Chapter 709 - 495: Wang Family’s Top Prodigy, Wang Xingyin (2)

After all.

There is ultimately a gap between the first and the second.

Zheng Yi glanced at her, his gaze slightly lifted, somewhat surprised that this girl had broken through to the late-stage Qi Refining so quickly.

"The resources of the Wang Family and the spirit veins beneath Piaomiao Mountain are pretty good, a rare find among smaller families."

Zheng Yi thought to himself, ignoring the other party.

However, the young lady of the Wang Family stopped him.

Zheng Yi looked at her, puzzled, not really understanding why, since from the surface it seemed he posed no threat to her.

"I’ve encountered some confusion in alchemy these days, could Brother Zheng Yi help me out?"

Wang Miaomiao said softly.

Zheng Yi smiled faintly, without any hesitation, and handed her the alchemy experiences he had summarized.

"Thank you, Brother Zheng Yi."

Wang Miaomiao gladly accepted.

Zheng Yi nodded and left the Alchemy Pavilion.

He didn’t want to get involved in the struggle between the Wang Family’s first and second prodigies, which represented the conflict between the Wang Family’s Second Elder, several elders, and the patriarch’s faction.

The saying goes, "Small temple, fierce winds; shallow waters, many turtles," although the Wang Family is small, it’s well-rounded, and internal strife is inevitable.

Nonetheless, Zheng Yi had no desire to get entangled in this turmoil.

He only wanted to focus on alchemy and cultivation, other matters were none of his concern.

Wang Miaomiao watched Zheng Yi’s figure fade into the distance, giving him a fixed glance, her heart a blend of emotions.

"I do envy him a bit, without the pressure to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, content with the present."

Wang Miaomiao shook her head.

She quickly returned to her private chamber, starting to delve into the alchemy method.

Just as Zheng Yi guessed, the current cultivation resources in the family, including a large number of spirit stones, were being prepared for the upcoming Foundation Establishment Pill auction.

Not to mention acquiring two Foundation Establishment Pills.

Even for one, the family must go all out to have a chance to secure it.

This time, all the family’s elders, even the Foundation Establishment realm ancestor, had to step in to hold the ground.

Otherwise.

Even if they won the Foundation Establishment Pill, without a Foundation Establishment expert to guard it, it would be making wedding clothes for others.

The family’s major mobilization was not for herself, which made Wang Miaomiao anxious.

Upon entering her private chamber, even with Zheng Yi’s alchemy experience summary.

She still couldn’t succeed in refining.

"Boom!"

Another explosion from the Pill Furnace further irritated Wang Miaomiao.

Usually when she practiced alchemy, she wouldn’t fail even if multitasking, but now everything was different.

...

Back in the Immortal Seedling Area, everyone was gathered around discussing the Young Family Head.

"The Young Family Head is just one step away from achieving a top-grade Spirit Root, unlike us with low-grade Spirit Roots, probably hopeless for Foundation Establishment Realm this lifetime."

"If we could achieve Foundation Establishment, we’d have been taken by Qingyun Sect long ago, not be in the Wang Family."

"The Wang Family is already very good, without such a cultivation clan, those of us with low-grade Spirit Roots wouldn’t be able to step into the path of cultivation in this life.

Previously I returned home, even the respected seniors in the clan treated me with great hospitality."

Most of the Immortal Seeds were grateful to the Wang Family.

They felt the treatment in the Wang Family was good and considerate.

When the Wang Family needed help, everyone was willing to lend a hand, though in life-and-death moments, it might be different.

From the beginning, the Wang Family didn’t have high expectations for them, the current mode of interaction was well-received by all.

After years of cultivation by the Wang Family.

The Immortal Seeds understood.

It’s a mutually beneficial relationship.

Zheng Yi appeared here.

The surrounding Immortal Seeds approached him, looking at Zheng Yi, they couldn’t help but marvel.

"If the resources of the Young Family Head were given to you, even if unable to achieve the Foundation Establishment Realm, you could reach top-grade Spirit Root."

"Among our family’s young generation, there are only three with top-grade Spirit Roots: Wang Miaomiao, Wang Qingming, and the Young Family Head."

"I’m already satisfied with how things are today."

Zheng Yi responded to the crowd with a smile.

Everyone knew Zheng Yi’s nature, recognizing he was not just speaking empty words.

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Zheng Yi has talent in alchemy, his prospects are already quite promising, we need not worry overly."

"Fellow Daoist Zheng Yi, have you recently had any spare cultivation resources? We’d like to consider purchasing at a fair price, offering mutual assistance."

The conversation, though containing trade intentions, was imbued with a sense of mutual help.

Though Zheng Yi didn’t appreciate moral coercion, he didn’t refuse either.

In daily life, he arranged auxiliary arrays and often traded with these Immortal Seeds, internal trade could save some expenses. Although Zheng Yi wasn’t concerned about the small money, he wouldn’t feign generosity.

After a round of trading, the Immortal Seeds dispersed.

Zheng Yi returned to his residence.

His wives and Master Zhang’s daughter, without any prompt, avoided mentioning the Young Family Head, fearing it might affect Zheng Yi’s mood.

Zheng Yi noticed their consideration.

He took the initiative to say, "If the Young Family Head can break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Wang Family will be stable for another hundred years."

Seeing Zheng Yi’s calm demeanor, Zhang Qingmiao, Master Zhang’s daughter, immediately responded, "The Foundation Establishment Realm is indeed fundamental for the family’s heritage, so the family is going all out this time.

Even the ancestor stepped in, all for that single Foundation Establishment spiritual object."

Right now!

All in the family still believed they sought a spiritual object, rather than a Foundation Establishment Pill.

This family secret wouldn’t be easily disclosed to outsiders, or it would become a joke.

Zheng Yi nodded slightly.

As the conversation flowed, other wives like Wang Qingg, Wang Yumo, and others joined in the discussion.

This was, after all, the most significant event in the family recently.

They could hardly be unaware.

It was merely out of consideration for Zheng Yi’s feelings.

"If the Young Family Head can break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Wang Family will have another Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"With two in one family at Foundation Establishment, perhaps our Wang Family wouldn’t be contained to just Piaomiao Mountain, maybe obtaining more resources, and you could also receive some.

Your mid-grade Spirit Root might further improve, as long as it’s not yet a top-grade Spirit Root, there are still treasures to repair the Spirit Root."

"If you could become a second-grade Alchemist, the Wang Family would surely hold you in higher regard."

Zhang Qingmiao said, tapping with her chopsticks, eyes filled with expectation.

Zheng Yi smiled placidly, "Currently, your husband hasn’t even become a third-grade Alchemist, second-grade is still far off."

"Husband can definitely achieve it!"

Wang Xue was the first to exclaim loudly.

Then Wang Qingg and Wang Yumo echoed, "We believe in you, husband has never disappointed us."

Finally, Zhang Qingmiao also giggled and said, "Father mentioned multiple times at home, husband’s aptitude is stronger than his, becoming a third-grade Alchemist should be no issue."

Seeing Zhang Qingmiao’s confidence, the other wives felt even more assured.

"See, husband, we’re not short-sighted."

"Husband, we definitely won’t disturb your cultivation."

"So, where does husband want to go tonight?"

Wang Xue asked playfully.

After she spoke, the wives’ eyes sparkled.

Wang Xue brazenly extended her hand.

Zheng Yi gave her a sidelong glance, and Wang Xue immediately looked crestfallen.

She was pregnant now, merely wanting to liven up the atmosphere.

Zhang Qingmiao smiled gently, "Naturally, wherever husband wants to go, we girls wouldn’t stand in the way of husband."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingg’s eyes darkened slightly, but she understood Zhang Qingmiao’s family background and the tangible support she could offer Zheng Yi, which was beyond a few years of affection.

However, Zheng Yi’s following response stirred ripples in the hearts of the wives around: "Then let’s head to the main wife’s place first; harmony in the residence is essential."

Zheng Yi seemed unaware of the subtle thoughts among the wives, simply making a choice based on his own intentions.

After the meal, Zheng Yi wrapped an arm around the main wife’s shoulder, heading to her courtyard.

The other wives said no more, each returning to their own courtyards.

In the Tingxiang Garden, as soon as Zhang Qingmiao entered.

The chubby maid beside her puffed her cheeks, hands on hips, feeling indignant on her lady’s behalf: "Master really lacks insight."
