Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2398: Chapter 28: Cai Youdao’s Work Spirit Awakens

Still Rank Six!

Wang Shouzhe and Yun Tiange walked faster.

Rank Six Spirit Rice is not ordinary Spirit Rice.

Nowadays in the Divine Martial World, the grades of certain spirit fields and spirit rice, such as Sacred Spirit Rice and Immortal Spirit Rice, are self-created naming systems.

However, in the Sacred World, spirit veins and spirit rice are named according to standardized names like First Grade, Second Grade, etc.

What concept is Rank Six Spirit Rice? It’s the Immortal Spirit Rice planted around the Wang family’s Stay Immortal Valley! It’s the kind that Emperor Longchang dreams of having for meals!

As for Rank Seven Spirit Rice, it has not yet appeared in the Divine Martial World, nor are there corresponding spirit veins, spirit fields, and Rank Seven Spirit Rice seeds.

No joke, Wang Shouzhe himself hasn’t tasted Rank Seven Spirit Rice yet~

While Cai Youdao and Wang Shouzhe were entangled outside, Crown Prince Yuan Zheng and Ji Yueer’s commercial negotiations were proceeding tightly on the other end.

“Your Highness Yuan Zheng, are you satisfied with our [White Jade Spiritual Rice Number Seventy-nine]?” Ji Yueer leisurely sipped spiritual tea, not looking at the nearby Crown Prince Yuan Zheng, clearly confident in the quality of White Jade Spiritual Rice.

The sample of Spirit Rice has been cooked into rice and is now being tasted by the “servants” brought by Crown Prince Yuan Zheng.

These “servants” were not randomly chosen, but were specifically selected from the lowest tier of sweepers or odd-job workers from the imperial household, all of whom are “ordinary people” at the level of Vital Energy Refining, representing the largest majority of population in the Immortal Dynasty.

Within the Sacred Domain, the White Jade Spiritual Rice series belongs to [First Grade Spirit Rice], and is the most common type among them.

The dignified Crown Prince Yuan Zheng has not eaten such low-grade ordinary spirit rice since birth, thus naturally cannot discern its quality.

“Delicious! So delicious~”

Dozens of servants tasted the rice and their eyes lit up, unanimously praising it.

This Spirit Rice is perfectly round and fragrant, much better than the spirit rice of the same grade from the Xian Wu Immortal Dynasty.

Crown Prince Yuan Zheng nodded, said nothing, and then brought in the prepared Spirit Platform Realm cultivators to join the tasting.

First Grade Spirit Rice is a relatively luxurious consumption for ordinary Vital Energy Refining cultivators, and most Spirit Platform Realm cultivators only use First Grade Spirit Rice as their daily fare.

After tasting, it unanimously received high praise.

“Immortal Ji.” Yuan Zheng was very satisfied, “To be frank, the [White Jade Spiritual Rice Number Seventy-nine] indeed has excellent quality. But what quantity can you provide and at what price?”

The demand for food used by the lowest level is naturally large, given the population base.

Like First Grade Spirit Rice, its main users are wealthy Vital Energy Refining cultivators, ordinary Spirit Platform cultivators, and impoverished Celestial beings. These three levels of cultivators comprise the grassroots of the Silla Immortal Dynasty, occupying the vast majority of the population, and the annual demand gap for Spirit Rice is also the largest.

If it is seriously lacking, it will inevitably damage the foundation of the Immortal Dynasty and cause it to decline rapidly.

Ji Yueer and Yuan Zheng unified their measurement standards and then said: “According to our standard, [One Warehouse] is two hundred thousand catties, which is one hundred tons.”

[Tons] has now become the Wang family’s standard unit and is gradually being adopted throughout the Divine Martial World.

“Every hundred warehouses make one ship, referring to standard-volume freight ships. For First Grade White Jade Spiritual Rice Number Seventy-nine, our price is eighteen thousand Immortal Crystals per ship upon arrival.”

The Immortal Crystal unit really comes from the Sacred Domain, originally adopted during the Divine Martial Era, and has been passed down. Each Immortal Crystal is roughly equivalent to one lower-grade Spirit Stone, theoretically exchangeable for one lower-grade Spirit Stone at the official exchange.

Of course, Immortal Crystal is a currency used to measure price, whereas the latter refers to actual cultivation resources.

Though seemingly linked in price, the issuance volume of Immortal Crystals in any country far exceeds the actual stock of lower-grade Spirit Stones, largely due to the existence of many Immortal Crystal notes.

“Eighteen thousand Immortal Crystals?” Yuan Zheng’s face looked slightly solemn. “Immortal Ji, isn’t this price a bit high?”

“Expensive? I’ve heard that the Xian Wu Immortal Dynasty offers you First Grade Spirit Rice at twenty-five thousand Immortal Crystals per ship, and the quality is far inferior to our White Jade Spiritual Rice Number Seventy-nine…” Ji Yueer said casually, “Our master transported these Spirit Rice from ’far away’ to help you, so the arrival price naturally has to be slightly higher.”

“This…” Yuan Zheng hesitated, “Can we use various grades of ore powder or metal ingots to offset the price? Of course, it must be priced according to our Immortal Dynasty’s normal rates… without arbitrary price suppression.”

“Our master said your ore powder prices are quite reasonable and not ’inflated’, thus acquisition is possible,” Ji Yueer said with a smile, “Selling them back can still yield some ’small profit’, just enough to offset ’shipping expenses’.

Actually, without Yuan Zheng saying it, Ji Yueer would also purchase various grades of ore powder or metal ingots in large quantities.

According to the Family Head’s opinion, metal minerals are non-renewable resources, acquisitions are essential when possible. Furthermore, compared to the Divine Martial World, the metal mineral prices here are incredibly low.

Thus Yuan Zheng’s face brightened with joy: “If that’s the case, this business can proceed, and it can be long-term. According to your measurement standards, we will require two thousand ’ships’ for Silla!”

“Only two thousand ships?” Ji Yueer frowned, “Is the Silla Immortal Dynasty so small in scale?”

In the Divine Martial World, over the past hundred-something years, the Wang family, Immortal Dynasty, and Magic Dynasty—three major forces—made numerous preparations to open the Sacred Domain, and Spirit Rice was one of them.
