"Hello, Miss Ji." Wang Anye also stood up and returned the greeting gracefully, "Wang Anye, the Chang Ning family of Xiadong Qian Kingdom, met Miss Ji."
This is not the first time Wang Anye has been accosted since he came to Immortal Dynasty.
It is also a trouble for a person to be too handsome.
However, as the saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face. When someone strikes up a conversation in a polite and courteous manner, you still have to respond. After all, when you are away from home, it is better to have one more network than one more enemy.
It is also very important for children of aristocratic families to travel around the world and expand their knowledge and connections.
Dongqian Changning Wang family?
Ji Qianqian thought for a moment, and naturally she had never heard of this name.
In fact, she had only heard of Donggan Country. As for the famous families in Donggan Country, she almost didn't know anything about it, let alone the fact that Donggan had the suffix Changning when he raised his head.
"It turns out to be Mr. An Ye." Ji Qianqian was not disappointed when she saw that he was from an unknown family. Instead, she replied in a well-educated manner, "Speaking of which, this is the first time I have met a friend of Dongqian Kingdom. Mr. If you come to Chaoyang Prefecture, I can give you some advice. By the way, in addition to being a disciple of the Immortal Palace, I am also a disciple of the Chaoyang Ji family."
"Chaoyang Ji's family?" Wang Anye was slightly startled.
Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, he turned out to be a member of the master's lineage.
As a result, before Wang Anye had any other reaction, Ji Wuchen became excited: "Anye, hurry up, ask her which lineage of the Ji family she is? She looks very similar to my wife Fu Hongye. place."
Back then, Ji Wuchen's wife Fu Hongye was killed by Chao Qianbo in a sneak attack on the battlefield of immortals and demons. In order to avenge his deceased wife, Ji Wuchen went to the Demon Dynasty to assassinate her enemy. Although she succeeded by luck, she died and became a sword spirit.
But he still has descendants in the Immortal Dynasty, which both he and Anye know very well.
"Master, don't be anxious. How can you find out who your ancestor is when you come up?"
Wang Anye comforted Ji Wuchen, and then smiled warmly at Ji Qianqian and said, "If Miss Qianqian doesn't mind, why don't you sit down and have a chat? I happen to want to learn about the customs and customs of Chaoyang Prefecture from Miss Qianqian."
After Ji Qianqian agreed with a slight blush.
Wang Anye then asked someone to remove the leftovers, put a new table of delicious food, and sat down to eat with Ji Qianqian.
After some small talk, the two parties got acquainted a lot.
Wang Anye mentioned inadvertently: "When I was in Dongqian before, I had the honor to look at the "Afterglow of the Divine Dynasty" by Master Ji. This painting is magnificent and has a sense of doomsday desolation of the fall of a generation of divine dynasties. It is really It’s a masterpiece. When I travel to Chaoyang Prefecture, I want to visit Master Ji’s former residence.”
"Picture of the afterglow of the Divine Dynasty?" Ji Qianqian's expression suddenly became extremely complicated, and she opened her mouth as if she was hesitant to speak.
"Miss Qianqian was born in the Ji family, is she a descendant of Master Ji?" Wang Anye asked pretending to be casual.
"This... Mr. An Ye is telling the truth." Ji Qianqian bit her lip lightly, and couldn't help but look gloomy when talking about this matter, "The Master Ji you mentioned is indeed the ancestor. It's just that "The Afterglow of the Divine Dynasty"... Alas, Those are ancestral treasures, and as descendants, we should keep them safe, but our Ji family has fallen into decline, and in order to cultivate outstanding children in the family, we have to sell many ancestral treasures, which is really shameful to say."
"Ah, sorry, sorry, it's Wang Menglang." Wang Anye apologized with his hands in hand.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter~" Ji Qianqian waved her hands, but her eyes became firm, "A large family is like the tide of the ocean. It rises and falls naturally. After Young Master said it, at least Qianqian knew where the treasures of our ancestors were. Dungan Country, when I earn enough money in the future, I want to go to Dungan to redeem the ancestral treasure at a high price."
"Forehead……"
Wang Anye's eyes were tangled. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should tell her that the picture of her family was actually...
"This girl does have some of my style back then." Ji Wuchen didn't care about this. He was still immersed in the excitement of seeing his descendant. He was also quite satisfied with Ji Qianqian's performance and excitedly dispatched his treasure. Disciple, "An Ye, please chat with her more."
"Yes, Master."
Master finally met his descendant again, Wang Anye naturally would not refuse this request.
However, to avoid misunderstanding, he specifically pointed out the fact that he already has two loving wives and even grandchildren during the chat.
Ji Qianqian also didn't expect the Donggan people to get married so early.
In the Immortal Dynasty, those with low qualifications are ignored. Those geniuses with higher qualifications and potential often do not get married easily. Even if they do get married, they will choose from thousands of choices. There are many people who are still unmarried when they are two or three hundred years old.
Moreover, the more outstanding a genius is, the later he or she gets married.
Especially among the princesses of the Immortal Dynasty, there are many who have not yet gotten married when they reach the magical realm.
After all, the higher the qualifications, the faster the cultivation speed. The qualifications of the princesses of the Immortal Dynasty are all peerless geniuses, and they will basically become heavenly beings before they are thirty. After reaching the heavenly realm, the pregnancy rate will plummet. In fact, it doesn't make much difference whether you get married a few years later or a few years later. Most princesses simply spend more time choosing and find a consort who is more suitable to their own liking.
And disciples of the Immortal Palace like Ji Qianqian have already broken through to the seventh level of the Heavenly Realm at the age of 140 or 50. Among the many disciples of the Immortal Palace, they are still considered to be young girls in their prime.
After being slightly disappointed, Ji Qianqian calmed down her emotions and began to discuss kendo with Wang Anye.
Wang Anye is indeed extremely talented in swordsmanship. When he was still a young boy, he spent a stick of incense on the beach and realized the rudimentary sword intention of "The Infinite Sea".
What surprised Wang Anye was that Ji Qianqian was not weak in swordsmanship, and she was also a core disciple of the Immortal Palace's [Purple Void Holy Land].
Wang Anye knew that Zixu Holy Land was founded by Zixu Sword Lord, who was famous all over the world. This holy land specializes in swordsmanship, and all the disciples it recruits are disciples with talent in swordsmanship.
Under Ji Wuchen's "urge", Wang Anye kept asking about Ji Qianqian's experience in a circumstantial manner.
Ji Qianqian also had a good impression of Wang Anye and was not too defensive, but allowed Wang Anye to quickly learn about her past.
Over the years, the third-level Ji family has become increasingly declining. In this generation, just cultivating a magical species has already consumed too many of their resources, including the sale of the treasures left by their ancestors.
As a woman, Ji Qianqian has a good starting talent, but with limited support from her family, her qualifications can only reach the level of a second-level genius.
Such talents are certainly very good in the Donggan Kingdom, but they are not conspicuous in the Immortal Dynasty where monsters gather. Therefore, when she entered the Zixu Holy Land, she was just an elite disciple.
But she was not discouraged. After joining the Holy Land, with her own efforts and the excellent swordsmanship talent inherited from her ancestors, she gradually emerged and received key training. She even obtained an extremely precious seventh-grade holy pill [Tianmai]. Holy elixir].
With the help of this elixir, she successfully promoted her bloodline to the status of a great celestial being in the Heavenly Realm, and also successfully joined the ranks of the core disciples of the Purple Void Holy Land.
Don't underestimate the great talent.
Although the Changning Wang family has a lot of great geniuses and peerless talents, the Wang family itself is a special case. After all, the wedding blood Gu and the bloodline improving fluid are non-renewable resources. One is used less than the other, and there is no other force except the Wang family. Dare to use the Wedding Clothes Blood Gu as a regular resource.
In fact, even in the Immortal Dynasty, the Great Prodigy is considered to be the best among people. There is a high probability that he will achieve the realm of supernatural powers in the future, and he can already be called a big shot.
After all, quite a few of the second and third leaders in the state capital are still held by monks in the supernatural realm.
As for the Lingxu realm, how many Lingxu realms are there in the entire Immortal Dynasty? Which Lingxu realm is not a giant?
As the communication between the two deepened, the two gradually developed a feeling of sympathy for each other.
Whether in the Immortal Dynasty or Daqian, there were actually relatively few pure sword cultivators. Even sword masters like Patriarch Longyan and Liu Ruolan were not pure sword cultivators.
This situation will arise because, first, the number of relevant scriptures and true method inheritance is scarce, and it is easy for subsequent practice methods to be missing.
Although in most cases, the potential of a Xuanwu monk can be estimated at the beginning of practice, but who doesn't think that when they are young and frivolous, they will encounter opportunities, be promoted, and reach the pinnacle of life? ?
Therefore, when given the choice, there are always very few monks who would choose to do pure sword cultivation.
Second, pure swordsmanship requires too much understanding.
Even with the assistance of the inheritance land, the inheritance of sword cultivation is still a great test of understanding. There are some high-end sword cultivation methods that people with average understanding may not be able to enter at all. This threshold alone has stopped countless people.
Therefore, as a minority group, sword cultivators always pay special attention to their own kind.
At least half of the reason why Ji Qianqian had the courage to strike up a conversation with Wang Anye before was because she saw that he was a swordsman.
After the Yunray Flying Boat docked in Chaoyang Prefecture, Ji Qianqian took the opportunity to invite Wang Anye to visit Ji's family.
Wang Anye, who originally wanted to explore the situation, naturally agreed.
The Ji family is considered an established family in Chaoyang Prefecture.
In every county and guard in Chaoyang Prefecture, there are farms and private properties belonging to the Ji family. However, a large family business means a large consumption, and the descendants are not good at running the business. Over the years, the family will naturally gradually decline.
Today, the Ji family only has one ancestor in the magical power realm, struggling to support the face of a third-grade family, and even maintaining the inheritance of magical powers is already a bit reluctant.
Such a situation is far worse than that of the Wang family in Daqian during their lowest period.
However, after all, it is an old family that has been passed down for thousands of years. When the Ji family was at its peak, it once coveted the lintel of a first-class family. Even if it is now in decline, the foundation of the main house built in its heyday is still there. In terms of scale, it is still It is something that the newly promoted third-grade aristocratic families cannot achieve.
The towering walls surrounding the huge main house stretch all the way along the undulating plains, with no end as far as the eye can see. From a distance, it is really spectacular.
Once inside the wall, the densely packed buildings are even more densely packed, making it even more lively and prosperous.
According to Ji Qianqian, when the Ji family was at its peak, the main residence alone was as big as three or five towns combined. For convenience, the interior was divided into five districts: southeast, northwest, and central. However, there are A considerable part of the main house has been demolished and reclaimed as farmland. The scope of the fence has also been reduced and reduced. The scale of the main house is now less than 50% of what it was at that time.
But even so, it's still spectacular.
However, in the end, there was only a shelf left, which could not withstand closer inspection. Due to lack of repairs, a considerable part of the main building complex has become increasingly mottled, and even the huge walls seem to have not been repaired for some years.
Whether a family is prosperous or declining can sometimes be inferred by looking at its main residence.
In any aristocratic family, the main house is the most important thing.
If the family is rich, the family will definitely renovate the main house from time to time, or even expand the scope of the main house, and the repairs will be very careful and meticulous. Of course, the money spent will never be small, and all of this money must come from the family property.
But if the main house cannot even be repaired and looks dilapidated, it means that there is really no money, and even the basic facade can hardly be maintained.
Although Wang Anye doesn't care much about the family business, he has heard these tips from Wang Shouzhe. Just looking at the situation of the main house, it is clear that Ji's finances are really tight, and he can hardly maintain his face.
The arrival of Wang Anye and his entourage did not cause much waves.
Although Ji Qianqian successfully became a core disciple of the Immortal Palace's Purple Void Holy Land, her identity and status in the family greatly increased, but after all, she was just a junior, neither a direct lineage nor a main lineage, and her cultivation level was still in the realm of heavenly beings. .
Of course, the most important point is that Wang Anye's "background is too small".
Just imagine, a local aristocratic family in the Dongqian Kingdom can only reach the fourth or fifth rank. How can the Ji family take it seriously and treat it as a supreme guest?
That is to say, for Ji Qianqian's sake, after the family head met Wang Anye, he arranged a house for him and a junior responsible for entertaining him according to the family's etiquette.
Of course, the main reason why Wang Anye did not reveal his identity as "Ji Wuchen's personal disciple" when he first came up was because of the request of his master Ji Wuchen.
The old man wanted to observe the Ji family from a relatively low perspective and understand the real situation of the Ji family.
But it would be fine if he didn't observe it, but once he observed it, he was so angry that he was so angry.
It’s okay for the Ji family to be poor. After all, ebbs and flows are common. No one can guarantee that their family will always be prosperous. However, the morale of the Ji family is also quite low. Many young members of the family are just getting by.
, and few are truly motivated.
Many young people have little ability of their own and have fallen into the bad habit of idleness and hanging out with their friends.
"It's shameful, it's really shameful." Ji Wuchen was so angry that he complained, "What kind of virtue does everyone have from top to bottom? Except for a limited number of juniors who are a little bit decent, the rest of the tribe has long since
Without spirit, where is the true character of the Ji family? No wonder even the treasures passed down by our ancestors can be sold for nothing."
Wang Anye was also speechless for a while.
Previously, I thought that I would find a way to help Ji after I obtained the Sword Formation Dual Art Book, but I never thought that Ji would actually make herself look like this decadent.
Under such circumstances, even Wang Anye dared not say that he could help Ji's family get out of trouble.
After all, the development of an aristocratic family has never relied on one person or one resource. If you are not ambitious enough, no matter how much resources you throw at it, you will not be able to fill this bottomless hole.
As the saying goes, "Rescue the emergency but not the poor", it is not without reason that the Ji family has declined to this point.
After observing the situation of the Ji family, Wang Anye immediately told Ji Qianqian that he wanted to meet Ji Yuanxing, the ancestor of the Ji family. He did not wait any longer, prepared to have a direct showdown with the opponent, and then went to the Ji family's forbidden area to inherit the sword formation double treasure book.
"Since Mr. An Ye asked me to do so, Qianqian should be responsible for this." Although Ji Qianqian was a little embarrassed, she still agreed.
While I was talking, something unexpected happened.
A burst of hearty and majestic laughter was heard from the main entrance of the Ji family's house: "Where is the ancestor of Yuanxing? Yao came to visit, and I hope to take the time to meet you."
That sound seemed to contain a divine power from heaven. It rumbled in people's ears, making their hearts vibrate like drums, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
"Lingxu realm monk?"
Wang Anye's face condensed slightly.
Given Ji's current situation, it would be difficult for her to establish a relationship with a Lingxu Realm monk. What's more, this Lingxu Realm monk who calls himself "Yao" doesn't even inform him in advance.
He looked like he was about to intimidate others, which made it clear that he was coming with bad intentions.
And Wang Anye is obviously not the only one who realizes this.
For a moment, the entire Ji family fell into a dead silence, and even the sound of the wind whistling between heaven and earth became extremely clear.
More than ten breaths later, an old laugh came from the depths of the inner house and said: "It turns out that Prince Chaoyang has arrived. I'm sorry to hear you come from afar. Please forgive me."
At the same time as the words rang out, the figure of an old man with white beard and hair had already crossed the sky like a thunderbolt and landed at the front door, posing as a greeting.
The figure was dressed in a black sword-sleeved robe, with a slim figure and a rather celestial demeanor. He was Ji Yuanxing, the ancestor of the Ji family.
The other six or seven elders of the Ji clan in the Purple Mansion Realm who were in the main house also ran out of their respective retreats and hurriedly flew to the main entrance to greet him.
"Prince Chaoyang?" Wang Anye looked at the movement at the door from a distance and asked with some doubts, "Could it be that one?"
"That's right." Ji Qianqian's face was also solemn, "From what my ancestor said, this person must be Yao Yuangang, the husband of the famous Chaoyang King, Yao Zhenjun."
Wang Anye had little impression of Yao Yuangang, but the name "Chaoyang King" struck his ears like thunder.
This Chaoyang King was once a princess of the Immortal Dynasty, and was named "Princess of Chaoyang". Later, she was promoted to Lingxu Realm, and the princess title was automatically promoted to "King". She is one of the few strong people in the late Lingxu Realm in the Immortal Dynasty.
one.
When he was in the Wang family, he often heard Emperor Longchang mention the "Chaoyang King", saying that she was a famous female war goddess of the Immortal Dynasty. She once led the Immortal Dynasty army to kill foreigners on the battlefield with one shot and one shot.
The demon cries for father and mother, and is truly one of the pillars of humanity.
Such a talented and stunning person who shocked the whole world, even Emperor Longchang, Holy Master Jiang and the others would be respectful and respectful when they encountered him, and they would not dare to take a breath for a moment.
"Senior Yao was born in Hanyue Yipin Yao family. When he was young, he followed King Chaoyang who was Princess Chaoyang back then. Together they opened Princess Chaoyang Mansion and made great achievements together. Later, Senior Yao became the princess's consort." Ji Qianqian knew that Wang Anye was not an immortal.
The court official immediately told him the origin of Yao Chenggang.
"Because Princess Chaoyang was born at the wrong time, and the Immortal Emperor never had any accidents, so after she cultivated to the Lingxu realm, she was named Chaoyang King in accordance with the laws and conventions of the Immortal Dynasty, and Senior Yao naturally became
Prince Chaoyang."
Nowadays, there are only four princesses in the Immortal Dynasty, but in fact, since the Immortal Emperor came to the world, how could it be possible that there have only been four princesses? However, once the princess reaches the age and reaches the Lingxu realm, she will be promoted from princess to "female"
King", and also lost the qualification to inherit the throne of Immortal Emperor.
Those princesses who existed when the Immortal Emperor was young were more useful in preventing accidents. If anything happened to the Immortal Emperor, there would be no shortage of heirs.
"Why did Senior Yao come to Ji's family?" Ji Qianqian was very surprised. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, her face changed slightly and she said, "No, I'm afraid the news has been leaked."
After saying that, she quickly rushed towards the VIP room, and Wang Anye followed closely, walking side by side with her.
As soon as the two of them arrived in front of the VIP room, they heard a suppressed roar from the ancestor of the Ji family: "Prince Yao, how can you make such an exorbitant request?"
"Your Chaoyang Palace has two Lingxu realms, so your children can inherit one at will."
Even if he was extremely angry, the ancestor of the Ji family did not dare to curse.
"Old Ancestor Yuanxing, don't be angry. Our Chaoyang Palace does have two Lingxu Collections." Yao Yuangang said calmly, "But you also understand that Chaoyang's Collection is a public collection of the Immortal Dynasty royal family, and it is only the collection of the past dynasties.
A special manual that only princesses can practice."
"And this treasure book of mine originally belonged to the Yao family. Now that I am old, I should naturally return it to the Yao family. How can I keep it in the Chaoyang Palace?"
The ancestor of the Ji family has a dark face. They have combined your family's treasure book and each has another family. Are you going to steal my Ji family's treasure book?
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Yao Yuangang continued to persuade, "Original Yuanxing, you know exactly what your Ji family's situation is now. Instead of begging for food with a golden rice bowl, it is better to exchange for an astronomical amount of resources. You also know
, our Chaoyang family has never been stingy."
The ancestor of the Ji family took a few deep breaths and said angrily: "Prince Yao, I just want to ask, how did your Chaoyang Palace know that our family has a treasure book? No one else in our family knows about it except the core members."
"Haha, this, your little brother Ji Yanchang and our child Yu Tai'an are sworn friends, and I let it slip for a while."
"Ji Yanchang, you evil beast, you are so brave." The ancestor of the Ji family almost didn't get angry to death and roared on the spot.
"Old Ancestor, how much resources has our family spent on inheriting that damn Sword Formation Book from ancient times to the present?" A 'young man' also responded angrily, "Also, Ji Yanxiu and I are about the same age and have about the same qualifications.
Why can he take the 'Seventh Grade Tianmai Holy Pill' and be promoted to a great genius? But I, Ji Yanchang, can only be a genius forever?"
"You idiot, the family can only afford one great talent." The ancestor of the Ji family scolded angrily.
"I don't accept it. If I can become a great genius, maybe I can inherit the sword formation skills." The face of the young man named Ji Yanchang was a little distorted. "Why, why should I sacrifice for Ji Yanxiu? Why Ji Yanxiu?"
Qianqian also wants to sacrifice for him? She gave birth to that trash and failed!"
"Now the Chaoyang Palace will not take our treasure book in vain. They will give us huge compensation. Then the family will not be short of money and I can become a great genius."
"What an evil beast, what an evil beast." The ancestor of the Ji family looked up to the sky and sighed.
Wang Anye was also stunned when he heard that someone was betraying the family's interests and doing so so confidently...
But Ji's disaster is not over yet.
I heard another rumble of thunder from the door: "Ancestor Yuanxing, Mr. Wei is here to visit. Please take the time to meet me."
