Success depends on your hard work, a little luck, and a little support.
Without the latter two, the former is worthless.
Wang Xu understands the key to success, especially after witnessing too many grassroots failures, he understands that those who work hard may not necessarily gain.
All they have is a self-comfort, a famous saying: "I tried my best!"
Little do they know that hard work has nothing to do with success. Behind every successful person is not hard work.
After countless failures, they may find that being a salty fish is quite good.
Of course, Wang Xu is not included, he has already grasped the cornerstone of success.
This cornerstone is none other than Xu Gaoxian, who was born in the ghost lineage and is the current commander of the Fifth Cultivation Group, known as the Corpse Demon.
Xu Gaoxian is a warrior of the ghost lineage, a Mahayana monk from an old family, and also belongs to the lineage of the Black Hell Master.
The Xu family he belonged to, before the era of cultivation, was a first-rate force on the ancestral planet, and was also one of the first established families after the eight major families to take advantage of others.
The Wang family where Wang Xu belonged could only be regarded as a third-rate family before the era of cultivation, and was still some distance away from the Xu family.
But no matter what, we are all in the same circle.
In the past, Wang Xu had not heard any news about the Xu family because the Xu family had Mahayana monks and the Wang family did not have monks of that level, so he had no shame to step forward.
Things are different now. The Wang family has become a big family and a newly powerful family.
Naturally, the circle came together again, and with the fact that they both belonged to the same lineage of the Black Prison Master, the two families gradually started to move around.
Wang Xu received news from the old man that among the three major armies currently guarding the Totem Clan, Xu Gaoxian's fifth group was among them.
Xu family
"Brother, please tell me that Wang Xu from the Fulin Wang family is here to visit."
Standing outside the Xu family's residence, Wang Xu spoke to the monk guarding the door.
"Fulin Wang Family!"
The monks guarding the gate of the big family are all smart people with eyesight and ears. They quickly thought of Wang Xu's family origin and said with a smile: "It turns out that he is a descendant of Councilor Wang. Wait a minute, I will go in and report.
.”
Wang Xu waited with peace of mind. The Fulin Wang family he mentioned was the name of the Wang family in the old era before the era of cultivation.
Nowadays, those who can be called this way are all established forces born out of the old era. This kind of name is also a way to show their heritage and distinguish themselves from grassroots families.
For example, there are some Mahayana monks who came from grass-roots backgrounds and stood out as lucky ones in the great era.
They themselves are not from an old family, so they naturally do not have this name. If others hear it, it will be false and cannot be fooled.
Similarly, this is also a way to distinguish between one's own people and outsiders.
Without this background, one is a nouveau riche. This kind of nouveau riche is very marginalized in the Cultivation Council composed of aristocratic families.
After a while, a housekeeper came out of the manor.
It was the housekeeper who came, not the Xu family who personally greeted him, it wasn't the Xu family who was pretentious, but the Xu family had always been underpopulated.
There are only two generations of monks in the Xu family. The first generation is naturally Xu Gaoxian, and the following are two sons and one daughter. There is no third generation of monks at all.
Why is this happening? Because the more senior a family is, the more cautious they are about the reproduction of their children.
Mahayana monks themselves have an unlimited lifespan, as long as heaven and earth. It doesn't matter whether they have heirs or not.
In the age of cultivation, it was usually a monk who felt that it was difficult to improve, and then he would consider procreating heirs.
Take the Wang family as an example. After the integration period, the old man had two sons, Wang Tianhao and Wang Tianwang, when his cultivation was hopeless.
Xu Gaoxian was even more horrified. He didn't have his first daughter until he was promoted to the Mahayana stage, and he spent almost all his time on cultivation.
Influenced by their father, the same is true for the second-generation disciples of the Xu family. If they cannot cultivate themselves well, they will not be able to build a family.
Therefore, there is currently no one suitable to greet Wang Xu in the Xu family.
Even a second-generation disciple of the Xu family is of the same generation as Wang Xu's father. He can't just come out to greet his nephew as an uncle. That doesn't make sense.
"Wang Xu, have you met Shibo?"
Following the housekeeper into the mansion, Wang Xu soon met Xu Gaoxian, the leader of the Xu family, in the living room.
Xu Gaoxian looks very young, but he has white hair and looks very different.
However, he seemed very happy about Wang Xu's arrival and said with a smile: "Yes, it's really good. You can reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul before you are forty years old. You have a good chance of being promoted to the distraction stage before you are a hundred years old.
No wonder your grandpa likes you so much."
"Thank you, Uncle Shi." Wang Xu responded with a smile, pretending to be well-behaved.
Xu Gao
"Shibo Mingjian, this junior is indeed here for the expeditionary army."
Wang Xu did not deny anything and said respectfully: "The old man often told us juniors at home to learn from Shibo. This time, as soon as I heard that I had the opportunity to serve under you, I rushed over eagerly.
I'm looking for a job that can be done in front of me or on horseback."
"It's too unreasonable to say that your grandfather and I are old acquaintances. If I really want you to lead the horse and kick the horse, why would Old Ghost Wang fight with me?" Xu Gaoxian waved his hand and said: "Good steel is needed.
Use it wisely, and you can go back with peace of mind, I will have arrangements for you."
Wang Xu came here this time and wanted a guarantee.
In other words, it is to communicate with Xu Gaoxian that there is no benefit in forgetting about yourself.
Speaking of which, it would have been better if the old man came here this time. Unfortunately, the Cultivation Council is not a quiet yamen. As a member of the parliament, the old man is very busy and went to inspect local work half a year ago.
When I came, I just gave him a facade and told him that he had to handle the matter in person.
Wang Xu is not afraid of doing it himself.
However, after all, he and Xu Gaoxian were different in terms of seniority, and their current strengths were even more different. It would be good if Xu Gaoxian could see him, but forget about chatting and laughing with him.
As for the kind in which an old man and a young man meet and they immediately become friends, it doesn't exist in reality.
Doing some math, Xu Gaoxian's status is equivalent to the commander of a military region.
Wang Xu's identity is equivalent to that of the grandson of a certain State Department boss. There are too many interests involved behind these two people.
If Xu Gaoxian really hit it off with him, chatting and laughing, Wang Xu would have to worry about whether he was being plotted against.
An appointment like this can actually be more relaxing.
When the Wang family seeks help from the Xu family, naturally the Xu family also seeks help from the Wang family. Today you sell me face, and tomorrow I sell you face. This is how things like affection come about.
Wang Xu even suspected that the old man wanted to push him by asking him to do it by himself this time.
He came not only to represent himself, but also to represent the Wang family.
When others saw that Wang Xu was visiting other families on behalf of the Wang family, they knew that his status in the Wang family was very special and that he could not be treated as an ordinary member. Naturally, people would look down upon him.
Otherwise, even if the old man cannot come back, Wang Xu's parents can also be asked to come forward. Not doing so is an attitude in itself.
In this way, it took only half a stick of incense to enter the Xu family. Wang Xu was sent out by the Xu family steward without even having a cup of tea.
However, Wang Xu was very happy because he knew that the matter was done and all that was left was to wait.
After the registration is completed, and the army arrives at the territory of the Totem Tribe, there will naturally be good things waiting for him there.
