After some polite small talk.
Wang Shouzhe learned that the repurchase price for the Turtle Scale Treasure Shield was thirty-two thousand Qian Gold. The price was quite fair, clearly Zhong Xingwang had put a lot of effort into this.
The price for the advanced Restrain Breath Jade was eleven thousand each.
Although the price was extremely high, in order to keep some trump cards for the family, it was necessary to spend the money. After all, the advanced Restrain Breath Jade could hide the powerful aura of Realm Cultivators.
Furthermore, advanced Restrain Breath Jade wasn’t typically a common treasure. The fact that Zhong Xingwang was able to secure them proved that he’d worked quite hard.
As a result, Wang Shouzhe spent another sixty-five thousand Qian Gold, of which an extra three thousand Qian Gold was included as a reward for Zhong Xingwang’s hard work.
With this, the Wang family’s funds have become slightly tight. Luckily, with multiple sources of income, there’s no fear of cash flow issues.
Besides, if the Qian Gold is not converted into strength, what’s the use of having more money?
Wang Shouzhe spent a lot of money this time, but all of it went towards strengthening the family’s capabilities and foundation.
Regarding the three thousand reward, Zhong Xingwang declined repeatedly.
However, when Wang Shouzhe is conducting business, he insists on clarity and fairness, and will never take advantage of anyone without offering proper compensation.
After some persistence, Zhong Xingwang reluctantly accepted the Qian Gold and sighed deeply, “Brother Shouzhe, out of all the Family Heads I’ve met, you’re the most meticulous. The prosperity of the Wang family today is undoubtedly due to your efforts.”
“You flatter me, brother. You flatter me!” Wang Shouzhe humbly said.
“By the way… how is elder sister… doing these days? I haven’t had the chance to ask about her wellbeing in a long time.” Zhong Xingwang was doing well all along, he couldn’t help but steer the topic toward Old Ancestor Longyan.
“Ahem.” Wang Shouzhe coughed twice, once again solemnly warning, “Brother Zhong, I really have to remind you. Our Ancestor Longyan, her ambition is the path of the Celestial being, I’m afraid…”
“I understand, I understand. My admiration for elder sister Longyan is purely respectful, nothing beyond that. If elder sister wants to pursue her path of Celestial being, it is undoubtedly the right thing. All I need to do is quietly support her from behind.” Zhong Xingwang nodded in agreement continually, then changed the subject, “Alright, I’m quite tired from my journey, I’ll rest now. Brother Shouzhe, you don’t need to entertain me further.”
Then Zhong Xingwang naturally went to the guest room that was reserved for him.
He used to drop by every year and stay for a while, so a room was kept vacant for him. Luckily, when Old Ancestor Zhou Xuan designed the main residence, he had taken into consideration the growth of future generations and built quite a few extra rooms.
If not, they couldn’t accommodate everyone coming to freeload for food, drink and lodging.
After taking the Turtle Scale Treasure Shield.
Wang Shouzhe went straight to Long Yan Habitat to give Old Ancestor a surprise.
He happened to run into Old Ancestor Xuan Fu who was visiting Long Yan Habitat as well. The two Ancestors were in the courtyard, drinking Spiritual Tea and chatting about something.
This wasn’t unusual.
After settling in at the Wang’s, Old Ancestor Xuan Fu visited Old Ancestor Long Yan every now and then.
“Shouzhe, your timing is impeccable. I was just discussing you with my cousin sister.” Old Ancestor Xuan Fu seemed to be in a good mood, “Come and join us.”
Although Wang Shouzhe had also reached the Spirit Platform Realm, the two of them were Ancestors, he naturally wouldn’t lose his manners. He bowed and said, “At Old Ancestor’s command, I dare not disobey.”
Subsequently, Wang Shouzhe sat by their side, helping to refill their cups with Spiritual Tea, keeping quiet all the while.
“Shouzhe, the opinion of my sister and myself is the same,” Old Ancestor Xuan Fu said. “After the New Year, you and Ruolan should accompany me to the Academic Palace. You two have just advanced to Spirit Platform Realm, you must acquire the subsequent cultivation techniques from the Academic Palace. Also… my cousin sister here, asks for you to pay a visit to Master Binglan.”
The Academic Palace, Master Binglan? Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly.
“Of course, the most important part of this journey is, your Wang family should try to build a good relationship with the higher-ups of the Academic Palace.” Old Ancestor Xuan Fu continued, “Regardless, the Purple Abode Academic Palace is our Longzuo County’s Profound Martial Sacred Land. In a sense, the Academic Palace influences at least half of the situation in Longzuo County.”
Wang Shouzhe considered this silently, Old Ancestor Xuan Fu’s words were reasonable indeed.
The influence of the Purple Abode Academic Palace in the entire Longzuo County was too immense.
From what he gathered from the two Ancestors conversation, they wanted him, Wang Shouzhe to pay a visit and flatter Master Binglan.
However, why would they assume that Master Binglan would allow him to flatter him?
Wang Shouzhe was deep in thought, apparently, the incident that year was more complex than he had imagined.
