Chapter 727 - 504: Wang Family Foundation Establishment Ancestor! Crystal Within Reach (Part 2)

"Husband, today we should have a grand feast, hold a banquet to celebrate."

Zhang Qingmiao, the eldest wife, approached Zheng Yi and softly suggested.

Beside her, Wang Yumo and Wang Xue were eager and full of anticipation.

Following their wishes, Zheng Yi said, "Then let’s proceed."

As soon as Zheng Yi spoke, the wives began to dance with joy and immediately set about sending invitations, inviting their relatives within the Wang Family.

They had quite a few relatives in the Wang Family, naturally wanting to celebrate together, lively and joyful.

Meanwhile.

Elsewhere in the Wang Family Territory, Wang Miaomiao had just stepped out of her cultivation courtyard.

She was escorted by the family steward to her grandfather, the study of the Second Elder within the clan.

Arriving at the study, Wang Miaomiao’s lips curled, her eyebrows like crescent moons.

Gone was the usual aloofness, fully displaying a playful demeanor of a young girl.

"Grandfather, haven’t you all been busy with the Young Clan Leader’s matters lately?

Why suddenly think of me, your little granddaughter?"

Wang Miaomiao lightly shook her head, affectionately leaning on the Second Elder’s left shoulder.

The Second Elder was originally deep in thought.

He was brought back by her antics, rolling his eyes helplessly, "You mischievous girl, next time, if you barge in like this without the courtesy of knocking at the study door.

How will you ever get married?"

Upon hearing this topic, Wang Miaomiao shook her head vigorously, pouting her pink lips and said, "I don’t want to get married! Grandfather, your granddaughter is going to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future.

Become someone like our Wang Family’s Ancestor."

"Even at the Foundation Establishment Realm, cultivation needs companionship.

The path of cultivation is arduous and dangerous; venturing alone brings risks, whereas traveling with a partner can be more stable."

The Second Elder slowly replied.

...

"Grandfather, what exactly do you mean by this?"

Inside the study, Wang Miaomiao wrinkled her nose, looking displeased.

Recalling back within the elder line.

She was the most outstanding one!

In her early youthful years.

She once harbored some romantic feelings, yet the Great Elder and Second Elder of the Wang Family both firmly rejected, even if the other party was close to the Young Clan Leader, the elders resolutely disagreed.

"Grandfather, are you hiding something from me?"

In an instant, Wang Miaomiao thought of this.

"How could that be."

The Second Elder instinctively leaned back, shrugged his shoulders, eyes flickering as if considering his words, but before he could speak, his granddaughter exposed him, "Grandfather, you must be hiding something from me! Every time you lie or try to deceive, you make these little gestures.

What’s the matter?

Am I not your biological granddaughter?"

Wang Miaomiao pursued.

"You silly girl."

The Second Elder’s gaze was filled with doting affection, laughing as he spoke, "If you weren’t my biological granddaughter, would you have access to so many resources within the elder line?

It’s just that another promising young person has emerged within the family."

"So what?"

Upon hearing her grandfather’s words, Wang Miaomiao was indifferent.

Under the nurturing of several elders.

She was second to none in the Wang Family and with Clan Leader Wang Xingyin’s recent failed breakthrough.

Her chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm had increased significantly, at this moment.

She found almost everyone beneath her, unless they belonged to a major sect like the Qingyun Sect.

"Well, as an elder, I’m just giving you a reminder; you should interact more with other members of the Wang Clan; you never know when it might be helpful to you."

Wang Miaomiao wanted to continue pestering, but no matter how she acted cute or spoiled, this time the Second Elder remained tight-lipped.

In fact, it wasn’t just the Second Elder who acted this way.

The other family members might not know yet that Zheng Yi could refine the Foundation Establishment Pill in the future, but his identity as a Third-grade Alchemist was already enough to attract the clan’s other elders.

Within the Skill Transmission Hall and Alchemy Pavilion, several alchemy apprentices looked toward Zheng Yi, faces full of disbelief.

"Zheng Yi has truly become a Third-grade Alchemist?

But his cultivation hasn’t broken through to late-stage Qi Refining. Isn’t it said that only after breaking through to late-stage Qi Refining can one possibly reach this realm?"

"Haha, that’s true for the general populace."

"Someone like Zheng Yi, an exceptional talent, naturally cannot be measured by ordinary standards.

Zheng Yi’s alchemy talent is something us ordinary folks cannot compare to."

The alchemy apprentices discussed until Zheng Yi entered the private room.

Only then did their gazes gradually pull back.

The morning passed, Zheng Yi prepared to dine at the Skill Transmission Hall.

Suddenly, the Young Clan Leader Wang Xingyin appeared before him.

The two had met not long ago.

Zheng Yi really couldn’t fathom why this Young Clan Leader had come to find him again.

Moreover, the look of him was fully geared, donned in a spirit robe, with a top-grade spiritual treasure on his back; it seemed he was preparing to go on a mission.

Just like his elusive presence in the family in previous years.

"Young Clan Leader, is there something?"

Zheng Yi looked at him in confusion.

Wang Xingyin chuckled, approached Zheng Yi amidst the crowd, others seeing this found it proper.

After all, Zheng Yi was presently a Third-grade Alchemist.

His status within the family was esteemed, almost on par with the Young Clan Leader, and considering Zheng Yi’s youth, if he someday became a Second-grade Alchemist.

The entire family would treat him like an ancestor.

"It’s rumored Zheng Yi is particularly fond of beauties, already has three beautiful consorts at home, and plans to continue marrying outside.

If so, why not consider marrying one of our Wang Family’s daughters this time? It’s beneficial for both Zheng Yi and the family."

As Young Clan Leader, Wang Xingyin naturally had his considerations.

Hearing this, Zheng Yi replied with a bitter smile, "That would depend on whether I’m fortunate enough; Wang Family’s daughters are not ones an ordinary person can marry."

Zheng Yi was speaking the truth.

If he hadn’t become a Third-grade Alchemist, he would have had no hope.

And Zheng Yi knew the Wang Family’s daughter he referred to was similar to Wang Xingyin’s words, one possessing a Spirit Root, since he already had three women without a Spirit Root.

The Young Clan Leader wouldn’t bother mentioning them.

"Perhaps others don’t know Zheng Yi’s capabilities, but the upper echelons in the family are quite clear.

Rest assured, Zheng Yi, within the Wang Family’s daughters, it’s only a question of whether they match up to you, never whether you match up to them."

Wang Xingyin patted Zheng Yi’s shoulder, raising his eyebrows, with a slight smile, "I hope next time I return to the family, I will hear the good news of Zheng Yi’s marriage to someone from the Wang Family.

At that time, I will surely send a generous wedding gift."

"Alright."

Zheng Yi agreed.

At this moment, he didn’t even know where this Wang Family’s daughter was, let alone discuss marriage.

Once the Young Clan Leader Wang Xingyin departed, another familiar figure appeared in front of Zheng Yi, Elder Wang.

Elder Wang’s face was solemn.

He looked at Zheng Yi, seeming to have something to ask yet swallowed his words.

"The family sent me to secretly protect you and specifically instructed me not to ask questions."

Elder Wang approached Zheng Yi and spoke directly.

"Since it’s the arrangement of the family’s elders, I accept."

Zheng Yi smiled faintly.

Soon after, Elder Wang quickly disappeared before him, not lingering.

Only then did Zheng Yi return home.

Now his residence had moved to a more convenient separate courtyard within the Wang Family’s territory.

A quarter of an hour later, Zheng Yi returned home.

...

"Father summoned me; what’s the matter?"

In the Great Elder’s manor, enveloped by mountains and streams, adjacent to the rear mountain, the spiritual qi concentration was second only to the previous spirit-gathering array and the ancestral hall where the Foundation Establishment Ancestor secluded.

Now, in the rear garden.

A graceful young woman stood there, with the faint surge of eighth-layer Qi Refining aura.

Though she was detected to have only a mid-grade spirit root, under the Great Elder’s years of resource support, she successfully cultivated to this realm.

This was the eldest lady of the Great Elder’s line, also the daughter of the Great Elder.

Like Wang Miaomiao earlier.

She too was devoted to the great path, deemed exemplary.
