Chapter 633: Chapter 64: A Quick Boost! Liyao, the Great Celestial Pride_3

Wang Dingxin? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Wang Shouzhe’s expression suddenly became solemn, and he immediately bowed to greet, "Changning Shouzhe, pays respect to Ninth Uncle."

If we talk about the current Southern Desert Wang Family, the strongest and most reputable person is naturally the family’s old ancestor. However, apart from the old ancestor, the most prestigious in the family is this Ding Generation’s Old Ninth—Wang Dingxin.

He is not an ordinary Celestial Human Realm Elder but the carefully cultivated successor of the Purple Mansion for the Southern Desert Wang Family. Although he appears just over fifty, in reality, he is already two hundred fifty to sixty years old.

Wang Dingxin, born a celestial prodigy, ascended to the Celestial Human Realm at the age of ninety, and it’s said that his cultivation has now reached the eighth layer of the Celestial Human Realm. In at most forty to fifty years, he can begin to charge into the Purple Mansion Realm.

This perfectly fits the usual process of cultivating a successor for a Purple Mansion family. If one pursues a faster cultivation speed, it invariably demands substantial additional resources due to the marginal effect, leading to a cost-inefficient outcome and waste of resources.

But if it’s too slow, the body’s functions gradually deteriorate, increasing the difficulty of reaching the Purple Mansion Realm.

With such a personage, how could Wang Shouzhe dare to show negligence?

"As Patriarch Zonghao mentioned, Patriarch Shouzhe is indeed elegant and youthful, achieving the Late Stage of the Spirit Platform Realm at only about forty." Wang Dingxin praised, "You must have reached an Upper Grade B bloodline. If you can maintain this momentum, you might be able to charge into the Celestial Human Realm before the age of sixty."

Such is cultivation; each major realm progresses quickly in the early stages but slows down significantly in the later stages. Ancestor Longyan was an exception because her fifty years of painful life significantly tempered her divine sense, allowing her to accumulate gradually and create a miracle difficult to replicate.

"Ninth Uncle, you praise me too much. Shouzhe is just desperately consuming resources to speed up cultivation out of necessity." Wang Shouzhe said helplessly, "Our Changning Wang Family is not as stable in position as the Southern Desert Wang Family and is in urgent need of Celestial Human Realm cultivators. In desperation, this was the only choice left."

Wang Zonghao and Wang Dingxin both nodded in understanding: "Different family situations naturally require different decisions. However, with a celestial prodigy of your grade in the Changning Wang Family, you truly have extraordinary fate, and a future as a Fifth-Grade family seems promising."

After a few exchanges of pleasantries.

Wang Zonghao said, "This is not the ideal place for conversation. After visiting Ancestor Longyan with Grandpa the Ninth, let’s sit down and talk together."

Wang Shouzhe’s heart stirred, as if he had guessed their intentions.

Indeed, it was about time. With the strength of a Purple Mansion family, if they genuinely wanted to have a rough understanding of the Changning Wang Family, these days were enough for them to investigate and gather intelligence.

Subsequently, everyone visited Ancestor Longyan together.

Although Wang Dingxin’s age and cultivation far exceeded Ancestor Longyan’s, due to the significant generational difference, Wang Dingxin still respectfully performed the junior’s greeting, respectfully addressing her as Ancestor Longyan.

Such is the nature of the same clan: generation ranks are prioritized over cultivation. Regardless of how high your cultivation or status is, you must respectfully greet your elders. The Southern Desert Wang Family reproduces slightly faster, hence they suffer a bit in generational rank.

After everyone paid their respects.

Under Wang Zonghao’s arrangement, everyone enjoyed morning tea in the VIP guesthouse designed for entertaining distinguished guests, savoring some exquisite and spiritually enriched breakfast delicacies. There was a type of spirit grain that could be ground into flour and processed into baozi, steamed buns, noodles, etc.

Most of the Southern Desert County is grassland, with a small amount of fertile and spiritual fields, which are mainly relatively water-scarce, not favorable for rice cultivation that requires a lot of irrigation water.

Therefore, the main staple food in the Southern Desert County, besides meat, is mostly various kinds of noodles.

After chatting about everyday matters and enjoying the delicacies, the atmosphere warmed up considerably. Only then did Wang Zonghao bring up the main topic, "Fourth Uncle Shouzhe, to be frank, due to some curiosity about the Changning Wang Family, we used some connections to investigate."

"Honestly, Fourth Uncle~ your Changning Wang Family shocked me." Wang Zonghao shook his head with a bitter smile as he spoke, "I never expected that besides you, Fourth Uncle, the celestial prodigy, the Changning Wang Family also has two celestial prodigy aunts, Luojing and Luqiu, in the Purple Mansion Academy, both accepted as direct disciples under a master."

"Besides, there’s an uncle from the Shou Generation who was accepted as a disciple by the famous alchemy loose cultivator, Master Dan Ding..."

"Not only do you have four celestial prodigies, but Shouzhe’s daughter Liyao is even a great celestial prodigy and accepted under Celestial River Zhenren."

With every sentence, Wang Zonghao’s expression twitched as if he was deeply shocked.

Regarding the Academy and Longzuo County matters, Wang Zonghao missed mentioning Wang Lici. But thinking about it, it made sense because Lici kept a low profile when accepted under Master Yunyang and seldom appeared over the years.

Not to mention external intelligence, even within the Longzuo Purple Mansion Academy, few knew of Wang Lici’s existence.

As for Ancestor Longyan, because she ascended to the Celestial Human Realm quite late, they did not consider her bloodline extraordinary. Other family children were also overlooked due to Wang Clan’s low profile.

Yet the revealed potential of the Wang Family was enough to attract the attention of a Purple Mansion family. Of course, having celestial prodigies is one thing, at most indicating potential future ascension to a Fifth-Grade family.

But a great celestial prodigy is different, especially one with a Divine Power Realm master.

If it weren’t for Wang Liyao, Wang Dingxin wouldn’t have actively sought out Wang Shouzhe; at most, they’d have invited Wang Shouzhe over for a meeting.

"Patriarch Zonghao, please don’t blame me," Wang Shouzhe said with cupped hands, helplessly apologizing, "Shouzhe didn’t intend to hide anything, but I can’t very well start boasting as soon as I arrive in the Southern Desert, can I?"

The information currently revealed is public and can be gathered by those with a bit of interest. However, many of the real trump cards and foundations of the Wang Family remain unknown to outsiders.

"How could I blame Fourth Uncle?" Wang Zonghao laughed heartily, "The Wang Family producing a great celestial prodigy is an honor shared by our Southern Desert Wang Family, a joyous event indeed."

"Thus, upon receiving the news last night, I immediately discussed it with Grandpa Ninth. And this morning, we’ve come to discuss this with Fourth Uncle Shouzhe and Ancestor Longyan..."

"Discuss?" Wang Shouzhe was slightly taken aback; what was there to discuss? Could it be they wanted Liyao to be adopted into the Southern Desert?

Wang Zonghao’s expression suddenly became serious, "Here’s the situation: I’ve also heard that Changning Wang Family seems to be quite capable of earning money. Yet, no matter how capable, it’s naturally far from matching a Purple Mansion family’s scale. Moreover, the Wang Family in the future still has several celestial prodigies needing cultivation to the Purple Mansion Realm."

"The two aunts, Luojing and Luqiu, although part of the Academy, the Wang Family also cannot lack in subsidies. Uncle Shouye, the Wang Family must also provide some support. In such a case, funds will surely be tight. But even with a shortage of funds, the growth of the great celestial prodigy cannot be delayed."

"After discussing with Grandpa Ninth, we’ve decided to issue some resource supplements to Sister Liyao on behalf of the Southern Desert Wang Family. We hope this will make her journey on the path of divine abilities smoother."

"However, our Southern Desert Wang Family is only a Fifth-Grade family, with vast family assets and consumption. We can only provide celestial prodigy-level subsidies to Sister Liyao until she achieves the Purple Mansion. We hope this action will lighten Changning Wang Family’s financial burden."

In fact, the time was about right for a Purple Mansion family’s strength to have roughly learned some information about the Changning Wang Family over these past few days.

After everyone paid their respects.

Wang Zonghao arranged for everyone to enjoy morning tea in the VIP guesthouse designed for hosting honored guests, alongside some exquisite and spiritually rich breakfast foods. A type of spirit grain could be milled into flour, then processed and cooked into baozi, steamed buns, noodles, and more.

Most of Southern Desert County is grassland, with only a small amount of fertile soil and spirit fields, which are mostly not well-suited for crops requiring extensive irrigation like rice.

As a result, the staple foods in Southern Desert County, apart from meat, are mostly various grain-based foods.

After everyone exchanged a few pleasantries and enjoyed the delicacies, the atmosphere became much more lively. Only then did Wang Zonghao bring up the main topic, saying, "Fourth Uncle Shouzhe, to be honest, there is something we have to admit. Due to some curiosity about the Changning Wang Family, we leveraged some connections to gather information."

"To be honest, Fourth Uncle~ your Changning Wang Family amazed me." As he spoke, Wang Zonghao couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile, "I never imagined that aside from you being a celestial prodigy, there are also your two aunts, Luojing and Luqiu, who are celestial prodigies in the Purple Mansion Academy, both having been accepted as direct disciples under an Ascendant there."

"In addition to this, an uncle from the Shou generation has even become a disciple of the famous Alchemy Loose Cultivator, Master Dan Ding..."

"Not to mention, your daughter Wang Liyao is a great celestial pride with a superior talent, having been accepted as a direct disciple under Celestial River True Man..."

If it weren’t for this revealed intelligence, which is publicly known, I would have been shocked by the strength of the Changning Wang Family. Usually, when a family has potent celestial pride like Liyao, it suggests a promising future as a fifth-grade noble family."

"However, a great celestial pride is something else entirely, and being accepted as a direct disciple by Celestial River Zhenren makes her future prospects all the more extraordinary."

"If there was another Shou Generation uncle who became a disciple of the famous Alchemy Loose Cultivator, Master Dan Ding, then that would be..."

"These days, the fact that it’s not only Fourth Uncle Shouzhe, but also that you have your two aunts, Luojing and Luqiu, as celestial prides in the Purple Mansion Academy, both accepted as direct disciples under ascendants, is truly extraordinary," said Wang Zonghao with a sincere smile while shaking his head in disbelief.

After everyone greeted each other.

Wang Zonghao arranged for everyone to have morning tea at the VIP guesthouse, enjoying some exquisite and spirit-filled breakfast delicacies. A type of spirit grain can be ground into flour and processed into buns, steamed bread, noodles, and other foods.

Most of the Southern Desert County is composed of grasslands, with a small amount of fertile soil and spirit fields, which are not very favorable for the cultivation of rice that requires a lot of irrigation water.

Therefore, the staple food in Southern Desert County, apart from meat, is mostly various types of noodles.

After chatting and enjoying the delicious food together, the atmosphere was increasingly warm. Only then did Wang Zonghao bring up the main topic: "Fourth Uncle Shouzhe, to tell you the truth, out of curiosity about Changning Wang Family, we have used some connections to gather information."

"To be honest, Fourth Uncle~ Your Changning Wang Family’s situation surprised me." He said with a bitter smile, shaking his head, "I never expected that besides you being a celestial prodigy, there are also your aunts, Luojing and Luqiu, both celestial prides in the Purple Mansion Academy, and both have been accepted as direct disciples by the Ascendant."

"In addition, there is also an uncle from the Shou Generation who has become a disciple of the renowned Alchemy Loose Cultivator Master Dan Ding..."

"Having four celestial prides in your family is exceptional, and the fact that Shouzhe’s daughter Liyao, with her great celestial pride having been accepted as a direct disciple by Celestial River Zhenren, is truly exceptional."

With the information currently being revealed, all of it is public, and just a brief look at it would allow others to understand the situation. Yet knowing the situation of Changning Wang Family this far, with the fact that beyond Fourth Uncle Shouzhe as a celestial pride, both of Shouzhe’s aunts, Luojing and Luqiu are celestial prides accepted as direct disciples under an Ascendant, has shocked me." Wang Zonghao said with disbelief evident in his voice.

He then continued in a serious tone: "The thing is, I won’t hide it from you, Fourth Uncle Shouzhe. We have discussed it and come to a decision. We would like to propose a possible alliance with Changning Wang Family. With our support and additional resources, we are hopeful for a share in the glory when your Wang family rises to become a Fifth Grade Noble Family in the future."

At the essence of this proposal was that Wang Lici would be co-supported by the Southern Desert Wang Family.

Understanding their proposal, Wang Shouzhe’s heart settled, knowing that what was unfolding was simply a step in forming ties.
