From the fake emperor to the concubine

Faced with the questioning of the Wang family ancestor, the elders remained silent and no one answered.

“It’s settled.

At worst, our Wang family will go to war with those two big families.

We, the Wang family, are not without allies in this northern wilderness; it’s just a matter of paying a higher price.

Anyway, as long as I am alive, the two families will not dare to really go to war. "

The Wang family ancestor said firmly.

As Wang Shan, the ancestor of the Wang family, is about to break through to the late stage of foundation building.

His temper became more straightforward, which was the confidence brought by his growing strength.

Seeing this, the elders below could only respond one by one.

After many elders left, only a few core members of the family were left in the ancestral hall.

"Ancestor, why is this happening?"

The head of the Wang family couldn't help but ask.

These tribesmen knew their ancestor's temperament quite well.

“Why else?
It’s all for the Turtle Blood Grass!”

Wang Shan was very angry.

He felt that none of these tribesmen were smart enough. "Have you found the turtle blood grass?"

Wang Shan asked directly.

The head of the Wang family immediately lowered his head and said helplessly: "To collect the materials for the foundation-building pill, we only need the last kind of turtle blood grass.

But this last ingredient is so hard to find."

“I heard that Turtle Blood Grass has appeared in Tiannan Market recently, but it was only at an auction in the market.

If you want to enter the auction and obtain the qualification, you must own a business in Tiannan Market. Otherwise, even our Wang family does not have the qualification."

Wang Shan spoke.

At this time, Zheng Yi suddenly said: "Can't we hire other families to buy it on our behalf?"

When Wang Shan heard this, he was so angry that he almost cursed, but he turned around and saw that it was Zheng Yi.

This is the second-rank alchemist whom he relies on very much.

In the eyes of this old antique, Zheng Yi is a real second-grade alchemist because he can refine second-grade elixirs. No matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.

He forcibly changed his angry expression into a friendly one and explained, "Third Elder, you don't know that if we let other families go to the auction on our behalf and pay the spirit stones in advance,

There is a high possibility that the other party will turn against you and take the Turtle Blood Grass for themselves.

Even if they don't do this, the agency fees alone would probably be a considerable amount.

Anyway, our Wang family is now strong enough to join, so why not?
This will also help sell the many second-grade elixirs that the Third Elder had previously refined, so they won’t be wasted on others.”

Wang Shan said slowly.

It was not until this time that the elders in the family understood the many benefits and agreed with the ancestor's proposal.

When everyone was ready to leave.

Zheng Yi smiled slightly and said, "I guess the ancestor may soon break through to the late stage of foundation building. This Calming Pill may be helpful to the ancestor. I just refined it recently."

As he spoke, Zheng Yi raised his right hand, and a bottle of calming pills appeared in his palm.

The elixir was pulled by the spiritual power and soon floated into Wang Shan's hands.

Wang Shan opened it and saw that it was indeed a calming pill.

The Calming Pill has no effect on daily practice, but it can help with breakthroughs. It can make the person calm and steady like an old dog when making the breakthrough.

Even if the sky falls, he will not be moved, so all the spiritual power in his body is used to break through, and the effect is naturally excellent.

However, tranquilizing pills are extremely rare on the market.

It can be said that there is a price but no market.

Basically, they have been plundered by the inner sect elders and inner sect disciples of the Tianxuan Sword Sect. If one occasionally appears, it will be sold out in a very short time.

"As expected, you are the third elder of my Wang family!"

"Don't worry, Third Elder. The Wang family will never take advantage of you."

"The Third Elder can choose any item that can be exchanged for family contribution points at any time."

Wang Shan said loudly.

Once again, a bright future was painted for Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi bowed slightly to express his gratitude and left the ancestral hall.

He did not waste any more words with the first elder, the second elder and the clan leader, and went straight to Master Zhang.

Master Zhang glanced at Zheng Yi, and before he could speak, Zheng Yi said something shocking: "I wonder if Master Zhang is ready to break through to the foundation-building stage?"

"The foundation-building pill has been refined?"

Master Zhang raised his eyebrows and looked at Zheng Yi with a teasing look.

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "Although the foundation-building pill has not been made yet, the family will be able to gather all the foundation-building materials in the near future, and then we can start refining the pill.

I just want to give Master Zhang a heads up in advance."

"Thank you very much, Third Elder."

Master Zhang snorted and said to Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw this.

……

In Tiannan Market, disciples of the Wang family have moved in one after another in recent days.

The Wang family of Piaomiao Mountain directly acquired several shops on Tianyun Street. Various situations occurred during the process, some of which were forced purchases and sales, while others were fair transactions with no deception.

Others ask for sky-high prices only to drastically reduce them in the end.

However, with the intervention of the elders of the Wang family, these transactions were finally successfully concluded.

In this way, the Wang family of Piaomiao Mountain managed to take root in Tiannan Market and obtained the qualification to participate in the auction.

However, this move aroused the vigilance of the Li family of Qingshuichi and the Zhang family of Chiyangu.

"What on earth do the Wang family want to do?"

Inside Zuixian Tower, the patriarch of the Li family and the great elder of the Zhang family sat opposite each other.

The eldest elder of the Zhang family has reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, while the patriarch of the Zhang family is more like a mascot.

The fight for the position of head of the Zhang family was extremely brutal, unlike the peaceful and harmonious one of the Wang family.

The Zhang family's ancestor who was at the foundation-building stage basically didn't care about anything, which led to the younger generations showing off their abilities and causing serious internal consumption of the family's power.

After so many years.

Although the Zhang family still retains its vitality due to its strong foundation, it is unknown how long it can last.

The Zhang family's elder looked deep in his eyes and said, "The Wang family leader couldn't make up his mind about this matter. It seems that the Wang family's foundation-building ancestor has taken action.

What does he want to do?

The head of the Li family asked, "What else can be done?"

The Zhang family's elder showed disdain on his face, "Hasn't the Wang family been collecting materials for refining foundation-building pills recently?
The last time was at the auction for disciples within the Tianxuan Sword Sect.

Their Wang family was lucky enough to get a foundation-building pill, but unfortunately their young patriarch failed to break through. Although his foundation was not damaged, the Wang family was seriously injured.

Now they can only settle for the next best thing. The old ancestor of the Wang family left behind a lot of connections.”

The Qingshuichi Li family and the Chiyan Ancient Zhang family each have a profound heritage, and the Piaomiaoshan Wang family is equally strong.

"Then let's..."

The eyes of the head of the Li family flashed with golden light.

“Of course we have to cause some trouble for the Wang family.

Last time, the Li family lost a lot of soldiers and generals because of the Wang family, and even lost an elder!"

The elder of the Zhang family in Chiyan Valley took the opportunity to provoke: "Why, Patriarch Li will not forget this account so easily?"

"How is it possible! If it weren't for the fact that the three major families are still closely related, this hatred would have been avenged long ago.

Now that it has come to this time..."

Said the head of the Li family.

"That's good." The eldest elder of the Zhang family slowly stood up.

Seeing this, Patriarch Li quickly asked, "Elder Zhang, what are you going to do?"

“Attend an auction.

There are many good things in this auction. Although our Zhang family does not have many favors from alchemists, we are in urgent need of other items."

"Then I respectfully send Elder Zhang off."

Patriarch Li stood up and walked the eldest elder of the Zhang family to the door.

Zuixianlou was originally the property of the Li family.

After the eldest elder of the Zhang family left, the head of the Li family returned to the box and started cursing.

Subsequently.

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and he sneered, "Zhang Ran is so self-righteous that he actually used a strategy of sowing discord to instigate.

He wants to reap the benefits while being a fisherman. Does he really think that our Li family can't see through his intentions?
We are really being taken advantage of.

If it weren't for the Zhang family tipping off last time, how could our Li family end up in such a situation and become the laughing stock of Tiannan Market?"

The eyes of the head of the Li family were as deep as the abyss, making it difficult to fathom. "In that case, let's tell the head of the Wang family about this and let them have a good fight.

At worst, we can break up with the Zhang family. Regardless of whether the Wang family or the Zhang family is gone, our Li family can handle it in Piaomiao Mountain or even in Chiyan Country."

The head of the Li family spoke coldly, and the people below immediately took the order and left.

soon.

A communication talisman flew in front of the leader of the Wang family.

Tiannanfang City is already his territory.

The Great Elder received the message from the communication symbol, his expression remained calm.

He had anticipated this situation, and his family had already prepared countermeasures.

"What is coming will eventually come."

Elder Wang spoke, and the family members behind him immediately followed.

Soon, everyone arrived at the auction house.

Looking at the auction materials displayed on the stage one by one, Elder Wang looked calm and unmoved.

Anyway, these have nothing to do with them, and being envious will be useless. Elder Wang has always been clear about his attitude towards things that he cannot get.

"The next auction item is Turtle Blood Grass!"

On the central platform surrounded by many boxes, the auctioneer held a small wooden hammer in his hand and gently smashed it down. A muffled "bang" sound spread throughout the venue.

Then, a woman in revealing clothes with a skirt slit to the base of her thighs walked over, holding the turtle blood grass in her hand.

Right now.

Elder Wang's eyes fixed, and he made a direct offer: "Five hundred and ten spirit stones!"

This price was just the beginning. The next moment, someone in the field bid higher than him.

"Seven hundred and sixty spirit stones!"

"Seven hundred and seventy spirit stones!"

"Eight hundred and ten spirit stones!"

"Nine hundred spirit stones!"

"A thousand spirit stones!"

Elder Wang shouted again.

Although the Wang family is a third-rate family.

It is not as good as a second-rate family, but among third-rate families, the reserves of spirit stones are still quite sufficient.

Although no one knew to whom the ancestor sold so many elixirs, everyone in the Wang family firmly believed in the ancestor's channels.

The Wang family was established by the ancestor.

It is closely related to the ancestor, and there is absolutely no reason for the ancestor to harm the Wang family.

One thousand spirit stones is basically the market price of Turtle Blood Grass. If it is higher, it will not be worth it.

Just when everyone in the Wang family thought they had successfully bid for the Turtle Blood Grass, suddenly, a guest in one of the many private rooms that had been silent just now shouted loudly: "One thousand and one hundred spirit stones!"

Elder Wang's eyes were as fast as lightning, and he immediately looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

Then, another voice sounded: "One thousand two hundred spirit stones!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the Great Elder Wang, and he said loudly: "Please give our Wang family of Piaomiao Mountain some face today. Our Wang family wants this Turtle Blood Grass!

One thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

"What is the Wang family?
Are you qualified to make a fuss at the Tiannan Market Auction hosted by the Tianxuan Sword Sect?
Not qualified!"

The person who had been finding fault before spoke again, "One thousand six hundred spirit stones!"

Elder Wang did not respond, and the second voice sounded immediately: "Two thousand spirit stones!"

This price is double the original market price.

Seeing that the person bidding was not Elder Wang, the person who was finding fault stopped bidding.

"Congratulations to this guest in the box. The Turtle Blood Grass is yours!"

The auctioneer looked at the scene in front of him and was secretly delighted.

He liked to see customers bidding high prices for rare natural treasures. The better the performance, the higher the qualifications, and the more appreciation one would get from the higher-ups.

This is the value of their existence as auctioneers.

The Wang family failed to bid for the Turtle Blood Grass, and all the disciples of the Wang family were dejected.

The eldest elder of the Wang family had a calm expression.

Anyone who saw him couldn't help but secretly praise him in their hearts, saying that he was worthy of being the leader of the Wang family.

After arriving at the Wang family's alchemy shop in Tiannan Market, Great Elder Wang waited in the small courtyard behind the shop for a while before the young clan leader Wang Xingyin appeared in front of him.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Young Clan Leader, with this matter."

Elder Wang said.

“It doesn’t matter. Even if we buy this Turtle Blood Grass at double the price, it will still be a sure win for our Wang family.

Our Wang family is not short of spiritual stones, what we lack is this turtle blood grass."

The young patriarch was wise, and the great elder praised him seldom.

In fact, the Wang family had already made arrangements for the backup plan.

In each box, not only the young clan leader Wang Xingyin participated in the auction, but also several other clan members cooperated.

They deliberately raised the price and confused the public. As long as they could get the Turtle Blood Grass, they would ask the Wang family to do anything.

Moreover, since they failed to take the Turtle Blood Grass and could not refine the Foundation Establishment Pill for the time being, it would be better to paralyze the enemies surrounding the Wang family, which was another benefit for the Wang family.

"Please ask the young clan leader to take this turtle blood grass back to the clan. I can't go back now, otherwise I will be suspected by those who have ulterior motives."

Elder Wang solemnly handed the Turtle Blood Grass to Wang Xingyin.

Wang Xingyin nodded, left the tunnel of the courtyard, exited Tiannan Market, turned into a beam of light, and hurried back to Piaomiao Mountain.

I have to say that the Wang family’s strategy this time is indeed brilliant.

Perhaps in a big city, this method is not acceptable, but in this small Tiannan market, it is enough.

Although the arrival of Turtle Blood Grass did not alarm the ancestor of the Wang family, it alarmed the patriarch of the Wang family and the elders who knew about it.

Wang Xingyin handed the Turtle Blood Grass to Zheng Yi.

"Fellow Daoist Zheng Yi, everything that happens next depends on you.

This batch of Turtle Blood Grass is enough material for three Foundation Establishment Pills."

Zheng Yi looked calm. To him, it was nothing more than refining the foundation-building pill.

In his eyes, there was nothing special about the Foundation Establishment Pill. Under the control of his spiritual consciousness and the Golden Core Realm, it was no different from refining other pills.

As soon as Zheng Yi entered the box, the temperature in the Lihuo furnace rose to a high temperature.

At this time, several elders were pacing outside the Alchemy Pavilion, constantly muttering, "Can Zheng Yi do it?"

"The Third Elder should be confident?" (End of this chapter)
