Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2274: Chapter 266: Immortal Emperor and Demon Emperor Compete to Win Over Shou Zhe

…

Meanwhile, as Si Wuyou was engrossed in reading a novel, the grand banquet of the Wang family continued.

The main hall used for greeting guests by the Wang family had long been newly decorated by the clan’s head of household and the students who were invited to help. Various decorations with good meanings were hung all over the hall, giving it a festive look.

In the main hall.

Wang Shouzhe sat upright in the main seat, wearing a duke’s robe specially made by the Da Qian royal tailor, with a matching crown, continuously receiving wave after wave of congratulations from the guests.

If the visitor was from a Fourth or Fifth Grade Prominent Family, Wang Shouzhe could receive their congratulations with a relaxed demeanor, smiling and exchanging pleasantries.

But once the guest reached the level of a Third-Class Aristocratic Family, Wang Shouzhe had to rise and exchange greetings with them.

If the guest was from a Second Class, Wang Shouzhe would have to go to the main entrance hall to greet them personally and invite them inside.

If a First Grade family or a monarch came to congratulate in person, Wang Shouzhe had to greet them at the entrance of Wang Fu, personally inviting the entire group into the main hall courteously.

Of course, Wang Shouzhe was not alone in this endeavor. His wife, Liu Ruolan, wearing the attire of a First Grade titled lady, accompanied Wang Shouzhe to welcome and see off the guests.

Meanwhile, some of Wang Shouzhe’s brothers were also busy. From the eldest, Wang Shouxin, to the ninth, Wang Shoucheng, and their capable descendants, all followed behind Wang Shouzhe, assisting him in entertaining the guest groups.

The female guests were entertained by Liu Ruolan, along with sisters-in-law, daughters-in-law, granddaughters-in-law, great-granddaughters-in-law, and other female members of the Wang family.

On this day, even Liu Ruolan was quite attentive, showcasing the grace of the Wang family’s matron as she greeted and bade farewell to guests, further adding prestige to the Wang family’s reputation.

On the side guest seat, Emperor Zi’an, the mastermind behind the scene, was secretly watching Wang Shouzhe’s embarrassment.

Seeing Shouzhe busy like a puppet, with a smile almost frozen stiff on his face, entirely lacking his usual elegant and carefree outward demeanor, he couldn’t help but feel thrilled.

Ah, Shouzhe, by appearing aloof and noble, I just love seeing you reduced to a mundane side.

Unexpectedly, it wasn’t long before Emperor Zi’an’s expression began to stiffen gradually.

The gifts Shouzhe was receiving were simply too numerous. Especially when those from First or Second Class families came with congratulatory gifts, the treasures were delivered to the Wang family in full chests, and the gift lists were thick, needing special boxes to store them.

“Emperor Qingyu of Great Liang, congratulates Duke Shou with joy, gifting a thousand boxes of low-grade Spirit Stones, a hundred boxes of middle grade Spirit Stones, one box of top-grade Spirit Stones, ten supreme-grade Spirit Stones! A pair of level Nine Luan wings, one level Nine green phoenix egg, three pieces of Divine Spiritual Treasure, twenty Purple Abode Treasures, one place of spiritual inheritance…”

“Emperor Yuanping of Da Zhou State, congratulates Duke Shou with joy, gifting ten Millennium Spirit Medicines, a hundred Five Millennium Spirit Medicines, a thousand Thousand-Year Spirit Medicines, two thousand jin of extreme cold jade crystal iron ingots, thirty thousand jin of Xuan Iron ingots, three thousand jin of level Ten Spirit Wood Material, ten thousand jin of level Nine Spirit Wood Material, a pair of level Nine Xuan-eyed White Tiger cubs, one place of spiritual inheritance…”

“Emperor Yuanyou of the South Qin Demonic Dynasty, congratulates Duke Shou with joy, gifting one Ten Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine…”

“Emperor Yan Qing of the West Jin Demonic Dynasty, congratulates Duke Shou with joy, gifting one Immortal Spirit Stone…”

“Emperor Yuanting of the Northern Yan Demonic Dynasty, congratulates Duke Shou with joy, gifting a hundred jin of Scorching Sun fine copper…”

“King of the Northern Territory of Cold Moon, congratulates Duke Shou with joy, gifting one Dao-level Item…”

“King of the Blood Sea of Red Moon, congratulates Duke Shou with joy, gifting five Divine Spiritual Treasures, nine Millennium Spirit Medicines, ten jin of Space Crystal…”

“Emperor Boyu of Zhao Country in the Demonic Dynasty, congratulates Duke Shou with joy, gifting two Divine Spiritual Treasures, three Millennium Spirit Medicines…”

“Summer King’s Palace of Zhao Country in the Demonic Dynasty, congratulates Duke Shou with joy…”

The big shots from all sides showed extraordinary generosity, especially the West Jin and South Qin, arch-rivals of Da Qian, who practically bled themselves dry to send gifts to Wang Shouzhe.

“Ten Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine,” what kind of concept is that?

It’s equivalent to a Spirit Medicine of the [Ghostly Underworld Golden Lotus] level.

Of course, this statement is not entirely accurate.

The preciousness of Spirit Medicine is not only related to its age but also directly related to the species of the Spirit Medicine; the latter holds more significance.

But one must realize, with lower-grade Spirit Medicines, even if you place them in the most conducive environment, they are unlikely to survive ten thousand years. When the time comes, they will naturally die. Only the highest-grade Spirit Medicines can potentially live to such an age.

And such Spirit Medicines often have inherently high value.

Moreover, due to the extremely long age, even the Immortal-Demon Dynasties do not have much of these in stock, classifying them as heavily scarce resources.

This one brought out by Emperor Yuanyou of the South Qin must be a treasured possession of the South Qin.

Similarly, the value of an Immortal Spirit Stone is quite comparable.

Although it may seem like the Wang family has many Immortal Spirit Stones, these are extremely rare resources outside. They can significantly increase the cultivation speed of Transcendent Void Realm experts and even aid in breakthroughs.

If you can bear to part with just one Immortal Spirit Stone, you could have a Transcendent Void Realm expert willingly work for you, and it’s considered hard currency even in front of the Immortal Emperor and Demon Emperor.

Besides, the [Places of spiritual inheritance] sent by Great Emperor Qingyu of Da Liang and Emperor Yuanping of Da Zhou, while slightly less valuable, are still substantial assets for a family’s foundation.
