Chapter 26 Selected

A blue-robed old man who was over seventy years old walked in. The blue-robed old man had a ruddy complexion, white beard and hair, and a pair of tiger eyes that were not angry and majestic. He was not easy to fool at first glance.

If you observe carefully, you can find that the facial features of the blue-robed old man are somewhat similar to those of Wang Mingyuan.

The old man in the blue robe is Wang Mingyuan's father, Wang Yaozu, and Wang Changsheng's grandfather.

Wang Yaozu is seventy-five years old this year, with three spiritual roots and seven levels of Qi refining. He is responsible for liaising with other forces. For example, when the head of the Wang family's in-laws celebrates his birthday, Wang Yaozu will bring people to congratulate him when he receives invitations.

"Father, why did you come back so soon? Aren't you going to visit your friends?" Wang Mingyuan asked in confusion with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Wang Yaozu blew his beard and stared, and said angrily: "If my sister-in-law hadn't reported the letter to me, I would have been tricked by you to visit a friend. You invited your second brother out to hold such a big meeting on purpose to support me. Let’s open it! If I hadn’t come back, I’m afraid Changsheng wouldn’t be selected!”

"Look at what you said, the candidates are recommended by uncles, and it's not up to me to make the decision." Wang Mingyuan felt a little guilty.

Wang Yaozu gave Wang Mingyuan a white look, and said, "I am your father and the elder of the Wang family, so I have the right to speak!"

"Of course, but the final decision rests with the uncles."

"I knew you would say that, second elder brother, sixth younger brother, eighth younger brother, as the saying goes, you don't avoid relatives if you are worthy, and it is true that Changsheng is my grandson, but Qing'er once worked in the Shenbing Pavilion in Ziyuefang City I have been a craftsman apprentice for ten years, and I have instilled a lot of knowledge about crafting in my son since I was a child. If I only look at theoretical knowledge, I don’t think anyone of my peers knows more than Sheng’er. Let’s not deny this! He has been stationed in Ping'an County for three years. By chance, he discovered a vein of black gold. It is not too much to give him a chance! If he is mediocre in the assessment, there is no need to train him to be a refiner. Otherwise, he should focus on training, you say? What!" Wang Yaozu said slowly.

"Father, Sheng'er has made great achievements in discovering the black gold veins. The clan will definitely reward him well. There is no need to give him a quota! It's hard to convince people." Wang Mingyuan showed embarrassment.

"You don't avoid relatives when you are a virtuous person. It is right for you to be fair, but you have to be fair. If your son is not your son, he can't be selected? Besides, my sister-in-law has been an apprentice in the Shenbing Pavilion for ten years. , I should have met some people. If my son becomes a craftsman, when we buy refining materials from Shenbinge in the future, Qing'er can help us match up and enjoy some discounts. Son's knowledge of crafting is solid, so he can't If you are selected, why are other people selected? Tell me a reasonable reason."

"This..." Wang Mingyuan was speechless, looking at Wang Yaozong.

Wang Yaozong thought for a moment, and said: "Anyway, there are five places, and there is a second round of assessment, so it will be counted as one for longevity, and there are four places left. I would like to add that the recommended candidates must be three spiritual roots, and it is difficult to cultivate fake spiritual roots." , even if trained as a first-level craftsman, the cultivation base cannot keep up, and the level of craftsmanship is not easy to improve. In addition, clansmen who are proficient in other skills cannot be selected. They must be over eighteen years old and under fifty years old. Pick out ten clansmen who meet these conditions, and then select four people who are better, and by the way, immediately transfer Changsheng back and send someone to take his place."

"Yes, Second Uncle, I will summon the son later and ask him to come back as soon as possible. Let's pick out ten people from the tribe first."

After half an hour of discussion, ten clansmen were finally selected.

After the meeting was over, Wang Mingyuan and Wang Yaozu came to the study. Liu Qing'er had already prepared snacks and tea and waited for a long time.

"Father, how is it? Has the baby been selected?" Liu Qing'er asked impatiently, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation.

"Naturally, I will succeed immediately. Speaking of which, if you hadn't informed me, I would have been kept in the dark! Mingyuan, shouldn't you give me an explanation for my father? My father is the elder of the royal family anyway. You call the family Why would you want to transfer Weifu away?" Wang Yaozu asked with a straight face.

Wang Mingyuan smiled bitterly, and explained: "Father, I transferred you because I was afraid that you would recommend Changsheng. I don't want people to gossip."

Wang Yaozu rolled his eyes and reprimanded unceremoniously: "Gossip? What is there to talk about? There are five places, and Sheng'er only occupies one of the places. He discovered the black gold vein. It is too much for Sheng'er to occupy one of the places? Is it natural for other people to be selected? You don’t shy away from relatives, you let your son go to Ping’an County to serve as a celestial master, I can tell you what you did wrong? Putting aside the fact that your son is your own son, if you choose a member of the clan to train Craftsman, the child will definitely be selected."

Liu Qing'er nodded and said: "That's right, since the birth of my son, I have been instilling the knowledge of weapon refining in him every day, just for this day! But can the clan train five refining masters at the same time? Training one refining weapon The cost of a master is not a small amount, let alone training five refiners at the same time."

"Of course it is impossible to train five craftsmen at the same time. First select ten clan members, select five people to train for a period of time, and then conduct assessments, leaving the best two to focus on training." Wang Mingyuan explained.

Liu Qing'er immediately smiled, and urged: "Since the son has been selected, quickly transfer him back!"

"Second Uncle has already given orders, this is what you want."

"What are you talking about? This is a decision made by the clan. I want to go out as a father. Let me remind you that you can be strict with your children, but you want a bowl of water to be treated equally. You just care too much about other people's gossip. , the rumors stop at the wise, when you were elected as the head of the family, the sixth brother and the others complained in private! But you acted fairly, which convinced them, and the same is true for the child, if he passes the examination, he can be trained as a refiner , other people will not talk nonsense." Wang Yaozu warned meaningfully.

"Father is right, as long as the son can become a craftsman, other people will not gossip! You should transfer the son back quickly, I will teach him what I learned in the Shenbing Pavilion, I hope he can Become a craftsman." Liu Qing'er was eager to try.

Wang Mingyuan smiled wryly and agreed repeatedly.

"I'll fix a book right away, and let the baby come back immediately."

······

Ping'an County, Lianhua Island.

As the sun sets, the evening glow puts a golden cape on Lianhua Island.

Wang Changsheng sat in the stone pavilion, holding the "Compendium of Artifact Refining" in his hand, reading it with great interest.

Now he has memorized the basic knowledge of refining and the characteristics of hundreds of first-level refining materials. As long as he has the refining furnace, refining materials and spiritual weapon map, he can try refining.

"Uncle Ninth, send a message within the clan." Wang Qiusheng walked over quickly, holding a letter in his hand.

There was only one line in the letter: Hurry back to Qinglian Mountain, Father Wang Mingyuan.

"Go back to Qinglian Mountain quickly? What happened in the clan? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Wang Changsheng frowned, with some doubts in his eyes.

It has been less than half a month since he came back to Lianhua Island, and it is not like his father's style to transfer him back so soon.

"Qiusheng, are you sure it's a subpoena from within the clan?" Wang Changsheng asked solemnly.

"Yes, the carrier pigeons used in the family are different from ordinary carrier pigeons. They are indeed used as messengers within the family."

Receiving Wang Qiusheng's affirmative answer, Wang Changsheng was a little happy.

"Look at Lianhua Island. I want to go back to Qinglian Mountain. If there is any important matter that cannot be resolved, I will send a message to the clan." Wang Changsheng ordered, put away the "Compendium of Refining Artifacts", his lips moved a few times Suddenly, a white cloud emerged out of thin air, lifted him up, and flew towards the sky.
