Protect Our Chief

The interior of the carriage is even more luxurious and comfortable, featuring lighting, heating, cooling, and an independent bathroom, like a mobile mini palace.

This is the "Palace Chariot," a luxurious product developed by the Wang’s Artifact Refining Headquarters, born after integrating the Wang Family’s "people-oriented" artifact refining philosophy.

Due to technological capabilities temporarily lagging behind those of the Gongye Family’s Artifact Refining Workshop, Wang’s Artifact Refining Headquarters has been following the path of "civilian use, mass production, and modularization" in recent years.

Although long-distance travel is mostly conducted via flying chariots at present, the "Palace Chariot" still has a considerable market.

The reason why the Wang Family produces such luxury products is, firstly, after developing various new technologies, numerous technical by-products emerge, which shouldn’t be wasted. Secondly, the Wang Family possesses a natural advantage in the production of raw materials.

With Wang Shouzhe’s continued enhancement of his bloodline talent, his cultivation and development of various plants, including spirit plants, have reached an unimaginable level.

Through his hands, many highly practical economic plants have been cultivated, some of which were unimaginable to others in the past.

Among these, there is the Spirit Cypress that can produce large quantities of high-quality resin, whose products replace most functions of rubber, with better performance.

There is also the optimized fast-growing Spirit Sandalwood.

Under the effect of the Wang’s Spirit Gathering Array and Wang Lixian, the fast-growing Spirit Sandalwood can become timber within just a few years.

The timber produced from fast-growing Spirit Sandalwood can’t compare to certain spirit wood materials in terms of weight and solidity, but it is extremely lightweight, insect-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and far more sturdy than ordinary wood materials, with a sandalwood scent refreshing the mind.

In the current market, this is certainly the most cost-effective material among those used to manufacture flying chariots. The excess materials are used to construct "Palace Chariots," generating additional revenue. After all, the market for Palace Chariots is vast, far exceeding that of flying chariots.

The low cost of primary materials, coupled with the Wang Family’s expertise in modular design and assembly line production, these advantages are enough for the Wang Family to quickly capture the market.

The price of Palace Chariots varies from ten thousand Qian Gold to hundreds of thousands of Qian Gold, depending on the materials and luxury level, not including the Spirit Horses or Spirit Beasts pulling the chariot.

As of now, total sales of Palace Chariots in the Daqian Kingdom have reached over a thousand units, and the future market is very promising, at least a market worth billions.

There’s no choice; as the Wang Family develops better and better, the number of outstanding bloodline members in the family increases, and the pressure on funds becomes increasingly apparent. Only by continuously expanding the sources of income can the growing pressure of funds be handled.

This "Palace Chariot" is the luxury version, with two Tier Three Spirit Horses pulling it, nearly equivalent in value to a Spiritual Bird Flying Chariot, owned by Wu Jinghao from the Junior Prince’s Southern Desert County Prince’s Family.

At this moment, Wu Jinghao is lying comfortably inside the chariot, served by two beautiful maidservants beside him.

Facing him sits one of the past two Little Overlords of the Southern Desert—Wang Shihai.

At this moment, Wang Shihai of Southern Desert is no longer the little brat from before. He wears a regal Black Tortoise Martial Attire, sporting two small mustaches, his gaze deep and upright, clearly already a mature and steady young man.

With his extraordinary Celestial Pride Talent, coupled with the long-term and consistent nurturing by the Southern Desert Wang Family, Wang Shihai, now one hundred thirty years old, has cultivation reaching the Third-Layer of Celestial Human Realm.

Even in the talent-rich Fifth-Grade Noble Family, such cultivation counts as a core member.

Of course, Wang Shihai can’t be compared to those top ten outstanding youths in the Upper Capital City, let alone match those abnormal ones from the Wang Family. But compared to the majority of people in this world, he is already far stronger.

However, compared to most people in this world, he is already far stronger, with a high probability of achieving the Purple Mansion Realm in the future, considered to be among the elite.

Originally, logically speaking, for the task of escorting gifts, the family could casually arrange for a Celestial Human Realm Elder.

But the Junior Prince Wu Jinghao insists on showing off his newly purchased "Palace Chariot," pulling Wang Shihai along, with both of them volunteering to escort the wedding gifts, and thus they’ve been traveling for several months.

"Wow, this road... it’s so smooth, the main road can accommodate four carriages side-by-side, how much does that cost?" It’s Wu Jinghao’s first time visiting the Longzuo South Six Guards, so naturally, everything is fresh to him.

"This is called a two-way four-lane road. Did you see those two yellow lines in the middle? We must stay on the right and cannot cross the yellow lines. In Changning Guard’s main road, there’s even a two-way six-lane." Wang Shihai replies listlessly. He has visited Changning Guard many times, unlike Wu Jinghao, who hasn’t seen much of the world.

The closer to Changning Guard, the more vehicles appeared on the road, and occasionally flying chariots skimmed through the skies.

Until their convoy arrived at the Changning Ferry, the so-called two-way six-lane was actually congested!

There were carriages everywhere, all kinds of carriages, judging by the flags and markings on the carriages, they came from different families.

Not only that, but even the ships within Anjiang were continuously coming and going.

"Shihai, didn’t we come half a year early?" The Junior Prince Wu Jinghao is getting a headache, "The Changning Wang Family’s prominence is overwhelming, it’s just the wedding of a direct great-grandson, yet so many people came early to send gifts, far more grand than my own wedding years ago."

Actually, Wu Jinghao is just complaining; he knows that today’s Wang Family is not what it used to be. Wang Anye that young fellow is marrying the Imperial Family’s Great Celestial Pride, and marrying not one but two.

Such romantic fortune truly makes all the young men in Longzuo County envious.

This time, Wu Jinghao comes to offer congratulations also to see what exactly does Wang Anye have, how many talents does he possess to be so capable.
