Chapter 461 Seven Peaches Mountain (2/2)

No matter how wonderful someone else's home could be, nothing would beat the soil of your very own hometown.

After achieving what he wanted, the Daoist left Mount Jieyang to return to the Seven Peaches Mountain. Although Mount Jieyang was extremely deserted, it was indeed a good place, especially the Yin Gathering Fountain. If he would take in any disciples in the future, Mount Jieyang would be useful. That was why he put it so much effort to produce a Shape Shifting Elixir and fed it to his python pet. The giant python then shapeshifted into a human figure and was tasked to protect the Yin Gathering Fountain.

He knew that the giant python was cruel and menace, and thus he planted spiritual consciousness in the python. If anything odd was triggered in the python's mind, the spiritual consciousness would be activated.

But now, the prohibition on the Yin Gathering Fountain was broken and the giant python too was annihilated.

It took him so much to achieve what he had today. In order to seek true techniques, he had endured so much hardship, and that was the reason why he was hesitating if he should or should not return to Mount Jieyang to see what was happening.

It was hard to ignore Mount Jieyang as he could not let go of the Yin Gathering Fountain.

Now that he failed to enter the state of concentration, he decided to make a 'Thousand Miles Magical Travel talisman and get a delivery man to inquire about the situation of Mount Jieyang.

All cultivators of the heaven and earth had a universal promise that was to never easily kill the human race. As he attained Dao differently, he may not be able to avoid conflict if he encountered certain types of cultivator.

That was why he decided to hire a human to investigate for him and then decide on what actions he should take.

After all, the Yin Gathering Fountain would remain there and not run away.

It was just a pity that the giant python that he had put in so much effort into was dead. Things were starting to look more negative than positive.

...

Shen Lian looked at the well and knew of its value.

Chen Qing and Han Ying were already in their adulthood, their bones have stopped developing and they have completed puberty. But with this well, it has the potential to reshape the foundation, or at least it would be very helpful for his future path of cultivation.

Shen Lian looked at Chen Qing and asked, ”Mother, is Mount Jieyang under our Xi Liang?”

Chen Qing replied, ”The area a hundred miles radius surrounding the Xi Liang city are considered as our territory. Mount Jieyang too is no exception.”

Shen Lian responded, ”That's great. In the future if someone tried to take it back, we would never return it back to them. After all, this belonged to our ancestors.”

There were deeper meanings to his words.

Han Ying did not fathom fully but Chen Qing was able react to it. No one would build a manor out of the blue on a mountain. What Shen Lian was trying to say was if the original owner of the manor returned, he would never give the place back to the owner.

Initially, she thought that was inappropriate. They were seeking refuge here temporarily and would eventually return to the city of Xi Liang. Why would he want to forcefully take down this place?

But as she look at Shen Lian who looked like he had other plans, and considering that the Mount Jieyang belonged to Xi Liang anyway, it was not entirely right to say that they forcefully took down the place.

With the Yin Gathering Fountain, Shen Lian started to teach Chen Qing and Han Ying the basic methods of Qigong practices. It was also an improved version of the Shenzu Scripture that he has been reforming for the past few days.

Although Qing Xuan's Shenzu Scripture was not the most refined techniques, it could turn dynamic power into static power that flowed from the external to the internal of the body. It could improve the condition of a person's physical body and worked like a lubricant.
