Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2958: Chapter 60: Various Gains! Shouzhe Plants Dao Yuan Fruit_2

Given this trend, when will he be able to repay the family’s contribution?

”As for this Sacred Pill Furnace? Well, let’s not allocate it to Shouye for now.” Wang Shouzhe picked up the Sacred Pill Furnace, thought for a moment, then put it back, ”We’ll place it in the family treasure house, Shouye, you can just rent it normally.”

Wang Shouye’s expression visibly relaxed a bit.

He was really afraid his fourth brother would forcibly give him another Pill Furnace, in which case he’d inevitably owe another huge debt. Renting would mean much less debt.

In the end, the only thing left worth allocating was the damaged [Commander Level Crystal Ancient Battle Armor].

In the Crystal Ancient Tribe, Level Fifteen is generally enough to serve as a commander, and Level Seventeen would be a chief, eligible to attend the Supreme Council as an observer. Only those who have seats at the Supreme Council are the true leaders of the Crystal Ancient Tribe.

The Commander Level Battle Armor at Level Fifteen, though not considered top-tier among the Crystal Ancient Tribe, is still quite decent.

However, this armor had been severely damaged by the Azure Flame Holy Fire and was probably difficult to repair, so it was simply handed to Jing Feifei to dismantle for potential useful parts, while the rest could be reverse smelted for materials.

When it comes to allocating the spoils, Wang Shouzhe is already a skilled worker, quickly completing a series of allocations.

This made even Taoist Master Taichu a bit envious.

The Wang family truly has overwhelming clan prosperity, casually reaping hundreds of Chaos Spirit Stones in this harvest. Moreover, going out to explore was as smooth as picking up things on the road.

Five years, just five years...

He had thought when they first set out that this journey wouldn’t finish in less than twenty or thirty years.

This was even after considering Wang Anye’s luck, estimating a shorter duration.

Without Wang Anye’s incredible luck, searching for things in the Void Sea like finding a needle in a haystack could take hundreds of years.

Ultimately, Wang Shouzhe did not forget the slightly sour Taoist Master Taichu and personally presented ten Chaos Spirit Stones: ”Elder Hongzhen, this trip must have been tiring for you, here’s your hardship compensation.”

Giving out ten Chaos Spirit Stones in one go?

Taoist Master Taichu’s eyes widened.

This time he merely served as a guardian, incidentally hastened the process using his speed. Without him, the Wang family would have still acquired these treasures, albeit with more time and effort.

He confidently felt that his efforts did not warrant the value of ten Chaos Spirit Stones!

Even though his skin was quite thick, he felt a bit embarrassed accepting them.

Moreover, during these years with the Wang family, he had been freeloading more comfortably than in the Dao Palace.

”Please accept them, elder,” Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, ”Without your assistance, this trip wouldn’t have been so smooth. Besides, Lingzhu will soon reach the True Immortal Realm, and her future consumption will only grow...”

Taoist Master Taichu instinctively nodded in agreement: ”That’s true... once she reaches Sacred Supreme level... wait!”

He suddenly realized something was off, looking at Wang Shouzhe with wide eyes: ”Isn’t Lingzhu your Wang family’s daughter-in-law? Why should this Taoist Master subsidize her?”

”Well, as you say, isn’t it normal for a master to provide cultivation resources to their disciple?” Wang Shouzhe laughed, ”Our Wang family has its rules, Lingzhu, as a direct line daughter-in-law, naturally has a share of resources, but she’ll ultimately serve as Taoist Master Taichu, it wouldn’t be right for our Wang family to fully fund the Taoist Master, would it?”

”Of course, if both elder and the Dao Palace have no objections, our Wang family is willing to fully fund Lingzhu’s training.”

”No way!” Taoist Master Taichu hurriedly shook his head, ”If your Wang family fully funds the Taoist Master, then what would the future Primordial Taoist Palace carry – surname Gong or surname Wang? Your Wang family will contribute a portion, the Ying Clan will also contribute, additionally, the Dao Palace will naturally provide corresponding resources, plus this Taoist Master’s subsidy, resources will be quite ample.”

Currently, after Ying Lingzhu underwent the Marrow Washing Pool, her bloodline talent significantly increased, now reaching Void Realm Taozi Level!

Once she reaches the True Immortal Realm and inherits the Dao Book, her bloodline will surge even further.

With such talent, she’s absolutely rare among the historical Taoist Masters of Tai Chu, naturally prompting Taoist Master Taichu to entertain some unusual thoughts, hoping his disciple Ying Lingzhu could enter the mid-stage of Hunyuan Realm, even with a glimmer of hope in the advanced stage.

However, aiming for the advanced stage of the Hunyuan Realm, the cultivation plan naturally differed from his original.

Upon reaching the Hunyuan Realm, cultivation speed will notably decrease; attempting the mid-late stage requires extreme speed, as fast as possible.

The faster the cultivation to True Immortal, the faster to Sacred Supreme, the more time available for tackling subsequent challenges.

Yet, this means consuming resources won’t be as simple as nurturing a regular Taoist Master.

Especially upon reaching the Hunyuan Realm, the consumption will become terrifying.

Elder Hongzhen’s annual consumption is about three Immortal Spirit Stones, while Ying Lingzhu, seeking to progress in Hunyuan Realm mid-late stage, could consume thirty, even fifty Immortal Spirit Stones annually.

Moreover, such consumption isn’t for one or two years but needs to continue for tens of thousands of years!

If the Dao Palace solely bears this resource, it might affect the cultivation of others within the Dao Palace, naturally not a good strategy. Thus, Taoist Master Taichu had long planned for four families to jointly fund it.
