Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 821: Chapter 15: Powerful! The Foundation of the Wang Family’s Prosperity (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_4

If the surge fails and one is still young, there may be a second chance.

Therefore, the pursuit of the Purple Abode Realm for a Sky Pride is extremely resource-consuming. One only needs to look at the Strong Grade Seven Wang Family of Zhenze to understand that to support one Sky Pride, the entire clan has to tighten its belt.

Thus, even though Shu Yong’s lineage contributes much and receives more resources, they remain quite poor. Just the daily cultivation expenses for the father and son are significant, not to mention adding a Sky Pride granddaughter…

Just for Wang Shou Yong’s lineage alone, are they planning for a future comparable to a Rank Four Prominent Family?

With no choice but to soldier on, Wang Shou Yong and his son had to approach Wang Shouzhe again. And of course, Wang Shouzhe firmly believed that they must advance, no matter what the cost!

If their contributions weren’t enough, they could owe a debt to the clan treasury first—the opportunity once missed would be lost forever.

First, raise the bloodline talent to close to that of a Sky Pride, and then rely on the Treasure Pill of Limitlessness for a surge, reaching as high as they possibly can. After all, there are considerable gaps even among Sky Prides, and some of the leading ones, if lucky enough, might even have a chance at the Divine Power Territory!

With Wang Shouzhe’s sweeping decision, Shu Yong and his son naturally returned home with great satisfaction and high spirits.

However, this also brought immense pressure to Wang Shouzhe, the Family Head. In fact, with the current financial power of the Wang family, purchasing a Treasure Pill of Limitlessness was not that much pressure, even if it were to buy one every year.

But the problem is, though producing a Sky Pride is easy, cultivating one is difficult.

To cultivate a Sky Pride to the Purple Abode Realm, it would take between two hundred fifty to three hundred fifty years. Putting aside the likes of the Treasure Pills of Limitlessness and other Dan medicines for increasing talent, the total expenditure would reach thirty to forty million, averaging around one million per year!

Of course, that’s just the average annual expenditure.

As for the initial stage, it doesn’t require such an exaggerated amount, but the closer one gets to the Purple Abode Realm, the greater the consumption, especially during the surge to that realm. The expenditure is the greatest; it feels like the expenses incurred when one’s child is getting married… Most families need a long time to accumulate such wealth!

The pressure on Wang Shouzhe, of course, was not from cultivating one, or even a few, in the Purple Abode Realm.

In fact, the number of Sky Prides and Great Heavenly Prouds in the Wang Family was exaggeratedly high, and when the offspring with exceptional talents descend into the world, how could those with promising talents not be cultivated?

With every addition of a Sky Pride or even a Little Sky Pride, it seems like accumulating a solid foundation and augmenting the family’s strength, but it’s also a heavy burden on the family.

This is why those Purple Abode Prominent Families find it extremely difficult to cultivate just one or two more in the Purple Abode Realm. It’s not about biting the bullet to afford a Treasure Pill of Limitlessness; it’s that the family simply lacks the deep foundation necessary for cultivation.

Therefore, Wang Shouzhe had to lead the family to continuously expand their territories and industries, to earn more money, and to gather more resources. Only in this way could they meet the ever-increasing annual total expenses of the growing family.

These thoughts, though slow to speak of, had already passed in a few breaths in the mind of Wang Shouzhe.

He only had to behold Wang Yingqi, and a myriad of thoughts and emotions overwhelmed him.

“Yingqi, my girl,” Wang Shouzhe smiled as he gently patted her head, “I heard from your Fourth Uncle that you’ve been very active lately. You and Yuxuan have established the ‘Heavenly Girl Alliance’ in the Clan School, with the following entry criteria: one, the girl must be under fifteen; two, the bloodline must reach Middle Sub-Grade; three, members must unconditionally obey the orders of the Chief Alliance Hierarch Wang Ying Xuan, and the Vice Alliance Hierarch Wang Yingqi.”

That’s right.

Wang Yingqi and Wang Ying Xuan, the two missies of the Ying generation, the twentieth and the twenty-first! The youngest two have already started to “bully the weak and dominate the strong” in the Clan School.

And gradually, they have taken on the air of the number one “organization” in the Wang Family School, with many teachers unable to handle them.

“Fourth Uncle, is there something wrong with that?” Wang Yingqi said with innocent eyes, “The full name of our organization is ‘Talented Young Girls’ Mutual Aid Alliance.’ It’s to protect the weaker girls from being bullied by the teachers and fellow students.”

“Also, Ying Xuan is going to the Sacred Land to cultivate in a few years, and after discussing with grandfather and father, they also decided to let me accompany her, to take good care of Ying Xuan. I established the ‘Heavenly Girl Alliance’ to build some foundations for Ying Xuan, smoothing the road ahead for her future path as a Saint.”

“What?”

Wang Shouzhe looked flabbergasted, “Since when did the Clan Leader dictate that Ying Xuan was to walk the path of a Saint? I merely allowed her to go to the Sacred Land for cultivation…” How come there are parts of the family’s cultivation plan he, Wang Shouzhe, didn’t know about?

“Ying Xuan herself said so,” Yingqi blinked, “She mentioned that Old Ancestor Yu An of her maternal family has spoken, and even if it costs her family’s entire fortune, she will support Ying Xuan in striving for the path of a Saint, not allowing certain individuals to monopolize power, creating a one-man show, deciding who gets to surge and who doesn’t. Fourth Uncle, who is this ‘certain individual’ Old Ancestor Yu An spoke of?”

“Err… haha~” Wang Shouzhe’s eyelids began to twitch, Fang Youan, oh Fang Youan, you really do plan far ahead, exhaustively strategizing for the rise of the Fang Family.

Latching onto a Great Heavenly Proud was one thing, but now preparing to curry favor with the Lord of the Sacred Land?

When have I, Wang Shouzhe, ever monopolized power and dictated decisions?

To compete is to compete, who’s afraid… wait, that’s not… On one side is my daughter, and on the other, my granddaughter?

Wait, it seems there’s more to it.

I remember decades ago, my grandniece Wang Licui wrote back saying she was following her Master to the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty. She also hinted in her heart that her Master intended to properly cultivate her, aiming to let her join the contest for the position of Saint, rising to the Station of Lord of the Sacred Land.

“Three of them?”

“Daughter, granddaughter, niec… Wang Shouzhe suddenly felt overwhelmed.
