Protect Our Chief-Chapter 613 - 56 To Shouzhe! The Vanishing Youth_3

According to the usual rules, auctions featuring items like the Infinite Treasure Pill are considered high-level auctions. Ordinarily, even Seventh-Grade, and generally Sixth-Grade Noble Families do not qualify to participate.

Fortunately, the Wang Family’s spending power at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion of the Six Southern Guards is top-notch. They have spent a considerable amount of money over time and have long received VIP treatment. Therefore, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion of the Six Southern Guards is willing to recommend Wang Shouzhe to participate in the high-level auction in Southern Desert County, provided that the total bid does not fall below two million Qian Gold!

Normally, an "Infinite Treasure Pill" is auctioned for around two to three million Qian Gold. Generally, only extremely powerful Sixth-Grade Noble Families or Fifth-Grade Noble Families can afford it.

Two to three million Qian Gold is an amount the Wang Family can manage.

However, Wang Shouzhe is characteristically prudent, and missing out on this Infinite Treasure Pill, he cannot be certain there will be another opportunity before he advances to the Celestial Human Realm.

Thus, he is determined to obtain this Infinite Treasure Pill.

What he worries about the most is if another family with the same "essential need" were to compete with him, would five million Qian Gold be enough?

"Alas, after all, still too poor," Wang Shouzhe lamented heartily, "It is not easy to save money."

Shouda Trading Company does have a large sum of money temporarily accumulated. However, that fund is intended for expanding the scale of Shouda Trading Company, and even Wang Shouzhe has no right to use it otherwise.

"Forget it, I’ll first raise two million in reserve funding from the in-law family," Wang Shouzhe slightly frowned, "for safety, let’s also gather three million Qian Gold from the Qiaan Family. If even ten million can’t get it... then I’ll have to wait some more."

...

A few days later.

In the "Purple Mansion Palace" hotel in Longzuo County City, Wang Shouzhe had a secret meeting with the new head of the Qiaan Family, Qiaan Xuehan.

"Huh?"

Upon seeing Qiaan Xuehan, Wang Shouzhe immediately noticed a huge change in his temperament and aura. Not only was Qiaan Xuehan filled with confidence, but even his presence had transformed to an extent that it emanated an intense decisiveness that was hard to conceal.

"Junior pays respects to Patriarch Shouzhe." Qiaan Xuehan first bowed deeply, showing his respect and gratitude towards Wang Shouzhe, and then smiled, "It seems Patriarch Shouzhe has noticed. With Patriarch Shouzhe’s care, Xuehan has often accomplished great feats, making the Ancestor happy. Hence, he granted me the opportunity to enter the family’s inheritance relic site this time. And the junior did not disappoint the Ancestor’s expectations, successfully becoming a Purple Mansion Seed."

Purple Mansion Seed?

That makes him a Celestial Pride! Did the Qiaan Family also have a channel to elevate to Celestial Pride?

"Congratulations to Patriarch Xuehan, and please, Patriarch, do not refer to yourself as a junior anymore." Wang Shouzhe felt both embarrassed and reflective, noting, the Qiaan Family truly lives up to its name. A Purple Mansion Family enduring over a thousand years indeed has deep-rooted foundations.

However, Wang Shouzhe secretly deduced that the secret foundation mastered by the Qiaan Family is likely far less than the trial site of the Divine Martial Dynasty. Otherwise, the Qiaan Family would not be the Qiaan Family it is today.

An opportunity to rise to a Celestial Pride must undoubtedly be very rare and treasured by the Qiaan Family.

"Patriarch Shouzhe has a life-giving kindness towards Xuehan," Qiaan Xuehan insisted obstinately, "The Ancestor was willing to give me the opportunity of becoming a Purple Mansion Seed because of the excellent relations with the Wang Family."

"Oh, did Patriarch Shouzhe invite Xuehan this time to discuss the business of Shouda Trading Company? I have already dispatched various elders to expedite the purchase or lease of Spiritual Bird Flying Chariots, ensuring that by the deadline, we shall have assembled one hundred and twenty units~"

"This is not the reason," Wang Shouzhe shook his head, then stated his purpose for coming.

"Pfft!"

Qiaan Xuehan, who was drinking Spirit Tea, spat out a mouthful of tea, looking at Wang Shouzhe with terrified eyes: "Patriarch Shouzhe is actually planning to throw ten million Qian Gold to obtain an Infinite Treasure Pill? Although this item is precious and rare, records of transactions exceeding three million Qian Gold are extremely rare."

"It’s a necessity," Wang Shouzhe honestly said, "If I miss this opportunity, when will such a good chance come again?"

Qiaan Xuehan almost burst into tears. The Qiaan Family also wanted to join the auction this time to buy that Infinite Treasure Pill to preserve as family foundation. However, the Elder Council of the family provided a budget of only two hundred and fifty thousand. After all, the Qiaan Family is now betting on Shouda Trading Company, and funds are extremely tight.

Patriarch Shouzhe, your maneuver is indeed too aggressive. Are you leaving no hope for other families?

Truly luxury without restraint.

Sigh, even though I’m also a patriarch, Qiaan Xuehan realized his power is not even a tenth of Patriarch Shouzhe’s. As Patriarch Xuehan, not only is he restrained by the Elder Council, but he also has a Purple Mansion Realm Ancestor making critical family decisions above him.

Really different, truly different.
