Chapter 30 The wind and clouds rise! Wealth and silk move people's hearts
…
the world is huge.
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 God-given opportunity for the Wang family, and they have the opportunity to fill the gap in the weapon refining field.
Next to the "magma pond", in the secret room that has been opened, there is a pile of scrapped weapon refining parts, and in the middle sits a weapon refining platform.
The weapon refining platform is a must-have tool for the weapon refiner. 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 is very convenient for smelting materials and calcining prototypes of spiritual weapons and magic weapons.
Next to 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 that it has 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 to practice fire Xuanwu techniques.
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)", and "Ye Tian Jue"
(Including the Qi Refining Chapter, the Lingtai Chapter, and the Heavenly Man Chapter), "The True Secret of Heavenly Fire (Purple Mansion Chapter)", and "The Complete Book of Ten Thousand Treasures" (three chapters containing thirty-five spiritual weapons, five magic weapons, three kinds of puppets, two
A summary of the refining formula and refining experience of a special spiritual treasure, a magic weapon with magical powers, and a basic cultivation 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 artifacts and artifacts collected by the Tianhuo Sect. Each type of artifact is carefully selected before being included in the collection. Compared with similar artifacts, they must be stronger in a certain aspect.
advantages and features.
Another thing is that Tian Yezi left behind 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.
That’s not to say that it’s completely impossible to move, but it’s extremely difficult. If you move the Tiangong box easily, it will cause turmoil in its internal space, which may cause all the items to scatter, or at worst, the important materials stored inside will be destroyed.
Moreover, it cannot be put into the 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 traveling.
Therefore, once the folding space inside most Tiangong boxes is unfolded, it will not be touched again.
What's more, 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, and there is nothing in it except those chapters of exercises.
Added together, these things are the entire legacy left by Tian Yezi.
Among them, "Ye Tian Jue", although it is only a middle-grade fire-based skill, is the 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 cannot be practiced 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 the match between Xuanwu monks and "Yetian Jue".
degree.
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.
Subsequently, the four people conducted tests one after another.
Sure enough, as Longyan Patriarch expected, although Wang Shouming practiced the "Red Dragon True Art" and was also a Xuanwu monk with the fire attribute, his matching degree with "Yetian Jue" was very average, and he could not open "Yetian Jue"
The refining box.
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 were successfully matched.
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 Tian Yezi took the initiative to set a relatively high threshold. After that, a group of young people from the Wang family took turns to 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 ask the generals to 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 "Yetian Jue"
.
Everyone was a little confused for a moment.
However, this was a good thing after all. Everyone soon stopped worrying and started to think about the reasons. Soon, all Wang Ping's information appeared in front of Liu Ruolan, Longyan Ancestor and others.
When this child was eight years old, he passed the Wang Spiritual Testing Platform test, and his initial qualification was low-grade C. He was neither good nor bad among the generals at home. His cultivation speed is neither fast nor slow, and he has just reached the middle level of the first level of Qi Refining Realm.
.
His academic performance in ethnic studies is only average.
As for his appearance, he is not handsome, and looks a bit naive. But such an ordinary child 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, so his identity can be said to be innocent.
In fact, this advantage is really not an advantage.
In Wang's current family general training system, a clear identity and origin is the first element.
Those who can become family generals are basically from the Wang family's collateral lineage, Wang's servants, Wang's tenants, or civilians under their jurisdiction. Their ancestors can be traced to at least three generations...
Wang Ping's inexplicable passing made Wang Shouming and others unconvinced.
Is it possible that this inconspicuous family general Miaozi 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 away.
This was the first time for him to meet Liu Ruolan, the "high-ranking" wife of the Wang family, and the legendary ancestor Longyan. He was so nervous that he was trembling, his legs were swinging, and he lowered his head without daring to say a word.
.
Moreover, the young masters and young ladies in the family all looked at him with unkind eyes, 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 Wang family's generals 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.
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, there must be something unique about you. Think carefully and see if there is anything different about you that is different from others." Liu Ruolan asked casually, "It doesn't matter if you can't remember it.
, 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.
There was a "buzzing" sound of swords in the air, and a sword light struck him like lightning. Its speed was so fast that even a high-level Qi Refining Realm person could not 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-engaged into the scabbard on Wang Longyan's waist.
Everything happens between lightning and flint.
"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 bit dull, which made them feel unwilling to accept it, it was not his fault. They had been educated in the Wang clan's style since they were young, and their three views were relatively positive. They did not want to watch something happen to Wang Ping...
"Don't worry, you guys." 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 he
His instinctive reaction is extremely quick, and he has already condensed a trace of spiritual consciousness. No wonder, he, who is mediocre in other aspects, can pass the test of senior Tian Yezi."
A glimmer 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 condense a trace of spiritual consciousness. However, after all, the Qi Refining Realm is not a realm specifically designed to strengthen spiritual consciousness. Therefore, the spiritual consciousness of most Qi Refining Realm monks is not very 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 should be relatively high. As for refining weapons, it often requires higher spiritual consciousness to feel the changes in temperature and control it.
The shape of objects, etc.
This is not to say that those who do not have strong 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".
"That being the case, Wang Ping, you still have to go to school if you should. You just have to separate your training and chores to learn the "Yellow Heaven Art" and accept the inheritance of weapon refining." Liu Ruolan said firmly, "In addition, Zong Yao
You are practicing Wang's "Xuan Yuan Jue". There is no problem in spending some time to switch to "Ye Tian Jue". Senior Tian Yezi also has no rules, only one person can accept the inheritance. And you are older and have a mature and stable personality.
, you 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, he was not a child after all, so he could still suppress his excitement, 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 "Ye Tian Jue". Now it seems that Tian Yezi has a somewhat paranoid personality and has set a series of conditions on the refining box.
That's all.
In terms of pure potential, she believed Zong Yao was far superior to Wang Ping.
Moreover, the family's inheritance of weapon refining does not happen overnight. Only by passing it on from one generation to two or three generations can the Wang family's heritage in the art of weapon refining become more and more profound.
The matter has been settled for now.
Since "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, setting up sentries, and arranging
Patrol and garrison strength...and other specific tasks will also be gradually arranged.
In just a few decades, Qinglian Fire Valley will become a treasured 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 trace of the 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 been lit. The lavender curtains made of spiritual silk hang on both sides of the room, and they seem to be coated with a layer of light under the light, making it appear
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".
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 and looked kind-hearted.
, but his brows were all furrowed, and there was an inexplicable anxiety in the atmosphere.
And 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 seal on the envelope is not yours.
It's the master's seal. How could the master bypass you and give us orders directly? What on earth is that Qian Xuerui doing?"
He was one of Qian Xue'an's confidants, and when he was suddenly summoned to a meeting, he felt uncertain.
"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 didn't know what to do.
These days, on the one hand, he tried every means to appease and win over people's hearts and tied his men to the same boat with him. On the other hand, he also sent people to keep an eye on Qian Xuerui.
But after Qian Xuerui settled in, he was supposed to eat, drink, and go shopping, as if he were here for a trip, leaving him elusive and not sure what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd.
While talking.
Suddenly, a servant boy's voice came from outside the door: "Master Rui is here."
As soon as the words fell, the room suddenly became silent.
Generally speaking, only the direct descendants of aristocratic families above the Zi Mansion, and those with relatively 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 looked towards the door unconsciously.
In the dusk, I saw a figure walking slowly, surrounded by servants and servants.
He 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 in his slightly narrowed eyes, but it is also hidden by the drooping eyelids. Most of it is so easy to see through.
The setting sun was like blood, coating his body with a layer of dim brilliance. Even the dark blue brocade clothes were smudged by this luster, giving off 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 someone to change the tea.
"Master Rui, please take a seat."
As a child of an aristocratic family, he had been taught strict etiquette since he was a child. No matter what he was thinking, he could not find a single fault in his superficial etiquette before he completely broke up with him. It can be said that he had perfected his superficial skills. into ten.
Unexpectedly, Qian Xuerui did not answer his question, but waved his hand with a smile: "The boss is my brother. How dare Xuerui sit in front of my brother? I just stand and talk."
Since Qian Xuerui refused to sit down, 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 did not expect that he would not even bother to do anything superficial. These words seemed polite, but in fact they were insulting him in public, and it was obvious that he was not prepared to give him any face.
Qian Xuer'an's face was slightly gloomy. He could see 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 an indifferent expression: "Mr. Rui, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Qian Xuerui sneered: "I, the Qian family, have been cooperating with the Changning Wang family in-law group for more than 20 years. In terms of strength, connections, and channels, I, the Qian family, have an absolutely dominant position, but the profits are far greater than those of the Wang family and others. Taking the majority and feeding the Wang family from the ninth grade to the seventh grade, my brother has nothing to explain?"
As soon as these words came out, 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 has many talents in this generation and is highly regarded in the academy. In fact, On the contrary, the cooperation between our Qian family and the Wang family in Changning has given us an advantage."
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 Academy. Is the relationship between the Qian family and the Academy not so good? The Qian family has already cooperated with the Academy. For thousands of years, in terms of close relationship, can the Changning Wang family be better than my Qian family? As for who takes advantage, huh, if it were not for the cooperation with my Qian family, the Changning Wang family would still want to sell goods to every corner of Longzuo Can’t do it?”
"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 the 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 justified?!"
"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 wanted to refute, but Qian Xuerui directly raised the issue to the level of the family. 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? Even if you are a direct descendant, so what? You have no power or no power. What qualifications do you have to judge me and interrogate me?"
Qian Xuerui seemed to have expected that he would say this. He took out something from the storage ring with his backhand and showed it: "Brother Xue'an, what do you think this is?"
The light of the fluorescent stone lamp was bright and soft, clearly reflecting the appearance of the object in his hand. It was a token carved from thousand-year-old oak wood, with inscriptions surrounding the edge and the word "order" in the center.
"Family Head's Order?!"
Everyone present looked horrified and 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 head of the Qian family in the Zi Mansion, which can be used to perform some of the family head's powers.
Theoretically speaking, with the Patriarch's Order in hand, the decision can be made with one word. Without any special reason, the Elders Council will not deny the Patriarch this face.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Qian Xuerui was satisfied, nodded slightly and said: "Before I came here, the head of the family gave me this and told me to act cheaply. Now, I am removing the boss Qian Xuer'an on the grounds that I am not taking into account the interests of the family." Guys. 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. Ping Rui has made the decision."
Seeing this, Qian Xue'an knew that the situation was over, and it was useless to continue struggling.
"Mr. 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, Xue'an will not stay to hinder Rui. The young master is offended, so I will leave now."
After saying that, he handed over to Qian Xuerui, turned around and retreated.
Before leaving, he felt sad, angry, and regretful in his heart. He and Wang Shouzhe had known each other for many years and had a deep affection for each other. He naturally knew that Brother Shouzhe was very moral and loyal, but he was not a good person if he annoyed him. The Lord who is willing to suffer losses.
I wonder what happened to the head of the family, who has always been quite famous, this time? He actually let this young boy Qian Xuerui come to mess around and pick the peaches of his Qian Xuerui.
What a stupid move!
This time, the Qian family may be in big trouble. Qian Xuerui, Qian Xuerui, you may really be in trouble this time.
But no matter what, now that the Qian family has taken over the Wang family business, the net income has suddenly increased significantly. Sooner or later, there will be people who are greedy for this piece of fat.
If Qian Xuerui doesn't come today, someone more ruthless might come tomorrow.
Only when brother Shouzhe beats you hard will you know who is the one who took advantage. Only then will you understand the true ability of me, Qian Xue'an.
After thinking about this, Qian Xue'an became calmer inside.
