Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 537: Chapter 31 Prosperity! Increasing number of clan members_2

At least his younger siblings and clan members no longer had to scrimp and save every little bit of Spirit Food and cultivation elixir, which would hinder their early development and future potential.

Of course, this was just the beginning of the construction in Ping’an Town.

For example, in Wang Shouzhe’s perception, asphalt roads would be better. Flexible types of roads were easier to maintain and repair, whereas it was a hassle to maintain concrete roads once they were damaged.

However, up to now, he still hadn’t found a natural asphalt mine or petroleum, making it impossible to refine asphalt, thus he had put the idea aside for now.

As he contemplated, the carriage slowly passed over the bridges crossing several rivers.

The reason that the original rivers were so winding was due to the banks being eroded and collapsing, causing the river to cut deeper and deeper channels. Moreover, as the water flowed around bends, it would exert pressure on the opposite bank, causing the river’s course to slowly become more and more winding, like an earthworm.

… This type of shape was actually detrimental to the overall plan and could easily lead to adverse effects like the river changing its course, and it also slowed down transportation by boat.

Therefore, the Wang Family, in the recent years, not only dredged the river, but also continuously built concrete revetments to reinforce the river embankments. Especially the newly opened rivers – they were straight-lined, and the banks were as solid as a rock, making them easy to control and maintain in the long term.

This just goes to show the amount of time, effort, and money the Wang Family had invested into the management of Ping’an Town.

Wang Shouzhe had always regarded Ping’an Town as his territory and planned to make it a solid foundation for thousands of years to come.

Back on Earth, a person would strive all their life, earn a lot of money, and at most, that person could hope to live to around eighty or ninety years old, rarely reaching a hundred.

Yet in this Profound Martial world, the lifespan of humans was much longer.

Take Wang Shouzhe for example. With his current attainment in the Spirit Platform Realm, he already had a lifespan of two hundred years. Looking to his future, it was a sure thing that he would reach the Heavenly Human Realm, and the Purple Abode was also within his reach. With that, he would be able to live for four hundred, even up to eight hundred years!

Hence, creating a long-lasting home for himself became increasingly important.

…

The carriage slowly passed through the commercial area on the side of Zhuwei Manor, then turned right by Zhuwei Lake, going straight down the main road beside the lake towards the Wang Family’s main residence. Here, security became stricter.

First one would have to pass through the checkpoint, and without an invitation or approved visit from the Wang Family, one could not pass through. Even if someone managed to sneak past the checkpoint, there would be patrols of Wang Family soldiers questioning and examining everyone along the road.

Of course, this level of patrol was only to guard against those below the Spiritual Platform realm. If a cultivator at the Spiritual Platform Realm truly had ill intentions, there were plenty of methods to infiltrate the vicinity of the Wang main residence.

However, if they invaded the Wang’s main residence without permission, that Spiritual Platform Realm cultivator wouldn’t end up well. After all, unless there was something special going on, either Longyan or Liu Ruolan would be guarding the house.

Not to mention a Spiritual Platform Realm cultivator, even a Heavenly Human Realm cultivator who intrudes with malicious intent would definitely not end well.

…

On the plaza outside the Wang main residence.

A white horse was approaching from a distance. Its rider was a handsome young man in smart clothes with a riding bow and a sword at his waist. A bird reminiscent of a hawk circled in the sky following him.

When he reached the entrance of the main residence, the young knight dismounted and let out a whistle. The hawk-like bird hovering in the sky swiftly descended, landing swiftly on the young man’s arm.

“Young Master Six, you’re back,” a soldier on duty at the gate immediately greeted him. After instructing the clan soldiers to take care of the horse, he said with a chuckle, “I heard that you took advantage of the clan school’s vacation to visit the Lu Clan of Yingxiu and also had a stint in Donghaei. Did you gain anything?”

This young man was quite handsome and extraordinary. However, due to his young age, there was still a bit of childlike innocence on his face. This lad was Wang Zongcai, the sixth youngest of the eighth generation of the Wang family. He was the eldest son of the fourth of the Shou generation, Wang Shounuo.

Although only fifteen years old, his cultivation was rather noteworthy, having already reached the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Realm. And due to the strict discipline of the Wang Family, he made great efforts in refining his martial arts, movement techniques, and other skills.

“Brother Wang Yang, so you’re on duty today.” Wang Zongcai, unable to maintain an air of arrogance, greeted back with courtesy. Wang Yang, a few years older than him, was a peripheral member of the Wang Family.

Although the peripheral members of the Wang Family have diluted Profound Martial bloodlines, they still produce talented individuals at a much higher rate compared to common civilians. Moreover, as the Wang Family flourished, even the peripheral members started enjoying improved treatment.

In the past, those peripheral members who did not quite reach the “Grade D inferior” bloodline talent could take a Third Grade Enlightenment Pill from the mainline Wang Family to change their former “high segment junk qualification” and improve their talent to Grade D inferiors or Class C inferiors.

By doing so, they would have the qualifications to become a Profound Martial cultivator and change their fate.

Earlier, the Wang Family tasked the old Pill Master of the Xu Family Danfang faction in Changning with refining the Enlightenment Pill. Now that Wang Shouye has become a mature Alchemist, he has assumed the responsibility of refining Enlightenment Pills for the family.

The main ingredient for the Enlightenment Pill was the “Purple Crystal Queen Bee Honey”, and Wang Luo Jing was skilled in raising the Purple Crystal Spirit Bees. Currently, the bees she mainly raises have already reached Level Three overall.

Furthermore, aided by the high-quality Spirit Flowers from the Purple Abode Academy, the annual output of Purple Crystal Queen Bee Honey is not low. All the honey produced is contributed to the family for its use in creating the Enlightenment Pills.
