From the fake emperor to the concubine

It was a pity that the clan leader’s wife suffered severe damage after giving birth to the young clan leader, and even elixirs could not make up for it, so she passed away early. Otherwise, the Wang family would now have another reserve force who was at least at the Foundation Establishment stage.

"now."

The second elder closed his eyes and thought, his mind churning with thoughts.

“I’m afraid that after the family collected the second batch of foundation-building materials, the number of foundation-building pills they refined was limited. When distributing them, those with more might get three pills each, while those with less might only get two.

Even if you have a top-grade spiritual root, if you want to get two foundation-building elixirs, not only do you need to have enough family contribution points, but more importantly, it depends on whether the third elder is willing. "

The second elder continued to talk, and every word he said was like a blunt knife cutting Wang Miaomiao's regretful heart.

“In the Third Elder’s courtyard, there is also the First Elder’s granddaughter.

She also has a mid-grade spiritual root, so she must have a share of these three foundation-building pills.

Add to that the Third Elder himself, and Young Clan Leader Wang Xingyin, so even if the second batch of Foundation Establishment Pill materials collected are the same as the first batch…"

At this point, the Second Elder sighed quietly, "Foundation-building materials are extremely rare, so it's not that easy to search for them.

When Zheng Yi successfully breaks through to the foundation-building stage, the family will definitely focus more on refining foundation-building pills for practice to enhance the family's strength.

But if the family tries to do two things at once, the number of foundation-building pills produced in the next batch will inevitably be very small.

Even if you get it, it is still unknown whether you can succeed in breaking through.

This is the helplessness on the path of cultivation. "

……

The atmosphere was completely different from that in the Second Elder's courtyard.

In the manor of the great elder.

"If it wasn't because my father had intentionally arranged a marriage between me and my husband, I would not have had the opportunity to cultivate to the foundation building stage now?"

Today, Zheng Yi accompanied the fifth lady of the mansion, Wang Manman, to return home. During lunch, Zheng Yi took a rest at the great elder's manor. The father and daughter also took this opportunity to have a good reunion, which led to this conversation.

“This is all your destiny.

How can a father interfere forcibly? "

The great elder said with emotion, “Daughter, you have a mid-grade spiritual root. If there were no such marriage, you might still have a chance after the family’s second batch of foundation-building materials are used to refine the foundation-building pill.

But given the quality of your spiritual roots, you really cannot ignore the situation on the Third Elder's side.

So this marriage has changed your destiny.

If you break through to the foundation-building stage in the future, don't forget to serve the Third Elder. That is your greatest support in the future, understand?"

The great elder said slowly.

Wang Manman lowered her head, her heart already filled with joy and excitement.

End of return.

On the way back.

Wang Manman held Zheng Yi's hand tightly, which made Zheng Yi feel a little strange.

Zheng Yi smiled and asked, "Did the Great Elder just tell you something?
I always feel like there’s something a little weird about you.”

“My father told me to serve my husband well because my husband is the only one who can bring honor to our family.

And my father was able to successfully break through to the foundation-building stage, thanks to you, my husband."

"Thank you, we are a family."

Zheng Yi smiled gently.

"Uh-huh."

Wang Manman held Zheng Yi's hand tightly, feeling sweet in her heart.

The two returned to the mansion and had a good rest.

During this period, Zheng Yi absorbed the pure silver energy, and his lifespan increased by fifty, seventy, and one hundred and twenty-two years respectively.

The night passed.

……

In the Alchemy Pavilion, the underground fire was burning fiercely.

As the foundation-building elixirs came out one by one, Zheng Yi stopped refining.

Subsequently.

He rested openly in front of the Lihuo furnace in the Alchemy Pavilion.

As each foundation-building elixir was absorbed, Zheng Yi's body shone with spiritual light, and spiritual energy spread in the nearby air, turning this box into a paradise on earth.

After repeated breathing exercises, Zheng Yi has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Now, it is almost one step away from building the foundation.

Zheng Yi calmed his mind and stabilized his state of mind.

As soon as he left the Alchemy Pavilion, a figure quickly appeared in front of him with a "swish".

It turned out to be the young patriarch Wang Xingyin.

He was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was haggard, his beard and hair were very long, and he looked quite like the "Sharp Brother" in Zheng Yi's impression.

"Young Patriarch, what kind of performance art are you doing?"

Zheng Yi asked with a helpless smile.

Wang Xingyin glanced at Zheng Yi with resentment and wanted to complain a few words, but he really couldn't find any fault with Zheng Yi's alchemy skills.

Three portions of foundation-building materials were used to refine eleven foundation-building elixirs. Even a top-notch second-grade alchemist might not be able to achieve this level.

How could his family and he personally have the face to ask for more?
Wang Xingyin took great effort to free himself from his tangled emotions and asked, "Third Elder, please tell me what materials our family needs to refine the foundation-building pill?"

Zheng Yi realized something, smiled lightly, and said: "There are quite a few things missing. In addition to the three extremely rare materials mentioned above, there is also..."

Zheng Yi listed the names of the herbs he needed one by one. After hearing this, the young clan leader Wang Xingyin's eyes turned blank.

Zheng Yi said, "Now that our family has many strong people in the foundation building realm, we can directly annex the nearby Qingshuichi Li family and Chiyan Valley Zhang family, so that we can buy more shops in Tiannan Market.

By then, the ancestors in the late stage of foundation building will come forward and naturally be able to obtain more auction qualifications.

By that time, the family business was booming, and they had earned a lot of money from spirit stones. They bought a foundation-building pill from the auction and gave it to the young patriarch.

With the young clan leader's spiritual root aptitude, a mid-grade foundation-building pill should be enough to help him break through."

In just a few words, Zheng Yi came up with another idea for the young clan leader Wang Xingyin.

In fact, this method is not complicated, but Wang Xingyin, due to the limitations of family planning, only focused on Zheng Yi and ignored other ways.

Zheng Yi’s words at this moment.

It was like a wake-up call, making Wang Xingyin excited.

He muttered to himself like a madman in front of Zheng Yi: "Yes, it can be done this way. If so, it shouldn't take too long. There's still time, still time..."

Available soon.

He became depressed again, "A Foundation Establishment Pill costs at least three thousand spirit stones to buy a low-quality one, and a medium-quality one costs five thousand.

Where did I, the young clan leader, get so many spirit stones?"

"Don't you have any, patriarch?"

Zheng Yi muttered in a low voice.

"Yes, and my father!"

Wang Xingyin realized this and ran away madly.

He had indeed forgotten that there was this trick of "living off parents". Previously, he was living off the savings of the head of the Wang family who was in the Qi Refining Stage. Now, naturally, he had to live off the savings of his old father, the head of the Wang family who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Can he still be considered a son if he doesn’t rely on his parents for support?
Zheng Yi just took a step forward.

I don’t know what day it is today, the magpie didn’t call, but old friends appeared in front of me one after another.

Look, Wang Miaomiao is here too.

She looked at Zheng Yi shyly.

"Senior sister, is something wrong?"

Zheng Yi asked.

Wang Miaomiao lowered her head, with two ponytails, which swayed slightly as her body swayed, looking very cute. "Thank you for what happened yesterday.

If it weren't for you, grandpa would really kick me out of the house and clean up the mess."

"The Second Elder is just angry."

Zheng Yi smiled and said, "Senior Sister, you don't have to take this to heart."

"In a few days, the family will go to Tiannan Market to assign managers to the newly opened and expanded shops.

If the Third Elder is free, could you please go with us?

The family plans to send two Foundation Establishment Realm experts and the ancestor to garrison there, while the clan leader and another Foundation Establishment Realm expert will be in charge of Piao Miao Mountain, so nothing should go wrong.

Third Elder, don't you want to go and see the scene of Tiannan Market?"

Wang Miaomiao twisted her body, fiddled with the corner of her clothes with her little hands and invited him.

The alchemy apprentices nearby were all surprised when they saw this.

They knew too well how Wang Miaomiao behaved before. She was cold and aloof like a flower on a high mountain, but now she was so enthusiastic towards Zheng Yi and even took the initiative to invite him.

You know, Zheng Yi already has five wives in his family.

"I'm afraid I can't accept Senior Sister's kindness. I have to go back to accompany my wife."

Zheng Yi smiled and declined.

Wang Miaomiao excused herself and left.

Looking at Zheng Yi, who is polite and has the same temperament as before, he did not become arrogant and lustful just because he became the family's second-grade alchemist. He is no different from the past.

Wang Miaomiao squatted down, feeling extremely regretful, and kept blaming herself in her heart: "Wang Miaomiao, why were you so arrogant before?

Grandpa wanted you to be with him, but you refused. Now you have brought this upon yourself."

Wang Miaomiao squatted on the spot, sobbing softly in grievance.

The alchemy apprentices nearby knew it.

This situation is not something they can comfort. What the girl needs is the comfort of the person she likes.

If they approach, they will only be regarded as harassment.

Zheng Yi naturally didn't know at this time.

Wang Miaomiao had such a big reaction just because he casually refused.

He goes home.

Now, the three ladies in the mansion who have no spiritual roots have grown older. In addition to their daily practice, they have begun to manage the Alchemy Pavilion and other business affairs entrusted to Zheng Yi by the family.

The daughter of Master Zhang who has spiritual roots.

He did not focus on alchemy, but instead focused on spiritual plants.

She was originally a spiritual plant master. With the intentional or unintentional allocation of resources from Zheng Yi and her family, she has now achieved success and become a third-grade spiritual plant master.

It can just provide the Alchemy Pavilion with top-quality medicinal materials.

However, she had low-grade spiritual roots, and although she was eager to break through to the foundation-building stage, after she reached the middle-grade spiritual roots by filling her spiritual roots, she began to suffer from serious leakage of spiritual energy.

Currently, no one in the cultivation world has been able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage through this, so she no longer holds out hope.

At this time, only Wang Manman could discuss cultivation matters with Zheng Yi.

"Husband, I just came back from my father's place. My family is planning to arrange for you to run the alchemy shop in Tiannan Market. I wonder if you are interested?"

Zheng Yi returned home.

Wang Manman stood on tiptoe, leaned against Zheng Yi intimately, and asked obediently.

"It's Tiannan Market again."

Zheng Yi muttered to himself, and then said, "It is enough to practice in the family. It doesn't matter whether I go to Tiannan Market or not."

The strongest person in Tiannanfang City is only at the peak of foundation building and has not yet reached the crystallization stage.

Zheng Yi didn't feel it was dangerous, and this time the team was led by Wang Shan, the ancestor of the Wang family who was in the late foundation building stage, so the danger would naturally be greatly reduced.

"But my husband can't stay in the Alchemy Pavilion forever and be trapped in the Wang family."

Wang Manman grabbed the corner of Zheng Yi's clothes.

"You want to go?"

Zheng Yi asked softly without waiting for Wang Manman to reply.

Then he continued according to her meaning, "You have to convince your husband first."

Wang Manman bit her lower lip and walked towards Zheng Yi gracefully. After thinking for a long time, she said, "Although my husband is now a member of the Wang family and gets along well with everyone, his surname is not Wang after all.

Moreover, Master Zhang has now broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Regardless of whether my husband intended to do so or not, the Wang family would inevitably be on guard against him and Master Zhang.

Therefore, my husband should make preparations early. Developing industries outside the Wang family is the most effective way."

Zheng Yi raised a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth and looked at Wang Manman.

Wang Manman said hurriedly: "Although I am a member of the Wang family, I am more of my husband's person."

Hearing this, Zheng Yi responded: "Then follow your wishes."

Zheng Yi agreed to Wang Manman, and Wang Manman happily stayed in Zheng Yi's arms for a while longer.

The beauty’s kindness is so great, how could Zheng Yi easily let her down?

He is not a heartless person.

Four days later, the spirit ship of the Piaomiao Mountain King's family was ready to set sail.

Ancestor Wang Shan, who was in the late stage of foundation building, poured his spiritual power into it. A group of Wang family disciples boarded the spirit ship, and after choosing their rooms, the spirit ship sped towards Tiannan Market like a flying wine cup.

Zheng Yi watched Wang Manman tidy up the room, while he walked to the window and admired the scenery below along the formation.

When the spirit ship left Piaomiao Mountain and arrived at the mountain range, everyone had to walk forward.

The previous Elder Wang has now reached the eighth level of Qi Refining and is as powerful as Zheng Yi.

But with his previous spiritual power, although he could control a spiritual ship, it was definitely not a ship hundreds of feet long like the one in front of him. At that time, his spiritual power was simply not enough to support it.

Zheng Yi looked down and saw beautiful mountains and clear waters, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland, which was in no way inferior to the Qingyunxiao he had seen before.

"I thought the Third Elder would stay in the family forever, but today he intends to go to Tiannan Market without making any noise."

The ancestor of the Wang family appeared beside Zheng Yi at some point with a gentle smile on his face.

“You should always consider the people around you.”

Zheng Yi said.

After hearing this, the Wang family's ancestor immediately felt relieved.

“The so-called cultivation of immortality is more about seeking survival than pursuing longevity.

Even practitioners are no different from ordinary people in this respect.

When facing death, people will always burst out with an unprecedented strong desire to survive. Driven by this desire, everyone continues to climb on the path of cultivation.

Unfortunately, throughout history, only a few people have been able to successfully climb up and ascend to the fairyland.

But life is short, and the process of chasing and climbing is what is most important.”

"The ancestor said something wonderful."

Zheng Yi praised.

"Hahahaha, you're just repeating what others have said.

After all, I have lived for more than a hundred years. Now I can break through again, thanks to the help of the Third Elder. I have an extra fifty years of life. Perhaps I can still try for the crystallization realm.

I wonder if the Third Elder could lend me a helping hand again?"

The ancestor of the Wang family said a lot of preparatory words, and at this moment he finally revealed his intention and looked at Zheng Yi meaningfully.

Zheng Yi did not agree or refuse immediately, but just said: "Grandmaster, you think highly of me. Refining the foundation-building pill is the limit of my current ability."

“Hahahahahaha…” (End of this chapter)
