Chapter 1365 - 41: The Saint Land Belongs to the Wang Family Now (Part 2)

After finding several burial goods along the way, Wang Lici finally felt at ease. Could Miss Lici not deal with her Fourth Uncle, but couldn’t suppress others?

"Elder Yunyang." At this time, Wang Shouzhe respectfully saluted Master Yunyang, "Thank you for taking care of Lici over the years. If there’s nothing else, you may stay at our Wang’s for a short period to rest, allowing us to show our gratitude."

"Young Yunyang, I’ve also recently been staying often at the Wang Family." Celestial River Zhenren said with a smile, patting him on the shoulder, "Especially the Spirit Gathering Array at the Wang Family’s Main Residence is quite effective, imbued with traces of Immortal Spirit Qi, which is beneficial for longevity."

"In that case, then I’ll gratefully accept." Master Yunyang, known for his thick skin, especially never felt uncomfortable or restrained when staying in others’ homes.

He sighed and said, "I’ve been rushing around for so many years and indeed should take some rest. I remember I have a few disciples in the Yunyang Lineage that I haven’t taught for a while. They’ve also been working hard these years, sending money to the Immortal Dynasty Bank every decade."

Probably, if it weren’t for making them earn money to send, Master Yunyang might have forgotten those disciples far away in Jiuxiao.

"Good, good, we could even team up to take on some family tasks from the Wang Race and earn some extra money." Celestial River Zhenren laughed heartily; after all, both were the Dean and Vice-dean of Longzuo Purple Mansion Academy, making their relationship closer than others.

"Taking on tasks for the Wang Race?" Master Yunyang frowned, "Doesn’t that mean working for the Wang Race? After all, I am a Vice-dean of Longzuo Academy..."

"Yunyang, there’s nothing wrong with earning money, is there?" Celestial River Zhenren seriously critiqued, "Lici is only in the early stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, and she still has to walk on the path of Divine Techniques and Lingxu Dao in the future. Without saving enough money now, how will we support her later?"

"Dean, it’s not that I don’t want to earn money, it’s just that..." Master Yunyang said weakly.

"There’s nothing more to say. We’ll take the tasks and work together; things like Outer Domain surveying and extracting Upper Grade Spirit Veins... conservatively estimated to earn this amount in a year..." Celestial River Zhenren said mysteriously.

"That much?" Master Yunyang’s eyes nearly popped out, "Doing this for seventy or eighty years, can’t we save up for a Divine Power Spirit Treasure?"

"Not that exaggerated, although we can economize, we still have expenses, right? Plus, there’s not always a Spirit Vein to extract each year..." Celestial River Zhenren said with a chuckle, "But working for about a century should surely save up enough for one."

"Alright, alright." Master Yunyang responded joyfully, "I’ll write to my disciples right away, asking them to go to the Wang Race... where I can teach them while we work, and more hands can earn more money. Even mosquito legs are meat."

For a Divine Power Realm Cultivator, having a Divine Power Spirit Treasure is a turning point in combat power. Having a high-quality one can significantly enhance their battle prowess.

Unlike those wealthy Great Celestial Prides who could only use a fraction of the Spirit Treasure’s power in the Celestial Human Realm, a Divine Power Zhenren could fully utilize its power.

Of course, someone like Wang Shouzhe, an Unparalleled Celestial Pride, could also fully utilize it due to reaching the Seventh Major Achievement Saint Body Level.

Not far away, many Divine Power Realm Cultivators from the Lingyun Sacred Land turned their heads. They originally thought Celestial River Zhenren lowering himself to work for the Wang Race lacked dignity.

After all, he was a dignified Academy Dean and Divine Power Realm bigwig, working for a local noble family seemed beneath him.

Yet, they didn’t expect working for the Wang Race to be so lucrative... causing the cash-strapped leaders from various peaks and lineages to itch for it.

Judging by their "free-spending" flair during betting, the next bet was at least ten thousand Immortal Crystals, and some leaders even had to borrow, showing their cash reserves weren’t plenty.

This time, especially after exerting much to boost their disciples’ bloodline talent, many Elders became impoverished.

"Dear Elders." Wang Shouzhe graciously saluted, "If you have the leisure, you’re welcome to visit our Wang Race as guests. We’ll surely entertain you wholeheartedly."

"No problem." Mingcheng Zhenren was the first to reply, "When time permits, I’ll surely stay at the Wang Race for a while." He was originally poor, and after pooling funds and relocating support for Luqiu, he became even poorer, eagerly needing a financial recovery.

Moreover, Divine Power Spirit Treasures also greatly attracted him. Although he was allocated one by the Sacred Land, ownership wasn’t his for free trade.

Besides, having an additional Spirit Treasure also meant extra battle power, serving as a liquid asset for sale; why not?

"Master, didn’t you say you’d go to the Immortal Dynasty to find clues about the Treasure Manual for Luqiu?" Master Xuan Yao reminded.

"Right... then I’ll first make a trip to the Immortal Dynasty." Mingcheng Zhenren frowned, "However, Luqiu has many future expenses. Whether our Glazed Mingwang Hall can rise and compete against the Saint Master lineage fully depends on her."

"Xuan Yao, as Luqiu’s master, you have an unshirkable duty, learn more from Yunyang. Indeed, take this opportunity and organize some senior and junior brothers, along with disciples, to seize some slots. When I return, I’ll join you."

Master Xuan Yao’s cheek muscles twitched; the master’s drive to work seemed intense. But no wonder, everyone was broke lately; a hundred years to save for a Divine Power Spirit Treasure indeed was tempting.

Seeing Mingcheng Zhenren taking the initiative, Celestial Fire Zhenren also rushed forward: "Shouzhe, I’m also quite free lately and can stay at the Wang Race for a while."

"Welcome, Elder Celestial Fire." Wang Shouzhe warmly received him with a smile, as the Wang Race needed to extract and integrate spirit veins extensively, along with expanding the number of Spirit Fields. Retrieving ordinary spirit veins in the Purple Mansion Realm was challenging, and this task was most suitable for Divine Power Realm Cultivators.

"Master..." Zhen Shicong said tearfully and moved, "You are truly good to me, let me..."

"Step aside." Celestial Fire Zhenren glared at him, "I’ve decided to nurture a new talent."

"Master, I was wrong..."

With Celestial Fire Zhenren in action, some of the impoverished Divine Power Realm bigwigs became increasingly restless. Even Zixiao Zhenren, who had some discord with the Wang Race, seemed eager to give it a try.

Such scenes made Jiang Zhencang quite angry, grumbling in his heart. Shouzhe, the Saint Land isn’t even named Wang yet, and you’re already so eager to poach people?

Just as he was about to speak up to control the situation, Emperor Longchang next to him seemed displeased, saying, "Suddenly facing so many competitors, it’s not easy to earn money."

A mere Celestial River Zhenren he wouldn’t mind, but a group of Divine Power Realm teaming up could steal his business.

Longchang thrived in the Wang Race now, thanks to being the only master capable of handling Top-Grade Spiritual Veins.

But now, with this internal competition, isn’t Longchang’s position precarious?

"Longchang, you’re also working at the Wang Race?" Jiang Zhencang looked shocked, "You’re Emperor Lingxu?"

"Ling what Xu, what Great Emperor." Emperor Longchang, with his thick skin, nonchalantly said, "As a half-retired Great Emperor, I have nothing else to do. This is called utilizing my residual heat, and it’s good for health to keep active."

"Old Jiang, you’ve also worked hard all your life. I advise you to pass the Lingyun Treasure Manual to Liyao early. Join me at the Wang Race for retirement. Let me tell you, life at the Wang Race is much more interesting than in the Imperial Palace."
