Chapter 746 - 514: Wang Family United, Consecutive Breakthroughs

The Second Elder waved his right hand.

The overwhelming spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment Realm instantly condensed into a slap, striking hard toward Wang Miaomiao’s cheek.

"Alchemist Zheng Yi is now a Third Elder of the family, a benefactor to your grandfather! How dare you shout so disrespectfully in front of the Third Elder?

I am so disappointed in you, Miaomiao!"

The Second Elder’s expression was stern as he looked at his granddaughter Wang Miaomiao.

Gone was the kindness of the past, replaced by sheer disappointment and coldness.

"If it weren’t for Alchemist Zheng Yi, the person standing before you today wouldn’t be alive but a corpse! From this day forward, Wang Miaomiao, you are no longer my granddaughter, just an ordinary member of the Wang Clan.

Return when you realize your mistakes, and we can discuss other things then!"

With these words, the Second Elder pushed Wang Miaomiao into such a predicament.

Wang Miaomiao raised her small, oval face.

She looked incredulously at her grandfather, who had always pampered her from childhood to adulthood, "Why?

Grandfather, why is this happening?"

"Stupid beyond belief, dull as a pig!"

Looking at Wang Miaomiao in front of him, the Second Elder shook his head in greater disappointment.

His words were clear enough, and anyone in the clan could guess most of the truth, yet Wang Miaomiao still kept asking.

The Second Elder, along with Clan Leader Wang and other elders from the back of the mountain, all turned their gaze toward Zheng Yi.

At this moment.

The Young Clan Leader, Wang Xingyin, arrived as a streak of light, smiling as he spoke, "Cousin Miaomiao, haven’t you figured it out yet?

Within the clan.

Alchemist Zheng Yi is no longer a mere Third-grade Alchemist but a Second-grade Alchemist.

The Foundation Establishment Pill materials collected by the clan recently were refined by Alchemist Zheng Yi.

In other words, if it weren’t for the three Foundation Establishment Pills generously provided by Alchemist Zheng Yi, the Second Elder would have fractured bones and muscles by now. Even if he could survive, he wouldn’t have much longer to live.

Just think about it, how big a mistake have you made?"

Wang Xingyin’s words left Wang Miaomiao in disbelief.

She shook her head frantically, shouting at Zheng Yi, "How is that possible?

How could it be you?

You were just a mere son-in-law, an insignificant Immortal Seed of the Wang Family!"

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder waved his right hand again, completely expelling Wang Miaomiao from the Wang Family’s rear mountain.

"How did I end up with such a stupid granddaughter!"

"I ask the Third Elder to forgive the Second Elder for his failure in discipline."

The Second Elder said with a hint of apology.

Zheng Yi gave a gentle smile, "It was merely an unintentional act of a junior; as a Third Elder of the family, how could I hold grudges against a junior?

However, the punishment from the Second Elder just now was indeed a bit excessive."

After a slight pause, Zheng Yi continued, "Normally, matters within the Second Elder’s household should not be interfered with by outsiders.

But today, I hope the Second Elder can show some consideration for this junior.

Sis once shared some camaraderie with me at the Alchemy Pavilion.

No matter what, it was just a few words directed at me; it doesn’t count as harsh language, so why make her the subject of amusement?"

The Second Elder let out a long breath, expressing gratitude, "Thank you, Third Elder!."

By saying this, he retracted the punishment previously imposed on his granddaughter Wang Miaomiao.

Having heard these words.

Wang Miaomiao hurried back from outside the rear mountain, bowed her head low, and tears rolled down continuously.

She never expected that in the end, Zheng Yi was the one to pull her up.

She truly believed a moment ago that she was destined for eternal ruin.

"Sis, why cry?

How could the Second Elder truly disown you as his granddaughter? It was merely a case of high expectations not being met.

Don’t blame the Second Elder either."

Zheng Yi consoled.

"Third Elder, I was wrong.

Junior apprentice brother, I truly know my mistakes!"

Wang Miaomiao cried sorrowfully, completely different from her usual self.

Seeing this scene, the present members of the Wang Family nodded satisfactorily; this was the way family interaction should be in the Wang Family.

As long as there was no act of betrayal against the family, there was no need for such harsh punishment.

"Why are you still not coming over to properly thank the Third Elder?"

The Clan Leader of the Wang Family said sternly.

For every act of kindness, there must be someone to play the strict role, and for every soft approach, someone must play the stern role.

Only this way can a family operate normally.

Unbridled benevolence would only be seen as weakness.

"Yes, Clan Leader."

Wang Miaomiao sobbed as she came before Zheng Yi, expressing her gratitude once again.

Zheng Yi smiled gently, accepting it openly.

Soon it was time for the Clan Leader and the Great Elder to attempt breakthroughs to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Zheng Yi reminded, and the Clan Leader nodded with a smile.

A few days later, although the Clan Leader and the Great Elder had not yet broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Master Zhang had already successfully ascended, becoming the Wang Family’s third strong practitioner in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Half a month passed, and both the Great Elder and the Clan Leader of the Wang Family successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm one after the other.

However.

The cost was that all the Foundation Establishment materials collected by the family were completely exhausted, not a single Foundation Establishment Pill was left.

As such, the younger generation of the Wang Family would have to wait some time for their chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

In front of the ancestral hall.

The Young Clan Leader Wang Xingyin stood dumbstruck, staring in astonishment at the four elders before him.

At this moment.

Even Master Zhang, who usually had a mere acquaintance with Young Clan Leader Wang Xingyin, couldn’t help but blush a little.

Among them, only the Great Elder, who possessed a Top-grade Spirit Root, used just two Foundation Establishment Pills, while the others consumed three, leaving not a single Pill for the Young Clan Leader.

The Great Elder’s gaze inadvertently drifted to a corner, as if something unusual was there.

The Second Elder then looked up towards the sky.

The Third Elder, Zheng Yi, simply smiled openly.

As an Alchemist, the consumption of Foundation Establishment Pills was not directly his concern, as the saying goes, blame has its source.
