Chapter 612 - 244: The Third Great Harvest
Copper Pot?
Shen Yuan was slightly taken aback, "Is it the Copper Pot that can condense Spiritual Liquid?"
Shen Xiubai nodded.
He always felt that the Copper Pot was somehow linked to the Spirit Gathering Array. If he could thoroughly research it, even if he couldn’t figure out how to set up a Spirit Gathering Array within the Dantian, it might still be possible to complete the fragmentary Spirit Gathering Array.
"Child, if you need a Spirit Crystal, just go directly to your uncle. The family’s resources are at your disposal."
"That Copper Pot condenses Spiritual Liquid very slowly and cannot meet the needs of cultivation."
Shen Yuan contemplated for a moment and spoke.
He thought Shen Xiubai wanted the Copper Pot to use the Spiritual Liquid inside for cultivation.
Cultivators absorbing Spiritual Liquid is better than absorbing Spirit Crystals.
But the Copper Pot can only condense one drop of Spiritual Liquid every six months, and the Spiritual Power within one drop of Spiritual Liquid is not much different from a piece of Spirit Crystal.
"Great-grandfather misunderstood, Xiubai only wants to look at the array on the Copper Pot."
Shen Xiubai quickly explained.
Only then did Shen Yuan realize that the Copper Pot could autonomously absorb ambient Spiritual Qi and condense it into Spiritual Liquid, which certainly required an array.
"Wait, great-grandfather will go get it for you."
Slowly rising to his feet, he went to the third floor, where Shen Yuan took the Copper Pot from the antique shelf. He gently shook it and found that there were still dozens of drops of Spiritual Liquid inside, and he didn’t take them out, instead brought it all down directly.
"Xiubai, this Copper Pot is quite a treasure. You may study it, but make sure not to damage it."
The Copper Pot was something he had brought out from the Dragon Tamer’s Mansion back in the day.
The condensed Spiritual Liquid is greatly beneficial in refining High Tier Elixirs.
This time, Shen Chonghong risked his life bringing back a complete inheritance of Alchemy Dao from Huaisang, and it won’t be long before the Shen Family produces a Pill Master.
This Copper Pot will be of great use for the future development of the Alchemy Dao.
Shen Xiubai accepted the Copper Pot and nodded slightly, "Don’t worry, great-grandfather, Xiubai just wants to study the array on it."
He fondly stroked the array pattern on the surface of the Copper Pot, feeling quite delighted.
"There should still be dozens of drops of Spiritual Liquid inside. You can refine and absorb them over these days to see if it advances your Cultivation."
Shen Wenxing and his son always intended to keep Shen Wen’an’s Pill Qi for his daughter Shen Wenping.
Such would inevitably delay Shen Xiubai’s cultivation.
He could only find ways to make up for it.
"Yes, great-grandfather."
Shen Xiubai respectfully stood up after bowing.
"Great-grandfather, Xiubai will take his leave first."
The young fellow’s humble and courteous demeanor felt somewhat unfamiliar to others.
Shen Yuan secretly sighed and nodded, "Go ahead, should you need anything, come directly to great-grandfather."
The juniors of the "Xiu" generation were not very close to him, but Shen Xiubai was quite special.
Primarily because he bore the responsibility of the Shen Family’s Array Dao resurgence, and on the other hand, Shen Yuan felt a sense of guilt towards the branch of the late second elder, Shen Wenyan.
Especially Shen Chongxu, who was far away in the Southern Border. Although he left the family in anger, in the end, he still lived frugally, sending accumulated cultivation resources back to the family from afar.
...
In the rear courtyard of the manor, within the pavilion.
Shen Wenxing gazed at Xu Zhan in front of him with a rather complicated expression.
"I anticipated that your Cultivation would soon surpass mine, but I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly."
"Since you apprenticed under me, in just over ten years, I’ve watched you soar all the way from the Body Cultivation First Realm, achieving the strength of the Peak of the Fourth Realm today."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhan slightly bowed and said, "This disciple merely employed some cleverness."
"Moreover, it was master’s guidance that laid a solid foundation for this disciple; otherwise, even with the opportunity, I may not have been able to make a breakthrough."
Upon hearing these words, Shen Wenxing smiled.
"You rascal, stop trying to flatter your master to earn points."
"In truth, over the years, I haven’t taught you much."
His words were indeed facts.
In the over ten years that Xu Zhan had been apprenticed under him, aside from some fundamental Body Cultivation aspects and the cultivation techniques of the ’Azure Dragon Force’, he hadn’t really taught much else.
Xu Zhan’s accomplishments today were all due to his own efforts.
Although tremendous luck played a role in this, luck itself is also a part of one’s own strength.
"Xu Zhan, with your current strength, there’s indeed not much more I can teach you."
"However, You’Er’s grandfather once speculated about the realms above the Fourth Realm of Body Cultivation."
"I think this material should have some reference value for you."
Shen Wenxing said as he handed over a Jade Scroll.
The content within the Jade Scroll was what Shen Yuan, during his breakthrough through the Fourth Realm and undergoing a Life and Death Tribulation, inferred regarding the general direction of the Body Cultivation in the Fifth and Sixth Realms through the ’Azure Dragon Force’.
Xu Zhan respectfully accepted the Jade Scroll, carefully observing it for a moment. A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
"Qi Blood and Spiritual Power unite, Physical Body Carrying Divine Power!"
"The old ancestor is truly remarkable; this disciple never even thought of this point!"
"The Fifth Realm as Spirit Transformation, the Sixth Realm as Divine Power. Seeing this, the disciple experiences a sense of sudden enlightenment."
Seeing him like this, Shen Wenxing nodded with a smile.
This son-in-law of his indeed understands human relationships quite well. Although there were bits of flattery in these words, they were also factual.
The path of cultivation is precisely like this.
If one relies on oneself to explore, sometimes a minor challenge can trap a cultivator for years or even centuries!
Until ultimately, the lifespan is exhausted, it’s still possible that one may never overcome that threshold.
In fact, this threshold might only require a single word from someone else to reveal a general direction, allowing one to easily cross it.
The Shen Family lacks a cultivation direction beyond the Fourth Realm of Body Cultivation.
Father Shen Yuan’s deductions from the ’Azure Dragon Force’ regarding the future cultivation path for Body Cultivation can be considered a beacon for their many Body Cultivators.
"Master, this disciple has a certain statement, and I am uncertain if it is appropriate to say it."
