…
The vigorous woman in red armor and black collar who escorted Wang Shouye away was naturally not someone else, but Wang Shouye's fourth sister Wang Luotong.
Wang Luotong is now twenty-seven or eight years old, but he looks like he is only twenty-four or five years old.
Her temperament became more and more calm and charming, like a peach with a fatal charm. But the trace of murderous aura that she inadvertently leaked gave people a dangerous beast aura.
The current her is completely different from the delicate and aggrieved girl who stood in front of Wang Shouzhe back then.
"Fourth sister."
As soon as he returned to the room, Wang Shouye immediately saluted Wang Luotong respectfully, and then took out the spiritual tea he had treasured, and began to make tea for his sister.
Although he is a direct lineage of the Wang family, the treatment in this alchemy workshop is no different from that of alchemists of the same level, and the room is also standard.
However, his room was very carefully arranged. A few simple decorations, a few calligraphy and paintings created a warm atmosphere, and it could be seen that a lot of thought was spent on it.
This also reflects Wang Shouye's character from the side, patient, meticulous, able to endure hardships, and sees ingenuity in subtleties.
This is also the reason why Wang Shouzhe singled him out among many Wang's children to learn alchemy.
After brewing the tea like flowing clouds and flowing water, Wang Shouye held the tea cup in both hands and offered it to his sister Wang Luotong: "Fourth sister, it's time to prepare for autumn and winter hunting this season, right? Why do you have time to visit me today?"
Autumn and winter hunting has always been a traditional hunting festival for the Xuanwu family.
On the one hand, it can supplement the spiritual food for the clansmen, and on the other hand, it can also train the new generation of young people, reminding them not to forget the hardships and achievements of their ancestors in opening up wasteland.
Nowadays, many Xuanwu families, especially those in prosperous areas, have regarded autumn and winter hunting as a pure festival, and rarely go deep into the outer domain to explore and hunt fierce beasts, but the Wang family has always insisted on this. item tradition.
Wang Luotong has always been a loyal supporter of autumn and winter hunting. She actively participates every year, prepares carefully, and performs very well.
That's why Wang Shouye wondered why she came to him at this time.
"I have something important to do, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go hunting in autumn and winter this time." Drinking spirit tea, Wang Luotong still did not forget to tease the seventh younger brother, "The two girls just now look pretty good, why don't you take them together?" , give our family more children."
Wang Shouye's face turned red, and he begged for mercy with a wry smile: "Fourth sister, don't tease me anymore. I just want to make a good alchemy, and try to earn back the money lost by the family as soon as possible. They spend all day Messing around in Danfang has caused other colleagues to have a lot of opinions on me, and I am already very distressed."
"You~ Don't be so burdened with your mind." Wang Luotong smiled and comforted, "Any family who wants to cultivate an excellent alchemist will inevitably invest a lot of money in the early stage. You and those alchemists who signed contracts to enter the alchemy workshop It’s different, your task is to master the second-order pills as soon as possible, and in the future, even the third-order pills, and the fourth-order pills. When you refine the fifth-order ‘Heavenly Spirit Pill’ one day, our family will be awesome.”
"Fifth-order elixir!" Wang Shouye's face was broken, and he smiled wryly, "Fourth sister, I am under more pressure now. My master Ning Chao Patriarch, who has been immersed in alchemy for a lifetime, can only refine the third-order elixir , and only slightly profitable. The fifth-order elixir, that is impossible. Always losing money, I feel uncomfortable."
"Don't worry, don't worry." Wang Luotong sipped the spirit tea, his eyes filled with smiles, "You are only twenty years old and you are about to start refining second-order pills, and you will only lose more in the future. When you lose seven After 80,000 dry gold, it is estimated that you will be able to refine the third-order pill, and if you lose hundreds of thousands of dry gold, you will be able to refine the fourth-rank pill. The family will always be your steadfast backing!"
"%￥*&#…"
Wang Shouye's eyes turned white, he looked up to the sky and whined, my name is Wang Shouye, why do I look like a prodigal king now! The more he was comforted by the fourth sister, the more pressure he felt in his heart.
"Fourth sister, I can make money by refining the first-order Xiaopeiyuan pill." Wang Shouye said weakly, "After this furnace, I can earn ten thousand gold. And my proficiency will become higher and higher. I will be able to earn twenty or thirty thousand gold. I want to subsidize the family's consumption by refining the Xiaopei Yuan Pill."
"One furnace of ten thousand gold, you need to waste two days." Wang Luotong shook his head and said, "In this way, you have to work hard for a month or two before you have a chance to refine a second-order elixir, and it takes decades to become a A qualified second-tier alchemist. What your fourth brother means is that you should start trying to refine third-tier alchemy as soon as possible in ten years."
A batch of second-tier elixir usually costs two to three hundred dry gold. If the refinement is useless, it will be lost.
Especially in the early stage, the probability of a full furnace being scrapped is not small.
As the level and proficiency increase, one or two second-level pills can be slowly produced, which can be regarded as slowing down the speed of loss.
However, if one can become a mature second-tier alchemist, he can earn at least tens of thousands of gold by opening a furnace of alchemy. If he is lucky, he can even earn one or two hundred thousand gold.
At that time, if Wang Shouye concentrated on refining the second-order elixir, he would be a money-making machine. It only took seven or eight years at most to make up for all the previous losses.
At that time, Wang Shouye was only about forty years old.
But it is very obvious that this kind of achievement is not what Wang Shouzhe wants. He doesn't need Wang Shouye to make money at all, he only needs him to burn money to speed up becoming a third-level or even a fourth-level alchemist.
"Then I can only refine first-level pills occasionally to keep the feel." Knowing that the fourth brother has a big heart, Wang Shouye said helplessly, "Fortunately, I have refined more high-level pills. The understanding of pills will also increase."
"You can't relax in cultivation, you should train your stove boys well, and let them watch the fire on weekdays." Wang Luotong reminded, "Your fourth brother trained you from the same day, and an alchemist can't be trained. Easy, naturally, the longer you live, the better."
As a result, Wang Shouye's pressure was even greater.
However, he also understands the fourth brother's thoughts. To cultivate him as an alchemist regardless of the cost, the goal is at least a fourth-level alchemist, and maybe even a fifth-level alchemist. He must be expected to walk the path of heaven and man.
Otherwise, after finally becoming a qualified Tier 4 alchemist and dying of old age before making any contribution to the family, wouldn't that be a big joke
"I will work hard to live up to my fourth brother's expectations." Wang Shouye said with a solemn expression, and then he changed the topic to Wang Luotong, "Fourth sister, what about yourself? Over the years, there has been no one you like. object?"
"No." Wang Luotong said bluntly, then glanced at Wang Shouye, and couldn't help laughing, "I can't help it, it's all because the boys in the family are too good. Your fourth brother won't talk about him, just Take Shouye as an example, you are already in the middle of the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm at the age of twenty, a mature first-level alchemist, and you are so handsome and personable."
"Looking at the entire Changning Guard, even if it's the direct descendant of those aristocratic families, who can compare to you? This makes the fourth sister how can she look up to those crooked melons and dates? Sigh, brothers and sisters are too good, and they are also heavy. burden~"
"Uh..." Wang Shouye shook his head helplessly and said, "Then fourth sister, are you not planning to get married?"
"It depends on the situation." Wang Luotong smiled generously, "Anyway, I want to go to the Lingtai realm, otherwise I will not be reconciled for the rest of my life. The big deal is to choose a pleasing recruit from casual cultivators, so as to add some blood to the family. "
"That's right, Fourth Sister, you are so outstanding, I'm afraid it's really difficult for ordinary direct-line children to like you. But I believe that there will definitely be fate belonging to Fourth Sister." Wang Shouye changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this for now. It's over. This time, the fourth sister came to Changningwei, but she has something important to do? Is there anything I need to help you?"
"Your fourth brother sent me to Qianma Town to take over Huangfu's fixed assets. I passed by Changningwei, so I stopped by to see you and encourage you." Wang Luotong laughed, "Don't worry, Xiaohan this time The old ancestor will go to sit in the town, and I, Shouyong, and Zongwei will help in the past."
Let's do it.
That is naturally Wang Luotong's humble statement.
In fact, as an ancestor, Xiaohan's ancestor would not do everything by himself, and the real management still depends on Wang Luotong, Wang Shouyong, Wang Zongwei and other juniors.
For the younger generation of the family, as long as they are determined to grow up, Wang Shouzhe has always spared no effort in cultivating them. His requirements are also very high, and they need to have sufficient training to be able to stand alone.
This is also impossible.
The family is developing too fast, and there are not many people in the family. Naturally, Wang Shouzhe has high requirements for the younger generation.
With high standards and strict requirements, the results are also gratifying. Now, the younger generation of the Wang family have all experienced and practiced, and initially have the ability to stand alone.
This time, it was time to test the abilities of Wang Luotong, Wang Shouyong, and Wang Zongwei.
is talking.
Suddenly the voices of two girls came from outside the house: "Is Shouye here?"
"Again..."
Wang Shouye slapped his forehead, quite speechless.
He just wanted to make a pill quietly, why is it so difficult
In desperation, he walked out of the room, bowed his hands to the two girls, and was about to send them away with a few perfunctory words.
Suddenly.
Outside the door, a group of young people in fancy clothes rushed in with a "hula-la".
The leader was a young man in his twenties.
He is wearing a luxurious basalt suit, a jade crown on his head, and a sword hanging from his waist, with an awe-inspiring demeanor.
Seeing Wang Shouye, Lei Yanyun, and Huangfu Qianqian standing together, his face suddenly darkened.
"Brother, why are you here?" Lei Yanyun's pretty face changed.
The man she called "Brother" had a stern face: "Lei Yanyun, do you still know that I am your brother? As the daughter of the heavenly Lei family, you are so disregarding your status, it is embarrassing here."
"Brother, why am I ashamed?" Lei Yanyun's pretty face turned pale, and she retorted softly and aggrievedly, "I have a man I like, so what's wrong? Even my father didn't say anything about me."
Wang Shouye recognized that this man in fine clothes was Lei Bowu, the second son of the current Lei family.
In Changningwei, Lei Bowu was one of the top dandies, with such a great reputation that almost no one would dare to mess with him.
And Wang Shouye has never had much contact with him.
"Lei Yanyun, what nonsense are you talking about?" When Lei Yanyun dared to refute, Lei Bowu was furious, "The family raised you to support you, not to make you act recklessly. Don't you know? ? An Yuanwei's family of heaven and man, Zhang, has come to our house to propose marriage."
"Anyuan Tianren Zhang!?"
Lei Yanyun's delicate body trembled.
Anyuanwei is an acropolis north of Changningwei.
Once upon a time, when Changningwei was still a wild land, Anyuanwei was the frontier of Dagan, and this is also the origin of the city's name.
Compared with Changningwei, Anyuanwei has a much longer history, and the Tianren Zhang family is also an old family of Tianren with a profound heritage.
She and Lei Bowu's great-grandmother, Mrs. Zhang, came from Miss Zhang's lineage in Anyuan. Not surprisingly, my father would most likely agree to this marriage proposal.
Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly showed a look of determination: "It's just to propose a marriage, and my father hasn't agreed yet. I'll go to my father right away, whether he is the Tianren Zhang or the Tianren, I don't want to." marry."
After all, she was anxious and wanted to go out.
"Presumptuous! Stop for me." Lei Bowu was extremely angry, "Don't you just like that kid Wang Shouye? Let's not say that the Pingan Wang family is just an eighth-rank family. This kid is not even a direct descendant. How can he be worthy? on you?"
"I forbid you to say that about Shouye!" Lei Yanyun stomped her feet angrily, "Shouye is much better than you imagined."
"Excellent?" Lei Bowu sneered, "Since you said he is excellent, then I will give it a try."
After all, he looked at Wang Shouye with a bad expression, and with a "clang", he drew out his long sword and pointed it at him.
"Little boy, draw out your sword and let me measure your abilities."
Wang Shouye was speechless for a while.
He just wanted to refine a pill in a peaceful manner, why is it so difficult
He was about to say no.
Unexpectedly.
Lei Yanyun directly rushed forward to block him, opening her arms, like a hen guarding her chicks: "Brother, you are six or seven years older than Shouye, and you have already reached the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm. You, you are bullying people!"
"Hmph! Didn't you say he is excellent?" Lei Bowu sneered again and again, "Why, don't you even have the courage to fight with me? It's just a silver pewter gun head, which looks good but doesn't work. It's a trick to fool you ignorant girl."
As he said that, he pointed his finger at Wang Shouye again: "Wang Shouye, you'd better go back to Ping'an Town early, otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you. Why, are you not convinced? If you are not convinced, you can go back and talk to your brother Wang Shouzhe..."
"Shut up!"
Wang Shouye was also angry.
Lei Bowu said he could do it, but the fourth brother couldn't!
He stretched out his hand and pushed away Lei Yanyun in front of him, with a serious expression and a sharp look in his eyes: "Lei Bowu, you deserve to call my fourth brother by his name? Don't you just want to learn from each other? I will help you." !"
After all, he stretched out his hand and was about to draw his sword.
But before his hand touched the hilt, it was pinched by a jade hand.
At the same time, a lazy and coquettish voice sounded in his ears: "Shouye, you are an alchemist, so you don't want to fight this kind of fool."
Fourth sister
Wang Shouye was stunned for a moment, and saw Wang Luotong walking out from behind him in a leisurely manner.
She is dressed in red armor and black, with a heroic bearing and a bit of ferocity and wildness, her aura is much stronger than that of Wang Shouye.
She looked Lei Bowu up and down with her phoenix eyes, and snorted softly: "You don't even look like a dog, and you dare to yell at my brother? You and I are about the same age, since you must please Hit, I can do what I can, and beat you up."
Lei Bowu's expression froze slightly: "Who are you?"
"Ping'an Wang, the fourth daughter of the 'Luo' generation, Wang Luotong." Wang Luotong casually grabbed the hilt of the sword, and put the sword and scabbard in front of him, and said lazily, "Please enlighten me."
Her posture seemed a little careless, but her body seemed to be loose and tight. This is the ability she has cultivated from hunting ferocious beasts for many years, just like a female leopard ready to go, it can deal a fatal blow to the opponent anytime and anywhere.
"Okay, okay! What a daughter of the Wang family, she dares to yell at my son-in-law." Lei Bowu laughed angrily, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
Although he is a playboy, he is still the second son of the Heavenly Man Lei, and the pride in his bones cannot be trampled on by anyone.
With a flick of his long sword, he suddenly pointed at Wang Luotong: "Changning Lei, the seventh son of the 'Bo' generation, Lei Bowu, please enlighten me!"
