Chapter 1429: Chapter 57: Clan Leader’s Bloodline Advancent
…
“My dear True Monarch, don’t be in a hurry. I definitely will not forget to include you the next ti there is an opportunity to make money.” The reason Wang Shouzhe sought the aid of Emperor Longchang and Master Jiang to summon Jade Spirit True Monarch this ti was twofold.
First, to forestall any unexpected incidents, and second, because he felt that Jade Spirit True Monarch was powerful and full of potential, he wanted to establish a network and close up their relationship.
Having tasted the sweetness this ti, she could be easily summoned the next ti he needed soone.
Moreover, the status, prestige, and connections that Jade Spirit True Monarch held in the Immortal Palace were inevitably stronger than those of the Great Emperor and the Sacred Master. In an ergency, if she were asked to summon soone, she might even be able to summon a True Immortal…
However, for soone of her potential and at the Transcendent Void Realm, it is obviously inappropriate to have her do nial tasks like moving bricks. It’s not that she is unwilling, but Wang Shouzhe feels it’s low cost-effectiveness and delaying her cultivation, right? After all, Jade Spirit True Monarch has so potential for the future.
As for extracting top quality Spirit Veins, well, the emperor and Master Jiang don’t have to plan for their next promotion and are often in retreat. Plus, they have ample ti and are growing stronger with age, so let’s not deprive them of the opportunity to employ their remaining heat.
“Alright, you must rember ,” said Jade Spirit True Monarch with a hint of disappointnt, yet she still eagerly looked at Wang Shouzhe and said, “If Demon Lord Xietong cos looking for trouble, you must rember to call for backup. Rest assured, my price will certainly be reasonable. However, as an old monster of the Transcendent Void level, I wouldn’t be a match for him in a one-on-one fight at this ti. When that happens, you will have to invite additional powerful figures. If you don’t know anyone, I can introduce you.”
“Of course, at that ti, I will need to trouble the True Monarch to go to the extra effort of inviting several seniors,” Wang Shouzhe gratefully said, obviously achieving his goal. Suddenly, he changed the subject, “True Monarch, my family obtained a batch of treasures previously, but we couldn’t figure out what they were. Having seen much and knowing much, we would need to trouble you to identify them.”
“What kind of treasures? Show ,” demanded Jade Spirit True Monarch with interest. “Could they be the treasures unearthed from the Blood Venerate’s ruins?”
“Not quite. These are another opportunity that our Wang family ca across.” While speaking, Wang Shouzhe took out the “Protection of the Legion Commander,” a treasure resembling a Divine Martial military token that looked rather ordinary at a glance.
“This…” Jade Spirit True Monarch’s eyes widened in shock, “This seems to be the ‘Protection of the Legion Commander’. During the Divine Martial Dynasty Era, Legion Commanders were Peak Transcendent Void level powerhouses, and when their lifespan was about to end, they would use special thods to create such treasures. Once smashed, it can release a normal strike of that Legion Commander’s battle power. Don’t underestimate this normal strike; back then, each Legion Commander was incredibly powerful. Even Longchang might get injured if he faced one head-on in battle.”
“If caught off guard by a sneak attack, it won’t be surprising to be skin stripped if not killed.”
“Shouzhe, you actually have such a treasure?” Emperor Longchang’s eyes turned envious, “How many do you have? When did you get them?”
The Imperial Household also possessed a few such treasures… but they had been passed down by ordinary Void Realm powerhouses, rely enough to bully those in Divine Skills Territory.
“Not many, just a few. I had them before I t Your Majesty,” Wang Shouzhe said nonchalantly.
Emperor Longchang’s gaze shifted, and staring at Wang Shouzhe with a heart trembling with fear, he exclaid, “You’ve been carrying it on you all this ti? What is your intention! Are you worried I would turn against you and prepared these to strike by surprise at any mont?”
“Your Majesty, we are allies, our own people,” Wang Shouzhe stated helplessly, “I have studied Your Majesty’s behavior and logic over these thousands of years. Although you’re known for being hot-tempered, impulsive, fond of great glory, and the older you get, the younger you act…”
“Get to the point, say the ‘but’…” Emperor Longchang, visibly agitated, rolled his eyes impatiently.
“This ‘but’…” Wang Shouzhe pondered carefully and said, “It seems there isn’t a ‘but’.”
“Wang Shouzhe, you scoundrel, now that you’ve risen to power and are capable, you disrespect …” Emperor Longchang almost coughed up blood angrily and growled, “I’m not dead yet, and I can still wield a sword!”
“Haha.” Wang Shouzhe laughed, “But in reality, Your Majesty is a ruler who cares for the people, always following rules and principles, and would definitely not bully others without good reason. Take the unified guidance price for common foodstuffs that Your Majesty enacted; it has to so extent ensured that no Prominent Family can hoard goods during disasters and harm the common folk.”
“Kid, you really have so insight after all,” Emperor Longchang brightened up, “Enforcing this policy ant offending many Prominent Families.”
“However, every national policy has its pros and cons, Your Majesty. Shall we discuss their drawbacks…” Wang Shouzhe was keen to elaborate from various angles on the advantages and disadvantages of the unified grain prices and to fully analyze how to optimize and complent the national policy…
“Hmph!” Emperor Longchang swiftly turned his head and strode towards the exit of the Blood Venerate’s ruins, “I don’t have ti to listen to your nonsense right now. Discuss these matters with Emperor Zi’an. Since everything here is settled, I’m going back to tally the Contribution Points with Little Snow. It’s been quite a few days since I played cards, and my hands are itching. Old Jiang, let’s go; you’re in on this round.”
Then, he pulled Jiang Zhencang along, trotting away excitedly despite his age. He really didn’t want to listen to Wang Shouzhe’s lectures anymore.
“Hehe~ Longchang has changed quite a bit over the years…” Jade Spirit True Monarch said, dumbfounded, “I’ve noticed he seems to be a bit afraid of you.”
