Due to the huge dividends from the expansion into the Demonic Realm, the Nanguo family practically became rich overnight. Not only did they aggressively purchase family assets in the county, but they also cultivated over a dozen Spirit Platform seeds, and two Celestial-type youths of the younger generation.One of them is studying at the Ding Ning County School, and is an outstanding student there, reportedly likely to be recommended to join the Tianfu Academy as an elite disciple.
The other is carefully nurtured as the family’s successor, aiming to elevate them into a 7th-rank Aristocratic Family in the future.
This disparity naturally made the Ximen family, who were also eager to grow, turn green with envy.
Missing the first wave of dividends was a foregone conclusion, and it was too late to make up for it, but they were determined to catch the second wave of profit.
Therefore, the Ximen family placed much importance on this opportunity to take part in the large-scale development of the Demonic Realm. Besides Ximen Xuesong, the accompanying family members were also carefully selected.
"Wow~ this waiting room is too luxurious~" A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl blinked her big, clear eyes, looking around curiously, her voice brimming with excitement, "Old Ancestor Xuesong, look at this dome, it’s made of huge panes of glass, so transparent and clear."
The Wang Clan Glass has now become a specialty of the entire Da Qian. Even though the Ximen family is from a remote area, they have used glass products, but they never thought glass could be made so large and with such magnificent structure.
In this vast waiting room, the field of vision is broad, the light is bright, and there is no oppressive atmosphere at all, unknowingly making one’s mood relaxed and happy.
"Mixue." Ximen Xuesong’s expression was somewhat stiff, with a slight tension in his voice, "Do not look around and make random comments, lest you touch upon others’ taboos."
As the new generation Spirit Platform Realm who was carefully cultivated by the Ximen family, Ximen Xuesong appeared to be in his thirties with a slightly weathered appearance, dressed in white robes with a spiritual artifact longsword on his back, somewhat giving off the feel of a ’white-robed swordsman,’ and his appearance was not bad.
This little talent who advanced to the Spirit Platform Realm at the age of sixty, was considered exceptional in the local area, and usually had a somewhat proud mentality, liking to refer to himself as ’Young Master Xuesong.’
But as soon as he arrived at this Boundary Fortress, he became extremely anxious, as even an ordinary staff member here was at the Advanced Stage of Qi Refinement Realm, while the Small Bosses started at the Spirit Platform Realm. Talented Profound Martial cultivators younger and with a higher cultivation base than him were everywhere.
He couldn’t help but be nervous.
"Yes, Old Ancestor Xuesong." Ximen Muxue shrank her neck, not daring to speak further, only glancing around secretly.
In their Ximen family, Old Ancestor Xuesong still held quite a bit of authority. A child like her, who was already sixteen and only at Level Four of the Vital Energy Refining Realm, wouldn’t dare to talk back to Old Ancestor Xuesong.
"Old Chen, I heard your family has applied for another Expansion Order? With so few people in your family, can you manage it all?"
"Haha, turns out it’s Old Liu, fancy meeting you here. Not to hide from you, this time I returned to the ancestral home just to bring some family members over. Now that developing the Demonic Realm has become a trend, more and more people are coming over. If we don’t seize the opportunity to accumulate more farms now, there might not be such opportunities in the future."
The one referred to as "Old Chen" was a cultivator in the Advanced Stage of the Spirit Platform Realm. He was dressed in luxurious brocade robes, adorned with various treasures signifying his status, even wearing a Top Grade Storage Ring worth at least a million Qian Gold.
Such was his demeanor that he seemed to walk with a gust of wind, and who could have thought that Old Chen was once just a marginalized figure in a 7th-rank Aristocratic Family?
Behind him followed dozens of male and female, young and old family members and the head of the household, clearly brought along by him to seek fortune.
"I see you have the same idea."
The cultivator referred to as "Old Liu" was equally "impressive in demeanor," dressed opulently, evidently having returned home in glory once.
He analyzed, "Now that the Wang clan’s second Domain Crossing Ship is about to be commissioned, most of the technology used is reportedly developed by the Wang Clan Research Institute themselves. From this, it’s clear the Wang family hasn’t reduced their development efforts in the Demonic Realm, but rather increased them, making future development in the Demonic Realm promising and full of potential."
"Not just the ’Wanghai,’ a friend told me that the development progress of the Wang clan’s third entirely self-developed Domain Crossing Ship has reached thirty percent, and they’ve even started the fourth one." Old Chen seemed full of information and confidence, "Future development in the Demonic Realm will only heat up, becoming more and more profitable."
The Ximen family group, listening to these old migrants talking spiritedly, observing their authoritative demeanor as they discussed the situation, felt secretly excited and hopeful for the future.
"Huh? What are those spider monsters?"
At this time, Ximen Muxue suddenly widened her eyes, staring at the security checkpoint, evidently discovering something new.
"Little girl, those aren’t spider monsters." Old migrant Old Chen turned his head to glance at the little girl upon hearing this, explaining with a smile, "Those are security puppet spiders produced by the Wang Clan Research Institute. They can quickly check passengers’ identities and whether they’re carrying dangerous weapons, contraband, etc."
"I know about puppets, but... why are they spider-shaped?" Ximen Muxue was curious, but felt a bit creeped out, "It feels kind of gross."
"Haha, I heard that the Rich Young Master of the Wang family and Young Master Ningxi both quite like spider designs. They say spider puppets have good balance, strong mobility, and can easily be equipped with weapons. Additionally, with eight legs, they probably check tickets faster too." Old Chen chuckled, seemingly unconcerned.
