Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams-Chapter 301 - 191: True Technique

"First, let's report the situation here to the family."

"Right now, Big Brother has gone to the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm, it's uncertain whether he's returned. Third Uncle is in seclusion. We need Ah Die to find some reinforcements."

"Also, take away these Demon Essence Pills and some of the top-quality flesh and blood of the demon beasts."

"We can't waste the rest either. Let Elder Centipede's bugs clean up and lay some poison here for defense. It can hold them off for a while!"

After arranging everything, Shen Chonghong hurriedly rushed to the camp to urgently restore his Spiritual Power.

In front of the wooden hut at the camp, Xiao Hongxiao hesitated slightly upon seeing him approach, then stepped forward to say, "There's something I want to discuss with you."

Shen Chonghong nodded.

Xiao Hongxiao pinched the hem of her clothing and said softly, "I want to go back to Hundred Refinements Valley."

"Are you angry?" Shen Chonghong slightly frowned, his heart seemed to reveal a hint of disappointment.

Xiao Hongxiao shook her head repeatedly and explained:

"Hundred Refinements Valley specializes in refining a type of ancient standard equipment."

"I want to go back and ask Ah Die to craft some armor and weapons for the soldiers in the Western Wilderness."

"With that armor and weaponry, their strength and survival capabilities will be greatly enhanced..."

During the era of the Danzhou Immortal Dynasty, the ancestors of Hundred Refinements Valley specifically crafted equipment for the dynasty's soldiers.

However, the things they crafted were somewhat different from the Magical Artifacts refined by Immortal Dao Cultivators.

The biggest difference is that they cannot be activated by Spiritual Power.

Over long years, generations of cultivators from Hundred Refinements Valley have researched Artifact Refining, but they are no match for forces like Luoxia Mountain, which own relatively intact refining heritage from the Immortal Sect influence.

Shen Chonghong did not speak, seemingly considering something.

"Are you... going to allow it?"

Seeing no response, Xiao Hongxiao looked up and asked again.

After months of interactions, she hadn't realized she had become so obedient, relying entirely on Shen Chonghong's opinions.

Meeting her gaze, Shen Chonghong smiled faintly and said, "My Shen Family doesn't have that many Spirit Crystals to buy things from Hundred Refinements Valley."

Xiao Hongxiao seemed to anticipate his response and quickly said:

"I can decide to offer it to the Shen Family, but you have to agree to one thing."

Free of charge?

Shen Chonghong pondered slightly, probably guessing this girl's intentions.

"Let's hear it."

Xiao Hongxiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Hundred Refinements Valley wants to ally with the Shen Family."

After saying this, she looked nervously at Shen Chonghong.

Over the months, she discovered a hint from the demon beasts' attacks.

The demon beasts attacking the Shen Family and the ones appearing in Xiang County under Hundred Refinements Valley's rule should come from the same location.

Except the ones in Xiang County were just small scattered groups at the time.

If it's like today, even if Hundred Refinements Valley dispatches Fetal Breathing experts, they may suffer heavy losses!

The outside world thinks that Hundred Refinements Valley has kinship ties with the Vajra Sect.

But Xiao Hongxiao knows well that the relationship between the two families has been fading ever since the old Sect Leader of Hundred Refinements Valley passed away.

If anything happens in Xiang County, whether Vajra Sect would lend a hand that's dependent upon their mood.

She now just discovered that Hundred Refinements Valley's refined standard equipment is useful to the Shen Family, thus considering this opportunity for Hundred Refinements Valley to ally with the Shen Family.

Xiao Hongxiao also understands that this alliance isn't very meaningful to the Shen Family; some standard equipment isn't worth many Spirit Crystals.

Shen Chonghong quietly looked at her, naturally already seeing the guilty conscience from her nervous expression.

The reason he didn't immediately refuse was because he recalled the matters Big Brother entrusted.

Even though Hundred Refinements Valley's refining heritage isn't comparable to other Immortal Sects, it is ultimately stronger than the Shen Family.

If this time he can manage to marry this girl, it would remove some variables and troubles.

Now, Shen Chonghong doesn't have much warmth for Xiao Hongxiao, but at least he doesn't dislike her.

Months of interaction truly dispelled the anger of humiliation he once felt.

"I can't make that decision." With thoughts formed, Shen Chonghong responded calmly, "And I don't think Big Brother and Father would agree because of this."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongxiao's face flashed with deep disappointment, she thought to herself:

"Indeed, there's not a single easy-to-fool person in the Shen Family..."

"However, I do have a method."

Capturing her expressions fully in his sight, Shen Chonghong suddenly spoke.

Xiao Hongxiao eager asked, "What's the method?"

Shen Chonghong looked at her, smiling and said, "If you marry into the Shen Family... then Shen Family and Hundred Refinements Valley become kin, which is more reliable than an alliance."

Hearing this, Xiao Hongxiao's beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment, followed by a hint of anger, "Just say no if you disagree. Why humiliate me like this?"

While saying this, her eyes were covered already with water mist, looking at Shen Chonghong, extremely aggrieved.

"To think I thought this guy had a broad mind, yet turns out he's also a petty person!"

"This humiliation, perhaps a revenge for Seven Sages Mountain."

"But still, one can't blame others, since it was I who walked right into it..."

The more Xiao Hongxiao thought, the more aggrieved she felt, tears in her eyes were about to drop.

"I'm serious, marry me, and afterwards Shen Family and Hundred Refinements Valley will be one family."

Seeing her pitiful look, Shen Chonghong suddenly felt a little unwilling, he asked her calmly and seriously.

Xiao Hongxiao was stunned.

The grievance and anger in her heart, under Shen Chonghong's gaze, surprisingly dissipated instantly.

The charming face slightly blushed, she gradually lowered her head.

Feeling bewildered, just as her mouth was about to smile, Xiao Hongxiao abruptly warned herself.

"This guy surely still wants to humiliate me; I absolutely cannot let him get away with it!"

"Xiao Hongxiao, you must stay firm!"
