After arriving at Jade Spring Peak, he called the Twelfth Uncle and the Third Brother to his cave abode and asked, "I'll soon rush to Zhou to bid for the Yin Yang Purple Jade. How many spirit stones does the family have now?"
The Third Brother, Wang Daochang, was still the family leader, so he naturally answered.
Wang Daochang replied, "Now, the family's annual income is more than 500,000 spirit stones. Especially after the establishment of the Administrator's Residence, the family has also reaped a lot of benefits.
Currently, there are more than 1.6 million spirit stones in the treasury. If you take them all out, it's enough to buy two Yin Yang Purple Jades. "
In the past few years, the Administrator's Residence relied on renting the Wang family's flying boat to do business.
Wang Daoyuan raised the rent especially high, and the Wang family earned a lot of spirit stones.
In addition, they sold their family's resources, so the four markets and Oasis could eat as many resources as they wanted.
After they were not afraid of the Netherworld Sect's suppression and expanded their business, the family's income was much higher than before.
Wang Daoyuan waved his hand and said, "Just take one million spirit stones. I have a lot of them myself. I'll go back to the Administrator's Residence and get some more spirit stones.
I'm the only Golden Core cultivator in the Wang family, so I can't buy too many Yin Yang Purple Jades. It'll be good if I can get two.
The main purpose of my trip is to buy some rank four spirit herbs to enrich the family.
I'm the only Golden Core cultivator in the Administrator's Residence.
If I leave, some people might be tempted.
Whether it's the Netherworld Sect, the demons, or half-demons in the north of the mountain, we have to guard against them.
You don't have to worry too much. I've already prepared a backup plan. One or two Golden Core cultivators won't be a problem.
Once someone attacks our Wang family, don't worry about the properties.
Just take out the rank four array disc and guard Jade Spring Peak.
If Jade Spring Peak can't withstand it, then use the escape route and hide in the Heavenly Slash Mountain Range.
As long as we're still alive, we can take back the properties we lost. "
The family had also collected some high-grade spirit stones. In addition to the defensive array disc that Xuan Jiuxiao gave during the Golden Core ceremony, they could still resist Golden Core cultivators for a few hours if they were prepared in advance.
The two of them nodded. After Wang Daochang left for a while, he returned with a storage pouch. "Here are ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones."
Wang Daoyuan took the spirit stones and nodded. "I'll leave the family to you. I'll go to the Governor's Mansion to tell my granduncle something."
After he finished speaking, he left Jade Spring Peak and headed towards Clear Glass City.
Although it hadn't been long since the establishment of the Administrator's Office, it still had a profit of nearly two million a year through the reselling of resources through the two trade routes.
There were still not enough people in the Administrator's Mansion. Their daily expenses were no more than 500,000 to 600,000 spirit stones a year. Rewarding cultivators with meritorious service would also consume some spirit stones.
The Demon Slayers Division still had some surplus and did not need any additional subsidies.
The taxes collected by each market square could bring in two to three hundred thousand spirit stones a year.
After finishing the business with the Underworld Sect, the total profit for a year would be more than one million and five hundred thousand spirit stones.
Wang Daoyuan took four million Spirit Stones from the Administrator's Office. Together with the one million Spirit Stones from his family and the one million Spirit Stones he had on hand, he had more than six million Spirit Stones in total.
He didn't expect to be able to buy any heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It would be a great profit if he could get a few Level Four spiritual plants.
At the Administrator's Mansion, he let the cultivators of the Demon Slayers Division rest for a while.
They didn't want to provoke a Level Four demonic beast while he was away.
At that time, without a Golden Core cultivator, the entire South Yan County would be in danger if they provoked a Level Four demonic beast.
With more than six million Spirit Stones, it wouldn't be a big problem to deal with the auction.
However, he still had to prepare for the exchange after the auction.
Wang Daoyuan had a lot of good things in his hands, such as the Five Elements Spiritual Fire and the remaining Earth Essence from refining the Kirin Seal.
Among the Level Four spiritual plants, there were the Yellow Spring Willow and the Blood Fire Hibiscus.
Any one of them could make a group of people go crazy. However, there weren't many things he was willing to take out for exchange.
After thinking about it, the only things he was willing to take out were some Level Four Hidden Cloud Tea, Level Four Low-grade Heaven Demon Gold, and the Level Four Mid-grade Taiyi Gold Essence that contained the Taiyi Golden Flame.
The White Tiger Blade was already a Level Four Low-grade magic weapon. The Heaven Demon Gold was useless, and the Level Four Mid-grade Taiyi Gold Essence didn't need much. He could take out half of each.
In addition, he could also take out some Face Retaining Pills.
These things weren't very useful. Wang Daoyuan just casually planted a few in the corner of the spiritual pearl space.
Half of the refined Face Retaining Pills were snatched away by Zhou Luan.
For male Golden Core cultivators, the Face Retaining Pills weren't worth many Spirit Stones.
However, for female cultivators, they were no different from heavenly materials and earthly treasures. They could be used to scam the Wind Snow God Palace.
By arousing the interest of these people, the family could produce Face Retaining Pills on a large scale in the future and sell them specifically to them.
The Wind Snow God Palace was a cold place. It was good for cultivating ice-attribute cultivation techniques, but it was impossible for them to grow ordinary spiritual plants.
He wasn't afraid of them growing Face Retaining Pills on a large scale. This business could be done in the long run.
After waiting in the Clear Glass Market for three days, a Level Four Low-grade flying warship came north along the Clear Glass River.
Wang Daoyuan flew into the sky on a cloud to welcome the flying warship.
The warship hovered above the Clear Glass Market. A late-stage Violet Palace Realm cultivator wearing a red robe stood at the bow of the ship. He cupped his hands towards Wang Daoyuan and said, "Greetings, Senior Wang. This junior is under the orders of the Crown Prince to welcome senior to the Zhou Empire to participate in the auction."
Wang Daoyuan recognized this person. He had seen him in the Hidden Dragon County of the Zhou Empire when he was a late-stage Violet Palace Realm cultivator.
This person was Zhou Jingkai, the nephew of the Zhou Emperor and the younger cousin of the Zhou Emperor.
Wang Daoyuan returned the greeting and said, "Zhou Daoyou, there's no need to be so polite. You and I are old acquaintances. We can call each other as equals."
Zhou Jingkai could also be considered a nephew, but it wasn't good to say this out loud.
This child had come from afar, and he couldn't put on airs as an uncle.
The two exchanged a few words, and Wang Daoyuan boarded the warship and left the Clear Glass Market.
A Level Four Low-grade flying warship was worthy of being called a magic artifact that could fight against early-stage Aurous Core cultivators.
Its speed was around eight thousand kilometers in two hours, which was faster than most early-stage Aurous Core cultivators flying on clouds.
Wang Daoyuan used his spiritual sense to scan the outer shell of the warship, as well as the magic artifacts that came with it.
He estimated that with his strength, it would take him at least an hour to take down this flying warship.
Ordinary early-stage Aurous Core cultivators like Gu Wangzong wouldn't be able to fight against this flying warship.
In the Three River Market, the warship also met the Netherworld Sect's Grand Elder Zhong Zhenyang.
The Netherworld Sect naturally also wanted to participate in the auction. When he saw Wang Daoyuan board the flying warship, he shamelessly boarded the ship.
This fellow chatted and laughed with Wang Daoyuan along the way, almost becoming sworn brothers.
Those who didn't know would really think that the two had a good relationship.
After two or three days, the flying warship arrived at the capital of Zhou State.
The location of Chengzhou County was roughly in the center of the territories of various states.
Before the hegemony of various states, Zhou State's strength was not inferior to the four top forces, and it was also one of the holy lands of the human race.
The capital allowed Aurous Core cultivators to fly, but not flying warships.
The flying warship stopped more than ten miles outside the east gate of the capital, and Wang Daoyuan and Zhong Zhenyang rode a cloud and left the flying warship.
Zhou Jingkai ordered people to drive the flying warship elsewhere, while he stayed on Wang Daoyuan's cloud and entered the capital.
Zhou State really liked phoenixes, and the gate of the capital was carved with phoenix patterns.
Zhou Jingkai led the two to the Qingtong Pavilion in the south of the city, which was a place to entertain foreign guests.
This Qingtong Pavilion was really a gathering of Aurous Core cultivators. As soon as they entered, dozens of spiritual senses swept over, and more than ten of them belonged to Aurous Core cultivators.
Wang Daoyuan's spiritual sense cultivation was also outstanding among middle-stage Aurous Core cultivators, but it was not as good as late-stage Aurous Core cultivators.
If a late-stage Aurous Core cultivator deliberately hid their spiritual sense fluctuations when spying, he really couldn't find it.
In this Qingtong Pavilion, there should be more than twenty Aurous Core cultivators at this time.
There were still more than ten days before the auction, and most of the Aurous Core forces hadn't arrived yet. When the auction came, it should be more lively.
