Isn't it said that the Ping'an Wang Clan is just a small, declining family?

How can these young people be so talented?

Even the women are so extraordinary, with a dignified and elegant demeanor.

Is this not something that even the Longzuo's Wang Family cannot match?

Is he dreaming? Or has he had some kind of hallucination...

Wang Shouyue couldn't understand.

He only saw a graceful woman examining old seventh Wang Shouye, unable to help but giggle: "Who let my old seventh brother grow up to be so handsome? His reputation has already spread throughout Changning Guard. I've even heard that several aristocratic families have sent people to secretly propose to him."

In martial clans, there is a custom of proposing to a woman, but usually, it is the man who proposes to the woman. Only when a woman's family is very powerful and the woman herself is very talented will they propose to a man.

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Shouye was speechless, looking very troubled. He didn't want to get married, it was too troublesome.

At this time, Wang Zongsheng also quickly got off the horse and respectfully bowed to the woman: "Zongsheng pays respects to Fourth Aunt."

The woman examined Wang Zongsheng from head to toe, unable to help but criticize him: "You've only been gone for a few days, and your muscles have already grown so much stronger. I'll tell you, boys should be like your seventh uncle, elegant and refined, to be liked by girls. If you continue to be so rough, you'll never find a wife."

Wang Zongsheng smiled bitterly, what's the use of getting married?

He quickly changed the subject: "Fourth Aunt, are you going to hunt Ferocious Beasts? One arrow to kill, that's really impressive archery skills."

The woman's expression was proud, but also calm: "It's just a Fierce Bird that has just entered the second level. This thing is too stupid, it hasn't even suffered a loss. It dares to come to our Wang Clan to hunt, disturbing the common people, where is its way out?"

"Even if it's just a Fierce Bird that has just entered the second level, one arrow to kill is still very impressive." Wang Shouyue got off the horse and bowed, with Wang Xiaoyi following closely behind.

As soon as they saw an outsider, the woman immediately became reserved and dignified, bowing in response: "Who is this gentleman?"

"I am Wang Shouyue, a direct descendant of the Longzuo's Wang Family." Wang Shouyue spoke with an elegant tone, like a refined gentleman, "May I ask the lady's name?"

Longzuo's Wang Family? Is it a guardian generation?

The woman's face showed a hint of surprise, but she remained polite: "I am Wang Luotong, nice to meet you, Wang Shouyue."

"Wang Luotong, you are so extraordinary, I'm afraid you are a direct descendant of the Wang Clan?" Wang Shouyue asked with some doubt, "Are you a student of the Purple Palace Academy? Who is your master?"

It's no wonder he would think this way.

This woman called Wang Luotong, whether it's her demeanor or her cultivation, is truly extraordinary.

If she were a student of the academy, she should be able to compete for the position of Core Disciple.

Even compared to the Celestial Clan's carefully nurtured successors, she wouldn't be inferior.

She must be an outstanding student in the academy.

"Purple Palace Academy?" Wang Luotong laughed self-deprecatingly: "With my level, I wouldn't dare to go to the academy and embarrass myself. I'll just rely on my family to get by. And I'm not a direct descendant."

"What?"

This is impossible Wang Shouyue's face was full of surprise and doubt.

Such an outstanding woman, yet she's not a student of the academy?

And the most astonishing thing is, she's not a direct descendant.

It's not that indirect descendants can't produce outstanding women.

It's just that family resources are limited. Under the same conditions, they would prioritize cultivating direct descendants to ensure a better inheritance.

Only when resources are extremely abundant or direct descendants are not worthy of cultivation would they focus on cultivating indirect descendants to complete the family's spiritual inheritance or Heaven-Human inheritance.

Does the Wang Clan have such financial and material resources? Are they willing to cultivate an indirect descendant?

It's likely that this woman's talent is extraordinary, and the Wang Clan has invested some resources in her cultivation. Adding her own talent and hard work, she has achieved this much.

What a pity What a pity!

If she could enter the Purple Palace Academy, her achievements would be far beyond this.

This woman, born in the Ping'an Wang Clan, is truly being wasted.

If she were in the Longzuo's Wang Family...

The Ancestor would definitely think of a way to send her to the Purple Palace Academy.

And they would grasp the resources to support her, letting her compete for the position of Core Disciple. Once she becomes a Core Disciple, she would be able to bring great benefits to the family.

They, the Longzuo's Wang Family, have a clan elder who has already joined the Purple Palace Academy and become a Core Disciple.

Wang Luotong's heart was slightly surprised. These guests from the Longzuo's Wang Family are really strange.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, she fell into a thoughtful expression.

From time to time, she would furrow her brows, shake her head, and sigh, as if she were lamenting something, her expression was so vivid and strange.

But she didn't mind, treating the Longzuo's Wang Family with courtesy and respect.

Since you like to think, then think away, she continued to chat with her brother and nephew.

It seemed like they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Wang Luotong and Wang Shouye's conversation was very lively.

The two of them talked about some strange and unusual things.

Especially Wang Shouye, who casually mentioned some interesting things that had happened in Changning Guard.

Wang Luotong listened with a "hehe" giggle, saying it was quite interesting.

Young Wang Zongsheng also chimed in, feeling that it was very interesting. He said that in two years, he would also go to Changning Guard to help his father Wang Shouyi, who was stationed at the Ping'an Wang Clan's fish farm, and gain some experience.

Wang Shouyue finally came back to his senses.

Listening to those so-called interesting things, he only felt that they were ordinary and not particularly new. With a sense of superiority, he joined the conversation, talking about some strange and unusual things that had happened in Longzuo County.

Wang Luotong and the others listened with amazement, feeling that it was very fresh and interesting. After all, Longzuo County was too far from Changning Guard, and their news wasn't very well-connected.

It turned out that Longzuo County had so many fun things.

Seeing their interested expressions, Wang Shouyue became even more talkative, saying: "You all don't know, but around Longzuo County, we've already started planting a type of wheat called Wang Clan 7. This wheat can increase the annual yield by 40-50%. The overall extra income is also more than 30% higher than last year."

"It's just a pity that Wang Clan 7 wheat is hard to get, and it can't be replanted. My Longzuo's Wang Family only got a few thousand acres of it through connections."

"I don't know which Wang Clan developed this wheat, but it's really giving our Wang Clan ancestors a good name. With just this wheat, that Wang Clan aristocratic family must be making a fortune."

There are many Wang Clans in the world, and in Longzuo County alone, there are probably over a dozen or twenty families. Looking at the entire Da Qian country, the number of Wang Clan families is countless.

Therefore, Wang Shouyue didn't think that the Ping'an Wang Clan was the true owner of the wheat and rice.

Wang Clan 7 wheat.

Wang Shouye and the others couldn't help but look at each other, revealing a strange expression.

At the same time, Wang Shouyue continued to speak excitedly: "But soon we'll be able to get more Wang Clan 7 wheat and Wang Clan 9 rice. When the time comes, I'll discuss it with our Ancestor, and we can give some to you, Ping'an Wang Clan, to increase your farm's yield."

It's clear that this kid, although he has a big mouth and a strong sense of superiority, has a good heart.

Wang Shouye felt very embarrassed, not wanting him to continue speaking, and quickly bowed and laughed: "Brother, take a look around the farmland."

Wang Shouyue looked around and saw that it was all well-planned and well-organized fertile farmland. This season, they were clearly planting winter wheat. Now that winter was over and spring had arrived, the wheat had already sprouted, and everywhere was a lush green, very pleasing to the eye.

"Ping'an town's planning and management are not bad, very neat and beautiful." Wang Shouyue spoke, "But I see that there are villages nearby, these are probably all ordinary people's farmland, what's so special about it?"

"Cough." Wang Shouye coughed twice and patiently explained: "Brother, all of this is Wang Clan 7 winter wheat."

"What?" Wang Shouyue was like he had been struck by lightning, his eyes wide with surprise, looking around: "This, this is all Wang Clan 7 wheat?"

"All of it." Wang Shouye said quietly, "The entire Ping'an town's common people are planting Wang Clan 7 wheat, with around **10,000 acres."

"This, this is impossible!" Wang Shouyue took two steps back, seemingly disbelieving, his face red with excitement, arguing: "These, these are all ordinary people's farmland, how can they all be planting Wang Clan 7 wheat?"

"You, Ping'an Wang Clan, even if you can get good seeds, you would only use them in your own farm, right? How can you let ordinary people benefit?"

Everyone is more or less related, and they're all from the same generation.

Wang Shouye couldn't bear to see him embarrassed anymore, so he whispered a reminder: "Brother Wang, our Wang Clan's 7th-generation rice. Think about it, the key point is - Wang Clan."

"Wang Clan, Wang Clan!" Wang Shouyue's whole body trembled, his face filled with shock and disbelief. "This, this Wang Clan's 7th-generation rice, is actually cultivated by your Ping'an Wang Clan?"

He was speechless.

He just wanted to boast a little, to satisfy his inner sense of superiority. Was he wrong?

Heaven, why are you torturing Wang Shouyue like this?

In an instant, Wang Shouyue's face turned bright red, and he felt like finding a hole to crawl into.

Wang Xiaozuo, who was equally shocked, rushed over to mediate, saying: "Unbelievable, truly unbelievable. Our Ping'an Wang Clan's luck is so good, we've actually cultivated excellent rice varieties. It's truly a magnificent sight."

The Wang Clan members naturally responded with humility, downplaying their achievement, saying it was nothing special.

In reality, they were all core members of the family. Of course, they knew that the Wang Clan's 7th-generation rice was just a discarded variety from the family's secret farm.

The mysterious rice varieties cultivated in the heavily guarded core farm were the truly terrifying core products.

Their yield and quality were so high that the family didn't dare to use the Wang Clan name, and instead secretly sold them through special channels to other counties.

Of course, this was a secret that would never be revealed. This was the Wang Clan's core secret, unknown even to their relatives and allies.

"Let's get back on the horse, gentlemen. Once we arrive at the main residence, Fourth Brother will treat you well." Wang Shouye, as a member of the Wang Clan, didn't want to make their guests feel awkward, so he changed the subject.

"Okay, okay." Wang Xiaozuo hurriedly agreed, pulling Wang Shouye back to the horse.

But Wang Shouyue, still in shock, felt a sense of unease in his heart. He wanted to regain some face.

He thought quickly: "You know about foreign cement and foreign glass? These are new products imported from overseas. Especially foreign cement, which is much better than local cement. Many Martial Clans in Longzuo County have started using foreign cement to build their floors. Even our family has built a foreign cement training ground. The floor is as smooth as a mirror, much better than bluestone."

The price of foreign cement was indeed higher than local cement, but using it to build floors was still a luxurious affair, which was why Wang Shouyue felt proud.

"This..." Wang Shouye looked embarrassed, patting his forehead and whispering: "Brother Wang, take a look at the road."

The road?

Wang Shouyue looked down and his face turned from shock to disbelief His handsome face twisted, and his mouth trembled.

How was this possible?

The entire road was paved with foreign cement?

Sweat dripped from his forehead, and he felt like he was going to collapse.

No wonder the road felt so smooth when they were riding the horse earlier. It was like silk.

He hadn't thought about it earlier.

Using foreign cement to build a training ground was already a luxurious affair, but using it to build a road...

How rich was the Wang Clan?

Wang Shouyue's heart was screaming in despair.

The most critical thing was that his earlier boasting had become a laughingstock, and his face was burning with shame.

Wang Xiaozuo, who was watching from the side, was speechless.

Although the Wang Clan's rice varieties and foreign cement road had shocked him, he had already warned Wang Shouyue that they shouldn't underestimate other powerful families and should be cautious when going out.

But Wang Shouyue hadn't taken it to heart.

Well, let him suffer a little. It would be good for his growth.

From then on, Wang Shouyue was much more cautious and asked questions only after careful observation.

As they walked, they saw many things that shocked them, including the Zhuwei Mansion, the commercial plaza, and a level three water spirit beast playing with children by the lake.

Everything they saw was unbelievable.

Finally, they arrived at the main residence.

These two guests from Longzuo's Wang Family, especially Wang Shouyue, had already entered a state of shock. He felt like he was a poor relative from the county city, coming to visit his rich relatives in Ping'an Town.

Wang Xiaozuo's heart was also racing.

He had prepared a gift worth 2,000 gold coins, but now it seemed like it might not be enough. What should he do?

Meanwhile, Wang Shoujie had already received the news and had returned from the research center. He had discussed it with Ancestor Longyan and Ancestor Xiaohan, and they had decided that Wang Shoujie and Ancestor Xiaohan would receive the guests.

Wang Shoujie stood at the main gate, waiting to greet them.

As soon as he saw the two guests dismount, he smiled and welcomed them: "Ancestor Xiaozuo and Brother Wang, I'm sorry I didn't come to greet you earlier. Please forgive me."

Earlier, Wang Luotong had already informed Wang Shoujie about the guests.

The two guests from Longzuo's Wang Family immediately stood up straight, looking at Wang Shoujie with great interest. They had heard a lot about him and the changes he had brought to Ping'an Town.

This made the two guests from Longzuo's Wang Family very curious about Wang Shoujie.

Wang Shoujie and Wang Shouyue exchanged glances.

"Ah?" Wang Shoujie nodded secretly, impressed that this young man from Longzuo's Wang Family was quite talented.

He was only 21 or 22 years old, but had already reached the Qi Refinement Stage Seven peak. If he were to enter the Purple Palace Academy, he would likely become a core disciple.

Wang Shouyue, on the other hand, couldn't see through Wang Shoujie's cultivation level, but that was to be expected, given their age difference.

However, he thought to himself that Wang Shoujie looked like he was 26 or 27 years old, and according to his own standards, should be at the Qi Refinement Realm Eight or Nine.

Wang Shouyue estimated that Wang Shoujie was probably at the Qi Refinement Realm Nine initial stage. Ah, that was about right.

He thought that if he worked hard, he might be able to catch up.

As such, Wang Shouyue's confidence was restored a little.

"Ah? Third Uncle, what's wrong with your face?" Wang Shouyue suddenly saw Wang Xiaozuo's shocked expression and asked anxiously, "Third Uncle, could it be that he's already at the Qi Refinement Realm Nine middle stage?"

Wang Xiaozuo's face turned from shock to a bitter smile, and he said three words.

"Can't see through!"

Can't see through?!

In an instant, Wang Shouyue's face turned white, and his legs trembled. He was in a daze as he was led into the main residence and seated for the welcome banquet.

His mind was filled with those three words, "can't see through."

It represented a result.

That was, his cultivation level was at least on par with Wang Xiaozuo, who had already reached the Spirit Platform Stage.

Heaven, why are you bullying me, Wang Shouyue?

"Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle!" Wang Lici suddenly appeared in the welcome hall, sniffing the air, and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "I heard you're hosting guests. Why didn't you let me come to accompany them?"

Wang Shoujie's face turned cold, and he said, "Li Ci, there's nothing for you to do here. Fourth Uncle will invite you to eat later."

Wang Lici looked disappointed, like a abandoned puppy.

Ah? This girl looked silly and a bit chubby, not very intimidating. Wang Shouyue, whose confidence had been crushed, suddenly felt a boost, and encouraged Wang Shoujie, saying: "Shoujie Fourth Brother, let's eat together. We're all family."

At least there was someone who didn't seem intimidating, which would make him feel better.

It had a healing effect. XD
