"The two most commonly seen fire element cash crops on the market are called Red Crystal Spirit Rice and Flame Lotus. Their overall economic benefits are roughly the same. The former is most suitable for the daily spiritual food consumption of Black Tortoise Practitioners with fire element bloodlines and can be harvested once a year. The latter ripens every few years and can produce Fire Lotus Seeds, which are in large demand as a fire spiritual medicine," said Wang Xiaohan. "Of course, as an economic crop, it’s better to produce only one kind to make production management and experience accumulation easier." Wang Xiaohan is a Spirit Plant Elder, and his advice is very practical. What is a cash crop? It is a crop with the highest input-output ratio. Moreover, since it’s commonly seen in the market, it must be a crop with a high level of domestication throughout human history and widely planted. It would be much easier to obtain seeds and a complete set of planting techniques. Just like White Jade Orchid Spirit Rice, which is a Spirit Seed with a very high domestication level. It’s simple to plant, has high yields, and is widely known in the human world. Besides meeting one’s family’s daily consumption needs, surplus produce is also very easy to sell. In fact, if the Vermilion Fruit is dug up and sold, and all the land is used to plant cash crops, the final economic rate of return would definitely be much higher. However, the Vermilion Fruit is rare, and once the family completes its development, its usefulness becomes significant. The economic value may be slightly lower, but it’s considered part of the foundation accumulation. The only problem is the Array Master! Array Master is a highly sought-after profession. Each family and clan cannot develop without an Array Master. However, most declining families do not have a dedicated Array Master of their own, and have to hire one externally whenever a new array needs constructing. It is said that Cousin Lua Xiaoxiao has the talent to be an Array Master, but she has just started to get in touch with the arrays and lacks the accumulated experience to be of much use. Among the allied families, aside from the Changning Xu Family, none have an Array Master. But Wang Shouzhe does not wish to publicize this fire spiritual vein of middle-grade quality, so he must carefully think through the hiring of an Array Master. Everyone, filled with excitement and hope, first sealed this treasure land until everything was properly arranged before activating it. With that matter concluded, Wang Shouzhe and his party temporarily left Xingsheng Farm. The Spirit Rats in the Spirit Field were basically cleared out and within a short time couldn’t cause any trouble again. Therefore, Wang Lici and the young tiger must also be brought back to the main residence. After all, after the girl swallowed the Vermilion Fruit, she needed Ancestor Longyan to assist her in her cultivation. And Sixth Grandfather Wang Xiaohan also temporarily returned to the main residence. He had just been promoted and his foundation was still somewhat unstable, requiring consolidation and guidance from Ancestor Longyan. Ancestor Longyan has been in the Spirit Platform Realm for over eighty years, with extremely rich experience. Inside the black canopy boat. Wang Shouzhe apologized to Wang Xiaohan, saying, "Sixth Grandfather, I truly apologize about the Spirit Platform Banquet." Someone reaching the Spirit Platform Realm in the family is a big event usually announced to other families, with a Spirit Platform Banquet held. Its excitement would even compare to Wang Shouzhe’s future wedding banquet. This is an opportunity to raise the family’s prestige and show strength. Moreover, for a Black Tortoise Practitioner, it is the most honorable time in their life, and just receiving gifts could bring a small fortune. However, Wang Shouzhe has his own considerations and plans, and it is indeed not the right time to hold a Spirit Platform Banquet. "Haha, Shouzhe, there’s no need to apologize repeatedly. This lifetime is already worth it for your Sixth Grandfather!" Wang Xiaohan laughed heartily, "Let alone postponing it, even if it’s to make Sixth Grandfather the family’s hidden trump card all lifelong, it would be fine. Moreover, Sixth Grandfather particularly admires your pragmatic and non-vain character." "Of course, that won’t happen," Wang Shouzhe said with a smile. "When it’s appropriate for Sixth Grandfather to make an appearance, I promise to hold a grand Spirit Platform Banquet for him, and there might even be a chance for a Celestial Human Banquet in the future." "That’s not something I dare indulge in," Wang Xiaohan quickly waved his hands. Just the thought of the Celestial Human Realm felt too distant and uncertain for him. Having the opportunity to advance to the Spirit Platform Realm already filled him with immense satisfaction. Wang Shouzhe merely smiled, saying nothing more. As the black canopy boat made its way towards Zhuwei Lake, it passed by the large construction sites on both sides. The scale of the construction sites was getting larger and larger. Silt-carrying boats moved continuously in the waterways, and along both banks, numerous workers were building sheds, filling earth, and making paths. Besides the busy silt-carrying boats, there were also some passenger boats traveling the waterways. These passenger boats carried people dressed fairly well, appearing to be quite wealthy. As soon as they arrived at the temporary docks, a servant in clean attire greeted them, looking quite smart: "Welcome, lords, to the first phase of the construction site of Zhuwei Mansion. I am the welcoming servant, Ouyang Junyan." Wang Shouzhe’s black canopy boat happened to pass by this scene, and he stopped a moment to take a look. This was, after all, crucial to his grand plan for wealth accumulation. "Ouyang Junyan?" a chubby young man said, "I recognize you. You’re Gousheng from Liuzigou in our neighboring village. Your family was poor and had nothing to eat when you were little, and you came to our village to beg for food, which got you a beating from me. Ouyang Gousheng, how dare you make up a name and attempt to deceive here." At these words, a commotion arose around them, and the expression on the faces of those affluent individuals changed. "Oh, so it’s Zhang Tiedan," Ouyang Junyan’s eyes became stern, and he said sharply, "Zhang Tiedan, watch your words. My new name was personally given to me by Miss Six. I, Junyan, am highly regarded by Miss Six, selling future properties and fields of Zhuwei Mansion here. How could this be deception?" His aura was imposing. Causing Zhang Tiedan’s face to change instantly, he said in a low voice, "Miss Six, which Miss Six?" "Naturally, Sixth Miss of the Wang Family’s Lu Generation, Miss Wang Luqiu! I’m personally chosen as her reception servant," Ouyang Junyan’s eyes were full of pride and arrogance. "If you’re unsatisfied with my name, feel free to leave." This name rendered the affluent households silent, looking at each other with awe on their faces. The name of Wang Luqiu of the Wang Family’s Lu Generation echoed throughout Ping’an Town. At the tender age of eleven, she easily defeated the legitimate son of the Liu Family and claimed she was unbeatable among those under sixteen! Such a high-profile figure has become an idol for many young people in Ping’an Town. Moreover, she is a lady of the Wang Family’s Lu Generation, and the sixth sister of the current Wang Family Patriarch, Wang Shouzhe. "Gousheng—no, Junyan, I was wrong." Zhang Tiedan suddenly showed deference, his face filled with flattery, "I always knew from a young age that you, Junyan, were destined to be extraordinary. Now you’ve become Sixth Miss Wang’s confidant, even getting a new name from her. You’ve soared to great heights. Our Zhang Family will buy Zhuwei Mansion." Ouyang Junyan, however, remained calm and collected, saying flatly, "I wouldn’t dare call myself Sixth Miss’s confidant. As Junyan, I’m just a servant she promoted casually. As for Zhuwei Mansion, it’s not something anyone can buy at will." "The first phase of our Zhuwei Mansion is located along the Zhuwei Water Dao. On the right, it adjoins the famous Zhuwei Lake, and on the left, it overlooks the Wang Family’s ancestral grand geomantic estate, Xingsheng Farm, while being distantly opposite the main residence of the Wang Family’s millennial legacy," Ouyang Junyan said with increasing pride. "Such a unique geomantic treasure that can be passed down through generations isn’t something any random person can buy. To buy the first phase, one must have purchasing qualifications. Zhang Tiedan, do you think money alone is enough?" "Yes yes, Junyan is right to reprimand," Zhang Tiedan nodded humbly, his face full of flattery, "Please, in light of us growing up together, do provide some convenience." Newest update provıded by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩 "We’ll see. There needs to be qualification reviews," Ouyang Junyan said flatly, "It’s not solely my decision on some matters." With these words, the wealthy people became even more expectant, each face filled with both reverence and hope. Just as they prepared to approach and establish ties with Ouyang Gousheng—no, Ouyang Junyan— A commotion sounded from afar. "Sixth Miss is here; Sixth Miss is inspecting the construction site." "No onlookers! Get back to work immediately.""Everyone, put in a good performance, let Sixth Miss see the spirit of our Fifth Brigade.""Sixth Miss is here; anyone looking to embarrass me will get it from me." The foremen of each construction team began roaring one after another. Such a scene left Wang Shouzhe utterly dumbfounded. Since when did our Luqiu have such prestige?
