On the 19th day of the fifth lunar month, Jiang Wang personally stood guard outside the Xia Mountain Villa and welcomed a guest who was not very good-looking.
There were many ugly people in the world, but Lian Que was the only ugly person who could be treated so warmly by Jiang Wang.
In the past, Lian Que had to secretly establish contact with Chung Geng Sheng through Jiang Wang to fight for the position of Family Head. Both sides had to secretly cooperate and borrow each other's strength.
Now that Chung Geng Sheng was ahead and Jiang Wang was famous in Qi, there was no need to hide their relationship.
Being on good terms with Jiang Wang was a very powerful bargaining chip in Lian Que's hands.
The Lian Family of Nanyao was the holy land of weaponsmiths and had some friendship with the owners of famous weapons. However, friendship was something that could be consumed. It was not a conventional force.
Because "Qi's weapons were in Chiyang and Chiyang's weapons were in Nanyao," the Lian Family had some connections in the military. Furthermore, Nanyao's weapons were all over the world, so they could be considered to have a lot of money.
However, the Lian Family did not have any powerful people. This was a hard problem that could not be erased. Yin Guan, who was still at the peak of the Outer Sect, had once threatened to exterminate the Lian Family. From this, one could see the strength of this family.
After all, the powerful people that were hired were not as good as the powerful people that were trained by their own family. If they hired powerful people that they could not control, they would have to worry about the turtledove taking over the magpie's nest. Sometimes, it was easier to invite the devil than to send him away.
Lian Que, Jiang Wang, and Chung Geng Sheng had all discussed before that the reason why the Lian Family could not produce powerful people was because of the life tablet system.
How could there be a powerful person in the world who could control their life and death?
However, they were not the only smart people who could see this point. The reason why the life tablet system still existed was because it was the foundation of the Lian Family's stable continuation.
It had already been integrated into the flesh and blood of the Lian Family. Every elder and every senior member of the family had vested interests in it.
If they wanted to change the life tablet system, they would have to challenge the interests of all the senior members of the Lian Family.
Cutting off one's path to wealth was like killing one's parents. This was a fundamental contradiction that could not be compromised.
Even with Lian Que's determination and Chung Geng Sheng's wisdom, they could only plan slowly.
The only way was for Lian Que to absorb and train a group of people who did not rely on the family system and hated the life card system, such as Lian Shao, to become the new higher-ups.
Only when this part of the power grew up could it be possible to complete the blood exchange from the inside to the outside and from the top to the bottom. On the premise that the Lian family was not destroyed, this holy land of weaponsmiths could be reborn.
And the premise of not letting people leech off the family system was to be able to open up a new source of income for them and show them a long-term future.
This was not something that could be accomplished overnight.
The long-term plan that Chung Geng Sheng had personally helped Lian Que was only focused on the fight for succession.
Of course, Lian Que already had the absolute upper hand in the fight for the right of inheritance.
After all, most of the Lian family's connections were in the military, and the Junggenjia's influence on the military affairs hall was one of the best in the entire Qi.
With the support of the Junggenjia's first successor, it would be difficult for Lian Que to lose.
Even if the current patriarch, Lian Zhuping, did not like him, and there were people like Lian Zhuping who were frowning at him, more and more family elders were expressing their support.
At present, it was obvious who could bring more benefits to them. After getting in touch with the Junggenjia, the soldiers who used to freeload and take while eating had decreased a lot.
Of course, once Lian Que exposed his idea of abolishing the life card system. The family elders who supported him now would all become his opponents.
"Here's what you want."
As soon as they met, Lian Que took out a cast iron box and handed it directly to Jiang Wang.
He was still as straightforward as ever. Other than hiding his dream of rebuilding the Lian family in the bottom of his heart, he could not hold back most of the time.
This iron box was also very ugly. The corners were not even smoothed out, and it was obvious that it was knocked out.
It was impossible that someone would use it to hold a gift.
Jiang Wang did not mind. He turned around and led Lian Que into the courtyard while opening the iron box.
Inside the cast iron box, there were five hollow, translucent spikes. These five spikes were beautifully made. The raw material came from the special bone spikes that Jiang Wang obtained from killing members of the sea race in the Bewildering World. That member of the sea race was not strong, but the bone spikes he left behind were very rare.
Jiang Wang looked at them and felt very satisfied. "You still know what it means to look good."
Yan Fu was a fastidious person. He should not despise them because they did not look good.
Lian Que said in a muffled voice, "I don't know much about this type of artifact. I asked an uncle to help me make it. "
He explained, "This set of Five Elements Restriction Awls will restrict fire elemental energy when it is injected with fire elemental energy and water elemental energy when it is injected with water elemental energy … It fully utilizes the characteristics of the raw material and can absorb all the elemental energy within a radius of five miles in one breath. Of course, there is an upper limit. The upper limit depends on the limit of the elemental energy that the awls can absorb. "
"Outside the tower?" Jiang Wang asked.
Lian Que nodded. "More or less."
"How much is it worth?" Jiang Wang asked again. "How does it compare to talismans like the Water Forbidding Talismans in the Outside Tower?"
Lian Que was an honest person. He said truthfully, "The price of talismans is a bit exaggerated now. It's only worth about three to four hundred pieces. However, according to its true value, it's worth at least a thousand Water Forbidding Talismans. "
Jiang Wang nodded. No matter what, it was already good enough that it could match the value of the box of talismans and not cause Yan Fu to suffer a loss.
He played with the awls while praising, "Your uncle's craftsmanship is really good. The price of hiring him will be increased by ten percent. Later, you can ask someone to calculate it directly with the Desheng Trading Company. "
Desheng Trading Firm was quite rich now, so Jiang Wang's confidence in his words had increased a lot.
Lian Que did not stand on ceremony. "Deal."
He then looked at the Sauvignon Blanc on Jiang Wang's waist and grinned. "You raised it well!"
As the most talented weaponsmith in the Lian family and the creator of the Sauvignon Blanc, he could naturally see the changes in the sword at a glance.
Jiang Wang took it off and handed it to him. "Take a look."
Lian Que held it with both hands as if he was holding a child. He cherished it very much. The Sauvignon Blanc did not reject Lian Que and did not make a sound.
This sword was made by him and he became famous because of it. Naturally, it was fate that brought him here.
"Great, great." He was grinning from ear to ear. "This is the world's most famous sword!"
Previously, Lian Que had specially designed a nurturing method for the Sauvignon Blanc. All this time, Jiang Wang had strictly followed that method to nurture the sword without stopping.
This was also an important reason why the Sauvignon Blanc could give birth to a sword spirit so quickly.
Lian Que's nurturing method mainly used the divine power seeds.
Now that Jiang Wang had three divine power seeds, he could rotate them endlessly. Naturally, he nurtured the sword better.
The man nurtured the sword, and the sword nurtured the man.
"It's all thanks to your nurturing method." Jiang Wang smiled. "You came at the right time today. Coincidentally, a friend of mine in Beiya wants to invite me for a drink. Let's go together."
No matter how bad Lian Que was at socializing with people, he knew that Jiang Wang was trying to pull strings for him. It was needless to say how important the relationship with the Capital City Patrol Office was in the Qi Department.
He had the dream of rebuilding the Lian family, so he could not only focus on weaponsmithing.
"Okay!" A polite smile immediately appeared on Lian Que's ugly face.
