Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2914: Chapter 48: Working Emperor_5

Reflecting on the few people behind him, Immortal Emperor Wen Rui introduced, ”By the way, these few... um...”

”Fellow countryman!”

Emperor Tianrui quickly interrupted Wen Rui, then cast a slightly annoyed glance at Wang Ningxi, curiously asking, ”Are you Wang Ningxi, the head of the Wang Clan’s Artifact Refining Headquarters?”

He had indeed heard of the name Wang Ningxi, as he was currently marketing the emerging Profound Martial armor produced by the Wang family.

”I am indeed Wang Ningxi.” Wang Ningxi immediately put away the crystal screen, stepped forward, and politely responded, ”Three seniors, were you introduced by Senior Wen Rui as refining tributes? You have come at a good time; our Refining Artifact Headquarters is recently overwhelmed with too many orders.”

At this, even Jade River’s Sacred Emperor was quite infuriated.

This emperor is your Wang family’s future in-law!

Taoist Master Taichu raised his hand to calm the about-to-explode Jade River’s Sacred Emperor, looking at Wang Ningxi with some curiosity, ”Little friend, how are the conditions for True Immortal Realm artifact refiners?”

”Didn’t Senior Wen Rui mention it in his letter?” Wang Ningxi smiled politely, ”Rest assured, seniors; at our Refining Artifact Headquarters, the conditions for True Immortal Realm artifact refiners are extremely high. As long as your skills meet the standards and you pass training, after employment, you can earn at least eight top-quality spirit stones annually, along with a supply of spirit rice and spiritual wine for meals.”

”What?”

Eight Extreme Spirits a year?

To a Sacred Supreme, this number is naturally insignificant, but they know very well how enticing this is for ordinary Immortal Clans.

Some old True Immortals from families, doing nothing, require two Extreme Spirits just to maintain their state annually, and over a millennium, that’s a minimum expense of about twenty Immortal Spirit Stones.

For most ordinary Immortal Clans, this is a huge fortune, and saving it could nurture many outstanding children.

If working for a millennium at the Wang Clan’s Artifact Refining Headquarters, not only could one save that huge expense of twenty immortal spirits, but also earn at least sixty Immortal Spirits to take back, enhancing the family estate significantly.

At least, over a thousand years, it’s enough to buy two extremely powerful Immortal Artifacts!

And if an old True Immortal, past the inheritance period, already seven or eight thousand years old, grits their teeth and works for two thousand years, they could earn an additional one hundred and twenty Immortal Spirit Stones!

Isn’t that equivalent to obtaining an Immortal Scripture?

This is absolutely a deadly temptation for ordinary Immortal Clans.

Nearby, Immortal Emperor Wen Rui looked at Emperor Tianrui with an enigmatic expression, as if to say: Does Your Majesty now understand why I am working here?

Isn’t this better than being some useless Immortal Emperor?

Moreover, he has already passed the legacy to the Crown Prince; if he doesn’t work, should he stay at home wasting resources for free? Raising the next generation of Immortal Emperor is also costly; taking advantage of still being able to work, it’s the right thing to come out and accumulate more family wealth.

”Your Majesty.” Immortal Emperor Wen Rui pulled Emperor Tianrui aside and earnestly persuaded, ”There are several idle Immortal Kings in our Sacred Dynasty, staying home and consuming resources in vain. Why not introduce them to work here?”

”Well... may I ask, how is the salary for the initial stage Sacred Supreme?” Emperor Tianrui finally voiced his inner thoughts.

”This...” Wang Ningxi glanced at Immortal Emperor Wen Rui, then at Emperor Tianrui, and a flash of realization hit him. He quickly bowed in embarrassment, ”I dare not, dare not, I didn’t realize it was Emperor Tianrui in person, my apologies for the disrespect.”

”What disrespect? I’m just inquiring casually about the market.” Emperor Tianrui’s eyes showed a slightly complicated expression.

”Well... our family is currently quite short of Sacred Supreme tributes, and the annual tribute has already risen to one hundred and thirty Extreme Spirits. There are also various other benefits and perks, such as full board, bonuses every ten and a hundred years, additional contribution rewards, etc., which cumulatively amount to about two Immortal Spirit Stones. Of course, this is just the current state and might fluctuate in the future~~”

Cumulative annual tribute of two Immortal Spirits?

Emperor Tianrui’s heart was immediately stirred.

With his lifespan of thirty-six thousand years, he can still live approximately eight or nine thousand more years. If he retires early and works for six thousand years, even without pay raises, that’s eighteen thousand Immortal Spirit Stones, equivalent to one hundred and twenty Chaos Spirit Stones!

Such a large number of Chaos Spirit Stones could barely afford a Sacred Image.

Not only does this save expenses, but there are also great gains; if timed well, they might even add a Sacred Image to the family!

One must know that the entire Tianrui Sacred Dynasty has existed for over a hundred thousand years, yet to this day, the Imperial Household still only has one Sacred Image passed down, which is somewhat humble.

Even without a Sacred Image, such a fortune could significantly bolster the family’s foundation, and with the whole Sacred Dynasty working harder, selling more of the Wang family’s new armors, it might not take a few tens of thousands of years for the Tianrui Sacred Dynasty to rival the Jade River Sacred Dynasty.

Not to mention Emperor Tianrui, even Jade River’s Sacred Emperor couldn’t help but be moved.

Should I send that Sacred King from home to work? After all, he’s idle at home, eating food for nothing...

Or maybe inquire about the salary for a mid-stage Sacred Supreme...

Taoist Master Taichu glanced around, noticing the lack of dignity on the faces of these two dignified Sacred Emperors, and couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.

Do you two have to be so unambitious?

For a moment, he even wanted to ask, does your Wang Clan accept Taoist Masters?

If so, what’s the annual tribute?
