Protect Our Patriarch

Book 1: Chapter 102: Mighty and awe-inspiring! Young Empress~

"Ancestor, theoretically, the lifespan of a third-order beast is not short, and those who live over two hundred years are quite common." Wang Shouzhe had some doubts about this matter, "How can you be sure that this is the mother of the little tiger?"

What he feared most was that the clan had invested a huge amount of money in this fire vein, but the big tiger had not died. Once it was discovered that its lair had been occupied, it would inevitably be a troublesome situation.

An adult third-order tiger beast, both intelligence and combat power are not to be underestimated.

"Shouzhe, look, the posture of this tiger bone is lying in the fire pool, and its left leg, ribs have multiple fractures, and the two sections in the middle of the spine are shattered." Ancestor Long Yan calmly explained, "It can be inferred that it was injured in battle, severely wounded and unhealed, and when its vitality was about to be extinguished, it voluntarily entered the fire pool to burn itself."

"Furthermore, from its pelvic cavity, it can be seen that it is an adult female tiger, and the pelvic cavity is open, obviously it died shortly after giving birth." Ancestor Long Yan judged, "And the temperature of this fire pool is not low, if it was something from a long time ago, the skeleton would not be so intact."

Wang Shouzhe sighed, the Ancestor was indeed knowledgeable and experienced.

"Roar roar." The little tiger seemed to be quite spiritual, and it also had a slight perception of this matter. It pounced into Wang Lici's arms, looking listless.

"Ancestor, it's so pitiful, it died after giving birth to the little tiger." Wang Lici sighed, "I've decided, I must treat the little tiger well."

"Roar roar." The little tiger's spirits lifted a lot, and it rubbed its head against her a few times.

"How about this? I'll reduce your debt by two hundred? No, one hundred Top Gold." Wang Lici generously said, "From today on, you only owe me seven hundred Top Gold."

Roar roar, the little tiger gratefully acted coquettishly.

Wang Shouzhe had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Uh, right, he remembered that the little tiger only owed six hundred Top Gold before!?

Well, Wang Shouzhe felt that this illiterate little tiger would never be able to pay off the Top Gold in its lifetime.

"Ancestor, the Zhu fruit is a relatively rare spirit fruit, and there is no record of it in our clan's spirit fruit atlas." Wang Shouzhe asked curiously, "I wonder when a Zhu fruit can be born again?"

"A mature Zhu fruit is worth about twelve to fifteen thousand Top Gold." Ancestor Long Yan said, "In this medium-grade fire vein that is quite suitable for its growth, a Zhu fruit can be born every hundred years."

It really costs more than ten thousand!

Wang Shouzhe stared at Wang Lici with deep eyes. This damn girl was really lucky. She had tasted a heavenly treasure worth more than ten thousand when she was only at the second level of Qi Refining. This could be exchanged for more than a thousand small Peiyuan Pills. It was enough for all the brothers and sisters to eat as candy.

"Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle!" When Wang Lici heard this price, her legs trembled and she collapsed directly into Wang Shouzhe's arms. She regretted so much that her intestines turned green, and her face turned pale as she sobbed, "If I had known that the damn fruit was so valuable, I wouldn't have eaten it."

"It's okay, it's okay, you've eaten it." Seeing her like this, Wang Shouzhe also felt a bit sorry for her. He patted her head and comforted her, "This is your own opportunity, it belongs to you. Besides, haven't you also added a treasure land and Zhu fruit foundation to the family? This time, you have made a great contribution to the clan."

"That's good, Fourth Uncle's look just now was so scary." Wang Lici recovered and said with a relieved face, "I was really afraid that Fourth Uncle would sell me."

Wang Shouzhe's face darkened, this damn girl, whoever he sold her to would be a scam.

He didn't bother to deal with her anymore.

Wang Shouzhe calculated, "If we rely on the output of this Zhu fruit spirit tree, it seems to be a large quantity, but it's only over a hundred Top Gold a year. This fire vein treasure land still needs to be well planned to strive for more short-term income."

"Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, why don't we plant another Zhu fruit tree? The fruit is quite delicious." Wang Lici said, taking out a fruit core the size of a pigeon egg from her body. It was crystal clear like red jade, and it was faintly emitting fire spirit power.

"This is good." Wang Shouzhe took the Zhu fruit core and praised, "You're smart, you even thought of keeping the fruit core. If you're lucky, you can plant another one."

Of course, the more Zhu fruit trees, the better. If they can gradually form a scale of Zhu fruit production, then the Wang's Clan will be rich.

"I originally wanted to smash the fruit shell and eat the fruit kernel inside, but I couldn't smash it." Wang Lici honestly answered.

Wang Shouzhe broke out in a cold sweat. This damn girl was always thinking about eating. Fortunately, she couldn't smash it, otherwise, she would have wasted this fruit core. Presumably, the Zhu fruit core could also sell for a lot of money.

"Shouzhe, if you want to fully utilize this treasure land, you need to build a spirit gathering array." Wang Xianhan said on the side, "Look at this fire vein, the spirit power distribution is very even, chaotic, and dissipates very quickly. With the spirit gathering array, you can gather the fire spirit power, distribute it evenly, and open up a fire spirit field. Plant some fire economic crops, so that you can see the effect the fastest."

Untamed wild spirit veins are mostly so chaotic, many spirit plants are wild and sparse, and the output is not much.

There were no spirit fields in the world at first.

The spirit field is just a product invented by humans to fully utilize the spirit veins and maximize their economic benefits. With the spirit field, humans can say goodbye to the awkward situation of purely wild gathering of spirit objects.

"There are two common fire economic crops on the market, one is called Red Crystal Spirit Rice, and the other is called Flame Lotus. The overall economic benefits are similar. The former is most suitable for the daily spirit food consumption of Xuanwu practitioners with fire bloodline, and it can be harvested once a year. The latter matures every few years and can produce fire lotus seeds, which is a large-quantity fire spirit medicine." Wang Xianhan said, "Of course, as economic crops, it is best to only produce one kind, which is more convenient for management and production, as well as experience accumulation."

Wang Xianhan is an old farmer of spirit plants, and his suggestions are very practical.

What is an economic crop? That is the crop with the highest input-output ratio.

And since it is common on the market, it must be a crop that has been highly domesticated and widely cultivated in human history. It will be much easier to get seeds and a full set of planting technology.

Just like the Baiyuzhilan Lingmi, it is a highly domesticated spiritual species among humans. It is easy to cultivate and has a high yield, widely circulated in the human world. Besides satisfying the daily consumption of their own clan, the surplus output is also not difficult to sell.

In fact, if the Zhu fruits were dug up and sold, and all were replaced with economic crops, the final economic benefits would certainly be much higher.

However, Zhu fruits are rare, and once the clan has fully developed and grown, they can also play a significant role. If the economy is a bit worse, then so be it, consider it as a kind of foundation accumulation.

The only problem is, the formation master!

Formation masters are a highly sought-after profession. All families and clans want to develop, and they can't do without formation masters. But most of the lower-ranking clans do not have their own dedicated formation masters, and they have to hire from outside if they want to construct any formations.

My cousin, Lu Xiaoxiao, is said to have the talent of a formation master, but after all, she has just started to touch the formation, and without years of accumulated experience, she is not of much use.

Among the related clans, except for the Changning Xu Clan, none of them have formation masters.

However, Wang Shouzhe did not want to publicize this medium-quality fire spiritual vein, so he had to think carefully about hiring a formation master.

Everyone, filled with excitement and hope, first sealed up this treasure land and waited until it was properly deployed before activating it.

With this matter settled.

Wang Shouzhe and his party temporarily left Xingsheng Farm.

The spirit rats in the spirit field were basically wiped out, and they couldn't make waves in a short time. Therefore, Wang Lici and the little tiger also had to be taken back to the main house. After all, the girl had swallowed the Zhu fruit and needed the help of the ancestor to cultivate.

And Grandpa Liu, Wang Xiaohan, also temporarily returned to the main house. He had just been promoted, and his foundation was not very stable. He needed to consolidate his cultivation and also needed the guidance of Ancestor Long Yan.

Ancestor Long Yan has been in the Spirit Platform realm for more than eighty years, and her experience is extremely rich.

Inside the canopy boat.

Wang Shouzhe apologized to Wang Xiaohan: "Grandpa Liu, I'm really sorry about the Spirit Platform banquet."

It is a great joy for someone in the family to be promoted to the Spirit Platform realm. Usually, other clans will be notified, and a Spirit Platform banquet will be held. The level of excitement is even not less than Wang Shouzhe's future wedding banquet.

This is a good opportunity to increase the clan's prestige and show off their strength. At the same time, it is also the most glorious moment in a Xuanwu practitioner's life, and they can make a small fortune just by receiving gifts.

But Wang Shouzhe has his considerations and plans, and this is not the time to hold a Spirit Platform banquet.

"Haha, Shouzhe, you don't need to apologize again and again, Grandpa Liu's life is already worth it!" Wang Xiaohan laughed heartily, "Not to mention postponing it, even if Grandpa Liu becomes the family's trump card and hides for a lifetime, it doesn't matter. Moreover, Grandpa Liu really likes your practical and unpretentious character."

"Of course not." Wang Shouzhe laughed, "When it's suitable for Grandpa Liu to show up, I will definitely hold a grand Spirit Platform banquet for Grandpa Liu. Maybe there will be a chance to hold a Heavenly Man banquet in the future."

"I wouldn't dare to hope for that." Wang Xiaohan quickly shook his head. As for the Heavenly Man realm, he didn't dare to think about it, it was too far away and vague. Having the opportunity to be promoted to the Spirit Platform realm is already extremely satisfying.

Wang Shouzhe just smiled and didn't say much.

As the canopy boat was heading towards Zhuwei Lake, it passed by the large construction sites on both sides.

The scale of the construction site is getting bigger and bigger, with mud boats coming and going in the waterway, and many workers are building sheds, filling soil, and making roads on both banks.

In addition to the busy mud boats, there are also some passenger boats coming and going in the waterway. Those passenger boats are carrying people who are well-dressed and look quite wealthy.

As soon as they stepped onto the temporary dock, a young man greeted them. The young man was neatly dressed and looked quite clever: "Welcome to the first phase of the Zhuwei Mansion construction site, I am the receptionist, Ouyang Junyan."

Wang Shouzhe's canopy boat just happened to pass by, and seeing this scene, he stopped to watch. This was related to his big plan to make money.

"Ouyang Junyan?" A young man who was white and fat said, "I recognize you, you are the dog leftover from our neighboring village, Liu Zi Gou. When you were a child, your family was poor and had nothing to eat. You came to our village to beg for food and were beaten by me. Ouyang Dog Leftover, you have a lot of guts, dare to make up a name and swindle here."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around them, and the faces of the wealthy people changed.

"Oh, it turns out to be Zhang Tiedan." Ouyang Junyan's eyes became serious, and he said sternly, "Zhang Tiedan, please watch your words. My new name was personally given by Miss Liu. I am deeply favored by Miss Liu and am here to sell the period houses and period fields of Zhuwei Mansion. How can this be considered swindling?"

His imposing manner was overwhelming.

Zhang Tiedan's face changed immediately, and he said in a low voice, "Miss Liu, which Miss Liu?"

"Of course it's Miss Wang Luoqiu, the sixth Miss of the Wang's Luo generation! I am the receptionist personally promoted by Miss Liu." Ouyang Junyan's eyes were filled with pride and self-satisfaction, "If you don't accept my name, you can just get lost."

Miss Wang Luoqiu!

As soon as this name came out, the wealthy people immediately fell silent, looking at each other, and at the same time, a look of awe appeared on their faces. Wang Luoqiu of the Wang's Luo generation, her fame has resounded throughout Ping'an Town.

At the age of eleven, she easily defeated the legitimate son of the Liu Clan and declared herself unbeatable under the age of sixteen!

Such a glorious figure has become the idol of many young people in Ping'an Town. Moreover, she is also the sixth Miss of the Wang's Luo generation, the younger sister of the current head of the Wang Clan, Wang Shouzhe.

"Dog Leftover, no, no, Junyan, I was wrong." Zhang Tiedan immediately backed down, showing a flattering look, "I knew from a young age that Junyan, you are not an ordinary person. Now you have become the confidant of Miss Wang Liu and even helped you change your name. Indeed, you have soared to the sky. We, the Zhang family, will buy this Zhuwei Mansion."

However, Ouyang Junyan's face was calm and waveless, and he said indifferently, "I dare not claim to be Miss Liu's confidant. Junyan is just a little boy she casually promoted. As for this Zhuwei Mansion, it's not something anyone can buy if they want to.""Our Phase One of Zhuwei Luxury Mansion is located along the Zhuwei Canal. To the right, it is adjacent to the famous Zhuwei Lake, and to the left, it overlooks the Wang's Clan ancestral feng shui foundation, the Prosperous Farm. It is also across the lake from the Wang's Clan's thousand-year-old main house." Ouyang Junyan's face grew increasingly proud as he spoke, "Such a unique feng shui treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation is not something that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can buy. To purchase a unit in Phase One, one must have the qualifications. Zhang Tiedan, do you think money alone can solve everything?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Junyan, you're right." Zhang Tiedan nodded and bowed, his face full of flattery, "For this matter, Junyan, considering that we grew up together, could you make some concessions?"

"It depends on the situation. There has to be a qualification review." Ouyang Junyan said indifferently, "Some things are not up to me alone."

At these words, the wealthy households were filled with anticipation, their faces full of awe and hope. Just as they were about to approach and build a relationship with Ouyang Gousheng, no, Ouyang Junyan.

Suddenly.

From a distance, a commotion arose. "Miss Liu has arrived, Miss Liu has come to inspect the construction site."

"No gawking! Get back to work." "Everyone, show your best to Miss Liu." "Miss Liu is here, anyone who embarrasses me, I'll kill him."

The foremen of the construction teams all roared.

Wang Shouzhe was dumbfounded at this scene.

When did our Luoqiu gain such prestige?
