X-Dragon Era-Chapter 490 355-357: Men Family of Three_4
Facing the conditions Xin Yun had offered, Master Men Dou did not refuse at all. Having the chance to personally build a palace completely made from Gold-Threaded Purple Sandalwood was an honor in itself. Such an opportunity had never arisen before and would never come again, for Gold-Threaded Purple Sandalwood was the kind of material that once a tree was chopped down, one less remained. It was already so rare now, let alone in the future.
As for Xin Yun's offers of everlasting life and promotion to a diamond rank, Master Men Dou actually didn't believe him. However... when Master Men Dou followed Xin Yun to the Primordial World, his disbelief was swept away at the sight of mountains and fields of Spirit Stones, Immortal Herbs that filled the sky and earth, and the dense Spiritual Energy that was almost condensing. Only then did he believe Xin Yun's words.
Such a wonderful place, of course, Master Men Dou wouldn't miss it. He promptly pulled Men Dou into the fold and clamored to join Xin Yun's Axe Gang. He wanted nothing more than to reside in the Primordial World. Simply living there for an extended period would grant one immortality.
Facing Master Men Dou's request, how could Xin Yun possibly disagree? He agreed immediately. In the Men Family's three generations, Men Dou excelled in wooden architecture, while Men Dou was adept in family manufacturing. Men Dou's son, the owner of the woodware store, excelled in carving. Whether it was architectural carvings or carvings on tables and chairs, including directly sculpting artworks and statues, he was simply unmatched in skill!
With grandfather, son, and grandson working together, they could meet any need. It is worth mentioning that Men Dou's son, Men Dou's father, was actually named Men Dou. If one were to only listen to the pronunciation, it would sound exactly the same!
Men Dou, Men Dou, Men Dou— who knows what they were thinking when they picked such similar sounding names. But for Xin Yun, it didn't matter what they were called. From now on... the three members of the Men Family would become the Axe Gang's official carpenters!
In order not to damage the environment, Xin Yun didn't plan to use materials like jade for construction within the Primordial World. Instead, he chose various types of wood as materials to build a range of antique pavilions and towers. This was what Xin Yun aspired to, as it wouldn't destroy the environment, blending perfectly into the surroundings.
After seeing the environment of the Primordial World, Master Men Dou and his son couldn't leave immediately. After joining the Axe Gang, there was no need to keep the woodware store open any longer. In the future... building the gang's headquarters would keep them busy for decades, if not centuries. They wouldn't have the mind to manage a woodware store!

As for financial issues, that was even less of a problem. The Axe Gang was never short on money. Not to mention the haul by the Five Rat Brothers, just the Spirit Stones scattered all over the Primordial World—selling off a few would be enough to provide a luxurious life for decades, if not a century.
However, leaving still meant that there were many matters to attend to, including daily necessities and the needed tools, as well as family heirlooms that couldn't be discarded casually. Everything had to be sorted out properly. Xin Yun and the three agreed to meet at ten o'clock this evening for him to come and pick them up.
After sorting everything out, when Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang hurried to the Piaomiao Grand Hotel, Ming Xuan and Yan Qingying had been waiting there for a long time. Despite the wait, neither showed the slightest impatience. Judging from their expressions, they had both had a fruitful day.
Indeed, as soon as Xin Yun sat down, Yan Qingying excitedly stood up to report, "This year's luck is too good. Although I spent quite a bit of money, I actually found twelve formidable girls. Their talent, aptitude, potential, all above 90. My goodness... I could hardly believe my eyes!"
Upon hearing Yan Qingying's words, Xin Yun was stunned. Are there really so many geniuses in the world? But after some thought, it actually made sense. Even if there was one genius per million people, a large city with a population of twenty million could produce 20 geniuses. And in this Primordial World, there were thousands of cities with populations around twenty million.
As he pondered, Xin Yun smiled slightly and said, "That's great. Since they're all so formidable, you'll need to take good care of them and not let their potential go to waste. After all... they are to be your Twelve Apostles, serving you for life. They are your representatives."
"Mhm mhm..." Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yan Qingying nodded excitedly, an uncommon thrill visible on her face. It was known that Yan Qingying usually did not smile, her expression always so cool as if she was detached from the world. Thus, a loss of composure like this was indeed rare for her.
Lost in thought, Ming Xuan said, "I've also had good results. The talent, aptitude, and potential are all above 80. Even though just over 80, having so many already satisfies me."
With a silent sigh, Xin Yun shook his head with a wry smile. After all the fuss, it turned out that his own talent was subpar, with three 66 scores, just passing the grade.
But fortunately, since obtaining the Red Gourd, with continuous refinement of elixirs and a large flow of Spiritual Power permeating into the gourd's walls, transferring to Xin Yun's body, it was slow but steady in improving Xin Yun's talent, aptitude, and potential. And... there was no upper limit to this improvement, even reaching 100 was not the peak.
After a simple lunch, in the afternoon... Xin Yun and the others took the twelve Apostles selected by Yan Qingying and the 365 followers picked by Ming Xuan into the Primordial World. Once finished, they rushed to Master Men Dou's house to transport him and his family, including the women of the household, to the Primordial World as well.
