Chapter 762: Chapter 3 My Wife is Celestial Pride_3
The most difficult to cultivate is the Northwest Spiritual Beef Ox. As a Tier Three beef breed, although its growth cycle has been shortened to a hundred years, its average farming cost still reaches tens of thousands of Qian Gold per head.
Even though this Spiritual Beef Ox has been cultivated for many generations to the point that its physique is comparable to an adult elephant and its meat yield can reach ten thousand pounds at once, the pure cost per pound, priced at several Qian Gold, remains extremely daunting.
However, as a Tier Three Spiritual Flesh, it provides a strong replenishment of vigor and blood to Black Tortoise Cultivators, and also helps accelerate their growth. Therefore, despite the high costs, the Wang’s Large Ranch must engage in large-scale self-breeding.
At present, the total number of Northwest Spiritual Oxen bred by the Wang Family has reached over five hundred heads and is increasing annually. It is expected that in the near future, ten heads can be slaughtered annually, barely supplying the Wang Family.
There’s no choice, the Wang Family’s numerous Celestial Pride and Great Celestial Pride members are too many. Various spiritual foods rich in vigor and nutrition, as well as various elixirs, are indispensable. Otherwise, their cultivation speed would be affected, delaying their prospects.
Moreover, Wang Shouzhe, Wang Longyan, and other Great Celestial Pride members of the Celestial Human Realm consume Tier Five Spiritual Flesh to promote rapid cultivation. However, where could an ordinary ranch find conditions to breed Tier Five Spiritual Beasts?
You either wait for some reckless Tier Five Spiritual Beast to seek death at Shouzhe Pass, or you have to make long-term purchases. In short, the price is extremely high and extremely unstable.
Therefore, Wang’s Large Ranch is also attempting to breed Tier Four beef cattle. Yet, this technology requires long-term accumulation, and the Wang Family’s foundation in agriculture is too shallow.
Ranch volcano crater.
Outside the volcano crater, the Wang Family has established a small base.
This small base is intended for the core members of the Wang Family and Household Generals to reside and work long-term. It’s here in this base that the entire Wang’s Large Ranch is controlled.
For a long time, the guardian of Wang’s Large Ranch has been Wang Luotong of the Lu Generation.
She has diligently developed the livestock industry for five to sixty years, tripling the overall breeding scale. Currently, the total output value exceeds one million Qian Gold, also accumulating a great deal of livestock industry technology for the Wang Family.
Most importantly, during this process, she transitioned from her original cultivation technique, the Profound Origin Technique, to cultivating the Fire Element Technique, the Red Dragon True Technique, and has continuously enhanced her cultivation by relying on the Fire Spiritual Vein within the volcano, achieving the Celestial Human Realm.
Of course, if she hadn’t actively asked Wang Shouzhe for a Wedding Robe Blood Gu back then, she wouldn’t have had such talent to reach the Celestial Human Realm at eighty-seven years old.
Meanwhile.
Inside the Wang’s Ranch base.
A middle-aged man with a mustache leapt down from the carriage, still holding a boy around four or five years old in his arms.
Nearby, the middle-aged Spirit Platform Realm household general Wang Chong quickly led several clan soldiers to greet him, cupping his hands, "Greetings, Master Lei, greetings, Young Master Zongbo." With a wave of his hand, clan soldiers escorted the coachman aside to rest and unloaded some living supplies from the carriage.
These were all fruits, chickens, ducks, fish, and geese produced from the Wang Family’s various farms. Although this is Wang’s Large Ranch, the output of fruits and agricultural products is very low.
"Wang Chong, where is my wife? Has she gone off to patrol within the ranch again?" Lei Bowu asked as he walked inside the base with the child in his arms. As a son-in-law of the Wang Family, he could originally help Wang Luotong manage operations within the ranch.
Only, thirty-nine years ago, after the birth of their eldest daughter, Wang Limei, family rules dictated that the child must be raised in the main residence until sixteen years old, preferably with one parent.
Therefore, as the weaker party in the marriage, Lei Bowu could only return to the Wang Family’s Main Residence to take care of the child.
Fortunately, the Wang’s Large Ranch is only half a day’s ride at full gallop from the main residence, so Wang Luotong can make time to reunite, and Lei Bowu can occasionally bring the child to visit Luotong.
Thus, when Wang Limei turned eighteen, Lei Bowu returned to the ranch to assist Luotong. Until five years ago, Wang Luotong, who was still at the Peak of Ninth Layer in the Spirit Platform Realm, gave birth to a son, Wang Zongbo.
Lei Bowu had to return to the Wang Family’s Main Residence once more, devoting himself wholeheartedly to being a stay-at-home dad. There was no choice; he was madly in love with Wang Luotong in his youth, and being a live-in son-in-law naturally entails some sacrifices.
Luckily, Lei Bowu doesn’t have any grievances, after all, his wife is one of Wang Family’s Celestial Prides and must earn more family contributions through work for the family, right? A Celestial Pride’s cultivation consumes a lot of resources if pursued rapidly.
Although the Wang Family provides Luotong with substantial support, she is also required to complete extra tasks to earn contributions to speed up her cultivation. And Lei Bowu stays busy at the main residence too, often taking on family tasks that don’t require travel, to subsidize his wife, consuming vast amounts of resources.
Returning to the main topic.
Household general Wang Chong respectfully replied, "Master Lei, you are aware that with our Wang Family’s ranch growing in scale and output, there are always some fierce birds and beasts infiltrating our ranch after crossing the border from the Great Wilderness Marsh, sneaking in to steal spiritual livestock."
"A few days ago, a patrol discovered tracks of several Desolate Swamp Ferocious Crocodiles; they’re incredibly cunning and have already secretly dragged away several Spiritual-Horned Yaks. Ancestor Luotong personally led the family soldiers to exterminate those fierce crocodiles."
"Desolate Swamp Ferocious Crocodiles?" Lei Bowu furrowed his brows, "What’s going on with the Waang Family on the Zhenze Guard side? Their defense against the Great Wilderness Marsh is too lax. I’ve heard of several incidents already occurring over the past few years."
