protect our patriarch

Chapter 696 Great development outside the territory!Wang Shisheng third-rank family

……

Great work.

Boundary fortress.

This is the internal fortress of Dagan guarding the gaps in the boundary. It has the functions of hoarding soldiers, placing the wounded, hoarding and turnover materials, etc.

With the Wang family, no, as Daqian continued to advance the land reclamation and immigration of the demon world, the fortress of the Dagan realm has also undergone several reconstructions and expansions in the past few decades.

Today, with the boundary fortress as the core, a prosperous place with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians has formed in the boundary canyon.

Residents here can't migrate here casually. First, they have to pass the education level, and second, at least they have to be monks in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining Realm.

With the continuous development of Daqian, the rapid popularization of education and the national Qi refining plan, the popularity rate of Qi refining environment among adults in the whole country has reached [-]%, that of Longzuo County has reached [-]%, and that of Changningwei and its surrounding areas The area is already more than ninety-nine percent.

It is said that in the Changningwei area, if you can't even reach the level of Qi refining, it will be very difficult to even find a wife and work.

And as the core of this prosperous place, the boundary fortress has undergone several rounds of transformation, and it is no longer what it used to be.

What was once a fortress became a massive reinforced concrete building.The high-grade cement produced by Wang's defense performance is not inferior to metal, and its plasticity is even stronger. Under the protection of multiple formations, the defense of the fortress has been significantly improved.

On the top of the fortress, the huge Shenwei Cannon stands in the wind like a patron saint, majestic and full of shocking power.

On the outer edge of the fortress, the original terminal building has undergone several rounds of renovations, and its scale has also expanded several times. Even the external ports are divided into three, namely "Airport No. [-]", "Airport No. [-]", and "Airport No. [-]". ".Inside the terminal building, many new products produced by Wang's Research Institute are used.

Inside the clean and transparent huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the indicator lights are on and off, and huge crystal screens are hung everywhere. Some of them display pre-recorded advertisements in turn, which looks bizarre.

Outside the building, the roaring railcar shuttled back and forth with bulk materials, taking on the main responsibility of material transportation.

All these make people feel as if they are in a high-level civilized world.

In recent years, as the flow of people has become more frequent, the screening of people coming and going has become more stringent. Not only must detailed identity verification be carried out, but weapons and equipment must also be checked.

this time.

In the third airport.

A handsome young man is leading a team to check the security situation at the scene: "Weihua, Deyuan, you two lead people to inspect again, remember to screen key areas several times to prevent potential safety hazards .Today is the day when our newly completed 'Wanghai' boundary ferry boat is officially put into use, so there must be no mistakes. Otherwise, my uncle Fu Xiao will blame me and no one will be able to afford it."

"Yes, Mr. Baojun."

The team under his command immediately took orders and left.

This young man from the Wang family is exactly [Wang Baojun], who ranks No. 40 and third in the Wang family's "bao" generation.

More than 30 years ago, Wang Baojun joined Wang Fuxiao's team shortly after graduating from ethnology, and began to contribute to Wang's great development of the extraterritorial demon world.And in the past 30 years, through his own efforts, he has gradually become the backbone of the team, and was summoned and encouraged by Zong'an ancestors several times, and he is doing well among Wang's peers.

Relying on his own meritorious deeds in exchange for resources, as well as the occasional allowances from his family, he is only about 60 years old now, and his cultivation base has already entered the middle stage of the realm of heaven and man.

With this kind of strength at such a young age, if one hundred and sixty-seventy years ago, he could have followed Li Yao's ancestors and went to the imperial capital to sweep away the younger generation.It's just that the Wang family is developing now, and Dagan is also developing rapidly. Although this level of strength is not mediocre, it can no longer be called "top".

With Wang Baojun's inspection, the launching ceremony of "Wanghai" is getting closer.

In Airport No. [-], it became more and more lively.

In the spacious and comfortable waiting room, many passengers who are preparing to board the "Wanghai" boundary ferry boat for the first time have gathered.

Among them, there is a group of family members and generals from the Ximen family in Weiqinggou Town, Weiqinggou Town, Dingning County, Tianfu County.

The Ximen family is a typical eighth-rank family with some history.

With the rapid development of Daqian, the Ximen family has also benefited from the development dividend. There are already five ancestors in the Lingtai realm in the family, hundreds of adult Zhimai Zhimai clansmen, and family generals are all in the Qi refining realm.

The family is thriving and thriving.

But with the development, Ximen's has also entered a bottleneck period. They want to be promoted from the eighth rank to the seventh rank, but there seems to be an invisible gap on the top, blocking their progress.

It is not easy for this kind of small family to cultivate a Heavenly Human Realm, no matter it is the skills, qualifications, or long-term daily training expenses, they cannot bear it.

Therefore, after several meetings within the family, it was decided to let the youngest elder of the family, "Xiemen Xuesong", lead the family's young elites and generals to sign up for the development of the Outer Demon Realm.

The decision was not blind either.

In the town next door to them, the eighth-rank Nanguo family voluntarily signed up to open up wasteland in the extraterritorial demon world 30 years ago.

And because of this difference, in just a few decades, the developmental circumstances of the two in-law families who were not much different from each other have become very different.

Affected by the huge dividends of land reclamation in the extraterritorial demon world, the Nan Guo family became rich almost overnight. Not only did they hoard the family property in the county, but they also cultivated more than a dozen Lingtai species, two young generation of Celestials.

One of them studied at Dingning County School, and was a top-ranked county school elite. It was said that he might be recommended to Tianfu Academy as an elite student.

And the other one is the carefully cultivated successor of the family, who is going to rely on him to jump into a seventh-rank family in one fell swoop in the future.

This gap naturally makes Ximen, who is also eager to develop, jealous.

It was already doomed not to get the first wave of bonuses, and it was too late to redeem them, but they had to get the second wave of bonuses no matter what.

Therefore, Ximen's also attaches great importance to participating in the great development of the Outer Territory Demon Realm this time.In addition to Ximen Xuesong, the accompanying clansmen were also carefully selected.

"Wow~ This waiting room is too luxurious~" A young girl aged sixteen or seventeen blinked her big clear eyes, looked around curiously, and said in an excited voice, "Ancestor Xuesong, look at this dome. , are all large pieces of super-large glass, so transparent and clear.”

Now Wang's glass has become a specialty of Daqian. Even if Ximen's comes from a remote area, they have used glass products, but they didn't expect that glass can be refined so large and have such a magnificent structure.

In this huge waiting room, the view is wide, the light is bright, and there is no oppressive atmosphere at all, making people feel comfortable and happy unconsciously.

"Mi Xue." Ximen Xuesong's face was a little stiff, and his voice was a little nervous, "Don't look around and talk at will, so as not to touch other people's taboos."

As a new generation of Lingtai Realm carefully cultivated by the Ximen family, Ximen Xuesong's appearance is just that of a thirty-year-old man with a little bit of vicissitudes. He is dressed in a white robe and carries a long sword on his back. He has the feeling of a "white swordsman". It's also pretty good looking.

A young genius like him who was promoted to Lingtai at the age of 60, he is considered extraordinary in the local area, and he is a little arrogant on weekdays, and likes to call himself "Mr. Cedar".

But as soon as he arrived at the fortress of the realm, he became extremely nervous. Any staff member here is at the late stage of Qi Refining Realm, and the little boss is at the beginning of Lingtai Realm. There are many Xuanwu monks who are younger than him and have higher cultivation levels.

It made him nervous.

"Yes, Patriarch Xuesong." Ximen Mixue shrank her neck, not daring to say any more, and could only look around furtively.

In their Ximen Clan, Patriarch Xuesong is quite majestic, how could a child like her who is already 16 years old and only at the fourth level of Qi Refining Realm dare to talk back to Patriarch Xuesong?

"Old Chen, I heard that your family has applied for another development order? There are only so many people in the family, are you busy?"

"Haha, it turned out to be Lao Liu, and I ran into you here. To be honest, I went back to the ancestral house this time to bring some generals over. Now the reclamation of the demon world outside the territory has become a boom. People who come here More and more, if we don’t seize the opportunity to save more farms now, we may not have such opportunities in the future.”

The one called "Old Chen" is a monk in the late Lingtai stage.He was wearing a luxurious brocade robe, and he was covered with all kinds of treasures that showed his status. Even the storage ring was a priceless top-grade storage ring, and the price started from one million dry gold.

With such a style, you can bring out a gust of wind when you walk. Who would have thought that Lao Chen was just a marginal household in a seventh-rank family?

Behind him, there were dozens of clan generals, men, women, young and old, apparently brought here by him to make a fortune.

"It turns out that you also had the same idea."

The monk known as "Lao Liu" also had "extraordinary manners" and was dressed very luxuriously, obviously returning home in a wave of clothes.

He analyzed: "Now Wang's second border crossing boat is about to be put into use. It is said that most of the technologies used in it are developed by Wang's research institute. On the contrary, there is a tendency to increase the development, and the future of opening up wasteland in the devil world can be expected, and the future can be expected."

"It's not just the 'Wang Hai'. I heard from my friends that the progress of Wang's third completely self-developed border crossing boat has reached [-]%, and even the fourth boat has been approved." Old Chen has abundant information and confidence. With a full look, "In the future, the land reclamation in the extraterritorial demon world will only become more and more popular and more profitable."

The Ximen clan, listening to those old immigrants talking and seeing their style of pointing out the country, was secretly excited and full of hope for the future.

"Huh? What are those spider monsters?"

At this time, Ximen Mi Xue suddenly stared at the security checkpoint with wide eyes, obviously discovering something new.

"Little girl, those are not spider monsters." Chen Wenyan, an old immigrant, turned his head to look at the little girl, and explained with a smile, "Those are security-type puppet spiders produced by Wang's Research Institute. They can quickly detect the identity of passengers, and Whether you are carrying dangerous weapons, prohibited items, etc."

"I know the puppet, but... why is it in the shape of a spider?" Ximen Mixue felt a little hairy while being curious, "It feels so disgusting."

"Haha, I heard that Mr. Fugui and Mr. Ning Xi of the Wang family like the shape of spiders. They said that spider puppets have good balance, strong passability, and are easy to load weapons. In addition, they have eight legs. Probably the ticket checking speed will also be faster." Old Chen smiled and didn't care.

"Speaking of Master Ningxi..." Lao Liu also suddenly regained his spirits, "I just thought of a gossip. I heard that in order to speed up the development and construction of the 'Wanghai', he went to Xianchao to dig a lot secretly. The technician came back, but the Immortal Emperor personally broke his leg, and specially sealed his broken leg with fairy energy to prevent him from recovering quickly."

"Is this true or not?" Old Chen was shocked, "Master Ning Xi really worked hard for his development."

"Of course it's true! However, Master Ningxi was a blessing in disguise." Lao Liu said mysteriously, "Relying on the cold flames of ice and fire, he refined the power of those fairy spirits bit by bit, not only let his legs Healed, but also made the bones hard like fairy jade, and even the running speed is much faster!"

"They all said that His Majesty the Immortal Emperor's words were too embarrassing. It was not only a lesson to Master Ning Xi, but also a benefit in disguise."

"God bless Master Ning Xi~" Old Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Many immigrants who pioneered outside the territory are full of gratitude to the Wang family. Big figures like Wang Liyao, Wang Liyue, and Wang Zong'an are their idols, and Master Wang Ningxi has developed a puppet that can greatly reduce labor costs. Qi Qi is also highly regarded in the hearts of the people, and many people are very grateful to him.

"That young master Ning Xi..." Ximen Mi Xue was very curious.

"Speaking of Young Master Ning Xi, that is truly amazing. Young Master, he is not yet 90 years old, but he has already inherited a fire-type tome and a water-type tome, and he has already begun to try to merge the tomes into a fire-and-water tome." The old man said. Chen proudly said, "He is a rare and peerless genius in the world, and he is already at the third level of the Purple Mansion Realm, and he will be able to enter the middle stage of the Purple Mansion in a short time!"

"Master Zifu?"

Ximen Mi Xue's eyes widened, they were dull and shocked.

Listening to them talking about Master Ning Xi, she thought she was at the Lingtai Realm... She never expected that it was the master of Zifu.

Such a character is too far away from her, too far away.To her, it was like a figure on the cloud.

It is said that the dean of Dingning County, their hometown, is a master of the Zifu who is several hundred years old.

The eighty-ninety-year-old Master Zifu...does he have to be so outrageous?
Subconsciously, Ximen Mi Xue secretly glanced at her "Cedar Ancestor".Patriarch Xuesong is now 60 years old, and it is still unknown whether he will be able to advance to the middle stage of Lingtai Realm when he is 90 years old.

"Old Ancestor Xuesong" turned dark, and said to Ximen Mi Xue, "Don't call me 'Old Ancestor Xuesong' from now on, call me Uncle Nine."

He felt that he really couldn't bear the word "Old Ancestor", it was too embarrassing.

"Huh? Why don't you have a storage ring yet, girl?" Lao Chen swept around the Ximen family and said, "You are a branch of the family that has newly signed up to open up wasteland, right? There are dangers everywhere in this extraterritorial demon world. You can’t take it with you. Brother Ximen, let me tell you, our family has a large farm, you can follow us first, and I will guarantee your satisfaction with the wages.”

Satisfied with the wages?

Ximen Xuesong was a little moved.

"Old Chen, are you being unkind? Now every family is short of manpower. If you want manpower, won't you urge your children and grandchildren to have more births?" Lao Liu hurriedly stopped, "Brother Ximen, don't trust him. .Although it is hard work to apply for a development order by yourself, the land you develop will belong to your family in the future, which is different from working for others."

"Moreover, the range of the Outer Demon Realm that we can open up wasteland is very far away from the outermost battle zone, and the land is already half-developed. Before it was given to us, it had been plowed over and over again. How can there be any danger?"

"Thank you, Brother Liu, for your guidance." Ximen Xuesong suddenly realized, and immediately led his clansmen away from that old Chen vigilantly.

Just in the midst of the excitement.

Suddenly, large swaths of shadows appeared in the sky above, and even the light in the waiting room suddenly went dark.

The waiting room suddenly became quiet, and everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to the sky, and they looked up.

In the sky above his head, a huge streamlined ferry boat was breaking through the clouds and descending from the sky.

Compared with the old version of the medium-sized ferry boat, this newly designed medium-sized boundary ferry boat has a cooler appearance and a more novel design. There are even a pair of huge cloud bat wings on both sides of the ferry boat for flying.

Seen from below, the huge bat wings seem to cover the sky and block out the sun, giving it an unparalleled sense of shock.

Before landing, the cloud ray's bat wings slowly retracted.

At this time, the border crossing boat resumed its traditional shape, and slowly docked towards the pre-set berth in the port.

Obviously, this medium-sized boundary boat is the legendary [Wanghai].

After a moment of silence, heated discussions erupted in the waiting room, and many people looked very excited.

Obviously, the Wanghai ship gave them a surprise.

Before today, no one would have imagined that Boundary Ferry could grow into this appearance.

Amidst the discussions, the Wanghai has slowly come to a stop.

The long ladder used for connection in the port began to slide slowly, and under the control of the personnel, it was locked in place, connecting the exit of the waiting room and the entrance of Wanghai.

In the waiting room, a pleasant female voice also sounded, reminding everyone to check their bags and prepare to board the boat under the instructions of the staff.

People such as Ximen Xuesong, Lao Chen, Lao Liu and others ended their discussion and began to line up to board the boat busily.

On the other side of the port, the mechanical puppets for loading goods have also started to work, loading large quantities of goods into the warehouse at the bottom of Wanghai.

But at this moment, inside the Wanghai bridge, Wang Ningxi, who looked much more mature, watched the pilot put down the joystick, feeling extremely excited.

For this "Wanghai" ship, most of which were developed by Wang himself, he devoted countless efforts and time, and even had his legs broken because of repeatedly digging the corners of Xianchao.

And the result lived up to expectations.

This ship [Wanghai] can not only shuttle through the gaps in the boundary, but is also very suitable for sailing in normal space.With the help of the cloud ray bat wing design, it can also save a lot of energy when navigating in normal space.

Now Wanghai's maiden voyage in normal space has been considered a success, and the next step is to test its pressure-bearing ability when traveling through space gaps.

Although according to the design theory and various tests in the laboratory, the Wanghai can easily deal with the space storm when it shuttles through the gaps in the boundary, but without actual combat, he is still a little uneasy after all.

Soon, the passengers boarded the ferry in an orderly manner, and all the cargo was loaded.

Seeing that everything was ready, Wang Ningxi gave an official order to activate the Wanghai and start the boundary shuttle.

"External pressure is normal."

"Wanghai is running smoothly."

"..."

"We have passed through the boundary gap and arrived at the Dagan defense zone base."

Following reports one after another, Wanghai shuttled to the Demon Realm extremely smoothly, and the whole process was uneventful, without any surprises.

And this also means that the maiden voyage of Wanghai was very successful!

As the Wanghai stopped again, the staff on the maiden voyage couldn't help cheering.

"Ning Xi, thank you Master, Second Master, Senior Yufu, and all seniors~"

Wang Ningxi suppressed his excitement, and gratefully bowed to the elders who accompanied him behind him.

This maiden voyage is of great significance, and he naturally did not come alone.

"Good boy, as a teacher, I didn't misunderstand you. You are a genius in making weapons." The old man Tianji patted Wang Ningxi on the shoulder excitedly, his eyes were full of love and hope for him.

In his opinion, not only can Wang Ningxi inherit his mantle, he will even be able to outshine blue and surpass blue.

Today's Wang Ningxi is not what it used to be. Not only has his cultivation reached the third level of the Purple Mansion Realm, but the family has also used the treasures of heaven and earth and treasures reserved for him at the beginning to help him reach the bloodline of Emperor Bing.

For this reason, the old man Tianji also took out some treasures from the bottom of the box to help Wang Ningxi raise his bloodline a little bit higher, reaching the level of Tianzi B.

This made Wang Ningxi's bloodline suddenly step into the first sequence, only slightly inferior to the ancestor Shouzhe.

How could old man Tianji be dissatisfied with such an outstanding disciple?
"Ning Xi, the future of our martial arts race is in the hands of your younger generation." Zhenjun Bailian also patted Wang Ningxi on the shoulder with mixed feelings.

Although being robbed of the title of "First Master" by the old man Tianji, it may be good to be Ning Xi's "Second Master", if not, there is a possibility of being famous in history.

Moreover, in recent years, he has often consulted the old man Tianji in the name of Ning Xi, and he has also benefited a lot from the art of refining.

"Thank you all, thank you very much." Wang Ningxi was about to shed tears of excitement, "Without the support of all seniors, it would be impossible for our Wang family to get to where we are today."

Even for His Majesty the Immortal Emperor who broke his leg, Wang Ningxi was full of gratitude.

If His Majesty the Immortal Emperor really wants to obstruct him, there are many ways to grind him, how can he be so simple to let him do what he wants?

……

Just as the maiden voyage of the boundary ferry boat "Wanghai" ended perfectly.

Wang's main house, in Shouzhe's small courtyard.

Two brothers, Wang Shouyong and Wang Shoulian, also rushed back from their posts to congratulate the fourth brother they respect the most.

"Fourth brother." Wang Shouyong now has two mustaches, and looks quite mature and steady on the outside, but at this moment, looking at Wang Shouzhe who has made a breakthrough, his expression is still unconcealed. It's inevitable, but when this day really comes, I still feel like I'm dreaming. Thinking about us back then, and thinking about it now...it's even more bizarre than a dream."

"Old Five~" Wang Shouzhe patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "It is not due to me alone that the Wang family can be what it is today, it is the result of the concerted efforts of all members of the clan."

"Fourth brother." Wang Shoulian was also very excited, "Although Patriarch Longyan and Fourth Sister-in-law have already advanced to the supernatural power level, but you are the head of the family, and after you have been promoted to the supernatural power level, you have to hold a supernatural power feast to celebrate."

"There is no need for this. Stepping into the realm of supernatural powers is just a small step." Wang Shouzhe shook his head. "Such an achievement is not worth publicizing. Besides, now that 'danger is approaching', it is better to keep a low profile."

however.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the gatekeeper come forward to report: "Patriarch, Mr. Xiang, the inner supervisor, has come and said that he is to announce the decree for His Highness."

Eunuch Xiang?
Wang Shouzhe has an impression.

This Eunuch Xiang was one of the four "Auspicious Ruyi" father-in-laws under Lao Yao's command back then, and he had delivered several edicts to him on behalf of Emperor Longchang.Now after Lao Yao retires, he is taking care of in the Wang family, and his position is taken over by this Eunuch Xiang.

But what is he doing here now?
Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly: "Please come in."

Not for a moment.

Eunuch Xiang led a team of palace guards into Shouzhe's courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, he arched his hands towards Wang Shouzhe with a spring breeze on his face, and his attitude was very warm: "Congratulations to Patriarch Shouzhe, congratulations to Patriarch Shouzhe."

"Eunuch Xiang is too polite." Wang Shouzhe bowed his hands slightly, "What is your Highness's intention? You actually worked for your lord."

"Oh, Patriarch Shouzhe, you are going to kill little Xiangzi." Eunuch Xiang hastily returned the salute deeply, and then said with a smile on his face, "Your Highness is very happy to hear that Patriarch Shouzhe has been promoted to the realm of supernatural powers. I sent Xiao Xiangzi to bring you the family order of the third-rank family and the plaque of the third-rank family."

Wang Shouzhe's cheek twitched.

Di Zi'an, thank you, you're too quick.
