Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2567: Chapter 67: Shou Zhe Returns Home! Eating Tathagata Buddha Fruit

…

Cai Youdao was once a Sacred Supreme, though he’s quite down on his luck now, his knowledge remains. But he’s never seen a family as outrageous as the Wang family.

So many True Immortal Seeds—how immense must the financial resources be to cultivate them to fruition? Even the top families of the Central Lands wouldn’t dare to play this way, right?

Moreover, why is Young Master Shouzhe nurturing so many True Immortal Seeds?

Thoughts raced through Cai Youdao’s mind, vaguely feeling like their young master might be setting up a grand scheme.

Amidst Cai Youdao’s wild thoughts and the delightful interactions among Wang Shouzhe, Wang Fuheng, Wang Guilan, and Wang Jinyu, the flying boat they were aboard sped towards the direction of Changning County.

During the journey, Wang Shouzhe deliberately took time to guide the children in their cultivation, broadening their horizons and revealing to them the mysteries of cultivation.

…

A period later.

Changning County.

Xinping Town, Wang Clan’s Alchemy Department.

After years of development, Wang Clan’s Alchemy Department has undergone several renovations and transformed into a massive structure resembling a palatial fortress. The central headquarters building, modified countless times, now stands as a colossal tower.

Located in the outskirts, the department spans a vast area, housing numerous employees with exceedingly busy operations. The complex architecture divides into the administrative zone, production zone, and various warehouses of diverse sizes and functions.

The production zone is further sectioned into the Herbal Processing Area, Transfer Area, and Pill Refining Area.

At this moment.

Dongfang Lingrou quickly walked into the herbal processing workshop.

She was already over two hundred and forty years old, yet the long years had hardly marked her face, instead imbuing her with the unique charm of a mature woman.

Born to the Dongfang Clan at Tianjin Port, her family faced hardship in her childhood. If not for Pill King Wang Shouye intervening out of respect for the Dongfang Old Ancestor, the Dongfang Clan might have vanished in the tides of history.

Grateful for Wang Shouye’s past assistance, she silently followed his footsteps, joining the Wang Clan’s Alchemy Department after graduating from Changning Academy, steadily becoming Wang Shouye’s right-hand aide.

In the workshop.

Each qualified Purple Leaf Dioscorea lay on the tracks, being sent into different areas of the assembly line. These areas required them to undergo “washing,” “drying,” “grinding,” “sifting,” “packaging,” and other steps before being stored in designated transfer warehouses as needed.

Every step here was done on the assembly line.

On the assembly line, each herbal worker meticulously carried out one mechanical and simple task after another.

“Brother Mingtang, there’s another large batch of Purple Leaf Dioscorea coming in today.” Located at the processing line, Dongfang Lingrou quickly found a middle-aged man showing signs of weathering and instructed him, “You must work overtime to expedite the processing of these Dioscorea. Otherwise, if delayed, their medicinal efficacy will be lost.”

The middle-aged man’s name was Li Mingtang.

Upon hearing Dongfang Lingrou’s instructions, Li Mingtang hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting: “Rest assured, Senior Sister Dongfang, Mingtang will exert his utmost effort. But currently, there are too many Dioscorea acquired, and we’re somewhat falling behind in this production workshop.”

Li Mingtang hailed from a Grade Eight Prominent Family within Da Zhou Empire on Muzhen Continent. His ancestors once received benefits from Wang Shouye due to some opportunity, leading the family to gradually thrive. In gratitude and seeking better growth, they sent Li Mingtang to study at Changning Academy.

Following successful studies, Li Mingtang joined the Wang Clan’s Alchemy Department. After one hundred eighty years, he has become an important middle-class figure.

However, his natural talents were limited, and his family’s wealth was average. Despite his consistent efforts in cultivation, he only reached the Heavenly Human Realm at about one hundred twenty years old.

Thus, though just over two hundred years old, younger than Dongfang Lingrou, his appearance conveyed the image of a stable and capable middle-aged man.

“Hmm, I’ve already discussed this matter with General Manager Shouye.” Dongfang Lingrou said sternly, “We’re planning to establish ten new herbal processing workshops. Wang’s Construction and Engineering has already entered the site, and Wang Clan’s Artifact Refining Headquarters has begun producing the latest assembly lines. Brother Mingtang, you need to select a group of excellent cadres for managing the new line and train as many herbal workers as possible.”

Building ten extra processing workshops?

Li Mingtang’s scalp tingled.

From where did the Alchemy Department get so many Dioscorea? And this was only for herbal processing. Wouldn’t the pill refining workshops require even more construction?

Nonetheless, since it was tasked by Senior Sister Dongfang, no matter how difficult, he wouldn’t decline.

Right away, he assured, “Mingtang will complete the task.”

Dongfang Lingrou smiled warmly: “Thank you, Brother. I need to discuss some matters with General Manager Shouye.”

With that, she left the processing workshop.

Watching her sway gracefully away, Li Mingtang couldn’t help but momentarily lose himself.

Back in his days at Changning Academy, Senior Sister Dongfang took good care of him. In his youthful admiration, over time, he gradually developed affection for her.
