Protect Our Clan Leader - Chapter 2932

Chapter 2932: Chapter 53: Wang Shouzhe Convinces the Taoist Master with Logic (Part 3)

“Do you think our Dao Palace doesn’t want to?” Taoist Master Taichu glared and said, “We’ve deployed a total of two Rank 9 Spirit Veins to cultivate Void Dao Yuan Fruits, with the assistance of a Wood-Type Sacred Supreme and auxiliary spirit-enhancing Sacred Artifacts. Even then, it takes tens of thousands of years to mature a single fruit. Therefore, our Dao Palace can now gather two furnaces every ten thousand years.”

The auxiliary spirit-enhancing Sacred Artifacts must be akin to the existence of [Yimu Creation Bottle, Green Xiaoyi]. Without the Sacred Supreme’s assistance, the spirit-enhancing Sacred Artifacts can still work, but their efficiency cannot match when paired with a Wood-Type Sacred Supreme.

“So here lies the problem.” Wang Shouzhe rapidly calculated, “Based on Taoist Master Taiyang’s purchase price of sixty Chaos Spirit Stones per Dao Yuan Fruit, the annual production value of each micro Rank 9 Spirit Vein for the Dao Palace is merely zero-point-six Immortal Spirit Stones, totaling sixty top-quality Spirit Stones?”

“What do you mean by merely?” Taoist Master Taichu said discontentedly, “It’s just that a Wood-Type Sacred Supreme occasionally uses Sacred Artifacts for spirit-enhancing, while most of the time, the Sacred Artifacts manage it autonomously. There’s no real investment; these are all resources picked up for free, okay? You better not belittle…”

Before finishing the sentence, Taoist Master Taichu swallowed back the remaining words.

He suddenly remembered.

The Wang family gives each of the three daughters-in-law an income of precisely sixty top-quality Spirit Stones as pocket money.

Alright, Wang Shouzhe indeed has the right to speak lightly.

It’s really annoying, these smooth-talking gigolos, especially the rich ones.

“What does Master Shouzhe wish to express?” Taoist Master Taichu said grumpily, “Wants to show off how wealthy the Wang family is again?”

In truth, the scale and foundation of the Primordial Taoist Palace far exceed those of the Wang family.

It’s just that the Primordial Taoist Palace is vast and numerous, with an immense number of Sacred Supremes and True Immortals, and a substantial portion of resources and manpower are allocated for national defense. For instance, at the Void Sea battlefield or several other critical locations.

“No,” Wang Shouzhe said honestly, “I’m just lamenting that the annual yield of the Rank 9 Spirit Veins is too low, the production efficiency is too low, leading to the waste of top-tier resources.”

Taoist Master Taichu was almost infuriated to death by him: “Master Shouzhe, please don’t be too arrogant. Our family’s Sacred Supreme Spirit Plant Masters have very advanced spirit-enhancing methods. If it were wild Void Dao Yuan Fruits, it might not mature in hundreds of thousands to millions of years. If you’re capable, why don’t you give it a try.”

“Shouzhe has to guard the family and definitely has no time to work at the Dao Palace.” Wang Shouzhe shook his head, then his tone suddenly became solemn, “However, if the Dao Palace is willing to sell a Rank 9 Spirit Vein, we are willing to pay 400 Chaos Spirit Stones or offer an equivalent exchange.”

“What?” Taoist Master Taichu was stunned, “You want to pay 400 Chaos Spirit Stones to buy a micro Rank 9 Spirit Vein?”

With Hongzhen’s private wealth and belongings combined, it might not even be possible to gather 400 Chaos Spirit Stones.

Of course, this refers to private property.

After all, he sometimes has to subsidize declining native families or privately give some extra allowances to various disciples or for other personal uses; it’s inappropriate to use Dao Palace assets.

But even so, Wang Shouzhe’s calm attitude when mentioning 400 Chaos Spirit Stones still provokes him significantly.

“As long as the elder is willing to sell, I’m willing to buy,” Wang Shouzhe said indifferently, “Funding is not an issue, I can arrange it.”

For the Wang family, pooling such a large cash flow is also strenuous. Naturally, holding such a large fund without investing it to produce more benefits is inappropriate. However, given time, it is possible to produce this amount.

“The price is quite high, but I’m not selling.” Taoist Master Taichu waved his hand, “It is a Dao Palace asset. The Dao Palace hasn’t declined to the point of needing to sell its assets, nor is it necessary.”

Resources like Rank 9 Spirit Veins are not easy to acquire. Not to mention, the fourth Rank 9 Spirit Vein in the Dao Palace was forcibly seized by his master who personally led a team to the Void Sea and overpowered another group of aliens who discovered the Spirit Cave Spirit Veins simultaneously.

After all, the need for Spirit Caves in the Void Sea does not pertain only to humans, an intelligent species.

Such top-tier resources are, after all, strategic resources that intelligent species in the Void Sea will break their heads to compete for.

He would be foolish to sell it.

Wang Shouzhe seemed to have anticipated that the other party wouldn’t be willing to sell, remaining calm and continuing, “In that case, how about our Wang family renting a Rank 9 Spirit Vein? We’ll rent it for ten thousand years, paying 1.2 Immortal Spirit Stones annually, equating to 120 Chaos Spirit Stones over ten thousand years. This revenue would double the Dao Palace’s from planting. If this still doesn’t work, we could pay a contract fee of three Void Dao Yuan Fruits every ten thousand years.”

The circuitous suggestion is simply a mere psychological technique, proposing something excessive first, followed by something achievable.

It is only now that Wang Shouzhe truly reveals his intentions.

“…”

Taoist Master Taichu looked at Wang Shouzhe with astonishment.

To say whether this proposal is tempting, of course, it is exceedingly enticing.

Just the proposal of 120 Chaos Spirit Stones per ten thousand years was enough to move him. If the contract fee could be exchanged for three Void Dao Yuan Fruits, it would be pure profit~~

In their Dao Palace, two Rank 9 Spirit Veins only produce two Dao Yuan Fruits every ten thousand years; if they lease it entirely to Wang Shouzhe, wouldn’t they receive six fruits? This way, he could practice four furnaces more every ten thousand years…
