Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2545: Chapter 62: Huge Profits in Chaos Spirit Stones! Five-Color Spirit Fruit Tree

The visitor turned out to be the projection of Emperor Tianrui.

As soon as he arrived, his amiable voice echoed from the sky: “Hehehe~ Shouzhe, I came uninvited, you wouldn’t blame me, would you?”

“Greetings, Old Ancestor/Your Majesty.” Prince Wen Yu and the others hurriedly paid their respects.

Wang Shouzhe, however, stayed calm, performed a junior’s salute, and said, “Shouzhe pays respect to the senior Saint Emperor.”

His demeanor was composed and calm, displaying the attitude of someone well-versed in grand matters.

While speaking, the Saint Emperor projection had already descended from the sky, slowly landing in front of them.

He smiled broadly as he examined Wang Shouzhe: “Truly a Dao bone and sacred physique, exceptional and extraordinary. Child, since you’ve come to my Tianrui Sacred Dynasty for training, why not inform me~~~ I would certainly open doors of convenience for you to avoid misunderstandings and suspicions.”

Such an attitude suggested the two were familiar with each other.

“Senior Saint Emperor, Shouzhe went out to gain insight through training,” Wang Shouzhe said “respectfully,” “Originally did not plan to stay long in Tianrui Sacred Dynasty. In any case, it’s my oversight as a junior.”

After some courtesy exchanges.

Only then did the Saint Emperor projection look at Prince Wen Yu, whom he had been ignoring, and angrily said: “Junxi, this entire situation is due to your mischief. Had you not recklessly oppressed Shouzhe during his training, he wouldn’t have had to compete against you.”

His purpose here, naturally, was to personally “assess” Wang Shouzhe’s “quality.” With one glance, he was almost certain that Wang Shouzhe hailed from a distinguished background.

Whether it’s his bloodline talent or wealth, he is far from being the offspring of a lesser clan.

Moreover, the Saint Emperor could vaguely sense the Wood Type Immortal Scripture within his divine soul. The air and immortality of it were clearly not of an ordinary Immortal Scripture, most likely a high-grade one with the potential to surpass the Sacred Image.

Such a magnificent young man could not possibly be nurtured by a force like Tianrui Sacred Dynasty.

Even taking a step back, if Wang Shouzhe is not from the top-ranking Prominent Family, with his Dao bone and sacred physique, it would be easy for him to become a direct disciple under the Taoist Master. The Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme mentioned more than once about taking Wang Shouzhe as a disciple.

Can Tianrui Sacred Dynasty afford to antagonize him?

Absolutely not!

If they provoke Wang Shouzhe, the first to turn hostile might just be the Cloud Peng Sacred Supreme!

Prince Wen Yu hurriedly cupped his hands to Wang Shouzhe: “Shouzhe, all faults lie with Junxi. From now on, wherever you are, Junxi shall retreat thrice. However, the food crisis needs resolving. Would you consider offering Chaos Spirit Stones at a more reasonable price?”

Only then did Wang Shouzhe ponder for a moment, reluctantly nodding: “Since His Majesty the Saint Emperor is here today, Shouzhe will give the prince face. The total purchase price for food shall be calculated at forty-five Chaos Spirit Stones, but I have a small condition.”

“What condition?” Prince Wen Yu quickly inquired.

Though forty-five Chaos Spirit Stones still represent an astronomical figure, Shouzhe controls about eight years’ worth of Tianrui Sacred Dynasty’s total output, theoretically valued around twenty-five to twenty-six Chaos Spirit Stones.

With current rising grain prices, the value of thirty Chaos Spirit Stones is reasonable.

Thus, it is barely acceptable.

“I have heard the Sky-blessed Imperial Family possesses a small Eighth Grade Fire Spirit Vein.” Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, “I need to extract a tiny segment, just enough to appear as a miniature Eighth Grade Fire Spirit Vein. I won’t take it for free, I can offer a Chaos Spirit Stone at market price.”

The small Eighth Grade Fire Spirit Vein is among the foundations of the Sky-blessed Imperial Family, roughly worth ten Chaos Spirit Stones. If divided, it could yield eleven or twelve miniature spirit veins.

“Oh?” The Saint Emperor was slightly surprised at this condition, then laughed, “A few days ago Cloud Peng approached me to purchase spirit veins, aiming to collect the five types: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth miniature Eighth Grade spirit veins, turns out it’s for you, Shouzhe.”

“Shouzhe, you’re planning to cultivate a miniature five-colored Spirit Field?”

“Just happened to acquire a seed, planning to plant a Five-colored Spirit Fruit Tree for fun.” Wang Shouzhe said casually.

“It’s good stuff, the Five-colored Spirit Fruit is the primary material for the Eleventh Grade Sacred Pill.” The Saint Emperor quipped, “Only the Primordial Taoist Palace cultivates some, since Shouzhe wants to play with it, I’ll gift you the small segment of Fire Type miniature spirit vein.”

After all, it’s worth the price of a Chaos Spirit Stone; given the immense favor already granted to Wang Shouzhe, an additional stone doesn’t matter.

Moreover, cultivating a Five-colored Spirit Fruit Tree isn’t simple. As the main ingredient for the Eleventh Grade Sacred Pill, it’s not only highly valuable but also requires a lengthy growth period. Even with a Wood Type Sacred Supreme to expedite its growth, it’s undoubtedly a long-drawn battle.

Furthermore, during its growth process, continuous investment is needed, which ordinary Sacred Races cannot endure.

“Your Majesty is generous.” Wang Shouzhe chuckled, “I owe this favor.”

“However, Shouzhe, I must warn you, this time it’s indeed due to Junxi’s mistake that the grain war happened, which is why I won’t fuss over it too much.” Emperor Tianrui’s projection gradually turned serious, “In the future, should you suffer grievances in our Tianrui Sacred Dynasty, you can speak with me. But such incidents must not repeat.”

Though unspoken, Wang Shouzhe understood Emperor Tianrui’s implicit warning.

He immediately chuckled, “Rest assured, Your Majesty, in a few days, Shouzhe shall travel elsewhere. This business will continue being managed by the Jiang’s agency. Jiang’s will strictly adhere to Tianrui’s laws, conducting legitimate and reasonable transactions.”
