Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2591: Chapter 72: Divine Capital Luojing

“But, I don’t have the Immortal Scripture.” Emperor Zi’an said with a bitter expression, “Even Shi Zhao has the Qing Huang Immortal Scripture, but I am still stuck with just the Azure Dragon Codex. Shouzhe, could you find a way to help me buy an Immortal Scripture~”

“Even in the Sacred Domain, Immortal Scriptures are rare and hard to obtain.” Wang Shouzhe said, “In all these years, I’ve only seen an Immortal Scripture at the Divine Treasure Hall auction once. And the price of an Immortal Scripture is not low~~ the starting price is one Chaos Spirit Stone.”

Chaos Spirit Stone.

Even though Wang Shouzhe made a fortune in Chaos Spirit Stones in the Sacred Domain by riding the fluctuations in grain prices, that was the result of over a decade of careful planning and the financial struggle of resources consuming each other.

Even for someone as prominent as Sacred Supreme Yunpeng, putting aside the “public funds” of the Holy Island, he probably doesn’t have more than ten Chaos Spirit Stones in private. That’s after a long life, being frugal, and saving little by little over tens of thousands of years.

“Encountering the unexpected is not a problem. I still have time and can wait slowly.” Emperor Zi’an’s eyes gleamed, “As for money, I can accumulate it slowly. I just hope that Shouzhe can help me keep an eye out and seize the opportunity at auction.”

Nowadays, the development of Great Qian Land is extremely rapid, with annual national taxes nearing two hundred billion Qian Gold, which converts to about two Immortal Spirit Stones. However, the revenue from national taxes is taken from the people and used for the people, requiring constant investment in construction.

Of course, as an emperor’s son, Zi’an himself is supported by the state. Now that the Great Qian National Treasury is well-off, he also receives a substantial tribute income every year, which would allow him to accumulate dozens of Immortal Spirit Stones over a century or two.

In addition, the Great Qian imperial household and court have small stakes in the Holy Domain Development Headquarters, and over the years, have also accumulated considerable Immortal Spirit Stones through dividends, with an endless stream of income in the future.

However, the Great Qian’s tax rates on various emerging and pillar industries are comparatively low, especially in the Wang family’s alchemy industry, grain seed sales, and other industries, with low tax rates and a variety of preferential policies.

Even so, half of that two hundred billion tax revenue might be related to the Wang family.

Emperor Zi’an does not dare to levy heavy taxes on the Wang family’s industries, as it could anger them, possibly leading to their establishing their own nation, which would leave Great Qian with no tax revenue.

As long as the Wang family remains within Great Qian, it is like they are lifting Great Qian upward.

Currently, the situation is such that the Wang family can do without Great Qian, but Great Qian cannot do without the Wang family.

“Alright,” Wang Shouzhe nodded, “I’ll write a letter, and if there are suitable Immortal Scriptures, we’ll try to obtain them if there’s a chance.”

“Haha, I knew Shouzhe wouldn’t let me down.” Emperor Zi’an rejoiced, but then looked troubled, “However, if my funds fall short by then, I’ll still have to borrow a bit from you, Shouzhe.”

Emperor Zi’an could head to the Sacred Domain, but as a cultivator who has just entered the mid-stage of the Divine Power Territory, he’s not even worth mentioning there. Even if he had Spirit Stones to buy an Immortal Scripture, it would not be possible, as he might get robbed. Moreover, even if he wanted to go, the Clan House would likely prohibit it.

But with Shouzhe willing to help, he has no worries.

He is still far from the Transcendent Void Realm, with plenty of time to wait and save money.

Wang Shouzhe would naturally agree to Emperor Zi’an’s request.

After sending Emperor Zi’an off,

Wang Shouzhe summoned the family elders for a meeting to distribute the other two Immortal Scriptures.

The [Haotian Immortal Scripture], after discussion among the family elders, was ultimately decided to be given to the Old Ancestor Wang Xiaohan.

Besides Old Ancestor Longyan, Wang Xiaohan is the oldest Old Ancestor in the family, having made invaluable contributions. Meanwhile, he is the only surviving member of the “Xiao” generation in the Wang family, and no one disputed giving him this Immortal Scripture.

After the ownership of the Haotian Immortal Scripture was settled, only the [Mysterious Origin Immortal Scripture] remained.

This Immortal Scripture is neutral and harmonious, compatible with almost all attributes and bloodlines. In essence, it can be considered the “Old Ancestor” of the Mysterious Origin Codex, Mysterious Origin Technique, and so on. Although it is not particularly powerful, 99% of the family members are reasonably compatible with it and could theoretically inherit it.

After considering family hierarchy, contributions, bloodline talent sequencing, and other factors, the candidates were narrowed down to Wang Shou Yong, Wang Shoulian, Wang Luotong, Wang Luoqiu, Wang Luo Jing, and Wang Zongchang.

Wang Shouzhe gathered them all for a discussion.

Wang Luo Jing was the first to decline. Her Blood Gu Codex is of extremely high quality, and someone has successfully advanced to True Immortal through it. As long as her bloodline talent is high enough, she has a good chance of breaking through to True Immortal on her own and possibly transforming the Blood Gu Codex into the Blood Gu Immortal Scripture.

Additionally, there is another very important reason. The origin of the techniques and inspirations of the Blood Venerate can be traced back to a hidden relic in the Realm of Ruin. Wang Luo Jing has already applied for family support for the exploration of the hidden relic, which might yield significant results.

Wang Luoqiu also gave up on the Mysterious Origin Immortal Scripture.

She cultivates a Buddha Gate War Body type cultivation technique—the Ming King Liuli Golden Body Codex. After hearing about the numerous Buddha States in the Holy Region Xiruo, she decided to venture there.

In fact, this isn’t a blind venture; when she inherited the Codex from the relic, she obtained some intelligence about its origins.
