Protect Our Patriarch

Long Yan Ancestor was slightly taken aback, finding Wang Shouzhe's words quite reasonable.

However, it was precisely because Ancestor Zhubo had been running around in Changning Guard that the Wang's Clan had not suffered a devastating blow. How could this be explained?

Indeed, it was puzzling.

After some thought, Long Yan Ancestor said, "Our Wang's Clan has been under the care of the Longzuo Wang's Clan since we split. After all, many of our family's cultivation methods were brought out from the Longzuo Wang's Clan, which is already a favor."

"Furthermore, when our Wang's Clan fell into hardship, the Longzuo Wang's Clan also stood up and expressed their stance, even squeezing out some resources for us."

"Shouzhe, you are going to the academy this time, and you will pass through the commandery city. This is a good opportunity for you to visit Ancestor Zhubo on my behalf. Firstly, to thank him for his kindness over the years, and secondly, to ask about the past."

"There is naturally no problem for me to do this," Wang Shouzhe thought for a moment and then bowed his hand, "But it would be best if Ancestor accompanies me to the academy next year. Master Binglan has shown kindness to Ancestor, regardless of whether Ancestor re-enters the sect, this matter ultimately needs to be resolved, and it must be done by you personally."

"This?" Long Yan Ancestor was slightly embarrassed.

It had been sixty years, and this matter had always been a hurdle in her heart. She had always been afraid to face it directly, showing some signs of avoidance.

No matter what, she had to personally resolve it, even if it meant being punished by her master, it would actually bring her inner peace.

After careful consideration, Long Yan Ancestor finally made up her mind and said, "Alright, I will go to the academy with Shouzhe and ask my master for punishment."

Wang Shouzhe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Long Yan Ancestor agree.

It was clear that Master Binglan was a person who cherished old feelings. If Long Yan Ancestor didn't go, it would undoubtedly be a pipe dream to want to cling to her.

Moreover, Wang Shouzhe deeply doubted.

With the strength of the Longzuo Wang's Clan back then, which was barely enough to complete the transition of heaven and man, it was probably not enough to smooth things over.

Perhaps Master Binglan was secretly operating behind the scenes?

This was not an impossible thing.

After all, Ancestor Xuanfu had also said that over the past few decades, Master Binglan had mentioned Long Yan Ancestor several times. With such importance, it was not normal for her to completely ignore it back then.

Of course, there was no point in guessing at this point. Everything would be clear when they went to Longzuo Commandery and the Purple Mansion Academy next year.

After Wang Shouzhe had decided on this matter, he turned to Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luoqing, the two girls, and asked, "How have you two decided?"

Wang Luoqiu pondered for a moment and said, "Since Ancestor Xuanfu has already said that the academy will not prevent disciples from interacting with their families. It's just that they are not allowed to come back and guard for a long time. In that case, I have no worries."

"Anyway, I never thought about inheriting the Wang's Clan, so it's fine for Fourth Brother to continue to be in charge. He's doing quite well."

Perhaps Wang Luoqiu was a bit naive, but her feelings for the family were very deep. Although she had ideals, she did not want to completely break away from the family.

However, the latter half of her sentence made Wang Shouzhe break out in a cold sweat. It seemed as if she was saying that if you wanted to inherit the family, you would have a share, thank you for letting me continue to be in charge, and thank you for saying that I'm doing quite well.

"In addition, as long as the academy can allow me to see a broader world and step onto a bigger stage, I am willing to give it a try. It would be best if there were opportunities to fight every day." Wang Luoqiu's eyes were filled with excitement and longing.

It was very clear that Wang Luoqiu was very curious about the Purple Mansion Academy. After all, the name of the Purple Mansion Academy was too big, and everyone was proud to enter the academy.

But Wang Luoqing said, "Fourth Brother, we won't be going to the academy until next spring anyway. I'll go and take a look then. If it feels good and the conditions can be negotiated, I don't mind giving it a try."

This little girl really had big ideas. She hadn't even entered the academy yet, but she was already thinking about negotiating terms with the academy.

However, Wang Shouzhe actually agreed with her approach. She was thoughtful and deliberate, planning before acting, rather than acting on impulse and preference.

As soon as Wang Luoqing said this, Wang Luoqiu immediately disagreed. She said, "Then I'll also take a look next year and evaluate it."

This made Ancestor Xuanfu laugh and cry.

The cards of the Wang's Clan were really big, one bigger than the other.

What kind of place was the Purple Mansion Academy?

That was the academy that countless young talents in Longzuo Commandery wanted to enter, even if they had to break their heads.

Many families tried everything they could to send their children to the Purple Mansion Academy. Some powerful families even went so far as to pull strings and use back doors to get their children in.

But they were different.

Either they complained that it was too tiring, or they would only go if there was food, or they even had to evaluate the academy and negotiate terms with the academy.

From top to bottom.

They were probably all led astray by this brat, Wang Shouzhe.

But there was no way around it.

Who made the Wang's Clan so powerful now? All of these children had extraordinary bloodlines, each of them was a direct disciple, a seed of the Purple Mansion.

Even if they really wanted to negotiate terms with the academy, it might not be impossible.

Forget it, let's take them to see first. Whether it works or not, it's not up to her, Liu Xuanfu.

With this matter settled.

Everyone was ready to disperse, and Wang Shouzhe took the opportunity to probe Long Yan Ancestor, "Ancestor, Brother Zhong Xingwang has arrived. Will Ancestor spare some time to meet him?"

Sure enough, Long Yan Ancestor's eyebrows furrowed and she said coldly, "So what if he comes? What does it have to do with me? Which year does he not come to mooch off our family's food during the New Year? And he never pays for it!"

Clearly, our Ancestor still didn't like him.

If it weren't for the sake of past relationships, Long Yan Ancestor would have driven him away. Ancestor was very protective of the family's food and hated it when unrelated people mooched off them.

Seeing this, Wang Shouzhe didn't say anything more and led the three juniors to retreat first.

The trip to the Purple Mansion Academy was not until the beginning of next year, so there was no rush to arrange it.

Moreover, it was indeed necessary for Wang Shouzhe to go to the Purple Mansion Academy, not only because of the issue of the subsequent Lingtai Chapter of the "Eternal Spring True Secret".The cultivation method of the Spirit Platform Realm was not urgent. After all, they had just entered the Spirit Platform Realm, and their main focus was to stabilize their realm. They were not in a hurry to rush to the second or third layer.

The main thing was to find a way to get a map from the Zifu Academy.

Because in that trial ground, Wang Shouzhe and his wife had passed the fourth level of the trial, and the Spirit Artifact demanded that they report to the headquarters of the Shenwu Army of the Shenwu Dynasty for training as soon as possible.

Where was the headquarters of the Shenwu Army?

The couple was naturally baffled.

The Spirit Artifact did provide a map, but it was a map from a hundred thousand years ago.

A map from a hundred thousand years ago!

It was enough to make the sea change into mulberry fields, mountains collapse and rise, rivers change course, and the terrain change unpredictably.

Who could find the location of the Shenwu Army headquarters from this map?

Therefore, they could only pin their hopes on the Zifu Academy. After all, according to the Ancestor Xuanfu, the Zifu Academy had a deep study of the Shenwu Dynasty and often excavated the relics of the Shenwu Dynasty.

Perhaps there would be news and location of the headquarters of the Shenwu Army of the Shenwu Dynasty.

Then Wang Shouzhe focused most of his attention on exploring his bloodline talent.

At this time, it was the maturity period of the Red Crystal Spirit Rice.

And it was already the end of October, and it was cold outside, so Wang Shouzhe simply had a small wooden house built in the cave of the fire spirit vein and lived there.

In a few days, Liu Ruolan, who was not used to being single, followed.

The couple lived a rare peaceful life here, and the two naughty children were forgotten.

Red Crystal Spirit Rice matures once a year.

On this medium-grade fire spirit vein, the clan had gradually opened up 20 acres of medium-grade fire spirit fields over the years.

After years of exploration and learning, the clan gradually mastered the knack of planting Red Crystal Spirit Rice.

Now, with careful cultivation, the yield per acre has reached 300 catties, with a total yield of 6,000 catties. According to the general price of Red Crystal Spirit Rice, which is about 80 big copper per catty, it is 4,800 Top Gold.

According to the law of Daqian, one acre of medium-grade spirit field needs to pay a tax of 20 Top Gold each year, of which only 400 Top Gold need to be paid in tax.

Even after deducting the cost of spirit seeds, spirit fertilizer, labor, and the amortization of array spirit stones, the annual net profit is far more than 3,000 Top Gold.

Although Wang Shouzhe now spends a lot of money, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of funds.

But that was all money spent on making the clan stronger.

Glass, cement, paper, it seems that every year brings a lot of profits to the clan. But these things may be copied by other clans one day, and the clan may lose this layer of benefits.

But why are spirit veins and spirit fields called the real pillars and foundation of a clan? That's because no matter when, the spirit rice produced always has value, and like Red Crystal Spirit Rice, the market is often in short supply, and there is no worry about selling.

More than 3,000 Top Gold a year, more than 30,000 in a hundred years, and more than 300,000 in a thousand years.

And some slightly stronger clans, their existence is often calculated in hundreds of years, and there are even thousand-year-old families in Longzuo Commandery.

The accumulation year after year, hundreds of years, thousands of years down, how terrifying?

Therefore, Wang Shouzhe's development of various side businesses is naturally beneficial to the explosive growth of the clan. But in the final analysis, it is necessary to use the side business to support the main business and drive the main business.

Only this kind of pillar and foundation will make a clan last forever.

What's more, there is still a lot of room for development in this medium-grade fire spirit vein, and it is estimated that 30 acres of medium-grade fire spirit fields can be developed in the end, and the future income will be even more considerable.

However, this is just the foundation of a slightly stronger ordinary worldly clan, and it is not enough for Wang Shouzhe.

After all, there are many powerful clans, they have improved the spirit seeds year after year, making the yield per acre higher and the quality of the spirit rice better. Even if one acre of land, the annual income is an extra 50 Top Gold, 30 acres is an extra 1,500 Top Gold a year.

Over the years, this is a huge number.

But those powerful clans, improving spirit seeds is not overnight. It is through decades, hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years, gradually improved.

They do not sell these spirit seeds to the outside world, they are kept tightly sealed, for fear of leakage.

The spirit rice sold is mostly dehulled, or processed by other deep processing methods, to ensure that you cannot cultivate it after you get it.

In the past eight years, Wang Shouzhe has put most of his thoughts on ordinary rice and wheat varieties. Now the several peripheral farms of the Wang's Clan no longer grow ordinary grains, but are planted with high-quality grain varieties, Wang's No. 9 rice and Wang's No. 7 wheat.

Wang's No. 9 and No. 7 grain varieties cannot be bred for the second time, but their yield per acre and disease resistance are far beyond ordinary grain varieties.

Therefore, even if the growers buy grain seeds at a high price, the final profit is two to three percent higher than usual.

This has already made people flock to it.

And in the core farm of the Wang's Clan, what is secretly planted now is - the mysterious No. 19 wheat and No. 23 rice.

These two grain seeds can increase the yield per acre by more than 50%.

Such high-quality grain seeds.

Wang Shouzhe dared not sell them in Changning Guard anymore.

Instead, he cooperated deeply with Qian Xue'an, the shopkeeper of Qian's Trading Company, and transported them to distant and remote cities for sale through the secret channels of Qian's Trading Company.

Now, in those remote cities, a craze has been set off, and the price of grain seeds is rising.

Therefore, how much money can be made by selling crops?

The most profitable is of course selling seeds.

Relying on the secret production of grain seeds from those core farms, Wang Shouzhe really made a lot of money.

And Qian Xue'an, the shopkeeper of Qian's Trading Company, relied on his secret cooperation with Wang Shouzhe, not only firmly held the position of the shopkeeper of Changning Guard. His position in the clan has also been rising step by step, being valued by the Ancestor, becoming one of the cores of the clan, and obtaining the qualification to walk the path of the Heavenly Man.

Therefore,

Despite the seemingly profitable foreign glass, cement, and paper businesses, the most lucrative venture for the Wang's Clan at present is secretly selling grain seeds.

How profitable is it to sell the grains produced in the fields as seeds?

For these reasons,

Wang Shouzhe focused his attention on the Red Crystal Spirit Rice. Regardless of whether it was 20 or 30 acres of medium-grade spirit fields, how much money could he make in a year by selling grains alone?

However, if he could develop a high-yield variety of Red Crystal Spirit Rice, he could multiply his net profit several times over, easily exceeding 20,000 Top Gold in a year.

Only when it reached that point would these medium-grade fire spirit fields truly become one of the pillars of the Wang's Clan.

This time, the harvest of the Red Crystal Spirit Rice was not taken lightly.

Instead, Wang Shouzhe first ordered people to search repeatedly in the twenty-acre spirit field, scraping out the strongest plants, the largest ears, and the fullest grains of Red Crystal Spirit Valley.

In the end, he selected hundreds of Red Crystal Spirit Valleys.

It was through these hundreds of Red Crystal Spirit Valleys that Wang Shouzhe began his miraculous journey.

In the deserted spirit field,

He planted these Red Crystal Spirit Valleys one by one. Then he used his bloodline talent to infuse the rich green mysterious energy into the earth and the spirit seeds.

Something amazing happened.

The spirit seeds took root and sprouted in a very short time, and matured in just one day. However, his mysterious energy was depleted two or three times in the process, and he had to recover it by meditating.

It was a success.

Wang Shouzhe was overjoyed. The awakening of the third level of his bloodline had greatly increased his bloodline concentration. The spirit seeds that were difficult to stimulate before, he could now control with ease.

Based on Wang Shouzhe's previous experience in improving ordinary grain seeds, he quickly catalyzed generation after generation of Red Crystal Spirit Valleys and conducted various experiments on them.

Finally, in one generation, he successfully created a spirit seed that could not reproduce a second time after special treatment.

This was the basis for selling grain seeds.

If the seeds could easily reproduce a second time, even if you cultivated them well, they would be copied as soon as you dared to sell them.

This was also why those powerful families protected their spirit seeds as if they were their lifelines.

"Congratulations, my lord, for adding another powerful foundation to our family." Liu Ruolan, who had been by Wang Shouzhe's side all along, was happy for him when she saw his success.

"Hehe~ It's all thanks to your good fortune." Wang Shouzhe was also very happy.

He didn't expect the effect of his triple bloodline to be so powerful. It was much stronger than the first level talent.

In a sense, this was the real unbeatable talent. If he were to simply sell spirit rice, he probably wouldn't make much money, but using it to improve spirit seeds, this talent couldn't be better.

In addition to the Red Crystal Spirit Rice, there was also White Jade Spirit Rice at home, which could also be improved into mass-produced spirit seeds.

Just these two items alone could bring in a terrifying amount of income in a year.

Indeed, farming was the real king's way.

"Indeed, my lord's bloodline talent is good, it's really profitable." Liu Ruolan also sighed, "Unlike my Primordial Water bloodline talent, it's not very useful."

"That's not necessarily true." Wang Shouzhe smiled mysteriously, "The third level of the Primordial Water bloodline is almost a Primordial Water spirit body, it's more useful than you think."

"What!?" Liu Ruolan's face turned red, and she glared at him fiercely.

Her husband was good in every way, but occasionally he was a bit of a rogue, which was a bit too much for her to handle.
