Chapter 25

Good Wine

Hearing Shen Daoming’s question, Xu Qianhe thought for a moment and replied,

“Setting up a low-grade Level 2 defensive array is not a problem.

However, it will probably take some time if we want to set up a mid-grade Level 2 defensive array.

A low-grade Level 2 array is probably not enough in this place. It’s best to set up a mid-grade Level 2 array and let a Foundation Establishment cultivator guard it.

That way, even if late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators come over, it will be impossible for them to get their hands on this tree.”

At this point, Xu Qianhe paused for a moment before continuing,

“In my opinion, it’s best if we can move the people in Canyon City over or build another city with this tree as the center and integrate Canyon City dozens of kilometers away.

That way, with the Level 2 spiritual vein here and the Level 1 spiritual vein in Canyon City, we can absolutely create a Level 2 cultivation city.

At that time, the population and influence of the Shen Immortal family will definitely rise to another level.”

Xiong Wandao’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

He turned to look at Shen Daoming and said, “I think what Old Xu said makes sense.

If we can really build a Level 2 cultivation city here, it will definitely be very beneficial to the Shen Immortal family.”

At this moment, Shen Daoming was obviously tempted.

He thought for a moment and said, “The suggestion is indeed not bad, but the construction of a Level 2 cultivation city involves a lot of things. I need to hold a family elders’ meeting.

After the meeting is over, it will not be too late for us to decide.

By the way…”

At this point, Shen Daoming seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Jiang Chengxuan and say,

“Elder Jiang, I forgot to introduce you to someone.

“This is Xu Qianhe, Elder Xu. He is a Level 2 array master of the Shen Immortal family.”

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Qianhe and smiled.

“Elder Xu, this is Elder Jiang, Jiang Chengxuan I mentioned to you before we came.”

“Hehe, Elder Jiang is really young and promising. Nice to meet you.”

Xu Qianhe was quite polite. He smiled and cupped his fists at Jiang Chengxuan.

Jiang Chengxuan quickly returned the greeting.

Just now, when Shen Daoming and the others were talking, Shen Ruyan had already secretly sent him a voice transmission to introduce Xu Qianhe.

Xu Qianhe was a guest elder of the Shen Immortal family. He had been in the Shen Immortal family for nearly a hundred years and was a good friend of the previous head of the Shen Immortal family.

It was also because of this that Xu Qianhe had done a lot for the Shen Immortal family in the past hundred years. Moreover, he had nurtured many junior array masters for the Shen Immortal family.

Therefore.

Although he was only a guest elder, his status in the Shen Immortal family was not inferior to those core elders at all.

At this moment, everyone was preparing to go back.

But the question was, who should stay?

After all, they couldn’t leave this place unguarded.

Moreover, one person was probably not enough.

Unless Shen Daoming, a ninth level Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, stayed behind.

However, as the head of the Shen Immortal family, it was obviously unlikely for him to stay.

Xu Qianhe needed to go back and make preparations for setting up the array, so it was impossible for him to stay too.

Between Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, at least one of them had to go back and explain what happened.

Now, the people who would stay were either Jiang Chengxuan and Xiong Wanren or Liu Ruyan and Xu Wanren.

“I’ll stay.”

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan spoke.

Before leaving, Shen Ruyan sent a voice transmission to Jiang Chengxuan.

“Elder Jiang, don’t worry. After going back, I will mention your contributions and help you get more rewards.”

“Alright, thank you, Elder Ruyan.”

Jiang Chengxuan smiled and thanked Shen Ruyan.

This was the benefit of letting Shen Ruyan go back. She was from the Shen family and should have more say than him, an outsider.

After the figures disappeared from the horizon, Xiong Wandao turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan and said with a chuckle,

“Elder Jiang, it’s been more than three years since we last met, right?

Previously, we agreed to get together when we had time, but we couldn’t find the time.

Now, the time has finally come.”

As he spoke, Xiong Wandao took out a pot of wine and two glasses from his body. Then, he gestured to Jiang Chengxuan.

“What do you think? Elder Jiang, do you want to drink with me?”

Jiang Chengxuan found it hard to decline Xiong Wandao’s hospitality.

“In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony.”

“Haha!”

Xiong Wandao immediately laughed and nodded.

“We’re both elders of the Shen family. There’s no need to stand on ceremony with me.”

As he spoke, Xiong Wandao had already filled a glass of wine for him and Jiang Chengxuan.

In an instant, a rich wine fragrance wafted out.

As soon as Jiang Chengxuan took a sniff, he vaguely felt that the True Essence in his body was showing signs of activity.

This immediately surprised him and he couldn’t help but praise. “Good wine!”

“Hehe, not bad, right?”

Xiong Wandao smiled smugly.

He said, “My wine is called Spiritual Abyss Intoxication. I spent 49 types of Level 1 spiritual herbs and three types of Level 2 spiritual herbs to make it. It took me a full ten years.

Many restaurants in the market offered a high price to buy my recipe, but I didn’t agree.

Come, Elder Jiang, let’s toast.”

Xiong Wandao was the first to raise the wine glass.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan quickly raised his wine glass and clinked it with Xiong Wandao.

“It seems like I’m in for a treat today.”

Jiang Chengxuan knew very well that the price of the spiritual wine made from so many spiritual herbs was definitely not cheap.

Soon, the two of them finished the wine in their glasses.

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan felt that the True Essence in his body had suddenly become unprecedentedly active.

With a slight circulation of the cultivation technique, he quickly completed a small cycle.

The strength of his True Essence actually increased slightly as well.

This made him full of praise. “It’s indeed good wine!”
