Chapter 446: Chapter 109: The Wang Family Rising! Visitors from All Directions Arrive_1

…

To the west of Changning Weicheng, where the Jinsha River and Peace River converge, lies a town known as Ningxi Town, nestled within the corner of a delta.

Ningxi Town is a place of gentle terrain. Numerous rivers crisscross within its jurisdiction, providing fertile soil and rich resources. It is one of the important granaries of Changning Weicheng.

This town has been ruled by two prominent families for generations: the Ningxi Party Clan, and the Ningxi Liang Clan.

The Ningxi Party Clan is a prestigious eighth-grade prominent family, occupying most of the high-quality land resources in Ningxi Town. As for the Ningxi Liang Clan, it is a small ninth-grade family that has been rendered cautious by years of having to continually engage in long-term maneuvering with the “beast” of the Party Clan while also attempting to grow and escape from their predicament.

Eighteen or nineteen years ago.

The Ningxi Liang Clan mistakenly participated in a conflict between the Wang and Liu clans, culminating in a severe blow from the Wang family that consumed many of the resources painstakingly accumulated by their forebears.

In theory.

The wounded Ningxi Liang Clan might have fallen into decline, gradually overwhelmed by the overt and covert encroachment of the Party Clan, ultimately vanishing into the “long river of history”.

But not only did the Liang Clan not decline, their circumstances actually improved day by day. And in just eighteen or nineteen years, they reared a second old ancestor in the Spirit Platform Realm, establishing a pattern of two spiritual platforms within the clan, and they even seemed to be on the verge of standing toe to toe with the powerful Ningxi Party Clan.

The primary architect of this miraculous situation was none other than the old ancestor of the Liang Clan, Liang Haofeng. Despite suffering a major setback at the hands of the Wang family, he also saw the formidable strength of the Wangs and the potential for future development.

While actively making reparations, he used his past relationship with Lu Mingsheng to seek reconciliation with the Wang family and mend their broken relationship. Over time, he even managed to gain a modicum of trust from the Wangs.

Some of the core farms were granted the right to cultivate and produce crops like Wang’s Number Seven. And while representatives from the Wangs oversaw the farms, they also offered fair prices for the bulk purchase of these crops.

With the help of serving the Wang family as if it were a “job”, the “family income” of the Ningxi Liang Clan consistently climbed higher. With more money, they followed the example of the Wang family and expanded their family assets, primarily by purchasing additional land and meticulously reclaiming it.

This meticulous reclamation referred to the process of transforming lands that were originally too costly to develop, such as hilly terrains full of loose rocks and swampy lowlands, into fertile farmland through renovation and remodelling.

For instance, lands like rocky hills and swampy hollows weren’t feasible for cultivation considering the substantial upfront costs. However, with increasing yields per unit of land prospective, what initially wasn’t feasible became feasible over time.

With refined development within their jurisdiction, it was as if they had a stroke of good luck when they discovered a small copper vein buried deep beneath the land. This discovery propelled the development of the Liang Clan to the next level.

One day.

Several carriages set out from the main residence of the Liang Clan, heading east.

The last two carriages were loaded with fresh Spirit Melons and Spirit Fruit harvested from the Spiritual Fields, salt-cured Spirit Fish caught from Peace River and Jinsha River, and Bai Yu Spiritual Rice Wine brewed from rice produced in their own farms, along with hundreds of fine fabrics and thousands of catties of fine copper ingots.

The goods in these carriages were worth tens of thousands of Qian Gold.

In the leading carriage sat an old man, a young man, and a youthful maiden around fourteen or fifteen years old.

The elderly man was lean and had a pair of eyes full of restrained brilliance. He sat as still as Mount Tai in the carriage.

The young man was about seventeen or eighteen. He wore a jade crown, a long silk gown, a belt decorated with white jade, black boots, and held a delicately crafted Sword. The Sword Sheath was made of python leather and adorned with green jewels.

This young man had a handsome countenance and oozed charm, a truly striking figure.

And the young girl, her eyes clear and innocent, had skin so soft and fair it looked like it could break at the slightest touch. She blinked her twinkling big eyes curiously and asked, “Old ancestor, can you tell me the tale of old ancestor Longyan of the Wang family? I am bored with this journey.”

“Little sister, you have heard the story of Longyan too many times that your ears have calluses.” The handsome young man said with a chuckle, “In my view, the rapid development of the Wang family as celestial beings can be attributed entirely to the merit of the family head, Senior Wang Shouzhe. Senior Shouzhe’s creativity, unfettered by traditional thinking, and his far-sighted and meticulous planning, serve as a role model for my generation.”

“Big brother, I know you admire Senior Shouzhe because, like him, you also started with Lower Class A qualifications, and also passed the initial examination of the Purple Abode Academic Palace. That compliment about you resembling the winds of Senior Shouzhe has stuck with you since.” The young girl pouted and said, “In my view, today’s prosperity of the Wang family as celestial beings is upheld by a woman, the old ancestor Longyan.”

The young man retorted without backing down. The two differed in their opinions and began to argue to uphold their respective idols.

Seeing his descendants start to argue, the old man, with a stern look in his eyes, swept them with a reprimanding glance. “Hongxuan, Muqing, stop arguing. The rise of the celestial Wang family from a lowly ninth-grade family to the renowned celestial family of the southern six guards of Longzuo is due to both Longyan and Shouzhe. They complement each other and both are indispensable. We can briefly discuss the past of the two seniors here in this small carriage.”

“Once outside, especially after we arrive in Ping’an Town, refrain from speaking freely to avoid spilling trouble from your lips.”

“Yes, Ancestor Haofeng, we will be cautious with our words.” Both younger ones, closed their mouths respectfully and obediently. After all, they were the legitimate heirs of the Liang Clan and had been strictly educated since childhood.
