Protect Our Clan Leader

Far away in the Realm of Ruin, Yun Tiange was still unaware that an uninvited guest had arrived at the edge of the domain. She was eagerly heading to the next ruins.

Meanwhile.

At the Senior Officer Improvement Academy, everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.

In less than a month, the Wang family had swept away all kinds of rewards, making a windfall.

However, aside from initially paying some attention, Wang Shouzhe and a few others soon turned their focus elsewhere.

Taking advantage of the rare gathering of core family members, Wang Shouzhe simply brought everyone together for tea, small meetings, and discussions to assess the current state of various industries and their future development.

Whether it be the rewards or the opportunities, they are just momentary windfalls. For a family to sustain long-term development, it must rely on various core industries to generate continuous wealth, maintaining family expenses while also accumulating family heritage.

In Wang Shouzhe’s view, these are far more important than windfalls.

It’s known that besides Bao Sheng, even the youngest Wang Fugui now possesses the strength of the Divine Power Territory, while others like Wang Shouxin and Wang Shounuo, who started a bit later, have gradually caught up with the main forces through years of hard work, reaching the Divine Mastery Realm Level.

In the old Da Qian, such individuals were top-level officials.

Even in the currently rapidly advancing Divine Martial World, a strong individual in the Divine Power Territory remains a significant figure.

As the combined industries of the Wang family and its allied in-law families continue to grow, these core members often need to oversee different areas and handle various matters. Sometimes they’re so busy that they can’t even return home for the New Year unless specifically assembled, making such complete gatherings rare.

“Fourth Brother, our Alchemy Department now has an annual total output value of twenty-seven Immortal Spirit Stones.” Wang Shouye sat on a comfortable sofa, sipping Immortal Tea, speaking in a low voice, “But after factoring in the investment for industry expansion and my costs for upgrading alchemy skills, we can only add two Immortal Spirit Stones in pure profit annually for the family.”

Known as the most handsome in the Wang family and the top Alchemist in the Divine Martial World, Wang Shouye is a well-known figure, with even Immortal Emperor Muyun treating him quite courteously.

However, at this moment, he looked at Wang Shouzhe with a resentful expression, as if a line was written on his face: I want to refine profitable pills!

“Didn’t I promise you that you would only need to refine Rank 9 Infinite Pills from now on?” Wang Shouzhe laughed, “You’re no longer incurring losses on Rank 9 Pills at present.”

“I want to refine Eighth Grade Metamorphosis Pills; those are profitable.” Wang Shouye said, “I can consistently produce seven pills per batch, earning five to six Extreme Spirits. If I’m diligent, I can refine ten batches a year, earning fifty to sixty Extreme Spirits. With more expertise, I could earn even more~~”

“No way. According to your plan, it would only be a half Immortal Spirit Stone per annum, and this is based on prices in the Divine Martial World. Connecting with the Sacred Domain yields thinner profits. In the Sacred Domain, proficient Alchemists typically achieve eight or even nine pills per batch. How could you compete with them?” Wang Shouzhe curtly refused, his tone turning stern, “Continue refining Rank 9 Pills. You should aim to consistently produce six Rank 9 Pills per batch in thirty years, earning twenty to thirty Extreme Spirits per batch and two to three Immortal Spirit Stones per year, which is more cost-effective in the long term.”

“Shouye, you need to look further ahead and broaden your perspective. Don’t fixate on minor immediate gains.”

“Alright, Fourth Brother, I understand.” Wang Shouye conceded.

These words from Fourth Brother were already clichés, ones he could recite by heart.

He understood that, from a long-term perspective, following Fourth Brother’s advice was indeed wise. Yet, he was anxious that he wouldn’t earn much before advancing to the Transcendent Void Realm, and by then, Fourth Brother would surely pressure him to continue losing on the Grade Ten Ascension Pill.

Unfortunately, Fourth Brother was adamant, and he could only comply.

“Old Ancestor, our Refining Artifact Headquarters currently has a total demand including exports, reaching thirty Immortal Spirit Stones annually.” Wang Ningxi also reported his work, “However, with the need to continuously ramp up production scale and the high cost of development investment, we can only provide two Immortal Spirit Stones in extra profit for the family.”

Due to Wang Shouzhe’s philosophy, the Wang family’s artifact refining industry has taken a different route from other families since the beginning, focusing consistently on new product development. As a result, the Wang family’s artifact refining industry has developed at an extremely rapid pace.

Cement, glass, assembly lines, puppets, battle armors, Sky Mechanism Recording Disks, Crystal Screens… Many inventions and innovations born from Wang’s Research Institute have already profoundly transformed the lives of ordinary people in the Divine Martial World.

Should a person from Earth cross over now, they might think they had ended up in a sci-fi world instead.

Consequently, Wang Liyue’s led Wang’s Research Institute is almost a money devourer, consuming massive funding annually, preventing the Wang Clan’s Artifact Refining Headquarters’ net profit from rising.

“No rush on this.” Wang Shouzhe remained composed, “The current new product, the ’portable crystal screen,’ has good results, and production can be increased. Additionally, signal base stations everywhere need more significant scale investments, and large crystal screens can also increase production. These not only generate profits but also promote the entertainment industry, achieving a win-win situation.”
