Protect Our Patriarch

Wang Shouzhe looked at his somewhat excited expression and said earnestly, "Seeing your excitement, Fourth Uncle is also deeply gratified. After you have learned some skills from those masters, I will send you to the foreign regions for some experience."

Fourth Uncle, please be a human~

Wang Zongchang's hand holding the Night Shadow Armor was slightly trembling, and he was so "moved" that tears were almost falling.

Just as the two were talking, Wang Lici and Wang Zongan came back from school.

Three years had passed, and Wang Lici had now blossomed into a graceful young girl.

Thanks to her parents' excellent genes, although she was only eleven or twelve years old, she already had some goddess-like qualities. Especially her large almond eyes, brimming with confidence and vitality, were very likable.

The "Junior Clan Leader" Wang Zongan had also grown much taller and stronger than a few years ago, and he had the look of a young man.

His nose inherited from Liu Ruolan was straight and handsome, which made his entire face more three-dimensional and cool.

However, his temperament was neither like Wang Shouzhe's gentle and refined style, nor like Liu Ruolan's gentle and grand style. Instead, as he grew older, he became more and more like "Liu Ruoling". It was unknown where the problem lay.

However, he had always been steady and low-key, not liking to show off. Just like usual, he quietly followed behind his sister, looking like a serious little adult.

"Greetings to father, greetings to second brother."

When the two children saw Wang Shouzhe and Wang Zongchang in the yard, they came forward to pay their respects according to the rules. This was how the clan worked, where seniority and age were very important. Even if they were the direct descendants, they still had to pay their respects when they saw their elder brothers.

Wang Zongchang also quickly stood up and returned the greeting, "Hello, third sister, fifth brother."

Wang Lici was ranked third among the girls with the character "Lici" in their names. And Wang Zongan was ranked fifth among the boys with the character "Zong" in their names.

After the greetings, the two sat down and chatted with Wang Zongchang.

And Wang Zongchang also shared some of his insights on learning and cultivation with them.

It's not that because Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan were powerful, they only needed to listen to their guidance. Everyone has their unique views and ideas on cultivation and learning, and exchanging ideas with each other can help to learn from each other's strengths.

Moreover, communicating with others is also a skill, which helps to build close relationships among clan members.

Therefore, Wang Shouzhe just sipped his tea and didn't interrupt.

Over the years, the younger generation of the Wang's Clan was growing rapidly, and the population was expanding rapidly.

Although Wang Shouzhe's son and daughter were still young, they already showed some promising signs.

His daughter, Wang Lici, was clearly more outgoing and had some of her own unique ideas. Although she was young, she did not blindly follow Wang Zongchang's advice. Her thinking was quite imaginative, and her perspective on issues was often different from others, but she often asked some questions that made Wang Zongchang think.

Wang Zongan, on the other hand, was much more steady and serious, sitting upright like a little adult.

He mostly listened and rarely spoke, but whenever he did, his words were always insightful and thought-provoking.

Seeing that both his son and daughter were quite outstanding, Wang Shouzhe was very pleased.

His daughter was naturally intelligent.

Her bloodline talent had reached the upper second-class level, and she was born with the awakening of the second-level water element bloodline, only two steps away from the third-level bloodline.

If she had the opportunity to reach the third-level bloodline in the Qi Refining Stage, she would directly reach the fourth-level bloodline after advancing to the Spiritual Platform Stage, and it would be amazing to transform into a water spirit body.

However, the higher the bloodline, the more difficult it is to improve.

To make her reach the third-level bloodline in the Qi Refining Stage, the difficulty is not small. The effect of the Marrow Cleansing Pill is not strong anymore, and she needs to drink Stone Marrow like Wang Lici to have an effect.

But no matter how difficult it is, he has to find a way.

Otherwise, once she advances to the Spiritual Platform Stage, her bloodline will increase by one level, and it will be even more difficult to improve her bloodline.

In short.

It is easier to reach the third-level bloodline in the Qi Refining Stage first, and then rely on the advancement of the Spiritual Platform Stage to rush to the fourth-level bloodline (Spirit Body), than to reach the fourth-level bloodline (Spirit Body) based on the third-level bloodline after reaching the Spiritual Platform Stage.

In addition, although his son Wang Zongan's bloodline talent is not as good as his sister's, it has also reached the middle second-class level of the Wood Element bloodline.

Unlike Wang Shouzhe's unknown bloodline, Wang Zongan's is a standard Wood Element bloodline.

This made Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but wonder if his original body should also have a Wood Element bloodline, but due to the transmigration, some unknown changes occurred, causing his bloodline to mutate.

But this can only be a suspicion, and it is impossible to verify.

However, the awakening level of Wang Zongan's Wood Element bloodline has only reached the middle level of the first layer. The safest way for future development is to use the Marrow Cleansing Pill to see to what extent the Wood Element bloodline can be awakened.

If it can directly reach the upper third-class level, he can awaken the second-level bloodline in the Qi Refining Stage. Even if the Marrow Cleansing Pill cannot achieve this effect, there is still the Primary Talent Improvement Liquid to use in the future.

In short.

Wang Shouzhe's expectation for his son is that he can awaken the second-level bloodline in the Qi Refining Stage. Then, relying on the advancement of the Spiritual Platform Stage, he can increase his bloodline by one level due to the leap in his life level.

In this way, Zongan will have a third-level bloodline after advancing to the Spiritual Platform Stage, which is similar to Luo Qiu, Luo Jing, and Zongchang. There will be no problem in advancing to the Heavenly Human Stage in the future, and he even has the qualification to rush to the Purple Mansion.

However, the price of things that can improve talent is very high, and it will cost a huge fortune to cultivate either the son or the daughter.

Therefore, Wang Shouzhe attaches more and more importance to the development of the family business and has been expanding his wealth.

Over the years.

The Wang's Clan has undergone earth-shaking changes, continuously increasing the production of cement, glass, and paper. At the same time, beauty and skincare products, mirrors, and other auxiliary products are also being developed.In addition, with the continuous development of terraced fields, the number of fertile lands owned by the Wang's Clan was also increasing, and the harvest of high-quality grains had become more abundant. By selling these high-quality grains privately, they made a fortune.

There was also the situation in Qianma Town.

The livestock industry in Qianma Town had been operating at a break-even point due to constant price suppression, with little profit. However, the tactical effect was strong, suffocating the Huangfu's Clan and causing them to suffer losses year after year.

But don't forget, Qianma Town also had two hundred and fifty acres of spiritual fields. After planting high-quality spiritual rice, it brought great benefits to the Wang's Clan.

Then there was the Jinsha Xu's Clan, with silk weaving workshops being continuously invested in and producing large quantities of high-quality silk. In addition to enriching the Jinsha Xu's Clan and Changning Xu's Clan, it also brought a large amount of Top Gold income to the Wang's Clan.

Adding all these together, the annual total income of the Wang's Clan had now exceeded one million Top Gold, achieving a great accomplishment.

If this continues.

Given time, it is possible for the Wang's Clan to become the richest in Longzuo Commandery.

For this reason, Wang Shouzhe was considering the issue of nurturing his children in a more long-term perspective. Unlike himself and Liu Ruolan, who had to advance to the Spirit Platform Realm before they had reached the third level of Qi Refining Realm.

Making up for it later was naturally not easy.

During his contemplation, the conversation between Wang Liyao, Wang Zong'an, and Wang Zongchang had ended. Wang Zongchang got up to bid farewell to Wang Shouzhe, ready to embark on his path as a thief.

After Wang Zongchang left, only the father and his two children were left in the courtyard. Wang Zong'an and Wang Liyao were no longer so formal, their expressions and attitudes became much more relaxed.

Wang Zong'an looked at Wang Shouzhe and said, "Father, mother has been in seclusion recently, do you know when she will come out? I miss her."

Speaking of which, Liu Ruolan had been in seclusion for three months now.

Her main purpose of this seclusion was to break through from the third level of the Spirit Platform Realm to the fourth level. This was truly a terrifying cultivation speed, worthy of being close to the existence of the Original Water Spirit Body.

Ever since she advanced to the Spirit Platform Realm, with the Original Water Spirit Pearl and abundant resources, her cultivation had been increasing day by day. In just a few short years, she had reached the early peak of the Spirit Platform Realm.

If this continues, wouldn't she be able to challenge the Heavenly Man Realm in her fifties or sixties?

Comparing oneself to others can be frustrating~

Wang Shouzhe was now also at the early stage of the Spirit Platform Realm with a third-level bloodline, but after striving hard to cultivate to this point, he was only at the peak of the second level of the Spirit Platform Realm.

To cultivate to the middle stage, it would probably take several more years of hard work.

"Given your mother's talent, it shouldn't take this long." Wang Shouzhe's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Come, I'll take you to Shuiyue Pavilion."

With that, Wang Shouzhe took his son and daughter by boat to the small island exclusive to the couple.

The "Shuiyue Pavilion" on this small island was their place of "solitude".

And Liu Ruolan had been in deep seclusion here for a long time.

As the main wife of the Wang's Clan, she knew the heavy burden on her husband's shoulders, so she accelerated her cultivation progress. If she could advance to the Heavenly Man Realm earlier, she could relieve her husband of a lot of pressure.

At the entrance of Shuiyue Pavilion, a huge Original Water Spirit Turtle was lazily basking its shell on a large rock.

Recently, its main task had shifted from sending children to and from school to guarding the "master" in seclusion.

As soon as the Original Water Spirit Turtle saw Wang Shouzhe, it suddenly perked up, stretching its limbs and raising its head high, looking like a loyal "spirit beast".

Ever since it became the "clan's spirit beast" from a wild beast, its life had been much more leisurely. Not only could it eat ordinary fish and meat at will, but it also had no less than a thousand pounds of fierce beast meat supplied every year.

Such a happy life, even if it could go back to the past, it would not be willing.

Therefore.

Pleasing the master who was connected by blood and also its daily work was one of its tasks. The huge head rubbed affectionately against Wang Shouzhe.

Wang Shouzhe patted its head, didn't pay much attention to it, but instead activated his spiritual sense and probed into the Shuiyue Pavilion.

The biggest change in the Spirit Platform Realm was in the spiritual sense, equivalent to what was called mental power or divine consciousness on Earth.

The function of divine consciousness was incredibly mysterious, often even replacing the eyes.

Although the distance covered by the spiritual sense of a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator was quite limited, not more than a few feet at most, its impact on combat and daily life was huge.

Through his spiritual sense, Wang Shouzhe "sensed" that Liu Ruolan was still in seclusion. The Original Water Spirit Pearl was floating in front of her, emitting a bright blue light, enveloping her.

Just as Wang Shouzhe was about to withdraw his divine consciousness.

Suddenly.

A massive and suffocating aura emanated from Liu Ruolan.

"Boom!"

The Original Water energy intertwined with her divine consciousness and spread out, instantly shattering the roof of the Shuiyue Pavilion and shooting straight into the sky.

At the same time.

A vague figure with an imposing aura appeared behind Liu Ruolan.

In the misty water mist, her appearance was somewhat blurred, only revealing that she was sitting cross-legged, her posture exactly the same as Liu Ruolan's. Her figure was graceful and dignified, very similar to Liu Ruolan.

But compared to Liu Ruolan herself, this figure had an oppressive aura emanating from within, intangible and formless, but it made people's hearts palpitate for no reason, as if they were facing some terrifying existence.

Dharma Body Illusion!

Wang Shouzhe's expression froze, he quickly withdrew his divine consciousness and pulled his children's hands to retreat far away. This should be his wife's breakthrough, he must not disturb her.

At the same time.

The Original Water Spirit Turtle also sensed something, it lay on the ground, swinging its long head up and down, as if it was worshipping the powerful Original Water Mystical Power.

As the light flickered.

The seated female god Dharma Body Illusion became clearer and clearer, even her facial features were constantly condensing into reality, eventually turning into Liu Ruolan's appearance, and continuously emitting a light blue Original Water Treasure Light.

Such a powerful Dharma Body Illusion.

Wang Shouzhe was also amazed.He had seen Liu Ruolan's Dharma phantom before, but it was never as powerful as it was today. Could the strength transformation from the early stage of the Spirit Platform Realm to the middle stage be so formidable?

Wang Shouzhe was secretly puzzled.

After a long while.

The Dharma phantom gradually faded away, as if everything had returned to tranquility.

Soon, Liu Ruolan floated out from the Shuiyue Pavilion.

Under the sunlight, her pretty face and jade arms, which originally had delicate skin that seemed to break at the slightest touch, seemed to be covered with a layer of treasure light, as if a goddess of the primordial water had descended to the world.

Only the Primordial Water Spirit Pearl held in her slender hand had lost all its radiance, turning into a lifeless pearl.

"My lady, are you alright?" Wang Shouzhe hurriedly approached, full of concern.

Under normal circumstances, breaking through from the early stage of the Spirit Platform Realm to the middle stage wouldn't be too dangerous. However, the momentum of her breakthrough just now was too overwhelming, leaving him puzzled.

"My lord."

Liu Ruolan floated closer, and both of them held each other's hands.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with joy, "My lord, don't worry, I'm fine, everything went smoothly."

"That's good, that's good."

Wang Shouzhe was relieved, looking her up and down, he found that her cultivation had once again greatly improved, becoming unfathomable, he couldn't see through it at all.

This was a situation that would only occur when her cultivation level far exceeded his.

"Congratulations, my lady." Wang Shouzhe showed a sincere smile on his face, "From now on, my lady is a master of the middle stage of the Spirit Platform Realm. Given the speed of my lady's advancement, reaching the Heavenly Realm is just around the corner."

While he was overjoyed, he was also somewhat envious.

The bloodline talent of his lady truly made him envious. Once the cultivation resources were in place, coupled with her own diligence, her cultivation level would soar like a rocket.

"It's more than that." Liu Ruolan, holding Wang Shouzhe's hand tightly, said with a joyful face, "When I was breaking through, I tried to use the effect of the Primordial Water Spirit Pearl, but I didn't expect to absorb the trace of the Primordial Water Source Power in it, which eventually led to a transformation in my bloodline, and I ascended another step."

Ascended another step? Had she reached the level of the Primordial Water Spirit Body?

Wang Shouzhe was pleasantly surprised and looked at Liu Ruolan curiously again, "No wonder my lady has become even more beautiful, this skin is really tender and moist! It feels like it would drip water if pinched."

The transformation of Liu Ruolan's bloodline, successfully becoming a Primordial Water Spirit Body, was indeed a surprise, but it was also within reason.

After all, she was born with a top-grade Primordial Water talent, and she had long been a high-level dual-bloodline of Primordial Water. After taking the primary bloodline improvement liquid, although she did not directly break through to the triple bloodline, she was not far off.

Then she advanced to the Spirit Platform Realm, her life level evolved, and her bloodline ascended another major level, only half a step away from the quadruple bloodline. Now that she had crossed this half step, it was only natural that she had transformed into a Primordial Water Spirit Body.

"My lord, don't stare at me like that, it's too embarrassing." Liu Ruolan's beautiful eyes narrowed, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

"What's there to be afraid of? We're an old couple." Wang Shouzhe held her hand tightly, "We've been in seclusion for three months, do you know how much I've missed you?"

"My lord, our child is still here, don't be so shameless." Liu Ruolan's eyes were filled with a happy and shy light, and she stomped her foot in a "light scolding".

Wang Zong'an and Wang Liyao, who were standing by, looked at each other and sighed quietly.

It's really touching~ Mother, you finally remembered us.

The siblings stepped forward to greet their mother and express their feelings of longing.

"That's right, the children are still here~" Wang Shouzhe glanced at them disdainfully, then ordered, "Wang Liyao, you take your brother and ride the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle back first. Your mother and I have important matters to discuss. You go and tell the kitchen to prepare some dinner, and we'll eat together when we get back."

The two children were on the verge of tears.

Why does it have to be so realistic?

The two of them had just met, and they were already so affectionate, and they even found them annoying?

Fortunately, they had been used to this since they were young, and being disliked was not a new experience. The siblings looked at each other, sighed again, and obediently rode the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle back.

Ah~ Father's orders cannot be disobeyed~

"My lord, is this really okay?" Liu Ruolan glanced at their retreating figures from afar, feeling somewhat reluctant.

"Weren't you also not stopping it just now?" Wang Shouzhe smiled and caressed her increasingly delicate hand, "Don't worry, the children are grown up, they are more sensible than you think. Let's not talk about this for now, we haven't seen each other for three months, and my lady has cultivated into a Primordial Water Spirit Body. I can't wait to experience the power of the Primordial Water Spirit Body."

"My lord, it's not that Ruolan looks down on you, I'm just afraid you won't be able to handle it." Liu Ruolan's beautiful eyes were also filled with water, just as Wang Shouzhe said, they were an old couple, and she wouldn't be too shy when they were alone.

"Haha!" Wang Shouzhe laughed confidently, "My lady, don't joke, don't you know your husband's abilities? I'm not a vegetarian!"

Then.

An hour later, a slightly hoarse and weak voice of Wang Shouzhe came from the island in the middle of the lake, "My lady, it's getting late, the children are still waiting for us to have dinner."

"What? You still want to spar. No, no, no, people are iron, rice is steel... and the children..."

"Help!"
