History says that beauty can ruin a nation, so why is it that the more wives I take, the more secure my regime becomes?
History says that corrupt eunuchs can ruin a nation, so why is it that ...
Chu Anping smiled slightly and nodded in confirmation: "Don't worry about this. The Divine Weapon Pavilion in the Royal Yuya Villa has indeed prepared ten refined divine weapons. These divine weapons have been tempered through thousands of hammers, and each one contains extraordinary power.
Besides these Hundreds of Refined Divine Weapons, the Divine Weapon Pavilion also boasts numerous high-quality weapons, far exceeding ordinary weapons in both sharpness and durability. If you're interested, you can head over to the Divine Weapon Pavilion to explore. I'm sure you'll find something to your liking.
Of course, other areas within the villa also boast a variety of rare finds, from antiques and curios to exotic flowers and plants. I believe you will not be disappointed; every corner may hide a surprising treasure.
To enrich the Royal Ya Villa's assets, Chu Fan offered some of the palace's treasures, while the Mu family and other families also offered their own treasures. After all, the proceeds from the sales would be returned in full after paying taxes. These treasures not only added to the villa's charm, but also demonstrated the deep friendship between the royal family and the aristocratic families.
In the villa, except for the areas managed by the Mu family and a few other families, all other places are properties managed by the royal family. After all, if there are only a few restaurants, pavilions, etc. managed on the 2,100 acres of land, it will seem too deserted.
Of course, the profits from the sales in the areas under the royal responsibility belong to Chu Fan, and the royal family members in charge of these industries receive some salaries and rewards provided by Chu Fan. This allows the royal family members to make a profit, and the money allocated to the royal family from the national treasury and the inner treasury can be reduced.
You know, Chu Fan was quite dissatisfied with the practice of taking money from his inner treasury to support the royal family, thinking that this would weaken his inner treasury reserves. He had to use the money in the inner treasury after completing the system task and returning to Blue Star.
After establishing the Royal Government Affairs Office, Chu Fan gradually reduced the allocation to the inner treasury and instead provided the royal family with jobs so that they could all earn a living on their own. This not only ensured the daily expenses of the royal family but also reduced the burden on the inner treasury, killing two birds with one stone.
So in fact, in addition to the areas managed by several families in the Royal Yuya Manor, there are really a lot of good things in other places.
Empress Canglan smiled and replied, "To hear Elder Chu mention such a rare item, it must be extraordinary. We will take a good stroll around the villa and perhaps discover even more amazing treasures."
Others also echoed. After all, Chu Anping was a martial artist who was half a step away from becoming a grandmaster. They still had to show due respect to the strong.
At this moment, Empress Canglan's gaze was drawn to a towering attic on the Chuitai. Towering into the clouds, it looked from afar like a sharp sword piercing the heavens, emanating an awe-inspiring aura. She couldn't help but wonder if the attic might be hiding some kind of great treasure.
So the Queen Canglan asked Chu Anping beside her, "Old Chu, is there a chance for me to go and explore the attic on the top of that mountain?"
At the same time, people from other factions also turned their attention to the attic on Chuitai Mountain, their eyes filled with curiosity and exploration. After all, the attic's high location and its unique aura could not help but arouse endless imagination.
Chu Anping slowly explained, "That attic is the Tengwang Pavilion of our Wei State. After our ancestor was canonized as the Tengwang, he would always sit in that attic."
Chu Anping's answer shocked everyone present. Chu Yuanwu's reputation was known to everyone on the Shengwu Continent. If such a renowned figure was willing to condescend to reside in such a small attic, then there must be something unusual about it, perhaps hiding a shocking secret.
The Queen Canglan continued to question Elder Chu, "Elder Chu, what kind of treasure is hidden in Tengwang Pavilion that requires a peak Grandmaster to personally guard it?"
The other people present also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear Chu Anping's next answer.
Chu Anping replied calmly, "In fact, there are no special treasures in Tengwang Pavilion. It only contains a peerless secret manual and some peerless skills, as well as many precious ancient books and skills collected by our Wei royal family."
When they heard the word "peerless", everyone's eyes began to sparkle with excitement. Even those masters at the master level could hardly resist this temptation, and their hearts were filled with desire for those secret books.
Empress Canglan was also very tempted. After all, peerless secret manuals and techniques meant a golden opportunity for a warrior to break through bottlenecks and improve their strength. She took a deep breath and asked, "It would be a great honor to be able to see it. I wonder if Elder Chu would be willing to accommodate me?"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Chu Anping's response. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Although they knew that such a request was a bit excessive, they were unwilling to miss any opportunity.
Chu Anping also knew the appeal of peerless secret manuals and techniques to these warriors. He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Our Emperor Wei's concern for the people of the world is not just talk. It is certainly possible to go up to Tengwang Pavilion, but everyone knows that a place with peerless secret manuals and techniques is not easy to enter."
After hearing Chu Anping's words, everyone was both excited and nervous. You know, there are not many secret books that can be called peerless on this continent. Each one is regarded as a treasure by the power that obtains it and is hidden tightly. It is extremely difficult to even know of its existence, let alone read it.
However, the Wei royal family was willing to share this secret manual, even if the conditions were difficult. It was difficult for them to directly make a request now. After all, the Canglan Empress and Chu Anping were communicating. If they interrupted, it would be disrespectful to the Canglan Empire and the Wei Kingdom.
They could only wait quietly, secretly figuring out how to get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Canglan Empress spoke up, "Old Master Chu, may I know the conditions for entering Prince Teng's Pavilion? We in the Canglan Empire are willing to pay the corresponding price, just to see the peerless secret manual."
Chu Anping said without hesitation, "Actually, the conditions for entering the Tengwang Pavilion are not complicated. Any emperor or master from a country that is friendly with the Wei State can visit the Tengwang Pavilion for a day."
Upon hearing Chu Anping's offer, the Canglan Empress was thrilled. Even though she was the Empress of the Canglan Empire, known as the Ice and Snow Empress, she couldn't conceal her joy. The representatives of the sects all displayed complex expressions, a mixture of envy and helplessness. After all, they were neither emperors nor Grandmasters, and the lack of access to such an opportunity inevitably caused them to feel a pang of sadness.
