Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2527: Chapter 58: Laying a Grand, Grand Chess Game (Part 4)

Having an extra Immortal Spirit Stone, once divided, can provide additional cultivation resources for the family’s children.

After a pause, Jiang Jian Mu said, “Family Head, there are still quite a few manors in the secondary estate. Should we dismiss the tenant farmers, or leave them for now?”

“Leave them for now.” Wang Shouzhe pondered briefly, “Send some clever Jiang Clan members to manage the manors. Whatever needs planting, plant it; whatever needs harvesting, harvest it. Follow the usual practices, and don’t let the Spirit Field go to waste.”

“Yes, my lord.” Jiang Jian Mu immediately took the order.

He thought to himself that the lord probably didn’t want to be bothered with these trivial matters. So he needed to pay more attention, at least to screen and clean up the tenant farmers, removing those who are dishonest or lazy and keeping those who are reliable. Additionally, hiring a few more tenant farmers.

In this world, with Spirit Fields available, there’s no fear of recruiting tenant farmers to serve them.

As they spoke, the flying carriage circled in the air above the secondary estate, surveying the entire area.

Having grasped the entire situation, Wang Shouzhe instructed the flying carriage to land at the Lake Heart Pavilion.

The materials used for this Lake Heart Pavilion were clearly of higher quality than those of the surrounding manors. It was built in a serene and elegant style, with the surrounding plants seemingly well-maintained. Clearly, this place was specifically constructed for the visiting Eastern Masters or Honorable Guests to temporarily reside.

This place was kept clean and in good condition, indicating that the Tianrui Chen family probably only withdrew recently.

Seeing this Spirit-laden, misty pavilion, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but miss his wife, Liu Ruolan, reminiscing about the moments at the Lake Heart Pavilion on Zhuwei Lake.

In a daze for a moment, he regained his senses and told Jiang Jian Mu, “I’ll stay here for a few days.”

“My lord, this place hasn’t been tidied yet. You might as well stay in your Carry-on Cave Mansion first,” Jiang Mu Xian hurriedly said, “Give me a few days to tidy up and decorate this Lake Heart Pavilion.”

“Alright then, Mu Xian, you can get busy. I’ll take a walk around.”

Wang Shouzhe nodded, letting her handle her tasks while he took a leisurely stroll by himself in the pavilion.

Unknowingly, he wandered to the railing, and with his God Sense scanning the Spiritual Lake, he “saw” the lake teeming with vibrant Spirit Fish, spirit clams, and other various aquatic life.

The most “eye-catching” among them was a massive aquatic vine hidden in the water.

Its thick vines coiled like a python beneath the lake, with only some Spirit Leaves floating on the surface, absorbing the essence of Spiritual Energy.

Seemingly sensing Wang Shouzhe’s “gaze,” a segment of the giant vine suddenly detached from the main vine, shooting out of the water with a rush, transforming in an instant into a woman in a water-green robe.

The woman appeared to be about thirty, slender in stature, with a gentle and graceful demeanor. Her slightly blue-green hair was braided long, draped over her ear, threaded with small green Spirit Leaves, appearing rather simplistic.

Upon her appearance, she respectfully bowed to Wang Shouzhe, “Servant Chen Qiandong greets the lord. I am the guardian Spirit Plant of this estate, a Level Ten Primordial Water Spirit Vine.”

She understood that this young, handsome man with a profound aura was probably her new master.

Being the Formation Eye of the Spirit Gathering Array, she was responsible for suppressing the Spirit Veins and channeling Spiritual Energy and couldn’t leave the core of the Formation Eye for long. This time, since the estate was sold, she, as the Formation Eye, was naturally sold along with it to Wang Shouzhe.

Otherwise, how could just this small estate possibly cost over twenty Immortal Spirit Stones?

“A Level Ten Spirit Plant core is somewhat shabby,” Wang Shouzhe slightly furrowed his brows.

Her cultivation base only reached Level Ten, theoretically equivalent to the late Divine Power Territory, on par with his realm. But if it came to a fight, the Saint bloodline of Wang Shouzhe could easily crush her.

Hearing Wang Shouzhe’s words, Chen Qiandong felt a bit bitter and a tad aggrieved.

This was the Chen family’s secondary estate, not the Main Residence.

In the Tianrui Chen family’s Main Residence, there was an eleventh-level peak Spirit Plant. As the Formation Eye of the secondary estate, the number of Spirit Veins and resource allocation were naturally inferior to those of the Main Residence. Being at Level Ten was quite normal, wasn’t it?

Moreover, she had reached the peak of Level Ten, how was that shabby for guarding the secondary estate’s Formation Eye?

However, facing her new master whose temperament she didn’t understand, she dared not voice any complaints and could only lower her head silently.

If her new master was dissatisfied and sold her, she would lose the benefits of being the core Formation Eye of this large Spirit Gathering Array.

It was precisely by being the core Formation Eye of the Spirit Gathering Array that she managed to gradually grow to her current state. Given another thousand years, she might painstakingly breakthrough to Level Eleven, which was quite good for a Spirit Plant.

Just as she was filled with anxiety, a small bottle suddenly flew in front of her.

Simultaneously, accompanied by the voice of the new master, “This is a small bottle of Chaos Essence, take it. I hope you can quickly break through the bloodline shackles of the Spirit Plant and advance to Level Eleven, barely living up to the appearance of a Formation Eye Spirit Plant.”

What?

Chaos Essence?

Chen Qiandong was momentarily stunned before she finally reacted.

At that moment, her entire vine seemed struck by intense joy, dizzy and almost speechless.

She had lived nearly ten thousand years and had never seen Chaos Essence before. Such a precious thing was given to her so casually?

Seeing her bewildered expression, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but chuckle.

This vine had grown so large and must be quite old, yet why did it look so naive?

Wang Shouzhe thought about it and then realized that when families raised Spirit Plants, they usually didn’t demand much intelligence or knowledge from them, just enough strength. After all, prominent families raised Spirit Plants mainly for guarding the residence, and such plants rarely left the premises in a lifetime, experiencing very little, thus maintaining a rather simple nature.

The Wang family’s Spirit Plants, beginning studies in the clan school at a young age, were indeed exceptional.

As for the small bottle of Chaos Essence given by Wang Shouzhe, it was naturally what he had left over after accounting for the provision for the young ones at home.

After laughing, Wang Shouzhe didn’t dwell much on her reaction, simply waved his hand, saying, “Alright, go cultivate. Also, from today, you shall be renamed as [Wang Qianvine].”

“Yes, my lord. Thank you, my lord. Servant Wang Qianvine takes her leave, takes her leave.”

Chen Qiandong then realized, cherishing the small bottle of Chaos Essence as if it were a treasure before her, she quickly retreated into the water, eagerly beginning to absorb the Chaos Essence to cultivate.

Wang Shouzhe continued his leisurely stroll around the estate.

However, the peaceful days lasted only a couple of days.

On this day.

A luxurious flying carriage descended from the sky, charging towards the estate.

This flying carriage was drawn by two Level Twelve Azure Dragons of Primordial Water, with the following litter remarkably splendid, emanating an aura filled with majesty.

Before the flying carriage landed.

A stern and outraged voice boomed from within the carriage: “Wang Shouzhe, you little brat! How dare you abuse the Bright Pearl of this king’s treasure? Come and see this king at once!”

This king? Abusing the Bright Pearl?

Wang Shouzhe scratched his chin. With a quick thought, he immediately understood and then smiled helplessly. Well, it seemed that the East Sea Immortal King had personally come to make trouble.

Came pretty fast~
