PROTECT OUR CLAN LEADER

Chapter 777: Chapter 6: Son of Fortune! My Direct Line Great-grandson (Monthly Tickets Required)_3

The two ancestors of the Wang Family felt profound feelings of excitement surge up into their hearts. They stared expectantly at Wang Shouzhe. “Master Shouzhe, are you telling us the truth? Can we truly gain a yearly revenue of a million Qian Gold?” Forget about a million, even fifty thousand, thirty thousand, would be enough to pull the Wang Family out of their predicament, enough for them to reverse their fortunes.

Wang Shouzhe looked thoughtfully at Kunyuan Old Ancestor and said, “When I saw your Dharma Shadow earlier, it was powerful and lively, your combat capability was extraordinary. You must have achieved the state of Spiritual Body, right?”

With a shudder, Kunyuan Old Ancestor’s expression became somewhat unpredictable. After a long moment, he unveiled a bitter smile, “Master Shouzhe, your judgement is spot on. I have indeed achieved the Fourth Blood Vessel.”

“Old Ancestor…” Confused, the other old ancestor, Chengye, couldn’t help but shout. This was the family’s most significant secret. If people found out that the first ancestor of the Wang Family was a Sky Pride, it would undoubtedly prompt unwanted trouble.

“Don’t worry,” Kunyuan Old Ancestor stopped him, standing tall with stern expression, “The Wang Family has been our savior. It is only right that we trust them completely. Besides, although I cannot detect Master Shouzhe’s or Elder Longyan’s cultivation base, I can tell they are very strong. They might even be remarkable figures within the Sky Pride. In comparison to the Wang Family full of talents, they pose no threat.”

“I see,” Wang Shouzhe didn’t deny Kunyuan Old Ancestor’s observation. A mere Sky Pride, indeed, could not spark any interest in him anymore. However, he still looked regretfully at Kunyuan Old Ancestor, “Considering your age, if you had chosen the Academic Palace path, and put forth full effort, by now, you probably would have become a cultivator of the Purple Abode Realm.”

“One misstep led to a series of blunders.” The expression of Kunyuan Old Ancestor became calm. “If there’s anyone to blame, it is my greed which dared to swallow what it couldn’t handle.”

“That’s not quite true. There is still a chance.” Wang Shouzhe contemplated briefly, “If we can find some Heaven and Earth Treasures that have the capability to extend life and replenish vitality, and then rush to break through to the Peak of Tianren Realm at maximum speed and find opportunities to ascend to the Purple Abode. Assuming that we follow the optimal solution, it will roughly take twenty-five to thirty years, with a fifty to sixty percent chance of successful progression.”

In recent years, due to the increasing number of Great Heavenly Proud in the Wang Family, Wang Shouzhe had no choice but to scour everywhere for materials relating to the advancement into the Purple Abode Realm, then commit them to memory after thorough assimilation.

Throughout the history of the Great Qian Land, cases like Kunyuan Old Ancestor’s aren’t uncommon.

“Fifty to sixty percent chance?” Kunyuan Old ancestor asked, his body trembling with excitement, “Master Shouzhe, would you be willing to guide this old man? If I can succeed, I am willing to become the guest elder of the Wang Family, no, the head of household!”

Wang Shouzhe smiled faintly, “Kunyuan Old Ancestor, you overstate. We are, after all, fellow townsmen of Southern Six Guards. It is beneath your dignity, being a venerable ancestor, to serve in my household. It’s merely a minor matter. Let’s discuss it now.”

A minor issue? What seemed like an insurmountable task to the Wang Family, in the eyes of Master Shouzhe was just of minor importance?

Kunyuan and Chengye, the two old ancestors, instinctively prostrated themselves, prepared to listen attentively.

…

During the same period.

In the northwest direction of the Great Qian Land, there was an expansive desert called the “Dala Desolate Desert”.

The word “Dala” originates from the ancient language of the Barbarian Tribe, meaning “vast and lifeless”.

As its name suggests, the Dala Desolate Desert was indeed immense and lifeless. The vegetation was scarce and apart from a few oases, most parts of this desert were desolate with sparse wildlife, which consisted mostly of lower-tier creatures such as snakes, insects, mice, and ants.

The soil in this area was mostly sandy and infertile. The lack of water made it impossible for crops to grow or even grass for the cattle to graze. Thousands of years ago, some Prominent Families had attempted to develop this area, but after several failed attempts, the endeavor was abandoned.

Over the years, this region was left in a state of desolation, except for the remains of ancient city walls left by early settlers, and some resilient grass that managed to survive. There were no traces of humans left.

The “Dala Desolate Desert” was situated at the watershed of the Southern Desert County to the northeast and the West Sea Prefecture to the southwest.

The border of Southern Desert County.

Where once there was only barren land with no signs of life, there now stood a small grove of trees.

Though the area of the grove was small and extended only a few miles into the desert, every tree within was carefully nurtured. Compared to the vast yellow of the adjacent desert, the grove was a rare patch of green that attracted attention.

Within the grove, closest to the desert, a group of people crouched on the sandy ground, carefully observing every tree. They took notes in small notebooks as they inspected.

Their faces were covered with dust blown by the wind, but they were intent on their task.

Among the group, there was one individual who held neither pen nor notebook. He was pressing his hand to the ground, feeling something.

A moment later, he released his hand and smiled contentedly. “Just as I expected, the condition of the earth vein and the surface interact. As the grove expands, the status of the earth vein has improved slightly as well.”
