Chapter 607 55: The General Trend! Where Will the Wang Family Go

...Outside the pavilion, the vast Sky River extended into the distance.
Under the sunlight, waves of the Sky River surged, spraying droplets shimmering like crystal fragments. From a distance, it resembled a satin ribbon decked in diamond shards hanging in the sky. Romantic and captivating, it possessed a tremendous power that made one’s heart tremble.
No one knew how long Wang Shouzhe had waited.
Suddenly.
"Boom!"
Long Wuji stepped on the Sky River outside the pavilion, causing it to shatter into a violent rain that fell into the Peace River.
The very next moment.
Long Wuji alighted outside the pavilion as if it was the easiest thing in the world.
His demeanor was relaxed, his expression carefree, as if he had done something insignificant.
Behind him, Jiang Yusong and Third Master Du TianGang, his two confidants, landed as well, flanking Long Wuji, one literate, one martial.
Long Wuji’s long, narrow eyes swept across the scene, then focused on Wang Shouzhe.
He immediately laughed heartily: "I presume this is the renowned Master Shouzhe. I am Long Wuji, invited here by the Family Head himself for some catch-up."
Wang Shouzhe rose to his feet, smiling as warmly as a spring breeze, and saluted: "Master Dragon and other honorable guests have traveled so far, gracing Changning City with your glorious presence. My gratitude is beyond words, so tI can only offer a few cups of spiritual wine to cleanse the dust from all the travel."
"This is my son, Zong’an. Zong’an, quickly pay respects to Master Dragon."
After saying that, he gave Wang Zong’an a glance.
Wang Zong’an immediately stepped forward calmly and saluted: "Junior Wang Zong’an sends respects to Master Dragon."
His posture clearly indicated extensive training. His every move was refined and graceful, showing the extraordinary elegance of an aristocratic son.
"Good, good." Long Wuji was full of praise, "Master Shouzhe truly is fortunate to have such talented children, like a phoenix son and a phoenix daughter."
Then, following protocol, Long Wuji introduced Jiang Yusong and Third Master Du TianGang.
After pleasantries and formalities, Wang Shouzhe invited Long Wuji to sit down. As for Wang Zong’an and Jiang Yusong, they couldn’t sit on equal ground with Wang Shouzhe and Long Wuji, so they stood behind them.
When they sat down, a puppet stepped forward, picked up the Spiritual Gourd, and started to pour wine for them. The wine was as clear as jade, sweet as honey, and the intoxicating aroma filled their noses the moment it touched the cup.
But Long Wuji’s attention was mainly on the puppet.
Although the puppet was incredibly well-crafted, mimicking human movements perfectly and appearing incredibly lifelike, he could tell at a glance that it was not a real person, but a puppet with the power level of a celestial being.
"The Changning Wang Clan truly is profound and mysterious." Long Wuji narrowed his eyes and smiled, speculating, "This celestial realm puppet has quite a bit of refining style of the Tianshu State."
"Master Dragon does indeed deserve his reputation for being well-traveled and discerning." Wang Shouzhe smiled and raised his cup in a toast, "This is a damaged puppet I acquired by chance and had the Tiangong Workshop restore."
"Ha, the Tiangong Workshop’s refining techniques are indeed strong, but their prices are exorbitant." Long Wuji sipped the exquisite wine and said with a hint of teasing, "I’m afraid Master Shouzhe must have bled a lot for it."
"Who can deny it?" Wang Shouzhe also looked pained, "It cost me eight hundred thousand Qian-gold, and that doesn’t even include the maintenance costs. But after all, celestial realm puppets are rare and the Wang Clan lacks high-end combat power, so I had to grit my teeth and let the Tiangong Workshop take a cut. Could it be that Master Dragon also has connections in the Tiangong Workshop?
Can you get a discount?"
"I wish I could." Long Wuji shook his head helplessly while sipping his wine, "Those people in the Tiangong Workshop are very old-fashioned and are immune to persuasion. Their slogan is, ’fix it or not, buy it or not’. In the past few centuries, I have given them ’offerings’ without getting even a tiny discount."
Now that they had a common "enemy", the two men seemed to have a sense of shared animosity. Amid their toasts, they took turns lamenting about the Tiangong Workshop’s "faults".
After a few more rounds of drinks, the two seemed to have become much closer.
"Brother Shouzhe, this Spiritual Gourd of yours is not bad. I’ve only seen it twice in my life." Long Wuji seemed slightly tipsy, and his tone became more casual. "I see you’re not much of a wine lover either. Why not name your price and sell it to an old man like me at a discount?"
"Brother Dragon indeed knows quality when he sees it. This treasure automatically brews high-grade wine. Our Wang Clan reaps thirty thousand Qian-gold from it every year. Over a thousand years, that would be thirty million Qian-gold! I’m willing to offer you a 50% discount, at fifteen million Qian-gold, and sell it to you." Wang Shouzhe poured another cup of wine for him and stated his price.
Upon reflection, Wang Shouzhe also felt a deep sense of wonder.
In the Celestial trial of the Divine Martial Dynasty, he initially disregarded this Spiritual Gourd that could only brew wine. Only after using it did he realize how pleasant it was! As long as it was properly managed, it could endlessly provide steady profits for the family. If calculated over five hundred or a thousand years, its value far surpassed other treasures.
Sure enough, Long Wuji rolled his eyes: "The price is too high, can’t afford it. Master Shouzhe, you better keep it and save your money."
Let alone asking Long Wuji to pay fifteen million Qian-gold all at once, it would also be a challenge for the Qian Family, who carry their wealth in their surname, to come up with that kind of liquid fund.
However, after this exchange, the two seemed to have grown even "closer".
