Strictly speaking, this elite competition is not the first large-scale selection of the Yang family in the sphere of influence under their control, in fact, the Yang family has already made two similar attempts in the past few years.

For the first time, because the Yang family organized such a large-scale event for the first time, there were many mistakes due to lack of experience, coupled with the turbulent situation at that time, the prestige of the Yang family was insufficient, and many people in the sphere of influence still had doubts.

The second time, the Yang family's sphere of influence is expanding day by day, and its control over the local area is becoming more and more powerful, and the recognition of the Yang family in the local towns and villages has improved.

Moreover, in the first round of selection, in order to avoid the joke of the first big competition, the ostensibly fair lottery selection actually deliberately let four foreign children draw together, so as to ensure that at least two foreign children enter the second round of challenges.

However, it is a pity that at that time, there were a total of sixty-four foreign disciples plus the Yang family monks, although four foreign children broke through after the first round, but only one was left behind the top sixteen in the second round, and the eight monks who finally obtained the elite disciple qualification were still only the children of the Yang family.

Of course, this shows that after all these years of careful cultivation, the cultivation strength of the Yang family's children has undoubtedly surpassed that of the children of foreign clans, but it also somewhat discouraged the local township monks controlled by the Yang family, thinking that this is just a show thrown by the Yang family to buy people's hearts, but in fact, the benefits are all the means of the Yang family.

It is precisely because of this that in order to hold the third elite competition smoothly and dispel the concerns of the local township monks in Mengyu and Hu Yao counties, the Yang family had to throw out heavy rewards and rewards for those towns and villages that can cultivate outstanding children in the elite competition.

This trick really worked, the Yang family has been forging ahead and thriving over the years, and its position in the Yuzhou cultivation world has become increasingly stable, not to mention anything else, just this time the Twelve True Demon Peaks have won a great victory, and the cart of cultivation materials has been transported back to Wasteland Town from the convenient road specially opened in Quwu Mountain, and it is said that it took three days and three nights before and after, not to mention that the really precious good things have probably been brought back by the Yang family's real people with storage magic weapons, and those heavy rewards are really nothing to the Yang family today.

Therefore, driven by various interests, the local villages all elected their outstanding children to participate in the township competition, and then the town guards and city guards recommended these best people to the Yang family in Wasteland Town.

After Yang Junping returned home, his expression looked a little tired, originally with his cultivation in the real realm, even if he didn't sleep for dozens of days, it was nothing, but dealing with these family affairs made his spirit feel extremely tired.

Peng Shitong saw him sitting there dying and didn't want to move, his expression was full of exhaustion, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, so he made a pot of hot tea and brought it up.

Yang Junping took a cup of hot tea handed over by his wife and said with a smile: "What about the children, why can't you see the two of them?"

Peng Shitong said with a smile: "The two of them, these days they are mysterious and mysterious, and they disappear early every morning, it is said that it is because the family has recently come to many real monks of various factions, and the two of them often pretend to be children and maids to see those real monks of various factions." ”

Yang Junping was slightly dissatisfied, and said: "These two little ghosts, this has just opened up the dantian, it is not good to cultivate at home and stabilize their cultivation, what are they doing running around, what is there to look at a real monk, my father is not it? ”

Speaking of this, Yang Junping turned the muzzle of the gun: "You are also a mother, I am so busy these days that my feet do not touch the ground, but I have neglected to discipline them, but you are too indulgent to them, I think that at the beginning, when the eldest brother and I were as old as them, they could be alone at home, and the eldest brother even practiced more than one spiritual power, the qualifications of the two of them are not worse than ours, and the cultivation conditions are even more different, how can this cultivation fall behind us?"

Yang Junping's anger came for no reason, but Peng Shitong understood his character, and comforted: "The situation is different, you can't compare Xi'er and Yao'er with the eldest brother, and besides, the two of them have just opened up the dantian, let them relax for a few days, and by the way, it is also good to meet these high-level monks." ”

Yang Junping also knew that his anger was a little unprovoked, mostly because the family affairs in the past few days had made him depressed, but the man's face still made him snort, and said: "In short, don't let them relax too much, the elite competition will start in the next few days, let them also go and see, understand their gaps, and tell them that if the two of them can't become the elite children of the family in three years, then get out of Xishan Village and go to the county seat to see the shop as a shopkeeper." ”

After a few cruel words, Yang Jun calmed down, thought of the gift boxes stacked in the living room when he just entered the house, and asked, "Someone has sent gifts to the door again?"

Peng Shitong said "um" and said with a smile: "There are quite a few, they are all related to each other, according to your instructions, the accounts of each family are recorded." ”

Yang Junping nodded and said, "Catch Ming'er and send all of them to the family's inner treasury and hand them over to the sixth uncle for registration, even if it is a donation from these people to the family." ”

Peng Shitong covered his mouth and laughed, Yang Junping looked at her and asked puzzledly, "It's not the first time you've done this, what are you laughing at?"

Peng Shitong smiled: "Do you know what the people outside now say about your father and son who are in power?"

Yang Junping was interested at this time, and asked, "What do you say?"

Peng Shitong said: "The clansmen said that they went through the back door to ask the patriarch and father and son to do things, and the father was reprimanded by the lover if he did not accept the matter, and the eldest brother was the one who accepted the matter and did not do the gift, but when he came to you, he did not do the matter according to the courtesy, and the people did not see it,......"

Before Peng Shitong finished speaking, Yang Junping had already laughed "haha".

Peng Shitong saw that Yang Junping was in a better mood, and then asked as if he was unintentional: "I heard that Brother Baozhang's injury was actually healed a few years ago, and there has been no movement all these years, but because of the failure of the last advancement, he lost confidence, and he didn't dare to try again for fear of death?"

Yang Junping restrained his smile when he heard this, glanced at her, and said, "Is there any other rumor in the family that has come to you?"

Peng Shitong naturally wouldn't hide it from him, and said calmly: "Several old people from the family came to the door to see if they could relax the selection of core disciples by one or two places, after all, even if it is a core disciple, because of the different cultivation levels, the cultivation resources provided by the family are also divided into levels, and the family resources enjoyed by a Great Perfection Realm cultivator every month are enough for three or four core disciples of the Evil Qi Realm." ”

Yang Junping sneered: "Hehe, is this a temptation? When Dad and eldest brother were in charge of family affairs, no one dared to let out such a rumor, and those so-called family elders were just some people who used them as gunmen." ”

Peng Shitong nodded, and said, "It seems that you already have a bottom in your heart." ”

"It's not just about cultivation resources!"

Yang Junping glanced at her and sighed: "This may be the disadvantage of the family compared to the sect, because of the maintenance of the bloodline, the family is more united than the sect, but it will also become more exclusive!"

Yang Junping paused, and then said: "Why did my father and eldest brother promote the twenty-eight monks with foreign surnames in the twelve towns and two cities of the elite competition to join? In order to break this narrow bloodline maintenance, not only to win the hearts of the people in the sphere of influence with an inclusive attitude, but also to let the children of the Yang family never indulge in the glory of the famous family, and always attract real talents with a broad vision and attitude. ”

"But it's only been a few years since the rise of the Yang family, and there are already people who can't wait to jump out and want to be xenophobic, and it's at this juncture of the elite competition, isn't this going to slap our father and son in the face!"

"Xenophobia?" Peng Shitong was a little puzzled.

Yang Junping nodded and said, "Su Baozhang's surname is Su, not Yang, unless he can become the son-in-law of the Yang family." ”

Peng Shitong's face changed slightly, and he said, "You mean ......?"

"Brother Baozhang has actually been with his wife all these years......" ......

Han Xiusheng is now a late-stage cultivator of the fourth level of the martial arts realm, but he also knows that his cultivation is almost the pinnacle of this life, and he can advance to the fourth level because of the secret help of his sister and brother-in-law, otherwise, with his qualifications, there is no possibility of impacting the Qingqi realm at all.

Cultivation was already hopeless, Han Xiusheng naturally pinned his hopes on the next generation of children, but his two sons were not cultivation materials, with his status as the shopkeeper of the Yang family's caravan over the years and the identity of the eldest wife and brother of the Yang family, he reluctantly brought the cultivation of his two sons to the martial arts realm.

Fortunately, as a late-stage martial arts cultivator, Han Xiusheng had a lifespan of two hundred years, and now although he is nearly a hundred years old, he still looks energetic, so he put the hope of successful cultivation on his grandchildren.

Han Qianfeng's qualifications are not bad, but unfortunately his temperament is not very good, he always wants to be clever and take shortcuts, Han Xiusheng has put a lot of effort into this grandson, and he does not hesitate to use his identity to pick a lot of natural treasures from the big tree of the Yang family for this grandson.

This kind of cultivation is not bad, there are also supernatural means or something, and there is even a middle-grade magic weapon that Han Xiusheng prepared long before he advanced to the martial arts realm, but the foundation is not very solid, and the strength is barely in the middle among the children of the same age of the Yang family, this kind of strength has no hope of winning elite disciples at all, and even the selection of elite candidates at the beginning is probably difficult.

Han Xiusheng took great pains for this grandson, not only through the operation of the contacts he had made over the years, he successfully transferred Han Qianfeng's identity from the Yang family to the elite seed of Wilderness Town, and even he saw the opportunity from the lottery to take care of the elite seeds of foreign surnames in the last elite competition, and after sending a large amount of jade coins to a certain Yang family monk in charge of the on-site lottery without a trace, he got the promise that he would draw a good lot for his grandson.

The draw of lots for the elite competition has begun, and one by one the signs that are about to fight are on the high platform, and they are drawn out on the spot and announced loudly in front of everyone's eyes, and from time to time the monks who have been drawn respond loudly.

"At least you have to pass the first round, if you can pass the second round, it would be better, at least grandpa, I don't want to be faceless, and I have confidence when I go to beg your aunt or Uncle Junshan!"

Han Xiusheng whispered to Han Qianfeng, who was about to play the draw.

Han Qianfeng already knew that his grandfather had paved the way for himself in advance, and he was already full of confidence in his heart, and he sounded more like nagging for Han Xiusheng's instructions, and said absent-mindedly: "I know, I know, you can rest assured, I will pass this round!"

Han Qianfeng spoke in a loud voice, and there were many Yang disciples around him who were familiar with him, and they all shouted a trace of contempt and ridicule when they heard the words and looked at him.

Unexpectedly, these eyes made Han Qianfeng more and more proud: "A group of turtles, don't look at many of you surnamed Yang, but my grandfather's eldest sister is the patriarch of the Yang family, Yang Tiangang Zhenren, the famous Junshan Zhenren, I call him an uncle, and now Junping Zhenren, who is actually in charge of the Yang family, I call him a second uncle, what if you cultivate to be higher than me, what about your surname Yang, this elite competition is not going to fall behind me." ”

Han Qianfeng was fantasizing that in the past, those children of the Yang family who were stronger than him would lag behind him in the big competition one by one, and then get the personal guidance of his aunt and grandfather, as well as Junshan Zhenren and others, and in the future, he could mock these people as much as possible, and his vanity was being satisfied like never before......

Han Qianfeng, who was immersed in obscenity, suddenly felt as if his surroundings had quieted down all of a sudden, Han Qianfeng came back to his senses, but saw the eyes of the people around him looking at him together.

When Han Qianfeng looked up at the high platform, he saw that the Yang monk who had a deep "friendship" with his grandfather was looking at the jade stick in his hand with a cloudy face.

"Oh, did you draw me, hehe, let me see which unlucky guy is worse than me, look at the surprised and strange faces of these bastards around me, I'm afraid they are all envious of Ben Shao's good luck in their hearts, it's still their own grandfather's strength......"

Han Qianfeng, who was full of excitement, turned his head to look at his grandfather, but saw that Han Xiusheng's expression was gloomy as if he was about to drip water.

"This, what's the matter, grandpa's face is a little wrong......"

Han Qianfeng finally felt that something was wrong, he couldn't care about the eyes of the people around him looking at him, and looked at the high platform suddenly.

"Who is the other person who was called out by lottery just now?"

A young monk dressed in black and about the same age as him walked up to the high platform with a calm expression, took the jade slip in the somewhat stiff hand of the Yang monk who was in charge of drawing lots, and then glanced at Han Qianfeng, who was stunned and trembling a little under the high platform.

"I ...... Fuck ...... me Sue...... Su Chang'an?!"
