"Brother Wang Zai has accumulated his Noble Spirit for many years. It's only a matter of time before he attains Dharmakaya. Why do you care about worldly things? Aren't you afraid of delaying your cultivation?" Song Quanlve restrained his previous gaffe and hid his sadness deeply. He looked sideways at the courtesan, asked her to leave the room and closed the door.
Zhang Yuanli took off the ice cicada silk glove and placed it on the table. He poured himself a cup of Worriless Wine and said with a smile, "The Wang family inherited from the benevolent saint. Educating and helping the world is the right thing to do."
"In the past, the Political Affairs Hall and the imperial court were controlled by the aristocratic families. Ordinary people didn't have many opportunities and were indifferent to the Academy. Now that the world has changed and the emperor is ruling, the Wang family has a chance. Wang Zai became the head of the mountain, which has immeasurable benefits for the cultivation of Noble Spirit. It is said that he can also collect and refine some Qi of Morality and Virtue of the Sage to lay the strongest foundation for Dharmakaya."
He had never been able to cross the third step of the Celestial Ladder and become a Great Grandmaster. It was difficult for his "Outer Universe Flaming Yang Chapter" to produce Yin and Yang and harmonize them. Therefore, he often wore transparent gloves made of thousand-year-old ice cicada silk and other heavenly materials and earthly treasures to neutralize the Flaming Yang Qi in his body. This was to prevent any accidents and Qi deviation.
Song Quanlue was stunned for a few moments before he sat opposite Zhang Yuanli and poured himself a cup of wine. He let out a long sigh and said, "At that time, the Ranking List was a gathering of stars. Although Brother Wang Zai was in the top ten, in terms of talent and opportunity, he was far behind the Primitive Emperor, the Demon Emperor, and the Taishang Supreme Sword. I didn't expect him to be so close to transcending the mortal world and become a celestial …"
"Hey, Brother Song, alas, it's better to call you Quan Liwei. You're too proud and arrogant. You're too obsessed with the glory of the Song enterprise in the past. You only want to prove your Dharmakaya and revive your family. That's why you always blame yourself and always feel sad about the past. I'm afraid that even your inner demons have been born." Zhang Yuanli had a clear view of the situation and advised, "Look at me, I accepted the reality that the Zhang family of Longnan is just an ordinary aristocratic family. I helped my father make full use of the family's past accumulation and current resources. With the help of the Myriad World Access, I established many businesses and lived a good life. Now that I'm standing with you, it's like we are two generations apart!"
Song Quanlue's facial muscles twitched as Zhang Yuanli hit the nail on the head, "But, but …"
"But what? The emperor was already a Legend. In a few months, the Qing Emperor would bestow the List of Deification and complete the great cause of humanity ruling the world. At that time, it was unclear whether people like the Star Lord Thunder God could be conferred. At the very least, there would be many Star Lords and True Monarchs. The number of Legends in the Great Zhou Dynasty would increase by leaps and bounds. Even if you achieved Dharmakaya, you were just a Man Fairy. Can the Song enterprise return to the status of a member of the Political Affairs Hall and have a certain authority over the world affairs? "Zhang Yuanli poured a basin of cold water unceremoniously.
Song Quanlue's face turned pale and after a long while, he said, "The Qing Emperor hasn't granted the List of Deification yet, there might be some changes …"
"Changes? What changes will happen when the only Nirvana Realm bigwig who walks in the world takes action personally? " Zhang Yuanli took a deep breath and continued, "Quan Lue, our clans and sects have missed the best era. No one was able to achieve Dharmakaya at that time. Now, we have been left far behind and it's hard for us to regain our former glory. You can't catch up with us alone. This requires the cooperation of the clans, generation after generation, to have a chance."
Song Quanlue's face turned serious and asked, "Yuanli, what do you mean? What should I do?"
The Worriless Wine in Zhang Yuanli's hand was bubbling and boiling. He said solemnly, "Give up your pride and recognize the reality. Follow the rules set by the Emperor and work hard. Those who are not good at martial arts will participate in the Military Selection and those who are good at politics will focus on the Literary Selection. Then, the remaining talents will be selected to run the family business and not sit idle. As the accumulation from generation to generation, the Song family of Luyang will have connections in the imperial court. In the future, there will be outstanding children who will be in high positions and there will be clergymen like the Earth God and the City God."
"As long as we persevere and the family's reputation does not fall, there will always be a chance for the children to achieve the Legendary realm or be bestowed the title of Star King. There will be a chance for the Song family to regain its glory. Compared to those who are born ordinary, or even those from ordinary families and small sects, we have the Heavenly Weapon, experienced elders, all kinds of treasures and resources, mines, medicine gardens, spiritual springs and fields.
"There will definitely be exceptions, but the general trend will not change!"
Song Quanlue looked at Zhang Yuanli and was lost in thought. After a long time, he shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at in a new light. I have always been conceited and looked down on you. Who knew that you would think more thoroughly than me and do things more dependably."
"Hehe, this reasoning is easy to say, but we, who have experienced glory, are easily blinded by the past and turn a blind eye to it. I also met Brother Wang Siyuan and received a few words of advice from him. Only then was I suddenly enlightened and persuaded my father," Zhang Yuanli said with a smile.
"Brother Wang Siyuan?" Song Quanlue said in surprise.
Zhang Yuanli nodded and said, "Yes, Wang Siyuan, the Ledgerkeeper of Lives, the guy who made the Wang family of Jiangdong fall. I don't know if he is a genius or a madman!"
"After he achieved Taoism, he disappeared from the world. I can't believe he is still alive …" Song Quanlue could not help but sigh.
Zhang Yuanli frowned slightly and said, "When I met him, he was fine except for his illness. When he said goodbye, he said that he was going to do something crazy. If he failed, he would die. If he succeeded, he would be able to truly become the Ledgerkeeper of Lives."
"What happened after that?" Song Quanlue asked subconsciously.
Zhang Yuanli shook his head, "I never saw him again, nor did I hear any trace of him …"
Song Quanlue was silent for a moment. The wrinkles at the corner of his eyes suddenly relaxed and he chuckled, "You came from Long Nan and didn't use the Myriad World Talisman to communicate. I'm afraid you wouldn't come without a reason, right?"
"Haha, for a business deal." Zhang Yuanli laughed and said, "I dare not lie to you. I can't stop the Earth Sword of Life and Death and the Virtuous Blade!"
Speaking of this, his face turned serious, "The Nine-leaf Sun-returning Grass only grows in Nan State and Huan State near the Southern Wasteland. It is a good material for refining life-prolonging elixirs. The goods of Nan State have always been controlled by the Song family of Lu Yang. After years of evolution and integration, Huan State finally belongs to the Tang family of Yi City. They don't want to fight with Brother Quanlue's family pointlessly. Coincidentally, a business deal involves my family, so I've been asked to be a lobbyist. They hope that everyone can take out the Nine-leaf Sun-returning Grass and the related elixirs business and rebuild a business with your family as the leader."
"Of course, my family also wants to be a part of it."
Song Quanlue pondered for a moment and said, "The Tang family of Yi City was unknown before. Which family or sect is behind it?"
"Well, the Wang family from Zhou County and the Huanhua Swords Sect have taken care of the Tang family of Yi City," Zhang Yuanli said frankly.
Song Quanlue thought for a moment and said, "Then let's invite the guest of the Tang family in. Let's talk face to face."
Zhang Yuanli clapped his hands and smiled. He stood up, opened the door and walked out. After a moment, he came in with a beautiful woman in a palace dress.
"This is Fairy Tang, the Master of the Tang family, Tang Mingyue." Zhang Yuanli introduced.
Tang Mingyue still had the bright eyes and white teeth of her youth, but she had more maturity and elegance accumulated over the years. The subtle wrinkles at the corners of her eyes added some indescribable charm to her. Hearing this, she saluted and said, "Master Song."
Song Quanlue took a deep look at her and said with emotion, "The Tang family of Yi City was unknown in Huan State before. But under the leadership of Fairy Tang, it suddenly rose and grew rapidly. I really admire it."
This sentence was said with emotion and it was sincere and touching. It actually touched Tang Mingyue for a moment and she had mixed feelings.
When she took over the Tang family, she was not only unknown in Huan State, but few people knew that she had left Zhou County. After so many years of hard work, she finally met a good time. Before the Exterior, the Demon Emperor spread the Star Fire, which allowed her to practice the Peerless Skill, solidify her foundation, and smoothly break through to the Exterior. When she needed to expand her power, she inexplicably got the help of the Wang family from Zhou County and the Huanhua Swords Sect in Huan State and established the family business. After the Human Sovereign set up the Heaven Conferring Platform, the Divine Path monitored all parties. The rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty were deeply embedded in the noble families and sects, which saved her a lot of insidious tricks.
In these decades, she had exhausted herself for the Tang family. Her hard work was not known to others. Even if she had a son and a daughter now and her family was happy, she often woke up in the middle of the night.
Of course, the prosperity of the Tang family began with the return of her brother. But after he left again, he completely disappeared from the world as if he had never appeared.
She searched for decades and finally gave up. At the same time, she understood a truth:
Some things will never have an ending, and some doubts will never be answered.
With such emotions, Tang Mingyue sat at the side and seriously discussed the Nine-leaf Sun Return Grass with Song Quanlue.
The world was changing, and the general trend was changing. Some families fell, and others rose!
Just like the Su family of Shen Du.
As one of the 36 Super Arresters of the Great Zhou Fan School, Gu Changqing was considered to have a high position and power. Moreover, he was also a Half-step Super Arrester for many years and had a strong background. Therefore, the arresters under him did not dare to be disrespectful.
"Good morning, Super Arrester Gu." A Gold-stamped Arrester saw Gu Changqing, who was in charge of the affairs of the Six Fan School in Shen Du, and hurriedly saluted him.
This man had always abhorred evil. In front of him, no mistakes could be made.
Gu Changqing nodded slightly with a smile on his face, "Act as usual today. If there's anything unusual, use the Myriad World Talisman to contact me."
After saying that, he walked out of the former headquarters of the Six Fan School and headed to the ancestral house of the Su family of Shen Du.
Super Arrester Gu actually left so early … The Gold-stamped Arrester was stunned.
He heard that Mrs. Tang had recently given birth to a girl. So it was true …
Gu Changqing always had a smile on his face, and it did not fade at all on the way into the house.
Just as he picked up the cute baby girl and turned around to chat with his wife, Tang Ziyue, his eldest son, Gu Sudong, who was five or six years old, stumbled in and said with a puzzled face, "Mother, mother, I have something to ask you."
In order for Tang Ziyue to smoothly cross the second level of the Celestial Ladder, they had only started to think about future generations in the last ten years.
"What is it?" Tang Ziyue smiled and caressed her son's head.
Gu Sudong frowned and asked, "They always say how my uncle is, but isn't my uncle always at home?"
Gu Changqing coaxed his daughter while listening to his wife's smiling voice,
"They're referring to your second uncle …"
"Him? He's an indomitable, peerless hero … "
