Chapter 15: Don't let him see you when you eat

On the second floor of Fuyuan Residence, there is a room kept long-term for the Wang family's high-level members to live in.

Here, Yulou saw the Wang family's Clan Chief, Wang Wang Xianmao, for the second time.

Wang Wang Xianmao, one of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Xian generation, Clan Chief of the Wang family.

The last time he saw him was five years ago; at that time, Yulou only saw his back from afar.

Now, seeing the Clan Chief face-to-face, Yulou had a kind of uncontrollable shock in his heart.

Wang Wang Xianmao had a burly build, but his skin color was a deep cyan, and his lips were even faintly pale.

Clearly a handsome foundation, yet he was pitifully gaunt.

But the powerful aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was so prominent that one couldn't help but be attracted.

Combined, the whole person looked haggard yet imposing.

Is this a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Could it be that when the Daoist cultivation of this world reaches a high level, there will be a backlash?

Yulou couldn't understand.

He obediently led Yu'an, first paying respects to the Clan Chief and Elder Brother Rongwen together, and then stood in place with lowered brows.

Seeing that his son's state was much the same as when he left home, Wang Brother Rongwen's hanging heart stabilized a little.

But standing together, the difference between Yulou and Yu'an was truly too great.

It wasn't the difference between a bright moon pearl and a mud-ball fish eye; the difference in the brothers' talent was approximately zero, but it was a special temperament.

Elders all understand; some children look jumpy and mischievous, while others are exceptionally well-behaved, making people unconsciously feel fond of them.

That was the difference.

Yu'an couldn't help but look around while standing there, while Yulou was obediently waiting for the elders to ask.

This difference seemed small, but for Wang Brother Rongwen, it was actually quite large.

A kind of shame of wanting to throw away goods when comparing goods.

"What are you looking at? Stand straight!" Wang Brother Rongwen scolded.

Wang Wang Xianmao waved his hand and asked warmly.

"Hahahaha, no matter. Yu'an, how do you feel during this time in Qingxi Fang?"

This Foundation Establishment ancestor, who looked like he was suffering from a serious illness, had a voice no different from a normal person, Yulou thought.

"Everything is good, it's just that I can't see the Clan Chief and Father, and I miss you a bit."

Having hung out with Yulou for a long time, Yu'an thought he had learned the essence, so he bravely flattered them in a way that didn't make sense.

Unfortunately, the young Yu'an didn't understand some things.

For example, as long as you dare to be brave, life dares to give you a big slap in the face.

"The Immortal Dao is vast; Wang family disciples should have a firm Dao heart and be self-reliant. You are already thirteen years old, why are you still acting like a child?"

Why wouldn't Wang Brother Rongwen be Yu'an's biological father? He truly hoped his son would be a bit more promising.

Clan Chief Wang Wang Xianmao didn't express his stance, but observed Yulou, nodding secretly in his heart.

Sure enough, just as Wang Rongyuan said in his letter, this child can be a pillar!

"Yulou, what have you all learned following Red Eyebrow?"

Wang Wang Xianmao rolled the spiritual wood beads in his hand, looked at Yulou, and asked.

"Uncle Wang Rongyuan instructed at the time...

... and there is also the Gold-Dissolving Stone-Breaking Technique; Yu'an has progressed very quickly in this aspect, and I am far inferior to him."

Yulou answered the process of learning the craft these days in great detail, and finally gave Yu'an a boost.

The Clan Chief nodded lightly and said.

"It seems that the step of arranging you all to Qingxi Fang was not wrong; Red Eyebrow has true teachings.

It's just that listening to you, it seems his true teachings are not on the same path as Fulongguan."

"Fulongguan?" Yulou and Yu'an didn't understand the Clan Chief's words.

They naturally knew about Fulongguan; like Red Lantern Illumination, Fulongguan was also listed among the Ten Sects of Wunan.

It's just why would Wang Wang Xianmao mention Fulongguan?

"A Foundation Establishment cultivator from Fulongguan passed away in the territory of Red Lantern Illumination; to be precise, it was near Qingxi Fang.

Red Eyebrow's fire techniques are profound, and Fulongguan cultivates both fire and earth techniques; we initially guessed that he was related to Fulongguan."

Wang Brother Rongwen, who was on the side, spoke, whispering an explanation to the two teenagers.

Yulou and Yu'an were both Wang family members; these small matters could naturally be told to them.

The two teenagers looked at each other, and the Clan Chief raised his hand and pointed at Wang Brother Rongwen.

"It's not easy for you father and son to meet, have a good chat."

Elder Brother Rongwen was naturally sensible, pulling Wang Yu'an by the collar and dragging him down.

"Yulou, this is my first time seeing you. The clan has never mentioned your parents' affairs to you; will you blame us?"

"Yulou wouldn't dare, and even less would I; the Wang family has treated me well, and Uncle Wang Rongyuan treats me like his own child."

"If the family wants to develop, even if it wants to maintain its current state, it needs people to stand up and take responsibility. Your parents are the pride of the Wang family.

Cultivate well; we have already helped you avenge their deaths, you don't need to worry about these things."

The difference between having a background and not having one is right here; Yulou was very fortunate that he had transmigrated into a large clan.

He didn't need to be like the transmigrators in the stories he had read before, bearing the burden of family and national hatred and needing to take revenge, with opponents who were the kind that if you hit the small, the old ones would definitely come.

If the sky falls, there are ancestors!

Wang Wang Xianmao had succeeded in Foundation Establishment and had profound cultivation, with at least a hundred more years of lifespan; Yulou didn't need to worry about the family declining after the ancestor passed away.

"Yulou understands, I will definitely study the Auxiliary Dao Arts seriously, reach Qi Refinement early, and return to the family!"

"Hahahaha, good child, are there any difficulties in cultivating in Qingxi Fang?"

Yulou hesitated for a moment, and Wang Wang Xianmao noticed his hesitation, his expression also becoming solemn.

Could it be that someone dared to bully the Wang family's disciples?

"With Uncle Nianqiu taking care of us, there are no difficulties, it's just... Clan Chief, my Master does have some strange aspects."

Yulou originally didn't want to talk about the strange aspects of Red Eyebrow, after all, Red Eyebrow was his Master.

But the Wang family's ancestral teachings told him how cruel this cultivation world was.

Knowing people and knowing faces, you don't know their hearts; trusting someone too easily is actually not a good thing.

If Red Eyebrow might have a problem, reporting it to the Clan Chief in time was the right thing to do.

"Speak!"

"First point, his daughter is responsible for teaching us the techniques of fire-method alchemy.

She once inadvertently told me that the fire techniques my Master cultivates can be used for more than just alchemy.

First, control fire with spirit, originating from oneself; then, master external fire, which corresponds to Qi Refinement.

Finally, draw fire into the body to forge the Dao foundation with fire.

Forging the Dao foundation with fire, is this a method for Foundation Establishment?"

Wang Wang Xianmao nodded and said.

"Yes, he might have obtained the Foundation Establishment inheritance from somewhere, but his inheritance clearly has problems; any method of forging the Dao foundation with external force is a side path. Tell me about the others."

"Second point, Red Eyebrow's daughter is clearly at Qi Introduction Level 5, but she can cultivate the external fire control technique of the Qi Refinement stage.

When she cultivates this method, she wears special magic treasures on her body to avoid being harmed by the flames.

That magic treasure is absolutely not ordinary; it doesn't need her to actively activate it to take effect, and although they are all fabric magic treasures, they can avoid fire.

I don't know much about alchemy, Clan Chief, what do you think?"

Wang Wang Xianmao pondered for a long time and said with some emotion.

"If there are no accidents, Red Eyebrow should already be preparing for Foundation Establishment.

Taking you all as disciples, on one hand, is to save on rent and prepare the foundation for impacting Foundation Establishment.

On the other hand, the Daoist inheritance he obtained is not good enough, perhaps he wants to use our Wang family to help him along.

By the way, how old is his daughter?"

Speaking to the end, Wang Wang Xianmao looked at Yulou, and in his heart, he suddenly calculated the possibility of a marriage alliance.

Marriage alliances are good.

Red Eyebrow is flirting and winking, wanting to use the Wang family as a spare tire.

The Wang family naturally wants to seize the opportunity to see if they can directly formalize it and absorb Red Eyebrow as a guest minister.

"Fifteen years old," Yulou said.

He naturally understood what Wang Wang Xianmao was thinking, and even thoughtfully added a sentence.

"Yu'an likes this Senior Sister of his very much."

The Clan Chief was amused by Yulou, who acted like a little adult.

Child, you are truly smart.

"Hahahaha, alright, these observations you made today are all very important.

Come, this is a reward for you."

"Spiritual wine?"

"Rank 8 Monkey Wine; with your cultivation, drinking a quarter of a cup at a time is enough.

This cup is also rewarded to you; go back and let your Master modify it and refine it into a bell to use."

Yulou had lived two lives, and this was the first time he had experienced the treatment of a large family's descendant.

Rank 8 spiritual wine given just like that.

A low-grade magic treasure level gold cup given directly.

Is this a Foundation Establishment immortal clan?

Too wealthy!

"Yulou will definitely cultivate well and not fail the clan's importance and encouragement!"

Hearing this, Wang Wang Xianmao nodded with satisfaction.

Only when a family has good talents generation after generation can it continue to flourish.

In Yulou, he saw steadiness and meticulousness, saw depth and wisdom, and even more saw the love for his brothers and relatives.

Thinking of this, he spurred him on.

"You must cultivate well; I am the Clan Chief of the Wang family now, but in the future, the Wang family will eventually be in your hands.

If your cultivation and strength are not enough, you won't be able to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the family.

Hmm... let's do this, the day after tomorrow I will take you to broaden your horizons, by the way, Yu'an too.

At that time, you just follow Brother Rongwen."

"I will strictly follow the Clan Chief's teachings, Yulou will definitely not forget!"

Wang Wang Xianmao smiled from ear to ear, but tightened up again very quickly; the speed at which a Foundation Establishment cultivator changed his face was so fast that Yulou couldn't detect it at all.

"Alright, alright, I also have some sauce donkey meat specially made by the clan here, take it and eat."

"This..."

Clan Chief, you really treat me like a child...

"And these spiritual fruits, Nianqiu gave them to me; don't let him see you when you eat them." ===== CHAPTER 16 =====
