Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1193: Chapter 98: Shou Zhe Promoted to Purple Abode! Anye to Have a Grand Wedding_4 Chapter 1193: Chapter 98: Shou Zhe Promoted to Purple Abode! Anye to Have a Grand Wedding_4 The interior of the carriage was luxurious and comfortable, incorporating lighting, heating, cooling, and independent bathroom features, as though it were a moving miniature palace.

This was a “Moving Palace Carriage” produced by the Wang Clan’s Artifact Refining Headquarters, a luxury product born out of Wang’s “human-centered” artifact refining philosophy.

Lacking the technical prowess to overtake the Gongye Clan’s refining workshop for the time being, the Wang Clan’s Artifact Refining Headquarters has always pursued a product strategy of “civilian usage, mass production, and modularization” over the years.

Although long-distance travel is mainly undertaken by flying carriages, the “Moving Palace Carriage” still holds a considerable market.

The reason behind the Wang clan’s production of such luxury items was twofold: firstly, with the development of various new technologies, there would be numerous technological by-products which should not go to waste. Secondly, the Wang clan naturally had an advantageous position in the production of raw materials.

With Wang Shouzhe’s bloodline talent continuously being strengthened, his ability to catalyze and cultivate a variety of plants, including spirit plants, had reached an unbelievable level.

With his hand, he had cultivated many kinds of very practical economic plants, some of which were beyond the imagination of others in the past.

This included the Spirit Cypress, which could produce large quantities of high-quality resin that could replace most functions of rubber and performed even better.

There was also the development and optimization of the fast-growing Spirit Sandalwood.

Under the effects of the Wang Clan’s Spirit Gathering Array and Wang Lixian, the fast-growing Spirit Sandalwood could mature in just a few short years.

Although the lumber produced from fast-growing Spirit Sandalwood was not as heavy and sturdy as some Spirit Wood Materials, it was extremely lightweight, pest-resistant, rot-resistant, significantly more durable than ordinary wood, and it could emit a refreshing sandalwood fragrance.

Currently, in the market, this was absolutely the most cost-effective material for manufacturing flying carriages. Any surplus material was then used to build “Moving Palace Carriages,” generating additional income. After all, the market for Moving Palace Carriages was enormous, far surpassing the flying carriage market.

The low cost of the main materials, along with the Wang Clan’s expertise in modular design and assembly line production, were advantages strong enough to quickly dominate the market.

The price of a Moving Palace Carriage ranged from ten thousand to hundreds of thousands of Qian Gold, depending on the materials and level of luxury, and this did not even include the Spirit Horses or Spirit Beasts pulling the carriage.

To date, the total sales of Moving Palace Carriages in the Great Qian Land had reached thousands of units, and the future market was highly anticipated; it was indeed a vast market measured by the billions.

There was no helping it, as the Wang family continued to grow, becoming more prosperous with an increasing number of outstanding family members with a bloodline talent, the financial pressure became more and more apparent. Only by continuously diversifying their sources of income could they manage the growing financial pressures.

This “Moving Palace Carriage” was the luxury model, and with the addition of two level-three Spirit Horses pulling it, its total value was nearly equivalent to a Spirit Bird Flying Carriage. Its owner was Wu Jinghao, the Little Commandery Prince of the Southern Desert Wang Family.

At this moment, Wu Jinghao was comfortably lying inside the carriage, served by two beautiful maids.

Facing him sat the former one of the two young tyrants of the Southern Desert — “Wang Shihai.”

Wang Shihai of the Southern Desert had matured from his juvenile days. Dressed in luxurious Profound Martial attire, sporting a refined mustache, his gaze deep and solemn, he was clearly a mature and steady young man now.

With his Heavenly Chosen talent and the persistent nurturing by the Southern Desert Wang Family, Wang Shihai, at the age of around a hundred and twenty or thirty, had reached the third level of the Heavenly Human Realm.

Even among the talents of the Grade Five Prominent Families, such a cultivation base was considered a core member.

Of course, Wang Shihai couldn’t compare with those ten outstanding youths in the Shangjing City, much less with the Wang family’s extraordinary members. But compared to the vast majority of people in this world, he was already much stronger.

In fact, he was so much stronger than the vast majority of the world’s population that he had a high probability of achieving the Purple Abode Realm in the future, making him one of the elite.

Normally, sending gifts was a task that any elder in the Heavenly Human Realm could do on behalf of the family.

However, the Little Commandery Prince Wu Jinghao insisted on showing off his newly purchased “Moving Palace Carriage” and insisted on bringing Wang Shihai along. The two volunteered to escort the wedding presents, and there they were, traveling for several months.

“Wow, this road… It’s really smooth, and the main road can accommodate at least four carriages abreast. How much money did this cost?” Wu Jinghao’s first visit to the Southern Six Guards of Longzuo made everything seem new and exciting.

“This is called a bi-directional four-lane road. See those two yellow lines in the middle? We have to keep to the right and cannot cross the yellow lines. On the main roads of Changning County, there are even bi-directional six-lane roads,” Wang Shihai replied listlessly. He had been to Changning County often enough not to be as naive as Wu Jinghao.

The closer they got to Changning County, the more vehicles appeared on the road, and flying carriages periodically swept across the sky.

When the convoy finally arrived at the Changning ferry crossing, the so-called bi-directional six-lane road was actually jammed!

Carriages were everywhere, of all different kinds, and from the flags and emblems on the carriages, it was clear they belonged to various families.

Not only that, but the boats on Peace River were also coming and going in an endless stream.

“Shihai, we came half a year early, didn’t we?” Little Commandery Prince Wu Jinghao felt a tingling on his scalp, “The Changning Wang Clan’s influence is too great. Just for the wedding of a legitimate grandson, so many people have come early to give gifts. This is much more impressive than my wedding a few years ago.”

In reality, Wu Jinghao was just grumbling. He knew that the current Wang Clan was no longer what it used to be. Wang Anye was marrying the Imperial Household’s Great Sky Pride, and not just one, but two at the same time.

Such fortune truly made all the young men of Longzuo County green with envy.

Wu Jinghao’s visit this time was also to see for himself: just what kind of skills did Wang Anye possess to have such incredible fortune.
