……
The world is big.
But no matter how big the world is, it has little to do with the Changning Wang family. After all, the Changning Wang family today is only a seventh-grade family.
Such an opportunity is a godsend for the Wang family, and they have the opportunity to fill the gap in the weapon refining field.
Beside the “Magma Pond”, in the secret room that has been opened, there is a pile of scrapped weapon refining parts, with a weapon refining platform sitting in the middle.
The refining platform is a must-have tool for the refining master. It is similar to the alchemist’s cauldron. It can ignite fire through the earth veins and introduce the earth fire into the spiritual platform. It can smelt materials and calcine prototypes of spiritual weapons and magic weapons. Very convenient.
Beside the weapon refining platform, there is also a metal puppet that is more than ten feet tall and looks majestic. Its overall color is dark red, and it seems to have experienced many battles, and its body structure has been damaged in many places.
After the weapon refining platform, there is Tian Yezi’s training platform. The key parts are made of heat-resistant red metal. Fire spiritual energy can be absorbed through the fire spiritual veins below and the fire Xuanwu skills can be practiced.
In addition, the materials left by Tian Yezi include “Tian Yezi’s experience in making weapons”, “Tian Yezi teaches you to learn to make weapons from scratch”, “Unnamed Miscellaneous Notes (Tian Yezi’s suicide note)”, “Ye Zi “Heaven’s Secret” (including the Qi Refining Chapter, the Lingtai Chapter, and the Heavenly Man Chapter), “The Heaven’s Fire Secret (Zifu Chapter)”, and “The Complete Book of Ten Thousand Treasures” (three chapters containing thirty-five spiritual weapons, five magic weapons, three A summary of the weapon refining formula and refining experience of puppets, two special spiritual treasures, one magical weapon, and a basic training platform with three attributes: gold, fire, and water.)
It is worth mentioning that “The Complete Book of Ten Thousand Treasures” is a classic complete book of weapon refining and creation collected by Tianhuo Sect. Each type is carefully selected before being collected and recorded. Compared with similar creations, they must be better in some aspects. It has strong advantages and characteristics.
Furthermore, Tian Yezi left a “Tiangong Box”.
This is a space treasure similar to a storage ring, but its storage space is much larger than an ordinary space storage ring. If you put all the objects in this room into it, the internal space is more than enough.
The only problem is that once the Tiangong Box is made, it is difficult to move it.
It’s not that it’s completely impossible to move, but it’s extremely difficult. If the Tiangong box is moved easily, the internal space will be turbulent. At worst, all the items will be scattered, and at worst, the important materials stored inside will be destroyed.
Moreover, it cannot be put into a storage ring and taken away, as this will cause collisions in the folding space, causing shocks in the storage space, and may even destroy the storage ring.
In short, it is like a large private multi-functional locker with excellent performance. It is easy to use, but it is extremely inconvenient to take it with you when running away.
Therefore, once the folding space inside most Tiangong boxes is unfolded, it will not be touched again.
Furthermore, Tian Yezi also left behind a high-grade storage ring. The power of divine consciousness belonging to Tian Yezi has been worn away by time. Apart from the chapters on the exercises, it is empty. things.
Together, these things are the entire legacy left by Tian Yezi.
Among them, although “Ye Tian Jue” is only a middle-grade fire-based technique, it is a prerequisite for inheriting everything Tian Yezi has done.
After all, senior Tian Yezi’s life-long weapon refining experience was derived from “Yetian Jue”. Later, in order to forcefully break through to the Zifu realm, he obtained “Tianhuo Zhenjue (Zifu Chapter)”. The latter only has the Zifu chapter and cannot practice alone at all.
Therefore, “Yetian Jue” was placed in a refining box. There is a card slot on the box, which can be placed into an ordinary spirit stone. After being activated, it can be used to test Xuanwu monks and “Yetian Jue”. 》The degree of matching.
If they cannot match, they will naturally not be able to inherit “Yetian Jue”.
Wang Shouming, Wang Lilian, Wang Zongyao, and Wang Luoqing are the discoverers of the ruins. When it comes to testing the compatibility, naturally the four of them take priority.
Following that, the four people conducted tests one after another.
Sure enough, as Longyan Ancestor expected, although Wang Shouming had practiced the “Red Dragon True Art” and was also a Xuanwu monk with the fire attribute, his matching degree with the “Yellow Heaven Art” was average, and he could not open the “Yellow Heaven Art”. The refining box of Tianjue.
This made Wang Shouming slightly disappointed.
On the other hand, Wang Shouyong stepped forward and comforted him: “Eighth brother, the “Red Dragon True Technique” you practiced was originally a top-grade technique, and it has great potential in the future. As long as you practice it steadily, you will definitely be able to use it.”
“Fifth brother, I understand.” Wang Shouming nodded, “Everyone in the family has his or her own duties. Whether you focus on fighting or not, you can open up the wild lands outside the territory for the family in the future.”
Subsequently, Wang Lilian, Wang Luoqing, and Wang Zongyao also conducted the test.
However, the result was unexpected. None of the three of them succeeded in matching.
This made everyone stunned.
It’s just a middle-grade skill, but the threshold is so high?
However, after everyone was stunned and made some inferences, they came to understand.
It should not be that the threshold of “Ye Tian Jue” itself is high, but that the threshold set by Tian Yezi is relatively high. After that, a group of young people from the Wang family took turns to take the test, but they were all rejected one by one.
After that, even Wang Shouyong tried, but still couldn’t pass Tian Yezi’s inheritance conditions.
In this case, we can only let the generals go up and try it.
One failure, two failures, three failures…
A few days later, just when everyone was about to give up hope, an eleven-year-old family general Miao Zi Wang Ping suddenly passed the test, opened Tian Yezi’s box, and got “Yezi” Heaven’s Secret”.
Everyone was a little confused for a moment.
However, this was a good thing after all. Everyone soon stopped worrying about it and started to think about the reason. Soon, all Wang Ping’s information appeared in front of Liu Ruolan, Ancestor Longyan and others.
When this child was eight years old, he passed the Wang’s Spiritual Testing Platform test, and his initial qualification was low-grade C-level. He was neither good nor bad among the young people at home. The speed of cultivation is neither fast nor slow, and now he has just reached the middle of the first level of Qi Refining Realm.
My academic performance in ethnic studies is only average.
As for his appearance, he is not handsome, and looks a bit naive. But it was such an ordinary child who passed the test…
The only advantage this child has is that he has been a tenant farmer of the Wang family since his great-grandfather, and his identity can be said to be innocent.
In fact, this advantage is really not an advantage.
In the Wang family’s current family general training system, a clean identity is the first element.
Those who can become family generals are basically descendants of the Wang family, servants of the Wang family, tenant farmers of the Wang family, or civilians under the jurisdiction, and their ancestors can be traced for at least three generations…
Wang Ping’s inexplicable passing made Wang Shouming and others unconvinced.
Is it possible that this humble family leader is better than them? Moreover, this boy looks dark and naive, without any aura of brilliance at all.
The “poor” family general Xiaomiao Wang Ping didn’t even know what was going on, so he slipped over.
This was the first time he met Liu Ruolan, the “high-ranking” wife of the Wang family, and the legendary ancestor Longyan. He was trembling with nervousness, his legs kept swinging, and he lowered his head and couldn’t say a word. Dare not say anything.
Furthermore, the young masters and ladies in the family all looked at him unkindly and seemed quite dissatisfied with him.
“Wang Ping, don’t be afraid.” Liu Ruolan said slowly, “Since you have joined the Wang family as a general, you are a member of my Wang family, not an outsider.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Seeing Liu Ruolan’s pleasant expression, Wang Ping relaxed a little.
The generals of the Wang family are all trained from an early age. They not only have to practice martial arts, but also receive strict cultural education in family studies. In this regard, they are treated equally with direct lineage and even direct lineage, and their abilities are relatively comprehensive. of.
Although Wang Ping is young, after he relaxes, he is well-founded and considerate in his actions. He is somewhat like the elders of the family.
“If you can open the jade box for refining weapons, you must be unique. Think carefully about whether you are different from others.” Liu Ruolan asked casually, “If you don’t think so, It’s okay to get up, there’s no need to force it.”
Wang Ping thought hard for a while, but his expression was still blank: “Mrs. Qi Chong, the most glorious time for my subordinates was when they passed the family general test and made their neighbors very envious. The rest is nothing.”
The words just fell.
Suddenly.
A sword buzzing sound sounded in the air, and a sword light struck him like lightning. Its speed is so fast that even high-level Qi Refining Realm masters cannot catch it.
But Wang Ping’s eyes widened and he instinctively took half a step back, his face instantly turning pale.
The magic weapon emitting purple light passed half a foot away in front of him, then flew back and was re-entered into the scabbard at Wang Longyan’s waist.
Everything happens in the blink of an eye.
“Ancestor, what are you doing…” Wang Shouming was startled, and he hurriedly held up his hands and begged, “Although we are unhappy with Wang Ping, he is not wrong after all. Please calm down, Ancestor.”
The other juniors also quickly asked for mercy.
Although Wang Ping did seem a little dull, which made them feel unwilling, it was not his fault. They have been educated in the style of the Wang clan since they were young, and they have relatively positive views. They don’t want to watch something happen to Wang Ping…
“Don’t worry, you two.” Liu Ruolan smiled, “How can our ancestors be such indiscriminate people? It was just a test. Now I can see clearly, Wang Ping seems ordinary. , but his instinctive reaction is extremely fast, and he has condensed a trace of spiritual consciousness. No wonder, he, who is ordinary in other aspects, can pass the test of senior Tian Yezi.”
A trace of consciousness?
Wang Shouming and others were all surprised.
This kid Wang Ping is only eleven years old, at the first level of Qi Refining Realm… but he already has a glimmer of consciousness?
Divine consciousness is also called spiritual consciousness. The name is different, but the meaning is indeed the same.
When Xuanwu monks are in the Qi Refining Realm, they take the path of refining Qi and blood to temper their bodies and meridians, thereby strengthening themselves and generating more high-quality Xuan Qi.
During this process, although the Xuanwu monks’ physiques become stronger, they will gradually gather a trace of their spiritual consciousness. However, after all, the Qi Refining Realm is not a realm specifically designed to strengthen their spiritual consciousness. Therefore, most of the Qi Refining Realm monks’ spiritual consciousness does not exist. Considered strong.
Only by breaking through to the Lingtai realm and opening the Lingtai can the spiritual consciousness increase dramatically.
At this time, Xuanwu monks can control spiritual weapons to fight. Without the gradual integration of spiritual consciousness and spiritual weapons, even some sharp spiritual weapons can only be used as more powerful weapons.
Being able to possess a trace of spiritual consciousness at the first level of Qi Refining Realm, it can be seen that Wang Ping’s spiritual consciousness potential is relatively high. As for weapon refining, it often requires a higher level of consciousness to feel the changes in temperature, to control the shape of objects, etc.
This is not to say that those who are not strong in spiritual consciousness cannot refine weapons, but it is obvious that Tian Yezi set a higher threshold in order to pursue a higher quality “disciple from another generation”.
“In this case, Wang Ping, you still have to go to school. You just have to separate your cultivation and chores to learn the “Yetian Jue” and accept the inheritance of weapon refining.” Liu Ruolan said firmly, “In addition, , Zong Yao, you practice Wang’s “Xuanyuan Jue”, there is no problem in spending some time to practice “Yetian Jue”. Senior Tianyezi also has no rules, only one person can accept the inheritance. And you are older, He has a mature and stable personality, and can also accept the inheritance of weapon refining. From now on, Wang Ping will learn with you~”
“As for strengthening the spiritual consciousness, I will discuss it with your fourth uncle when he comes back and see if we can think of a way.”
Wang Zongyao was suddenly overjoyed.
However, after all, he was no longer a child, and he could still suppress his excitement. He cupped his hands and thanked him: “Thank you, Fourth Aunt, for your support.”
Ancestor Longyan also nodded secretly.
She has always guarded her shortcomings, and does not want to rely solely on a family general to maintain the inheritance of “Yetian Jue”. Now it seems that Tian Yezi has a somewhat paranoid personality and has set a series of conditions on the weapon refining box.
In terms of pure potential, she believed Zong Yao was far superior to Wang Ping.
And the family’s inheritance of weapon refining did not happen overnight. Only by passing it on from one generation to two and three generations can the Wang family’s heritage in the art of weapon refining become more and more profound.
This matter has been settled for now.
Since the “Qinglian Fire Valley” has been included in the Wang family’s territory, subsequent development plans have naturally been put on the agenda, including opening up paths in the mountains, building living areas, forging areas, and setting up Sentries, arranging patrols and garrison forces… and other specific tasks will also be gradually arranged.
Within a few decades, Qinglian Fire Valley will become a treasure land of the Wang family.
……
Almost at the same time.
Changningwei, Qian’s villa.
It was just after dinner time, and there was still a ray of setting sun hanging in the sky. The setting sun was like blood, reflecting half of the sky red.
The sky has not yet completely darkened, but in the main hall of the inner courtyard, the fluorescent stone lamp has already turned on. The lavender curtains made of spiritual silk hang on both sides of the room. They seem to be coated with a layer of light under the light, making them look noble and elegant.
In the corner, a red copper incense burner cast in the shape of Pixiu exudes smoke, making it look peaceful and peaceful.
However.
The atmosphere in the main hall at this moment has nothing to do with the word “peaceful”.
More than a dozen middle-aged people in brocade clothes were sitting or standing, gathering in twos and threes to communicate in low voices. These people were all different in height, short, fat, and thin, but they all had similar round faces. They looked friendly, but their brows were all furrowed, and there was an inexplicable anxiety in the atmosphere.
The person sitting at the head of this group of people is none other than the current head shopkeeper of Ningwei Branch of Qian’s Commercial Bank, Qian Xue’an.
“Big shopkeeper, what’s the situation now?” A middle-aged man in black brocade stood beside Qian Xue’an and asked in a low voice, “I received an order to hold a meeting, but the one on the envelope was not yours. It’s the seal of the master, but the master’s seal. How could the master bypass you and give us orders directly? What on earth is that Qian Xuerui doing?”
He is one of Qian Xue’an’s confidants. He was suddenly summoned to a meeting this time, and he felt unsure.
“Don’t be impatient for a moment.” Qian Xue’an waved his hand and reassured him, “Now, we can only wait and see. No matter what move he makes, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it.”
In fact, he had no idea.
These days, on the one hand, he tried every means to appease and win over people’s hearts, and asked his men to be tied to a boat with him. On the other hand, he also sent people to keep an eye on Qian Xuerui.
But after Qian Xuerui stayed here, he should eat, drink, and go shopping, as if he was here for a trip, which made him unpredictable and he didn’t know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
While talking.
Suddenly a servant boy’s call came from outside the door: “Master Rui has arrived.”
After the words fell, the room suddenly became silent.
Generally speaking, only the direct descendants of families above the Zi Mansion, and those with outstanding qualifications, will be honored as “Young Master”.
In the Qian family of Zi Mansion, there is only one person who is honored as “Mr. Rui”.
Everyone unconsciously looked towards the door.
In the twilight, I saw a figure walking slowly, surrounded by servants and children.
That was a young man with a tall and straight body.
He has Qian’s signature round face, thick eyebrows and thick lips, and a simple and honest look. There is a hint of shrewdness from the bones in his slightly narrowed eyes, but it is also covered by the drooping eyes. Most of the eyes are covered, making it difficult for people to see through.
The setting sun was like blood, plating a layer of dim brilliance on his body. Even the dark blue brocade clothes were smudged by this luster, revealing a faint purple color.
The expressions of the shopkeepers present unconsciously became solemn, their eyes flickered, and they pretended to glance at Qian Xu’an casually.
“Master Rui.”
Qian Xue’an suppressed his emotions, stepped forward calmly, bowed, and welcomed the group in. At the same time, he vacated the top position and ordered people to change the tea.
“Master Rui, please take a seat.”
As a child of an aristocratic family, he has been taught strict etiquette since he was a child. No matter what he is thinking in his heart, no matter what he is thinking, there is no fault in the etiquette on the surface. A score of ten to ten.
Unexpectedly, Qian Xuerui did not answer his question, but waved his hand with a smile: “The boss is my brother. How dare Xuerui take the lead in front of my brother. I just stand and speak.”
Qian Xuerui refused to sit down, so it was naturally inconvenient for others to sit down and they could only stand and listen to him.
The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became subtle, and Qian Xue’an’s expression also froze slightly.
He expected that Qian Xuerui came with bad intentions, but he didn’t expect that he didn’t even bother to do any superficial things. These words seemed to be polite, but in fact they were insulting to him in public, and it was obvious that he was not prepared to give him any face.
Qian Xueruan’s face was slightly gloomy. He could tell that Qian Xuerui was not going to beat around the bush with him and started to fall out directly.
As expected, Qian Xuerui suppressed his smile and spoke again: “It has been a while since I came to Nanliuwei. During this time, I got to know the situation of Nanliuwei a little bit, and I feel very disappointed~”
Qian Xue’an said with a cold face: “Master Rui, if you have anything to say, just say it.”
Qian Xuerui sneered: “I, the Qian family, have cooperated with the Changning Wang family in-law group for more than 20 years. In terms of strength, connections, and channels, I, the Qian family, occupy an absolutely dominant position, but the profits are king. The others took the majority and fed the Wang family from the ninth grade to the seventh grade. My brother has nothing to explain?”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sudden silence all around. The shopkeepers all lowered their heads, not even daring to take a breath.
Qian Xue’an suppressed the anger in his heart: “Master Rui is joking, it is not my credit that the Changning Wang family can become the seventh rank. What’s more, the Changning Wang family’s generation is full of talents, and they are deeply loved in the academy. In fact, we took advantage of the cooperation between our Qian family and the Wang family in Changning.”
Qian Xuerui seemed to have expected that he would say this, and smiled when he heard the words: “The Changning Wang family has a close relationship with the Xuegong. Is the relationship between the Qian family and the Xuegong not so good? The Qian family and the Xuegong We have been cooperating with each other for thousands of years. In terms of close relationship, how can the Changning Wang family be better than my Qian family? As for who takes advantage, huh, if not for the cooperation with my Qian family, the Changning Wang family would still want to sell the goods to Longzuo Isn’t every corner perfect?”
“The rise of the Wang family in Changning is all due to the protection of my Qian family.”
After a pause, his expression calmed down and his voice became colder: “What’s more, now that the family’s fortune is booming and they are trying to train a second Master of the Purple Mansion, the demand for resources is greater than before, don’t you know? At this time, you don’t want to strive for more benefits for the family, but instead defend others everywhere, are you still reasonable?!”
“You!”
Qian Xue’an was so angry that his face was livid. This kid didn’t understand anything and he was talking nonsense here.
He deliberately wanted to refute, but Qian Xuerui directly raised the issue to the family level. No matter how many reasons he had, they could not be worth the words “for the family.”
He simply didn’t bother to argue. He simply shook his sleeves and said coldly: “It doesn’t matter whether I made any mistakes or not. Let me ask Xuerui, in what capacity are you questioning me? So what if you are a direct descendant? You have no power or position, so what qualifications do you have to judge me and interrogate me?”
As if Qian Xuerui had expected that he would say this, he took out something from the storage ring and showed it: “Brother Xue’an, what do you think this is?”
The glowing stone lamp’s light was bright and soft, clearly reflecting the appearance of the items in his hands. It was a token carved from thousand-year-old oak wood, with inscriptions surrounding the edges and the word “order” in the center.
“Family Head’s Order?!”
Everyone present looked horrified. They quickly bowed their heads and bowed deeply in the direction of the token.
Qian Xue’an’s face turned pale instantly.
The “Family Head’s Order” is a token unique to the Qian family head of the Zi Mansion, which can be used to perform some of the family head’s powers.
Theoretically speaking, with the family head’s order in hand, everything can be decided with one word. There is no special reason, and the Presbyterian Church will not deny the family leader this face.
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Qian Xuerui was satisfied, nodded slightly and said: “Before I came, the head of the family gave me this and told me to act cheaply. Now, I am removing Qian Xueruan on the grounds of disregarding the interests of the family. The position of chief shopkeeper. Do you have any objections?”
Everyone present is just a small shopkeeper, how can they have the courage to oppose the order of the family leader?
At that moment, they all leaned down to salute and said, “But Mr. Pingrui made the decision.”
Seeing this, Qian Xuean knew that the situation was over and that it was useless to continue struggling.
“Master Rui even invited the ‘Family Head’s Order’, how dare I have any objections?” He glanced at Qian Xuerui with a smile, “Since he is no longer the chief shopkeeper, Xu’an will not stay I’ve offended Mr. Rui by coming down, so I’m going to leave now.”
After saying that, he handed over to Qian Xuerui, turned around and retreated.
Before leaving, he felt a little sad and angry, but also felt regretful. He and Wang Shouzhe have known each other for many years and have a deep affection for each other. He naturally knows that although brother Shouzhe is very moral and loyal, he is not willing to suffer when he is angered.
I wonder what happened to the head of the family, who has always been quite famous, this time? He actually let this young boy like Qian Xuerui come to stir things up and pick Qian Xuer’an’s peaches.
What a stupid move!
Now, Qian may be in big trouble. Qian Xuerui, Qian Xuerui, I’m afraid you’ve really gotten into trouble this time.
But that’s all. Now that Qian has taken over Wang’s business style, his net income has suddenly increased significantly. Sooner or later, someone will appear who is greedy for this piece of fat.
Qian Xuerui is not here today, but someone even more ruthless may come tomorrow.
Only when Brother Shouzhe hurts you, will you know who took advantage. Only then will you understand the true capabilities of me, Qian Xue’an.
After thinking about this, Qian Xue’an became calmer inside.
……
