Chapter 1541: Chapter 86 The Wang Family Grandfather and Grandson Each Demonstrate Their Elegance

...

Several days later.

A low-key flying carriage departed from the Helan Han Clan, vanishing into the intricate depths of the Helan Mountains.

Inside the flying carriage, Yun Mengyu, who had been disguising herself as a little Immortal Girl for days, now revealed her true face, excitedly hugging Jade Spirit True Monarch’s arm: "Sister Yuling, we did it. We’ve succeeded!"

On her tender green fingers, she now wore a Divine Power Ring.

Within the ring was stored a significant fortune.

The Xuan Iron ingots required for one hundred thousand suits of Black Armor may sound like a massive amount, but in reality, it totalled only five thousand tons.

Considering the density of Xuan Iron is even higher than that of gold, the ingots would only occupy slightly over two hundred cubic meters. A single Divine Power Ring could easily contain this amount, with room to spare.

"Don’t celebrate too soon; you have to give back this batch of Xuan Iron ingots," Jade Spirit True Monarch glanced at her with a slightly sour tone, "If we can’t drive down the price of Xuan Iron ingots, you might even lose your undergarments in the deal."

"That won’t happen." Yun Mengyu spoke with firm conviction, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes sparkling, full of trust, "I believe in Rich. He’s very clever; if he says he can do it, he will certainly achieve it."

"Oh, you’re completely smitten with him," Jade Spirit True Monarch sighed with a trace of helplessness, "But it is true, Rich is quite the devil; such a little child dares to stir up storms within the Immortal Dynasty."

In her more than two thousand years of life, she had never seen a child like him.

As they conversed.

Inside the Helan Han Clan, there was a wave of jubilation.

Especially for the Han Clan’s Old Ancestor, Han Qixuan, who after bidding farewell to the Fourth Princess and Jade Spirit True Monarch, felt as if even his old bones had lightened a bit.

Taking a sip of the Purple Iron Sunflower Tea, which he never allowed himself to drink on ordinary days, he asked Han Langtai: "Langtai, how are things progressing with your visit to Jingan Princess?"

"I didn’t go." Han Langtai poured himself a cup of tea with an idle grace, speaking carelessly, "I strolled around Jingan for a bit, caught up with a few friends, and then returned."

Old Ancestor Han Qixuan’s face twitched, and the tea in his mouth lost its flavor.

"You worthless scoundrel!" he exclaimed angrily, smashing the teacup, "Our Han Clan painstakingly cultivated you, laying out a path straight to the heavens for you. But all you do is loaf around, ignoring my orders to court the princess and instead fraternizing with all sorts of ruffians and ne’er-do-wells."

"I don’t care, pull yourself together and set off to visit Jingan Princess at once," he commanded.

"Old Ancestor, if you’re so eager, you go grovel to her yourself. I have no interest in Jingan Princess whatsoever," Han Langtai retorted, indifferent as a pig unconcerned about being scalded by boiling water.

Old Ancestor Han Qixuan almost exploded in rage, pointing at him and cursing in his heart.

If I, Han Qixuan, were eligible to grovel, no, to pursue the Third Official, would I need you, this good-for-nothing, to step in?

"Grandpa Ancestor, please calm down," Han Langtai hurried over to ease his Old Ancestor’s anger, "After all, I’m a Transcendent Void Realm seedling. Why should I abandon being the rightful successor of our family to become a lap dog for the Third Official? Without her, can’t our Han Clan still live on just fine?"

"You don’t understand a thing!" roared Old Ancestor Han Qixuan, glaring at him, "Our Helan Han Clan may look glamorous, but that’s all on the surface. For many years, we’ve always been suppressed by the neighboring Jingan Wei Family, who even dictate the prices of the Xuan Iron ingots. Why? Isn’t it because our family has only one Transcendent Void Realm heritage?"

"A single Transcendent heritage indicates instability. If I were to suffer an accident someday, the family would enter a period of decline, and those who once flattered us would start squeezing our living space, both openly and covertly."

"Just look through the history books, how many First Grade Prominent Families have fallen due to decay, eventually downgraded to Second Class, or even more tragically destitute?"

"You make a good point, Old Ancestor, but obtaining a Codex is extremely rare. Our family can’t just conjure another Transcendent heritage out of thin air, can we?" Han Langtai, undaunted by his Old Ancestor’s anger, remained very calm, "Moreover, if I compete for the position of Princess Mansion Head, won’t our family lack a Transcendent Void Realm presence?"

Hearing this, the anger on Old Ancestor Han Qixuan’s face subsided a bit, and his expression turned more solemn: "Langtai, do you know why I’ve spent hundreds of years accumulating our stock of Xuan Iron ingots and then making a fortune at the right moment?"

"I always thought it was driven by the Wei Family and you just went along with it half-heartedly," said Langtai with a slight frown, "From what you’re suggesting, it seems there’s more to it... Possible that...?"

"Exactly!" Old Ancestor Han Qixuan quickly set up a barrier before continuing in a lowered voice, "That’s because I’ve discovered a clue to an unclaimed Transcendent Void Codex. To elevate our family to a stronger First Class, providing better opportunities for our descendants, the time is now ripe. Langtai, you must not fail my expectations of you."

"This time, the Fourth Princess’s borrowing of Xuan Iron ingots has given us an opportunity for rapid development."

"I’ve already thought it through. With the extra Immortal Crystals we earn, I plan to exchange them for a Rank 9 Contrary to Heaven Dao Pill from the Immortal Supreme. With the aid of this Dao Pill, your current Great Heavenly Proud Second Rate Bloodline Talent will leap to become an Unparalleled Heavenly Child Ding Grade."

"Once you inherit the masterless Codex and receive the baptism of the Heavenly Earth Essence, your talent could be elevated to somewhere between Unparalleled Heavenly Child Class C and Grade B."
