as Shen Yao. When she was eighteen years old, she participated in the selection of disciples for the three major sects in Beizhou.
Unfortunately, I was a few places behind in the rankings and am now waiting for next year’s selection.
Anyway, in the three major sects of Beizhou, as long as the cultivators are between 16 and 40 years old, they can participate in the disciple selection held every five years. Spiritual roots and qualifications are not considered, and as long as they pass the selection test, they can join.
What did Shen Ying want to talk to her about? Her relationship with her fourth sister Shen Ying and fifth sister Shen Qing had always been ordinary. Could it be related to this trip to Yunwu Mountain?
He waved his hand lightly and disposed of the note directly.
Shen Yao stroked her hanging tassels, left Ping'er to guard the courtyard, and got up and rushed to the Luoxue Garden not far away.
The younger generation of the Shen family all live nearby. Luoxue Garden is not far from Shen Yao's residence, especially since Shen Yao still has some cultivation skills.
About a quarter of an hour later, Shen Yao knocked on the gate of Luoxue Garden.
"Sixth Miss"
"Are the fourth and fifth sisters here?"
"Miss Four and Miss Five are in the backyard garden. Miss Six, please come this way."
The servant respectfully invited Shen Yao to the garden. Sitting in the pavilion next to the garden pond were Shen Ying and Shen Qing.
These two people look similar, both are beautiful women with fair skin and beautiful looks.
Unfortunately, compared with Shen Yao, it still lacks some color.
Shen Ying has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, and there is more murderous aura in her.
Shen Qing and Shen Yao are both at the sixth level of Qi training, so they seem ordinary.
"Fourth sister, fifth sister"
Shen Yao greeted him with a smile, then calmly took a seat.
"Sixth sister, your appearance has become even more dazzling after your retreat."
Shen Qing sighed, thinking that even if she had gotten used to it, she would still feel hit hard when compared to others.
Shen Ying's expression was cold and calm. "Your cultivation will need the assistance of elixirs in the future. You seem a little impatient in this retreat."
Shen Yao did not refute, "Fourth sister is right, but if it doesn't work this time, we can try again next time."
Shen Qing did not recommend this, "Be careful not to hurt your body, your meridians can't stand your repeated destruction."
Shen Yao shrugged her shoulders and thought that even if it was just to live a few more years, she had to try.
However, Shen Qing has three spiritual roots, and the highest spiritual root qualification, earth spiritual root, is only 5 points, which is about the same as himself. Maybe he suffered a lot when he broke through his cultivation before, so he can empathize with him.
The three of them don't have much contact with each other on a daily basis, and when some words are spoken, they can't continue, which makes the atmosphere around them seem cold and lonely.
Shen Qing felt strange after she finished speaking, so she simply smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I called you here this time because I wanted to tell you about the trip to Yunwu Mountain in two days."
As soon as Shen Yao heard the words "Yunwu Mountain", she immediately perked up.
Shen Qing glanced at Shen Ying, “Uncle should have made it very clear about our trip to Yunwu Mountain this time.
It’s mainly you and me. Xiaoseven is still young, and Fourth Sister doesn’t need these at all.
Here, this records some information about the young talents in Yunwu City.
Take it back and look at it more. If you find something you like, pay more attention to it when the time comes."
Shen Qing was not shy and felt that saying these words was just like a simple chat.
Shen Yao reached out and took the paper handed to her by Shen Qing, glanced at it, and quickly put it into her sleeve.
"Fifth sister, do you have a suitable candidate?" Shen Yao was curious.
The main reason is that I’m afraid that if two people have the same goal, it will be awkward.
Shen Qing waved her hands, "I don't know anything, I just know that the direct branches of the Lin and Sun families are pretty good.
However, there have been some dirty dealings between the Lin family, the Sun family and our Shen family over the years.
If possible, try not to choose them.”
After listening to this, Shen Yao nodded, thinking that what Shen Qing said made sense.
What's more, the opposition between the three families will help to maintain the stability of Yunwu City.
Marriage? The City Lord's Mansion and the Iron Sword Sect behind them would probably be worried.
At this time, Shen Ying, who was listening nearby, also began to explain, "The Lin family and the Sun family have close ties with the Qianyu League and the Ziyun Sect.
Especially the Lin family, who had a direct descendant who went to the Ziyun Sect.
I plan to try the Iron Sword Sect next year, so we’d better keep our distance from the Lin family.” Although the people of the Lin family have good looks and emotional intelligence, they are not suitable for the Shen family.
Shen Yao:......
"Don't worry, Fourth Sister, I understand everything," Shen Yao would not challenge such a difficulty, she just wanted to find a normal person with good qualifications.
After the three sisters finished speaking these private words, they chatted a few more words about cultivation.
Shen Ying was the main speaker, while Shen Qing and Shen Yao were listening on the side.
After all, some experiences in cultivation can only be shared by those with a high level of cultivation.
Shen Yao returned to the courtyard before dark, took a hot bath, changed her clothes and went to bed.
Even though cultivators do not need to sleep and can maintain their energy just by meditating, Shen Yao still cannot easily adjust to the normal schedule she has developed from working in multiple mission worlds.
In this way, work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset to sunrise.
Shen Yao stayed in the courtyard for several days until Ping'er came to inform her that she needed to leave.
In the early morning, there was a thin layer of white fog outside.
The weather in May was still a little chilly. Shen Yao wore a light-colored, flowing dress with wide sleeves. In order to facilitate movement, she combed her hair into a simple ponytail.
The various magical weapons he carried with him were hidden in it. Shen Yao let out a sigh, told Ping'er to guard the courtyard, and left with a storage bag full of various supplies.
At the entrance of the Shen family, a group of people had gathered.
The second elder, Shen Changshou, was standing in the distance and whispering with the head of the family, Shen Zhouhai.
When Shen Yao arrived, she immediately saw Shen Ying and Shen Qing in the crowd.
Shen Qing smiled and waved, "Sixth sister"
Shen Yao walked over and nodded, "Fourth sister, fifth sister"
Shen Ying hummed, holding a long sword with an icy texture in her hand.
Even if the sword is in the sheath, people can still feel the biting coldness.
