“Old Ancestor, theoretically, a Level Three Fierce Beast should have a pretty long lifespan, with many making it past two hundred years,” Wang Shouzhe said, expressing some doubts about this. “How can you ascertain that this is Huahua’s mother?”

His biggest fear was that his family had poured a large sum of money into this Fire Spirit Vein, only for the big tiger not to be dead. If it discovered its lair had been occupied, they’d be in a heap of trouble.

An adult Level Three tiger-like Fierce Beast shouldn’t be underestimated in terms of intelligence and combat power.

“Shouzhe, look, this tiger’s bones are coiled up in the fire pool, and its left femur and ribs are fractured in many places. Two sections in the middle of its spine have shattered,” Elder Longyan calmly explained. “It is safe to say that, after being injured in combat and failing to recover, it jumped into the fire pool to incinerate itself when it was about to die.”

“Furthermore, judging by its pelvic cavity, this was an adult female tiger. Its pelvic cavity is open, suggesting that it died shortly after giving birth,” Elder Longyan judged. “Moreover, the temperature in the fire pool is high, so the bones would not be this intact if this had happened a long time ago.”

Wang Shouzhe marveled at Elder Longyan. True to his reputation, the Old Ancestor was well-educated and experienced from his time at the Academic Palace.

“Aowoo, aowoo,” Little Tiger Huahua seemed to possess some spiritual intelligence and seemed to have sensed something. She huddled in Wang Licui’s arms, seeming a little down.

“Old Ancestor, it’s heartbreaking. She died just after giving birth to Huahua,” Wang Licui sighed. “I’ve made up my mind. I will treat Huahua well.”

“Aowoo, aowoo.” Huahua seemed to perk up a bit and rubbed her head against her a few times.

“Let’s do this, I’ll reduce your debt by two hundred… no, one hundred Qian Gold.” Wang Licui generously offered. “As of today, you only owe me seven hundred Qian Gold.”

Huahua was overcome with gratitude and behaved adorably.

Wang Shouzhe had a sneaking suspicion, um, didn’t Huahua only owe six hundred Qian Gold before?

Oh well. Wang Shouzhe figured that the illiterate Little Tiger would never repay the Qian Gold in her entire life.

“Old Ancestor, the Vermilion Fruit is a relatively rare spirit seed and spirit fruit. Our family’s manual on spirit fruits does not describe it.” Wang Shouzhe curiously asked, “Do you know when the next Vermilion Fruit will be produced?”

“A mature Vermilion Fruit is worth around twelve to fifteen thousand Qian Gold,” Elder Longyan said. “In a Middle Grade Fire Spirit Vein that suits its growth like this, a Vermilion Fruit can be produced approximately every hundred years.”

As expected, it’s over ten thousand!

Wang Shouzhe’s eyes looked somber as he stared at Wang Licui. The damn girl was so lucky. She was only at the Vital Energy Refining Realm Level Two and had already tasted a Heaven and Earth Treasure worth over ten thousand. This could be exchanged for over a thousand Little Pei Yuan Dan pills. It would be enough for her brothers and sisters to gobble them up like candy.

“Fourth Uncle! Fourth Uncle!” Upon hearing the price, Wang Licui’s legs went weak, and she collapsed into Wang Shouzhe’s arms. She was regretting so much that her intestines were turning green, and her face turned pale as she whimpered, “If I had known that the damned fruit was so expensive, I would never have eaten it.”

“It’s alright, it’s alright. If you’ve eaten it, you’ve eaten it.” Seeing her like this, Wang Shouzhe felt a twinge of sympathy and comforted her by petting her head. “This is your own opportunity. It’s meant for you. Besides, haven’t you added a valuable plot of land and Vermilion Fruit foundation to the family? This time, you’ve done a great service to the family.”

“That’s good then. Fourth Uncle, your gaze earlier was scary.” Wang Licui took a breath, looking relieved. “I was really afraid that Fourth Uncle would sell me.” Wang Shouzhe’s face darkened. As if anyone would have the bad luck of buying this troublesome girl.

He didn’t bother dealing with her any further.

Wang Shouzhe figured, “If I were to develop this Vermilion Fruit Spirit Tree, it would look like a resounding success, but it only amounts to a little over a hundred Qian Gold a year when averaged out. For this valuable land of Fire Spirits, I need to plan well to maximize immediate returns.”

“Fourth Uncle, why don’t we plant another Vermilion Fruit Tree? The fruit is really tasty,” Wang Licui said, taking a pigeon-egg-sized seed out. The seed was as transparent and red as jade, and it faintly radiated the power of a fire spirit.

“That’s a good idea.” Wang Shouzhe took the Vermilion Fruit seed from her and praised, “Smart thinking to keep the seed. If we’re lucky, we can plant another tree.”

Of course, they could never have too many Vermilion Fruit Trees. If they could gradually set up mass production of Vermilion Fruits, the Wang family would become wealthy.

“I originally wanted to crack open the shell to eat the nut inside, but I couldn’t crack it,” Wang Licui honestly replied.

Wang Shouzhe broke out in a cold sweat—this damned girl really only had food on her mind. Fortunately, she couldn’t crack it open, otherwise, the seed would’ve been wasted. Presumably, a Vermilion Fruit seed could also be sold for a pretty penny.

“Shouzhe, if we want to make full use of this treasure land, we’ll have to build a Spirit Gathering Array,” Wang Xiaohan said from the sidelines. “Look at this Fire Spirit Vein, its spiritual power is evenly spread, unordered and quickly dissipating. With a Spirit Gathering Array, we can collect the Fire Spirit power, distribute it evenly and create a Fire Elemental Spiritual Field. Planting some Fire Elemental crops would yield the quickest results.”

Most undeveloped wild Spirit Veins are like this—chaotic. Many of the Spirit Plants are wild and sporadic, providing limited yields.

Spirit Fields didn’t exist from the start.

Spirit Fields were simply a human invention, a method to utilize Spirit Veins to maximize economic benefits. With Spirit Fields, humans no longer had to awkwardly gather spiritual objects from the wild.
