Chapter 1394: Chapter 49: The Great Emperor’s Free Meal! Shou Zhe ‘s Scheme_2 Chapter 1394: Chapter 49: The Great Emperor’s Free Meal! Shou Zhe ‘s Scheme_2 During the period of extensive development beyond the realm, she repeatedly achieved great merits due to her knowledge in formations and also received numerous small opportunities.

Later, with her savings over the years, she commissioned the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to purchase a 7th Rank Heavenly Vein Holy Pill from the Immortal Dynasty, and with the help of Wang Shouzhe, she managed to assimilate the power of the pill and barely stepped into the Ding Grade Celestial Genius.

Now, although she is only about 160 years old, her cultivation base has already caught up to the level of Old Ancestor Mao, and it is very likely that she will advance to the Purple Abode Realm faster than Old Ancestor Mao.

“Xiaoxiao, when have I ever deceived you?” Wang Shouzhe teased her with a smile, “However, if you are willing to join the militia, our Wang family can offer you a position as vice legion commander.”

“Can I really?” Lu Xiaoxiao said in surprise, “Isn’t it said that only young people can join?”

“You have been staying in the small place of Changning for too long, being called Old Ancestor Xiaoxiao at home for far too long,” Wang Shouzhe said with a shake of his head and a smile. “You aren’t even 160 years old yet, right? In the Immortal Dynasty or demonic Dynasty, girls like you aged one to two hundred years still call themselves ‘young girls’…”

Indeed, that’s true. Once Celestial Geniuses reach the Divine Power Territory, their lifespan limit could reach two thousand years. What difference does one to two hundred years make from a young girl?

Not to mention others, just looking at Luo Qiu and Luo Jing you would know. These two girls are barely two years older or younger than Lu Xiaoxiao, yet their demeanor is completely that of young girls, making them look like a different generation compared to Lu Xiaoxiao.

However, as the first Celestial being of the Lu Family, Lu Xiaoxiao has been carrying the pressure of the whole clan on her shoulders, making her burden heavier, and naturally, her mindset has matured much more than those “young girls.”

“That’s also good,” Lu Xiaoxiao said after a moment of thought, “These years, supporting the Lu Family has indeed been tiring. It’s just that the Celestial beings in our Lu family are nearly ten now, and there will be even more in the future.”

“But while I can give place, Xiaoxiao, you still need to pass the qualification test,” Wang Shouzhe said seriously and solemnly, “After all, our battalion will go to the battlefield in the future, even to the battlefield beyond our realm. If you come, you need to be prepared to fight hard, it’s not a child’s play.”

The battlefield beyond the realm has always been dominated by a group of human elites and major powers.

Whether it’s the imperial household or sacred lands, they all have contributed a lot in the battlefield beyond the realm. Although Wang Shouzhe often grumbles about problems with Emperor Longchang’s national policies, he has to admit that Emperor Longchang’s military system dramatically increased the martial power of Da Qian’s army, gaining significant advantages over the countries South Qin and West Jin, and also contributed significantly beyond the realm.

Currently, the Wang family is still a Fifth Grade Prominent Family, and the strongest in the family is only in the Purple Abode Realm, so those pressures have not yet fallen on their own heads.

But as the Wang family continues to grow stronger, it will eventually become one of the significant human forces, and Wang Shouzhe will inevitably become a real powerhouse.

At that time, as a part of humanity, the responsibilities that should be carried cannot be avoided.

Wang Shouzhe has no intention of avoiding them.

“Yes, I certainly won’t bring disgrace on my cousin, I’ll pass the assessment,” Lu Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Regarding the battlefields beyond the realm, I’m not afraid. With cousin masterminding behind the scenes, I’m not the one who should be worried.”

“Shouzhe, do you think I could be a vice legion commander?” Chen Fangjie also said with interest.

“No,” Wang Shouzhe flatly refused, “You better just honestly run the Chen family at home. A good group of people are depending on you.”

Wang Shouzhe couldn’t dare to let him go to the army, otherwise, how could his sister Luo Yi spare him?

“Gentlemen, I have given up the position,” Wang Shouzhe said again, “Since everyone has enjoyed the quota, aside from contributing effort, you also need to contribute money and resources. Xue’er, show everyone the militia’s preparation budget. My Wang family will pay half, and the rest will be shared among the other families.”

“Yes, Family Head.”

The figure of the family’s Artifact Spirit Xue’er appeared in response, and a detailed budget was presented.

A moment later.

There was a mourn of despair in Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard.

“Shouzhe, isn’t this budget too excessive? The militia soldiers will each be equipped with a Middle Grade Magical Weapon, one for offense and one for defense? That’s directly millions of Qian Gold per person, right? Just this alone amounts to a few billion Qian Gold in expenses, doesn’t it?”

Wang Shouzhe calmly replied, “We are not gathering it all in one day; initially, we can make do with Spiritual Artifacts. We don’t have high targets; we plan to initially complete the basic configuration of the militia in one hundred fifty years. Each family only has to contribute a few billion Qian Gold, spread out over one hundred fifty years; it’s not much each year, just save slowly.”

“Shouzhe, so many Blood Refining Pills, Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills, and Boundless Treasure Pills, the total value must also exceed twenty billion, right? And that does not even include your procurement plan for the Heavenly Vein Holy Pill, Bloodline Immortal Pill! We, in Da Qian, cannot gather so much right now!”

Wang Shouzhe continued calmly, “I’ve already delegated disciples from the Sacred Land’s Profound Pill lineage in the Immortal Dynasty to scavenge, and the Sacred Land’s Profound Pill lineage along with our Wang Family Pill Refining Department will also solve a small part. Besides, Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills and Boundless Treasure Pills, even the Heavenly Vein Holy Pill, are merely one-time consumables; the main future expenses will still be on daily cultivation expenditures.”

“These Bridal Clothes Blood Gu, Blood Gu King, and so on, aren’t they your Wang family’s? Why still convert them into Qian Gold, sharing the cost with everyone? This sharing again amounts to tens of billions…”

Wang Shouzhe explained, “The militia is not just for my Wang family; didn’t our Wang family also share five percent? No problem, everyone just shares a bit, pay by installments over one hundred years, prorated to each year, and the amount owed to our Wang family isn’t much.”
