Chapter 23 The Young Patriarch of the Gongsun Clan
…
Qiling Pill can improve one's qualifications. It is said that it was specially developed by a certain alchemy master to improve human's cultivation qualifications.
The alchemy master spent his whole life developing the [Ling Qi Pill], but the result was quite disappointing, because the Qi Ling Pill only slightly improved those with low-level Xuanwu qualifications.
Moreover, it can only slightly improve Xuanwu qualifications, which is not very obvious.
But even so, Qiling Pill is already a very high-level "god-level pill" for a ninth-grade family like the Ping'an Wang Family.
Especially for Wang Shouzhe, who has low-level Xuanwu qualifications, it is extremely practical. They say he is a young genius, only half as good as the ancestor of Longyan back then, and he carries the future of the family.
hope.
However, Wang Shouzhe himself knew very well that his qualifications were considered good within the scope of Changning Guard, and he was quite promising to attack the Lingtai realm in the future. However, if you look at the entire Longzuo County, it is not worth mentioning at all. The comprehensive conditions are just enough.
After meeting the enrollment requirements of Zifu Academy, whether they accept it or not depends on subsequent tests.
Fortunately, Wang Shouzhe is considered to be a top-notch existence even among the lower-grade first-class qualifications, and is only one step away from the middle-grade qualifications. If he has the opportunity to take the [Qiling Pill], he will be able to make further progress and become one of the middle-grade qualifications.
It's completely different when it comes to quality qualifications.
The ancestor of Longyan, Wang Longyan, has the mid-level qualifications of the Eight Classics.
Among the hundreds of thousands of people in Changning Guard, the probability of someone with mid-level qualifications appearing is very low. Once one appears, even the Zifu Academy will actively strive for it, and will focus on training as soon as they enter the palace.
It's just that the Qiling Pill is a third-level elixir, and its output is very rare. Even when Patriarch Zhou Xuan was still alive, there was no guarantee that he would be able to get the Ling Pill.
Seeing the uncertainty in Wang Shouzhe's eyes, Wang Luojing on the side said obediently: "Fourth brother, I will definitely work hard to get you the Qiling Pill."
"Luo Jing, please don't be too spoiled by your fourth brother." Gongsun Hui smiled and touched her head, "If you can work with this amethyst bee, you can work on it. If you can't work on it, it doesn't matter."
It is not an easy task to cultivate a bee colony from the pupae of some amethyst spirit bees. If you fail, just accumulate experience and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Auntie is right." Wang Shouzhe also said hastily, "Luo Jing, I bought this hive for you to play with. It doesn't matter if it is used up. The accumulation of experience as a spiritual insect master does not happen overnight."
Wang Luojing is only twelve years old. She would still be a sixth-grade primary school student on earth. Wang Shouzhe doesn't want to put too much pressure on her.
"Fifth Aunt, Fourth Brother, I understand." Wang Luojing responded obediently, then held the amethyst spirit bee hive and slowly pondered it at the side. Her eyes were extremely focused and obsessed, as if she had obtained the final prize.
Beloved toy.
Only then did Wang Shouzhe remember that his fifth sister seemed different from ordinary people. She was naturally obsessed with insects. Even her brother Wang Shounuo said that Luo Jing was squatting in the yard watching ants when she was two or three years old.
You can watch it for days and nights.
That's all, let her do the trouble.
Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui also wisely kept their mouths shut and tried not to disturb her as much as possible.
The carriage traveled along the official road without any bumps, especially after entering Shanyang Town, the journey was smooth.
The Gongsun family of Shanyang has been operating on this territory for more than two hundred years and has long been deeply rooted. Because they own some special industries and have high requirements for roads, they spend a lot of money on roads every year.
The carriage is driving on a flat, hard road. When you open the curtain of the carriage, you can see clearly the mountains with high arched backs in the distance.
It is the remnant of Liuping Mountain. It bypasses the outside of Ping'an Town and pierces Anjiang. It is the last high-rise remnant of the mountain.
It's just that this section of the remaining veins rises like the back of a giant dragon, and the terrain is more steep and precipitous than the rest of the remaining veins of Liuping Mountain, so it is called Dragon's Back Mountain.
The northwest side of Longji Mountain is called Shanyin, while the southeast side is called Shanyang.
In Shanyang, the Gongsun family dominates, while in Shanyin, the Liu family dominates.
The reason why Wang Shouzhe and others entered the Shanyang area from the official road in Jiangbei through Changning Ferry was because they deliberately avoided the waters of Shanyingjian, because it was the waters of the Zhao family, another big family in Ping'an Town.
Not more than half an hour after arriving at Shanyang territory, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, and several knights quickly came up along the road to meet him.
One of the knights was none other than Wang An, one of the generals of the Wang family. Wang An was the envoy who was sent to Shanyang Gongsun to inform them of their trip.
In front of Wang Shouzhe's carriage, two generals, Wang Wu and Wang Yong, rode forward, keeping a certain distance between the other knight and the carriage.
This is the duty of guarding the general, even if there are one of his own among the other party's knights.
"Wang Yong, report to the master of the family quickly." Wang An and other knights stopped, got off their horses, and said loudly, "The young patriarch of the Gongsun clan is here to greet the master of the family and Mrs. Gongsun."
The sound was so loud that Wang Shouzhe's carriage also heard it.
"It's my brother." Gongsun Hui, who has always been dignified and virtuous, suddenly showed the joy of a little girl. But when she thought that there were two juniors, Wang Shouzhe and Wang Luojing, in the carriage, she quickly acted like her elders.
Feng Fang said seriously, "Zhe'er, Luo Jing. According to etiquette, let's get out of the car and meet my uncle."
It was extremely rare for Wang Shouzhe to see his aunt acting like a child, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart. Only then did he realize that although his aunt was usually serious and dignified, she was only nineteen years old when she married Wang Dingyue as a second wife, and gave birth to a child when she was twenty-two.
Sister Luo Miao is only eight years old, so her actual age is only thirty.
If we look at big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou on earth, there are many unmarried women in their thirties, and they usually call themselves girls.
No gossip.
The two of them followed Gongsun Hui out of the car, and at this time, the young patriarch of the Gongsun clan also led two generals to greet them.
Gongsun Qiang, the current eldest son of the Gongsun family. He has a white face and a beardless appearance, and is quite handsome. He is even more handsome and upright in his strong clothes. However, Wang Shouzhe knew that this young patriarch, "uncle", was already thirty-eight years old and had even higher cultivation.
He has reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm.
"Little sister." Gongsun Qiang stepped forward quickly and said with a smile, "It's so hard for you to return to your parents' home without notifying your elder brother in advance so that he can go to Shanyang to pick you up."
Gongsun Hui was the youngest among several brothers and sisters, so he was the most favored in the family. Gongsun Qiang also loved Gongsun Hui very much.
"Brother." Gongsun Hui bowed his head and said with a dignified manner, "It is my duty as my little sister to come back to visit my father and brother. How can I trouble my brother to come and greet me in person? Zhe'er, I haven't met my uncle soon."
She secretly winked at Wang Shouzhe.
Wang Shouzhe understood and immediately bowed his hands and said, "Shouzhe has met my uncle."
Gongsun Qiang stared at Wang Shouzhe for a long time, and then he suppressed his words: "Shouzhe has grown up a lot. He is really a talented man, much better than your father."
Although he is Gongsun Hui's eldest brother, he does not have a good impression of Wang Shouzhe's father and is even quite hostile.
The reason was, of course, that his beloved little sister actually went to marry an older man than him, which made him very unhappy.
After that, he had several conflicts with Wang Dingyue due to their different personalities, so he simply never came to Wang's house.
This time Wang Dingyue died. As his wife and brother, he did not come to the house. Instead, he sent family elders and several direct clan members to help.
Hearing these words, Wang Shouzhe's face darkened. Although he was a time traveler, the memory of his previous life had been integrated with him, and he was also Wang Shouzhe.
This Gongsun Qiang's words were so inappropriate, how could he be left without any reaction?
"Brother, don't talk nonsense." Gongsun Hui looked annoyed and said angrily, "Apologise! Otherwise, I will return to the Wang family immediately."
"Uh! Well, my brother was wrong."
Gongsun Qiang hurriedly apologized with a smile, then raised his hands to Wang Shouzhe and said, "Uncle, I also apologize to you. I hope you won't be offended. Your father and I just don't get along in personality, but if you think about it carefully, your father's talent and achievements are all
They all far surpass me."
There is nothing wrong with what he said. At the age of forty, Wang Dingyue had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm and was qualified to have a glimpse of the Lingtai Realm.
But if Gongsun Qiang wants to reach that level, he still has to take his time.
Even though Gongsun Qiang is already thirty-eight years old, the young patriarch is still just a young patriarch, and his emotions and anger are all on the surface.
However, he has a straightforward personality and is not a difficult person to deal with. This is Wang Shouzhe's secret evaluation of Gongsun Qiang...
