Rise of Qinglian

In the next few days, Wang Qingzhi stayed behind closed doors, Wang Ruyan was busy contacting other immortal cultivating families, and Wang Qingshan moved freely. The Song family also invited the Wang family from Chu State to attend the birthday party, led by Wang Shuyi, Wang Ruyan's eleventh uncle.

Wang Shujuan introduced several representatives of Chu's immortal cultivating families to Wang Ruyan. Although they did not reach a cooperative relationship, they were still familiar with each other. It would be more convenient for them to cooperate in the future.

Three days later, the birthday of Song Hefeng, the ancestor of the Song family, was officially held, and representatives from various families sent congratulatory gifts one after another.

Song Hefeng sat on the main seat, wearing a red robe with a thick smile on his face.

The birthday guests stood on his left and right, and Song Qingxi, the head of the Song family, stood beside Song Hefeng.

"Cuiyunmen congratulates Senior Song on his great joy. Following Master Li's order, he presents a piece of gold essence weighing five and a half taels."

"The Liu family in Taohuayu, South Korea, congratulates Senior Song on his birthday and specially presents a 400-year-old white jade tree."

"The Mu family of South Korea's Black Jiaotan congratulates the ancestors of the Song Dynasty on their longevity, and specially presents a section of the 400-year-old purple golden bamboo."

······

Representatives from each family came forward one after another to offer congratulatory gifts.

Except for the representatives of Cuiyun Sect, the congratulatory gifts offered by representatives of other forces were all second-level spiritual objects.

After the representatives from South Korea sent congratulatory gifts, it was the turn of the representatives from Wei.

Not long after, it was Wang Ruyan's turn.

She took a step forward and said respectfully: "The Wang family of Qinglian Mountain in Wei State congratulates Senior Song on his birthday and specially presents two second-level middle-grade puppet beasts."

"The Wang family of Qinglian Mountain? Are you the grand-niece of fellow Taoist Wang Huashan? Why didn't little friend Wang come?"

Song Hefeng nodded and asked calmly.

"Replying to Senior Song, my husband and Uncle Twenty-one are both in seclusion and cannot escape, so I specially asked me to come here to celebrate my birthday."

Wang Ruyan did not dare to neglect and explained hurriedly.

Song Hefeng nodded and said: "You have come all the way to celebrate your birthday. You are very considerate. If nothing happens, you can stay in Taihua Mountain for a few more days."

"Yes, I'll excuse you, junior."

Wang Ruyan agreed, feeling a little confused.

Even if Song Hefeng did not need to keep her for a few more days for the sake of Wang Huashan and Guangdong Ren, it was obvious that the Song family had something to do with the Wang family.

The Wang family and the Song family have no friendship. Could it be that the Song family has a crush on those puppet beasts of the Wang family? That shouldn’t be the case!

Wang Ruyan really couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

After all the guests sent their congratulatory gifts, Song Hefeng stood up and quickly glanced at the guests present.

"Today is my 400th birthday. Most of my Taoist friends are Korean monks, and a few are monks from other countries. You have come all the way to wish me a happy birthday. I would like to express my gratitude here."

Song Hefeng said politely.

"Senior Song, you're welcome. This is what we should do."

"That's right, this junior has long wanted to see Senior Song. It's our honor to be able to wish Senior Song his birthday."

Listening to the compliments of the birthday guests, Song Hefeng nodded with satisfaction.

"I have something very important to announce. My cousin Song Hezhe has successfully entered the Dan-Jie stage. He is still practicing at Chongyang Academy and cannot come back for the time being. This is a great pity."

After hearing this, the guests present were stunned for a moment, but they quickly came to their senses and congratulated each other.

Wang Ruyan was not surprised. The Song family spent a lot of manpower and material resources to hold a birthday banquet for Song Hefeng. There must be something big to announce.

Chongyang Academy is one of the seven great immortal sects in the Eastern Wasteland. Members of the Song family who worship under the sect of Chongyang Academy form elixirs. Not to mention Korea, monks from several surrounding countries must also give face to the Song family in case the Song family members leave. If you are lucky enough to advance to the Yuanying stage, provoking the Song family is asking for death.

With this amulet, the Song family's caravan can enter and leave the surrounding countries at will.

"It's almost time. Let's start the banquet. Please forgive me if the reception is not good enough."

After having enough wine and food, the guests left one after another.

Back at his residence, Wang Ruyan called everyone for a meeting to brainstorm ideas.

After thinking about it, they couldn't figure out the purpose of the Song family letting them stay for a few more days. Was it really for the puppet beast?

"Forget it, the soldiers will cover up the water and the earth. Whether it is a blessing or a disaster, everyone must stay in their residences and are not allowed to go out."

The next morning, Song Qingxi, the head of the Song family, came to the door.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Song Qingxi explained the purpose of his visit: "Mrs. Wang, I heard that your Wang family is good at refining puppet beasts. Our Song family is also interested in puppet beasts and would like to reserve puppet beasts with you. What do you think?"

"Ordering puppet beasts? Our Wang family is just a small clan. Fellow Daoist Song wants to order puppet beasts. Why not book it with Tianbing Sect? The number of puppet beasts sold by Tianbing Sect is definitely no less than that of our Wang family. Furthermore, several surrounding countries can refine puppets. The beast's cultivating family is not only our Wang family, but your Song family chose our Wang family?"

Wang Ruyan's face was full of doubts.

"We do think so, but the puppet beasts of the Heavenly Arms Sect are already on the market. As for why we chose your Wang family, it was mainly for the sake of Senior Guang and Senior Wang. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

After Song Hezhe formed the elixir, the Song family ushered in a golden period of development. The Song family planned to make close and far-reaching attacks, win over the surrounding immortal-cultivating families, and strengthen its own strength. At the same time, it would be beneficial to the Song family's future development by making good friends with the stronger immortal-cultivating families in the surrounding countries.

The overall strength of the Wang family is not the strongest cultivating family in the surrounding countries, but there are two alchemy monks behind the Wang family, which is much stronger than other cultivating families.

"I represent the Wang family and am willing to sell you the Song family puppet beast, but what can you sell to us?"

"Spiritual fruit, our Song family has planted many spiritual fruit trees, and we sell you two thousand kilograms of spiritual fruit every year. How about that?"

Wang Ruyan negotiated with Song Qingxi for a long time before reaching an agreement.

The Song family sells two thousand kilograms of first-level spiritual fruits to the Wang family every year. The Wang family sells one hundred puppet beasts and five hundred purple-scaled crucian carps to the Song family every year. In addition, the Song family rents two thousand kilograms of Qinglianfang City opened by the Wang family. Do business in a shop.

The two families are too far apart. Wei and South Korea used to be hostile. If they marry, the Wang family may be in trouble. The Song family has no intention of marrying with the Wang family, and the marriage with the Wang family has not gained much benefit.

"Mrs. Wang, we brewed this Ziyun brew with Ziyun fruit. It tastes pretty good. You can have a try."

Song Qingxi took out a jar of spiritual wine and gave it to Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan thanked him and accepted the jar of spiritual wine.

Three days later, Wang Ruyan and others left Taihua Mountain. They rode their green-scaled horses and headed straight for the Kingdom of Wei.

More than three months later, Wang Ruyan and his party returned to Wangjiapu.

After returning to Wangjiapu, Wang Ruyan called Wang Mingsen and briefly explained his trip to South Korea.

Wang Mingsen was very happy to learn that the Wang family and the Fang family had booked a large amount of spiritual beans.

"Great. In this way, not only can we raise more spiritual fish, but we can also save some costs."

"Uncle Twenty-Two, are Qingzhi and Qi Shanshan very close? They haven't done anything extraordinary, right?"

Wang Ruyan asked solemnly.

"They are relatively close, but based on my understanding of Qingzhi, he is not this kind of person. However, they have been together for a long time. They are alone and alone, so it is difficult to say."

"Help me keep an eye on them and don't let them do anything wrong. In addition, send more people to learn fish farming techniques from Qi Shanshan. Try to learn the fish farming techniques she masters as much as possible. By the way, don't let others touch her. , I will strictly discipline Qingzhi, and we can’t let them stay together anymore.”

Wang Mingsen nodded and said, "Okay, I know what to do."
