From the fake emperor to the concubine

Zheng Yi closed his eyes.

He looked inward at his internal condition, pursed his lips slightly, and left the training courtyard.

……

In Tiannanfang City, the residence of the Piaomiao Mountain Wang family is located on the east side of Tianbao Pavilion.

Today, the Wang family no longer lives in the old house as before, but has deliberately sought this place as the new cornerstone for the family's development, showing a different atmosphere from other third-rate families.

Zheng Yi came here.

After seeing the young master Wang Xingyin, he said, "Please ask the young clan leader to help me find these herbs."

As he spoke, he handed over a list.

Wang Xingyin looked at the dazzling array of medicinal herbs on the list, many of which he, the young patriarch who grew up in the cultivation world, had never heard of or seen before.

He couldn't help but become curious and asked Zheng Yi, "What kind of elixir will the Third Elder use these herbs to make?"

Zheng Yi smiled bitterly, with a bit of helplessness on his face, and said: "It is a magic pill to repair my spiritual body.

If I can find all these herbs, my spiritual body will be fully restored, and then I can break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Otherwise, I am afraid I will only be able to stay at the ninth level of Qi Refining in this life."

"I see."

After hearing this, Wang Xingyin did not ask further questions about Zheng Yi's spirit.

After all, it's in the Wang family.

It has long been no secret that Zheng Yi's spirit is special. Just like after Master Zhang's situation was exposed, a third-rate family like the Wang family would be treated as such as long as there was no grudge.

Most people are still happy to accept capable people like Zheng Yi.

"Leave this to me. It just so happens that I owe the Third Elder a lot of favors."

Wang Xingyin patted his chest with a firm tone.

"Thank you very much, Young Clan Leader."

Zheng Yi bowed his hands in thanks. Although he had a smile on his face, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

After Zheng Yi left.

Not long after, a figure quietly appeared.

He is the eldest elder of the Wang family who is currently the most powerful, has the highest status and the most experience except for the ancestor.

The Great Elder possesses top-grade spiritual roots and is somewhat confident of reaching the crystallization realm in the future. He, along with the Young Clan Leader, Wang Xingyin, the Wang family's ancestor and others, are all important figures in the Wang family.

"The Third Elder's spirit body is actually defective."

The great elder walked into the conference room, looked at Wang Xingyin, and spoke slowly.

Wang Xingyin sighed helplessly and said, "No wonder he joined my Wang family before.

It seems now.

At that time, he should have been looking for a place that could be used, slowly making preparations, and finally taking root in my Wang family.

I just don’t know if I can find all the herbs on this list.”

The Great Elder took a look at the medicinal herbs and couldn't help feeling worried.

But on second thought, the sadness turned into joy.

After all, if Zheng Yi's spirit body was really completely repaired and broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, a small family like the Wang family would probably not be able to keep this great Buddha.

But if Zheng Yi can be prevented from breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage for a long period of time, the Wang family can continue to maintain the existing cooperative relationship with him.

When the day comes that the ancestor of the Wang family breaks through to the Crystallization Realm, even if Zheng Yi's spirit body recovers and breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Wang family will still be able to enjoy the many conveniences he brings.

The Great Elder did not hide his thoughts, but told Wang Xingyin all of this openly: "This matter cannot be concealed by one person alone, and you, the young clan leader, are the first to bear the brunt.

You must think carefully about this matter, as it concerns the fate of our Wang family.

The Third Elder has now reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, but today he suddenly proposed to repair his spirit body and refine pills. Do you know why?"

Wang Xingyin was not a stupid person, and he understood after a little thought: "The Third Elder is about to break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining.

In addition to the few foundation-building pills he had left in his hands, as well as the high-quality spiritual roots his spiritual body possessed.

He is planning to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage."

After realizing this, Wang Xingyin's face was full of helplessness.

Once Zheng Yi breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, coupled with his identity as a second-grade alchemist, the relationship between the Wang family and Zheng Yi will probably change.

By then.

Even if Zheng Yi was willing to stay in the Wang family, the Wang family would no longer treat him with the same attitude as before.

In the long run, it will be hard to say who the Wang family belongs to.

After all, a second-grade alchemist can bring so much help, and Zheng Yi is about to marry the children of several elders of the Wang family.

Over time, it is difficult to predict how the relationship between the two sides will develop.

This is something that the Great Elder and Wang Xingyin, as core figures of the Wang family, must consider.

Wang Xingyin raised his eyebrows, looking doubtful, and asked, "Do you want to discuss this with the ancestor?"

in fact.

He already had the idea of ​​leaning towards the Wang family.

He lowered his head.

With a guilty look on his face, he said, "The Third Elder has deep feelings for my Wang family, and even more so for me."

“That’s why we have to find a way to get the Third Elder to stay in our Wang family, so that our Wang family can better repay his kindness.

The ancestor is now in the late stage of foundation building, and it will probably take three to five years for him to break through to the peak of foundation building.

With the help of Elder Zheng Yisan, it can be accomplished in three to five years.

But without this second-grade alchemist, my Wang family would have to rely on the Tianxuan Sword Sect and hand over a certain amount of resources to that true disciple every year.

Without the huge amount of resources provided by Zheng Yi as a second-grade alchemist.

It will probably take the ancestor three to five years to reach the peak of foundation building.

Moreover, Qin Liang from Hongchenfang has always been eyeing our Wang family.

Although our Wang family is stronger now, we still have a long way to go before we can achieve stability."

"Young Patriarch, the fate of the Wang family depends on you."

As the great elder spoke, he praised Wang Xingyin one compliment after another.

"I understand, Great Elder."

Wang Xingyin nodded heavily and said firmly, “But I will still collect these herbs one by one.

When the ancestor breaks through to the crystallization stage, he will immediately hand over this herb to the Third Elder Zheng Yi."

"That would be the best. My Wang family is also willing to see the Third Elder successfully break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. After all, my Wang family is a righteous force."

The Great Elder smiled slightly.

At this moment, Zheng Yi naturally never expected this.

His original unintentional act was just to test Wang Miaomiao's sincerity, but it triggered potential conflicts between the Wang family and him in advance.

Zheng Yi walked on the street outside Tianbao Pavilion, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

It is true that "when you try to plant flowers, they don't bloom, but when you plant willows by accident, they grow into a shade."

But at this moment.

Zheng Yi had not guessed the Wang family's thoughts. Everything would have to wait until he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage before it would be settled.

Zheng Yi's figure vaguely fell into the eyes of Liu Ruyan in Tianbao Pavilion.

The manager on the second floor has a pretty face, skin as white as snow, a curvaceous figure, and is wearing pink clothes. A beauty mole at the corner of her mouth adds to her charm.

She twisted her waist and walked gracefully to Liu Ruyan, a staff member on the first floor, with just the right arc. Her posture aroused people's hearts all the time.

"You little girl still took advantage of me.

This young man who came to our attic before is no ordinary person.

He is a third-rank alchemist and has now broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. He is also the famous third elder of the Wang Family in Piaomiao Mountain.

According to the information we got from inside Tianbao Attic.

He also has some connection with a second-rank alchemist.

The reason why the Wang family has been able to have Foundation Establishment Realm experts break through in recent years is closely related to him."

Sun Ming, a charming and beautiful woman, exuded the charm of a mature and beautiful woman, her figure swaying and radiant. After hearing this, Liu Ruyan blushed, like a ray of colorful clouds.

But looking at Zheng Yi who was about to leave.

A hint of sadness flashed across her brows again.

"A person like this will definitely break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage in the future. I'm afraid I am not worthy of him at all."

"Whether you are worthy or not, you still have to give it a try after all."

As Sun Ming spoke, he walked out of Tianbao Pavilion.

He came to Zheng Yi and stopped him, then smiled gently.

Zheng Yi looked at her puzzledly.

I don't know what she intends to do.

“If you have anything you want to buy, please come to our Tianbao Pavilion.

The goods here will surely satisfy you.”

Hearing the words of this pretty woman, Zheng Yi's heart moved.

He had indeed seen the goods in Tianbao Pavilion before and was quite impressed.

Recalling the list of medicinal materials just now.

Zheng Yi nodded calmly and followed Sun Ming into the attic.

Zheng Yi took another piece of paper, copied the application list again, and handed it to the manager on the second floor in front of him.

Most of the medicinal materials on the list are commonly found on the market.

Although some of them are relatively rare, they can still be found if you search carefully. Especially for a big force like Tianbao Pavilion, it is not a difficult task.

As for the previous intention to test Wang Miaomiao.

It was just a sudden whim that Zheng Yi came up with, and he just treated it as a small test.

After all, human nature cannot be speculated, nor can it force people into a desperate situation.

"These medicinal herbs are not easy to find."

The pretty and charming lady Sun Ming smiled sweetly, but still spoke to Zheng Yi confidently, "But don't worry, sir, we at Tianbao Pavilion can still handle this business.

Once you find these herbs, you can contact the people in our attic."

Sun Ming said this and winked at Liu Ruyan.

Zheng Yi glanced at Liu Ruyan and nodded silently.

But his eyes lingered for a moment on her pink skirt, her taut waist, her swaying curves, and her shapely long legs. Her figure was just like the century-old stalactite he had seen before.

Full of natural beauty.

Zheng Yi's mind suddenly became active.

Sun Ming turned around.

He looked at Zheng Yi meaningfully and went upstairs with light steps.

Zheng Yi no longer paid attention to her.

When their eyes met, Zheng Yi just smiled slightly.

At this time, Liu Ruyan also walked up to Zheng Yi, talked with him for a while, and then Zheng Yi left.

As a second-rate manager, Sun Ming quickly came to a young man in Tianbao Pavilion.

Looking at Zheng Yi's departing back.

She smiled delicately, her laughter as clear as a silver bell: "The third elder of the Wang family is quite interesting, but he is a playboy."

"Could it be that he had some thoughts about our Manager Liu just now?"

"Bai Yu" suddenly spoke, and at first glance it sounded like a man's voice.

Sun Ming approached the "man" intimately and said coquettishly, "Could it be that Sister Bai is jealous?"

The man called "Bai Yu" opened the folding fan in his hand, and with a "swish" sound, an exceptionally handsome face was revealed. Although he had a feminine aura, he did look like a man.

I guess he used some treasure to completely conceal the woman's aura.

In the spiritual world.

Such treasures are not uncommon. Zheng Yi had indeed seen one or two when he was in the Starry Sea.

……

If Zheng Yi fails to repair his spiritual body, he will not be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

This news was not widely publicized in the Wang family.

If he really did this, Wang Xingyin would be branded as unkind and unjust, which would inevitably arouse public anger.

But the problem is.

News like this could not be hidden from the core members of the Wang family.

Piaomiao Mountain King’s Family!
In the courtyard of the second elder.

The second elder frowned, his former ease was gone, replaced by deep worry.

He called his granddaughter Wang Miaomiao to the study and said slowly: "Your marriage with Zheng Yi may change."

The second elder has not made up his mind yet, so he plans to give the final choice to his granddaughter.

"what happened?

Is there something wrong with the clan leader or the ancestor?"

Wang Miaomiao's expression changed, she gritted her teeth, her face full of determination and indignation.

Before the second elder could explain.

She rushed forward and asked loudly, "Grandpa, now you are also a Foundation Establishment Realm expert of the Wang family, why do you still want to be held hostage by them?

My marriage with Zheng Yi.

The two of us have already decided on it, and now many people in the family know about it.

If he were to die like this, I'm afraid I, your granddaughter, would no longer have a place to stand in the Wang family."

The Second Elder naturally understood what Wang Miaomiao said.

He sighed and said, "Zheng Yi may not be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

If this is true, are you still willing?
Failure to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage means that his life span is only two decades. However, for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, if he practices well and does not get injured, his life span can be four decades.

There will be a huge gap between the two of you."

The second elder laid this cruel reality nakedly before Wang Miaomiao.

After Wang Miaomiao heard this, her mind was struck by thunder and she became dizzy. For a moment, she could not believe that such a thing could happen.

He stood there in a daze.

The Second Elder looked at his granddaughter like this, how could he not know what she was thinking.

He just sighed secretly, said some comforting words, patted Wang Miaomiao's right shoulder, and said slowly: "Think about it carefully, I'll give you one night, and tell me the result tomorrow.

In front of a Foundation Establishment Realm expert, everything else seems illusory."

Say it.

The second elder slowly left, and the sound of his footsteps gradually disappeared from Wang Miaomiao's ears.

Wang Miaomiao seemed to have lost her soul.

until the next day.

She did not even appear in front of the Second Elder, as if this represented her decision.

The second elder looked at the empty study.

I couldn't help but sigh, feeling mixed emotions.

He didn't say anything final last night, he just analyzed the reality, and his granddaughter was already like this.

Although he also tended to favor such an outcome in his heart, when it really came to this, he couldn't help feeling a sense of grief for the other party.

Zheng Yi, who was supposed to be the granddaughter's son-in-law, ended up like this. If I end up like this one day, I'm afraid there will be no good ending.

The second elder couldn't laugh or cry.

Not long after, she made up her mind, came to Zheng Yi, and returned the marriage certificate. (End of this chapter)
