protect our patriarch

Chapter 240 The Rising New Weather

……

"Good guy, with the aura of ancestor Xiaohan, I'm afraid he already has the third level of Lingtai Realm, right?" Liang Haofeng and Sun Yunfei looked at that scene with shocked expressions.

Wang Xiaohan is the second Spiritual Stage Realm of the Ping'an Wang Clan. He was already in his sixties when he broke through that year. Among the many Spiritual Stage ancestors in Changningwei, he was a late bloomer.

However, it has only been 19 years since he broke through to the Lingtai Realm, but his cultivation base has skyrocketed upwards like a reverse growth.

There is no other reason, the Ping An Wang family is rich.

Once the spiritual platform seeds of most ninth-rank aristocratic families break through to the spiritual platform, the cultivation resources will gradually be unable to keep up.Just because even if it is just to maintain the cultivation base and combat power, a large amount of spirit, flesh and spiritual rice, as well as pills such as strengthening the foundation and cultivating the essence are needed to support it, and it must consume seven or eight hundred or thousands of gold a year.

It is still a question of whether a poorer ninth-rank family can have a balance of more than one thousand gold after deducting all expenses a year.

If one wants to go further in the spirit platform realm, consumption will be a bottomless pit.Spending thousands of gold a year is just the beginning, and it can only make the cultivation base grow slowly.

If the patriarch of the Lingtai Realm of the Ninth Grade family opened up his cultivation in order to pursue rapid improvement in cultivation, thousands of gold a year may not be enough.Like a gold swallowing beast, he will occupy the cultivation resources of the younger generation of the family, and at that time, the foundation of the family will be gradually hollowed out.

Moreover, such a huge amount of cultivation is not cost-effective.In the middle stage of the Lingtai Realm, even in the later stage, the lifespan will not increase, and if it fails to reach the Heavenly Human Realm, it will be nothing after all.

This is also the reason why most of the ancestors of the ninth-rank family who stick to their original positions are only at the beginning of the Lingtai realm, and they really can't afford to practice!They can only rely on themselves, slowly improve their cultivation with extremely limited resources, and they may not be able to reach the middle stage of Lingtai Realm in a lifetime.

However, Patriarch Xiaohan is different.

Under Wang Shouzhe's strong arrangement, Xiaohan's patriarch saved a lot of contribution value every year, the in-laws took turns in the family property, guarded the property in Qianma Town, and participated in various tasks of the family.

Especially in recent years, coupled with the fact that Patriarch Xiaohan is an elder in the Lingtai Realm, his annual support and subsidies total at least seven or eight thousand thousand gold or even more, which is enough for him to practice in a relatively extravagant way.

Therefore, there will be the result that Xiao Han's ancestor has a strong stamina.

And a few years ago, Wang Shouzhe also used a marrow washing pill to boost the bloodline of Xiaohan Patriarch, and then used the wedding dress blood Gu to pulse his bloodline to the second level of the Spirit Platform Realm.

With such a bloodline and cultivation base, he can be regarded as an elite disciple in a school.

"Hahaha~ Sister Zhenrong, you didn't tell me earlier when you went back to your mother's house." Wang Xiaohan flew across the river like a big roc, with amazing momentum, "Fortunately, Shouzhe just got the news and asked me Come to pick you up."

When the voice fell, the others had already landed on the ferry pier.

"Sixth brother."

Wang Zhenrong was so excited that she immediately stepped forward to salute.

At the same time, everyone from the Gongsun family went up to greet each other, greeting each other and exchanging pleasantries.

Liang Haofeng and Sun Yunfei on the side looked envious.The Ping'an Wang family and the Shanyang Gongsun family are too powerful.

Now the Wang family of Ping'an, who is already the Wang family of Tianren, will not be mentioned.Even for the Shanyang Gongsun family, there are three people who are at the Lingtai stage among the people who come to the heaven and man banquet.

Even Gongsun Yan, who was only in his thirties, broke through to the Lingtai Realm last year.

For a moment, the two little patriarchs of the ninth-rank family became a little embarrassed, unable to advance or retreat.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaohan also recognized the two of them. After entertaining the Gongsun family, he greeted the two of them and exchanged pleasantries.

Liang Haofeng and Sun Yunfei were immediately overwhelmed by flattery, and they chatted with Wang Xiaohan cautiously.

This made Liang Haofeng feel a lot of emotion in his heart. He is also an ancestor of the Lingtai Realm, but he was born in a different family and his fate is different.

……

time flies.

Outside the main entrance of Ping'an Wang's main residence.

On the huge square paved with countless square bluestones, pavilions were temporarily built.

This time, the heaven and man banquet, all the old and young of the Wang family have already taken action.

Especially the younger generation of the Wang family, but those who are over 14 years old have been assigned tasks and are entertaining guests from all walks of life outside.

The person in charge is Wang Shounuo, the third child in the "Shou" generation.

The once handsome young man has now become a 40-year-old mature man. The tempering of life and the life after marriage have made him mature and slightly fatter. There are two mustaches on his upper lip, which are similar to those when he was young. made a big difference.

At this moment, he was wearing a brocade robe and standing among the crowd of young people, feeling rather calm and prestige.

far away.

A convoy of five or six carriages slowly appeared in sight.

Wang Shounuo said, "This is Yingxiu's Wu family and Yingxiu's Hang family. Zong Yao, bring your younger brother Zongcai to receive him, and bring him to practice."

Wang Shouzhe's control over Ping'an Town has always been extremely strict, and the current control channels are even spreading outward. Once any team of aristocratic family steps into Wang's control area, Wang will receive the news immediately.

Which family has come, and where the team has progressed, the Wang family is very clear.

Following Wang Shounuo's words, a handsome young man of eighteen or nineteen stepped out, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Third Uncle."

Wang Zongyao is the second son of Wang Shouyi, the second eldest in the "Shou" generation.At the age of 19 this year, he has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, is imposing and heroic, but he does not have the impetuosity of a young man, but a calm demeanor.

No wonder.

The Ping'an Wang family has extremely high demands on the younger generation of clansmen.

All members of the Wang clan, regardless of gender, have to enroll in clan studies to learn basic knowledge from the age of five.At the age of 12, they are eligible to start applying for some simple family tasks.

From the age of 14, while studying ethnology, I have to follow my brother, sister, or elders to participate in some family affairs.After graduating from ethnology at the age of 16, they need to formally participate in family affairs.

Therefore, although Wang Zongyao is only 19 years old, he has already been polished and matured, and has already begun to take charge of some family projects.

As Wang Zongyao came out, on the other side, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy quickly came out, cupped his hands and said, "It's my father."

This kid is naturally Wang Zongcai.

He is the eldest son of Wang Shounuo, and his mother was born in the direct line of Yingxiu's Lu family.

When he was born, the Wang family had already entered a period of rapid development. Therefore, he lived in an extremely favorable environment since he was a child, and he grew tall and strong. He was only 14 years old, and he was almost as tall as an adult.

The two brothers took orders to go, and soon met Yingxiu Wu's and Yingxiu Hang's convoy, and began to entertain the guests with full etiquette, without any neglect because the other party was from a ninth-rank family.

Wu Yunkun, the patriarch of the Lingtai Realm, is led by Yingxiu Wu's team this time.Yingxiu Chen's team is led by Chen Yuyang, the patriarch of the Lingtai Realm.Both of them are old and mature characters, and they have a clear understanding of their own status, so they didn't feel any dissatisfaction because the two juniors sent by the Wang family to receive them.

After all, this Heaven and Man Banquet is a big event for the entire Changning Guard.

Changningwei's aristocratic family, one counts as one, must send people over.There are already dozens of families.

Not to mention that the Wang family has made many friends in recent years. Among the six guards in the south of Longzuo County, there must be a family of heaven and man, and a family of eighth rank is invited to come.

In this case, Wang's reception staff must be stretched, and they naturally understand.

What's more, the two juniors who came to welcome them can be regarded as dragons and phoenixes among people, no matter their appearance, demeanor or cultivation strength, which can be regarded as giving them enough face.

But this also made them shocked and envious.

That Wang Zongyao, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old, was very experienced in handling things, making people feel like a spring breeze, and his cultivation base had already stepped into the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm.

And Wang Zong was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his cultivation had already reached the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining Realm.

The two ancestors also brought the young heroes of the family and let them come out to see the world.But even the best hero in the family is far behind these two.

As expected, the appearance of the family of heaven and man is not comparable to their mere ninth-rank family.

Under the reception of Wang Zongyao and Wang Zongcai, the steward quickly registered the list of congratulatory gifts, and sent the generals and servants to store the congratulatory gifts brought by the two families one by one.

After finishing these, Wang Zongyao and his younger brother led the way and took them to the place where they lived.

It took some time for the heavenly banquet to start, so they naturally needed to settle down first.

"Two ancestors, the accommodation has been arranged, please follow us to the restaurant in front to check in." Wang Zongyao said.

"Restaurant?"

The two patriarchs Wu Yunkun and Chen Yuyang froze slightly.

Although they knew that there were many visitors, they might not be able to live in the guest house of the main house, but even if they had some mental preparations before coming, they would still feel a little uncomfortable being underestimated.

Didn't the Wang family think about building more other courtyards these years?

But when Wang Zongyao and Wang Zongcai led them to the "restaurant" next to Zhuwei Lake in Wang's compound, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

It was a huge and peculiar building, more than twenty feet high, fifty feet wide, and arched to enclose the banks of Zhuwei Lake.

Its walls are all paved with white, smooth-looking terrazzo, and the windows are all inlaid with large pieces of pure foreign glass, which are radiant and shining in the sunlight.

As a luxury item, foreign glass has only gradually become popular in the last decade or so.

Especially the Lu family who is also in Yingxiu, the family has more and more foreign glass products.In order to save face and follow the trend, Yingxiu Wu's and Yingxiu's Chen's often purchased foreign glass products through Lu's.

Usually they are treasured as treasures, and will be shown off when distinguished guests come.Mrs. Wang actually used such a large piece of pure foreign glass to make windows...

Where is the foreign glass inlaid here, it is clearly the shining dry gold~
Even the ancestors were shocked, let alone the juniors who followed the ancestors.They were all dumbfounded, staring up at the magnificent twenty-story building in a daze.

It is the tallest building in Changning Guard, only about twelve or thirty feet tall.Where have they seen such a magnificent building?

And this is not the most shocking.

As they stepped into the lobby, they clearly felt what it means to be magnificent.

Hanging down from the sky, the gorgeous and complicated foreign glass lamps shine brightly, the ground is spotless, and the pillars are so thick that two people need to embrace them...

What they saw in front of them almost made them dizzy.

In the lobby, there is also a special area for leisure and chatting.Some descendants of aristocratic families who came earlier were sitting in soft leather chairs drinking tea and chatting in twos and threes at the moment, and the maids of the restaurant brought them some exquisite snacks from time to time.

"Why do these foreign glass lamps glow? They're so beautiful." A pretty but shy girl from Yingxiu Wu family blinked her moist eyes and asked curiously.

"Lingyun girl." Wang Zongyao replied in a gentle manner, "This is the formation lighting system developed by Aunt Xiaoxiao, her master, and my fourth uncle. The principle is to drive the spirit stone through the formation, The spiritual energy is poured into the glazed lamp, and it can emit various colors of light."

"Aunt Xiaoxiao? Is it Senior Lu Xiaoxiao from the Lu family?" Wu Lingyun blinked her pretty eyes, and said with some admiration, "Senior Xiaoxiao is at the Lingtai stage in less than thirty, and he is still a rare formation master. What an idol to us monks."

"Miss Lingyun, you are also very strong." Wang Zongyao praised, "I heard that our Changningwei's overall score in the school entrance examination this year is good. A total of three people passed the preliminary examination, and Miss Lingyun's score was No.1. Moreover, you are only 17 years old and you are already at the peak of the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm, and you can reach the seventh level by sprinting hard, so it is safe to enter the school."

"Fourth Young Master, you are too good." Wu Lingyun blushed slightly and lowered her head and said, "At first I thought my grades were good, but when I saw you, Fourth Young Master, I realized that there is someone out there. It's just that fourth Young Master you have such outstanding potential. , why don't you take the entrance exam?"

The rest of the people also looked at Wang Zongyao with curious eyes. At the age of 19, he was on the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm. As long as he participated, he would be the first.

Wang Zongyao didn't answer in a hurry, but led Wu Shi and Chen Shi to check in first.

Checking in was a rule and strategy formulated by his fourth uncle, and he didn't dare to change it at will.

When the maid at the front desk of the hotel was registering, he explained modestly: "There are too many brothers and sisters in the family who go to the academy, and there must be some people in the family to develop and grow the family. Besides, my strength is too weak to go to the academy. It's boring."

The strength is too weak...

Young people including Wu Lingyun looked at Wang Zongyao with strange eyes.If the fourth young master Zong Yao is too weak, then what are the "handsome" of their families?
It's really worthy of being the Wang family of heaven and man, the gap between them is too big.

Everyone praised Wang Zongyao and thought he was too modest.

"This...fourth brother is also humble, and he is indeed a little weak." Wang Zongcai on the side had a straightforward face, and said truthfully, "He has such strength to go to the academy, so he can only follow behind others and shout cheers. Let's develop."

Wang Zongyao's handsome face darkened slightly: "Lao Liu, save some face for your brother. Give me some time to develop, and a core of the academy can still be won."

"What's the use of the core, isn't it just being beaten every day?" Wang Zongcai shook his head frankly and sighed, "Now the atmosphere in the academy is not good, all peaks and branches are trying their best to recruit young Tianjiao as their personal heirs, and only beat the cores of other branches."

"It's not because of..."

Wang Zongyao wanted to say that this was the bad atmosphere brought out by his two aunts after they entered school.Especially the sixth aunt, Luo Qiu, who beat up the core disciples who were able to beat them up within a few years after entering school, one by one.

"So, don't go to the academy now if you don't get a chance to get a personal job." Wang Zongcai said distressedly, "For those like us who can't get a job with a personal job, let's farm at home honestly."

Several young people from the Wu family and the Chen family were all dumbfounded.Shouldn't one go to the academy to study and practice with peace of mind?Why does it sound like a magic cave?

The two patriarchs Wu and Chen were also dumbfounded when they heard it. If they can't be passed on, why don't they go to the academy?Such a request, I am afraid that even the sixth-rank family would not dare to say so.

Especially Wu Lingyun, her little face turned pale with fright, she pulled Wu Yunkun's sleeve and said, "Grandfather, can I not go to the academy? I don't want to be beaten."

Wu Yunkun's face became a little stiff: "Lingyun, don't mess around. With your talent and strength, if you don't go to the academy, is it possible to marry someone casually? If you stay at home, your family can't afford you to go to the Lingtai. You Isn't life going to be wasted?"

There is already a Lingtai species in the family, which occupies too many cultivation resources. In the future, he will need to save money to buy the Heavenly Spirit Pill for hitting the Lingtai realm.With Yingxiu Wu's heritage, he is simply unable to support the second Lingtai species.

This is the sorrow and helplessness of a low-level family.

Wu Lingyun fell silent.

If you can't achieve the Lingtai, you are just a mortal. You will be old when you live to be five or sixty years old, and you may enter the coffin at any time from seven to eighty years old.

As for the Lingtai Realm, one can live for two hundred years, and a hundred years old is considered a young man.

It's a world of difference.

If she had poor aptitude, she wouldn't want to be him, but her aptitude was not bad. Since she had the opportunity, how could she not be willing to give it a try?

Later, after Wang Zongyao helped them check in, he sent them up to the fifteenth floor.

During this period, Wu Lingyun has been silent and ignorant, even when she saw the "spiritual ladder" driven by formations, she was a little listless and unable to raise her spirits.

I don't really want to go to the academy anymore, but I don't want to live like a mortal, it's really too difficult.

Arranged in the same suite as her was Chen Yushan, the second daughter of the Chen family.She looked around excitedly, seeing everything fresh everywhere: "Sister Lingyun, look, there is a mechanism here, just press it and the lights in the room will come on."

"Sister Lingyun, look quickly, you can see the entire Zhuwei Lake from this angle, it's so beautiful~"

"Sister Lingyun, there are instructions in this bathroom. When you unscrew this mechanism, water will come out. Well, hot water will be supplied at twelve o'clock. Eh, what is this? This, this, this, it turns out to be a toilet... so embarrassing."

"Oh my god, this bed is so soft. What kind of fairy life did the members of the Tianren Wang family live? This is too happy!"

Although Wu Lingyun was quite interested, she was still in a very low mood, so she could only reluctantly accompany Chen Yushan to watch new things everywhere.

"Sister Lingyun, the fourth son of Zong Yao is really good-looking, gentle and personable. If you can marry him, life will be easier."

Wu Lingyun was startled suddenly: "Yu Shan, you are only 14 years old, and you already want to get married? Besides, you are still the first daughter in the family, so you can marry into another ninth-rank family and become a big wife."

"Big lady, what's so good about being a big wife?" Chen Yushan pouted, "The ninth-rank family is too poor and desolate. Even if you want to become a big wife, you're just living a tight life together. The fourth son of Zong Yao Although he is only a disciple of Zhimai, looking at Changningwei, is there any son of a noble family who can match him?"

"My grandfather told me before he brought me to meet the world. Except for Wang Zong'an, the fifth son of the Wang family, if you like any unmarried young talent in the Wang family, just tell him that he will find a way to match him." Chen Yushan said without any intention, "Besides, it's not shameful for a ninth-rank daughter to marry a seventh-rank straight line. There are many similar situations in every city and guard. My grandfather said that there may be more than seven-rank Wangs in the future..."

Every sentence seemed to poke Wu Lingyun's heart, as if it opened a door to a new world for her.

If it is Zong Yao's fourth son, it seems to be quite good...

……

When all members of the family were busy, Wang Shouzhe, the head of the family, was not idle either.

This time, Wang Shouzhe followed the rules, and all the heavenly and human families in Nanliuwei sent out invitations one by one. If there were no accidents, they would send people to join them.

Anyone who can become the patriarch of a family of celestial beings is not stupid. Who would offend a newly promoted family of celestial beings with good momentum for no reason?It's not that I'm full.

Counting, there must be more than a dozen celestial families, and these celestial families can only be received by Wang Shouzhe and Patriarch Longyan in person.

And those female relatives of the Celestial Family also had to be entertained by Gongsun Hui, Liu Ruolan, Wang Luomiao, and Wang Liyao.

If a junior is randomly called to receive the Celestial Family, it would be a loss of etiquette and increase the enmity between the two parties for nothing.

In a courtyard dedicated to entertaining guests by the Wang family.

Wang Shouzhe was personally entertaining Lei Yangyu, the representative of the Heavenly Man Lei's family who came to congratulate him.

The two sat opposite each other, sipping spirit tea.

The fragrance of tea was wafting around, but Lei Yangyu's face was quite gloomy, and he stared at Wang Shouzhe from time to time, as if he had a big opinion on him.

"Brother Yang Yu, come and taste this crystal persimmon." Wang Shouzhe greeted him actively with a smile on his face, "This is one of the specialties of the Changchun Valley of the Xuegong. My friend from the Xuegong chilled it and used it again. It was sent day and night by spirit birds, flying chariots and stars. This spirit persimmon..."

Before Wang Shouzhe finished speaking, he was interrupted mercilessly by Lei Yangyu: "Wang Shouzhe, I, Lei Yangyu, treat you as a brother, but you insist on treating me as an elder! This matter, no, these two things Things, you have to give me an explanation, otherwise I, Lei Yangyu, will cut off relations with you!"

"Confession, of course I have to give an explanation." Wang Shouzhe slapped his chest loudly, then turned his head and glared at a handsome young man, "Lao Qi, since the matter has come to an end, you also happened to have a meeting with Yan Yun's younger brother and sister as soon as possible." Get married, spread branches and leaves for the family as soon as possible, and prosper the population."

That young man was exactly Wang Shouye who was sent by Wang Shouzhe to learn alchemy. His face was bitter and depressed: "Fourth brother, I just want to make alchemy quietly, and I don't want to get married."

"Nonsense!" Wang Shouzhe said with a straight face, "You want to practice alchemy quietly, but what is the innocent girl doing?"

"It's... Yan Yun, she..."

"Lao Qi is careful." Wang Shouzhe said with a straight face, "No matter what the matter is, the matter has reached this point, so you just admit it. I also know sister Yan Yun, and she has an infatuation with you. Next, We should propose marriage, we should get married, and those who should have children should have children."

Wang Shouye said with a look of lovelessness: "Yes, fourth brother."

"Don't have such an expression. Adding more people to the family is also contributing to the family." Wang Shouzhe patted him on the shoulder and said encouragingly, "On this point, you have to learn from your father. Added a boy."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Wang Shouye was also quite speechless, his father Wang Dinghai really got older and more lively.

Before that, Wang Shouming, the eighth son of the Shouzi generation, and Luoqing, the ninth son of the Luo generation, were not counted. In the past two years, a younger brother was added to the family, the ninth son of the Shouzi generation—Wang Shoucheng.

This is great, the oldest Wang Shouxin in the "Shou" generation is already 63, and the youngest Wang Shoucheng is only two years old. Wang Shining, the oldest in the "shi" generation, had to call the two-year-old baby "Grandpa Nine".

"Yes, fourth brother, I will work hard."

Wang Shouye sighed in his heart, in order to complete the family mission, let's have two.Like his father Wang Dinghai, it would be too embarrassing to have five children one after the other.

"Okay, okay." Lei Yangyu finally felt a little relieved, "Although my son-in-law from Lei's lineage marrying your direct lineage from Wang's lineage is a marriage, but my virtuous son-in-law will be a great alchemist in the future. It's an insult to my Lei family. Brother Shouzhe, our Lei family and Wang family will be in-laws from now on."

Wang Shouzhe secretly stared at him, your face has changed so quickly.

However, you may have to change it again next time.
