My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 156 Got it

"Brother Chongshan, have we taken the wrong road? Is this still Dawan Village?"

Facing a six-month period,

The earth-shaking changes that have taken place in Dawancun have left not only Shen Shiying and his son bewildered.

Also returning were Shen Zhongshan and his entourage, who had made a great haul.

“My eyes aren’t blind yet; I can still recognize the three characters on that plaque.”

Shen Chongshan looked up, his gaze fixed on the plaque above the village gate, which bore the three bold, powerful characters of "Dawan Village." His voice was deep and resonant.

His expression was also rather unpleasant.

"But how is that possible?!"

"Could it be that the village rumored to have a merchant guild that can trade cultivation resources is actually this Dawan Village?"

Shen Rongguang stared blankly at everything before him.
Deep down, I really didn't want to believe what I was seeing.

And the others,

They all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Obviously, this was unexpected.
In less than half a year,
That ordinary village back then has now undergone a dramatic transformation, rivaling even ordinary towns!
"To think they could make it so prosperous, they must be raking in so many spirit stones!"

"No wonder he's unwilling to go on adventures with us. He can earn a lot of spirit stones just by sitting here. Why would he need to risk his life to go through all sorts of mountain ravines?"

Shen Cunrui couldn't help but murmur to himself, momentarily lost in thought.

Who would have thought that seemingly ordinary person would possess such abilities!

Although Shen Cunrui spoke in a low voice,

But everyone present was a cultivator; how could they not hear it?
Shen Zhongshan, who was in the lead, turned even darker.

"Alright, let's go in and pay our respects to that young master Shen Changchuan."

"It just so happens that there is a merchant's inn here. After we finish cleaning out the items in our storage bags and rest for a bit, we can set off again."

"This is a good thing for us too."

In the reception hall,
Shen Shiying and Shen Zhongshan's groups unexpectedly met.

As fellow members of the Shen family,

While they were drinking tea and waiting, the group quickly began chatting animatedly.

On the surface, they were all very enthusiastic.

They chatted about everything under the sun, discussing their experiences and the current situation.

The atmosphere in the air became several degrees more enthusiastic.

"I am truly sorry, everyone. I was late because I was preoccupied with some important matters."

"Please forgive me for not greeting you properly."

"Young Master Changchuan, you flatter me. I only waited a little while. Besides, if it weren't for such a good opportunity today, how could I have met someone like Brother Chongshan?"

"We should be thanking Young Master Changchuan."

"Young Master Changchuan, on the other hand, is very busy with various affairs while overseeing this region, something I have also experienced."

"Given the current state of development in Dawan Village, there must be countless issues that are difficult to resolve in a short time. With so many troubles swirling around, the fact that Young Master Changchuan was still able to take the time to come in person shows that he thinks highly of us."

"Oh, what's the trouble? There's no other way; after all, we're doing this for important figures in the family."

"Oh, it seems that Young Master Changchuan has gained the favor of one of the elders in the family who is at the Nascent Soul stage, and has been personally instructed on matters?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Shiying laughed and teased,
He just had a smile on his face.

A sense of solemnity settled over me, and I felt a sudden realization.

So it turns out he was working for an elder in the family who had reached the Nascent Soul stage. No wonder he was able to develop to this level in such a short time!
I see,

No wonder, no wonder!
It's just a pity.
In that case, I wouldn't be able to get a share of the profits from this trip.

Shen Shiying's expression remained unchanged.
But in his heart, he felt a pang of regret.

"Not at all, it was just doing some things for the clan elders. Although I received some benefits, those things weren't simple. Otherwise, why would I have gone to such lengths?"

Shen Changchuan spoke somewhat vaguely.

Half of it was a cover-up.

Half of it was a leak.

Some things don't need to be said outright.
Let them go back and fill in the blanks themselves.

"Is the family elder that Young Master Changchuan mentioned Elder Shen Tingchu?"

Not far away, Shen Chongshan suddenly spoke up.

Shen Changchuan and Shen Shiying's eyes also immediately focused on him.

"good."

"Speaking of which, I seem to recall you mentioning that you asked your clansmen to do something before. Could it be..." "Senior Shen Tingchu did indeed approach us, but we only reported some information and received a few pointers. It's different from what happened with Young Master Changchuan."

Shen Chongshan nodded, acknowledging the matter.

Back in Wujiaji, he did indeed have contact with Elder Shen Tingchu.

just,

The way people are treated is truly incomparable!

Shen Chongshan glanced at him with a hint of envy.

Compared to them, this one is the one who has won that person's favor!
Not only were important responsibilities entrusted to him, but he also laid such a great foundation for his enterprise.

Yes,

In Shen Zhongshan's view,

This village of Dawang has become so prosperous.
It was all thanks to the help of that senior, Shen Tingchu, behind the scenes.

if not,

How could a mere Qi Refining Stage 4 or 5 kid establish such a great foundation?
Speaking of which, when they entered the village, they also learned that the Blood Slaughter Demons had been ambushed and killed by the demons with their helpers.

He had heard of the reputation of the Blood Slaughtering Three Demons, and their strength was by no means weak.

They were able to kill their helpers.
Could it be that they are also Elder Shen Tingchu's people, or rather, that they used the elder's connections to mobilize people from his subordinate families?

It's connected!

Everything is connected!

Shen Chongshan suddenly realized something.
But at the same time,
Another thought flashed through his mind.
"Elder Shen Tingchu is so close to this person, could it be that the elder intends to invest in him?!"

"Hiss! This matter is of utmost importance; I'd better not get myself into trouble."

Thinking of this,

Shen Zhongshan's heart tightened.

At the same time, a hint of regret arose in his eyes.

I wish I hadn't come to this place.

"Ah, let's not talk about that."

At this moment, Shen Changchuan seemed to remember something, and slapped his forehead in annoyance.
"Since this senior gave the order in private, it's best not to let it become public knowledge. I would appreciate it if you could help me keep this a secret."

"If anything unexpected happens and ruins your plans, that would be troublesome."

Shen Changchuan stammered as he spoke.

"Young Master Changchuan, rest assured, we are not gossipy women. We have already forgotten about this matter when we got back!"

"Me too. I'm only here to collect the money. Nothing else matters to me, and the higher-ups won't care."

Shen Chongshan and Shen Shiying exchanged a glance, scrutinizing each other's noses and eyes.

They understood each other without saying a word.

He immediately patted his chest and made a promise to Shen Changchuan.

This comes from the bottom of my heart.
It concerns a Nascent Soul stage elder of a family, and may also be related to the struggle for succession.

This kind of thing
Too dangerous!

Once you get involved
One wrong move and you'll be capsized in the gutter.

They're just small fry at the Qi Refining stage; they shouldn't meddle.

This line,

Let's just pretend we didn't see anything.

"Then I'll have to trouble you all."

Seeing this scene,
Sensing the barely concealed unease in the eyes of the crowd below, Shen Changchuan cupped his hands in a salute.
"Don't dare!"

Everyone returned the greetings one after another.

I didn't see it.

Shen Changchuan's face was hidden by his sleeve.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

This is a scheme to intimidate others.

It's done.

It seems unlikely that Dawang Village will encounter any problems in the near future.
