Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 222: Chapter 19: Invincible Talent! The True Power of ShouZhe’s Threefold Bloodline_2

Obviously, our ancestor still didn’t care for him.

Were it not for past feelings, Grand Ancestor Longyan would have surely driven him away by now. The Grand Ancestor is very protective of the family’s food supply and detests those unrelated people who freeload.

So, Wang Shouzhe had nothing more to say and, along with the younger generation, withdrew.

The visit to the Purple Abode Academic Palace was only scheduled for the beginning of the new year, so there was no rush to plan.

Moreover, Wang Shouzhe truly needed to make a trip to the Purple Abode Academic Palace as it wasn’t just related to the follow-up problems of the Cultivation Technique in the Spirit Platform chapter of the Longevity Youth True Verses.

The Spirit Platform chapter’s techniques weren’t urgent as they’ve just entered the Spirit Platform Realm. The focus was on stabilizing their realm. They do not plan to rush into Level Two or Level Three.

The main goal is to try to find a map at the Purple Abode Academic Palace.

That’s because the couple Wang Shouzhe, during the trial in that location, had cleared the fourth stage and had been ordered by the Artifact Spirit to report for training at the Divine Martial Army Headquarters of the Divine Martial Dynasty as soon as possible.

But where is the Divine Martial Army Headquarters?

Obviously, the couple had no idea.

The Artifact Spirit did provide a map, but the map was a hundred thousand years old.

A hundred thousand years old!

It’s enough to have turned the sea into a mulberry field, mountains collapsed and uplifted, rivers changed their course, and the terrain changed beyond comprehension.

Only a ghost would be able to find the location of the Divine Martial Army Headquarters from this map.

Therefore, they had to place their hopes on the Purple Abode Academic Palace, after all, according to Grand Ancestor Xuanfu, the Purple Abode Academic Palace has extensively researched the Divine Martial Dynasty, often excavating its relics.

Perhaps they would have information and location about the headquarters of the Divine Martial Army of the Divine Martial Dynasty.

Afterwards, Wang Shouzhe focused most of his attention on developing his own bloodline talent.

During this time, it was the maturity period of the Red Crystal Rice.

With the end of October approached, and the weather outside was colder, Wang Shouzhe decided to live in a small house built by people in the cave of Fire Spirit Vein.

Not long after, his wife, Liu Ruolan, who was uncomfortable being single, followed.

The couple built a quiet, simple life here, completely forgetting about their two mischievous children.

Red Crystal Rice matures once a year.

On this middle-grade Fire Spirit Vein, the family has continuously developed 20 acres of middle-grade Fire Elemental Spiritual Fields over the years.

After years of experimentation and learning, the family has gradually mastered the cultivation technique of Red Crystal Rice.

Now, after intensive cultivation and care, the yield per acre has reached 300 catties, and the total production has reached 6,000 catties. With the average price of Red Crystal Rice being around 80 Copper Coins per catty, this equals 4800 Qian Gold.

According to Daqian Law, one acre of middle-grade spirit field needs to pay a tax of 20 Qian Gold per year, amounting to a total tax of 400 Qian Gold.

Even if you deduct the costs of spirit seeds, spirit fertilizers, labor, expenses for the formation spirit stone, etc., the annual net profit still exceeds 3000 Qian Gold.

Although Wang Shouzhe seems to spend huge sums of money at every turn, tens of thousands, or even using up to hundreds of thousands of funds.

However, all such expenses are used to accumulate a strong foundation for the family.

Glass, cement, and paper, seem to bring substantial profits to the family every year. But these things might be reproduced by other families someday, and then the family might lose this source of revenue.

But why is the spirit vein and spirit field considered the real pillar and foundation of a family? That’s because no matter when, the value of spirit rice produced is always guaranteed, and there is always a demand for products like Red Crystal Rice, which the market cannot satisfy, and thus there is no worry about sales.

More than 3000 Qian Gold a year adds up to more than 30 thousand in a hundred years and more than 300 thousand in a thousand years.

Many stronger families that exist for hundreds or even thousands of years, especially in Longzuo County, are prominent families.

After years of accumulation, can you imagine how terrifying the sum would be?

That’s why Wang Shouzhe, while developing various side businesses, is fundamentally supporting the main business, energizing it.

Only such structural underpinning ensures the long-term prosperity of a family.

What’s more, there is still a lot of room for development in this mid-tier fire spirit vein, which is expected to eventually develop into 30 acres of mid-tier fire spirit fields with even more impressive future returns.

Nevertheless, this powerful common-family resource is still not sufficient for Wang Shouzhe.

After all, many powerful families continually improve their spirit seed over the years, boosting yield and quality of rice. Even an extra 50 Qian Gold per acre per year leads to an extra annual income of 1500 Qian Gold for 30 acres.

Over the years, this becomes a significant number.

However, those powerful families didn’t improve their spirit seed overnight. It’s achieved through decades, centuries or even longer gradual enhancements.

They don’t sell these improved spirit seeds and keep them securely hidden, fearing that the seeds might leak.

The spirit rice they sell is usually dehulled or further processed in other ways to ensure those who get it can’t plant it themselves.

In the past eight years, Wang Shouzhe has mostly focused on improving common rice and wheat seeds. Now the outer farms of the Wang family no longer plant common grains. They all plant the high-quality grains, Wang’s No.9 Rice Variety and Wang’s No.7 Wheat Variety.

Wang’s No.9 and No.7 grain varieties can’t be reproduced, but their yield per acre and resistance to diseases are far superior to those of normal crops.

Therefore, even if the growers purchased grain seeds at a high price, the final profit would still be two to three times higher than usual.
