Black Cloud City, Nie's family.

When night fell, Nie Qian, who was dressed in plain clothes, leaned on the windowsill, looking at the rockery outside the window, stunned.

Inside the house, Nie Tian, who had just turned one year old, pushed away the nurse impatiently, the corners of her mouth were covered with milk stains, but she looked at Nie Qian with blank eyes, and babbled and shouted: "Meat, eat meat......"

The nurse Zhou's mother looked embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Miss, look ......"

Nie Qian came back to her senses, glared at the tiger-headed Nie Tian, and scolded in a low voice: "This little bastard, he has already eaten two bowls of meat puree today, and he can't drink milk well, and now he wants to eat meat, and I don't know if he can digest it well." ”

"Meat, you want to eat meat......" Nie Tian still shouted with a smile.

Looking at Nie Tian with a flattering smile on her face, Nie Qian thought of her deceased sister, her heart softened, and she nodded lightly at the nurse Zhou's mother.

Zhou Ma Xuan took out a bowl of minced meat puree and gently placed it on the table, Nie Tian's dark eyes suddenly lit up, picked up the silver soup spoon, and dug it up skillfully, his chubby little face was full of satisfaction.

Listening to Nie Tian's sound of eating, Nie Qian felt a little irritated for no reason, "Xiaoyue, how many children will participate in tomorrow's lottery?" Nie Qian suddenly asked.

At the door, the maid Han Yue hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Miss, as long as it is from the Nie family, the surname is Nie, and the children are about one year old, they will participate." After all, every five years, the old immortals of Lingyun Mountain will bring spiritual weapons, and coming here like this can be regarded as a reward for the Nie family's years of hard work, and whoever has a one-year-old child is unwilling to miss the opportunity. ”

The Nie family is also a famous family in Black Cloud City, but this world is respected by qi refiners, and almost all of the mortal family forces are serving those powerful qi refiners, and the Nie family is naturally no exception.

The Qi Refiner Sect attached to the Nie family is the Lingyun Sect, which is located in Lingyun Mountain near Black Cloud City, in the belly of Lingyun Mountain, it is rich in fire marble stone, fire cloud stone is a common low-level spiritual material required for the cultivation of qi refiners, and the Qi refiners of Lingyun Sect are busy cultivating all year round, and they are unwilling to spend time mining this low-level fire cloud stone in the belly of the mountain, so they arrange for the Nie family's clansmen to go.

Generations of the Nie family have all mined fire marble stones and paid tribute to the Lingyun Sect in exchange for the protection of the Lingyun Sect.

And the Qi Refiners of the Lingyun Sect, in addition to protecting the Nie family from the suppression of other family forces in Black Cloud City, will also come to the Nie family every five years to use some low-level spiritual weapons to test the cultivation talent of the Nie family's children by drawing lots.

Every child, after birth, has more or less special attributes in their bodies, in addition to the attributes of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, there are also children who contain relatively rare attributes such as thunder and lightning, wind, clouds, and ice.

Children and spiritual artifacts with the same attributes can be attracted to each other, so that the attributes in the child's body can be determined, which allows the parents to prescribe the right medicine and know the child's future cultivation direction, so that the cultivation can be twice the result with half the effort.

The Qi Refiners of the Lingyun Sect will use those low-level spiritual weapons to win the loyalty of the Nie family, and the low-level spiritual weapons taken out at the drawing meeting will be given to the children of the Nie family who have the same attributes.

For the Qi Refiners of the Lingyun Sect, those low-level and useless spiritual weapons were helpful to the cultivation of the Nie family's children, and even for a long time, they were the most convenient spiritual weapons for the Nie family's children.

In the same way, the lottery meeting once every five years will make the Nie family boil, and any Nie parent who has a child of about one year old will regard it as a major event in the child's life and flock to it.

This time is no exception.

"I'm asking you, how many children are participating this time?" Nie Qian frowned.

"Seven. Han Yue lowered her head and whispered.

"Xiao Tian happens to be one year old, and he is also surnamed Nie, why didn't anyone inform me and let Nie Tian also go to this lot-drawing conference?" Nie Qian snorted coldly.

"Eldest Miss......" Han Yue smiled wryly, glanced up at Nie Qian, and said weakly: "Although Nie Tian is the child of the second miss, the second miss ...... Like you, they are just daughters, and before the second miss died, she never explained who Nie Tian's biological father was. ”

"The rules of the Nie family are there, only real grandchildren and granddaughters are eligible to participate in the five-year lot-drawing conference, grandson...... Not in this case. ”

"I don't care about those rules, my father is still the head of the family, I'll ask him for an explanation!" Nie Qian said hatefully, and after that, she left angrily.

"Although the old man is still the head of the family, this position is ...... It's not solid!" After Nie Qian left angrily, Han Yue's face was full of bitterness and muttered to herself.

After half ringing.

Nie Qian broke into Nie Donghai's pavilion and shouted angrily: "Daddy, Nie Tian is also ......"

One of her screams came to an abrupt end.

In the dim room, Nie Donghai, the current head of the Nie family, had a sallow face full of exhaustion, and his originally majestic body was now thin as a material, leaning against the wall, looking at a dark red pill in the palm of his left hand, hesitating.

Han Qian was angry, her heart was sour, her voice suddenly softened, and she persuaded gently: "Daddy, don't." ”

She recognized at a glance that the pill in Nie Donghai's palm was the Huishen Pill, and taking the Huishen Pill could make a Qi Refiner full of spiritual energy and strong spirit in a short period of time, and it had the effect of returning to light.

But the return to the Divine Pill is overdrawing the potential and longevity of the Qi Refiner, which will cause great damage to the Qi Refiner physically and mentally afterwards.

Generally speaking, only when a qi refiner is fighting with others, when life and death are at stake, will he use the Huishen Pill to seek a glimmer of life, and he would never dare to take it.

Lowering his head and looking at Nie Donghai, who had been returning to the Divine Pill for a long time, seeing Nie Qian's arrival, he smiled reluctantly, and said with difficulty: "Since I was severely injured by the Yun family and the Yuan family, my sea of qi has been shattered, and the gathering of spiritual energy can no longer withstand the speed of collapse...... It may also be impossible to keep it. ”

"The second and third have been thinking about my position as the head of the family for a long time, and the people from the Lingyun Sect will come over tomorrow, if he sees that my realm is getting worse, and then fan the flames for the second and third children, I am afraid that my position will really be given up." ”

"Daddy, if you want to overdraft Shouyuan in exchange for the position of head of the family, I would rather you retire early. Nie Qian's eyes moistened.

"What do you know?" Nie Donghai glared suddenly, his face full of murder and annoyance, "Only I am still the head of the Nie family, and the humiliation you suffered in the Yun family can have the one to seek justice! And the person who deceived your sister, I can only use the power of the Nie family to hope to find out who he is!"

"If I step down, the second and third children will never be able to pay attention to the grudge between you and your sister! For you and Jin'er, in this position, I can sit for one more day, just one more day!"

"What's the point of living a few years less? Once I step back, I will no longer be able to fight for you, and what is the difference between that and death?"

"Daddy!" Nie Qian couldn't stop crying.

"Okay, okay, don't be like a child who hasn't grown up, let's talk about it, what are you in a hurry to find me?" Nie Donghai took a deep breath, and his expression regained his determination.

"Daddy, tomorrow's lot drawing conference is very important, since you let Xiao Tian have the surname Nie, I hope Xiao Tian can also participate. If Xiao Tian can find a spiritual weapon suitable for him at the drawing lot, it will be of great help to his future cultivation. Perhaps, with the help of that spiritual weapon, he could step into the ninth layer of qi refining at the age of fifteen, and thus enter the Lingyun Sect. Nie Qian pleaded.

"This matter ......" Nie Donghai looked embarrassed, "How can I not know? For this matter, I have already talked to the second and third children, but they bite Xiao Tian to death is not the real son of my Nie family, so they have to turn Xiao Tian away with clan rules." ”

"Daddy, your cultivation path has come to an end, and my sister is gone, and I'm ...... That's all it takes in this life. Our team is not prosperous, only Xiaotian is a man, I hope you can try your best to fight for Xiaotian a chance. Nie Qian said with tears in her eyes.

Nie Donghai was silent for a long time, and nodded slightly, "I understand, you go back, tomorrow you take Nie Tian to attend the drawing of lots on time." ”

Nie Qian's tearful eyes showed a hint of joy, and she immediately bowed and retreated.

Just as she stepped out of the room and was about to leave, she heard the sound of Nie Donghai swallowing the Hui Shen Pill, and Nie Donghai's long sigh.

Nie Qian's heart was like a knife, knowing that she was coming, but it helped Nie Donghai make up her mind, she couldn't bear to look back, and left in a hurry.

......

ps: In the next day, the first time I arrived, please take care of it~
