Protect Our Chief

"There’s no need to worry about this, Saint Master." Wang Shouzhe said sternly.

As the Wang Family continued to grow and prosper, their fate became intertwined with the Lingyun Sacred Land and the Daqian Kingdom.

Not only do many members of the Wang Family develop within the Sacred Land and the Daqian Imperial Court, but the possibility of his daughter or granddaughter becoming the future Master of the Sacred Land is quite high. If either of these entities truly encounter a major crisis, how could the Wang Family remain untouched?

Lingyun Sacred Land is aware of this and thus consented to sell the precious inheritance of the [Cyan Emperor True Technique] to Wang Shouzhe.

Of course, this is only one reason.

On the other hand, it’s also because the Wang Family has shown astonishing potential, with Wang Shouzhe being the absolute leader and central figure of the family.

Supporting Wang Shouzhe is equivalent to enhancing the overall strength of Lingyun Sacred Land and Daqian. The best scenario is to not need it, but if it’s needed, that extra strength might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Who can say for sure?

If not for these considerations, no matter how wealthy the Wang Family is, Lingyun Sacred Land wouldn’t give them a second look.

"Then let’s settle this matter." Jiang Zhencang smiled.

Ever since Wang Shouzhe accepted the inheritance, it was as if he became half a disciple of the Sacred Land, which made Jiang Zhencang’s attitude towards him more amiable.

After discussing Wang Shouzhe’s inheritance, the conversation turned to the matter concerning Wang Ningxi.

Jiang Zhencang called Wang Yingxuan and Ning Xi to come in, personally checking Ning Xi’s shattered meridians and broken Qi Sea.

A moment later, he frowned deeply: "It’s truly remarkable that this child survived. It must have cost a lot to save him, right? Difficult, really too difficult. Shouzhe, instead of spending so much effort saving him, it would be more worthwhile for your great-grandson to have more children."

Wang Ningxi’s expression stiffened, as if a thousand horses galloped through his heart.

Even though you’re the current Saint Master, have you considered the feelings of the person involved when saying this?

However, although Jiang Zhencang’s words were unpleasant, they actually represent the common thoughts of countless noble families.

Total resources are limited and collective. To spend enormous resources and effort on a child whose bloodline aptitude is wasted, it’s not cost-effective from any angle.

If these resources and efforts can be used to cultivate more outstanding children, it would be better.

Don’t be fooled by Emperor Longchang’s seeming favoritism towards her children, because they are genuinely excellent. In fact, the descendants of Emperor Longchang are already innumerable, and the less outstanding ones may never get to meet the Emperor in their lifetime...

And Jiang Zhencang is no different.

Having lived for more than three thousand years, what situation hasn’t he seen? He doesn’t even bother with the incompetent Celestial Mansion Jiang Family.

It’s just that Wang Shouzhe is a Transmigrator, whose thoughts greatly differ from theirs, plus the Wang Family’s overall resources are relatively abundant nowadays. That’s why he can afford to spend significant effort on Wang Ningxi.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate." Wang Shouzhe gently touched Wang Ningxi’s head, feeling a little distressed, "Ningxi has been smart and obedient since childhood. If given a chance, we should try to save him. If he can recover fully, he might become a pillar of humanity in the future."

"Ancestor Grandpa." Wang Ningxi’s eyes moistened slightly, "It’s okay if there’s no way, I can do some basic research for the clan’s industry. In any case, I hope to earn back the resources the clan lost."

"Don’t speak nonsense, since Saint Master Jiang called you here, it’s likely he has some method." Wang Shouzhe said, "You’ll have plenty of opportunities to give back to the family in the future."

"Yes, Ancestor Grandpa." Wang Ningxi nodded firmly, "No matter if I can be cured or not, I am a part of the Wang Family."

"Alright, considering how hard you’re working, Shouzhe, I will contribute my meager efforts." Jiang Zhencang said, "I have already had someone review ancient cases related to this in the Saint Land Scripture Pavilion and indeed found a few similar cases recorded."

"In these cases, because the family was prosperous, the children received timely treatment during the onset of illness, similar to Ningxi’s situation. However, in two of these instances, a treatment method was not found, and the family ultimately chose to give up."

"The only one who was cured was a descendant of the then Immortal Court Master of the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty, [Supreme Profound Immortal Venerable], nineteen thousand years ago. Supreme Profound Immortal Venerable personally intervened, expending a significant amount of Immortal Spirit Qi, using immortal techniques to extract the severely conflicting bloodline, saving that descendant. Fortunately, that child turned out to be quite resilient, eventually reaching the Lingxu Realm, not letting the efforts of Supreme Profound Immortal Venerable go to waste."

"..."

Wang Shouzhe and Wang Ningxi, the ancestor and great-grandson, were speechless.

True Immortal intervention... can that be considered a method?

Isn’t this a joke? What capital does the Wang Family have to enlist the help of a True Immortal from the Immortal Dynasty?

Moreover, our own Lixian has already tried, with her weak Immortal Spirit Qi, the efficacy is extremely limited. Even if a True Immortal intervened, it would likely require a large expenditure of effort, a cost that the Wang Family simply cannot afford right now.

"If that’s the case, maybe it’s better to forget it." Wang Ningxi shook his head and said, "It’s too difficult to ask a True Immortal to intervene."

"Indeed, it’s quite difficult." Jiang Zhencang said frankly, "The master of the Immortal Dynasty is too important to the entire Human Race, and once too much is expended, resulting in a weakened state, it’s easy for enemies to take advantage."

"So today, let’s discus another approach. Shouzhe, do you know the True Immortal called ’Blood Venerable’ from the Divine Martial Dynasty period?"
