The master of the Wang family in Fengdeng County is named Wang Chong. He is over 70 years old and lives in a relatively remote courtyard, located next to a small lake in the south of the city.

This man is of the same age as Wang Yaoqi. Although he is not a legitimate clan, he has been very talented since childhood and has been trained by the clan. It was not until a few years ago that he became a master.

When Shen Yuanjing came over, he was waiting in the pavilion by the lake, but he didn't dare to neglect it. He put down the fishing rod in his hand, stood up, invited someone to sit in, and sighed: "I have been here for more than ten years. I've always been unaccustomed to the lack of mountains next to this manor, and it's ordinary. Fortunately, the water in this lake is pretty good and has a bit of a calm taste."

At this time, the moonlight was bright, with stars hanging upside down into the lake, like a mirror. Shen Yuanjing nodded and said, "The autumn water in Nanhu is smokeless at night. It is very quiet here. It is indeed a good place to cultivate one's own character."

Wang Chong smiled and said, "As long as the legend of the clan, you like quiet people. Unlike me, I have a handful of old bones and I still like to mess around. At that time, the main family sent people here, but I fought for it for a long time."

Shen Yuanjing said: "I am a strange person. Sometimes I like quietness, and sometimes I have to walk around again. This time I just have to come out, which makes my uncle unhappy."

"Young people are naturally more wanton and don't want to pay attention to so many rules. The relationship between the head of the family is in chaos. Your achievements today are not something you can do by staying at home." Wang Chong said while holding the teapot with his hands. After a while, the heat was gushing out, and then a stream of water rushed out of the spout, and divided it into the tea cups on both sides.

The two of them slowly drank tea and talked about some old things in the world. When they heard Shen Yuanjing prepare to take a boat and go around to Taizhou, Wang Chong nodded and said, "You are right to do this if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. The Li family has been ambitious over the years and always wants to cause trouble. Among the forces surrounding Zhongzhou, either his ally or like the Zhenwu Sect. The only one who dares to move the Gu family is our Wang family, who looks the weakest. Shangping County next to Zhongzhou has now fallen into his hands and is still constantly testing."

Shen Yuanjing also heard about this situation and said, "The old master of the Li family is still on the ground list? I don't know if his family is so aggressive, is it bluffing or if this person has really been promoted to the Grand Master."

Wang Chong smiled and said, "Who knows this? Apart from the Grand Master, no one dares to test it rashly, and they are afraid of backfiring. Besides, even if this person is not promoted, the Li family's three-level list is second only to the Zhenwu Sect, the Tianli Sect and the Gu family. The Shen family may be able to withstand it, but we can't."

He said this, staring at Shen Yuanjing with a bright look and said, "But with you, you can match the Grandmaster at the age of a young age, but you can rank around the 30th place in the human list. It is two points stronger than Zhao Wuya, the Tianya mad guest at that time. He may be the same as him. He can be promoted to the Grandmaster at the age of fifty-five, so the Wang family can really rest assured."

"Where, where, I'm sorry, uncle Chong praised me." Shen Yuanjing said modestly: "There are only four great masters in the world. The first-ranked Taoist Master of Biology will only realize it at the age of seventy. It is still quite difficult to become a great master in his fifties."

Such a mode of modesty made Wang Chong not know what to say. He was happy that he seemed confident, and was worried that he was too proud. He was neither admonished nor persuaded. He had to agree: "Anyway, Yuan Jing, you work hard. I will live forty years. I can't say that I can witness the rise of my Wang family one day."

Shen Yuanjing agreed casually and turned around and asked what places to visit during the next trip to Fengzhou.

Wang Chong picked up several famous places and said, "Except for Fengrun City, the resident of Tongming Cult, you should not stay for too long, and you can show your true skills in other places without any obstacles. However, it is better to be safe without conflict. Although we are not good at having too many entanglements with the forces of Tongming Cult, it is also one of the potential allies to resist the Li family."

Shen Yuanjing nodded and asked how to treat Dajiang Gang. At this time, Wang Chong changed his face and said contemptuously: "The Dajiang Gang has nothing to worry about. Since he taught He Lu a lesson, he has suffered several serious injuries and has not healed. He must be no match for you.

The Tongming Sect will not destroy them. One is afraid of the Li family, and the other is that the Shen family has also set their sights on this piece of fat, so it is not easy to act rashly. We are too far away, so there is no need to do such thankless things. But if he is going to mess with you, wouldn’t it just happen to be your stepping stone to become famous?"

Shen Yuanjing smiled and said, "It's just a false reputation, it's useless. I never care about these things." Seeing that the other party opened his mouth and didn't say anything, he continued, "Uncle Chong is an elder, so it's okay to say anything."

Wang Chong thought about it and said, "The world is vast, with countless arable land, but the population is sparse. If it weren't for too many beasts in the wild, who would have been exploited? For example, Fengzhou has many flat land and dense forests, and jackals and tigers often rushed into the village to eat people. Therefore, even if the Tongming Church is very oppressed, the people can be protected by his family in the city and town, which is better than being displaced and buried in the wild beasts.

Now that the land of a state is divided, several families are divided, and our aristocratic families want to gather people's hearts and gain more populations, all relying on strength and fame. When the Heaven and Earth and People List was first established, they were not unresisted, but later everyone found that this list was more intuitive to the people, so they agreed."

Seeing Shen Yuanjing listening to his narration attentively, he said directly: "You didn't grow up in a big clan and sect, so naturally you don't know the benefits of fame, such as how the three counties of Fengzhou fell into our hands, and it wasn't because the ranking of the head of the family was rising steadily, so high that the leader of Tongming could not resist, and the people's hearts naturally moved.

For the sake of fame, the great sects of aristocratic families can do anything. Just like Shiheng, who is not old and has to be called the "Three Masters of Wulin". Once he is on the list, we will not mention this immediately. You are now ranked 72nd in the list, and some local small sects are approaching me, because the Wang family has successors. If you advance to the list in the future, the Wang family may not be able to dominate a state like the Shen family, that is a thousand-year foundation."

Shen Yuanjing also understood these principles, but although he had a close relationship with the Wang family, he was unwilling to tie himself up completely. He smiled slightly and did not argue. He turned around and talked until the sky was about to fade before leaving.

Two or three days later, he left Fengdeng, walked and stopped along the river, and only accelerated his departure in Fengrun City. Without many surprises along the way, he arrived at Fengshan and got off the boat.

Shen Yuanjing sent Wang Gui back and climbed Fengshan alone.
