Protect Our Clan Leader

...

The ease of transportation had greatly reduced the distances between regions.

From the Qingluo Guard in the Northern Sea Bay, returning to the Town Zhe Guard of the Southern Six Guards in Longzuo County, Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan had spent merely two and a half days in their private flying carriage.

If it had been like before, they would have had to travel by sea ship first, then by land, and without ten days to half a month, they simply couldn't have arrived.

However, acquiring a private flying carriage was already sky-high in price. Add to that the long-term domestication of spirit birds, maintenance of the litter, as well as the ongoing expenses of hiring flying carriage drivers, and over time, the costs become quite substantial.

Therefore, the vast majority of the Family Heads or Old Ancestors of Rank Six Prominent Families could only covet the private flying carriages with their eyes. To actually acquire one, they found it too extravagant to bear.

By comparison, although the Wang family was also Grade Six, even just the part of their assets shown to others was not something ordinary Rank Six Prominent Families could compare with. Not to mention, the true foundation of the Wang family went far beyond that, which no outsider knew, except for the core members of the Wang family.

Wild Marsh, Gourd Mouth.

With the Wang family's efforts, the flood barriers and sluice gates had basically taken shape, and the number of Water Dragon vehicles had almost doubled.

Huge Water Dragon vehicles rumbled loudly as water gushed out, continuously pumping water from the marsh bubbles into the area outside Gourd Mouth.

The two Tianren realm Ancestors from the Wang Family even personally took action, breaking through the barriers between the bubbles, allowing the water to flow from top to bottom, all pouring towards Gourd Mouth.

In the Wild Marsh, the water stored in the bubbles, which was already scarce during the dry season, was rapidly decreasing.

It had to be admitted that Tianren realm cultivators possessed formidable strength and extraordinary stamina. If one set aside the prestige of the Old Ancestor and put them to work, their efficiency was not inferior to the multi-functional large-scale engineering machinery on Earth, and they were even more versatile and flexible.

At this moment, a clear cry from a celestial crane echoed in the sky, and Wang Shouzhe's private flying carriage spiraled down from the heavens, gently coming to a rest on the embankment.

Wang Kunyuan, the Old Ancestor of the Wang Family, and Chengye, the Old Ancestor, upon seeing this, hurried over to greet him, "Master Shouzhe, we welcome you."

"You need not be so courteous, you two," Wang Shouzhe said as he lifted the curtain of the carriage and gracefully stepped into the air, smiling, "Seeing the delight on your faces, could it be that you've encountered some good fortune?"

Kunyuan, the Old Ancestor, stroked his beard and laughed, "Master Shouzhe indeed has discerning eyes. Who would have thought, with just the draining of this water, so many treasures would emerge within the marsh."

"Just within these few days, our Wang Family search teams have found over a hundred thousand jin of fish, among which are Level One and Level Two Spirit Fish, as well as Spiritual Clams and Pearls, and so on."

"The harvest of aquatic spirit grass and spiritual medicine is also bountiful. Just yesterday, that young fellow Chengye even found a Level Four Four Color Water Lotus. Deeper under the water, several spirit veins were also discovered."

"Rest assured, Master Shouzhe, we the Wang Family will not monopolize these gains. After all, without the Wang family building the embankments and setting up the Water Dragon Array, these bounties would not have been possible. Once the accounts are settled, we Wang Family will only take three-tenths of it."

No wonder they were so delighted.

This water draining and Jiao hunting operation had not yet caught a Jiao, but there had already been a harvest worth several hundred thousand Qian Gold, and the forthcoming gains were expected to be even more substantial.

Currently, the Wang Family was under great economic pressure, and these finds were almost like gifts from heaven, which was like timely rain for them.

"After all, the Great Wilderness Marsh is the Wang Family's territory. Three-tenths is too little, let's make it four-tenths." Wang Shouzhe smiled and offhandedly gave the Wang Family an additional tenth, then reminded them, "Also, don't drain the pool dry, leave some space for various spiritual creatures to thrive.

After we clean up the Yuan Water Green Jiao, we'll refill the marsh with water and maintain the ecological environment of the Wild Marsh."

Having experienced life on Earth, Wang Shouzhe knew that excessive destruction of the natural environment would lead to a host of negative outcomes. The existence of an ecological environment like the Wild Marsh was also necessary.

"Yes, Master Shouzhe," the two Ancestors of the Wang Family hurriedly put away their smiles and assured him, "We will surely implement your will."

After this matter with the Yuan Water Green Jiao, and having heard Wang Shouzhe's plans for developing the Great Wilderness Marsh, the two Old Ancestors now had complete admiration and respect for Wang Shouzhe, and mentally they were thoroughly inclined towards the Wang Family, displaying an attitude that looked up to Master Shouzhe as their leader.

Seeing them so compliant, Wang Shouzhe was also very pleased.

After all, the Great Wilderness Marsh was considered the Wang Family's base, and the development of the Great Wilderness Marsh inevitably required collaboration with the Wang Family. If these two couldn't grasp the situation, it would be a true headache.

"How is the situation with the Yuan Water Green Jiao?" he casually inquired.

The main reason for such a huge commotion this time was to capture that one Yuan Water Green Jiao. The soon-to-be dragon, Green Jiao, was entirely precious. Not only was the spiritual energy content rich in its flesh, making it highly valuable for consumption, but its scales, claws, sinews, and dragon blood were also worth a lot.

Previously, the Wang family had hunted down a Level Six fierce beast, profiting handsomely from it. That beast was only newly advanced to Level Six and was far from its peak. This Yuan Water Green Jiao was about to transform into a dragon and would only be more valuable.

"It's hidden in the largest bubble; Old Ancestor Firefox is keeping an eye on it," Wang Kunyuan said. "Though the bubble is deep, it won't be many days before the Yuan Water Green Jiao can no longer hide."

Saying this, Wang Kunyuan led Wang Shouzhe to fly towards the large bubble where the Yuan Water Green Jiao was hiding.

"Brother Shouzhe~~"

As soon as they arrived, a petite and exquisite Firefox suddenly dashed out like a flame-colored lightning bolt, throwing itself into Wang Shouzhe's arms.
