Chapter 2548: Fragrant Jade Holy Concubine vs. Wang Shouzhe
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
...Tianrui Holy Dynasty Divine Treasure Branch Palace.
In the reception room specially used for entertaining honorable guests, there is a flurry of activity.
The luxurious glass lamps emit bright light. Young and beautiful maids step gracefully across the stairs, carrying either tea sets for brewing immortal tea or holding fruits and desserts, placing them neatly on the tables in the reception room.
Next to the table, a young gentleman in white clothes leisurely enjoys a snack while sitting in a chair.
The maids serve him in the most humble and appropriate manner, speaking softly.
"Young Master, your immortal tea, please enjoy."
"Young Master, this is a new snack from the Drunken Immortal Building this month, please enjoy."
This young gentleman in white is Wang Shouzhe.
Nowadays, Wang Shouzhe is already an "old customer" of the Divine Treasure Hall.
Since he came to the Sacred Domain decades ago, he has swiftly risen to become the top spender of the Divine Treasure Hall’s Tianrui Sub-Hall [Annual], surpassing both the second place [Lvqiu Clan] and third place [Si Family] by a considerable margin.
"Shouzhe is here."
Soon, Lord Dongfang Zhenyuan, who received the news, hurriedly came over and greeted Wang Shouzhe warmly.
The Divine Treasure Hall widely collects rare treasures from all over the world, aimed primarily at generating wealth and gathering resources. A major customer like Wang Shouzhe, who spends so lavishly, is certainly adored by everyone.
Dongfang Zhenyuan’s attitude towards him is naturally extremely favorable.
"Lord Dongfang."
Wang Shouzhe returned the greetings and after some small talk, he got straight to the point: "How is the situation with the purchase of spirit veins I commissioned you?"
The Divine Treasure Hall, a longstanding and extensive commercial organization, has annexes in each "Dao" of the Sacred Dynasty and surrounding Immortal Dynasties, far beyond this one in Tianrui Holy Dynasty. Their source of information is extensive, incomparable to other forces, and their ability to purchase various treasures is naturally unparalleled.
"Young Master Shouzhe." Dongfang Zhenyuan said with a smile, "Purchasing spirit veins is a long-term plan, which cannot be rushed. Generally speaking, unless in special circumstances like family decline, a prominent family seldom sells spirit veins. We need to proceed step by step, seizing any opportunity that arises."
Spirit veins are the foundation of a family and are rarely sold, even if sold, the prices are extraordinarily high. In the Sacred Domain, for spirit veins of the third grade or below, the sale-to-production ratio often reaches a thousand to one.
This means a spirit vein that can open a hundred acres of Spirit Field, will be sold at a price often a thousand times the annual profit of those hundred acres.
This concept is vastly different from on Earth.
The main reason is that spirit veins and fields can be inherited from generation to generation, and the long-lasting duration of prominent families. For those families lasting thousands or even tens of thousands of years, breaking even after a thousand years and then starting to profit isn’t unacceptable.
Concerning spirit veins of the third grade or above, the higher the rank, the higher the sale-to-production ratio. The prices of Rank Six and Rank Seven spirit veins are frighteningly high, and Eighth Grade spirit veins are extremely rare, each carrying a sky-high price, often costing several Chaos Spirit Stones.
And what Wang Shouzhe wants is a large number of low-grade spirit veins.
Over the years, as he continuously improved the low-grade spirit rice, its annual yield and quality are gradually increasing, along with the improvement of farming techniques. The current production efficiency has far surpassed that of various countries in the Sacred Domain. Under the same circumstances, while the Sacred Domain here takes a thousand years to break even, in the Divine Martial World, it barely takes several hundred years.
Though several hundred years may sound long, Wang Shouzhe has only lived for over four hundred years now, yet from a long-term perspective, it is just a blink of an eye.
"If that’s the case, then I’ll continue to trouble the Hall Master with the long-term acquisition." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "I have actually come to bid farewell to the Hall Master. Family members will follow up afterwards and handle the specific matters of this transaction."
"Young Master is leaving?" Dongfang Zhenyuan was greatly surprised but soon became understanding, "That’s indeed right, someone with Young Master’s status can’t possibly settle in one place for long during their travels. Don’t worry, no matter who the representative is, our Divine Treasure Hall will do our utmost to assist."
Years have passed, and sharp merchants like Dongfang Zhenyuan can naturally guess that Wang Shouzhe must possess a potential and decent food production base.
Though it’s unclear how Young Master Shouzhe acquired it, as long as there’s such a food production base at hand, expanding production capacity and acquiring spirit veins are perfectly reasonable.
In planting industries like spirit rice and spiritual medicine, the competition is not for a momentary gain but for a steady long-term plan.
Wang Shouzhe thanked him again politely, then took out a jar of immortal tea as a farewell gift: "It’s not like I’m leaving and won’t come back. After all these years, I’ve established some foundation in Tianrui, so I’ll visit occasionally, and Mu Xian will handle things here on my behalf."
Dongfang Zhenyuan warmly accepted the gift and teasingly remarked to Wang Shouzhe: "With such a stunning beauty as Immortal Jiang, wouldn’t Young Master take her to travel with you? Heh heh, is it because you’re worried about the main wife from the marriage agreement causing trouble?"
Dongfang Zhenyuan knows that a prominent young master like Wang Shouzhe cannot escape the word "marriage," especially one as outstanding as him. Most likely, it won’t be a "high marries low." "Strong alliances" are the way to go.
Based on normal assumptions, with Young Master Shouzhe’s status, the future main wife must at least come from a noble background at Saintess level, eventually qualifying as a Sacred Supreme level main wife.
