…

Immediately, Wang Shouzhe stepped forward with courtesy, “I am Wang Shouzhe, the clan leader of the Ping’an Wang family, greetings Clan Leader Xiao Rui.”

Strictly speaking, Wang Xiaorui was the elder of the Xiao generation.

But at this time, they were meeting as clan leaders, and naturally, they should adhere to the conventions believed between prominent families. Moreover, the blood relation between clan leader Xiao Rui and him was quite distant.

Unlike those close uncles, paternal grandparents, etc.

Both parties naturally exchanged courtesies.

Subsequently, Elder Longyan, Elder Xuanfu, and several Spirit Platform Realm elders from the other side also greeted each other.

Particularly Elder Longyan, who belonged to the female Long generation and had a higher status. Among the Spirit Platform Realm elders present, only Elder Yu, who was from the Yu generation, was on par with Elder Longyan.

That elder was Wang Yuchen. Within the Longzuo Wang family, they commonly referred to him as Elder Yuchen. Now he was over one hundred and fifty years old, much older than Elder Longyan.

His appearance was very old, and he probably had only ten to twenty years of life left.

Practitioners of the Spirit Platform Realm can live for two hundred years, but not everyone at this stage can live to be two hundred years old.

This depends on the age of promotion, whether they have not recovered from any hidden injuries, and even factors such as bloodline and long-term health preservation, etc.

Most of the Spirit Platform Realm cultivators would typically die at the age of one hundred seventy-eighty. Those who live up to two hundred, or a little over two hundred, are considered to have extremely long lives.

Upon seeing Elder Longyan, he trembled all over, his eyes filled with excitement and guilt: “Sister Longyan, it’s been sixty years since our last meeting in the blink of an eye. I’m sorry that I couldn’t help you much back then.”

He sighed deeply, showing deep regret for what happened over the past sixty years.

“Brother Yuchen,” Elder Longyan replied indifferently, “all that happened was destined. I am already grateful for the considerable aid the Longzuo Wang family provided us. Back then, even Brother Yuchen you, following Elder Zhoub, made efforts for our cause.”

When Elder Longyan was studying in the Academic Palace, she would often stay with the Longzuo Wang family for a while, so she was quite close to Elder Yuchen.

On the other hand, Elder Xuanfu, despite being Elder Zhou Xuan’s biological granddaughter, was by nature detached from the Longzuo Wang family due to her surname Liu.

However, she is now a Core Disciple of the Academic Palace. Naturally, the Longzuo Wang family treated her with respect, their words filled with familiarity and warmth.

After the initial round of introduction and exchange of courtesies amongst the elders, the younger generation stepped forward to greet each other.

This was the norm between prominent families.

Mere greetings and exchanges took up nearly an hour.

At this point, Wang Xiaorui said, “Elder Longyan, Clan Leader Wang Shouzhe, this isn’t an ideal place for our conversation. Please follow me into the city.”

“Thank you, Clan Leader Xiao Rui,” replied Wang Shouzhe, offering his thanks.

Subsequently, the Wang family, guided by Wang Xiaorui, entered the Longzuo County Town as honored guests. Over a dozen carriages passed through the guest passage in succession without any inspection at all.

The Profound Martial soldiers guarding the city maintained a respectful and polite demeanor throughout this process.

“Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen,” Wang Xiaorui gave a slight bow of the head. Then an elder stepped forward and discreetly handed them some tokens of appreciation.

Once the convoy departed,

A young soldier, newly assigned to duty, asked, “Sir, which prominent family was that just now? They made quite the impression, having a group of Spirit Platform Realm elder cultivators.”

An elderly Spirit Platform Realm general explained, “That is the Longzuo Wang family, a venerable Celestial family. It has been said that they have been around in our Left County for over a thousand years.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“A thousand years?” The young soldier exclaimed, “Wow, that’s almost as long as half the history of our Left County.”

“Indeed. Back then, the Longzuo Wang family was a famed Purple Abode family with intimidating prestige,” said the Spirit Platform Realm general. “Unfortunately, after their founding ancestor exhausted his life force at the age of eight hundred, they gradually fell off the radar over the next few centuries as they couldn’t maintain their status of the Purple Abode.”

“A few decades ago, the Longzuo Wang family nearly failed to maintain their Celestial status. But Elder Zhou Bo succeeded in breaking through to the Celestial realm thirty-five years ago, preserving the Celestial lineage of the family.”

“The current Elder Zhou Bo is just over two hundred years old and can at least secure the safety of the Longzuo Wang family for over a hundred years. As long as they can once again successfully transition to the Celestial rank, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the family will continue to prosper. So, be courteous to them next time.”

“I see, sir. I truly admire these Celestial families,” said the young soldier, who was obviously born into a commonplace Spirit Platform family and looked up in awe to the Celestial families.

As the city defense soldiers conversed in hush tones,

Wang Shouzhe and his people finally entered the Longzuo County Town.

From the outside, Longzuo County was already a formidable sight. Only when one stood within it did one realize that this was an unimaginably colossal city. The gate of the wide stone road behind the city gate was more than ten meters wide and allowed twenty to thirty carriages to run in parallel.

Moreover, the rules in Longzuo County were very strict. Only Celestial and Purple Abode families were allowed to travel on the central part of the avenue, and if someone strayed without the proper token and was caught by the city defense army, they would be severely punished.

On both sides of the road, there were markets, pubs, various shops, and stalls, followed by residential blocks.

Even the civilians who lived in Longzuo County Town at least had decent skills. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to establish a firm foothold in Longzuo County, where the price level was high.

Their further journey led them past the primary residences or secondary homes of Eight or Nine Grade Profound Martial families. This region also had countless stores conducting all sorts of trades and businesses.
