MTL - Top of Qinglian-Chapter 1 Wang Changsheng
Great Song Dynasty, Ningzhou.
Ping'an County is one of the 72 counties in Ningzhou. The territory is mostly mountains and hills, and the population is sparse. Lotus Island is the only lake island in Ping'an County.
Lotus Island got its name because it looks like a blooming lotus flower. There are many lotus flowers on the island.
In the early morning, a scorching sun rose from the east and reflected on the Lotus Island, bringing a touch of warmth to the Lotus Island.
In the center of the island, there is a very wide yard, pavilions, and garden corridors everywhere.
In the center of the yard, there is a small artificially excavated lake. A large white fog covers the entire lake, and it is difficult to see what is inside.
As time passed, the white fog gradually dissipated.
There is a large cyan lotus in the lake, and a lotus-shaped stone platform stands in the center. There is a two-story cyan pavilion on the stone platform. Above the entrance of the pavilion, there is a cyan plaque with a length of 10 feet. It has three golden characters "Qinglian Pavilion".
In a room on the second floor of Qinglian Pavilion, a young man in a blue shirt was eighteen or nineteen years old sitting cross-legged on a blue futon.
The blue-shirted youth has brows like swords, clear eyebrows, black hair and a shawl, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
The blue-shirted youth closed his eyes slightly, and the breathing between his nose showed a certain sense of rhythm. As he swallowed and breathed, a little blue light appeared around him, and a faint layer of blue light enveloped his body.
Time passed by, and blue light spots poured into his body one after another.
The blue-shirted youth opened his eyes, and a gleam of light shot out of them.
"Finally entered the fifth level of Qi Refining."
Wang Changsheng let out a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his thin face.
"Ninth Uncle, breakfast is ready."
A respectful male voice came from outside.
Wang Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "Qiusheng, bring your breakfast in!"
Wang Changsheng pushed open the door and walked out, walking downstairs.
A blue-shirted youth in his twenties pushed open the door and walked in, holding a cyan tray in his hand.
On the tray is a bowl of white rice, a plate of clear vegetables and a plate of tofu. The aroma is fragrant and makes people appetite.
"Uncle Jiu, this is the breakfast that Qiuyue cooked for you. See if it suits your appetite."
Wang Qiusheng set the meal and stood aside with a very respectful expression.
Wang Changsheng frowned slightly, and said, "Didn't I say so? Let's have breakfast together, why did you only send me the portion?"
"My father has repeatedly told me that Uncle Ninth is an elder, and grandson must be careful to serve him. Uncle Ninth must not be neglected. Uncle Ninth would never dare to eat at the same table with him. I hope Uncle Ninth will forgive me."
Wang Qiusheng's face tightened as he explained carefully.
Wang Changsheng sighed lightly, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, you can go down for breakfast! After breakfast, come and clean up the dishes."
"Grandson obeys."
Wang Qiusheng immediately agreed, and after giving a deep bow, he walked backwards out of the Qinglian Pavilion.
Five hundred years ago, Wang Yuangang, the ancestor of the Wang family, brought his family to settle in Changping County, Ningzhou.
At that time, the Wang family was only a family of seven, but under the protection of two foundation-building cultivators, the population of the Wang family had more than doubled in less than a hundred years. foundation.
After hundreds of years of development, the population of the Wang family has doubled and the number of immortal cultivators has continued to increase. So far, there are 145 immortal cultivators in the Wang family, as well as hundreds of thousands of people without spiritual roots.
The Wang family resides in Qinglian Mountain in Changping County, and most of the Wang family with spiritual roots live in Qinglian Mountain.
Qinglian Mountain originally had a first-order high-grade spiritual meridian, but with the efforts of the ancestors of the royal family in all dynasties, the first-order spiritual meridian has been cultivated into a second-order low-grade spiritual meridian, which can provide enough spiritual energy for foundation-building cultivators.
As for the hundreds of thousands of Wang family members who have no spiritual roots, they are distributed in three county towns in Changping County, namely Ping'an County, Qingyun County, and Qingzhu County.
The current head of the Wang family is Wang Mingyuan, who is also Wang Changsheng's father. Wang Mingyuan has four spiritual roots, and his aptitude is not good. However, he is fair and humble in dealing with others.
Wang Yaozong, a foundation-building cultivator of the Wang family, rarely shows up on weekdays, and he practiced in seclusion all year round.
Wang Changsheng's mother, Liu Qing'er, was a loose cultivator with three spiritual roots, and her aptitude was slightly better than Wang Mingyuan's.
Wang Yaozu, Wang Changsheng's grandfather, did not agree with Liu Qinger's entry, because Wang Yaozu planned to let Wang Mingyuan marry the direct daughter of the Zhao family in Guangyang County to strengthen the relationship between the two families. The strength of the Wang family and the Zhao family was similar. They are friends again, and this marriage is good for both parties.
Wang Mingyuan just didn't agree. With a posture of not marrying Liu Qinger, Wang Yaozu was so angry that Wang Mingyuan was locked up for three years.
Liu Qinger waited for Wang Mingyuan for three years near Qinglian Mountain, and he moved Wang Yaozu, so Liu Qinger came to meet him.
Liu Qinger had worked in a refinery shop for ten years and was an apprentice refiner. When Wang Yaozu learned about this, he happily agreed to the marriage.
Wang Changsheng is the only son, ranking ninth in the same generation. He is the three spiritual roots of gold, water and soil. The main spiritual root is water. It is the "Yun Yu Jue" passed down by the Wang family.
This exercise is a first-order personality exercise, which can be practiced from the first level of Qi refining to the ninth level of Qi refining. This exercise is more stable, with fewer bottlenecks, and it is very easy to break through.
Wang Changsheng entered the lecture hall at the age of five, read and read, and was taught the knowledge of immortality by the elders of the clan.
He started to practice at the age of eight, and received ten kilograms of first-order low-grade spiritual rice every month.
At the age of thirteen, Wang Changsheng was promoted to the fourth level of qi refining, and he could receive three kilograms of first-order middle-grade spiritual rice every month.
When Wang Changsheng was sixteen years old, he was only at the fourth level of qi refining. According to clan rules, there was no need to do anything before the age of eighteen. The family provided resources for cultivation. In exchange for training resources.
The Wang family is now unable to make ends meet, and Wang Mingyuan can only let the younger generation come out to work two years in advance, so as to increase income and reduce expenditure.
This decision was opposed by some clan elders. The clan elders believed that the younger generation was the future of the family, and they should be allowed to cultivate until they were eighteen years old. The clan elder was willing to take out his monthly salary and subsidize it to the younger generation. generation.
Wang Mingyuan thought this was not a solution to the family's predicament. In order to persuade the opposing clan elders, he invited Wang Yaozong out to hold a clan meeting.
As the head of the family, Wang Mingyuan set an example and sent his son out to serve as a Celestial Master in Ping'an County for a period of four years.
Ping'an County was the one with the worst conditions among the three counties controlled by the Wang family. Wang Mingyuan set an example, and with Wang Yaozong's approval, the voice of opposition disappeared.
Because of this, Liu Qinger complained a lot about Wang Mingyuan in private, saying that Wang Mingyuan only had the Wang family in his heart, and had no small family of his own.
At the age of sixteen, Wang Changsheng left Qinglian Mountain and came to Ping'an County with his mother's reluctant eyes on him.
Ping'an County is relatively barren and sparsely populated. Tens of thousands of Wang family members live in the county town and nearby villages and towns.
Wang Changsheng's mission is to protect the ordinary people of Ping'an County from evil spirits and monsters.
Although the people of the royal family living in the secular world do not have spiritual roots, their ancestors have spiritual roots. Therefore, the descendants of these people have a high probability of having spiritual roots. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
For this reason, the Wang family sent immortal cultivators to guard the three counties under their control to regularly check their spiritual roots.
For hundreds of years, there have been more than a dozen people with spiritual roots in the Wang family living in the secular world. Wang Yaozong's parents are mortals. Because of the detection of spiritual roots, they were sent to Qinglian Mountain for cultivation. Successful foundation.
Because of the living example of Wang Yaozong, the Wang family attaches great importance to the people who live in the secular world. Of course, the Wang family also attaches great importance to other people. Although the probability of cultivators appearing in the descendants of mortals is very small, the Wang family treats them equally. Secular testing whether the newborn has spiritual roots, so as to replenish fresh blood.
The magistrate of Ping'an County is appointed by the imperial court, and the Wang family will not interfere with the county magistrate's handling of government affairs.
The Wang family who do not have spiritual roots will not interfere in business or politics, but if their descendants have spiritual roots, they must be sent to Qinglian Mountain.
Wang Changsheng has been in Ping'an County for three years. He lives on Lianhua Island on weekdays and rarely leaves Lianhua Island.
There are no spiritual veins on Lotus Island, and the spiritual energy is weak. The speed of cultivation here is very slow. He has been in Ping'an County for three years, but he has only been promoted to a small realm. , Wang Changsheng may not be able to advance to the fifth level of Qi refining in five years.
The price of Lingdan was relatively expensive, and Wang Changsheng was too shy, so he chose to eat Linggu.
He is now in the middle stage of qi refining, so he is suitable for eating the first-order mid-grade Linggu. The first-order middle-grade Linggu is cooked once every two or three years, and the price is about one or two spirit stones.
As a Celestial Master in Ping'an County, there is almost no chance for him to make meritorious deeds. The salary of one spiritual stone every month and the one kilogram of spiritual grain he bought will soon be eaten up. He has no choice but to eat food without spiritual energy.
