Chapter 218: Chapter 17: Triple Bloodline and Major Enhancement of Family Heritage (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_3
After a brief exchange of pleasantries.
Wang Shouzhe confirmed that the redemption price for the Turtle Scale Treasure Shield was thirty-two thousand Qian Gold. This price was quite fair, evidently Zhong Xingwang had put in some effort.
And the high-level Breath Concealment Pendant, each priced at eleven thousand.
The price can be considered very expensive, but to keep some trump cards for the family, the money has to be spent. After all, this high-level Breath Concealment Pendant can mask and hide the powerful aura of a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator.
Moreover, high-level Breath Concealment Pendants are not particularly common treasures. Zhong Xingwang managed to find a way and connections to acquire them, which already took considerable effort.
In this way, Wang Shouzhe spent sixty-five thousand Qian Gold again, including an extra three thousand Qian Gold, which was used as a reward for Zhong Xingwang’s hard work.
Thus, Wang Family’s funds became a bit tight. Luckily, there are many sources of income nowadays, so there’s no fear of lacking cash flow.
Besides, Qian Gold if not converted into strength, what use is even more money?
Although this round, Wang Shouzhe spent a lot of money, it was all used to enhance the family’s strength and foundation.
Regarding that three thousand reward, even though Zhong Xingwang repeatedly declined.
However, Wang Shouzhe does things straightforwardly, he will never waste relationships for nothing.
After some entanglement, Zhong Xingwang reluctantly accepted the Qian Gold, and with great emotion said, "Younger Brother Shouzhe, among all the patriarchs I’ve met, you are the most meticulous in your work. Wang Family’s prosperity today is definitely inseparable from your relationship."
"Brother Zhong overrates me, overrates me!" Wang Shouzhe said modestly.
"By the way, uh... how has the senior sister been lately? I haven’t had the chance to pay her my respects and greetings for quite some time," Zhong Xingwang, who is generally well-intentioned, can’t seem to avoid mentioning Ancestor Longyan even after few serious words.
"Ahem," Wang Shouzhe coughed twice, solemnly reminded again, "Brother Zhong, I really need to remind you something. Ancestor Longyan in my family is set on the Path of Celestial Human, perhaps..."
"I understand, I understand. I only have admiration for Senior Sister Longyan, definitely no inappropriate thoughts. It’s only natural for Senior Sister to walk her Path of Celestial Human, I just need to quietly support her from behind," Zhong Xingwang nodded repeatedly in agreement and then changed the topic, saying, "Alright, I’m rather tired from this journey, so I’ll rest now, there’s no need for additional hospitality, Younger Brother Shouzhe."
Afterward, Zhong Xingwang headed familiarly straight to his guest courtyard.
There’s no alternative, he comes to stay for a while every year, so the courtyard has to be kept for him. Fortunately, when Ancestor Zhou Xuan built the main residence back then, he fully considered the subsequent burgeoning population, constructing many courtyards.
Otherwise, it would really not withstand all the people coming over to mooch food, drink, and lodging.
After taking the Turtle Scale Treasure Shield.
Wang Shouzhe immediately went to Longyan Residence, planning to give the ancestor a surprise.
Just happened to encounter Ancestor Xuanfu also visiting Longyan Residence, the two ancestors were drinking Spirit Tea in the courtyard and seemed to be chatting.
This was not surprising.
After Ancestor Xuanfu settled in Wang Family, she would pay visits to Ancestor Longyan every few days.
"Shouzhe, it’s just right that you’re here, I was just talking to my cousin about you," Ancestor Xuanfu seemed in a good mood, "Sit down and join us in conversation."
Although Wang Shouzhe had reached the Spirit Platform Realm now, these two were both ancestor-level, naturally adhering to hierarchy and propriety, he promptly cupped his hands and replied, "As the ancestors wished, I dare not refuse."
Subsequently, Wang Shouzhe sat down aside, helped the two ancestors add Spirit Tea, displaying a silent demeanor.
"Shouzhe, both my cousin Longyan and I are of the same mind," Ancestor Xuanfu said, "After the New Year, take Ruolan and join me on a trip to the Academy. First, as you have just advanced to the Spirit Platform Realm, you need to acquire the remaining Spirit Platform Chapter’s cultivation technique from the Academy. Secondly... Cousin Longyan hopes to have you pay a visit to Binglan Ascendant."
Academy, Binglan Ascendant? Wang Shouzhe slightly furrowed his brows.
"Of course, the most important thing on this trip is your Wang Family must find a way to make friends with the Academy’s high-levels," Ancestor Xuanfu said, "No matter what, Purple Mansion Academy is the Black Tortoise Sacred Land of our Longzuo County. In a way, the Academy influences at least half of Longzuo County."
Wang Shouzhe thought secretly, Ancestor Xuanfu’s words do make sense.
In the entire Longzuo County, Purple Mansion Academy’s influence is indeed immense.
And by the looks of the two ancestors, they want him, Wang Shouzhe, to go and curry favor with Binglan Ascendant.
But why do the two ancestors believe that Binglan Ascendant would let him curry favor?
Wang Shouzhe fell into contemplation, evidently the complexity of that matter in the past exceeded his imagination.
