Protect Our Chief-Chapter 634 - 65: Feifei! You can’t beat her

...

In fact, Wang Liyao is not lacking in resources at the moment.

After all, her identity as the Great Celestial Pride direct disciple of Celestial River Zhenren grants her the highest level of treatment among the direct disciples at the Academy.

However, the Academy also has its rules. Every piece of resource is supplied according to rank, with its own limits. If one wishes to obtain more resources to speed up their cultivation, they have to undertake some Academy tasks to earn extra academic credits.

In addition, the Changning Wang Family also provides a substantial subsidy for Liyao, to help her grow quickly.

The attitude of the Southern Desert Wang Family is also very clear, which is to invest in Wang Liyao for the long term. Once she grows to the Divine Power Realm in the future and remembers the current favor, the Southern Desert Wang Family will thus have a strong backing, giving them more confidence for development.

Wang Zonghao, seeing Wang Shouzhe’s silence, continued to persuade, "Fourth Uncle Shouzhe may not be very clear about the growth rate of the Great Celestial Pride in the future. Let me explain it to you. The vast majority of Great Celestial Prides, as long as they grow smoothly, will advance to the Celestial Human Realm before the age of sixty and to the Purple Mansion Realm within two hundred years."

"But unlike ordinary Celestial Prides of the Purple Mansion kind, whose ultimate goal is only the Purple Mansion Realm, every Great Celestial Pride’s ultimate goal is to advance to the Divine Power Realm. Therefore, in the early stages, of course, the faster the cultivation speed, the better. Otherwise, if there’s any delay or accident in the future, it can easily affect their path to divine techniques."

"If resources are sufficiently abundant, Liyao can attempt to break through to the Celestial Human Realm around the age of forty-five and to the Purple Mansion Realm at one hundred and fifty. In this way, she will have five hundred years to strive for the Divine Power Realm, with a greatly increased success rate."

"Assuming Liyao maintains the fastest cultivation speed before the Celestial Human Realm, the average annual consumption would be one hundred thousand Qian Gold; that’s a total expenditure of more than two million Qian Gold. Fortunately, Great Celestial Prides don’t need the ’Immortal Ascension Pill’ to advance to Celestial Human, saving a sum."

"During the Celestial Human Realm, the average annual expenditure for resources is three hundred thousand Qian Gold; for a hundred years, that’s more than thirty million Qian Gold. Plus, the Sixth-Grade Spirit Pill—’Spirit Communication Treasure Pill’ for the Purple Mansion breakthrough, and auxiliary elixirs, which are another five million Qian Gold. Altogether, the expenditure will be about forty million Qian Gold!"

"In just over a hundred years, such a vast amount of funds is needed. Even with the subsidies from the Academy and the family, plus her own earnings from tasks in the Outer Domain Battlefield, it is still tight."

Several tens of millions of Qian Gold?

Wang Shouzhe had previously estimated the resources needed for a Great Celestial Pride to reach the Purple Mansion Realm, and this is much more than he expected.

But then again, the higher the cultivation of a Black Tortoise Cultivator, the greater the daily cultivation consumption. In this regard, the Southern Desert Wang Family, being a Purple Mansion Family, certainly has more experience, so their estimates would naturally be more accurate.

It’s also fortunate that Celestial River Zhenren will certainly provide some subsidies. With the Academy and family support, the problem isn’t too big.

However, what gives Wang Shouzhe a headache is that the family’s Great Celestial Pride is not just Liyao alone...

Ancestor Longyan is already consuming more than a million Qian Gold a year, and when she reaches the middle or late Celestial Human Realm, the expenses will soar.

Then there’s his wife Liua Ruolan, his legitimate son Wang Zong’an, and himself, Wang Shouzhe... Future cultivation expenses, just thinking about it is astonishing.

Besides, the expenses of other clan members are actually not low. There are quite a few Celestial Pride clan members, and if they want to develop well, resource support is indispensable. Otherwise, even with Celestial Pride talent, they would end up wasted.

Seeing Wang Shouzhe frown, Wang Zonghao thought he was worrying about Liyao’s future development and immediately pressed to persuade, "Although our Southern Desert Wang Family is not wealthy, even if we are poor, we cannot be poor for our own clan’s Great Celestial Pride, right? Letting Sister Liyao run around doing Academy tasks in the early stage, wouldn’t that delay time?"

Seeing what Wang Zonghao said made sense, Wang Shouzhe, in the spirit of saving wherever possible, agreed, "Since that’s the case, I will thank Clan Leader Zonghao on behalf of Liyao."

"As the same Wang Family clan, we ought to support each other, so what’s the point of thanks?" Wang Zonghao’s face lit up with delight, and he added, "As for Sister Liyao, once she reaches the Purple Mansion Realm and wants to challenge the Divine Power Realm, the resources needed are even more colossal. By then, even if combining the forces of our Southern Desert and Changning clans, it might still be unaffordable. Fourth Uncle Shouzhe, I suggest you go to the Capital City early and find a way to get the support of the main line."

Wang Shouzhe agreed deeply, "If there is an opportunity to go to the Capital City, naturally I will visit the main line of the Daqian Wang Family."

Actually, what Wang Zonghao said is quite reasonable. Having a Great Celestial Pride in the family is indeed a tremendous good fortune. However, supporting a Great Celestial Pride to the Divine Power Realm is by no means an easy task.

Similar situations where several related families came together to support a Great Celestial Pride have occurred a few times in history, albeit not very commonly. After all, every Divine Power Realm expert is a pillar of the nation, and these investments are worthwhile.

There have even been several instances where multiple related noble families pooled resources to support a Divine Power Realm expert, and subsequently, they merged into one family, directly elevating to a Third-Grade Noble Family.

However, Wang Shouzhe firmly believes that once the family’s Great Celestial Pride reaches the Purple Mansion Realm and proceeds towards the Divine Power Realm, the annual income of the Changning Wang Family will certainly be far more than just a few million it is today.

Seeing Wang Shouzhe agree to the proposal, Wang Zonghao and Wang Dingxin became more affectionate in their attitude toward him.
