112: Shen Yan: It’s open! It’s definitely open! There’s a cheat! (Gift plus update)

Second Master Shen was stunned.

At this moment, he was being supported by many Immortal Seedlings of the Shen Family, walking towards the City Lord's Mansion.

His mind was filled with the thought that a golden Phoenix had emerged from the Shen Family.

It should be known that the reason the Shen Family did not value Yellow Sand Plains was because the Shen Family itself was incompatible with the area, which was why they focused on Qingyang County.

Developing this place would inevitably waste a great deal of favors and resources, while the income would not be proportionate at all.

Just like the Wang Family, the Wang Family Market already met the requirements with Crescent Lake, an Eighth Grade heaven and earth treasure of water affinity.

This heaven and earth treasure was not even needed by the Wang Family themselves; it was entirely for providing water Qi to martial artists and visiting Cultivators.

The Wang Family cultivates fire; you let him build a simple tent and he can cultivate.

But the Shen Family is different; their Spiritual Root dictates that their environmental requirements are extremely strict.

And Huangfeng Plains is the place that restrains them the most.

And to obtain these heaven and earth treasures, Shen Li must have paid a huge price!

Because he is also an Shen Family Immortal Seed, he also cultivates water and wood!

Shen Li, who never asked for any large quantities of resources from the family and remained unknown, managed to establish such a family business in less than two years.

If it wasn't a golden Phoenix, what else could it be?

Indeed, as a certain Senior said, some people are like sedentary tortoises, suitable for cultivating this way.

Some are truly born birds, needing to venture out to gain full wings.

And Shen Li, obviously, belongs to the latter.

No wonder... that Wang Chen from the Wang Family Market... and that new Immortal Master, both had such deep impressions of Shen Li.

At this moment, Second Master Shen was eager to see Shen Li, wanting to ask him how he managed to do it.

Rising steadily in favorable conditions is called a Genius.

But soaring against adversity, that is what is called a true Prodigy!

Arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the somewhat ordinary mansion gate, Second Master Shen felt even more emotional.

“Shen Li must have focused all his attention on developing his territory, not even caring about the facade. His Heart-Nature is indeed extraordinary.”

“Back then, letting him leave the Shen Family, I wonder if it was the right or wrong choice.”

“In the future, we must compensate Shen Li and his family even more.”

Upon reaching the entrance, they were unable to enter.

A burly figure blocked their path.

This Black Ridge City belongs to the Shen Family's disciples, but to be blocked on their own territory, isn't this turning the world upside down?

Therefore, some inner sect disciples' expressions turned unpleasant.

Shen Yan, however, said in a deep voice.

“Who are you?”

The one blocking the way was naturally General Wushuang. His gaze was indifferent, not showing the honest and gentle demeanor he had towards Shen Li, only saying in a booming voice.

“Who are you? This is the City Lord's Mansion, outsiders are not allowed to enter!”

“A mere guard, dares to block...”

“Shut up!”

Second Master Shen sternly reprimanded, but handed over a Dao Token.

“Give this to the City Lord's Mansion's manager, and everything will be clear.”

General Wushuang did not give way, only nodded and ordered a Yuting Guard to go inside and report.

Looking at the back of the Yuting Guard, Second Master Shen hesitated and asked.

“This is... a Dao Soldier?”

Then he asked repeatedly.

“How many in total? What is their grade? Is their Evil Qi abundant? How many Spirit Stones do they consume?”

No one answered, only General Wushuang's increasingly cold gaze met him.

General Wushuang began to rub his fists, eager to try.

Investigating Dao Soldiers... what do they want to do?

Are the people in front of him spies?

Qi Refining Eighth Layer, a bit troublesome... but I can entangle and deal with him for a bit!

When Commander Qiu Ya arrives, we can encircle and kill... it might even count as a merit.

Thinking this... the aura on General Wushuang's body began to boil, and his eyes gradually filled with bloodshot lines!

Cold sweat immediately broke out on the forehead of that Shen Family Immortal Seed, as if a striped fierce tiger was circling above their head, intent on killing.

The pressure brought by a martial artist comparable to the Extreme Dao Realm, plus the powerful Physical Body of the barbarian race, was too immense.

The highest Realm among them was only Qi Refining Third Layer, how could they resist?

“What do you want to do?”

Second Master Shen's face was gloomy, and his Lingyin Technique suddenly surged from his hand.

Vines shot out from his sleeve... his eyes fixed on General Wushuang.

He felt the boiling demon blood on General Wushuang's body.

Demon Transformation lineage... as a doorman?

What was Shen Li thinking?

And just as General Wushuang's aura reached its peak, Qiu Ya's reprimand echoed.

“Stop!”

General Wushuang looked back in confusion, his aura suddenly dissipating.

“Commander Qiu Ya!”

Then Qiu Ya stepped forward, looking at the familiar figure in front of her, she bowed and respectfully said.

“Qiu Ya greets Second Master.”

“Greetings to all Immortal Seedlings!”

Second Master Shen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the martial artist's violent aura dissipate.

If he had really made a move just now, he wouldn't have been able to protect the Shen Family disciples behind him.

He gave General Wushuang a complex look, and then was led into the City Lord's Mansion.

Qiu Ya explained.

“I thought the family assessment would be at the end of the year, but I didn't expect the family to arrive a few days early.”

“Young Master is currently in seclusion, so he might not be able to come and greet Second Master.”

“No matter.” Second Master Shen looked around and said.

“Could you show me around?”

Qiu Ya nodded and led everyone to the back hall.

Suddenly, Second Master Shen said with a numb expression... Why is there an acre of Ninth Grade Spiritual Field here?

Qiu Ya explained.

“Last year, Young Master and I were out on an experience trip, and we encountered a wisp of Profound Yellow Qi, which we captured and brought back, so we have this acre of Spiritual Field.”

“This Spirit Farmer was also rescued by Young Master and me during our travels, and now he holds a position in the mansion.”

Second Master Shen looked at the acre of Spiritual Field, his mind no longer filled with shock, only numbness.

After a long while, he sighed and said.

“I suppose Shen Li has suffered a lot these past two years, right?”

Qiu Ya was about to speak when she heard a chuckle from the side.

Wang Teng knew guests had arrived and came to join the fun. As soon as he entered the backyard, he heard that hilarious remark.

Suffer... What suffering has that dog Shen Li endured?

He cultivates by consuming Medicinal Pills and heaven and earth treasures.

That dog cultivates by directly consuming heaven and earth treasures.

Is he suffering?

“You are?”

Wang Teng waved his hand and said.

“Wang Teng of the Wang Family... My elder asked me to cultivate with Shen Li for a period of time.”

At this moment, Second Master Shen suddenly realized.

So that's it... If Wang Teng is here, then it explains why the Immortal Master of the Wang Family remembers Shen Li so vividly.

“Qi Refining Third Layer... I suppose you are of the same generation as us?”

Shen Yan curiously sized up Wang Teng.

Wang Teng casually nodded.

Shen Yan, however, sighed and said.

“I suppose you are also an inner sect disciple of the Wang Family. Alas, I don't know how far you can cultivate with this outer sect disciple of my family?”

“He is currently... busy with mundane affairs, so he probably has no time for cultivation.”

“I heard he entered Qi Refining a while ago, so he's probably only at Qi Refining First Layer now, right?”

Wang Teng looked at the idiot in front of him in disbelief and asked in confusion.

“How much?”

Shen Yan said as if it were obvious.

“Qi Refining First Layer.”

“He didn't tell you his Realm?”

“No.”

“What? Did he Breakthrough to Qi Refining Second Layer? Hmm... his perseverance is commendable.” Shen Yan nodded.

But Wang Teng was almost scared silly.

Does this Shen Family truly not care about Shen Li at all?

Before he could speak, the backyard suddenly stirred without wind.

A vast surge of Spiritual Qi poured into the cultivation room like swallows returning to their nest.

Then a vast, biting, cold aura suddenly spread in all directions.

“First Layer.”

“Second Layer.”

“Not bad... indeed Second Layer...”

“Wait... Third Layer?”

“Quite impressive, is there another Opportunity?”

“Fourth Layer.”

“Fifth Layer!”

“How is that possible?”

“Sixth Layer?”

“Seventh Layer?”

“Holy crap! He's cheating!”
