……

After all the clan leaders had visited and inspected the silk reeling and weaving workshops, the feast to celebrate the success was held in the main house, hosted by the Jinsa Xu’s Clan.

This time, due to the cooperation between Wang’s Clan and Changning Xu’s Clan, Jinsa Xu’s Clan had picked up a big bargain.

As long as the workshop could operate smoothly, a great future development could be expected!

Therefore, Clan Leader Xu Anze spared no expense and held a high-standard spiritual food banquet to entertain all the clan leaders and ancestors.

After a round of toasting and socializing.

Wang Shouzhe proposed to distribute the spoils of war at this opportunity. All the ancestors and clan leaders suddenly perked up, their eyes sparkling with anticipation.

No wonder, the scale of this battle was large, and the spoils of war were also of great value.

The sorting of the spoils had been presided over by Liu Ruolan earlier, and then they would be distributed uniformly.

Although they were all related by marriage and implicitly looked up to the Wang’s Clan, the distribution of interests was not a trivial matter.

During the conversation, Liu Ruolan, who was sitting next to Wang Shouzhe, handed over a detailed list of the spoils.

Wang Shouzhe took it and read out, “In this battle on the Golden Sand Beach, the spoils collected on the spot include a medium-grade evil magic weapon ‘Yinsha Shura Flag’, with a black market appraisal price of 80,000 Top Gold.”

“A medium-grade spiritual weapon ‘Dragon Tiger Demon Subduing Ruler’, with a black market appraisal price of 90,000 to 120,000 Top Gold.”

“A medium-grade storage ring, estimated at 120,000.”

“A corpse coffin and the remains of Yinsha corpse puppet, estimated at 50,000.”

“A lower-grade magic weapon ‘Bone Whip’, damaged, estimated at 23,000.”

“A pair of lower-grade magic weapons ‘Ghost Claws’, estimated at 25,000.”

“A lower-grade spiritual weapon ‘Nameless Sword’, estimated at 28,000.”

“A lower-grade storage ring, estimated at 30,000.”

“Various gold tickets, Top Gold, and other cash, totaling 31,000.”

“Pills, consumables, spirit stones, etc., estimated at 20,000.”

“The total value of all materials is approximately between 477,000 and 500,000.”

With each item Wang Shouzhe mentioned, the ancestors of each family showed joy, especially when they heard that the total value was around 500,000, their eyes were even brighter.

Even the ancestors of each family couldn’t remain calm in the face of such huge profits.

Wealth moves the heart.

In this world, wealth represents resources. With resources, a clan can grow and enter a virtuous cycle.

It can also prevent the potential children in the family from being buried.

Therefore, even if the relationship between the clans is good, the economic interests must be clearly divided, one is one, two is two.

The reason why Wang Shouzhe could unite all the clans was not only because he was willing to make money with everyone, but also because he could be fair and just in the distribution of benefits.

“Next is the calculation of merit points according to contributions.” Wang Shouzhe took out another list, “In this battle, my Wang’s Clan, as the leading party, has planned and arranged as well as made secret moves, first get 12 points. Wang Dingzu and Wang Zongwei’s merit in planning the casino, get 7 points. Ancestor Long Yan’s participation in the battle gets 10 points. Liu Ruolan and the Spirit Turtle’s command get 7 points, totaling 53 points.”

“Changning Xu’s Clan assisted in planning and arranging, first get 5 points, Ancestor Beichen’s participation in the battle gets 10 points, Ancestor Ningcheng as the backup did not make a move gets 5 points, totaling 20 points.”

“Jinsa Xu’s Clan assisted in planning and arranging, first get 2 points, Ancestor Ningwei’s participation in the battle gets 6 points, totaling 8 points.”

“Shanyin Liu’s Clan, Ancestor Yuanbai’s participation in the battle, gets 8 points, assisting gets 5 points, totaling 13 points.”

“Donggang Chen’s Clan, Ancestor Ruhong’s participation in the battle, gets 8 points, assisting gets 5 points, totaling 13 points.”

“Shanyang Gongsun’s Clan, Ancestor Ao’s participation in the battle, gets 8 points, assisting gets 5 points, totaling 13 points.”

“Yingxiu Lu’s Clan, Ancestor Mingsheng’s participation in the battle, gets 6 points, assisting gets 4 points, totaling 10 points.”

“Zhou Zhenwu’s entire army of the three defense camps participated in the battle, gets 10 points, assisting gets 5 points, totaling 15 points.”

“Above, are the merit points distribution of each clan unit in this operation, does anyone have any objections?” After Wang Shouzhe finished speaking, he looked around seriously, “If there are any objections, they need to be raised on the spot, and can be clearly stated on the table, do not discuss privately if you are not satisfied.”

“Cough cough!” Xu Anbang cleared his throat, “Shouzhe’s merit points distribution is naturally fair. However, I think the calculation of merit points for Wang’s Clan is still a bit low. For the overall planning, you have been operating for a long time and have put in a lot of manpower and material resources, at least 20 points. Dingzu’s merit in destroying the casino should also have 10 points. Ruolan and the Spirit Turtle’s combat power and merit are not trivial, also deserve 10 points.”

“That’s right.” Ancestor Ruhong said, “Shouzhe, don’t be too harsh on your own family because you are leading the distribution. Like me, Chen Ruhong, I just came to help single-handedly, and I have 13 points. You have put in so much effort, the score is unreasonable.”

The other ancestors also expressed their opinions one after another.

“No problem, then I’ll add 2 more points, our Wang’s Clan takes 55 points.” Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, “After all, this is about my Wang’s Clan seeking revenge, it’s only right to put in more effort.”

Despite further persuasion, Wang Shouzhe refused, waved his hand and made the final decision: “In this way, the total score is 155 points. For easy calculation, each point is settled at about 3150 Top Gold. Then let’s talk about the distribution of the spoils, my Wang’s Clan wants that ‘Yinsha Shura Flag’, because the black market price can only sell for 80,000, we are willing to pay 26 points. I wonder if anyone else wants it?”

This price is slightly more than half a point of the Yinsha Shura Flag, but they are all in-laws alliance, Wang Shouzhe doesn’t want to take advantage of this.

The reason for wanting the Yinsha Shura Flag was also because this medium-grade magic weapon was very suitable for Ancestor Long Yan, it could assist her in cultivating Yinsha power, and could also be used as a battlefield control treasure, which would greatly benefit the overall strength of Wang’s Clan.

Since Wang Shouzhe wanted this magic weapon, no other clan could use such a magic weapon, naturally, no one would annoy others by competing for it.

After Wang Shouzhe asked three times and no one bid, the Yinsha Shura Flag belonged to Wang’s Clan.

With this medium-grade spiritual weapon-level magic weapon, it added another powerful weapon to Ancestor Long Yan. In this way, Ancestor Long Yan’s combat power was almost equivalent to the top existence at the Spirit Platform realm level.

“Medium-grade spiritual artifact ‘Dragon-Tiger Demon Subduing Ruler’, who needs it? The starting bid is 28 points.” Wang Shouzhe began to deal with the next treasure, “Each increase in price must not be less than 1 point.”

As soon as his words fell, the eyes of several ancestors lit up immediately, and their breathing became a bit heavier.

The “Dragon-Tiger Demon Subduing Ruler” was once the clan’s spiritual artifact of the former Huangfu’s Clan, and also the spiritual artifact that made Huangfu Jinyuan famous.

Unlike the Yinsha Shura Flag, which most people could hardly use, this Dragon-Tiger Demon Subduing Ruler was very suitable for the combat spiritual artifacts of various clans.

Moreover, this was a rare medium-grade spiritual artifact.

You should know that low-grade spiritual artifacts are relatively easy to buy on the market, but medium-grade and above spiritual artifacts are basically in a state of being priceless. They are always available but not sought after.

Even if you go to an auction to search, you have to rely on fate. If you are lucky, you can encounter one, but you have to see if there is a powerful clan competing. It is common to miss it.

Only some old eight-rank clans, or seven-rank clans, have some medium-grade spiritual artifacts in stock after hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation. Or like the old ancestor Zhou Xuan, who went to the outer domain to open up wasteland, could accumulate two medium-grade spiritual artifacts at once.

“Everyone, act according to your abilities, don’t hurt the harmony.” Seeing them getting a little excited, Wang Shouzhe immediately reminded, and said, “In addition, our Wang’s Clan withdraws from this competition.”

For Wang Shouzhe, although this Dragon-Tiger Demon Subduing Ruler is good, it would be bullying people if he competed again after he had already taken a Yinsha Shura Flag at the base price.

Moreover, whether it was Wang Shouzhe’s “Guardian Heart Shield”, Liu Ruolan’s “Autumn Water Sword”, or Wang Lici’s “Big Hammer”, they were all top-grade spiritual artifacts.

When Luo Qiu Luo Jing practiced for a while, and went to the trial ground at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, he could get two more top-grade spiritual artifacts.

Why should he compete with his in-laws?

Moreover, under the circumstances of such close cooperation, enhancing their strength is also indirectly enhancing the strength of Wang’s Clan.

Several ancestors looked at each other, and they immediately understood why Wang Shouzhe gave in, and couldn’t help but sigh again.

Wang Shouzhe is indeed worthy of being Wang Shouzhe.

Just by being able to stay calm in the face of a medium-grade spiritual artifact, this demeanor and courage instantly overshadowed them.

With Wang Shouzhe as the bottom line, they naturally couldn’t be too greedy.

Liu Yuanbai, the ancestor of Liu’s Clan, coughed twice and said: “Everyone, such a high-quality medium-grade spiritual artifact can be used as a clan’s spiritual artifact. Let’s speak according to our strength. Our Liu’s Clan bids 30 points.”

Liu’s Clan only has 13 points this time, and the rest has to be supplemented by Top Gold. Each point requires 3150 Top Gold.

The price was immediately raised by him.

“Brother Yuanbai is right, treasures are rare, we all have to compete.” Gongsun Ao, the ancestor of Shanyang Gongsun’s Clan, said, “Our Gongsun’s Clan bids 32 points. My Gongsun Meng’s Gold Battle Body has made some progress, and this treasure is most suitable for him.”

“This…”

Beichen, the ancestor of Xu’s Clan, frowned. He also wanted this treasure. But Xu’s Clan already has the “Dragon Subduing Stele”, and he is already very poor in order to raise resources for the breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm, as well as joint investment with Wang’s Clan.

The old eight-rank clan actually owes Wang’s Clan a lot of debt. Moreover, once he successfully advances to the Heavenly Human Realm, the future expenses will be even greater…

Well, better save some money.

Beichen, the ancestor, sighed: “Our Changning Xu’s Clan withdraws from the competition.”

Chen Ruhong, the ancestor of Chen’s Clan, originally wanted to compete, but when he saw Shanyang and Shanyin were at odds, he frowned and also announced his withdrawal from the competition.

He has 13 points, which can be exchanged for more than 40,000 Top Gold.

Instead of competing with them, it is better to save some foundation for the clan and build a few more merchant ships.

Jinsha Xu’s Clan and Yingxiu Lu’s Clan, these two nine-rank clans with insufficient foundation, knew that they could not compete with the eight-rank clans, and they would offend people for nothing if they went up, so they also withdrew.

In this way, only Yuanbai, the ancestor, and Ao, the ancestor, were left to compete.

Each point is 3150 Top Gold, and the two ancestors are constantly weighing and bidding.

From 33 points to 34 points, and then to Ao, the ancestor, shouted to 36 points. Yuanbai, the ancestor, sighed and said: “Forget it, Ao, you are really stubborn, our Liu’s Clan withdraws from the competition.”

Liu Yuanbai actually did this for Wang Shouzhe’s sake.

After all, he knew that Wang Shouzhe had put a lot of effort into building this alliance, and he didn’t want to have another conflict with Shanyang Gongsun’s Clan because of this.

“Congratulations to Ao, the ancestor.” Wang Shouzhe also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and congratulated with a smile, “It’s not a loss to get this medium-grade spiritual artifact with 36 points.”

He knew that if this treasure was auctioned off, it would not be too difficult to shoot a high price of 120,000 to 130,000 with a good operation. 36 points, just over 110,000, not a loss.

“Hahaha, thank you Brother Yuanbai for giving in.” Gongsun Ao’s face also relaxed a lot, “If it weren’t for my Meng’s battle body being most suitable for this treasure, I wouldn’t compete with a thick face.”

Gongsun Meng is only in his nineties now, still young, full of potential, and his Gold Battle Body is very powerful. Now that Gongsun’s Clan has become rich, he has gradually cultivated him as a Heavenly Human seed.

After getting this treasure, Gongsun Meng will be like a tiger with wings, and his combat power will immediately soar a lot.

“Shouzhe, the clan has developed too fast recently, and there is not much surplus gold.” Gongsun Ao was not afraid of losing face, and directly bowed his hand to Wang Shouzhe, “We need to borrow 50,000 Top Gold from Wang’s Clan, and we will repay it with principal and interest in Top Gold within five years.”

“Of course.” Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, “Then just follow the usual rules.”

The in-law alliance is now very united, and it is very normal for each other to borrow funds. Wang Shouzhe has also set a set of rules, and the annual interest is generally calculated at 5%.

This is clear accounting even among brothers.

The financial dealings between the same clan’s brothers must be clearly calculated. The financial dealings between clans must be clean and clear.

Otherwise, this in-law alliance is not far from disintegration.
