Chapter 160: You Become the Demon Lord! I'll Be the Demon Emperor (Part 2)
Wang Shouzhe himself tried using Great Divine Power for directional cultivation, but still did not cultivate a similar tree species. Perhaps it's a case of the skillful cook finding it difficult without rice.
It seems that once again, on this journey to Mozhao Country, another task has been added — that is, to find clues about a tree species similar to the rubber tree and bring it back to Da Qian for cultivation.
"Old Master, please forgive Young Master Zongkun. He's still a child." The two Dragon Whale sisters start pleading bitterly again.
"Hmph!" Wang Shouzhe said with a stern face, "Look at him, acting like a lazy young master all day. Is there any male family member at home as indolent as him? Without responsibility and initiative, how can he become a real man? That brat showed some progress years ago, pleaded for me to help with tutoring, but soon lost patience again. I'll have to talk with Queen Jingjing soon, and tell her not to indulge him anymore."
After so many years of battling wits with Wang Lixian, he already has ample experience.
Immortal plant and beast like Wang Lixian and Wang Zongkun are different from ordinary fiercive beasts with potential only to Level Seven or Eight. They were born with exceptional spiritual intelligence, their intelligence at Level Five or Six is already comparable to a ten-year-old human child.
At Level Seven or Eight, their intelligence is actually close to human teenagers around fifteen or sixteen years old. If they seriously study and are willing to learn, entering a High Clan School would be no problem at all.
They just don't want to use their brains, aren't willing to study seriously.
"Here are some workbooks, you go back and urge him to practice. If he continues to be so negligent and his grades don't improve, don't blame me for taking real action." Wang Shouzhe said as he pulled out a stack of workbooks and handed them to the two Dragon Whale sisters, then angrily turned and left.
The two Dragon Whale sisters, holding a large pile of workbooks, looked at each other, both with worried expressions.
It looks like Young Master Zongkun's days ahead will be tough~
Old Master Shouzhe's order, apart from Lady Ruolan, who dares to disobey at home? Even Queen Jingjing doesn't dare to openly defy her father-in-law.
After settling Wang Zongkun's matter, Wang Shouzhe returned to the cabin to rest.
This flagship-sized giant ironclad ship has a renovated interior where luxurious suites are divided, and even has various activity rooms.
Passing the "leisure room", he happened to hear the sound of playing mahjong from inside.
"Sorry everyone, I got a self-draw again this round." Long Wuji's cheerful voice rang out, "My apologies, thank you, thank you."
For so many years, Long Wuji has been galloping across the seas for long periods, achieving quite a bit. Not only has his own Bloodline Talent been upgraded to the Great Heavenly Proud level through several sea adventures, his strength has greatly improved, and he's truly made significant Merit Points in developing the maritime routes.
Aside from discovering that subcontinent in the beginning, he has already located the position of Tianji Continent and fully explored the route to it. Currently, besides engaging in trade between Tianji Continent and Da Qian, he is also in charge of exploring the remnants of the Divine Martial's [Officer Academy].
This time going to the Demonic Dynasty's territory, the journey is long and the risks are high. Coincidentally, Long Wuji returned, and Wang Shouzhe directly entrusted him, an experienced captain in deep-sea navigation, to command the fleet, which is more appropriate.
"Wuji, your card skills are much better than your Old Ancestor Grandfather." Jiang Zhencang's voice sighed, "I'm already half-retired, this bit of pension is not enough for losing~"
"Master Jiang is too modest. No need to cry poor in front of juniors." Long Wuji laughed heartily, "As far as I know, Master Jiang not only earns Tribute money from the Wang family, but also receives additional allowances for tasks, earning quite a bit. How much can one lose with this small mahjong?"
"Wuji, you don't understand." Jiang Zhencang sighed, a "you don't understand" posture, "Our Yuxuan has just established a foothold in the Immortal Palace. To aim at the Mid-Late Stage of the Void Realm in the future is impossible with just Immortal Palace subsidies. As a Master, I must provide some support, right?"
Even in a resource-rich Immortal Palace, cultivating the Void Realm isn't an endless supply of resources. Quite a portion of resources must be earned or supplemented by the family.
Doing this is partly to avoid producing a group of talents who can't do anything but cultivate, and also, the resources are truly scarce.
If not, Jade Spirit True Monarch, who always talks about "True Immortal Reincarnation", wouldn't be fleecing everywhere, making several Wu Dao True Monarch fearful of her.
She isn't merely pretending to be poor, she genuinely is.
To accelerate the impact on the mid-latter stages of the Void Realm, Jade Spirit True Monarch's cultivation consumption of resources is undoubtedly enormous, even with support from Cold Moon Jiang Clan, King of the North's Mansion, Liang Country, and other forces, life is still financially constrained.
"That is true." King Chaoyang truly felt this, "The goal being the Mid-Late Stage of the Void Realm, the difficulty is immense. Even though I am of royal descent, enjoying vast resources from the Imperial Household, reaching Level Seven in the Void Realm was extremely tough."
"Luckily, the Wang family's foundation is strong, bearing a significant part of Yuxuan's cultivation resources, with additional substantial support from the Fang Family." Jiang Zhencang's voice was filled with both gratitude and pride, "Plus, with the resources I saved and the Immortal Palace's subsidy, our Yuxuan definitely has a bright future. She will surely become one of the pillars of the Human race."
