Protect Our Patriarch

Book 1: Chapter 62: The Real Iron Man Wang Shouzhe

Um...

Wang Shouzhe didn't actually go far, he was secretly watching and listening from a distance. He still cared about his younger brothers and sisters in the clan.

At first, he nodded frequently while listening. With Wang Luoqiu around, these younger brothers and sisters all felt immense pressure. If this pressure could be transformed into motivation, it would be a good thing.

But when he heard that little girl talking nonsense later on, even Wang Shouzhe himself felt the need to suppress her.

Hehe~~ Wang Luoqiu, when the fourth brother comes back, he will give you some pressure and let you feel the care from your elder brother.

However, the fact remained that Wang Shouzhe still felt some pressure. He had to practice hard and not lose to them next year, or he would lose face.

With a large investment in the new generation of the clan, and with Wang Luoqiu, this "catfish spirit," stirring things up, these little brats' growth speed could not be slow.

However, Wang Shouzhe was still very pleased. If a clan wanted to be strong, how could it rely on just one person? The continuous supply of excellent clan offspring was the true foundation of a clan.

The young generation of the Wang Clan was in their best growth period.

It's just that the clan used to be too poor. It was already very difficult to support him, a direct descendant, to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining. The thirty-year-long process consumed nearly ten thousand Top Gold worth of cultivation resources, and the higher one cultivated, the more resources one needed.

The other younger brothers and sisters, even the eighth generation children, no matter how excellent their aptitude was, could not be cultivated like him. The clan could not afford a second Wang Shouzhe.

Therefore, the young generation could still have more resources before the age of twelve, but afterwards, resources would become scarcer and scarcer. There were more boys than girls, but the surplus was limited.

Now, these children were barely practicing with the resources saved by their elders. Take the third brother, Wang Shuonuo, for example. He finally reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refining at the age of twenty, but he still had to rely on squeezing his little sister's small cultivation pellets to break through.

The second brother, Wang Shuoyi, was already thirty-three years old, but he was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Why? There were certainly reasons for his mediocre aptitude, but the biggest culprit was the lack of resources.

Wang Shouzhe remembered Clock Steward, Clock Xingwang. His aptitude was certainly far inferior to his, and even among the Wang clan, he was mostly average. But now, he had become a formidable Lingtai Realm cultivator!

Why was that?

Because he was the direct bloodline of the Tianren clan. As long as he wasn't a waste without any bloodline, he could be piled up with resources until he reached the Lingtai Realm.

In other words, if Wang Shouzhe had an extremely vast and endless supply of resources, all these younger brothers and sisters could reach the Lingtai Realm.

If they enjoyed the same resources as him before his age, they might not be able to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining, but they would at least reach the fifth or barely the sixth level.

Wang Shouzhe's life was originally arranged very clearly. He would probably reach the Lingtai Realm at the age of 38 to 40. As for his younger brothers and sisters with mediocre aptitude, they would probably reach it at the age of 50 or 60, right?Of course, because of poor aptitude, overall cultivation is slow, and the longer the sprint period is delayed, the more resources will be consumed. Therefore, most families always prefer to cultivate children with good aptitude for the Lingtai Road.

But enough of the idle talk.

After secretly labeling "special care" for Wang Luoyi, Wang Shouzhe walked out dozens of yards, turned a few corners, and called Wang Gui over to a pond.

He took off his outer clothes, tore open a corner of his undershirt on his arm, and a large lump was clearly swollen on the outside of his arm.

The small and colorful spider's venom was really not weak. It is estimated that even a Xuanwu practitioner of the second or third level of Qi Refining Realm would not be able to get up after being bitten.

"Master!"

Wang Gui was startled, "I'll go get a doctor."

"No need, this little bit of poison has already been controlled." Wang Shouzhe remained calm and cut open a small wound, using his Xuan Qi to force out all the controlled poison.

Fortunately, the battle was resolved quickly just now. If it had been a stalemate, he might not have been able to control the poison.

This was just the venom of an ordinary poisonous insect, not a fierce insect. Otherwise, even Wang Shouzhe might not be able to control it.

This incident taught him a lesson. He must never underestimate anyone. In the future, he must also work hard on preventing poison, as there are many strange poisonous insects in this world.

After Wang Gui helped him clean the blood stains, he went to the door of Wang Luoyi's yard.

Wang Xiaoyu had been waiting here and welcomed Wang Shouzhe in.

At this time, Wang Luoyi also walked out of the main hall. When she saw her younger brother, she smiled: "Shouzhe, you finally came. Luomiao has been waiting and starving."

Wang Luoyi is twenty years old this year, the younger sister of Wang Shouzhe with the same parents. She naturally has a beautiful goddess-like appearance, and her temperament is calm and natural, with a dignified air of a first-born daughter.

She is only at the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining Realm, even though she is not too serious about cultivation and has no shortage of resources.

But it's no wonder that most girls in aristocratic families are like this when they practice. Unless they are girls who are going to walk the Lingtai Road, otherwise, even the eldest daughter will not achieve high levels.

Just like Madam Gongsun Hui, who married Wang Dingyue at the age of nineteen, she was only at the middle stage of the fourth level of Qi Refining Realm. Now she is thirty years old and is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining Realm, and her combat power is not worth mentioning!

Both the Gongsun and Wang clans are unable to support Gongsun Hui's breakthrough to the Lingtai Realm. Similarly, according to normal circumstances, the Wang and Donggang Chen clans do not have the resources to support Wang Luoyi's breakthrough to the Lingtai Realm.

Unless Wang Luoyi's aptitude is extremely outstanding, the family will spare no effort to cultivate her, but then she will have to walk a path similar to that of Ancestor Long Yan's Lingtai Road.

"Brother, I have met my sister. I met Shouyong, Luojing, and Luoyi on the way here and chatted with them for a while." Wang Shouzhe bowed and smiled, "Sorry for keeping you waiting, let's go and see Luomiao."At the same time, Wang Gui handed the gift to Wang Xiaoyu and then accompanied her to the side hall for dinner.

"You, why bring a gift to me?" Wang Luoyi lightly scolded, "You should save your money for cultivation resources. Here, take this 50 Top Gold gold that I saved up and use it." She was not involved in the family's finances and was unaware of the large amount of funds and resources injected into the Wang Clan.

"Big sister, you keep the money for yourself," Wang Shouzhe said seriously. "Also, big sister, you should work hard on your cultivation. With the rise of the Chen Clan, the probability of Chen Fangjie achieving the Lingtai realm in the future is not low."

As soon as she heard Chen Fangjie's name, Wang Luoyi blushed slightly and said, "Why are you talking about him?" After pausing for a moment, she added helplessly, "Even if I work hard on my cultivation, I won't be able to reach the Lingtai realm."

"That's not necessarily true. The future is long. You should focus on the present for now," Wang Shouzhe said. "Maybe one day, the situation will change."

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Wang Luoyi agreed and then took Wang Shouzhe's arm. "Let's go eat. Don't let the madam and little sister wait too long."

Wang Shouzhe didn't say anything more and followed her to the inner hall. He knew that although Wang Luoyi appeared gentle on the surface, she was actually very strong-willed. If she promised something, she would find a way to make it happen.

In the inner hall, an eight or nine-year-old girl with braids and a cute outfit ran over, saying, "Brother, brother, why did you take so long? Miao Miao's stomach is empty." She rubbed her little belly with a pitiful expression.

"Oh no, my little princess Miao Miao's stomach is empty. That's not good," Wang Shouzhe said, smiling as he picked her up with one hand. "Let me perform a magic trick for you as an apology. Watch carefully and don't blink."

As he spoke, he flipped his right hand and suddenly produced a bag of dried fish. This kind of snack was quite tasty, and the girls in the family seemed to like it a lot. Wang Luomiao was probably no exception.

"Wow, dried fish!" Wang Luomiao exclaimed. "But I already have a lot of these."

Wang Luoyi, who was standing next to her, covered her mouth and laughed. "Your trick doesn't work, Shouzhe. Lici has already given us a lot of dried fish. I have some too."

Wang Shouzhe rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. Didn't Wang Lici "embezzle" the dried fish resources and start making alliances? But then again, he didn't want to offend Luomiao and Luoyi, who were the older sister and younger sister of the great demon king Fourth Uncle.

Okay, the big girl was quite philosophical about survival.

Yes, all the teachings he had given her during this period of time were not in vain. He would have to work harder in the future.

"You should use more creativity when trying to please your little sister. Luomiao is already eight years old," Wang Luoyi said, finding the situation amusing."Yes, yes, Miaomiao is already eight years old, not a childish little girl of four or five." Wang Luomiao blinked her bright eyes and said teasingly, "Brother, can't you be more considerate?"

"Alright, then brother will perform a set of boxing techniques for you." Wang Shouzhe said helplessly, "You little girl, you're getting more and more difficult to please."

"Ugh"

Wang Luomiao slapped her forehead, revealing an expression of utter despair. She looked at Wang Shouzhe with disdain and said, "Brother, which girl would like to watch a boxing performance? If you don't learn how to please girls, you'll have a hard time after sister-in-law Ruo Lan enters the family. It's fortunate that our Ancestor arranged your marriage early, sigh~~"

As she spoke, she shook her head and sighed with an air of indignation.

Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched. According to this little girl, if the family didn't arrange the marriage, he, Wang Shouzhe, wouldn't be able to find a wife?
