Seeing his father come back, Wen Tianyin was very surprised, because he hadn't been back to the village for more than ten years, and he usually took his children to see him, but now he is back.

"Isn't Dao'er here?" Wen Changtai asked

"Dad, Dao'er is practicing boxing in the back mountain." Moon said.

"Oh." Wen Changtai nodded, as if reminiscing about his memory, "It's been a few days since the clan exam, how is Dao'er's cultivation?" ”

"There is still half a month to take the clan exam, and Dao'er is stepping up his practice, but he is still stuck in the bottleneck of the second grade of martial arts and cannot break through." A hint of worry flashed in Moon Tianyin's eyes.

"Tianyin, what do you think this is?" Wen Changtai took out the two top-grade Pei Yuan Dan given by Lin Wei.

"Pei Yuan Dan?" Wen Tianyin saw the pill with a slight golden glow in Wen Changtai's hand, hurriedly took it in his hand and looked at it again, and after making sure that it was not a counterfeit product, he asked excitedly: "Dad, where did you get Pei Yuan Dan?" ”

"A friend gave it, you give it to Dao'er to eat, I'll go to the patriarch later." Wen Changtai said.

"Looking for the patriarch? What are you looking for him for? Moon Tianyin was a little unhappy.

"That friend of mine is a pharmacist, and I plan to let our clan underwrite his elixir, which will also be beneficial to the development of the family." Wen Changtai said.

"Dad, those people in the clan are like this to our family, what are we going to do with introducing the pharmacist to them? The man's pill, we took it ourselves. Moon said.

"Tianyin, I know that because of me, you and Dao'er have been bullied by the people of the clan since childhood, but the family is a family after all, just like a country, as our hidden family, only when the family is strong, our status will be higher, otherwise we will only be exterminated. Now that our family is declining, it is because there is no pharmacist to provide us with the elixir for cultivation, and now this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that cannot be missed. Besides, with our own financial resources, where can we afford expensive pills, I introduced the pharmacist to the family, which can be regarded as a great achievement, and you and Dao'er's status in the family will definitely improve, and you and Dao'er will be able to get more resources from the family in the future, and you and Dao'er will be able to go further in cultivation. Wen Changtai said.

Although Wen Tianyin was unwilling, he didn't dare to disobey his father's intentions, "Okay, I'll take this Pei Yuan Dan to Dao'er first." ”

Wen Changtai nodded, and he also took another Peiyuan Pill and walked towards the patriarch's house.

The patriarch Wen Shouli's family lives on the east side of the Wen family ancestral hall, which is a courtyard built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which has a history of several hundred years, and family meetings are usually held in this courtyard.

When Wen Changtai arrived at the door of the patriarch's house, he did not rush in, but rang the bronze bell hanging from the old camphor tree at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

This bell is usually not allowed to ring, and it will only ring when there is a major event in the clan to call a meeting of the villagers.

The bell rings melodiously and travels far and wide. At the edge of the village, in the Shangang Grottoes, everyone who heard the bell immediately stopped their hands and hurried to the ancestral hall.

The bronze bell has not been rung for a long time, and I don't know if there is something important in the clan that needs to be called in a hurry.

Hearing the bell, Wen Shouli also ran out of the house, he wanted to see who rang the bronze bell, why didn't he know what major things were happening in the clan?

When he went out, he saw that it was Wen Changtai ringing the bell under the old camphor tree, Wen Shouli suddenly became angry, "Changtai, you are not Xia Zhengbang to be your bodyguard, what kind of trouble did you come here to make trouble, who asked you to go back to the village, you dare to ring the bell!" ”

Soon, the elders of the clan also came, and when they saw that it was Wen Changtai who rang the bell, they were immediately a little annoyed, and the great elder Wen Shouyi smiled coldly, "Who did I say?" It turned out to be Changtai, what's wrong, I'm tired of being outside, and I want to be in the clan? ”

Wen Changtai loosened the bell rope and saluted the patriarch and several elders, "Patriarch, elders, Changtai has something important to say to the patriarch and elders when he comes back this time. ”

"What important thing can you do, protect Xia Zhengbang, the Xia family's kindness to us is the most important thing for you." Second Elder Wen Shouren said.

"That is, when you were asked to protect Xia Zhengbang, you said that you must protect Xia Zhengbang with all your heart, and you can't come back without an order from the clan, don't you remember!" The third elder Wen Shoulian also reproached.

"That's right, the person who asked you to protect the Xia family in the first place was already extrajudicial to you, and you still have the face to come back!"

"You are not welcome in the clan, you hurry back!"

Discordant voices emanated from the crowd, and the villagers seemed to regard Wen Changtai as a beast of prey, and they wanted to drive him out of the village immediately.

Wen Changtai did not defend the villagers' misunderstanding of himself, and could only blame himself for believing in his friends too much, which led to an unwarranted disaster in the village, but fortunately, Xia Zhengbang came forward to solve the crisis, in order to repay Xia Zhengbang's kindness, the clan punished him for not entering the village in this life, and to protect Xia Zhengbang's safety as a slave.

"Patriarch, elders, may we come to the council chamber to speak." Wen Changtai said.

"The council chamber? Do you think you have what it takes? Wen Shouli looked at Wen Changtai coldly.

Wen Changtai sighed, knowing that the clan still hadn't forgiven the mistakes he had made back then, so he said, "I actually have something important to report to you this time. ”

"Tell me what's important?" Wen Shouli was a little impatient.

"I met a pharmacist outside this time, and he originally intended to cooperate with our family and sell us all the refined pills." Wen Changtai said.

"What? Did the pharmacist originally sell us the pill? The old camphor tree suddenly exploded like a pot, and everyone talked about it.

"Let's go! Enter the chamber. Wen Shouli heard that the pharmacist intended to cooperate with the Wen family, and knew the importance of the matter, so he immediately asked Wen Changtai and several elders to the council hall to discuss in detail.

In the council hall, there were only the patriarch, the five elders, and Wen Changtai.

"Okay, you can say it now, you said that the pharmacist originally intended to cooperate with us, what is going on?" Wen Shouli asked.

"This time I met a friend outside, he is a pharmacist, and his refining skills are very high, and he promised to sell us all the pills he refines in the future." Wen Changtai said.

"What? What you're saying is true! Wen Shouli was a little excited when he heard that Wen Changtai's friend was a pharmacist and was willing to sell all the refined pills to his family, but he couldn't believe that this was true.

The elders of the council hall were also surprised, after all, the Wen family is a small family in the hermit family, and the pharmacists have a very high status in the hermit family, most of them are willing to cooperate with those big families, and for the small families, the pharmacists disdain to cooperate, which is why the Wen family has not been able to grow, because without the original intention of the pharmacist, there will be very few pills, and it will be difficult for the young people of the family to improve their cultivation.

Wen Changtai looked serious, "Changtai doesn't dare to joke with the future of the whole clan. ”

"That's good." Wen Shouli laughed, "I didn't expect God to favor us, there is actually a pharmacist who intended to cooperate with our Wen family, Changtai, you have done a great good thing for the family, go and invite that pharmacist now, and we will discuss cooperation with him." ”

"Okay." Wen Changtai nodded, turned and walked out of the council room.
