Chapter 1234 - 7: Unparalleled Celestial Pride! How Many Wang Family Geniuses Are There?

"Master Ancestor, you’re thinking way too simply." Wang Luqiu’s face was full of exasperation.

Who does Zhen Shicong think he is?

Other people may not know the situation, but she sure does. Not to mention anything else—the Wang Family alone already has three people lined up to join the Struggle for the Saint Son.

Not to mention that brat Liyao and that brat Yingxuan, there’s also that fellow Lici, who seems to be joining the Struggle for the Saint Son too. She’s apparently been doing quite well out there these years, every letter she writes is just her showing off.

These days, if you don’t have bloodline talent at the level of an Unparalleled Celestial Pride, what are you even doing joining the Struggle for the Saint Son?

She thought for a while, then her eyes suddenly lit up. Flattering, she stared eagerly at Mingcheng True Man: "Actually, joining isn’t impossible. If Master and Master Ancestor can scrape together enough resources to support me becoming an Unparalleled Celestial Pride, I’m confident I can take the Saintess position."

"Unparalleled Celestial Pride?" Mingcheng True Man’s face went dark. "You make it sound easy. You think this is cabbage growing in the fields, just say you’ll ascend and you ascend? Even if you bundled up your Master Ancestor and sold me off, you still wouldn’t be able to gather enough resources for you to advance to Unparalleled Celestial Pride."

With Luqiu’s talent, even with an Eighth-Grade Immortal Pill, at best it could raise her talent to Great Celestial Pride Grade A. If she wants to charge at Unparalleled, she’d absolutely need a Ninth-Grade Dao Pill. That’s at least several billion in resources!

Not to mention that after becoming an Unparalleled Celestial Pride, her cultivation speed would skyrocket, and the cultivation resources consumed while cultivating at full speed would be another massive expenditure.

Even if they emptied out the entire Glazed Mingwang Hall lineage, they still wouldn’t be able to support it.

This girl really dares to say anything!

Wang Luqiu let out a sigh. "Then just forget it~~ I’ll first master the True Skill of our lineage, and then slowly think of ways to seek other Opportunities."

"This... Luqiu, you’re really not going to reconsider?" Mingcheng True Man grit his teeth and said, "If you feel you’re not confident, I’ll scrape together some resources and get you an Eighth-Grade Immortal Pill that can improve your talent."

"I..." Wang Luqiu actually really wanted to agree and get a wave of talent improvement first. But facing Master and Master Ancestor, she couldn’t bring herself to pull such a scam, so she hurriedly changed the topic. "Right, before I went into seclusion I heard my Fourth Brother was coming. He should almost be here by now, I’ll go ask for his opinion first."

Then, after hastily giving a salute, she immediately slipped away.

If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation of the Eighth-Grade Immortal Pill.

...

Same time period.

Over the West Hurricane Ocean of the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty.

The enormous Cloud Ray Flying Ship was like a real cloud ray, its bat wings trembling as it roamed through the sea of clouds.

Beside the broad, thick glass portholes manufactured by the Wang Family, several exquisite tables, chairs, and decorations were arranged. The soft, comfortable recliners could be half-lain upon, while one admired the white clouds, blue sky, and the majestic, surging West Hurricane Ocean.

According to Jiang Xingyuan’s original expectations, in this poetic and tasteful setting, everyone would slowly dine together, chat about the vast, magnificent world, talk about lofty and burning ideals, and then, under the worshipful gazes of the two adorable little fairies, hehehehe...

The result...

Because the waiters couldn’t clear fast enough, the bone plates beside the table had already piled up into a mountain. All kinds of delicious rare dishes that were supposed to be delicately tasted, they complained the portions were too small and demanded they be served on large platters.

In the end, the Cloud Ray Flying Ship’s chef team had already been summoned into the restaurant to cook on-site. Tier Seven Dragon Liver, Tier Eight Phoenix Gall, Tier Nine Spirit Fruit—those were stacked up in piles on the ground.

Jiang Xingyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, maintaining his grace and politeness on the surface, but in his heart already ten thousand Tier Five Wild Ox were madly trampling back and forth. Then he carefully sent a voice transmission to Gongyang Strategy: "Worthy brother, how many Immortal Crystals do you have left?"

"Well... I’ve been traveling outside for many years, expenses were heavy, so I’ve only got a little over ten thousand Immortal Crystals left." Gongyang Strategy was sweating too.

"We’re done for, done for. I left in a rush this time, only brought a little over a hundred thousand Immortal Crystals." Jiang Xingyuan was on the verge of tears and said via voice transmission, "And I just saw the price list—food of the same kind on the Flying Ship is several times more expensive than in the city. The Yao Family is seriously gouging us."

Several Hours later.

Yao Chengchao, who had rushed over after hearing the news, looked at Jiang Xingyuan and Gongyang Strategy with a squinty smile. "Yo, isn’t this Young Master Ce? Banished by Wang Shouzhe to the Immortal Dynasty and now back—and you’ve gotten even more useless? Treating guests to a meal without bringing money?"

In an instant, Gongyang Strategy’s face flushed hot. He said weakly, "It’s not that I didn’t bring any, just not enough. After I return to the Saint Land, I’ll make it up to you."

"Eh? You know my Fourth Uncle?" As soon as Wang Lici heard that familiar name, her eyes instantly lit up.

"What’s your name?" Yao Chengchao asked with slight suspicion. "Your Fourth Uncle wouldn’t be..."

"My name is Wang Lici, and my Fourth Uncle is Wang Shouzhe." Wang Lici said boisterously, "I haven’t seen him in ages. Once I obtain the Saintess position of Lingyun Sacred Land, I’m definitely going to go blind him with my brilliance."

"What!?"

Yao Chengchao and Gongyang Strategy both stared at Wang Lici in shock.
