Chapter 35: Zhou Jia
"Human Immortal Volume?"
With a move in his mind, Wu Ming immediately turned forward and found another column: "Yellow Court Yin Talisman Scripture - Earth Immortal Volume, the method of Earth Immortal, asking for 2000 Heavenly Merits! Still missing!"
The Overgod Palace is still in a blank period, nine of ten of the Heavenly Merit charts are out of stock. Wu Ming is used to it.
"According to the urine of Overgod Palace, the out-of-stock must be particularly powerful… It seems that this Earth Immortal, in Great Zhou World, is not a man who is high and remote…"
In fact, Wu Ming is not particularly clear about the realms of Daoism, but he had heard about a title in the Human Immortal Volume - True Daoist!
Daoist of this rank, I've heard that that the Magic Power is so deep and incredible that he would appear in legends and myths as demon slayers and suppress luck.
Indeed, even in counties, they are very rare. They are guests of princes and military commissioners and even get titles of the imperial court!
In Wu Ming's view, this is already a proper Almighty but it still among the Human Immortals.
"Looking at the descriptions of Yin Talisman Scripture, this Law Master, True Daoist, Heavenly Master seems to be the small realm of the Great Realm of Immortal Immortals!"
Wu Ming touched his chin. "This Daoist Qingping, even the Law Master's method is incomplete. No wonder the attack is so street-like…"
Now that I look at it carefully, I know that in the pursuit of Dao, Human Immortal is a very large realm. Basically, as long as you cultivate to Human Immortal Peak and Heavenly Master realm, you can be proud of the red dust, treating secular wealth lightly.
Before Law Master, there are two stages: Daoist Priest and Refined Master.
According to Wu Ming's views and Feng Han's knowledge, Daoist Qingping just mixed into the class of Daoist Priest, barely counting as a Daoist or at the beginner stage and had yet to practiced inner refinement. He met Wu Ming and turned into a street.
However, getting started is already a great thing.
After all, Daoism is hard. Like the previous Ma Laosan or Zheng Qian, they've all learned one or two small spells, even genuine Daoist Priests are not that good. They can only say that they are Uninitiated.
"This Silver Seal Jade Book is only one page long and is mostly incomplete. In the beginning, the entry up to Refined Master is okay. At Law Master stage, there`s a defect and need 150 Major Merits to make up…"
Wu Ming touched his chin: "However… the quality is quite high, and it is more expensive than the several Daoist ancient books I originally wanted to practice…"
In the Overgod Palace, although the grades of various Daoist methods are not shown, they can be distinguished from the asking price.
Needless to say, this "Yellow Court Yin Talisman Scripture" actually has a follow-up and even has the division of Human Immortal and Earth Immortal which Wu Ming has never heard of… In his predecessor's limited knowledge, True Daoist is already an extraordinary identity.
The combination of various factors made the balance in Wu Ming's heart tilt.
"Let's try again. If there is no news from Elder Sister Wu Qing, there is no door to the Dao Institute, then I'll have study by myself!"
Leaving "Yellow Court Yin Talisman Scripture" and "Extreme Yin Corpse Refining Law" in the Overgod Space, Wu Ming came out and turned on the oil lamp as he read through Daoist Qingping's notes with great interest.
Although this person has an origin on grassroots, his opportunity is extraordinary and has a lot of knowledge so many things will be recorded which in turn increased Wu Ming's knowledge.
In the coldness of the moonlight, he went through the night unconsciously.
"This oil lamp… is still too expensive!"
Wu Ming stretched out and rubbed his eyes. The oil used in his house is of good quality. It seems to be whale oil, even leaving a faint fragrance after being ignited. However, once the sea becomes difficult to deal with, the gap would come out and would be comparable to his previous life.
In ancient times, scholars 'looked at pamphlets for a long time, spending their whole life shining on their articles', but unfortunately they didn't know much about the bad luck that damaged their eyesight.
"The Wu Family is just a little rich, that's all… I heard that the real Prefecture Gentry Aristocratic Family uses huge butter candles every night with thick and thin arms. It is very expensive but the house is as bright as the day. I heard that above, the lighting is made with Daoist Magic, what a luxury…"
With a sigh, Wu Ming was prepared to rest and sleep.
After all, even if he was strong, being not afraid of loss, he still need to pay attention to maintenance.
"Is Young Master asleep?"
At this time, a girl in the room outside was knocking on the door: "Master Feng Han ask to see you!"
"Huh? Please come in!"
Wu Ming sighed but the moment he saw Feng Han, his eyes lit up: "Is that Deacon Yu recruited?"
"Well, Xue Laosi in the stable is a craftsman in the public sector. It has been passed down for generations. He was then exempted from office because he committed a crime. I called and when the guy who ate before posed, Deacon Yu did not hold up and accepted the recruitment."
Feng Han's complexion was a little bit gloomy.
"But the Zhou Family in the county city?"
Wu Ming smiled.
Daoist Qingping is the Guest-Official of the Zhou family, which is described in the handwriting.
Compared to the Wu Family which is still a nouveau-riche, the Zhou Family is a real Great Household. There 50 hectares in the field and a hundred acres in the Zhou system. This is a real 5000 acres of land power with slaves in the group, it is a clan with people in the thousands!
Needless to say, almost every generation can have an 8th Grade Official. If there is a strange person who can predict the future, look at the weather, he would say: "Scarlet Qi is lingering, Fuze is long and Wang`s family home in Hehe County is too!"
Although the Wu Family can barely enter the ranks of the powerful, it is the end. It is still a few generations away from nobles such as the Zhou Family.
"If that's the case, then…"
Feng Han smiled bitterly: "The key thing is to come to Eldest Young Lady but for the purpose of Dragon's Gate Meeting! It looks like the Prefecture Gentry will intervene!"
"Dragon's Gate Meeting? Prefecture Gentry?"
Wu Ming could not help but straighten himself.
The Aristocratic families in this world can be divided into rural gentries, counties households, and countries gentries, and going up, it is the illustrious world-famous Hehe clan.
The Wu Family is roughly at the top of Rural Gentry and perhaps be counted at the end of County Household while the Zhou Family is the peak of the Great Households in the county. But no matter which one, in the face of a Prefecture Gentry, it is still a big class away!
To put it simply, the energy of a Prefecture Gentry House must be paid attention, even by the real 5th Grade Prefecture Governor. Even if you take office, you still need to visit them. If you do not get their support, not only would your governance become a problem, you may directly be excluded.
"Really…"
Wu Ming got up and pushed the window open.
The night is cold, the clouds cover the moon, and the dark sky is so oppressive. It seems that there is a storm and rain falling.
"Mountain rain is coming to the wind, the building is full… Master Feng!"
In the middle of the night, Feng Han saw Wu Ming's sudden change and was not surprised. He took a few steps and had the taste of walking like a dragon and stepping like a tiger, his heart couldn't help but be impressed.
Martial arts and dao techniques can be cultivated and acquired but this innate tolerance cannot be learned.
Originally, when he heard that the Wu Family had a huge problem, he was ready to inform the news, do his part, and thank him. He would then get outside and get out of this mud.
But now, seeing Wu Ming and that Wu Qing is also a seed of the Dao Institute; the future is so promising and he couldn't help but be moved. He bowed and said: "What is the Young Master's commands?"
"You can tell the truth, I am very grateful!"
Wu Ming waved his hand: "This is not the matter for the gentleman, I can't drag down sir. Prepare a ceremony for three hundred and two, sir can go by himself!"
"Where is this?"
Although he originally had this idea, he now wanted to bet all in this, Feng Han paled: "Since ancient times, loyal ministers did not matter to the master. Although Feng Han is an ordinary man, I am not a villain who will escape when he sees that the main family is in trouble!"
"I'm wrong, apologies to Master Feng!"
Seeing Feng Han's determined appearance, Wu Ming felt a little strange. But he didn't say anything and with a touch of emotion on his face, stood up deeply: "Mr. Gao Yi, Wu Ming bears in mind!"
The two smiled at each other, the relationship deepened.
"The matter of the Prefecture Gentry is finally caught in the wind, it's all hearsay, there is no empirical evidence… Even if there is, my Wu Family is a Great Household in the county and elder sister Wu Qing is from the Daoist Institute. Without proof and evidence, even the county guards cannot be moved easily!"
Since he decided to squat together, Wu Ming first gave Feng Han a piece of mind.
Immediately, he sneered again: "That's the truth. It's a big deal. Don't worry about the foundation… How about the Prefecture Gentry House? Can powers pass through the counties or even reach other states?… Before leaving, this family must know retribution!"
Feng Han nodded, this world has extraordinary power. Wealth belongs to itself, a person like Wu Qing with Wu Ming, can open the situation no matter where he goes in the world.
Of course, the family's foundation is on the land. Wu Qing can take Wu Ming to eat and drink in other places but whenever he can earn a piece of the family's business is two different things.
As for the worst case, seeing Feng Han's heart, Wu Ming turned and said: "There are the worst cases… Just in case, the county news still needs to be investigated but this Zhou Family, it's a heartfelt surprise!"
In the sneer, there is a murderous spirit, making Feng Han shiver.
"There are a few things that I need to bother Master Feng!"
"Young Master just needs to tell me!"
Wu Ming slowly paced in the hall: "I've heard about the Zhou Family but I don't know much about it… What is the relationship between the counties, how much force is available, and even why it making difficult to my Wu Family? I still have to worry a lot about them…"
After sending Feng Han out, Wu Ming said to the maid: "Call Steward Wu!"
Regardless of what Feng Han does, affinities are not precaution and appropriate measures still need to be done.
What's more, there are some things that you still need to be born and raised in the Family, for assurance.
"Young Master, are you looking for me?"
It didn't take long before Steward Wu to come in with a smile and a humble look on his face
But Wu Ming thought he is very lucky.
Whether it is Lin Qi's last incident or Daoist Qingping's trap, he survived all of them. If nothing else, at least his luck is pretty good.
"Wel… you send a letter to the county's Dao Institute, please come back my sister! And…"
Wu Ming hesitated: "There are also distant relatives of the Wu Family, some are scattered in the villages eight miles from here, call them to here. I have something announce!!"
