From the fake emperor to the concubine

In the world of cultivating immortals, women undergo many changes after they have developed spiritual roots. They no longer need to rely on men, so many women choose to be alone.

The Wang family did have a few promising talents in the generation of the young patriarch Wang Xingyin, but the situation was much worse in his daughter's generation.

The head and second elder of the Wang family.

Most of them have offspring when they are in their thirties or even fifties or sixties.

Immortal cultivators have long lifespans and have families to support them, so many of them are unwilling to compromise when they are young, and naturally they do not marry, have children, or start a family.

The large age gap between generations makes sense.

"You should also consider your marriage."

The great elder was twisting black sandalwood Buddhist beads in his hands.

He has white hair and a youthful face. Although his head is covered with frost, it is said that his cultivation level has already reached the perfect state of Qi Refining, which is three times stronger than the current clan leader.

It’s just that I haven’t been ready for a breakthrough, so I haven’t advanced yet.

The last time the family gave the inferior foundation-building pill to the young clan leader Wang Xingyin, it was after careful consideration. One of the important considerations was that the great elder’s energy and blood had already declined.

However, with the emergence of Zheng Yi, a potential candidate to become a second-grade alchemist in the family, and as long as the family can gather the materials to refine the foundation-building pill.

Within the next ten to twenty years, there may be a stable supply of Foundation Establishment Pills.

The Great Elder had previously given up hope of building the foundation, but a trace of greed and hope in his heart gradually ignited again.

then.

Like the second elder, he had some small ideas.

Betrothing their daughter to Zheng Yi, given their status, was not an injustice to their daughter and it helped to make a happy marriage.

Kill two birds with one stone, it is not a forced move.

"Father, my daughter doesn't want to."

Wang Manman lowered her head, frowned slightly, bit her lower lip, and said with determination, "My daughter wants to try and see if she can break through to the foundation-building stage in her lifetime.

If she succeeds, my daughter would like to find a Taoist partner who is at the Foundation Establishment stage, and work together to take a further step forward in the Foundation Establishment stage, rather than wasting her best years on trivial family affairs.

Family development is all about increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

There are many people in the family who have tried to save money, and my daughter wants to try her best to increase revenue.”

"Middle-grade spiritual roots, how confident are you?"

The elder stopped holding the Buddhist beads, opened his eyes, and calmly looked at his eldest daughter in front of him, "Although the family still has extra spiritual aids for you.

But even so, how confident are you that you can succeed?"

The Great Elder had a serious expression on his face and every word he said was true.

The Great Elder did not mention the fact that Zheng Yi was able to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. According to the ancestor's stipulation, only a few people in the family knew about this.

Master Zhang and Zheng Yi have a master-disciple relationship.

And if it weren’t for Master Zhang, the family probably wouldn’t have had this hope at this time, so Master Zhang is not included.

Young clan leader Wang Xingyin knew that the news had already leaked before the clan leader met the ancestor, which was really helpless.

Since the ancestor has given the order, if others dare to disobey, they will really be involved in a family dispute.

Are these elders indispensable?

This is obviously impossible.

Being questioned repeatedly by her father, Wang Manman clenched her teeth, not knowing how to refute.

She just didn't want to accept her fate so easily.

Seeing that his daughter was unwilling and Zheng Yi was not a person who would force others, the elder softened his heart and said again: “This time, the family will not arrange someone else for you.

It was the third-grade alchemist Zheng Yi.

I'm not forcing you, I just want you to meet first, is that okay?
Whether it can be accomplished is another matter.”

"Father, I understand. I am willing."

Wang Manman finally compromised.

She slowly left the garden and returned to her own bedroom in the courtyard.

Looking at the starry sky, a cool breeze blows in the evening.

She was at a loss.

Now she is no longer a young girl of fifteen or sixteen. She is nearly thirty years old and has broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining. Although she cannot be called a genius in the family, she is definitely among the best.

However, there are people in the family who are better qualified than her.

The young clan leader Wang Xingyin alone is able to suppress her, and then there is Wang Miaomiao. Now even Zheng Yi, who is only in his early twenties, has broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining and is also a third-grade alchemist.

In front of so many up-and-coming talents.

Her talent of middle-grade spiritual roots seemed to be increasingly ordinary, even insignificant.

There are currently three people with superior spiritual roots in the family, not counting the elders of the older generation.

Wait until she breaks through to the perfect state of the tenth level of Qi Refining.

By the time he sets out to break through to the foundation-building stage, he will probably be in his forties or even fifties.

The life span of the Qi Refining Stage is only about a hundred years. If one has not broken through the Qi Refining Stage before the age of fifty, there will be no hope of building a foundation.

It seems.

The chances were really slim, no wonder her father came to discuss her marriage today.

The more Wang Manman thought about it, the more she understood her father's intention, which was just to prepare a way out for her.

The sudden appearance of Zheng Yi, a third-grade alchemist in the family, is indeed a very suitable candidate.

"Father, your daughter understands your intentions and will choose this path."

That night, Wang Manman gradually accepted the family's arrangement.

After all, as a family member, you must contribute to the family. This is the rule set by the family and no one can change it.

The next day.

Zheng Yi woke up and just left the yard when he saw Elder Wang appear in front of him.

"Elder, what's the matter?"

Zheng Yi looked puzzled.

Although he is now very popular in the family, under the arrangements of many ancestors and elders, his influence should be limited to the younger generation of disciples.

Zheng Yi knew very well that he shouldn't have too much connection with the elders above.

In this case, Elder Wang’s behavior seems quite strange.

"You are so lucky, kid."

Elder Wang said, “The Great Elder intends to marry his beloved daughter to you.

Although nominally you are allowed to meet first, if both parties are interested, you can start preparing for the wedding.

But in fact, although the elder seems gentle and polite on weekdays, his words are always final in the family, not to mention that this is his own daughter. "

Zheng Yi followed Elder Wang step by step.

Soon we arrived at the Transmission Hall.

Along the way, Elder Wang introduced him to the basic situation of the eldest daughter of the Wang family, the lineage of the Great Elder: "Wang Manman, the most talented one in the lineage of the Great Elder.

A mid-grade spiritual root should be comparable to your current spiritual root.

But unfortunately, yours is a repaired one, while this young lady is the real thing.

Besides.

She usually practices the way to fortune and luck, and has made many contributions to the Great Elder's lineage. She is also very proficient in combat magic, and has often carried out missions outside with the Young Clan Chief.

Originally everyone in the family thought she would be with the young patriarch, but I didn't expect that you would get the chance."

After hearing what Elder Wang said, Zheng Yi touched his nose guiltily.

Why does he feel like someone else is being taken advantage of?
The Great Elder probably betrothed his daughter to him in order to win him over. This is the truth.

However, Zheng Yi is a low-key person and is unwilling to say much, so Elder Wang in front of him naturally would not believe it.

"When? Where?" Zheng Yi asked softly.

Opportunities delivered to your door.

He didn't want to miss it easily, but he also wanted to meet the person first.

If the woman is not interested.

Zheng Yi would not force himself for a middle-grade spiritual root. After all, he already had a high-grade spiritual root, and a middle-grade spiritual root would be of some help to him.

But it is not indispensable.

"Tomorrow, you two will meet at the Qingshui Spring in the mountain behind the family. Several elders will also be there."

After Wang Lei said the last sentence to Zheng Yi, he returned to the Transmission Hall, and Zheng Yi also returned to the Alchemy Pavilion.

As soon as he arrived here, Master Zhang stared at him from a distance.

When Zheng Yi was looked at like this by Master Zhang, his face turned red, and he inexplicably felt as if he was caught cheating by his father-in-law.

However, Master Zhang just stared at him.

In the end, he said nothing and turned back to the box.

Zheng Yi touched his face, took out a mirror and looked at himself, making sure that there were no flaws. He then breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the box to continue refining the Yellow Dragon Pill and improving his alchemy skills.

However, the matter spread quickly among the younger generation of the Wang family like gossip.

"what?
Third-rank alchemist Zheng Yi is going to marry the daughter of the great elder, Sister Wang Manman, who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining?"

How can this be! "

"Zheng Yi is already a third-grade alchemist at such a young age. Even if he cannot be promoted to a second-grade alchemist in the future, it is of great significance to the family."

“The young clan leader failed to break through the foundation building before, and now he is often on missions outside.

Moreover, Sister Wang Manman is a whole generation older than the young clan leader, and her spiritual roots are only of the middle grade, while the young clan leader with the upper grade spiritual roots was unable to be with her. "

Once the key information is spoken,
Many members of the Wang family suddenly realized that although Wang Manman and the young patriarch Wang Xingyin were close on weekdays, it was actually unlikely that they had any other relationship from the beginning.

They were just ordinary partners who went out on a mission together.

Soon, the news reached the Alchemy Pavilion.

When Zheng Yi took some time out to rest.

Wang Miaomiao rushed to him angrily and said, "You want to marry Sister Wang Manman?

Don’t you already have four wives in your family?

How many more do you want to marry?
If you bite off more than you can chew, it is easy to be overwhelmed and delay your practice.

Even if you have become a third-grade alchemist in the family and have the support of family resources, you cannot act so recklessly and waste resources. "

Listening to Wang Miaomiao’s lecture.

Zheng Yi didn't want to argue with the girl, so he just smiled and prepared to return to the box.

But the little girl refused to give in, and she appeared in front of him again with a light body technique, stopping him firmly: "No, you can't be with Sister Wang Manman.

You are not from the same world at all."

Wang Miaomiao said while gritting her teeth.

Zheng Yi laughed and said, "Miss Wang, aren't you meddling too much?
This matter is just the intention of the Great Elder to bring us together.

We haven’t even met yet, so it’s still unclear whether we’ll marry each other or not.”

After Zheng Yi finished speaking, he paused, turned around and looked at Wang Miaomiao again, his sharp edge revealed.

Among the younger generation of the Wang family.

He felt that he had the ability to become a leader, and he wanted to show this momentum at this moment: "Or can Miss Wang in the Second Elder's Mansion be so reckless and ruin other people's marriages?
If this is the case, the next time the family meeting is held in the ancestral hall, I, the family's third-rank alchemist, will ask the second elder in person how he disciplines the younger generation."

Zheng Yi's eyes fixed, and there was a coldness between his brows. There was no trace of his usual calmness. The look as gentle as the breeze was blowing on your face was long gone. This directly shocked Wang Miaomiao.

The status of a third-rank alchemist in the family.

He is already comparable to an elder at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Even if he has not yet entered the foundation-building stage, people in the family will not offend him easily.

Wang Miaomiao had just broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, which was the late stage of Qi Refining. She was indeed not good enough in front of Zheng Yi.

Only when she becomes the elder of the Wang family in the future can the two of them be barely equal. After all, things are valuable because they are rare, and this principle applies at all times.

By the time Wang Miaomiao came to her senses, Zheng Yi had already entered the box.

"I didn't expect you, Zheng Yi, to be a hungry wolf. You were pretending to be so good before."

Wang Miaomiao was so angry that her teeth were bared and chattering, and she felt very unhappy.

She stood there for a moment.

His eyes rolled and he quickly came up with an idea.

It didn't take long to turn around.

She came to Wang Manman.

She exaggerated and spoke ill of Zheng Yi: "Sister Wang Manman, you must not marry Zheng Yi.

He is a lustful devil who does all kinds of evil things, deceives his superiors and subordinates, and bullies the weak. He is not a good person at all.

The reason why he could become a third-rank alchemist was because he inherited Master Zhang's legacy and had most of Master Zhang's resources to help him.

If it weren’t for Master Zhang’s help.

With his aptitude, he would be nothing more than a low-grade spiritual root after a hundred years. How could he have reached his current level of cultivation? All this must be thanks to Master Zhang.

and.

He already has several wives at home, and now he wants to marry you. I don’t know what insidious tricks he used to get the great elder to agree.

If you really marry her, the rest of your life will be ruined."

"Really?"

The more Wang Manman listened, the more uneasy she felt.

Although she was willing to accept the family arrangement, they could not arrange for such an unbearable person, not to mention that she was the eldest daughter of the great elder's lineage.

"Sister Wang Manman, we grew up together, how could I lie to you?"

Wang Miaomiao added fuel to the fire.

Wang Manman nodded: "I will discuss this matter with my father. Thank you very much this time, Miaomiao."

Seeing that her plan was successful, Wang Miaomiao was overjoyed. She nodded continuously like a chick pecking at rice, and left happily.

It was not until noon that Wang Manman found the opportunity to see her father and came to him.

at this time.

In a teahouse.

In front of me is a clear spring with golden-scaled fish in it.

The Great Elder specializes in the Golden Spiritual Root Cultivation Method. Raising these fish can increase the affinity for the Golden Spiritual Root and can also invigorate the body and mind.

Wang Manman came before the Great Elder and told him everything she had found out before without hiding anything, and also told him the role Wang Miaomiao played in it.

"hehe."

The Great Elder chuckled and put down the fishing rod in his hand. The fishing rod was just for show.

Hear what your daughter said.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a rare mocking smile appeared on his face: "Do you think Daddy is harming you?

Just to win over a third-grade alchemist?"

The Great Elder asked back quietly.

This sentence instantly overturned all of Wang Manman's previous impressions of Zheng Yi.

Wang Manman knew her father, the eldest elder of the Wang family, very well. She knew that he was very skilled in weighing the pros and cons and understanding people's hearts.

now.

She looked ashamed and lowered her head. (End of this chapter)
