Chapter 26： selected

An old man in blue robe walked in. The old man in blue robe had a ruddy complexion, white hair and beard, and a pair of tiger eyes that were not angry and arrogant. At first glance, he was not someone to be fooled.

If you look closely, you can find that the facial features of the blue-robed old man are somewhat similar to Wang Mingyuan.

The blue-robed old man is Wang Mingyuan's father, Wang Yaozu, and Wang Changsheng's grandfather.

Wang Yaozu is seventy-five years old this year, with three spiritual roots and seven levels of Qi refining. He is in charge of liaison with other forces. For example, when the head of the Wang family's in-laws celebrates his birthday, Wang Yaozu will bring someone to congratulate him when he receives an invitation.

"Father, why are you back so soon? Don't you want to go out to visit your friends?" Wang Mingyuan asked with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

Wang Yaozu blew his beard and stared, and said angrily, "If my sister-in-law hadn't reported to me, I would have been tricked by you to visit my friends. You invited the second brother out, and held such a big meeting. You deliberately supported me. Open it! If I hadn't come back, I'm afraid Changsheng wouldn't have been selected!"

"Look at what you said, the candidates were recommended by your uncles, not me." Wang Mingyuan felt a little guilty.

Wang Yaozu rolled his eyes at Wang Mingyuan and said, "I am your father and the elder of the Wang family. I have the right to speak!"

"Of course there is, but the final decision rests with your uncles."

"I knew you would say that, the second brother, the sixth brother, the eighth brother, as the saying goes, do not shy away from relatives, and longevity is my grandson, but Qing'er used to work in the Shenbing Pavilion in Ziyuefang City. I have been an apprentice of craftsmanship for ten years, and I have instilled a lot of craftsmanship knowledge in my children since I was a child. If I only look at theoretical knowledge, I don’t think anyone of my age knows more than a child. Let’s not deny this! In addition, the child is in the He has been stationed in Ping'an County for three years, and he discovered the mysterious gold ore by chance. Give him a chance! If he performs mediocrely in the assessment, there is no need to train him as a craftsman. Otherwise, it should be focused on training, you said What!" Wang Yaozu said slowly.

"Father, it is a great achievement for my son to discover the mysterious gold ore vein. The clan will definitely reward him well. There is no need to give him a quota! It's hard to be convinced." Wang Mingyuan looked embarrassed.

"You don't shy away from relatives. It's right for you to do things fairly, but you need a bowl of water. If the child is not your son, he can't be selected? Besides, my sister-in-law has been an apprentice refining tool in Shenbing Pavilion for ten years. , I should have met some people. If the child becomes an artifact refiner, when we buy the artifact refining materials from Shenbing Pavilion in the future, Qing’er will help to match up and enjoy some discounts. The child’s knowledge of artifact refining is solid, he can’t If you are selected, why are other people selected? You can 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 still a second round of assessment, so even if it is one for Changsheng, there are still four places left. To add, the recommended candidate must be the three spiritual roots. It is difficult to cultivate false spiritual roots. , even if you are trained as a first-order craftsman, your cultivation will not keep up, and your craftsmanship will not improve. In addition, people who are proficient in other skills cannot be selected. They must be over eighteen years old and under fifty years old. Choose first. Select ten clansmen who meet these conditions, and then select four outstanding people, right, immediately transfer Changsheng back and send someone to take his place."

"Yes, second uncle, I'll send a message to Sheng'er later and ask him to come back as soon as possible. Let's pick ten people from the clan first."

After half an hour of discussion, ten clan members were finally selected.

After the meeting, Wang Mingyuan and Wang Yaozu came to the study. Liu Qinger had already prepared snacks and tea and waited for a long time.

"Dad, how's it going? Has your baby been selected?" Liu Qing'er asked impatiently, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation.

"It's natural for me to go out and succeed. Speaking of which, if you hadn't informed me, I would have been in the dark! Mingyuan, should you give an explanation to the father? After all, the father is the elder of the royal family. Why would you transfer your father away?" Wang Yaozu asked with a stern face.

Wang Mingyuan smiled bitterly and explained, "Father, I was just afraid that you would recommend Changsheng, so I transferred you away. I don't want people to gossip."

Wang Yaozu rolled his eyes and scolded unceremoniously: "Gossip? What's there to say? There are five places, and the son only occupied one place. He discovered the mysterious gold ore vein. Is it natural that other people are selected? You don’t avoid relatives, and you let your son go to Ping’an County to serve as a celestial master. Did I say that you did something wrong? Aside from the identity of your own son, if you choose a tribe to cultivate Artifact Refiner, your child will definitely be selected."

Liu Qing'er nodded and said, "That's right, since the birth record, I will instill the knowledge of artifact refining in him every day, isn't it just for this day! But can the clan cultivate five artifact artificers at the same time? Train one artifact artificer. The cost of a teacher is not a small amount, let alone training five refiners at the same time."

"Of course it is impossible to train five 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 raised her eyebrows and urged, "Since my son has been selected, let's call him back!"

"Second uncle has already ordered it, and it suits you."

"What are you talking about? This is a decision within the clan. If you want to go out for your father, I can remind you that it is okay to be strict with your children, but you need a bowl of water that is level and treated equally. You just care too much about gossip. , The rumors stop at the wise. When you were elected as the head of the family, the sixth brother and the others still complained in private! But you did things fairly, which made them convinced, and the same is true of children. If he passes the test, he can be trained as a craftsman. , other people will not talk nonsense." Wang Yaozu warned meaningfully.

"Father is right As long as the child can become an artifact refiner, other people will not gossip! You should transfer the child back, I will teach you what I learned in the Shenbing Pavilion. Give it to him, I hope he can become an artifact refiner." Liu Qing'er was a little eager to try.

Wang Mingyuan gave a wry smile and repeatedly agreed.

"I'll fix a book immediately, and let the baby come back immediately."

Ping'an County, Lotus Island.

The sun sets in the west, and the sunset puts a golden cloak on Lotus Island.

Wang Changsheng sat in the stone pavilion, holding the "Outline of Refining Tools" in his hand, watching it with great interest.

He has now memorized the basic knowledge of crafting and the characteristics of hundreds of first-order crafting materials. As long as he has the crafting furnace, crafting materials, and spiritual artifact map, he can try crafting.

"Ninth Uncle, call within the clan." Wang Qiusheng walked over quickly, holding a letter in his hand.

There was only one line on the letter: Quickly return to Qinglian Mountain, father Wang Mingyuan.

"Quickly return to Qinglian Mountain? What happened in the clan? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Wang Changsheng frowned, a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

It was less than half a month since he came back to Lotus Island, and it was not like his father's style to call him back so quickly.

"Qiusheng, are you sure it's a communication within the clan?" Wang Changsheng asked solemnly.

"Yes, the homing pigeons used in the clan are not the same as ordinary homing pigeons. It is indeed a communication within the clan."

Wang Changsheng was a little overjoyed when he received Wang Qiusheng's affirmative answer.

"You guys are looking at Lianhua Island, I want to go back to Qinglian Mountain. If there is any urgent matter that cannot be resolved, I will send a message to the clan." Wang Changsheng exhorted, put away the "Outline of Item Refining", and moved his lips slightly. Down, a white cloud emerged out of thin air, lifted him up, and flew towards the sky.
