An old man in a blue robe walked in, the old man in the blue robe had a ruddy complexion, white beard and hair, and a pair of tiger eyes that were not angry and self-threatening, and he was not a fool at first glance.

If you look closely, you can find that the facial features of the blue-robed old man are somewhat similar to Wang Mingyuan.

The old man in the blue robe was Wang Mingyuan's father, Wang Yaozu, Wang Changsheng's grandfather.

Wang Yaozu is seventy-five years old this year, with three spirit roots, seven levels of qi refining, and is responsible for liaison with other forces, such as the head of the Wang family's in-laws, who has a big birthday, and Wang Yaozu will bring people to congratulate him when he receives an invitation.

"Dad, why are you back so soon, aren't you going out to visit your friends?" Wang Mingyuan said with a little surprise in his eyes.

Wang Yaozu blew his beard and glared, and said angrily: "If it weren't for my sister-in-law reporting to me, I would have been deceived by you to visit my friends, you invited your second brother out and held such a big meeting, you deliberately split me! If I hadn't come back, I'm afraid Changsheng wouldn't have been selected!"

"Look at what you said, the candidates were recommended by your uncles, and I didn't make the decision. Wang Mingyuan was a little weak-hearted.

Wang Yaozu glanced at Wang Mingyuan and said, "I am your father and the patriarch of the Wang family, I have the right to speak!"

"Of course, but the final decision is up to your uncles. ”

"I know you will say this, second brother, sixth brother, eighth brother, as the saying goes, the virtuous do not avoid relatives, and Changsheng is my own grandson, but Qing'er once worked as a refining apprentice in the Shenbing Pavilion of Ziyuefang City for ten years, and instilled a lot of refining knowledge in Sheng'er since he was a child, if you only look at theoretical knowledge, I think no one in my age knows more than Sheng'er, this is not denied! If his performance in the assessment is mediocre, there is naturally no need to train him to be a refiner, otherwise, he should focus on training, what do you say!" Wang Yaozu said slowly.

"Dad, Sheng'er has made a great contribution to the discovery of the Xuanjin Ore Vein, and the clan will definitely reward him well, so there is no need to give him a place! Wang Mingyuan looked embarrassed.

"Juxian does not avoid relatives, you are right to do things fairly, but you want a bowl of water, if Sheng'er is not your son, he can't be selected? Besides, my sister-in-law has been a refining apprentice in the Shenbing Pavilion for ten years, and she should have met some people, if she becomes a refiner, when we buy refining materials with the Shenbing Pavilion in the future, there will be Qing'er to help match, and you can also enjoy some discounts, Sheng'er's refining knowledge is solid, if he can't be selected, why can other people be selected? You tell me a reasonable reason. ”

"This ······" Wang Mingyuan was speechless and looked at Wang Yaozong.

Wang Yaozong thought for a moment and said: " Anyway, there are five places, and there is a second round of assessment, so even if there is one immortal, there are still four places left, to add, the recommended candidate must be the three spirit roots, the pseudo spirit root is difficult to cultivate, even if it is cultivated as a first-order refiner, the cultivation cannot keep up, and the refining level is not easy to improve, in addition, the clansmen who are proficient in other skills themselves cannot be selected, they must be over eighteen years old, under fifty years old, first select ten clansmen who meet these conditions, and then select the more excellent four, by the way, immediately transfer Changsheng back and send someone to take his place。 ”

"Yes, second uncle, I'll send a message to Sheng'er later, let him rush back as soon as possible, let's pick out ten people from the clan first. ”

After half an hour of discussion, ten clansmen were finally selected.

After the meeting, Wang Mingyuan and Wang Yaozu came to the study, and Liu Qinger had already prepared snacks and tea and waited for a long time.

"Dad, how is it?, has Sheng'er been selected?" Liu Qing'er asked impatiently, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation.

"Speaking of which, if you hadn't informed me, I would have been kept in the dark! Mingyuan, should you give an explanation to your father? Your father is the elder of the Wang family, why did you want to transfer your father away when you held a clan meeting?" Wang Yaozu asked with a straight face.

Wang Mingyuan smiled bitterly and explained: "Dad, I was just afraid that you would recommend Changsheng, so I transferred you away, I don't want people to gossip." ”

Wang Yaozu rolled his eyes and reprimanded unceremoniously: "Gossip? What is there to say about this? There are five places, and Sheng'er only occupies one place, and the Xuanjin vein was discovered by him, and it is too much for Sheng'er to occupy a place? Is it natural for others to be selected? If you let Sheng'er go to Ping'an County to serve as a heavenly master, can I say that what you did is wrong? Aside from the fact that Sheng'er is your own son, if the clan selects people to train refiners, Sheng'er will definitely be selected. ”

Liu Qing'er nodded and said: "That's it, since the beginning of my son's memory, I will instill the knowledge of refining weapons in him every day, isn't it just for this day! But the clan can train five refiners at the same time? The cost of cultivating one refiner is not a small amount, let alone cultivating five refiners at the same time." ”

"Of course, it is impossible to train five refiners at the same time, first select ten clansmen, select five people to cultivate for a period of time, and then conduct an assessment, leaving the best two to focus on cultivating. Wang Mingyuan explained.

Liu Qing'er suddenly smiled, and urged: "Since Sheng'er has been selected, transfer him back quickly!"

"The second uncle has already ordered it down, and this is what you want. ”

"What are you talking about? This is the decision of the clan, for the father to go out, I can remind you, it is okay to be strict with the birth of children, but to have a bowl of water and treat everyone equally, you just care too much about other people's gossip, rumors stop at the wise, when you were elected as the head of the family, the sixth brother and a few of them still complained in private! But you do things fairly, this makes them convinced, and the same is true for children, if he passes the assessment and can be trained to become a refiner, others will not gossip. Wang Yaozu admonished meaningfully.

"Dad is right, as long as Sheng'er can become a refiner, others won't gossip! You better transfer Sheng'er back quickly, I want to teach him what I learned in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and I hope he can become a refiner. Liu Qing'er was a little eager to try.

Wang Mingyuan smiled bitterly and agreed repeatedly.

"I immediately repaired the book and asked the child to come back immediately. ”

······

Ping'an County, Lotus Island.

As the sun sets, the sunset drapes Lotus Island with a golden cloak.

Wang Changsheng sat in the stone pavilion, holding the "Compendium of Refining Weapons" in his hand, and watched it with relish.

He was now familiar with the basic refining knowledge and the characteristics of hundreds of first-order refining materials, as long as he had a refining furnace, refining materials, and spiritual weapon maps, he could try refining weapons.

"Ninth uncle, summons within the clan. Wang Qiusheng walked over quickly, holding a letter in his hand.

There was only one line on the letter: Return to Qinglian Mountain quickly, father Wang Mingyuan.

"Hurry back to Qinglian Mountain, what's going on in the clan, why are you in such a hurry?"

Wang Changsheng frowned, and a little doubt appeared in his eyes.

It has been less than half a month since he came back to Lotus Island, and it is not like his father's style to transfer him back so quickly.

"Qiusheng, are you sure it's a rumor within the clan?" asked Wang Changsheng solemnly.

"Yes, the carrier pigeons used in the clan are not the same as ordinary carrier pigeons, and they are indeed intra-clan messengers. ”

Receiving Wang Qiusheng's affirmative answer, Wang Changsheng was a little happy in his heart.

"You guys are looking at Lotus Island, I want to go back to Qinglian Mountain, if there is anything important that can't be solved, I will send a message to the clan. Wang Changsheng admonished, put away the "Compendium of Refining Weapons", his lips moved slightly, and a white cloud appeared out of thin air, lifting him up and flying towards the sky.
