Wang Daoyuan wanted to rush forward immediately and sign up with the great elder. However, the clan leader was still talking loudly on the high platform, and he would have to worship his ancestors later, so he could only restrain the urge to rush forward.
After absentmindedly completing the ancestor worship process, it was already midnight. Wang Daoyuan was too anxious to wait for dawn, so he immediately followed the elder to the executive hall.
The standing hall is the office where the elders handle clan affairs. Wang Daoyuan followed the elder into the standing hall and found that someone was already waiting.
After the man saluted the great elder, he said to Wang Daoyuan: "Seventh brother, why are you here too?"
Wang Daoyuan ranked seventh among his peers, and the person he spoke to was Wang Daocheng, who ranked fourth.
Wang Daocheng is the eldest grandson of Jiu Shu Gong Wang Shoude, and Wang Daoyuan followed Jiu Shu Gong to make talismans. The two met often, so they were very familiar with each other.
Wang Daocheng has just turned twenty, and according to clan rules, he has to go out to work.
However, although Wang Daocheng has a grandfather who is a second-level spiritual talisman master, he is not a talisman-making material, and he knows nothing about the various arts of cultivating immortals. His cultivation speed is average. He is currently at the fifth level of Qi training, and he has no experience in fighting.
People's place.
His only specialty is his tactful approach and understanding of people. He is a good candidate to be a shopkeeper.
However, the shopkeeper is a fat guy, and only those with qualifications and merit can be hired. It is absolutely impossible for a young boy like him to be the shopkeeper.
If you want to be a shopkeeper, you have to find a shop to gain seniority, and the relationships in old shops are complex, and the shopkeeper focuses on cultivating people who are close to him, so it was difficult for him to get ahead in the past.
A newly opened store doesn't have so much to do. It's easy to draw on a blank piece of paper, but it's easier to get ahead.
Therefore, he came to the executive hall early to sign up.
Wang Daoyuan was not surprised to see his fourth brother here. The new store is a shortcut to get ahead, and no one who is thoughtful would want to miss it.
Wang Daoyuan replied: "Fourth brother, you also know my situation. It is a waste of time to continue to stay at Yuquan Peak. It is better to go out to do things early, save more spiritual stones, and prepare for the next generation."
The great elder sat down at his seat and registered the two of them.
Wang Daoyuan reported that he was a first-level low-grade Talisman Master, and both the Great Elder and Wang Daocheng were startled.
The great elder asked: "What is the success rate of refining a first-level low-grade spiritual talisman?"
In order not to be in the limelight, Wang Daoyuan concealed a little bit of his strength and replied: "It has just reached 40%."
The great elder stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Yes, you have such accomplishments at a young age, and your talent for making talismans is considered to be top-notch.
However, you have just turned sixteen, which is still early than the age set by the family. Although the family does not explicitly prohibit children under the age of twenty from going out to work, there is no precedent for this matter. You went out to work early, but out of your own free will?"
"Back to the First Elder, the boy indeed voluntarily went out to do some work in advance."
"That's good. Since you are voluntary, the clan rules do not explicitly prohibit it, and the family is short of manpower, then let you go.
You are not yet twenty years old, and the monthly rule for underage children is two spiritual stones as usual. You go back and pack up, and follow your ninth brother to Qinglifang City in three days."
Wang Daoyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He finally took the first step to complete his small goal. He didn't have to worry about losing the spiritual valley.
He thanked the great elder and hurried back to the cave.
He didn't have anything to clean up, so he just threw some talisman paper, spiritual ink, and a low-quality talisman pen into the hut in the Lingzhu Space, and that was it.
Yulong Spring is located at the top of Yuquan Peak. It has abundant water and forms a half-acre pond around the spring.
The spring water flows out of the pond and flows in the mountains, which is called Yulong River. The stream is full of spiritual energy and is very suitable for irrigating the spiritual fields. Therefore, more than 80% of the Wang family's spiritual fields are on both sides of the Yulong River, and the tribe's caves are also on both sides of the stream, which is not suitable.
A place to open up a spiritual field.
The stream flows to the foot of the mountain and gathers several external streams to form a pool. The shape of the pool looks like a bow placed on the ground, so it is named Mian Gong Pool.
The pool water flows out in the southwest direction of Yuquan Peak. This is the Qingli River, and Qingli County is named after the Qingli River.
Wang Daoyuan and more than ten tribesmen followed Jiu Shugong down to Yuquan Peak and came to Mian Gong Pond.
At the southwest end of Mian Gong Lake is a ferry called Mian Gong Du. Because most of the Wang family's children are in the stage of Qi training and are not yet able to fly with weapons, most of them travel by spirit boat.
The spirit ship in front of us is ten feet long and three feet wide. It is made of low-grade spirit wood and is strong and durable. The spirit ship can completely rely on the power of water to travel down the river, or it can also be driven by spirit stones or the spiritual power of monks.
There are many rivers in Qingli County, and most of the families' nests are on the banks of the Qingli River and its tributaries. Bulk cargo transportation relies on spiritual boats. Yuquan Peak is at the source of the Qingli River, and the spiritual boats can travel down the river without consuming any spiritual stones.
.
Wang Chengzu, the ancestor of the Wang family, spent his whole life either killing monsters or on the way to kill monsters. His fighting skills can be said to be invincible at the same level, but he made no achievements in the cultivation of immortality and left no inheritance of the cultivation of immortality.
The Wang family's level of cultivation of immortality and various arts is not ranked high in the Qinglijiang area.
That is to say, due to the geographical advantage of being located in the upper reaches of the Qingli River, less spiritual stones are lost in transporting bulk items. The transportation of bulky goods such as stones, spiritual minerals, and spiritual wood has become the family's mainstay industry.
The water flow of the Qingli River is gentle, and relying solely on water power, it would probably take the spirit boat ten days and a half to travel from Yuquan Peak to Qinglifang City.
Wang Daoyuan and his party had no time to waste on the road before the store opened. They took turns using their spiritual power to drive the spirit boat. In just one and a half days, Qinglifang City was already in sight.
Qinglifang City was founded by Wang Chengzu.
Wang Chengzu made great achievements in the invasion of monsters, obtained a lot of resources, and established a family in Yuquan Peak. Before he was 200 years old, he broke through to the Jindan realm and became the only Jindan monk in Qingli County.
However, the Wang family has never been prosperous, and Wang Chengzu has no desire to expand.
This lack of prosperity does not refer to having few descendants. Wang Chengzu had more than 20 sons and more than ten daughters before he was 200 years old, but he did not have a monk. It was not until he was more than 300 years old that he had his first monk son——
Wang Zuxing.
At this point, the Wang family's luck exploded. Wang Chengzu gave birth to several monks' children, and the descendants of those mortal children also gave birth to many monks. In the past few decades, the Wang family quickly grew into a cultivation family with fifty or sixty monks.
In addition, thanks to the mortal children born to Wang Chengzu in his early years, the number of mortals in the Wang family has grown to nearly 10,000.
When there were more people in the family, it was natural to buy more properties to support the whole family. From then on, the Wang family began to expand rapidly. Wang Chengzu took the lead in establishing Qinglifang City where Qingxi merged into the Qingli River. This was because this was the territory of the Wang family.
, 50% of the store belongs to the Wang family.
Qinglifang City brought a large amount of spiritual stones to the Wang family, and the Wang family used Fang City as a base to expand to the lower reaches of the Qingli River. Over the past few decades, various forces in the Qingli River Basin either formed alliances with the Wang family or directly became vassals.
When the Wang family entered its heyday, Qingli County almost became a fiefdom of the Wang family, and was known as the "Qingli Wang Family".
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. More than 300 years ago, the demonic beasts in the Tianzhan Mountains rioted. The Zhao royal family resisted with all their strength. Although it finally subsided, the Zhao royal family also suffered heavy losses.
At this time, the three major sects took the opportunity to cause rebellion and overthrew the Zhao royal family. Wang Chengzu, as a guest minister of the Zhao family, was also involved and died in the battle.
Wang Chengzu showed great power in this battle. In conjunction with his spiritual beast, which is now the emblem of the Wang family - the dragon fish, he successively killed five golden elixir monks from Canyang Palace. After this battle, it turned out that his strength was the first among the three major sects.
The Setting Sun Palace became the last one.
After the war, the Zhao family was destroyed, and some members of the clan fled the Zhao State. Three major sects dominated the Zhao State and massacred the affiliated forces of the Zhao family, including the Wang family.
Fortunately, the one who took over the Qingli County of Zhao State was the Netherworld Sect, one of the three major sects. The Netherworld Sect and Canyang Palace had never dealt with each other. Wang Chengzu slapped Canyang Palace in the face, and the Netherworld Sect was very pleased with the Wang family.
In addition, Wang Chengzu was only a guest of the Zhao family, and had no marriage relationship. After the war, the Wang family asked someone to intercede, and the family was not exterminated. Moreover, the Netherworld Sect also prevented Can Yang Palace from seeking revenge from the Wang family.
However, the Wang family also suffered heavy losses. More than half of the monks in the family were lost. They also gave away a large number of mines, forest farms, and most of the shops in Qinglifang City. Only five stores were left. The Wang family became a subsidiary force of the Netherworld Sect.
