Chapter 1234: Chapter 7: Unparalleled Heavenly Child! How many are there in the Wang family? _4 Chapter 1234: Chapter 7: Unparalleled Heavenly Child! How many are there in the Wang family? _4 “Ancestor Master, you’re oversimplifying things,” Wang Luoqiu said, her face a picture of incredulity.

What’s Zhen Shicong?

Other people might not know the situation, but she was well aware. Not to mention anyone else, but just within the Wang family alone, there were already three contenders for the title of Saint.

Li Yao and Yuxuan aside, it seemed like Lici was also going to participate in the competition for Saint. She had apparently been doing quite well for herself these past years, each letter home filled with her boasting.

These days, without the bloodline talent of an Unparalleled Heavenly Child, who would join the competition for Saint?

She thought about it and her eyes suddenly brightened as she turned to Enlightened Master Mingcheng, eager and hopeful, “Actually, I might participate. If Master and Ancestor Master can gather enough resources to support my advancement to the status of an Unparalleled Heavenly Child, I’m confident I can secure the Saintess position.”

“Unparalleled Heavenly Child?” Enlightened Master Mingcheng’s face darkened. “You make it sound easy. Do you think it’s like cabbages growing in the field—just raise a level whenever you say? Even if you sold me, your Ancestor Master, it wouldn’t be enough to gather the resources needed for you to become an Unparalleled Heavenly Child.”

With Luoqiu’s talent, even an Eighth-grade Immortal Pill would probably only raise her talent to the level of a Great Heavenly Proud Grade A. To reach the Unparalleled level, she would need a Rank 9 Dao Pill. That would require at least ten billion in resources!

Not to mention the enormous costs of cultivation resources that would come with the soaring speed of cultivation after becoming an Unparalleled Heavenly Child.

Emptying the entire lineage of the Glass Bright King’s Hall still wouldn’t support that.

This girl sure dared to say anything!

Wang Luoqiu sighed, “Then, forget it. I’ll just focus on learning our lineage’s True Methods first and then slowly look for other opportunities.”

“This… Luoqiu, won’t you reconsider?” bit his lip and said with a pained expression, “If you don’t feel confident, I could gather some resources and get you an Eighth-grade Immortal Pill that can improve your talent.”

“I…” Wang Luoqiu really wanted to agree, to boost her talent and then talk, but facing her Master and Ancestor Master, she didn’t have the heart to commit such an act of betrayal. She quickly changed the subject, “By the way, before I went into seclusion, I heard that my fourth brother was coming. He should be arriving soon, so I’ll go get his opinion first.”

With that, she hurriedly paid her respects and dashed out.

If she stayed any longer, she feared she wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation of the Eighth-grade Immortal Pill.

…

At the same time.

In the skies above Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty’s Western Juyang Ocean.

The enormous Cloudray Flying Boat was like a real cloudray, flapping its bat-like wings and gliding through the clouds.

Next to the large and sturdy glass windows crafted by the Wang family, there were placed some delicate tables, chairs, and ornaments. The comfortable recliners made it possible to enjoy the white clouds, the blue sky, and the magnificent expanse of the Western Juyang Ocean.

According to Jiang Xingyuan’s ideal scenario, in such a poetic and stylish setting, everyone would dine leisurely together, discussing the grandeur of the world and passionate ideals, while basking in the admiring gazes of two naive Immortal ladies followed by some laughs…

However…

Because the waiters couldn’t clear up in time, the table was piled high with bone plates like mountains. The delicate delicacies that should have been tasted in small bites were scorned for being too little, calling for them to be served on large platters instead.

Eventually, the chef troop of the Cloudray Flying Boat was summoned to the dining area to cook on-site; Level Seven dragon livers, Level Eight phoenix gallbladders, Level Nine Spirit Fruits, gutted and piled high.

Jiang Xingyuan wiped sweat off his forehead, maintaining his composure and politeness, but inside he felt as though ten thousand Level Five wild oxen were stampeding through his heart. Then, cautiously, he transmitted his voice to Gong Yang Ce, “Brother, how much Immortal Crystal do you have left?”

“This…” Gong Yang Ce said, looking sweaty, “I’ve spent quite a bit over the many years I’ve traveled, I’ve barely ten thousand Immortal Crystals left.”

“We’re doomed, we’re doomed. I had to leave in a hurry this time; I only brought over a hundred thousand Immortal Crystals with me,” Jiang Xingyuan lamented as he transmitted, “And I just saw the price list; the food on the flying boat is several times more expensive than in the city. The Yao family really knows how to gouge.”

Hours later.

Yao Chengchao, having heard the news and rushed over, smiled at Jiang Xingyuan and Gong Yang Ce, “Oh, isn’t this Young Master Ce? Getting exiled by Wang Shouzhe only to return to the Sacred Land, and already losing face? Inviting for a meal without money?”

In an instant, Gong Yang Ce’s face flushed with heat, and he replied weakly, “It’s not that I didn’t bring any, just that I brought too little. I’ll repay you after I get back to the Sacred Land.”

“Huh? You know my Fourth Uncle?” The moment Wang Licui heard the familiar name, her eyes lit up.

“What’s your name?” Yao Chengchao asked with some suspicion, “Your Fourth Uncle wouldn’t be…”

“My name is Wang Licui, and my fourth uncle is Wang Shouzhe,” Wang Licui said boldly, “I haven’t seen him in a long time, but once I get the Saintess title of Lingyun Holy Ground, I’m definitely going to blind him with my brilliance.”

“What!?”

Both Yao Chengchao and Gong Yang Ce were shocked as they looked at Wang Licui.
