Protect Our Clan Leader

…

“Great grandfather guessed correctly.” Wang Anye said happily, “Old Ancestor Chenlun mentioned that when he traveled the Sacred Domain with the Saint Emperor, he was lucky enough to have seen a Primordial Crystal. Therefore, he is certain that this treasure is indeed a Primordial Crystal.”

Alright~

Wang Shouzhe was speechless for a moment.

The treasures that Old Ancestor Chenlun and the Saint Emperor couldn’t find in his previous life were instead discovered by Anye first.

This object is extraordinary, almost considered the pinnacle of “Spirit Stones” within the known realm, perhaps even Daoist Masters, and Divine Emperors would covet it eagerly.

For those at the level of a Daoist Master or Divine Emperor, it’s officially termed as the “Hunyuan Realm” according to the Eastern Dawn God Continent cultivation system.

Powerhouses who can reach this level of cultivation are all experts in a certain Dao.

The reason it’s named with the term “Hunyuan” is because the energy it contains is extremely pure and highly concentrated.

If one could cultivate using the Primordial Crystal, while it might not lead to daily exponential growth, it certainly exceeds cultivation with Chaos Spirit Stones, making further breakthroughs more achievable. Thus, if one were to exchange a Primordial Crystal for Chaos Spirit Stones, the exchange rate could essentially reach one to one hundred.

Of course, purely in terms of energy content, such an extravagant rate is quite exaggerated. However, the energy level contained within the Primordial Crystal is so high, it almost reaches the most pure and concentrated energy level when the universe first opened~

Such expense is indeed reasonable.

In terms of sheer value, when Wang Anye picked up this Primordial Crystal, it equates to effectively picking up two “Green Xiaoyi”, illustrating its staggering value.

“Wasn’t I worried that our family might not have enough resources to build the hyperspace teleportation formation?” Wang Anye said, “With this Primordial Crystal, it’s almost enough to construct the hyperspace teleportation formation.”

“The Demonic Clan has already helped to solve more than half of the funding for the hyperspace teleportation, so you don’t need to worry too much.” Wang Shouzhe put away the Primordial Crystal, planning to later ask Little Snow to transfer contribution points to Wang Anye’s account, “Your return is timely. Stay at home and cultivate well during this time, and accompany your wives. When the formation master recommended by the Sacred Supreme Water Moon arrives, stay by his side to oversee the construction and seize the opportunity to learn more about formation knowledge.”

“Great grandfather, I understand.” Wang Anye responded solemnly, “Oh, and I also brought back some accompanying Chaos Spirit Stones, Chaos Essence, Chaos Origin, and Immortal Spirit Stones discovered while mining Chaos Crystals.”

As he spoke, he took out a batch of resources, including 26 Chaos Spirit Stones, a big jar and 61 small bottles amounting to 161 bottles of Chaos Essence, 75 strands of Chaos Origin, and 1481 Immortal Spirit Stones, with a total value of about seven to eighty Chaos Spirit Stones.

“…”

Wang Shouzhe was speechless again, looking at Wang Anye with an inexplicably complex gaze.

“Great grandfather, don’t be shocked.” Seeing Wang Shouzhe’s speechlessness, Wang Anye explained, “That area of Shattered Stars Beach was once a treasure land occupied by the Immortal Alliance, later taken by the Crystal Ancient Tribe to build a research base. After warfare caused the treasure land to explode, it revealed the Spirit Vein deposits.”

“We were lucky this time and collected quite an amount of resources, but I’ve already brought back the bulk. The remaining will have to rely on puppets and equipment for slow extraction.”

Wang Shouzhe calmly settled down.

Such things might seem incredible for others, but in the case of Anye, it was rather expected~

The great-grandfather and great-grandson duo continued their conversation.

At this moment, Wang Zong’an, who had always been stationed at the family, came to pay respects to Shouzhe.

“Zong’an greets father.” Wang Zong’an courteously saluted.

“Anye greets grandfather.” Wang Anye also hurriedly rose to greet.

After mutual salutes, Wang Zong’an stated his purpose: “Father, I come today to report the development and financial situation of the Wang family during your absence over these years.”

Saying this, he handed over a thick stack of materials extracted from his Storage Ring.

When Wang Shouzhe was on an expedition outside the domain, he entrusted the family completely to Zong’an’s management, so naturally, he wanted to provide an account to his father.

Originally, he planned to come when his father just returned home, but then his father immediately started planning the siege of the Nine Hells Demon God, unable to spare a thought, so it was delayed until now.

“You’ve worked hard all these years.”

Wang Shouzhe flipped through the materials, following the directory summary.

The first part mainly covered the development and income-expenditure situation of each of the family’s industries.

During the nearly fifty years of Zong’an’s management, various family industries have developed steadily, with significant increases in both scale and profits.

Currently, the family’s various conventional industries generate a net profit of 26 Immortal Spirit Stones annually for the family, while expenditures have gradually risen to 14 Immortal Spirit Stones. Subtracting the two, the surplus amounts to 12 Immortal Spirit Stones.

This expenditure covers the support and subsidies for members on expeditions, and even if temporarily unavailable, the family will save it up and settle it when they return.

Over nearly fifty years, the family had a total income of 900 Immortal Spirit Stones from various industries, with an expenditure of 552, leaving a total surplus of 348 Immortal Spirit Stones, equivalent to about 3.5 Chaos Spirit Stones.

In contrast to the gains from the Realm of Ruin expedition, the Wang family’s conventional industrial income over these fifty years resulted in only a meager profit of 9 Chaos Spirit Stones, with surplus reserves only amounting to 3.5 Chaos Spirit Stones, which seemed somewhat shabby compared to the other.
