Protect Our Clan Leader

“Research and development costs cannot be spared. On the contrary, our investment should be increased, especially in areas such as high-power Divine Might Cannon, Heavenly Punishment series, and Puppet Swarms. Our Refining Artifact Headquarters has great future development prospects. Do not limit yourself to just one city or land.”

“Yes, Old Ancestor.”

Wang Ningxi nodded, his mind already starting to calculate one artifact refining project after another.

The artifact refining industry is highly profitable and vast in scale, but the cost of investment and research and development is also terrifyingly high.

In addition, the annual trade volume of the Holy Domain Development Headquarters has reached 35 Immortal Spirit Stones, and the Wang family currently earns an annual net profit dividend of 2 Immortal Spirit Stones.

Moreover, the promotion and sale of Wang family’s grain seeds is also a stable source of revenue, with ordinary grain seeds maintaining an annual net profit of about 0.5 Immortal Spirit Stones.

As for the sale of Spirit Rice seeds at various levels, it is even more profitable. After deducting various expenses, the net profit reaches about 2.5 Immortal Spirit Stones, which is more than the dividend from the Holy Domain Development Headquarters.

The structure of the Changning United Headquarters is relatively complex, consisting of various in-law families of Changning gathering together to make money, involving industries such as glass, paper, cement, mining, and primary smelting.

Currently, the Wang family enjoys an annual dividend of about 0.8 Immortal Spirit Stones.

In addition, Wang Baosheng also reported on the situation of the entire entertainment industry.

This sunrise industry has recently developed at a rapid pace, with its scale expanding day by day. The Wang family can earn an additional net profit of 1.2 Immortal Spirit Stones solely from the entertainment industry.

Moreover, this industry has boosted and revitalized other economies and has also fulfilled the spiritual needs of the vast majority of people.

Most importantly, by controlling the entertainment channels, the Wang family can gradually guide the worldview, values, and outlook on life of the Divine Martial Human Race, gradually achieving cultural and ideological unity for the Divine Martial Human Race.

In Wang Shouzhe’s view, geographical unity is not true unity; only when the populace achieves high cultural and cognitive unity can a nation truly come together.

The vigorous development of the entertainment industry is thus a crucial step in promoting cultural unity.

Therefore, the entertainment industry consolidated and developed by Wang Baosheng has become a very important sector for the Wang family.

Of course, regarding cultural unity, Wang Shouzhe has already covertly communicated and reached an agreement with Princess Su Yun of the Immortal Dynasty, Immortal Emperor Muyun, as well as the Crown Prince Jingming of the Demonic Dynasty and Red Hell Demon Emperor.

Apart from these, the Wang family’s remaining miscellaneous industries yield an annual net profit of approximately 0.8 Immortal Spirit Stones.

As for Qing Huang Little Heavenly Abode and the output of some high-end Spirit Fields, these belong to strategic resources, primarily consumed internally by the Wang family, with negligible revenue.

After some accounting.

The annual net profit of the Wang family now amounts to roughly 12 Immortal Spirit Stones.

This is an enormous income; ten years would be 120 Immortal Spirit Stones, approximately equivalent to an Immortal Scripture.

Of course, profit is merely profit. The Wang family members need to eat and drink, consume resources, study, and develop. With the total population of the Wang family now reaching several thousand, and the maintenance standards being extremely high, each expense is a heavy burden.

Currently, the family’s annual everyday expenses require about 9 Immortal Spirits, leaving approximately 3 Immortal Spirits in savings to expand the family’s foundation.

Of course, these are normal income from family business operations, and the profits are looking to increase annually.

As for income from replicas, battlefield loot, and occasional unmatched gains from Wang Shouzhe’s manipulation of grain prices in the Sacred Domain, they are not included.

At the time, Wang Shouzhe’s lavish spending in the Sacred Domain was mainly because the expenses covered were from occasional gains, which he did not mind spending. Additionally, it was to maintain the image of a “noble young master,” to avoid revealing any flaws, and also to make some connections with Sacred Supreme and Saintess, among others.

“Ningxi.” Wang Shouzhe inquired about another very important matter, “How has the exploration of the [Bloodline Improvement Liquid Synthesizer] been going?”

“I’ve studied that equipment. Its design principle and involved technology are extremely complex, but it’s quite simple to operate.” Wang Ningxi said, “The main materials needed for synthesis are Chaos Essence, nutrients extracted from Spirit Rice, and pure water, the last two of which have negligible cost.”

“Regarding the consumption of Chaos Essence, for instance, to synthesize and refine a dose of [Immortal-grade Bloodline Enhancement Fluid], it requires consuming a small bottle of Chaos Essence and some Rank Six Spirit Rice essence liquid. Currently, in the Sacred Domain, the auction price for a small bottle of Chaos Essence is around 10 Immortal Spirit Stones. Therefore, the cost of a [Elixir Improvement Liquid] is equivalent to 10 Immortal Spirit Stones.”

“Its efficacy is stronger than Grade Ten Ascension Pill but weaker than Grade Eleven Sacred Pill. In the Sacred Domain, an Ascension Pill generally sells for 3 Immortal Spirits, while a Sacred Pill sells for 30 Immortal Spirits.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Shouzhe was somewhat emotional: “Good as it is, the cost is indeed not low. However, the strongest aspect of the Blood Improvement Liquid is its effect in enhancing bloodline talent, which does not conflict with Dan medicine; they can be accumulated and enhanced together, producing considerable effects.”

“Exactly.” Wang Ningxi said excitedly, “This is the most powerful aspect of the Blood Improvement Liquid. Currently, items like this are very rare in the Sacred Domain. As they say, ’scarcity defines value.’ If this [Elixir Improvement Liquid], with a cost of 10 Immortal Spirits, were to be auctioned, it would likely fetch over 20 Immortal Spirits. If a special buyer needs it, the auction price might even reach 30 Immortal Spirits.”
