Meanwhile, rumors linking Princess Qingyang to Wang Shouzhe spread through Heavenly Auspice Sacred City, and Wang Baoguang decided to exploit the scandal to launch his magazine.

• Jiang Muxian defeated Gui Yongming and then Si Huazang, winning first place and the relic key from Sacred Venerable Yunpeng.

• Wang Shouzhe saw the magazine cover portraying him bullying Princess Qingyang and demanded that Wang Baoguang come see him.

Wang Baoguang explained his scheme to use Sacred City gossip to turn the princes against one another, while Wang Shouzhe ordered him to refine the plan and keep his identity hidden.

• Wang Shouzhe inspected the estate, gave its guardian spirit plant Chaos Essence, and renamed her Wang Qianteng.

The East Sea Immortal King confronted Wang Shouzhe over rumors involving Qingyang and tried to arrange a marriage, but two Sacred Venerables arrived to help relocate Wang Shouzhe’s immortal estate. After the estate was settled and its seventh-rank spirit rice was tasted, Green Little Yi announced that the Taiyi Golden Thunder Bamboo’s consciousness had awakened, and Wang Shouzhe named it Wang Zongzhu.

• The East Sea Immortal King accused Wang Shouzhe of bullying Qingyang and proposed marriage negotiations, but Wang Shouzhe rejected the claims and refused to entertain the match.

• Green Little Yi arrived and reported that the Taiyi Golden Thunder Bamboo’s consciousness had awakened, so Wang Shouzhe named the bamboo Wang Zongzhu.

Over ten years, Wang Shouzhe’s plans gradually tightened their grip on Spirit Rice supplies as the Sacred Domain Development Headquarters bought spirit medicines and grain while families shifted away from growing rice. With Prince Wenyu’s estate nearing a crisis and the princes’ rivalry temporarily easing, Wang Shouzhe and his allies decided the moment had come to close the net.

Grain prices surged after years of suppression, exposing how Prince Wenyu’s policies had depleted the Heavenly Auspice Sacred Dynasty’s reserves and left it vulnerable to war. The Holy Emperor ordered Prince Wenyu to seek grain from Wang Shouzhe, who refused to meet him and instead continued tutoring Wang Zongzhu.

• Dongye Fantian mocked Beigong Bohong for holding onto Spirit Rice, but Beigong Bohong’s brother-in-law announced that grain prices had doubled.
• Major grain merchants competed to buy Beigong Bohong’s stored grain, while he declined to sell it all at once and Dongye Fantian regretted selling his own reserves.
• Helian Duocai told Prince Wenyu that the grain shortage had been worsened by families switching their fields to spirit medicines, and Prince Wenyu learned that two of the Sacred City’s three grain warehouses were already empty.
• Yao Xingshu explained that the Yao Clan and other major families had little grain to spare, while Helian Duocai estimated that compensating them to switch back to Spirit Rice would cost more than thirty Chaos Spirit Stones.
• The Heavenly Auspice Holy Emperor warned Prince Wenyu that the grain shortage could invite an attack from the Heavenly Prosperity Sacred Dynasty, then ordered him to obtain grain from Wang Shouzhe.
• Prince Wenyu requested an audience with Wang Shouzhe, but Wang Shouzhe told Jiang Muxian to turn him away and continued giving Wang Zongzhu math problems.

Wang Shouzhe forced Prince Wenyu to buy his enormous grain reserves for forty-five Chaos Spirit Stones and secured a miniature eighth-grade Fire Spirit Vein with the Holy Emperor’s intervention. He gathered five miniature eighth-grade spirit veins, planted the Five-Colored Spirit-Nurturing Tree in his Portable Cave Abode, and prepared to turn his remaining wealth into spirit veins for the Divine Martial World.

• Prince Wenyu waited more than ten days to meet Wang Shouzhe, then offered Jiang Muxian a thread of Chaos Origin while seeking to repair their relationship.

• Wang Shouzhe received the fire spirit vein and later gathered miniature eighth-grade metal, water, wood, and earth spirit veins from other powers.
• Cai Youdao buried the five spirit veins in Wang Shouzhe’s Portable Cave Abode, creating an eighth-grade spirit field, and Wang Shouzhe planted and catalyzed the Five-Colored Spirit-Nurturing Tree seed.
