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

Chapter 234 Clouds move in all directions
Shen Shenliang truly regretted it.

If time could turn back

He will definitely slap himself hard for being blinded by the spirit stone an hour ago!

These people, who clearly possess the strength to contend with true cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, are willing to remain unknown and endure in this remote place.

Such a ruthless person,
How could he possibly provoke someone like that?!

But unfortunately,
Everything is already a fait accompli and cannot be changed.

not to mention,
Earlier, he had used a commanding tone to instruct that man's men to go to their deaths, buying them time to escape.
This undoubtedly offended the other party even more deeply.

Every time I think of this,
Shen Shenliang couldn't help but want to slap himself again!
The issue now is no longer about spirit stones, but about whether we can save our lives.
but,

In this great battle, Shen Shenliang was ultimately an insignificant figure.

Regardless of his response.
Even if dead,
It won't generate many waves either.

Not many people would pay attention to him.

because,

at this time,

With the end of the battle,

News about the events surrounding this battle spread rapidly in all directions with lightning speed!
The news caused an enormous sensation wherever it went!

"Xu Ziming, a demonic cultivator from the Southern Yue Kingdom, invaded Dawan Village but was killed by Shen Changchuan, the village's guardian!"

"After three hundred years, a peerless figure has once again emerged in the Southern Region, using the Qi Refining Realm to defeat and kill a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!"

Unbelievable news
It quickly spread to every corner of the cultivation world in the Southern Region!
Countless eyes immediately focused on Dawan Village!
The topic was hotly debated on the streets.

In other cultivation cities, whether it was the geniuses from various places, the mature and prudent elders in major forces, or even some ascetic cultivators who rarely paid attention to changes in the outside world, they all paid close attention to this matter.

"To defeat and kill a Nascent Soul cultivator while only at the Qi Refining stage? Has such a monstrous talent risen again since the destruction of the Elephant Mountain Sect?"

"Who is Shen Changchuan? I've never heard of him before. Could he be a prodigy secretly cultivated by the Shen family of Tiannan, only to be revealed now?"

"That person is indeed from the Shen family of Tiannan, but it would be a mistake to give him all the support he deserves. It is said that Shen Changchuan is the illegitimate son of Shen Fuxing, the patriarch of the Shen family of Tiannan, but he has not received any attention or training from the family. After many years of cultivation, he has only reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refining, and his strength is quite mediocre. It was only a little over a year ago that he fled to the outskirts of the family, presumably to avoid internal strife, and that's when he began to rise to prominence."

"Reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining in just over a year, and possessing the strength to kill a Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator? Are you kidding me!"

"Anyone can find out about this kind of thing, would I lie to you? Shen Changchuan has been staying in Dawan Village for more than a year, and many people know some things about him. However, it is said that he has been hiding his true strength because of the Shen family's eldest wife. It was only today, when the demonic cultivator Xu Ziming from the Southern Yue Kingdom attacked, that he was forced to take action and reveal his true strength!"

"Such a patient and reserved person might not have only been at the peak of the third level of cultivation a year or so ago. Perhaps they had already put on a disguise a long time ago."

"I don't care about Shen Changchuan's background. I just want to know how he did it! According to the rumors, he killed a demonic cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage in just three moves? Even novels wouldn't dare to write something like that!"

"As I said, Xu Ziming was injured and careless, and Shen Changchuan seized the opportunity and decided the outcome with one strike."

"But it shouldn't be that easy, right?"

"The power of a treasure is not necessarily impossible."

Countless people were discussing it.
Inspired by this, some young geniuses set Shen Changchuan as their future goal to surpass.

Some seasoned and prudent senior figures from powerful organizations frowned, wondering if this would stir up another storm.

Some people simply don't believe it, thinking it's just a bunch of people spouting nonsense.

These are personal opinions, and everyone may have different views.

But no matter what,
The name Shen Changchuan
In a very short time, it had become famous far and wide! A certain manor...
"Not bad, not bad at all. As expected of a son of the Shen family, he has accomplished such a great feat!"

After reading the news about Shen Changchuan that Shen Tingchu had collected, which was already circulating widely outside, the patriarch of the Shen family stroked his long beard, nodded with a smile, and nodded in agreement.

"Congratulations, Ancestor! The younger generation of the clan has achieved great success, and the clan is on the verge of prosperity!"

Upon seeing this, Shen Tingchu below couldn't help but offer his congratulations.

to be frank,
He was completely shocked when he first heard the news.

I think it was about a year ago when we first met.

How strong was that kid back then?

It seems he's only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, right?

In just one year,
His cultivation level has not only reached the mid-stage of the ninth level, but he is also able to challenge and kill demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage?!
He naturally recognized the demonic cultivator named Xu Ziming. Not long ago, he had severely injured him. If it weren't for the ancestor using the family's secret communication method to summon the Shen clan members, he would have pursued and killed him without hesitation.

But even so,

Able to directly blast the opponent to death.

That's enough to show how extraordinary Shen Changchuan is!
Regardless of whether it was a lucky break or just a fluke, this record at least proves that the opponent possesses the means to kill a true cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage!
One year,

From a mere sixth level of Qi Refining cultivation, to reach such a level...
This truly shocked Shen Tingchu.

"It seems that the decision to invest in this person was the right one. Using the Qi Refining Realm to fight against the Nascent Soul Realm, once he advances to the Nascent Soul Realm, his strength will probably not be too bad!"

"If he can maintain this rate of improvement after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, then he'll have made an even bigger profit!"

Thinking of this,

Shen Tingchu's heart was also burning with excitement.

There is no such thing as love without a reason in this world.
His initial gesture of goodwill, offering cultivation experience as a token of goodwill,

Naturally, there are plans for future profits involved.
Originally, this was a strategy of casting a wide net, but unexpectedly, it actually caught up with a person who might be a hidden dragon!

This undoubtedly made Shen Tingchu extremely happy.

They immediately decided to add fuel to the fire.

"However, Ancestor, I have heard that the clan leader's wife is mean-spirited, petty, and vicious. Shen Changchuan should have been the darling of the Shen family, but he had to flee to Tiannan City because he was afraid of her.

"Should we immediately include him in the family's seed members, lest he be secretly harmed by that wicked woman?"

The so-called seed members,

Simply put, it means gathering the most talented and gifted younger members of the family and providing them with abundant resources to nurture these geniuses.

He, Shen Tingchu,

He was one of the seed members of the previous generation of the Shen family!

Upon hearing this, the Shen family patriarch closed his eyes.

After a moment of careful contemplation, he opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in his pupils.

"No, I have other plans for him!"
