Chapter 1023: Friend's Advisor

Qin Xiao said, "I heard that your fellow Taoists have added a few members to your Zhang family, but you didn't even bother to treat us to a meal."

"Okay, okay, then I'll treat you this time, just to celebrate the birth of your baby."

Xu Luobai laughed and said, "The spiritual vegetables in this Dao Shizhen Restaurant are not cheap. Since Brother Zhang is willing to treat us this time, we are going to make a fortune."

Henry Zhang waved his sleeves and said, "Order whatever you want. We won't leave until we're drunk this time."

Xu Luobai and Qin Xiao joined in the fun and ordered a lot of high-level monster meat and spiritual medicinal ingredients.

Wang Zijun paid attention to Zhang Xuan's expression and behavior, and asked, "Brother Zhang, have you encountered any troubles recently?"

Zhang Xuan was stunned, thinking that Wang Zijun was indeed very observant.

I didn't expect this to be apparent.

At this time, Xu Luobai and Qin Xiao also looked at Zhang Xuan.

"Alas," Zhang Xuan sighed, "something happened."

"Brother Zhang, tell us what you think. Maybe we brothers can help you. Even if we can't help you, we can still give you some advice." Qin Xiao said.

Zhang Xuan looked at his three good brothers and nodded slightly, "It's like this, I have six children now, but I only have five... five spiritual objects to improve the root bones, the palms and backs of my hands are all flesh, I don't know how to divide them."

"So that's how it is. I have quite a few elixirs in Yue Man Lou that can improve one's physique. Brother Zhang, just take one." Xu Luobai said directly.

Wang Zijun glanced at Xu Luobai and said, "The spiritual object that Brother Zhang has in his hand that can improve his physique is probably not an ordinary item. Otherwise, with Brother Zhang's current power and cultivation, what spiritual object that can improve his physique can't he get in the Holy Land? And he wouldn't have to worry like he does now."

Henry Zhang nodded and said, "That's true. Thank you, Brother Xu, for your kindness."

Qin Xiao said, "This is the bad thing about establishing a family. With limited resources and a large number of people, there will inevitably be the problem of uneven resource distribution. People like me who have been the only heir for three generations don't have this problem. I can't give Brother Zhang any advice, but Brother Luobai and Brother Zijun both come from large families, so they should be able to give Brother Zhang some good advice."

When they heard that it was about the allocation of family resources, Xu Luobai and Wang Zijun both looked solemn.

There is no kinship in the family, especially in a large family.

They also broke through the intrigues and deceptions among many families, so naturally they know the ins and outs.

The two looked at each other, and it was Wang Zijun who asked first: "What are the roots of these six children?"

"One top-grade spiritual root, three high-grade spiritual roots, one mid-grade double spiritual root, and one low-grade five-element mixed spiritual root." Zhang Xuan said truthfully.

Wang Zijun took a deep breath and said, "If this happened in other families, it wouldn't be a problem for the family head at all."

"You mean to ask me to give up that child with low-grade five-element mixed spiritual roots?"

"No, I'm not suggesting you do this. I just want to say that if the head of a large family encounters this kind of situation, he will not hesitate to give up the child with low-grade five-element mixed spiritual roots, and even the child with medium-grade dual spiritual roots. Not to mention that there are five spiritual objects that can improve root bones, even if there are six spiritual objects that can improve root bones, it will not be the turn of the child with low-grade five-element mixed spiritual roots. Anyway, the head of a large family will distribute it this way. As for Brother Zhang, you naturally have your own situation and ideas, and you have to make your own decision."

"But..." Zhang Xuan hesitated a little, "I like that child with low-grade five-element mixed spiritual roots very much, and his mother's family is poor..."

"My mother's family is poor..." Wang Zijun smiled bitterly, "My mother was born in a small family and married into the Wang family as a concubine. Even though I have outstanding talent in cultivation since I was young, I still cannot get the attention of my family and father. It can be said that every step I take now can only be achieved by myself."

After hearing what Wang Zijun said, everyone nodded slightly.

Indeed it is.

When Wang Zijun came out of the secret realm of Shanhaijing, he was burdened with a foreign debt of 30 high-quality spirit stones because he did not get the positioning coordinates.

In theory, the Wang family is a big family, and a small amount of foreign debt is nothing to them.

Moreover, Wang Zijun also brought out a large number of spiritual materials from the secret realm of Shanhaijing, which were very valuable.

However, the Wang family helped Wang Zijun pay off his debts, but asked Wang Zijun to serve in the Zhengxi Division.

You know, those years were when the fighting between Dongming Treasure Territory and Cangwu Treasure Territory was the most intense.

Not to mention that Wang Zijun was just a Jindan at the time, even the death of Yuanying cultivators on the battlefield was commonplace.

This shows how harsh and cold-blooded the Wang family is towards Wang Zijun.

And all this is just because Wang Zijun's mother's family is poor.

Fortunately, Wang Zijun worked hard and made many military achievements after entering the Zhengxi Division. Not only did he earn enough resources to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, but he was also highly valued by the Zhengxi Division.

Now, the Wang family, especially Wang Zijun's father, wants to get closer to Wang Zijun.

Wang Zijun did not refuse this.

However, the Wang family had disappointed Wang Zijun back then.

It's okay to help the family, but he would never let Wang Zijun work for the family.

At this time, Wang Zijun was silent for a while.

He really couldn't give any advice.

It would be fine if this child, whose mother was poor and had low-quality five-element and mixed spiritual roots, lived a mediocre life.

However, if you encounter an opportunity one day in the future, you will soar into the sky.

At that time, will the child forgive his father for the choice he made?

At this time, Xu Luobai asked, "Are there any girls among these six children?"

"Two girls, one with a top-grade spiritual root, and one with a dual-attribute middle-grade spiritual root."

"Is that child with low-grade five-element mixed spiritual roots a girl?"

"It's a boy."

"If it was the Xu family, this wouldn't be a problem at all. As the old saying goes, a married girl is like spilled water. No matter how much resources you put into training her, it's just a wedding dress for others. A person with low-grade mixed spiritual roots of the five elements is still your son, no matter how poor his spiritual roots are. A son can inherit his bloodline and legacy..."

Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "Brother Xu, your Xu family is a business family. It is understandable that you value male offspring, but a real big family will treat female offspring equally. Even if female offspring are married off, they are still an important part of the family. With higher cultivation, the family's influence will be greater. Sometimes, an outstanding female offspring can win over a medium-sized family."

Wang Zijun nodded and said, "Brother Qin is right, it is indeed true."

Next, the three of them analyzed the situation again.

They drank several jars of spirit wine, but still couldn't come to a conclusion.

However, Zhang Xuan also listened to everyone's words.

Although the brothers did not express it directly, their meaning was very clear.

The child with inferior five elements and mixed spiritual roots may be the one who needs to be abandoned.

Zhang Xuan did not refine the spiritual wine, and returned to his home courtyard drunk.

He called out his fellow Taoists again, his body swaying and his mind groggy, and said, "I have decided which children I want to refine high-level True Spirit Blood."
