Chapter 266 I left my son without a penny!
No matter what the other forces in Feisha Fairy City think, it is an indisputable fact that the original five old Yuanying forces all chose to retreat when faced with the expansion and encroachment of the Sheng family. Even the Yuanying forces do not want to provoke the Sheng family, how dare other forces below the Yuanying level provoke and offend the Sheng family?
For a time, the Sheng family became the number one force in Feisha Fairy City.
Seeing that the Sheng family was becoming increasingly arrogant, Si Yuan gave them a warning, telling them to be confident but not to become too arrogant.
The most arrogant and insolent among them was the original owner's only son, Sheng Yunqi.
As the only son of the head of the Sheng family who is in the Nascent Soul stage and has the greatest support of the Sheng family, Sheng Yunqi can be said to be held in the palm of the hand and cared for by the entire Sheng family.
Even before the original owner broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he was already the head of the family at the peak of the Golden Core stage. He was the strongest person in the entire Sheng family, as well as the one in power and in charge of the Sheng family. There were countless people who fawned on Sheng Yun.
However, now that Si Yuan has demonstrated the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, even those family elders who were once in the Golden Core stage and had some checks and balances on the original owner, the head of the family, now obey Si Yuan's orders one by one and dare not disobey in the slightest.
The Sheng family can be said to have become Si Yuan's one-man show, which is the inevitable result of the cultivation world's great power being attributed to itself.
Sheng Yunqi, the only son of the head of the family who is in the Nascent Soul stage, is now flattered and coaxed by even the Golden Core stage elders. Si Yuan has temporarily entered into "seclusion" under the pretext of consolidating his cultivation and has no time to take care of him. Of course, he is like a tiger without a father in the mountain, so the little tiger declares himself king.
It was not until Si Yuan's cultivation and combat power in this world had been improved to the point where it could not be improved any more that he came out of seclusion and had time to pay attention to Sheng Yunqi, the only son of the original owner.
Although Si Yuan came to this world to complete a mission, he knew very well that the prerequisite for completing the mission was that he had absolutely strong strength, especially in this kind of cultivation world.
In the more than one hundred years that he had lived in the Tiancang Realm, Si Yuan had already witnessed too many tragedies caused by lack of strength.
Therefore, Si Yuan’s first thing in this world is to improve his strength as much as possible to the point where no one else in this world can threaten him so that he can feel at ease.
Only at this time did he have the mind to pay attention to the object of the mission, the original owner's son Sheng Yunqi.
At this time, Sheng Yunqi was only eighteen years old.
When Si Yuan traveled to this world, Sheng Yunqi was still a six-year-old child. Logically, he should have taught and trained Sheng Yunqi well when he was still very young, so as to prevent the child from repeating the same mistakes when he grew up.
But Si Yuan felt that the reason Sheng Yunqi and the Sheng family ended up like that in the original plot was ultimately because he and the Sheng family were not strong enough. In this world of cultivation where the strong prey on the weak, everything would be fine if one was strong enough.
So Si Yuan didn't bother with this adopted son for the time being, but focused on cultivation. Only after he improved his strength to the point where he could deal with all the dangers in this world would he be able to pay attention to other things.
If it were in an ordinary world without spirits, Sheng Yunqi would have been considered an adult at the age of eighteen, and his thoughts would have been fixed and difficult to teach.
But in the world of cultivation, the lifespan in the Foundation Establishment Stage is 200 years, and the lifespan in the Golden Core Stage is 500 years. Sheng Yunqi is still a child at the age of 18. There is plenty of time for him to teach the child well. Even if his temper is temporarily crooked and damaged, he can slowly correct it.
Si Yuan asked the attendant beside him, "Where is this child Yunqi?"
The attendants around Si Yuan were the confidants who had always followed the original owner, and Si Yuan did not want to change them. After all, he had been in seclusion for ten years before reappearing, and had broken through from the Jindan stage to the Yuanying stage. Even if there were any changes in his personality, the other party would think it was normal. In other words, even if the other party noticed something unusual or different, they would not dare to suspect that he had taken over another's body.
During these twelve years, Si Yuan was busy improving his strength and seldom asked about his adopted son Sheng Yunqi. However, no one dared to neglect Sheng Yunqi, and the servants around him were always paying attention to Sheng Yunqi's situation.
So when Si Yuan asked, the attendant was able to answer immediately: "Master, the young master is currently practicing in Hanpo Lake, and he is very diligent."
Si Yuan didn't comment and walked towards Hanpo Lake.
As a family of practitioners, the Sheng family’s main home occupies a very large area. They directly claimed a sacred mountain as their own and used it as their family residence.
There is a third-grade spiritual vein under this sacred mountain, which can be used for cultivation by Jindan-stage cultivators. It is also the base for the Sheng family's survival.
After Si Yuan displayed his Nascent Soul stage strength, other family elders suggested that they could find a way to occupy a second-grade spiritual vein to improve the family's foundation and also provide a means for Si Yuan, the Nascent Soul stage family head, to practice.
However, Si Yuan was too lazy to move as he thought it was too troublesome. After the Sheng family snatched several second-grade spiritual veins from the five old Yuanying forces, he moved all of these second-grade spiritual veins to the bottom of the Sheng family's spiritual mountain, and arranged them in the form of a spiritual array, which made the spiritual energy of the Sheng family's spiritual mountain surge several times.
Hanpo Lake is a treasured place for cultivation in the Sheng family's Lingshan Mountain. Before Si Yuan moved several second-grade spiritual veins here, Hanpo Lake was one of the treasured places with the most abundant spiritual energy in Lingshan Mountain. Now that Lingshan Mountain has integrated several second-grade spiritual veins, it has become an even more top-notch treasured place for cultivation.
In the entire Sheng family, except for Si Yuan, only the Jindan stage elders are qualified to go to Hanpo Lake for training frequently.
Sheng Yunqi, the son of the patriarch, was able to go to Hanpo Lake to practice frequently purely because of his adoptive father Si Yuan.
Although Si Yuan rarely paid attention to Sheng Yunqi in the past ten years, he always provided Sheng Yunqi with full resources for cultivation, giving him whatever he had and whatever he wanted.
Although Sheng Yunqi was spoiled to a certain degree, he was still very diligent and serious in his cultivation. After all, in the eyes of the family elders, Sheng Yunqi was the son of the head of the Yuanying stage family and had extraordinary talent. In the future, he might become the next Yuanying stage cultivator to support the Sheng family. He could not be careless in his cultivation and ruin the future of the Sheng family. Therefore, those who should be pampered will be pampered, and those who should be strictly taught will not lack teaching.
When Si Yuan arrived at Hanpo Lake, he swept his spiritual sense and found Sheng Yunqi, who was practicing hard at the bottom of the lake while being eroded by the icy spiritual energy.
He also noticed that Sheng Yunqi had now reached the peak of Qi Refining and was not far from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, so he was quite satisfied.
At the age of eighteen, he is already on the verge of breaking through the foundation-building stage. This progress in cultivation can indeed be called genius.
Although it was nothing compared to Si Yuan, Si Yuan had always been a genius and knew it. He knew very well that not everyone could compare to him. It was not disappointing that his adopted son had the talent of an ordinary genius. His expectations were not that high.
After all, it's not like he hasn't seen people with worse talents.
Si Yuan just stood by the Hanpo Lake, with his hands behind his back, quietly looking through the ice-blue water at Sheng Yunqi who was practicing cross-legged at the bottom of the lake.
After waiting for half an hour, Sheng Yunqi, unable to withstand the long-term coldness of Hanpo Lake, voluntarily left his training state and flew out of Hanpo Lake.
As soon as Sheng Yunqi emerged from the water, he saw Si Yuan standing by the lake. He looked at Si Yuan with surprise and hesitated for a long time before shouting, "Father!"
Si Yuan smiled and nodded, then waved to Sheng Yunqi, motioning him to come over to him.
Although Si Yuan went into seclusion for ten years right after he traveled through time, he did see his adopted son Sheng Yunqi more than once after he came out. It was just that he was busy refining magic weapons, talismans and other auxiliary means to enhance combat power, so he had less contact with Sheng Yunqi, which made Sheng Yunqi feel unfamiliar with him.
But this was not the first time the father and son met after he traveled through time.
Sheng Yunqi admired and yearned for his father Si Yuan. After all, he had personally experienced the entire process of the Sheng family's transformation from a Jindan family to a Yuanying family. He had seen with his own eyes how his father single-handedly brought the Sheng family to the pinnacle of glory. Naturally, he admired Si Yuan.
Therefore, Si Yuan seldom accompanied him in these years, and he also happily made excuses for Si Yuan in his heart: Father went into seclusion to practice and strengthen the family's strength, he didn't ignore me.
Now seeing Si Yuan's gentle and loving smile, Sheng Yunqi's unfamiliarity and uneasiness disappeared, and he came to Si Yuan with full expectation and joy: "Father!"
