In fact, Wang Shouzhe also performed this operation with a try-it-out mentality.

Of course, being addicted to gambling on stones is wrong, but if Wang Licui truly has some inexplicably bizarre talent, then it would be utilizing his talent to pick up leaks, and this might not be an accidental windfall to supplement the family’s resources.

It’s almost like those golden pupil type novels he read in his previous life.

The Wang clan is too poor, so poor that Longyan Old Ancestor had to sell his personal spiritual artifact, the Turtle Scale Treasure Shield, to gather a sum of resources. Especially that third-level Spirit Pill, the Creation Pill, it’s too expensive, a whole thousand Qian Gold for one piece.

It seems like being an alchemist is the most lucrative profession in this world.

However, if an alchemist wants to achieve something, his talent requirements are very high. Moreover, the initial investment in training an alchemist is absolutely outrageously expensive, and it is possible to go bankrupt if you are not careful.

But if a clan wants to make a lot of progress, the training of an alchemist is unavoidable.

Enough of the idle talk for now.

Wang Shouzhe and Old Ancestor Longyan once again entered the cultivation mode.

By the evening, when Wang Shouzhe came out of his meditation, Wang Licui and the head of household had already returned. This time they didn’t bring back three gambling stones, but a football-sized stone.

“Fourth Uncle, there isn’t anything yummy in the other small stones, only this big one has something yummy.” Wang Licui, eager for praise, handed over a big stone.

Her words really were a messy jumble.

“Master,” Wang Zhong explained, “we accompanied Miss Licui for half a day and Miss Licui picked this one. After haggling, it cost 45 Qian Gold, and I and Wang Yong pooled 15 Qian Gold.”

“You all worked hard.” Wang Shouzhe paid back the Qian Gold that the head of household contributed, and let Wang Zhong cut it open.

This time, Wang Zhong got a rasp, and he gently filed along the skin to avoid wasting half a spirit stone.

Wang Shouzhe watched on the side, and couldn’t help but feel nervous, this unremarkable broken stone cost a full 45 Qian Gold. If the gamble failed, it would all be flushed down the drain.

Soon, Wang Zhong had filed off two or three centimeters of skin, exposing a material like white jade crystal inside, and he was overjoyed: “Congratulations, Master, the value has increased, greatly increased.”

It really worked…

Even with Wang Shouzhe’s state of mind, he couldn’t help but feel excited, feeling light and airy all over. It must be admitted that gambling, as a thing, gives people a great thrill, no wonder it’s so hard to quit once you become addicted.

It seems that when we go back this time, we must increase the intensity of the family law again. The younger generation of the family must absolutely not develop a gambling addiction.

However, this big girl’s talent is quite terrifying, she has completely transcended the concept of “gambling”. She is purely relying on her inexplicable talent as a foodie, confident that there are spirit stones in this stone.

This is completely different from gambling, it’s simply like picking up money.

Even Wang Shouzhe has to utter a word… it’s heavenly.

Half an hour later.

Wang Zhong filed off all the stone skin, and he had a whole piece of large spirit stone in his hand. If it was cut properly, it was estimated to be about ten standard spirit stones.

Everyone was stunned, and Old Ancestor Longyan was also very surprised.

Wang Licui, through the head of house’s explanation, also understood that although spirit stones can’t be eaten, they are good things and can be exchanged for a lot, a lot of delicious food. She was overjoyed and eagerly looked at Wang Shouzhe, as if she was expecting Fourth Uncle to give her some reward or something.

At this moment, Wang Shouzhe was dumbstruck, and his gaze at Wang Licui became weird.

For this big niece who is heartless and a foodie to reach this step, he was also very strange. Could it be that forcing her to study stimulated her to awaken some sort of unusual potential?

One can’t completely rule out this possibility.

Thinking about the development of the family, Wang Shouzhe’s gaze at Wang Licui became even kinder.

The familiar gaze, the familiar smile.

Wang Licui felt like she has been hit by five thunders, feeling the end of the world is approaching, what’s the point of living like this?

Tears, they fell uncontrollably.

“Alright, alright, I was just teasing you.” Wang Shouzhe smiled and pinched her chubby cheek, “This time you have made a huge contribution to the family, tell me, what do you want to eat? Fourth Uncle is treating.”

Really!?

Wang Licui suddenly came to life, blinking her sparkling eyes and licking her lips, “Fourth Uncle. I want to eat steamed large lobster, the type that weighs ten jin. And abalone, the huge, washbowl-sized ones, I want to eat five in one go. And shark fin…”

“Well, in that case, let’s start by discussing your studies.” Wang Shouzhe said with an even warmer smile.

“No, Fourth Uncle, I’ll settle for a small lobster if there’s no big one, five jin, no, a two jin one will do. As for the abalone, just fist-sized ones…”

Of course, in the end, Wang Shouzhe did take her to enjoy a feast according to her wish.

In this world, many creatures and plants tend to grow much larger, and non­spiritual species are not expensive, the Hundred Islands Guard lacks many things, but not sea delicacies which fall within their culinary range.

Wang Licui was naturally satisfied with her meal, after getting down from the carriage, she leaned against the wall all the way back to her room, her heart filled with gratitude for Wang Shouzhe.

Ha ha~ She’s terrifyingly innocent.

Subsequent events went quite smoothly. Minister Zhong, as promised, delivered the resources listed on the billing slip, with a total worth of 31300 Qian Gold. As the quantity purchased at one time was large, Minister Zhong took the liberty to cancel out 300 Qian Gold, bringing Wang Shouzhe’s total expenditure down to 31,000 Qian Gold.

In these resources, the largest chunk went to 20 Creation Pills, which cost a staggering 24,000 Qian Gold. It’s evident that the consumption of the Family Spirit Platform Realm Cultivator is much greater than that of the Vital Energy Refining Realm. For poorer families, even being injured is unaffordable for Spirit Platform Realm cultivators.

However, for a Profound Martial Prominent Family, without a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator to stabilize its position, it may as well be a sitting duck for others.

As a gesture of thanks to Zhong Xingwang and Minister Zhong, Wang Shouzhe personally invited them to a meal. It was unfortunate that Longyan Old Ancestor didn’t attend, which somewhat disappointed Minister Zhong, but he quickly recovered and happily engaged in conversation with Wang Shouzhe. Wang Shouzhe, true to the name of a transmigrator, with his broad vision and unique consciousness, often impressed Minister Zhong, who would slap the table in admiration with a few cups of Spiritual Wine. Soon he started calling Wang Shouzhe his brother.

Wang Shouzhe broke out in a cold sweat at this; Minister Zhong truly lacked the grace and demeanor of a Spirit Platform Realm old ancestor. Compared with Zhou Xuan Old Ancestor and even Mingsheng Old Ancestor, he was lacking by a long shot.

Yet upon further reflection, it was normal. Zhong Xingwang being from a Celestial Clan, there must be quite a number of Spirit Platform Realm cultivators in his family, none of whom require him to bear the burden of the family’s rise or fall.

Furthermore, he wasn’t some domineering and self-confident genius. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed to pull strings to gain entry to the Purple Abode Academic Palace.

A person such as this, how could he catch the eye of the proud, confident, and slightly wilful Longyan Old Ancestor?

But even if Longyan Old Ancestor looks down upon him, with their shared student relationship with Longyan Old Ancestor, Wang Shouzhe still had to find a way to get along with Minister Zhong. The Celestial Clan is too powerful, and their comprehensive strength can’t be compared with a small family like the Wang’s. Having a connection like him would be handy for future endeavors. There wasn’t much of a sensation in the following days.

The young lady had once again scoured the Independent Cultivator’s market for all the Gambling Stones, bringing back two that turned out to be six Spirit Stones. She couldn’t find any more Gambling Stones that interested her.

This made it apparent how deceptive the real Gambling Stone market was. Trying to make a fortune from it was virtually a pipe dream.

Wang Shouzhe and the others boarded the Jun Yao merchant ship very discreetly and returned to Donggang. By then, Sixth Uncle Wang Dinghai had already arrived as arranged to wait for them by his boat.

After briefly thanking Chen Dewei, the Chen Clan Leader, in the absence of Chen Fangjie, Wang Shouzhe bid him farewell.

Some of their luggage was moved onto Wang Dinghai’s ship. All of it was purchased from the Hundred Islands Guard, including seafood and local delicacies. There was also a bag of Oyster Cement that Wang Shouzhe had high hopes for — its price was indeed high, almost as expensive as food.

However, being a loving great-uncle, Wang Shouzhe had also purchased some unique ancient books exclusive to the Hundred Islands Guard for Wang Licui. He could already envision her delighted, chirpy expression.

The biggest gain from this trip was finding a solution to Longyan Old Ancestor’s injury. Over these days, Longyan Old Ancestor had fully mastered the method of refining Evil Qi and had begun gradually refining the Evil Qi within her body.

From the eyes of Longyan Old Ancestor, which were originally filled with melancholy, Wang Shouzhe could now see a spark of enthusiasm and urgency. He thought to himself, the Old Ancestor was certain to give Zhao and Liu Clans a big surprise.

With this thought, Wang Shouzhe’s mood also began to change considerably.

To return to Ping’an Town from Donggang, one must accurately catch the tidal rush. The sky of this world also had a considerable-sized satellite, causing rising and falling tides. When the tide began to rise, the flow of water from Peace River would become much steadier.

At this time, it required a combination of the wind sail and manual rowing.

As the chorus of the rowers rang out, Wang Shouzhe was anxious to return home.

However, this return journey had some unexpected twists and turns.

While Wang Shouzhe was meditating in the cabin, after traveling for no more than half an hour, suddenly the boat jolted with a “clang” as if it hit something, causing the entire ship to sway.

At the same time.

A mix of delight and anger echoed from outside, it was Sixth Uncle Wang Dinghai’s voice, “Shouzhe, come out quickly to help, there’s a Fierce Beast, a Level Two aquatic beast!”

A Level Two aquatic Fierce Beast!?

Wang Shouzhe was taken aback; rather than being terrified, he was delighted. This was essentially food being delivered to their doorstep. His large family at home, with several dozens of members, were all waiting to be fed.
