The Rise of the Shen Family

　　Shen Ruiling picked a wing room on the east side and said to the two of them:

　　 "Uncle Jiu, Friends Zhou, I went in first."

　　 "Well, let's rest and rest, I've been on the way for a day." After finishing speaking, Shen Huanming also picked a room and went in. Zhou Qiao arched his hands in front of the two and chose a room next to Shen Huanming.

　　 Shen Ruiling walked into the room. The room was divided into two areas, one for the guests, a table and several chairs. The inside is a place for cultivating and meditation, and a bed is covered with a pad. There is also a censer next to it, and there is a calming scent coming out of it.

Sitting on a cat mat, Shen Ruiling ran the "Qingyun Jue" and began to practice, but the spirit vein here was a second-tier middle grade, which could not meet Shen Ruiling's training needs. He took out two spirit stones from the storage jade box. , Hold one piece in one hand, and run the exercises to absorb the spiritual power in the spiritual stone.

　　 As Shen Ruiling exhaled a suffocating breath, the two spiritual stones in his hand also turned into powder and scattered. After almost an hour of meditation and rest, the consumption along the way was restored.

　　 A respectful voice sounded at the door,

　　 "Senior, my master has already set up a banquet in the lobby for seniors to wash away the dust."

　　 "Okay, you know, I'll come right away." Shen Ruiling replied, and at the same time got up and stood up.

　　 Shen Ruiling opened the door and saw Zhou Qiao coming out. Zhou Qiao smiled:

　　 "Little friend Shen, together."

　　 "Where is my Jiu Shugong?" Shen Ruiling wondered why Shen Huanming didn't come out.

　　 "Shen Daoyou has been invited by the guard, let's go quickly." After speaking, he walked towards the lobby.

　　The corridor twists and turns, passing through the exquisite and gorgeous buildings. Along the way, there are many family servants who say hello. These mortals have been here for a long time, and they are not so curious about the cultivators.

　　 Shen Ruiling ignored them and walked proudly towards the lobby with Zhou Qiao. It took about half a time before I walked to a building.

　　 Shen Ruiling couldn't help but mutter secretly:

　　 "This mansion is really big, but it looks like a rich family."

　　 In front of the building, there is a middle-aged man standing in the early stage of Qi training, dressed as a literati, with a kind look on his face.

　　 Seeing the two of Shen Ruiling, they immediately greeted them with a smile on their faces, and said:

　　 "Please among the two seniors, my father is waiting for the two inside." The other party is not only enthusiastic, but also puts a very low posture.

　　 The two Shen Ruiling followed the middle-aged man into the lobby. What greeted you was a hall with carved beams and painted buildings. There was also a picture of the lake view hanging on the wall. The sunrise was in the east, which was quite poetic. In the hall, several wooden tables have been set up, and they are all carved with sandalwood. And Shen Huanming and Shen Huantong are already sitting on the main table.

　　 Seeing the arrival of the two of Shen Ruiling, Shen Huantong got up to welcome:

　　 "Two fellow Taoists, please sit down."

　　 Shen Ruiling took a look, and the three of them added Shen Huantong on the table. The three of them were all monks in the late stage of Qi training, and Yun Bifeng was still up and down. The one who could sit with them was Shen Huantong with the title of guard.

　　Shen Huantong raised his glass to respect the three of Shen Ruiling:

　　 "You Lao three fellow Taoists are here."

　　 "Although you and I are unfamiliar, they are also children of the same generation in the family. You are a guard, so you are welcome." Shen Huantong said.

　　 After a while,

　　 Shen Huantong pointed to Shen Ruiling and said:

　　 "I have been away from the mountain for many years, and I don't know who this little friend is. I have such a cultivation level at such a young age. It is really the blessing of my Shen family."

　　 "He is the grandson of the second brother's family."

　　 "It really is a dragon and a phoenix among people."

　　 "You are polite." Shen Ruiling evaded modestly.

　　……

　　 As the dishes were served, Shen Ruiling found that most of them were fresh from the lake. The products in the water accounted for the majority, and they looked like they were drafted by water.

　　 Shen Huantong pointed to a few dishes and said:

　　 "These are the three great dishes in Binhu Town, the three treasures of Zhenze."

　　 "The Three Treasures of Zhenze?" I was taken aback for a moment, and then I thought of what I saw in the family Scripture Pavilion.

　　The famous food produced in Zhenze Lake in Linhai County is named after the three-flavored lake of ice fish, crystal shrimp, and spirit clam. Therefore, it is called "The Three Treasures of Zhenze".

　　 Yibao is an ice fish, more than two inches long, slightly rounded in length, shaped like a hosta, boneless and intestinal, delicate and transparent, and its color resembles silver. It is named after its transparent body and crystal whiteness.

　　 Fish is tender and rich in aura. It can be compared to refining a spiritual stone under an ice fish. It is even more excellent for practitioners with water attributes. Because of its pure water spiritual power, it is deeply loved by water monks.

　　 Two treasures are crystal shrimps with whiskers on the head, claws on the chest, protruding eyes, and fan-shaped tails. Most of them grow in open shallows with luxuriant aquatic plants and calm waves. The shell of the crystal shrimp is thin, and the whole body is transparent and crystal clear as jade when it is born, with slight brown markings. The sweetness of food has an unexpected effect on the cultivating cultivator.

　　 The three treasures are spirit mussels, which are large mussels that live in Zhenze Lake. After years of precipitation, mussel beads are produced in the body. Although this clam meat also has the effect of replenishing spiritual power to the monks. But the mussel beads bred from this spirit clam are the real treasure.

　　 The average monk can't just tell his age from his face. Before the age of sixty, the qi training monk can look twenty years younger than his actual age, and he will slowly grow old after he is sixty.

　　 Once the monk builds the foundation, his life will be doubled. During the Qi training period, he may be an elderly monk. In the life of the foundation period, he will only be middle-aged, and his appearance will also become middle-aged.

　　 Take Shen Huanchi as an example. He has practiced for almost a hundred years, and his life span is only half past, so he appears to be middle-aged. However, some elderly people in their eighties and nineties are already very old.

　　 The biggest effect of mussel beads is that it can delay aging for monks. Although lifespan will not increase, it can make people look much younger. It already has the effect of a little hydrating pill.

　　 Therefore, this kind of mussel beads is very popular among female cultivators during the Qi training period. Even some female cultivators at the foundation stage cannot avoid being vulgar. I am afraid that only Jindan cultivators will ignore this skin bag when they reach a certain level.

The benefits of the Zhenze Three Treasures are huge, so most of the benefits of these things are taken up by the Qingyunmen. They set up a special fishery on the Nanhu Lake to raise these aquatic products and bring wealth to the Zongmen. .

　　 Shen's family is able to mix soup and drink because of a geographical advantage, but they can also earn thousands of spiritual stones every year.

　　……

　　 "Come on, this ice fish is fresh, I sent someone to catch it just now. You must know that this fish will die as soon as it gets out of the water, and the effect will be much worse." Shen Huantong introduced proudly.

　　 "You are still going down to the lake at this time, fellow Taoist is interested." Zhou Qiao said with a smile, and put a piece in his bowl at the same time.

　　 Shen Ruiling held a piece of fish meat, and suddenly turned into a wisp of spiritual power and penetrated into the abdomen, and the exercise was refined. Shen Ruiling felt that his spiritual power had actually increased a little, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

　　 "It is worthy of being hailed as a treasure of Zhenze." Shen Ruiling said in the book before that he didn't feel anything, and now I really feel its benefits after tasting it.

　　 You must know that although the Shen family can catch some ice fish by relying on Zhenze Lake, but without the foundation building monks or the third-order flying monsters, these fish will often die halfway.

　　 So the family usually salvaged them and sold them to the Qingyunmen monks in Nanhu in exchange for the spirit stones, and there would be no good fortune on Yunbi Peak.

　　"This spirit clam was sent by Yangshan Lu's family. Although there is no mussel beads, the meat is also very good for spiritual food~www.readwn.com~ Shen Huantong introduced again.

　　 "Yangshan Lu's family?" Shen Ruiling looked puzzled.

　　 "A qi training affiliated family also faces Zhenze Lake, almost five hundred miles away. You don't know if you don't manage family affairs." Shen Huanming explained after seeing it.

　　 Although Shen Ruiling likes to read some books in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the family is really inferior to some elders in charge of affairs.

　　 "It is said that they should also be affected by this flood, but their mountain gate is there, and there are two Dzogchens in the clan, much better than us." Shen Huanming thought for a while and said.

　　……

　　 Then a few people on the table began to discuss the deployment of Binhu Town.

　　 "I have ordered people to block the river, and ballistas have been installed on the walls, but these mortal weapons can only be useful for some Tier 1 monsters, and above Tier 2 are useless." Shen Huantong said.

"It would be great if a mortal could help us solve a part of Tier 1 monsters. We cultivators can solve Tier 2 monsters. This time we brought four Cloud Piercing Crossbows from Yunbi Peak to match the magic circle here. As long as they don’t We will be able to hold the third-order monsters when they come." Shen Huanming also expressed his opinion.

　　 "It's impossible for Tier 3 monsters. I have been a guard here for 20 years. I have floods every year. I haven't seen Tier 3 monsters once." Shen Huantong laughed.

　　……

　　 "Everyone, go back and rest well, keep your spiritual energy full, and at the same time let the mortals reinforce the fortifications, and be ready to fight back at any time." Shen Huanming ordered.

　　 Shen Huanming not only has the cultivation base of nine levels of Qi training, but also the elders of the family Huanzi generation. The tribesmen brought down from Yunbifeng, and the tribesmen in Binhu Town, all regard him as their heads.

　　 After the banquet, all the group returned to their residence by themselves and got ready.
