Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 409: Chapter 95 Turn the tables! Huangfu Clan (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)_2

“This…” Wang Shouzhe took the sword-shaped jade charm, feeling somewhat disappointed.

But upon reflection, it made sense. Master Xuanyao isn’t his father, so why would he give him a Purple Abode sword charm?

Even if it were his father, during his prime years, he also wouldn’t degrade his own cultivation base to forge such a transient item like a Purple Abode sword charm.

“This item isn’t bad, if used well, it could be a hidden trump card.” Wang Shouzhe said, “I saw similar jade charms being auctioned at the Duobao Pavilion Auction. One of them also sold for several tens of thousands of Qian Gold. It seems these gifts over the years have not been sent in vain.”

“I didn’t manage to meet the master of the Heavenly Lake, and she was unwilling to see me as well. However, afterwards, she sent me a Water Spirit shield charm through her disciple,” Yu An took out a pale blue water spirit charm as he spoke, “Once this Water Spirit shield charm is crushed, it can form a Water Spirit shield, which could withstand one or two attacks from a Tianren Cultivator. It could be handy during critical moments.”

“The more life-saving items, the better.” Wang Shouzhe also knew that this was already a valuable item. It seemed that writing letters to her every year did have some effect.

“Lady Huandie did agree to see me and gave me an Illusion Jade Charm. Naturally, it can cast an illusion. If the opponent’s will and God Sense are not particularly strong, they will fall into the illusion, and if they cannot break free, they may very well die within the dream.” Yu An said, “However, although this item is powerful, it also has a significant drawback. Because every cultivator who can advance to the Tiaren realm has strong will and God Sense.”

“It could also be considered a trump card.” Wang Shouzhe is fond of this Illusion Jade Charm. It’s indeed difficult to use it against a Tianren realm cultivator, but it has the potential to catch them off guard and be surprisingly effective when used appropriately.

The more trump cards one possesses, the better. Even if he didn’t need it personally, he could place it in the family treasure vault as a hidden asset.

“As for the vice-principal, he had already taken his disciples to tour far and wide, I failed to meet him.” Even now, when Yu An thought about the tasks entrusted to him by Wang Shouzhe, he felt somewhat embarrassed. As the Heavenly Proud-Level disciple of the Mysterious Ice Palace, visiting Masters and openly asking for gifts was indeed quite humiliating.

Had it not been for his close relations with Shouzhe, he would have found it difficult to set his pride aside.

However, on the flip side, he was surprised by the number of items he had managed to collect. The combined value of the three jade charms was worth several tens of thousands of Qian Golds.

After playing with the three jade charms for a while, Wang Shouzhe put them into his storage ring and then asked, “Yu An, what about the ‘Six-Pole Sun Flame Pearl’ I asked you to purchase?”

When it came to this item, a trace of heartache crossed Yu An’s face: “‘Six-Pole Sun Flame Pearl’ could effectively counter the cultivators of Yinsha Sect. However, if we use academic points to exchange for Qian Golds, it would amount to approximately two hundred thousand Qian Golds. The price of this one-time consumption item is almost catching up with a magical treasure. I did not have enough academic points, so I had asked several junior brothers to pool in, to exchange for it.”

As he spoke, Yu An took out the “Six-Pole Sun Flame Pearl” and handed it to Wang Shouzhe.

The pearl was about the size of a fist, entirely crimson as if it was on fire. Even though its power had been sealed inside, one could still sense the colossal and pure fire energy contained within.

“I will give you two hundred and fifty thousand Qian Gold for this.”

Wang Shouzhe took the Six-Pole Sun Flame Pearl, and then directly handed over a stack of gold notes to Yu An. Among these notes, two were made of purple paper.

This type of purple gold note is made from a spirit wood known as Purple-Blooded Dragon Spirit Wood that has been specially processed into paper. Its durability is extremely high; it is both fireproof and waterproof, and can be preserved for thousands of years without decay.

Therefore, the state-owned bank of Da Qian uses it as a form of large denomination gold notes, with each note being exchangeable for one hundred thousand Qian Gold!

Even mediocre Rank 9 prominent families might not get their hands on such a purple gold note in their lifetime.

“This…”

Even Yu An, a Sky Pride from a well-off family, was taken aback by Wang Shouzhe’s generosity. In the Academic Palace, Qian gold can be exchanged with other students for study points.

This means that this time when he bought the Six-Pole Sun Flame Pearl on behalf of Shouzhe, he made a profit of fifty thousand Qian gold.

His heartache at having expended all his academic points vanished in a flash, and he looked at Wang Shouzhe with a somewhat fervent gaze, “Shouzhe, whenever you need to exchange anything in the Academic Palace in the future, just mention it.”

As a Sky Pride desperately seeking to break through to the Purple Abode Realm, even with the supplementary resources from his family and the resources he earned himself by taking on tasks, he was still in want of resources.

“Shouzhe, isn’t it too lavish of you to use this to smash someone?” Even Green Fern, a rich senior sister was taken aback, “Even if the opponent is a high-rank Tianren realm cultivator, Yu An and I can handle it.”

“Under normal circumstances, using this treasure to hit someone is indeed a bit extravagant.” Wang Shouzhe put away the Six-Pole Sun Flame Pearl and casually said, “However, if someone else is willing to buy it and use it against someone, it wouldn’t be considered extravagant.”

“Someone else is willing to buy it and smash someone with it?” Green Fern looked surprised, “Is there really such a fool in this world?”

“Senior Sister doesn’t know something.” Wang Shouzhe smiled and said, “As the saying goes ‘a man is not himself when he is in a situation’. If someone is willing to use this to launch an attack, it must be for some grand scheme. We should just sit back and watch the show.”

…

Several days later.

In the Plum Breaking Garden, Huangfu Jinghuan and Lady Ji met once again.

As he looked at the Six-Pole Sun Flame Pearl in Lady Ji’s hand, uncertainty flashed in his eyes – he felt a bit heartache, yet it was as if he was also anticipating something.
