The next day.
The Nie family's meeting hall was filled with people and excitement.
A group of Nie family members, old and young, gathered around Liu Yan of the Lingyun Sect, asking for help, hoping to gain Liu Yan's favor so that they could gain more opportunities for their children and grandchildren to join the Lingyun Sect in the future.
Liu Yan, who was dressed in a gray robe, was in the main position, with a smile on his face, talking to the Nie family at random, with some impatience in his eyes.
From the beginning to the end, Liu Yan never stood up, while the Nie family members around him bowed their bodies and showed humility.
At the entrance of the palace, members of the Nie family, with children around one year old, came in one after another.
Everyone who comes in will bring their children to meet Liu Yan first, and after introducing him with a smile on their face, they will greet the three elders of the Nie family who are also sitting next to Liu Yan.
Nie Donghai, his second brother Nie Beichuan, and his third brother Nie Nanshan maintained their identities and did not blindly fawn over Liu Yan. However, every time they looked at Liu Yan, they smiled brightly.
Different from yesterday, Nie Donghai's face was red today, he was in high spirits, and there was no sign of any injuries on his body.
"Nie Qian? Why are you bringing Nie Tian here?" At this moment, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded. Nie Lan, who had just introduced his child to Liu Yan with a smile, frowned and looked at him with an unhappy expression. The palace gate.
Nie Lan is the son of the second eldest brother Nie Beichuan and is the oldest in the second generation of the Nie family. However, his cultivation talent is not very good and he is only at the ninth level of Qi refining so far. He has never been able to break through the bottleneck and step into the acquired world.
Because of this, he had already given up on his own cultivation, and instead placed all his hopes on his three sons.
Now, his eldest son is eleven years old and is already at the seventh level of Qi refining. As long as he reaches the ninth level within four years, he will be favored by the Lingyun Sect and become a disciple of the Lingyun Sect. Then, with the help of the Lingyun Sect, After that, he was successfully promoted to the day after tomorrow, and he became prosperous from then on.
His second son is six years old and has now reached the fourth level of Qi refining. He has also shown extraordinary talent in cultivation and his future is worth looking forward to.
What he brought today was his youngest son Nie Hong, who had just turned one year old.
The births of his three sons were all carefully planned. When each of them was around one year old, they happened to coincide with the Nie family's five-year lottery meeting, and the first two times yielded extraordinary results.
This time it was Nie Hong's turn.
Following Nie Lan's soft drink, the eyes of all the Nie family members in the hall, young and old, all focused on Nie Qian and Nie Tian who had just entered.
"Brother, I will bring Nie Tian to participate in the lottery meeting." Nie Qian said loudly.
Next to her, Nie Tian had a tiger-like head and a tiger-like brain. They were both about one year old. Not only was Nie Tian a little taller than the other seven children participating in the lottery meeting, he was also clearly much stronger.
Under the gaze of everyone, Nie Qian looked somewhat uneasy even though her voice was high.
Nie Tian, on the other hand, opened his mouth and laughed, completely unaware of the evil looks coming his way. He seemed to enjoy the attention and had no stage fright.
"Nie Tian?" Nie Lan snorted, with a deep expression on his face, "Although his surname is Nie, that's because we don't know who his biological father is, so we can only give him the surname Nie. In fact, he is not from our Nie family. According to the clan rules, the grandson of the Nie family is not qualified to participate in the lottery meeting. Don't cause trouble, take Nie Tian away quickly, and don't waste Mr. Liu and everyone's time."
"Dad!" Nie Qian suddenly looked at Nie Donghai.
"No matter who my son-in-law is, before Jin'er left, he once said that Nie Tian's father voluntarily joined my Nie family, so Nie Tian is considered a child of my Nie family." Nie Donghai said in a calm and authoritative manner.
"Brother, as far as I know, you want to eat that unknown guy alive. These days, you have been talking about finding him and killing him at all costs." Nie Nanshan, the youngest of the Nie family, chuckled, "You Why did he suddenly change his attitude and admit his status as son-in-law? Also, getting married... also has to follow the rules, right? I don't remember that that person made an oath in the ancestral hall of my Nie family."
"Yes, yes, if you don't take the oath in the ancestral hall and complete the ceremony, you will definitely not be regarded as the son-in-law of the Nie family."
"Master, you can't just accept a guy with a deep hatred as your son-in-law just to let Nie Tian participate in the lottery meeting. You must know that he harmed Nie Jin!"
"Even if you are the head of the family, you can't ignore the clan rules and do whatever you want, right?"
“…”
In the hall, the direct and collateral members of the Nie family who brought their children all started shouting with dissatisfaction, accusing Nie Donghai of his disorderly behavior.
Every more child participating in the lottery means that their children may have one less chance, and they are naturally unhappy.
If it had been before, and Nie Donghai had not been seriously injured and his reputation was still there, they might not have dared to do this.
But now they all know about Nie Donghai's situation, and they also know that it won't be too long before Nie Donghai may continue to retreat in his realm and be forced to give up his position as the head of the family. Naturally, they will not continue to give him face.
Nie Beichuan, the second eldest son of the Nie family, sat on his chair, as still as a clock, listening to the noise in the hall, but had no intention of stopping it.
Just when the noise was getting louder and louder, Liu Yan from Lingyun Sect suddenly coughed lightly.
All the noise suddenly stopped.
Even Nie Nanshan, the third child who wanted to ask questions again, quickly shut up and looked at Liu Yan with a sly look on his face.
Liu Yan, who had a gentle and jade-like face, moved slightly and looked seriously at Nie Tian beside Nie Qian, "He is... my junior sister's son?"
While speaking, a trace of imperceptible pain flashed through Liu Yan's eyes.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Nie family suddenly remembered that Nie Jin, the second generation of the Nie family with the most amazing talent, had cultivated to the ninth level of Qi refining as early as ten years old, and was thus introduced to the Lingyun Sect in advance and became a A disciple of Lingyun Sect.
And Liu Yan was Nie Jin’s elder brother.
"Mr. Zhen, Nie Tian is the youngest son left by my poor sister." Nie Qian said sadly.
Liu Yan nodded lightly, took a deep look at Nie Tian with a complicated expression, and said warmly: "This time, I wanted to bring out five small gadgets, but my junior sister and I have an old relationship, so for Nie Tian's sake, I made the decision privately. What do you think of taking out the other two spiritual weapons I have hidden?"
He turned to look at Nie Beichuan and Nie Nanshan beside him.
"Since Mr. Liu has spoken, we will naturally obey his orders." Nie Beichuan said hurriedly.
Nie Nanshan also nodded quickly with a happy face and said repeatedly: "I listen to Mr. Liu."
The rest of the people had no objections.
"In that case, let's start the Nie family's lot-drawing meeting now." Liu Yan didn't waste any time. With a wave of his hand, seven rays of precious light suddenly flew out from the cuff of his left hand.
Seven rays of precious light, with different colors, instantly illuminated the Nie family's main hall with brilliance.
The precious light scattered on the stone floor in the center of the hall, turning into seven shining objects, including a sword, a knife, a fan, a glove, a wooden staff, a bead, and an animal bone.
All the Nie family members, young and old, took the initiative to give up the space in the center of the hall the moment the seven spiritual artifacts landed on the ground, and everyone immediately formed a ring to surround the seven artifacts.
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the seven exquisite spiritual weapons, and no one glanced at Nie Tian again.
Even the three Nie Donghai brothers stood up subconsciously at this moment, each emitting a wave of spiritual power in their bodies to sense the attributes and grades of the seven spiritual weapons.
The eyes of many Nie family members also shone, and they also sensed with the spiritual power in their bodies.
Blue, purple, red and blue, spiritual treasures of different colors flashed from the seven spiritual weapons one after another under the perception of the power of the Nie family's Qi Refiners.
"Low-level fifth grade!"
Nie Lan's eyes widened as he stared at the cyan bead that Liu Yan took out, and his breathing became short.
"God, is it really fifth grade?"
"According to convention, shouldn't all spiritual weapons be low-level third-grade ones? Fifth-grade spiritual weapons, even if they are low-grade, are of extraordinary value. They are awarded to true disciples by the Lingyun Sect. This time..."
"Mr. Liu is awesome!"
The cyan bead, under the perception of everyone's spiritual power, seemed to have lightning flashing inside it, making it more and more extraordinary and making the Nie family red-eyed.
Nie Beichuan, the second son of the Nie family, looked straight at the bead, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Nie Lan was his son, and Nie Hong was naturally his grandson. Not long after Nie Hong was born, he had secretly sensed Nie Hong's talent using secret techniques.
Due to his lack of realm, he used an additional extraordinary pill to be 70% sure that Nie Hong's body contained a trace of lightning properties.
And that low-level fifth-grade cyan bead is clearly a spiritual weapon that contains thunder and lightning and has exactly the same attributes as Nie Hong's cultivation.
Nie Beichuan's mind moved slightly. He hurriedly faced Liu Yan and bent down to say thank you: "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your kindness."
Everyone who came back to their senses, and after Nie Beichuan, thanked Liu Yan for his generosity.
Liu Yan waved his hand to signal everyone to be silent, and then said: "From now on, no one is allowed to use the spiritual power in their bodies to sense, and they are not allowed to disrupt the aura of the artifacts. Now, everything is left to the eight children to see their own Good luck.”
"Let eight children enter!" Nie Donghai said solemnly.
"Go!" Nie Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and finally let go of Nie Tian.
The moment those seven spiritual weapons landed on the ground, Nie Tian's eyes were shining brightly beside her, and he couldn't wait to rush into the arena. If she hadn't held Nie Tian's arm tightly, Nie Tian might not have waited for everyone to say anything. He should have rushed out.
At this moment, as soon as she let go, Nie Tian opened his arms and ran into the arena with a posture of embracing the world.
