Chapter 166 Qingxuanzong arrives
Seeing that Wu Xiangjie had thought carefully, everyone didn’t say much. Under the leadership of Ma Jimin, they immediately flew to Chaoyin Mountain.
Chaoyin Mountain is located on the edge of the Duanyun Mountains. It produces a low-level material called Echo Stone, which has been controlled by the Ma family for many years.
The Ma family monks originally mined echo stones, but they didn’t expect to dig deep into Chaoyin Mountain and find precious spiritual stone mines.
Ma Jimin originally wanted to secretly hide the spiritual stone mine, but he did not expect that once the spiritual stone mine started to be excavated, the spiritual energy would continue to leak out. In less than three months, the spiritual stone mine would no longer be hidden.
Once the spirit stone mine is leaked, the Ma family will be in danger of being exterminated.
When Ma Jimin saw something was wrong, he immediately suppressed his greed and notified the other four major families. With the five major families working together and the intervention of Qingxuan Sect, we can be sure to save this spirit stone mine.
Seven or eight foundation-building monks entered the depths of Chaoyin Mountain along the mines where echo stones were mined, and soon felt a sense of spiritual energy filling them.
Torches were lit deep in the mine. Everyone glanced around and immediately discovered some traces of random digging and mining.
Several people looked at Ma Jimin with half-smiling eyes. Ma Jimin suddenly blushed and said, “The juniors at home are disobedient. What happened? After I go back, I will punish some people severely. I have repeatedly ordered not to mess around. Digging for spiritual stones, there are still people who can’t control themselves.”
A few people walked around the depths of Chaoyin Mountain along the mine. Because there were no formation mages among them and they could not explore the mineral veins, they could not yet determine the size of this spirit stone mine.
However, judging from the traces of the Ma family’s excavation, their family dug the spirit stone mine for three months and unearthed at least four to five thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stones.
The Ma family basically has no plan when digging for spiritual stones. They dig wherever it is easy to dig. Although a lot of spiritual stones can be mined, the waste is very serious and the efficiency is not very high.
Mining the Lingshi mine in Taicheng County is inseparable from local snakes like the five major families. Mining the Lingshi mine requires a large number of manpower and the protection of many monks.
Leaving the five major families, monopolizing the spirit stone mines, and transferring manpower, food, spiritual rice and other materials from the Qingxuan Sect a hundred thousand miles away would not only consume a lot of money, but also cause complaints from the five major families.
Once a foreign enemy invades, they win over the local gangsters, and eventually cause uncontrollable chaos, which will also be very troublesome for Qingxuan Sect.
Therefore, since the five major families are willing to notify Qingxuanzong when mining this spirit stone mine, it means that they are still willing to use Qingxuanzong as their backer. Although Qingxuanzong can take the lion’s share of the Lingshi mine, some of the soup should be reserved for the five major families.
Everyone explored the spirit stone veins. Wu Xiangjie glanced at everyone and said, “What do you think?”
Zhang Zhixuan didn’t hide anything, he just said what he wanted and directly said what he meant.
“Judging from the Lingshi veins below, we can’t yet determine the size of the Lingshi veins, but judging from the traces of mining by Daoyou Ma and the others, the possibility of small Lingshi veins is greater. The top priority is to notify Qingxuanzong immediately, and wait. The formation master of Qingxuan Sect is here, exploring the reserves of the spirit stone mine, and making a decision!
Even if Qingxuanzong takes over the Lingshi Mine alone, it is better than remaining in our hands as a hot potato. The spiritual energy of this spiritual stone mine is getting stronger day by day. As long as you are not blind, it is still easy to find. Once the news about the Lingshi Mine comes out, it cannot be hidden at all. We in Taicheng County have dug up the Lingshi Mine, and I am afraid it will soon become a battlefield. As a local cultivating family in Taicheng County, it is not just Daoyou Ma and his family. Several others are hardly spared. “
Everyone agreed with what Zhang Zhixuan said. Wu Xiangjie personally came forward, went to Qingxuan Sect, and informed Li Zigong, the elder of Qingxuan Sect’s General Affairs Hall.
As the formation master drilled formation flags near Chaoyin Mountain and continuously explored the trend of the spirit stone veins, it took more than a month to get a rough result.
After exploring the veins, Li Zigong said directly, “The veins have been roughly explored. There is indeed a small spirit stone vein here in Chaoyin Mountain. According to our calculations, if 60,000 mortals are invested in mining, approximately fifty pieces of low-grade spirit stones can be mined every day.” Stone. It is estimated that the reserves of Chaoyin Mountain Lingshi Mine should be able to be mined for at least three hundred years.
Therefore, in order to protect this spiritual stone mine, we must establish a powerful formation on Chaoyin Mountain and send high-level monks to garrison this spiritual mountain. If you want to station high-level monks, you must first cultivate high-level spiritual veins. To cultivate high-level spiritual veins, you must invest huge spiritual stone resources in advance. “
Li Zigong took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued: “Guarding such a spiritual stone mine requires Zifu monks, so cultivating spiritual veins lower than the fourth level is not enough. To cultivate a fourth-level spiritual vein, spiritual stones are needed. One hundred thousand, you five families will share half of it.
The fourth-level spirit gathering formation is left to us to refine, and we are also responsible for the arrangements for the stationed Zifu monks. However, you have to pay for the spiritual stones to purchase the fourth-level formation that guards the spiritual veins, and your five families must send no less than 200 monks to Chaoyin Mountain to guard the spiritual veins, and cooperate with our Zifu monks to guard the spiritual stone mines.
Since you all want to get involved, you can’t just sit back and enjoy the results. Get the spiritual stones from home first! “
Li Zigong is in charge of the general affairs and finance of Qingxuan Sect, and he worries about the spiritual stones every day. With the supplement of this spiritual stone mine, the situation will be much better.
He saw that the scale of the Lingshi mine was already quite large, and he had been looking happy these days. Although some of it had to be distributed to the five major families below, the investment in mining this Lingshi vein was also very large.
Although Qingxuan Sect is strong, the family’s business is huge and consumes a lot of money. It supports more than 10,000 monks and there are many places that need spiritual stones.
Without the participation of the five major families, Qingxuan Sect felt it was tight to allocate so much manpower and material resources at once. If you waste too much time and fail to arrange the formation before Hongshan Sect notices it. Without the first move, the Hongshan Sect will definitely fight for it with all their strength, and the casualties will probably be heavy.
Therefore, with five local snakes joining, it is a matter of mutual benefit.
Under the auspices of Li Zigong, they quickly allocated the shares of the spirit stone mine. Because Qingxuan Sect would dispatch Zifu monks to guard the spirit stone mine and would bear half of the spirit stones needed to cultivate fourth-level spiritual veins, Qingxuan Sect occupied the share. The largest share was 75%.
The Wu family is the leader of the five major families in Taicheng County, occupying 10% of the shares. The Ma family is the first family to discover the Lingshi mine and is the local leader of Chaoyin Mountain, occupying 6% of the shares. The other three families, The remaining nine points of the Lingshi Mine shares were equally divided.
According to this ratio, the Wu family needs to provide 20,000 spirit stones, invest 24,000 mortals to mine the spirit stones, and dispatch no less than 100 monks to garrison Chaoyin Mountain.
Although the Zhang family occupies a relatively small share, they invest equally few resources.
They only need to invest 6,000 spirit stones, 7,200 mortals, 24 monks, plus some grain, spiritual rice and other resources to exchange for a 3% share of the spirit stone mine.
According to the estimates of the Qingxuanzong monks, once this spiritual stone mine is completed, it can dig out about 20,000 spiritual stones every year. Even if the Zhang family occupies a relatively small share, they can still get 600 spiritual stones every year, and it only takes ten years of mining. can recover the cost.
This spirit stone mine can continue to be mined for three hundred years. If the Zhang family were not a local gangster, this kind of business would not be their turn anyway.
