Chapter 26 Selected
An old man in blue robes who was over seventy years old walked in. The old man in blue robes had a ruddy complexion, white beard and hair, and a pair of tiger eyes that were calm and intimidating. At first glance, he was not someone who was easy to fool.
If you observe carefully, you can find that the facial features of the blue-robed old man are somewhat similar to Wang Mingyuan.
The old man in blue robe is Wang Mingyuan's father Wang Yaozu and Wang Changsheng's grandfather.
Wang Yaozu is seventy-five years old this year. He has three spiritual roots and the seventh level of Qi refining. He is responsible for liaison with other forces. For example, if the head of the Wang family's in-laws celebrates his birthday, Wang Yaozu will take people to congratulate him when he receives the invitation.
"Dad, why are you back so soon? Aren't you going out to visit your friends?" Wang Mingyuan asked with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Wang Yaozu blew his beard and glared, and said angrily: "If my sister-in-law hadn't reported the news to me, I would have been tricked by you into visiting a friend. You invited your second brother out and held such a big meeting to deliberately exclude me.
It’s open! If I hadn’t come back, I’m afraid Changsheng wouldn’t have been selected!”
"Look what you said, the candidates were recommended by uncles, not me." Wang Mingyuan felt guilty.
Wang Yaozu rolled his eyes at Wang Mingyuan and said, "I am your father and the patriarch of the Wang family. I have the right to speak!"
"Of course, but the final decision rests with your uncles."
"I knew you would say that, second brother, sixth brother, eighth brother, as the saying goes, one should not avoid relatives when promoting virtuous people. It is true that Changsheng is my grandson, but Qing'er once worked at the Shenbing Pavilion in Ziyuefang City.
I have been a weapon-refining apprentice for ten years, and I have instilled in my son a lot of weapon-making knowledge since I was a child. If I only look at the theoretical knowledge, I don’t think anyone of my age knows more than my son. Don’t deny this! In addition, my son is in
He has been stationed in Ping'an County for three years and discovered the black gold vein by chance. It's not too much to give him a chance! If his performance in the assessment is mediocre, there is no need to train him to be a weapon refiner. On the contrary, we should focus on training him. What do you think?
Here!" Wang Yaozu said slowly.
"Dad, I made a great contribution to my son's discovery of the black gold mine. The clan will definitely reward him well. There is no need to give him a quota! This is hard to convince people." Wang Mingyuan looked embarrassed.
"Don't avoid relatives when promoting talents. It's right for you to be fair in doing things, but you have to be fair. If the child is not your son, he will not 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 I become a weapon refining master, when we buy weapon refining materials from the Shenbing Pavilion in the future, Qing'er can help matchmaking, and we can also enjoy some discounts. I have a solid knowledge of weapon refining, and he can't.
If selected, why can others be selected? Give me a reasonable reason."
"This..." Wang Mingyuan was speechless and looked at Wang Yaozong.
Wang Yaozong thought for a moment and said: "Anyway, there are five places, and there is a second round of assessment. Even if there is one immortal, there are still four places left. To add, the recommended candidates must have three spiritual roots. It is difficult to cultivate pseudo-spiritual roots.
, even if you are trained to become a first-level weapon refiner, your cultivation level cannot keep up, and your weapon refinement level cannot be improved. In addition, clan members who are proficient in other skills cannot be selected. They must be over eighteen years old and under fifty years old. Select first.
Pick out ten clansmen who meet these conditions, and then select the four more outstanding ones. By the way, immediately transfer Chang Sheng back and send someone to take his place."
"Yes, Second Uncle, I will send a message to Sheng'er later and ask him to come back as soon as possible. Let's first select ten people from the clan."
After half an hour of discussion, ten clansmen were finally selected.
After the meeting, Wang Mingyuan and Wang Yaozu came to the study. Liu Qing'er had already prepared snacks and tea and had been waiting for a long time.
"Dad, how is it? Has the baby been selected?" Liu Qing'er asked impatiently, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation.
"Of course I will be successful if I take action. Speaking of which, if you hadn't informed me, I would have been kept in the dark! Mingyuan, should you give me an explanation? My father is an elder of the Wang family after all. You can convene a family meeting
Why would you transfer your father?" Wang Yaozu asked with a straight face.
Wang Mingyuan smiled bitterly and explained: "Dad, I was afraid that you would recommend Changsheng, so I transferred you. I don't want people to gossip."
Wang Yaozu rolled his eyes and scolded him unceremoniously: "Gossip? What's there to talk about? There are five places, and the biological child only occupies one of the places. He discovered the Black Gold Mine. It is too much for the biological child to occupy one of the places?"
Is it natural for others to be selected? Don’t avoid relatives when promoting talents. Did I say that you did the wrong thing by letting your son go to Ping’an County to serve as a heavenly master? Regardless of the fact that your son is your biological son, if the clan selects clan members for training
Weapon Refiner, I will definitely be selected."
Liu Qing'er nodded and said: "That's right, since I was born, I have instilled in him the knowledge of weapon refining every day, just for this day! But can the clan train five weapon refining masters at the same time? Cultivate one weapon refining master.
The cost of training a master is not a small amount, let alone training five weapon refiners at the same time."
"Of course it is impossible to train five weapon refiners at the same time. First select ten clansmen, select five people to train for a period of time, and then conduct an assessment, leaving the best two to focus on training." Wang Mingyuan explained.
Liu Qing'er immediately beamed and urged: "Since my son has been selected, please bring him back quickly!"
"Second uncle has already given the order. Now it's to your liking."
"What are you talking about? This is a decision within the clan. As a father, I have to go out for a trip. Let me remind you that it is okay to have strict requirements for your children, but you must have a bowl of water that is equal and treat everyone equally. You just care too much about other people's gossip.
, Rumors stop at the wise. When you were elected as the head of the family, Sixth Brother and the others were still complaining in private! But they were convinced that you were fair in your actions. The same goes for giving birth to a child. If he passes the examination, he can be trained to become a weapon refiner.
, and other people will not gossip." Wang Yaozu warned meaningfully.
"Dad is right. As long as Sheng'er can become a weapon refiner, other people will not gossip! You'd better bring Sheng'er back as soon as possible. I will teach him what I learned in the Shenbing Pavilion. I hope he can
Become a weapon refiner." Liu Qing'er was a little eager to give it a try.
Wang Mingyuan smiled bitterly and agreed repeatedly.
"I will write a letter immediately and ask the son to come back immediately."
······
Ping'an County, Lianhua Island.
As the sun sets in the west, the sunset casts a golden cloak on Lotus Island.
Wang Changsheng was sitting in the stone pavilion, holding the "Outline of Weapon Refining" in his hand, reading it with great interest.
He has now memorized the basic knowledge of weapon refining and the characteristics of hundreds of first-level weapon refining materials. As long as he has the weapon refining furnace, the weapon refining materials and the spiritual weapon atlas, he can try to refining the weapon.
"Uncle Ninth, a message has been sent to the clan." Wang Qiusheng walked over quickly, holding a letter in his hand.
There was only one line in the letter: Return to Qinglian Mountain quickly, my father is far away.
"Go back to Qinglian Mountain quickly? What happened within the clan? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Wang Changsheng frowned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He has been back to Lianhua Island for less than half a month. It is not like his father's style to transfer him back so quickly.
"Qiu Sheng, are you sure this is a summons from the clan?" Wang Changsheng asked solemnly.
"Yes, the homing pigeons used by the clan are different from ordinary homing pigeons. They are indeed used to communicate within the clan."
Wang Changsheng felt a little happy when he received Wang Qiusheng's affirmative answer.
"You guys are looking at Lotus Island. I want to go back to Qinglian Mountain. If there are any important matters that cannot be resolved, I will send a message to the clan." Wang Changsheng warned, put away the "Weapon Refining Outline", and moved his lips slightly.
