"Father, look, what is happening here?"
The Wei Family has already moved to Jiangnan Lyuzhou for so ti. Logically speaking, many people who ca to escape, including once high-ranking noble families, should want to stay in Lyuzhou given the large population. How many can fulfill their wish?
Most simply migrate overseas. As for ordinary citizens, it’s manageable as long as they have enough food and clothing and a promise of sufficient good farmland. After all, having left their hotown willingly, it doesn’t make much difference if they move farther away.
Yet, it’s different for many noble families; no matter how good it sounds overseas, it remains foreign land. How can these children of Central Plains noble families willingly degrade themselves to such places and hence seek various relationships?
The Wei Family’s connections are undoubtedly solid, yet people handling affairs care less for them. Even so, because of Wei Gongcheng’s reputation, those in charge of land allocation managed to keep the Wei Family in these highly coveted places.
Many Wei Family mbers joined the army, and due to the fair promotion system within the military, the Tian Family’s direct line is increasingly feeling that the people below are slipping out of control.
After all, they can ascend based on their own abilities without needing those complex human relations. Why should the illegitimate sons listen to them?
Many direct line descendants are complaining that if things continue like this, the family will fall apart.
"It seems sothing doesn’t feel right..." The current Family Head, Wei Xingcheng, speaking of the obvious feeling of advancent, must be due to Jiangnan having so breakthrough.
"Dad!"
As he spoke, a robust figure quickly ran up from afar, "Sothing major happened!"
"What is it?" Unable to scold his youngest son, who despite his age was still impetuous, he hurriedly asked, "What did you find out?"
Nowadays, both the Wei Family elders and he are quite anxious. Despite their extraordinary connections, it’s Wei Gongcheng with his lowly status who has risen to such high positions, yet the brat doesn’t appreciate it, now gaining power and choosing to ignore the family.
One wonders if Chen Qing was blind back then; so many good young n in the Wei Family, why choose such a thing?
"Didn’t you just see Wei Gongzhan? He said Chen Qing has reached the Heavens!"
"The Heavens?" Wei Family was stunned.
With the advent of this major era, many things have gone beyond one’s endeavors. It’s said that previously Jiangnan captured an ancient city, the Dragon Palace under the sea, with only a few elites allowed to enter and enjoy the resources, making him extrely envious.
Now, while still failing to secure the underwater Dragon Palace, they’ve hit the Heavens?
"The Heavens..." Wei Xingcheng blankly looked at the sky, where everyone could see the golden stairway, murmuring, "I really wonder... what the scenery up there is like..."
"Dad, we should have a chance!" The youngest son excitedly said.
"Oh? What’s the reason?" Wei Xingcheng quickly asked.
"I just heard that the Heavenly City captured by Chen Qing is starting to recruit people to go up. Anyone with military rit and virtue power qualifying can apply to ascend and enjoy higher resources and longevity. It’s said up there, breathing spiritual energy is as easy as drinking water!"
"Military rit... Virtue Power?" Wei Xingcheng frowned deeply; where do they have these things?
Other Wei Family descendants are fine; those enlisted seem to perform well. Several illegitimate sons reportedly went to the Northern Wasteland, slaying several serpent demons, even giving the fallen ones decent positions in Lyuzhou Hell Ruler.
But these direct lines despise starting from low-ranked soldiers, most reluctant to go.
Nowadays, lazing at ho living off the labor of others, relying on the military salary sent by illegitimate brothers for livelihood, where from do they have battle achievents and virtue power?
"I’ve called Wei Gongzhan over; hearing him say, that guy Wei Gongcheng has gone to take up a position in the Heavens. They say he has the power to recomnd Lyuzhou’s Hell Ruler here. We operate a wave; shouldn’t we have a chance!"
"Oh?"
----------------------------------------------
Wei Gongzhan’s emotions were highly fluctuating today.
The good news is, he can ascend to the Heavens.
As the best Immortal Farr in Daqing Mountain, he is now already a Level Nine Immortal Farr. Among the popular agricultural products in Jiangnan, he has at least a dozen hot-selling ones, with few in Lyuzhou who are traders unaware of his na.
The Heaven’s Court position has been reserved for him. It’s evidently for planning the Immortal Peach Orchard, responsible for growing fresh fruits and immortal herbs, allowing him to bring along a hundred Immortal Farr spots.
His return to the city this ti intended to find several families’ previously good illegitimate brothers to go together; those brothers with impure bloodlines were all arranged for foreign affairs, that is business for the family, becoming rchants. Nowadays, in Lyuzhou, the Wei Family lacked business channels, temporarily idle, unlike those with purer bloodlines already slaying and gaining battle achievents.
Yet he didn’t expect that while drinking and chatting with a few brothers, that annoying Wei Gongnian ca along.
These direct line descendants never treated the illegitimate ones as siblings, particularly evident after Wei Gongcheng’s rise with direct line heirs even more guarded and oppressed, devoid of a great family’s manner.
Look at other great families; despite titles mostly going to direct descendants, siblings unite as one, and talented illegitimate mbers receive resources and support. Brotherly unity enhances family strength, but such reasoning is lost on the Wei Family.
Now he caught wind of it; he knew it wasn’t good news.
Worried about exposing those hundred spots, he swiftly shifted the burden onto his cousin Wei Gongcheng, for the cousin is well-cushioned to reject them, unlike him seeking to assist so brothers, hard to refuse.
"Gongzhan, you’re letting us ascend to farm?" The brothers hesitated to speak.
"What’s wrong with farming?" Wei Gongzhan dissatisfied, "Is farming shaful?"
"Not really..." The brothers laughed sheepishly, with Jiangnan’s farming Immortal Farr’s treatnt being substantial. Upon arriving in town, even the guards were courteous, owing to delivering good stuff annually there.
"We’re just worried we don’t have the talent for it."
"It’s not necessarily farming; I also registered you for rchant roles." Wei Gongzhan pressed down a mouthful of fruit wine, "When the ti cos, products from the Heavens – doing business with them, you’ll definitely seize the advantage."
"That’s our strength!" The brothers’ eyes brightened.
Jiangnan, unlike the Capital City, does not despise rchants; rchant’s children here can attend school. As long as wealthy, many rchants lead lives beyond noble family descendants.
Their kids mostly struggled for schooling, but earning money, later hiring good teachers, whether for martial arts or academics, may not warrant serving the Wei Family mbers as labor.
"Gongzhan...." One of the older Wei Family mbers whispered, "I heard.... cousin wants to go up to the Heavens for an official role?"
"Hmm..." Wei Gongzhan nodded.
"Then for Lyuzhou’s Hell Ruler, doesn’t he hold a recomndation authority? I now suspect those elders..... are probably contemplating this....."
