The strong woman with red armor and black armor who took Wang Shouye away was naturally not someone else, but Wang Shouye's fourth sister, Wang Luotong.
Wang Luotong is now twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but she looks only twenty-four or five years old.
Her temperament became more and more calm and charming, like a peach with fatal charm. But the trace of murderous aura she inadvertently revealed gave people the aura of a dangerous beast.
Today, she is completely different from the girl who stood in front of Wang Shouzhe, who was a little delicate, weak, and a little aggrieved.
"Fourth sister."
As soon as he returned to the room, Wang Shouye immediately bowed respectfully to Wang Luotong, then took out his treasured spiritual tea and began to make tea for his sister.
Although he is a direct lineage of the Wang family, his treatment in this alchemy workshop is no different from that of alchemists of the same level, and his room is also standard.
However, his room was very carefully decorated. A few simple furnishings and a few calligraphy and paintings created a warm atmosphere. It was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into it.
This also reflects Wang Shouye's character from the side, being patient, meticulous, able to endure hardships, and showing ingenuity in the smallest details.
This was also the reason why Wang Shouzhe singled him out among the many Wang family disciples to learn alchemy.
After brewing the tea smoothly, Wang Shouye held the teacup in both hands and presented it to his sister Wang Luotong: "Fourth sister, is it time to prepare for autumn and winter hunting this season? Why do you have time to see me today?"
Hunting in autumn and winter has always been a traditional hunting festival for the Xuanwu family.
Firstly, it can supplement spiritual food for the tribe, and secondly, it can also train the new generation of young people and remind them not to forget the hardships and achievements of their ancestors in pioneering wasteland.
Nowadays, many Xuanwu families, especially those in prosperous areas, have regarded autumn and winter hunting as pure festivals, and rarely go deep into the outside world to explore and hunt ferocious beasts, but the Wang family has always insisted on this
A tradition.
Wang Luotong has always been a loyal supporter of autumn and winter hunting. She actively participates in it every year, prepares carefully, and her performance has always been very good.
Therefore, Wang Shouye wondered why she came to him at this time.
"I have something important to do. I'm afraid I won't be able to go hunting in autumn and winter this time." Wang Luotong drank the spirit tea and still teased his seventh brother, "The two girls just now are pretty good-looking. Why don't we take them together?
, give our family more children."
Wang Shouye's face turned red, and he apologized with a wry smile: "Fourth sister, please stop teasing me. I just want to make a good pill and try to earn back the money the family has lost as soon as possible. They spend the whole day
I am already very troubled by my mischief in Danfang, which has caused other colleagues to have a lot of objections to me."
"You~ don't be so burdened mentally." Wang Luotong comforted with a smile, "Any family that wants to cultivate an excellent alchemist will inevitably invest a large amount of money in the early stage. You and those alchemists who signed a contract to enter the alchemy workshop
Different, your task is to master the second-level elixir as quickly as possible, and even the third-level elixir, and the fourth-level elixir in the future. When you refine the fifth-level 'Tianling Pill' one day, our family will be great."
"Fifth-level heavenly elixir!" Wang Shouye's face collapsed and he smiled bitterly, "Fourth sister, I am even more stressed now. My master Ning Chao, ancestor, has been immersed in alchemy for a lifetime before he can refine the third-level elixir. , and it’s only a slight profit. With fifth-level elixirs, that’s impossible. I keep losing money, which makes me feel uncomfortable.”
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Wang Luotong sipped the spirit tea, her eyes full of smiles, "You are only twenty years old and you have to start refining the second-level elixir. You will only lose more in the future. When you have lost seven After eighty thousand dry gold, you can probably start refining third-level elixirs. If you lose hundreds of thousands of dry gold, you can refine fourth-level elixirs. The family will always be your firm support!"
“%￥*&#…”
Wang Shouye's eyes turned white, he looked up to the sky and groaned, my name is Wang Shouye, why do I look like Wang Shouye now! The more he was comforted by the fourth sister, the pressure in his heart became more and more intense.
"Fourth sister, I can make money by refining the first-level Xiao Pei Yuan Dan." Wang Shouye said weakly, "After this batch, I can earn ten dry gold. And my proficiency will become higher and higher. In the next batch I will definitely earn twenty or thirty gold. I want to rely on refining Xiao Pei Yuan Dan to supplement my family's consumption."
"For a furnace of ten thousand gold, you need to waste two days." Wang Luotong shook his head and said, "In this way, you have to work hard for a month or two before you have a chance to refine the second-level elixir, and it will take decades to become a A qualified second-level alchemy master. What your fourth brother wants is for you to start trying to refine third-level elixirs as soon as possible in ten years."
A furnace of second-level elixirs often consumes two to three hundred gold. If it is wasted, all the money will be lost.
Especially in the early stage, the probability of a full furnace being refining to waste is not small.
As the level and proficiency increase, one or two second-level elixirs can be slowly produced, which can slow down the loss.
However, if you can become a mature second-level alchemist, you can earn at least dozens of gold by opening a furnace of pills. If you are lucky, you can even earn one or two hundred gold.
At that time, if Wang Shouye concentrated on refining the second-level elixir, he would be a money-making machine. It would only take seven or eight years at most to make up for all the previous losses.
At that time, Wang Shouye was only about forty years old.
But it is very obvious that this kind of achievement is not what Wang Shouzhe wants. He does not need Wang Shouye to make money at all. He only needs him to burn money and accelerate to become a third-level or even fourth-level alchemist.
"Then I can only refine first-level elixirs occasionally to maintain the feel." Wang Shouye knew that the fourth brother was very worried, so he said helplessly, "Fortunately, I have refined too many high-level elixirs, so I can't deal with low-level elixirs." The understanding of elixirs will also increase."
"You can't relax in your cultivation. You should train your stove boys well. They can keep an eye on the fire on weekdays." Wang Luotong warned, "Your fourth brother trained you as a human being. It's not easy to train an alchemist." It’s easy, naturally the longer you want to live, the better.”
As a result, Wang Shouye's pressure became even greater.
However, he also understood the fourth brother's thoughts. He trained him as an alchemist regardless of the cost. The goal was to be at least a fourth-level alchemist, and possibly even a fifth-level alchemist. In that case, he must be expected to follow the path of heaven.
Otherwise, after finally becoming a qualified fourth-level alchemist, but before he could contribute to the family, he would run out of life and die of old age. Wouldn't that be a big joke?
"I will definitely work hard and live up to Fourth Brother's expectations of me." Wang Shouye said solemnly, and then he changed the subject to Wang Luotong, "Fourth Sister, what about you? Over the years, you have never had a favorite.
Object?"
"No." Wang Luotong said simply. Then he glanced at Wang Shouye and said with a smile, "I can't help it. It's all because the men in the family are so good. Your fourth brother won't talk about him anymore.
Take you, Shou Ye, for example, at the age of twenty you are already in the middle of the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm, a mature first-level alchemist, and you are so handsome, handsome and elegant."
"Looking at the entire Changning Guard, even the direct descendants of those aristocratic families, who can compare with you? How can the fourth sister look down on those crooked melons and cracked jujubes? Alas, the elder brother and the younger brother are too good, and it is also heavy
The burden~"
"Uh..." Wang Shouye shook his head helplessly, "Then fourth sister, are you not planning to get married?"
"It depends on the situation." Wang Luotong smiled calmly and generously, "Anyway, I want to enter the Lingtai realm, otherwise I will never be willing to accept it for the rest of my life. At worst, I can choose a suitable wife from among the casual cultivators. This can also add some blood to the family.
"
"That's right, Fourth Sister, you are so outstanding, I'm afraid it's really hard for ordinary disciples to like you. But I believe that there will definitely be a fate that belongs to Fourth Sister." Wang Shouye changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this for now.
It's over. This time, the fourth sister came to Chang Ning Wei, but there is something important? Is there anything you need help from Shouye? "
"Your fourth brother sent me to Qianma Town to take over the fixed assets of the Huangfu family. I was passing by Changningwei, so I stopped by to see you and encourage you." Wang Luotong smiled and said, "Don't worry, this time Xiaohan
Ancestor will be there to take charge, and I, Shouyong, and Zongwei will go over and take charge."
Get started.
That is naturally Wang Luotong’s modest statement.
In fact, as an ancestor, Patriarch Xiaohan would not be able to do everything himself. The real management still had to rely on juniors such as Wang Luotong, Wang Shouyong, and Wang Zongwei.
As for the younger generation of the family, as long as they are determined to grow up, Wang Shouzhe has always spared no effort in training them. He also has very high requirements and needs them to be fully trained and able to stand alone.
This is also something that can't be helped.
The family is developing too fast and there are not many people in the family. Naturally, Wang Shouzhe has high demands on the younger generation.
Under high standards and strict requirements, the results are gratifying. Now, the younger generation of the Wang family have all experienced and practiced, and have begun to have the ability to stand on their own.
This time is the time to test the abilities of Wang Luotong, Wang Shouyong, and Wang Zongwei.
Just talking.
Suddenly the voices of two girls came from outside the house: "Is Shouye here?"
"Come again..."
Wang Shouye slapped his forehead and was quite speechless.
He just wanted to refine an elixir quietly, why was it so difficult?
In desperation, he walked out of the room, bowed his hands to the two girls, and was about to send them away with a few perfunctory words.
Suddenly.
Outside the door, a group of young people in colorful clothes rushed in with a roar.
The leader is a young man in his twenties.
He was wearing a luxurious Xuanwu costume, a jade crown on his head, and a sword hanging from his waist, and he looked majestic.
When he saw Wang Shouye, Lei Yanyun, and Huangfu Qianqian standing together, his face suddenly darkened.
"Brother, why are you here?" Lei Yanyun's pretty face changed.
The man whom she called "brother" had a stern expression on his face: "Lei Yanyun, you still know that I am your brother? As a direct descendant of the Lei clan, you are so disrespectful of your status that you are embarrassed here."
"Brother, why am I so embarrassed?" Lei Yanyun's pretty face turned pale, and she retorted in an aggrieved voice, "I have a man I like, so what's wrong with me? Even my father didn't talk about me."
Wang Shouye recognized that this man in rich clothes was Lei Bowu, the second son of Lei family, the current emperor.
In Changning Guard, Lei Bowu was one of the top dandy boys, with a great reputation that almost no one dared to offend.
Wang Shouye and he had never had anything in common.
"Lei Yanyun, what nonsense are you talking about?" Upon hearing that Lei Yanyun dared to refute, Lei Bowu became furious, "The family does not raise you to support you so that you can act so recklessly. Don't you know?
?The Zhang family from Anyuanwei’s heavenly family has come to our house to propose marriage.”
"Anyuan Celestial Being Zhang!?"
Lei Yanyun's delicate body trembled.
Anyuanwei is an acropolis to the north of Changningwei.
Once upon a time, when Changningwei was still a wild and foreign land, Anyuanwei was the border of Daqian, which is also the origin of the name of that city.
Compared to Changning Guard, Anyuan Guard has a much longer history, and the Tianren Zhang family is also an old Tianren family with a profound foundation.
She and Lei Bowu's great-grandmother Zhang are the direct descendants of the Zhang family in Anyuan. As expected, her father will most likely agree to this marriage proposal.
Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly showed a look of determination: "I'm just here to propose marriage, and my father hasn't agreed yet. I'm going to go find my father right away. It doesn't matter whether he is the Zhang family of Tianren or some other family of Tianren, I don't want to
marry."
After saying that, she looked anxious and wanted to go out.
"Insolent! Stop right there." Lei Bowu was furious, "Don't you just like that boy Wang Shouye? Let's not talk about Ping An. The Wang family is just an eighth-grade family. This boy is not even a direct descendant, how can he deserve it?
Fuck you?"
"I don't allow you to talk about Shouye like that!" Lei Yanyun was so angry that she stomped her feet, "Shouye is much better than you think."
"Excellent?" Lei Bowu sneered, "Since you say he is excellent, then I will give it a try."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Shouye with an unkind expression, and with a "clang" sound, he pulled out his long sword and pointed it at him.
"Young pretty boy, pull out your sword and let me weigh you to see how capable you are."
Wang Shouye was speechless for a moment.
He just wants to make a pill in peace and quiet, why is it so difficult?
He was about to refuse.
Unexpectedly.
Lei Yanyun jumped directly in front of him, opening her arms like a hen protecting her chicks: "Brother, you are six or seven years older than Shu Ye, and you have already reached the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm. You, you are bullying me.
people!"
"Hmph! Didn't you say he was excellent?" Lei Bowu sneered again and again, "Why, don't you even have the courage to fight me? He's just a silver pewter spearhead, looking good but useless, coaxing you ignorant people.
Just a girl."
With that said, he pointed the finger at Wang Shouye again: "Wang Shouye, you'd better go back to Ping'an Town as soon as possible, otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you. What, you are not convinced? If you are not convinced, you can go back to your brother.
Wang Shouzhe..."
"Shut up!"
Wang Shouye was also angry.
Lei Bowu said he could, but not his fourth brother!
He stretched out his hand and pushed away Lei Yanyun in front of him, with a serious expression and a sharp look in his eyes: "Lei Bowu, how dare you call my fourth brother by his first name? Don't you just want to learn from each other? I will help you.
!”
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to draw his sword.
But before his hand could touch the hilt of the sword, it was pinched by a jade hand.
At the same time, a lazy and charming voice also sounded in his ears: "Shou Ye, you are an alchemist, there is no need to fight with such a dandy and reckless man."
Fourth sister?
Wang Shouye was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Wang Luotong walking out from behind him unhurriedly.
She is dressed in red armor and black armor, and her heroic appearance is also somewhat ferocious and wild. Her aura is much stronger than that of Wang Shouye.
She looked Lei Bowu up and down with a pair of phoenix eyes, and snorted softly: "You don't even look like a human being, and you dare to yell at my brother? You and I are about the same age, since you must ask for permission.
Fight, I can reluctantly give you a good beating."
Lei Bowu's face froze slightly: "Who are you?"
"Ping'an Wang, the fourth daughter of the 'Luo' generation, Wang Luotong." Wang Luotong casually grabbed the hilt of the sword and laid it with the scabbard in front of him. He said in a lazy voice, "Please enlighten me."
Her posture seems a bit careless, but her body seems to be loose and tight. This is the ability she has developed through many years of hunting ferocious beasts. She is like a female leopard ready to attack, and can give her opponent a fatal blow anytime, anywhere.
hit.
"Okay, okay! What a daughter of the Wang family, she dares to scream with the legitimate son of my Tianren family." Lei Bowu laughed angrily, his eyes suddenly turned sharp.
Although he is a dandy, he is the legitimate second son of the Heavenly Man Lei family after all, and his inner pride cannot be trampled upon by anyone.
He shook his long sword and pointed it at Wang Luotong: "Lei Shi of Changning, the seventh son of the 'Bo' generation, Lei Bowu, please enlighten me!"
