Beidi County.

A mysterious ancient bronze ship, exuding a vast and ancient aura, suddenly appeared in the skies above the once desolate Extreme North Snowfield!

The ancient bronze ship floated a hundred zhang above the ground, and a few figures on the ship's side curiously looked around.

"Such a beautiful snowfield!"

"Is this Yangnao Land? The Spiritual Qi is indeed quite scarce!"

"What treasure could possibly be born in such a remote place?"

"Martial Uncle, could Hundred Beasts Mountain have made a mistake?"

On the bronze ship, the young women were chattering away, when suddenly, the light barrier behind them flickered, and a gigantic bird abruptly appeared in the sky!

Chirp!

As soon as the fierce bird appeared, it let out a sharp cry, causing the surrounding snow-laden pines to rustle.

Its flapping wings stirred up a strong wind, sweeping the snow on the ground forward.

"Are you from Luoxia Mountain?"

A rough voice boomed as if thunder were shaking the sky.

The women on the bronze ship frowned and turned around. A middle-aged woman in a plain silk dress with her hair in a bun slightly opened her lips, and a clear voice sounded.

"Pang Yu from Purple Mist Mountain greets Fellow Daoist Feng."

A bald man with muscles rippling like dragons on his body heard this and laughed heartily.

His body shot forth suddenly, like a cannonball, directly jumping onto the bronze ship.

Boom!

A dull thud resounded, and the terrifying force caused the bronze ship to shake.

"Tsk tsk, this Purple Mist Treasure Ship is indeed more comfortable than my Vajra Sect's shaggy birds!"

The burly man sniffed a few times, looking intoxicated, "Fragrant! Truly fragrant!"

Seeing his frivolous actions, Pang Yu's face turned somewhat displeased. She said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Feng Cang, is this how a Fetal Breathing Realm expert should behave?"

The man named Feng Cang grinned sheepishly and cupped his hands, "Feng is crude, my apologies."

Although he said this with his mouth, there was no trace of apology in his eyes, and Pang Yu could only suppress her anger.

The Vajra Sect was renowned across the Qishan Range.

It's not that the Vajra Sect was particularly strong, but in the eyes of other cultivators, these people were seen as lunatics!

Relying on their robust physical bodies, they would often engage in battles like humanoid fierce beasts.

"Immortal Fairy Pang, do you know what Hundred Beasts Mountain discovered in this Yangnao Land?"

Feng Cang did not wish to have a conflict with Luoxia Mountain and toned down some of his arrogance, asking.

Pang Yu shook her head slightly, "I only received news that two hundred years ago, a disciple of Hundred Beasts Mountain obtained an incomplete ancient text in the market, from which they discovered a secret hidden in Yangnao Land. As for the specifics, it's still unclear."

Feng Cang nodded, "I also heard that Hundred Beasts Mountain has been quietly sending people here for over a hundred years, yet have not succeeded. It seems that whatever it is, it's quite a remarkable treasure."

At this point, he smiled at Pang Yu, "Immortal Fairy Pang, since we are fated to meet, why not travel together?"

"When other Immortal Sects arrive, our two sects can work together for greater benefits."

Pang Yu frowned upon hearing this.

Unwarranted hospitality is never a good thing.

The Vajra Sect was known for being domineering in the Qishan Range, and she couldn't trust that Feng Cang would kindly choose to ally with Luoxia Mountain.

"It's really unfortunate. Before I came, our sect leader had already reached an agreement with Dean Pei of Qiyun Valley. If Vajra Sect wishes to join, I must discuss it with Dean Pei of Qiyun Valley."

"Dean Pei?"

"Is it that old codger Pei Zhao?" Feng Cang frowned slightly, seemingly having a dislike for Pei Zhao.

"Forget it, forget it, that old codger is just a stubborn old man, I find him annoying."

Just as he finished speaking, a barrier behind them flickered once again, and a massive flying shuttle appeared slowly.

"I was saying, why do I smell a foul odor even before entering Yangnao Land."

"Turns out someone is spouting nonsense here..."

No sooner had the flying shuttle appeared than Pei Zhao's voice was heard.

Upon hearing this, Feng Cang squinted his eyes and stared at the figure on the flying shuttle, enunciating each word, "Old codger, want to have a fight?"

Pei Zhao was unfazed, meeting his gaze calmly, "If you want to fight, then try it. This time, I want to see how much you've improved."

As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing an exquisite white jade plate.

Seeing the jade plate, the originally arrogant Feng Cang's face showed a trace of apprehension.

The cultivators of Qiyun Valley were skilled in the arts of pills and arrays, lacking in offensive methods.

But this doesn't mean that the cultivators of Qiyun Valley are pushovers.

Array Masters have a very peculiar talent, that as long as they are given enough time to set up an array, not to mention those of the same realm, even those a minor realm above could find it hard to break out once trapped inside.

The array plate in Pei Zhao's hand is one that can instantly activate a trapping array.

Although this trapping array is not strong, the time it buys is enough to set up multiple linked arrays and completely trap someone.

Feng Cang has clearly suffered in this regard before, knowing the prowess of arrays.

"Stop dawdling, are you going to fight or not, give me a word." Pei Zhao said, holding the array plate.

Feng Cang's expression changed, and ultimately he just snorted coldly and jumped back onto the fierce bird.

"Let's go!"

With his command, the fierce bird flapped its wings suddenly, flying away into the distance.

"These lunatics can only be deterred by Dean Pei." Pang Yu said with a smile, clasping his hands towards Pei Zhao, and noticed a young man standing behind him, carrying a sword.

Peak of Body Tempering Realm?

The two sects are friendly, she knows Pei Zhao's temper, but is puzzled why he brought a young man who hasn't even reached Qi Cultivation.

"Dean Pei, this is..."

Pei Zhao smiled slightly: "This is my newly accepted disciple who comes from this Yangnao Land. This time, I've brought him back to have a look at his home."

Pang Yu was slightly taken aback, then smiled wryly: "So, Qiyun Valley had long set its eyes on Yangnao Land."

"Dean Pei sure kept it tightly under wraps."

Pei Zhao chuckled awkwardly: "I was just going to have a chat with Fellow Daoist Pang. Since we've met, why not travel together?"

Pang Yu nodded: "Then please join us on the Treasure Ship, Dean Pei."

Pei Zhao put away the Flying Shuttle, grabbed Shen Wen'an, and leapt onto the Treasure Ship.

...

Black Water Pool, Shen Family.

Dusk was approaching, Hu Yufen and Huang Lingxiu were in the kitchen preparing meals, while Shen Yuan and Shen Wenping were in the courtyard playing with Xiao Chongming.

A figure slowly appeared at the courtyard gate.

Shen Yuan seemed to sense something and slowly stood up, turning to look.

He saw a young man standing with a sword, quietly watching him, his expression still calm, but there was unmistakable joy in his eyes.

"Ah Die."

The father and son looked at each other for a moment, and Shen Wen'an softly called out.

Shen Yuan went up smiling: "When did you return?"

"Came back yesterday with my master." As he spoke, his gaze fell on the baby carriage holding Shen Chongming, and he walked over slowly.

Pei Yuwan had already sent the letter back to him when she returned to Qiyun Valley.

Shen Wen'an bent down, looking quietly at the little one, but moments later, a pair of soft hands tugged at his ear.

"Hey! Have you no eyes for your sister?"

Shen Wen'an winced in pain, hurriedly pulling away.

"Sister."

"Hmph hmph..." Shen Wenping snorted in satisfaction, lifting her chin with a faint smile.

In the kitchen, Hu Yufen and Huang Lingxiu heard the commotion in the courtyard and walked out.

"Wen'an...?" Both spoke in unison, eyes full of surprise.

"Mother, sister-in-law."

Shen Wen'an forced a slight smile.

After an exchange of sentiments, Huang Lingxiu quickly spoke: "Mom, Wen'an's back, we need to add more dishes!"

"I'll go fetch a cured meat strip."

The two hurried to prepare more food, while Shen Wen'an came to Shen Yuan, taking down the bundle from his back.

"Ah Die, here's what I've saved up over the past year or so."

The bundle was opened, revealing three porcelain bottles, two purple talismans, a delicate cloth bag, and a large white jade plate carved with intricate patterns.

He picked up the white jade plate, saying: "This is an array plate, when set up it can create an illusion array to conceal one's presence."

"These three bottles are Qi Nourishing Pills, with ten pills in each."

"There are five Spirit Crystal Fragments in the cloth bag."

"These talismans, when activated with a little Spiritual Qi and thrown, can unleash an attack at the fifth layer of the Fetal Breathing Realm."

Looking at these items, Shen Yuan was somewhat astonished.
