Chapter 110 The Rise of a New Atmosphere

…

"Good fellow, with Patriarch Xiaohan's momentum, he must have already reached the third level of the Lingtai realm, right?" Liang Haofeng and Sun Yunfei looked at that scene with somewhat shocked expressions on their faces.

Wang Xiaohan is the second person in the Lingtai realm of the Ping'an Wang family. He was already in his sixties when he broke through. Among the many Lingtai realm ancestors in Changning Guard, he was a late bloomer.

However, it has only been nineteen years since he broke through to the Lingtai realm, but his cultivation has skyrocketed upward like reverse growth.

There is no other reason, Ping An Wang is just rich.

Once the Lingtai seeds of most ninth-grade families break through to the Lingtai realm, their cultivation resources will gradually fail to keep up. Just to maintain cultivation and combat power requires a large amount of spiritual, flesh, spiritual rice, and elixirs such as strengthening the foundation and cultivating the essence. It consumes at least seven to eight hundred or thousands of dry gold a year.

For a poorer ninth-grade family, after deducting all expenses for a year, it is still a question whether the balance can exceed one thousand gold.

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

If the ancestor of a ninth-grade family in the Lingtai realm started practicing in order to pursue rapid advancement in cultivation, thousands of gold a year might not be enough. He will be like a gold-swallowing beast, squeezing the cultivation resources of the younger generations of the family. By then, the foundation of the family will be gradually hollowed out.

Moreover, such a huge amount of training is not cost-effective. In the middle stage of the Lingtai Realm, life span will not increase even in the later stages. If one cannot reach the Heavenly Realm, it will all be in vain.

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

However, ancestor Xiaohan was different.

Under Wang Shouzhe's strong arrangements, Ancestor Xiaohan made a lot of contributions every year, rotating the in-laws' family property, guarding the Qianma Town property, and participating in various family tasks.

Especially in recent years, plus the fact that Patriarch Xiaohan is an elder of the Lingtai realm, the combined annual support and subsidies amount to at least seven to eight thousand gold or more, which is enough for him to practice in a more luxurious way.

Therefore, the result of Patriarch Xiaohan’s strong stamina appears.

Moreover, a few years ago, Wang Shouzhe used a marrow cleansing pill to increase the bloodline of ancestor Xiaohan, and then used the Wedding Clothes Blood Gu to pulse his blood to the second level of the Lingtai Realm.

With such bloodline and cultivation, he would be considered an elite disciple in the academy.

"Hahaha ~ Sister Zhenrong, you didn't tell me in advance when you returned to your parents' home." Wang Xiaohan flew across the river like a roc with amazing momentum, "Fortunately, Shouzhe just got the news and asked me to Came to pick you up."

As the words fell, 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 came forward to greet each other, greeting each other and exchanging pleasantries.

Liang Haofeng and Sun Yunfei on the side looked at him with envy. The Ping'an Wang family and the Shanyang Gongsun family are both too powerful.

The Ping An Wang family is now the Heavenly Man Wang family, so I won’t mention it anymore. Even the Gongsun clan of Shanyang, among the people who came to attend the banquet of gods and humans, there were three Lingtai realms.

Even Gongsun Yan, who was only in his thirties, had already broken through to the Lingtai realm last year.

For a moment, the two little ancestors of the ninth-grade family became a little embarrassed, unable to move forward or retreat from the side.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaohan also recognized the two of them. After entertaining the Gongsun family, he said hello and chatted with them.

Liang Haofeng and Sun Yunfei were immediately flattered, and they cautiously started talking to Wang Xiaohan.

This made Liang Haofeng feel filled with emotion. He was also an ancestor of the Lingtai realm, but being born into different families had different fates.

…

time flies.

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

There are temporary pavilions built in the huge square paved with countless square bluestones.

This time, everyone in the Wang family, young and old, has already taken action.

Especially the younger generation of the Wang family, anyone over the age of fourteen has been assigned tasks and is entertaining guests from all walks of life.

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

The once handsome young man has now become a forty-year-old mature man. The hardships of life and the life after marriage have made him mature and slightly put on weight. There are two more mustaches on his upper lip, which is the same as when he was young. There is a big difference.

At this moment, he was wearing a brocade robe, standing among a group of young people, feeling quite calm and confident.

far away.

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

Wang Shounuo said: "These are the Yingxiu Wu family and the Yingxiu Hang family, two ninth-grade families. Zong Yao, please bring your brother Zongcai to receive them together and give him some experience."

Wang Shouzhe's control over Ping'an Town has always been extremely strict. Today's control channels are even spreading outwards. Once any team from aristocratic families enters Wang's control range, Wang will immediately receive the news.

Wang knew clearly which family came and where the team went.

As Wang Shounuo finished speaking, 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 son of the "Shou" generation. At the age of nineteen this year, he has sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, he is majestic and heroic, but he does not have the impetuousness of a young man, but exudes a calm demeanor.

No wonder.

The Ping An Wang family has extremely high demands on the younger generation of clan members.

All members of the Wang clan, regardless of gender, are required to attend clan school to learn basic knowledge from the age of five. At the age of twelve, you are eligible to start applying for some simple family tasks.

Starting from the age of fourteen, while attending family studies, you also have to follow your elder brothers, sisters, or elders to participate in some family affairs. When you graduate from ethnic studies at the age of sixteen, you need to formally participate in managing family affairs.

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

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

This kid is naturally Wang Zongcai.

He is the eldest son of Wang Shounuo, and his mother is from the direct lineage of Yingxiu Lu family.

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

The two brothers followed the order and soon met the motorcade of the Yingxiu Wu family and the Yingxiu Hang family, and began to entertain the guests with courtesy, without any slights due to the fact that the other party was from a ninth-grade family.

The Yingxiu Wu family led the team this time with Wu Yunkun, the ancestor of the Lingtai realm. The leader of the Yingxiu Chen family is Chen Yuyang, the ancestor of the Lingtai realm. Both of them are mature people and have a clear understanding of their own status. Therefore, there is no dissatisfaction because Wang sent two juniors to receive them.

After all, this banquet of heaven and man is a big event for the entire Changning Guard.

Every one of Chang Ningwei's aristocratic families must send someone here. There are already dozens of aristocratic families.

Not to mention that the Wang family has made a lot of friends over the years. Among the six southern guards of Longzuo County, it is rare for a heavenly family or an eighth-grade family to be invited.

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

What's more, the two juniors who came to greet them were considered to be the best among people, both in terms of their appearance and demeanor, as well as their cultivation strength, which gave them enough face.

But this also made them shocked and envious.

That Wang Zongyao, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old, was already experienced and experienced, and his cultivation had already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm.

And Wang Zongcai is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but his cultivation is already at the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining Realm.

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

Sure enough, the atmosphere of the Tianren family cannot be compared to that of the ninth-grade family.

Under the reception of Wang Zongyao and Wang Zongcai, the steward quickly registered the list of gifts and sent his generals and servants to put the gifts brought by the two aristocratic families into the treasury one by one.

After doing this, Wang Zongyao and his brother led the way to where they lived.

The banquet between heaven and man will not start until some time later, so they naturally need to settle down first.

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

"Tavern?"

The two ancestors, Wu Yunkun and Chen Yuyang, were slightly stunned.

Although they had known that there were many visitors, it was probably not their turn to live in the guest house of the main house, but even if they were mentally prepared before coming, they would still feel somewhat uncomfortable about being slighted.

Hasn't the Wang family thought about building more villas in recent years?

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

It was a huge and strange building, more than twenty feet high and more than fifty feet wide. It was arched and surrounded the bank of Zhuwei Lake.

Its walls are all paved with white, smooth terrazzo, and the windows are all inlaid with large pieces of pure ocean glass, which shine brightly in the sunlight.

As a luxury product, foreign glass has only gradually become popular in the past ten years.

Especially the Lu family, who also lives in Yingxiu, has more and more foreign glassware in the family. In order to save face and keep up with the trend, Yingxiu Wu and Yingxiu Chen often purchased foreign glass products through Lu.

Usually they are treasured as treasures and will be taken out to show off when distinguished guests come. Wang actually used such pure large pieces of foreign glass to make windows...

This is inlaid with foreign glass, it is clearly shining dry gold~

Even the ancestor was shocked, let alone the juniors who followed the ancestor. They were all dumbfounded, looking up at this magnificent twenty-story building in trance.

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

And this is not the most shocking thing.

As they stepped into the lobby, they clearly felt what grandeur was.

Hanging from high in the sky, the gorgeous and complicated foreign glass lamps illuminate people, the spotless ground, the pillars so thick that two people need to hug them...

What they saw before them was almost dizzying.

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

"Why do these foreign glass lamps glow? They are so beautiful." A pretty but shy girl from the Yingxiu Wu family asked curiously, blinking her moist eyes.

"Miss Lingyun." Wang Zongyao replied politely, "This is the formation lighting system developed by Aunt Xiaoxiao, her master, and my fourth uncle. The principle is to drive the spiritual stone through the formation, and convert it into When spiritual energy is injected into the glass lamp, it can emit light of various colors."

"Aunt Xiaoxiao? Is she Senior Lu Xiaoxiao from the Lu family?" Wu Lingyun blinked her pretty eyes and said with admiration, "Senior Xiaoxiao is already in the Lingtai realm before he is thirty, and he is still a rare formation master. Truly an idol to us religious women.”

"Miss Lingyun, you are also very strong." Wang Zongyao praised, "I heard that our Chang Ningwei's overall score in the Academy Examination this year was good. A total of three people passed the preliminary examination, and among them, Miss Lingyun's score was first. Moreover, you are already at the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining Realm when you are only seventeen years old. If you work hard and sprint, you can reach the seventh level by the age of eighteen, and you are sure to enter the Academy."

"Fourth Young Master, you are overly praised." Wu Lingyun's cheeks were slightly red and she lowered her head and said, "Originally, I thought my grades were good, but when I saw you, Fourth Young Master, I realized that there was someone else. I just didn't know that Fourth Young Master, you have such outstanding potential. , why don’t you take the Academy Preliminary Examination?”

The rest of the people also looked at Wang Zongyao with curious eyes. He was at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm at the age of nineteen. As long as he participated, he was guaranteed to be the first.

Wang Zongyao did not answer in a hurry, but first led Wu and Chen to check in.

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

When registering with the maid at the front desk of the hotel, he explained humbly: "There are too many brothers and sisters in the family who go to the Academy. We have to leave some people in the family to develop and strengthen the family. Besides, I am too weak to go to the Academy." It’s boring.”

Too weak...

The young people, including Wu Lingyun, all looked at Wang Zongyao with strange eyes. If the Fourth Young Master Zong Yao is too weak, then what are the "leaders" of their family?

They really deserve to be the Heavenly Man and Wang Family, the gap between them is too big.

Everyone praised Wang Zongyao and thought he was too modest.

"Well... the fourth brother is modest, indeed a little weak." Wang Zongcai on the side looked upright and said truthfully, "If he goes to the academy with his strength, he can only follow others and shout cheers, but he should be honest and loyal to the family. Let’s develop.”

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

"What's the use of the core? Aren't you being beaten every day?" Wang Zongcai shook his head upright and sighed, "The atmosphere in the academy is not good now. All peaks and branches are trying their best to recruit young geniuses to be their successors, and they will only beat the cores of other branches."

"This is not because..."

Wang Zongyao wanted to say that these were the bad habits brought out by his two aunts after they entered school. Especially Sixth Aunt Luo Qiu, who beat all the core disciples who could beat her within a few years of entering school.

"So, if you can't go to the academy now and you can't get a direct pass, don't go there." Wang Zongcai said distressedly, "Those like us who can't get a direct pass should just farm at home."

Several young people from the Wu family and the Chen family were dumbfounded. Aren’t you supposed to study and practice in peace and contentment when you go to the Academy? Why does it sound like a devil's cave?

The two ancestors Wu and Chen were also dumbfounded. If you can't become a direct descendant, why don't you go to the academy? I'm afraid even a sixth-grade family wouldn't dare to make such a request.

Wu Lingyun, in particular, was so frightened that her face turned pale. She pulled Wu Yunkun's sleeve and said, "Grandpa Zu, can I not go to the academy? I don't want to be beaten."

Wu Yunkun's face was a little stiff: "Lingyun, don't mess around. With your talent and strength, would it be possible for you to marry casually if you didn't go to the academy? If you stay at home, your family won't be able to support you on the spiritual platform. You Isn’t this life going to be wasted?”

There is already a Lingtai species in the family, which takes up too many cultivation resources. In the future, it is necessary to save some money to buy the Heavenly Spirit Pill for attacking the Lingtai realm. With the Yingxiu Wu family's background, there is no way to support the second Lingtai species.

This is the sadness and helplessness of a low-income family.

Wu Lingyun fell silent.

If you cannot achieve the spiritual platform, you will be just a mortal. You will be old when you live to be fifty or sixty years old, and you may end up in a coffin at any time starting from your seventy or eighty years old.

In the Lingtai realm, one can live for two hundred years, and a person who is over a hundred years old is considered a young person.

It's a world of difference.

If she had poor qualifications, she wouldn't want to do it, but her qualifications were not bad. Since she had the opportunity, how could she not give it a try?

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

During this period, Wu Lingyun had been silent and ignorant. Even when she saw the "spiritual ladder" driven by the formation, she was a little listless and couldn't get out of her mind.

I don’t really want to go to the academy anymore, but I don’t want to live like a mortal. It’s really hard.

Arranged in the same suite as her was Chen Yushan, the second daughter of the Chen family. She looked around excitedly, seeing something new everywhere: "Sister Lingyun, look, there is a mechanism here. Just press it and the lights in the room will light up."

“Sister Lingyun, look, look, look, you can see the entire Zhuwei Lake from this angle, it’s so beautiful~”

"Sister Lingyun, there are instructions for this bathroom. If you unscrew this mechanism, water will flow out. Well, hot water will be supplied at twelve o'clock. Hey, what is this? This, this, this, is actually a toilet... I'm so embarrassed."

"Oh my god, this bed is so soft. What kind of fairy life do the people of the Celestial Wang family live? This is so happy!"

Although Wu Lingyun was also quite interested, she was still in a very low mood, so she could only accompany Chen Yushan to see what was new.

"Sister Lingyun, Fourth Young Master Zong Yao is really good-looking, gentle and elegant. If you can marry him, life will be easier."

Wu Lingyun was suddenly shocked: "Yushan, you are only fourteen years old, and you are already thinking about getting married? And you are still the legitimate daughter of the family, so you can marry into another ninth-grade family and become a eldest wife."

"Madam, what good is a great lady?" Chen Yushan pouted and said, "The ninth-grade aristocratic family is too poor and downtrodden. Even if you become a great lady, you will just live a hard life together. Fourth Young Master Zong Yao Although he is only a direct disciple, looking at Chang Ning Wei, who is the legitimate son of a noble family who can compare with him?"

"My great-grandfather said before he brought me to see the world, except for Wang Zong'an, the fifth son of the Wang family, if you like any unmarried young talents from the Wang family, just tell him and he will find a way to match them." Chen Yushan said without any scheming, "Besides, it is not shameful for a ninth-grade legitimate daughter to marry a seventh-grade straight lineage. There are many similar situations in various cities and guards. My grandfather said that in the future, the Wang family may not only be of seventh grade..."

Every sentence seemed to poke into Wu Lingyun's heart, and seemed to open a door to a new world for her.

If it is the Fourth Young Master Zong Yao, it seems to be quite good...

…

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

Wang Shouzhe followed the rules for this heavenly feast. All the heavenly and human families in Nanliuwei sent out invitations one by one. If nothing unexpected happened, they would all send people to support it.

Anyone who can become the head of a Celestial Family is not stupid. Who would offend a newly promoted Celestial Family for no reason? It’s not like you’re full after eating.

All told, there must be more than a dozen celestial families. These celestial families can only rely on Wang Shouzhe and Ancestor Longyan to receive them personally.

As for the female family members of the Heavenly Family, they also had to be entertained by the legitimate female family members with high status such as Gongsun Hui, Liu Ruolan, Wang Luomiao, and Wang Liyao.

If you randomly ask a junior to receive the Celestial Family, this will be a lack of etiquette and will only increase the hatred between the two parties.

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

Wang Shouzhe was personally entertaining Lei Yangyu, a representative of the Heavenly Being Lei family who came to congratulate him.

The two sat across from each other, sipping spiritual tea.

The fragrance of tea lingered around, but Lei Yangyu's face was rather gloomy. He glanced at Wang Shouzhe from time to time, as if he had a big opinion against him.

"Brother Yangyu, come and try this crystal persimmon." Wang Shouzhe greeted him with a smile on his face, "This is one of the specialties of Changchun Valley in the Academy. I asked my friends in the Academy to chill it before using it. The spiritual bird, the flying chariot, and the stars are sent day and night. This spiritual persimmon..."

Before Wang Shouzhe finished speaking, Lei Yangyu interrupted him mercilessly: "Wang Shouzhe, I, Lei Yangyu, regard you as a brother, but you insist on treating me as your elder! This matter, no, these two matters You have to give me an explanation, otherwise I, Lei Yangyu, will sever ties with you!"

"Explain, of course I have to give an explanation." Wang Shouzhe slapped his chest loudly, then turned to glare at a handsome young man, "Old Seven, now that the matter has come out. You will also meet Yan Yun's brother and sister as soon as possible. If you get married, your family will flourish as soon as possible and your family will be prosperous."

That young man was Wang Shouye who was sent by Wang Shouzhe to learn alchemy. He looked bitter and depressed: "Fourth brother, I just want to make an elixir in peace, and I don't want to get married."

"Nonsense!" Wang Shouzhe said with a straight face, "You want to make elixirs quietly, but what are you doing to ruin the girl's innocence?"

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

"Lao Qi, be careful what you say." Wang Shouzhe said with a straight face, "No matter what happens, the matter has reached this point, you just accept it. I also know my sister Yan Yun, she is obsessed 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 despair, "Yes, fourth brother."

"Don't have such an expression. Adding more people to the family is also making a contribution to the family." Wang Shouzhe patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "At this point, you have to learn from your father. In recent years, you have contributed to the family." Added a boy."

When this matter was mentioned, Wang Shouye was quite speechless. His father, Wang Dinghai, was getting more lively as he got older.

Not counting Wang Shouming, the eighth eldest son of the Shou family, and Wang Luoqing, the ninth eldest son of the Luo family, they gave birth to a younger brother two years ago, Wang Shoucheng, the ninth eldest son of the Shou family.

This is great, Wang Shouxin, the eldest in the "Shou" generation, is already sixty-three, and Wang Shoucheng, the youngest, is only two years old. Wang Guangning, the oldest member of the "room" generation, has to call the two-year-old "Grandpa Ninth."

"Yes, Fourth Brother, I'll try my best."

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

"Okay, okay." Lei Yangyu was relieved, "Although my direct descendant of the Lei family is marrying your direct descendant of the Wang family, my virtuous son-in-law will be a great alchemist in the future, so that's not the case. It's an insult to my Lei family. Brother Shouzhe, from now on our Lei family and Wang family will be in-laws."

Wang Shouzhe stared at him secretly, "You've changed your face so quickly."

However, you may have to change again next.

…
