Protect Our Clan Leader

“Two common fire element economic crops in the market are Red Crystal Rice and Flame Lotus, which both yield approximately similar economic benefits. Red Crystal Rice is especially suitable for the daily Spirit Food consumption of Profound Martial practitioners with fire element bloodlines and can be harvested once a year. Flame Lotus matures every few years, producing Fire lotus seeds, a type of fire element medicine that is used in large amounts,” Wang Xiaohan explained. “Of course, as an economic crop, it is more convenient to manage production and accumulate experience if only one type is produced.”

Wang Xiaohan, an experienced spirit planter, gave very practical advice.

What are economic crops? They are crops that provide the highest return on investment.

Moreover, if they are commonly seen in the market, they must be crops that humans have domesticated to a high degree over the long course of history, and their seeds and complete cultivation techniques are widely distributed and easier to obtain.

The Baiyu ZhiLan Spirit Rice, for example, is one of the Spirit Seeds that humans have highly domesticated. Its cultivation is simple, its yield is high, and it is widely grown in the human world. In addition to meeting the daily ’ consumption of their own family, there is no concern about not being able to sell the surplus.

In fact, if the Vermilion Fruits were all uprooted and sold off, in favor of planting solely economic crops, the resulting economic benefits would undoubtedly be much higher.

However, Vermilion Fruits are rare and once the family matures and grows, they can play a significant role. If the economy is a bit disadvantaged, then so be it, it can be considered a form of fundamental accumulation.

The only problem now is acquiring an Array Master!

The Array Master is a very demanding profession. All families and clans need an Array Master to develop. However, most of the lower clans do not have their own dedicated Array Master and need to hire externally when they want to construct any formations.

His cousin, Lu Xiaoxiao, is said to have talent as an Array Master, but she has only just started to learn about formations. Without years of accumulated experience, she won’t be able to contribute much.

None of the families related by marriage, except for the Changning Xu Family, have an Array Master.

However, Wang Shouzhe did not want to publicize this middle-grade fire spirit vein, so he needs to think carefully when choosing to hire an Array Master. Excited and hopeful, everyone agreed to preserve this valuable land for now and to activate it when everything is ready.

Having settled this matter,

Wang Shouzhe and his party temporarily left the Prosperous Farm.

Most of the spirit rats in the Spirit Field had been wiped out, ensuring peace for a while. As such, Wang Licui and the little tiger will also be taken back to the main residence. After all, now that Licui has consumed the Vermilion Fruit, the Old Ancestor must assist her in her cultivation.

Grandfather Wang Xiaohan, having just ascended, temporarily returned to the main residence as well in order to solidify his foundation. He needed assistance from the Old Ancestor, Longyan, and her vast experience.

The Old Ancestor, Longyan, had been in the Spirit Platform Realm for over eighty years and was incredibly experienced.

In the covered boat,

Wang Shouzhe apologized to Wang Xiaohan: “Grandfather, I’m really sorry about the Spirit Platform banquet.”

When someone in the family reaches the Spirit Platform Realm, it’s a joyful event. Usually, other families are informed, and a Spirit Platform banquet is held. The scale of the celebration isn’t much different from a wedding banquet like Wang Shouzhe’s.

This serves as a good opportunity for the family to demonstrate their power and raise their prestige. It’s also the most glorious moment in the life of a Profound Martial practitioner, one that can bring substantial wealth just from receiving gifts.

However, Wang Shouzhe had his own considerations and plans. This wasn’t quite the time for a Spirit Platform banquet.

“Haha, Shouzhe, you don’t have to apologize again and again. My life is already fulfilled!” Wang Xiaohan laughed heartily. “Even if you plan to postpone, even if I become a hidden asset for the family for a lifetime, I won’t mind. Besides, I really admire your practical and unpretentious temperament.”

Of course, that won’t happen.” Wang Shouzhe smiled. “When it’s time for Grandfather to make an appearance, I will definitely hold a grand Spiritual Platform banquet for you. Perhaps in the future, there will even be the opportunity to hold a banquet celebrating becoming a Celestial Being.” “Let’s not be too ambitious,” Wang Xiaohan hurriedly shook his head. As for reaching the Heavenly Human Realm, he couldn’t even bring himself to think about it. It felt far too distant and elusive. Just having the chance to ascend to the Spirit Platform Realm was already incredibly gratifying.

Wang Shouzhe just smiled, without adding anything more.

As the covered boat passed by the big construction site on its way to Zhuwei Lake,

The scale of the construction site was growing larger and larger, with dredging ships endlessly shuttling back and forth within the waterway, and a considerable number of workers on both riverbanks setting up work sheds, filling in soil, and building roads.

Besides the busy dredging ships, there were also some passenger ships going back and forth on the waterway, carrying people who were dressed well and appeared to be quite wealthy.

Upon setting foot on the makeshift dock, a neatly dressed, sprightly youngster would greet them immediately: “Welcome, honored guests, to the construction site of Phase I of Zhuwei Manor. I am the receptionist Ouyang Junyan.”

As Wang Shouzhe’s covered canal boat happened to pass by, witnessing this scene prompted him to stop and take a closer look. This matter was related to his grand money-making plan.

“Ouyang Junyan?” remarked a chubby, fair-skinned young man. “I know you. You’re Gousheng from our neighboring village, Liuzi Gou. You came to our village to beg for food because your family was impoverished when we were kids, and I gave you a good beating. How audacious you are, Ouyang Gousheng, daring to fabricate a name and attempt to deceive people here.”

At this statement, a commotion arose among the crowd and the faces of the wealthy onlookers changed.

Oh, if it isn’t Zhang Tiedan,” Ouyang Junyan’s eyes became stem, and he spoke in a severe tone, “Zhang Tiedan, watch your words. My new name was personally given by the Sixth Miss herself. As one whom the Sixth Miss greatly values, selling the properties of Zhuwei Manor here could hardly be called a scam.”

His dominating aura left Zhang Tiedan’s face changing instantly, and he asked in a low voice: “The Sixth Miss, which Sixth Miss?”

“Of course, it is Miss Wang Luoqiu, the Sixth Miss of the Luo generation of the Wang family! I am the receptionist who was personally promoted by her.” Ouyang Junyan’s eyes were filled with pride and self-satisfaction, “If you are not convinced by my name, feel free to get lost.”

Miss Wang Luoqiu!

Upon hearing this name, the rich onlookers immediately fell silent, looking at each other while expressions of awe appeared on their faces. The renown of Wang Luoqiu, of the Luo generation of the Wang family, was widespread throughout Ping’an Town.

At the young age of eleven, she effortlessly defeated the heir of the Liu Clan, and boldly claimed to be invincible among peers under sixteen!

Such a prominent figure had become the idol many young people in Ping’an Town worshipped. Moreover, she was also the sixth miss of the Luo generation of the Wang family, and the younger sister of the current head of the Wang family, Wang Shouzhe.

“Gousheng, no, no, I was wrong, Junyan.” Zhang Tiedan quickly crumbled, showing a fawning expression, “I saw it from a young age that you, Junyan, were not a commoner. And now you have even become the trusted aide of the Sixth Miss of the Wang family. Who could have foreseen your soaring to such a great height? Our Zhang family will buy a property in Zhuwei Manor.”

Yet Ouyang Junyan wore a calm expression as he lightly said, “I don’t dare to claim to be the Sixth Miss’ confidant, as I am merely a little servant whom she happened to promote. As for Zhuwei Manor, it’s not something that can be bought by just anybody.”

The Phase I property of Zhuwei Manor is located right alongside the Zhuwei Canal. On the right, it is adjacent to the renowned Zhuwei Lake, and on the left, it overlooks the Wang family’s longstanding Feng Shui treasure, the Prosperous Farm, and from a distance, it even faces the Wang family’s main residence across the lake.” Ouyang Junyan’s face wore an increasingly proud and satisfied expression, “Such a unique, valuable Feng Shui property that can be passed down from generation to generation is surely not for common people to buy. If you want to purchase Phase I’s properties, you need to qualify. Zhang Tiedan, do you think money is the only requirement?”

“Yes, yes, yes, Junyan, you are right,” Zhang Tiedan nodded and bent his waist while wearing a fawning smile, “For this matter, Junyan, as we have known each other since we were kids, can you do me a favor?”

“It depends. There is a qualification review process,” Ouyang Junyan responded indifferently, “Some things are not solely determined by me.”

Upon hearing this, the wealthy onlookers were filled with anticipation, their faces showing reverence and expectation. Just as they prepared to approach Ouyang Gousheng, no, Ouyang Junyan, to establish good relations.

Suddenly.

From the distance, a burst of commotion was heard. “The Sixth Miss is here, the Sixth Miss has come to inspect the construction site.”

“No spectating allowed! Get back to work.” “Everyone, perform well and show the Sixth Miss the spirit of our Fifth Squad.” “The Sixth Miss is here; anyone who embarrasses me will have to answer to me.”

Supervisors from every work crew began to roar in response.

Wang Shouzhe was left dumbfounded at this scene.

When did our Luoqiu acquire such prestige?
