The Shen Family Palace is very large and has a small population. Even if thousands of guests come, they still cannot fill all the guest rooms in the palace. Therefore, the real-life monk guests all live in a separate high-end small courtyard guest room.
There was a lot of excitement inside and outside the Shen family hall for most of the day. It was not until midnight that things gradually calmed down. Li Zhanqiang also came to the small courtyard where Yu Wen Zhouyuan was staying.
Many of the guests who came to Shen's Palace knew each other well, and visiting each other was a common occurrence and did not attract much attention.
Yuwen Zhouyuan had already been waiting in the room for a long time. When the two met, there was no nonsense and they went straight to the topic.
Li Zhanqiang took out a rough paper map from his storage bag, spread it out on the sandalwood desk, pointed at several places on the map, and said: "This is a simple map of the Shen Family Palace. I will spend it with you."
I paid a lot of money to bribe a slave from the Shen family to get it. I have searched most of the place in the palace carefully before, but I couldn't find the location of the Ying Yuan Fruit. Now there are still these five most tightly guarded places in the palace.
I haven't searched the places yet. Since we are working together next, we must act together. I will not take advantage of you. I will search three of them, you will search two of them, and you and I will sneak in separately.
Save time with these five locations.”
Yuwen Zhouyuan looked at the map carefully and memorized all the contents on the map.
But Yuwen Zhouyuan quickly frowned and said: "Brother Li, these five places are all deep inside the palace. I'm afraid they are all forbidden areas of the Shen Family Palace, right? Most of the forbidden areas of the Shen Family are tightly guarded."
"These places are most likely the medicinal gardens where the Shen family grows elixirs, secret rooms where spiritual objects are stored, or places where people practice in seclusion. Naturally, they are very tightly guarded. If they could come in and out at will, I would have already inspected them. Almost every place in these places has been inspected.
There are one or two real monks and more than ten real monks guarding each place, so it is not easy to sneak in. However, if you are good at stealth, stealth, etc., you can get in if you want. I think Brother Yuwen should be very proficient in this.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to the Dongluo River Immortal Realm, right?" Li Zhanqiang said.
"Brother Li, I wonder what the Infant Yuan Fruit looks like? If I find it, it will be easy to identify." Yuwen Zhouyuan suddenly asked out of curiosity.
Li Zhanqiang smiled coldly and said: "Well, this Infant Yuan Guo is so wonderful. If you are lucky enough to see it, you will naturally know what it looks like. There is no need to ask. Taking advantage of the Shen family's wedding in three days, let's go here separately.
After secretly exploring several forbidden areas, no matter how many Infant Yuan Fruits we find, the two of us will share half of them, how about that?"
After Yuwen Zhouyuan thought deeply, he agreed.
The two reached an agreement and Li Zhanqiang left.
Yuwen Zhouyuan looked at Li Zhanqiang's leaving figure, with a calm face, and a cold smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Because Yuwen Zhouyuan owns the "Tian Jue Pharmacopoeia", he naturally knows what the Infant Yuan Fruit looks like. However, Li Zhanqiang suggested that the two of them join forces, but they still refuse to tell him what the spiritual object is.
It can be seen from a small test that Li Zhanqiang obviously does not have the sincerity to truly cooperate with him.
It seems that after the two of them find the spiritual object, there will inevitably be a fight after they leave the Shen Family Palace.
If you prepare in advance, it’s hard to say who will win in the end.
What he has to consider now is the two forbidden areas he wants to explore.
What Yuwen Zhouyuan and Li Zhanqiang didn't know was that while they were secretly discussing the plan to obtain the Infant Yuan Fruit from the Shen Family Palace, at the same time, in the deepest part of the Shen Family Palace, there were three Shen Family members in a simple closed room.
The monks are discussing an extremely important matter.
This place is the most strictly guarded forbidden area in the Shen family palace. It is the place where Shen Jiepeng, the true king of the Shen family, retreats and meditates. Even the current head of the Shen family does not dare to step into the secret room without the summons of the Shen family ancestor.
In the minds of the Shen family, this place is the most authoritative and sacred place. All instructions that determine the future and destiny of the Shen family come from this secret room of the true master.
The Shen family's ability to grow from a small family to one of the few nine powerful forces in the Dongluo River Immortal Cultivation World in just this short period of nearly a thousand years is almost entirely due to the ancestors of the Shen family.
At this time, in the secret room, the indifferent old man sitting on the first thatched bed was clearly Shen Jiepeng, the nearly 2,000-year-old ancestor of the Shen Family Palace.
Opposite him, the two young monks who were very restrained and respectfully worshiped on the ground were the two brothers Shen Bingnan and Shen Bingkun. They were the two young heads of the Shen family.
The ancestor of the Shen family invited two people to come over and closed their eyes for a long time.
The two Shen brothers could not guess their ancestor's intention to suddenly call them here tonight, and they did not dare to speak casually.
"The next generation head of the Shen family will be one of you, and the other one will also go to Nightless Castle and become one of the deputy fort masters with real power." The ancestor of the Shen family opened his eyes. The first sentence made the brothers
The two of them were startled.
Shen Bingnan and Shen Bingkun looked at each other, their eyes full of suppressed joy. Although they were designated as the heirs of the Shen family since they were young, it all depends on the words of their ancestors.
The ancestor now summoned the two of them and promised them personally that their status within the family and sect would be as stable as a mountain.
"I, Shen Jiepeng, have lived for nearly two thousand years, and I have only a handful of life left. There are not many days left to live. The Shen family has prospered for a full thousand years under my care, but once I die, there will be no follow-up for the Shen family.
Do you understand that people must prosper and then decline?" Shen Jiepeng looked at them expressionlessly, his tone a little cold.
"Ancestor, you have always been in good health, you must never say such unlucky words!" Shen Bingkun said.
"Yes, why did our ancestors say such ominous words? Our ancestors still have a very long lifespan, and they will definitely reach the extremely high state of the true self stage within this period of time. Living for thousands of years is not a problem.
Ah." Shen Bingnan was startled and quickly knelt on the ground and said excitedly.
In the eyes of the two brothers, the ancestor of the Shen family is the supreme figure in the family. From birth to now, they have never seriously thought about the death of Shen Jiepeng.
Because they are very likely to die earlier than their ancestors.
"Okay, how long do I still have to live? I still don't know it?!" Shen Jiepeng raised his hand to stop the two of them from talking, and continued calmly: "I'm calling you brothers here today because of one thing.
The important matters need to be handled by the two of you."
"Ancestor, please speak!" The two brothers said respectfully.
"Our Dongluo River Immortal Realm was originally an ancient battlefield in the 'Dongzhou Divine Realm'. Every few hundred years, people from other immortal realms would enter here to explore and hunt for treasures. Some of these people left after finding treasures, and some chose to stay here.
, it can be said that the Dongluo River Immortal Cultivation World is developed and grown by those who stayed behind after countless years of management! It can be said that every time someone from other Cultivation Worlds enters here, there will be a big battle and a small battle. But surprisingly, the war becomes more and more serious.
Fight, the nine major forces in our Dongluo River Immortal Realm are becoming more and more prosperous, with no sign of decline. Why do you think this is?"
Shen Bingnan and Shen Bingkun looked at each other. They had only read about this once-in-a-thousand-year-old war in the world of immortals in ancient records. They treated it as a legend and ancient event. They didn't think about the rise and fall of it.
They are also in their thirties or forties, and they are young people. Most of their thoughts on weekdays are cultivation, increasing their own strength, improving their status in the family, and other things.
As for the long wars that have lasted for thousands of years in various major worlds of immortality, it is difficult for monks who do not have enough experience and low status to understand the key. However, this kind of experience requires an extremely long life to be able to enrich it.
Shen Jiepeng's face darkened but he looked unhappy. If he were an ordinary monk of the Shen family, he would naturally not need to consider these things, but if he wanted to become the head of the family, how could he not consider the long-term prosperity of the family.
"After those monks from other places came to the Dongluo River Cultivation World, the war broke out because of the treasure hunt and the monks like us protecting the treasure from outsiders. Every time after the war, there are many small sects and small families because of their weak strength.
They were weakened in the wars of the Immortal Cultivation World, or even exterminated. After each war, the territory they occupied would be greatly reduced, and the disciples of the sect took the opportunity to expand after the war and occupy more territory. Dongluo River Immortal Cultivation World
The reason why the nine major powers and other big families have become stronger and stronger over the past ten thousand years is precisely because of this." Shen Jiepeng flicked his long sleeves and said calmly.
Shen Bingnan and Shen Bingkun opened their mouths in surprise and were speechless in shock. Such words of Chi Guoguo's unscrupulous plunder, coming from the mouth of the ancestor of the Shen family, made it difficult for them to accept for a while.
Yes, both of them are naughty family disciples. They have done countless despicable things, corrupting women from good families, robbing treasures, and bullying their fellow disciples.
But in their eyes, the nine major forces of Five Cities, Three Castles and Shen Family Palace have always regarded themselves as fair and upright sects and would never mix with evil monks, and the true kings and ancestors of each sect are also arrogant and immortal.
The seniors are a group of talented monks who are most worthy of admiration and admiration. They are the goals that younger generations like them do not want to achieve every day.
The thoughts of the ancestors of the True Lords should be completely different from those of these naughty children.
But now, the two brothers have suddenly discovered that the bloodshed and cruel methods of the ancestors of the true kings of various sects are beyond the imagination of fledglings in the world of immortality like them. The lives of tens of thousands of monks are just used to provide food to the world.
The cornerstone of the sect's prosperity was laid, and the ancestor was buried in a single word.
Under Shen Jiepeng's cold gaze, they lowered their heads with palpitations.
"How do you think the nine major forces have become so powerful? Because of justice, fame and fortune, the nine major forces are becoming more and more prosperous today? That's all a joke. Since ancient times, wise men have discovered that people who live a long time
, in order to get more, so we, the immortal cultivators, all pursue living a long life. If you want to live a long time, you have to fight for it! You have to fight for longevity from the hands of destiny, no matter whether it is a human or a human being on the way.
Immortals, monsters or devils, anyone who blocks my way is an enemy and can be killed. If Shouyuan cannot be grabbed, the enemy cannot kill him, and he will be the one who dies." Shen Jiepeng continued speaking slowly, as if he was saying something very important.
Ordinary things.
The secret room seemed to become gloomy, making the two Shen brothers feel chilly, with a chill in their hearts.
